Chapter 006
After hearing what Yan Xun said, Xu Jingning was completely numb.
Is it really him, and not possessed by someone else?
Not sure, let’s wait and see.
Fortunately, Yan Xun also knew that his words were a bit offensive, so he slowly came back: "If you want to save your image with me, you should hurry up and practice more."
“Your ideas are brilliant, and I’m looking forward to your performance on stage.”
Speaking of this, Xu Jingning finally remembered the main business: "Teacher Yan wants to talk to me about... the script?"
"A round of performances is entirely up to the students themselves, so it's not convenient for me to intervene." Yan Xun smiled, "It's just my personal appreciation for the younger generation."
This is a blatant attempt to help him change the script.
Xu Jingning's eyes lit up instantly.
But he knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch, so he asked cautiously, "I'm sorry to bother you. I can't accept your kindness for nothing. Is there anything that Teacher Yan can do for me?"
Yan Xuncai considered that his behavior was considered too attentive by the other party, and laughed: "Okay, just consider it as you owe me a favor."
After hearing this, Xu Jingning, who had too much trust in the character of his predecessors, finally felt at ease and took out the script and placed it in front of the two of them.
In the following week, Xu Jingning met with Yan Xun twice more. The other party helped him to revise the script in detail. After submitting it to the program team for review and approval, the day of the official recording of "Interpreting the New Generation" soon arrived.
The long-awaited 2874 seemed particularly active on this day, chirping all the time.
"There are ten students this season. It looks like it's going to be a lot of fun!"
"But we have to perform separately before we can meet again. Oh, I really want to go and watch other people's performances."
Xu Jingning was being pressed down by the makeup artist to put on her makeup, so she simply let him do what he wanted and closed her eyes to chat with 2874: "Do you want to watch the performance, or do you want to see Chu Xinrou?"
2874 was shy for a rare moment: "Of course I'm going to see my goddess."
Xu Jingning couldn't help laughing out loud.
God knows his little system will also be attracted to good-looking humans.
It even argued: "Do I have a bad sense of taste? Otherwise, why would I choose you as my host!"
Xu Jingning raised his eyebrows.
There was something to be pleased about.
So he showed mercy and said, "The live broadcast is about to start. No one can see you anyway, so go and watch the show."
2874: "!!! Okay, I'm leaving! Don't worry, I'll be back before your performance!"
The popularity of "The New Generation" before it was aired is not only due to the large investment and luxurious lineup, but also due to many novel program recording modes, such as the phrase "live broadcast throughout" mentioned in the promotion.
Although live streaming has become popular in recent years, this is the first time that netizens have seen a regular large-scale production program adopt the live streaming format.
This is also a big challenge for the guests participating in the program. Under the constraints of live broadcast on the entire network, any mistake may be infinitely magnified.
Not long after 2874 escaped, Xu Jingning had finished his makeup. He followed the staff into the small room and waited for the recording to begin.
The order of entrance for a round of performances was arranged according to the official announcement time of the students, so Xu Jingning was arranged to be the last one.
In addition to the stage, other students waiting in the wings will also be given opportunities to be on camera and record their reactions separately.
After all the students were ready, the live broadcast interface was opened, and countless long-awaited netizens quickly flocked into the live broadcast room, expressing their curiosity about the split screen.
【Wow, it’s finally on air! 】
[I came here for the new generation of young men and women! Where are they? 】
[Wow, wow, wow, wow, the screen is so small after splitting, what should I do if everyone wants to watch it. 】
[Sisters who want to watch all the previous ones! Watch the ones you are interested in first, and we will make a pure enjoyment version after the live broadcast! ]
Some people choose to watch the stage performances, while others choose to watch the reactions of their favorite actors. In comparison, the quietest split screen was the one where Xu Jingning was just quietly watching the stage with almost no movement.
He was watching other people's performances carefully.
