Chapter 004 Simulation Training

Understood, both individuals replied

After finishing their meal, the two did not say a word and began to seriously read the "Actor's Qualities" sent to them by Wei Donghai. They didn't even turn on the television.

In the evening, they walked out of the training room holding several thick books sent by Wei Donghai. They were the last to leave, as the lights in the other rooms had all been turned off.

The conditions at Huaxia are much better than at Tianguang. That bastard company at Tianguang simply does not treat trainees as human beings. Li Hao rolled around on the soft bed; this is a dormitory shared by two people, and currently, there are only five rooms marked with names at the entrance. The others are all empty.

Do not celebrate too early; the lifeblood of the entertainment company does not lie in these facilities. Even if Chen Daoming, Feng Xiaogang, and others are in this company, there will still be plenty of people willing to come, even if the trainees have to sleep on straw mats. Moreover, there is the final ultimatum from Yongle, and only one year remains. If there is still no progress by then, not to mention Chu Yiming, even his forebears would not allow him to continue.

"Very punctual." CAMI was already waiting for them in front of the building: "However, I hope you can arrive half an hour early next time; we cannot keep the teacher waiting for you"

Lin Xiao expressed his gratitude. In fact, he thought that if he could continue with the Internet Worm Diary, it would be even better. Not only would it connect him with the prominent male figure Huang Xiaoming in the future, but it would also allow him to meet Ning Caishen and Ying Da. These connections would serve as capital for either making a name for himself or turning his life around in the future

By the time he came to his senses, Wei Donghai's lecture had already concluded

Your role is that of the Eighth Prince, Yin Zhen. Although he is a prince, his screen time is quite limited; throughout the entire Kangxi era, he has only appeared a few times alongside Tu Shu, which is far less than the roles of ministers like Suo'etu, Li Guangdi, and Wei Dongting. Otherwise, we would not have been able to secure this role. Wei Donghai said: "The other party has only one requirement: the appearance must be spirited, youthful, and handsome. The acting skills are not highly demanded. Otherwise, we would not have been able to secure this role." Wei Donghai said: "The other party has only one requirement: the appearance must be spirited, youthful, and handsome. The acting skills are not highly demanded."

Gritting his teeth, he dialed CAMI's mobile phone.

You all may return to your own dormitories first

"The Kangxi Dynasty is filming in June, and Never Give Up in November." Before he could say anything, CAMI advised, "Don't think about overlapping roles; your current level cannot handle two productions. Signing a contract is already difficult. Not to mention that Chen Daoming from Kangxi and Li Youbing from Never Give Up are both seasoned actors, currently among the top-tier in the industry. Gaining approval from one side will require all your efforts, and you definitely cannot manage both sides."

"What is worth affirming is that after so many years, it is still like this." Wei Donghai waved his hand and said sternly to the two, "My requirements are very strict, and I hope both of you can take this seriously"

Wei Donghai spoke very seriously, but Lin Xiao's attention was not focused on him. No matter how impressive Wei Donghai was, he could not compare to Chen Kaige, who was secretly providing him with special support in his mind

However, the film and television industry is very averse to overlapping schedules. When acting in a production, one must be fully committed; if the schedules conflict, it will inevitably distract from other roles. This is more acceptable for supporting roles, but if it concerns the lead role in a major production, the director will absolutely not allow it

Lin Xiao and Li Hao exchanged a glance; they had indeed fallen short against the rookie wall

The training, with only twenty days available, can be considered as the final temporary sprint for the Kangxi Dynasty

"https://m.hetushu.com. Study diligently with your teacher and focus on performing this play well. This is your new starting point, and I hope you take it seriously." CAMI reminded them: "This is your acting subject training teacher, Wei Donghai. Although he is not well-known in the country, he is among the first group of actors to enter Hollywood. His acting skills are commendable, and I hope you can study earnestly." His acting skills are commendable, and I hope you can study earnestly.

The artist building of Huaxia Film and Television is actually located just behind Huaxia. What surprised him was that the conditions of this building were significantly better than the place they were renting. It is worth noting that when they formed the group, there was not even a substandard residence available.

It's fine, just be more careful next time. CAMI nodded and said: "During this period, you should follow the training department of the company. There's no need to come to the company unless it's for auditions, as that is your top priority."

The next day, he applied for discharge. After the doctor conducted several repeated examinations and confirmed that there were no issues, he left the hospital under the skeptical gaze of the old doctor

At 11 o'clock, the lights on the floor are turned off on time, as mandated by the regulations of Huaxia, to prevent artists from staying up late. After chatting for a while, they went to bed on time

The room is quite simple, containing only a television, a few stools, and a scruffy, thin middle-aged man who is already seated inside.

Two points? 1000 yuan can increase two points. Lin Xiao then realized how precious the points gained from those side quests are

Sister CAMI, I would like to inquire about the schedule for the Kangxi Dynasty and Never Give Up.

