There are three art academies in China. They are the three mountains that ordinary people who want to become stars cannot avoid!
Film school, Chinese drama, theater!
When Wu Jianye was filming "Eternal Night", he was asked by reporters that he had the fewest theater students. When Wu Jianye was in Shanghai, when he was chatting with the theater professor, he was also asked by the other party. Students who have recommended them.
So this time when Wu Jianye auditioned two students for the show at once, it still caused quite a stir in the show!
In recent years, STA has indeed produced some very good students.
Naturally, Wu Jianye is most familiar with Chen Hong, whom he once worked with. Chen Hong is also the most famous actor in theaters now, and is one of the three most popular actresses in China along with He Qing and Gong Li.
However, unlike Gong Li who only works on Zhang Yimou's films and He Qing who accepts more invitations from domestic film directors, Chen Hong is now cooperating more with directors in Hong Kong.
Yu and Wei, who played both Liu Bei and Cao Cao, were students in Class 92, and even Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger in Class 93. Later, together with another Bingbing, they became known as Hua Xia Shuang Bing, Li Bingbing, known as the best investor in the entertainment industry. Huan, I am also in this class.
At the same time, among the students recruited last year, there was also the heroine I met on Monday, and Bao Jianfeng, who later always played the role of the domineering president, was among them.
If nothing unexpected happens this year, Lu Yi, Lu Yi’s wife Bao Wei, Hu Xi’s first girlfriend Xue Jianing, Luo Haiqiong who played a couple with He Zhi in "The Song of the Song Dynasty" and so on Actors of the series.
Liao Fan, who came to Yanjing today, is actually a member of Class 93, and is classmates with Li Bingbing and Ren Huan.
As for another senior fellow student of Liao Fan, Xu Shanzheng actually graduated last year and is now in a confused stage.
Of course, you can't call him Xu Shanzheng at this time, his body shape is still Xu Zheng!
At the same time, Xu Zheng at this time was not bald, but still had beautiful long hair. Yes, Xu Zheng at this time still had long hair similar to Li Yapeng's hairstyle. When he just graduated, Xu Zheng still had long hair. I got a job as a hair model.
Thinking of Xu Zheng's bald head in later generations, not only makes people lament that the way of heaven is reincarnation, let's see who will be spared!
At this time, Xu Zheng had a slender figure, and he did not have the image of a greasy, fat middle-aged man in later generations.
Coupled with his somewhat cute personality, this also created Xu Zheng's early screen image, such as Zhu Bajie in "Spring Splendid Zhu Bajie" and Li Wei in "Li Wei Becomes an Official". I believe no one could have imagined that Xu Zheng would be able to do this at that time. Later he became one of the male artists with the highest box office in China!
"Let's find a guest house to stay in first. It's best to find a place close to Tangting Culture, so that we won't be late for the audition tomorrow." Xu Zheng smoothed his hair and said.
Liao Fan had no objection. To this day, he could not forget the excitement he felt after receiving a call from Tangting Culture when he was at school two days ago.
Liao Fan never imagined that one day he would be able to audition for a movie directed by Wu Jianye!
"Well! Then senior brother, let's take a taxi there now!" Liao Fan said.
A poor family has a rich life, and the two of them brought a lot of travel expenses with them this time!
But as soon as the two of them walked out of the train station hall, they saw someone holding a sign waiting for them.
"Hello, I am Xu Zheng and he is Liao Fan!" Xu Zheng walked over and said to the person holding up his name.
"Hello, I am Xu Fang from Tangting Culture. I came here specially to pick you up this time. The company has prepared a hotel for you two. You can attend Director Wu's audition early tomorrow morning!" Xu Fang said with a smile.
.
Xu Zheng and Liao Fan looked at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes. They originally planned to find a guest house to spend the night, but they didn't expect that the other party had already arranged it for them.
I have long heard that the great cultural figures have great careers and are very generous to the actors who audition. Now they have truly learned the lesson!
"Thank you, Manager Xu!" Xu Zheng said very well.
Xu Fang said quickly: "It's okay, it's all arranged by the company. You don't need to call me Manager Xu. I'm older than you. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Xu!"
"Brother Xu!"
"Brother Xu!"
Xu Zheng and Liao Fan both called Brother Xu directly.
