"Alright, let's invite the next group of actors!"
"Li Bing and Jin Jing!"
"They will bring us a segment from 'Dear'!"
The movie "Dear" is primarily about human traffickers kidnapping children.
Not many people know about this film, as it’s from an earlier era.
But this film can be considered quite classic.
Zhang Yuqi acted in a part, and of course, the female lead in it cannot be mentioned now.
The story background is as follows: six years ago, Han Dezhong and Fan Yun's only son was kidnapped by traffickers.
Years of fruitless searching pushed the family to the brink of collapse.
Both of them knew in their hearts that they would eventually have to make a choice between continuing the search and giving up.
Today, a new development has brought the moment of decision forward.
This next segment will also be performed by Jin Jing and Li Bing.
After the performance, they came to the front.
They once again had to face the director and undergo a new round of evaluation.
As soon as he came out, Li Cheng儒 started in on Jin Jing.
"Actress, you're playing the child's mother. Did you put on makeup?"
Li Cheng儒's words caused everyone on set to fall into a state of tension.
Sha Yi, as the host, proactively tried to ease the situation.
"She basically didn't wear any makeup."
"Did you draw your eyebrows?"
"I drew my eyebrows."
"Did you apply foundation?"
"A light touch of powder."
Facing Li Cheng儒's questioning, the two found themselves in a tense state.
"None of that should be there!"
"Your child is lost, why would you still apply a light touch of powder?"
"Do you even have the mood for that?"
"Actors must find their character's feeling through their costumes and makeup. That's my understanding anyway."
"In any case, actresses must not be afraid of looking ugly."
Hearing this, Jin Jing said self-deprecatingly, "I'm afraid of looking ugly?"
"Listen to me."
"Your last shot, I saw it very clearly."
"Your nose just started running, and you wiped it away."
As Li Cheng儒 said this, Jin Jing almost couldn't help but smile.
Because the topic did feel a bit humorous.
"In the plot, within the character, there's no need for that, understand?"
It has to be said that Li Cheng儒's points of contention are sometimes a bit too much; at times, they feel unnecessary.
Although some of what he says is very correct, some of it is completely unnecessary and even somewhat stubborn.
"Thank you, Teacher Li."
Everyone present applauded.
Then it was Chen Kai ge's turn.
"Director Kai ge, what are your thoughts on their performance?"
"I think they performed very well."
"Let's talk about Li Bing first."
"He first received a phone call, and there was a turning action."
"Here, we immediately understood that this was a man with something on his mind."
"Sitting down to eat, he looked at his wife. This glance is very important."
"If this glance wasn't shown on screen, I think it would have been a deficiency."
"And when he knelt before his wife and pleaded with her in an extremely desperate way, saying, 'We've spent six years searching for our lost child, I can't take it anymore.'"
"They say a man's knees are worth gold, but is kneeling that easy?"
"Let me talk about Jin Jing next."
"Jin Jing, you acted really well."
Upon hearing Chen Kai ge's words, Jin Jing's eyes turned red, and the audience applauded.
"The first time I saw you was during the group selection that day."
"I said this person is interesting. When this person cries, these eyes are still smiling."
"You have a pair of somewhat alluring phoenix eyes."
After he said this, there were scattered laughs from the audience, and Jin Jing on stage made a playful expression.
"But today, that's gone."
"Another woman with a greater burden sat opposite the man with a burden."
"She kept poking at the rice she hadn't eaten a bite of with a pair of chopsticks."
"Your lines were fewer than Li Bing's, but you responded to your husband's plea."
"The way you did it was by hitting him."
"At this moment, I understood that you agreed to stop looking for Da Bao."
"This is such a heart-wrenching moment."
"You two are like one dish, one breath. You carried it through to the end. You acted really well."
"Thank you!"
After Chen Kai ge finished speaking, the venue erupted in applause.
Guo Xiao si quickly looked at Chen Kai ge and said sincerely, "Thank you, Director."
After saying that, he suddenly started to sob quietly.
Although Guo Xiao si's words could be sharp, he was a very emotional person.
The people present applauded again, showing their encouragement.
"It's because I rarely receive praise, you know?"
The applause rang out again.
"Yesterday, I walked through it with them. Sometimes I didn't know if the adjustments I made for them were right. I was afraid of affecting them. Perhaps they were very good actors, and I might end up doing them a disservice."
"When I heard Director Kai ge praising them just now, for a moment, I felt like I was also being praised."
"Because I am someone who doesn't receive praise easily."
Everyone in the audience applauded once more.
"I truly think they are both very good. I see your courage. I think this is why you came to this stage. You want everyone to see more of your other sides, that you are not just someone who only makes jokes, or does crosstalk, or skits without emotion."
"I received a role that wasn't quite suitable for me, but I was willing to put in my best effort."
"And Teacher Li Bing is as good as ever."
"The first time Teacher Li Bing chose me, I was very surprised. Sometimes when I discussed the acting with him, I lacked confidence."
"I would ask him, 'Do you think this is okay?' But he always gave me very positive feedback. He would say, 'Director, this is very good.'"
"It's also because of this that I've become more and more confident in creating a work together with them."
"Li Bing won the Best Actor award when he was seventeen, right?"
"Let's not bring up things from so long ago."