To him now, it is no less than an astronomical figure Moreover, he checked his bank account and indeed found a shortfall of 1000

After losing https://wwwhetushu.com, I came to understand the value of cherishing what I have. On this path, the two individuals who have not yet passed the rookie wall will not easily let this opportunity slip by

After more than ten minutes, their car stopped in front of a newly constructed office building, which was bright and clean. According to Li Hao, the middle three floors of this 20-story building had been leased by Huaxia, which is quite a significant investment for a newly established entertainment company

Adding up to 80 points in acting, he certainly does not want to let this opportunity slip by. Moreover, the requirement is merely to sign a contract.

Sister CAMI, I have thought about it. However, even if we can sign on, our roles would at most be supporting characters, enough to have time to shoot two films

The entire day was spent almost entirely on analyzing the script and delving into the psychological aspects of the characters

They took two people upstairs. The training rooms here are separate, with each actor having their own training room. Of course, this is the case now when there are few people; as the number of people increases in the future, they will naturally be combined.

CAMI paused for a moment and finally said: "In this way, if you are fortunate enough to sign on for the first part, after you finish your scenes and have digested everything, then we can make it happen through other channels to reserve a spot for you in the second part."

In the second year, neither the audience nor the fans will regard you as a newcomer; stricter standards await those who have completed their first year. In the absence of novelty, if you manage to push through, you can continue to survive. If you cannot make it through, it will be a dead end, leaving you with no qualification for a comeback.

Just as the elevator button for the fifteenth floor was pressed, the doors opened, and CAMI stepped out. Upon seeing them, she was momentarily taken aback: "Discharged? Are you sure everything is alright?"

Lin Xiao did not respond, but smiled and said: "It's time to take a break from the books and the pictures. Tomorrow we have actor training, so don't go with two panda eyes."

He steeled himself and invested all his savings into the training system. At the same time, he discovered that the training system was divided into four major modules: vocal skills, acting, dynamism, and performance. Vocal skills and acting are self-explanatory; dynamism focuses on the physical fitness of artists, such as for concerts and large-scale martial arts performances—without a good physique, one cannot hope to succeed. As for performance, he surmised it pertains to modeling and stage presence.

Although it may seem like an insignificant role, its importance is not to be underestimated. It is said that the company invested heavily to secure this audition. The news regarding the casting for Kangxi will not be announced until two months later

Wei Donghai's subtle reminder made both individuals reflect for a moment. The dinner that evening was a nutritious meal delivered by CAMI, with a harmonious combination of meat and vegetables. Lin Xiao was relatively fine, and when he saw the less than 20-year-old Li Hao picking out the disliked carrots, he still had the mood to advise him to eat them.

The next day at 9:30, they arrived punctually in front of a building not far from the company. The first floor of this building had already been rented by Huaxia.

Although CAMI suggested that they go directly back to the dormitory, he still felt that it would be better to come and say hello

The life of an artist is not as glamorous as it seems. For lesser-known artists, survival is a challenge; some have even rented basements while training. Third-tier artists earn slightly more than white-collar workers, while second-tier artists can earn two to three times more with a bit of effort. It is the first-tier artists that are the dazzling stars seen on television.

"Sister CAMI." The two of them respectfully called out. From what he understood, Lin Xiao knew that the other party was their agent and mentor, and quickly replied, "It's nothing, I just want to familiarize myself with the script and get my makeup done as soon as possible"

In early March in Beijing, where the tender green has just begun to emerge, he walked along the streets still carrying a hint of chill in the air. Observing the buildings that were far less towering than those a decade later, and dressed in attire that was not particularly trendy, he finally came to a complete realization that he was a time traveler

Newcomers, unaware of how difficult this line of work is. Wei Donghai, who came out with them, glanced at the dark training room and scoffed: "Those who do not put in the effort do not even qualify to hit the 'Rookie Wall'"

The next morning, as soon as he woke up, he heard a system sound in his mind: "Training completed, acting skills increased by two points"

His acting skills have now reached a D level, but the standard of C level is already visible, with a score of 100 points. 50,000! Three and a half months!

"In three months, your promotional photos must be submitted to the first production team—'Kangxi Dynasty.' Time is of the essence." Wei Donghai glanced at them and continued, "Remember, since you have joined the film and television industry, do not think about singing for the time being. You are newcomers in this field, and apart from your fame, you are even less qualified than specialized students. You have three months, and you must fully grasp this opportunity."

The deposit is exactly 10,000. By increasing by 20 performance points, if both plays are accepted, it will total exactly 100 points. Then he can reach level C in performance.

I am well aware of these matters. Li Hao sighed, saying, "It's a pity that I just terminated my contract with Tianguang and gave up singing to enter the film and television industry; I fear that this time the hope is slim."

He glanced at the screen, where the demonstration film was precisely "Farewell My Concubine"

Of course, this does not count as extra income
