Chapter 81

"This variety show is different from the previous ones. Have you done any research on it?"

Meng Youcheng leaned against the car window, closed his eyes, and recited to himself, "This is an elimination system, and it can be regarded as your acting debut, so you must cherish this opportunity..."

Jiang Yuming, who was standing next to him, stared at him intently, moved closer, and placed his head on his shoulder. "I've watched the previous few videos, so I have a certain understanding of them, right?"

The man did not resist, leaning in comfortably, still with his eyes closed, and continued, "The first round of the competition is a big bloodletting, 200 contestants, let four international actors select, after one round, nearly 50 contestants will be eliminated..."

"Every contestant has some film and television content, which is for reference. This is a very disadvantageous thing for you. Are you afraid?"

Meng Youcheng slowly opened his eyes, "Are you nervous?"

The young man smiled, stared at him, and shook his head. "I think it's okay. There's nothing to be afraid of. My strength is there. If my ability is not good enough, I just need more training. Besides, you are always by my side. There is nothing to be afraid of..."

The man closed his eyes again and sighed heavily, "Ah..."

"What's the matter, uncle?"

Meng Youcheng raised his head and said, "You are not afraid, but I am. This opportunity is very important to you. Don't think about the effect of the show. Perform hard and show your best side so that the audience can see it. Work hard to get an excellent ranking. This is the most important thing..."

"Uncle, are you very tired?"

The boy raised his hand and touched his cheek, "Why do you have dark circles under your eyes?"

"I……"

Meng Youcheng held his hand and put it down, "Why do you think I have dark circles under my eyes?"

"Um... because of last night..."

The man waved his hand and interrupted him. "It doesn't matter whether I have dark circles under my eyes or not. The main thing is you. Are you mentally affected now? Do you want me to buy you something that can cheer you up?"

Jiang Yuming smiled and looked into his eyes. "Looking at you refreshes me, especially at night when you lie shirtless next to me. Even if the light is very dim, my head is still very clear..."

Meng Youcheng leaned on his shoulder again and closed his eyes. "It seems that you are fine now..."

……

Arriving at the show venue, the variety show finally began at this moment.

There is no script for this scene. The contestants choose the segments they want to perform, and then the judges make their choices.

Live broadcast, and even more fatally, there are nearly 3000 spectators already seated at the scene...

The host came on stage, "Welcome everyone to the acting competition, I am your host, Xiao He..."

"This time, the judges we selected are national-level actors. The first one is... a national-level actor, Mr. Zhao Dan. Everyone, give a warm welcome..."

After a while, Mr. Zhao, who was about 50 years old, came on stage and sat on the judges' bench...

The host continued to speak, and several other judges appeared one after another...

There are four judges in total, including Mr. Zhao, all of whom are very good actors. They have won many awards of various kinds, and the scripts they performed are also well-known...

Meng Youcheng didn't pay much attention...

There are four judges, two men and two women. The two older ones are in their fifties or sixties.

There were also two young people, around 20 or 30 years old.

"The last judge is this year's Best Actress winner, Fang Tingting. Please give her a warm welcome..."

This is the fourth judge, and also the youngest-looking actress. She is very beautiful. She waved to the audience and said, "Hello, everyone!"

Just take a seat...

All four judges have come on stage...

Meng Youcheng stared at the scene intently...

Xu Xingcheng told him that Jiang Yuming had no works to his credit, so even if he had excellent acting skills, he would most likely fail the exam.

So he started a shady deal among the four judges. In other words, among these four national-level actors, one was his own?

As the man was thinking...

A hand suddenly patted his shoulder, causing him to shudder...

He quickly turned around to check...

"elder brother……?"

Jiang Yuming's expression beside him darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye...

Situ Ming still had a smile on his face, "Long time no see."

Meng Youcheng thought for a moment, "Situ Ming...? Why are you here?"

"I am a guest on the show, right?"

