Half an hour later, Xiao He brought Xu Yizhou to the suburbs, to the familiar grove.
Along the way, Xu Yizhou opened his eyes wide and looked around like a curious baby, his eyes full of anticipation and joy.
He wanted to be an actor since he was a child. After his early debut, he has been running around in various crews, but no matter how much experience and learning he has, his acting skills are just not up to standard.
The director criticized him for his rigid and formulaic acting style and stiff body, so he couldn't even play a minor role with only a few lines.
So when Xiao He suggested that he and Huo An train together, he was very much looking forward to it.
I heard that Huo An also went through this training before becoming a permanent member of the crew of "New Soldiers, Charge Forward".
After his training, will he be able to get acting roles?
Huo An had already arrived at the training base in the woods.
After changing clothes, he was sitting on the ground waiting.
He never expected that after joining the crew, he would have to attend special training regularly.
But at least the frequency is much lower than before.
Today, as soon as Xiao He came in, he found that there was another person behind him.
As an artist under the same agent, he knew Xu Yizhou, but their friendship was not very close.
But he didn't expect that the other person was so thin and frail, his shoulders couldn't lift anything, his hands couldn't hold anything, his skin was so white and tender, and he looked even weaker than he was before. How could he come for special training?
Huo An quickly pulled him aside, his tone very nervous.
"Why did Xiao He bring you here? It's too tough for you to train with your body like this, right?"
Xu Yizhou puffed out his chest and answered proudly, "I signed up on my own initiative!"
Huo An's eyes widened and he looked at him as if he were a madman.
"Are you crazy? Do you know how tiring the training here is?"
Xu Yizhou didn't care.
"It should be similar to military training, right? I went through military training in college and was even selected as a model soldier!"
"You don't know how powerful Xiao He is. I'm afraid you'll die young..."
Huo An persuaded earnestly.
At this time, Xiao He came over.
"With Xu Yizhou joining today, the training workload will be reduced a bit, and will gradually increase starting tomorrow."
Xu Yizhou nodded quickly, his smile showing a kind of naive innocence.
"Sister, you are so nice to me!"
Huo An, who was standing by, stopped him and said, "Now that you're here, you can't call Xiao He Sister. You have to call her Captain."
"Why?"
Xu Yizhou was puzzled.
Huo An said with a serious expression: "You will know later."
Because Xu Yizhou was participating for the first time, Xiao He adjusted the training intensity to the level when Huo An first started.
But even so, after half an hour of training, Xu Yizhou was exhausted and out of breath.
Compared to him, Huo An was obviously much more skilled.
Such training is nothing to him now. Even though Xu Yizhou fell down from exhaustion, he still looked relaxed.
"No wonder you got the role of a soldier, you're so physically fit!"
"I was worse than you at the beginning, but after a while, you will become like me."
Xu Yizhou was a little worried.
Because of his thin body, he is actually not very good at sports.
"I'm worried I won't be able to hold on."
Huo An: "Don't worry, when the next stage comes, your desire to survive will burst out, beyond your imagination."
He spoke so skillfully, but Xu Yizhou was puzzled. He felt that Huo An's expression was full of complicated things when he said this.
Before he could comprehend it, Xiao He came over.
"Stop and rest for a while, it's time to start the next stage."
Xu Yizhou wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked excitedly, "What's the next step?"
Huo An, who was sitting next to him, was now sitting upright with a serious expression. He turned his head and looked at him very seriously.
"Are you afraid of hamsters?"
Xu Yizhou was stunned at first, then he reacted immediately.
"I know. I saw your interview. You said that Sister Xiao He has a hamster and she lets it train with you and cheer you on!"
Hearing this description, Huo An opened his mouth but hesitated to speak.
He said, "You don't understand. The captain's hamster is huge! Really huge! Bigger than you can imagine!"
Xu Yizhou laughed out loud.
"No way? You're a grown man, and you're actually afraid of hamsters? How big can they be? As big as a fist?"
He waved his little fist.
Huo An pointed behind him.
"You'll know when you look back."
