Chapter 539: Collective Review of the Exclusive Interview of "Zhong Entertainment"

Chapter 539 Interview with "Zong Entertainment" · Group Review

Two groups of interns arrived at "Zong Entertainment" magazine at about the same time. There were already quite a few people, and with the accompanying assistants and agents who came in advance to confirm the process, it was quite spectacular to see the huge crowd.

Since "Zong Entertainment" had informed in advance, the actors with teams had their hair and makeup done in the nanny car, and those without teams also had makeup artists in the team. Now they just needed to change clothes and take care of themselves.

The assistant editor of the magazine named Hao was in charge of the connection. She obviously knew about this and led the guests directly to the dressing room.

It was the first time that Qin Jue knew that there was a special fitting and changing session for shooting magazines. Although "Zong Entertainment" was not a fashion magazine, it also prepared at least two sets of clothes for each person to choose from, but the temporary clothing assistant was not there, which was probably to give the clothing designers in the team an opportunity to show their expertise.

The group changed their clothes in a small compartment to ensure privacy. It was convenient anyway. Gu Wensong, who was in the men's dressing room with Qin Jue and others, also touched up their makeup.

Here everyone is in the same class, and there is no need to be on guard just because of a group.

After the preparations were completed, the 29 people came to the spacious interview room. The long sofa was divided into two rows, front and back. The costume and makeup photographers sat in the back row consciously, leaving their seats for the director, screenwriter and actors.

First the group and then the individual, this is the usual process of "Zong Entertainment".

This time, the person in charge of interviewing them was not the reporter of the magazine but the assistant editor Hao Xin. At the same time, there were four stenographers not far away, which shows the importance of the above.

After a simple greeting, Hao Xin introduced the topic.

She played a short video on the projector, which turned out to be a self-introduction that everyone had recorded a long time ago.

Looking at themselves at that time wearing daily casual clothes, facing the camera nervously or calmly, the interns present all smiled.

"Will it feel a bit like a 'black history'?" Hao Xin asked with a smile.

Her eyes were very soft, and she would evenly scan each guest when she spoke, which made people feel very comfortable.

"Fortunately, it's quite emotional." Fang Youwen smiled.

Hao Xin smiled warmly and started talking about the first round of "Entertainment Intern" in a casual tone.

"It was unexpected. I didn't expect the rules to be so..."

"Yeah, no one knew what would happen at that time."

"It was a chaotic hour."

"Looking back now, it's incredible."

"I thought I was going to be eliminated soon."

Hao Xin listened to everyone's speeches with a smile and called up the group list of the first round on the tablet.

"I noticed that many interns had already cooperated with each other at that time." She smiled, "Looking back, do you still remember your first impression of each other at that time?"

When it comes to grouping, the topic suddenly becomes more. More than 20 people look at each other and wait tacitly for the first group of the first round to speak.

At that time, Shao Qinglong was still a new director who looked a little arrogant. In "Future Lovers" directed by him, sixteen-year-old Yu Qing received a love letter from the future when she was in school one day, so she started a letter love affair with her future boyfriend. Here, Ding Mingqian plays her imaginary boyfriend, and the real "future lover", the 23-year-old heroine who became a ghost due to a car accident, is played by Lin Rou.

You wouldn’t know it if you didn’t tell me. It turns out that these three actors had crossed paths at the very beginning.

“Yeah, there were so many people at that time and the process was fast, so I didn’t pay much attention.”

Yuan Xiao laughed, “But Liu Zhe’s acting is really amazing, and “Multiple Personalities” is really beautiful.”

Liu Zhe said modestly, and laughed, “And Jiayi was very good at writing love scenes at that time, and the tension was very strong.”

There were three screenwriters for “Multiple Personalities” in the third group of the first round, two of whom were Yuan Xiao and He Jiayi.

“I really didn’t expect that the screenwriter team would be the two of us competing in the end.” He Jiayi sighed as he looked at Yuan Xiao.

“Go easy on me.” Yuan Xiao said.

“No.” He Jiayi raised his chin.

The topic turned to the fourth group, which had many directors at that time, and the innocent Qu Nan who was drawn to this group. Although he and the prop master Qiao Yuansu had met in the first round, one was honest and didn’t say a word, and the other saw the situation was chaotic and simply slacked off, so they didn’t say a few words.

Soon, "Invisible Lover" directed by Fang Youwen and assisted by photographer Wu Ying was praised by everyone. Although it was shot simply, it was creative and interesting. As a director, Fang Youwen definitely got off to a good start.

