After Sheng Jiaoyang called Lin Na, she felt strange, but before she could think about it, a staff member came over.
"Teacher Xu, get ready to start recording."
She put away her phone and walked back to her seat at the judges' table.
Today is the fifth day of the New Year, and her casting competition has already passed the initial audition, and thirty people from all over the country who participated in the competition have been selected for re-examination.
The casting competition was organized in cooperation with the video website managed by Li Yu. Almost all the procedures were formulated by the director team in charge of this competition. Only the questions during the competition were decided by Jiaojiao and the others.
Thirty contestants gathered together today, all young and handsome, some are outgoing and cheerful, some are silent and reserved, some are nervous, and some are completely distracted.
Until someone takes a seat in the middle of the judges' table.
Before coming to participate in the competition, everyone knew that the final selected person would star in the movie with Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao is now a goddess in the minds of many people. She is good-looking, has a good temperament, and is tall. Not only is she good at studies, she is also a painter. The important thing is that she is now rich!
While his peers were still lying in bed watching TV dramas and novels, he had already achieved some success and became the chairman of a large company.
"My goddess looks good anytime!"
"Oh my god! I'm so excited to see my goddess so close."
"It feels like Jiaojiao's whole body is glowing. She's even more beautiful than what I saw on TV."
A group of young men stood there chattering. It's no wonder. If they can win in the end, they will reach the sky in one step. They will directly partner with the now extremely popular actress to star in the movie's leading role, and they will rise to fame from then on.
Although Zhao Zhao, the host of this casting competition called "Star Road", is not very well-known, he is not a newcomer. When he saw that the three judges were already seated, he immediately walked to the middle of the stage to host.
After making some opening remarks and introducing the three judges on the judges' bench to the audience, we officially entered the first part of today's re-examination - self-introduction.
There are no specific rules for this session, except that the time is limited to one minute, and there are no other regulations.
In short, this link is to allow the contestants to show their faces in front of the camera. It would be great if it can impress both the audience and the judges.
The contestants who come to participate in the casting competition must have the intention to enter the entertainment industry. If they can make the audience remember or even like them during the competition, even if they cannot make it to the finals and cannot win the leading actor, it will still be beneficial.
The three judges' seats include the three most important figures in the crew, the director, the screenwriter, the heroine and the investor.
If any of them can catch the eyes of the three of them first, it will only be good for the next game.
Everyone is not stupid. They knew this very well before coming here, so most of them gave 200% of their attention during the self-introduction process.
Some people can really make people remember that person, but some people use too much force. Although they are remembered, the impression is not very good.
Of course, there are also those who are more calm and reserved, such as the gentle boy who just introduced himself.
During the self-introduction session, the judges can ask questions after the contestants have introduced themselves.
Sheng Jiaoyang looked at the shyly smiling boy on the stage, leaned slightly and said into the microphone: "Song Junyi, I know you."
The scene was in an uproar, especially the players.
Host Zhao Zhao looked at the scene that was a little noisy because of Jiaojiao's words. He coughed and said, "Jiaojiao, I'm really curious. Please allow me to ask, how do you know each other?"
Sheng Jiaoyang smiled and said: "I met Song Junyi at my fan meeting in December last year, and he even got a gift from me."
"It turns out that Song Junyi is a die-hard fan of Jiaojiao!" Zhao Zhao said.
Seeing that some players had expressions of unfairness on their faces, Zhao Zhao immediately said, "But the others are all Jiaojiao fans, right?" He turned the microphone towards the players' seats.
"Yes!!!" Everyone responded positively.
No one wants to let Song Junyi get extra points in this session because he is a fan. This is unfair to them.
Sheng Jiaoyang smiled faintly and said: "Even if you are my fans, I will not give in, because I have to be responsible for the movie and our audience. Director Qin, screenwriter Ma, I will strictly control it. Choose the most suitable male protagonist.”
After hearing what she said, the players felt relieved.
Ma Tingting said with a smile: "This Song Junyi can go down and rest first. We don't need to ask you why you came to participate in the competition. You don't need to guess. You know you are here for us Jiaojiao."
Everyone present laughed.
Immediately after introducing each one, the host Zhao Zhao came out to say something again, joked a few words with the judges to liven up the atmosphere, and then announced the entry into the second stage - the test of line memory.
In this session, teams will be formed in pairs, and then a rival scene will be randomly selected from the system.
