Chapter 313: Meet an Acquaintance Again, Personnel Classification (Ask for Monthly Votes)
The person who came to pick up Lin Xing was the deputy director of "Reinventing the Actor", and also an acquaintance of Lin Xing.
Qiu Ke.
The B-level director when Lin Xing was filming "Only Waiting for You".
Later, Lin Xing met Qiu Ke when they were filming a short film for Emperor Film.
It has been a long time since then.
"Teacher Lin, congratulations on winning the Magnolia Best Actor..."
Qiu Ke looked at Lin Xing with a little admiration and said, "I knew you would definitely be able to make a name for yourself."
This is true.
Qiu Ke really thought that Lin Xing would be able to make a name for himself, but he didn't expect that Lin Xing would be able to make a name for himself like a rocket.
Who would believe it if he told others? ?
Two years ago, Lin Xing was a standout in "Only Waiting for You", and at the same time, no one looked at him seriously.
But in two years, Lin Xing won the Magnolia Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor.
This is already a legend.
Qiu Ke even felt that he was quite honored, because he had a good relationship with Lin Xing and had even worked with him twice.
One was "Just Waiting for You" filmed before Lin Xing took off, and the other was the short film of Diying filmed when Lin Xing took off.
Later, Qiu Ke never saw Lin Xing again. He just heard one legend after another about Lin Xing.
"Brother Qiu, I told you to just call me Ah Xing."
Lin Xing was indeed a little surprised when he saw Qiu Ke.
It's true that people meet everywhere in life, and it's true that you may meet in the entertainment circle at any time.
You should know that Lin Xing has always believed in repaying kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred. His good friend Yu Xiaoshu once said to him.
If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If people offend me, I will repay them with a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye.
Lin Xing also thinks this is the truth.
It's not good to be a saint, but if others treat you well, then you will always be right to repay them ten times.
When filming "Just Waiting for You", whether it was director Kong Yi or other people in the crew, they basically ignored Lin Xing.
On the contrary, Qiu Ke was very polite to Lin Xing, and often gave Lin Xing some pointers during filming.
Even when Lin Xing finished filming, it was Qiu Ke who took the initiative to hug Lin Xing, saying that they would have a chance to work together again in the future.
At that time, Qiu Ke believed that Lin Xing could make a name for himself.
But to be honest, at that time, I'm afraid Lin Xing himself didn't even think that he could win the Magnolia Best Actor Award today.
Facing Lin Xing's enthusiasm, Qiu Ke was also relieved.
You know, many people in the entertainment industry are one way before they are successful, and another way after they are successful.
Qiu Ke has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and has seen actors of all sizes on the set, and has also seen some actors build high buildings, entertain guests, and then the buildings collapse.
These people are, without exception, two different ways before and after they become famous.
Put yourself in his shoes, if Qiu Ke himself were Lin Xing, he might also become arrogant.
So, when they first met, Qiu Ke naturally had to be a little more polite, so as not to make Lin Xing unhappy.
This time, Lin Xing is not the biggest star or the most experienced in the variety show "Reshape the Actor", but he has the most traffic.
Why did Liu Wu ask Qiu Ke to pick up Lin Xing? ?
It was because during the meeting, Qiu Ke said that he had worked with Lin Xing before, and had worked with him twice, and the two of them had a friend list.
Upon hearing this, Liu Wu looked up to Qiu Ke, and today he asked Qiu Ke to pick up Lin Xing.
On the way here, Liu Wu made three requests to Qiu Ke.
First, to satisfy Lin Xing.
Second, to satisfy Lin Xing.
Third, to satisfy Lin Xing.
In addition to Qiu Ke, Xiao Ning from the Art Department also picked up Lin Xing this time.
Originally, Xiao Ning didn't believe that Lin Xing would remember a small assistant director.
You know, as a member of the Art Department, she is basically responsible for everything for the artist.
Communicate with the artist for filming, negotiate the artist's contract, and be responsible for the artist's food, clothing, housing and transportation during the recording of the program. Sometimes she even knocks on the door to urge people.
Xiao Ning even joined Sanda boxing, because in many cases, the person responsible for protecting the artists in a crowded crowd is also the art director.
Let's put it this way, the art director department is the top priority in the variety show.
As for Xiao Ning, she is the person Liu Wu trusts the most. Liu Wu sent her here to let her serve Lin Xing well.
In the variety shows recorded by Liu Wu over the years, Xiao Ning is basically responsible for big-name artists.