As soon as he finished speaking, a shadow came over, blocking out the sky and the sun.
Xu Yizhou was still laughing at Huo An's cowardice. When he looked up, the smile on his face froze instantly.
White front teeth and a round body.
It was exactly the same as the hamster he had raised before, but the size was completely different!
Too big!
He finally understood why Huo An was afraid of hamsters.
Who wouldn’t be scared when seeing a hamster that is taller than a human?
The huge body was like a small mountain. At this moment, the hamster was staring at him curiously with its round little eyes.
Xu Yizhou stretched out his index finger tremblingly.
"Team...Captain, this is your cute pet that cheered Huo An on?!"
Xiao He was stroking the hamster's big head, as if he was petting a giant dog.
"Yeah, cute, right?"
Xu Yizhou laughed dryly.
No wonder Huo An won.
This isn't cheering, this is asking for death online, right?
Xiao He smiled, raised his hand high and whistled.
"Okay, the special training starts now!"
At the command, the hamster rushed over instantly.
Huo An and Xu Yizhou ran away!
Xu Yizhou had just started training and his speed was obviously not as fast as Huo An. He was almost caught up several times.
But every time I felt like I was about to be slapped away, the hamster behind me would suddenly slow down. On the contrary, if I wanted to be lazy, it would speed up and show a fierce attitude.
In addition to running in the woods, sometimes they were forced to climb trees, do long jumps, swim, and ride bicycles...
Xu Yizhou was shocked to find that this hamster was actually helping them train!
But even so, I still couldn't control the fear and tension in my heart.
After a training session, I felt physically and mentally traumatized and almost died in this woods.
Xu Yizhou couldn't help but respect Huo An next to him.
When he came to his senses, he immediately hugged Xiao He's thighs without saying a word.
"Captain, I regret this! I suddenly feel that my acting skills are pretty good and I don't need any training."
Xiao He frowned and looked at him.
"Stop kidding yourself. With your acting skills, you won't get any roles in the future. How are you going to survive in the entertainment industry?"
Xu Yizhou had a bitter face, and even his dream was temporarily put aside. He said without thinking: "If I can't act, then I can still sing! I can also release a song, just like Huo An before."
Xiao He shook his head.
"Did the tuner offend you? He had such a hard time growing his hair back, how could you be so cruel?"
You can't even speak clearly, and you still want to sing?
Huo An who was standing next to him:?
"Captain...I'm still here."
I didn't mess with anyone!
Xiao He put Xu Yizhou's plan firmly in the cradle and continued training.
But starting from the next day, Huo An returned to the crew.
Before leaving, he pulled Xu Yizhou aside and whispered, "Do you know why my acting skills have improved so much and why the director and screenwriter praised me?"
Xu Yizhou shook his head.
Huo An: "When I was on the set, I had special training once a week, but if I came back from filming, I would train every day. From the moment I discovered this, I regarded the set as my home."
When he thought about having to go back for intensive training after finishing the filming, he felt a pang of fear. He tried his best to improve his acting skills and cooperate with the director, hoping to stay in the crew for a while longer.
Before he knew it, he had become a model worker on the crew and was deeply loved.
Xu Yizhou suddenly understood.
I watched a documentary before that said that when people face death, they will burst out with amazing abilities.
It turns out to be true.
After Huo An left, Xu Yizhou was the only one left to train.
After enduring 100% of the attack from Hamster Xiaoguai, his experience began to grow rapidly.
A week later, Xiao He asked Xu Yizhou for several roles that he liked.
"You can't act blindly anymore. You need to find the right direction and play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. Please organize the plots and characters that you think are good and send them to me. I will help you screen them."
Xu Yizhou nodded happily.
"No need to pack it, I always carry it with me."
After saying that, he took out a stack of information.
Xiao He flipped it open and saw that there were at least hundreds of characters recorded in it!
It simply takes all the characters into consideration.
"You want to act in all of these?"
Xu Yizhou smiled sheepishly and said, "I go to many crews every year, but I get kicked out by the director every time. If I try more, maybe one of them will succeed."
