Huayu: What the heck is it that the actor gave me CS skills?

"Which one should I choose...?"

Yu Su stared at his phone, somewhat conflicted.

The Peace Hotel became a hit as soon as it aired, but the main focus of the attention was on Da Tou and Chen Shu.

At best, he might steal a male supporting role, and the only benefit he gets is a chance to show his face.

Even if the second season of Nirvana in Fire doesn't become a hit, as long as it gains the approval of Noon Sunshine, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Perhaps Yu Su was too conflicted, because Gao Zigang's assistant couldn't help but come over out of curiosity.

"What's Xiao Yu hesitating about?"

Yu Su took out her phone and handed it to him: "Which of these two dramas should I choose to act in?"

After reading it, the assistant pursed his lips tightly.

"Why don't we ask Director Gao?"

Yu Su shook his head: "I don't want to trouble my uncle."

The assistant was also quite speechless.

If you don't bother your uncle, do you think those two film crews will even bother with you?!

But he naturally didn't say those words. He opened his mouth again and again, but in the end, he still didn't know what to say.

"That's up to you. I'll go take care of my work now."

The assistant felt very constipated.

This reminded him of a classmate who took the college entrance exam with him years ago, who asked him which was better, Peking University or Tsinghua University.

The assistant didn't even have the desire to complain about this kind of problem.

You need to have real talent to brag; just bragging without substance is pointless.

"It really depends on me."

After thinking for a long time, Yu Su decided to find out the specific information about the two film crews first.

Yu Su decided to delegate some of these tasks to Lao Deng.

After all, Old Deng has a wide network of connections. Not to mention the actors, just the cameramen and lighting crew, he might run into someone he knows.

"You said you want to work on either of these two film crews?"

Wenjie is directing the scene, while Gao Zigang is in charge of the set design and setup for another storyline.

He happened to be free at the time, and when he learned of his nephew's idea, he was momentarily at a loss.

Yu Su nodded: "Just these two. I have high hopes for both of these dramas."

"..."

"How do we get in?"

"Isn't there you, Uncle?"

Yu Su made a joke, and Gao Zigang's fist hardened, but after thinking about it, he relaxed it.

It's good for a child to be ambitious, but when a child is too ambitious, the uncle can find it hard to keep up.

"Nirvana in Fire... let's skip that one."

Gao Zigang is self-aware.

Don't let his position as assistant director fool you; he mainly does the action choreography, and his actual professional skill level is only average.

If it weren't for Wenjie guiding him, he might not even be able to hold onto his position as assistant director.

What about the midday sun?

The people in this company are all industry leaders.

He's not the type to stage an accident.

"That leaves the Peace Hotel..."

Gao Zigang stared at the information on his phone, then thought for a moment and turned it off temporarily.

"I'll ask around for you when I get back tonight."

Gao Zigang actually contacted Yu Su for another drama, one that wasn't as big a production as Nirvana in Fire, but had a lot of screen time.

In some cases, he could be considered the seventh male lead.

For Yu Su, this is actually a very good starting point.

But since this was the first time Yu Su had taken the initiative to ask, he still wanted to understand the situation before making a decision.

Yu Su hummed in agreement; he wasn't in a hurry.

"Alright, go back to filming. Honing your acting skills is the real priority."

Gao Zigang patted him on the shoulder, his grip a bit too strong.

This made Yu Su suspect that he was taking the opportunity to vent his anger.

Unfortunately, he had no evidence and could only suffer in silence.

Yu Su has a scene today, which is still with Ren Yilun.

But Ren Yilun was acting opposite Ma Sichun in another scene, so all he could do was wait.

Wang Churan is also here, since it will be a scene with four people later.

Yu Su looked around and couldn't ignore Wang Churan, who was staring straight at him.

He walked straight over.

Wang Churan waited for him to get closer, then took out a small stool and handed it to him.

"What are you guys talking about?"

Yu Su gave a perfunctory reply: "There are some things."

