The heat lasted for three full days before it slowly passed, and everything gradually returned to calm. There is no shortage of news and gossip in the entertainment industry.
Without having to go back to school, Su Ze is more leisurely every day. Apart from the unwavering systematic training, he basically just lies down and does whatever he wants.
"Participating in a variety show?" He looked at Kong Xue and frowned, "What show?"
"Season 3 of "Seeing Words Like Faces!" Kong Xue said helplessly: "Isn't CCTV's ace variety show good enough?"
"Seeing the words is like the face?" Su Ze suddenly realized, no wonder Kong Xue took action, it turned out to be him.
A program that presents the story behind history, an unknown past, or the emotional heart of a certain character to the audience in the form of a star reading a letter.
"Have you seen it?" Kong Xue saw Su Ze nodding and explained: "The first season's reputation was 8.9 points, the second season last year was 9.2 points, and this year is the third season."
"The variety shows produced by CCTV are basically small but refined. After all, we are CCTV mothers. In the past, we couldn't let go of our airs. If we really try our best, ordinary people will definitely not be able to do it."
"Seeing Words Like Faces and National Treasures are both major brands in the cultural category, and they invite all powerful veteran actors. For example, the first episode of this season is a blockbuster, and Zhang Guoli and Zhou Xun have already confirmed their participation."
"Zhou Xun?" Su Ze nodded. After all, she is Yang's mother. Who dares not to give her face?
I have watched a few episodes of the first season, and I am deeply impressed by He Bing and Wang Yaoqing. Needless to say, Senior Brother He Bing is the mainstay of the entertainment industry with excellent dialogue skills.
On the contrary, Wang Yaoqing from Baodao has a rich face and actually has good lines?
Zhang Hanyu and even godmother Jiang Qingqing have been on it, and the reputation is really good.
"This show is very popular. It rarely invites new generation actors. Even Qian Xi Zifeng has never been on it." Kong Xue said proudly: "The third season is off to a great start and I invite you!"
"Then let's go." Su Ze still approved of cultural variety shows, and also wanted to try the challenge of standing on the stage and conveying emotions only with lines. After all, he had been tortured by the system for several months, and it was time to show off.
"Okay." Kong Xue already knew the result and left with a smile. Su Ze looked at the information. Was it life or death?
Turn on the computer and start watching the first two seasons of the program. Since the first season, more than a dozen actors have appeared on the stage. In Su Ze's opinion, each actor's expressiveness, line skills, and acting skills are worth learning and analyzing.
Of course, everyone has their own interpretation and interpretation of each letter. Some are eloquent, some are eloquent, some are passionate, some are calm and restrained, some are complaining, some are crying, some are laughing and scolding...
Some people are good at tough guys, some are good at elegance, some are prodigal, some are ladies...
Some can control different styles of letters at the same time, and some can express certain types of emotions in longer lengths. Of course, there are also a few actors who are obviously not skilled enough and lack stage performance...
For the actors, they have their own strengths, but for the audience, they are like carrots and cabbages. For example, Gui Yalei interprets a mother's love for her children, Xu Tao and Jiang Qinqin interpret a life-and-death dialogue that spans ten years, and He Bing interprets a father's forbearing love.
Stab people's hearts...
I have to say that domestic variety shows gave Su Ze a very bad impression. They were full of plagiarism, scripts, characters, and routines from reality shows with the faces of popular stars.
But there are only a few programs that are like a stream of clear water, flowing slowly through them. One of them is that the words are as clear as the face.
Like this poem, like this letter, like you meeting this word, like me meeting you.
The note is short but the love is long,
Seeing the words is like seeing the face.
There was a time when Su Ze liked to keep a diary and record every day's mood on paper. Later, he was too busy with high school studies and lost the system, so he gradually gave up in the past few years.
It cannot be said to be giving up, but to find a more suitable way to express yourself, and that is performance.
The first episode of this year's program invited four guests to read four letters, all about life and death. Zhang Guoli, Zhou Xun, Li Liqun, and himself.
Thinking of this, I actually had a little expectation.
The time soon reached the recording time. Su Ze came to the scene and met Zhou Xun as soon as he entered the door.
