Chapter 127: Just a Job, Just a Clown
What is treatment?
When recording a variety show, you will always be picked up by the host, and the focus of everyone's discussion will always be on you. This is the treatment.
Like today's recording of "Tonight's Drama".
At the beginning, Minnie pulled Zhao Yining out alone to introduce herself, and then introduced herself to the five leading actors of "The Correct Way to Open Independence" in turn.
Immediately afterwards, Shang Wei asked the two leading actors of "A Good Man to Die" to briefly introduce them, and then when it was the turn of the "Portrait of a Murderer" crew, he briefly introduced them.
In short, "The Correct Way to Open Independence" is the most beautiful song tonight.
Lin Xing, Zhou Wei, and Ning Rong were all relatively calm.
This was to be expected.
In today's program, "The Correct Way to Be Independent" is the protagonist. Whether it's "Portrait of a Murderer" or "It's Hard to Be a Good Man", the five people in these two crews are just supporting roles.
In the process of group formation, it was initially a PK session with the crew.
Basically Cao Zhiming, Yao Xue, and Zhou Yundong are with the crew of "The Right Way to Open Independence".
Then the crew of "Portrait of a Murderer" joined Fang Juan and Zeng Yuanfu.
Finally, the remaining three people from the crew of "A Good Man Is Hard to Kill" joined the cast.
The first half hour of recording really focused on the crew of "The Right Way to Open Independence", because whether it was the setting or the so-called script, Zhao Yining and Xu Tong basically took the spotlight.
There are no single shots of Lin Xing, Zhou Wei, and Ning Rong.
A complete foil.
But again, Lin Xing, Zhou Rong, and Ning Rong analyzed it last night. They were just accompanying the princess to study, so it was impossible to give a single shot.
At this time, friendship is of no use.
Although Minnie was so generous yesterday afternoon, she even introduced a group of people behind the scenes to Lin Xing, and even asked the director to give Lin Xing some scenes, and the director even agreed.
But that's just an adult's courtesy, so don't take it seriously.
No, in the interactive session of more than half an hour, everyone was basically a supporting role.
After 50 minutes, it’s a break.
The audience can take advantage of this moment to let off steam.
As for the guests at the scene, they can also relax, eat something, or touch up their makeup.
Rest for 20 minutes before officially recording.
By this time, Zhao Yining and Xu Tong had already returned to the lounge, and an assistant was waiting for them to leave.
As for Shang Wei, Cao Zhiming, Zhou Yundong and others, they all returned to their lounges.
Lin Xing, Zhou Wei, and Ning Rong were sitting aside chatting.
"Hello, Teacher Lin."
What Lin Xing didn't expect was that Han Long took the initiative to say hello to Lin Xing.
"Hello, Teacher Han."
Lin Xing said hurriedly.
Compared to Han Long, Lin Xing is considered a junior.
Fifteen years ago, Han Long's career was still at its peak, and he was even the absolute number one male.
Now 40 years old, Han Long's career is not as good as before, and now his acting style is relatively simple, basically playing the role of a domineering president.
And domineering CEOs are often the same.
But Han Long still has acting skills, and the domineering president he plays is not greasy at all.
"I heard Ren Yi praise you all the time. Let's sit down together sometime..."
Han Long was obviously quite polite to Lin Xing.
"That's because Brother Yi loves me."
Lin Xing said slightly modestly.
"What's your WeChat ID? Let's add a WeChat ID..."
Han Long said as he took the phone from his assistant.
"good."
Lin Xing also took the phone from Xiao Nan and quickly added Han Long.
Han Long smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk later."
After Han Long added Lin Xing to WeChat, he left. Lin Yu and Wei Hai in the distance were a little stunned.
“Brother Long, is it necessary for you to take the initiative to add Lin Xing’s WeChat account??”
Lin Yu had a better relationship with Han Long, so he whispered.
