Chapter 717: Fan Jin Passes the Exam

The progress of the actor rating was not as formal or urgent as Miss Luo Quan had imagined.

After receiving the news that it was about to start, she had released two or three songs, and only then was the scope of the exam announced.

Actually, it was just providing a few scenes, such as the anger of national hatred and family enmity, the fear of being hunted, the happiness of lovers finally getting married, the sadness of losing a wife in middle age and a son in old age, and letting them choose one to perform.

The preparation time was three days, and after three days, the exams were held one by one.

This was just the first part. After the official selection exam was finished, the actors could also perform a self-selected subject. This was mainly to let them play their strengths as much as possible.

The competition system was quite reasonable, and most people's mentality was actually relatively relaxed.

After all, it was already at this point; being anxious or trying to embrace Buddha's feet temporarily was useless.

Relaxing the mentality and not adding pressure to oneself might even lead to an extraordinary performance.

In addition to the judges, this exam also invited people from all walks of life to serve as a public jury.

Of course, they had no right to score and rate the actors; their duty was to supervise whether the judges were fair and impartial.

The composition of the people participating in the public jury was relatively responsible, including college students, old professors, middle-aged individual shop owners, and workers who had been through wind and rain.

Basically, all age groups and all classes were taken into account, which was to let the roles played by the actors allow the people present to find a sense of substitution, which was convenient for the judges to rate them later.

This is the so-called, art must be grounded and walk into the masses.

In the past, art practitioners often considered themselves high and wouldn't mingle with the masses, always feeling that the things they created were better the more niche they were, and the general public didn't deserve to understand or appreciate them.

Such thoughts were very undesirable.

Because the audience of the entertainment industry is ultimately the ordinary people who don't have such high artistic attainments.

Being grounded has always been a very important audit standard for this rating.

Once detached from the masses, the things performed will change flavor.

"Starting to be a judge today, livestreaming for everyone again in the evening."

Going out in the morning, Miss Luo Quan posted a dynamic, announcing the extension of the livestream time.

The other girls had already chosen the topics they wanted to perform.

Fortunately, they were not taking the exam in Miss Luo Quan's group this time, so no matter what the final result was, there wouldn't be any rumors.

The exam location was inside Jingying University. This was something the school had worked hard to win, just so that a group of celebrities could be observed by students in the school when taking the exam.

It wasn't just to learn how those excellent actors acted, but also to see where those who didn't act well were lacking.

If it were in the past, the content of this kind of exam would definitely not be public; after all, if it got out, it would be a big loss of face for those actors who didn't do well.

But the Radio and Television Bureau spoke up this time, saying the exam would be transparent and public, just to let the public see the true level of the actors, so that they could convince the public.

Lest when the results came out, someone would bring up the rhythm of 'black box operation' or something.

Miss Luo Quan ate breakfast at the hotel and sat in the 10th exam room early.

The other judges seemed to be dining in the school cafeteria, while the candidates were quite active, basically already sitting in the exam room.

It was also funny to say that she, a twenty-year-old green cucumber, was a judge for a group of middle-aged actors around thirty, or even forty.

In the whole classroom, she was probably the youngest batch.

If you didn't look at the judge's badge hanging on her chest, you would think she was a candidate.

In the entertainment industry, there were tens of thousands of actors to be rated, and the exam had to be finished in half a month, so the candidates that each exam room was responsible for every day were about a hundred.

Actually, the workload wasn't particularly large, but as the performances of the candidates watched became more and more, they would gradually feel bored.

How to maintain high concentration for half a month was a relatively headache-inducing problem for those old actors who were getting on in years.

As for young people like Miss Luo Quan, that wasn't a problem. With her vigorous energy, even if she handled a large batch of highly homogeneous affairs in an afternoon, she could still be efficient and accurate.

The hundred or so actors taking the exam on the first day sat in the first few rows, and as the public jury, they were relatively behind.

Further back were the students of Jingying.

As long as they didn't have classes, they basically took the time to come to the exam, wanting to observe on the spot how these seniors acted.

