At the start of a new week, there are only eight contestants left in the Century Supernova competition. This weekend, it's an acting competition.
The Century Supernova talent show aims to select a new talent with exceptional singing, dancing, and acting skills. Jiangdu Entertainment will then sign this talent with a lucrative contract and provide them with resources such as albums, film and television roles, and more, creating a brand new national idol.
So on Monday morning, all eight contestants gathered in a large conference room at Jiangdu Entertainment. They drew lots again, and each received an envelope containing a script and a supporting guest actor.
The entire process will be recorded and broadcast starting with the third round on Friday.
The training task for all contestants this week is to practice the script with the guest performers.
Yan Zi, the contestant with the highest ratings from both the instructors and the audience last week, was the first to draw lots. She randomly pulled out an envelope from the box.
"Look, look, what's the script?"
Huang Yinyin was dancing behind Feng Xiaoyun and Yan Zi, more active than either of them.
Yan Zi opened the envelope and took out the paper inside.
Scene: Living room
Background: On their wedding anniversary, news arrives of a sudden earthquake. The hero, a soldier, rushes to the epicenter to provide rescue services, while the heroine, a military doctor, also goes to aid the affected. In the final five minutes before reunion, the two embrace and say goodbye in their living room.
Lines: …………
Guest performers: Male (Hu Yanqing) Female (Jin Yulai)
Because there are both male and female contestants in Century Supernova, two guest performers are prepared.
If a male contestant draws this script, he will naturally act with Jin Yulai.
If a female contestant like Yan Zi draws this script, then Hu Yanqing will be invited as a guest performer.
The guest performers invited by the program team are not famous, but their acting skills are recognized by the public as powerful actors.
The drawing process was very short, and only a portion of the script that everyone drew was shown, which added a sense of mystery to the performance. Of course, there were also some behind-the-scenes footage like Huang Yinyin peeking in and gossiping about Yan Zi's script.
Then each contestant went to their respective training rooms and waited for the guest performers to start rehearsing the script.
Yan Zi sat down and began to read the script and memorize his lines.
"Squeak... clack..."
Yan Zi looked up at Feng Xiaoyun and said, "Why are you dragging these tables? It's so noisy!"
"Well, your script says it's set in a living room, doesn't it? I'll help you decorate it and make it more like a living room so it's more immersive."
Yan Zi didn't expect Feng Xiaoyun to be so thoughtful, so he put down the script and prepared to help.
"No, no, these things are done by our assistant. I'm telling you, don't even think about stealing my job! Have you ever heard that blocking someone's financial path is worse than a pig or a dog?"
"Bah, you are worse than pigs and dogs. A dog can't spit out ivory."
"Dong Dong Dong~~"
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the training room. It should be the guest performer who arrived.
Feng Xiaoyun went to the door and saw a man in his twenties or thirties standing there.
"Hello, I'm Hu Yanqing. Am I in the right place?" The man extended his hand.
Feng Xiaoyun stepped forward, shook hands and said hello: "No, no, welcome, welcome Teacher Hu."
"Oh, you don't deserve the title of teacher. I'm still a student myself. I look older than you. Just call me Brother Hu." Hu Yanqing was very humble.
"Okay, then I won't be polite to call you Brother Hu. Please come in, Brother Hu." Feng Xiaoyun brought Hu Yanqing in.
"Brother Hu, this is our artist, Yan Zi."
"Yanzi, this is Mr. Hu Yanqing, but Mr. Hu said we can just call him Brother Hu."
"Yan Zi, right? I watched your competition in the last round, and you sang very well. Sorry for being a little late. I just found out that I will be your guest performer and will play a soldier, so I asked the stylist to give me a buzz cut. How is it? Not ugly, right?" Hu Yanqing took the initiative to greet Yan Zi and made a little joke.
"Thank you, Brother Hu. I think this hairstyle is very masculine and fits the role very well." Yan Zi didn't say much, but when he heard that Hu Yanqing cut his hair into a buzz cut specifically for a five-minute soldier role on stage, he couldn't help but show his respect.
This is what a professional actor is, unlike what I saw in the news before, where some stars played soldiers, but their hair couldn't be held down by the military cap. Once they took off the military cap, their hair didn't even mess up.
"Hahaha, I think so too." Hu Yanqing said as he touched his crew cut with his hand. It is said that hair of this length feels the most comfortable to the touch.
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense and take a look at the script first." Hu Yanqing shook the script in his hand. He had obtained the script a long time ago and had memorized the lines of the two people in it. However, Yan Zi only got the script in the morning and was a newcomer, so of course he had to walk her through it again.
This is also the purpose of the program team inviting these guest performers. To put it bluntly, not only do they have to act opposite the contestants, but they also have to work part-time as their teachers for a week and impart some acting experience.
Yan Zi is lucky. Hu Yanqing has always had a good reputation in the circle. He is not only a good actor, but also dedicated to his work. He is also very strong professionally. He graduated from the postgraduate program of the Chinese Academy of Drama and is currently pursuing a doctorate in acting.
Having such an actor with rich experience in both theory and practice to guide her can help her avoid many detours.
This is actually true. Once entering the rehearsal, Hu Yanqing quickly got into the role and portrayed the tender side of a tough soldier to perfection.
