number one idol

Chapter 140
The entrance to the gym.

A nanny car came.

Many staff members greeted them, including Lu Yuan, the chief director of "Ace Vs Ace".

Lu Yuan is 48 years old this year, but looks very young, with thick hair and long black bangs.

He has worked in Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV stations for many years as a producer, and has participated in the creation of many variety shows.

Since the beginning of last year, he began to work on "Ace Vs Ace", which has once again gained popularity in the industry and won the recognition of many entertainers and stars.

He even won the "Annual Ingenuity Producer Award" at the Ingenuity Ceremony of the Huaguo Variety Show Summit, with outstanding personal strength.

Now exactly one year has passed, and the recording of the second issue of "Ace Vs Ace" has also begun.

Whether it is the public or the artist, the expectations for this program are very high.

In fact, whether it's "The Voice of Dreams" or "Ace Vs Ace", they can be regarded as the facade of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV's variety shows.

And there are very few stars who can be on these two programs at the same time.

Because one is a professional singing competition, and the other is a purely funny variety show, there is no commonality in style, and the audience groups are different.

It was a coincidence that He Xiao was able to participate at the same time. He appeared on the stage of "The Voice of Dreams" as an amateur, and then participated in "Ace vs. Ace" as a star. Thinking about it carefully, it was all a coincidence.

At the same time that He Xiao was feeling emotional, Wang Shi beside him also took steps, and greeted the entrance with a smile.

As a senior director in the industry, he has connections all over the showbiz and music circles, and he knows all the celebrity guests who came to participate in the recording today.

At this time, he stepped forward to say hello to the first celebrity who came in very familiarly.

This is a little boy who doesn't look very old, about eighteen or nineteen years old.

He Xiao remembered that he was a member of a group, currently the hottest and popular little fresh meat in China.

The waves of a generation push forward the waves of the past. When this young little fresh meat became popular, it really shocked many people in the circle.

Unknowingly, the tastes of the audience have changed.

The objects they accept can be younger and more diverse, instead of admiring the older generation of stars.

The glory days of the older generation are over.

In other words, this is not just an update of the entertainment industry, the audience has also changed one after another.

After all, after careful calculation, after the New Year this year, even the oldest post-17 generation is already [-] years old.

After another year, it will be the age to go to the university campus.

Post-zero is no longer a child, this is something that many people have not noticed.

It wasn't until the hottest little fresh meat in the country became popular that many people of the older generation suddenly realized it.

It turns out that time flies, and the era that belongs to them has passed quietly.

The market is destined to be dominated by young people, which is already an unstoppable trend.

Therefore, the major entertainment companies have started to launch small fresh meat artists wantonly in the past few years in an attempt to carve up market resources.

And the little fresh meat present in front of him is already considered the "originator" of the small fresh meat, and belongs to the earliest popular group.

It was also because of his popularity that he presented the concept of "Xiao Xianrou" to everyone for the first time.

"Happy Chinese New Year Xiaoyu, this year is one year older!"

Lu Yuan, the chief director of "Ace Vs Ace", went up to welcome him, and warmly greeted the little boy who raised the program's ratings.

His full name is Rong Xingyu. Compared with Bao Haoyu, another young meat artist of the "Yu" generation in the entertainment industry, he can easily crush the latter.

This shows how high Rong Xingyu's popularity has reached!
I remember last year when the news of his first recording and broadcast of "Ace vs. Ace" came out, it caused a huge sensation on the Internet. During the broadcast of the program, the average ratings reached 1.5.

The highest episode even exceeded 2%. With such data, it can firmly occupy the top spot in the ratings list every Friday.

And Rong Xingyu's fans also listed the benefits that Rong Xingyu brought to the program group.

According to the ratings data of CSM52 City, the ratings of "Ace Vs Ace" on February 2nd and 2th last year successfully broke 9, while the program broadcast on the 1th may only have a rating of 16 due to the absence of Rong Xingyu. The gap between front and back is nearly half.

With the most authentic data in front of them, even Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV had to admit that Rong Xingyu's popularity had overshadowed the show itself.

