global actor

September 12, Imperial Academy of Drama.

This year’s semester started late. Today’s freshmen have just finished their military training and are taking buses to move from the training venue to the campus. Although art students come into contact with cosmetics much earlier than ordinary students, from the appearance point of view, compared with

The seniors still look immature. These new children are following the instructor's instructions and standing in line with their own bags. However, the short-term military training has not taught them to be quiet, and they still cannot lack youthful laughter.

Across the street from the school gate, banners welcoming new students had been erected for a long time, which made the students feel the importance of the school. A faint sense of identity emerged from their hearts. This was the initial recognition of becoming a member of the school.

It will become more profound as teachers and classmates accompany each other day and night.

The bus followed the traffic police's instructions and drove away from the school one after another. The students began to cross the road, but soon, a driver came over and exchanged words with the traffic police. From time to time, he pointed at the car he drove over. The traffic police comrade seemed to realize something and looked at it.

Looking at the long queue of students, I nodded to the driver. When the driver returned to the car after expressing his gratitude, he stretched out his palm to signal the students crossing the road to stop first, and then waved to let the driver's vehicle arrive at the school gate first.

Only then did the students realize that it was not just one car, but more than a dozen new cars of the same model driving towards the school. Although the cars were not considered luxury cars, the brand-new cars still had a certain aura. At the same time, these car doors all had a name printed on them.

"Actor's Diary" logo, and then several minivans with the same logo followed behind carrying many space boxes. A small number of equipment began to be laid out at the school gate. This was also the reason for the new students to return to school. The film crew asked for

After the students agreed, they turned the camera on the new freshmen students. The students expressed that it was novel and a little unexpected and embarrassing.

Although this is the number one institution for acting majors in China and the student pool is not as strong as usual, for these students, there are still relatively few people who have seen the filming scene of the program team. Basically, the freshmen who have real filming experience will not follow them.

The large group took the bus back to school together. This was not considered a privilege for famous freshmen, but was more for safety reasons.

Therefore, when these inexperienced children are faced with real live shooting, most of their performances are somewhat unsatisfactory. Some deliberately nod their heads, some do nothing, and some look awkwardly into the distance. They really dare to face the situation.

There are not many children who smile confidently and wave to the camera.

Seeing this, the camera crew also felt that there was no more material to shoot, so they called it a day and left after a few minutes, leaving only those students who were worried about their appearance without makeup today and did not dare to appear on camera. They also felt that they were acting stupid and felt sorry for themselves, which also aroused curiosity among the students.

, guessing the purpose of this variety show’s trip.

No matter what the freshmen thought, after all the new cars were registered, the security office released them. The cars shuttled through the lush green campus and finally stopped in the parking lot next to the teaching building. The passengers whose identities were guessed got off the car.

, causing nearby passers-by to jump in shock.

There are a total of forty-seven people on this trip, and none of them are actors. If few people would notice them on the street, but where are they? The Imperial City Drama Academy, here, they are more popular than big stars, because

Among these forty-seven people, there are more than ten directors, and most of them are well-known film directors.

The rest of the passengers are also top executives, screenwriters, production leaders and other top practitioners from major entertainment companies. More than forty people may not seem like many, but they are behind many of the country's outstanding works every year.

, they all have an importance that cannot be underestimated in the circle.

Everyone got out of the car, lazing around like freshmen, laughing and chatting with each other in the parking lot. However, compared to the topics that the freshmen talked about, the things they talked about were all linked to money, and were far less energetic than the young people.

In order to take care of the filming of the program team, the audition times of these twelve crews have been adjusted to some extent, and the audition locations have been unified. They are all placed at the Imperial Academy of Drama. Interviews for a single role will be conducted on the same day and at the same location.

At the same time, you can also serve as a guest at the New Year's Eve party, adding some weight to this year's New Year's Eve party.

Some of the more than 40 people were born in Imperial Opera. As students who had lived here, they led the conversation and talked about the changes in Imperial Opera over the past few decades from their respective events.

