Chapter 496: Sensation in Three Major Colleges

"Zhang Yimou agreed?" Li Xiaoping was a little surprised.

She really just wanted to try her best, and she didn't think Zhang Yimou could be a mentor for a talent show.

In her heart, it was more realistic to invite Chen Kaige, because the company had a good cooperation with Chen Kaige.

Moreover, Wu Yuan helped Chen Kaige to revise the script of "The Orphan of Zhao". After the release of the revised version, it received good reviews and word of mouth, and the box office performance was also good. Chen Kaige owed Wu Yuan a favor.

If Light and Shadow Times came to the door, there was still a high probability that he could be invited.

But I didn't expect that this alternative was no longer needed. Zhang Yimou gave a very positive response after just the first contact.

Without discussing the remuneration, he directly asked when to start recording and how to adjust the schedule.

This made Li Xiaoping a little flattered, and even called Wu Yuan, who was filming "Love Letter", to confirm with him whether he helped persuade Zhang Yimou behind the scenes.

Wu Yuan, who received the call, was also surprised.

He didn't expect Li Xiaoping and Chen Dewei to be so ambitious that they wanted to invite Zhang Yimou to be a mentor right away.

What he didn't expect was that they actually succeeded.

"You also want to invite Gong Li?"

"You really dare to think."

Zhang Yimou, Gong Li, Zhang Guorong and a top mainland actor, such a mentor lineup is something Wu Yuan had never imagined.

It's too luxurious, so luxurious that it's estimated that there will never be another program that can put together such a lineup.

If this can really be achieved, then the final champion trained and competed by these four mentors must be a very talented and spiritual new actor?

Wu Yuan, who originally only regarded this program as a tool to make a little money and help Guangying Kuaibo become famous again, also developed a strong interest in the strongest new actor in history that this program itself can create.

"Leave Sister Gong Li to me. I'll go talk to her for you."

"As for the last mentor, Zhang Guoli is not good enough. Let's find Teacher Chen Daoming."

"If you want to be the backup, let's find Liang Jiahui. This way, the lineup of two Hong Kong mentors and two mainland mentors is not bad."

"It's a pity that there are no male actors of sufficient grade in Taiwan. Otherwise, it would be nice to find a Hong Kong actor as the last mentor. It can be regarded as a gathering of top mentors in the circle from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong."

The film circle in Taiwan has really been completely gone in recent years. Even the actor circle in Taiwan has completely given up on movies and focused on the TV drama market.

Most of the male actors in Hong Kong who can be called now are idol drama actors.

For example, Ming Dao, Huo Jianhua, Luo Zhixiang, Lin Zhiying and the like.

Even if Ruan Jingtian, who is trying his best to be promoted by Taiwan's capital to become the next "movie emperor" in Taiwan, is still a little bit unpresentable to be honest.

The handsome guy Jin, who was promoted by the previous generation, is famous enough, but he is still a little weak in terms of awards, and he is not qualified to be a mentor.

This is not the era when anyone can sit on the jury and be a teacher.

The Taiwanese film industry is so disappointing that Wu Yuan can't even put together a mentor lineup from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong.

"Then let's do it this way. You go contact Mr. Chen Daoming, and I'll take care of Gong Li."

After saying this, Wu Yuan hung up the phone.

He is still quite interested in Chen Daoming, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity to work with him. If they can work together on this actor talent show this time, it can be considered a collaboration.

Well, according to the plan perfected by the company, Wu Yuan will be a flying guest and airborne in one episode of the show as a temporary mentor to give a lesson to those new contestants as an easter egg.

"Brother, is there any progress on the actor talent show you mentioned last time?" Liu Yifei, who was accompanying Wu Yuan on the set, heard the content of the call and asked curiously.

"Yes, there is progress, and the mentor lineup has been mostly finalized."

"The auditions for the contestants can also be started next, and a group of outstanding new actors will be selected from the three major colleges and Hengdian."

"If nothing goes wrong, they will receive three months of acting training and learning from mentors Zhang Yimou, Gong Li, Zhang Guorong, Chen Daoming or Liang Jiahui."

"Finally, the top three will join Light and Shadow Times and be promoted by the company."

"Wow!" Liu Yifei's eyes lit up, and she said without any embarrassment: "Such a luxurious mentor lineup, I want to participate."

Zhang Liangying, Liu Yifei's close friend and Wu Yuan's invite to sing the theme song and promotional song for "Love Letter", debuted from Mango TV's singer talent show.

Liu Yifei is quite familiar with this kind of talent show.

In her opinion, participating in such a competitive talent show is a very challenging thing, just like playing a game level, you have to constantly defeat your opponents and hone your professional skills to get to the end and win the championship.

If you can make it out of such an actor talent show, your acting skills will definitely beat 80% of the actors in the circle.

Just like Zhang Liangying, after she made it out of "2005 Super Girl", although she was only the third place, she made it out with her singing skills, and her singing skills are already one of the best among mainland singers.

"Don't even think about it." Wu Yuan rolled his eyes: "If I really put you in the competition, wouldn't that be bullying?"

"This competition is mainly for students from the three major universities."

"Of course, there are also those new actors who have graduated for one or two years and have not yet made a name for themselves in the circle, as well as those new actors who came from wild backgrounds and worked hard in Hengdian and Xiangshan with dreams."

"These people have been struggling for a long time without the opportunity and platform to show themselves, and have been struggling at the bottom of the circle. Now there is such a fair competition platform, which will surely greatly stimulate them and let them do their best to show themselves."

"The show will definitely be very good by then!"

Why did "Super Girl" become a big hit both inside and outside the circle? Isn't it because it is the first real channel that can open up the singer's acting career path?

Now there is another channel for actors to rise directly to the era of light and shadow. Wouldn't it stimulate those ambitious and dreamy new actors in China?

In fact, it is true.

After Light and Shadow Times confirmed the preparation and establishment of this program, they first spread the news among the three major performing arts schools in China.

Light and Shadow Times will work with TV stations to produce an actor talent show similar to "Super Girl"!

When this news was released, it quickly ignited the performing arts departments of the three major domestic schools.

Regardless of whether they have graduated or not, the performing arts students are frantically asking all their friends where they can sign up for this program!

This is a great way to get to the top! (End of this chapter)
