The straight man in the entertainment circle

The post-production was not completed until early in the morning. Lin Li watched from the sidelines, and before he knew it, the sky was slightly bright.

The later staff knew they had to stay up late, so they caught up on their sleep during the day. Just like that, there were still a few people who couldn't stand it.

They saw Lin Li beside them until dawn, and they persuaded Lin Li to go to bed more than once.

However, Lin Li was not sleepy at all.

When it comes to staying up late, no one here can compete with him.

Seeing how energetic Lin Li was, those people envied him and said that he was energetic as a young man. But Lin Li knew that he was more energetic than anyone else, and it had nothing to do with whether he was young or not. Now that he had full endurance, he could not bear the sleepiness. Naturally, his patience is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

Lin Li now feels like he hasn't slept for three to five days, and there seems to be no problem.

Of course, if Lin Li wanted to go to bed, he could still fall asleep. The increase in endurance would not affect the quality of his sleep.

It's just that my tolerance for the intrusion of sleepiness has become stronger.

Lin Li spent the whole night watching the post-production editors of director Zhang Dasong's team. These are the best editors in China. Lin Li benefited a lot from watching them all night and learned a lot from them.

When Lin Li left, many staff from the program team had already arrived to prepare.

Lin Li went back to the hotel and took a nap. After getting up, he ate something and rushed to the recording site. It was almost time.

All 500 spectators have entered the venue.

After casually putting on makeup backstage, the three actors from Lin Li and Zhang Dasong's group gathered together and entered the stage after waiting for a while.

The applause and screams from Zhang Dasong's group were the highest in the audience, and they were all used to it.

What followed were hours of video viewing and audience voting.

In this issue, the films of several director groups are pretty good. Even the performance of Guo Xiaoshan group has improved somewhat compared to before. It may be that everyone has adapted to the flow of this show, but even so, Guo Xiaoshan group still The worst of the four directors.

After watching all the videos and voting, the program crew cleared the venue and served dinner to everyone.

After everyone finished eating, the program team tallied up the final results.

"Thank you all for your patience. Now our final results are out. As usual, we will start from the director team of Guo Xiaoshan."

Yi Zhuo took the card and announced the performance results of Guo Xiaoshan group.

This issue can be seen as a four-to-three group of directors. The group that failed in Guo Xiaoshan's group was Gao Yu and Chen Jun.

When Guo Xiaoshan distributed the 100 votes in the hands of the director, not surprisingly, Guo Xiaoshan gave Gao Yu 70 votes, while Chen Jun only received 30 votes.

In the first round, Guo Xiaoshan gave Gao Yu 65 votes and Yuan Xuan 35 votes. In the end, Yuan Xuan was eliminated even though her audience votes were slightly higher.

After the last episode of the program was broadcast, Guo Xiaoshan's behavior was regarded by netizens as an attempt to protect Gao Yu, and there was a lot of criticism online.

Although Yuan Xuan is not very good, she is still better than Gao Yu. If Guo Xiaoshan gave the two people almost the same number of votes, everyone would have nothing to say, but Guo Xiaoshan was afraid that Gao Yu's votes would be too low, so he gave the votes It is very uneven, which makes many netizens unable to stand it.

Everyone thought that after the last episode of the program was aired, Guo Xiaoshan was criticized by many netizens, so this time he would be cautious in giving votes.

However, this time, the gap in votes between Gao Yu and Chen Jun was even wider!

A total of 40 votes!

Guo Xiaoshan obviously wants to protect Gao Yu without offending others, and he is not afraid of being scolded. After all, he has been scolded a lot over the years.

In the final result, Chen Jun was eliminated by two votes.

Lin Li watched from the sidelines. Although he felt that Guo Xiaoshan had gone too far in this matter, the rules set by the program team stipulated that each director would be allocated 100 votes freely. Even if Guo Xiaoshan gave Gao Yu 100 votes, it was his own business and no one else's. Unable to interfere.

