Chapter 372 New Clothes

On the day of the open class, while netizens were having fun in various ghost videos involving Xu Rong, a trend of "artificial silence" suddenly became popular in the film and television industry.

The cause of the incident was a video posted on the day of the speech, with the ID "I am not Li Dan" and the note is "Internationally renowned director".

In the video, Li Xuejian was wearing a half-old gray sweater, holding a wheat in his hand, imitating Xu Rong's tone and lines, and slowly said: "At present, many people think that they have acting skills and even have very strong professional skills. They brag about themselves on shows everywhere. In fact, they have just learned to act, and even Lian can't act."

As with Xu Rong, when he said this, his voice stopped abruptly, but his mouth was still opening and closing normally. It seemed that the wheat suddenly broke. After a second, he realized that it was abnormal and lowered his head and looked at the wheat in his hand in confusion.

Then, Li Geng ran into the screen and said, "Teacher Li, sorry, it may be Mai Waila."

Li Xuejian looked down at the wheat in his hand, opened and closed his mouth and said "Hey" twice, then knocked his fingers twice, but there was still no sound, and he muttered, "Oh, okay, why is this broken?"

But his muttering was very clear.

Li Geng took Mai, checked over and over in confusion, and after a while, he said, "Would you try again?"

“Hey hey.”

"Hahaha, OK."

"I'm not Li Dan" also @ed "Actor Xu Rong" and "Diligent and hardworking Xiao Zhang". Unexpectedly, this "internationally renowned director" who could not be certified because the number of fans did not meet the minimum limit requirements, actually received comments from the "Big Thumbs" account of the two accounts "Actor Xu Rong" and "Diligent and hardworking Xiao Zhang".

Xu Rong's Weibo is no longer a secret in the operation of his studio, but later netizens discovered another magical account, "Diligent and hardworking Xiao Zhang".

That is, Xu Rong's girlfriend Zhang Xiaofei's Weibo, and she is extremely diligent and maintains at least three updates every day. It can be clearly seen that she is one of the girls who are deeply addicted to the Internet. Moreover, under this account, most Weibo posts are very lifelike, but occasionally, they will post some content with different styles.

Later, after comparison, netizens gradually discovered that those words of different styles were highly consistent with some of the remarks made by Xu Rong in public. It seemed that the account of "Diligent and hardworking Xiao Zhang" was the "husband and wife account" of Xu Rong and Xiao Zhang. Compared with the "actor Xu Rong" operated and certified by the studio, the real Xu Rong appeared under the vest of "Diligent and hardworking Xiao Zhang" more often.

When Li Xuejian's imitation video was commented on by "Actor Xu Rong" and "Diligent and hardworking Xiao Zhang" and hotly discussed by netizens, Xu Rong's close friend and classmate Yang Mi followed closely, and wrote a video that was exactly the same as Li Xuejian, and also @ed "Actor Xu Rong", "Diligent and hardworking Xiao Zhang", "I am not Li Dan", and quickly got the uniform evaluation of the three of them, "Good, good, passed!".

Although nominally, except for "actress Xu Rong", the other two of the three accounts did not have the qualifications to evaluate Yang Mi, but everyone knew that the one who was least qualified to evaluate was "actress Xu Rong", because "I am not Li Dan"'s vest was highly suspected of cat-picking Li Xuejian, and the comments of "diligent and hardworking Xiao Zhang" clearly had Xu Rong's extremely pretentious tone. As for "actress Xu Rong", it is not ruled out that it was the real Xiao Zhang to form a formation.

After receiving the endorsement of the famous veteran actor Li Xuejian and Xu Ronglian, director of the Central Academy of Drama Performance Department, Yang Mi's fans were in high spirits!

Yang Mi has been accompanied by various controversies in recent years, especially her professional level, and plastic surgery has been the two major controversies. However, Li Xuejian and Xu Rong endorsing at the same time have already pulled Yang Mi's foot out of the quagmire of "artists" and entered the ranks of "actors".

The industry and the industry were shocked to lose their chin when Li Xuejian and Xu Rong’s recognition of Yang Mi. Can they take off their hat as an "artist" with just one video?

After Yang Mi, Qi Wei, who had just been awarded the title of "Four Little Legend of National Drama" at the "Huiju Asia 2011 National Drama Ceremony", Tang Yan and others quickly caught up.

On the other hand, under the unintentional leadership of Li Xuejian, domestic drama actors followed suit.