After being divided into groups, all the contestants entered into quick memory of their lines. The program team only gave them five minutes to memorize their lines. After five minutes of temporary memory, all scripts will be taken away by the program team.
After five minutes, representatives from each of the fifteen groups will come out to draw the order.
The later the appearance order is, the more disadvantageous it is obviously, because temporary memory has a time limit, and the longer the time, the fuzzy the temporary memory in the brain will be.
To be honest, many young people nowadays have poor memory. On the one hand, it is because they rely too much on external forces. On the other hand, the information they are exposed to is too much and too complicated. People have become accustomed to looking at things and thinking about things, and their memory has not been reduced. increase.
"Come on, handsome guys, show off your skills and see who can memorize lines the fastest and most accurately." Zhao Zhao said energetically.
During this session, the three judges were carefully observing the performance of the contestants. They were not only looking at the contestants' ability to memorize their lines, but also their ability to read the lines and their expressions when reciting the lines.
Although many TV movies now hire additional voice actors to dub, speaking lines is a basic skill of an actor. You cannot not memorize your lines just because there are voice actors. That will definitely not work. Even if there are voice actors, first of all, you have to speak The shape is right.
Some contestants think that this link is just a pure test of memory, so they try their best to memorize and memorize their lines, but neglect other aspects. And those contestants who can pay attention to their expressions and tone when reciting their lines will naturally get more points from the judges, even if their lines are not remembered so accurately.
The third step is for all contestants to take a set of hard photos.
The judges will combine these three links and then select fifteen contestants to advance to the next round.
Of course, the selection results are decided by the judges behind the scenes.
Because it is not a live broadcast, the results do not need to be given on the spot.
Backstage, Sheng Jiaoyang, Qin Anliang and Ma Tingting quickly selected fifteen players based on their photos and the impressions these players had left on them in the first two rounds.
On the player bench, all the players looked worried.
“I don’t know if I have any hope of making it to the next round.”
"God bless!"
"I must enter the finals!"
Many players are praying.
As time moved forward, everyone looked nervous.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the three judges returned to the judging table.
"After discussions with Director Qin and Screenwriter Ma, we finally selected fifteen contestants who can advance to the next round." Sheng Jiaoyang raised a stack of photos in his hand, "Now the results are in my hands. "
"The contestant whose name I read will come up and get your photo. After you get the photo, please stand on the stage."
Sheng Jiaoyang spoke in a calm tone. She picked up a photo and read the name written on the back of the photo. The contestant came forward to take the photo with a look of joy on his face.
Some people in the contestants' seats didn't look very good.
"How come this guy can get in? He just memorized his lines so badly!"
"He's not as good looking as me, but he can still advance?"
"Why are we in the same group, and why did he get a promotion spot? But I didn't?!"
As contestants came on stage one by one to take photos, the remaining contestants became more and more anxious and disappointed, and at the same time expressed doubts about the judges' selection criteria.
When the last contestant was called to the stage, the remaining contestants relaxed. After all, the dust had settled, right
"Song Junyi, you are a die-hard fan, but you can't even go up?" Someone said immediately when they saw that Song Junyi also failed to go up.
"To be honest, I think you performed very well just now, Song Junyi. Your emotions were on point when you recited your lines and you didn't make any mistakes. Why can't you even advance to the next round? Now I'm starting to doubt their selection criteria. "
"By the way, have you ever thought about another possibility?" A voice said weakly.
Everyone else in the contestants' seats was stunned.
Another possibility
At this moment, Jiaojiao, who had finished sending the photo, spoke.
"To the players who got the photos, I'm sorry that you won't be able to qualify for the next round. The photos will be regarded as a souvenir of your participation in the competition."
The contestants who were standing on the stage in great joy all felt as if they had suffered a disaster, and their expressions all dropped.
"Don't be discouraged. You can't advance to the next round, not because you are not good, but because you are not destined to be the leading actor in our movie. I hope you can shine in all walks of life after you go back." Sheng Jiaoyang continued. .
"Our contestants are leaving, why not invite the three judges to take a photo together?" Zhao Zhao suggested.
Of course, the three judges would not refuse.
After the group photo was taken and these contestants were sent away, the remaining fifteen contestants were called onto the stage one by one by their names.
Finally, Zhao Zhao announced to the camera that the re-election was over. (To be continued)
