However, although this Shen Teng subverted Zuo Le's perception of the martial arts school's elite, apart from his appearance, his own abilities are still quite outstanding.
First of all, he has solid acting skills and rich acting experience.
According to Shen Teng's self-introduction, he has been participating in the school's drama club since he was a sophomore. He was a pillar of the drama club in his junior year and often led the Military Arts Drama Club to participate in college student drama competitions.
And once in a large-scale drama competition, he was the first starring in a drama, which beat the drama clubs of the three major domestic art schools, National Opera, Beijing Film Academy, and Magic Theater, and won the championship, shocking the entire drama industry.
Of course, Shen Teng's statement may be a bit exaggerated.
But then again, the strength of the three major art schools is here. They often win all the major awards in domestic art school student competitions. Shen Teng can lead the team to win the championship from these three art school overlords, which is indeed worthy of special mention. Ichiban.
In addition to defeating three major art schools and winning the second championship, Shen Teng also had another great achievement in military arts, which was serving as the first male lead in their graduation drama.
At relatively well-known art schools in China, fresh graduates not only have to defend their thesis, but also generally have to produce a graduation work.
Behind-the-scenes departments such as directors, screenwriters, and photographers usually collaborate to produce a short film or skit. Dance and vocal music include vocal performances and large-scale group dances, while the acting department mainly performs rehearsal plays, which are the so-called graduation dramas.
Because this graduation drama was performed by all the acting students of that year, and it was also the finale performance of their four-year school career, it held a very important place in the hearts of the acting students of that year.
Those who can play the leading role in the graduation drama are all recognized as the best classmates by the acting students of that year.
Many young celebrities who became popular during their college years, no matter how famous they were outside, could only play small roles in most of their graduation dramas.
In addition to not having time to come to school to rehearse, another major reason is that the acting skills are not good enough to hold down the students of the same class, and the graduation drama instructors do not care about these so-called popular celebrities.
Therefore, nowadays, there are many gossips about current students who are popular in the entertainment industry. Very few of them are related to graduation dramas. Even if they are, if you look closely at their roles in the dramas, most of them are walk-ons.
On the contrary, those who are revealed to be able to play major roles in graduation dramas are almost all new acting stars that the public is optimistic about.
In the past two years, as the fandom culture has become more and more popular, many fans have also understood the importance of graduation dramas. Therefore, every graduation season, the media and fans go to pick up the starring lists of graduation dramas from various art schools.
Then we began to take stock of the famous graduates of that year to see which ones are the real ones, those little hot chicks who usually boast of their acting skills but didn’t even get a supporting role in the graduation drama.
Then tear it apart in various ways to satisfy the melon-eating crowd.
…………
To digress further, Shen Teng was able to serve as the first male group member in the graduation drama of the same year. Not to mention one of the most outstanding students in the acting department of the same year, he was also one of the top few.
But it is a pity that Shen Teng, who came out of the ivory tower, quickly learned what the cruelty of society is.
Because he was addicted to drama competitions in college, Shen Teng rarely went out to work on the set. Except for a small number of loyal drama fans, the general audience did not know him at all.
As a result, when Shen Teng went to work for the crew, directors and producers saw that he was not famous and rarely gave him important roles.
Over time, Shen Teng gave up on film and television and plunged back into the drama world.
It has to be said that although Shen Teng is unknown in the film and television industry, he has been the leader of the Military Art Drama Club for two years, and he is still somewhat famous in the drama industry.
Soon, he joined a drama team called "Sad Tofu Nao" and became the first actor in the team in a very short time. A year later, he even became one of the team partners, although the shareholding was very low.
Moreover, while working at [Sad Tofu Nao], due to the small scale of the company and insufficient talent reserves, members of the team often had to hold multiple positions per person.
Therefore, Shen Teng has additionally developed his screenwriting and directing abilities and participated in writing and directing several original dramas of "Sad Tofu Nao", which has a pretty good reputation.
However, it is a pity that due to the sluggish overall drama environment, although "Sad Tofu Nao" has been loved by many drama fans, its profits are not very impressive.
After barely supporting it for a few years, the largest funder withdrew its capital, [Sad Tofu Nao] was forced to disband, and Shen Teng also successfully lost his job.
In order to make a living, Shen Teng found his cousin Niu Ping, who was his closest "wrist".
Originally, what Shen Teng meant was that he wanted Niu Ping to introduce him to a drama group or a brokerage company so that he could have a more stable job. Of course, it would be even better if he could get a job in Kongwen and have a staff.
If the work is difficult to solve, you can just assign a role to deal with the emergency.
However, Shen Teng never expected that his cousin Niu Ping would be so awesome and directly brought him to Zuo Le, a famous director who has become famous in recent years.
