Chapter 433 The Three "Rats" of Chinese Opera Class 96

Nanluoguxiang, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Beijing, had its predecessor in the Yuan Dynasty.

There are countless celebrities who have lived here, and some of them still exist today include the Qing Dynasty Monk Palace, the former residence of the writer Mao Dun, the old Jiang Xingyuan, the former residence of Qi Baishi and so on.

At the same time, Nanluoguxiang is also a famous snack street in Beijing, and once became a must-stop for many foreign tourists.

However, for some people, Nanluoguxiang also has a special name-canteen.

The Donghuaian Hutong in Nanluoguxiang is located in the Chinese Opera, one of the three top art schools in China. This group of Chinese opera students go out to Nanluoguxiang. In a sense, this group of snacks street is another canteen for them .

Not only school students play here, but also many senior Chinese opera seniors who have graduated, occasionally come here to reminisce about their youth.

"Rat, this way."

At the hot pot restaurant, a fat man with half-length hair greeted the door, and a man in a leather jacket came over and said angrily.

"My name is Mouse, what's your name?"

"Old Chen, Fatty, Minghao, or just call them by their first names."

With a playful smile, Chen Minghao greeted Qin Hao with a middle finger, and found a seat to sit down: "Just the two of us?"

"Squad leader and Tian Zheng are playing, Lao Cao is on a business trip, Huohua is not in the capital, Huinan went back to his hometown and didn't come back, today it's just you, me, and Dang Hao."

"have to."

Qin Hao nodded with a wry smile, and couldn't help complaining: "It's the three of us again, it's always a meeting of rats."

"Who makes the three of us the most free? Hey, old party, Dang Hao, this way."

Dang Hao with a bald head came in and greeted the boss, and sat down: "I just called Lao Cao, why are you so busy as a teacher?"

Cao Jun, a student in Class 96 of Chinese Opera, went to Communication University of China as a teacher after graduation. He has also acted in many works, but all of them are small roles. The one who is more impressive is the big official in "Smart Little Don't Understand".

Speaking of it, Class 96 of the Chinese Opera is quite popular as a teacher. Three of the dozen or so students have embarked on the road of gardeners after graduation.

Cao Jun and Zeng Li are both like this. Dang Hao was the teacher of Beiwu before, but he resigned later.

There are only these few students in Class 96 of Chinese Opera. The ratio of male to female is about the same.

When everyone was present, the dishes were ordered and put on the pot. Chen Minghao, the liveliest of the three, toasted: "Come on, brothers, let's go together. The last time Qin Hao was nominated for Best Actor in Cannes, we haven't celebrated yet."

"Indeed, Qin Hao, congratulations."

Dang Hao also toasted, but Qin Hao waved his hands self-effacingly: "What kind of actor nomination is just to go around, don't you shiver."

"Turning around is also amazing. It's a way to win the boys in our class. Except for Ziyi, how many of you have been to Cannes."

In film festivals like Cannes, there are often no clear nominations for individual awards.

As long as the film is selected as the main competition unit, theoretically, the leading actors of these films can compete for the best actor and queen in Cannes.

There are often many film festivals that can nominate dozens of best actor and actress nominations, and even a single film has several nominations for best actor and actress. Some of the three major European regulars have won double-digit nominations for best actor and actress.

Therefore, this so-called Cannes best actor nomination is actually not particularly valuable.

Of course, being nominated for Best Actor in Cannes four times in a row like Yuan Shikong Qin Hao is also very impressive.

At least there are almost no actors in China who have such an honor as him, and he is worthy of the title of "Uncrowned King of Literary Films".

Chen Minghao and the two started booing with each other, and held Qin Hao for a drink.

The 52-degree Niulanshan Erguotou wine is not weak. If the cups of Xiao Erliang are dry, those who are spicy will quickly boil the meat and press the wine.

Alcohol is a good medicine for talking, and after two or two drinks, the three who hadn't seen each other for a long time and were a bit unfamiliar had opened up the chatterbox.

Dang Hao picked up a piece of tofu: "There are a few in our class, except for Lao Cao who doesn't film, it seems that the three of us are the worst."

"you do not say."

Chen Minghao stuffed a large piece of mutton into his mouth: "I'm ashamed to mention that I belong to our class at work, I'm sorry for that person."

