The rest area smelled of afternoon tea, and everyone was chill. Host Liu Shi cracked jokes with the contestants, showing off his friendly, funny side.
"Good afternoon, everyone!" Liu Shi walked into the rest area with a cup of coffee, smiling as he looked around. "I thought I'd see a lot of nervous faces, but you all look like you're here on vacation."
"That's because the recording hasn't started yet," Lin Youyou laughed. "Once the competition begins, some might have shaky hands."
Liu Shi laughed and flashed a thumbs-up. "You nailed it! But hey, I'm the helpful type. If you ever freeze up, I've got your back."
"Weren't you the one laughing the hardest during the last survival challenge?" Tang Tian rolled her eyes. "You couldn't stop grinning when others got into trouble."
"That's different! It was for the show!" Liu Shi said seriously. "Today's an impromptu acting competition. I won't dare to laugh randomly. By the way, since when did an assistant like you join this show? Did your aunt arrange it?"
Meanwhile, Lin Yuan listened to the conversation while munching on snacks. Tang Tian pulled his sleeve and whispered, "The three judges today? They're a big deal."
"Oh?" Lin Yuan perked up.
"The first one is Zhou Yanzhi. You know her—she's a top - notch actress and singer."
"Yeah, Sister Zhou seems easy to get along with," Lin Yuan nodded.
"The second is Zhou Chi, a comedy actor and director. His comedy style is really unique, and he personally selects minor characters for many of his movies."
"A comedy actor as a judge? He probably won't be too strict."
Tang Tian leaned in, voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "Don't count your chickens. This Shao Yuen's the real deal. Actor, singer, playwright, he does it all. Total triple threat."
Lin Yuan repeated the name thoughtfully but didn't have any impression of him.
"The thing is," Tang Tian whispered, "I heard he's a bit cocky, but he's good - looking, rich, and really loyal."
Lin Yuan: "..."
"Does being good - looking excuse everything?"
"He's a jack-of-all-trades and the show's special mentor. He can send you to the next round," Tang Tian said.
Lin Yuan laughed. "Sounds fun."
Just then, a staff member entered the rest area. "Everyone, the live broadcast is about to start. Please get ready."
Everyone quickly got into gear, preparing for the upcoming competition.
The stage lights came on, and the live broadcast officially began.
Liu Shi stood in the center of the stage, holding a microphone with a big smile. "Dear viewers, welcome to the live broadcast of the fifth - episode impromptu acting competition! I'm your host, Liu Shi."
[(Live Chat): Liu Shi! I'm here!]
[Can't wait for today's off-the-cuff acting!]
[Bet there are some secret acting prodigies here!]
"Today, we have 15 contestants, including new - generation actors and fresh beginners," Liu Shi said, pointing to the big screen. "But before introducing them, let's take a look at our three judges today."
The information of the three judges appeared on the screen one by one:
Zhou Yanzhi: A top - tier actress and singer who has won the Best Actress Award, skilled in various drama styles.
Zhou Chi: Comedy actor and director, famous for funny shows and great acting.
Shao Yuen: Multitalented star, awesome in movies, TV, and plays.
[Zhou Yanzhi is so beautiful!]
[Zhou Chi, haha! This director is so funny. He's my childhood idol!]
[Shao Yuan! Oh my god, he actually came?]
Shao Yuan sat on the judging panel, casually shaking his sleeves. He really did have that "cocky" vibe.
Liu Shi smiled. "Contestants, today's theme is Extreme Survival! Now, please look at the big screen."
The screen showed a scene of a zombie - infested city:
Someone was running for their life, holding a child, their face filled with fear.Someone pushed women and the elderly away, sacrificing others without hesitation.Someone picked up a weapon and fought desperately but was quickly overwhelmed by the zombies. Huddled in a corner, someone shook with fear, praying for a chance to flee. In just ten minutes, the clip crackled with tension and non-stop drama.
Liu Shi said, "Contestants, you now have 15 minutes to decide which role you want to play. Roles can be repeated, but choose the one that best showcases your acting skills."
[This is so exciting!]
[I love this survival theme]
[Those with weak acting skills are gonna struggle]
The contestants started thinking, and the live - chat room was already abuzz with discussion.
[Is that Lin Yuan I see?]
[Someone's gonna play the bad guy, mark my words!]
[Can't wait for the epic scenes!]
Lin Yuan's eyes flickered. He glanced at Zhou Yanzhi and then at Shao Yuan.
Leaning in, he murmured to Tang Tian, "Which role do you think I should go for?"
