China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 874: An unknown person who wants to improve himself

"As for the feeling that she gives me, she is just beautiful."

"pretty?"

"Yes, just like a beauty like Michelle Reis."

A violent storm suddenly arrived. After Arthur's public execution, it was Wang Jing's turn. Wang Jing moved his big butt drum and smiled like a Maitreya Buddha:
"Let me give you an analogy. It's like an exquisite vase. Of course, there is a lot of room for improvement in acting. What do you think, Mr. Zhou?"

To say that an actor has a lot of room for improvement = his current acting skills are terrible.

This is normal, after all, there are only a small number of people with talented monsters.

Wang Rongran is not among them.

She herself has only stepped half a foot into this circle and has not received much systematic acting training.

"I am face-blind and have no concept of beauty."

Zhou Yutang took the microphone and said, "But as for the performance just now, there are big problems with the lines, and the emotional delivery is not good enough. Keep working on it."

"."

Arthur was about to cry.

Uncle Zhou, you were obviously not so gentle just now.

"Being beautiful is both an advantage and your greatest misfortune for an actress."

Since this is someone from her team, Li Shaohong said a few more words: "Because the audience's attention is all on your face, you have to make more efforts and find ways to make the audience integrate into the role."

"Thank you teachers for your criticism and corrections."

Wang Rongran breathed a sigh of relief and bowed slightly: "I will work harder in the future and strive to make greater progress in my acting skills."

This round of public executions ended, and the next person to appear was Zhang Yu.

"Hello, teachers."

Compared to Arthur, Zhang Yu surprisingly did not choose a classic film or TV clip, but chose a conventional performance topic:

“My performance title is ‘Nobody’.”

“This proposition is quite interesting.”

Zhou Yutang quickly glanced at it and it was probably about an unknown actor who was talking to his family on the phone after failing an audition.

"Please begin your performance."

"Director, I didn't perform well just now. Can I do it again? Is the audition over?
"Thank you, sorry to bother you."

The opening was a simple introduction to the situation of failed audition. Zhang Yu went from bowing slightly with a fawning smile on his face to one of loss in an instant.

But he still looked inside unwillingly.

The light in his eyes gradually faded, and he sat on a stool outside the audition room like a zombie.

It wasn't until his cell phone rang that he fumbled around in his pockets and perked up when he saw the caller ID.

"Mom, why are you calling?"

"I'm not at home. I was just auditioning."

"Zhou Yutang's "Snow Swordsman" has just finished airing and the sequel has started. Mr. Zhou wants me to play a supporting role. What role?
I can’t reveal it for now, we have confidentiality regulations, so I came here to try it out, there are a lot of people, and I don’t think I’m a good fit.”

While speaking, the hand holding the phone was shaking slightly.

The other hand was rubbing unconsciously. Zhang Yu tried very hard to force a smile: "I have eaten, I have eaten. The crew has boxed lunches. Have you and my dad eaten yet?"

"Dad, is his blood pressure still high?"

"I have enough money, don't worry. I have been approached by several dramas. Director Zhang Yimou knows that he is also looking for me for his new drama."

"What did Zhou Yutang say? He praised me for my talent. Don't worry."

When talking about feeling relieved, the previously accumulated emotions burst out like a dam-breaking tide. Zhang Yu avoided the camera and covered his face.

The natural outburst of emotions and the silent crying are even more heartbreaking.

After taking a few deep breaths, Zhang Yu stood up again, his eyes slightly reddened, and his bright smile returned.

"Well, work hard. If there's a role for me, I'll definitely act well."

"."

When Zhang Yu finished her performance, Zhou Yutang led the applause: "You showed the real situation of middle- and lower-level actors in the entertainment industry. Your performance was very lifelike."

"Thank you, teacher."

"When you go out to work, you report good news but not bad news."

Lao Mouzi also sighed: "It's not easy for the actors below."

"Mr. Zhou, have you ever had such an experience?"

"I should be considered the type who is less worried. I have never caused my parents too much worry since I was a child."

Zhou Yutang said calmly: "But I have many friends around me who started from the bottom. I have heard them talk about what happened back then."

Ning Hao, Huang Bo and others all went through hard times.

When we get together to chat, I often hear them reminiscing about the good and bad times.

In the current entertainment industry ecosystem, all the top celebrities are making a living.

But actors at the bottom of the social ladder are not as glamorous as everyone imagines.

Just like ordinary workers, I live an ordinary life.

You may have appeared on screen and no one recognized you.

If there is a role to play, act in it. If there is no role to play, just stay at home and do nothing.

To some extent, there is uncertainty in an actor’s career. Sometimes, if they don’t get any roles for several months or half a year, they start to question their lives.

After all, Zhang Yu came from the drama stage and has solid acting skills.

The emotional outpouring towards parents is also very sincere.