In order to make her image more like a judge and avoid the masses who didn't know the truth thinking she was sitting in the wrong place and causing a farce.

Before coming, Miss Luo Quan specially prepared a pair of non-prescription rimmed glasses for herself, wanting to create a scholarly image for herself.

It had to be said that this behavior of 'pig nose inserting green onion' really fooled some people.

Especially when she was flipping through the blank record book in front of her, she looked as serious as if she were looking at the candidates' information.

The public jury sitting below pointed at her and discussed, nodding from time to time:

"This judge came very early, it seems she is quite serious about her work."

"Beautiful and young, she looks like an elite!"

"And she's a foreigner, she looks like an expert from the United States."

"But I don't know why, I always feel a bit familiar, as if I've seen her on the Spring Festival Gala?"

"Then you must have remembered wrong, she is a doctor specially hired back from the United States."

"Is that so! That's too amazing."

………………

It was just that Miss Luo Quan was far away and couldn't hear it; otherwise, she would probably be like those actors and college students who were relatively close, directly unable to hold back and grinning.

It had to be said that she really hadn't reached the level where she could make billions of people in Huaxia know her name.

Going to the Spring Festival Gala could indeed greatly improve influence, but ultimately it was only once a year.

And she didn't go last year, which was equivalent to not meeting everyone for almost two years.

In Huaxia, if an actor wants to be a household name, the most practical way is to shoot a popular TV series.

At that time, it would be broadcast on various TV stations during prime time, and broadcast on a rolling basis during winter and summer vacations. At that time, it would be hard not to know her.

Unfortunately, her appearance was destined to make it not very easy to shoot Huaxia TV series.

Including Huaxia movies, many roles she played always felt a sense of disharmony.

This couldn't be solved by makeup or wearing Hanfu.

For this situation, Miss Luo Quan was helpless and also quite regretful.

Fortunately, the number of artists under her banner was numerous, and those classic TV series that hadn't been born yet wouldn't be buried forever; sooner or later, they would meet everyone.

However, the person who became popular at that time might not be her.

After waiting for about ten minutes, He You and his group finally arrived.

Besides the three who participated in the banquet before, there were also two male actors who had just returned from abroad, who were also young male actors with a good reputation in the country, but the awards they won weren't as famous as Miss Luo Quan and Miao Fan.

As the group leader of the 10th group, everything in the exam room was naturally hosted by Uncle He You. He picked up the candidate precautions and read out a few key points with cadence.

Subsequently, he asked the Jingying students to close the door, set the mobile phones to vibrate, and the exam officially began.

"Candidate No. 1, Xu Shen, perform the joy of winning the lottery."

A subject that wasn't particularly difficult; those who had studied acting basically wouldn't feel any difficulty.

But when Miss Luo Quan saw the young handsome guy with makeup standing up, she knew that this guy's situation was a bit difficult.

Makeup was nothing; young artists now all wear makeup, and she, who claims to love bare face the most, would also wear makeup on relatively formal occasions.

But if a boy looks more "beautiful" than a girl after makeup, that's not quite normal.

Although many artists have criticized the phenomenon of 'sissy' little fresh meat, and the above has also spent effort to rectify it, this unhealthy trend hasn't been completely solved.

The Xu Shen in front of her was still okay, just that the foundation was applied a bit thickly.

Those little fresh meats from before even had to draw eyeliner and eyeshadow, and even apply lipstick!

That appearance was really not an exaggeration to describe as 'demons dancing'.

Regardless, it's not a mistake for an artist to love beauty; it still depends on how he performs.

After going on stage, Xu Shen wasn't reserved, submitted his identity proof, and started performing directly.

A minute and a half of scenes, he split into three parts.

Before winning the lottery, the joy of checking the prize number by number.

Here, the performance was very layered, the joy progressed layer by layer, quite skillful.

Subsequently, it was the ecstasy after matching all the numbers; the extreme joy after sudden wealth was interpreted quite well.

The last part was the calmness after the joy, starting to think about how to dispose of the huge bonus, and the beautiful imagination for the future.