Besides, Chen Jun originally chose to join the Guo Xiaoshan Group, and the current results can be regarded as his own fault.

When Chen Jun saw the result, he was obviously a little angry. When the host Yi Zhuo asked him to give his speech at the end, he just said: "Thank you everyone, well, other... I have nothing else to say."

Everyone could see that Chen Jun was probably very angry.

Then the results of Shi Wei's director team and Li Chunhua's director team came out.

Fang Qing was eliminated from the Li Chunhua directing team at the end. When he was eliminated, he also specially thanked Lin Li, saying that although he was eliminated, he learned a lot from Lin Li.

Other actors in Li Chunhua's group also expressed their gratitude to Lin Li. After all, Lin Li sacrificed his rehearsal time to explain the plot and analyze the characters to them.

After learning that Lin Li had selflessly helped other actors in the group, everyone showed their admiration for Lin Li.

Seeing this scene, Guo Xiaoshan felt very uncomfortable.

When he and Lin Li first confronted each other, although their supporters were evenly matched online, on the show, there were obviously more people supporting him than Lin Li.

The actors in his group are all his own, but at that time, Lin Li had no one standing with him.

Later, Chen Qingqing stood up, and in the last issue, Zhang Chaolun and Ren Shixiu also dared to publicly thank Lin Li. For a while, it seemed that the actors in Zhang Dasong's group were in opposition to the actors in Guo Xiaoshan's group.

But even so, Guo Xiaoshan felt that the two sides were equally matched.

However, now not only the actors from Zhang Dasong's team have publicly supported Lin Li, but even the people from Li Chunhua's director team have also supported Lin Li!

The actors in Shi Wei's group have no intention of supporting Guo Xiaoshan, and it can even be vaguely seen that they are more biased towards Lin Li.

Although many actors had their preferences in the past, they did not dare to express them. After all, in this show, they will still be involved in the entertainment industry in the future, and no one wants to offend the other party.

But now that they were saying their thanks to Lin Li so unscrupulously, it was obvious that they no longer cared about what Guo Xiaoshan thought.

Guo Xiaoshan felt more and more that he was no longer cared about by the actors. They only had Lin Li in their eyes!

This is why Guo Xiaoshan still defended Gao Yu even though he knew he would be criticized. That's because he only has two die-hard loyalists, Gao Yu and Zhong Yuejiao, in the group now. He must defend Gao Yu, otherwise he will really be alone. .

In contrast, Chen Jun was not so die-hard, and Guo Xiaoshan had never heard him say anything bad about Lin Li.

"Now, let's take a look at the results of Zhang Dasong's director team. We invite four actors from Zhang Dasong's director team to come on stage."

The four of them, Lin Li, walked onto the stage.

Lin Li and Zhang Chaolun stood on both sides, and the two ladies stood in the middle.

However, according to the repertoire of the performance, Lin Li was flanked by Ren Shixiu, and Zhang Chaolun was flanked by Chen Qingqing.

"Which one of your two teams do you think will win?" Yi Zhuo asked.

Zhang Chaolun shook his head, indicating that he was not sure.

Chen Qingqing thought for a while and pointed to Ren Shixiu and Lin Li beside her.

Ren Shixiu pointed at Chen Qingqing and the others.

Yi Zhuo finally looked at Lin Li, wanting to see his statement.

Lin Li thought for a moment and realized that since both groups were filmed by the same director, the director's skill would not affect the final result.

There are only two factors that affect winning or losing on this stage, one is the popularity of the actors, and the other is the acting skills of the actors.

Lin Li plus Ren Shixiu, and Chen Qingqing plus Zhang Chaolun, the two groups should be about the same popularity.

Then all that remains is the video quality.

"I think we're going to win."

Lin Li felt that judging from the finished film he saw today, his and Ren Shixiu's performances were indeed better.

Although Chen Qingqing and Zhang Chaolun both had good acting skills and a good script, Lin Li didn't see the love between them.