As some famous actors familiar to the audience came to participate, driven by various reasons such as fame and fortune, curiosity, etc., the entire entertainment industry quickly became popular like dumplings.

However, after participating, many actors and artists suddenly discovered that this seemingly simple performance was far more difficult than expected.

Xu Rong has always praised three things in the industry: one is the strong public relations team behind him, secondly, his extremely high emotional intelligence, and thirdly, his superb acting skills learned by many famous teachers.

The reason why business capabilities rank third is not that its business level is not high, but that its first two items are too prominent, which conceals the role of its business capabilities. However, after trying the "artificial silence challenge", peers suddenly realized that Xu Rong's business level is a bit outrageous.

The normal performance of the malfunctioning state requires a comprehensive coordination of sound, stage, shape and appearance. The most difficult thing is that the two fingers are clicking, which has become the knot of the entire challenge.

It is not an absolute difficulty gap, but the mainland performance methods, especially academics. The purpose of teaching has changed from the past to the stage to the talent training base for the film and television industry. The difference in the form of stage performances and film and television performances naturally leads to the school not to put the importance of "voice", "stage" and "expression" above the "form".

But it is precisely because of the extremely difficult nature that it attracts a large number of participants.

Xu Rong, the director of the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama, has already said that "artificial silence challenge" is a standard for the "pass" of an actor's professional ability and the bottom line of red.

In the eyes of artist fans, his idol is the best idol on the planet, and Xu Rong’s so-called “minimum standard” is nothing more than Err. In order to prove to his relatives and friends that his idol is the best, fans began to spontaneously urge their idols to participate in the “artificial silence” challenge. Under the surging public opinion pressure, almost no one can survive.

Although some artists want to avoid participating in the challenge with a certain "disdain" attitude, after Li Xuejian, Chen Baoguo and Chen Daoming participated, some artists who hope to avoid being in an awkward situation by "nobleness" were almost blocked from both ends to dead ends by mainland actors led by Li Xuejian and mainland artists represented by Yang Mi.

Look, we all!

However, as more and more artists participated in the challenge, netizens gradually discovered the problem. It seemed that individuals could achieve what Xu Rong called the "bottom line."

From the actors at the beginning to the singers and artists later, everyone can easily reach what Xu Rong calls the bottom line.

At this point, netizens began to doubt the authority of Xu Rong's so-called standards, because many artists who have always been difficult to call actors in the past have also completed the "artificial silence" challenge extremely quickly.

On the second day of the open class, while Xu Rong was chatting with Zhang Heping, the deputy captain of the People's Art Theater Team was in the office.

Xiao Zhang and Song Yi sat side by side on the chair like two dumb geese. They had tried many times, but they failed.

"Sister Xiao Zhang, who has finished it?"

"My God, look, look." Xiao Zhang opened Weibo and looked at countless @六快's prompts, completely confused.

However, after turning on the phone, the two found that all the "@" followed by "What do you think of Teacher Xu?" Xiao Zhang was scattering videos one by one. Many people she had never heard of had completed the "artificial voice silence challenge" that she and Song Yi had not achieved for a long time.

Why, why is this happening?

Are everyone so awesome?

Song Yi looked at the VCR flashing one by one on the screen, and felt that a towering tree seemed to rise from the ground on the side of the Capital Theater Building. He and Sister Xiao Zhang were not sitting in Brother Xu's office, but were completely shrouded in the shadow of the giant tree called "Damn" in the yard.

"Tu tuk."

At the door, Wu Gang, with a long-faced face, looked at the two petite figures in confusion, knocked on the door twice, and when the two turned their heads and saw their faces, Wu Gang suddenly realized, "Who do I think? It looks like two junior high school students. It turns out they are you two."

Xiao Zhang looked at Wu Gang and asked in surprise: "Oh, why is Brother Wu coming?"

"Hey, look at what you said, I'm like an outsider?" Wu Gang's face tense, he coughed twice, and raised his hands on his back, "What Brother Wu, is it like? You want to call Teacher Wu."

"Hahaha."

Seeing that Xiao Zhang didn't take it seriously, Wu Gang knew that he couldn't scare her anymore, so he no longer forced himself. He pointed to Xu Rong's desk and asked, "Where is Xu Rong? I just heard from the security guard at the door saying that he is here to go to work?"

Xiao Zhang raised his chin in the direction of Zhang Heping's office and said, "Go to the dean to report on his work. Are you doing anything? I'll tell him when he comes back later."

