[Last night there was a storm, and the fallen flowers were emaciated. It was a bit cool in autumn, and longing came to my heart - lovesickness]
This time, Ye Ming became completely popular. Originally, Red Mansion attracted a lot of attention. Actors were selected nationwide. This was an unprecedented first time in the history of Chinese TV dramas. Moreover, he used the identity of Jia Baoyu's actor.
I stepped on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and sang such an antique, lingering and melancholy song. The artistic conception is also very consistent with the style of Dream of Red Mansions.
Sitting in the audience, Director Dai is also the biggest supporter of the Dream of Red Mansions crew and the leader who made the final decision to start filming this TV series.
He read Ye Ming's interview and said: "Xiao Huang, this boy named Ye Ming is also a thief. I put a big hat on him. I wrote Chinese style on the basis of China's five thousand years of civilization."
If anyone dares to attack his popular songs from now on, they will not gain any moral benefit.
But this is fine, popular songs, what are popular songs, what are elegant songs, what the common people like are good songs. In this regard, in the future, our Spring Festival Gala will still strengthen the promotion of programs that the common people like."
The biggest benefit of these words from the leader is that finally no one says that Ye Ming is not suitable to play Dream of Red Mansions. In fact, Ye Ming appeared on the Spring Festival Gala as Jia Baoyu, which is the greatest affirmation for him, and the leader
The affirmation also suppressed the final objection.
And Ye Ming also became famous overnight, truly became famous overnight.
Reporters began to want to interview him, and the Red Mansion crew also received a lot of interview calls, and they knew that he was a staff member of the Red Mansion crew. Many admirers, who were not called fans at that time, were called admirers, and they all called Ye Ming.
I wrote a letter to the crew. Director Wang was also very happy.
On the first day of work after the new year, I specially called everyone to a meeting and said: "I want to talk about two things today. One is that there are not enough actors. The actors I need are not enough. Everyone needs to make persistent efforts to strive for the last people to stay in the study class.
We need to have more than a hundred people. Only then will we have room to choose. So, if there are not enough people, we have to keep looking. Lao Zhang and Xiao Wang, you and your people will keep looking."
This can be regarded as a work arrangement. Director Wang has made arrangements for who takes people where. And Ye Ming also has arrangements for where he goes.
Next, Director Wang said: "The second thing is related to Ye Ming. Who did Ye Ming sing "Blue and White Porcelain" in the Spring Festival Gala? The response was very big. It was only a few days after the New Year, and there were thousands of people.
A letter was sent to the crew.
There are still many reporters who want to interview Ye Ming. They are all from fraternal units, and we will also rely on the help of these reporters for publicity in the future. Therefore, I decided to hold a small-scale press conference to give everyone a unified answer.
Among the other issues, we need to give our Dream of Red Mansions crew a good publicity. It has already had such a huge influence even before filming started. This is a very good start."
Soon, reporters gathered together. At that time, press conferences were not so elaborate. The reporters who came basically came with a small gift such as a leather bag and a space cup. There was no such thing as travel expenses. After all, they were all
For state-owned units, there is no problem in collecting some souvenirs, but if they collect transportation fees, they may be put on the line.
In fact, it was a press conference. This time, people from seven or eight media companies came over. Everyone was relaxed and sat in a circle, like a round table meeting.
Director Wang, Ye Ming, Lao Zhang and others sat on the east side, while the reporters sat on the west side.
At this moment, Director Wang coughed and said: "Dear journalists, thank you all for coming, thank you for your concern for us, in response to some questions you have about our crew, I will hold this press conference today, and I will give a unified answer to it with Lao Zhang Xiaoye
Everyone." The reporter from Popular Films was the first to stand up and said: "Director Wang, one question I want to ask is that the Red Mansion crew has been auditioning actors for some time. I don't know what the results will be. How many roles have been decided?
