Bright Star Road [Entertainment]

Li Wei is a fast-moving person. After deciding to go to his art school to select seedlings, he made a phone call, and then drove to the art school by himself.When the Qilin Art School learned that its biggest boss was coming to inspect, they were taken aback, and hurriedly called the teachers, students and workers into action.However, although the distance between Li Wei's major companies is not far, the distance between the art school is a bit far, in the suburbs.Because Li Wei doesn't want these children to step into the society prematurely, although they will face a darker entertainment circle than ordinary society in the future.But children are still children, and it is good to be more happy and innocent when they grow up.

About half an hour later, Li Wei arrived at the art school.However, Li Wei was not in a hurry to select seedlings, but said that he would check the school facilities.The art school is the place where Li Wei worries the least, but it doesn't mean that Li Wei doesn't care.Even though the current Qilin Entertainment is a well-known new generation entertainment giant in the world, Li Wei is very clear that his foundation is not enough.Why are those established entertainment companies always dead but not dead?Because they have foundations.You may have had the upper hand in the past few years, it doesn't matter, I can afford it!And I still have the power to take over. At worst, I will give up these little guys who are online now, and try my best to train the next generation.But the next generation of Qilin Entertainment is too weak, so Li Wei felt that it was necessary to check the art school, because this is the root of Qilin Entertainment.

Li Wei didn't go to the classroom to check, because whether the children's skills are good or not, they will know when they will be selected by themselves.He first went to the cafeteria to have a look. As someone who has been there, Li Wei knows how much resentment the dormitory students have towards the cafeteria.The cafeteria of Kylin Entertainment Headquarters is known as a gourmet paradise. It not only provides three meals, but also afternoon tea and supper.Moreover, the coffee shop and pastry room next to the cafeteria are available 24 hours a day, and there is no shortage of hot drinks and fresh snacks.Therefore, many artists under their banners said that they could not go to other brokerage companies for these delicacies.So Li Wei wanted to know how the cafeteria of the art school was, not to mention allowing the children to enjoy delicious food from all over the world, but basic nutrition needed to be guaranteed.At the same time, Li Wei does not believe that nutritious meals are disgusting and garbage, because the nutritionists and chefs hired by Li Wei have developed many nutritious meals suitable for artists.Not only nutritious, but also delicious.In addition, Li Wei is also very opposed to letting the children who are still in the developmental stage go on a diet. In order to control the weight of the trainees, many brokerage companies start dieting as soon as they enter puberty, and they also go on a perverted pursuit of skinny beauty.Li Wei doesn't think that he would rather let the children lose fat suddenly before their debut, and don't want the children to be undernourished during their development.Therefore, the average weight of the trainees of Kirin Art School has always been an item that has been criticized by Kirin Entertainment, but it was dropped because of Li Wei's objection.

After checking the cafeteria, there is the dormitory. The students of Kirin Art School are divided into two types. The primary school students are all day students, so only the middle school students, which are composed of junior high school students and high school students, are boarders.The dormitory is a typical four-person room with a bed and a table. Each dormitory has a washroom and toilet, and each building has a public laundry room.There is air conditioning and hot water supply in the room, which is basically better than most college student dormitories.Although some people say that this is too much enjoyment, it will make students indulge in enjoyment.But Li Wei thinks, if you have to study hard and train hard, what's so hard about sleeping?At the same time, Li Wei sneered at the remarks that we didn’t even have fans in our time. With the intensification of the greenhouse effect, can the actual temperature in big cities be compared with the temperature in small villages back then?Back then, Li Wei himself spent the summer with a big cattail fan, but now Li Wei wants to scold people if he doesn't turn on the air conditioner for half an hour.

"I am basically satisfied with the school's board and lodging management, but there is one thing that needs to be strengthened in sanitation management." Li Wei said to the principal, "I see a lot of rubbish in the public area that has not been cleaned up. This is not good! And the children The dormitories should also be better managed. Girls’ clothes and cosmetics should be tidied away; boys’ shoes and socks should be reminded to change and wash them frequently. If necessary, the school can provide them with shoes and big clothes for a nominal fee Cleaning of clothes. After all, this is a school, and there are so many children here. If the sanitation management is not strict and an epidemic breaks out, the children's resistance will not be as strong as our adults. Moreover, children's affairs are not trivial. Now, whether the school can continue to run is a problem. You will deal with these things later! ——Okay, you ask the training director to arrange for boys under the age of 12 to come for an interview, and I will choose a leading actor."

"Eh? Mr. Li means to choose the actor of your new film from the school?" The principal was taken aback by Li Wei's decision.

Although Li Wei is still called a "newcomer director" by the media and film critics, there is a difference between "newcomer director" and "newcomer director".A new director means insufficient funds or insufficient experience, but this is completely untenable for Li Wei.Not to mention the Qilin Entertainment Group behind Li Wei, Li Wei's own film studio, which is solely owned by Li Wei, is also a master of money.As for Li Wei's experience, being the winner of the Silver Rose Award is enough to prove that Li Wei has vision and ability.Therefore, many actors are very concerned about Li Wei's new film. This kind of award-winning film is a favorite in the actor circle.

