After Xu Rong presided over this year's talent recruitment examination and arranged teachers for each of the six newcomers, he officially started preparing for his film debut.

As expected, Xiao Zhang entered the humanities and arts field, but Xu Xing, who also passed the preliminary examination, failed the re-examination which he personally took charge of.

Apart from the foundation she was forced to lay by him in the past, she has not made any progress at all, and she has also learned many bad habits.

Even though he was the examiner, Xu Rong was still not open-minded. Like Xu Xing, even if he entered the academy, even if he would not be fired for his sake, he would never get a role within five years.

If I have that time, I might as well take advantage of my youth and film more idol dramas to earn some money.

After this recruitment, it is estimated that Pu Cunxin and the Arts Committee will never let him preside over the exam again. The original plan was to recruit 15 people this year, but under his strict standards, he did not even reach half of the quota.

At the beginning, Xu Rong also recruited 15 people, but when it came to the written test, which he thought should be the easiest, he killed most of the candidates who passed the interview.

There are many candidates who cannot even answer the relatively basic three elements of action, which proves that today's young actors basically rely on instinct in acting.

The final result of this kind of acting method is that if you meet a suitable role, you can perform it equally well or very well. If you don't meet it, you can only act hard.

While Xu Rong was preparing for the new play, the 25th Golden Eagle Awards jury held its first meeting.

Li Ming, director of the jury and vice chairman of the Visual Arts Association, looked at the nomination lists submitted by the judges and his brows gradually furrowed into the Chinese character Sichuan.

The problem still lies with Xu Rong, because he alone has nominated five dramas: "Latent", "A Beautiful Wife's Era", "The North Wind Blows", "Harbin at Night", and "The Golden Age".

To be fair, if these plays were performed by others, they could all be nominated, but focusing on one person would be a bit inappropriate.

In particular, the two national-level TV series "Latent" and "The Beautiful Era of Daughters-in-law" are the peaks in their respective fields.

Li Ming gently put down the compiled list of nominations, glanced at everyone in the conference room, and said: "Everyone, everyone should have seen it. There are a total of fourteen plays, and Xu Rong has five of them. Let's talk about them."

Just have your own opinion."

After his words fell, there was a silence in response to him.

Because everyone knows that Xu Rong, who has released five major dramas in two years, even Sun Honglei in "The Righteous Path of the World" and Wang Zhifei in "The Great Qin Empire" have little chance of winning.

The Golden Eagle Emperor was voted by the audience. Regardless of Sun Honglei or Wang Zhifei, their influence among young people combined is not as much as that of Xu Rong, who was born in Spy and idol drama.

"Twenty-four-year-old Grand Slam."

Someone sighed, making the silence in the conference room deeper and deeper.

"Is it possible to award him the Performing Arts Award? After all, the most popular actor is voted by the audience, so any result is possible, right?" Someone suggested without confidence.

No one echoed his words. In previous Golden Eagle voting, the organizers would make certain fine-tuning based on the results, but now Xu Rong is riding on the huge momentum of five major dramas, leaving no room for them to operate.

If they really do that, not only will the audience not agree, but the media will scold them to pieces.

I didn’t expect that the Feitian Award jury, which was composed of a super luxurious judging panel, all awarded the Best Actor to Xu Rong.

"Tuk-tuk."

Li Ming gently knocked on the table twice, and after all eyes were focused on him, he said: "I want to ask you a question. Who can you think of among the TV actors born in the 1970s?"

"Director Li, what do you mean?"

Li Ming faced everyone's doubtful gazes and said with a smile: "It's just a normal chat, let's hear everyone's opinions."

"There are quite a few, Chen Jianbin and Huang Xiaoming."

"And Chen Kun, Deng Chao, Liu Ye, not all."

Li Ming nodded gently, turned around and asked: "Then I would like to ask another question. Who can you think of among the actors born in the 1980s?"

Everyone understood Li Ming's plan at this time, but because of this, no one answered.

Li Ming just made it clear that he wanted to suppress Xu Rong.

Li Ming had no scruples, but they were all practitioners in the TV drama industry, and secret voting was acceptable. If they agreed openly, who knew whether it would reach Xu Rong's ears.

Seeing that no one was talking, a chubby middle-aged man chuckled twice and said, "Isn't there another one named Hu, Hu or something like that?"

Li Ming glanced at him and said, "What are you talking about? Hu Ge."

"Oh, yes, Huge."

Li Ming was noncommittal and said: "You are aware of the problem. Last year, Sword and Sword III starring Hu Ge was broadcast, but it was completely suppressed by "Latent". And this problem is not caused by age. Previously, he was 70

A generation can be said to have thousands of sails competing and hundreds of teams vying for success, but now, the entire 1980s generation, including

The earlier batch of actors in the 80s and 81s are already thirty years old. According to the development momentum of the 70s generation, they should have risen long ago. However, in today's TV drama industry, there is no second actor who can compete with Xu Rong.

If this continues, it will not be a good thing for the development of the entire domestic TV drama industry."

