Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 79: Persistence is what it takes!

There was nothing special about the first big gathering, it was basically just a meet-and-greet.

Except for Cao Xing who had asked for leave in advance, the main members of the crew gathered together and everyone met and got to know each other formally.

The male lead Guo Chen has already cut his hair into a neat short style, but this makes his face look even fatter...

Fortunately, he himself is aware of the seriousness of the problem. It is said that he has begun to strictly control his diet intake and started to lose weight and exercise in the past two days.

The second male lead Zhang Yunfeng has also begun to adapt to his new role and took the initiative to get a sexy perm.

After all, Zhou Xun’s character is a slightly ruffian-like criminal investigation team leader, and his hairstyle is one of the souls of his look.

The role of Zhou Shutong was basically decided by Shanhai, but Lin Xina showed her professionalism with her neat short hair, leaving everyone in the crew speechless.

Sacrificing one's image for a role was a duty for actors in the past, but for the new generation of actors, this is already considered a standard of professionalism.

After all, some young actresses would make a fuss for a long time if they didn't even have a layer of putty on their face, let alone cut their hair. They can't act without semi-permanent makeup.

No matter whether you fly into the sky, dive into the sea, or roll in the mud, your hairstyle must not be messy and your makeup must not be ruined!
"I am a newcomer with little experience, so it is inevitable that I will make mistakes and omissions when acting. I hope that the seniors will forgive me."

"At the same time, I hope you will give me some advice. As a newcomer, I am not afraid of being scolded. As long as I can learn something, that's fine."

After saying this, he took the initiative to bow, and his humble attitude won applause from the whole audience.

The forensic doctor Gao Yanan is played by Yuan Yan, the policewoman Zhao Qian is played by Ren Zifei, and Han Bin is played by Liu Haochang...

They are basically all actors employed by Shanhai Film and Television. They have appeared in many dramas in the past, but they are basically supporting roles whose dramas are popular but they themselves are not.

Liu Wei likes to use actors who do a good job but earn little.

When it was Zhou Hao's turn, he started to make fun of himself directly.

"I have no previous acting experience. I am just learning on the job. If there are any problems during this period, please feel free to criticize me. I have no other advantages except that I am thick-skinned and I am not afraid of spit."

"We wouldn't dare to do that." Guo Chen teased, "What if I scold you and you secretly change the script and kill us?"

The whole room burst into laughter.

After a round of appearances, everyone has a basic understanding of the partners they are about to work with.

Director Liu Wei came up at the end and made a summary speech.

“…There are a few things I want to emphasize again!”

"First, do not leave the crew at will during training and filming. If you need to leave for any reason, you must ask for leave first. I don't want the crew's work to be affected because of one person's absence without reason!"

"Second, from now on, unless it is a public event of the crew, do not accept media interviews casually, and do not participate in those meaningless disputes. Do our own thing well, and the market and the audience will naturally give us a fair evaluation!"

"Third, my work principle has always been to put quality control first. In my eyes, I never differentiate between the protagonist and the supporting role. I will scold anyone who makes a mistake!"

"If anyone is afraid of being scolded and cannot accept my work style, it's not too late to leave now. Don't come crying and bring back someone to argue with me when you get scolded. I won't accept that!"

"Finally, everyone knows the situation of this drama. Penguin Video and Shanhai Film and Television both have high hopes for this drama, and we have already boasted about our achievements, so we can only win this battle and not lose!"

"In the few months we work together, I hope we can work together to produce an excellent work, and tell those unscrupulous investors and those fake actors what the correct way to open a web drama is!"

When the words fell, there was thunderous applause.

While clapping, Zhou Hao secretly sighed: Director Liu's ability to mobilize people is really good.

If this had happened during the war, he would have been a good candidate to be a political commissar.

At noon, Liu Wei paid for a meal for the entire crew, and alcohol was allowed during the meal.

But after this meal until the end of the filming, no one in the crew is allowed to drink again. Violators will be fined, and if they do it again, they will be kicked out!

This management method has a bit of a military flavor, and most delicate actors can't stand it. After dinner, everyone was given some time to sober up and rest. At 4 pm, Zhou Hao was called down to start training.

The training ground was in the small logistics square of the hotel. Although the hottest period had passed, the heat wave had not yet dissipated. I started sweating within two minutes.

"Police is a special and sacred profession. Like soldiers, they are one of the projections of the country's image at the social level!" Director Liu Wei personally took charge of the scene with a loud speaker.

“So you have to pay extra attention to your performance. Image creation can be personalized, but there are some lines that cannot be crossed casually!”

"First of all, you must have a basic manner when standing, sitting, and walking. You must not act like a street urchin, especially in formal occasions when you are wearing a police uniform. You must not make any mistakes in your manners!"

"The instructor I invited for you this time is Instructor Zhang from the Police Academy..."

Come on, it's basically a disguised military training. Disciplining etiquette is just a superficial statement, and the real purpose should be to rectify the style of work and establish authority.

As a tyrant on the set, you need absolute right to speak that cannot be challenged!
The first training content made Zhou Hao laugh and cry - standing.

I stood in my dream all night, and I have to continue standing when I come back!

In less than five minutes, some people could no longer stand and sweat began to blur their eyes... They raised their hands to wipe the sweat out of habit.

But Instructor Zhang was obviously not a merciful person. He started patrolling with a bamboo stick in his hand. If he saw anyone moving around, he would hit them with the stick.

For a time, screams came one after another.

In less than fifteen minutes, someone couldn't hold on any longer and asked for a break. It was Ren Zifei, who played the policewoman Zhao Qian.

When he left the court, his steps were weak and his lips were pale, and he seemed to have signs of heatstroke.

After twenty-five minutes, Lin Xina couldn't bear it anymore and raised her hand to ask for leave, holding her knees.

After gritting their teeth for half an hour, more and more people began to leave for a break, and the two male protagonists also left one after another.

Forty minutes later, Zhou Hao was the only one still standing, and he didn't even move.

The heat and fatigue are indeed a bit unbearable.

But compared with the brutal courses in the training system, the current training is nothing.

They are still standing at attention. During the systematic training, they were still wrapped in cotton-padded jackets in the hot summer. What is this now?
"Sure, Xiao Zhou." Liu Wei, who was holding a glass of iced drink, was surprised. "You are a young man after all!"

"And his standing posture was maintained very well, with little deformation throughout the entire process." Instructor Zhang at the side also nodded repeatedly with satisfaction.

Then he tapped Zhou Hao's arm with a bamboo pole and said, "That's enough. Go down and have a rest. You don't have to participate in the standing training in the future."

Upon hearing this, the group of people sitting below were filled with envy.

If I had known I could be exempted from the test, I would have held on for a while longer even if it meant gritting my teeth!
When he arrived at the rest area, almost everyone gave him a thumbs-up.

I am really impressed.

After all, we had just experienced it, and we all knew how strong willpower was needed to persevere to the end.

"Writer Zhou, here you go." Lin Xina handed him a glass of iced honey and looked at him with sparkling eyes. "Have you ever been a soldier?"

Zhou Hao thanked him, took the ice drink, and shook his head to deny it.

"Then how can you stand so steadily?" Lin Xina was surprised. "You don't seem tired at all."

"Young people are full of energy, so it's normal for them to last." Guo Chen next to him suddenly started driving, and everyone around him burst into laughter.

Lin Xina obviously understood it as well and blushed and said "Pooh".

As they were chatting, an assistant ran over with a cell phone in his hand, looking panicked, and whispered something in director Liu Wei's ear.

Before he even finished listening, Liu Wei's face changed drastically!
