MTL - You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular-Chapter 129 The first two nine days [two
◎ These two days are weekends, which is the peak period of traffic.
Not only "Actor Training"
Not only "◎
These two days are weekends, which is the peak period of traffic.
Not only the live broadcast of "Actor Training Camp" will start, but also the live broadcast of "Good Drama PK Competition".
Although Yao Bianliang relied on a written test and won by an overwhelming advantage on the first day, such a breakthrough can only come once.
If this variety show of hers can't produce other hot spots, then it will easily gradually become a foil for "Good Drama PK Competition".
The next few days will be the stage of the formal competition between the two sides.
"Director, don't worry," the employee laughed, "We've already bought the trending search, and in a few days, we'll be at the final stage of our rematch, and we'll definitely attract a lot of viewers!"
According to the script, during the semi-finals, there will be some quarrels between mentors and players. And such a quarrel will inevitably lead to a high degree of topicality.
For this reason, they also bought related hot searches, and the navy is also ready to go.
The director frowned, and said slowly: "How is the situation in "Actors Training Camp"?"
The employee shook his head: "I don't know either, but variety shows for actors are nothing more than a few forms. Presumably, their activity procedures should be similar to ours."
The director still felt uneasy in his heart.
The "cultural quality test" that popped up suddenly before gave them a heavy blow.
If Yao Bianliang made any new tricks in the follow-up stage, then they might not be able to bear it.
"Hey, the final round of the rematch is coming soon, I hope everything goes well..." the director sighed.
The final match of the rematch a few days later was a climax that they had been planning for a long time. Taking this opportunity will definitely attract fans to spend more money to vote.
In this link, there must be no mistakes.
The director paused, and then said: "Not only are there external threats, but there are also many hidden dangers inside our program... That contestant named Chang Tianyou doesn't seem to be a safe person, and I'm afraid something will happen."
Chang Tianyou is the only remaining acting player in "Good Drama PK Competition", and his acting skills are better than other players.
It's a pity that he is not the one to be promoted in this variety show, so he can only be an accompanying person.
"Director, I don't think we need to worry," the employee said, "After all, we have assigned him a role that doesn't suit his image and temperament. No matter how well he plays, there will still be a sense of disobedience."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help curling his lips: "When the time comes, the judges and instructors will lead the rhythm and attribute this sense of disobedience to his poor acting skills. Isn't that all right?"
The director pondered for a moment: "It can only be like this temporarily."
The direction of public opinion is very easy to guide. As long as the instructor fools a few words casually, the audience will follow their train of thought.
Unless the strength gap between the two sides is too great, most people will not realize that something is wrong.
"Let's get ready, continue to speculate on those two very popular CP pairs tomorrow, and warm up for the final game!"
…
At five o'clock in the morning, the players' dormitory.
While the contestants of "Good Drama PK Competition" were still sound asleep, the contestants of "Actor Training Camp" got up with panda eyes on their faces and washed up quickly amidst the sound of the radio.
Today is their first day of training, and no one wants to be late at this time and leave a bad impression on the instructor.
"The program team is really crazy..." Bi Yi could only grit his teeth, and sat up from the bed with a gloomy expression.
Getting up at five o'clock in the morning, military training is not so outrageous!
Don't you all come to variety shows to increase your exposure, attract fans, and hype up the topic by the way?
Who would come to this place to improve their acting skills.
Thinking of this, Bi Yi couldn't help but glance at his bespectacled male roommate out of the corner of his eye, only to find that he had finished washing and was ready to leave at any time.
"Bi Yi, let's go quickly." He pushed his glasses and said seriously, "Today is the first day of class, and the content must be very important."
Bi Yi fell silent.
I really don't know if there is something wrong with his brain, or something wrong with the world.
Why do some people really believe that this variety show really needs to train actors?
Just because the name of the variety show is "Actor Training Camp", no one will believe this nonsense.
"Yang Gu'an, why did you come to this variety show?" Bi Yi asked.
His male roommate with glasses is named Yang Gu'an, he has a single mind, but his academic performance is unexpectedly good, he is the first place in the written test.
Yang Gu'an thought for a while: "The program team told me that if I can pass the assessment of this variety show, I can enter Hudi Entertainment Studio and become a colleague of Sister Liang. So I came here."
He paused, then said shyly, "Oh, that's right. I'm a fan of Sister Liang."
Bi Yi: "..."
After the two left the dormitory and walked all the way to the hall, they learned a new piece of news.
"All the contestants in groups A~F have to train separately?" Bi Yi was slightly taken aback.
