It turns out that Mu Anran called Xia Ruo this time to arrange for Ye Tao to participate in a variety show called "A New Beginning for Actors" next Saturday.
This program will invite artists in the age group of 20-40 to perform live performances according to the aired episodes arranged by the program team in each issue.
After the performance, three instructors and 500 live audiences, plus online audiences, will vote.
There is no upper limit on the score. The sum of the accumulated scores of all actors in the first three rounds is the total score of the preliminaries.
Those with the highest scores will advance to the final stage for the final competition!
"But I can't act!" Ye Tao, who had absolutely no experience in this field, found it difficult to accept that he would be participating in such a program so soon.
"it does not matter!"
Xia Ruo was not worried about this and encouraged Ye Tao: "This show is an S-level variety show. As a newcomer, it is a great success if you can show your face."
While continuing to jog with Ye Tao, she asked him to let go of the pressure and said:
"Mr. Mu said that the program team will divide the artists into three age groups: 20, 30, and 40 years old."
"When the time comes, let experienced actors from other age groups guide you well, and with the overall control of a famous director, you will definitely perform well."
"Besides, even if you don't perform that well by then, given your age and acting experience, the instructors and the audience won't be too harsh on you."
"As for the online audience, on the one hand, they will have lower requirements for you, but more importantly, don't you still have this face?"
Ye Tao did not expect that Xia Ruo would suddenly talk about his appearance at this time.
He smiled wryly and shook his head. Regarding this type of program, his evaluation of the online audience could not be clearer.
After all, he had been an online viewer for a long time before.
It is possible to get more votes from online viewers with this handsome face.
However, most of the sources of these votes will definitely come from girls who like his face.
As for the male audience part, he felt that he could get more votes without even thinking about it.
Words like "she looks so girly", "her face is prettier than that of an actress", "has no masculinity at all", etc. will definitely be indispensable when the time comes.
Ye Tao once watched a movie. All the special effects were very good. Although the actor's acting skills were not outstanding, they were quite satisfactory. However, the character was criticized for not having his hair cut off.
In addition, there is a wave of people who like to follow others' opinions, and when they see the direction of the heavy pedaling, they all follow the heavy pedaling like a vent.
Even if they have never seen this movie, as long as they are talking about it, they will be excited enough to follow suit!
Ye Tao didn't know whether these experiences would happen to him in the future.
However, he did not tell Xia Ruo all his worries because he did not want to show his psychological vulnerability in front of his exclusive assistant.
In short, according to the artist contract Ye Tao signed with Mu Anran before, he cannot refuse the reasonable work schedule arranged by the company for him without reason.
Moreover, although the basic salary of five million can provide Ye Tao with strong protection, he still wants to make as much money as possible for the company during the contract period, and the minimum standard must exceed the company's investment in him.
"Although I have this handsome face, if I really participate in the show, I still can't just rely on it!"
Ye Tao, who thought this way, went back after running and started watching some variety shows that tested his acting skills.
Due to the lack of running exercise for a long time, although Xia Ruo had already claimed that he had reduced the amount of exercise considering it was the first day, Ye Tao, who had endured for the sake of face, still lay on the bed when he was the only one left in the room.
I gasped for air while looking at my phone.
He was too tired to even get up and pour himself a glass of water.
Xia Ruo has already gone back to her residence to rearrange Ye Tao's recent training plan based on the new variety show.
She was going to apply to the company to hire an acting teacher for Ye Tao to lay some foundation before recording the program.
Although she seemed very relaxed when encouraging Ye Tao, she was still very serious about what she would do to be better for her artists.
"If you want to perform live, you will be voted on by the online audience!"
Similar programs currently playing on Ye Tao's mobile phone are all in recorded form, and the voting is done by the instructor's live audience.
This model is relatively more controllable for both the program team and the artists.
Even if the artist really performs abnormally on the spot, because it is a recording, the program team can pause the show in time for major mistakes, and even re-record a short section.
However, if the network is used for simultaneous live broadcast, the artist's performance will be presented to the audience completely without protection.
Ye Tao can even imagine now, let alone the question of whether his acting skills are good or not, what's even worse is that once he is so nervous that he forgets his words, he will be emotionally shattered by the embarrassment on the stage.
By then, he may become a laughing stock in the entire entertainment industry because of that live broadcast.
In that case, even if he is really "invincible and super handsome", he may not be able to restore his image in the entertainment industry!
"Or maybe the reason why Mu Anran suddenly arranged such a program for me is because I acted like that in her office yesterday, so she deliberately put me on such a program to tease me!"
Although Mu Anran was the president of a large company before, Ye Tao still tried hard to maintain his dignity in front of her.
Especially after that night, even though they had already done things that should happen between lovers, Mu Anran still said resolutely that she would never become his girlfriend.
"Why is she so decisive?"
"Excluding the issue of my appearance, there was no conflict that made her particularly angry during our relationship."
"The only thing left is wealth and status!"
The more Ye Tao thought about it, the more he felt that his analysis was correct.
"Who says extremely rich girls don't care about money?"
"They tend to value more money!"
Thinking of Mu Anran's current net worth, Ye Tao felt that even if he became a first-line star in the entertainment industry and worked hard for a hundred years, he still wouldn't be able to match it, and he felt very powerless!
"Why is this happening?"
"I'm a cheater favored by the system!"
"Shouldn't the normal script be that a wealthy female CEO with hundreds of billions of assets falls in love with me uncontrollably as soon as she sees me?"
"Even though I'm just a poor student, she still doesn't care. She ignores any worldly opinions. She can't drive me away no matter how hard I try. Do you have to marry me?"
Ye Tao, who saw the ruthless gap between reality and the content of film and television dramas, immediately tried to make up for his dignity in his heart:
"Of course, I don't think so because I want to take advantage of the female CEO."
"Even if she marries me, I won't spend her money wantonly."
"I just think she is too sensible, so sensible that she can even resist the charm of a cheat on my face."
After much deliberation, he opened his phone's address book.
He wanted to call Mu Anran and ask her to change him to a program that he could handle based on his current abilities.
He firmly believed that this was not a loss of face, it was just a practical and reasonable opinion to the company boss.