"Come on, you've become an A-corner in Mandarin, you've got a solid job, and you'll be a performing artist in a few years."

"Bullshit artist, my salary for one year is not as much as what you earn from a play. By the way, old party, last time I heard you played a male third. How is it? Has it been broadcast?"

"I didn't hear anything, who knows what's going on."

Dang Hao was a little depressed. Although the salary has been settled, he has no loss whether the TV series is broadcast or not.

But from an actor's point of view, I still hope that this drama can be broadcast smoothly, and even become popular, which is also good for him.

Speaking of Dang Hao, he is not well-known in Class 96 of Chinese Opera, but his experience is absolutely legendary.

This guy also got off to a good start. He starred with Liu Huohua in "That Mountain That Man That Dog", and later took over several TV dramas.

Until August 2004, he experienced a bizarre car accident. In his own words, twenty light barriers were all gone, and only one wheel was left, but nothing happened to him.

Perhaps the car accident had used up all his good luck.

Since then, the TV series he has participated in such as "Charming Fragrance", "Don't Let the Tears Flow", "Don't Let Love Be Silent", "So", "Sala Youth", "Jinyiwei" and other TV series have not been broadcast.

Especially "Pet Hospital", which is the first and only male lead in his life, and it was not broadcast.

It is said that Dang Hao's longest record is four or six years, and none of the TV dramas he starred in was broadcast.

And the hit dramas "Snail House" and "The Boss's Happiness" approached him, because he felt that the role was not suitable, so he voluntarily resigned.

If the performance is not broadcast, the resignation performance is popular!

How should I put it, it is very rare for an actor to be so unlucky, so that the so-called "Danghao Law" has appeared in the industry, and the film crew will avoid him when they see his name.

Don't think it's an exaggeration, this situation is still very scary. Investors may not be afraid that the actors will not be popular, but they can't even broadcast the project.

The entertainment industry is a bit superstitious about Feng Shui and metaphysics. Many film studios look for actors, and they even tend to favor those with good luck.

For Dang Hao, who is rare in decades, the name of the "Sangmen Star" is unlucky for investors, and they dare not bet at all. He is an ordinary actor anyway, and he can't afford to give up such a big money.

Now, although Dang Hao also experienced a car accident last year, but the time is short, the feelings are not clear, and he is not so miserable that the crew will kick him out just by hearing his name.

Even because of the illustrious reputation of Class 96 of the Chinese Opera, they got more opportunities than in the original time and space.

Of course, but it's not even considered popular, it can only be regarded as having just stabilized the job of an actor, and there is no shortage of job opportunities.

Qin Hao is similar to him. Although he made a lot of money going to Cannes, actors in literary films can't make much money at all.

Moreover, Qin Hao is rather proud, and he cares more about the achievements of his classmates. When he first graduated, he didn't want to take the role unless he was the first male, and the second male was not willing to go.

And if the play is good, if the play is not good, the male lead will not accept it.

As I said before, because of the popularity of Hu Jing and International Chapter, the popularity of class 96 is much bigger than that of the original time and space. The students in the class are also famous, and they are still very popular in the industry.

But no matter how popular he is, he wouldn't directly hit Qin Hao, an unknown person, with the hero.

The arrogant Qin Hao was regarded as ungrateful, and he had a miserable time in the past two years, and he was the bottom of class 96.

Fortunately, his thinking changed later, and he was valued by Wang Xiaoshuai, and he went to Cannes last year, so he finally accumulated some capital, so he can eat without worrying about food.

In comparison, Chen Minghao was the simplest. He graduated into traditional Chinese painting and worked hard on the stage of drama. He lived the most steadfast life, but he didn't have much money.

The reunion of old classmates is still very emotional, especially seeing the old classmates doing better than the other, let alone the feeling.

Just like today's gathering, it is said that everyone is busy, but in fact the three of them are relatively free.

He's a good guy, so he doesn't have time to come to Nanluoguxiang to chat...

"Same class is different."

After drinking for three rounds, Dang Hao, who was blushing from drinking, shouted: "The film king and queen, the four young actresses, the scenery is infinite, and the three of us are not even willing to drink a bottle of good wine. Sometimes, there is no way to order this thing." Say."

"Who said we can't afford good wine."

Chen Minghao tried his best to open his misty eyes, and patted the table: "Waiter, is there Maotai?"