So Xiao Ning has seen all kinds of big-name artists. These artists are quite good in front of the camera, with good personalities, good tempers, high emotional intelligence, and very considerate.
But it's different behind the camera.
It was clearly recorded at 8 o'clock in the morning, but everyone was asked to wait until 11 o'clock.
There were also some who were about to start the pre-interview, but they said they wanted to eat the local oil-splashed noodles and had to buy them immediately.
Not to mention that they said they would not drink water that cost less than 200 yuan, and they had to eat roast duck.
Even more excessive was that they felt that the sheets and quilts in the hotel were not new, so they didn't use the ones used by others, and they had to change them all.
As for the recording period, it goes without saying that once Xiao Ning accompanied a female artist back to the hotel, but was driven back by the female artist halfway because she remembered that she had left half a bag of potato chips at the recording site.
Such things are considered bizarre and incomprehensible by the outside world, but they are all too normal.
So Xiao Ning never believes the artists reported, let alone the artists in front of the camera.
Even the face is fake, how dare you believe that the rest is real? ?
What Xiao Ning didn't expect was that Lin Xing in front of him actually remembered Qiu Ke, an assistant director.
Not only that, Lin Xing also asked Qiu Ke: "Have you had any contact with Fan Fei recently??"
Qiu Ke hurriedly said: "Feifei is also in this variety show, she will not go to pick up other artists."
"I see."
Lin Xing smiled and said, "Time flies so fast. The last time we saw each other was probably a year ago."
"yes."
Qiu Ke nodded lightly: "Axing, this is Xiao Ning from the Department of Art and Education..."
After a brief exchange of greetings, Qiu Ke quickly introduced Xiao Ning.
"Hello, Teacher Lin, I will be responsible for coordinating your recording..."
Xiao Ning hurriedly said: "If you have anything, you can tell me at any time."
"Okay, I'll trouble you next."
Lin Xing said with a smile.
Xiao Nan on the side had already added Xiao Ning's WeChat account.
An hour later, the group arrived at the hotel next to the recording of "Reinventing Actors".
"Teacher Lin, please take a rest first. Director Liu originally wanted to pick you up in person, but he needs to make temporary adjustments to the recording situation, so he will come to see you in the evening..."
Xiao Ning waited until Lin Xing had settled down and then handed Lin Xing the script for the first recording: "This is the script for our first recording. We sent an outline to your studio before, but we temporarily After some adjustments, the actors also have certain differences..."
"Okay, let me take a look."
Lin Xing said with a smile, then he looked at Qiu Kedao: "Brother Qiu, if you are free tonight, let's have a meal together..."
"OK, no problem."
Qiu Ke hurriedly said: "We will go back to Taili first. Ah Xing, you take a rest first."
After leaving the hotel, Xiao Ning said with some surprise: "Qiu Ke, I didn't realize that you and Lin Xing have such a good relationship. Then if I don't do something right and make Lin Xing angry, you must do it." Help me adjust it."
"Why don't I have a good relationship with Lin Xing? Lin Xing still remembers me as a young assistant director."
Qiu Ke shook his head and smiled: "And Xiao Ning, you really don't have to worry about Lin Xing. Lin Xing has the best temper I have ever seen..."
Return to the recording location of "Reinventing the Actor".
Because the recording will start in the next two days, Liu Wu is indeed quite busy.
As I said before, "Reshaping the Actor" is quite big this time, because Liu Wu wants to make this variety show a phenomenal variety show.
Or at least make it a flagship variety show of Panda Video and Zhejiang Satellite TV.
The previous "Acting School" produced by Zhejiang Satellite TV was a failure because the popularity was all due to criticism. Apart from this, nothing else worked.
Liu Wu summed it up. He felt that the failure of "Acting School" was that this variety show was too scripted.
The focus is on hype, and every issue must contribute some hot searches for netizens to criticize.
Scold the instructor, scold the students, and even scold the director.
In short, I don’t want to do a good variety show at all.
Because of this, this time "Reinventing the Actor" is prepared not to do this.
Reality shows need real people to be able to show the audience easily, but if there are too many traces of scripts, then it will be different.
What’s more important is that since the core is ‘acting’, this core must be shown to the audience.
Gimmicks are of course essential.
But the gimmicks do not need to be actively created by the program team. The actors themselves will even create some.
Again, most actors are not talented enough. This time, the actors invited to "Reinventing Actors" are not famous actors.
