The pinnacle of the entertainment industry

After that, the crew of "Random Office" really contacted Chen Dong, telling him that there was a one-week buffer time until the official start of filming, and also specifically mentioned that Director Wang was very optimistic about Xia Qing, which made Chen Dong feel happy while feeling that this Could it be that Director Wang has lower requirements for acting skills because there are too many directors of idol dramas? !

Xia Qing didn't have time to care about what the agent thought at this time. He said that he was very busy this week, although he didn't take any jobs.

Of course, he couldn't get any job at this time, but he spent all his energy on understanding this different world and "himself".

After understanding various aspects, Xia Qing finally learned some common sense things. First of all, this world is quite similar to his original world in all aspects. This so-called "Hua Guo" is also related to China's historical development, technology, military, and economy They are almost exactly the same, the only difference is the prosperity of the entertainment industry.

The Huaguo entertainment circle in this world is at the forefront of the world. Not only is the domestic development booming, but also a lot of entertainment culture has been exported to the outside world, causing the global "Hua Liu" trend. The reason is that the momentum is violent. Star-making speed, scientific and rigorous communication methods, adaptation to current entertainment policies, and active support from national officials are all important, but the biggest reason is a very special ranking system, almost everything related to the entertainment industry has and only There is an official list.

Among them, the most popular one is the Huaguo Celebrity List, where all the people participate in the whole process. The rank and remuneration of all artists in Huaguo are determined according to the ranking of this list. Those ranked 1 to 60 are first-line stars. Those ranked 61-200 are second-tier stars, those ranked 201-500 are third-tier stars, and there are no rankings beyond 500, which are some so-called eighteenth-tier artists.

This unique system immediately attracted Xia Qing's full attention. What surprised Xia Qing the most was that these rankings were actually issued by the state. They were updated once a year and announced on the national channel on January 1th each year. The official website is the only formal list.

The criteria for these rankings include many aspects, and the detailed rules alone have several pages. The star list even has different scoring rules for actors, singers, hosts, multi-habitual artists, etc., and the details are terrifying.

Of course, there are director rankings, agency rankings, TV station rankings and so on.Xia Qing found out that his agency, Star Entertainment, was actually ranked 32nd in the top 18 agency rankings, and Wang Zhenkun's name also appeared in the [-]th place in the director list (it turned out that the bearded director It’s such an awesome existence!).

The existence of the list represents the cruelty of competition in the entertainment industry. In recent years, the speed of Huaguo's introduction of new artists has been increasing. However, there are very few newcomers who can enter the list every year, and most of them simply disappear in the torrent of competition. among.

It sounds really scary, but Xia Qing has a sense of excitement that is eager to try. Isn't this a wonderful system, the motivation to climb up step by step, and the sense of accomplishment that can be obtained bit by bit make Xia Qing imagine Trembling all over, what kind of beautiful scenery will be at the top of the ranking list in this world, how much effort is needed to touch that throne, Xia Qing felt for the first time that he had produced that thing called "desire".

Xia Qing is not an ambitious person. On the contrary, he is indifferent to many things, but he is 100% dedicated to acting. His yearning for good works and expectations for good opponents make him extremely excited , this world may not be more suitable for him.

After carefully studying the detailed rules for ranking actors, Xia Qing found that the scoring criteria can be roughly divided into the following categories: one is to look at the works, including quantity and quality, that is, an actor's performance in various media (including TV, film, network, etc.) The number of works officially released on the Internet, as well as the effects of the works after they are broadcast, such as ratings, box office, click-through rate, professional ratings, etc., will be converted into scores based on a unified standard;

The second is to look at the popularity, including the number of fans on the official website (this official website refers to the official fan URLs publicly registered by various companies in the name of artists, which are charged according to a unified standard) and the number of fans in the official circle (the circle is an interactive platform similar to Xbo in the previous life. , no fee, relatively high degree of freedom) and the national vote once a year, one person one vote real-name system, you can log in to the official website of the country at any time of the year to vote for your favorite star, these data will also be converted into a certain score;

The third is influence, that is, bonus points for important awards or other special circumstances won this year.

The total score of the three items determines the final ranking order.And in the new round of list just released in January this year, it is naturally impossible for "Xia Qing" who debuted for half a year and whose acting skills are so bad.

Although the understanding of this world and this country's entertainment industry has been fruitful, Xia Qing has had little effect in investigating his own life experience. There is very little personal information about him on the Internet, it can be said to be almost non-existent.

