After being criticized by several instructors, Guo Xiaosi finally became honest, and the following comment sessions became less and less confusing.
Although his second S card still gave him a white and tender little meat, the little meat did really well in the competition.
No one can say whether it can compare with the previous Duan Long, but at least it has a huge advantage among the actors in the same group. Guo Xiaosi's S card did not cause as much controversy as He Xuzhi.
However, no one else had any objections, but the actor who was issued the card was a little frightened.
At first, he might have been afraid of causing a big disturbance like He Xuzhi, but later he saw that the instructors were calm, and he was worried about himself.
As a certain instructor said about "choosing a concubine," it's not like actors like them can't see the comments in the live broadcast room and online comments backstage.
Apart from He Xuzhi and this young star, the last two S-cards were awarded by Lao Zhang and Yan Fei. One was given to a senior actress with a background in overseas literary films, and the other was given to a young actor with outstanding performance.
Basically, except for He Xuzhi, the other seven S-cards maintain the standard of issuing outstanding actors. They may not satisfy everyone, but they are enough to convince most viewers and participating actors.
However, the more this happens, the "mouse shit" He Xuzhi is squeezed among seven outstanding actors, which is particularly eye-catching and uncoordinated.
Afterwards, this S card became the biggest highlight of the live broadcast that day. Guo Xiaosi, the instigator, was criticized miserably, and the host Da Dong took sides randomly and also received a lot of firepower.
The worst offender is He Xuzhi. In fact, he is quite innocent. This S-card was forcibly given to him by Guo Xiaosi, and he cannot refuse it.
Not to mention that the rules didn't allow it, but even if it was allowed, he wouldn't dare, otherwise he would slap Guo Xiaosi in the face in public.
Guo Xiaosi has been in the industry for so long, and he still has some capital. Big guys like Zuo Le are naturally not afraid of success and fame, but he, a newbie, doesn't have the courage.
Therefore, even though he knew that he would definitely be scolded if he took this S card, He Xuzhi did not dare to say no.
What happened next also proved He Xuzhi's prediction. The fire at the Chimen affected Chiyu. Although he felt that he was innocent, netizens did not think so.
100% of the netizens' attacks were on Guo Xiaosi's own account, 60% of it, 30% of it by Dong, and almost 10% by He Xuzhi.
The most pitiful thing is that many self-media are busy trying to gain popularity. Whether they are posting videos or writing articles, they always have to introduce what happened. As a result, He Xuzhi's poor acting skills were pulled out and whipped over and over again.
He Xuzhi almost hated Guo Xiaosi.
Although he also wants to become popular, he hopes to become popular because of his positive image, rather than being ridiculed by the entire Internet like he is now, almost becoming the second [Cook·Basketball, Dancing, Rap·Kun]...

In addition to confirming the ownership of the eight S cards and the live broadcast of the first stage the next day, there is another thing worth mentioning.
That was the overturn of two veteran actors, Su Na and Yang Gang.
After 40 actors appeared in the pilot film, eight S cards were listed online.
At that time, both Su Na and Yang Gang were popular candidates, especially Su Na. Many people thought that getting her to B level was a routine by the show crew, and they were waiting for Su Na to successfully counterattack and perform the return of the king routine.
As a result, during the competition, Su Na and Liu Meng were in the same group PK.
At that time, it may be that Su Na underestimated her rival, as her acting condition and on-the-spot performance were obviously worse than Liu Meng's, and the role of Liu Meng was more explosive and easy to shine.
Due to many reasons, Liu Meng and Su Na each received two votes from the four mentors, tying each other. Then the program team started voting among 300 viewers.
In the end, Liu Meng narrowly won with a lead of more than ten votes and was promoted to Class A, while Su Na could only continue to struggle in Class B.
Su Na just wanted to lose. After all, Liu Meng, who was competing against her, was not a weakling.
In terms of comprehensive popularity and acting skills, Liu Meng is firmly ranked in the middle and upper reaches among the 40 actors, and it is not impossible to even make it to the top ten.
Although Su Na's defeat against such an opponent surprised everyone, it was not unacceptable.
In comparison, Yang Gang's rollover was a bit shabby.
He collaborated with a young actress who was a child star, competed with another group of two actors who were far less famous than him, and then failed miserably.
Not to mention comparing with the actors in the competitor group, even the performance of the little girl in the same group was better than that of Yang Gang.
I originally thought that it was the master who was taking me to fly, but instead of flying, the master held me back. The little girl also had a straight temper. She was so angry that she shook off what Yang Gang had done.
It turned out that Yang Gang was very supportive. During a week of rehearsals, he and the little girl only practiced together three or four times, and they were not even familiar with each other's lyrics.
