In the evening, in the large studio for stage performances, students left the backstage one after another and went to the studio in the dormitory building to wait for the results.
When the last audience member leaves from the exit, it marks the end of the fourth semi-final stage of "I Am an Actor".
At Hong Tao's signal, a member of the directing team announced: "On January 28, 2007, at 7:13 pm, the stage recording of the semi-finals of the 10th phase of "I Am an Actor" ended!"
Hearing this, the staff at various positions were working in various positions, moving stage props in various directions, turning off hand-held cameras, detaching the camera's ground slide rails, or turning the panoramic boom camera in mid-air to return to the original position.
Under the operation of the lighting engineer, it also dimmed and returned to normal incandescent light.
A scene of a group of people starting to finish work in an orderly manner.
"Director Hong, Mr. Long, this is the voting data." The assistant director who was monitoring the voting data ran over and presented a printed document to the two of them.
Hong Tao and Long Danni took a look at the document respectively. When they saw the voting rankings of the contestants, they both raised their eyebrows and looked at each other. Obviously, this data was not simple.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli and Wang Jinhua stood up from their seats in the guest seats. The young couple met with the eight judges and teachers, and prepared to go to the studio in the dormitory building to announce the results. This was also their normal behavior after the previous stages.
Liu Xiaoli and Wang Jinhua said hello to them, and then walked together from the audience passage, preparing to go to the office in the office building, waiting for the two children to finish their recording work before going home together.
The eight judges and teachers walked in front, followed by the young couple.
As Liu Yifei walked side by side with Chu Xuan, she stretched out her hands to hold her hair tied into a ponytail behind her head, took out the rubber hairband with a black bow from her hair, and put it on her right wrist.
She shook her head, and her black hair swayed from side to side, letting her unfettered hair fall beautifully on her shoulders: "So soon, it's the finals."
Chu Xuan nodded and stretched out his left hand to grab Liu Yifei's shoulder. Liu Yifei also stretched out her left hand and took Chu Xuan's hand that fell from her shoulder. The two of them walked towards the guest passage in the studio.
Walking.
After cooperating with the promotion of "Struggle" and "Zhu Xian", they stayed in the variety show park to record the program for several days.
The third phase of the program ended only half a month ago, and now the recording of the fourth phase has ended only half a month ago.
After recording several stages of the program, the program team has obviously gained considerable experience, and the operating efficiency of each department has indeed improved a lot.
This is also related to the fact that the later the program is recorded, the fewer the number of students will be.
With fewer people, more human and material resources are concentrated on a few people, which is one of the reasons why recording efficiency has been significantly improved.
In the past few days during the recording of the program, Liu Yifei also changed the office location for making ppts to the park office for convenience.
When they needed to cooperate in recording, the two of them went to record the program. When they had a break, Chu Xuan accompanied her to the office to make ppts.
Over the past few days, the recording of the program has gone smoothly, and the production of the ppt has also come to an end and is about to be completed.
"Teachers." Hong Tao's voice came from the side. He and Long Danni came over and handed over a document: "Look at the results."
The young couple and the eight judges and teachers stopped. Looking at Hong Tao's behavior as if he came specially to deliver the results, it was not difficult to guess that today's results might be a bit unexpected.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei walked forward quickly, formed a circle with the teachers, and looked at the data file that Zhang Jizhong reached out to take from Hong Tao.
"How come Lei Jiayin, Chen Chuang, and Zhang Luyi were all eliminated?" Yang Ziqiong said incredulously. Her Mandarin is a bit unusual and has a strong Cantonese flavor, which sounds very interesting.
Teachers such as Chen Daoming, Zhang Guoli and Deng Jie also frowned. This result was also beyond their expectations.
Hong Tao and Long Danni were silent. When they first got the result, they were also surprised, but just a little bit surprised. This result surprised them but was within their expectations.
In order to make the recording of the program convenient, stable and orderly, the 300 viewers and 20 media judges invited are basically the same people for each episode.
In the first few stages, these people are unfamiliar with the perceptions of most students.
Also because they are strangers, the aesthetics of these people are relatively fair to the students, and are based on their strength.
It’s just that as the recording of the program progresses, the audience and judges become more and more familiar with the students’ situations.
Then at this time, different aesthetic preferences come into play, and strength is no longer the criterion.
Just like "Supergirl", the audience gradually likes different contestants due to their performance on stage, and then in the subsequent stage performances, regardless of whether the favorite contestant performs well or not, I'm looking for you anyway.
The vote is only for you.
