The two groups of interns arrived at the "Comprehensive Entertainment" magazine at about the same time. There were already a lot of people, plus the assistants who accompanied them and the agents who came in advance to confirm the process.
Since "Variety Entertainment" had said hello in advance, all the actors who had a team had their makeup and hair done in the nanny van, and those who didn't have a team had makeup artists in the team. Now they only needed to change their clothes and do some grooming.
The person in charge of the connection was the magazine's assistant editor surnamed Hao. She obviously knew something about this and directly led the guests to the changing room.
This was the first time Qin Jue knew that there was a special fitting and changing session for magazine shoots. Although "Variety Entertainment" was not a fashion magazine, it had prepared at least two sets of clothes for each person to choose from, but the temporary costume assistant was not there. , presumably to give the costumers in the group a chance to show off their talents.
The group of people finished dressing up in a small cubicle that ensured privacy. Anyway, it went smoothly. Gu Wensong, who was in the men's dressing room with Qin Jue and others, also touched up their makeup.
Here everyone is in the same class, and we are not on guard against each other just because we are in a group.
After the preparations were completed, twenty-nine people came to the spacious interview room. The couch was divided into two rows.
First the collective, then the individual, this is the usual process of "Comprehensive Entertainment".
This time, the person responsible for interviewing them was not a reporter from the magazine but assistant editor Hao Xin. At the same time, there were four stenographers not far away, which showed the importance of the above.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Hao Xin got to the point.
She played a short video on the projector, which turned out to be a self-introduction that everyone had recorded together a long time ago.
Seeing myself wearing casual clothes at that time, facing the camera nervously or calmly, all the interns present smiled.
"Does it feel like a 'dark history'?" Hao Xin asked with a smile.
Her eyes are very soft, and she will scan each guest evenly when speaking, which makes people very comfortable.
"Fortunately, it's quite emotional." Fang Youwen smiled.
Hao Xin smiled warmly and started talking about the first round of "Entertainment Intern" in a chatty tone.
"It's surprising. I didn't expect the rules to be so..."
"Yeah, no one knew what was going to happen."
"An hour of chaos."
“It’s incredible to think back on it at this time.”
"I thought I was going to be eliminated soon."
Hao Xin listened to everyone's speech with a smile and called up the first round group list on the tablet.
"I noticed that many interns had already cooperated with each other at that time." She smiled. "Looking back, do you still remember your first impression of each other at that time?"
When it comes to grouping, the topics suddenly increase. More than 20 people looked at each other and waited in tacit understanding for the person in the first group to speak.
At that time, Shao Qinglong was still a new director who looked a bit arrogant. In his "Future Lovers", 16-year-old Yu Qing received a love letter from the future when he was in school one day, so he started a relationship with his future boyfriend. Love letters. Here, Ding Mingqian plays her imaginary boyfriend, while the real "future lover", the 23-year-old heroine who turned into a ghost due to a car accident, is played by Lin Rou.
If you don’t tell me, you don’t know, but it turns out that these three actors had intersections in the beginning.
"Yeah, there were a lot of people and the process was fast, so I didn't pay much attention."
Yuan Xiao smiled and said, "But Liu Zhe's acting skills are really dazzling, and "Multiple Personalities" is really beautiful."
Liu Zhe said a few words modestly and said with a smile: "And Jiayi was very good at writing love scenes at that time, and the tension is very high."
"Multiple Personalities" in the third group of the first round has three screenwriters, two of whom are Yuan Xiao and He Jiayi.
"I really didn't expect that it would be the two of us competing on the screenwriting team in the end." He Jiayi looked at Yuan Xiao and sighed.
"Be merciful." Yuan Xiao said.
"No." He Jiayi raised his chin.
The topic turned to the fourth group, which had many directors at that time, and the innocent Qu Nan who was drawn into this group. Although he and prop master Qiao Yuansu had met in the first round, one was honest and kept his mouth shut, while the other simply took advantage of the chaos. He didn't say a few words.
Not long after, "Invisible Lover" directed by Fang Youwen and assisted by photographer Wu Ying was praised by everyone. Although the filming was crude, it was creative and interesting. As a director, Fang Youwen definitely got off to a good start.
Also getting off to a good start was Qin Jue's eighth group. Now that I recall her accelerated performance as a clerk, I feel that the agile Qin Feiyan in "Feiyan" has made terrifying progress compared to her, adding a "spirit" to her "form". ".