"Actually, it's nothing. I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that he is back, come and have a look." Wu Gang knew that although Xiao Zhang was Xu Rong's wife, he had always been well protected by Xu Rong. She had a kind of almost blind trust in Xu Rong and would not take the initiative to influence Xu Rong to make certain decisions he wouldn't have made.

"Oh, he's gone for a while, probably he's going back soon."

"What are you two doing here? You are depressed. Why are you killed again?"

Song Yi looked at Wu Gang in shock. This incident was a pain in her heart, but this senior actually exposed her scars in person so bluntly?!

Xiao Zhang was waiting for Wu Gang angrily: "Oh, Brother Wu, are you so too much?"

Wu Gang still smiled and said, "What's the point of this? Don't talk about you, me, Brother Pu, Lao Ding, and Teacher Lan Tianye, so Teacher Zhi, the actors in our institute, who has never been killed?"

Song Yi said in a quiet tone: "Brother Xu."

Wu Gang was about to continue saying something, but was choked by Song Yi. The boss didn't breathe, and stared at Song Yi with a steady state until he felt uncomfortable in his sight. Then he said, "I'm not old and have a big striking moment. How many years has Xu Rong been in the yard?"

"I tell you that the more you are killed, the more you cannot admit defeat. You cannot learn from Hu Jun. Looking at a tough man, he ended up killing a show and was so scared that he didn't dare to come to power for ten years. He was a coward."

Xiao Zhang and Song Yi now understood what was going on, and Wu Gang was comforting them.

But Xiao Zhang didn't want to recall that at all, so he raised his phone and handed it to Wu Gang, saying, "Brother Wu, you can watch these videos, they are so amazing. They can do this challenge."

Wu Gang looked at it and was amused, "Hehe" and said, "It's all fake, this challenge is not that easy to complete."

Xiao Zhang and Song Yi looked at him together: "Fake it?"

Wu Gang slapped his chin and said, "When you recorded, just cut off the power supply at that point, it's very simple."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhang and Song Yi's eyes lit up immediately. They looked at each other and were about to go to the first floor to experiment, but Wu Gang said: "But that recording can only deceive the audience. You can tell at a glance that it is fake."

Xiao Zhang turned his head, frowned and looked at him, and asked, "Then, why, we can't see it?"

Wu Gang opened his glasses wide, looked at the two of them incredibly, pointed to the phone in her hand and said, "There are all flaws everywhere. Look, the mouth shape, expression, and movement are too obvious, are they all fake?"

Seeing the two of them looking at each other and then silently lowering their heads, Wu Gang almost laughed out loud, but he still forced himself to keep serious. While his face was full of shock, his eyes were circling around the faces of the two with awkward expressions, and asked in disbelief: "You guys, can't you not be able to see this, right?"

"Ah, where is it?"

"How is that possible?!" Xiao Zhang met Wu Gang earlier and immediately said confidently, "I've seen it a long time ago."

"That's right, we've seen it a long time ago."

"Just say it, it's so simple, I'll definitely see it long ago." Wu Gang chuckled and waved his hands at the two of them, "When Xu Rong comes back, I've come to see him."

It was not the two of Xiao Zhang and Song Yi who were confused. As netizens watched them all complete the "artificial sound silence" challenge, they couldn't help but start to doubt Xu Rong's words.

But Xu Rong, after all, is the serious director of the Central Academy of Drama Performance Department, more than a dozen film and television works that have triggered the screen, two phenomenal dramas, and several extremely innovative and pioneering papers, all prove that his professional ability is beyond doubt.

But what exactly lies in the problem?

As for netizens' questions, many media have called Xu Rong many times, but unfortunately, they have not been able to connect.

Then, the media chose several famous actors in the film and television industry who also participated in the "artificial sound silence challenge".

Unlike Li Xuejian, Chen Baoguo, chairman of the TV Association, answered the reporter's question in a very harsh tone when he received a phone interview: "If a person doesn't even want a face, what can you do, right?"

As for why he was "shameless", Chen Baoguo did not explain, but it made netizens understand that some people used some disgraceful means to achieve the challenge.

Many netizens have guessed the trick of cheating, but it is difficult to tell who wants to be faced and who has no face.

Most of the people who can be distinguished are senior practitioners like Li Xuejian and Chen Baoguo. Those who are so swayed and can slapped the faces of most industries will not dare to say a word even if they have to make a living in this industry.

Just like the emperor's new clothes, it is just a group of people who wear "new clothes".