"
Director Wang said without thinking at all: "The current progress is not going very smoothly. Although we have been to many places, there are really only a few that we have found that are suitable for us, and they are far from what I can do."
of need.
As for the confirmation of roles, currently only Ye Ming has been confirmed to play the role of Jia Baoyu, and the others are still being selected. If there is a result, I will definitely inform everyone as soon as possible."
The reporter from CCTV then asked: "Director Wang, I heard that the crew will hold a training class. I wonder what kind of training class this is? Can you explain it to the audience?"
After all, he was a reporter from the same unit, so he was naturally well-informed. The training class for the Dream of Red Mansions crew had not started yet, so the reporters from CCTV already knew about it.
Director Wang said with a smile: "This is an actor training class. When we choose actors this time, acting skills are not the first priority. Some people are even said to be not professional actors and have never acted at all. When we choose actors,
It is role-centered. As long as it is suitable for the role and young, these two are the most important things you want. As for acting experience, this can be cultivated slowly. Therefore, we need to focus on specific training, including physical fitness.
Vocal music, even poetry and music, all require training."
A reporter from the Beijing Evening News stood up and said: "Ye Ming, I want to ask you a question. The song "Blue and White Porcelain" you sang at the Spring Festival Gala was warmly welcomed by everyone. You also said at the Spring Festival Gala that writing this song would
It has something to do with your occupation. What was your official occupation before this?"
Ye Ming answered seriously: "I used to be a student in the junior class of Yenching University and graduated last year. I had two majors in school. The main major was the Chinese Department and the elective major was the Archeology Department. Therefore,
I have studied ancient things more deeply. In addition, I often see antiques such as blue and white porcelain. I think it is a very good thing and is very suitable for me to write a song. Therefore, I later felt that
I wrote this song only after I heard it."
Next, a reporter asked Ye Ming if it was possible for him to develop as a singer.
Ye Ming said with great certainty: "No, I have no such plan at the moment. My current job is to be an art consultant for the Dream of Red Mansions crew, responsible for reviewing the porcelain, jade, and other things that appear in the props.
Another job position is to play the role of Jia Baoyu in the Dream of Red Mansions crew. For now, that's it, and I don't think the Dream of Red Mansions crew can complete filming in one or two years.
Therefore, this is my main job at the moment. As for being a singer, I can only say that if I have the right opportunity, I will still sing, but I will not develop in this direction." At this time, a reporter from CCTV stood up and asked.
Said: "Ye Ming, you said in the Spring Festival Gala that you met a girl before you wrote this song. Who is this girl? Did she come to the crew to audition?"
Ye Ming nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, this little girl is here to audition. As for who she is and whether she will become an actor in the crew, it all depends on the director."
Director Wang waved his hand aside and said with a smile: "This is also a story. Maybe it will become a good story for the Red Mansion crew in the future. Haha, as for whether that little girl is suitable for our crew, it all depends on the character.
It doesn’t matter if it’s suitable, as long as it’s suitable, everything is possible.”
When the reporters heard this, they thought, this is not possible. Ye Ming still did not say who the girl he met was. How could this happen? Therefore, they took turns bombing and wanted to ask Ye Ming some news, but despite Ye Ming's young age,
Faced with the reporter's verbal quarrels, he didn't panic at all. The soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth, and he easily resolved all the reporters' questions, quite like a general.
Finally, Director Wang was also asked. The training class will start around March or April. The specific time has not been determined, but it is roughly this time period. Basically, the actors who can enter this training class have half of their feet.
Entered the crew of The Red Mansion. In fact, there were more than a hundred people who actually went to the training class, but those who finally entered the Grand View Garden to participate in the training were only more than fifty people. No matter who they were, these more than fifty people,
Most of them will appear in the TV series Dream of Red Mansions.
It is not an exaggeration to say that one hundred people were selected from a real nationwide audition. It can be seen from the mountains of self-recommendation letters in the office. It is actually very special to select so many people.
