Chapter 059
After a few days of noisy excitement online, when Chen Luo reappeared, the peak of the controversy had already passed.
This time when he came out, he simply sent a notice of termination of contract with the new generation of performers, and officially stated that he would retire from the circle and return to three-life.
The termination of the contract was very peaceful. Among all the endorsements and jobs he was involved in, Yansheng was the only one who sent him his blessings.
Although netizens all knew that Shen Luo's experience was a case of evil deeds getting their comeuppance, they still felt a little sympathy for him.
[If nothing else, this face is so beautiful that it makes people want to commit a crime]
[What a joke! He went astray just because he knew he was pretty.]
[u1s1, it is really good-looking, but it is not to the extent that there is no substitute for it in the domestic entertainment industry. Besides, other actors of the same level who have strength and are less likely to make trouble are also good-looking. I would rather see more of them]
Xu Jingning looked through the online discussions and sighed.
Until now, most people are still focusing on his face, as if all his efforts in acting have been completely erased.
I don’t know what Shen Luo would think if he saw it.
For him, this is the real retribution.
"Ningning, what are you looking at?"
Xiang Yuan rushed over and slapped his good brother on the back, almost killing him.
Xu Jingning choked, covered his chest and looked up weakly: "Checking Weibo...what are you doing..."
"Oh, Director Xu said the live broadcast will start soon, and he's calling everyone to gather!"
Xu Jingning responded: "Okay, I'm coming."
Coincidentally, today is a new live broadcast of Yansheng.
The show has been gaining momentum recently, and many people came out of curiosity. But after all, it is approaching the finals, and no matter what happens, at least the production team has to keep steady and not be affected by outside public opinion.
Before the live broadcast started, everyone was already chatting animatedly in the barrage.
[By the way, does anyone feel that the show is toxic? Why is there always someone with a scandal in every round? ]
[Ahhh, stop talking nonsense. It's clearly karma. What does it have to do with the show? Actors are supposed to cooperate with the above.]
【Will anyone get into trouble in the final of the no-prize guessing contest】
[Help! How big of a scandal can it be in the finals? ]
[Speaking of this, I remembered... It seems like there's always someone like Xu Jingning passing by to eat melons]
[It makes sense. I bet the next 50-cent guy will be Xu Jingning. He's so cool, why doesn't anyone expose him?]
[What do you mean no one has dug it up? He must have been dug up long ago. He is a pure and innocent young man with a good family background.]
[Come on with 200 yuan and bet on a final match. Yan Xun and Xu Jingning confess their love, and Xun and Ning have a grand wedding]
[CP fans, please be careful not to go too far?! ]
【Ahhh, stop betting! Account suspension warning! I guess the production team didn’t expect it to be so coincidental that they would be involved every time. Let’s be careful too. It’s only the last round, everyone please behave yourself!!!】
The backstage administrator saw that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction and cleared the screen several times in fear, and finally managed to hold on until the picture appeared.
In this live broadcast, all the students and mentors sat around a round table, with a pen and an A4 paper in front of each of them.
Director Xu's voice sounded: "Hello everyone, welcome to the first live broadcast of the final round of the new generation of performance."
"Today we have several small sessions. In addition to announcing the long-awaited finals judging rules, we also need you to collectively participate in a quiz game about the content of the previous three rounds of performances. Give feedback to the audience."
"First of all, I would like to announce to everyone that our final will be completed by nine students and four mentors, who will perform a two-hour performance together."
When this sentence came out, all the guests were shocked, and the comments were all [Ah? ??? ???]
Tell a joke, broadcast live, and it will take two hours.
In the previous three rounds, the performance time of each group was controlled within 20 minutes, plus the group interviews and transition content, which together were enough to fill an entire afternoon.
But now, although it is completed by thirteen people, under the pressure of live broadcast throughout the process, the longer the time, the faster the efficiency drops.
The further it goes on, the harder it is to hold on, and the more it tests the actors' abilities.
None of them are professional stage actors, which is equivalent to directly raising the difficulty level.
Seeing that they all looked solemn, Director Xu continued with satisfaction: "Of course, we have more time to prepare for this round. The final will be held during the National Day holiday in a month."
"However, this does not mean that your pressure is reduced, because the theme, script, and performance format of the final will all be decided by you guys."
Xiang Yuan was about to cry: "I protest! We are actors, we should just do our job well!"
Xu Jingning pulled him aside and said, "Don't be so quick to cry. An actor who doesn't have his own ideas about the story is not a good actor."
Xiang Yuan gave him a resentful look.
Others had the same idea, but looking at Director Xu's stern face, they knew there was no room for bargaining.
However, with only one month's time, it's not really entirely left to them. The director team is already full of talented people, and they have also invited several famous gold medal screenwriters in the circle. To be honest, just asking them to provide ideas and themes has already reduced a lot of their burden.
