Chapter 201 Acting Variety Show
Fans never expected that Chen Duo’s photography skills were so amazing.
The complete story line can be seen from the later behind-the-scenes footage alone.
The fans were all excited: "No kidding, Sister Duo should become a director!"
"Your shots convey love and sincerity, which is rare in today's TV dramas."
"Sister Duo, each of us has signed a blood letter to beg you. We've really had enough of 'pre-prepared meals'."
"At least let us have some fine bran."
The support was so strong that Chen Duo initially thought it was a joke. But every word was heartfelt. Knowing she had closed private messages, she wrote a short essay in the Weibo comments section. She even mentioned the suggestion to Xu Kaiming on his Weibo account.
Are they serious?
Chen Duo just wanted to work as a temporary worker for a month, but they actually wanted to force her to take the job!
She was not interested, but everyone was so sincere that Chen Duo was afraid of hurting everyone if she said it bluntly.
At this moment, Xu Kaiming took action and directly replied to the top message: "I disagree!"
Now they are still together, chasing stars. If Sister Duo becomes a serious director, wow, he has not forgotten the way those actresses surrounded her when they were on the set!
No one expected that he would have such an attitude, and they immediately swarmed over to criticize him.
After a while, Xu Kaiming gave in and said, "I'll be the director, but only if I can be the male lead!"
The person who was originally trying to persuade them earnestly was suddenly fed a mouthful of dog food. I really admire this couple. Suddenly, all the thoughts of whether to make a movie or not were put aside. I am going to fight with this brother-in-law Duo who shows off his affection regardless of the occasion!
"Ahhh, I'm writing this passionate little essay about Sister Duo's talent as a director, and you're showing off. I'm going to kill you!"
"Don't show off. When we die, I'll bury one of you in the North Pole and the other in the South Pole."
"I'm so pissed off."
"God damn it, you bastard."
"You are no longer the brother-in-law Duo in my heart."
With his jokes, everyone suddenly forgot the purpose of coming here and just focused on bickering with him.
…
Gu Yanqiu's company has arranged a new variety show for him.
Gu Yanqiu originally thought that it was just another one-day or half-day studio variety show about games, but when he saw the name, he was stunned: "Actors Calling"?
"Is it what I thought?" Gu Yanqiu said.
This program is the pioneer of acting programs and is now in its third season.
Gathering people from all walks of life to perform stories on the spot, sometimes making mini-movies.
There are directors, producers, etc. who select the actors.
The first two seasons brought out many actors.
This season invites cross-border actors, including various singers, musical actors, children's drama actors, dancers, short play actors and less popular professional actors to compete on the spot.
Gu Yanqiu debuted as an art trainee and also took several acting classes.
But it is limited to facial expression management, which is completely different from serious acting.
Gu Yanqiu’s boss is very young, and there is only one artist, Gu Yanqiu, and they all had good collaborations in the past.
Gu Yanqiu was also willing to listen to his words.
In fact, Gu Yanqiu was a little resistant to this.
Otherwise, with his looks, he would have just played supporting roles in online dramas and would not have almost retired from the entertainment industry.
The boss said, "If you're a good singer, you can act. Singers from Taiwan and Hong Kong used to be very versatile. You can't just give up without even trying. What if you have the talent?"
"I still have many concerts to perform." Gu Yanqiu is not idle.
"You can definitely handle it with your energy. And the subsequent playlist won't change much. You can take on shows. Just being a one-day guest on a variety show won't boost your popularity much. This is a big change, and fans will definitely be happy to see it."
The boss paused and continued, "The overall environment is not good right now. You can hold 32 concerts now because Brother Huoli is still popular. But every generation has its own talents. Brother Huoli has one season a year. When a new talent emerges, will you still be able to sing and dance on stage?"
"You're focusing on the concert now, which is really just for your own fans. But this show is for the general public. You can't stay away from showing your face for six months or a year."
The boss finally said, "Besides, I've already connected it for you." In fact, this was the purpose of his words.
Gu Yanqiu clearly did not agree, but in her heart she recognized his professional judgment and sensitivity.
Gu Yanqiu was a little worried: "It's just that I've never acted before!"
Seeing that he was about to give in, the boss said, "Don't worry about that. There are still ten days left. I've hired a film teacher from Beijing to teach you personally. Sharpening your sword before battle is always a good idea."
"Okay." Gu Yanqiu said, "Is that matter settled?" He was talking about the incident where Sister Duo was scolded by a big fan.
"It's resolved." The fan club was reorganized, with company staff now in charge. They were in charge of overseeing the overall situation. Chen Duo was also given a consolation gift box, and the studio had sent many of Gu Yanqiu's dance practice videos, which were actually material they'd saved for his vlogs, and they were all used to appease her.
The fan company that caused the trouble has also filed a lawsuit. Now everything has come to an end.
Xiaopang contacted Chen Duo and heard that she was no longer angry.
Only then did Gu Yanqiu hum.
Since you have decided to participate in an acting variety show, just make the official announcement on the super topic.
All of a sudden, all of Gu Yanqiu’s fans were happy.
"I've wanted to see him act for a long time."
"It would be a waste of talent if I didn't act with this face."
"Although my baby shines brightly on the stage, I'm also looking forward to seeing him on the big screen."
"Given the size of Gu Yanqiu's fans, if he were to participate in an acting variety show, I wonder how much more delicious food the scissor-handed bigwigs in the industry would make."
"Ahhh, I heard before that he was against acting, but I never dared to tell him. Now he has finally come to his senses."
Soon after, the official announcement of "Actors Calling" was released, announcing that Gu Yanqiu had officially joined the cast. This time, the show was live-streamed, allowing everyone to fully witness how the actors were created and born.
"Huh, live broadcast?"
"Why is it so difficult?"
"Baby, you must do your best. Mommy will cheer you on in front of the TV."
"Hey, have you seen the other officially announced people and mentors..."
"I'll go check it out." The man walked away for five minutes and came back: "Holy shit."
One of the mentors this season is Xia Dan, who has the best relationship with Chen Duo.
Doesn't that mean...
Gu Yanqiu didn't know the bad news that the program was changed to live broadcast. Fans were already thinking about how to start with the relationship with Sister Duo, to get closer to Xia Dan, and let her take care of Gu Yanqiu more on the show.
In fact, they didn't see the whole story. This time, it wasn't just Xia Dan who was related to Chen Duo.
Only Xia Dan is the most famous, and his sentence: Chen Duo is my benefactor, is widely circulated.
The program also featured director Song Han, the director of "Operation Flame," as a guest. He's known for his boastful tactics, and his attempts to solicit investment were like a scam. In order to use Chen Duo's presence to promote the film, he forcibly signed the contract with Chen Duo's company.
The director circle is more about facing investors, and the public knows less about it.
The program's instructor, Jiang Han, is the fish-killing brother. After Chen Duo's interview, he was immediately promoted to a major company as a full-time actor. Because he had previously worked as an acting teacher and was very good at his profession, the program invited him to continue playing this role.
The production team actually wanted to invite Lin Huo. However, Lin Huo's first drama, "Hidden Suspect," was criticized by the Directors Guild. This scarred him, and he was reluctant to interact with people outside of filming, so he didn't come this time.
Soon the program team released the list of participants one after another.
The most eye-catching thing is that Xiao Fen’s name is among the tutors!
She was the last one to make the official announcement.
The production team is really bad. If she was the first to make the official announcement, half of the contestants would probably withdraw.
Even Gu Yanqiu's fans took a deep breath when they saw that Teacher Xiao Fen would be the mentor this time.