Although actors have a deep bond with making money, they also know that the level of their pay is directly proportional to their popularity.In addition to the momentary enthusiasm brought about by the hype, being able to appear in the award-winning film is the only way to gain the attention of the industry.Senior directors basically have their own royal team. They choose actors from a fixed list, and they basically don't have their turn.Therefore, new directors like Li Wei who have gained fame have become their first choice to pursue.That's why the principal didn't expect that Li Wei would go to the art school to choose an inexperienced kid to participate in the performance, which made the principal at a loss for what to say.

"The whole film is basically a family ethics film, and the main characters are members of a family, so I am here to choose the right actor for my son." Li Wei explained his needs a little bit, which made the principal suddenly understand.It turns out that Li Wei came to choose child actors, which is more reasonable.

So the principal left the conference room and asked the teacher to gather all the boys from the senior group of the primary school and the junior high school group of the middle school for Li Wei to choose.Although Li Wei chooses boys around 12 years old, the age range that can be selected can be expanded to 10 to 14 years old. After all, some children are more anxious or more tender-oriented, and there are also makeup artists in the crew. As for the position, as long as the age difference is not too big, it can still be made up through makeup.

Soon, under the organization of the principal and others, the boys entered the meeting room in groups of six to perform for Li Wei.Some children were cut off by Li Wei just by introducing themselves. This is because their appearance is too far from Li Wei's expected appearance, or their age does not match at all.And some children persisted until the talent show and were eliminated by Li Wei, because these children had a kind of fear when facing the camera.The biggest breakthrough that actors need to achieve more than ordinary people is "shameless". After all, acting is an exaggeration of life, and sometimes the time, place, and atmosphere of performing are not right, but you have to act out.

The talent show required by Li Wei has three parts. The first part is a recitation, which tests the children's line skills.What Li Wei dislikes the most is that the actor's lines are not good enough, not only can't speak correctly, but can't even memorize the lines.Many times, in Chinese TV dramas, the northern characters speak with a southern accent, and the southern characters suddenly speak with a northeast accent.Compared with American actors, although their academic qualifications are not as good as Chinese professional actors, if they want American English, they should be American English, and if they want British English, they should be British English, not to mention Southern English, Australian English, Hispanic English, etc. The niche tone is also no problem.

After the recitation, Li Wei will let them show their talents.Boys basically sing and dance.In the end, Li Wei asked them to practice a stage play together.One of the training for children in the art school is stage play. Every winter and summer vacation, the art school has a so-called performance season, which will let the children perform on stage.Of course, only high-performing kids get a chance.And because the AB corner system is adopted, the elimination system is also very cruel.Once you fail to perform today, you will be replaced by corner B immediately.So for the children of Qilin Arts School, rehearsing a stage play together is simply commonplace.

After spending most of the day, Li Wei finally ended the interview at ten o'clock in the evening.Although the number of students in the art school is not as large as that of ordinary schools, Li Wei, in addition to the primary election, also organized some children he has an impression of for the secondary election.The re-selection is more complicated. Li Wei wrote a similar script on the spur of the moment, and specially selected a few acting directors from Qilin Films to play with these children.

The performance director of a film company and the performance teacher of an art school are not the same position. The performance teacher of an art school does inspiring work, giving students a certain foundation and then letting them play freely; but the performance director puts shackles on actors, Have them perform the prescribed moves, and then make corrections.Although these performance instructions made the children feel a little uncomfortable, Li Wei was able to find out who could better integrate into the crew and fulfill the director's needs.Talented actors abound, and even gifted actors are not rare, but finding the right actors for the crew takes work.

As a result of the industrialization of film, everyone on the crew must become a part of the crew, not the leader of the crew.Only a well-coordinated crew can produce qualified film works. This is an important lesson that these children need to learn.

"Starting tomorrow, you ask Ke Fan to come to me to report after finishing the cultural class. Because some details still need to be adjusted, the crew should let him join the group early. In the future, I will guide his art class. .”

Li Wei left after finishing speaking, leaving only the principal in a daze.With the expansion of the company's scale, Li Wei hired professional managers to take charge of all the other management positions except for the position of chairman.But only Li Wei left himself a position called art director, but the artist Li Wei, the art director, really guides is only the first-generation idol group EVA under Kirin Entertainment.The current EVA is already the most popular girl group in Asia, but after that, except for occasional pointers, Li Wei really didn't work hard to cultivate the new generation of artists.

And now Li Wei seems to be interested in this Ke Fan. It seems that the future Qilin No. 14 brother may be this [-]-year-old boy who just entered the first year of junior high school.Thinking of this, the principal suddenly felt that if he wanted to win over this child who was not familiar with the world, maybe it would help his future prospects?