"What is it?"

Why should kids worry about so much?

"..."

Wang Churan didn't speak, she just stared straight at him.

Yu Su sighed: "Regarding the role."

Wang Churan blinked her almond-shaped eyes, opened her mouth as if to speak, but then held back.

Seeing her like this, Yu Su comforted her, saying, "It's okay, I'm still young, I have plenty of opportunities."

"Could it be a problem with his acting skills?"

In fact, Wang Churan had subtly sent a message to Lü Haojiji last night.

Lü Haojiji put it very bluntly.

The gist is that Xiao Yu is a decent person, but his acting skills are terrible, and giving him resources is like throwing them into the water.

This is an extremely serious and insurmountable flaw.

Even though the four former members of EXO have returned, the current atmosphere is changing, and many production teams still value acting skills.

Moreover, Yu Su's acting skills in the past had already reached the level of an extra.

Therefore, it cannot be pushed.

Yu Su nodded in agreement: "That is indeed one of the reasons."

Although it's disheartening, even with over a decade of connections, Old Deng couldn't find a good role.

This was largely thanks to the original owner's previous reputation.

"Why don't you go and take some further studies?"

Wang Churan asked cautiously.

"Further studies?"

"Yeah, I heard from Uncle Gao that you just graduated not two years ago, so you could have taken the college entrance exam just like me."

Yu Su's academic performance will improve with a little more effort.

If he takes another training course to intensively improve his artistic skills, he actually has a chance of passing the exam.

"The National College Entrance Examination..."

Yu Su fell into deep thought.

He certainly can.

Yu Su hadn't thought of this before because he really didn't have much talent in art, and he had even considered changing careers.

But things are different now...

He's cheating!

Thinking of this, Yu Su's eyes suddenly lit up.

This is indeed a road!

He wasn't afraid of academic subjects; he just reviewed them.

In terms of artistry, if he completes his training in positioning, his acting skills will basically reach the level of a professionally trained actor on set.

They are even stronger than them in some aspects.

Because professionally trained actors use the theories taught in school to simulate roles by incorporating their own emotions.

Now, based on the system, he is enriching the characters, giving them basic motivations, and allowing the characters' emotions to be released.

This is a method used by veteran actors, which is a devastating blow to newcomers!

Yu Su was somewhat tempted by this.

How does Yu Su find roles now?

They either relied on Old Deng's connections or honed their acting skills through their own efforts and found opportunities to audition.

There's a problem here.

The resources Old Deng is giving him have reached their peak, and there's basically no future for him.

You can hone your acting skills by using your own special abilities, but what if others don't give you the opportunity?

When capital invests in film and television dramas, it's natural to promote one's own people.

There are plenty of good actors in the industry, why should we promote you?

Many veteran actors in later generations have no roles to play.

But if I get into the Shanghai Theatre Academy...

Even after you enter school, talent agencies will be watching you, and various film and television production teams will come to your school for auditions.

Brother Hu is his brother; if there's a chance, he might even get a referral.

The teacher might be a director, actor, or examiner in the industry...

There are tons of resources here.

If he feels it's a waste of time, he can even take a leave of absence after getting in, since what he wants is that prestigious degree.

Why is the entertainment industry called a "circle"?

Because major universities have already encompassed all mainstream resources.

What are these "Beijing Circle" and "Shanghai Circle"? Aren't they basically just divisions based on schools?

The most direct example is the film crew of "The General".

Many of the main actors that Yu Su worked with were from the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

Wang Churan...this is the future.

Wang Xuan, this is my senior.

Zhang Zhishu...this is a useless senior.

Zhang Zhishu was an exception; he had his role snatched away by Lao Deng.

The problem is that Old Deng has been working his way up to assistant director for so many years, and he has already lost all his dignity for such a small role.

Even after Zhang Zhishu left, people could still easily get roles like that.

What about Yu Su?

Nobody recognizes him when he goes out!

This is the difference!
