Chapter 2: Actors in position? Heavyweight judges! [Seeking flowers!!!]
"Welcome everyone to the live broadcast of the annual large-scale variety show 'Into the Film and Television'! Hello everyone! I am your host, Xiao Sa!"
"Before we knew it, 'Into the Film and Television' has already reached its second season!"
"This season, the prize pool for each sub-segment has accumulated to an astonishing 50 million yuan! Contestants can even gain the opportunity to collaborate with multiple famous directors and producers!"
"According to tradition, the 'Into the Film and Television' program will be divided into three sub-segments: 【Actors in Position】, 【Screenwriters in Position】, and 【Directors in Position】, conducted in sequence!"
"And today is the first round of elimination for 【Actors in Position】!"
"The rules for 【Actors in Position】 are the same as last season. Contestants will enter film and television segments randomly constructed by a supercomputer and play designated roles!"
"Contestants must improvise based on the available information and complete the role-play for each scene as best as they can!"
"Finally, the computer AI will provide 50% of the score, and the judges and the audience will decide the other 50%!"
"The four contestants with the lowest scores will be eliminated! The other contestants will advance!"
Inside a magnificent and massive studio, hundreds of live audience members sit surrounding the stage.
On the stage, where countless lights are focused.
"Next, let us welcome the three judges for this season!"
Xiao Sa finished stating the basic rules with a face full of smiles, turned to the side, and gestured with his palm toward the back as the lights came up.
Above the judge's bench, which is half a meter higher than the stage.
The three judges' seats are vacant, appearing even more majestic and solemn under the illumination of the lights.
"The three judges for this season are heavyweight existences! Every one of them is a titan of the film and television industry!"
"Let us welcome—"
"The director of the famous film and television works 'Red Sorghum', 'Hero', and 'House of Flying Daggers'—Mr. Zhang Laomou!"
As Xiao Sa's voice fell.
Thunderous applause erupted in the studio, and countless audience members were so excited their faces turned red.
If one speaks of the mainland director circle, Zhang Laomou is absolutely an unmovable mountain!
A single 'Red Sorghum' is enough to be an eternal swan song! Not to mention the countless classic works that followed which were both critically acclaimed and commercially successful.
It's just that the live audience didn't expect that the program team for this season could actually invite a great Buddha like Zhang Laomou!
"Hello everyone."
Zhang Laomou simply nodded toward the live broadcast camera and the audience, his expression normal, with a hint of being stern and not given to joking.
With his seniority and status in the film and television circle, it should be so.
And Xiao Sa's impassioned introduction did not stop.
"With countless classic works, the one who won the double Best Actor award for the role of Puyi in 'The Last Emperor'—Mr. Chen Daomin!"
Clatter, clatter.
The same thunderous applause, the same flushed faces; the audience was incredibly excited.
If Zhang Laomou is the Mount Tai of the director circle, Chen Daomin can absolutely be called the Big Dipper of the acting world!
And compared to the serious Zhang Laomou, Chen Daomin is more approachable, smiling and greeting the camera, his calm and refined temperament clearly displayed.
After Chen Daomin took his seat beside Zhang Laomou.
Xiao Sa's voice sounded again.
"The author and director of 'Tiny Times,' 'Tiny Times 2: Tiny Times 2.0,' and 'Tiny Times 3: Tiny Times 3.0'—Mr. Guo Xiaosi!"
Following the appearance of a goblin-like figure.
Suddenly.
Enthusiastic applause rang out, but only upon listening closely would one discover that everyone clapping at the scene was a girl in her adolescence.
And the other audience members, besides the young girls, were much colder; there were even quite a few boos from the corners, which also reflected the great controversy surrounding Guo Xiaosi.
However, Guo Xiaosi was clearly used to the faint boos at the scene and still took his seat with high spirits.
At the same time, the bullet comments in the live broadcast room surged wildly.
【My god! Even Zhang Laomou was invited?! And there's actually Chen Daomin??】
【Best Actor!! The appearance fee must start at ten million, right??】
【But why is there a piece of rat dung mixed in?】
【Is Guo Xiaosi qualified to be a judge?? What kind of trash is he filming??】
【A movie with nothing to recommend it except the box office; it might as well be renamed 'Tiny Times: Money Grabbing Era'.】
【But Chen Daomin and Zhang Laomou are famously strict about acting! Not to mention how high their requirements for actors are!】
【I'm inexplicably looking forward to it!!!】
【A minute of silence for the participating actors this season....】
After the three judges appeared.
It wasn't just the audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room who were boiling over!
Even the dozens of contestants watching the live broadcast in the backstage lounge were in an uproar!
Expressions of nervousness and fear could not help but appear on countless faces!
If it were other judges, they might show mercy with their words, adding a word of encouragement after a tactful critique.
But these two, Zhang Laomou and Chen Daomin, one a director and one a Best Actor.
They are famously strict in the circle; it's not news for them to train actors to tears on set.
Even though many of the contestants present are old hands who are already somewhat famous or have even won awards.
But they don't believe Zhang Laomou and Chen Daomin will show mercy because of that....
They can already imagine the scene of being ruthlessly scolded on stage...
And in a corner of the lounge.
Su Chen frowned deeply, looking at the scene before him in disbelief.
He.... has he transmigrated?!
