Chapter 103: The 103rd New Script
After the broadcast on the eve of the group formation, Xu Qingye updated another Weibo. He not only posted the group list but also wrote the approximate ranking. He just deliberately wrote two wrong. After writing it, he also @ed the entertainment industry Hammer Brother who mocked him.
The No. 1 whistleblower in the entertainment circle: @Entertainment Circle Hammer Brother, I have written my list, you should write one too, do you dare to take a gamble?
Netizens were the first to be excited by Xu Qingye's provocation, but some were unhappy. The reason for their unhappiness was that the list released by Xu Qingye did not include the trainees they supported.
Make a little fortune: Can’t it have my brother’s name? Baobao, can you add my brother’s name?
Xiao Cai wants to eat meat today: Fight, fight, I want to see you dance!
If it’s not a weird CP, I won’t ship it: Hehe, my babies are all here, we will sleep in the same dormitory from now on, hehehehe~
······
Xu Qingye had done a lot of provocative things, and he would usually get a reply immediately. But today, he waited for a while and there was no response from the other party, so he suddenly felt a little bored.
The big account has revealed a lot of information recently, basically all kinds of love gossip, which is actually quite boring. Qingcheng Film and Television has a long life, so he continued to reveal some information. Until now, the lawsuit of Qingcheng Film and Television has not been completely concluded. Xu Qingye no longer wants to continue this long story.
After the draft is over, he will be quiet for a while, and then make a big splash after a while!
Most people agree with Xu Qingye's list and ranking. Those who like to watch talent shows are basically more experienced fans, and they can basically tell which ones are royals and which ones are scripted.
However, many people disagree with Xu Qingye's statement that Song Nanxi is the C position. Song Nanxi was the initial C, and his subsequent performance has been very good. He has received strong ratings in all aspects. Several times, there were obvious royal families who wanted to PK him, but he won with his strong strength.
Song Nanxi was originally supposed to be a hero, with strong abilities but bad luck. He was eliminated after a few rounds, but now he has made it to the finals. Many people think that he is lucky to be able to debut and it is impossible for him to be the C position.
Xi Shui Chang Liu: Although I love my brother very much, it seems that he doesn’t have many resources, so it must be difficult for him to get the C position.
South With You: It’s great that Song Nanxi can make his debut, but I don’t dare to ask for the center position. Thank you teacher for your high expectations for him.
Jiang Family Strawberry Tower: Don’t be so pessimistic. Teacher Jiang is most optimistic about Song Nanxi. It’s not impossible for him to be the C position. I am optimistic about him.
Cao's Duck Neck: Song Nanxi flies bravely, the stream will always follow him, and the C position is no problem!
······
While the online discussion was heated, Song Nanxi himself was being scolded. The person scolding him was not someone else, but his own father. He played a piece of piano on the stage, but as soon as he got his phone, his father called him.
Song Nanxi's father is a well-known pianist. He has been training Song Nanxi to learn piano since he was a child. Unfortunately, Song Nanxi's talent does not seem to be in the piano. After studying for a while, he really does not have much talent. Song's father gave up and asked him to learn vocal music. He studied for many years. Later, Song Nanxi learned street dance and developed step by step towards the direction of an idol. Song's father became more and more dissatisfied with him.
"What a mess you're playing! I think you've forgotten everything I taught you. Practice again when you get home and don't embarrass me."
After Song's father finished speaking, he smiled secretly again. Recently, many people who came to his house praised Song Nanxi, which made him feel very happy. Although he did not grow up as he expected, he finally looked good and became a very outstanding person.
"How can I have time to practice piano? Didn't you give up a long time ago?"
Song Nanxi had a bitter face. Who on earth stipulated that a pianist's son must be able to play the piano? It's not that he can't play, it's just that his level is a little lower.
"Since you've played it, let's talk about it. I'll wait for you to come back."
After hanging up the phone, Song Nanxi had a bitter face. If he was really interested in playing the piano, he would have passed the tenth level exam long ago.
"What's wrong? Why are you so unhappy?"
Sun Yichen looked at Song Nanxi's expression and spoke with concern.
"My dad said I played the piano so badly and told me to go home and practice, but I don't have the time."
"You play the piano so well and yet you still get scolded? It seems your father is very capable."
"Well, my dad is a pianist, the kind that can give his own concerts. Too bad I'm not interested in piano."
Song Nanxi spread his hands and glanced at Sun Yichen.
"What about your family? They say you are a royal family. Are you a prince?"
"Hahahahaha. What nonsense are you talking about? You really don't understand and you are pretending not to understand."
Sun Yichen laughed out loud. Sometimes he really couldn't tell whether Song Nanxi was being sarcastic or not.
"I don't quite understand. Could it be that your family is very rich, so you bought a place?"
"You're really direct. But what you said is pretty much the same. This show is hosted by Strawberry TV, and I'm a Strawberry TV artist, so they're naturally more willing to promote me. So from the beginning, my debut position was fixed."
"Is that so? But you can make your debut on your own. Your ability is not bad, just a little bit worse than mine."
