"Now I can really feel the desire of the three mentors for Ye Tao."
The host Basili continued to control the progress of the process and said: "And under our selection rules, in theory, only the first round of selection is completely fair to the three mentors, and no one has the right to be selected first!"
"This method of selection is actually unfair to the players." Zheng Yunlong, the most senior of the three instructors, said half dissatisfied and half joking:
"For example, if Ye Tao and Lin Xingyu both want to choose me, and I get Ye Tao in the first round, then Lin Xingyu won't have a chance to come to me in the second round!"
Lin Xingyu had starred in the second female lead in the hit movie directed by Zheng Yunlong three years ago, so in his opinion, with this cooperative relationship and his own fame and strength, if there are no restrictions on the rules, Lin Xingyu
Xing Yu would definitely want to join his group.
As for Ye Tao, who is currently the most favored by the three instructors, Zheng Yunlong is very confident that he will choose his group.
After all, in Zheng Yunlong's view, for a newcomer like Ye Tao, who would make his first appearance in an S-level variety show, he would be groomed by a great director like him. Only a fool would choose to refuse.
"Oh, Director Zheng!" Chen Quan, who was sitting on his left, immediately said in a semi-complimentary, semi-active tone: "You are already much better at directing than Mengyao and I. Without the restriction of these rules, Mengyao and I will
I’m afraid I won’t get any good actors!”
These words made Zheng Yunlong feel very comfortable, so he responded reciprocally: "Director Chen is really too modest. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Sooner or later, you and Mengyao will achieve greater things than me."
After that, I stopped mentioning the rules anymore!
"Look at how broad-minded and caring our director Zheng is." The host Basili immediately gave him a top hat, and then announced the official start of the "selection process" to avoid further complications.
"Then our first choice is Ye Tao, who received the highest score in the "Actor's First Impression" session. Let us all welcome him to the stage!"
The scene suddenly erupted into loud cheers and screams.
After Ye Tao walked onto the stage with a humble smile, he first bowed and thanked the three mentors:
"Thank you to the three instructors for giving me high marks in the last session!"
Then he stood there with a neither humble nor arrogant smile.
"Before raising the placard for Ye Tao, our three instructors will announce their respective plot excerpts for the next live broadcast."
"Since this episode is also the debut of the three mentors, the mentors can all choose the classic works they have directed as the debut of the next episode."
Having said this, Basili looked at Ye Tao meaningfully and said:
"Actually, before the program starts, the instructors have already prepared some excerpts as backup, and are planning to make a temporary decision on which two of them to use before the selection process officially begins."
"Just like Ye Tao, who is the most popular in the audience and the most favored by the instructors, whether the instructors can choose the excerpt that makes Ye Tao's heart first may also affect Ye Tao and others' judgment of the instructor's counter-selection!
"
Such words seemed to serve as a reminder to the three instructors on the stage. They all had rather troubled expressions, as if they were beginning to consider choosing a plot specifically for Ye Tao that was suitable for him, but it was not the plot that the instructor originally wanted to direct.
The two minutes of consideration time ended quickly, and then Zhou Mengyao, the most junior person in the field, presented it on the big screen.
In fact, each instructor provided 10 spare clips to the program team before the start of the program to prevent them from being played on the big screen in time during the film and television show.
The two excerpts chosen by Zhou Mengyao are from "Examination of Destiny" and "The Long Night" respectively.
Then the big screen began to play two of the plots respectively.
The plot of "Test Paper of Destiny" is that after the fifth comprehensive exam, the male protagonist Luo Fei feels that he can meet the requirement of a total score of more than 350 points in the five exams. Unexpectedly, the answer he thought was absolutely correct turned out to be wrong in this game world.
…
The plot of "The Long Night" is also the highest point of the entire script. After the heroine Su Ruoying was abducted by hunters to the small town of Chris, the male protagonist Luo Fei managed to solve the problem of Su Ruoying and crack the game level before the residents of the town held a "ceremony".
…
After the two videos were played, the host Basili concluded:
"Both of these works are classic works shot by director Zhou Mengyao."
"Moreover, these two works are adapted from the works of the same writer, which has left a deep impression on audiences who like this type of works!"
"However, the acting requirements of the male protagonist in the play are very high. I wonder if our Ye Tao can have the confidence to handle it?"
Next, excerpts from the plots of the other two mentors were played on the big screen.
Director Zheng's two excerpts are excerpts from big-budget movies. One is based on the martial arts film "Sea of Clouds" and the other is the war film "Heroes of Nagasaka".
They also tend to have male protagonists with more roles.
Director Chen Quan's selections include a fairy tale film called "The Flame of Cold Fire" and a college romance film called "Our Love in Those Years", both of which have equally important roles for the male and female protagonists.
After all the plot excerpts have been played, the host Pepsi will continue to move forward with the process:
"I wonder which of these six plots can impress our most handsome guy in the universe?"
"Or does he value his mentor more and only use the plot excerpts as a secondary reference?"
"Now let us see the unsuspicious selection results of the three mentors. Please choose to raise your placard "I want it" or give up raising your placard!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the county town suddenly remembered the tense atmosphere that suited the atmosphere at the moment.
However, there was no suspense at the instructor's table, and everyone made their choice quickly and neatly.
All three instructors unanimously chose to raise the sign "I want it"!
After the huge cheers from the scene, Basili hugged Ye Tao's shoulders affectionately on the stage and said:
"Sure enough, there is no suspense. It seems that the three mentors are determined to win you."
"Then according to the rules, it is now Ye Tao's counter-election time."
"You can choose one of these three mentors for you, and you can only choose one as your instructor for future performances."
"Of course, before that, our three mentors can all say one more words to impress Ye Tao."
Basili made a gesture pointing at Zheng Yunlong with the side of his palm.
"I am very optimistic about you, and I will definitely be your best choice!" Zheng Yunlong was limited by his prestige in the entertainment industry, so his tone could not be pleading, but he already seemed to be sincerely inviting.
The second person to speak was director Chen Quan. Since Ye Tao's acting teacher Xiao Siyuan had approached him in advance to put in good words for Ye Tao, Chen Quan had already implicitly agreed in his heart that Ye Tao would definitely choose him.
So his expression became more relaxed and he said enthusiastically: "You must know that choosing me is the best one, and I believe you will make the right choice!"
Chen Quan believed that Ye Tao would understand the profound meaning of these words.