But before the chat lasted long, many people came out of the teaching building, including four tutors including Lu Ze, as well as teachers and directors from various departments in the school as welcoming representatives, chatting with these mainstay figures in the circle.

, lay some foundations for students’ employment in advance.

Lu Ze and the others did not come forward to interrupt. Although these people came for the show, after all, it was an away game, and they still had to give the hosts some face. After their topic was over, Tang Juan and Guan Yong

The teacher came forward to communicate with all parties, while Lu Ze and Lao Song were at the end to put the finishing touches.

"Lu'er, why have you lost weight again? You have to pay attention to your health. Huaiyang Spring Festival tonight? I ordered abalone for you. Eat some to supplement your nutrition. Don't be too harsh on yourself."

"This... Brother Tao, you are really troublesome, and you are still thinking about my affairs. You are much better than Lao Song. I hang around under his nose all day long, and he doesn't even say to get me any good supplements."

Make up, it’s done, I’ll take advantage of you tonight, Brother Tao.”

The biggest obstacle to fat loss often does not come from yourself, but from those meals that you simply cannot avoid. People have expressed enough concern and specially ordered things for you to try. Such kindness is indeed difficult to refuse, and everyone

Having said that, whether to shirk it again and again, or simply agree to it directly, there is no need to use your brain to think about it.

After saying this, Old Song turned his head and mouthed the word "Go" with his lips, but did not argue any more. He automatically filtered out Lu Ze's frame-up. Ever since Lu Ze, the bastard, returned to his master's house, he has not had many nutrients but low calories.

All the meals were taken care of by the women in the family. It could be said that he had to put his hands on clothes and food and open his mouth. The wife was afraid that he would be hungry and confused, and she wanted to give Lu Ze the walking stick that the old man used when he was suffering from rheumatism. Other brothers and sisters-in-law,

They were all thinking about this, so they made some tonic soup and asked these friends to deliver it. Lu Ze's face was much rosier than when he just came back from abroad, and he no longer looked like a sick man.

However, often in interpersonal relationships, when accepting the kindness of others, you also need to say a few words to someone who is really close to you, so that those who want to be close to you can respond to your kindness.

Therefore, most of the people who compliment and communicate with each other at the wine party are strangers, while most of the people who are familiar with each other will chat quietly (except when there are girls). The same is true for the relationship between Lu Ze and Song Guiyuan. If necessary,

, the two always have their backs to each other, willing to become each other's shield.

As the producer, Brother Tao was very happy when he got a satisfactory answer. This also made many people who were not very familiar with Lu Ze also have the idea of ​​​​getting close to each other. So the dinner party became bigger and bigger, and finally there were so many people calling the hotel.

, the other party thought they were having a banquet.

But after all, they had work to do, and the cameras kept filming them. After a brief contact, everyone followed the school leaders upstairs. Under the arrangement of the camera crew, each crew entered their own interview room and waited.

With the arrival of the audition actors.

The audition started at ten o'clock in the morning. The first to arrive were the twelve students from the program group. They were making final preparations with their teachers. It was obvious that they did not sleep well last night. They all looked like frost.

No matter how you look at the battered eggplant or the wilted head, you feel depressed. Even Lu Ze’s four students are no exception.

In this regard, Lu Ze did not cheer them up, nor did he have any words of comfort. Although this was their first interview in their lives, nervousness was unavoidable, but it would be a bit too much to need encouragement from the teacher to cheer up at this time.

Too fragile, and at the same time, the program team also needs them to have this kind of emotion, so that it is complete for the plot.

Lu Ze just led them to review the key points of the script over and over again, focusing on those key points that would attract the interviewers, mobilizing their emotions, and treating the interview with the same emotions they would have when the actual filming was about to begin.

Then, the real actors, the opponents of Lu Ze's four young children, came...

"Teacher Lu, the four students are going to the interview venue to wait."