Then the two of them followed Xu Fang into the car that picked them up. Xu Zheng was very good at talking on the way. He had already become familiar with Xu Fang before they arrived at the hotel. At the same time, they also got a lot of useful information from Xu Fang.
For example, the pretender who auditioned for Liao Fan also had a competing actor who was a student of the Chinese Opera, but the front-runner who auditioned for himself did not. Now he is the only one who knows about it.
This made the two of them happy and worried!
If it were ten years later, Xu Zheng's image would definitely not be suitable for the role of the outpost, but now, with his slender figure, cuteness and a hint of shrewdness, he is very suitable!
In fact, when thinking about filming this movie, Wu Jianye had already thought of Xu Zheng playing this role.
"This is the room for you two. Have a good rest tonight and arrive at Tangting Culture at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Don't be late. Director Wu hates people being late!" Xu Fang warned them after sending them to the hotel.
road.
"Well, thank you, Brother Xu!" Xu Zheng is now very familiar with Xu Fang.
Xu Fang warned again: "If you two want to go out for a walk at night, you must pay attention to safety and don't get hurt. You should know what happened in "Eternal Night" before!"
Xu Fang was naturally talking about Li Yapeng being injured and losing the leading actor in "Eternal Night"!
Xu Zheng smiled and said: "Brother Xu, don't worry, we won't go out tonight. Taking the train is quite tiring, so we just have a good rest today!"
Later, Xu Fang told the two of them his pager number, asking them to page him if they had anything to do, and then left!
After Xu Fang left, Xu Zheng said to Liao Fan, who was a little nervous: "Let's go back to the room."
"Um!"
"Don't worry, I've seen your performance before. As long as it's normal, there will definitely be no problem!" Xu Zheng knew what Liao Fan was worried about.
Liao Fan also forced out a smile and smiled.
...
There was nothing to say all night. On the next day, Xu Zheng and Liao Fan had already arrived at Tangting Culture at 7:30. However, when they arrived at Tangting Culture Building, they realized that they were not auditioning here.
Instead, go to the third floor not far away.
When the two arrived on the third floor, they saw a young man about the same age as Liao Fan waiting there in the conference room!
Waiting here is naturally Duan Yihong. As a student of Chinese Opera, Duan Yihong has heard some things about Tangting culture, so he knows better than Xu Zheng and Liao Fan that the audition should be on the third floor.
When Liao Fan saw Duan Yihong, he just nodded and didn't say anything. Duan Yihong didn't know much yet, but Liao Fan already knew from Xu Fang yesterday that he still had a competitor. Now that he saw Duan Yihong, he naturally
Understand that this young man who is similar to yourself should be the one competing with you!
Because Xu Zheng had no worries in this regard and because of his personality, he actually greeted Duan Yihong.
"Hello, I'm Xu Zheng. I just graduated from Shanghai Drama Theater last year!"
"Hello, my name is Duan Yihong, and I am still studying at China National Theater Academy!"
After a brief mutual introduction, the conference room fell into awkward silence again.
Fortunately, this embarrassment did not last too long. Soon Li Na walked in and said: "Which one of you is Xu Zheng!"
Xu Zheng stood up quickly!
"I am!"
"Well, then come with me!" Li Na glanced at Xu Zheng, turned around and took Xu Zheng to the audition room!
In the audition room, sat Wu Jianye and Zhao Fei, as well as a somewhat tough-looking man, Ding Sheng!
Ding Sheng is the assistant director of "Inception" appointed by Wu Jianye.
I graduated from the Fine Arts Department of the Film Academy last year. If Wu Jianye hadn't appeared, Ding Sheng would have been working in the advertising industry after graduation. He had to wait until 2008 to have the opportunity to direct "Tough Guy" starring Liu Ye.
, and then directed Cheng Long's "Little Soldiers", "Police Story 2013", "Rescue Mr. My Life" and other movies!
But here, after Ding Sheng graduated, he was recruited under the banner of Tangting Culture.
Guan Fu can already direct his own movies, so naturally Wu Jianye will not let Guan Fu be his assistant director anymore. In fact, Wu Jianye does this in the hope that this group of domestic directors can grow up earlier.
Directors of the older generation have gradually failed to keep up with social trends, and directors of Wu Jianye's generation, except Wu Jianye, have not yet found their own directorial direction.
