Chapter 13 Rehearsal(1/2)
Xu Rong gradually summarized a very interesting performance method.
Lin Yongjian, Ren Zhengbin, and Zhang Xilin were not newcomers. After starting to be wary of his improvisation, his reactions were often beyond his expectations.
In the face of feedback from the fellow performers, Xu Rong had to put in more energy to deal with it.
This process is equivalent to asking him to ask himself a problem, and sometimes, when facing feedback from others, he can't handle it, or he can't think of how to handle it for a while.
But he gradually discovered that this was a way to deeply explore his own potential and experience. Under a moment of time and pressure, he could occasionally burst into inspiration that even he was surprised.
It's just a little bit bad and too tired.
In early September, Xu Rong temporarily returned to the capital with his bag on his back.
Although he and Lin Yongjian were both shortlisted for the Feitian Awards Outstanding Actor, Xu Rong's date for returning to the capital was two days earlier. When the filming plan was formulated, the crew should have considered him attending the Feitian Awards Ceremony.
In addition to attending the award ceremony, as the starring of this year's hit drama "The Hidden", he also had to go back in advance to prepare for some rehearsals of the award ceremony.
Nowadays, if there is no special situation for ordinary awards, he will decide according to the notice. If he is idle, he will attend, and if he is busy, he will ask Jin Fangfang or ask a familiar friend to receive the award. As for the performance, he is even more grateful to Bumin.
The reason why the Feitian Award program is its own particularity.
Unlike the two grand prizes of Magnolia and Golden Eagle, Feitian is an extremely unique award in the field of TV dramas. Its distinctive feature is its authority in some aspects.
The degree of authority can be seen from some things. Once the selection results are released, no media or relevant personnel have issued a single word of doubt.
The hosts of the Feitian Awards ceremony have always used the Spring Festival Gala hosting lineup.
Coincidentally, this year is a special year. After all, the organizer's attention must be improved compared with previous years.
The members of each award jury are all drawn from the propaganda department, literature and art departments.
Such a lineup of judges may not be fair from the perspective of artistic diversity, but for domestic media, it is simply authoritative to bring authority back to my grandma's house and authority to my grandma's house.
In terms of influence and credibility, they are important.
It is precisely because of this that the Feitian Awards Ceremony and the Magnolia and Golden Eagle have certain characteristics of entertainment for the public. For example, the Feitian Awards' red carpet is very short, and it is not a one-on-one walk, but a group walk according to the crew and quickly enter the venue after taking a photo.
Xu Rong needs to rehearse two programs, one is the opening poem recitation and the other is the chorus at the end of the award ceremony.
The first program was so popular that "Luxing" had a few words, and the second one was probably because of being shortlisted and going to the station.
Xu Rong's mentality is very relaxed, and it is not enough not to relax. The mechanism held by Feitian and Golden Eagle the next year is not very friendly to any actor who intends to win the Feitian Award, because he will compete with all the outstanding TV actors within two years.
For example, this year, in addition to popular TV series such as "Golden Wedding", "Crashing the Kanto", "Soldier Assault", "Struggle", "My Corps Commander My Corps", "Legend of Bruce Lee", "Sweet Honey" and "Going to the West", there are also competitors with great ratings and reputation in some regions, including "High Latitude Shiver", "Stories of Plowing Fields", "Zhou ** in Chongqing", "Stories of Jinggangshan", "Great Craftsman", "National Action", "Quiet Birch Forest", "Spring Grass", "Hundred Thousand Family", etc.
Compared with previous years, this year is a fight between gods.
Moreover, there is a slight difference from the previous three works that entered Magnolia. The Feitian Award judges directly kicked "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" out of the selection threshold.
Not in line with the main theme.
This is the distinctive feature of the Feitian Award. As long as the main theme is not up to standard, no matter how high the ratings and reputation are, it will have no meaning.
However, in Feitian this year, he was shortlisted for three works. Although "The Deep Down" was kicked out, "Harbin Under the Night" has made up for the vacancy, and it should be not difficult to get a nomination with "Luxing".
"Teacher Xu, Teacher Xu, here."
As soon as he left the pick-up port, Xu Rong saw Xiao Zhang, who was waving at him with a bag cross-body and waving at him with his toes. Looking at Xiao Zhang, he suddenly felt a little guilty. Xiao Zhang's bag, clothes, and shoes were bought when he was in school.
He is indeed owing some foreign debts at the moment, but it is only six million, which is not much. In addition, the housing prices that have soared after the Chinese New Year this year, maybe he shouldn't have lived a tight life.
Now, the house has more than doubled compared to the price he bought. Although it has not met his initial expectations of doubling in a year, the investment is still relatively cost-effective at present.
Xiao Zhang found that Xu Rong did not come back with her suitcase and asked, "Teacher Xu, how many days will you stay at home this time?"
"I'll be there after the award ceremony."
Xu Rong looked at her short-sleeved jeans and white shoes and said in surprise: "Are you not going to work today?"
"Go to go, I've gone to check in the morning. I'll take a detour later and just go to get a get off work card." Xiao Zhang took the package from him and said, "I knew I should have been serious when I signed up. I went to the People's Art Theater. They have more performances, but the tickets are a bit expensive. My monthly salary is not enough to watch a few scenes."
"Let's go back and wait before the New Year. When I visit you, I will take you with me. In the future, no one will stop you when you go in to watch the show."
Xiao Zhang blinked his eyes and asked, "Are you going to give gifts to someone?"