"Okay, you guys go ahead, I'm waiting for your good news."

Lu Ze didn't get up, he just closed Peng Kuo's script and put it aside. He spoke briefly to the four children who had just relaxed their tension, but then tensed up again after hearing the PD's speech. The four of them were now a little nervous.

Silly, he didn't say anything and followed the PD outside. Only then did Lu Ze realize that this girl Wu Chun had crutches.

…

"Peng Kuo, you belong to this room. Go and rest first. When the time comes and calls you, you can go to 402 for the interview. Come on, don't be nervous. Dongsheng, you belong to this room. When the time comes, go to 405 for the audition. Ju Yulin is 407 and Wu Chun is

409, go rest first and perform well."

The PD brought Wu Chun to the door of the room. Seeing that Ju Yulin was still at the door of the lounge next door and had not entered, the two looked at each other and smiled. After making fists to encourage each other, Wu Chun took a deep breath, knocked on the door and walked in. Then... he became numb.

Xiaohua, who was born in the 00s, and whose appearance she once admired, was sitting on the chair facing the door, with her long legs slightly raised, and she was quietly reading the script. Seeing Wu Chun come in, she raised her eyelids, showed a slight smile, and nodded,

It's like saying hello.

In an instant, Wu Chun's legs became weak. They could only support her body. Even taking steps was a bit difficult. For her, although she was mentally prepared to compete with big stars on the same stage.

, but the program team did not say that the opponent was her "goddess", even though this "goddess"'s acting skills were not very good.

As an actress who has been famous for several years, she first became popular in TV dramas and debuted with a pure and cute image. At her peak, she had all kinds of resources but she had to act in movies. After several box office collapses,

, there is no guarantee of box office in the film industry, and the resources of the film studio have naturally been greatly reduced. It is no wonder that she has to audition by herself to compete with Wu Chun for a supporting role.

As a half fan of the "goddess" and a student of acting himself, the current situation of this opponent is basically transparent in Wu Chun's eyes. Wu Chun is just too young, not stupid. If you think about it, you will understand the "goddess" in front of you.

He would not be her main competitor, but because the other party's star filter was too heavy, and the aura after training was indeed very strong, it made her nervous and a little ashamed of herself, but the stone in her heart fell to the ground, so she quietly walked over.

Position the farthest away from the other person, with your legs together, and put the script on your lap. While reading the script, you will occasionally glance at the other person with a sly look.

The other party is really beautiful, with exquisite appearance, and her whole body has been taken care of by professional stylists. She looks very fashionable no matter how she looks. When comparing herself, Wu Chun will always pick her toes unconsciously. It's not that Wu Chun looks ugly, it's just that she looks ugly.

Without systematic training and transformation, she has more of a wild animal vibe than her counterpart.

And the other party doesn't have a good impression of me. If it weren't for the camera filming, he probably wouldn't even smile. But this is understandable. After all, in the eyes of other audition actors, they seem to be running with them, even though they have the opportunity to win.

It is always very unpleasant to get a role, but then change the interview location and interview time to open a back door for variety show trainees. I am obviously not a book boy, so why should I accompany you to study with a prince who doesn’t know the truth?

Audition actors who hold this kind of sentiment are not alone. It's just that they can't show their hostility in front of the camera. However, Wu Chun is doing well. The truly terrifying private confrontation happened when Peng Kuo was surrounded by men.

During the interview break, it was revealed that the age requirement for his role was not very restrictive, so many middle-aged male stars participated in the audition.

It is often said that women often engage in this kind of contradiction of saying something subtle and hiding a knife behind a smile, but the men who have entered this circle are not much better. First, they praise Peng Kuo non-stop, and then they put their guns on their belts when they are done with the praise.

Great, he made some sarcastic remarks in both overt and covert terms. Fortunately, Peng Kuo's family situation is relatively complicated and he is relatively mature and can control his own mentality so as not to be unbalanced. If it were Wu Chun in such an undercurrent environment,

If you are not sure about the exam, you will think randomly and get confused.

