Chapter 395: Determine the heroine (4000+ chapters~)
"Director Yang!"
Just after watching today's actresses, Wu Jianye saw director Yang Jie and the entire "Journey to the West" behind the scenes at Tangting Culture.
Seeing how happy they were, it was obvious that the filming of "Journey to the West" should have ended.
"Director Wu, I've been hearing about you lately!" Yang Jie also smiled after seeing Wu Jianye.
"Hey, there's nothing we can do about it. Why are we back now? Didn't we say that the filming won't officially end until October?" Wu Jianye asked.
With the investment from Tangting Culture, Yang Jie no longer has to worry about the funds for the crew of "Journey to the West" and is naturally busy filming. Some time ago, she called and said that the filming will not be completed until October. Now she has just
Entering August, the filming has already ended.
"Forget it, let's go to the office and talk!" After Wu Jianye said that, he took Yang Jie back to his office.
Others from the "Journey to the West" crew went directly into the special effects room and started working on the special effects for "Journey to the West."
Xia Xiaohong brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of Yang Jie. Yang Jie smiled and said thank you.
"Being able to end the filming so smoothly is due to Director Wu's support. If it weren't for your company's financial and technical support, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to complete the filming so quickly." Yang Jie looked very excited.
Ever since she took over the filming of "Journey to the West", she has been living a tight life, thinking every day about how to make more money at CCTV, and later she was about to die prematurely. Fortunately, Wu Jianye appeared at that time,
New funds were injected into the "Journey to the West" crew, and a professional behind-the-scenes team was mobilized from Xiangjiang to help with the filming. This allowed the "Journey to the West" crew to continue filming smoothly.
"Haha, just finish filming. How long will it take to do the post-production?" Wu Jianye asked.
"It probably won't be over until early next year!" Yang Jie counted the time and said.
"Okay then, I'll leave the company's special effects room to you." Wu Jianye didn't say anything.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more words. When Yang Jie heard that Wu Jianye had not chosen a suitable actress yet, she asked curiously.
"Director Wu, what kind of heroine are you looking for?"
Wu Jianye replied: "A girl who is gentle and sassy at the same time. This character should have a gentle and forbearing feeling when dealing with the relationship between men and women, but her overall style is that of a knight-errant."
Mo Yan's relationship with Zhou Huaian is the most classical kind of love. She is willing to give up everything for this man, put on men's clothes, look heroic, and fight alone in several Dongchang stalls in the desert. But when she learns that Zhou Huaian is going to marry Jin
When Xiangyu got married, the pain reflected the little woman's dedication to love. What impressed Wu Jianye the most was the way Mo Yan and Zhou Huaian showed up as a little daughter when they first met at the Longmen Inn.
.
Another one is the helplessness and pain when Zhou Huaian and Jin Xiangyu had a fake marriage.
Yang Jie thought for a moment and said: "I am reminded of an actress who is so gentle and delicate, but I don't know if she can show the kind of sassiness you mentioned!"
"Which actor?" Wu Jianye asked quickly.
"He Qing, she actually also participated in "Journey to the West". In the episode "Three Difficulties on the Road", she played the role of Ling Lian in the transformation of Lingji Bodhisattva."
"He Qing!"
Naturally, Wu Jianye knew about this actress. This actress was the first actress in China to have acted in all four famous works.
"Yeah, it's a coincidence. Xiao Zhang and I were taking the train back to the set, and I saw her on the train. I was attracted by her at first sight, and later she starred in "Journey to the West." Director Yang Jie laughed.
road.
Wu Jianye thought for a moment and asked, "Where is she now?"
Director Yang Jie recalled it and said: "She is an actress from Zhejiang Kun Opera Troupe."
Wu Jianye thought, if he were an actor from the Kunqu Opera Troupe, he would probably be able to complete the action scenes better.
"Director Yang, thank you. Do you have the phone number of the Zhejiang Kun Opera Troupe?"
"have."
.......
"Qingqing, why are you still in the troupe? Didn't I ask you to sign up for Director Wu's new movie "New Dragon Gate Inn"?"
Within the Kunqu Opera Troupe of Zhejiang Province, a member named Zhao Ying was complaining about He Qing.
"Sister Zhao, an actor as big as Director Wu must be looking for great actors. If you can't get someone like me, you won't go!" He Qing continued to work hard after returning from the crew of "Journey to the West"
I am staying at the Kunqu Opera Troupe and practicing basic skills at this time.