Then, in the second round of "Emperor's Family", Chen Danqing's performance and Qiao Yuansu's props, "Father and Son Exchange", Ding Mingqian's dazzling acting skills and Su Su's pure and stunning look back, and the must-mentioned Qin Jue and Liu Zhe's "Father and Son"...
""Empty Monument"! The turning point in the "Yu Xi" competition!"
Photographer Wu Ying looked more excited than Fang Youwen and others, acting like a fan.
"Yes!" Hao Xin nodded in agreement, "After the third round of "Empty Monument", the variety show "Entertainment Intern" has taken a big step forward."
"Family", a realistic and heartwarming work directed by Qu Nan and starring Su Su and Li Zhi; "Family" directed by Fang Youwen, written by He Jiayi, starring Chen Danqing and Ding Mingqian, which deeply explores the conflict between morality and interests; and "Wrong", Yuan Xiao, Qin Jue, Yu Qing, and Zhan Changqing jointly created a stunning and stunning work: "The Melting Pot"!
"Excellent, outstanding."
Hao Xin said emotionally, "I seem to have seen a lake of art and humanities. In the first few rounds, it was still a small stream. Everyone was testing and groping bit by bit. But in the fourth round, it was like a dam. It’s like opening a floodgate, and I think everyone here must feel this more deeply than me, the audience.”
"Yes... this is something that is not easy to describe."
Yuan Xiao made a few gestures, and there was some reminiscence and emotion in his smile, "For example, during the filming of "Empty Monument", for just a moment, I looked at Teacher Qin sitting in front of the desk, with his elbows on the table. , just because we were on the sidelines, we didn’t actually see it very close..."
"I watched the scene on Director Fang's monitor, and then looked at Teacher Qin from a distance and listened to his cry. Hey, I felt at that time that my script this time was correct."
Hao Xin nodded while listening, and asked gently: "It turns out that the script of "The Empty Monument" was revised once. What was the opportunity to change the script?"
"Director Fang, Teacher Qin, and Xingliang."
Yuan Xiao said firmly, "Strictly speaking, the third round is a relatively complete crew that I joined and a high degree of cooperation with each other..."
In the first round, there was only Liu Zhe in the group. In the second round, he was in a group with Shao Qinglong. Watching him shoot four cats, I was really suffocating. So when I met Fang Youwen and Qin Jue, I was very surprised and mentioned Put more energy and thought into preparing the script.
"Lao Fang is a very good person and a very good person. We got along very well. After we were divided into groups, he asked me: Let's talk? I said let's talk, so the two of us went to the private room of the coffee shop and kept talking. Let’s keep chatting.”
Yuan Xiao laughed as he said, "When the roles are assigned and filming begins, Xingliang will be really surprising."
Although Nie Xingliang, who was sitting beside him, did not say anything, he looked at him with wide eyes, "Huh? Let me hear how you want to praise me" written on his face.
"The action scenes are very good, and he can endure hardships." Fang Youwen said.
"Yes!" Yuan Xiao continued, "Teacher Qin helped us a lot at that time, including action scene design and some camera shooting. Xingliang was very cruel to himself when filming the scene. The effect when it came out was far beyond expected."
"——So you are thinking about whether you can set a bigger goal." Hao Xin answered.
"That's right." Fang Youwen nodded and put a hand on Yuan Xiao's shoulder, "After Xingliang finished filming the fight scene for a day, he told me that he wanted to change the script."
"Because the acting is so good, it would be a pity not to make a sacrifice..." Yuan Xiao said.
"Hello!"
Several people nearby suddenly pushed Yuan Xiaodong to stagger, and everyone started laughing.
"This guy really wants to take revenge on society!" Luo Hanzhang said.
Yuan Xiao put on a posture of begging for mercy and said with a smile: "Just kidding, the ending of Inspector Nie in "The Empty Monument" was decided early on. What I want to express is the 'unsung hero'..."
"However, it suddenly occurred to me that a hero's achievements will remain. Even if Superintendent Nie dies, his companions will know what he has paid for, and the people who have survived safely are the people he has survived. and evidence of contribution to society.
"So I can't help but want to ask myself, is this 'empty monument' really an 'empty monument'?
"I immediately thought of Brother Qin. In the first draft of the script, his ending was not so cruel. He would go to jail, but he would also be picked up by Father Lin many years later. Then the father would try to make up for Brother Qin's time in prison. Although he was hurt and wronged, the younger brother was still happy that his sister was 'cured', because a young man's love always stays at the purest moment."