Just as Yan Xun said, most of the students did their homework and chose the performance form of drama, and the scripts they chose were adaptations or direct imitations of classic works.
Or maybe you could take a different approach like Xiang Yuan and boldly choose a musical.
The singing is slightly off-tune, but the emotion is so invested that one can overlook that slight flaw.
Two others, such as Chu Xinrou, performed clips from classic movies, TV shows and dramas in a proper manner.
While Xu Jingning was thinking, 2874 jumped out: "I'm back!"
"Did you see the little sister you've been thinking about?"
"Oh, I didn't expect her to look so different after putting on makeup." 2874's tone was a little frustrated, "Don't actors nowadays have to worry about being an idol?"
Xu Jingning smiled, remembering that the girl was imitating a popular police and gangster movie more than a decade ago. The bold and non-mainstream style of the girl really made a great impression on people, and she was very emotional: "She is very dedicated."
Face control 2874 responded obediently: "Actually, this is also quite nice."
During the discussion, it was Shen Luo's turn to take the stage.
Under the lighting, when Chen Luo uttered the first line, Xu Jingning's smile gradually cooled.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the tutor's observation room suddenly dropped.
The other three mentors all looked at Yan Xun.
Shen Luo performed a famous clip from the movie in which Yan Xun won his first Golden Award for Best Actor at the age of sixteen.
It is well known in the circle that what Yan Xun despises most is people who have no real ability and only resort to tricks. It is not the first or second time that Chen Luo has tried to ride on his popularity, but they had no intersection in the past and it did not affect Yan Xun's career, so his team just turned a blind eye.
I don’t know if Shen Luo is really stupid or doesn’t want a future, daring to play the role he played in front of Yan Xun...
But Yan Xun watched the entire performance calmly.
When Shen Luo entered the tutor's observation room, he greeted the four people confidently: "Hello, teachers."
Then, he looked at Yan Xun nakedly.
The two mentors who wanted to smooth things over were unable to speak for a moment.
After a moment of stalemate, Yan Xun slowly said, "I thought the program had already screened out those who would make basic mistakes when selecting students."
"Or, in such a long rehearsal time, you didn't catch the mistakes that shouldn't have been made, such as backing up the stage and missing the shot?"
Shen Luo froze in place, not daring to move for a moment.
Yan Xun's expression still had a hint of a smile on it, but his words were chilling to the bone.
The camera footage from the tutor's observation room was open to the audience, and the number of comments increased in real time. Many people who disliked Chen Luo began to mock him.
[Chen Luo made a big mistake this time. Yan Xun said a long time ago that a good actor must learn to find the camera himself. ]
[I knew he would fail sooner or later, and now he has failed in front of his idol, hahahaha. ]
[What conspiracy theory? Senior Yan, please just give an objective evaluation! ]
[But Yan Xun's comments on the previous students were very gentle. Is he really angry this time? ]
Then, Yan Xun pointed out a few issues with the actor's acting. Since these were roles he had played before, it was easy for him to evaluate them, but to others, they seemed to be pressing.
I don't know if it's because there are too many problems to talk about or because I'm too lazy to argue with him, Yan Xun's comments came to an abrupt end, and he shifted his gaze, obviously not wanting to wait for Shen Luo's explanation.
Seeing Shen Luo's silence, Yan Xun didn't seem to want to give up the opportunity, so another male instructor Xing Yu slowly said, "Maybe this student is not used to the stage position, and it is really difficult for one person to perform this segment, so it is understandable that he is nervous on stage.
After trying to make it up, Xing Yu immediately changed the subject: "Shen Luo, right? I see you are an idol transformed into an actor?"
Shen Luo pursed his lips and nodded: "Yes."
Xing Yu smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I am also transforming into an actor. We can communicate more if we have the chance in the future."
[Oh my god, Lao Xing only covered for Chen Luo just to save the atmosphere, so unlucky.]