The eighth group where Qin Jue was also off to a good start. Now recalling her accelerated performance as a clerk, I feel that the agile Qin Feiyan in "Non-Wild Goose" has made a terrifying improvement compared to it, adding a "spirit" on the basis of "form".

Then, the second round of "Imperial Family" Chen Danqing's performance and Qiao Yuansu's props, "Father and Son Exchange" Ding Mingqian's dazzling acting skills and Su Su's pure and amazing look back, and Qin Jue and Liu Zhe's "Father and Son" must be mentioned...

"Empty Monument! The turning point in the "Entertainment" competition!"

Photographer Wu Ying looked more excited than Fang Youwen and others, just like a fan.

"Yes!" Hao Xin nodded in agreement. "After the third round of 'Empty Monument', the variety show 'Entertainment Intern' took a big step forward."

"Family", a realistic and heartwarming work directed by Qu Nan and starring Su Su and Li Zhi; "Family" directed by Fang Youwen, written by He Jiayi, starring Chen Danqing and Ding Mingqian, which deeply explores the conflict between morality and interests; and "Wrong", Yuan Xiao, Qin Jue, Yu Qing, Zhan Changqing, Wu Ang, Qiao Yuansu, and Yang Dong jointly created a stunning and stunning work: "The Melting Pot"!

"Excellent, outstanding."

Hao Xin said emotionally, "I seem to have seen a lake of art and humanities. In the first few rounds, it was still a small stream. Everyone was testing and groping bit by bit. But in the fourth round, it was like a dam. It’s like opening a floodgate. I think everyone here must feel this more deeply than I, the audience.”

"Yes... this is something that is not easy to describe."

Yuan Xiao made a few gestures, and there was some reminiscence and emotion in his smile, "For example, during the filming of "Empty Monument", for just a moment, I looked at Teacher Qin sitting in front of the desk, with his elbows on the table. , just because we were on the sidelines, we didn’t actually see it very close..."

"I watched the scene on Director Fang's monitor, and then looked at Teacher Qin from a distance and listened to his cry. Oh, I felt at that time that I had changed the script correctly this time."

Hao Xin nodded while listening and asked gently: "It turns out that the script of "Empty Monument" was revised once. What was the opportunity for this script revision?"

"Director Fang, Teacher Qin, and Xingliang."

Yuan Xiao said firmly, "Strictly speaking, the third round is a relatively complete crew that I joined and a high degree of cooperation with each other..."

In the first round, there was only Liu Zhe in the group. In the second round, he was in a group with Shao Qinglong. Watching him shoot four cats, I was really suffocating. So when I met Fang Youwen and Qin Jue, I was very surprised and mentioned Put more energy and thought into preparing the script.

"Lao Fang is a very good person and a very nice person. We got along very well. After we were divided into groups, he asked me: Let's talk? I said let's talk, so the two of us went to the private room of the coffee shop and kept talking. Keep talking.”

Yuan Xiao laughed as he said, "When the roles are assigned and filming begins, Xingliang will be really surprising."

Although Nie Xingliang, who was sitting beside him, did not say anything, he looked at him with wide eyes, "Huh? Let me hear how you want to praise me" written on his face.

"The action scenes are very good, and he can endure hardships." Fang Youwen said.

"Yes!" Yuan Xiao continued, "Teacher Qin helped us a lot at that time, including action scene design and some camera shooting. Xingliang was very cruel to himself when filming the scene. The effect when it came out was far beyond expected."

"——So you are thinking about whether you can set a bigger goal." Hao Xin answered.

"That's right." Fang Youwen nodded and put a hand on Yuan Xiao's shoulder, "After Xingliang finished filming the fight scene for a day, he told me that he wanted to change the script."

"Because the acting is so good, it would be a pity not to make a sacrifice..." Yuan Xiao said.

"Hello!"

Several people nearby suddenly pushed Yuan Xiaodong to stagger, and everyone started laughing.

"This guy really wants to take revenge on society!" Luo Hanzhang said.

Yuan Xiao pretended to beg for mercy and said with a smile: "Just kidding, the ending of Inspector Nie in "The Empty Monument" was decided early on. What I want to express is the 'unsung hero'..."

"However, it suddenly occurred to me that a hero's achievements will remain. Even if Superintendent Nie dies, his companions will know what he has sacrificed, and the people who have survived safely are the people he has survived. and evidence of contribution to society.

“So I couldn’t help but want to ask myself, is this ‘empty monument’ really an ‘empty monument’?