Lu Ze had a panoramic view of the situation of the four people on the monitor. Facing the PD who wanted him to say a few words of appreciation, he did not try to analyze the mentality of other audition actors for the audience. This kind of thing had been common when he was young.

Well, this is a provocative behavior aimed at the person who has the most advantage in the audition. To put it bluntly, it is a weird mentality that even if I can't choose you, I will disgust you. But now these villains' words are becoming more and more obscure. If you don't think carefully about your words, besides

The person involved, others may not be able to understand what these people mean.

As time passed, all the audition actors arrived. After the PD's notification, each crew began to summon the actors to start performing.

Among these twelve groups, the group with the fewest auditioned actors is Chen Dongsheng's crew, which has only two people. "Backcountry" has very high requirements for roles, and secondly, the image requirements are also very specific. In addition, the shooting environment must be very difficult.

This is a very thankless role for many young actors. If Chen Dongsheng had not suddenly appeared, it is very likely that Chen Dongsheng's opponent would have received a role invitation from the crew, but the other party does not know about it now.

The first person to audition was the opponent, a young man with a thin body and fair skin. After staying in the audition conference room for about twenty minutes, he opened the door and walked out, packed his things, and glanced at Chen Dongsheng from the corner of his eye, with a look in his eyes. Still somewhat confident, the moment their eyes met, they separated immediately. Without saying anything, his opponent slowly opened the door and left the rest room.

The emotion of "it's my turn" instantly jumped to his brain. Sweat immediately oozed out from the soles of his feet and wet his socks. He could feel the slightly rough texture of the cotton socks after absorbing water. Not long after, the staff informed him He could go in for the interview. Chen Dongsheng stood up slowly. His knees made a friction sound that he could feel as if they hadn't been oiled for a long time. He folded the script and placed it gently on the chair where he was sitting. He stood for the audition. There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The man's voice from inside the room was like an electric current, which instantly penetrated Chen Dongsheng, causing goosebumps to rise on his back. His body trembled slightly. He pushed the door open and went in. There were four interviewers, three men and one woman. , sitting opposite, looking at him with a smile.

"Hello teacher."

"Chen Dongsheng, is that the right name? Hello, close the door and sit down."

One of the female interviewers was responsible for auditioning the actor's information. She looked through Chen Dongsheng's resume. Although the relatively blank information did not have any impressive results, she saw that Chen Dongsheng was an opera performer and had top grades in school. The woman smiled even wider, whispered to the other three men, and gave them a look.

The lines in this movie are very concise, and there is basically no nonsense, so the burden of expressing the plot and the emotions of the characters must be shouldered by physical expressions, and operas are very demanding on physical movements. In other words, Chen Dongsheng is very good at expressing the emotions of the characters. This play has great advantages.

He sat down, put his hands into palms on his knees, and four pairs of eyes looked him up and down. Judging from the expressions of the four of them, they were also quite satisfied with Chen Dongsheng's appearance. He was not that handsome, but his cheekbones were slightly higher and raised. With the lower half of his face covered, he looks a little thin and not very tall. This is very important.

"You have been studying with Teacher Lu for a few months. How do you feel?"

Instead of directly asking him to perform, he started chatting about daily life. This made Chen Dongsheng, who had only taken on some small jobs, very uncomfortable. In the past, no one would ask you these questions during interviews, and you didn't even need to perform. They just looked at each other, OK. Just take the job and withdraw if it doesn't work. This made Chen Dongsheng a little uncomfortable, and he secretly speculated that this might be the difference between someone behind the scenes.

"Teacher Lu... not only taught me acting skills, but also things in life, which also helped me a lot."

"I hope I won't teach you to be a little old man."

