Chapter 846: The Chinese Drama of Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger (4200+ chapters~)
"Have you heard? The heroine of director Wu Jianye's new movie has been decided!"
In just one noon, the news about Wu Jianye's new movie's selection of the heroine has spread, and the first one to reach it was Zhongxi.
Mao Hai ran to the classroom excitedly and reported the incident to his classmates.
This Mao Hai is the Xiao Mao in "The Story of the Cooking Class". After graduation, he entered the Kongzheng Repertory Theater and became an actor.
Mao Hai is a member of Class 92 of the Department of Chinese Opera Performance. At this time, they are only freshman students. After three months, they will be sophomore students.
After hearing the news, Huang Haiqi, who was sitting in the classroom, quickly asked: "Is it true? Who is it?"
Huang Haiqi can be regarded as a popular martial arts youngster in the country at the beginning of the 21st century. Shen Lang with an awkward hairstyle in "A History of the Martial Arts", Qin Shubao in "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", and Zhang Danfeng in "The Shadow".
In these classic TV series, Huang Haitong appeared as the first male lead. At that time, he was vaguely known as the best martial arts boy. Unfortunately, his fate was unlucky. In some TV series, he was even upstaged by supporting roles.
For example, in "The Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties", his performance is actually inferior to Nie Yuan's Luo Cheng.
The silver saddle shines on the white horse!
Speaking of Nie Yuan, he is also an interesting actor. In his early days, he became a well-known niche actor in the domestic film and television industry with a series of classic TV series.
In "The Legend of Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties", he stole Huang Haiqi's limelight.
In "A Chinese Ghost Story", it stole the limelight from the male and female protagonists. When Wu Jianye first watched this TV series, he only remembered the character of the Seven Nights Demon.
Unfortunately, after he failed to compete with Master Huang for the role of Yang Guo in the bearded version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", his popularity began to plummet. It was not until Wu Jianye was reborn that he successfully became famous with the role of Big Pig's Hoof.
Mao Hai sat next to Huang Haiqi, and other students gathered around him.
"It's been confirmed. It's Yu Feihong, who is grade 89 at the Film Academy. I heard that Director Wu directly identified Yu Feihong during the audition and asked her to go to Tangting Culture to sign the contract tomorrow?"
"Really or not?" Huang Haitong asked suspiciously.
"Of course it's true. My friend at the film school called me personally to tell me!" Mao Hai said confidently.
Yu Yuexian on the side said with some envy: "I really envy those students in the film school. Those who are closest to the water are first served. Alas, why don't we have a great director like Director Wu in our school!"
Yu Yuexian looked very young and fashionable in a collared T-shirt and jeans. Looking at her at this time, one would never have imagined that she would play a role like Xie Dajiao in "Country Love" more than ten years later.
Mao Hai chuckled and said, "There is another good news!"
Hearing what Mao Hai said, everyone was stunned and quickly asked: "What's the good news?"
"I heard that Director Wu originally wanted to choose the male lead in the film school, but later he didn't choose a suitable student, so he will come to our school this afternoon to select the male lead!" Mao Hai released a big tip.
"You kid didn't lie?" Huang Haiqiu asked quickly. At this time, Huang Haiqiu was a perfect young man. He was still very confident about his appearance. He was also a famous school girl in the school, except for the juniors.
Except for a certain senior, he didn't think there was anyone more handsome than him.
Mao Hai coughed and said: "Who is lying about this? I'm telling you, if you have ideas, hurry up and prepare. This kind of opportunity is rare!"
When he said this, Mao Hai felt a little bitter in his heart. Although everyone was in the same class, there were some things where it was important to admit that innate advantages were important. For example, in terms of appearance, Mao Hai knew that he was definitely
There is no way to become the leading actor in a movie directed by Wu Jianye!
Yu Yuexian and other female classmates had expressions of disappointment on their faces. Wu Jianye had already selected the female lead in the film school, which meant that they definitely had no chance.
"But doesn't our college have regulations? During the freshman and sophomore years, students are not allowed to go out to take plays?" Yu Yuexian said.
Huang Haitong smoothed his Aaron Kwok hairstyle and said: "That's a play by an ordinary director, and the academy won't let you go out to pick it up. But this is a play directed by Wu Jianye, and the academy must have given it the green light all the way!"
Hearing what Huang Haitong said, everyone agreed.
"Okay, everyone, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to clean up now. I must perform well in a while and try to win this male lead!" Huang Haitong said proudly, then stood up and returned to the dormitory.
