Chapter 828: Go to Renyi to select actors (4100+ chapters~)
North section of Wangfujing Street, Capital Theater!
This is a performance venue for people's art. It was built in 1954 and officially became a dedicated performance venue belonging to the Yanjing People's Art Theater in 1956.
The theater has a construction area of 15,000 square meters and an area of nearly 5,000 square meters. It integrates performances, rehearsals and theater offices.
The auditorium and lounge of the theater are classically luxurious and magnificent, and are decorated with lights of various shapes to create a comfortable environment. It is one of the largest and best-equipped drama performance theaters in the country.
At this time, Wu Jianye was sitting in the first row, and sitting next to him was Zhu Hao. The two of them came here specially to watch the people's art performance today.
Today's People's Art show is "Birdman"!
Starring in this drama is Lin Liankun, a famous actor from Renyi. Also participating in this drama are Liang Guanhua from "The Happy Life of Zhang Damin" and "The Legend of Dee Renjie".
Among them are also new actors from the current Renyi, Pu Tongxi, He Tong, Xu Piao and others.
Renyi can now be regarded as the highest performance hall in China. Only the best students who graduated from the Chinese Opera will come here.
But it must be said that the salary in Renyi is really not high.
The performance on the stage was performed in one go and was very perfect. Wu Jianye sat in the audience and watched their performance, and he also admired it very much.
Zhu Xian next to him didn't say anything. For people like them who are engaged in this industry, they always have a respectful attitude toward humanistic performances.
Drama is different from movies and TV. Movies and TV can be successful if they fail to do one thing, but on the stage of a drama, such a thing cannot happen, because it means that the whole drama will collapse.
This is the alchemy stone of whether an actor is qualified or not!
After the whole performance, you can see from the applause of the audience that the performance of the drama "Birdman" is very successful. In fact, this is also a very classic play on the People's Art Stage, and it has been won by People's Art many times.
Come out and perform.
As "Birdman" ended, the audience stood up and applauded.
Wu Jianye and Zhu Xian also stood up and applauded like the ordinary audience.
However, unlike ordinary audiences, these audiences left the theater after the performance, and Wu Jianye took Zhu Xie to the backstage of the theater.
The backstage of the theater is divided into two places: a dressing room and a rest room. There is no so-called separate dressing room here. Several actors share a dressing room.
When Wu Jianye came to the first dressing room, he saw teacher Lin Liankun removing makeup alone, as did Liang Guanhua, Han Xuxu and others next to him.
"Mr. Lin!" Wu Jianye smiled and walked over to say hello.
"Hey, Director Wu!" Mr. Lin also smiled after seeing Wu Jianye. Although he and Wu Jianye met for the first time, it doesn't mean that Mr. Lin doesn't know Wu Jianye. "I just saw him in the audience.
I saw you, why do you have time to come to our Renyi today!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "I also heard that our People's Art Theater has a new show today. Didn't I come here to learn from it?"
"Birdman" is performed for the first time today. The director is Mr. Lin Chaohua, a great director of humanities arts, and the screenwriter is Mr. Guo Shixing.
Mr. Lin smiled and said: "I'm afraid you didn't just come to watch our performance. I want to be happy for the young actors in our troupe!"
It is already mid-March, and in more than a month, the biggest news in the domestic literary and art circles is that Wu Jianye's new movie has entered the formal preparation stage.
(The premiere of Renyi's "Birdman" was released on March 31, 1993, but for the sake of plot service, it was moved to mid-March. I hope you understand!)
At the premiere of "The World of Chu Xing", Wu Jianye selected Chen Wei, Chen Daoxuan and Jiang Kui to participate in his new movie. As of now, there is no news about other actors being selected, especially for movies.
starring.
Although no one knows what story Wu Jianye's new movie is about yet, but does it matter?
As long as you know that the director is Wu Jianye, and another thing is that according to the news from the CCTV interview, Wu Jianye's new movie will require an investment of 100 million!
What was the concept of 100 million in 1993!
Everyone understands the importance of this movie very well.
It is precisely because of this that many actors now want to contact Wu Jianye through various means, hoping to participate in this movie.
Even if you're not the lead actor, it's okay.
Everyone understands that Wu Jianye's new movie is definitely an epoch-making movie in China, and may even change the film landscape in China.