Although the program types of "I Am an Actor" and "Supergirl" are different, they are essentially both auditions. Since they are essentially the same, the two programs will naturally follow the same direction later on.
"This shouldn't be the result." Chen Daoming frowned and shook his head. He pointed at the list in Zhang Jizhong's hand: "A few good ones were eliminated, and a few bad ones were promoted..."
As he said that, he added: "I'm not talking about the difference between the ones who advanced, but compared to the ones who were eliminated, there is indeed a gap in their strength, and none of them were bad on today's stage."
He waved his hands in dissatisfaction: "I'm not satisfied with this result."
In terms of actors, film, television, and stage arts, Chen Daoming is very direct. If something is good, it is good, and if something is bad, it is bad. This is also his character when it comes to matters in this area. He has always been outspoken.
Although Zhang Guoli, Yang Ziqiong and other teachers remained calm, it seemed that their thoughts were on Chen Daoming's side. Deng Jie raised her eyebrows and said to Hong Tao and Long Danni: "Can...
"
Deng Jie only said half of what she said, but the meaning was obvious: Can it be done secretly?
Among the eight judges, except for Li Shaohong and student Yang Mi, who are related by the boss and the artist, the rest of the judges are not related to the students.
Therefore, they all view these participating students with equal eyes.
From an equal perspective, for powerful actors and well-known directors like them, whoever is more powerful will naturally be more favored by them.
Watching Lei Jiayin, the strongest among the students, Chen Chuang and Zhang Luyi step by step to reach today, they are only one step away from successfully "graduating", but they did not expect to be eliminated, and they were eliminated by people who were weaker than them. .
This surprised them and made them very sad.
And after entering the semi-finals, their judges lose the right to recommend. Whether the contestants advance or not depends entirely on the votes of the audience and judges.
Unlike the previous stages, after Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei announced the results of the first round of promotion, they still had the promotion quota in their hands.
Therefore, seeing these three strong players being eliminated, they wanted to make amends.
Hong Tao and Long Danni heard what Deng Jie had not finished and understood what she meant.
Long Danni opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Zhang Jizhong beat him to it.
"This result seems normal to me." Zhang Jizhong looked at Chen Daoming and the others.
Hearing what he said, Chen Daoming and the others frowned again.
Zhang Jizhong smiled lightly: "Bai Li, Yang Rui, and Yang Mi are three different types of beauties. Hu Ge is the most handsome among the male players."
"Since the airing of the Qiong Yao dramas "Huan Zhuge Ge" and "Love in the Rain" until now, haven't the audiences in the film and television market paid more and more attention to beautiful women and handsome men?"
"Judging from this phenomenon, compared to Lei Jiayin, Zhang Luyi, and Chen Chuang, they are not ugly, but they are not handsome either. This voting result is very normal."
He continued: "And among the four people who advanced, the ratio of men to women is one to three. In our country's entertainment industry, under the influence of the audience's aesthetics, women are more popular than men. This is a situation that has not changed in decades. , from this point of view, the voting result is normal."
He lowered his head and looked at the list again: "Among the rankings of the four, Bai Li and Yang Rui are in the top two, Hu Ge is third, and Yang Mi is fourth. Bai Li and Yang Rui have always had very good acting skills. This ranking also shows that the audience I still like actors with good acting skills, but I have to look at their looks first and then their acting skills."
Zhang Jizhong glanced at the crowd and said with a smile: "This is the trend of the entertainment market in this era, so this result is normal."
Hearing Zhang Jizhong's well-founded analysis, the judges couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other. They did not expect that Zhang Jizhong relied on a ranking to analyze the entire market. They found it very interesting.
"Producer Zhang Da understands the market." Chen Kaige smiled slightly, affirmed Zhang Jizhong, and said: "Starting from "The Swordsman", and then to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Dragon", the main actors hired are all different. They were all handsome men and beautiful women. Even if the audience at that time said that the story was not good, no one said that the actors hired were not good. This proves that the analysis of Producer Zhang is correct."
Everyone listened and had no objections in their hearts. Zhang Jizhong's analysis was indeed true. In fact, from the very beginning of the development of the television industry in the 1970s, the casting crew had been based on the actor's appearance, but back then it was not nearly as important as it is now.
"This is the audience's choice. I think we should respect it." Chen Kaige suggested, adding: "They have been very successful in reaching this point. They will have everything they should have after the show is broadcast."
The industry insiders who come to watch the show and serve as commentators are more or less connected to entertainment companies or brokerage companies.
These people have watched many students' performances and judge the students' potential based on their own experiences.
