Chapter 147 Acting is not a joke
Luo Chen naturally wouldn't ask the director directly to get the news, so he asked a few stagehands about that group of actors indirectly.
The more he asked, the colder Luo Chen's eyes became, and his expression became gloomier.
The chief director happened to walk over and his expression tensed up when he saw Luo Chen, but he quickly relaxed again.
"Agent Luo." The director took the initiative to greet Luo Chen.
Who knew that Luo Chenli ignored him and just walked away sideways.
The director then became nervous and immediately realized that something was wrong.
He immediately asked the people around him what Luo Chen had asked just now.
After finding out the truth, he thought to himself that he was in trouble and quickly caught up with Luo Chen.
Seeing Luo Chen coming back with a gloomy face, Ning Mingluo knew what was going on.
Although he now has Gu Xiucheng's support and has no shortage of fame and popularity, he has been struggling at the bottom for so long after all, and he knows the dirty things behind the scenes very well.
"I asked a few people, and they found out that the actor and actress were put in there by an investor. It's said that the investor is the actor's father, and the woman is his current girlfriend. This investor is quite influential and has invested a lot of money in this show."
It only takes a few words to understand what's going on.
The second-generation rich man was out there with his girlfriend for fun, but he had little fame or exposure. The artists in his group were all trainees or artists who hadn't officially debuted yet, so they definitely couldn't bring them any exposure or traffic, so he set his sights on Ning Mingluo.
Because Ning Mingluo only signed a contract for one term, he served as a special guest and led a group of students.
That’s the heat and the picture.
Ning Mingluo's name is now known to everyone, and he represents popularity.
Nowadays, any video about Ning Mingluo has tens of millions of views and millions of likes.
When he appeared on variety shows, the popularity was unprecedented.
However, Luo Chen did not expect that even though they knew that Shengshi was behind Ning Mingluo, there were still people who dared to plot against them.
I'm really too good-tempered and treat them like dirt.
"If they want to take advantage of my popularity, it depends on whether they have the ability to do so." Looking at Luo Chen's angry expression, Ning Mingluo smiled faintly.
Being able to stay in the entertainment industry for so long doesn't mean he doesn't know everything. It's just that he doesn't like to play those little tricks or think about things that have nothing to do with acting. It's pointless to waste his brain on them.
"Do you have a solution?"
Luo Chen also knew that this matter was frustrating, but there was nothing he could do. This group of colleges was selected by voting, and they couldn't say anything. If they simply refused to admit him, they would probably be blamed by the other party and accused of being a big shot, which would not be worth the loss.
"That might be a solution."
If you want to take advantage of his popularity, then make this matter a bigger deal.
When the director came in, he saw Ning Mingluo and other members chatting and laughing. There was nothing special. Although Luo Chen, who was standing by to supervise the filming, had a bad expression on his face, he didn't seem to want to express anything.
The director didn't understand what was going on. He wasn't sure if Ning Mingluo knew what was going on, and he felt extremely nervous.
I wanted to go over and ask, but then I felt that asking would be like trying to cover up the truth. We are all smart people, and we can figure out what's going on with just a little thought.
After leaving the director at the door for a long time, Luo Chen turned around and looked at him.
"Director? Why are you here? Is there any problem with the program recording?" Luo Chen's image has always been smart and capable, but he still wears a polite smile to the outside world, with the corners of his lips raised, which is very in line with etiquette.
It’s just that the director had something to hide, and he always felt that Luo Chen’s expression was a little serious, and what he said seemed to have some subtext.
Not daring to look directly into Luo Chen's eyes, he had to look at Ning Mingluo.
"I don't have anything to do. I just came to see how Teacher Ning's recording is going and if there's anything I can help with."
"It went quite smoothly. These actors are all very talented."
Hearing this, the director breathed a sigh of relief, then said he had something else to do and left.
Ning Mingluo didn't even look at the director from beginning to end. This was obviously something wrong, but the director was preoccupied with other things and didn't notice it.
Luo Chen snorted coldly and looked at the camera in the room. It was a pity that none of the shots taken today would be included in the main film.
After the break, rehearsals resumed. Ning Mingluo used a stricter approach, without a smile on his face throughout the entire process, and was very sharp when pointing out problems.
"No, start over. A line of ten words, don't you know how to pronounce it in rhythm? Do you need to go back to kindergarten and ask your teacher to teach you?"
"Will you open your eyes? I told you to open your eyes, but I didn't. If the camera breaks, will you pay for it?"
"You're the character standing in the picture. Where do all those little movements come from? Do I need to shove some snacks in front of you? You're so laid back."
"Filming is no joke. If you don't understand, I think you might as well quit."
Ning Mingluo was wearing a black shirt with two buttons undone at the collar, revealing his fair skin. The hem of his shirt was tucked into his trousers, and he looked very capable.