Therefore, the director team attaches great importance to this little fresh meat artist, knowing that the audience is all running for him, and has never been stingy with giving him scenes and shots.

He Xiao looked at this slightly shy big boy from behind, feeling quite emotional in his heart, more or less envious.

In fact, Rong Xingyu's popularity is not accidental, but a combination of many factors such as the right time, place and people.

At that time, it happened to be the time when the older generation of artists were retiring and the middle layer of the entertainment industry was not strong enough.

The competition in the market is not fierce, and the audience's aesthetics has also become fatigued.

Rong Xingyu chose to make his debut at this time, so he naturally had the advantage.

Fresh appearance, good singing skills, immediately attracted everyone's attention.

In just one year, the number of fans on Weibo reached 500 million, and many post-[-]s old aunts expressed that they were fans of him.

So Rong Xingyu rose at the twilight of the gods, and He Xiao just missed this best time.

His debut came at a time when the entertainment circle was dancing wildly. Some old-fashioned entertainers were inextricably killing at the theater box office, while countless little fresh meat idols were rampant.

At the most difficult time for this rookie to stand out, he abruptly entered the public's field of vision.

He Xiao's road was more difficult than Rong Xingyu's.

"Happy New Year, Uncle Lu."

Rong Xingyu had already entered the arena at this time, and greeted Lu Yuan politely.

In the end, he is just a child, and he has never experienced the ups and downs of society, and he has no scheming, and he will not put on airs when facing the elders.

Under Lu Yuan's warm greeting, Rong Xingyu walked towards the lounge and greeted He Xiao when he saw He Xiao.

"I like Brother Xiao's songs very much, I didn't expect to see him in person today!"

Rong Xingyu was a little excited, but also a little shy. He scratched his head and said.

He Xiao is four years older than him, so it's normal for him to call He Xiao brother, but this is calculated according to age. If it is a celebrity, He Xiao is currently inferior to Rong Xingyu.

"Thank you Xiaoyu, I also like your songs."

People gave He Xiao face, He Xiao naturally had to catch it, and immediately made a wave of commercial nonsense.

Not long after Rong Xingyu arrived, the third guest, Guan Chengcheng, also came to the scene. He was a young actress who had debuted as a child star.

Now at the age of 20, her popularity has always been very high, and there is a faint tendency to become a new generation of four little actresses.

Coincidentally, He Xiao had seen her on Yanjing Satellite TV's Spring Festival Gala, and the two were old acquaintances.

Guan Chengcheng has been good-looking since she was a child, and she is a very energetic girl.

In recent years, she has worked with many veteran actors and filmed many TV dramas. It is worth mentioning that the dramas she accepts are full of life, not the kind of school idol dramas.

So her personality has always been very good, belonging to the people-friendly type.

After her, the remaining three permanent guests also arrived one after another.

They are Liao Yuan, a famous movie actor who is known as a box office panacea, and Xu Lei, a comedian who has become popular in recent years.

These two are top celebrities with strong box office appeal and a strong sense of variety. They are the resident guests of the second season of "Ace vs. Ace".

And the last one left is somewhat unexpected, it turned out to be He Xiao's old acquaintance, An Miaoxuan, the mentor of "The Voice of Dreams".

Like He Xiao, she is also the flying guest of this issue, and she is not a resident, and she left after recording the first episode.

Therefore, the pattern of the scene became clearer.

There are six stars in total, including the young group headed by He Xiao, Guan Chengcheng, Rong Xingyu, and An Miaoxuan.

And the older generation represented by Liao Yuan and Xu Lei.

This is a dialogue between two generations in the entertainment circle, and the anticipation of the show is immediately gushing out.

It was getting late, and after getting acquainted with each other, we began to compare scripts and prepare for the recording of the show.

Because they all come with makeup, there is no need to remake it. The assistant will help to fix it, and just change into the costume.

At the front desk, the audience had begun to enter the venue one after another, and the cold studio hall gradually became noisy.

Generally speaking, tickets for variety shows are not for sale, and the audience are all students selected by the program group from major universities.

And when recording, the director is strictly forbidden to use mobile phone video recording, and the content must be kept confidential and cannot be shared outside.

