Chapter 32 Even the best actors need a little pressure to stimulate their potentialThat night, when everyone was moved to tears by the story of Wu and Xiaoxue, the three people in Shen Ming's dormitory were busy with their graduation projects. In the previous lawsuit against Blue Ocean TV, Director Han used graduation as a bargaining chip to force Jin Cheng to leave Shen Ming's team and let him be betrayed by his friends again. In the end, he was severely ridiculed by them. Now, the backlash of that taunting has finally arrived. The papers they submitted were rejected again and again, each time for minor but insignificant issues that were extremely annoying. Tomorrow is the last day for the thesis defense, and they only have one night left. Sun Rui took the coffee in one hand and gulped it down, while typing away on the keyboard with the other hand. This did not stop him from exchanging a few words with Shen Ming, "Brother Ming, let me tell you, even though the old witch is nitpicking now, you will definitely surprise her tomorrow!" Jin Cheng rubbed his brows tiredly, but the dark circles under his eyes could not suppress the excitement in his heart. Three months ago, almost everyone thought they would not be able to graduate, even they themselves thought so for a time. But three months later, they actually did it!! They were cheated of all their efforts by Lin Yuyan, but they started from scratch and created a hit special drama with a viewership rate of , and even helped save the precarious Star TV station.
This is an irrefutable fact. Therefore they are not afraid of any questioning at all. Shen Ming looked at the two steadfast partners beside him and smiled faintly. Having these two reliable partners around gave him real confidence. At dawn, Shen Ming and the other two had already arrived at the classroom. After waiting for three full hours, their mentor, Professor Yang, finally arrived. But surprisingly, Professor Yang didn't even look at their printed papers. Instead, she looked back and forth between the three of them, and her tone even revealed a strange sense of relief. "I have watched all of your Ultraman, and it is really good. Although it is targeted at children, it has a novel concept, a tricky angle and sharp viewpoints. The filming and editing are also very well done. It is indeed an excellent graduation project." "Therefore, I give you a perfect score for your paper!" The moment they heard the full score, Shen Ming and the other two looked at each other and they all understood what each other meant. Could it be that Professor Yang’s face had been replaced? In the four years that I have been taking her classes, Professor Yang has always had a stern face. Why is she so amiable today? Professor Yang looked at the looks between them and knew that these guys were not holding back their fart. "Don't think too highly of yourself!" Professor Yang said in a deep voice, and continued, "Let me make it clear in advance that the prerequisite for getting a full score is that you give up participating in the graduation project competition. This competition is just a gimmick and will not do you any good." The graduation project competition of Binhai Drama Academy is sponsored exclusively by Blue Ocean TV. The winner will receive a dream-building fund of 50 million yuan. It is said to be to encourage students' creativity, but in reality it is a secret operation of Blue Ocean TV. Because every champion will eventually sign a contract with Blue Ocean TV, either voluntarily or forced to do so. The money just changes hands and eventually flows into Blue Ocean TV's own pockets, while they gain a good reputation. After a while, Shen Ming's thoughts turned into a thousand thoughts. "Teacher Yang, we will not give up the competition. That's a huge sum of 50 million." In the end, he gave this answer. Professor Yang then looked at the other two people, and seeing that they had the same determined expressions as Shen Ming, he stopped trying to persuade them. She had also heard about Lin Yuyan and Lan Haitai teaming up to cheat Shen Ming and his classmates out of their graduation project, and she knew that these young people would not be able to swallow this. Professor Yang just gave a friendly reminder: "The judges of the competition are all people who are on good terms with Blue Ocean TV, and they will definitely not vote for you, but Blue Ocean TV has opened online voting this year, which may be an opportunity."
Hearing this, Shen Ming suddenly understood why Professor Yang had been so difficult with him last night. If he couldn't even pass Professor Yang's challenge, he would have no hope of participating in the competition. Shen Ming bowed to Professor Yang sincerely and thanked him, "Thank you, Professor Yang." Jin Cheng and Sun Rui also understood and followed suit to express their gratitude. Professor Yang took a half step back and felt guilty. Her students were bullied to the point that their graduation projects were stolen, but she, as a teacher, couldn't say a word. After teaching in schools for so many years, her network of contacts has declined. This era is already the world of young people. On the way back to the crew, Sun Rui, who got full marks for the first time, was like a chicken with its blood pumped up. He asked Shen Ming with great enthusiasm what plot would be filmed next week and he would start preparing immediately. Shen Ming smiled at him, his face full of joy at catching a hard worker, "There is indeed work for you to do. We will be shooting episodes 33 and 34 this week. Episode 33 requires four sets of suits. The props team will have a rest on the weekend, so I'll leave the maintenance work to you." Sun Rui was unwilling to be exploited, and struggled to reach Shen Ming in the back seat from the passenger seat. Shen Ming ran to the door with a laugh, and his face turned red because of Sun Rui's laughter. Jin Cheng, who was in the driver's seat, screamed in fear and tried his best to suppress Sun Rui, asking him to behave himself, otherwise he would abandon him on the road. There was a lot of chatting in the car, and the group of people drove away into the distance laughing. The next day, the crew started a new day of filming. After receiving their respective scripts, Jiang Yuqiu, who played the role of Fu Qiu, a female member of the Kute team, frowned and found Shen Ming to confirm, "Director Shen, are you mistaken? Why do I have a special effects part? Isn't this the role of the actors in the suits?" Shen Ming turned to the back of the script and explained to her: "The series "Ultraman" has a total of thirty-nine episodes. Before the finale, we need to flesh out the characters one last time. The thirty episodes will be an in-depth portrayal of you and your brother Xingye." "And the previous episodes have been about the darkness of human nature, so this episode we need to show the conscience of human nature, that is, the innocence in the hearts of children, do you understand?" Although he didn't know what the relationship between Tong Zhen and himself was, Fu Qiu still walked away as if he understood it. At this time, Jin Cheng floated out of nowhere and complained: "Obviously, they can't arrange the scenes. Does Yuqiu know that she will be infinitely magnified in front of the camera?" Shen Ming replied without any guilt: "I don't know at the moment, but I have asked the makeup artist to make her look beautiful. I guarantee that there will be no flaws in front of the camera." Jin Cheng imagined the scene and found it hard to watch. Hopefully it won't become a nightmare for the kids. The shooting of the normal shots went smoothly, but there was some jam when it came to the special effects part. Jiang Yuqiu is a girl after all, and it takes some strength for her to destroy the well-made building model. Just when Shen Ming was at a loss, he saw Jiang Yuqiu's younger brother Jiang Ye who was watching the show. Shen Ming quickly had someone hold up a writing board in front of Jiang Yuqiu, on which was written this sentence: "Yuqiu, your brother took the lipstick from your bag to draw." Jiang Yuqiu, who was a little bit restrained just now, suddenly punched through the building next to him! Then, the handwriting tablet turned the page. The second one reads: "Your magic water was poured into the flower pond." boom! ! An entire row of buildings was swept down! ! The entire crew was shocked.
In front of the camera, Shen Ming nodded with satisfaction. It turned out that even the best actors need a little pressure to stimulate their potential. (End of this chapter)