Clean yourself up.
Other students who think they have a chance also do the same!
This news, as if it had wings, spread quickly in the Central Theater. Sophomore, junior, and senior male students also began to prepare. Everyone hoped that they would be the lucky one.
.
Wu Jianye arrived as promised, and at around three o'clock in the afternoon, he, Zhao Fei, Guan Fu and others came to the Central Theater.
After all, this is the Chinese Opera, and unlike the Film Academy, it has its own base, so Wu Jianye first went to visit Mr. Liang Bolong, the director of the Performance Department of the Chinese Opera, who had made an appointment long ago.
"Director Wu, welcome!" Teacher Liang Bolong was also very happy when he saw Wu Jianye.
"Teacher Liang, I'm going to trouble you again this time!" Wu Jianye said.
When Wu Jianye came to the Central Theater to select actors, Teacher Liang was also the one who welcomed Wu Jianye. The two are already old acquaintances!
Liang Bolong smiled and said: "No trouble, I have to thank you. The college has given you the green light this time. You can choose any student from freshman to senior!"
Wu Jianye expressed his thanks again.
There is an unknown rule in Chinese opera, that is, freshmen and sophomores are not allowed to go out to take plays. But as Huang Haitong said, there are exceptions to everything, and that is Wu Jianye, Chen Kaige,
There is definitely no problem with a director like Zhang Yimou.
Later, Liang Bolong said that the audition place is ready and can start at any time!
"Then let's not waste time!" Wu Jianye said immediately.
It was already June. He needed to decide on the actors early and let Tan Yang train them. At the same time, he and Zhao Fei had to go to the filming locations!
Liang Bolong took Wu Jianye to the acting classroom of China National Opera.
Just like when he was in the film school before, when Wu Jianye walked in here, he could already see that all the boys from the acting department, from freshmen to seniors, had gathered here.
As for the girls, Yu Feihong has already been selected as the heroine. As for the other female characters in the play, Wu Jianye already has a rough list, so there is no need to audition.
This also made the girls in the drama very disappointed.
When Wu Jianye walked into the classroom, he saw several familiar figures.
Cao Cao and Chen Jianbin in the new version of "Three Kingdoms". At this time, Chen Jianbin has shown his precocious side. In fact, most of the domestic actors are not as good as the actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan!
As one of the most powerful actors in China, Chen Jianbin has continued to produce great works. First, he won the Outstanding Actor Award at the 24th TV Feitian Awards and the Most Favorite Actor Award at the 22nd Golden Eagle Awards for his role in "Ten Years of Marriage".
Later, he won the Golden Eagle Award for Audience's Favorite TV Drama Actor for "Qiao's Courtyard".
Later, he played the role of Yongzheng in "The Legend of Zhen Huan"!
In fact, he was born in the same year as Wu Qilong, who also played Yongzheng in "Step by Step"...
Wang Xuebing, who had an affair with Fan Hao's family.
There are also the late bloomer Huang Zhizhong, Hai Rui in "The Ming Dynasty 1566", and Yang Liren in "The Righteous Path of the World Is Vicissitudes of Life", all of which are his masterpieces.
The quality of actors is no worse than that of film schools.
Huang Haitong in the audience also looked at Wu Jianye on the stage with fiery eyes, imagining that he would be selected by Wu Jianye at a glance in front of everyone and become the leading actor in his new movie. At that time, the classmates
The eyes must be envious!
After Wu Jianye sat down, he didn't say too much nonsense and directly asked Guan Xi to maintain order, and then came up for auditions in order of grade.
The audition process is similar to that in film school.
The first ones to come up were the freshman students, and the first one was Huang Haiqiu.
Huang Haitong's appearance made Wu Jianye's eyes light up. In Wu Jianye's impression, Huang Haitong made his debut in martial arts TV series. It seems that the first TV series was playing Chen Jialuo in "New Book of Swords and Enemies".
Although he thought that he would definitely be chosen, when Huang Haili actually stood in the middle, he couldn't help but become nervous.
This also led to some mistakes in his performance to a certain extent, and Liang Bolong on the side also showed a helpless expression.
Wu Jianye was not very satisfied with Huang Haitong's performance, but after thinking about it, he asked Huang Haitong to put on the costume and try it again!
The costumes have followed Wu Jianye to the Central Theater Company, and Liang Bolong specially set up a classroom specifically for Wu Jianye's audition to allow students to change into costumes.