There are three categories in total.
The first category is those who were once popular but quickly faded away, to the point where domestic entertainment is almost no longer able to find this person.
The second category currently belongs to the situation of supporting roles. They were not popular before and are not popular now. They can live a life of food and clothing, but it is far from enough for other things.
The third category belongs to other crossovers, but there is nothing mixed in other tracks.
In short, among the students who came this time there were resource guys, background guys, and second-generation stars, but there were definitely no big shot guys.
Like in the past, if you invite a few capable people who have won awards and are not yet old enough to act, who do you think they can convince? ? ?
At the same time, Liu Wu thought that the mentor must be strong and able to hold his own, so the mentors Liu Wu invited this time were also from the senior faction.
This senior group is also divided into three categories.
One category belongs to directors. Who would be dissatisfied with having a great director himself as a mentor? ?
One type is the old-school artists who have won Best Actor and Best Actress awards. These artists have little chance to play leading roles now, but they are quite popular among the public and have quite high qualifications in the industry.
The first type belongs to people like Kong Wen and Situ Hui, who are actors themselves and also run training classes, and have a certain reputation and status in the industry.
Who do you think would be dissatisfied with these three types of mentors? ?
As for Lin Xing, it’s just an added bonus.
Originally, everyone thought it was a bit inappropriate to invite Lin Xing to be a mentor? ?
Because Lin Xing is too young.
I became a mentor at the age of 32.
How can this convince the public? ? ?
As a result, with the announcement of the best actor in Magnolia yesterday, there is no need to discuss it anymore.
Just asking, is there anyone else who is dissatisfied? ? ?
Is Shidi not qualified to be a mentor? ? ?
"Tonight we invite all the instructors to have a dinner together so that everyone can get familiar with it first..."
Liu Wu said to the person in charge of the Art and Education Department: "You come and coordinate."
While talking, Liu Wu glanced at the time and said, "Lin Xing should have arrived at the hotel by this time, wait..."
Just as he was talking, Liu Wu read the news and laughed: "Lin Xing has indeed arrived at the hotel, okay, then there will be no problem with the dinner party tonight. Everyone will coordinate with each other, and we will officially record the opening tomorrow... "
Fifteen minutes later, the meeting was still open, and Xiao Ning and Qiu Ke also came to the conference room.
"Okay, let's do this first."
Liu Wu clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, let's get ready."
After everyone left, Liu Wu looked at Xiao Ning and Qiu Ke and asked, "How was it???"
"all the best."
Xiao Ning said first: "And Brother Qiu is indeed familiar with Lin Xing. Lin Xing also said that he wanted to ask Brother Qiu for dinner tonight."
"oh???"
Liu Wu laughed when he heard this: "That's just right, Lao Qiu, you go and contact Lin Xing. Let's have a dinner party tonight. I'll work hard for you and go and talk to Lin Xing."
"Okay, I'll go now."
Qiu Ke nodded lightly, and then left the office to contact Lin Xing.
"Lin Xing didn't say anything else, right??"
Liu Wu then looked at Xiao Ning and asked.
Xiao Ning shook his head and said: "No, I think Lin Xing is quite easy-going. He has no airs at all. He doesn't look like a red and purple fried chicken at all."
"It seems that what Lao Dong said is right."
Liu Wu felt relieved: "It's best this way, but we can't be careless. We've met a lot of actors. Some of them say they're good at it, but there are others who are uncooperative in various ways when recording begins."
Xiao Ning nodded lightly: "Yes, we won't know what happened until the recording starts."
While they were talking, Qiu Ke knocked on the door and came in again. He said, "I have already agreed with Lin Xing about the dinner party."
"Okay, Lao Qiu, you will go too tonight."
Liu Wudao: "Lin Xing has asked you to have dinner with me, please keep Lin Xing company at night..."
…
hotel.
Lin Xing began to watch the mentors and actors of "Reinventing Actors" this time.
It is true that Xiao Ning is right, there are some slight changes compared to the first version.
This is normal.
Before the recording of a variety show like this begins, both the instructor and the students will experience fluctuations.
You must know that some actors are very tired of recording variety shows, especially those who don't like to be exposed, or those who still want to cherish their own feathers.
If Dong Deng hadn't spoken this time, and if Lin Xing wanted to move on from "Killing Ading", he might not have come.
"There are quite a few acquaintances."
Lin Xing looked at the list with some surprise.
