Bright Era of China Entertainment

Midnight, almost midnight.

In the bedroom of the big villa, the whole body was lit with bright white lights, and the sound of the hair dryer whistled endlessly.

Concubine Liu Yi, who had just taken a shower, was sitting in front of the dressing table, blowing her hair with a hair dryer in front of the mirror.

When Chu Xuan came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, Concubine Liu Yi glanced at him: "Help me pour a basin of hot water into the footbath, I want to soak my feet."

Chu Xuan put the pajamas on his head, and then put them on. Hearing Concubine Liu Yi's words, he asked in surprise, "Soak your feet after taking a bath?"

Concubine Liu Yi said "huh" and didn't say much.

Chu Xuan didn't think much about it, and acted according to Concubine Liu Yi's needs. After leaving the bedroom, he turned left to the balcony where the clothes were washed, picked up the footbath placed on the floor, and turned to the bathroom in the bedroom. He drank two-thirds of the basin of hot water, took some cold water, and walked out with the basin in hand.

Concubine Liu Yi stroked her hair, and when she saw that it was almost done, she turned off the hair dryer and put it on the dressing table, got up and went to the floor-to-ceiling windows to "swipe" the wide-open curtains shut twice.

"Where to put it?" Chu Xuan asked while holding the basin.

Concubine Liu Yi turned around, pointed to the position of the back chair in front of the dressing table, and walked over.

Chu Xuan put the basin down in front of the armchair, straightened up and went to the bedside table to pick up the text file of the program program to read again.

Just about to lie down on the bed, Concubine Liu Yi called him: "Chu Xuan."

Chu Xuan stood in front of the bed and looked over: "What's wrong?"

Concubine Liu Yi's bright eyes flickered, but she said with a frown: "My waist is suddenly so sore that I can't bend it down."

Chu Xuan looked at her for a few seconds, and Concubine Liu Yi blinked.

I have been fine today, but suddenly my waist is sore?
Chu Xuan laughed in his heart, he knew Concubine Liu Yi did it on purpose, but he didn't know what Concubine Liu Yi wanted to do.

"Shall I rub it for you?" he said.

Concubine Liu Yi shook her head and narrowed her eyes slightly: "Will you wash my feet?"

Chu Xuan was stunned, no wonder he had to soak his feet after taking a shower, the key point was here.

This witch has started acting like a demon again.

Chu Xuan closed the file, put it back on the bedside table, and walked towards Concubine Liu Yi.

The reason why Concubine Liu Yi wants to be a demon, he thinks that Concubine Liu Yi is jealous.

In the evening, Yang Mi came over out of nowhere and said something, and Concubine Liu Yi believed that she liked him.

In his mind, this incident was just a joke, but in Concubine Liu Yi's mind, it was not a joke, and it was impossible to treat such a thing as a joke.

Once girls are jealous, they will always think of some inexplicable ways to trick their boyfriends. This is a common problem among girls.

When Chu Xuan came to Concubine Liu Yi, the young couple looked at each other tacitly.

"This is the first time to help you wash your feet." Chu Xuan said casually, squatting down, putting his hands in the hot water, grabbing two little feet and kneading them. He didn't know how to wash his feet, so he could only do it as he wanted.

Concubine Liu Yi lowered her head and smiled, seeing that Chu Xuan was willing to help her wash her feet, she was very satisfied.

"Chu Xuan." She called softly.

"Huh?" Chu Xuan didn't look up.

"Do you think..." Concubine Liu Yi paused, "Did I think too much today?"

Chu Xuan lowered his head to help her press her feet, and said, "I can't help thinking about it, it means you love me very much; if you don't think about it, it means you don't care about me."

Concubine Liu Yi blinked and nodded slowly.

Chu Xuan is so good, she can imagine that there are other girls who like him.

It's just that she has been inseparable from Chu Xuan from the beginning until now, so she has never noticed this situation, and the thoughts in her heart have never gone in this direction.

When Yang Mi came out suddenly today, she was caught off guard and at the same time, her heart was indeed a little confused.

She had thought that she and Chu Xuan trusted each other and would not worry about such things.

But she was wrong. When this kind of thing happened, no matter how trusting she was, there would be worries.

Chu Xuan is right, because he loves her so much, and then cares about him, so he is worried.