The man on the far left interrupted, making the other three interviewers laugh. All of them have had some contact with Lu Ze. If you want to say that he is dull, then Lu Ze is definitely not, but he can give you the feeling of a retired old man. Fan'er, it doesn't seem strange that a teacher with the temperament of a veteran cadre would teach several little old men. The four of them felt a little confused when they thought about it.

This idle grinding of words came to an end, and when she felt that Chen Dongsheng had relaxed a little, the woman asked Chen Dongsheng if he was ready, and received an affirmative answer.

The show begins.

…

Several days of repeated rehearsals and preparations played an important role at this moment. He sat on the floor leaning against the wall and recalled the days in Dunhuang. The pain of being pulled out of his intestines was remembered, and his brain reacted to let his body Changes also occurred. He soon discovered that starting from his fingers, his strength was slowly shrinking, flowing back to his trunk, and finally disappeared. His limbs began to become weak, and even his eyes gradually lost their luster.

To put it simply, it is diarrhea and collapse.

The wind and sand seemed to have poured into his mouth and nose again, and he was so dehydrated that after licking the back of his hand with his tongue, the back of his hand was still dry, numb, weak, and difficult to breathe, which became his symptoms at the moment.

Difficulty breathing caused shortness of breath, and it was easy to be out of breath even if others heard him. He lowered his head, his bangs covering his eyes, and the four people could only see the tip of his nose. He opened his lips lightly and spoke in a voice as dumb as a mosquito.

The voice whispered an unknown children's song.

Originally a clean and tidy boy with sunshine, at this moment he showed a kind of dejection, with his right index finger on his hip, still gently touching the marble floor. According to the scene written in the script, at this moment

He found that the river bed he was looking for had completely dried up. In the last days of his life, he used his last effort to dig out only lumps of loess. Maybe if he dug more, he would be able to find some water, but after all, he

I have no strength left and am about to die of thirst by the river.

With no strength left to support his body, he swayed slightly, then fell to the marble floor with a thud, grabbing the ground with his head.

He was still mumbling something, as if he was hallucinating, and his eyes regained their sparkle for just a moment. With the last of his strength, he stretched out his hand to grab the loess and put it back to his mouth. At this time, the four interviewers

I finally heard his last words clearly.

"Mom, I'm not hungry anymore. I have some steamed buns to eat."

…

"teacher."

There was no footage of the program team filming in the audition conference room. The video would not be handed over to the program team until the contracts were signed with the actors. The four teachers had nothing to do and returned to their offices to wait for good news from the students.

Lu Ze was flipping through last year's newspaper and just picked up the tea cup. Suddenly, the door was pushed open. Ju Yulin was standing at the door with a script in his hand, but did not come in. The two looked at each other in silence. After a long while, Ju Yulin pretended to be calm.

A smile gradually appeared on his face and eventually became brighter.

"Congratulations."

Seeing her expression, Lu Ze gently put down his teacup and stood up. A smile appeared on his face. For some reason, Ju Yulin's eyes instantly turned red when he saw Lu Ze's smile. He sprinted from the door and threw himself in.

into Lu Ze's arms.

"Thank you...thank you, teacher."

…

five minutes later.

"Yes! Yes! I am the teacher! Director Liu asked me to sign a contract with him this afternoon!"

Peng Kuo waved his arms and ran in like a baboon. His reaction was even crazier than that of Ju Yulin. This is a new play directed by Liu Ying! This is a movie! The highest pursuit of the film and television industry! Such a high starting point made him feel completely

Mo was stunned. Being able to film Liu Ying's new drama is definitely a good sign for him. After all, it was also when Lu Ze filmed Liu Ying's drama that he really skyrocketed. Now... maybe he will also take off?

The corridor back to Lu Ze's office was definitely the longest corridor he had walked. The joy on his face finally couldn't be controlled after entering the room. He fell to his knees and rolled all over the floor. His whole body was twisted like a strange creature.

Just twisting under Lu Ze's feet, Lu Ze couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, folded the newspaper into a fan, and then slapped Peng Kuo on the head hard.