Frankly speaking, Yang Gang still has good acting skills, but his overturn this time was mainly due to his mentality.
In recent years, Yang Gang has mostly filmed those heroic dramas of the Anti-Japanese War and the Republic of China that middle-aged and elderly people like to watch. These TV dramas have long episodes and are not sophisticated in production. Basically, the director approves of them if they are just about the same.
This long-term shooting habit has made Yang Gang instinctively form a routine when acting. At the same time, it has also biased his acting attitude, making him impetuous, perfunctory, and confusing things.
Moreover, in the previous pilot film Guo Xiaosi felt that he was not worthy of the S-class. Netizens ridiculed Guo Xiaosi and supported Yang Gang, which further inflated his mentality.
He felt that except for Hu Taoer, Su Na and others, the other actors were just useless and vulnerable.
At this time, if he is given a good partner or a strong opponent, Yang Gang realizes that there are many outstanding actors in the show or he becomes more vigilant, and there is still room for recovery.
However, Yang Gang was given a little girl as his partner, which could not suppress him at all. The two opponents were not well-known, and Yang Gang's already inflated mentality became even more arrogant.
The result was that Yang Gang was slapped in the face, transferred from S-level to B-level, and lost all face...
………
At this point, the first stage of the competition is over, the 40 actors have been classified again, and the program team will then start the second stage of the competition.
There are 8 plays in the second stage, and each instructor is responsible for two.
However, before the actors are selected, the program team will not announce which director is responsible for which play. The 40 actors go to choose their favorite roles based on their own preferences.
After finally forming a crew of 8, the actors filmed a 15 to 20-minute short film under the guidance of their director, and then broadcast the PK live.
At that time, the four mentors can invite an actor to their crew based on their performance to compete in the next stage. Each mentor has 2 S cards and 4 A cards.
In other words, the four mentors have a total of 24 places that can be promoted. If they cannot get these 24 places, they will be eliminated and leave "Actors Come to PK".
40 advanced to 24, the elimination rate is nearly half, the intensity of competition can be imagined...
For the casting part, the program team specially released a live broadcast, which contained a lot of interesting things.
The second stage of casting was slightly different from the first stage.
S-class and A-class actors still have priority in casting, while the lowest B-class actors lose their casting rights and are instead selected by 8 S-class actors.
In addition, the program team also adjusted the priorities of S-class and A-class. A-class will be selected first, and then S-class. S-class has the right to compete for roles.
Regarding this point, the official statement of the program team is that it mainly highlights the cruelty of the competition system, and also imitates the current situation of the entertainment industry.
Actors with high status can compete for the roles of the actors below, while the actors below are in a passive situation. From this point of view, it is very real.
However, some knowledgeable people pointed out in the live broadcast that in addition to the above reasons, the program team probably also considered the balance between the various crews.
Different from the first stage of the competition, the PK between actors this time is reduced. The main key point is to show yourself, and then be promoted after being spotted by the director.
In this way, actors must find ways to increase their voice in the crew. It is best to suppress their co-stars and maximize their chances of success to ensure promotion.
There are a total of 8 crews, and S-class actors will not be concentrated in one crew, which will reduce each other's chances of promotion.
Therefore, it is most likely that the S-level actors are spread out and each person sits on a crew, which gives the A-level actors a lot of room for maneuver.
S-class actors like Hu Taoer and Duan Long are powerful and undoubtedly occupy a strong position in the crew. Joining their crew may be overshadowed by their shine.
On the other hand, even if a rookie like He Xuzhi occupies a good role, many A-level actors will still have the confidence to beat him and step on this weakest S-level actor.
In order to prevent bullying, it is necessary for A-level actors to cast their roles first. They do not know whether the S-level actors they are working with are strong or weak. In order to ensure their own strength, they can only choose the most suitable role for them.
S-class actors have the right to grab roles, so they don't have to worry about losing their favorite roles.
However, after the selection of A-level actors, the starring structure of each crew has basically taken shape. S-level actors can only replace one role, and they also need to weigh the pros and cons and choose a crew that is most suitable for them.
For example, an S-level actor feels that there is a role that suits him very well, but the A-level actor in the same cast is very strong, so he is not necessarily guaranteed to be able to outperform him. However, in another cast, his partner is not as strong as him, but the role does not suit him well.
There is a lot to see in how to choose.
When it comes to selecting B-level actors from S-level actors, there are more tricks. Strong B-level actors may not be in demand, while B-level actors with poor acting skills may be the favorites of many people.
At the same time, although actors in Group B can only be selected, they can recommend themselves to their favorite crew. If they do not want to join a certain crew, they also have the right to refuse.
