Chapter 24: Recording of "Actors in Progress"
After the ambiguity that night, Shi Qing began to avoid Sheng Han.
That night was out of control!!!
It’s all because of that overly realistic erotic dream and the instincts that were infinitely magnified after waking up.
She and Sheng Han had sex again in such a ridiculous way!
Woo woo woo.
This made Shi Qing not know how to face him.
Their marriage began with her asking for help and an arranged marriage, and the so-called "cultivation of feelings" made her feel unsure.
Intellectually, she admitted that she liked Sheng Han.
From the heartbeat in high school to his repeated help now, the buried love has once again broken through the ground and quietly sprouted.
But the experiences of these years made her look at their relationship with pessimism.
The huge disparity in status between the two, as well as her current situation, puts her at a disadvantage in this relationship.
Could it be that he was just acting on a whim?
After all, falling in love at first sight, to put it bluntly, isn't it just lust at first sight?
She didn't dare to bet whether he would still treat her the same way when the beauty grew old.
Sheng Han, on the other hand, had no idea of the complicated thoughts in Shi Qing's mind.
He just experienced the emotional fall again.
And he still couldn't stop Shi Qing.
That night in the garden, he clearly felt that they had taken a step closer, but the way she looked at him returned to that polite yet distant manner, as if he were some kind of monster that needed to be kept away from.
Even Zhou Yuwen came over and asked him secretly: "Brother, did you make your sister-in-law angry again last night?"
Sheng Han was feeling irritated and increasingly unhappy.
At such a young age, you spend all day watching nonsense!
The crew's preparations before filming were carried out in an orderly manner, including readings, training, and costume fittings... The busy schedule became Shi Qing's best safe haven.
Before the official filming started, according to Xia Zhu's notice, she also had to participate in the recording of "Actors in Progress", which was located in a studio in the suburbs of Jincheng.
"Actors in Progress" is the ace variety show created by Triangle Video Platform, a reality show of acting competition.
The program team invited four mentors with relatively high status in the industry, two of whom are award-winning film directors, and one is a best actor and one is a best actress.
The first season took the Internet by storm when it aired, and received widespread acclaim for its sharp commentary and authentic behind-the-scenes filming.
What is even more attractive is that there is a 'Producer Observation Group' composed of 16 senior producers sitting in the guest seats. They have real film and television projects in their hands. Even if you lose in the competition, there is no guarantee that there will not be producers who will take a fancy to you and extend an olive branch to you.
This season, the program team went even further and adopted a 'panoramic live broadcast + post-production editing' broadcast mode.
Each participating actor will be assigned a dedicated PD to follow the entire process. The audience can freely switch perspectives in the live broadcast room and watch the entire process of their favorite actor from preparation to competition.
This form of unreserved exposure is a great test of the actors' professionalism and psychological qualities.
Shi Qing has been in the industry for many years, but apart from publicity, she rarely participates in variety shows and has very little experience in this area.
Standing outside the studio, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.
There were two other artists entering the venue with her.
"Hello, Teacher Shi, I'm Du Linlin from Solar!"
A girl with two ponytails stretched out her hand first. Her eyes were big and round, and when she smiled, there were two cute dimples on her cheeks. She exuded a sweet and energetic aura.
Shi Qing has always had no resistance to cute girls. The tension on her face instantly eased, and she smiled and shook hands back. "Hello, just call me Sister Qingqing. I know you. I've finished watching your "Idol Project 2", and you're one of my picks."
I'm not being polite. I watched the variety show out of boredom, but ended up falling for this cute girl who sparkled on stage but was a little confused off stage.
Du Linlin was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened in surprise. "Really? Sister Qingqing! I love watching your TV series, too!"
She was originally very nervous, but Shi Qing's friendliness made her relax a lot.
As a member of a limited group, she is well aware that an idol's career is short, so she planned her transformation into an actor early on, and this time she is here to test the waters.
"Qingqing, I heard that you also signed up before, but I didn't expect to meet you now." Another fellow actor Cheng Cheng greeted Shi Qing in surprise.
Cheng Cheng is in his early thirties. He doesn't look outstanding, but he is quite cheerful. He is the golden supporting actor in many popular TV series and has become a familiar face by playing one likable role after another.
"Yes, Brother Cheng, long time no see." Shi Qing felt more at ease when she saw an acquaintance.
The three of them walked towards the studio together.
On the way, Du Linlin nervously whispered, "I don't know what my rating is."
The market rating for the first phase will be decided jointly by four mentors and a producer observation team, who will directly divide the actors into three levels: S, A, and B. The corresponding resources and subsequent options will also vary greatly.
At this moment, the live broadcast room was already filled with comments.
Baby Linlin is so cute! Even when she's nervous, she's so adorable!
[Blind guess, an A! After all, she's a member of a popular girl group, so she has traffic.]
[Shi Qing must be S-rank, right? Even someone like Yue Jingchen got an S, so there's no reason why she wouldn't be ranked lower!]
I feel bad for Cheng. His acting is so good, but he's probably going to be relegated to B-tier because of his status. This show is so realistic.
Cheng Cheng looked at Shi Qing with complicated eyes and said nothing.
He also felt that he was most likely in Grade B, after all, the market was so cruel.
Before joining the competition, his junior fellow student who had participated in the competition last year gave him some basic knowledge about the subject.
They went in together, and Shi Qing might also be a B-level person.
However, he felt a little unfair for Shi Qing.
They had worked together on "As Young as Youth" and he had seen with his own eyes how hard this girl worked.
She is not a professional actor, but she works harder than anyone else and has an almost obsessive pursuit of acting and amazing talent.
He concluded at that time that Shi Qing would become famous.
As expected, "Just Like Youth" became a phenomenal hit drama, and it once again proved to the market that her previous hit dramas were not accidental, and her subsequent works were even more popular.
But who could have imagined that after just two years without any works, the market would be so harsh on her.
Walking into the huge studio, the stepped seats were already sparsely occupied by some actors, and were clearly divided into three areas: S, A, and B.
Shi Qing immediately spotted Yue Jingchen sitting in the center of Area S.
He was wearing a high-end suit, with a relaxed posture, chatting and laughing with the people around him.
Under the guidance of the host, the three people took their own rating cards from the tray.
When they turned around at the same time and showed the rating cards to the camera and the people present, a suppressed discussion was heard at the scene.