"You kid, why are you so unimproved? If Director Wu hired those great actors, would he still make announcements? Those great actors must be inappropriate. You are so beautiful, so there must be no problem!" Then Zhao
Ying complained sadly: "Hey, I'm just too old, otherwise I have to go over and give it a try!"
Although He Qing is only wearing simple training clothes now, she still can't hide her natural beauty, especially her gentle and classical temperament, which has made her go from an alternate actress to a leading actress in the Kunqu Opera Troupe.
He Qing smiled elegantly and said nothing. She naturally knew what it meant to star in Wu Jianye's movie. However, in He Qing's opinion, the movie directed by Wu Jianye must be a star-studded one. She is a member of the Kunqu Opera Troupe.
Maybe it's okay, but compared with those famous actresses, it's still a lot worse.
So after thinking about it for a while, He Qing didn't sign up.
Zhao Ying, on the other hand, continued to say that He Qing was not up to par. What was he thinking if he didn't try such a beautiful embryo?
At this time, someone suddenly shouted in the yard, "He Qing's phone number!"
He Qing handed the prop red tassel gun to Zhao Ying and said with a smile: "Sister Zhao, I'm going to take a call!"
A few minutes later, Zhao Ying saw He Qing walking over in a daze.
He quickly asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
"Director Wu called and asked me to go to Yanjing for an audition?" He Qing said blankly.
Zhao Ying was also a little confused by the sudden call, but then she laughed: "Okay, you girl, it turns out that you have known Director Wu for a long time without telling us?"
He Qing still has great respect for Zhao Ying. When he first came to the group, he was young and was taken care of by Zhao Ying. When his father passed away from a cerebral hemorrhage, He Qing was still filming "Shaolin Lay Disciples". Things at home
Zhao Ying helped take care of it a lot.
So he quickly explained to Zhao Ying: "Director Wu and I don't know each other!"
When Zhao Ying heard that He Qing didn't know Wu Jianye, she asked curiously: "Director Wu doesn't know you, why would he call you and ask you to come over for the audition?"
He Qing shook his head and said, "I don't know either, sister. I'll report this to the group first, and then I have to go home and tell my mother."
"Yes, yes, this is a good thing, hurry up and report it to the group!" Sister Zhao said quickly.
When the Kunqu Opera Troupe heard that He Qing had been invited by Wu Jianye, they still didn't want to let him go. After all, He Qing is now the leading actress in the troupe. If He Qing goes to film Wu Jianye's movie, it will definitely affect the troupe.
task.
"Qingqing, look, Director Wu is a world-renowned director. His movies must have many famous actresses auditioning for them. You have seen the situation in the troupe now. If you leave, there will be many acting tasks in the troupe.
There is no way to proceed, should we think about it again?”
The meaning of the group is very clear. You may not be able to choose He Qing if you go there, but it will be different if you stay in our group. You are the leading actress in the group, why should you compete with those famous actresses Wu Jian
As for the movie at night, I don’t have much hope.
He Qing really thought that he could not compete with those well-known actresses before, so he did not sign up, but it is different now. Now Wu Jianye called her personally, hoping that she would come to audition, so the meaning was different.
In this era, there are really not many actors who can refuse Wu Jianye's movie invitation. If given the opportunity, He Qing would naturally hope to star in Wu Jianye's movie.
"Captain, I'm just going to try. It won't take long!"
The leader of the Kun Opera Troupe persuaded him a few more times, and finally saw He Qing standing there without speaking, but his meaning was already very clear, and he just wanted to give it a try.
In the end, the group leader had no choice but to agree to He Qing's request, but still told her to leave early and come back early.
After leaving the Kunqu Opera Troupe, He Qing returned home and talked about this matter with her mother. Since her father passed away from a cerebral hemorrhage, He Qing and her mother have been dependent on each other.
After hearing this, He Qing's mother Wu Xianyu smiled and said: "Director Wu is a great director. He will call you personally. Just go and try it. You don't have to worry about your family!"
He Qing nodded slightly: "Well, Mom, I will leave early and come back early!"
.......
Two days later, Wu Jianye met He Qing at Tangting Culture!
