Chapter 894 Campus trip
The Great Player of Light and Shadow Chapter 894 Campus Tour
Cheng Yuan is the youngest among the top Chinese-language tutors, but he is not the most popular among college students.
The most popular among college students are Jiang Wen and Li An.
Even though Cheng Yuan is not the most popular one, his campus tour activities are still very popular.
Everywhere I went I was welcomed by teachers and students.
Every event is a hit.
At the offline event, Cheng Yuan was a little bit tongue-tied. He was asked at Pengcheng University: "Do you have any advice for young students who like to make movies?"
Cheng Yu'an couldn't hold it back and swore: "Damn it! If you like making movies, do you need any advice? Just make them if you like. I can't stop you."
“When we were in school, we would shoot commercials without joining the crew, watching them behind others, hoping that the director would let us shoot one or two scenes.
"When I have nothing to do, I just write the script in the dormitory, draw the storyboards, and say who I want to invite to act in this play. If it is performed, it will definitely become a hit.
"Those who really like photography don't need advice, they will come out on their own."
During the promotion of "The Wandering Earth", many programs wanted to be accepted, and many program teams even greeted the crew six months in advance and expressed their willingness to set aside time slots for "The Wandering Earth".
The crew was eager to accept them all, but the creators' capacity was always limited, and in the end there were still many programs that they were unable to participate in.
The campus tour was held on the 14th and came to Hunan University.
It is obvious that the enthusiasm of the locals in Hunan Province, especially Changsha, for celebrities and promotional crews is different from other places.
Due to many reasons, "The Wandering Earth" was not able to make an appointment at the base camp, but the crew invited He Jiong to host the exchange event with teachers and students at Hunan University tonight.
He Jiong is very popular in Changsha. As soon as he appeared on the scene, the students at the scene screamed:
"But today's protagonist is not me. Welcome to our "The Wandering Earth" crew!"
On the campus trip to Changsha Station, in addition to director Cheng Yuan, there were also three people including Li Xian, Li Guangjie and Nini.
Four people came to the stage.
As an entertainment program host, He Jiong quickly heated up the scene and acted as a guide in the middle, guiding the creators to interact with the teachers and students in the audience.
In the meantime, he will also express his own opinions.
He Jiong has been a director himself and communicates very smoothly with the creators.
"I was recording a show a few days ago, and a little girl who was born in 1999 said that she grew up watching my movies," Cheng Yu'an shared an interesting story on the stage, "I thought to myself, I am less than 40, and some people have grown up watching my movies? Still entering?
Are you in the entertainment industry?"
He Jiong said with a smile: "You are good at this. Now I am doing a program to interview young people. I used to ask you how old you are, and now I ask how old your dad is. When he says, oh, I am older than your dad."
"Hahahaha!" The whole audience burst into laughter.
During the entire exchange process, Cheng Yu'an and others also watched an original play compiled by students from the school's drama club.
Cheng Yu'an and He Jiong both spoke highly of the play.
"It's quite interesting." Cheng Yu'an said, "I can see the careful preparation of the students."
Then he was asked about how young actors hone their acting skills and how to get ahead.
Because many university drama clubs also want to perform commercially and hold large-scale performances, but they can hardly sell tickets outside.
Cheng Yu'an thought for a while and decided that he still had no idea: "Actually, you don't need to ask me this question. Your drama club should have already answered it. I believe your instructor has also said this question.
"The answer is that we are unwilling to invest more time and energy in rehearsals and script creation. It's as simple as that. In fact, this problem is serious in stage plays, and even more serious in the film and television industry.
"Our current young people are acting and studying in academies. Their goal is not to act in a good play or to play a good role. What they think is that I want to be popular. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be popular. Everyone wants to be popular.
Because only if you are popular can the audience notice you and your character. However, when your first goal is not to perform well but to become popular, the causal relationship here is reversed."
Cheng Yu'an thought about it again and took the initiative to mention Nini beside him: "Nini was not chosen to perform in "Thirteen Hairpins" because she wanted to be popular, right?"
Nini answered and said with a smile: "I was still a student at that time. When I was selected, I didn't want to do it. I thought at that time, how could I act? Do you know, I trained for two years and filmed for one year
, only after I finished filming did I think it might be good to be an actor.”
Cheng Yu'an returned to the question itself: "Just now this classmate asked young actors how to practice their acting skills and how to get ahead. It's actually very simple. Just keep thinking, studying, and acting.
"Some students may say that since I am not from a major, I can't act well."
Nini followed her up and said, "I'm not from an acting background either."
"Mr. Zhou is not from a major," Cheng Yu'an continued.
"Some students say again, I have artistic ideals, and I want to make whatever movies I want." It has to be said that Cheng Yu'an knows what young actors are thinking now, "But young actors don't have so many choices. Sometimes
You have to act in bad movies."
It's a bit inappropriate to say this from Cheng Yu'an's mouth, but it's the truth.
"Because if you don't act, you can't even get bad movies. Many of our good actors now have acted in bad movies."
In fact, Cheng Yu'an has always opposed those "artists" who teach young actors to "cherish their feathers and avoid acting in bad movies."
[To tell you the truth, I have been using the Changing Source app recently to read and catch up on updates. Changing sources allows me to read aloud with more sounds.
How can a young actor not have so many choices? It is his turn to choose the script and the crew.
Cheng Yuan's words were unpleasant, but they were also shocking and won applause from teachers and students.
"Look, I told you before." The instructor of the drama club said to her members, "You won't believe it until he says it."
After the school activities were over, Cheng Yuan and others declined the school's banquet.
Back at the hotel, He Jiong was the host and entertained the crew.
"Teacher Cheng, what you just said was too disturbing." He Jiong said.
We all know the truth, but He Jiong doesn’t know how to explain it.
"There's nothing that can hurt people," Cheng Yu'an said while eating. "They will know it sooner or later when they enter this industry. Gong Li also has "The Golden Armor"."
There was plenty of wine and food, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves.
At the same time, after a week of warm-up, the Golden Horse Awards officials finally unveiled the "mysterious guest, the pride of the Chinese people" that night and announced:
"Cheng Yu'an, the best director at the Oscars and the best director at the Golden Horse Awards, will attend the Golden Horse Awards on the evening of the 17th and serve as the presenter of the 'Best Director Award'."
In the official announcement poster, Cheng Yuan's personal honors were officially listed in detail.
Forget about a few grand prizes, there are countless top prizes that are also placed on Cheng Yuan's personal poster.
Anyway, the full honors look quite intimidating.
Cheng Yuan is the last announced guest of honor for the Golden Horse Awards.
The addition of Cheng Yu'an has made this year's Golden Horse Awards even more popular.
At this point, three directors who have won Oscars in the Chinese film industry: Li An, Cheng Yu'an and Zhang Yimou will all appear at the Golden Horse Awards ceremony.
This is an unprecedented event.
This makes the Golden Rooster Awards a bit unpalatable. They originally wanted to invite Zhang Yimou and Cheng Yu'an to the Mainland Oscars event next year, but they didn't expect to be blocked by Li An.
Chapter completed!
