Anjasmara and Asri Welas Descend from the Mountain, Create New Stars in 'The Next Star Bootcamp'

Anjasmara, who has been around in the acting world, admitted to being impressed by the potential shown by the participants in this second season. He observed an interesting demographic shift compared to the previous year.

"Alhamdulillah many participants have extraordinary potential. If previously there were many children, this time there are more teenagers to adults," said Anjasmara.

Meanwhile, Asri Welas, known for her dedication in acting, has been entrusted to guide the participants in body movement and expression material. According to her, this is the most important foundation for an actor.

"I become a teacher where in the acting world we express ourselves a lot. What are the expressions? Like body language, and also our expression in feeling or delivering the script into the film," explained Asri Welas.

This 46-year-old actress emphasizes that an actor must be able to channel feelings and body language to convey various emotions, ranging from joy, disappointment, to sadness, so that the story can be well received by the audience.

Unlike just a theory class, this bootcamp also provides valuable experience for the participants. They are invited to directly experience the process of professional shooting on location. "On the last day, we directly practice what it feels like to shoot," added Anjasmara.

As a senior, Anjasmara also does not forget to give important advice to his juniors who want to pursue a career in this industry. He reminds them not to become complacent too quickly and to always maintain professionalism. "Keep learning, stay professional. And don’t show off too much, don’t feel like you’re great just because you’re rising in popularity. Stay low profile," he wisely advises.

This program is expected to not only be a training session but also a bridge for new talents to shine. This was emphasized by Charles Huang, the founder of Warna Ide Creative & Entertainment. "The Next Star Bootcamp is not just a training, but also a platform for talent scouting to produce a new generation ready to shine in the entertainment world," concluded Charles Huang.
