Guan Ruoying said curiously: "It says that Xue Xiao is twenty-four years old. If I remember correctly, Teacher Shen, are you twenty-seven this year? You two are only three years apart. I really didn't expect it." His acting inspiration will be you.”

Enlightenment is the starting point for inducing interest in performance.

Most people's enlightenment occurs at a very young age, and the objects of their enlightenment are now mostly middle-aged actors.

If Shen Tingyan is really Xue Xiao's acting inspiration, then when did Xue Xiao become interested in acting

Su Shijin suddenly thought of something and said narrowly: "Hey, Teacher Shen has been acting since he was nine years old."

Shen Tingyan comes from an acting family, and his parents are both movie stars and actresses.

He only made his serious debut when he was twenty years old, but when he was nine years old, he was already led by his mother to the screen and participated in a movie.

Back then, that pink and tender little boy with a serious face set off the whole country and became everyone's youngest son.

Guan Ruoying suddenly realized: "Yes, Xue Xiao may have watched Teacher Shen's movie when he was a child..."

After thinking about it, Guan Ruoying glanced at Shen Tingyan, covered her lips and said with a smile: "... A six-year-old kid worships a nine-year-old kid in front of the TV. That scene... "

At this moment, the face of the young man on the screen... burst out with intense brilliance.

How many of those middle-aged costars in the film and television industry graduated from a major and worked their way up? Many of them became monks halfway.

The photography teacher felt a figure flash in front of him, and when he turned around in confusion, the guy who was in front of him just now had flown to the fifth scene like a bird.

Xue Xiao knows every one of them, and many of them contain roles that he really wants to play.

Sure enough, the next second, Xue Xiao's face showed a disappointed expression.

Just before entering the door, the young lady from the program team reminded him that he could give him some reaction.

This show will be the key to unlock this mysterious treasure box.

In the past, he could only lie on the bed in a rental house and dream about playing these roles, but now these roles were placed in front of him for him to choose from!

Xue Xiao: "..."

Shen Tingyan paused slightly.

I almost forgot, as soon as you enter the selection room, there will be a photography teacher following you.

The other three were stunned.

It's really like my little face suddenly glowing.

Shen Tingyan has seen this kind of situation before. This kind of happy expression that can be called "dreams come true" and "this life is enough" has appeared on the faces of many people.

Who are they? What kind of person is he

Choose between.

Su Shijin: "There is really no suspense."

Then the photography teacher walked around with the machine in front of him, took a close-up of his red face.

Xue Xiao's blood boiled almost instantly.

The program team selected two films by Shen Tingyan among the fifteen plays in the first round.

Small theater studio.

After saying that, he shyly stretched his neck and looked around, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if a pair of light bulbs were lit.

Feng Wei, Su Shijin and Guan Ruoying all said clearly: "Ouch..."

Some have worked as plumbers, some have worked in sales, as well as tour guides, chefs, drivers, etc.

Carrying heavy luggage, the little guy stood still as soon as he entered the door of the selection room.

Where did they come from and where are they going

For a moment, he even wanted to send a WeChat message to Zhang Chengyu and shout "Master!!!" to express his excitement.

It’s so cute when you think about it!

However, Xue Xiao's face was the most vivid he had ever seen.

Fengwei scanned Xue Xiao's resume and said: "Wencheng University, graduated from the Chinese Department? I remember that the Chinese Department of this institution is ranked quite high in the country... One year and three months of acting experience, that should be He turned to acting a while after graduation. I don’t know what he was doing before that.”

In the huge room, movie and TV series posters were hung all around.

Shen Tingyan looked at it with interest.

No one knows them.

Shen Ting said: "There is no suitable role for him in this play."

They want to find the most brilliant treasure.

Xue Xiao was not used to such a scene. He opened his mouth and said nonchalantly: "It's the first time I'm facing so many characters. I don't know where to start."

And this fifth play is one of them. It is a movie in which Shen Tingyan starred as a supporting actor when he debuted at the age of 20.