The stage of "Ace vs. Ace" is very gorgeous, and the design is relatively reasonable. No matter where you are in the auditorium, you can clearly see the performance on the stage.

But even so, when the audience enters the arena, the staff will guide the allocation of seats nearby.

Because the audience also has the camera, the program team will select some good-looking female students to sit in the front row to facilitate the inclusion of the camera.

After all the audience were seated, at a glance, all the conspicuous places were beauties, from every school flower class.

Lu Yuan looked around the scene with satisfaction in his eyes, and began to notify the guests and hosts to enter.

Various departments also began to make final adjustments. The stage management finished setting up the stage and all the cameras were in place.

At exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, the recording of the first episode of the second season of "Ace Vs Ace" started!

"Action!"

Lu Yuan's voice came from the walkie-talkie, the lights of the whole scene began to brighten, and the host Yang Tao walked to the stage.

"Welcome to Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV's "Ace Vs Ace", I am the host Yang Tao!"

"Let's applaud Xu Lei, Rong Xingyu, and Guan Chengcheng from the ace family!"

After the voice fell, these three stars who are currently shining in their respective fields in the entertainment industry walked to the stage.

"I heard that we have a new guest in this issue?"

Standing beside the host, Xu Lei, the captain of the Ace Family, asked in feigned surprise.

Yang Tao nodded, and introduced mysteriously to the camera: "Yes, let's welcome this new guest with applause——He Xiao, An Miaoxuan!"

Screams erupted instantly from the audience.

This is to heighten the atmosphere when new guests appear.

He Xiao walked onto the stage with An Miaoxuan.

"Wow, I saw two long legs walking over." Guan Chengcheng covered his mouth and said enviously.

An Miaoxuan had a smile on her face, and hugged Guan Chengcheng, "Cheng Cheng has long legs, I have short legs."

Everyone laughed immediately, Xu Lei looked at He Xiao with his hands in his cuffs, and joked: "I found that young people today have learned how to keep healthy, and they are old-fashioned at a young age."

The camera immediately gave He Xiao a close-up. His hands were crossed in the cuffs like an old lady. After comparing with his young face, he really showed a strange visual sense, and the audience burst into laughter.

He smiled a shy smile and introduced himself to the camera: "This is my first time in "Ace Vs Ace", I hope I can have fun with everyone."

These are all lines that have been negotiated in advance. Variety shows also have scripts, but they are just a general framework. The specific recording process still relies on the guests to freely play and create jokes, which is the so-called sense of variety.

Whoever has a strong sense of variety, the post-editing will definitely be biased towards this person, and cut more of his scenes.

After all, "Ace Vs Ace" is not comparable to "The Voice of Dreams". It is not so professional. It is a purely funny show. As long as it can make the audience happy after it is broadcast, it will be considered a success.

So the entire program was recorded, and there were all sorts of weird game sessions.

To be honest, He Xiao was quite looking forward to it.

This is the first time he has recorded a funny variety show without a competition, and he really wants to see if he has the so-called "variety show sense".

After Yang Tao saw that all five people were on stage, he held up a small sign in his hand and introduced the last guest.

"Let us applaud and welcome the first opponent of the second season of the Ace Family, the movie represents Liao Yuan!"

The wall behind the stage rose, and Liao Yuan, who was wearing a blue suit and a turtleneck sweater, waved to the audience and strode out.

Everyone immediately applauded: "Welcome Teacher Liao Yuan!"

"Thank you everyone." Liao Yuan came to the stage and bowed.

The host deliberately asked: "What has Mr. Liao Yuan been up to lately?" He said this to lead to the following topic.

Because Liao Yuan recently made a movie, which will be released in the next year, so he came to participate in the recording of the program today, and there are also factors in it to promote the new movie.

So Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV naturally had to cooperate and deliberately lead the topic to this aspect.

Liao Yuan took up the topic with ease, and then started a 5-minute publicity in front of the camera.

After 5 minutes, the show officially started and entered the theme.

On the large screen at the rear, a video began to play, and at the same time, the voice of narration came.