Song Nanxi stretched out her fingers to indicate the distance. At first, they were quite far apart, but when she saw Sun Yichen staring at her, she shortened the distance between her fingers a little bit.
"You seem quite confident. Let's see who takes the C position. Want to make a bet?"
"I won't bet. You are a royal family. I will definitely lose if I bet with you."
Song Nanxi shook his head. The other party had already made their identity clear. Why should he, a small character, compete with others? The C position would not pay more. Anyway, as long as he could make his debut, it would be fine.
"You are defying fate and changing the script. The royal family was wiped out by people like you. Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to hurry up and practice."
Sun Yichen slipped away quickly. If he said a few more words, he would be angry to death. The distance between Song Nanxi's two fingers was so far at the beginning. In his heart, he must be far behind him.
The group's formation night is next week. Sun Yichen looked at the news online and found that many people are optimistic about Song Nanxi. He probably won't be able to debut as the center. It's not easy to promote someone. If people don't want him to be, then even if he becomes the center, he will only face backlash.

Shen Que went out again. He sent the script to Xu Qingye. It only contained a rough outline of the story and biographies of the characters. The two films had very different styles. One was an art film "Night Covered" and the other was a business war film "Undercover".
Art films are definitely the first choice for winning awards, but they can easily fall into the dilemma of selling well but not being a box office hit, and may earn nothing but fame.
Money? Art film directors don’t make any money, so how much can they pay?
Commercial films are made to make money. As long as they don't fail too badly, they can make a lot of money. This is the choice between fame and fortune.
Shen is indeed not short of money, so he only needs to consider what he likes.
Unfortunately, there is no specific script. "Night" is a low-budget movie, which can give the male lead role, and "Infernal Affairs" gave the second male role, a corporate spy, and the character setting is pretty good.
Xu Qingye took a look and thought that both films could be made. "Night" could be used to get award nominations or something to show his strength, and "Infernal Affairs" could make some money and demonstrate its box office appeal.
Xu Qingye: Take pictures of them all, they are all good!!!
Shen Que was silent for a while when he saw Xu Qingye's reply.
Shen Que: You are a little too confident in me. Just take any role you audition for.
Shen Que actually prefers "Night Is Full". He personally prefers watching some art films. Some stories that happen to ordinary people are easier to resonate with, and simple stories actually require more delicate interpretation to touch people's hearts. In comparison, "Night Is Full" is more challenging for acting skills.
Commercial films have a fixed format, and many times performances only require following a formula without making any mistakes. Commercial films rely mainly on the story and post-production, and the actors' acting skills contribute less.
"Night Covered" is a somewhat complicated story. The story begins at the husband's funeral. A mysterious man appears at the funeral. He stands there crying sadder than anyone else. The woman becomes curious about the sad man. She wants to ask about his relationship with her husband, but before she can open her mouth, the man has already run away quickly.
Next was a diary that was found when she was sorting out her husband's belongings. In the diary, he kept mentioning a person. In the diary, he wrote about how deeply he loved the other person and how he missed him day and night.
The diary was too explicit, and the wife felt like she was falling into an icy cave. She had to know the truth, so she began to investigate.
After starting the investigation, she discovered another side of her deceased husband, a side completely different from what he showed. In addition to her, he also had a homosexual lover. The wife suddenly remembered the man who appeared at the funeral that day.
The man was extremely handsome, just like the description in her husband's diary. The diary said that he was so handsome that he had no gender, like an elf in a fairy tale. He sat there quietly, making people unable to take their eyes off him.
The beauty of the story lies in the fact that the protagonist's husband is already dead at the beginning, leaving the two survivors to piece together his life, and when the scattered pieces are put together, they are all victims.
The role that Shen Que was auditioning for was the gay lover. Actually, he was a little young and not particularly suitable for the role. This role required a certain amount of experience to play well. Shen Que's face was too young, so the production crew was not optimistic about him at the beginning.
After the trailer of "Dawn Breaking" came out, they decided to let Shen Que give it a try. Shen Que's appearance in "Dawn Breaking" was very mature and did not look like a young man in his early twenties at all.
The main thing is that he performed that feeling of vicissitudes of life.
Of course, they would be more inclined to find an older actor, and the decision is mainly based on the feeling of the audition.
The main reason for choosing Shen Que was his face. According to the setting, the male protagonist is very handsome, and because of his excessive good looks, he often attracts rumors. Because of this, he dared not reveal his homosexual identity and kept disguising himself in life until he met that man.
When Shen Que first received the script, he was a little surprised. In the setting, the male lead was already 30 years old, which was 10 years older than he was. He had never thought that the script would be handed to him. He thought there would be some scenes of the male lead's youth, but in the end there were none.
Shen Que confirmed with the other party several times before starting to prepare for this audition, which was quite a challenge for him.
It is easy for a young person to play a young person, and it is not difficult for an older person to play a younger person. However, it is difficult to let an inexperienced young person play a middle-aged person. Their lives are too short and they have experienced too few stories, so it is difficult for them to perform the demeanor of a middle-aged person. Shen did not have too high expectations and just regarded it as a formality.