"Then...will you be annoyed if I say it so bluntly about things like today?" Concubine Liu Yi stretched out her hand to touch Chu Xuan's earlobe.

Chu Xuan straightened up a little, took his left hand from the hot water and put it on his knee, looked up at Concubine Liu Yi: "If I don't love you very much, it might be annoying; but I love you, so I will listen carefully to what you say , and untie your worries in time."

Concubine Liu Yi frowned happily, and smiled at Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan reached into the hot water again and continued to pinch her feet.

Concubine Liu Yi leaned down, hugged her arms, and said, "Facing things that may affect the relationship between the two parties, Charlene in "Struggle" has always had conflicts with Lu Tao because she has been enduring it."

"So I think, instead of enduring it, it's better to simply confess for a few minutes. This will make you more comfortable and avoid possible conflicts."

"Indeed, this idea is very good." Chu Xuan praised it, but then changed the topic: "Under normal circumstances, when a girl thinks that another girl likes her boyfriend, she will basically hide it in her heart, or make sidelines, like you It’s really rare for someone to speak out like this out of nowhere.”

Chu Xuan looked up at her: "Since you played "Struggle", I found that you have become more and more individual."

Concubine Liu Yi raised her eyebrows, thought for a while and said, "It seems to be true."

Charlene in "Struggle" is very similar to her, and it is also the one that makes her feel the deepest among all the roles she has played.

Perhaps because of this, after she played this role, her thinking was subtly changed.

If Chu Xuan hadn't said it, she really wouldn't have noticed the slight change in her personality.

However, the real reason for her to change was the existence of Chu Xuan.

Concubine Liu Yi showed her face slightly: "After staying with you for a few years, I found that I am becoming more and more mature beyond my age."

The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth turned up slightly: "After staying with you for a few years, I found that I am becoming more and more emotional and more and more in love with my brain."

Concubine Liu Yi smiled and was amused.

Thinking back when Chu Xuan didn't dare to hold hands in the street, he was also afraid to hold hands with his mother when Xiangjiang was shopping.

But now, Chu Xuan is more romantic than her.

According to what his mother said, Chu Xuan was led astray by her.

Liu Yifei found it very interesting: "We are assimilating each other."

Chu Xuan answered her words, "This is love."

Concubine Liu Yi rested her chin on her left hand and nodded repeatedly, approving Chu Xuan's statement.

She looked down at Chu Xuan pinching her feet without any distaste, and suddenly seemed to press on a certain acupuncture point. A tingling sensation made her squint her right eye: "When we are old, will you still be willing to help me?" Wash your feet?"

"As long as I can move." Chu Xuan replied.

Concubine Liu Yi said softly, "Okay, you are tired after squatting for so long, thank you for your service, my boyfriend."

Chu Xuan took out his hands, put them on his knees, and looked up at her: "What reward is there?"

Concubine Liu Yi blinked, put her arms around Chu Xuan's neck, and kissed him heavily on the lips.

After a short talk and exchange, the turmoil in Concubine Liu Yi's heart turned into comfort.

As she said, it is better to be honest than to be confused.

It's past zero, and the moon is empty.

After turning off the light, the two cuddled together on the bed and talked softly about the work of the variety show, and fell asleep embracing each other naturally.

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Variety Park.

On the fourth floor of the dormitory building, in addition to the polygonal studio that occupies two-thirds of the floor, there is also a small studio that has been arranged as one of the meeting points for the students.

At this time, fifty students were sitting on chairs, communicating with each other, mostly discussing the next competition system.

The actor's variety show is the first in China, and they all have great interest.

The door was pushed open, and Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi walked in with a small notebook.

"Good afternoon, everyone." The two greeted each other warmly.

"Good afternoon." Everyone responded one after another.

Seeing the host came, everyone stopped communicating and calmed down to wait for the process to start.

Hong Tao walked towards Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi: "Mr. Chu, Producer Liu."

Since Concubine Liu Yi gained the identity of a producer, people who are not familiar with her usually call her Producer Liu.

Concubine Liu Yi wasn't used to it at first, but she gradually got used to it when there were more people calling her.

"Director Hong." The two greeted each other.

"If there is a mistake, I will stop it, but if it's just a small mistake, you can make it up in time and continue, and it will be edited later." Hong Tao reminded.

"Understood." Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi nodded.

There are cameramen in every corner of the room, each holding a machine or a fixed-point machine to prepare for shooting and recording.