The four of them raised their heads and looked at Xue Xiao on the screen.

A well-known actor, fans will know his past clearly.

After working for several years, there are many examples in the entertainment industry of leaving the original life behind and chasing dreams.

However, most of the fifty people they were facing now could be considered unknown.

His shoulders slumped, and all his thoughts were written on his face, which was a plaintive sentence: Why are there only these two characters? !

That's right, in the fifth play, the characters for students to choose from are a fifty-year-old middle-aged man and a sixteen-year-old girl. They don't have the original role of Shen Tingyan at all!

Su Shijin burst into laughter immediately.

Guan Ruoying couldn't stop laughing: "Didn't you notice that he changed as a person as soon as he entered the selection room? He seemed quite quiet to me in the studio just now, but I didn't expect that he is like a child now."

Su Shijin nodded in agreement.

Feng Wei: "Hey, he's targeting Teacher Shen for another movie."

During the selection process, Xue Xiao turned around and looked around again, and with another "pop", the light bulbs in his eyes lit up.

The photography teacher quickly followed him and flew to the tenth episode.

This is a crime thriller starring Shen Tingyan when he was twenty-five years old, called "Mantis".

The clip intercepted by the program team is of a three-person play, and the corresponding tablet computer displays three roles for students to choose from.

Xue Xiao's eyes brightened even more when he saw the three characters. However, the next second, he seemed to be stunned, with hesitation and confusion on his face.

Small theater studio.

Su Shijin: "What's wrong with him? Why don't you choose? He probably wants to play the role you played, right?"

This was said to Shen Tingyan.

Shen Tingyan changed his posture and said, "Other roles are okay, but the character I play in this movie is clearly required to be a tall, strong, impulsive and violent gangster."

Shen Tingyan is 1.8/9 meters tall, and his figure is just right. He has all the muscles he should have, but for this role, the director still asked him to further increase his muscles.

As for Xue Xiao, he is 1.78 meters tall, which is not short, but it is still far behind compared to 1.8/9 meters.

Although he has some muscles on his body, as everyone saw from that classic scene just now, those muscles are not intimidating at all.

Wearing clothes can cover up some of it, but if it doesn't fit the role, it just doesn't fit. Of course, no one will interfere with the students' choices in the first round. It is not impossible for Xue Xiao to take this opportunity to indulge in drama addiction, but it will definitely affect the final presentation of the play.

What would he choose

Should he insist on playing a role with his favorite Shen Tingyan regardless of the dramatic effect, or should he simply give up on this play and look at something else

Xue Xiao on the screen hesitated, unconsciously grinding his lower lip with the tips of his teeth.

I thought he might have to struggle for a long time, but unexpectedly, after a few seconds, he suddenly calmed down and made his choice.

Guan Ruoying: "Hey, the one he chose is-"

Shen Tingyan's eyes showed interest.

Choose a room.

After Xue Xiao made his choice, the photography teacher probably received a prompt from the director team and said quietly: "... Don't choose the role of Teacher Shen?"

Xue Xiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled at the camera: "I definitely wanted to choose. I would like to try out any role, let alone Teacher Shen's role. But in private, I can enjoy the drama and take it." If you want to show it to the audience on stage, you still have to be responsible.”

After all, there is a problem of compatibility between actors and roles.

There are some roles that he can play with a little tweaking, but there are some roles that he just can't fit no matter how he changes them.

The difference lies in what is the most indispensable label on the character.

For example, if the character label is inspirational, growth, and enterprising, then even if Xue Xiao is very different from the original actor in body shape and age from the character, at least he can still try to challenge on the stage of recreating the classic.

But if the character label itself contains muscular violence, then he would be just messing around if he challenged this role.

Normally Xue Xiao would often force Lai Lai to do anything with Zhang Chengyu, but that was really just a fool's errand.

When it comes to acting, he knows what he can and cannot do.

Xue Xiao tapped the tablet with his finger, and he said with satisfaction: "It's enough to try the plays that Teacher Shen has participated in before."