With good potential, through their private communication, agents have been coming to contact these students one after another in the past few days. However, the program has not yet been broadcast, and the effect of the broadcast has not been seen. Currently, they are only paying attention to the students.
As long as the ratings of the program are acceptable and the students have a certain popularity base, then there will definitely be the necessary contracts, resources and business, not to mention, but after the program is broadcast, the living environment of these students will definitely be better than their previous environment.
Hearing Chen Kaige's words, Chen Daoming frowned and remained silent. Being good-looking was not a concern for him. The direction of the market trend had nothing to do with him. He just wanted to do what he thought in his heart.
Perhaps Zhang Jizhong's analysis was correct and there was nothing wrong with this result from a market perspective, but he still didn't quite agree with it.
The other judges and teachers looked at Chen Daoming, waiting for his reply.
Chen Daoming seemed to be in a tangle and kept silent.
It stands to reason that since the other judges have no objections and Chen Daoxi nods, the matter will be over. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is something that does not need to be entangled at all.
But for Chen Daoming, who has a very firm concept of art, he had just raised doubts about the results, and now he was asked to deny his doubts. This was a rather embarrassing situation.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei glanced at Chen Daoming's face and understood his situation.
Liu Yifei kept holding Chu Xuan's hand that fell from her shoulder. She made a difficult move in reverse and clasping fingers with Chu Xuan's hand: "How about this. The important thing about this show is not the ranking, but the ranking.
Give actors the opportunity to show themselves on stage, and the stage and camera are the most important."
"Although Lei Jiayin and the others were eliminated, we can let them return to participate in the finals as supporting guests for Yang Rui and Bai Zhi."
"In this way, although they will not be counted in the final ranking, they will still have the opportunity to perform on the last stage, and the teachers will not have to feel pity."
After reaching the next step, Chen Daoming's eyes brightened slightly and he nodded: "This is a good idea."
He looked at everyone, and the judges and teachers looked at Liu Yifei, nodded slightly, and then all looked at Hong Tao and Long Danni.
Long Dan Ni Xiao glanced at Liu Yifei. Although this voting result was expected in her and Hong Tao's eyes, it was unexpected in the eyes of these judges.
Her prediction was correct. Chen Daoming and Zhang Guoli questioned the voting results.
This is why she and Hong Tao showed the results to the judges as soon as they got them. They were afraid that the inherent ideas of these judges would conflict with the current business market. They questioned them on the spot in front of the students during the recording. This might
It will cause a very embarrassing situation.
Resolving any conflicts that may arise is the best thing to do.
But Chen Daoming and Deng Jie were unwilling to change their rankings.
Elimination and promotion are selected by the audience and the media. The 300 audience members include people of all ages. The media judges are all representative major media in the country. Such a voting group is representative of the national major media to a certain extent.
The aesthetics of some viewers.
In other words, this voting result is something that most viewers across the country are happy to see.
A program requires the audience to provide ratings. If the ratings are to maintain a benign curve, the program must present something that the audience is happy to see.
Looking at the voting results from the perspective of ratings, although she felt sorry for Lei Jiayin and the others being eliminated, that was all, and she had no intention of changing the results.
Who is promoted and who is eliminated has nothing to do with her. As long as there are topics and ratings, in her opinion, it doesn't matter if she praises someone who has no acting skills.
But Chen Daoming and the others were too popular, and she didn't know how to convince them just now.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei noticed the deadlock between them and came up with an idea to get the best of both worlds and solve the problem.
Long Danni looked at Liu Yifei with a smile on her face and praised her in her heart.
Then, she said to everyone: "Okay, let's do it like this. We will wait for Chu Xuan and Qian Qian to talk about it later. And since we want Lei Jiayin and the others to return, let's add Tang Yan by the way. Otherwise, four people and three people will be eliminated."
During the encore, another person was not present. This situation may have a bad impact after the program is broadcast."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei nodded to the judges and teachers. It must be Long Danni, a professional in program planning, who has considered this aspect comprehensively.
In this way, a small situation caused by the voting results of the semi-finals was successfully solved with the method Liu Yifei came up with.
The group of people came to the studio of the dormitory building with such a result. When Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei announced the list of candidates for the finals, the eight students, whether they were promoted or eliminated, did not have too many emotions.
Lei Jiayin, Chen Chuang, Zhang Luyi, Tang Yan were eliminated.
Yang Rui, Bai Li, Hu Ge, Yang Mi advance.
The four people who advanced were incredible at first, but the four people who were eliminated were a little bit regretful.
But just a short moment passed. The four people who were promoted did not look happy, and the four people who were eliminated no longer regretted it. These eight good friends who had worked together in the past few months just looked at each other.