"I immediately thought of Brother Qin. In the first draft of the script, his ending was not so cruel. He would go to jail, but he would also be picked up by Father Lin many years later. Then the father would try to make up for Brother Qin's time in prison. Although he was hurt and wronged, the younger brother was still happy that his sister was 'cured', because a young man's love always stays at the purest moment."

"But you changed your mind." Hao Xin said.

"Yes." Yuan Xiao said, "I thought it would be better to be more extreme. What would happen if Father Lin was a combination of pure good and pure evil?"

"Since brother Qin is innocent, he will remain innocent to the end. Let him compare with his sister. One was harmed by pure evil and the other was loved by pure kindness. At the same time, brother Qin and Superintendent Nie!" Yuan Xiao clapped his hands, "Again A contrast, the "empty monument" of heroes on one side, and the "empty monument" of innocent people on the other."

Hao Xin thought about it carefully and nodded: "It's very profound."

"Teacher Qin's crying scene was so wonderful." Yuan Xiao and Fang Youwen looked at each other, "At the scene, I never felt so clearly that we got the shot of "Empty Monument" right, and what we wanted to express was certain. can express it.”

Zhan Changqing breathed out a heavy breath and clapped his hands actively.

For the "Empty Monument" group, they are Fang Youwen, Yuan Xiao, and they are Qin Jue, Lin Rou, Nie Xingliang and Luo Hanzhang.

Hao Xin applauded with the others and continued to list the new grouping list.

"From the third round to the fourth round, the total number of groups also changed from eight to six."

She said gently, "Everyone is more likely to meet acquaintances, but there are still many 'first meeting' groups born in the fourth round. For example, in "Wrong", there is a relatively new team."

"Well, this is the first time Director Fang and I have cooperated." He Jiayi said.

“It was also the first time I met these two leading actors.” Fang Youwen recalled, “Sister Danqing and Mingqian’s acting skills are both excellent. I remember that I asked Jiayi to write freely.”

“That’s right.” He Jiayi laughed, “I remember it very clearly. He said at the time, ‘It’s okay. Look at “Empty Monument”, Yuan Xiao wrote so outrageous, but it was filmed. Believe in the actors.’”

This sentence made everyone laugh again.

“I was a little nervous at the time.” Fang Youwen smiled, “Is it convenient to say this? Mingqian was a more ‘sharp’ person before, and I was wondering if the communication would be… because he had his own understanding of the role…”

“It’s okay, Director Fang, just say it directly.”

Ding Mingqian laughed beside him and took the initiative to explain to Hao Xin, “I was not very knowledgeable before. I thought I was a good actor, so I loved to show off my skills.”

“Oh? Then why did you change?” Hao Xin asked.

"Because I watched "Empty Monument." Ding Mingqian laughed and shook his head, "Oh, Teacher Qin's crying scene was so good, really good..."

"So when I actually met Mingqian, I found that he was different from my impression, a very humble actor."

Fang Youwen continued, "The filming of "Wrong" was very smooth, and we spent a long time together reading the script."

"And Teacher Feng Yuzhi's prop design is great, he has a lot of ideas, for example, at the end, when the male protagonist was seriously ill, his ideas collapsed and he screamed like crazy in the ward, Teacher Feng said, in fact, here can be added a shot of paper flying everywhere, Medical records or debt bills, etc..."

"I was deeply impressed by Teacher Cong's costumes."

Chen Danqing continued Fang Youwen's words, "He especially understands that kind of charm. In the early stage, the heroine was dressed very professionally and formally, but when she had to use the hero's ideas to deal with things later, Teacher Cong said that there must be a "frivolous" evening dress here. "

"That's right, because at that time the heroine's purpose of doing things became profit-oriented, so the woman's figure became her help in negotiations... Her overall temperament became "charming"..."

Fang Youwen and Chen Danqing chatted.

It is completely different for the main creators to talk about the work in person and for the judges to comment on it. More behind-the-scenes details, little thoughts on the settings, and interesting things during the shooting were told in this way, and Hao Xin listened very attentively.

After "Wrong", Qu Nan, Su Su and Li Zhi talked about their "Family". Although the plot of "Under the Same Roof" starring Liu Zhe raised blood pressure, Zhu Xi made an indelible contribution to the props and scenery, and his outstanding performance was repeatedly mentioned.

There are 29 interns in all, and each of them has never missed a highlight. Whether it is Qiao Yuansu and Gu Wensong who peaked at the beginning, or Ni Wentai and Feng Yuzhi who have made steady progress, from actors to the behind-the-scenes team, their efforts and contributions are all presented in the conversation with Hao Xin.

Finally, after everyone finished talking about their works, Hao Xin changed the topic and mentioned "The Crucible".