"Thank you to the program team for giving me this opportunity." He smiled at the camera with crooked eyebrows.

After saying this, he left his photography brother who was stunned with laughter, quickly picked up his suitcase, hummed a song and walked briskly to another studio.

Thirty minutes later, Jiang Lianlian and Chang Yun finished their selection and came over to reunite with Xue Xiao.

Forty minutes later, Fan Xue walked in.

An hour and a half later, the first round of selection for all students was completed.

Jiang Quan came in and selected eight students. They did not successfully form a group and needed a second round of selection.

In order to speed up efficiency, eight students can enter the selection room together this time, which also means that they can discuss and make choices.

Chang Yun used his fingers to summarize to Xue Xiao the popular plays that everyone had just discussed. Fortunately, although he and Jiang Lianlian inevitably collided with others, at least they did not cause a major car accident.

Jiang Lianlian looked at Fan Xue, who was still sitting at the front of the noisy studio, and whispered to Xue Xiao, "I don't know which one Fan Xue chose."

This guy has always been calm and composed. I don't know if he is confident in his acting skills, or he feels relieved because no one is crashing with him.

Jiang Lianlian added: "But Xiaoxiao, it seems that there are not many candidates for your play."

Xue Xiao: "Not everyone is chatting with others, so it's hard to say."

Chang Yun: "There must be many people who want to choose Teacher Shen's play. I almost wanted to choose it just now, but it's not easy to perform. I can't choose!"

Another half hour passed, and finally the eight people came out.

When Jiang Quan entered the studio again, it was already half past eight in the evening. Many people were hungry and had backaches.

Jiang Quan comforted them: "I know everyone is already very tired. Just hold on a little longer. After the selection results are announced, everyone can get to know each other about the teammates who performed in the first round, and then you can go and have a rest and eat."

Everyone sat up straight and saw a form displayed on the screen of the studio.

The next second, the whole place was shaken.

"Ah, as expected, our show turned over. It really turned over!"

"Hahaha, so there aren't many candidates for my show?"

"Yeah, no one chose the same thing as me!"

"Holy crap, I have three groups in this repertoire."

After seeing clearly the composition of the "Praying Mantis" play, Xue Xiao was stunned.

Jiang Lianlian was shocked and said: "How could-"

Someone below was equally surprised: "Brother Xue, you are actually with—"

The man looked at Fan Xue, then turned to look at Xue Xiao in the back row.

The play "Mantis", three characters.

The number one character, a righteous policeman, was played by another actor in the original film.

The second character, a gangster and serial murderer in the film, was played by Shen Tingyan in the original film.

The third character, a reporter with a hidden face, was played by a powerful actor in the original work.

Two groups were established for this show.

In the first group, Xue Xiao, as the third role, formed a team with an extra and an amateur.

In the second group, Fan Xue plays the second role and forms a team with two contracted actors.

They actually came up and were about to fight in the ring!

Fan Xue, who was in the front row, suddenly turned his head and looked at Xue Xiao in disbelief, as if slightly absurd.

However, he soon sneered, with a sense of "you bumped into it yourself" and was determined to win.

Xue Xiao frowned slightly and subconsciously tightened his hands.

In the small theater studio.

The instructors' reaction recording was about to end, and the four of them stood up and took off their microphones.

Seeing this scene, Su Shijin tasted it and asked Shen Tingyan: "What do you think your fanboy's expression looks like now?"

Shen Tingyan looked at her sideways.

Su Shijin: "Anxiety? Fear? Panic? Regret?"

Shen Tingyan: "Is this your ability as a screenwriter to figure out characters?"

Su Shijin: "? Speak politely and don't attack!"

Shen Tingyan sneered and turned his eyes to look at Xue Xiao on the big screen.

It was clearly written on his face that he was unhappy.

It's just that Fan or something wants to play his role. As for why he's not happy like this? Do these two people know each other

Shen Tingyan lazily put his hands in his pockets and glanced at Xue Xiao's hands on his knees.

The little fist is still clenched tightly.