"I haven't congratulated you on becoming the King of Visions yet." Zhou Xun was still so straightforward and said straight to the point: "The gold content of the Golden Eagle is not good, I will get a better one next time."
Su Ze: "..."
Why didn't he say anything the day he won the award?
Turns out he doesn’t like it!
"Hahaha." Zhou Xun enjoyed Su Ze's frustration and joked: "Young people should have lofty goals. The three golden horses, golden statues and golden roosters in Chinese are your stars and the sea!"
"Nothing else will work!"
Su Ze was speechless. Sister, can you please stop talking while standing and talking?
"Hey, you're here so early?" Zhang Guoli walked into the rest room, saw the two of them and smiled: "We are chatting."
"Hello, Teacher Guoli." Su Ze took the initiative to step forward and said hello, "My name is Su Ze."
"I know you." Zhang Guoli smiled and said, "Many people praise you."
Su Ze said politely, "You must respect the seniors, especially Teacher Guoli. Although his son is a cheater, he is still good."
As soon as the three of them sat down, Li Liqun arrived. This is also an old drama star that Su Ze admired very much. He can be called the light of the treasure island.
Seeing that the four guests had arrived, Director Guan Zhengwen began to arrange the process. Because Zhang Guoli, an old Jianghu and the host of National Treasures, was familiar with the matter, he could get it done quickly.
In fact, there is no script. Whoever's turn it is comes to the stage to read the letter. They simply stand and rely solely on their line skills.
Looking at the other three people preparing seriously, Su Ze suddenly understood something: why is there no traffic willing to come?
Strength does not allow it!
"Young people have good memories, can they finish the manuscript?" Zhang Guoli asked Su Ze.
"It's okay." Su Ze smiled and said, "It's not a big problem."
"Then let's go off the script!" Zhang Guoli was satisfied and said to Li Liqun: "In the past, filming was all off the script. Whoever dares to go on stage with the script without memorizing the words will have dinner!"
"Hahaha!"
Su Ze was speechless, the pressure was so great.
Regardless of whether I can go off script or not, there is actually a teleprompter in front of me, but the audience can't see it.
Zhang Guoli didn't mean to be difficult. Memorizing lyrics without script is the minimum requirement for an actor. You can't even remember what you should say?
What a fart!
We were almost ready and the recording officially started. The first person to appear was Zhou Xun. The audience was eagerly waiting for it. This time there was a reform. Xu Tao was the guest to introduce the background of the story in advance.
The letters contain the brush with death, the pain of the living, the courage to face death, and the dilemma of loyalty and filial piety in the face of life and death.
"God forbids me to go to Treasure Island. Have you ever experienced death?"
"What kind of despair is that!"
Su Ze stood in the background, and the first letter Zhou Xun read was a letter from Zhou Luyun, a survivor of the Taiping Wheel, to his family.
Known as the domestic version of Titanic, it is a sad elegy for those mainlanders who were displaced and rushed to the treasure island.
"I just felt that my body was sinking, and the water was sliding past my ears. I could also hear the whirring sound of the water sliding past my ears."
"It felt like my body was trapped in something, and water kept entering my stomach from my mouth, nose, and ears. I thought for a moment that everything was over."
Zhou Xun read out the scene of the shipwreck word for word with a slightly hoarse voice.
When you close your eyes, you seem to see a ship gradually tilting. People are like drowning ants, shouting and sinking, grabbing everything around them that they can rely on, trying to survive.
I have to say that she controls emotions very well, and can read a little girl's helplessness and confusion in the face of a sudden disaster. Especially when she reads that the protagonist cannot face his dead cousin's father after experiencing life and death...
I paused for a while because I was choking.
Suddenly the audience burst into applause, and Su Ze couldn't help but frown. He seemed to be comforting, but in fact, his emotional state was interrupted.
Pity!
As expected of a movie queen, she quickly adjusted her state and continued reading. In her voice, she seemed to see the protagonist desperately climbing up a wooden board. Seeing those eyes open in the sea, it was like the end of the world, frightened, helpless, desperate, and unwilling.
Fourteen hours after the accident, the protagonist was rescued. When he returned to the dock, facing the relatives of his friends who were traveling with him, he did not show the happiness and joy that should be expected in the aftermath of the disaster.
He just said lightly: "I think God will not allow us to go to Treasure Island!"