A difficult thing.
Especially, at this time, the director also said that he was not satisfied with these and continued to choose, which made it even more difficult.
At this moment, in a hotel in Anqing, a young man was drinking juice. Everyone at the same table was drinking liquor. He was the only one drinking juice. This seemed very unusual, but it could be seen from his position.
, is the dominant person, the person with the highest status among the group of people. And everyone is accustomed to this young man drinking juice.
A young man with long hair on the side said: "Brother Ma, I heard that the audition for the Red Mansion crew has been going on for half a year. With your conditions, Brother Ma, and your singing skills, you have to fight for it no matter what."
, this is a once-in-a-century opportunity for the Four Great Classics. How many of us are still waiting to see you on TV?"
Ma Guangru said with some waning interest: "What are you going to do in the capital? Originally, if I went, it would be to run for a role like Jia Baoyu. I actually really planned to go based on Jia Baoyu, but later you also knew
, the first person cast by the Red Mansions crew was Jia Baoyu. Ye Ming came to play the role, and you have also heard it during the Spring Festival Gala. Just that song alone is not something that ordinary people can compare to.
Ye Ming graduated from the junior class of Yenching University with a double major in Chinese and Archaeology. He can sing so well. Why should I run against Jia Baoyu if I run for him? Besides, he has already signed up for the Spring Festival Gala. Unless a miracle happens.
, otherwise no one can change that he is the actor who plays Jia Baoyu. Therefore, even if I go, at most I will compete for supporting roles such as Jia Lian, Jia Rong, etc. What does it mean if I say fighting for these supporting roles?
Ah, it’s better not to go,”
The long-haired young man said unconvinced: "What's the point? As long as you can join the crew of Red Mansions, you might have a chance to win over Jia Baoyu. In fact, even if you get into this crew to play a supporting role, it is very rare.
"Brother Ma, if you don't go, then I think you will regret it for the rest of your life." Everyone here is Ma Guangru's good friend. Therefore, they naturally know what kind of person Ma Guangru is and he likes to perform those tragic scholars.
This role, this time on the Red Mansion crew, is a very good opportunity for him. Even if he cannot win Jia Baoyu, it will be a very rare thing to win another role. Ma Guangru finally ended up
I was finally moved. I couldn't compete with Ye Ming, but it seemed that I could win a supporting role.
In the capital of Shu, Zhang Yuping called a friend of hers: "Ouyang, let me tell you something. The Red Mansions crew is auditioning for actors. I think you are a good candidate. You can't miss this situation no matter what."
For the role, if you have time, you should come over and audition in a few days. The competition here is very fierce. If you don’t hurry up, the role may not be yours."
Ouyang Fenqiang hesitated before saying: "Sister Zhang, tell me, the role of Jia Baoyu has been decided. What's the point of me going to compete for supporting roles?"
Zhang Yuping immediately said: "How is the supporting role? If the supporting role is well performed, it can still shine. Let me tell you, even a supporting role cannot be obtained casually. It can only be obtained with the approval of the director.
If you have the opportunity to join the crew, it is unrealistic to expect the director to visit the thatched cottage and invite you. Therefore, in such a situation, you must seize the opportunity, otherwise there will be no such store after this village.
Sister, I’m warning you, if you don’t come over, there will be too many people to win over. It’s best to come over as soon as possible. The sooner, the better. The further you go, the more actors will be confirmed, and the better your chances will be.
Not everyone has the luck and ability like Ye Ming."
Ye Ming was lucky. He was the first one to be cast as Jia Baoyu. Of course, he was really capable and could not be blocked. He became an instant hit during the Spring Festival Gala and became a popular actor who plays Jia Baoyu. He also became a
singer.
Ouyang Fenqiang also put down the phone and said with some regret: "If you are born in Yu, why should you be born in Liang? Anyway, my sister said so, and I was kindly reminded that it would be good to go to the capital just once."