Compared with Arthur in front, the difference is obvious.

Not surprisingly, several instructors gave high scores.

The next person to take the stage was Xie Junhao, who said calmly, "The segment I will be performing is 'Red Ling'."

He had already put on his makeup, and Zhou Yutang, Zhang Yimou and others were also interested.

Everyone knows that Governor Zhou became a legend in Cannes because of this movie.

As soon as the bgm sounded, he went on stage to receive the award.

That fire killed a whole house of jackals, and it continues to burn to this day.

"Sharp enough."

When his performance ended, Fatty Wang was the first to give a thumbs up.

Li Shaohong also nodded: "Impeccable performance."

“This is the old drama.”

Lao Mouzi raised his hand and gestured, saying with emotion: "The charm of this character is brought out. It feels different from the original version."

It's not easy to learn well, but it's easy to learn bad things.

Lao Mouzi has appeared in many variety shows in the past two years and has mastered the program effects.

His acting of the shocked face was extremely smooth, not inferior to Xie Junhao's.

Several mentors gave high praise to his collaboration with Du Du Zhou in "Snow".

I am simply speaking from a professional perspective as a director, and speaking with conscience.

Xie Junhao's acting skills are indeed quite impressive.

It’s not that he acted better than Zhou Yutang, it’s just that everyone has their own performance rhythm.

The most important thing is to present a complete story to the audience through your own understanding and interpretation of the role.

Little-known fact: it happened in 34, at the th Golden Horse Awards.

Xie Junhao won the Best Actor award for his performance in "The Thirteenth Son of the South China Sea", beating Leslie Cheung in "Happy Together", and won the best actor award.

The girl's heart is filled with tears and fragrance, but where can the swallows find the remaining pond when they return?

Hong Xiao stole the snow on the cold river at night, and the fool was none other than Shisanlang.

******
The program recording was successfully completed.

Upon learning that Zhou Yutang's crew had no evening rehearsals, Zhang Yibei even booked a hotel in advance.

This sister is quite excited.

Zhou Yutang was the special guest today and the show was indeed more effective than the previous one.

On the way to the hotel, Zhou Yutang chatted with Lao Mouzi all the way.

"After 10 days of release, the box office has reached 26.32 billion yuan, which is really amazing."

"It's the right time, right place and right people that have made this possible." When talking about Wolf Warriors 2, even Zhang Yimou was shocked. Zhou Yutang was calm: "Director Zhang, how are the preparations for your new film going?"

The Three Kingdoms-themed movie that the national master had previously prepared was later shelved temporarily and the script underwent detailed adjustments.

Zhu Yilong is still the lead actor.

Speaking of which, Brother Long’s resources are definitely enough to make countless actors in the circle envious.

Because of his brotherly relationship with Governor Zhou, he has been ranked among the top three since his debut.

Although people outside are joking that the contract Zhu Yilong signed with Jiang Dong is a contract to sell himself, if he has the chance to sign this contract, he will probably be able to break down the threshold of Jiang Dong's building.

Jiangdong’s own film and television projects are available at will.

This year alone, Zhu Yilong has top resources for two top productions.

"I asked Yilong, he will probably finish it this month. Once Zhu Yilong finishes his work, the filming will start next month at the latest."

"Can you take a break?"

"After resting at home for too long, all kinds of problems come out."

Lao Mouzi smiled and said, "It's better to stay in the crew. After the BRICS Film Festival is over, I will come back and have a meeting. What are your arrangements?"

"Ask for leave from the crew."

Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead, feeling helpless.

Zhang Yimou was referring to the BRICS Film Festival, which is co-hosted by the five BRICS countries: China, Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa.

This year's BRICS Film Festival is held in Chengdu, China.

A leader has spoken.

Zhang Yimou, who has international influence, and Zhou Yutang, the face of the Chinese entertainment industry, will naturally support him.

At the dinner in the evening, the atmosphere was lively with people toasting each other and drinking a lot.

Zhang Yu took the initiative to bring a glass of wine over: "Director Zhang, Director Wang, Director Li, President Zhou, thank you for your care, I toast to you."

Zhang Yu, who entered society early, toasted everyone.

Some people at the table applauded, while others exclaimed that it was a huge amount.

Others also became restless.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yutang did not give them a chance to perform. He stood up and said, "There will be a show tomorrow morning. That's all for tonight."

After the Grand Commander said this, the others did not dare to act rashly and only felt regretful.

He regretted not having thought of showing himself in front of the Grand Commander of Jiangdong, and let Zhang Yu take the lead.

Look, after the dinner was over, Zhou Yutang still pulled him aside to talk.

Zhou Yutang has always admired Zhang Yu, with whom he once worked.

When he played the role of a younger brother in "Big Shot", he didn't have much room to perform.

But being able to play such an inconspicuous role well shows an actor's skills.

But, appreciation is just appreciation.