Lin Li and Chen Qingqing had acted out a short confession scene. He felt that when Chen Qingqing confessed to him, the love was so strong that it even made his heart flutter.

In contrast, when Chen Qingqing and Zhang Chaolun acted, although they looked very touching on the surface, if you taste them carefully, you will find that you can't find the love between them.

Lin Li felt that he had noticed this feeling. After all, he was the one who starred opposite Chen Qingqing, and his perception was much stronger than that of ordinary people.

Of course, Chen Qingqing may also know it.

But it should be difficult for others to discover this.

In short, Lin Li felt that their group's performance was not as good as his own.

"Okay, everyone says Lin Li's guess is accurate. Let's take a look at the final result."

Yi Zhuo opened his hand card and took a look: "I announce that the performance results of Zhang Dasong's group in the ninth issue of "The Big Show", the number of valid votes was 496, and Zhang Chaolun and Chen Qingqing's "Favorite" received 240 votes! Lin Liren Shixiu's "Dear" "Children" received... 256 votes!"

"So, congratulations to Lin Li and Ren Shixiu, you have won and can advance to the final live broadcast night!"

There was a round of applause at the scene. Lin Li now had a very high status among the actors, especially the actors who had received help from Lin Li. They all applauded enthusiastically.

After the applause subsided, Yi Zhuo looked at Zhang Dasong: "Director Zhang, now it's your turn to suffer. Chen Qingqing and Zhang Chaolun, you have to distribute the 100 votes in your hands."

Zhang Dasong hesitated for a while, then wrote the number of votes on the folder and handed it to Yi Zhuo.

"Then let's take a look together to see how Director Zhang allocates it."

After Yi Zhuo finished speaking, he faced the camera with what Zhang Dashong had written. Everyone could clearly see what Zhang Dashong had written.

Chen Qingqing: 40 votes.

Zhang Chaolun: 60 votes.

Everyone was a little surprised. Zhang Dasong showed his love for Chen Qingqing from beginning to end, and even gave her the role in advance. Everyone felt that even if Zhang Dasong did not give Chen Qingqing more votes, he would never give her less votes. .

To take a step back, even if Chen Qingqing is given less votes, 10 votes will be enough.

But the fact is that Zhang Dasong gave Chen Qingqing 20 votes less than Zhang Chaolun!

This is a bit much!

Even Zhang Chaolun was a little surprised. After all, he knew that his performance this time was no better than Chen Qingqing's.

"Let me explain."

Zhang Dasong knew that many people were a little surprised, so he picked up the microphone and explained.

"I think this time Chen Qingqing and Zhang Chaolun's performances should be worth 50 votes each, but why should I give Chen Qingqing 20 votes less? There are three reasons..."

"First, I have higher requirements for Chen Qingqing. I think she could have performed better."

"Second point, I personally think that if the two of them decide based on votes, Chen Qingqing may have a certain advantage. I gave her 20 fewer votes because I hope to erase the actor's popularity advantage, so that the final result will be better. It’s close to the audience’s recognition of the two’s acting skills.”

"The third point is Chen Qingqing. I have decided a role for her. In the next issue, we will announce what Chen Qingqing's role will be together. So, I think even if she loses, she is still a winner."

"So...I thought about it and decided that it would be most appropriate to give Chen Qingqing 20 fewer votes!"

After Zhang Dashong finished speaking, everyone applauded. They all felt that what Zhang Dashong said was really good and he was really trying his best to create a fair environment for actors.

Zhang Chaolun was deeply moved after hearing Zhang Dashong's words, while Chen Qingqing could not see any loss at all.

Zhang Dashong's words not only gave Chen Qingqing a lot of face, but also gave Zhang Chaolun warm care, and gave both parties an acceptable reason, which is really commendable.

Looking back at Guo Xiaoshan, the contrast between the two directors is really obvious.

