On the morning of September 13, Zhang Ran brought two students to the CCTV Sketch Competition program team and participated in the lottery.

There are more than 830 works from all over the country in this competition, and 30 works were selected through evaluation to enter the finals. The finals were divided into 5 games, with 6 works in each game. The competition was divided into two rounds, namely the work competition and the practice of observing characters. The two rounds of competition were scored on the spot by different judges, of which the work was 98 points, and the practice of observing characters was 2 points, and the total score was 100 points.

At the end of the 5 games, the champion with the highest total score is the champion. After the 5 games, the judges will vote to select five actors, male and female actors, and three rounds of competitions will be held at the awards ceremony to determine the best actor and actress.

CCTV Sketch Competition adopts a live broadcast mode, which is generally only accepted at large evenings, because the performance guests at large evening parties are famous artists and have rich stage experience. The contestants of the Sketch Competition are all professional actors, and most of them have very rich stage experience, and some even appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. Therefore, the Sketch Competition also adopted a live broadcast mode.

At this time, CCTV's building gathered troupes, art troupes, and thirty teams from all over the country, including Lin Yongjian, a familiar old face, and a real newcomer like Wang Siwei and others.

Zhang Ran met Bai Fanping and led the Central Academy of Drama team at the venue. He didn't expect that Bai Fanping would really enter the finals. He felt a little moved. Bai Fanping seemed to be a bit powerful.

"You have actually entered the finals, and the sun is really coming out from the west." Bai Fanping saw Zhang Ran showing a surprised expression and said in a mocking tone.

"Sorry, I've disappointed you!" Zhang Ran smiled, his expression very calm, not affected by Bai Fanping at all.

"No. I'm not disappointed, I'm looking forward to your performance at the bottom." Bai Fanping's words were full of contempt.

"Then we will disappoint you again. We didn't plan to return empty-handed this time. We came for the award!" Zhang Ran smiled faintly, his tone full of confidence.

"This joke is good, I can laugh for a year!" Bai Fanping burst into laughter when he heard Zhang Ran wanting to win the prize, which attracted countless people to look at him.

"Why, don't you believe it?" Zhang Ran was not annoyed and said lightly.

"Of course I don't believe it!" Bai Fanping said firmly.

"Why don't we make a bet? If we carefully win the prize, you will publish a statement in the journal of our Beijing Electronics. There is no need to be too much content. You can just write it like this. Beijing Electronics, our China National Academy of Drama Costume!" Zhang Ran smiled faintly.

The participating teams in the sketch competition are all professional teams, especially the General Political Department and the Air Force. Their works have been performed countless times in grassroots troops, and they can be said to have been tempered and have extremely high standards. So far, they have never won awards in the Central Academy of Drama, let alone Beijing Film Academy. Bai Fanping replied without thinking: "Okay! If you don't win the award, you will issue a statement in the journal of our Central Academy of Drama. Our Beijing Film Academy is here!"

"No problem, things are settled!" Zhang Ran said with a smile.

In terms of performance experience and skills, Zhang Ran and others really cannot compare with various professional theater troupes, but the sketch competition is not about experience and skills, but a comprehensive evaluation of the performance, artistry and viewing of the entire sketch. In terms of the level of the sketch itself, Zhang Ran has absolute confidence.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the lottery officially began, and teams took turns to take the stage to draw lots.

It was Zhang Ran's turn soon. He stepped forward, prayed in his heart in front of the lottery box, then reached in and took out a small ball. When he saw the number, he laughed.

"How many? Teacher Zhang. Which number of games are we in?" Wang Siwei saw Zhang Ran walk back with joy on his face and asked quickly.

"Fifth Game No. 4." Zhang Ran showed his white teeth.

"That's great, great!" Wang Siwei and Gao Hang cheered. They didn't have enough time to rehearse. The fifth game was on the fifth day, and there was more time to rehearse.

On Friday, September 19th, the last game of the fifth TV Sketch Competition is about to begin. Before the hour hand pointed to eight o'clock, many sketches and variety show enthusiasts' TVs were locked on CCTV 3, waiting for the sketch competition to start with anticipation.

In the canteen of Beijing Electric, students from 01, Li Xinyue and Zhou Zheng, and some other students stood in front of the TV and waited for the competition to begin.

A few minutes before the competition began, the students whispered: "It seems that there is no particularly outstanding work in this sketch competition. It's still interesting to see "Sense of Security" now."

"That sketch is interesting. A simple sketch has three levels of content, which is very interesting. But I think it is far worse than the sketch of Teacher Zhang and others." When he said this, Huang Shengyi looked at Li Xinyue and asked, "You are right, Teacher Li!"

Li Xinyue smiled and said, "Sketches are the art of conception. Mediocre works generally rely on condoms to build their plot skeletons, and misunderstandings and clever cooperation are the basic means for them to interpret the story. Most of the sketches this time are like this, which looks clichéd and gives people a sense of familiarity. Your teacher Zhang's sketches are very exquisite in structure, and they come from real stories, with strong shock and emotional impact."