Thanks to the popularity of his classmates Sha Yi, Yan Ni, and junior sister Yin Li, Shen Teng has a certain understanding of Zuo Le and his company Sunward Pictures.
Knowing that this is a promising company and that it treats artists very well, the boss Zuo Le is very good at flattering people and has built most of the company by himself.
Among them are Gu Xiaoge, who is the best in the industry; Yan Ni, who is popular in this year's TV drama; Sha Yi, who is on the front line; popular young flowers Yin Li, Shui Miaomiao and Zhang Jiajia; several golden supporting roles, Fan Min, Mao Xiao, etc.
If he could join this company, he wouldn't dare to think of his senior brother Sha Yi's status. If he could become Jiang Chao, Lin Yongjian would have no shortage of starring roles, and if he could be called Teacher Shen wherever he went, he would be satisfied.
…………
Zuo Le didn't know what Shen Teng was thinking, but he was quite satisfied with Shen Teng.
His acting skills are good, and he has a certain foundation in screenwriting and directing. His overall appearance is not handsome, but his temperament is pretty good, and he can be either serious or comical, which proves that he has a wide range of dramas and can act in comedies and dramas.
As a sitcom director, Zuo Le likes and appreciates this kind of actor the most.
However, although he had already decided to sign Shen Teng, Zuo Le did not immediately give his true letter.
Instead, I found a small role for Shen Teng in "Crossing Guandong" and let him act it out. If he performs well, he will sign the contract after the role is finalized.
Although Shen Teng has not made a name for himself in the past few years, he is not a rookie who has just graduated from school. He is still somewhat confident about Zuo Le's psychology, and he immediately agreed to stay on the crew of "Enter Guandong".
In the next few days, Zuo Le kept observing Shen Teng and found that this guy was very discerning.
Although he is not filming his scenes for the time being, Shen Teng is not idle. He takes the initiative to do any chores on the crew without getting paid a penny. He is more active than those crew members who are paid.
"Looks a bit lazy, but I didn't expect that he is quite diligent at work."
Zuo Le observed for a while and saw that Shen Teng was working diligently on the set every day without complaining at all, so he couldn't help but sigh, this guy has a good personality.
After all, Shen Teng was also a drama director, and he did pretty well in chores on the set. Seeing this, Zuo Le simply gave him the position of assistant director.
Shen Teng was specially assigned to direct the acting of the group of actors, which not only made him a professional counterpart, but also legitimately gave him a salary.
Within a week of joining the cast, he was directly promoted to the assistant director. Anyone with a discerning eye on the crew could see Zuo Le's admiration for Shen Teng. Coupled with the support of his cousin Niu Ping, Shen Teng's status in the crew of "Enter Guandong" skyrocketed.
Most people in the group also called him, from Xiao Shen at the beginning to Shen Teng, then to Lao Shen, then Brother Shen, and now Assistant Director Shen.
A realistic group......
…………
Not long after Shen Teng became the assistant director, a big event happened to the crew. The director went to attend the Golden Phoenix Awards ceremony, and the entire crew had a day off.
On the evening of December 25th, it was time to hold the Golden Phoenix Award Ceremony.
Shen Teng spent a long time talking on the phone with his girlfriend in the corner of the hotel lobby, and then returned to the hotel room.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw his temporary roommate, Prop Xiao Wang, sitting in front of the computer, picking his feet and watching the live broadcast of the awards ceremony.
Shen Teng pulled up a stool and sat on the other side where Xiao Wang was picking his feet. Ignoring the slight sour smell of putrefaction in the air, he approached the computer and asked Xiao Wang.
"Has the ceremony begun?"
"Brother Shen is back. No, he's still walking on the red carpet."
Seeing Shen Teng approaching, Xiao Wang did not dare to continue to indulge himself. He replied with a smile, quietly put down his feet, and then moved his body to the side so that Shen Teng's view would not be disturbed.
"Have Director Zuo left?"
Shen Teng turned a blind eye to Xiao Wang's actions and asked directly.
The two of them actually had a little feud before. When Shen Teng first moved into this room, Xiao Wang didn't know that Shen was arranged by Zuo Le personally. He acted as an old man on the crew and set up the music for Shen Teng. After being ignored by Shen Teng, he started to treat him. Make a face.
Later, Shen Teng wanted to show off and work for a job on the set, but this guy saw him and started to ridicule him, and even tried to isolate Shen Teng with others.
But not long after, Xiao Wang accidentally saw that Shen Teng and Niu Ping knew each other. After learning that his cousin was Shen Teng and Niu Ping, he did not dare to explode and his attitude towards Shen Teng improved significantly.
And after Shen Teng was appointed as the assistant director by Zuo Le and became Xiao Wang's boss, Xiao Wang and Gang Gang seemed to be different people at first. Brother Shen was older than Brother Shen every day, which was called a flattering and humble person.
