The person in charge gave the order, and the troops quickly gathered. Dong Xi stood on a high place and looked at the bustling scene of people in the audience, and his heart surged for a moment.

He couldn't help but raise his arms and shout: "Comrades, thank you for your hard work!"

………

The whole place was silent. Dong Xi was embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in, but he was very satisfied in his heart.

Don't deny it, that Chinese doesn't want to do this once?

"Ahem, I heard that everyone wants to play a positive role, which is understandable." Dong Xi coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, and then shouted with a loudspeaker.

"However, there are only so many positive roles, and it is impossible for everyone to play them. The instructor gave me this task, so I will choose the ones."

Although he knew that this matter was not easy to do, Dong Xi already had a specific plan in mind.

"For the sake of fairness, we don't look at height, appearance, qualifications or acting skills in this selection. What do we mainly look at?"

Dong Xi failed, and the audience really became commotion.

"If you don't look at looks, then what should you look at? This is the only face I have left in Bayuquan, Jacky Cheung!"

"Brother, is Jacky Cheung relying on his face?"

"I think it should be based on the eyes, the audience's eyes."

"Chen Xiaoer can only play bad guys, while Zhu Shimao can play positive roles. Isn't it just eye-catching?"

"Isn't that just a matter of face?"

Dong Xi stood on the stage with his hands behind his back, various noisy sounds coming from his ears, and a smile on his lips.

How to coax laymen is basically the basic operation of every profession. If you don't enter this door, you will never know what's inside.

Seeing that the discussion was almost complete, Dong Xi raised his loudspeaker: "Everyone, please be quiet."

Then the smile froze on his face because no one listened to him.

Fortunately, the instructor couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and shouted loudly: "What does it look like? Everyone is there, stand at attention... take a break!"

"Yes!" The soldiers immediately raised their chests and abdomen and looked forward, as if they were not the ones who had just turned this place into a vegetable market.

Seeing this, Dong Xi could only feel that he was indeed a soldier, and his ability to obey was very strong.

He picked up the speaker and continued: "The selection criterion is photogenic effect."

There was another commotion in the audience, but this time no one spoke, but looked at the instructor with probing eyes.

"Raise your hands to speak." The instructor nodded, and the audience immediately stretched out their dark arms.

Dong Xi nodded to a soldier brother in the front row, and he asked directly without any stage fright:

“Excuse me, what is photogenic?”

"Photogenic..." Dong Xi pondered for a moment, and then simply explained: "As the name suggests, it means being in front of the camera."

Seeing that the soldiers in the audience still didn't understand, Dong Xi continued: "For example, do you know Zeng Li?"

The soldier brother in the audience nodded. They were soldiers and they were not out of touch with the times. They still knew Zeng Li, the fourth child in Tsing Yi.

I don’t know how many people think of her as a goddess. After all, the dashing and heroic policewoman portrayed by Zeng Li in "Milk Tea Squad" has been a promotional poster for the police for a long time.

"Is she beautiful?" Dong Xi asked, holding up a loudspeaker.

"pretty!"

"Hahaha~"

Sure enough, there was a response from the audience, and then there was a burst of laughter. Although they are soldiers, they are still a group of young people after all.

The instructor next to him also laughed.

"She looks very beautiful in the camera, but how is she in reality? Have you seen her?" Dong Xi continued to ask.

"In reality? Isn't it ugly?"

"How can it be?"

"She is even more beautiful in real life!" Dong Xi said with a little pride in a deliberately long tone.

"Hey~" The soldiers had already adapted to Dong Xi's chatting style and began to hiss.

"Haha, this is a negative example. She is obviously more beautiful in person, but it doesn't show up in the camera. This is why she is not photogenic."

Dong Xi changed the topic and pointed to the instructor next to him: "Take our instructor as an example. In reality, he is gentle and elegant, with the demeanor of a Confucian general, but he may look a little greasy in the camera. Do you understand what I am saying?"

"Understood!" The soldiers responded loudly to Dong Xi, somewhat understanding what being on camera meant.

But the instructor next to him smiled bitterly and shook his hand: "Director Dong, please stop making fun of me."

"Sorry." After Dong Xi apologized, he continued to say to the audience: "So our selection criterion is photogenic."

"There were thousands of people at the scene, and we were divided into groups of 20, and then each group selected 2 to 3 people."

As Dong Xi finished speaking, the soldiers quickly took action and were quickly divided into hundreds of groups.

At this time, the cameras on standby began to faithfully record the images of each group member.

Although the workload is not small, Dong Xi is not required to do it at all. The assistant directors can complete this task.

Dong Xi accompanied the instructor to visit the army's station, especially the kitchen.

Although he now works for Dong Xi, he has to provide food for the troops himself, and the cooking squad is responsible for the logistics support for thousands of people.

It can also be regarded as a kind of outdoor training.

"It's really hard work." Looking at the simple temporary tent, Dong Xi said with some emotion.

"It's nothing hard, it's just like being a soldier. I've long been used to it!" The instructor didn't care.

Professional soldiers have never experienced any hardships. This kind of food and shelter is just a common occurrence.

"That's it. Director Dong has something I want to tell you." Seeing no one around, the instructor's face suddenly became serious.

"Say." Dong Xi also became serious.

"It's just about the issue of clothing. Some soldiers reacted to me because it was a bit too revealing..." the instructor stopped.

But Dong Xi immediately realized that the clothing of the Huns soldiers was based on the Spartan type in Dong Xi's mind, but he still had concerns.

There is not such a large area of ​​nudity just to prevent people from making a fuss about it.

But now it seems that Dong Xi still underestimated the degree of conservatism in this era.

"If it were an ordinary actor, it would be understandable to be exposed like this, but after all, it is a guest appearance by a soldier, and I am afraid that I will be attacked." Dong Xi nodded to express his understanding.

"Director Dong, you have to think carefully. Some people's pens are more dangerous than the guns in our hands!" When the instructor said this, Dong Xi also understood the other party's attitude.

I’m just not very optimistic about this style being accepted by Chinese people.

"I wonder what the higher-ups think of this?" Dong Xi asked cautiously.

He does not believe that this matter was not reported to the police, so the above opinion is crucial.

Dong Xi didn't want to be patted on the back. If someone received the order and walked away, the loss would be great.

"The higher authorities require us to cooperate with your work."

"I understand." Dong Xi nodded and bowed solemnly to the other party: "Then please help me!"

"No problem." The instructor also restrained his momentum and responded calmly.
Chapter completed!
