Chapter 550: Mentor Lineup Exposure
Inside the gymnasium.
He Xiao walked through the corridor and walked to the lounge in the backstage.
Because this is not a TV station, it is a program recording venue temporarily rented by the program team, so there are not many rooms and not too comprehensive. Generally, Zheng Xia's lounge is also an office, where a group of people are studying the scripts of variety shows or meeting guests.
I heard that the mentors invited by the program team arrived, He Xiao must go and see them. He has been in the program team for so long, but he really doesn't know who the mentor lineup is. He has done a very good job of keeping the secrets. Zheng Xia and Wang Shi did not disclose it at all before today.
He was quite curious about this because this show is a contest between actors, and there are many people like An Cheng who have won the best actors, so the mentor must choose the most respected and respected celebrities in the circle, otherwise the contestants will definitely not accept it, and the program lacks persuasion.
With anticipation in his heart, as soon as he walked to the door, he saw a figure standing at the door of Zheng Xia's lounge smoking. Seeing the silhouette look familiar, He Xiao took a closer look and recognized it.
"Brother Yi, why are you here?"
The middle-aged man in front of him was the male lead in the movie "The Battle" directed by Liu Haibo with He Xiao, and the Chinese Golden Horse actor Yi Guangyuan.
After not seeing each other for many days, Yi Guangyuan still has no change from before. He is as approachable as he did when he was filming together, and he can't tell the airs of any celebrity.
"Hey? He Xiao, you are here too?"
Yi Guangyuan looked surprised when he saw He Xiao, and then smiled friendly. He had a good attitude towards He Xiao. The character Shang Hong left a deep impression on him.
He Xiao seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but touch his nose, "Brother Yi, you can't be the mentor invited by the program team, right?"
"Yes, then... are you the guest Zheng Xia found?" Yi Guangyuan was stunned for a moment, and after staring at each other with big eyes and staring at each other for a while, he suddenly burst into laughter, "This world is really too small."
He Xiao was also happy, "It's not that the world is small, but that our circle is small, and these are the people who go around in circles."
"By the way, didn't you say there were three mentors? What about the other two?"
Yi Guangyuan said to the lounge, "I'm discussing things with Zheng Xia in the inner room, I can't help but come out to smoke a cigarette."
"You have one?"
As he said that, he pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him.
He Xiao shook his hand and refused: "If I quit, I will not be able to become a singer if I don't protect my voice."
"Oh, I forgot this." Yi Guangyuan then remembered that although He Xiao participated in "The Birth of an Actor", he was also a serious singer and hurriedly put away the cigarette solemnly.
Being a singer is not easy. Smoking can hurt your throat, so you will generally protect yourself. Unlike actors, there are no taboos in this regard. Some dramas require actors to smoke.
"Let's go, take you in and see the other two mentors."
After talking nonsense with He Xiao for a while, Yi Guangyuan slapped the cigarette butts in his hand, then waved his hand and slapped the smell of smoke around him, and pushed open the door of the lounge.
Zheng Xia's lounge is quite spacious. There are many people standing or sitting at this time. It seems that they are all staff members in the program team, including those in charge of the drama and producers in the station.
However, the most eye-catching thing is the two people sitting next to the coffee table, one man and one woman, both with a special temperament, which is obviously different from the people around her.
When He Xiao looked over, he suddenly realized that no wonder the people in Taiwan are so restless today. It turned out that Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV invited these two mentors, which made it understandable.
I believe that no one in the entire Chinese country doesn’t know these two people.
The man was a little older, his hair was much whiter, and he sat there in a simple dress, but no one looked at him without respect.
Because this person is the title of King of Kung Fu Films in China. He debuted in Xiangjiang at the age of 21. He has appeared in countless Kung Fu Films in his life. He was even more popular in Xiangjiang in the 1990s. After the millennium, his career reached its peak and entered Hollywood with an Asian face. He is one of the few actors in this world to be nominated for the Best Actor of the Oscar!
His name is Xiao Jitong!
No one didn't know him in the 1980s. The post-90s grew up watching his drama. The post-00s also watched his movies today when the Internet was developed. It can be said that in China, his popularity has reached a saturation point, and everyone knows it.
As for the woman next to her, she looks younger, but she is still over forty years old, but she is very well maintained. She has excellent temperament. She has attracted everyone's attention when she sits there. Her name is Qi Xiao.
She debuted three years earlier than Xiao Jitong and was born in a family of acting. Her first drama was a big drama by famous Chinese director Zhao Jun. The scene was very large. At the age of 18, she was very brave. Once she got rid of the movie, she won the Best Actress Award at the Golden Horse Awards and won the title of Best Actress Award.
Since then, he has a wide range of acting careers and won one honor after another. He once entered the international film industry. He married a Singaporean rich man at the age of 35 and retired for three years. He made his debut three years later. He won the Golden Horse Awards and the Best Actress of the Paris International Film Festival again.
Perhaps compared to Xiao Jitong, she has not achieved saturation of popularity, but she is definitely one of the top Chinese names.
Both of these two have a high status in the entertainment industry. It can be said that as mentors, no one will be dissatisfied.
Yi Guangyuan is also a movie star, but he is actually a little less experienced than these two, but he is more popular.
Yes, although these two are currently household names, they are the past and the times are changing. To put it bluntly, in terms of popularity, many traffic artists who come to participate in the show are currently higher than these two.
You should know that in the current world, the post-00s generation is the main force.
This is the reality, and it cannot be said that they are out of date, but the era that belongs to them has passed.
Otherwise, with their status as high as the most prestigious, it would not be possible to watch Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV variety shows.
You know, Xiao Jitong rarely participates in variety shows, and he even didn't participate when he was young. However, as he grows older, he has gradually become unable to fight, so he surrenders to reality.
After all, martial arts movies are no longer suitable for him, and his recent works have also begun to try to transform gradually. Most of them are acting in some literary dramas, and the outcome is naturally that market feedback is no longer as popular as before.
Last year, in order to make money, Xiao Jitong even took on the advertisement of web game full of copycat style. He wore inferior exaggerated armor, held a big knife in his hand, shouted slogans, and made money.
Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV invited him to participate, which is already a very good announcement for his current acting career.
He Xiao couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.