According to the plan of the program group, the training, assessment, elimination, and promotion of the previous period will be played as a few minutes of clips at the beginning, and then a few minutes will be used to introduce the basic information of each student, as well as the situation of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei as teaching assistants, and then skip Go to the screen announcing the competition system and enter the feature film.

The hosts who announced the competition system were Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, that is to say, the first shot of the feature film would be given to them.

Hong Tao came to the host position and picked up the walkie-talkie: "Attention all positions, when Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi appeared in No. [-] shot, the recording started. Each position captured their own pictures according to the requirements of the sub-shot script, and reported any problems in time. .”

Film and television dramas have split-shot scripts, as do variety shows.

It’s just that compared with film and television dramas, variety shows have less demanding scripts and do not pay attention to nuanced presentation effects. They only need to provide pictures from different angles.

Facing the fifty students, Hong Tao said, "Everyone, don't be restrained, act casually, and behave as you want."

The fifty students nodded.

Seeing this, Hong Tao rushed to Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi and said, "Let's get started."

It was said that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei walked from the outside of the set to the inside of the set. When they appeared in the wide area in front of the students and faced the fixed-point No. [-] camera behind the students, each camera position also entered the working state.

The boom lens on the heads of Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu captures the frontal panorama of the students, the No. [-] lens behind the students takes pictures of Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu, the cameras on both sides of the students take side shots, and four cameramen take mobile shots , Real-time capture of pictures that may produce variety show effects.

Obviously, the number of members of the camera crew shooting variety shows is much larger than the number of camera crews shooting film and television dramas.

"Hi everyone, I am the student assistant of "I am an actor", Chu Xuan."

"I'm Concubine Liu Yi."

The students applauded in unison.

Chu Xuan held the microphone: "Before announcing the competition system, let me explain the status of assistant coach."

The students became a little interested. They are actors or hope to become actors. Although they feel kindly because Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei also participated in the show, they have never known what a teaching assistant is.

The previous offline and online publicity mentioned that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were teaching assistants, but they did not explain the purpose of setting up teaching assistants.

"During the two or three months of competition, we will always accompany you and witness your growth."

"During this period, if you encounter any difficulties, you can tell us, and we will do our best to help you solve them."

"For example, in the face of teachers' teaching problems, if you have questions but cannot explain clearly, you can tell us, and we will help you communicate."

Chu Xuan paused, and Concubine Liu Yi continued: "For example, if you have any problems during the filming process, you can also consult with us."

The students nodded slowly, probably understanding the role of teaching assistants.

Although the program has relatively fair rules to protect them, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Most of these students are newcomers, and it is normal to be cautious.

Moreover, "I Am an Actor" is a brand-new variety show, and every link needs to be adjusted, and even the program flow may have loopholes. Even if these students find loopholes, they may not dare to say it, and the teaching assistants serve as a bridge of communication. That identity is undoubtedly very important.

However, if the teaching assistant is replaced by another person, if the person's status is not high, the communication may be ineffective.

But Chu Xuan is the boss of Brilliant Times, and also the boss of this show, so there is nothing that Chu Xuan can't solve.

From this, they understood the significance of having Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei as teaching assistants, not only can they solve the problems that students like them may encounter, but also promote the smooth progress of the program.

"There is a box next to each seat, do you see it?" Concubine Liu Yi said.

The trainees looked down and saw the box next to the seat as soon as they entered, but the staff didn't let them move it, but they knew from the packaging that the box contained a mobile phone.

"This is a brand new backgammon music phone, it is also your communication tool in the show, and it is also a gift for your success in promotion." Liu Yifei said.

The students were stunned, and then they were pleasantly surprised.

"Can you take it away?" Lei Jiayin hurriedly asked, and the rest of the students looked at Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi.

"Of course you can take away your gifts." Concubine Liu Yi smiled.

"Thank you." Lei Jiayin thanked him carelessly, feeling that he came to the right place, not only food and accommodation, but also a brand new mobile phone?Awesome!
The students were all excited and incredulous. This was the first time they had encountered a mobile phone for participating in the program. It was unheard of before, and they even had one. This program group is really rich!
Seeing their excitement and excitement, Hong Tao smiled. The money was not paid by the program team, but by the sponsors. It was just a few dozen mobile phones, and it was less than [-].