They didn't speak for a while, they all smiled.
"Come on." Lei Jiayin drank pure milk with her eyes free of any distracting thoughts, acting very free and easy.
"Come on." Chen Chuang encouraged. With his senior status and "clown" face, he was very satisfied to be able to reach this point in competition with a group of young handsome guys and beauties.
"Come on." Zhang Luyi smiled brightly, just like the sunny boy who jumped up and down on weekdays.
In the past, there were only a few dozen people in the audience when performing on the drama stage, but there were hundreds of people in the audience when performing on this stage. Although it was a pity to be eliminated, he regretted that he could not continue to perform on this stage.
"Come on." Tang Yan smiled sweetly, waving her fists playfully and cutely to cheer up her friends.
She came to this show with the intention of looking for opportunities, but as soon as she came she discovered that friends with enviable skills and solid basic acting skills could be seen everywhere around her.
This made her lose some confidence in whether she could continue on the show smoothly, but when groups of friends left one after another, she took one step after another. At that time, people from the program team told her that the audience liked
An artist of her type has great potential in terms of commercial value, so let her study hard and practice hard.
After getting this result, her purpose of trying to participate in this program was achieved. Although it was a pity that she could not enter the finals, she got the result about her future future. She was far more happy than sorry and was full of expectations for her future career.
Hope.
None of the four people who were eliminated showed any regrets, making the atmosphere at the scene not as sentimental as at this moment in the previous stages.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were relieved and happy to see this scene. After all, being eliminated from the show was nothing. The person who controls their own destiny is always themselves, not a program.
They took the finals script card from the staff, but Lei Jiayin stood up when he saw this scene.
"What for?" Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows.
"Let's go, I'm eliminated." Lei Jiayin said matter-of-factly.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei raised their lips slightly, Chu Xuan said: "Who let you go?"
Lei Jiayin was a little confused: "Isn't it always like this before?"
Liu Yifei showed her face, raised her hand and pressed down: "Sit down, it's not over yet."
Not over yet?... Lei Jiayin was confused, and everyone was also confused, and looked at Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei curiously.
The next moment, when they heard that the four eliminated in the finals were returning guests or assistants of the four promoted, the atmosphere immediately became cheerful.
"Brother Chuang! Come and help me! Take me to fly!" Hu Ge said happily.
"Tang Tang, come on, let's fight side by side." Yang Mi happily waved to Tang Yan.
"Zhang Houhou, let's act opposite each other!" Yang Rui said with a smile to Zhang Luyi.
Bai Li elegantly reached out and smoothed her hair on her shoulders, then turned her head and looked at Lei Jiayin: "Are we the only ones left?"
Lei Jiayin crossed his legs, holding milk with a straw in his mouth and drinking: "After one meal, I will help you win the championship."
Bai Li blinked, his face blooming: "Deal."
From former opponents to current teammates, the regret of being eliminated was eliminated, and the tension before the finals was weakened. The atmosphere was filled with harmony and happiness.
Seeing this scene, Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and the judges and teachers showed gentle smiles.
In a highly competitive show, this may be the first season to have such a warm and friendly scene.
When this season's program is aired, the students have gained fame and fortune, and the nature of the program in the second season will definitely change.
This scene may be very precious for Hu Ge and others to recall in the future.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei briefly announced the format of the finals, and then presided over the grouping session between them and the four judging panels.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the recording was over, and the young couple was ready to call it a day and go home.
"Xuan Zai."
As I was going down the stairs, a call came.
Chu Xuan was startled. Except for Brother Chenglong and his acquaintances in Xiangjiang, no one in the mainland called him "Xuan Zai".
He and Liu Yifei looked back and felt relieved when they realized it was director Tang Jili.
"Director Tang." Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei greeted.
Tang Jili quickened his pace a little and went downstairs side by side with the young couple: "I chatted with Chenglong on the phone a few days ago. I heard that Chenglong said that he wanted to make a movie with you again, so he asked me to find him during this time.
Find creative inspiration.”
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei smiled slightly, and Chu Xuan said: "What do you think, Director Tang?"
After going downstairs, Tang Jili turned the corner and continued downstairs with the young couple: "Chenglong said he wanted to make comedy actions and return to his old career, but with your participation, he felt that his old career might be refilled with new wine.
Produce different chemical effects.”
"But I think Chenglong's comedy action elements are the main reason why audiences feel visual fatigue from his works."