He was in Group F, while Yang Guan was in Group A, which meant that they had to go their separate ways.
After thinking about it, Bi Yi's mood became a little heavier.
Group A means better resources and greater exposure. He is now reduced to Group F, and his exposure is definitely not as good as others.
Thinking of this, he looked at Yang Gu'an with more jealousy.
A pure newcomer who doesn't know anything, isn't that just a little bit better in theoretical knowledge and acting skills? He doesn't know how to gain traffic, let alone how to earn popularity, so he can be assigned to class A.
A popular player with fans like him will go to Class F instead.
With a feeling of resentment, Bi Yi walked into the training room quickly, only to find that most of the players had already arrived.
Yao Bianliang was the first to arrive. She was holding a stack of documents in her hand, checking the list of players from time to time, comparing something.
"Hello, Teacher Yao."
"Hello, Teacher Yao!"
The players greeted each other.
Some contestants couldn't help asking boldly: "Mr. Yao, do we have to wake up at this time every day from now on?"
Yao Bianliang glanced at him, smiled and shook his head: "That's not necessary."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, so to speak, it will be a little harder on the first day.
But then, they heard Yao Bianliang say again: "Sometimes you need to film at night, this is a special situation, and you don't have to wake up so early the next morning."
The implication is that except for this special case, you have to get up early at other times.
Everyone: "..."
There was a burst of wailing from everyone in the players' bench.
[Hahaha, this familiar style of painting makes me laugh. The third season of "Good Drama PK Competition" was rolled up by Sister Liang. 】
[Poor children, they must not know what kind of devil training they will face next. 】
[I'm looking forward to it, how will Sister Liang plan to train them? 】
[Sister Liang must have a solution. Back then, He Yanning and Mu Taozhi's acting skills were so bad, but under the leadership of Sister Liang, they have become decent. 】
[Sister Yao is holding a lottery paper, right? Are they going to start randomizing roles? 】
It was six o'clock in the morning, and sporadic barrage floated by.
According to the process of most variety shows, after the grouping is over, the program group will arrange different scripts for different groups, let the contestants rehearse, perform, and finally the instructor will comment.
So in today's session, the contestants will be assigned their own scripts and roles.
"Oh, I don't know how the program team will arrange it." Some contestants sighed.
"Maybe Group A and Group B will give priority to selecting scripts," someone sighed, "For those of us who are assigned to poor students, there is no room for them to choose."
"I beg you, please give me a suitable role."
While everyone was praying secretly, Yao Bianliang also took out the lottery paper.
The discussion gradually quieted down, and many contestants looked at the lottery paper without blinking, feeling uneasy.
Characters are extremely important to players like them.
If you draw a character that matches your own personality, it will undoubtedly allow them to play higher.
And if the role is pleasing and brilliant enough, it will definitely earn more exposure for the actor.
"Number 30 - New York City Government Police."
"No. 62—The famous lady's daughter."
"Number 79—ordinary teacher."
…
As the voice kept ringing, Bi Yi stood in the queue and gradually became nervous.
Those stupid fans are very good at finding things for him, and they actually advertise his good acting skills everywhere.
So far, he has been riding a tiger.
If he can get a good role, then he will not be too passive in the next situation.
But if the role is too bad...
What the consequences would be, Bi Yi could hardly imagine.
"No. 28—undercover identity."
When he saw the paper he had drawn, Bi Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then was instantly pleasantly surprised.
It's an undercover agent, it's actually an undercover agent!
He actually picked the most critical core figure.
You know, the entire segment of this script revolves around the undercover identity being exposed and interrogated. He is the well-deserved core.
Moreover, this undercover male protagonist is upright and would rather bend than bend.
Such a character image is not difficult, he only needs to play an iceberg well, and everything will be fine.
For this type of role, Bi Yi is very confident.
"I'm really lucky this time..." Bi Yi's heartbeat accelerated, and he was already secretly looking forward to it.
Now that he is in Group F, everyone's strength is about the same.
With such a role, it is no difficulty for him to stand out.
[The lottery is over, I don't have any other opinions, why is the heroine Bi Yi...]
[Whether I like Bi Yi or not, I can't appreciate his acting skills. 】
[Heizi get out of the way, of course people with bad brains can't appreciate it. 】
[Actually, to be honest, those who can be assigned to Group F are almost all weak players, there is no difference. 】
[I'm curious, this variety show is called "Actor Training Camp", so how does Yao Bianliang plan to train this group of poor students? 】
[How else to cultivate, of course, is to tell them about the play and teach them how to understand the character's heart. 】
After the players got the lottery card, they also had different thoughts.