That heartfelt happiness was also completely embodied.

A short performance, but it reflected Xu Shen's powerful acting skills, and also made Miss Luo Quan start to reflect on why she had the idea of judging people by their appearance.

Although this guy in front of her looked like a little fresh meat, his acting skills were completely that of a powerful school.

Not to mention how powerful, at least it was better than many actors from professional backgrounds.

Especially in the second round of self-selected subjects, he played a small person who was not liked by everyone, crouching in the corner eating alone.

It was originally a subject with a difficult character setting, and he used non-physical performance.

Clearly, he didn't use anything in his hands, but he seemed to hold chopsticks in one hand and a bowl in the other, quickly digging food into his mouth.

Even his cheeks gradually bulged.

This point could be said to be quite skillful.

Several judges were quite surprised, not expecting the first candidate to be such a powerful actor.

Interestingly, although the acting skills were so excellent, when they exchanged rating opinions, they found that everyone didn't know this young man.

It seems that there are quite a few buried talents in Huaxia.

The final result also came out. Xu Shen passed the exam with exquisite performance, and the depiction of the character was quite clear and profound, winning a third-level actor rating.

This was just a preliminary rating, and it wouldn't be completely finalized until it was handed up and confirmed by several group leaders later.

However, with this kind of performance, there was basically no possibility of going down again.

However, there was no hope of going up again, mainly because there were still some flaws in his eyes.

Miss Luo Quan was praised in the media as "having a pair of eyes that can speak" and had quite a lot of say in eye acting.

She also spoke bluntly about Xu Shen's shortcomings in this regard, as well as how to improve, which could be said to be full of dry goods.

The public jury watched the excitement, while the Jingying students behind had already taken out pens and paper and recorded them.

Upon learning that he had obtained the preliminary rating result of a third-level actor, the anxious Xu Shen also shed tears of joy.

"A real man, why are you like this?" Director Jiang Wen couldn't stand this kind of thing the most and frowned.

"Sorry, Judge Jiang Wen, it's just that I've been too bitter these years."

Xu Shen hurriedly wiped away his tears and told the bitterness of these years.

It turned out that he wasn't from a professional acting background, and most of the time after entering the industry, he was an extra.

He couldn't get the appreciation of a Bole, and no one wanted him when he went to cast his resume.

There were companies that wanted to sign him, but they provided bullying clauses.

So much so that he was so talented and capable, but he never made a name for himself, and was a small transparent in the entertainment industry for several years.

It wasn't until the actor rating that he was given such a fair stage to show himself.

A third-level actor, besides a certificate that could be taken out, also had a guarantee for the salary of acting in the future. How could this not make him happy?

After listening, several judges also sighed lightly.

This kind of thing was too common in the circle.

The acting circle in the past did indeed let bad money drive out good money.

But at least now, capable actors finally had a day to stand out.

Unfortunately, people like Xu Shen in the classroom were ultimately a minority.

The second candidate who followed was also a little fresh meat with a "reserved" appearance.

What he performed was a crying scene, and the situation was that a relative had a car accident.

The exam started, and he sat directly on the ground and began to wail.

That cry was so miserable that it made people sad to hear and see.

But the person himself couldn't shed a single tear.

On the contrary, the judges on the stage wanted to cry a bit.

Because appreciating such an exaggerated performance at close range was simply a torture for them.

Now they finally realized that a young artist with this appearance and this strength like Xu Shen was an individual case.

And this one in front of them was probably the common situation.

"It seems that it's not my fault for judging people by their appearance."

Miss Luo Quan tightened her beautiful willow-leaf curved eyebrows, trying to make her expression look natural.

The worse the situation, the more she had to reflect her elegance, demeanor, and quality.

However, the public jury wasn't as polite as them, and there were quite a few with explosive tempers who started spraying directly.

"What the hell is this performance!"

No one could answer, including the little fresh meat who was performing, because he didn't know what he was performing either.

It's just that the agent told him that performing like this was the most likely way to muddle through. ===== CHAPTER 718 =====