"This season's "Ace vs. Ace" has been upgraded. In each episode, the ace family will compete with another team in the talent segment of the game. In each segment, there will be a mysterious ace who will guard the level as the master of the level!"

"In the first episode, we pay tribute to the 70 years of excellent film and television works of the Republic, 70 years of sound recordings, countless familiar melodies and lines, which have become common memories of generations."

"Then in the first session, we will start the youthful memory of the second season of "Ace Vs Ace" through a film "Love on Lushan Mountain", which is of great significance in the film history of Xinhua Kingdom!"

After watching the short film, everyone in the audience applauded with anticipation.

The host Yang Tao said at this time:
"Generation of filmmakers have left their most beautiful youth on the screen, and there are some special people silently guarding the youth of these filmmakers. Let us invite the master of this level to show "Love in Lushan" in cinemas." Members, Cui Jun, Wu Lan!"

Melodious music sounded at the scene, and two half-centenarians helped each other onto the stage.

Liao Yuan, Xu Lei and others took the lead in sending applause.

Today's variety shows have strong amateur elements. Only in this way can the show become more meaningful, more eye-catching, and topical. These two projectionists can be regarded as one of the amateur guests of this episode.

And their stories are indeed wonderful. As the film projectionists of "Love in Lushan Mountain", they have been sticking to this job for 38 years, and they are also the projectionists who have persisted for the longest time in the history of Huaguo.

"In [-], I started working on the projection of the movie "Love in Lushan". When there were about [-] screenings, our unit assigned a young man. He was tall and handsome, and he was next to me. this."

Grandma Wu Lan, the projectionist, told the camera about her experience. When she said this, she grabbed the hand of the old man next to her, and everyone smiled when she saw this.

Grandma Wu Lan continued: "We got married when the movie reached [-] screenings, and our son was born when it was [-] screenings, so the movie "Romance on Lushan Mountain" runs through the trajectory of our lives. "

The story of the two projectionists, combined with the sensational music on the scene, deeply moved the audience.

There were two audience members with red eyes, and the camera immediately took a close-up shot.

This is naturally a professional audience recruited by the program group.

While variety shows are funny, they must also be sensational to be considered successful.

Director Lu Yuan behind the scenes was very satisfied with this scene and continued to control the camera from behind.

Sensational can, but not excessive, otherwise the audience will be easily disgusted.

So the host, Yang Tao, was in control of the rhythm at this time, and he controlled the field with ease. He cut to the next topic and asked, "Then what is the trump card that the two hosts want to protect when they come to today's show?"

Grandpa Cui Jun took a step forward, "The trump card we want to protect is youth, youth in memory."

At this point, the show began to enter another style, and the sensational music disappeared, which meant that the show of the celebrity guests was about to begin.

Yang Tao smiled and said, "Since it is the youth in my memory, I would like to ask everyone here, do you have any deep impressions on the movie "Love in Lushan Mountain"?"

The camera swept over He Xiao and the others one by one, and everyone looked pensive.

Liao Yuan, the representative of the film, recalled: "I have a deep impression on the movie "Romance on Lushan Mountain". The memory is still fresh."

Yang Tao answered: "That's for sure, this kiss scene is called the first on-screen kiss in the history of Xinhua country film." Then he changed the subject: "But besides the kiss scene, there is also a scene of learning English. It's also very classic."

"In this way, we will let Miaoxuan and He Xiao reproduce it for us on the spot, and also present a different youthful memory to the two masters, do you think it is okay?"

"it is good!"

The audience applauded.

He Xiao and An Miaoxuan looked at each other, both smiling.

This is because the program team is adding roles to the two of them, because this episode is only the two of them as flying guests, the kind who leave after recording an episode, so we need to focus on taking care of them.

He Xiao was not surprised by the fact that he was going to perform a show, he knew it when he read the script before.

It's just that when this moment actually came, he was still a little nervous.

He has always felt that acting is a particularly sacred thing, because once he enters that role, he is no longer himself, but a character in the script, with a changed name and a changed life.

That's why He Xiao has always admired and envied actors since he was a child. Everyone has the same life, but he lives brilliantly and can experience thousands of different life experiences.

