Becoming a Global Superstar Starting as an Idol Trainee

At 5:30 p.m., the auditorium of Beijing Film Academy was filled with over 1,000 seats, and the actors who starred in "The Field of Life and Death" were putting on make-up and changing clothes in the background.

The makeup of drama is much simpler than that of movies and TV dramas. After all, dramas do not have close-ups of faces like TV dramas and movies. There are thousands of spectators in a play, and the audience sitting in the back can't see the actors' faces clearly without binoculars, so the appearance of the actors in the play is not very important. For drama, the most important thing is the actor's action and line skills.

In the first few rows of the auditorium sat many well-known directors, film critics, and big names in the drama industry.

The head of the People's Art Troupe, Wang Liqun, was sitting in the middle. He came for Chen Minhao. He often heard his friend Xing Xi praise Chen Minhao. He wanted to know how Chen Minhao's acting skills were.

As for other directors, they are mainly looking for some good seedlings. It is much more reliable to find actors from the drama stage of Beijing Film Academy than from Hengdian group performances.

The majority are students from Beijing Film Academy. Tickets for "Life and Death" have to be grabbed one week in advance. The Student Office especially emphasizes that the student ID card should be checked when entering the venue. If it is found that the student transfers the tickets he has grabbed, he will be punished.

The play started on time at 6 o'clock. Zhang Guoping, the head of the department, saw that many students were preparing to make a video. He came to the stage to emphasize the common sense and discipline of watching a play:

"Please keep quiet during the performance. It is better to set the mobile phone to mute instead of vibrate. If there is no mute setting, it is best to temporarily turn off the phone. Audio recording, video recording and taking pictures are strictly prohibited during the performance. If someone is shooting in the theater, even if the flash is turned off, but The red focusing light will also disrupt the performance rhythm of the actors. It is really dazzling when viewed from the stage, and it will seriously disturb the actors on the stage.

This drama "Life and Death" has been rehearsed for about 5 months. We hope to bring you a wonderful live performance. Record to a mobile phone or camera. So don't shoot in theaters. If there is a classmate who insists on going his own way, if he brings trouble to the crew and the actors, we will ask him to go out. "

At 6 p.m., the show officially begins.

The lights gradually dimmed. In the darkness, the curtain slowly opened, and a narrator said in a deep and mellow voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, you will see the 'life' and 'death' of villagers in a village near Harbin in the 1920s and 1930s." 's story."

Accompanied by the narration of the narration, the stage layout was presented in front of the audience: the sound of the wind whistled faintly, and there were numerous falling snowflakes.

There are four men dressed as farmers and laborers gathered around the brazier to keep warm. Their postures are very different, and they are affectionate and numb.

"It's cold, today."

"It's like a wind knife."

"The well is sealed and the water tank is cracked."

"The snow sealed the house, and the door couldn't be pushed."

A beam of light on the stage suddenly illuminates a handsome woman kneeling on the ground. The woman tightened her clothes, looked at the man warming pitifully, and called out, "Brother."

The man glanced at her and ignored her.

The woman said helplessly: "The belly is getting bigger and bigger, the pot has become a big pot, and the things inside are jumping and kicking, trying to come out, brother, what should I do?"

The man was overjoyed and said, "Come out and call me Daddy."

The woman frowned and said, "What if you can't get out?"

The man said, "How did pigs and cows come out?"

Then, there was a loud cry of a baby, and the simple words "Life and Death Field" appeared somewhere on the stage.

Wang Liqun, head of Renyi Art, watched Chen Minhao's performance with satisfaction.

"There is nothing in vain under the name, Chen Minhao deserves to be praised repeatedly by Xingxi." Wang Liqun couldn't help but nodded, "His body expression is very good, and he behaves very naturally, as if he is Wang Wu. "

As the performance progressed, Wang Liqun frowned. Although he felt that Beiying's "Field of Life and Death" was pretty good and couldn't find any obvious shortcomings, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

When Chen Minhao appeared on stage again, Wang Liqun knew the reason, and Chen Minhao suppressed the show. It's not that the other actors didn't perform well enough, but that Chen Minhao performed so well that when they were placed on the same stage with Chen Minhao, they felt like they stood out from the crowd.

Of course, this is not Chen Minhao's fault, it's just that the gap between the actors makes it easy for the audience to watch the show with a scrutiny attitude instead of being fully invested.

At 8:30 p.m., two and a half hours later, amid thunderous applause and cheers from the audience, the performance of "The Field of Life and Death" came to an end.

After Chen Minhao took off his makeup, he was about to leave when he was stopped by the head of the department, Zhang Guoping.

Zhang Guoping introduced the gray-haired man beside him to Chen Minhao with a smile on his face: "This is Mr. Wang Liqun, the head of the People's Art Troupe."

Just as Chen Minhao was about to say hello, the old gentleman took the lead and said, "Young man, are you interested in developing drama?"

Zhang Guoping winked at the side and said, "Just now Teacher Wang told me that you have the potential to win the Golden Lion Award."

The Huaxia Drama Golden Lion Award was founded in 1989, and was called the "Rejuvenation Drama Award" in the early days. It is the highest government award awarded to outstanding drama workers who have been engaged in drama art for a long time and have made remarkable achievements. This award is the only professional award for Chinese drama art.

The other actors in the background looked at Chen Minhao with jealousy. This is an invitation personally sent by the head of the People's Art Troupe! The People's Art Troupe is the first art troupe in China, the top professional drama theater in China, and the dream palace of countless dramatists: Why didn't Mr. Wang Liqun invite me? Jealousy makes me unrecognizable! Jealousy tore me apart!

Wang Liqun glared at Zhang Guoping, but he did not deny Zhang Guoping's words.

Wang Liqun saw that Chen Minhao was stunned and did not speak, he smiled, thinking that Chen Minhao was seriously considering this matter, he planned to add more firewood: "Renyi plans to rearrange the classic drama "Thunderstorm", Zhou Chong's role has not been found yet. Suitable actor, boy, are you interested?"

Chen Minhao was indeed thinking seriously, but in fact he was tactfully refusing while thinking seriously about how not to offend Wang Liqun.

Chen Minhao briefly organized the language in his mind, and politely refused: "I have relatively little experience in performing dramas, so I may not be able to take on this important task. Moreover, my agent probably will not allow me to invest too much energy in dramas."

Wang Liqun snorted coldly: "I've heard of your mercenary manager."

When Xing Xi praised Chen Minhao to Zhang Guoping, he mentioned Kang Hui incidentally.

Moreover, this "reputable" agent was driving, and suddenly sneezed several times in a row, thinking: Am I wearing too little recently?