Some people breathed a long sigh of relief, while others looked sad and bitter.
"Everyone, I have already learned about yesterday's assessment, and your results are not satisfactory."
Yao Bianliang's voice sounded slowly, and everyone immediately looked up.
So, is Sister Liang planning to teach them plays and train them seriously?
Yeah, think about it carefully, although they are the worst two groups, they have the best teacher in this variety show.
If Sister Liang taught them seriously, it shouldn't be difficult to act this script well.
Thinking of this, the minds of many players became active.
"So, Teacher Yao, will you give us a play?" In the crowd, the red-haired boy raised his hand first, asking with anticipation.
However, to everyone's surprise, Yao Bianliang glanced at him, and then rejected the proposal.
"of course not."
"In the next few days, what you have to do is not to delve into the script, but to complete the most basic and simple part-the training related to liberating nature."
Everyone: "..."
What the hell, let them practice liberating nature?
What about their scripts, what about their characters, aren't they going to make them?
After listening to Yao Bianliang's words, not only the players were dumbfounded, but also the barrage.
[Liberate nature, what is this? 】
[Strange nouns have been added. 】
[Liberation of nature is a compulsory course in the acting department. Because actors need to constantly let go of themselves and break through the blockade of themselves, so that they can perform other characters well. 】
[Hahaha I laughed so hard, if I remember correctly, isn't this the most basic course for an actor? 】
【So what Yao Bianliang means is that this group of people didn't even have a good foundation, so they can't start acting right now? 】
Can be divided into Group E and Group F, the level of strength of these players is not good.
Especially for actors like Bi Yi who were temporarily recruited by scouts, not only did they not have systematic training, they even had a little understanding of the term "liberation of nature training".
Hearing what Yao Bianliang said at this time, everyone's mood sank a little.
A brown-haired girl raised her hand weakly and asked, "Teacher Yao, what about the other groups. Can they just start acting?"
Yao Bianliang shook his head: "No, in this round, all of you will be trained. It's just that the content of the training is different."
"Your foundation is worse than others. So in the next few days, everyone needs to do stage body training, breathing training, and other physical training."
"Of course, if someone can meet my requirements, then I will guide you on the lines in advance."
"We will start acting after most of the people have reached the passing standard."
When everyone heard this, they all looked sullen and had different thoughts.
Yao Bianliang had a panoramic view of everyone's performance, and added with a smile: "In addition, I will rate everyone's performance every day, and the results will be announced."
Everyone: "..."
Does this still leave a way for people to survive?
Whether it is stage physical training or breathing training, it is very tiring.
Originally, everyone was still thinking about finding opportunities to sneak around during training and take a break.
As a result, it seems that there is no chance of even fishing!
[So ruthless hahahaha! As expected of my sister Liang. 】
[Sister Liang's sense of oppression reminds me of my head teacher in high school. 】
[Come on, I haven't finished the homework assigned by the teacher, so I will do the homework simultaneously with these contestants today. 】
[Wait, everyone seems to know what the "liberation of nature training" is? Am I the only one who doesn't know anything? 】
【I do not know either. But seeing everyone's bitter faces, I knew that this training must not be easy. 】
As time goes by, gradually, the working party and student party who rest at home on weekends wake up one after another.
After all, there were only a small number of people who could get up early in the morning, so the number of viewers in the live broadcast room did not increase significantly until around nine o'clock in the morning.
[Here we come, the live broadcast started so early. 】
【Wake up so early to act? How can this group of actors maintain their best condition if they don't recharge their batteries. 】
【Wait... Good guy, what are they doing? 】
The new viewers didn't understand the situation. As soon as they entered the live broadcast room, they were shocked by the picture inside.
The contestants stand up, lie down, lie down, or run according to the requirements, each with a dignified and serious expression, while chanting some lines in their mouths.
As actors, they must be able to control their breathing and vocalization smoothly in various situations.
Of course, there are still some contestants who are completing dance physical training. They don't look like actors, but more like they are taking dance lessons.
Controlling one's own body coordination is also a basic cultivation that an actor should have.
Yao Bianliang was beside him, correcting them from time to time, and giving specific suggestions to each player.
[I'm a half-professional, so I'll give you some popular science here.
An actor, the first thing to do is to ensure that he is not nervous or excited in front of the camera, can relax his body and be calm, which is what we call "liberating nature".
Just relying on adjusting the mentality alone cannot do this perfectly.
Therefore, actors need to go through some specific training to control breathing smoothly, coordinate the body, and even achieve muscle memory.