It was originally a picture of a beauty, but the beauty's mouth was so vicious that no one at the scene dared to look Ning Mingluo in the eye.
No matter whether it was the leading actor or other supporting actors, no one could escape and they were all stabbed.
The couple wanted to argue with Ning Mingluo, but Ning Mingluo glared at them and said, "Okay, if you don't like it, get out of here."
No nonsense, don't shoot if you don't want to listen.
One sentence controlled them tightly, and no matter how reluctant they were, they had no choice but to do as Ning Mingluo said.
Luo Chen sighed. It was them and Mingluo who were so soft when they needed to be, and so firm when they needed to be. It really made me feel relieved.
Finally, during another rehearsal, the female lead was made to cry by Ning Mingluo and ran out of the room. The male actor didn't care about anything else and chased her out.
Ning Mingluo didn't even raise his eyebrows: "Continue."
The rest of the people looked at each other, but didn't dare to say anything and continued rehearsing.
After they left, Luo Chen arranged for someone to keep an eye on the trending searches.
As expected, ten minutes later, a piece of news became a hot topic.
[As expected, people become arrogant when they become famous. NML filmed a variety show and did not take the actors in the same group for granted. It was not good to scold them. It is true that you can only judge a person by his appearance.]
The person who broke the news just said this, and there was no real information, but it quickly climbed up the trending searches.
After all, it carries Ning Mingluo's name, so just one click from Ning Mingluo's fans is enough to generate enough attention.
Luo Chen was not in a hurry, as he saw that the person who leaked the information had whetted everyone's appetite.
Then this person posted a few screenshots of the video.
They are all videos of Ning Mingluo scolding people with a cold face.
Because that's how it was on the scene, and it saved them the trouble of piecing it together and editing it.
Netizens didn’t believe it at first, but now they are shocked after seeing the video.
Many people began to express their opinions.
[I know this program, isn't it about training actors? They're all newcomers, so they definitely don't have acting skills. Isn't he discriminating against them just because they have some seniority?]
[Haha, if he hadn't been lucky enough to sign with Shengshi, he wouldn't know where he'd be playing supporting roles. His pretentious tone is really disgusting.]
[I never get him, I think he is pretending]
【Upstairs plus one】
The comment section is full of bad reviews.
Luo Chen scratched his head for a while and then laughed.
"Sister Chen, are you so happy to see netizens scolding me? I remember I didn't treat you badly." During the intermission, Ning Mingluo sat next to Luo Chen.
"How could that be? I'm laughing because I think they're worthy of being an investor who's pouring money into this. The internet trolls they hired are more professional than the 50-cent posters. The black people's words aren't repeated, and they've taken every aspect into consideration. I need to have the PR team learn from them and update their sales pitch. Don't just use the same old thing every day."
Ning Mingluo: ...
After the joke, Luo Chen's expression became serious.
"Is this the solution you mentioned? Right now, all the comments are negative towards you. Although there are fans trying to explain it for you, with this actual video right here, words are completely useless."
Ning Mingluo was not in a hurry.
"It's okay, no need to clarify, someone will help me clarify it in a moment."
Luo Chen:?
Someone? Who? Mr. Gu?
But even if Mr. Gu came, he wouldn't be able to do anything about this kind of thing.
However, things really happened just as Ning Mingluo said. After the rehearsals started again, the online comments suddenly changed.
Several actors retweeted the post and included the same message.
【I really miss this feeling】
[That’s the smell, that annoying tone, ah! I miss it so much]
[Where can I attend the class? I want to audit it!]
Those who retweet Weibo posts are not ordinary actors. Many of them are talented. They may not have many fans and are not very popular, but their achievements are real.
Among them, there are those who have won Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actress.
Luo Chen is now just as confused as the netizens.
They are here criticizing Ning Mingluo for being a big shot, so why are you still forwarding it happily?
Someone quickly answered my questions.
Fans were asking questions in the comment section of the actress who has won the Best Actress award for three consecutive years.
[Sister, what are you missing? ]
Reply below [Missing the time when I was in college]
Now everyone was even more puzzled.
Then the actress continued to answer without keeping the audience in suspense.
When I was taking acting classes with Mr. Lu Feng at school, he scolded us like this. His words were much more extreme than Ming Luo's, but Ming Luo's expression and tone were exactly the same as Mr. Lu's. It was obvious he was just copying them.
Now netizens understood that Ning Mingluo was not playing big shots at all, but was just imitating his teacher and teaching students seriously.
But some people are serious about it and ask why it should be so strict.
Someone responded quickly.
He is an actor who just won the Best Supporting Actor award this year.
Teacher Lu Feng is strict with us because he truly sees acting as an art form, not just a way to make money. He makes us realize how serious we are about what we do. Without such strict guidance, we wouldn't be able to achieve our current results. Junior Ning does this because he truly wants to teach these newcomers that acting is not a joke, let alone playing house!