Lin Li and the actors who knew that Chen Qingqing had gone to Zhang Dasong to change the kissing scene couldn't help but wonder if there was a fourth reason after seeing this result.

The fourth reason Zhang Dasong didn't say was that Chen Qingqing was disobedient!

Of course, they just made a guess in their minds, and immediately felt that Zhang Dasong should not be so angry. If he was really angry, he would not agree in the first place.

"Okay, Director Zhang has finished speaking. I think everyone understands the meaning of Chen Qingqing and Zhang Chaolun's votes. Now let's reveal their audience votes!"

Yi Zhuo paused, handed Zhang Dasong's folder to the staff, and opened the card.

"The votes of the four actors in director Zhang Dasong's group were 498 valid votes, Lin Li got 152 votes, Chen Qingqing got 138 votes, Zhang Chaolun got 110 votes, and Ren Shixiu got 98 votes."

"Including the votes allocated by Director Zhang, Chen Qingqing got 178 votes and Zhang Chaolun got 170 votes, so... Chen Qingqing still wins!"

After Yi Zhuo finished reading, Zhang Chaolun was a little disappointed. Even though he had 20 more votes, he still did not exceed Chen Qingqing's votes.

But Zhang Chaolun immediately looked away. As an old actor who has been in the entertainment industry for 20 years, he can still bear this matter.

"Teacher Zhang, can you say a few words?"

Yi Zhuo said to Zhang Chaolun.

Zhang Chaolun took the microphone and said with a smile: "I think this result is very good. I'm a little regretful that I didn't make it to the finals live broadcast night, but I'm not sad because I learned a lot from director Zhang Dasong, including from Lin Li. I have learned a lot. When I came here, I said that I have always played the male lead, but now I feel that I may not be the male lead, but I will play all roles as the male lead. "

Zhang Chaolun is the most senior actor in this show, and can also be regarded as the most famous actor in his peak period among all actors. Now he is no longer young, but through this show, everyone has seen another possibility of him.

Everyone was applauding Zhang Chaolun, and Zhang Chaolun also expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

When each director entered the show, they only set two roles, so the actors eliminated in this episode did not get roles.

There are currently three actors in each director's group, and the finalist will be announced on the next live broadcast night of the finals.

Of course, there may be directors who add roles to actors by then, but those will have no chance with the actors eliminated today.

Zhang Dasong's group is special because Zhang Dasong had already promised to give the role of Chen Qingqing and said it was not the role he originally assigned. This means that Lin Li and Ren Shixiu, who are promoted this time, are destined to have roles.

Lin Li didn't feel anything at all, but Ren Shixiu was very excited.

Director Zhang Dasong's role was something she had never dared to imagine before.

Ren Shixiu was so excited that she said thank you to Lin Li while the audience applauded Zhang Chaolun.

"Thank me for what I did." Lin Li smiled, somewhat confused.

"Thank you for taking me flying. If it weren't for you, I would have been eliminated!"

Ren Shixiu and Lin Li won both of their pairings. Lin Li's acting skills were very contagious. As I acted opposite him, I was naturally more engaged.

The only time Ren Shixiu didn't partner with Lin Li was in the "Crash" group, but it was Lin Li's guidance that made their group shine and win the competition.

So at this moment, the person Ren Shixiu wanted to thank the most was naturally Lin Li.

Lin Li smiled and said, "A good actor must be confident. You are a good actor, but you are not confident enough."

Ren Shixiu smiled and said: "I will be more confident from now on. I have even acted in Director Zhang's play, how can I not be confident!"

After the two whispered, the applause from the audience stopped.

After Zhang Chaolun finished speaking, Yi Zhuo said: "Okay, thank you Teacher Zhang Chaolun for your wonderful performance in our program. In our hearts, you will always be the number one male!"

Applause rang out, and after a while, Yi Zhuo said: "Then let's send off the chapter with the warmest applause..."

Yi Zhuo got stuck midway through his words because Lin Li spoke:

"I have something to say."