In order to reflect its generosity, the BBK Group will definitely be remembered by the audience after the scene of giving away the mobile phone is broadcast, and the rewards brought by the effect of this advertisement may make BBK a huge profit.

"Your mobile phone address book has two phone numbers, which belong to me and Concubine Liu Yi. If you have any questions during the recording of the program, you can call us at any time." Chu Xuan said.

The students turned on their phones and looked, and sure enough there were two and only two stored numbers, one for Assistant Professor Chu and one for Assistant Professor Liu.

"Can I play in the middle of the night? For example, when I have trouble falling asleep and need to relieve my emotions." Zhang Luyi looked at the two of them with a smile.

Calling in the middle of the night?This is obviously a joke.

Chu Xuan said kindly: "You can fight, and I can blackmail."

The students laughed, making the atmosphere on the scene more cheerful, and the camera moved to capture this scene in time.

"Now, I will announce the rules of the competition system." Concubine Liu Yi said.

Hearing this, the scene quickly fell silent again.

Concubine Liu Yi flipped through the script, temporarily consolidated her lines, picked up the microphone and looked up at the crowd and said: "The first stage, free group battle."

Free group battle? ... The students have their own curiosity.

Concubine Liu Yi continued: "The program group provides a total of [-] episodes of film and television dramas, and the students with the highest scores in the assessment will select in turn, and then group themselves into groups."

She explained: "For example, Chen Chuang is the first in the assessment. Later, he will choose a clip first, and then send you an invitation. Who to invite, Chen Chuang himself decides. Those who are selected can refuse until the invitation Until the quota meets the number of fragments."

The students suddenly nodded and probably understood the rules.

"Is the segment a fixed role?" Chen Chuang asked, raising his hand.

"A fixed role." Chu Xuan said: "If you have watched this film and television drama, then you can choose a partner that suits this role according to your own impression."

"Understood." Chen Chuang nodded.

The trainees also fully understood that the person with the highest ranking selects the segment, and then sends an invitation to the rest, and they can also refuse.

After all, everyone's judgment is different. Others think you are suitable, but you may think that you are not suitable.

Perhaps other factors will also be mixed in, thereby rejecting the invitation of the person with the highest ranking.

The rules are very simple, but everyone knows that it is difficult to form a suitable match. In addition to testing people's vision, it also depends on luck.

But in any case, they have the right to choose independently, and such rules are relatively fair.

Concubine Liu Yi continued: "There are two-person, three-person, four-person, and at most five-person groups. You should consider carefully how to choose."

"In the competitive stage of free grouping, the four directors and judges each have three promotion cards, and the four actor judges each have two promotion cards."

"After each stage performance, the eight judges can immediately choose to use the promotion card to the students they think can advance, or they don't need to use the promotion card immediately. The promotion card will still be valid after all the performances."

"After all the stages are shown, [-] students will advance to the next stage, and [-] students are to be determined."

"At the same time, after each stage show, [-] audience members and [-] media judges will send text messages to the performers through BBK music mobile phones to rate them."

"One point for each audience member, ten points for each media judge, and a full score of [-] points."

"Among the [-] students to be determined, the top eight will be promoted based on their scores."

"In the end, in the first stage, 28 students will advance and 22 students will be eliminated."

Many students hissed, their expressions were complicated, and their nervousness came in a flash.

Almost half of them are eliminated in one stage, will it be their turn?Thinking about it is a little scary.

Thinking back to the competition system Liu Yifei said, they thought about it again.

According to what Concubine Liu Yi said, the eight judges have the most power in this stage, and they can decide [-] people to advance. This is good news for them.

Compared with the audience and the so-called media judges, the professionalism of these eight judges is unquestionable. They decide most of the promotion places, at least they are convinced.

As for the votes of the audience and media judges, it is up to the sky, no one knows what their judging criteria are.

Therefore, they have a common goal, which is to get the promotion card as much as possible and directly advance.

Concubine Liu Yi put down the script, turned the script upside down in her left hand, and said with the microphone in her right hand, "This is how the competition system for the first stage is. Do you have any questions?"

Students, I looked at you, you looked at me, and shook my head.

This rule sounds complicated, but it is actually very simple.

In the final analysis, the fight is still acting.

Whether it is the judges, the media judges or the audience, people with outstanding acting skills will definitely look at them differently.

