crush the rich

Yin Lian's request is actually not embarrassing.

In fact, she just misappropriated a classic introductory topic of modern performance-liberating nature.Test the performance of the contestants in front of people and whether they can let go and the degree to which they can let go.Although this kind of performance mentality needs to be cultivated in many cases, Yin Lian really doesn't have time to cultivate it from scratch, so the direct choice is to choose the best from the ready-made people.

Even if it is not so professional, if the talent in this area is good enough, it can make up for the lack of acquired skills.Things like acting, although there is definitely no professional teaching in this world, it is not an academic skill, but a social skill.

Ordinary people may not need to act on stage for a lifetime, but they will naturally ponder the ways of the world in their lives, learn to lie and act, so as to build a better social image.Acting is an art developed on this basis, and people who are good at expressing themselves in reality will more or less have this talent.

Yin Lian intends to select talent with suitable image among these people.

What you need in the first round is not to be stage frightened.

The first requirement for the selection is to perform an animal, whether it is a domestic animal or a magical beast. As long as all the participants perform and let people understand what the imitated object is, it is considered a pass.

After this request was put forward, there was an uproar in the square, and there were many discussions.

Martil's people have no concept of liberating nature. To them, this request sounds more like a new method of insulting and playing with people that magicians have come up with.

The black sage is very unhappy with this atmosphere - although he also has considerable doubts about the so-called theory of liberating nature, he does not allow others to question it.After all, what is it for mere civilians to learn how to crawl like a dog?Naturally, mages cannot have the concept that all men are created equal, and even this idea is ridiculous to them.Soon the mages responsible for maintaining and deterring the scene began to order everyone to follow the instructions.

When Yin Lian noticed the commotion in the crowd, she wanted the pastor to explain the purpose of this round to appease the people, but she didn't expect a group of mages to directly suppress it with force, which directly frightened the people and made them act obediently.

She couldn't help lamenting that things like violence are so useful for state power, and it is easy for rulers to lose themselves.

But even so, she didn't plan to rely purely on the violent suppression of the mages to solve the problem.

She signaled her pastor to come to the stage, and explained the request—violent suppression can make people obey, but it can't motivate the people to actively mobilize all their potential and give the best performance in the selection.Power is not enough to motivate them.

So the pastor came up on stage and said, "Be quiet!"

"I know many of you wonder why you want to imitate animals, but these are not insults or fun. Since the story is going to be acted out, there may be all kinds of people in the story, all kinds of legends, not only There are people and things that are glorious, great, and joyful, but there are also people and things that are sad, painful, and move people to tears."

"We need great performers who can express all legends in the world. So in the stories you need to perform, you may also need to play ferocious monsters, deer accompanying the goddess, and even dying wolves... There will also be achievements Plots that people can’t handle easily—such as beggars, villains, or tyrants… These characters are far more difficult than an animal, but they have one thing in common, that is, they are not glamorous, which makes them more difficult. A pleasing character."

"We're willing to pay top dollar because we're looking for really great performers. If anyone sees it as a light and fun job with only benefits, it's a mistake."

"After understanding this, everyone can start your performance."

Pastors of Life Church are much more friendly than mages.He came forward to explain, and the content was very convincing, but it dispelled everyone's doubts and restored most people's trust in the game.

Yin Lian's attention was not on this.

In fact, when everyone was still questioning the content of the competition, some people in the huge square had already bent down and started to act as animals.

In order to facilitate the subsequent selection, the entire square was drawn with dividing lines. Although there were more than 1000 people participating, it was not very crowded. Everyone had at least a two-meter-square activity space for performances.With the participation of earth-type mages in the construction, the city of sages has never been stingy with the amount of construction work in the urban layout. The most central square in the city occupies a very large area, which can accommodate the carnival of the whole city. This kind of temporary arrangement may occupy the open space, and there is still enough space for selection at this time.

Yin Lian stood on the high platform in front of the square, using an eagle eye technique, she could easily see every corner of the square.And in this position, if the contestants have any special actions, Yin Lian can easily notice them.

When the pastor had just finished explaining the requirements and most people were still questioning, a few of them started performing according to the pastor's request without hesitation.Among these people, there was a girl who squatted down directly and began to act like a cat. Her movements and demeanor were almost lifelike, making her look like a cat demon instead of a human.

A man in his prime was performing a monster.His performance is not very flexible, and there are many blunt places, but it is obvious that he is very familiar with the characteristics and habits of the monster he is performing, and he may be a warrior, and the strength of his limbs and the movements he can make far exceed As an ordinary person, he can do actions that many people may not be able to imitate when performing, so that mages can easily tell that he is imitating a lion eagle.

In addition, there was a young man who imitated a snake.When Yin Lian gave the requirements for the competition, although there was no restriction on the breed of animals, the expected range was within the range of mammals - because the size of mammals is relatively similar to that of humans, it will be easier to imitate.