Han Long said: "I think Lin Xing's role in "Anti-Gangster" is quite good. He does have acting skills, and Ren Yi easily doesn't praise others. Since he praises others, then Lin Xing must have The best thing about the entertainment industry is that it’s always good to have many friends.”
Lin Yu was noncommittal.
What kind of friends do you want to make in the entertainment industry? ?
Just like Han Long helped many people when he was at the height of his power, but is there anyone willing to help Han Long now? ?
"Don't you still think that Lin Xing will be popular in the future? I'm not telling you, Brother Long, some of the people you helped were popular, but not many of them were willing to help you."
Lin Yu thought for a while and said something to Han Long.
Han Long chuckled softly: "When I helped others, I never expected others to help me. It was just because my seniors helped me when I was not famous. My seniors told me that when you become capable, you should remember to help your juniors, so Let me tell you, senior is not helping me so that I can help him in the future..."
If he really wanted to be rewarded for helping others in the future, then Han Long would have been depressed.
He helps people simply because he now has the ability to support his younger generation.
That's all.
As for Lin Xing’s WeChat, it’s just because he admires Lin Xing.
Looking forward to Lin Xinghuo helping him in the future?
Are you kidding me?
I, Han Long, am not that worldly yet.
"Axing, how are you?"
Minnie did not go to her own lounge. She came to Lin Xing and asked with a smile: "Which do you find more tiring, recording this variety show or the reality show?"
"Neither is tiring."
Lin Xing said with a smile: "It's all work, how can you say it's tiring?"
"I knew you would say that."
Minnie laughed: "The next part is all game parts. If you don't want to do it, just tell me. We won't deliberately tease the guests."
In this regard, "Tonight's Drama" is much better than many variety shows.
You see some other variety shows, their powerful ones don't even act at all.
If you are popular, you will be praised and enjoy all kinds of super high treatment.
But if you are a nobody, you will do all kinds of things that are easy to make a fool of yourself.
Don't think that "Tonight's Drama" also treats guests differently, but compared with its peers, it is really pretty good.
After all, this is an industry that compares the worst.
As long as you are not bad, you are excellent.
"Thank you, Sister Mi, I'm fine."
Lin Xing said with a smile.
Minnie glanced at Lin Xing and said, "Okay, that's good."
For some reason, Minnie actually found Zhou Wei and Ning Rong on the side a little strange, and the two seemed a little excited.
"I must have seen it wrong."
Minnie thought for a while and said.
Then the break time came, and then continued recording.
First, it was the water splashing session.
As expected, Zhao Yining and Xu Tong did not need to participate. Of course, the program would definitely not say anything because they were given special treatment. On the contrary, they were asked to COS princess clothes.
Zhou Wei had some complaints in his heart.
This really turned into reading with the princess.
As for the re-teaming session, the program did not have 8 vs. 8, but instead it was a PK battle between the crew.
That's right.
It was a PK battle between the crew.
"The Right Way to Open Independence" was a team of Han Long and Lin Yu, and the remaining Wei Hai formed a team with Yao Xue.
Cao Zhiming and Zhou Yundong did not participate.
Then Zhou Wei and Ning Rong from the crew of "The Portrait of the Murderer" formed a team, while Lin Xing was in the same team with Fang Juan, and Zeng Yuanfu did not participate.
As for "It's Hard to Be a Good Person", there were also 4 people, and the rest did not participate.
Then the water splashing competition officially began.
Everyone drew lots to decide who would go first.
As a result, Zhou Wei and Ning Rong went first, and they competed against Han Long and Lin Yu from "The Right Way to Be Independent".
Then, Zhou Wei and Ning Rong were defeated miserably.
Zhou Wei pointed at the same direction as Han Long every time.
Ning Rong was half a beat slower every time to block water for Zhou Wei.
Then Zhou Wei was splashed three times and was directly knocked out.
Then Wei Ying and Hu He from the crew of "It's Hard to Be a Good Person" were also knocked out.
They were knocked out by Lin Xing and Fang Juan.
Even though Fang Juan lost every time, Lin Xing helped Fang Juan block the water.