[What bad luck! Please, Luo Luo has been an actor for three years, and I don’t know who will teach whom by then! ]
[Um, just a reminder, Xing Yu won the Best Actor award at the beginning of this year. ]
[Well, Guwang's fans are just being pedophile. They look down on everyone in their family. If it weren't for Guwang's own character setting, he would have dared to step on Yan Xun.]
After a few brief exchanges, Shen Luo left with an almost depressed face. The barrage of comments became lively for a while, and everyone focused their attention on the next student.
At this time, Xu Jingning, who was backstage, was reminded by the staff: "Teacher Xu, it's your turn to go on stage."
Xu Jingning seemed to have just shifted his attention and smiled politely: "Okay, I'll be right there."
【Ahhhhh, his smile is so heart-warming! 】
[I understand, I understand. He seems to be the kind of brother next door who patiently helps students with their homework one question at a time! ]
[Shaha, has Xu Jingning ever acted in a costume drama? His looks are really suitable for a gentle and dignified young master from an aristocratic family! ]
Afterwards, not long after Xu Jingning came on stage, the barrage of comments immediately changed to a different style.
Different from other students' iconic and atmospheric outfits, Xu Jingning's outfit was very casual, a blue and white casual shirt paired with light-colored jeans. If he hadn't already stood on the stage, people would have believed he was a college student out shopping.
Then, all the audience in the live broadcast room saw Xu Jingning, with a leisurely look on his face, come to the center of the stage, pick up the phone to chat with someone, and smile very happily. It was originally a very daily topic, but because of this smile, people inexplicably wanted to listen to him talk more.
However, this harmonious state disappeared in an instant. Xu Jingning suddenly threw the phone to the ground, stood up with a slight tremor, looked up, and his eyes were full of sinisterness.
[Oh shit, is this still the brother next door from before?! I feel like if I were the one talking to him, he would crush me in the next second...]
[Shivering.jpg, his switch was so sudden but also so smooth? He led me right in...]
[To be honest... I'm a fan of Ning Ning, but I've never seen him play a role like this, so... exciting. ]
Several mentors were very surprised by his performance. Even Yan Xun, who already knew his script, had a glimmer of appreciation in his eyes. Xu Jingning on the stage was still immersed in the performance. He quickly calmed down from his angry look and slowly picked up the phone. Just when the audience thought he had "calmed down", he suddenly sobbed again.
This series of performances, with fast speed and tight rhythm, captured the audience's emotions. Finally, before the curtain fell, Xu Jingning smiled kindly and said softly and sweetly into the phone: "Good night, see you tomorrow."
[Damn... this gives me chills, is this a yandere? ]
[Ahem, don't mention topics that won't pass the review... I understand. Xu Jingning should be playing a mentally ill patient who is venting his fantasies.]
[Everything suddenly makes sense. Now look at his shirt. Does it look like a hospital gown?]
【Wow! That makes sense! 】
The performance was so powerful that Xu Jingning took a break and walked to the instructor's observation room, smiling politely and saying hello: "Teachers, please give me your guidance."
"Oh my god, brother, don't smile at me like that, I'm a little scared, it's really shocking!" Top star Weekend Mo covered her mouth in surprise, "Is this your original script?"
"Well, it's considered the second version." Xu Jingning thought for a moment and explained, "Because I was in a hurry to prepare, the program team sent me three scripts, and I combined these three to adapt them."
In fact, the credit also goes to Yan Xun, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to blend in so naturally.
"It's really amazing, both in terms of the script's creativity and your acting skills." Weekend turned to Yan Xun and said, "Is this the kind of talented actor that Teacher Yan likes the most?"
Yan Xun laughed cooperatively: "Yeah, I like it very much."
"So, I am looking forward to whether Mr. Xu will have a performance that I will like more next time."
Because of these two sentences, the barrage went crazy again.
[If you don't understand, just ask, what's with Yan Xun's doting tone, is this something I can buy? ]
