18 star students and 8 big-name mentors from the film and television industry gather together for a reality show of "actual training for artists". It can be said to be a microcosm of the vanity fair in the entertainment industry. True and false, joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, everything seems to be there. It is expected, but if it is topical, controversial and curious enough, the audience will naturally pay for it.
Each of the 18 star students will encounter some difficulties in the entertainment industry, so they thought about using this reality show to see if it could become a springboard for themselves, increase their popularity, be known by more people, and receive good news. script. But after all, Vanity Fair is a law of the jungle, with more monks and fewer monks. Everyone has different backgrounds, different identities, and different positions. Some people must be taken care of more, while others are treated indifferently. The fig leaf of the entertainment industry has once again been opened naked...
Xu Juncong: A little ant who goes through the motions
As a comedian at Dawan Entertainment, Xu Juncong has also filmed many movies over the years, such as the movies "Miracle: Stupid Kid" and "Mozart from Outer Space" released the year before last, and the Spring Festival box office champion "Hello, Li Huanying" and "Hot and Spicy", although they are all supporting roles, they are both big movies and big productions, and Xu Juncong's performance is also remarkable.
Compared with other star students, Xu Juncong is just a sketch actor with a comedy label after all. Dawan Entertainment is not a big company. It does not have a good backstage, no acquaintances to cover it, and little traffic and topicality. , so, during the interview and assessment of students, even though Xu Juncong still used his comedy skills to make the instructors laugh with a series of jingle introductions and action language, he still failed to win anything for himself. preferential treatment.
Er Dongsheng asked Da Cong directly what the purpose of coming this time was. Since you are an old actor, you have been filming movies and attending the Spring Festival Gala. Do you want to gain popularity when you come here? Da Cong would also honestly say He said "Hmm".
Because Da Cong only knows that this platform is good, coming here himself will definitely be the icing on the cake. I just want to see if there is an opportunity to try more film and television genres, such as tragedies and comedies, so that more people can see me. Hao Lei also said that comedians like Da Cong rarely have the opportunity to act in other types of dramas, because those who come here are always comedies.
Then Han Xue asked the eight tutors if they had given Da Cong an impromptu test question. Wu Zhenyu said with a blank look, "You want me to give you a situation?" "Do you have any good suggestions?" Hao Lei then added He said, "Let's just leave more time to my younger brothers and sisters." Then Han Xue added, "We'll see in the future, right?" and Eric Tsang followed up by saying, "Yes, okay."
Just like that, Da Cong, who originally wanted to come here to increase his reputation and express himself, skipped even the most basic improvisational part of the first student interview. However, all the star students who interviewed before him did not There is no improvisational part for a person. At that time, Xu Juncong's face froze and he walked out of the interview room with a frustrated look.
Other star students in the exam preparation room at that time, such as Gao Haining and Zheng Hehuizi, saw that Da Cong had such a rich experience. He not only danced in elementary school, but also acted in sketches and comedies when he grew up, and he also appeared on so many big stages. "Very suitable to be the captain", in other words, Da Cong should have the ability to get a red card. But now, there are no improvisational test questions, let alone a red card. The instructors didn't even think of this. piece.
The turbid vanity fair of the entertainment industry is indeed so realistic and cold-blooded. Knowing that Da Cong has no backstage, no background, and no enthusiasm, the necessary procedures are omitted, but for some other students, they are treated with completely double standards.
Xiang Zuo: The tutor obediently listened to his 5-minute monologue
Speaking of Xiang Zuo, everyone will naturally think of his father, a well-known tycoon in Hong Kong. He also has a strong aura and has been active on the short video platform in the past two years. His mother Xiang Tai and his beautiful and elegant wife, Bayan actress Guo Biting, can get whatever they want. No one dares to despise or ignore any of his requests and words.
The way Xiang Zuoyi greeted him was also very neat, directly saying "Hello everyone" and "Long time no see". At first glance, he looked very tough, straightforward and bossy.
