The main plot of the play "Wild Princess Looking for Her Father" is about the female protagonist, the second female protagonist is bullied by the queen and the evil nanny, and then the male protagonist rushes in, hugs the injured female protagonist, and angrily denounces the queen and the evil nun.
In the original version of this drama, the performance style was more exaggerated, and the lines were too bloody and artificial, which is very different from the current performance style.
Zuo Le was hesitant at first whether to change the original style. Later, he asked several actors to try it out and still felt that it should be changed.
Several actors are obviously not adapted to the original performance method, and the effect of their interpretation is probably not recognized and liked by the instructor and the current audience.
Zuo Le is a well-known screenwriter, and Chu Chu Baby is also a creative actor. With the help of other actors, the original lines were quickly streamlined and changed, and the overall style returned to the ordinary costume light comedy.
But style and lines are just trivial matters, the real highlight lies in the actors.
Min Min plays the heroine, a young girl with a lot of energy. Zuo Le is enlightened by just a few words and plays the role with ease.
Another actor who played the role of the Queen, although his performance was not as good as Min Min, he was quite satisfactory. Baby Chu Chu was limited by her image and was born to be lovable. At the beginning, she was a little unable to grasp the key point of the original villain Nanny being both fierce and evil.
Zuo Le simply asked her to change her character and add a bit of comedy elements to the villainous grandmother. The character was much more fleshed out, but it did not deviate from the scope of the original version of doing bad things, and she was silly, evil, and evil.
What makes Zuo Le most uncomfortable is the second female lead played by Yu Ya and the male lead played by Da Zhang.
Don't get me wrong, although Dazhang is the "male protagonist", he appeared relatively late and is the one with the least subdivision of the five characters.
If it were like Duan Long, a male protagonist who had to take the lead from beginning to end of the scene and at certain key points, Zuo Le would have given up on it.
The second female lead played by Yu Ya is often the background and supporting role of the female lead.
But even so, the two of them still have a certain chance to show their faces. As the director of the crew, Zuo Le must try his best to ensure that the two of them can perform well and not hold back other actors.
But this is easier said than done.
If the two of them really had good acting talents, they wouldn't have been so badly damaged by Zuo Le before. If they had enough time, they could still train them slowly. Now there is only one week, so there is no extra time.
Zuo Le thought about it for a while and decided to use a stupid method. The actor practiced it over and over again, and he corrected it over and over again.
He couldn't believe that after practicing hundreds of times, the two of them still made no progress at all.
Zuo Le felt that he was very lucky. Duan Long and the others were watching over Chen Xiao, which saved him a lot of worry and allowed him to focus most of his energy on "The Wild Princess Finds Her Father".
After a week, Zuo Lehuo lost two pounds.
I'm too tired, not physically but mentally.
Zuo Le would rather work like crazy on the set and go to night shows every day than play with these two people. Tutoring "poor students" is really not a job for humans.
Zuo Le even feels that his temper has been tempered by the two of them. Thanks to them, his tolerance for the mistakes of some actors has greatly increased.
Recalling the superb acting skills of Li Youbin, Yan Ni, Fan Min and others, Zuo Le wanted to slap himself in the face. He was so blessed that he didn't know how to be blessed. He had nothing to do and ran this crappy show to suffer this kind of crime. What did he want...
………
Although his spirit was greatly damaged, Zuo Le's efforts were not in vain.
On the day when the eight dramas in the second stage premiered live, the crew of "The Wild Princess Finds Her Father" appeared. Seeing Da Zhang and Yu Ya whose acting skills had improved significantly, the audience and instructors were quite surprised. Zuo Le felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Unfortunately, due to the limited subject matter, this play was not favored by the instructors.
Except for Chu Chubaby who was won by Zuo Le and Min Min who followed Yan Fei, the other three actors were all eliminated.
Looking at the three disappointed actors on the stage, Zuo Le also felt a little uncomfortable.
Not to mention the big show, it all depends on Zuo Le's close attention and urging. Although the overall performance has improved somewhat, it is still unsatisfactory. Zuo Le does not like him very much.
However, this little girl Yu Ya has changed Zuo Yang's sentiment a lot. Although her talent is average, she is better than she is willing to endure hardship.
There was no need for Zuo Le to urge me during rehearsals. I was able to practice hard voluntarily and think hard in private. I worked particularly hard. Among the actors assigned to Zuo Le, I was the one who made the most significant progress this week.
No director hates hard-working actors.
Zuo Le recorded this Yu Ya in his little notebook. In the future, if any of Shanhe's own artists doesn't like the role of a vase, he can try her out.
In the second play "Uprising" that Zuo Le was responsible for, several actors performed very well and won praise from the instructors.
The four mentors all extended invitations to the male protagonist Duan Long, but Duan Long chose Zuo Le without hesitation.
Yang Gang, who had a tough time in the previous stage, learned from the pain. In this play, he avenged his shame with a wonderful performance and won invitations from Yan Fei and Lao Zhang. In the end, Yang Gang chose Lao Zhang.
The actor who played the second male role was also successfully promoted and was selected by Zuo Le. There was also Chen Xiao. Although his performance was quite satisfactory, Guo Xiaosi, who always liked fresh meat, gave him an olive branch.