"But you changed your mind." Hao Xin said.
"Yes." Yuan Xiao said, "I thought it would be better to be more extreme. What would happen if Father Lin was a combination of pure good and pure evil?"
"Since brother Qin is innocent, he will remain innocent to the end. Let him compare with his sister. One was harmed by pure evil, and the other was loved by pure kindness. At the same time, brother Qin and Superintendent Nie!" Yuan Xiao clapped his hands, "Again A contrast, the 'empty monument' of heroes on one side, and the 'empty monument' of innocent people on the other."
Hao Xin thought about it carefully and nodded: "It's very profound."
"Teacher Qin's crying scene was so wonderful." Yuan Xiao and Fang Youwen looked at each other, "At the scene, I never felt so clearly that we got the shot of "Empty Monument" right, and what we wanted to express was certain. Can express it.”
Zhan Changqing breathed out a heavy breath and clapped his hands actively.
For the "Empty Monument" team, they are Fang Youwen, Yuan Xiao, Qin Jue, Lin Rou, Nie Xingliang and Luo Hanzhang.
Hao Xin applauded with the others and continued to list the new grouping list.
"From the third round to the fourth round, the total number of groups also changed from eight to six."
She said gently, "Everyone is more likely to meet acquaintances, but there are still many 'first meeting' combinations born in the fourth round. For example, in "Wrong", there is a relatively new team."
"Well, this is the first time Director Fang and I have cooperated." He Jiayi said.
"This was also the first time I met these two leading actors." Fang Youwen recalled, "Sister Danqing and Mingqian's acting skills are both excellent. I remember I asked Jiayi to write by hand."
"That's right." He Jiayi laughed, "I remember it very clearly. He said at that time, 'It's okay. Look at "The Empty Monument", Yuan Xiao wrote it so outrageously and it was filmed. I believe in the actors."
This sentence made everyone laugh again.
"I was a little nervous at the time." Fang Youwen smiled and said, "Is this easy to say? Well, Ming Qian was a rather 'thorny' person before, so I was wondering if there would be any problems with communication...because of his understanding of the character. Have your own understanding..."
"It's okay, just tell Director Fang."
Ding Mingqian was enjoying himself and took the initiative to explain to Hao Xin, "I didn't know the world before. I thought I was very good at acting, so I loved to show off my skills."
"Oh? Then why did it change?" Hao Xin asked.
"Because I watched "The Empty Monument"." Ding Mingqian laughed and shook his head, "Oh, Teacher Qin's crying scene was great, really good..."
"So when I actually came into contact with Ming Qian, I found that he was different from the impression he had. He is a very humble actor."
Fang Youwen continued, "The filming of "The Wrong" went very smoothly. We spent a long time together reading the script."
"Furthermore, Teacher Feng Yuzhi's prop design is very good. He has great ideas. For example, in the scene at the end when the male protagonist is seriously ill and his ideas collapse and he goes crazy and screams in the ward, Teacher Feng said that in fact, we can add a scene of paper flying everywhere. , Medical records or debt slips, etc..."
"What impressed me deeply was Teacher Cong's clothes."
Chen Danqing continued what Fang Youwen said, "He especially understands that kind of charm. In the early stage, the heroine dressed very professionally and formally, but later when she had to use the hero's ideas to deal with it, the teacher said there must be a style here. 'Frivolous' evening gown."
"That's right, that's right, because at that time, the heroine's purpose of acting became profit first, so a woman's figure became her aid in negotiations... Her overall temperament became 'charming'..."
Fang Youwen and Chen Danqing started chatting.
It is a completely different feeling to have the main creative staff talk about the work personally and to be commented by the judges. More behind-the-scenes details, little thoughts on the settings, and interesting things during the shooting were told in this way. Hao Xin listened very attentively.
After "Wrong", Qu Nan, Su Su and Li Zhi talked about their film "Family", in which Zhu Xi's contribution to the props and scenery was also mentioned repeatedly.
There are a total of twenty-nine interns, and everyone's highlight has never fallen behind. Whether it is Qiao Yuansu and Gu Wensong who were at their peak from the beginning, or Ni Wentai and Feng Yuzhi who are making steady progress, from the actors to the behind-the-scenes team, their efforts and All the dedication was revealed one by one in the conversation with Hao Xin.
Finally, after everyone finished talking about their works, Hao Xin changed the topic and mentioned "The Melting Pot".
