It's undeniable that Penguin Video's influence in the industry is truly unparalleled. According to the executive director and Qin Sheng, the participating celebrities include four A-list celebrities, 23 B-list celebrities, and more than ten currently popular young actors and actresses...
Qin Sheng was a little surprised when he heard it. He could completely understand why second-tier stars and young actors and actresses participated in this. After all, they needed exposure. Regardless of whether this program would become popular in the end, just for the traffic and remuneration given by Penguin Video, this trip was worth it.
In addition to this, it is inevitable that some small actors who have not yet become famous hope to contact big figures at the director level through this platform, so it is not surprising that second-tier stars occupy the main force of the contestant team Qin Sheng.
but……
It's strange that an A-list star would accept the invitation.
Normally, if the production team had thrown money at a talented, top-tier actor for the sake of hype or to create suspense at the launch, it would have been a pretty good outcome. But this time, four of them showed up...
It's outrageous!
After all, they are top stars. They have a large number of endorsements and almost constant film contracts. They should not take risks here.
You know, the audience's eyes are sharp. If you mess up your performance, your reputation will be ruined. Even the director can't praise you...
However, Qin Sheng's doubts were quickly answered by executive director Xiao Zhao.
"Director Qin, one of those four top-tier actors is from the mainland, and three are from Hong Kong. You should understand..."
"I see..."
Qin Sheng nodded to show that he understood.
It turns out that they are three first-line stars in Hong Kong. This is easy to understand. After all, the development of Hong Kong's entertainment industry in recent years can be said to have been completely overshadowed by the mainland entertainment industry. Not only in terms of film remuneration or publicity, they are all far behind.
So nowadays, many veteran stars from Hong Kong are rushing to the mainland to participate in various variety shows in order to open up the market and return to the top.
Wow, it really is a changing world!
Think about how star-studded the entertainment circles in Hong Kong and Taiwan were in the early 20th century. The King of Singers, the King of Pop, the Best Actor, and almost all the winners of famous awards were from those two places, and mainland stars only accounted for a tiny fraction.
Nowadays, although mainland stars are equally weak and have not achieved any impressive international success, the mainland's strong purchasing power has led to the rapid growth of the entertainment market...
"Okay, I understand."
Qin Sheng nodded, straightened his clothes, and strode towards the studio.
The current arrangement is that the four directors will shoot a promotional video in the morning, and the host will ask some questions about the movie, the current situation of the industry, etc., and then start recording the content in the afternoon.
So Qin Sheng put on a neat suit at the request of the program team and walked out of the passage calmly.
The scene was arranged according to a film set. The four walls were covered with posters of some of the few well-known movies in Chinese history that were able to go overseas. There were also cameras, supporting equipment, recording equipment, camera slides... everything you could think of.
Behind him are auditorium seats of the same color, and in front of him are four golden director's chairs with the names of the occupants marked on the backs of the chairs.
Qin Sheng is on the far left, Guo Xiaoming is on the far right...
In China, a country that values tradition and etiquette, seating order actually represents a lot of things, especially in such a large-scale event that is open to the public.
"The fringe?"
Qin Sheng smiled and didn't take it too seriously. After all, although he had won many awards for TV dramas, they were not impressive enough in the film industry. Moreover, the other two directors did have some impressive international awards, so this position was very reasonable.
By then, many celebrities have already arrived at the scene to report, because they need to shoot the entrance footage first.
In the hall, a group of young ladies, handsome men and beautiful women, were discussing and laughing enthusiastically. After all, they were all in the same circle and knew everyone they should know.
"Xiaohuaer, I didn't expect you to come too. Hug!"
"Yes, I'm here. I didn't want to participate in this program at all, but Director Chen asked me to try it out, so I came."
"Ah, I'm so envious..."
"envious……"
Everyone around was shaking with envy. After all, that was Director Chen, a winner of the Berlin Prize!
And there is something else behind these words. Combined with Director Chen’s recent announcement that he is finally going to shoot a new movie after five years, everyone couldn’t help but start to make associations - she has a role!
So, the young actors who had originally been reluctant to greet the actress as a stranger to avoid embarrassment all greeted the actress called "Xiaohuaer". The reason was simply because she was familiar with Director Chen.
"Sister Huaer, hello, I'm Hanliang..."
"Sister Huaer, do you know me?"
"Sister Huaer, your acting is so beautiful!"
“…”
Sister Huaer smiled and welcomed everyone who came. Although she was in her thirties, her beautiful and elegant face was well-maintained. She looked at the younger people with a cold attitude of a senior. She extended her hand and nodded, "Hello..."
This generation of young actors is very savvy, and Sister Huaer likes the feeling of being praised.
Although she is a second-tier star, she has a strong supporter!
Who in China doesn’t know Chen Daoqiang?
Especially in this circle, to make it to the end, it still depends on qualifications and honors. Among these four directors, Director Chen has the biggest reputation!
Even before the filming started, the actors started gossiping happily.
