Chapter 186 The Company Signed a Vase with No Acting Skills?

The time soon came to the eighth day of the first lunar month.

At 8:30 in the morning, Chen Xiao drove towards the company.

During the Spring Festival holiday, he compiled the bilingual script and ideal scenes. I haven’t drawn the storyboard script yet, so don’t rush and take your time.

As for partners, when I participated in the Venice Film Festival before, I exchanged business cards with many middle and senior executives of international companies.

After the live interview revealed that he wanted to shoot an artistic film, many companies sent him cooperation invitations.

He looked through it and found more than 40 companies in total, including companies from Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea, as well as companies from North America and other places.

His first choice was actually Chazelle, the talented Russian-American director and head of the Venice Film Festival jury.

Chazelle is in a similar situation. He holds a majority share in an entertainment company and is a half-hands-off boss, but he has enough say.

From the last contact and background investigation, we can know that Chazelle was born in country M, but stayed in country E for many years. He does not have a strong national stance. As he said, art comes first.

If you get along with this kind of person, there will be less conflicts in your stance.

But the question is...why didn't Chazelle send him an email?

Forget it, let’s talk about this later.

I have something to do at the company in the morning.

The company started training actors years ago. Today he plans to personally take action and give everyone a two-hour acting class to see where the actor's problems lie.

While sorting out today's plan in my mind, I drove the car to the company parking lot.

Taking the elevator to the second floor, Chen Xiao stood in the corridor, took out his mobile phone, and prepared to check the chat history to see if the training room was in the 20s.

As soon as I took it out, I heard the conversation between two girls from the tea room separated by the wall.

"Did you see the hot search? Liming Yue is actually in our company."

"Huh? Really or not? I thought we only wanted actors and actresses."

"I see she is on the list of "Actors Please Come On Stage" tonight, and the company she belongs to is our company."

"Ah? Isn't she just a vase? How did she get in?"

"Indeed, so now netizens are also ready to eat melon..."

Chen Xiao found the chat interface and saw that it was 203, so he stopped listening and walked towards the training room.

He had only heard of the name Liming Yue, but he couldn't even remember his face. He seemed to be a second-tier star.

After walking a few steps, I met the head of the artist management department.

"Director Chen, you are here."

A sole proprietorship does not have the position of chairman. Chen Xiao is the legal representative. To show respect, everyone in the company generally calls him either "Director Chen" or "Director Chen."

Chen Xiao greeted him and continued to ask: "Mr. Zhou, what's going on with Liming Yue? I heard that her acting skills are not very good."

Minister Zhou nodded and explained:

"Yes, she is indeed in our company, and her acting skills are indeed relatively low-key. But her appearance is outstanding, and she usually plays a supporting role."

"When we sign someone, according to your request, we first consider her character. There is nothing wrong with her character."

"In terms of personality, her family has a little money, but her parents divorced early, so no one cares about her. She was bullied when she was in school, and she is a little introverted. Introversion is definitely not a problem."

"I signed the contract because, to put it bluntly, the entertainment industry also needs vases. Having a solid vase character can also bring benefits to the company."

"Then she will participate in an acting variety show tonight to create a wave of popularity. As long as she has a humble attitude, she will not bring trouble to the company, don't worry."

Listening to Minister Zhou's explanation, Chen Xiao nodded.

Understandable.

Personality is like labeling yourself, attracting the audience of this label, leaving an impression, and making it easier to stand out in the entertainment industry.

Such as the character of the academic master, the character of the foodie, the character of the sober person, and the character of the straight-talking person.

As long as she doesn't move her face, the vase persona will be stable.

"Is she coming here today?"

"Uh... I didn't inform her because she was given the position of a flower vase. I haven't seen her work hard on her acting in all these years."

"OK."

The two walked towards the training room together.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw He Xu, three girls and one boy sitting at the table next to him.

The four people saw them coming in and quickly stood up to say hello.

"You're welcome, sit down." Chen Xiao said hello and glanced at the layout of the training room.

The training room is about 100 square meters.

On the wall opposite the entrance is a large mirror with a projection screen on top that can be lowered if needed. There are 10 sets of tables and chairs on both sides, leaving a large open space in the middle.

Just as he was looking at it, he heard Minister Zhou behind him say in surprise: "Mingyue, why are you here?"

"I, I didn't want to come. I came with He Xu."

Chen Xiao looked back and saw a girl in her twenties sitting next to He Xu. She glanced at Minister Zhou and lowered her head with wandering eyes.

Chen Xiao's eyes lit up.

This actor's eyes are so beautiful.

A pair of peach blossom eyes, big and bright

In the entire entertainment industry, he can also be ranked among the top.

The moment he saw those eyes, a character popped into Chen Xiao's mind - Truman's first love.

It's a pity that such beautiful eyes can't act?

Let's wait and see what happens and see how far it can stretch the crotch.

Just when he sighed.

When He Xu heard Liming Yue's voice, she turned around and pointed at herself, "Hey, me?"

Liming Yue held her own water glass, glanced at He Xu, and quickly looked away, "Yes, you just entered the entertainment industry not long ago. I guess you don't know anyone else. Let me introduce them to you."

"Wow, Sister Mingyue, you are so nice."

Chen Xiao couldn't help but complain in his heart, imitating her tone.

Wow, you are so stupid.

Li Mingyue looked like she was here to take the class for free, and He Xu was staring at her with admiration and gratitude. She really needs to fix her brain.

Everyone chatted for a few minutes.

At nine o'clock, the training officially began.

There were a total of 8 artists present.

The eight people were of different ages, experiences, and levels.

For example, He Xu had only acted in "Kung Fu" and had no basic knowledge as a freshman.

The 27-year-old Li Mingyue had acted in many TV dramas.

There was also a male artist who just graduated from the acting major last year and was full of theories.

Faced with such a group of people, Chen Xiao thought for a moment and set a teaching plan for today.

"First, each of you will perform one or several of your best or most recent segments, with a total duration of no more than 3 minutes. Tell me the theme. I will score you based on your ability to express your lines, observation, attention, concentration, imagination, sensitivity, adaptability, expressiveness, and authenticity. I will also help you correct the most problematic parts on the spot, and you can go back and experience the rest."

"When others perform, you should also pay attention, because you may have the same problems."

"I will give you 10 minutes to think about which segment to perform. I will not act with you. You can choose a segment that you will perform alone, or find someone else to act with you, okay?"

The eight people nodded.