"Get up! Don't act like a maggot."

…

Another seven or eight minutes later.

There seemed to be crying coming from far away. The three people in the office didn't take it seriously at first, until the crying got closer and became clearer. The three of them felt that the crying was very familiar, and Lu Zexin immediately mentioned it.

, turned to Peng Kuo and motioned for him to open the door to check the situation, but when Peng Kuo was about to open the door, he was stopped by Lu Ze, feeling something was wrong.

In the end, Wu Chun pushed the door open and walked in. She was sobbing and rubbing her eyes with her hands. The makeup she had carefully dressed up this morning was all gone. As a good sister, Ju Yulin got up and went over to comfort her, but before she could reach Wu Chun, she

Next to Chun, Wu Chun bumped into Lu Ze's thigh.

The impact was not light, and there wasn't much flesh on Lu Ze's legs. The skull was against the tibia. Lu Ze's face twitched unconsciously in pain, but he couldn't care about his legs at this time. He looked down and cried bitterly while hugging his thighs.

Wu Chun, Lu Ze thought about the wording for a few seconds, and finally carefully asked only three words.

"How about it?"

"Director Zhang... Director Zhang asked me to report to the team in Magic City next week."

"Hi~"

All of a sudden, the hearts of the three of them fell to the ground. Lu Ze leaned on the backrest, gently patted Wu Chun's little head and said, "Then why are you crying? This is a good thing."

"I can't bear to leave you and Sister Ju."

Or how can we say that crying children have milk? Lu Ze is indeed the most spoiled by Wu Chun on weekdays, not only because she is the youngest, but also because this child is indeed lovable. Although she has a soft temper, she does not hesitate.

Yu, on the other hand, is cheerful, hard-working and eager to learn. Among the four, she is the only one who has not been beaten by Lu Ze.

For Lu Ze, after being together for so long, he naturally has a lot of affection. No wonder she cried. After hearing what she said, Lu Ze's smile was a little doting. Together with Ju Yulin, he helped her aside and sat down to comfort her.

, on the contrary, Peng Kuo pointed at himself, leaned over and asked.

"What about me? Are you willing to let go of your brother Peng?"

"Don't give up... your feet are smelly, please leave quickly."

This kid Peng Kuo had to make trouble for himself. After being scolded for a long time, he finally became honest. He sat on the side with his legs aggrieved and ate bubble gum. He silently watched Wu Chun slowly calm down his emotions and no longer said anything that he didn't want to separate.

, but although my mood improved, the tears still fell.

Ju Yulin wiped her tears for her and asked: "Okay, okay, it's not like I won't see you again. Why are you crying? Be obedient and don't cry."

"Sister Ju, I don't want to cry either."

"Then why are you still crying? You even said you don't want to cry anymore."

"I...my head hurts..."

…

Half an hour passed, and there was still no news from the crew of "Backtown", which had the smallest number of auditions. Chen Dongsheng had not returned.

Lu Ze was a little worried and personally called the PD to ask if Chen Dongsheng had left the teaching building. He was relieved after receiving a negative answer.

This child is different from the other three students. Lu Ze can't guarantee whether he will do something extreme. If it were the other three students, Lu Ze would not care if they came back in a few hours. But Chen Dongsheng is different.

.

Another half hour later, the PD called and said he had come out of the audition conference room. As soon as the phone was hung up, Chen Dongsheng opened the door and walked in.

He had no expression and was so calm that people doubted whether it was really as they thought. Only Chen Dongsheng failed to win the election among the four students.

No one said anything, they just stared at Chen Dongsheng as he walked up to Lu Ze and bowed deeply.

"Thank you, teacher. I have signed the contract...I succeeded."

…

The recording of "Actor's Diary" has ended, and the teachers' results are as follows.

Guan Yong: Three students were hired.

Tang Juan: Two students were hired.

Song Guiyuan: Two students were hired.

Lu Ze: All members join the team!