Although he had seen many photos of He Qing when he was young in his previous life, Wu Jianye still gave Wu Jianye an amazing feeling when he saw He Qing in person.
Especially He Qing's eyes are very charming and unforgettable.
After He Qing came to Tangting Culture and met Director Yang, he realized why Wu Jianye found him. It turned out to be Director Yang's recommendation.
"Director Wu, Director Yang!"
Wu Jianye looked at He Qing, who was slightly nervous, and said comfortingly: "Don't be nervous, let's just have a simple chat."
He Qing calmed down his mood and nodded: "Yes."
Originally, He Qing thought that Wu Jianye might talk to him about some movie things, such as performances, expressions, etc. For this reason, He Qing even tried to figure out Wu Jianye's previous two movies on the way here.
Performances of Chinese female characters.
What surprised He Qing was that Wu Jianye simply chatted with him about ordinary daily life.
For example, her hobbies and lifestyle, etc. In the middle, He Qing even performed a Kunqu Opera performance.
Wu Jianye actually did this for a reason. To see whether an actor is suitable for a role, you must first look at the compatibility between the actor and the role. Of course, those actors at the palace level can combine their own characteristics very well.
Completely erased from the performance, leaving only the character itself.
But compared to an actor like He Qing who is not a professional, doing this will only magnify He Qing's shortcomings infinitely.
Of course, in the end, Wu Jianye still asked He Qing to say Mo Yan's lines in "New Dragon Gate Inn". It was at this time that He Qing's shortcomings were exposed. His line skills were different from those of the previous Wu Jianye.
Compared with the actors who I am more satisfied with, it is still a bit worse.
But after He Qing put on Mo Yan's costume, Wu Jianye's eyes lit up.
In the original time and space, the roles played by He Qing were eventful, gentle and classical roles, such as Xiao Qiao in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Qin Keqing in the film version of "A Dream of Red Mansions", and Li Shishi in "Water Margin".
But when He Qing put on Mo Yan's costume and held a long sword in his hand, it gave people a different feeling, just like the heroic spirit in Mo Yan's gentleness.
Especially since she has a background in Kunqu Opera and still has some skills, she is even more suitable.
"Okay, that's it for today. If nothing unexpected happens to He Qing, I hope you will save time for the rest of this year and the first half of next year!"
Wu Jianye has decided to cast He Qinglai as Mo Yan!
Although He Qing is slightly younger, just 24 years old this year, he is exactly the same age as Zhang Manyu, who plays the role of Jin Xiangyu. After putting on makeup, people can ignore the age difference.
He Qing was a little stunned. He didn't expect that she would actually become the heroine of the new drama directed by Wu Jianye.
He glanced blankly at Yang Jie next to Wu Jianye.
"Silly girl, why don't you thank Director Wu quickly!" Yang Jie also smiled happily.
Director Yang still likes He Qing very much, otherwise he would not have let her participate in "Journey to the West" just because of a chance meeting on the train.
"Thank you, Director Wu!" He Qing said quickly.
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Don't be too busy thanking me right now. A dedicated martial arts teacher will come over to teach you how to shoot some action scenes in a while. It will be very difficult then!"
He Qing: "I'm not afraid of hardship!"
"haha, okay."
Then He Qing said with some embarrassment: "Director Wu, I want to go home and talk to my mother first."
Wu Jianye: "This is natural."
Soon the news that He Qing will star as the female lead in Wu Jianye's new drama "New Dragon Inn" spread across the country. He Qing, who was previously unknown in the domestic film industry, also entered major movies at this time.
Through the eyes of studios and directors.
Everyone wants to know who this lucky guy is.
After He Qing returned to Zhejiang Province, the Kun Opera Troupe naturally knew about He Qing's selection. This made the Kun Opera Troupe very conflicted. He Qing had made great achievements, but the Kun Opera Troupe was about to lose it.
What a good actor.
Unfortunately, this is no longer the time in the early 1980s, when work units had absolute control over an actor.
However, with the current development of reform and opening up, groups such as the Kun Opera Troupe have lost their former charm. The actors in the troupe have long begun to perform in a different way, and the troupe's control over the actors is naturally not as strong.
In the end, the Kunqu Opera Troupe had no choice but to accept this reality.
At this time, Wu Jianye was about to leave for Xiangjiang. As for the explanation, he naturally invited actors and action directors from Xiangjiang...