But if no one wants it after rejecting the offer, then we will have no choice but to join the cast with a crew that has no actors to join.
Of course, not all actors have the idea of suppressing their peers and excelling themselves.
According to the rules of the competition, the instructors do not select actors from the same crew. If they only focus on showing off themselves, causing the whole show to collapse, it may be self-defeating and the entire group will be eliminated.
Therefore, many actors feel that on the premise of showing themselves, they must also ensure the quality of the play.
Maybe several actors work together to create a wonderful show, and then all of them are valued by the instructor and promoted.
No one can say for sure...
Therefore, this casting drama is particularly exciting. The 40 actors have their own little plans, and they cross the sea, show their magical powers, compete with each other in wits and courage, and join forces to make the audience who watch the live broadcast very happy.
………
After the casting, there is still a week of rehearsal and shooting time, and a week later there will be a live broadcast premiere with comments from the instructor.
During this week, four instructors came into the group to provide guidance. The program team specially filmed these processes and turned them into special episodes, which were put on Penguin Video for the audience to watch.
There are 8 plays, 4 of which are works that the four instructors have participated in, and the remaining 4 are excerpts from other film and television dramas. None of the four instructors were assigned plays that they have participated in.
This is also a deliberate attempt by the program team to cause the adapter and the original director and actors to collide with each other, which will be very interesting to watch.
The two plays Zuo Le was assigned were director Yan Fei's famous work "The Wild Princess Finds Her Father" and the other was the liberation war film "Uprising".
What is gratifying is that Duan Long and Min Min, two S-level actors that Zuo Le is very optimistic about, have been assigned to his team. Baby Chu Chu is also in the formation, as well as Yang Gang, a powerful actor who is determined to avenge his shame.
The scary thing is that Yu Ya, Da Zhang and Chen Xiao, the three actors who were criticized by Zuo Le, were also assigned to Zuo Le.
If there was no program team causing trouble here, Zuo Le would run around the live broadcast base of "Actors Come to PK" naked...
But in any case, the actors have been divided, and the other three mentors also have many bad actors. Except for Da Zhang and the other three, Zuo Le's overall actor quality is considered to be one of the best among the four mentors.
And among these three people, except for the troublesome one, the other two are very obedient and do whatever they are told, regardless of their ability, and have a very upright attitude.
Da Zhang was a bit unorganized and slick at the beginning, but Zuo Le was not accustomed to others. During the live broadcast, he was still concerned about the scale. During private rehearsals, he told the program team to turn off the camera and started scolding him directly.
It's okay to be obedient and rehearse. If you don't accept it, get out. It depends on whether the program team supports you or Zuo Le.
The reason why Dazhang has a bad reputation and is safe despite being disgusting with people everywhere is that he is said to have a high-level backer from a certain province and Taiwan.
But his backing is obviously ineffective for Zuo Le. Sitting at the base of Dongshantai, he can cooperate with CCTV if he enters, and if he retreats, he can cooperate with the three major video websites.
Unless you are the top publicity executive behind you, Zuo Le's current strength and reputation are simply not worth it.
Facing the tough Zuo Le, Da Zhang gave in.
After getting rid of the thorn, Zuo Le started to get down to business. Two plays, "Uprising" is a men's play, Duan Long takes the lead, Yang Gang, Chen Xiao and two other actors assist.
The main plot of this play is that the second male lead is the commander of a certain unit of the Guo Army. He has always opposed the civil war. In a certain key battle, the troops he led were in a position to influence the situation of the battle.
Our party knew what the second man was up to, so it sent the male protagonist, a political cadre, to persuade the second man and prepare him to revolt on the battlefield. The Guo Army also got the news and sent a special envoy to supervise the army to prevent the second man from defecting.
The three parties met unexpectedly, and immediately started a fierce battle. The second male lead was wavering, the male lead and the special envoy took turns to show their cards, and there were also two subordinates of the second male lead who had doubts about their positions.
The rhythm is tense and full of tension.
Duan Long plays the male lead, who is a member of our party, the second male lead is an A-level actor, the villain's special envoy is Yang Gang, and Chen Xiao plays the second male lead's subordinate, who is actually a member of our party and delivers a fatal blow to the special envoy at the critical moment.
Zuo Le didn't worry much about this play, Duan Long's strength was on display, Yang Gang put away his frivolous attitude, and his acting skills soared. The second male lead and another actor also performed well.
The only worry was about Chen Xiao, but fortunately he didn't have many roles, and Duan Long and the others were in charge, and Zuo Le took special care of him. Not to mention reborn, at least he didn't lose his integrity.
Another group of plays, "The Wild Princess Finds Her Father", is a little more troublesome...