Chu Xinrou raised her hand and asked curiously, "Director, can you tell me why you made this decision?"
The themes of the previous episodes were actually targeted. On the one hand, they were to increase the ratings of the program for the audience experience, and on the other hand, they were to reflect as many different contents as possible to allow the new generation to experience sufficient challenges.
But in the final, such a crucial round, they were completely left to themselves.
Director Xu smiled and explained: "Because the original positioning of the program "Performing in the New Era" is to discover and cultivate new-generation actors with potential, so after weighing the pros and cons of the program team, we hope that this final will be a summary of your performance over such a long period of time."
"'Performing in the New Era' cultivates actors who develop in all aspects, so that they can go more firmly and further on the road ahead."
Director Xu's words not only moved the guests present, but also moved the audience in front of the screen.
Then, he slowly brought the topic back: "I'm sure you all have seen the pen and paper in front of you, so next, each of you write a topic that you most want to present in the finals. It can be a topic you want to challenge, or a topic you simply like or find interesting. It's all fine."
After listening to it, the first person to start writing was Xu Jingning.
He didn't seem to think about it for too long. He quickly wrote the content on the paper, then folded it in half and handed it to Director Xu.
Others followed suit, but some, like Xiang Yuan, could not come up with any idea after racking their brains, and finally wrote two huge words on the paper: Whatever.
Because of his sitting position, everything he wrote was captured by the camera, and netizens collectively laughed at him.
Afterwards, after a few mini-games, Director Xu released another piece of news: "Because the finals are performed by everyone, we have expanded the final vote count to 5,000 votes, but this time each audience member only has one chance to vote, and the final ranking will be based on individual votes."
This notice was entirely an adjustment made to suit the finals mode. After everyone expressed their understanding, today's live broadcast is almost over.
After finishing, Xiang Yuan came over again, hooked his arm around Xu Jingning's shoulder and asked, "Hey, Ningning, what's the topic you're writing about? You decided on it so quickly."
"Ah, I just suddenly thought of it and wrote it down." Xu Jingning smiled casually, "I guess Director Xu won't refer to it."
Seeing that he was so calm, Xiang Yuan tactfully stopped asking and started talking about other things.
They walked all the way to the parking lot and separated. Xu Jingning saw Yan Xun waiting for him at a glance.
Seeing that Xu Jingning seemed very energetic, Yan Xun raised his eyebrows: "What good thing happened to you that makes you so happy?"
"Well, I just feel a little excited when I think about the finals."
Having said that, Xu Jingning's eyes were curved with smile.
Who would have thought that before coming to this variety show, Xu Jingning would have such a high sense of identification with the profession of actor.
Now, he is actually happy because he is an actor, and he is full of expectations simply because he has the opportunity to play his favorite roles and scripts.
Yan Xun also noticed this and couldn't help but be infected by his emotions, and laughed along with him: "Have you thought about what will happen after the finals?"
"Hmm?" Xu Jingning turned his head to look at him.
"After the finals, the recording of this season of Actors has also ended. The influence you have exerted over the past two and a half months has reached a certain level. I believe you must have received many invitations from film crews. Have you confirmed your next arrangements?"
"The second half of the year?" Xu Jingning calculated the time. The performance will end in early October, so there is indeed a lot of time this year.
Xu Xingcheng mentioned it before, and it seemed that many people came over to hand him notebooks, but from her tone it seemed that she was still not satisfied after the screening.
After thinking for a while, Xu Jingning explained: "Just focus on acting for now. It won't be too late to arrange the work later."
"And you?"
Yan Xun seemed to be waiting for this question, and blurted it out: "I'm going to shoot a movie next. I confirmed it with Director Fang in the first half of the year. I'll join the crew as soon as I finish filming."
"Do you want to make a movie? Just tell Director Fang."
I've discussed it with Fang Shu... When these two people worked together, Xu Jingning knew without thinking that this must be another award-winning book tailor-made for Yan Xun.
Since it was confirmed in the first half of the year, it has nothing to do with him. We can't bother the screenwriter to change the script just for him.
Although Yan Xun didn't say so, Xu Jingning always felt that he would do so.
"Forget it, there's no need to bother. I want to find a role that suits me based on my own abilities." Xu Jingning politely refused.
Yan Xun simply responded and then lowered his head to do his own thing.
Xu Jingning breathed a sigh of relief.
However, mentioning work reminded him of another thing.
The last time I did a live broadcast...it seems like a long time ago.
But there has been some commotion on the Internet recently, and too much information can easily cause visual fatigue to netizens. It is best to wait for a while until things are calmer before opening it.
He shook out 2874 and completed the task of collecting melon materials.
"Anything is fine, just enough to talk about it later."
2874: "Okay!"