After many hesitations, Chen Xiao was finally reluctant to leave the popular variety show "Actors Come to PK" and joined Guo's team.
Another actor had no choice of mentor, so he could only give a speech and leave in tears.
In the fourth of the five promotions, "Uprising" became the best-performing play in the second stage.
As for the plays directed by the other three instructors, their standards are high and low, and their promotion and elimination rates are also high and low.
It is worth mentioning that one of Guo Xiaosi's plays is "Wulin Gaiden" by Zuo Le.
The plot is about the breakup between Tong Xiangyu and Bai Zhantang. Guo Xiaosi did not change his artificial love drama style, but changed the scene into a mess beyond recognition.
Zuo Le was embarrassed to praise himself and belittle others, so [Yuba] in the live broadcast room sprayed Guo Xiaosi bloody with barrages.
As for the 5 actors in this group of plays, except for the heroine Huang Yi who continued to fall into Guo Xiaosi's clutches, the other 4 actors were all eliminated, making it the worst of all the crew.
…………
In the end, all 24 qualified actors were selected, and the third stage of "Actors Come to PK" began.
The rules are simpler and more cruel.
Each instructor has two S-level actors and four A-level actors. Six actors will form two teams and rehearse two plays under the guidance of the instructor.
Then the four major instructors draw lots and let the eight teams compete against each other. The live audience and the audience in the live broadcast room vote, and then the comprehensive ratio is calculated.
The winner advances and the loser is eliminated.
Four teams, that is, 12 actors, were selected to advance to the final round.
This duel-style fight is the most eye-catching. The collision between the instructors and the direct confrontation between the actors make the audience excited just thinking about it.
The tacit understanding and friendship between the four mentors has also disappeared a lot. In the second phase of the knockout competition, the chance of all the mentors' actors being eliminated is too small, and everyone's desire to win is not particularly strong.
But it’s different now. The groups compete against each other, and if they lose, they will all be eliminated. In theory, the chances of all two groups of actors under the same instructor being eliminated are not small.
If the whole army is wiped out, it will be a shame.
Therefore, the four major mentors do not dare to be careless. The lowest bottom line is to keep one group from being eliminated. As long as there is a group of actors in hand who advance, it is not a shame.
After killing to this extent, except for a very small number of actors who remained, the rest were all capable actors with two skills. Once the instructors became serious, the quality of the clips produced was quite excellent.
In the third stage of the live broadcast competition, 8 real acting feasts were staged, which the audience feasted their eyes on and said they were completely addicted.
The final PK result was beyond many people's expectations. Zuo Le and Lao Zhang's crew were all promoted, while Yan Fei and Guo Xiaosi were all eliminated.
But after thinking about it carefully, everyone found that it was expected. The strength of Zuo Le and Lao Zhang must be higher than the other two. If the program team does not want to strike a balance, all the mentor crew will be eliminated.
If one of the two, Yan or Guo, is eliminated from the show, then the instructor may be embarrassed and may become enemies with the show crew.
But now that both of them have been eliminated and each other has a companion to accompany them, the situation is not so embarrassing anymore.
………
The 12 advanced actors came to the final round of the showdown.
Each person has a play, and the actors can invite previously eliminated actors to assist, or they can invite external actor friends to rehearse for a week as usual.
The final competition will be held one week later. The competition format will be similar to that of the arena competition, and the order of playing will be determined by drawing lots.
After the actor's performance is over, the instructor, the live audience, and the audience in the live broadcast room jointly score the score. Based on the proportional value, the actor's score is obtained.
After the first actor gets the score, he starts to defend the ring. After the second actor performs, he scores. If the score is higher than the first actor, the challenge is successful. If the score is lower than the first actor, the first actor continues to defend the ring.
In the end, all 12 actors have finished their performances, and whoever stands on the ring at the end will be the champion of the first "Actors Come to PK".
Frankly speaking, this rule is not completely fair. Apart from that, the order of appearance is of great help to the actors, and the victory or defeat is determined by one game, which is also a bit sloppy.
If Zuo Le was allowed to do it, he felt that it would be more fair to have a round-by-round elimination round, but obviously the author is not willing, so the program team can only do this.
On the night of the final battle of "Actors Come to PK", the number of viewers in the Penguin Video live broadcast room exceeded 1.5 million, which was comparable to the world e-sports finals. The director team and Penguin Video executives were grinning.
The popularity was so high that the actors in the final battle were also very excited. They worked hard, took turns to fight, and contributed wonderful performances one after another.
Zuo Le and other four major instructors also put down their burdens and concentrated on watching the performance. Zuo Le's comments were no longer venomous, but mainly encouraged and praised.
After two and a half hours, this peak night finally came to an end.
With a slight advantage, Duan Long narrowly defeated Hu Taoer and finally won the championship of the first "Actors Come to PK" and also dominated the headlines.
Zuo Le applauded gently in the audience, not only to be happy for his artists, but also to bid farewell to this variety show trip.
It's already mid-April, and Tian Yan's due date is within two weeks. It's time for me to prepare and start shooting this year's work...