"Yes, Feitian Moutai in our store's collection, 700 a bottle, do you want to see?"

"Hey, just a bottle of Xifeng."

Chen Minghao, who had agreed to treat guests, was mostly sober. His monthly salary was only a few thousand yuan less, but he couldn't afford to make such expensive wine.

"It's not me. There are too many fake wines in these small shops. I want to drink them. Later, I will find someone to get two bottles of real wine. Let's find a place to drink slowly."

Chen Minghao explained a few words to save himself, Qin Hao and Dang Hao didn't expose it, and agreed with a smile to go back to his house for a drink.

Two bottles of 52-degree Erguotou and a half-bottle of Xifeng, the three drank from noon to evening.

Dang Hao, who is a little light on alcohol, even ran to the bathroom several times. The hot pot he ate today was not spoiled at all, and he returned it all...

Seeing that they were full of wine and food, and drunk, the three of them originally planned to go back to their respective houses, but when they went out, they happened to see a Chinese opera not far away.

"Brothers, do you want to go back to your alma mater?"

"Walk."

Three drunken burly men wandered to Zhongxi, and if they were replaced by others, they would have been sent away by the receptionist.

But because they are in class 96, the uncle still has an impression. When he learned that the three of them wanted to go back to their alma mater, the uncle didn't say much and let them in.

When the cold wind blew, several people were a little dizzy, but they were extremely excited. When they came to the familiar playground, Chen Minghao laughed.

"Old Party, do you still remember, that boy Tian Zheng wanted to confess to Hu Jing in the playground when he was a junior, and we continued to help him, but in the end, Lao Tian was simply rejected by others."

"I remember, I remember."

Dang Hao nodded again and again, and restrained his expression, imitating Hu Jing's refusal scene back then: "I'm sorry Tian Zheng, I have someone I like."

Qin Hao also thought of this, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "At that time, my brothers still wanted to scare that man and help Lao Tian vent his anger. Later, when they couldn't find anyone, they thought it was Hu Jing who lied. Who would have thought of that man? It is the famous Cao Xuan."

"Oh, I can't mention this. When I mentioned this, I remembered the eyes of those girls looking at Lao Tian. At that time, I thought it was a pity, but later I realized that it was pitiful."

"It's poor to compete with Cao Xuan for women, the boys in our class are not enough for him to fight with one hand."

Chen Minghao looked at Dang Hao, and suddenly curled his lips: "Don't just talk about Lao Tian, ​​Lao Dang, you also liked Senior Zeng's beauty at that time, right? It was also rejected by people."

"If I failed once, I'll be honest. If I want to chase Zeng Li, I have to be our squad leader. Unfortunately, it's worse than Tian Zheng. He confessed his love three times and was rejected three times."

"Hey, I heard that Zeng Li seems to be related to Cao Xuan, is it true?"

"I don't know, but I remember when I was a sophomore or a junior. The relationship between Hu Jing and Zeng Li is indeed not as good as before. Maybe there is something inside."

"Tsk tsk, Cao Xuan is one-on-two, like a fish in water, and you two-on-one, you're the shit, shame on you."

Chen Minghao teased with a smirk, Dang Hao became furious: "Hi, you send a love letter to Mei Ting, and you drop out of school after you send him a letter."

"Fart, I haven't sent it yet."

Seeing the two of them exposing each other's scars, Qin Hao hurriedly called a stop, and pointed to the bulletin board next to the playground, all of which were excellent alumni of Chinese opera.

Photos of Hu Jing, International Zhang, Qin Hailu, Liu Huohua, and Yuan Quan from their class were all hung on it.

In fact, according to her fame and status, Mei Ting from class 96 could also be admitted, but she didn't graduate, so she didn't pass.

Zeng Damei is also barely qualified, and she is indeed on the wall, but she is not an outstanding alumnus, but an excellent faculty member.

"If my photo can appear here one day, it will not be considered as a waste of four years of college."

Dang Hao was muttering, and the two people beside him were silent, but it could be seen from their eyes that their hearts were not peaceful.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go."

No matter how many complaints on the wine table, the impact is not stronger than the real thing. The three of them suddenly lost the mood to continue shopping, and Chen Minghao suggested to leave.