Shen Teng couldn't say he disliked people like Xiao Wang, but he certainly didn't like them very much. However, in order to avoid trouble, he pretended that he didn't know, and pretended to be accommodating to Xiao Wang, appearing to be friendly.
Xiao Wang probably understood Shen Teng's thoughts and breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he usually supported each other when getting along with Shen Teng, for fear that Shen Teng would retaliate against him.
At this time, after hearing Shen Teng's question, Xiao Wang quickly replied: "Director Zuo and the others have passed by, but Director Gao has not yet, but it should be soon. In previous years, the red carpet show would have almost ended by this time. "
As soon as Xiao Wang finished speaking, a burst of cheers came from the computer screen. Gao Xinjian and Song Changying appeared on the red carpet in formal attire with their three "sons and daughters", attracting bursts of cheers from the audience nearby, and the barrage was always on. also increased significantly.
[All five members of the Xia family are here, and they attach great importance to the Golden Phoenix Award]
[Of course I take it seriously, this is the highest TV drama award]
[I don’t know if "Family with Children 2" can win awards, but the first one won the top ten TV series last year]
[It should be possible, the ratings of the second part exceeded 2, and it ranked among the top 10 TV dramas this year]
[It’s hard to say, “Family with Children 2” has enough ratings, but its reputation is not high]
[High-quality dramas with a Douhua rating of 8 or above are said to have a low reputation. How do you deal with those crappy dramas with a rating of 3 or 4?]
[Come on, let’s talk about the Golden Phoenix Awards. You have to mention those bad dramas. Can those bad dramas get the Golden Phoenix Award?]
[Indeed, there is a saying that among the top ten TV dramas of the Golden Phoenix Award, the score of 8 is not very good. Last year's "Family with Children 1" still scored 8.5]
[The main reason is that Shanhe is too strong this year, especially Zuo Le’s two dramas, which have great advantages. I think the organizing committee may have concerns]
[If you have any concerns, just award the TV series to which one is better. If you mess with the idea of balance, the credibility of the Golden Phoenix Award will be lost]
[The main reason is that he is still the current head of the organizing committee. If Mr. Chen is still there, the handling will definitely be fair and just]
[The barrage is all about gags, why do you want to be so serious? It’s just right to complain about gossip]
【That's right】
[Liu Xing has grown taller, the young man is quite energetic]
[Yang Qing is so beautiful. The little girl is not disabled at all. Instead, she is getting older and more temperamental]
[In comparison, You Haohao is not as cute as he was when he was a child]
[It’s okay, it’s not as plump and cute as the first one, but overall it’s still cute]
【…………】
Although Shen Teng has a certain understanding of mountains and rivers, he doesn't know everything.
During this time, he was on the set of "Enter Guandong" and knew that Zuo Le and others were nominated for "Wulin Gaiden", but he was completely confused about the situation of "With Children 2".
After reading these comments, Shen Teng was somewhat confused, so he asked Xiao Wang about "Family with Children 3". Xiao Wang did not dare to neglect, so he told Shen Teng everything he knew.
When Shen Teng figured out what was going on, the Golden Phoenix Awards ceremony officially began.
Looking at Tian Yan, who was wearing a red evening dress and co-hosting with He Dan, Shen Teng looked at Xiao Wang.
"I heard that Teacher Tian Yan is our director Zuo's girlfriend?"
Xiao Wang nodded and said with a smile: "Not just a girlfriend, I heard that she is getting married soon. Teacher Tian Yan is half the boss of Shanhe.
Before you were not here, Zuo directed their red carpet interview, and Teacher Tian Yan specially made a temporary guest appearance as the location host.
In the past two Golden Phoenix Awards red carpets, our director Zuo ignored the host at all and even made Beijing TV star Xu Weiwei trending because of his embarrassing interview. Director Zuo is also known as the most difficult director to deal with at the Golden Phoenix Red Carpet.
As a result, it was Teacher Tian Yan’s turn this time. She asked what Director Zuo said and she cooperated so well that the barrage exploded, complaining about Director Zuo’s double standards.”
"Director Zuo hasn't announced his relationship, right? I think all netizens know about it?" Shen Teng asked.
"It has not been announced, but all kinds of gossip have been dug up. Basically, those who pay more attention to entertainment news know about the relationship between Director Zuo and Teacher Tian Yan.
Sometimes Teacher Tian Yan helps Shanhe promote new dramas, or brings Shanhe artists to the "Happy Dream Show", and netizens tease Shanhe's proprietress for starting to take care of her own business again, but Director Zuo and the others don't refute, and basically adopt the default attitude."
"Boss lady!"
Shen Teng glanced at Tian Yan who was delivering the opening speech affectionately on the screen, and silently bolded and enlarged Tian Yan's name in his mind, reminding himself to hold it in his arms if he met her in the future.