"Do you know what show this is? Aren't you an idol? Why are you participating in this kind of variety show?"

Facing the man's series of questions, Situ Ming smiled and responded, "It's very simple. Didn't I tell you before that I can transform at any time?"

"After I turn 25, my idol career will hit a low point. I don't want to sit and wait for death. Unlike you, I need to find opportunities myself. This is an opportunity I found. As long as I can successfully participate in this variety show, my transformation will be successful."

Meng Youcheng was a little confused, "But you..."

"Brother, are you worried about me?"

Situ Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know my acting skills well. This time, the champion must be me. I still say the same thing. If you want to be my agent, I will welcome you at any time..."

Meng Youcheng was just about to speak...

Jiang Yuming next to him couldn't wait to step forward and said, "You think too much. This time the championship is mine!"

"is it?"

Situ Ming smiled and looked up at him, "Mr. Jiang, are you so confident? I don't think so. Everything is possible. Just like how I stepped on my own good brother as a stepping stone in order to be on this show..."

"Mr. Jiang, you are so naive, you are really not suitable for this line of work. I advise you to... give up as soon as possible."

Listening to his words, Meng Youcheng couldn't help but think of the news from a few days ago.

901 boy band members insulted their leader. Is it really that hard to be a leader?!

When I think about it this way...

This piece of news must have been fabricated by him on purpose.

The comments all over the screen are...

[Mingming is really pitiful...]

What a ruthless character!

Jiang Yuming's face suddenly fell, "My business... doesn't need you to interfere, you should just take care of yourself. I hope you can survive the first game. Only then will we have a chance to have a fair 1v1."

The variety show officially begins...

The contestants came on stage one by one, performing their carefully prepared scripts and introducing their backgrounds and the roles they had played...

The judges will light up the lights. If no judge lights up the light, then the contestant will be eliminated directly...

Each judge only has 30 spots in total, but they can also fight for an additional 10 spots, but most likely they won't fight for them...

That is to say, out of the 200 contestants, nearly 80 will be eliminated in the first round of competition.

Jiang Yuming's position was chosen in the middle, neither front nor back.

Meng Youcheng has been observing the scene...

The two older judges were very demanding on acting skills and their words were also very harsh...

However, compared to on-the-spot performance, they seem to value the information more...

The other two who were slightly younger were much more relaxed and spoke very gently. However, Meng Youcheng felt that their requirements were much more difficult than those of the other two...

At least after the first round, there were 50 players, and their two teams combined had less than four people.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the scene was filled with laughter.

Not everyone prepared the script very well, or not everyone prepared enough. Ten out of 50 people performed poorly.

Host: "Let's welcome the next contestant, Jiang Yuming from Shixing Company."

Jiang Yuming finally came on stage...

Meng Youcheng was in the backstage, his heart in his throat...

This young man's script was specially selected by Meng Youcheng. The script is very easy and there is little room for creativity. This is a late move to get through the first competition first...

As long as his acting skills are not bad, the judge specially arranged by Xu Xingcheng will choose him without hesitation.

Let’s pass the first level first.

Acting begins...

This is a very ordinary performance. The boy performed very well, at least there was no collapse. Every detail was handled well, and every emotion was accurately grasped...

Five minutes later, his performance was over.

Zhao Dan looked at him. "You performed very well, but why didn't you write any works in the column of performance works?"

Jiang Yuming didn't think about it and replied with a smile, "I have indeed not participated in any TV series so far, including movies."

Zhao Dan: "Oh, I see. Actually, I think there are some problems with the details in your performance. Um... the emotions are not particularly on point, and the appeal is not particularly strong. Moreover, the script you chose is very immature and there is not much room for you to perform. I'm sorry, my lamp may not be able to light up for you."

The second judge, an older male actor, said, "Actually, my thoughts are very similar to Mr. Zhao's. The space for displaying the work is too small. Your performance did not give me a particularly good feeling, so I am sorry..."

"I can't turn on this light."