The sixth-generation directors from another time and space are also struggling!
Wu Jianye sat in the middle. To be honest, this was the first time Wu Jianye saw Xu Zheng with long hair, and he was a little uncomfortable with it.
"Your hair is a bit too long!" Wu Jianye said subconsciously.
Xu Zheng touched his hair awkwardly, and then said: "If you need it, Director Wu, I can cut my hair short!"
Wu Jianye nodded and no longer bothered with Xu Zheng's hair.
Xu Zheng's audition was actually very smooth. First of all, Xu Zheng, who has a professional background, still has some skills in acting. Although he is still a little immature, I believe that under the guidance of Wu Jianye, he can still improve.
What Wu Jianye is most satisfied with is Xu Zheng's performance in "I'm Not the God of Medicine" when Huang Mao died.
"Although your performance is still a bit immature, overall, it is still very good. I can tell you now that if you have no personal objections, you can star in this movie. Now you can also go to Li Na's side.
Check to see if you are satisfied with the content of the contract!"
Wu Jianye has decided to use Xu Zheng!
Even in later generations, people like Xu Zheng, who have just stepped out of school and are not debuting as child stars, do not have an agent and have to negotiate all business by themselves, let alone now!
So Xu Zheng walked out of the audition room very excitedly and went to discuss the contract with Li Na.
There are also two contracts, one is the contract to star in "Inception", and the other is the contract to become a contract artist of Tangting Culture. However, if you want to get the contract of "Inception", you must first become a contract artist of Tangting Culture.
!
Some people may think that Wu Jianye did this a bit overbearing, but in fact, it was indeed a bit overbearing.
But in fact, you have to look at both sides of everything!
Now Tangting Culture is the one that produces the most movies among all domestic film producers including studios. This also shows that Tangting Culture needs actors, and it needs a lot of actors.
Therefore, for Tangting Culture, it is necessary for a new blood like Xu Zheng to join. At the same time, participating in Wu Jianye's movie actually means that this person will definitely become famous across the country. Tangting Culture does not need to work for other film companies.
Train actors.
Tangting Culture can lend its own actors, but it is not obligated to help other film companies train actors. These are two concepts.
Even Chen Daohuan was able to serve as the male lead in Wu Jianye's movie after he promised Wu Jianye that he would join Tangting Culture after his contract with the TV Drama Center expired!
Secondly, I have to say that among all the film companies across the country, including studios, no film company can compete with Tangting Culture in terms of contracts.
There is a saying that it all depends on peers to set off, and that’s what it means.
This contract is more about giving the actor a binding force rather than restricting his freedom of filming. First of all, Tangting Culture will not restrict its own actors from accepting scenes from other companies. Secondly, the liquidated damages are actually not that big.
The exaggeration is more within a range acceptable to both parties.
So after Xu Zheng read the contract, he signed his name very happily, just like Mr. Zhou back then!
After Xu Zheng signed the contract, he also received the two-bedroom dormitory allocated to him by Tangting Culture. However, Xu Zheng did not leave immediately, but was waiting for Liao Fan.
After all, the two of them came together, and the New Year was coming soon. Xu Zheng, like Mr. Zhou, had to wait until after the New Year to report.
Liao Fan also walked into the audition room at this time. Wu Jianye was satisfied at first sight when he saw Liao Fan. The appearance matched him very well, but something that made Wu Jianye more tangled also appeared, because Liao Fan's height looked like
Taller than Chen Daoxuan.
"How tall are you?" Wu Jianye asked.
Liao Fan replied: "180!"
There was a hint of disappointment in Wu Jianye's eyes. He was indeed taller than Chen Daoxuan, which was a pity.
Later, after Liao Fan's audition, there was no problem with his performance. What was a pity was his height...
Wu Jianye asked him to go out and wait for the notice, and decided to see Duan Yihong's performance first.
When Duan Yihong walked into the audition room, Wu Jianye was not so entangled, because Duan Yihong's image and height were in line with his requirements.
Then came the audition.
Duan Yihong's audition was also very smooth. Being from a professional background has this advantage. He can grasp the core of the character more quickly than an actor from a wild background!
Now it seems that there is no suspense about who will play the pretender!