This is a compulsory course for acting students—but obviously, the contestants in Group E and Group F have not even received such basic training.
I even suspected that they were the people scouts randomly picked up on the street. As long as they look good, they can be directly thrown into the variety show and become a star. 】
In fact, as far as the current industry environment is concerned, this situation is not uncommon.
When an idol star has no threshold for acting and professionalism, the only threshold is the network and background.
If an 18th-line starlet like this is not from a major, he can only ask a teacher to teach him with the help of a brokerage company.
The standards of these teachers are uneven, and the fees are not low. How much the stars can learn depends on luck.
It's okay if the star is willing to study hard. If you are not willing to spend effort and only think about taking selfies, rubbing popularity, and attracting traffic every day, then even if you study for several months, you will hardly gain anything.
Among the contestants participating in the "Actors Training Camp", there are contestants with a professional background and outstanding acting skills, and of course there are pure noobs with very bad acting skills.
Most of the players who were assigned to groups E and F couldn't speak highly of their professionalism.
[New knowledge has increased, no wonder Yao Bianliang asked them to train in this area first. 】
[This is the truth. If you don't even have a good foundation, then what's the point of acting. 】
[So some actors in the entertainment industry can't let go in front of the camera, and their expressions are exaggerated, but it's actually because of their weak foundation? 】
[Just went to the next door to take a look. Among the other groups, there are those who are undergoing line training, and the people in group A have already started to speak lines. 】
[I like this variety show very much, not only because Yao Bianliang is in charge, but also because they take acting very seriously. 】
[Yeah, this variety show made me feel that the program group is taking the career of "acting" seriously, rather than treating it as a way to make money through marketing. 】
…
It's just that boring training like this is really boring.
Not only the players themselves are uncomfortable, but the audience will also experience aesthetic fatigue.
Even if it can make the audience feel fresh at the beginning, but soon, this freshness will gradually fade.
It didn't take long for the ratings to start to gradually decline.
【Hahahaha I'm a little sleepy watching this, they are so focused during practice, they don't even talk. 】
[Brothers, I will sneak away first, and I will come back to see after their training is over. 】
[I just saw that Ke Hai was teaching the contestants how to control the rhythm of the lines, and the speech was quite detailed, and new knowledge was added. 】
[I went to watch "Good Drama PK Competition", just now I heard from a friend that two female contestants were tearing up on the show. 】
[Wow, is it true? I'll go take a look too! 】
Many viewers felt bored and chose to leave the studio. Some other viewers simply had nothing to do, and turned to watch "Good Drama PK Competition".
The live broadcast of the two variety shows is carried out simultaneously. Compared with Yao Bianliang's daily training, the situation in "Good Drama PK Competition" is quite different.
In just one morning, there were climaxes and surprises, and several entries had been posted on Weibo.
On the stage, the two stars who fired CP were rehearsing an intimate scene.
They fed each other fruit, causing CP fans to scream directly, which was very exciting.
Immediately afterwards, there was a scene of tearing between the female stars.
In order to get their favorite roles, the two sides come and go, from teasing and teasing to directly tearing their faces, it is very enjoyable to watch.
They are also preparing for group acting. The players on one side are all practicing hard, while the players on the other side have already set off a bloodbath.
Who can attract the audience more, the answer is self-evident.
"Tsk, Yao Bianliang actually asked the contestants to do daily training?" After hearing the news, the director couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
Fortunately, he has been worried about the variety show "Actors Training Camp" for a long time, and even called Director Lu several times, hoping that the other party can take action to suppress it.
Unexpectedly, before he took any action, the popularity of "Actors Training Camp" had already begun to decline.
After realizing this, the director's originally tense heart relaxed a little, and finally regained a little confidence.
He thought that Yao Bianliang was capable, but he didn't expect that after he came up with a "cultural quality test", there would be no other tricks.
Up to now, he actually came up with such a boring daily training.
How could this kind of show without a hit point attract viewers?
He even suspected that Yao Bianliang's variety show had no script at all.
Otherwise, with a little design, it would be impossible to come up with such a boring plot.
"It seems that we don't have to worry at all," the assistant director was also very relaxed, "We just need to wait for the competition in a few days."
According to the conventional process, several actors will act on the same stage, and then the audience and judges will jointly give the votes to determine whether the actor is eligible to advance.
The match of the good drama PK match is scheduled for next Wednesday, which coincides with that of Yao Bianliang.
However, Yao Bianliang's arrangements at this stage are already so weak, is it possible that he can still be a blockbuster in the next schedule?
Don't be kidding.
This kind of tepid variety show is destined to have no future.