Before the teachers gave him the impromptu performance question, he directly cueed the process himself, saying that he had brought a movie monologue and wanted to perform it for everyone. Then Wu Zhenyu specifically told him about the play, how to perform it and how to present it. Tony Leung also asked the staff to bring him a stool and asked Xiang Zuo to think of himself as a person in a wheelchair, and the whole character's state was given to him. alright. This kind of treatment is probably only available to Xiang Zuo.
Then Xiang Zuo faced the camera and talked ferociously for 5 minutes. From his changing expressions, to be honest, it was completely impossible to tell what his emotions were really trying to express. Apart from frowning, staring, Expanding his nostrils, you really have no idea what kind of mood he is expressing, and since he is talking about Cantonese, Ning Jing, Hao Lei, and Han Xue are probably even more confused after hearing this.
Wu Zhenyu looked so uncomfortable the whole time. He frowned so much that he could pinch a fly, but there was nothing he could do. This was Xiang Huaqiang's son. Anyone who dared to shout cut could only listen to what he said and look at him. After the performance, Wu Zhenyu dared to say something about Xiang Zuo, saying that he did not express helplessness, anger, and pity in the performance. Tony Leung also said that the emotions in the performance were not clear enough, and then everyone said nothing more. They probably didn’t know what else to say. , just watching his acting has exhausted all my energy.
Wang Qiang: Er Dongsheng’s person
Let’s talk about Wang Qiang. He had previously participated in an actor training reality show in Taochang. He also met director Er Dongsheng because of that variety show, and finally became a member of the Er director team. , after the program ended, he also starred in a movie "The End of the Sea is the Grassland" directed by Er; Wang Qiang also said that Director Er discovered many of his strengths, and he was very grateful to Director Er.
In fact, there are three things to say about director Er. Everyone should know how to do it. Wu Zhenyu said straight away, "So you are the director of me." Although Wang Qiang repeatedly emphasized that he was not a related person, he did not tell director Er before coming to this show. , but this just means that there are no three hundred taels of silver here, so there is no need to explain it further.
Wang Qiang said that he wanted to play a hero like Chang Yun-fat in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", who is very good at martial arts and swordsmanship. Although Wang Qiang's appearance is 18,000 miles different from that of the hero, everyone still thinks I am willing to give him a chance to perform live.
Zeng Zhiwei asked him if he liked acting in comedy, and Wang Qiang said directly that he didn't like it. Zeng Zhiwei was rejected, but Zeng Zhiwei immediately changed the test questions and replaced the comedic character with Jim Shibang 007, and asked Wang Qiang to play a character who can follow a dog. The agent who communicated with him personally went on stage to talk to Wang Qiang, which was equivalent to giving Wang Qiang two opportunities to improvise.
Looking back at Xu Juncong, he didn't even give him a chance to improvise. He just talked and danced with the instructors during the interview and was sent away. In comparison, I really feel that Xu Juncong is very pitiful.
Entertainment Circle·Amplified Vanity Fair
The entertainment circle is indeed an enlarged Vanity Fair. When you are not popular, you are just a pure and transparent person, noboby. But once you become popular and your status is high, your shining light will be everywhere. .
It’s a coincidence that Xu Juncong, as an artist of Dawan Entertainment, was treated so differently by the program crew, and Zhang Xiaofei was also a member of Jia Ling’s Dawan Entertainment. Before the popularity of "Hello, Li Huanying", Zhang Xiaofei also appeared During the grand ceremony and celebration banquet, there was not even a seat for the waiter. Only with the help of Jia Ling did he get a seat. It was really the cold reality of being naked.
But there’s nothing you can do about it, right? When it comes to our daily workplace life, it’s actually pretty much the same, except that it’s not magnified by the camera. But as workers, we also do our jobs well and adjust well in the world every day. It’s just your own mentality.
It is impossible to change the ecological environment, because human nature is like this. The only thing we can do is to polish ourselves, improve ourselves, and make ourselves more capable to deserve the opportunities that may come, so that we can hope to get ahead. , stand in a place where people can look up to you, and experience the joy of success that you have been dreaming about for a long time.