His eyes sparkled as he said this.
Xiao He flipped through the thick stack of information and took them all home.
When she opened it, she found that Xu Yizhou really accepted all kinds of acting opportunities. He was willing to play small supporting roles in movies, extra roles with only one or two lines, guest performances in TV shows, and even motion capture in games.
Many of these roles do not require auditions, so he is usually able to get into the filming.
But once filming started, his poor acting skills were exposed, and he was fired by the director who could no longer tolerate it.
But even so, he was not discouraged at all. He packed up his things and rushed to the next crew without stopping.
Then the cycle continues.
Xiao He was somewhat amazed.
I don’t know how much energy and enthusiasm it takes to achieve this.
She carefully looked through the information in her hand, reading it one by one. Just when she was halfway through, a recruitment advertisement for NPC role-playing in a variety show caught her eye.
The next day, Xiao He canceled training and brought Xu Yizhou to the TV station.
This is a variety show called "Horror Cruise", and the rules are a bit like escape room.
The guests invited in each episode of the show need to overcome numerous obstacles, escape the monsters' pursuit, and finally find the truth of the secret room and escape successfully.
This program has only aired one episode so far. Although it is a new variety show, judging from the program configuration and props, it has sufficient funding and even invited popular stars to participate.
The plot is well-designed, with both laughs and tears. Xiao He is almost certain that it won't be long before this show becomes a hit on the Internet.
In this program, there will be eight ghost NPCs. There are not many people coming to the interview on site, and including Xu Yizhou, there are exactly eight of them.
In addition, the acting skills required for this job were not very high, so the director came over and took a quick look and agreed.
When he saw Xu Yizhou's facial features, his eyes lit up slightly and he nodded with satisfaction.
"Go and choose your roles. There are eight in total. You can choose freely."
When Xu Yizhou heard this, he was eager to try, but as soon as he stood up, he was held down by Xiao He.
"I'll go and help you."
If Xu Yizhou were to go, with his style, he would probably want to act in everything he sees, so wouldn't all the previous training be wasted?
Xiao He stated his identity and followed the others inside.
Eight character cards were neatly placed on the table, with only the costumes, props and scope of activities simply written on them.
Although the director said that these NPCs are all monsters, judging from the character cards, you can actually see that they are different.
Two of the characters in particular have it easier than the others, both in terms of props and work, and even the monsters' appearance is very conservative.
As for the other monsters, they were so ugly that it was hard to describe them in words.
Soon, these two roles were in great demand.
Xiao He carefully looked through the remaining character cards, analyzing the information on them. After careful consideration, he picked up one of the green cards that no one wanted and handed it to the director.
"I choose this one."
A look of surprise crossed the director's face.
"This is the ugliest and hardest-working NPC of all. Are you sure?"
The character description on the card accurately described this NPC monster as having green hair all over its body, a bloated body, a long tongue, and an ugly and terrifying face.
In addition to its appearance, the props it carries weigh up to 20 kilograms, and its range of movement covers the entire map. After such a performance, it must be exhausted.
But Xiao He noticed one thing.
The activity range of other NPCs is a fixed small area, but this one can move around in the entire map.
There must be something special.
"Sure."
"good!"
The director suddenly laughed and handed her a role setting, saying, "Actually, as soon as I saw Xu Yizhou, I felt that he was the most suitable for this role. Take it back and prepare well. Don't let me down."
Xiao He opened the settings and saw the content above, a flash of surprise crossed his face.
Bet! Right!
Outside the room, Xu Yizhou was eavesdropping out of boredom, his ear pressed against the door, but he could hear nothing.
As soon as Xiao He came out, he couldn't wait to greet her, his face full of anticipation.
"Captain, have you discussed it with the director? What role should I play?"
Xiao He nodded slightly, his expression calm.
"It's settled. You can act like a person crushing a stone."
Hearing this, Xu Yizhou frowned and said in distress: "No, I can't turn the hammer."
Xiao He glanced at him.
"What are you thinking about? You play Dashi."
