Becoming a Global Superstar Starting as an Idol Trainee

After class, Chen Minhao followed Hu Ying to her office.

Hu Ying took out the A4 from the textbook and asked Chen Minhao to perform it again.

Chen Minhao nodded, and performed this 200-word personal monologue again.

After watching Chen Minhao's performance again, Hu Ying stared at Chen Minhao with sharp eyes, through the thick presbyopic glasses, unconcealable surprise and a trace of excitement shone in the muddy pupils.

Having been a teacher for nearly 30 years, Hu Ying feels that teaching is a bit like giving students a wooden barrel to carry water from the sea to the reservoir.

The teacher is the sea, and the students are the reservoir.

After the students fetched water from the sea, they carried the buckets along the way, bumpy and hard-working, over the mountains, through the wind and sun, and tried hard to walk back to the reservoir of their knowledge.

For some students, not to mention walking back to the reservoir of their own knowledge, the water in the bucket was sprinkled on the way.

But some students fetched nine liters of water from the sea, and when they walked back to the reservoir of their own knowledge, there were still nine liters of water in the bucket.

Obviously, Chen Minhao is the latter.

Chen Minhao has mastered the content of the lines and tones in the class just now, which is reflected in his second performance.

Hu Ying said: "Actually, I called you here this time because I have a chance to audition for a movie. I would like to recommend you to try it."

Chen Minhao smiled and said, "Thank you Professor Hu for your cultivation, when do you plan to audition?"

Hu Ying took off her reading glasses and put them on the table, looked at Chen Minhao and said, "Next week, but don't you ask about the script? Are you not afraid that I will push you to a trash crew?"

Chen Minhao smiled shyly and said, "I trust your vision."

Uh, what are you afraid of? If it's really a rubbish crew, after the audition, let Sister Kang reject it as a manager.

Hu Ying took out a stack of A4 papers from the drawer and handed it to Chen Minhao.

After Chen Minhao took it, he was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help blurting out: "English script?"

Hu Ying shook her head and said, "To be precise, it's an English audition script."

Chen Minhao found that there were indeed not many scripts in his hand, and there was still a big gap between them and the movie scripts.

"Your English should be good, right?" Hu Ying asked.

Chen Minhao was silent for a moment, and said cautiously: "The level in the entertainment industry should be considered good, and there is no problem with ordinary daily communication."

Hu Ying nodded: "The director and screenwriter of the script are British emerging female director Jessica Lee. She was nominated for best director by the Sundance Film Festival last year."

Chen Minhao has never heard of Jessica Lee, but he has heard of the Sundance Film Festival.

The Sundance Film Festival, dedicated to independent filmmakers, has grown in popularity in recent years, and it aims to encourage low-budget, independently produced films.

This is the world's premier independent film festival.

Although I have never heard of Jessica Lee, since she was nominated for the best director, she must have two brushes.

Seeing Chen Minhao's excited expression, Hu Ying smiled and said, "The role you want to audition for is the male lead. This opportunity is rare, so take advantage of it."

"Male lead?" Chen Minhao was taken aback for a moment.

Hu Ying added: "Jessica Li's husband is from Huaxia, the movie is called "Before Sunrise", and when translated into Chinese, it is called "Love Before Dawn Breaks Dawn".

The prototype of the story comes from the story of her falling in love with her husband. Therefore, the role of the hero must be Chinese or Chinese in the United States. "

"Actually, I don't agree with the students who don't have a solid foundation to join the acting group." Hu Ying looked at Chen Minhao and said earnestly:

"But we Chinese people have few chances to play leading roles in overseas movies, so this audition is very rare. You look good, you have a good command of English, and your acting skills are very malleable. I don't want you to miss this opportunity. You can think about the script with peace of mind this week. You'll be contacted for an audition next week."

Chen Minhao nodded seriously.

Coming out of Hu Ying's office, Chen Minhao didn't hang around, he went home immediately and started reading the English audition script without stopping.

The first is the plot outline, then the character introduction, and then the breakout scripts of the three scenes.

The script of "Love Before Dawn Breaks" is not complicated, even a bit simple.

Li Changgeng, a Chinese youth, ran into French schoolgirl Selina on the train, and the two chatted happily on the train. When the train arrived in Vienna, Li Changgeng kindly invited Selina to visit Vienna together, even though Li Changgeng had to leave by plane the next day.

Selina, who fell in love with Li Changgeng at first sight, accepted Changgeng's invitation.

While visiting the city, they talked about each other's past and their feelings about life, and the two got to know each other more deeply. They cherished this wonderful evening very much, the lovers experienced many romantic experiences together because they agreed to meet in half a year, and this date will end between sunrise.

In fact, this story, to put it bluntly, is very simple: a man and a woman met on the train, had a good impression, and spent a night together in Vienna, nothing more.

There are no ups and downs, no memorable incidents that sublimate the simple relationship between the two; just normal dates, meals, chats, and drinks.

But this simple plot tells an extremely touching love story.

Because it explores two of the most important themes of love: the acquisition of love, and the loss of love.

Just looking at the outline of the plot, Chen Minhao kind of likes this story. After reading the split scripts of the three scenes, he only had one thought in his mind: "I must take the role of Li Changgeng!"

From an emotional point of view:

In the three scenes, a man and a woman talked only about their own thoughts in a foreign country in their youthful days. The arrogant and magnificent talk, the collision of souls made the two fall in love.

The two talked naturally, developed a good impression naturally, held hands naturally, and kissed naturally. This is the most beautiful love appearance that Chen Minhao imagined.

From a rational point of view,

First, this is an opportunity to connect with European and American film circles. My ultimate goal is to become a global superstar, so naturally I can't just bloom inside the wall.

Second, Jessica Lee was nominated for best director at the Sundance Film Festival last year, which proves that she is a capable director.

Third, this is not a commercial blockbuster, but a low-cost romance film. Low cost has the advantage of low cost --- no need to burn money. As long as the quality and publicity can keep up, it can easily become a representative work of exchanging silver ingots for gold.

A week passed in a blink of an eye, and it was time for the audition appointment. Chen Minhao and Kang Hui arrived in Vienna in a low-key manner.

The two of them didn't want to make the audition too high-profile, because they were afraid that other companies would know the news and increase the number of competitors.
