Nice to meet you! We are divided into a group again."
When Fang Jing was feeling depressed, Yan Yalun opened the door and walked in with a mean smile on his face.
"Why are you here? Doesn't Director Chen speak highly of you? He even praised you just now."
"It's bad! Don't mention it." Sitting on the sofa, Yan Yalun curled his lips, "It's okay if you don't praise me. I found out that whoever the director praises will be eliminated."
"hiss!"
The actors in the room breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this was really the case. The director was always praising the person before choosing him, but the result of the selection was the opposite. He would not choose the person he praised at all.
On the contrary, actors who were criticized for being worthless and crying and scolded were promoted successfully.
"It's really haha." Fang Jing was stunned for two seconds, then shook his head, "Forget it, whatever, I will vote for Lao Chen again in the group tomorrow. If he doesn't choose me, I will leave."
"Um?"
The people in the room became energetic and all their eyes were focused on Fang Jing. Didn't they get eliminated? Hearing this tone, there is still a chance to relax.
"Mr. Fang, please tell me some news." Yan Yalun touched Fang Jing's knee, "Lunch will be mine later."
"It's okay. Anyway, you will know tomorrow. Everyone does have one chance to choose. The actors who are promoted in the front are not necessarily safe. It is normal for them to be replaced every minute."
"There's really a chance. I'm ready to go home. Come on tomorrow!"
"Woooooo! If I do it again, I will never choose Brother Kai as director."
"If I had known, I would have directed Li Shaohong. Fortunately, I can do it again."
"Are you a little optimistic?" Fang Jing put down his mobile phone and looked at the group of people speechless. "Each director needs to recruit a team of seven people. What you have to do is to replace the actors hired by the previous director."
"This is much more difficult than this round just now."
A basin of cold water was poured down, and everyone looked at each other in shock, yes! The director had already chosen other actors before. There are more wolves than meat, so if you want to force your way into the team, you have to defeat the other team members.
Can it be easy for a person who has been eliminated to replace a person who has been promoted? I lost once before, but I can win again if I compete again?
More than twenty minutes later, another actor opened the door to the elimination room.
Wei Wei'an is still in her third year of Chinese Drama!
Known as the most spiritual actor!
Three directors chose her, but she insisted on staying in Zhao Wei's team. As a result, Zhao Wei didn't choose her, which was a tragedy.
It’s noon, it’s time for dinner, the recording takes a break, and the actors eat.
The eliminated ones ate in this room, and there were dishes on the table, all sent by the hotel. The director ate in the dedicated lounge, and the artists who had not yet performed were in another room.
"Mr. Fang, you are not panic at all!" Ying Haoming chatted while eating.
He came in earlier than Fang Jing. The director was obviously very optimistic about him, but he didn't choose him when it was time to choose him. It was very frustrating.
"There's no need to panic. I'll probably leave at the worst. Anyway, I don't lack for filming. What I lack is just an opportunity for guidance from a great director."
"Well, do you think I still have a chance to turn around?"
"You?" Fang Jing glanced at Ying Haoming and shook his head, "Hard!"
"Directors do not select actors based on their acting skills. They are looking for actors who are suitable for them. They are young, have acting skills, and have room for improvement. These are all requirements."
"Of course, not all directors look down on older people. According to my observation, there are many older people in Director Zhao Wei's group. She likes experienced actors."
Ying Haoming didn't say anything. Is it possible to go to Zhao Wei's group?
If there was no Fangjing, he would have wanted to give it a try, but in the current situation it would be better not to go, but if he did, he would be asking for trouble.
Listening to Fang Jing's explanation of the director's selection rules, the eliminated actors present were thoughtful. From this point of view, they were indeed not unjust.
At noon, after dinner, the actors in the elimination area were lying around. Some took a break to sleep, some played with their mobile phones, and some went out to smoke. It was quiet for a while.
Outside, the actors who have not yet appeared on stage are not so relaxed. They all feel as if they are facing a formidable enemy. They seize the time to memorize their lines and read the script.
Even Fang Jing was eliminated, how could they have any reason not to work hard?
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the recording started.
The first person to come up was Li Bin, who won the Best Newcomer at the Berlin Film Festival before he was twenty and was nominated for Best Actor twice.
In terms of acting skills, few people in this group can surpass him.
Honey! This is the clip he is going to perform. It tells the story of a couple who have lost their child and have been searching for it for many years without success. The man can’t bear it anymore and doesn’t want to look for it anymore.
Li Bin plays the male role, Jin Jing plays the female role, and they play the role of husband and wife.
"Director Guo, you will really arrange it for me when it comes to the best actor's duel." Jin Jing complained countless times before he even went on stage.
If we really can't arrange it for five years, we can do it with actors who are seven or eight years old.
Seriously speaking, Li Bin has been in the industry for nearly 20 years. He has played countless roles, large and small, and has his own views and styles on acting.
And she is just a variety show star who has just debuted a few years ago. She can act in sketches but has not acted in regular TV series a few times.
"If Li Bin loses this time, I will swallow this cup on the spot." Yan Yalun said while holding the drinking cup.
Fang Jing smiled and said, "Slow down a little, don't choke."
"Can you really be eliminated?" Wei Weian asked. Even Li Bin was eliminated. The director's thoughts are really unfathomable.
"The possibility is very high. This has nothing to do with acting skills. It is entirely a matter of personal style. Anyway, if I were the director, it would be difficult to assign a role to Li Bin."
It is no problem for veteran actors like Li Bin to play supporting roles in film and television dramas, or in other words, it is very good. Young actors are responsible for the flow, and they are responsible for embellishment and support of acting skills.
But it's a little inappropriate in this show. Each director has to recruit seven team members. When filming, everyone is the protagonist, so you can't favor one over the other.
What role can Li Bin play? It’s not easy to arrange at all.
"Praise be to Li Bin, this is his best performance so far, with no flaws."
After the performance, Brother Chen Kai was the first to comment, and he spoke highly of it. The actors in the elimination area laughed and came again.
Yan Yalun held the cup and sighed, poured a glass of water and drank. Fang Jing was right.
"Actually, Li Bin doesn't have to prove himself on this stage at all. During your performance, every turn and every muscle twitch on your face can show everyone that you are acting. You are a very good actor."
"This scene design is very interesting. The host and heroine's pain of losing their child, the entanglement after the pain, the powerlessness after searching for many years, the family has no money, and the inability to find another child are vividly expressed..."
Director, please stop talking! Li Bin's heart was filled with chills. He was obviously praising him, but he just couldn't laugh.
In front of them, Fang Jing and Yan Yalun were praised and eliminated.
"Hoo!" On the side, Guo Jingming cried with joy, tears welling up in his eyes. He helped direct the whole scene.
"Director Guo, what's going on? Staff, get some paper." Wang Han was the first person to notice Guo Jingming's emotions.
"It's okay, I'm just happy. I've never received approval or praise as a director. When I heard Director Kai Ge praise Li Bin and this scene, I felt that he was also praising me and recognizing me."
Good guy, why are you being trolled by people on the Internet? Why are you crying like this after hearing a few compliments?
But when you think about Wang Han’s ratings for the Little Times trilogy, you can understand. It’s the worst movie in history, the king of bad movies, a money trap, a rubbish director, and everyone scolds Guo Jingming.