Inside the company, Xia Qing couldn't see the company's boss and other high-level people, and the low-level people such as brokers only knew that the company intended to give him a big boost.

As for his own house, no one knows where it came from. The agent only knows that there will be hourly workers to clean the house every few days. This result makes Xia Qing very dissatisfied, but this week he did not take over He was relieved and felt more and more weird when he received any phone call from the patron.

No matter how Xia Qing went this week, it was finally time to join the group. He took his agent and the assistant assigned by the agent to greet the director. Director Wang seemed to be more enthusiastic than the audition. , Seeing him coming, he didn't bother to introduce him to the other main members of the crew.

The next step is the meeting of the main actors. Director Wang’s characteristic is that before the filming starts, there will be an actor meeting. Everyone will get together to introduce themselves and the roles they play, and make a preliminary contact and adaptation.

"Hi everyone, I'm Xia Qing, the actor who plays the little boss Chang Shu, please take care of me!" As the male protagonist, Xia Qing was naturally the first to speak.

"My name is Shang Dongli, and I will play the role of assistant Chen!" A deep voice sounded beside Xia Qing, and Xia Qing looked at the people around him in surprise. This was a young man about 1.8 years old and about [-] meters tall. , sharp-edged face, short black hair, handsome sword eyebrows, deep black eyes, thin and lightly pursed lips, obviously domineering face, but a bit cold and arrogant, such a contrast is as vivid as from the original book The Duan Chen who walked out was average.

Of course, Xia Qing was not surprised by this person's appearance, but that Xia Qing didn't realize that there was such a person standing beside him until he spoke, which is really strange.

His manager, Chen Dong, was afraid that he would offend people with "no one in his eyes", so he went to inquire about the background of the leading actors in advance, and then talked to him in detail, so Xia Qing knew that he was not bad. This is the senior of the starring group.

Shang Dongli, who plays Duan Chen, is a high-achieving student who has just returned from a prestigious university abroad. It is said that he got the role purely because of his excellent performance in the audition. Can find out more things.

Playing the role of the customer service girl Liu Yaya is Yang Tongtong, a newcomer to "China Entertainment", an old rival of "Star Performing Arts". She is a petite girl with an oval face. This is her first work so far.

Chen Xiaofei, who played the part-time worker Luo Luota, was a veritable college student. Director Wang picked him directly from the Huaxia Academy of Drama, and he had basically zero acting experience.

Compared with the protagonists who are almost newcomers, the supporting cast is more interesting. Director Wang used his connections to invite many stars from the idol drama circle to come as guest stars. Among them, Lang Yue who played the role of the mysterious boss is the most outstanding one, ranking 59th on the star list He is one of Director Wang's first batch of popular artists.

After the actors met and held a low-key small opening ceremony, the entire crew began to enter the state. It can be seen that the crew is all old partners, and everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Director Wang's vision is very good. Although the leading actors are all newcomers, they all got into the mood very quickly. The number of NG cats in the first act was almost all due to the kitten's lack of cooperation, and the atmosphere of the crew was quite harmonious.

But Xia Qing suddenly understood why Wang Zhenkun was able to rank in the top [-] on the director list. His unique eye for picking people seems to be born. Although these leading actors are all newcomers with no acting experience, they are all wonderful and harmonious. The personalities of the characters are very close, and almost all of them can be regarded as their true colors, especially Shang Dongli, whose proficient acting skills even surprised Xia Qing.

Xia Qing's acting skills were honed through failure and time. It took nearly ten years of continuous trial and self-study to cultivate the current self, but Shang Dongli seemed to be born to be an actor, an extraordinary genius The high score and super comprehension made his progress leap forward, which made Xia Qing, the acquired hardworking group, instinctively dislike Shang Dongli, the talented group.

After a successful day of filming, director Wang Zhenkun was in a good mood after finishing work early, and invited everyone to have a dinner together. Xia Qing also followed the crowd, but the dinners were quite boring, especially when a group of people were not familiar with each other. Even if Yang Tongtong, who is more lively, tried to adjust the atmosphere, a silent and embarrassing situation could not be avoided, so everyone went back to their respective homes after a hasty meal, and no one mentioned the second stall.

I'm afraid Wang Zhenkun regretted it very much at this time. After all, the harmonious crew was not embarrassed or embarrassed by a meal, but don't affect tomorrow's shooting.
