(China Daily) Recently, Mango TV debuted its new reality show On The Rise, which follows the journey of 10 novice actors and actresses as they embark on a 40-day intensive training program focused on honing their craft.
The show delves into the growth and transformation of inexperienced young individuals as they immerse themselves in the world of performing arts.
Guiding these budding talents are veteran actress Qin Hailu and actor Zhou Yiwei, who serve as mentors throughout the program. The participants, mostly university students, are paired off to collaborate on performances, fostering teamwork and synergy.
"Acting is a mystical art. It's not a formula but a skill that requires extensive cultivation. Only when one's abilities mature can they truly grasp the essence of this craft," remarked Qin.
Zhou expressed his aspiration to shed light on the authentic realities of the acting profession through the show, saying, "From the moment we are born, we are all actors, each naturally suited to certain roles. However, a professional actor must strive to embody a character convincingly, irrespective of its suitability. I believe that over these 40 days, we have achieved this goal."
Highlighting the importance of accountability in an actor's role, Zhou added, "As actors, we bear a responsibility to respect our audience. We must genuinely connect with viewers. I hope these students can excel in this profession and uphold the trust of their audience."