Now Wu Jianye came to Renyi specially. In the eyes of many people, he definitely did not come to Renyi specifically to watch a play.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "I can't thank you enough. I just took a look. Don't end it. I can't find a suitable actor in our entertainment industry. It's time for these people to scold me!"
"Haha, let me see who dares. If they are not selected, it only means that their image is not suitable!" Mr. Lin laughed.
He didn't say that the acting skills of Renyi actors were not enough, but that their images were inappropriate. This was Mr. Lin's confidence in his Renyi actors.
In fact, it is true that none of these actors in Renyi are given free money.
Liang Guanhua joked from the side: "Director Wu, I won't recommend myself to you. I know that my image is definitely not up to standard!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "How are you thinking about it? Tangting Culture has invited you several times. When will you be free?"
Liang Guanhua is only 29 years old now, several years younger than Wu Jianye, but now his belly has grown.
As for the invitation mentioned by Wu Jianye, in fact, the writing team of Tangting Culture had already begun preparations for the TV series "Detective Di Renjie" after receiving Wu Jianye's order.
"Detective Detective Di Renjie" is one of the longest-running TV series in China. Before Wu Jianye's rebirth, a total of 212 episodes were broadcast. However, in Wu Jianye's opinion, this is still a bit short.
He is planning to make this series one of the longest-running TV series in China. He invites Liang Guanhua now because he hopes that he can start it from Dee Renjie's youth.
Within the TV series genre, there is one TV subject that is very suitable for making a long-lived TV series, and that is detective dramas.
Domestic "The Legend of Dee Renjie" and "Six Serious Cases" are typical examples of this. TVB in Xiangjiang also has series such as "Criminal Investigation Files" and "Sister Tuoqiang", and Wanwan TVB has the "Bao Qingtian" series.
In Wu Jianye's opinion, although Liang Guanhua is not the most handsome person who plays Dee Renjie, he is definitely the most suitable to play Dee Renjie. In fact, there has been a TV series about Dee Renjie in China before, namely "Detective Detective Dee" starring Mr. Sun Chengzheng
"Legend" series.
This series is also a long-lived TV series. In 1986, the first one was released with 24 episodes. You must know that at that time, there were very few long-form TV series in China. Most of them only had a dozen or so episodes. They were definitely not watery.
suspicion.
Later, this series released the second and third parts in 1996 and 2001 respectively. The total number of episodes in the three parts is 64!
Tangting Culture is preparing to produce "The Legend of Detective Dee" and it will definitely compete with "The Legend of Detective Dee". However, "The Legend of Detective Dee" will be broadcast on Jinyang TV. At this time, unlike later satellite TVs, even if it is a competition, it will not
has too great an impact.
Liang Guanhua said with a smile: "There is nothing we can do about it. The troupe has been rehearsing for the current production of "Birdman", and this performance will take more than a month."
Wu Jianye asked Mr. Lin: "Mr. Lin, when will the troupe prepare to perform?"
Mr. Lin smiled and said: "It should end in early May!"
Wu Jianye nodded and said to Liang Guanhua: "That's OK, but we have agreed that after the Renyi performance is over, you have to go to Tangting Culture to report!"
Liang Guanhua said happily: "Director Wu, you have come here in person, how can I still say no?"
Wu Jianye laughed, chatted with them for a few more words, and then went to another dressing room.
The makeup removers here include Pu Tongxi, He Tong and others.
And the purpose of Wu Jianye's visit this time is actually He Tong!
He Tong can definitely be called an actor in China. Needless to say, the TV series "Love in the Courtyard" and "Sesame Alley" etc. Wu Jianye once watched the movie "Twelve Citizens" starring him and his acting skills are absolutely outstanding.
Outstanding performance.
The actress has her own dressing room, so Xu Piao was not in this room.
"Director Wu!"
Pu Tongxi, He Tong and others also stood up one after another when they saw Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye smiled and waved his hands, saying: "You take off your makeup first, don't worry about me!"
Pu Tongxi is a veteran actor in Renyi, and she is three years older than Wu Jianye!
The makeup was removed quickly. When Wu Jianye came over, it was almost done. By this time, three times five times divided by two was already over.
"Director Wu, it seems that you are really paying attention to the new movie this time. You even went to Renyi to arrest people in person!" Pu Tongxi joked with Wu Jianye.
Although the two have never collaborated before, this is not the first time they have met, and they can be considered relatively familiar.
Later, when Wu Jianye was reborn, due to market reasons, Pu Tongxi rarely appeared in front of the screen, and more often she performed on the drama stage.