Of course, reptiles are not impossible to imitate, but for novices who have no concept of performance and do not have enough time to prepare, it is almost impossible to imitate well.

But the teenager imitated it very well.Not in appearance, but in charm.Snakes are molluscs. If they want to imitate the shape of a snake, it would be better if there are props that can be attached to them, but even if there is no one, the young man just leans on the ground and performs a snake-like posture.

Yin Lian was simply amazed.

You know, if it is in China, actors who can perform Shen Yun are definitely very rare, and they must have studied very hard and hard, but in Martial, this ability can only be regarded as talent. There is no other possibility.

Except for these few people, the movements of the other performers were much stiffer and rigid, and some even put their fingers on their heads to pretend to be rabbits, which made Yin Lian want to laugh.However, aside from the wrong understanding of the performance, their movements are far more open than expected.

While watching, Yin Lian asked people to bring all these people out.

After the mage's intimidation and the priest's explanation, more and more people began to think and learn from each other to act as an animal.Of course, there are those who cannot accept this requirement anyway, or are unwilling to try.The mages were not allowed to backtrack, but Yin Lian didn't care at all, and directly asked their names to be crossed out, allowing them to withdraw from the competition.

After the first round, [-]% of the players were eliminated in the entire arena. They were all contestants who had no talent in this area, or couldn't let go of their hands and feet, and were too stiff.

There were more than 500 people left. Yin Lian no longer allowed them to perform indiscriminately this time, but began to divide them into groups of 50 people to start the second round of selection.

The fundamentals of these selectors are in a mess, and it is of course impossible for Yin Lian to ask for some difficult or overly professional performances.Professional skills can be trained later, and Yin Lian just wants to discover their true qualities of drama.

When she was in the middle interval, she said to the crowd of mages who came to watch: "The next selection needs someone to participate in the assistance, about five guests are enough. Are you interested? Let me tell you first, if you participate, you can join me." Be as fair as possible."

The people sitting here are all high-ranking mages from the city of sages, including the four branch presidents of the Magic Association, and several mages who are actually disciples of the black sage even though they don't have the name of their disciples.Ji Liya, an unpredictable female mage, has always been very flattering and catering to Yin Lian for the face of the black sage, and immediately expressed her willingness to participate.

Three of the four branch presidents refused, but Danli, who was in charge of the magic circle department, was very interested.Then Yin Lian selected the two great mages who had enthusiastically signed up among the remaining mages, and the judges were considered complete.

Yin Lian explained the rules.

Each batch of 50 contestants is divided into ten groups by lottery. Every five people take the same fixed character and walk up to the stage in front of the square in sequence. Everyone has 3 minutes to express themselves and try to convince the referee that they are this character. on my own.For these people, it would be a waste of effort to talk about acting skills, lines, and acting skills, so Yin Lian doesn't ask for it, as long as they are good enough to deceive these high-level mages with extensive knowledge and tight logic.

There may not be one person in the five-person group who can pass the test. If the referee feels that his rhetoric is not convincing, they can all veto it.Of course, whether or not he can be selected has nothing to do with the decisions of the mages, Yin Lian will naturally have a judgment in his heart.

Just let mages get involved and have some fun.

Then Yin Lian let the first batch of performers in.

The players are not grouped randomly, but are grouped according to their own backgrounds.There are a total of ten identity cards in one set, and each person has three chances to draw their original identity. That is to say, there is a very low chance that they will act themselves.

This method confuses the line of sight, increases the difficulty of judging by the referees, and prevents the mages from being overly conceited, because they know that all identities are fake, and they are determined not to give a positive judgment-with the self-esteem of the mages, they are still very likely That's it.

Soon, the first batch of players from the first group took the stage.

The five contestants introduced themselves one by one, and the content was almost unchanged.The first edition was set up as a blacksmith, but most of the people who came on stage were skinny and skinny, so they didn't look like they were made for this.Almost all five judges gave negative votes.

The second group came up were farmers.Four of them were men and only one was a woman.Among the men, only one man's self-introduction was very reliable, he sounded like a farmer, and the others couldn't even speak fluently in their self-introduction, so they were naturally rejected.

In the end, the woman who claimed to be a peasant woman came up, imitated the noble lady's appearance and bowed awkwardly, and introduced herself: "Masters, my name is Idia, and I live in the vanilla farm outside the east city. .I have a daughter, two sons, and my husband also applied for wheat planting this year, and we are all very grateful to you masters.”

"I have loved watching bard performances since I was a child, and I dream of having the same ability. I don't know if I can do it, but if I have such an opportunity, I will definitely do my best. Thank you, sir. "

Yin Lian couldn't help but raised her head and sized up the peasant lady carefully.

All the participants got the same character design template, and everyone in front of them basically followed the script, but this lady peasant woman was different—she added a lot of character design and roles to herself.

All of her lines conform to the character template, but they are completely different from the content in the template.