After all, he was the helmsman of Jiangdong and was usually busy with many things. The two had few opportunities to meet after that play.

After reading the background check information prepared by Dudu, it seems that Zhang Yu's development is not very successful.

He is able to get acting jobs, but due to his appearance and background, he cannot get any important roles.

In recent years, many Japanese invaders have been torn to pieces in Hengdian, and this year there was also a low-budget movie "An Elephant Sitting Still".

"Jiang Dong has a project auditioning these two days."

Zhou Yutang didn't go through any formalities and went straight to the point: "If you are interested, you can go over and try it."

"I'm definitely interested."

I don’t know if it’s because I drank a few too many glasses of wine, but Zhang Yu’s throat was dry and his hands were shaking a little.

It was a low and light voice, but to his ears it sounded like the sound of nature.

"If you work hard, you will be successful sooner or later."

Patting Zhang Yu on the shoulder, Zhou Yutang got into the car with a smile, his movements slightly hesitant.

Seeing the beautiful figure reflected in the car window, he turned around and asked, "Where does she live?"

Today, Chen Duling used up her precious half-day holiday again. Chen Ning was still capable and said without hesitation:
"It should be the Xiangshan Port International Hotel on Binhai Avenue."

This hotel is only a 15-minute drive from the film and television city. Jiangdong Entertainment has long-term cooperation with hotels in Hengdian and Xiangshan for private rooms.

Zhou Yutang himself has a long-term presidential suite.

He usually stayed in a motorhome when rehearsing a big night show, the president's suite in the Immortal Cultivation Holy Land, and there were several houses in the surrounding communities.
"On the way, take her in the car."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou!"

Wang Rongran is basically an amateur female college student, so the company doesn't need to provide her with a special car.

Zhou Yutang said the dinner party was over, so she placed an order on the taxi app.

Listening to Zhou Yutang and Zhang Yu talking, he wanted to step forward, but was afraid of offending them.

Hearing Chen Ning coming over to talk to him, he was secretly excited and went along with it, getting into Zhou Yutang's luxury business car.

This car is a specially customized bulletproof version, and it looks very tough.

"Mr. Zhou, thank you for your help tonight."

Wang Rongran put his legs together and smiled shyly.

"You should have an assistant, right?"

"Yes, but I basically have nothing to do here."

Wang Rongran nodded and said, "Sister Zhen is taking care of me part-time. She has other things to do right now."

"When will your drama, The General, be aired?"

Zhou Yutang opened the car refrigerator, took out two bottles of water and handed one to her.

In the drama "The General Is Female" which was rejected by Jiangsu TV station, Wang Rongran played the second female lead, and was the cousin of Xiao Ma, the Golden Horse Award winner.

In terms of starting point, it is also quite unusual.

Even Zhou Shufang's marketing experience as a "little fairy" was dug up, and netizens rated her as a rising star.

However, it is also bad luck.

After "The General Is Female" was rejected by Jiangsu Satellite TV, no TV station was willing to take over.

With the channel for TV broadcasting cut off, the show could only be broadcast online, and Youku took advantage of the opportunity to get the exclusive broadcast rights on the entire network.

"Thank you."

Wang Junran took the water somewhat flattered and took a sip: "I heard in the group that it might be around November."

"Filming a drama is very different from being on a variety show."

Zhou Yutang asked casually: "Do you have any thoughts?"

“Seeing so many talented seniors, I feel that there is a huge gap and I still have a lot of shortcomings.”

"Don't lose heart, at least you can cry without using eye drops."

"."

Wang Rongran lowered his head and said, "Actually, I couldn't cry at the time, but when I thought about my parents' divorce, my emotions got a little out of control."

She watched the lights from the ceiling of the car scatter like broken glass onto her cheeks, which were as white as snow on a flower tree.

There was actually a feeling of being weak and helpless.

Zhou Yutang suddenly realized: "The emotional transmission of an actor is also a science, so take your time."

You know what, they do look a bit similar.

Miss Liu also grew up with Aunt Liu.

The same is true for Wang Rongran, but her mother's family background is definitely not comparable to Aunt Liu's. She only opened a clothing store in her hometown of Zibo.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Zhou Yutang got a lot of information.

Wang Rongran glanced sideways frequently and stole a glance no less than fifteen times.

The more I look at him, the more I feel that he cares about me.

The world-famous Jiangdong Grand Commander was not that scary, so Wang Rongran gradually relaxed and asked boldly:

"Mr. Zhou, in what aspects do you think I should improve myself?"

"First, study hard in the theater."

Zhou Yutang glanced at him and said, "You still need to improve your control over your facial expressions."

Zhou Ye has endured for so long, it will be difficult for Wang Rongran to get on the table without settling down for a few years.

However, she is only 18 years old this year, so we can't be too strict with her. Let's talk about it later.