But every time he appears, he can surprise the audience.
In "The Favorite" directed by Gu Changwei, he perfectly crushed Aaron Kwok's performance, which is unforgettable.
"They say I'm here to select actors, and it's you who spread the rumor!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Pu Tongxi smiled and said: "You, stop pretending. Who doesn't know that you are busy choosing actors for your movies every day? If it weren't for choosing actors, you, a busy person, would be able to come to Renyi!"
Wu Jianye said: "It seems that if I don't select an actor from Renyi today, you will be dissatisfied!"
After speaking, in a joking tone, he said to He Ting who was still taking off his makeup: "He Ting, how are you? Everyone has said so. I think your performance just now was quite good. Although it was only a supporting role, it was also
You have performed your own style. After the performance of "Birdman" is over, come follow me!"
He Tong stood up quickly and said, "Really?"
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "Fake!"
He Tong showed a disappointed expression. Looking at He Tong's expression, Zhu Hao laughed beside him.
Pu Tongxi said angrily from the side: "Silly boy, a director as big as Director Wu, if it's not true, can I make a joke for you? Why don't you thank Director Wu quickly?"
He Tong then smiled again and said hurriedly: "Thank you, Director Wu!"
Wu Jianye waved his hand and said: "Don't thank me too quickly. You are definitely not the protagonist of this movie, but you will have a lot of roles, and you will have to undergo at least 3 to 6 months of action training. If you can do it,
, then thank me again!”
He Ting said: "Director Wu, don't worry, as an actor, you have to serve the role. I'm sure there will be no problem!"
As mentioned before, Wu Jianye's new movie is an epoch-making movie in China. Not to mention the main actor, even a small cameo role, there will definitely be many people who want to participate, even if it is a small guest role.
The tree is no exception.
At this time, Xu Miao also came over to the women's dressing room and specially greeted Wu Jianye.
Previously, Xu Miao went to audition for the crew of "The Legend of the White Snake". Although he was unsuccessful, he later participated in "The Big Sabbath" invested by Tangting Culture. He still knew Wu Jianye, but he was not very familiar with her.
"Director Wu, Sister Xie!" Xu Miao said politely.
Wu Jianye and Zhu Jian nodded together, Wu Jianye smiled and said: "I have watched the previous "Big Saba", and the acting in it was very good, much better than your previous audition!"
Xu Zhizhi said calmly: "I think so too!"
Wu Jianye: "......"
I had long heard that Xu was straight, but I didn't expect it to be so straight.
Zhu Xian, who was on the side, laughed again and said, "I heard Feng Pengtong talk about you two days ago!"
Xu Miao was stunned for a moment, then showed a somewhat complicated expression on his face, "He is not a good person!"
Zhu Jiaxiao asked: "Why, did he bully you?"
In fact, Feng Pengtong and Xu Miao were not together at this time, and they only met once.
However, both times, Feng Pants left a bad impression on Xu Piao. The first time was in the screening room of Yan Film Studio. The sample film of "Big Sabbath" starring Ge You and Xu Piao was shown.
At that time, Xia Gang asked Feng Pants: How was the movie?
Feng Pengtong said: Everything is pretty good, but the heroine is a bit lacking.
At that time, Xu Jiao was sitting behind them.
The second time was during the downtime meal of the crew of "The Big Show". At that time, Ge You dragged Feng Pants to find Xu Piao. This time, it was not Xu Piao who introduced Feng Pants to Xu Piao, but a friend of the two who asked them to
Introduce your girlfriend.
Ge You thought of Xu Miao.
Ge You first boasted about his friend in front of Xu Piao, and then Feng Pengtong continued to brag: This person is my comrade-in-arms, he has a good character, and his family owns a small building. Although he is a son of a high-ranking cadre, he is easy-going.
He is reasonable and his income from painting is also very generous.
Xu Miao's answer was: You have to know how to fall in love yourself, others can't do it for you. Thank you for your kindness, and don't worry about it in the future.
These were the two previous meetings between the two, which definitely made Xu Miao not have a good impression of Feng Pants.
However, Feng Pengtai already had a good impression. However, although Feng Pongtang is a good talker, he has not yet developed his shame when facing girls.
So although I was thinking about it, I never took any action. When I went to the Siheyuan before, I just said it casually, and Zhu Hao definitely remembered it in his heart!