"Chenglong also wants to rely on comedy action to give his global movie fans an answer sheet that "Chenglong can also make international blockbusters." I think the probability of success is very low."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei listened. They couldn't say much about this topic. Tang Jili and Chenglong were golden partners who had worked together for decades. Since he said this, he must have his own reasons and ideas.
Tang Jili changed the topic and said: "Chenglong asked me to think of ideas, and I actually came up with a preliminary idea from you."
"What?" Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were curious.
Going down another floor, Tang Jili stepped around the corner and said: "Brilliant Era has experience in producing science fiction. Although it is a micro-movie, its experience in shooting science fiction and producing science fiction special effects is the only one in China, and you guys
Both of them also have experience in science fiction."
"And Chenglong is a master of action movies, and his action design and scene design abilities are top-notch."
"Then let's combine it and make a science fiction action film. Can we create more intense sparks?"
"Science fiction action?" Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei said with smiles. They didn't expect that Tang Jili would find science fiction inspiration from "Hope" and wanted them to make a science fiction action movie with Cheng Long.
They have only shot science fiction, not action.
Cheng Long has only done action movies, not science fiction.
This association ability is worthy of being an international leader. When you think about it combined, it is really creative.
The three of them went downstairs and walked out of the corridor. The cold wind of two degrees below zero blew, making them so cold that they couldn't help but squint their eyes.
"Chenglong won't have any scenes during the Chinese New Year. He will return to Xiangjiang and come to the capital after the New Year party. Then we will have a preliminary discussion together."
"good."
The two sides said goodbye, Tang Jili walked in the direction of the parking lot, and Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei walked in the opposite direction of the office building.
An office in an office building is filled with heating.
Liu Xiaoli is sitting in front of a computer, and the computer screen displays the ppt software page.
Wang Jinhua sat next to her, and the two sisters were cracking melon seeds and chatting.
When the young couple opened the door and came in, Liu Yifei went straight to the computer: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, we have the last few pages to finish."
Seeing her daughter's anxious look, Liu Xiaoli stood up and gave up her seat. She and Chu Xuan each took a chair from the desk next to them and sat down.
Wang Jinhua tapped Erlang's leg, chewed a melon seed and threw the shell into the trash can: "The Chinese New Year is on February 17th. If all goes well, the finals will be recorded before the year. The recording will start in November and last for three and a half months. It is estimated that
Within the scope, it went quite smoothly.”
Liu Xiaoli stretched out her hand, which was full of melon seeds.
Chu Xuan took a small handful from her hand and said: "You need money, you need human resources, you need human resources, the core service channel resource channel company itself has it, and the domestic large-scale variety show market has just started. Don't use it."
Considering competition issues, it will naturally go smoothly under such circumstances."
Wang Jinhua nodded, ate the last melon seed in his hand, and patted the residue on the handle with both hands: "The company's annual meeting will start tomorrow afternoon. There will be a meeting on the company's annual summary and this year's planning in the morning. You guys should come early tomorrow.
"
Chu Xuan nodded while eating melon seeds: "Okay."
They chatted for a few minutes, and Liu Yifei was hard at work, minding her own business making ppts.
After a while, Liu Yifei turned her back to them and heard a cheerful voice: "It's done!!"
"Done?" Wang Jinhua stood up and turned around to come behind Liu Yifei, holding the back of the chair with both hands and looking at the computer screen.
Chu Xuan came over eating melon seeds, looked at the ppt and said: "I'll take a look at it in the next two days and think about how to coordinate my plan with the content of the ppt. If there is no problem, I will contact the bosses of the three web game companies.
, determine the time for their arrival in Beijing, and try to implement the investment plan before Sissi goes to the United States."
Wang Jinhua bowed slightly, put her hands from behind Liu Yifei's head to her cheeks and pinched her: "Sissi, Chu Xuan thinks of you everywhere, how did you let him do this?"
This sudden ridicule made Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli all laugh.
Liu Yifei turned her head and smiled: "Because I am thinking about him everywhere."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Wang Jinhua couldn't help but shake his head, and ate a lot of dog food from these two guys.
"Let's go." Liu Xiaoli picked up the bag and put it on her right shoulder.
Wang Jinhua turned around and walked away, picked up her bag from the chair and prepared to leave.
Liu Yifei saved the ppt into a USB flash drive, took out the USB flash drive from the host computer and put it into a small backpack. She slung the small backpack on her right shoulder, pinched the strap of the backpack on her right shoulder with her right hand, and held Chu Xuan's hand with her left hand: "Let's go.
Bar."
The family came to the parking lot of the park talking and laughing, and Chu Xuan drove the car to catch the family on their way home.