"Then what does Director Li say we should do?"

Li Ming seemed to have had an idea for a long time, and said without hesitation: "I suggest that Xu Rong be nominated only for "Latent" and "The Beautiful Era of Daughters-in-law."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately objected: "I don't agree. No matter "The North Wind Blows", its artistry or influence should not be buried. If there are no accidents, this work should be the best in the history of TV dramas.

era, period drama

It is not that there are no better ones than it in the past. In the future, it is basically impossible that there will be better reputations and higher ratings than it. If such a drama cannot be shortlisted, then

What kind of talent does it take to be shortlisted for "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower"?"

"I don't agree with it either. The Golden Eagle Award is an authoritative award in the national TV drama industry. "Harbin at Night" and "The Big Deal", one is a huge hit across the country, and the other is rated by various TV stations in the South. They are almost all in the top three in word-of-mouth.

If these two dramas are not nominated, the audience may question the professionalism of our jury."

The meeting reached a deadlock again. Everyone knew that Li Ming was right. Xu Rong's own existence was a nightmare for TV drama actors of his generation. There was no chance of him emerging. However, from the perspective of the fairness of the award, if he deliberately did not

Nominating his other works, without the need for audience voting, would probably arouse huge criticism across the country.

Li Ming spread his hands and said: "My fellow judges, I am not intending to suppress Xu Rong, but I am promoting healthy competition in the TV drama industry. For the male actor award, a total of 14 dramas were nominated. Ka, one actor accounted for it.

Five popular dramas, more than a third of them, the audience ranges from old to young, from men to women, you think about it, think about it carefully, as an audience, if you don't vote for it, you can't bear to watch those

Drama?"

"But on the other hand, how many votes can other actors get? Do you want to be satisfied when the number of votes for the second place is not even a fraction of his?"

Seeing that everyone was still silent, Li Ming knew that they were afraid of offending others, so he used his trump card and said: "This is not my personal idea. I have talked about this with Xu Rong some time ago, and he also agreed."

After the words fell, Li Ming saw everyone sitting there looking at him blankly and said: "Don't be dumbfounded, let's vote."

On the other side, Xu Rong closed her cell phone and looked up at the Shanghai Run sign on the building, feeling complicated for a moment.

He came here today not to see Jin Fangfang. Jin Fangfang has officially resigned from Hairun and is busy preparing for the studio.

His contract with Hairun has expired.

Five years have passed by in a flash.

He has grown from a little actor with nothing to a big shot who already knows the results before the Golden Eagle judging panel meeting is over.

The experience of five years is much richer than the past eighteen years, and it is also more dangerous and complicated. One step wrong, one wrong word, and it will be doomed.

But fortunately, everything is over.

He came to see another person today, Liu Yanming.

As soon as he walked in, Liu Yanming smiled, stood up from his desk, and said, "I thought that after your contract expired, you would never come to me for a drink again."

Xu Rong sat on the sofa and said, "Look what you said, if it hadn't been for the support of the company, I wouldn't be where I am today. How could I do that kind of thing."

"Hahaha." Liu Yanming said, pointing to several documents on the table, "Just wait for me for a few minutes, and I'll finish signing and approving these two documents."

"OK."

After leaving the door and getting in the car, Xu Rong said: "Actually, you have to learn to leave the work to others. A person's energy is limited. Even if he is made of iron, he cannot withstand your working method."

Liu Yanming sighed and said: "If they can do it, why don't I let them do it? The key is that they can't do it."

"Do you know what you look like?"

Liu Yan looked at the smiling Xu Rong in surprise and asked, "What does it look like?"

"Like an old hen, you always protect others under your wings, lest they be blown by the wind or beaten by the rain."

Liu Yanming waved his hand with a wry smile and said: "It's not like that, it's just that last time I had an operation, I couldn't lie down for a moment. I was worried about this and scared about that. In fact, it was just like this. Everyone in the company was waiting.

Let me make up my mind. If your sister-in-law hadn't stopped me outside the ward and rushed to the hospital, if I had been lying in the hospital for three months, the company would have closed down."

"Actually, I think you might as well let them do it. If you don't do it, it will never work."

"Let's talk about it later."

Liu Yanming responded thoughtfully, turned around and asked, "You're not here to tell me this today, are you?"

"Of course not." Xu Rong shook his head, "I've prepared a bottle of good wine for you to try, and I have a question for you."

After arriving at the hotel, Xu Rong revealed the reason for his visit: "Have you seen "The Ming Dynasty 1566"? It's the movie I shot a few years ago, directed by Zhang Li."

Liu Yanming's grasp of the TV drama market, especially the overall grasp, is one of the best that Xu Rong knows so far.

Although Hairun has produced fewer and fewer hits in recent years, the TV series Hairun has invested in are all profitable.

This alone puts us ahead of 99% of our domestic peers.

“I’ve watched a few episodes and it’s quite interesting.”

Liu Yanming nodded first, then suddenly smiled and said, "But having said that, in comparison, your performance is really not that good."

"hehe."