Because when Xu Rong visited, she drove her car and drove her car to the Human Arts Family Courtyard.
"It depends on how ugly you said. What kind of ritual can a little fruit be called?" Xu Rong gave her a blank look, "This is a ritual exchange between colleagues."
"Hmph, you will talk nonsense." Xiao Zhang didn't believe it, and said with his fingers, "Look, the first time is to deliver fruit, the second time is to send tobacco and alcohol. When the third time is there a local specialty."
"Then then people will definitely tell you with a stern face, Xiao Xu, I won't be the case."
"Hahaha."
Xu Rong looked at Xiao Zhang in surprise and said, "Hey, it's not bad, have you discovered this?"
"I'm not stupid." Xiao Zhang gave him a blank look, "I'll do it. Around the Chinese New Year last year, we spent about one million just to deliver things to people."
Xu Rong frowned and said with uncertainty: "Sure, are there so many?"
"Yes, some of them were bought by us, and some were given to us by others. If you don't believe it, I'll let you see my notebook."
Xu Rong nodded and said, "Don't worry, the fewer and fewer things to be given in the future."
As Xiao Zhang said, these things were given out not only to see people, but also to see how many times they came to the door. Like familiar TV stations, schools, TV associations, film and television companies, and several elders, he never took action.
This is also the reason why he was able to make a fortune in the TV series market.
The statement of God of Wealth does not mean literally to seek benefits for the TV station.
The money was spent, which also led to his becoming the target of major TV drama producers, because the TV station would buy his plays one after another.
When he arrived at the garage and got in the car, Xiao Zhang suddenly reached out and touched his legs.
Xu Rong was startled, held her hand, glanced at the passing car next to her, and said, "Xiao Zhang, don't worry, let's talk about it when we go home."
"Hmm?" Xiao Zhang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed "haha, goose, goose, goose," thanks to the fact that after getting in the car, she habitually tied her seat belt, otherwise she would have to turn to the back seat.
Xu Rong looked at her and asked, "Why are you laughing at?"
"Teacher Xu, your mind is too unhealthy. I just want you to see something."
"Oh, you said it earlier. I thought you wanted to see my good baby."
"Oh, Teacher Xu, you hate it."
Xiao Zhang laughed, took out a notebook from the storage box, handed it to him, and said, "I received another script the day before yesterday. I feel it's OK. See if I want to answer it?"
Xu Rong didn't look open, but turned her head and asked, "Female first?"
"And!" Xiao Zhang nodded proudly, "I'll go check in first, and then we'll go home."
Xu Rong opened the first page and was about to take a closer look. If there was a good book, Xiao Zhang should not miss it.
Although his ability to choose books is fair, he can still judge the basics of good or bad. The plot is self-consistent and logically reasonable.
The spiritual core is sometimes not applicable. For example, "Struggle", if you deduct the title of the drama, you have a nonsense spiritual core.
Now, he has figured out a set of ways to distinguish the quality of the script.
Is there any desire to attract him to turn to the next page?
Because when he got the script, his identity was essentially equivalent to that of the audience.
These are only the prerequisites for ensuring ratings. The production level of the film must be considered later, but it must be measured based on the investment scale and the specific production staff.
The family became deserted again. Aunt Wang returned to his hometown in Anshan a while ago. He went out to film. Xiao Zhang had to go to work during the day, and Aunt Wang was fine if she was here alone. The key point is that Xiao Zhang's father has not retired yet. Aunt Wang has lived in Beijing for half a year, and probably has to worry about her family.
It was another busy time. After dinner, Xu Rong sat in the living room, flipping through Xiao Zhang's script. In fact, after barely watching the first episode, he lost the urge to watch the second episode.
However, the excitement of some scenes is often the third episode, so he is still patient and tries to finish the scripts of the first five episodes.
Xiao Zhang fed a strawberry into his mouth and said, "Teacher Xu, come and eat a strawberry."
"I just washed the dishes, washed my clothes, and cleaned the room. By the way, the bath water has been put in place. The temperature is just right. Do you go and take a shower first?"
Xu Rong slowly turned his head with a strawberry in his arms, frowned, looked at Xiao Zhang, and asked, "Did you hide something from me?"
Xiao Zhang blinked and asked, "Why do you ask that?"
"I feel like you are a bit too diligent today. Didn't you just say that I'll wash the dishes later?"
Xiao Zhang took out a piece of paper, wiped the water stains on his hands, pointed to the direction of the bedroom upstairs, and said, "Don't you know what you should do?"
Xu Rong turned around and put the script on the sofa, pinched her chuckling face and said, "Then I'll go take a shower first."
After a day off at home, Xu Rong rushed to the Water Cube to attend the rehearsal of the Feitian Awards Ceremony.
But when he arrived at the place and heard the director Xia Dao's arrangement, Xu Rong was surprised and even flattered.
Li Youbin knelt him with his elbow and whispered: "Why are you standing there? Thank you Director Xia, why don't you hurry up."
"Thank you, director."
Xia Dao waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, no one is more suitable than you."
Xu Rong held the lyrics and prepared on one side of the stage, looking at Li Youbin with a smile and said, "Hey, leader, look at the director's arrangement, is my wrist so big?"
Li Youbin gave him a blank look and said, "You have taken advantage of the young and beautiful appearance. If I were twenty years younger, would you still have nothing to do with you?"
"Yes, maybe you can get the magnolia."
Li Youbin was anxious on the spot: "Damn it, monk, I must kill you today. If you have the will, don't run away."