"This is too fast."
"No, how did Lin Xing predict it?"
"Yes, the key is that Lin Xing splashed water steadily, accurately and fiercely."
...
The audience at the scene also became interested in watching the water splashing on the stage.
The atmosphere was very lively.
From this aspect, we can also see why "Tonight's Drama" has always maintained this variety show.
This water splashing segment is the highlight.
In the end, Lin Xing and Fang Juan had the last laugh.
The two of them also knocked out the crew of "The Right Way to Open Independence".
Fang Juan was already shouting excitedly.
Although she has been recording "Tonight's Drama" for more than half a year, she has always lost in every water splashing segment, and her partner can never stop the water from blocking her.
You said there is a script in it, there is some.
But most of the losers are really incompetent.
Some audiences even said: "Fang Juan, can you not act so fake? Why do you always lose?"
In response, Fang Juan almost cried.
I am not acting fake, I am really bad.
It's okay now.
I proved myself.
At least the water splashing segment was quite funny.
The crew of "The Murderer in the Portrait" had a strong presence in this segment, which was considered a win.
Then it was guessing the names of the stars.
Lin Xing asked Ning Rong to make expressions, and he guessed.
In the end, Lin Xing guessed all the stars correctly.
"Axing, I suspect you are cheating."
Minnie smiled and said at this time: "Many people have guessed correctly in the guessing name segment of our variety show, but it is really too difficult to guess all of them correctly, and with so many expressions."
Lin Xing said in his heart that I did cheat, because he did calculate some of these expressions before, and he also told Ning Rong some rules of the game.
But this can only be regarded as a reasonable use of the rules.
Originally, everyone thought that Lin Xing was too strong, whether it was water splashing or guessing stars, he was ridiculously strong.
As a result, in the "You gesture and I guess" segment, Lin Xing, Zhou Wei, and Ning Rong completely interpreted what it means to be irrelevant.
Just as Lin Xing said, he just asked Zhou Wei to play this game seriously, and it would be funny enough.
Lin Xing didn't believe that Zhao Yining and Xu Tong could play such a game.
"This Zhou Wei was quite smart before, why is he so stupid now?"
"Hahaha, how could he hear all the lyrics wrong, but still tell Lin Xing seriously that there is no problem at all."
"Indeed, Zhou Wei's self-confidence is really funny. He is really a 250-year-old."
…
After these games were over, everyone ended the recording at noon.
You should know that a general variety show may be recorded in one day, but it may also be recorded in two days. Especially for a show like "Tonight's Drama", many game sessions are quite physically demanding.
During lunch, Shang Wei said to Cao Zhiming: "Old Cao, what do you think?"
Cao Zhiming was stunned: "What do you think?"
"I'm asking what do you think of Lin Xing's performance??"
Shang Wei said: "I didn't take it seriously when Minnie said that Lin Xing was quite different, but now it seems that Lin Xing does have some ability."
"There's no point in trying to make a variety show fun. It's nothing more than a clown."
Cao Zhiming said nonchalantly: "Just like Lu Hui, he can only become a variety show star without much future."
"Indeed it is."
Shang Wei nodded slightly.
At the same time, Zhou Wei and Ning Rong were more excited.
"Axing, you really got everything right."
Zhou Wei said excitedly: "We did get the most applause when we played the game."
Ning Rong said: "Yes, I believe that this issue of our "Portrait of Murderer" should have a strong presence."
"It's better not to get your hopes too high."
Lin Xing looked at Zhou Wei and Ning Rong and said with a smile: "It is impossible for these three game show groups to all focus on us in the editing, otherwise it would be taking over the show."
After listening to Lin Xing's words, Zhou Wei gradually calmed down: "That's true."
Ning Rong was quite open-minded at this time: "It's impossible to delete all of us anyway, this is enough."
"Yes, that's enough."
Lin Xing nodded lightly: "Just leaving a gap for us is enough."
The afternoon recording started at 2 o'clock.
This time, Lin Xing once again made everyone unable to react.