Zhao Ke asked, "Teacher Li, then do you think Teacher Zhang and the others can win the award?"

That sketch embodies Li Xinyue's hard work. She wants to win the award more than anyone else, but it's not easy: "In terms of the work alone, no one can compare to your Teacher Zhang's work so far. The key is performance. The contestants are all professional actors, from various drama troupes, and those who have attended the Spring Festival Gala, such as Lin Yongjian and Zhou Wei. These people have terrifying stage experience, and Teacher Zhang and their rehearsals only last ten days, so it's not easy to win the award!"

Zhang Xinyi was very dissatisfied: "So why are you rich in stage experience? I think they are not as good as Teacher Zhang. Teacher Zhang and the others will definitely win the award!"

Wang Luodan said: "I feel so too!"

Jia Niaoliang interrupted and said, "I think Teacher Zhang and the others will definitely win the first prize!"

Everyone gave him a blank look: "Okay, don't joke at this time!"

In the backstage of CCTV, the first Central Academy of Drama contestants to play were preparing for the stage, and the other contestants put on makeup and were waiting quietly. Some closed their eyes and rested, some were stuffed with headphones, and some were praying secretly. After all, it was a national competition, and everyone felt huge pressure.

It was finally time to enter the finals, and no one wanted to be a passerby, nor did anyone want to leave as a loser. Everyone planned to do everything they could to get the best in order to impress the judges.

Zhang Ran and the others did not feel the pressure, their only feeling was that they were hungry, very, very hungry.

During the rehearsal a few days ago, Zhang Ran discovered a problem. The overall effect of the rehearsal was good, but the characters' state was always a bit wrong, and everyone could not play the state of hunger and cold. In order to truly show this state, Zhang Ran and the other three had no food since last night, and they have been hungry for a whole day.

Gao Hang was holding a box of Oreo and swaying in front of his eyes, his hands almost reaching out. Because he couldn't eat, he could only hold it in his hand, trying to relieve his hunger.

Wang Siwei looked at the biscuits in Gao Hang's hand and swallowed his saliva. He snatched the biscuits from Gao Hang's hand and stuffed them into Gao Hang's bag: "Don't take them out and see them, the more you look, the hungry you get!"

Gao Hang shook his head and said, "In ancient times, Cao Cao looked at plums to quench his thirst, but now Gao Hang looked at biscuits to quench his hunger!"

Wang Siwei gave him a strong look: "Can saliva help digestion, can swallow saliva stop hunger?"

Gao Hang thought about it and couldn't help but sigh. Seeing Zhang Ran sitting on the chair, his eyes closed, like an old monk entering a meditation, he couldn't help but say, "Teacher Zhang, I'm so hungry that I'm almost hungry, aren't you hungry?"

Zhang Ran didn't open his eyes and said lightly: "You think I'm a robot, of course I'm hungry. Everyone hold on for another time. There are still two hours left. When the competition is over, I'll treat you to a big meal!"

At 8 o'clock that night, the bell rang, and the lights in the studio suddenly lit up. Accompanied by a burst of dynamic music, host Dong Qing and Zhu Xun took the microphone and boarded the stage together.

As soon as the two of them took the stage, applause rang like thunder.

"Dear guests, dear friends, audiences on site and in front of the TV, dear judges, contestants, good evening!"

"This is the live broadcast of the final of the 5th TV TV Sketch Competition. Today is the fifth game of the competition, and the last game. Before the competition begins, let us first introduce to you all the judges of this sketch competition! The work judges, Wang Xiaoying, Vice President of the National Theater, and First-class Director; Huang Zhenyu, Vice President of the Performance College of Peking Film Academy..."

There are ten judges of the works, basically all of them are directors, editors of the troupes of the People's Art Theater, as well as experts and professors from the performance departments of Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama. The lineup is very strong. It is a good thing that there are people from Beijing Film Academy among the judges, but it is not necessarily a good thing that this person is Huang Zhenyu. It is very likely to give Zhang Ran a low score with his virtue.

Next is the judges who observe the characters' practice, who are also heavyweights, including big stars such as Wei Zi and Jiang Shan, including Zhang Ran's acquaintance, Huang Lei, a teacher from Beijing Film Academy.

Dong Qing held the microphone and smiled and said, "Friends, today is the last game of our competition. Before we start today's game, let's take a look at the ranking of our various entries after three days of competition. The first place is "Sense of Security" with 97.79 points; the second place is "Female Soldier Wang Yan", 97.53 points, and the third place is..."

After introducing the results of each entries in the first four days, Dong Qing smiled and said, "After today's competition, the total ranking of thirty works will be generated, and our first, second and third prizes will be generated. Friends, the last game of the final of the 5th TV Sketch Competition is about to begin. Two rounds of competition will also be held tonight. According to the results of the pre-match lottery, the first one to appear today is the sketch "Untitled" selected and performed by the Central Academy of Drama. Please!"

As the lights on the stage dimmed, the performance began! (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