White collar and doctor, teacher and student, policeman and bandit...

Except for actors, there is no other job in the world that allows people to change their identities continuously.

That's why He Xiao attaches great importance to acting, even if it's just a variety show stage, even if the acting is a mess, no one will say anything about him.

But he just didn't want to be fooled, and by the way, he also wanted to try to see if he had the talent for acting.

And He Xiao attaches so much importance to it, there is another reason besides his own strong desire to perform.

It was the movie "Love on Mount Lushan", which he had seen on the black phone!
There is also "Love on Lushan Mountain" in that world. Although the actors are different from those in my own world, the plot and filming techniques are basically the same.

He Xiao didn't know why this happened, maybe it was a rare similarity between the two parallel time and space, maybe it was some other scientific phenomenon.

In short, the movie "Romance on Lushan Mountain" is really stored in the black phone, and relying on the black phone to strengthen the ability of memory, when He Xiao recalled it at this time, the plot of the whole movie can emerge in his mind.

That's why he was so excited, he wanted to see, relying on the textbook-like performance screen in the black phone, whether he could perform this scene well!

The recording of the show was suspended, He Xiao and An Miaoxuan went to change the clothes in the play, and the stage manager came up to set up the scene.

After 15 minutes, the recording process resumes.

A red curtain on the stage slowly opened to both sides, and the leading actor Geng Hua played by He Xiao appeared on the stage.

The movie "Love on Lushan Mountain" has a very important position in the history of Huaguo film. It was produced in 1980. As the first movie showing the theme of love in Xinhua Kingdom, it caused a sensation when it was released.

With this film, the heroine won four major awards: Golden Rooster Award, Hundred Flowers Award, Wenhui Award, and Zheng Fu Award, and became the hottest movie star in the early 80s.

The kiss scene in the film is even called--the first kiss on the screen in Xinhua Country!
This shows the status of this film in the film industry.

At this time, the classics reappeared, and the familiar soundtrack of "Love in Lushan" slowly sounded.

Under the enhanced memory ability of the black mobile phone, clips of Geng Hua, played by Guo Kaimin, learning English appeared in He Xiao's mind, and various picture details intertwined and radiated.

Finally, with a bang, it turned into fragments and melted into the whole brain.

He Xiao's eyes lit up, holding the book in his hand, and began to try to imitate Geng Hua's movements, his expression changed slightly, his brows were furrowed, as if he was recalling the pronunciation of English.

Then, feeling uncomfortable, he lowered his head and quickly glanced at the book, before closing it cruelly.

"I-love-my-motherland!"

When this extremely substandard broken English was uttered, the feeling of "Romance on Lushan Mountain" came out immediately.

In the guest seat next to it, those who didn't pay much attention to this performance were a little surprised at this moment.

Liao Yuan, the representative of the movie, sat up straight, with a serious look on his face for the first time.

He is a professional actor, graduated from Yanjing Film Academy, and is currently recognized as a powerful actor in the entertainment industry. He is known as the box office panacea, and the cumulative box office of the movies he has participated in has exceeded 30 billion.

A real big guy!
So when it comes to acting, he is definitely the most professional.

Originally, He Xiao was a small singer, but he hadn't paid much attention to it. He was even more prepared to treat this performance as a sketch, and it might not even be as good as a sketch.

Didn't expect much at all.

But at this moment, after He Xiao said "I-love-my-motherland", this contemptuous thought completely dissipated.

The degree of restoration of this scene is quite high, and he even added some details in it to make the performance look more real.

Could it be that he has studied acting?
This thought arose in Liao Yuan's mind, and he began to watch the stage closely.

At the same time, the corners of the other guests couldn't help but raise their mouths, feeling that this scene was not as boring as they imagined.

Guan Chengcheng dragged his cheeks and swept his beautiful eyes towards the stage. Looking at this boy who was about his own age, he felt curious.

"I-love-the-morning-of-my-motherland."

Holding the book in his hand, he looked towards the auditorium, frowning slightly, his movements and expressions were very similar to Geng Hua in the original film.

The audience was amazed.

At this moment, He Xiao's acting talent began to be gradually revealed!