Chewing on a mouthful of snacks, Tang Tian blurted, "Go for something new."
===================
现场气氛轻松,下午茶的香味在休息区弥漫.刘石身为主持人,熟练地和选手们打成一片,显得风趣而亲和.
"各位下午好啊!" 刘石拿着一杯咖啡,笑着走进休息区,环顾四周,"我还以为会看到很多紧张的脸孔呢,结果你们一个个都像是来度假的."
"那是因为还没开录." 林柚柚笑道,"等到真正比赛开始,可能会有人手抖."
"哈哈,说得没错!" 刘石朝她竖起大拇指,"不过放心,我可是很温柔的主持人,到时候会尽力帮你们解围的."
"上次生存挑战你不是笑得最开心的那一个?" 唐甜翻了个白眼,"看到别人被坑,乐得嘴都合不拢."
"那不一样,那是综艺效果!" 刘石一本正经地说道,"今天可是专业的即兴演技赛,我可不敢瞎笑.话说,你一个助理跑来参加这个节目了?你姨的安排?"
另一边,林远一边吃着点心,一边听着大家聊天.唐甜悄悄拉了拉他的衣袖,小声道:"我刚刚打听到,这次的三位裁判可不简单."
"哦?" 林远来了兴趣.
"第一位是周妍芝,你也认识的,实力派女演员兼歌手."
"嗯,周姐感觉很好相处." 林远点头.
"第二位是周驰,喜剧演员和导演,他的喜剧风格很独特,很多电影里的小角色都是他亲自挑选."
"喜剧演员当评委?那应该不会太严肃."
"别太乐观,最后一位才是最难搞的." 唐甜故作神秘地压低声音,"他叫绍源,全能艺人,演员,歌手,话剧,甚至还做过编剧."
林远若有所思地重复了一遍这个名字,没什么印象.
"重点是," 唐甜压低声音, "听说他有点臭屁,但人帅多金,而且很讲义气."
林远:"..."
"长得帅就能原谅一切?"
"没办法,他可是全能型艺人,而且还是这次节目的特别导师,可能会直接决定谁能进下一轮."
林远轻笑了一下:"那倒是挺有趣的."
这时,工作人员走进休息区:"各位,直播即将开始,请准备."
所有人迅速进入状态,准备迎接即将到来的比赛.
舞台灯光亮起,直播正式开始.
刘石站在舞台中央,举着话筒,笑容满面:"各位观众朋友们,欢迎来到第五期即兴演技赛的直播现场!我是你们的主持人刘石."
[弹幕:刘石!我来了!]
[期待今天的即兴演技!]
[看看有没有隐藏的演技天才]
"今天,我们有15位参赛者,其中有新生代演员,也有刚刚入行的新人." 刘石一边说,一边指向大屏幕,"不过,在介绍他们之前,我们先来看看今天的三位裁判."
屏幕上依次出现三位评委的资料:
周妍芝:实力派演员兼歌手,曾获得最佳女主角奖,擅长各种戏剧风格.
周驰:喜剧演员兼导演,以幽默风格和扎实的演技著称.
绍源:全能型艺人,跨界发展,从影视剧到舞台剧均有亮眼表现.
[周妍芝太美了!]
[周驰哈哈哈,这位导演超有趣,我童年的偶像啊!]
[绍源!我的天,他居然来了?]
绍源坐在评审席上,随意地抖了抖衣袖,果然透着一股 "臭屁" 的气质.
刘石笑道:"各位选手,今天的主题是,极限生存! 现在,请大家看大屏幕."
屏幕上播放了一段丧尸围城的情景:
有人抱着孩子逃命,满脸恐惧;有人推开妇女和老人,毫不犹豫地牺牲别人;有人拿起武器拼命反抗,却很快被丧尸吞噬;有人隐藏在角落瑟瑟发抖,等待时机逃生.
短短十分钟的片段,充满了紧张感和戏剧冲突.
刘石:"各位选手,现在请你们在15分钟内决定你们想要演绎的角色.角色可以重复,但请选出最能展现自己演技的一面."
[刺激!]
[我最喜欢这种生存题材]
[演技不行的会被虐惨吧]
选手们纷纷低头思考,而直播间里已经开始热烈讨论.
[我好像看到林远?]
[感觉有人会选恶人角色]
[期待有高光时刻]
林远目光微闪,看了一眼周妍芝,又看了一眼绍源.
他低声对唐甜说:"你觉得我该选什么?"
唐甜嘴里塞着点心,含糊不清地说:"选个你没演过的呗."
