In the suspense and court drama assessment stages of the variety show "Infinite Transcendence Class Season 2", Zhu Zixiao's experience can be accurately described in one word, that is, "lost in the east, reaped in Sangyu". He wanted to play the role of Kong Wu in "The Golden Branch" but was not selected by Hao Lei, but in the process of fighting for Kong Wu, he unexpectedly obtained a small supporting role in "The Long Season" that made him usher in the highlight moment, and won praise for his good performance and the acting invitation card issued by the producer.
Zhu Zixiao, who did not get a role in the suspense drama assessment, switched to the court drama assessment, and had already gotten on the bus to "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang" to compete for the role of Dol Roll. But when he was in the car, due to the absence of female artist Zheng Hehuizi from the suspense and palace repertoire assessment, there was one less female artist, not enough to match men and women, and Zhu Zixiao, who did not take the initiative to invite female artists, was also singled.
Although Zhu Zixiao can arbitrarily choose a female artist who already has a partner to play with him and play the same clip, he thinks that eight or nine people will fight for two roles, and the probability of being selected in Group A of "Golden Branch Desire" is 50%, either he will be successful or not, so he will directly give up Dol Roll, and after arriving at the scene of "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang" and choosing clothes close to Kong Wu, he will go to Hao Lei to fight for the role of Kong Wu in Group A of "Golden Branch Desire" that Hao Lei is responsible for.
However, "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang" is an interview in the morning, and Group A of "Golden Branches" starts the interview in the afternoon. But Zhu Zixiao doesn't care about this, first go to Hao Lei, who is in charge of the "silent farewell" of "The Long Season". At that time, Hao Lei was reading the script with the actors of "The Long Season", and Zhu Zixiao didn't dare to go in at first, feeling too embarrassed.
Because it took a long time to study, Zhu Zixiao finally entered the door to express his intention to Hao Lei, and said that he had come here, so he would have a class next to him. Although Hao Lei complained that he came in in a costume and looked weird, she still let him listen. After reading the script, Zhu Zixiao also begged Hao Lei to arrange a role for him in "The Long Season". Originally, "The Long Season" wanted a female colleague to play Yin Hong's female colleague played by Li Fei'er, but since Zhu Zixiao requested, Hao Lei changed the female colleague to a male colleague.
Although Zhu Zixiao was very sincere in fighting for Kong Wu, Hao Lei, who was the first to find him, listened to the class for a long time, but Hao Lei did not choose Zhu Zixiao, but Ji Lingchen. This choice Hao Lei was made based on the selected heroine Gao Haining. Hao Lei didn't have time to interview Group A of "Golden Branches" because of the production of "The Long Season", so she directly selected Gao Haining to play Concubine Ru, she felt that Ji Lingchen was a good match with Gao Haining in terms of height, and Ji and Gao had successively played husband and wife in "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" and "Disappearing Her", so Zhu Zixiao, who was not as tall as Ji Lingchen and had never worked with Gao Haining, was also defeated.
In the "Silent Farewell" film and television segment of "The Long Season", Zhu Zixiao plays Yin Hong's male colleague, a gangster-like character who often borrows money from women in the dust. Although there are not many scenes, it is enough to catch a glimpse. It was precisely because of his good performance that Zhu Zixiao got the acting invitation card issued by Li Xingjian, deputy director of the Drama Review Center of the Art Jury of the China Film and Television Association and chairman of Beijing Agni Film Co., Ltd.
Others are also more positive about Zhu Zixiao. For example, Zhou Zhaozhong, general manager of Youku Youxiang Studio, said that although Zhu Zixiao does not play much, it does make people feel much better than before. Wu Zhenyu, who has always been strict, also said that Zhu Zixiao has returned to his duty as an actor, from not being in such a good state before to now being an actor, his performance in "Silent Farewell" is the best feedback that "Infinite Transcendence Class" has given him so far. Bo Li, general manager of Weibo's Taiwan network business, also affirmed that Zhu Zixiao's performance was good.
Li Xingjian said that he was not very optimistic about the "silent farewell", because this clip is two newcomers and two people who have not acted for a long time, but he didn't expect these four people to have a good chemical effect, so they issued invitation cards to all the actors in the group.
This invitation card made Zhu Zixiao very excited, saying that it was the first time he had this, and happily took a photo with his mentor Hao Lei and other actors. And the invitation card given by Li Xingjian and the affirmation of a group of people are also the highest highlight moments since Zhu Zixiao participated in the show.
Looking back on his infinite journey, his improvisation during the interview was very poor, which disappointed Zeng Zhiwei, who was originally interested in him. During the group assessment, although Zhu Zixiao had a good work attitude and took the initiative to pursue better, after all, he had not filmed for several years, and Zeng Zhiwei had to help him pick out many details. When the market was graded, Zhu Zixiao continued to unprofessionally defend his poor improvisation during the interview. When it came to the suspense drama assessment, although the clips in which Zhu Zixiao participated were rated as qualified works, he did not get the role. It wasn't until the "silent farewell" of "The Long Season" that Zhu Zixiao ushered in a wave of affirmation with a small supporting role.
Zhu Zixiao failed to play Kong Wu in Group A of "Golden Branches" as he wished, and there should be a loss, but it is quite comforting to think that he gained so much from a cameo in "The Long Season", and his experience is in line with the saying "Lost East, Harvested Sangyu".