Several freshmen came to audition one after another, but their performance was not as good as Huang Haitong, so they didn't even have the chance to wear costumes to audition.
It was obvious to see the disappointed expressions on their faces.
But there was nothing Wu Jianye could do about it.
After the freshman audition ended, only Huang Haitong was considered qualified. At this time, Huang Haitong had already changed his costume and was waiting aside.
Seeing Huang Haitong put on the costume, Wu Jianye was quite satisfied. In the next audition, Huang Haitong must have just prepared himself mentally, so his performance will be better than before.
Wu Jianye thought for a moment and drew a question mark after his name.
"Okay, you go down and wait for the news first!" Wu Jianye definitely wants to see more!
Huang Haitong was still a little disappointed when he saw that Wu Jianye didn't confirm him immediately.
When he returned to his seat, the boy beside him who did not participate in the audition comforted him: "It's okay, this is already very good. You are the only one in our grade who participated in the audition with makeup. This shows that Director Wu is still very satisfied with you."
of!"
Huang Haitong nodded and replied without much interest: "Yes, I know."
After saying that, Huang Haitong glanced at where the junior students were. Seeing that the senior was not present, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. As for why he didn't come, Huang Haitong didn't care. The best thing was that he
It would be better if you were never here!
During the sophomore audition, Wu Jianye retained Huang Zhizhong. Although Huang Zhizhong was not as dazzling in appearance as Huang Haitong, in terms of performance, he was far ahead of Huang Haitong and was very calm.
Seeing that Huang Zhizhong was also told to wait for notification, Huang Haitong's eyes showed a trace of nervousness.
After the auditions for the sophomore students are over, it will be time for the junior students.
Chen Jianbin was the first to appear, and Wu Jianye was still very much looking forward to Huang Jianbin. To be honest, if it weren't for Chen Jianbin's precocious appearance, Wu Jianye would have almost decided to cast him as the male lead in this movie.
So sometimes, as an actor, you really have to rely on God for food!
Wu Jianye has never denied that in the profession of actor, appearance plays a big role, but of course it is not an absolute score, otherwise actors like Huang Bo and Zhang Yi would not be able to succeed!
But it is undeniable that a handsome actor will have a wider acting career. As for whether he can grasp the appearance that God rewards him, it depends on him.
In the end, Wu Jianye retained Chen Jianbin. As for whether he can really become the leading actor in the end, it all depends on the performance of other people!
Chen Jianbin, who was left behind, also received a lot of envious looks at this time, and the nervous look in Huang Haitong's eyes became more and more intense!
The next person Chen Jianbin auditioned was Wang Xuebing. At this time, he had not had those scandals, but when Wu Jianye watched his performance, he always felt that he could not connect with the actor in his movie. After thinking about it, he didn't
Wang Xuebing was left behind.
Subsequently, several junior students also came on stage. They were all qualified in terms of performance, but they were all passed on in terms of image!
When the last student's audition was over, Wu Jianye looked around at the students in the classroom and whispered to Liang Bolong next to him: "Teacher Liang, are all the junior students here?"
Liang Bolong also showed a trace of anger on his face at this time, saying: "There is another one, I don't know where this bastard has gone!"
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Then continue!"
There are relatively few senior students, because most of them are working for themselves. Although the management of the Central Theater is relatively strict, it is still relatively loose for seniors who are about to graduate.
But precisely because of this, none of the senior students made Wu Jianye quite satisfied.
By the time the audition was over, only Huang Haiqi, Huang Zhizhong and Chen Jianbin were left!
"Someone will leave your contact information later. After we have a meeting to decide, we will confirm whether we will invite you!" Although Wu Jianye was a little disappointed, he still said with a smile.
Then Wu Jianye, Liang Bolong and others were about to leave. Wu Jianye whispered to Zhao Fei: "It seems that I have to fly to Shanghai!"
Zhao Fei asked: "Going to the theater?"
Wu Jianye nodded. Neither Chen Jianbin nor Wu Jianye were too satisfied. Although they left their contact information, he still wanted to go to the theater to see it.
As soon as a few people walked to the door of the classroom, they were suddenly stopped by a brash boy with long hair parted in the middle like Kenichi Mikami in "Tokyo Love Story".
"Sorry teachers, I just rushed back from outside the school." The other party was still breathing heavily when he spoke.
When Wu Jianye, who was lagging behind, saw him, his eyes lit up.
