Chapter 506: Brutal Competition, 50 to 28!

The five-story building rented by the "Actors Please Take Your Place" program team has been renovated.

This five-story building is quite large. It used to be a dormitory for employees of an electronics factory. There are eight rooms on each floor. Each room can accommodate at least two people. If there are more people, it can be made into a four-person room like a student dormitory.

After the program team rearranged it, the first floor is now a female dormitory. There are eight rooms in each room, which can accommodate two contestants, and can accommodate 16 girls.

On the second floor, two rooms are female dormitories, and the rest of the rooms have been connected to make a rest area for girls, including a kitchen, a gym, a living room with a large TV and a sofa, and a leisure room.

The 3rd and 4th floors are male dormitories, and the top floor has also been changed into a leisure activity area for boys.

The reason why the leisure area, kitchen, and exercise area for boys and girls are separated so much is mainly because these students have made their debut in the entertainment industry since they participated in this program.

And the stars in the entertainment industry must pay attention to the sense of distance and sense of propriety between men and women.

After all, this is not a love variety show, and although the domestic entertainment industry is not as extreme as Japan and South Korea in terms of celebrity romance, it does not want to see newly debuted actors fall in love.

So the program team still has to take some precautions to prevent these contestants from falling in love at public expense when they don't get a good ranking.

This is not alarmist, nor is it overly cautious.

50 young people with an average age of less than 24 years old live under the same roof for two months, eat and live together, and record variety shows together. If they live together, how can they not spark some love?

It is the right age for love, plus the handsome men and beautiful women, and they are together day and night, and something may happen.

The program team of "Actors Please Take Your Place" is to select outstanding actors, not to hold a social gathering for these, who are considered to be the best newcomers in the new generation of domestic actors.

So to be on the safe side, the program team still completely separates the accommodation areas for men and women, so that at least they will only have the opportunity to stay together when they are working.

However, the contestants who are arriving at the dormitory one after another now have no time to think about these things.

"Wow, this dormitory is nice, much better than the dormitory in school!"

"It's worthy of being the era of light and shadow. The treatment is really good. Even if I don't make a name for myself in the end, it's worth living here for two months!"

The contestants from the wild and the academic schools gathered in twos and threes, exploring their new homes where they will live for the next two months.

Not to mention, in 2011, the dormitory environment arranged for them by "Actors Please Take Your Place" is really top-notch.

This is also because Wu Yuan specifically instructed to provide these contestants with a good rest environment, so Li Xiaoping spent a lot of money to redecorate the interior.

The dormitory for two people is ten square meters, not crowded at all, with a bathroom, air conditioner, refrigerator, and two computers, which is very convenient for rest and entertainment.

The public area belonging to everyone has more than a dozen fitness equipment, as well as a large TV of more than 50 inches, and the kitchen area is both Chinese and Western.

The contestants from the three major colleges are fine, most of them have good family conditions, they are either rich or noble, and their home environment is similar to this.

But those contestants who come from wild backgrounds are different.

Zhao Liying, who just came to the public rest area on the second floor with a cute pink suitcase, found everything strange.

She came out of the countryside at the age of 19. Although she has seen big directors like Feng Xiaogang, has been struggling in the circle for several years, and has played many small roles, Zhao Liying has never lived in such a good house.

Zhao Liying, who usually lives in a standard hotel room arranged by the crew or a well-decorated single-room rented by the company, was shocked by the accommodation environment.

This is not a competition.

It's just to enjoy it!

"Hello, my name is Qiao Xin, I am from the Central Academy of Drama, I am from the class of 2010, who are you?"

Just when Zhao Liying was in a daze, a girl with a round face, at least 1.7 meters tall, and a bit like a big girl from Northeast China, came up to greet her enthusiastically.

Qiao Xin, the first place in the professional examination of the Central Academy of Drama in 2010.

As the first place in her major, after signing up for the audition, the "Actors Please Take Your Place" program team easily passed her on the 50-person list.

Each school's acting department has only one first place in the major every year. If she can't pass the audition, it would be a joke.

However, facing this "top student" from the Central Academy of Drama, Zhao Liying felt a little embarrassed and inferior. After a wry smile, she whispered: "Hello, my name is Zhao Liying, and I am a contracted actor of Hairun Films."

Qiao Xin immediately understood what she meant without mentioning her academic qualifications.

Although she still had a smile on her face, in her heart, Qiao Xin inevitably had a bit of contempt.

In the mainland actor circle, only actors who have graduated from professional schools have a future. The so-called class is not so easy to break, and the grassroots counterattack is just a myth.

"Oh, Hairun Films, I know, a very powerful company."

"Teacher Jiang Wenli and Teacher Liu Ye are both from Hairun, I really envy you for being in the same company with such excellent teachers."

Qiao Xin made a distressed expression and sighed, "Unlike me, I am still just a student, and no film and television company is willing to sign me."

Well, the words sounded nice, but in her heart, Qiao Xin no longer took Zhao Liying seriously.

After a few casual greetings with the seemingly introverted Zhao Liying, Qiao Xin raised her head and looked at the other female players who were also visiting the dormitory.

"Hello, my name is Qiao Xin. I am a 2010 graduate of the China National Theater Academy. I have met you. You are a theater actor, right? We seem to have taken the art exam together, right? Zhong Chuxi?"

Soon, Qiao Xin found another more suitable contact partner and approached him with a warm smile.

Zhao Liying also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she seems to be older than Qiao Xin, she is really not very good at socializing and her personality is not very enthusiastic and outgoing.

However, before she could take a few more breaths, the TV in the common rest area was suddenly turned on.

A small speaker installed in the living room also sounded.

"Please all contestants of "Actors Please Take Your Place" gather in the living room rest area."

"Next, announce the rules for the first round of competition!"

This announcement was heard from the 1st to 5th floors at the same time. All 50 players who had arrived quickly gathered in the public living rooms on the 2nd and 5th floors and looked at the large LCD TV.

On the TV screen, a card with a white bottom frame was slowly pulled out and opened, revealing several lines of large characters.

"The first round of competition, mentor preliminary competition!"

"The 50 players will be in groups of 2-3 and take turns performing skits. The four instructors will choose their favorite players to join the team!"

"After all four mentor teams are assembled, the first film and television assessment will officially begin!"

"In the first stage of the film and television assessment, among the 50 contestants, only 28 contestants will advance successfully!"

"Come on, future actors!"
