Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

The time soon came to the eighth day of the first lunar month.

At 8:30 in the morning, Chen Xiao drove to the company.

During the Spring Festival holiday, he sorted out the bilingual script and ideal scenes. The storyboard script has not been drawn yet, so he will take his time.

As for partners, when he attended the Venice Film Festival before, he exchanged business cards with many middle and senior executives of international companies.

After the live interview revealed that he was going to shoot an art film, many companies sent him invitations for cooperation.

He flipped through it and found a total of more than 40 companies, including companies from Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea, as well as companies in North America and other places.

His first choice was actually Chazelle, the talented director of Russian and American descent and the head of the Venice Film Festival jury.

Chazelle's situation is similar to his. He owns most of the shares in an entertainment company. He is a half-hands-off boss, but he has enough say.

Through the last contact and background investigation, we know that Chazelle was born in Country M, but has been in Country E for many years. He himself does not have a strong national stance. As he said, art is supreme.

There are fewer conflicts in stance when working with such people.

But the problem is... why didn't Chazelle send him an email?

Forget it, let's talk about this later.

I went to the company for something in the morning.

The company started training actors before the New Year. Today he plans to go out in person and give everyone a two-hour acting class to see where the actors' problems are.

While sorting out today's plans in his mind, he drove to the company's parking lot.

Taking the elevator to the second floor, Chen Xiao stood in the corridor and took out his mobile phone, ready to check the chat history to see if the training room was in the 20s.

As soon as he took it out, he heard the conversation between two girls in the tea room separated by a wall.

"Did you see the trending search? Li Mingyue is actually in our company."

"Ah? Is that true? I thought we only recruit actors with good acting skills."

"I saw her on the list of tonight's "Actors Please Come On Stage", and her company is our company."

"Ah? Isn't she just a vase? How did she get in?"

"Indeed, so now netizens are also ready to eat melons..."

Chen Xiao found the chat interface and saw that it was 203, so he didn't continue listening and walked towards the training room.

He had only heard of the name Li Mingyue, and he didn't even remember her face. She seemed to be a second-tier star.

Just a few steps away, he met the director of the artist management department.

"Mr. Chen, you are here."

There is no position of chairman in a sole proprietorship. Chen Xiao is the legal representative. To show respect, everyone in the company generally calls him "Mr. Chen" or "Director Chen".

Chen Xiao greeted him and continued to ask: "Minister Zhou, what's the situation with Li Mingyue? I heard that her acting skills are not very good." Minister Zhou nodded and explained: "Yes, she is indeed in our company, and her acting skills are indeed not very good. But she is outstanding in appearance, and usually plays supporting roles." "When we sign people, according to your requirements, we first consider character. There is nothing wrong with her character." "As for personality, her family has a little money, but her parents divorced early, and no one cares about her. She was bullied when she was in school, and she is a little introverted. Introversion is definitely not a problem." "The reason for signing is that, to put it bluntly, the entertainment industry also needs vases. Establishing a stable vase personality can also bring benefits to the company." "Then she will participate in an acting variety show tonight to brush up on the popularity. As long as she is humble, she will not bring bad things to the company, don't worry." Listening to Minister Zhou's explanation, Chen Xiao nodded. It's understandable. Personality is like labeling yourself, attracting the audience of this label, leaving an impression, and making it easier to stand out from the entertainment industry.

Like academic tyrant personality, foodie personality, sober personality, and straight-talking personality.

As long as she doesn't move her face, the vase personality is very stable.

"Is she here today?"

"Uh... I didn't notify her because she is positioned as a vase. I haven't seen her work hard on acting in all these years."

"OK."

The two walked towards the training room together.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw three girls including He Xu and one boy sitting at the table next to them.

When the four saw them come in, they quickly stood up and greeted them.

"You're welcome, sit down." Chen Xiao greeted them and glanced at the layout of the training room.

The training room is about 100 square meters.

On the wall opposite the door is a large mirror with a projection screen on the top, which can be put down if needed. There are 10 sets of tables and chairs on both sides, leaving a large open space in the middle.

As he was looking around, he heard

Minister Zhou was surprised and asked, "Mingyue, why are you here?"

"I, I didn't mean to come. I came here to accompany He Xu."

Chen Xiao looked back and saw a girl in her twenties sitting next to He Xu. She glanced at Minister Zhou and lowered her head with her eyes wandering.

Chen Xiao's eyes lit up.

This actor's eyes are so beautiful.

A pair of peach blossom eyes, big and bright

In the entire entertainment industry, it can also be ranked in the top few.

The moment he saw those eyes, a character popped up in Chen Xiao's mind-Truman's first love.

It's a pity that such beautiful eyes can't act?

Let's wait and see how bad it can be.

Just when he sighed.

He Xu turned around and pointed at Li Mingyue when she heard her voice, "Hey, me?"

Li Mingyue held her water cup, glanced at He Xu, and quickly looked away, "Yes, you just entered the entertainment industry not long ago, I guess you don't know other people, let me introduce you."

"Wow, Sister Mingyue, you are so nice."

Chen Xiao couldn't help but imitate her tone and complain in his heart.

Wow, you are so stupid.

Li Mingyue looked like she was here to take the class, and He Xu stared at her with admiration and gratitude. She really needs to fix her brain.

Everyone chatted for a few minutes.

At nine o'clock, the training officially started.

There were a total of 8 artists present.

The eight people were of different ages, experiences, and levels.

For example, He Xu had only acted in "Kung Fu" and had no basic knowledge as a freshman.

And the 27-year-old Li Mingyue had acted in many TV series.

There was also a male artist who just graduated from the acting major last year and was full of theories.

Facing such a group of people, Chen Xiao thought for a moment and set a teaching plan for today.

"You will each perform one or several of your best or most recent segments, with a total duration of no more than 3 minutes. Tell me the theme. I will score you based on the expression of lines, observation, attention, concentration, imagination, sensitivity, adaptability, expressiveness, and sense of reality. And I will help you correct the most problematic parts on the spot, and you can experience the rest yourself."

"When others perform, you should also pay attention, because you may have the same problems."

"I will give you 10 minutes to think about which segment to perform. I will not act with you. You can choose a segment that you will perform alone, or find someone else to act with you, okay?"

The eight people nodded.