Seeing that no one asked any questions, Chu Xuan picked up the microphone: "Then let's choose the clips now..."

Before Chu Xuan finished speaking, Concubine Liu Yi stretched out her hand to smack his arm, picked up the microphone and said, "Before choosing, let's toast with Yili pure milk. I hope everyone can get good film and television drama clips and roles .”

Chu Xuan was taken aback, this advertisement placement was his own line, but he forgot.

He glanced at Hong Tao, Hong Tao smiled and shook his head to indicate that it was okay.

Chu Xuan felt amused in his heart, fortunately Concubine Liu Yi made it up in time, otherwise he would have to re-record.

The students were also informed in advance by the staff, and when they heard Concubine Liu Yi talk about this process, they happily picked up a bottle of milk that had been prepared in advance and drank it together.

They have watched a lot of TV shows, but this is the first time they have encountered such ad placement.

Including the mobile phone at the front, they also realized that it was also an advertisement placement.

The placement of this ad is so smooth and smooth, it's really amazing.

Chu Xuan took the milk handed over by the staff, touched the milk in Concubine Liu Yi's hand, and the two of them drank it too.

Concubine Liu Yi blinked at her, and said with a low smile, "I've seen it so many times, I've forgotten all about it."

Chu Xuan couldn't help laughing, and replied in a low voice: "You have been talking about the competition system for a long time, and after you finish talking, I will subconsciously talk about the next process."

Hong Tao gestured to the two, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi stopped muttering, and returned the milk to the staff, while the students held the milk in their hands.

"Drinking Yili's pure milk helps us choose good film and television drama clips." Chu Xuan said, "Chen Chuang, you come first."

Concubine Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, the first half of the line was absent.

She suddenly laughed in her heart, is Chu Xuan trying to make up for her mistake?

Hong Tao and Long Danni looked at each other with a smile in the corner of their eyes.

Mr. Chu can do it, and even said a fresh commercial line, the sponsors have made money this time.

Entering the process of selecting clips, in a well-arranged compartment in the room, there are a dazzling array of cover cards of film and television dramas on two rows of display cabinets.

"Returning the Pearl", "The Wind and Cloud Heroes of the World", "Deep Love and Rain", "Shooting the Condors", "Dragon", "Sword", "Sculpture"...even the "Soldier Assault" which is still on the air There are movie and TV episodes.

There were a few shots followed by the students who picked the clips to shoot in the cubicle. When the students finished selecting, under the auspices of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, the students began to invite the students present again.

Some were happy with the invitation, while others refused in order to wait for what they thought was a better segment.

It was the first time to record such a program, and everyone present felt fresh and excited, except for Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi.

The students are sitting and they are standing.

Standing for hours in a row was really tiring.

Fortunately, at six o'clock in the afternoon, the students had their own groups, and today's recording ended.

"Legs are so sore." Concubine Liu Yi supported the escalator and went downstairs, and Chu Xuan, who was walking down the stairs side by side with her, couldn't help shaking his sore legs.

Hong Tao and Long Danni walked downstairs from behind, following their pace.

Long Danni said behind them: "Next, we need to help them arrange screenwriters and directors. There is no need to record these processes. When they enter the pre-performance teaching process, you need to participate."

"The audience is not familiar with many of them. After the show was broadcast, especially the daily content behind the scenes, the audience must have watched it for you at first."

"So, this requires you to participate in it, interact with each student, and drive the audience to pay attention to them."

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi nodded.

"This type of program is also being recorded for the first time. I don't know how much time it will take to communicate with the screenwriter and director. You can wait for my call. You can come before the call. If there are students who need your help with problems, you can do it according to your needs." , call me anytime you need my help." Long Danni explained the next situation.

"Okay." Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi agreed.

After finishing the business, Long Danni said again: "Teacher He is here, let's have a meal together?"

"Teacher He is here?" Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi glanced at each other, seeing that Concubine Liu Yi's eyes were full of desire to go home and rest, he declined and said, "Next time, I will break my leg after standing for an afternoon, next time I treat you."

Long Danni nodded, they are all acquaintances, and there are plenty of opportunities to eat.

After going downstairs, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi said goodbye: "Director Hong, Sister Long, let's go back first, and contact us anytime if we need anything."

"Okay." Long Danni and Hong Tao waved their hands, walking towards the cafeteria while watching the young couple drive away.
