October 25th.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, a prefecture-level city.

He Xiao and the small team arrived at the filming location of the program, a small local gymnasium.

"Director Zheng, He laughed!"

"You take him to the script study room first, I'll be there right away."

While reporting to Zheng Xia, the director of "The Birth of an Actor" on the intercom, the staff led He Xiao and others to walk deep into the stadium.

The venue has been almost completely renovated, and it can no longer be seen as it was. In front of the dense audience, there is a mentor's seat with three seats connected together, facing a square stage. Several staff members are shuttled on it to debug the equipment. The lighting engineer lowered his head, not knowing what he was recording.

He Xiao wore a mask and followed the staff's footsteps, hurriedly passing through the studio.

"Mr. He, you can rest here first, Director Zheng will come soon. Do you have anything to drink?" He Xiao led to the script study room, and the staff asked with a smile on his face.

"Put a cup of boiled water for me."

"OK."

He Xiao had nothing to choose. After saying it casually, the staff agreed and turned around and left.

This time, He Xiao was the only one left in the room. He looked around and found that there was a lot of space. In addition to a sofa in the middle, there was a camera not far away, with red lights flashing on it. It should be on.

He Xiao was not uncomfortable with this. He is an old fox in variety shows, so he naturally knew the rules of variety shows. Once he entered the shooting venue, he might be in a state of being filmed. Maybe any scene will be edited and played out after being played.

In fact, it is called a script study room, but it is actually an ordinary lounge with a brighter layout. There are luminous icons of a domestic mobile phone brand on the back wall, and the mineral water placed on the table is also a designated brand. These are all sponsors of the program.

It is no different from the variety shows He Xiao participated in before. The only difference is that the area of ​​the house is larger. In addition to the rest area, there is also a large rehearsal area.

Before He Xiao could wait too long, the staff brought He Xiao a cup of boiled water, and then the director of the show, Zheng Xia, also arrived at the scene with a man and a woman.

The man is in his forties, with a big belly and a sign of baldness on his head. He is He Xiao's old acquaintance, Wang Shi, a famous director of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV.

Standing next to Wang Shi was a woman in her fifties, very elegant and dressed in black, but He Xiao didn't know this person, probably not a public figure.

"He Xiao, long time no see!" Wang Shi laughed as soon as he entered the door and greeted He Xiao very familiarly. He Xiao debuted with "The Voice of Dreams", and there was a great help from Wang Shi, who is the director. Strictly speaking, he was one of He Xiao's benefactors.

He Xiao also returned the gift with a smile on his face, holding Wang Shi's hands and said, "Director Wang! I'm very happy to see you again!"

"Haha, come on, let me introduce you to you. This is Director Zheng Xia and the director in charge of "The Birth of an Actor". I believe Yu Xiao should have mentioned it to you." After Wang Shi shook hands with He Xiao, he pointed to a man next to him who was about the same age as him but had a very strong figure.

"Hello, Director Zheng."

"Hello, He Xiao."

The two of them greeted him politely.

Although Zheng Xia’s name looks like a woman, she is not a sissy at all. She has a tough temperament, which is in sharp contrast to the typical middle-aged Wang Shi of beer. At this time, he gave up a position and asked the woman to come forward and said, “Let me introduce it, this is Ms. Han Xiulan, the performance teacher of the Central Academy of Drama, and is also the performance director of our program.”

"Hello."

He Xiao hurriedly shook hands with the woman in her fifties. The other party was a teacher and an old artist in the Central Academy of Drama. He Xiao still respected this very much.

"I have been following you for a long time He Xiao. On the show, I will help you grow your acting skills as fast as possible." Han Xiulan smiled kindly, stretched out her hands that were not as well-maintained as those in her fifties and shook He Xiao.

"Thank you, teacher." He Xiao replied.

After some politeness, he knew almost the same as the people in the program team. Zheng Xia told He Xiao about the rules of the program "The Birth of an Actor".

The original intention of "The Birth of an Actor" was to prove the profession of the actor, telling the public what is going on, what is called good acting, and how to be good acting.

Taking acting as the perspective, we build a real platform for powerful dream-chasing actors to learn about acting skills.

The acting tutor is both a mentor and a challenger.

There are a total of six contestants in each episode, in groups of two or two acting, and PK on the same stage, and the actor with the highest recognition from the audience and mentors can advance and be qualified to choose to challenge a mentor.

Generally speaking, the competition system of "The Birth of an Actor" is similar to "The Voice of Dreams".

The "Birth of an Actor" in the black mobile phone world is very different. For example, in the black mobile phone world, whether the participating actors can advance successfully has a lot to do with the choice of the mentors. The number of audience votes does not play a decisive role at some times.

The choice of each instructor represents fifty votes, which is directly comparable to half of the audience. Even if the other party is more than 100 votes behind, as long as the instructor wants to promote him, two votes can be made to reverse and advance. This system is unfair to some extent, and the instructor has too much power.

Although the instructor is professional, the act is ultimately for the audience to watch. The audience knows which actor performs well. Sometimes there is no need for the instructor to stand up and reverse the situation. This seems like the promotional guest has been decided long ago.

Zheng Xia's version of "The Birth of an Actor" has abolished this rule and weakened the rights of mentors. Each mentor's recognition can only be equivalent to twenty audience votes, which is no longer as exaggerated as in the black mobile phone world. This change He Xiao recognized it in his heart, making the program more people-friendly and more fair and just.

Another thing worth mentioning is that when Zheng Xia weakens the rights of mentors, she also increases the accusation of mentors as "mentors".

What is a mentor?

It’s not like sitting on it and drinking tea, and just commenting a few words, and then calling it a mentor.

The mentor is responsible for leading the players under his command, giving guidance, making progress in this field, and gaining a deeper understanding of the significance of this industry.

This is the "mentor".

Many variety shows actually forget the meaning of the existence of mentors, including "The Birth of an Actor" in the black mobile phone world, which also made this mistake. The three successful and famous celebrities in the entertainment industry sat on the platform as mentors, but what did they all do?

Criticize students, pretending to vote for approval or disapproval, without any guidance. Even during the PK stage of the mentor battle, they only practice their own practices, thinking about how to win, and they have no intention of supporting their juniors at all.

On the contrary, as invited performance teachers, they worked hard to help the actors participating in the program during the rehearsal stage, how to quickly integrate into the role, perform the script well, and constantly get out the goods. Compared with the "mentors" who only sit on the platform and talk, they seem to be more like mentors.

Zheng Xia has his own insights on variety shows. His idea is to completely subvert the setting that the mentor is more like a mascot that keeps the scene. It requires that when the mentor fights, every mentor will devote himself to helping students how to act and how to surpass themselves.

This is more in line with the theme of the program "The Birth of an Actor".

I have to say that after listening to Zheng Xia’s program planning, He Xiao raised a deep respect for him. This is a unique director.

Just by his idea, He Xiao knew that the filming of the show "The Birth of an Actor" was definitely not bad. Like Wang Shi, he is a director with his own ideas. This kind of variety show format is destined to have no insider.