The first is the tug-of-war competition. Lin Xing directly challenged the strongman, because this competition is usually reserved for male artists, and it is also the easiest to promote.
Everyone draws 4 sticks together. Neither side can see the other side to see who can pull out the sticks.
Originally, everyone thought it was impossible for Lin Xing to win against amateur contestants.
But no one thought that Lin Xing not only relied on strength, but also relied on skills to win.
There was thunderous applause.
In the game that followed, Lin Xing was like a desperate Saburo. Whether it was the long jump kickboard or the slide climb, Lin Xing worked very hard.
The effect of this kind of program is naturally magnified.
"He really does everything for the sake of fire."
After the recording of the program ended, Zhao Yining's manager complained a little bit and said: "It's true that artists like this who have passed their time are afraid."
"Just a clown."
Zhao Yining said with a hint of ridicule: "While selling the so-called sincere and rational character, at the same time he is trying his best to climb up the ladder. What kind of drama is he starring in??"
The agent said: "It seems to be "Portrait of a Murderer"."
"Yes, it's just this one, it's just a web drama. I heard that Han Long also took the initiative to add Lin Xing's WeChat account."
When Zhao Yining said this, he sneered: "No wonder Han Long is becoming more and more outdated. He really has a very bad vision."
…
"Axing, why bother??"
Minnie said helplessly towards Lin Xing: "We can't promote your movie "Portrait of a Murderer" too much. You work so hard but the effect may not be very good. It's just to save more scenes. Is it worth it???"
"It's just work."
Lin Xing said with a smile: "Sister Mi, you are overthinking. I work hard because this is my job. Since "Portrait of a Murderer" is on your show to promote it, then I must put this Work well done, that’s all.”
"That's all??"
Minnie was stunned.
"Yes, that's all."
Lin Xingdao: "You have to do your job well. There are not many promotion resources for "Portrait of a Murderer" this time. Now that we can be on your variety show, even if we are just foils, we have to do our job well. "
Minnie suddenly realized: "I understand."
Just work.
Lin Xing has indeed always regarded this matter as his job. Whether he was recording "One Day Trip with Mi" or "Let's Go Now", he has always treated it with great dedication.
Because this is a job.
For a moment, Minnie's thoughts were similar to those of Shang Wei and others. It was just a variety show. What are you trying to do? ?
Even Lin Xing, if you really want to be popular, you can definitely accept another variety show.
But now when she heard Lin Xing say "it's just work" so calmly and nothing more, Minnie suddenly laughed.
Just a clown.
This is what Shang Wei and the others just said in private.
But who is the Joker? ? ?
"Axing, I may not be able to help you much else, but I will help you promote "Portrait of a Murderer" when it starts airing."
Minnie thought for a moment and said.
"Thank you, Sister Mi."
Lin Xing expressed gratitude from the bottom of his heart.
It's understandable that Minnie didn't do anything to Lin Xing for some things, but for some things Minnie helped him, then Lin Xing must be grateful.
"You're welcome, I didn't help you much to begin with."
Minnie shook her head slightly and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat authentic snacks from our Tan Province."
In the evening, Lin Xing and Minnie had a meal together, and there was a third person at the dinner table, Yao Xue.
When recording the program, Lin Xing could feel that the relationship between the 10 people in "Tonight's Drama" was relatively subtle.
"Teacher Lin, your performance today is really explosive."
Yao Xue looked at Lin Xing with a hint of admiration and said, "Now I can understand why Sister Mi keeps praising you."
"That's because Sister Mi promoted me."
Lin Xing said hurriedly: "I just did some of my job."
"It's exactly what Sister Mi said, Teacher Lin, have you always been so humble?"
Yao Xue said jokingly.
"no."
Lin Xingdao: "For example, "Portrait of a Murderer" will be broadcast on March 30. I think this drama is quite good, and I think my performance in this drama is also quite good, so I hope Teacher Yao can help Let’s promote it.”
Yao Xue: "???"