The three of them walked to the gate in silence, and just about to wave goodbye, a few car horns came from behind them.

Looking back, an Audi A6 slowly stepped forward, the window was lowered, and a familiar pretty face was revealed.

"Chen Minghao, I looked like you just now, and Dang Hao, this bald head is too conspicuous, hey, and Qin Hao, long time no see."

"Zeng Li, why are you here?"

Dang Hao blurted out, and slapped his forehead after asking: "Forgot, you stayed in school to teach."

"Well, I just got out of school, are you here to play?"

"We're eating nearby, so let's take a look."

"The school has changed a lot. We have renovated several times after graduation."

"You're not bad, A6 is on."

"My friend, I only have a small broken car. It just happened that the car broke down in the past two days, so I borrowed it temporarily."

"..."

The old classmates met and exchanged a few pleasantries, but after all, they hadn't seen each other for many years, and it was still difficult to hide their unfamiliarity. After a few words, they were a little cold.

Zeng Li looked at his watch, and took the initiative to signal to end the topic: "It seems that you are leaving, or I will take you there."

"No, no, there are cars, you go your own."

"Okay then, let's get together sometime."

"sure."

After sending Zeng Li away, the three of them were stunned for a moment, then Qin Hao suddenly said: "That very popular Liu Yifei seems to be Zeng Li's student."

"I've read the news that Zeng Li is her homeroom teacher."

Dang Hao nodded, and couldn't help laughing at himself: "Oh, don't talk about my classmates now, even the students of my classmates are no match for us."

"Okay, that's all for today, how do you go?"

Chen Minghao changed the subject, and the two who had told Zeng Li just now that they had a car also missed the point.

"I'm on the subway."

"I take the bus."

"I have a headache today. I'll take a extravagance and take a taxi. Okay, let's go."

.........

Chen Minghao returned home by car. He is a native of the capital. He usually lives with his parents and doesn't have to share the rent. He can even save a lot of living expenses.

Perhaps he may sometimes not earn as much as Qin Hao and Dang Hao, but he is stable enough, and does not have too much expenditure, so he is relatively well-off.

After returning home, he greeted his parents, Chen Minghao returned to his room, and fell asleep.

Ask, how did you feel the next day when you were blown by the cold wind after drinking a lot of wine the night before.

Answer: The headache felt like someone had sawed it several times with a big saw.

Chen Minghao woke up in the morning, sat on the bed for half an hour, and called to ask for leave. After 10 am, he planned to get up and eat something.

He really lost his appetite and couldn't eat the deep-fried dough stick buns left by his parents. He cooked some clear water noodles by himself and ate some without taste.

My mother, who came back from exercising in the park, came in and complained about his drinking while talking about business.

"A woman called you in the morning and said she was your college classmate. If your mobile phone couldn't get through, she called our landline. You didn't wake up at the time, and they told you to call him back when you woke up."

"College classmate, female?"

The first thing Chen Minghao thought of was the Zeng Li he met yesterday. After drinking the noodle soup in two or three bites, he went back to find his phone.

It was found that the mobile phone charger was left in the hot pot restaurant last night, and the mobile phone was turned off due to power failure.

My parents don't have a mobile phone, but fortunately there is a universal charger at home. This is something that many people born after 05 have never seen before, and it is very popular now.

He quickly took out the battery and charged it for 20 minutes. When the phone was turned on, Chen Minghao saw several missed calls and text messages from Zeng Li.

[I have something important to look for you, and I will reply as soon as I see the text message]

Chen Minghao knew that Zeng Li didn't like to have a funny personality when he was idle, and he also sent text messages, and sometimes even called his landline at home. There must be something important, so he hurriedly called back.

"I finally called back. If I didn't know your landline number from Qin Hao and talked to your mother, I would have thought something happened to you."

"The phone is out of battery. I didn't pay attention when I got home. What can I do?"

"That's right, didn't we meet last night? I had dinner with a friend at night, and it happened that their crew was short of actors. I saw the role and thought you were quite suitable, so I recommended it.

My friend is very satisfied after reading your profile, and wants to ask you to try it out, see if you have time. "

"Is that friend of yours surnamed Cao..."

Chen Minghao already had a guess at this time, but he couldn't help but want to confirm it. Zeng Li paused for two seconds, but he didn't hide it.

"It's Cao Xuan. To tell you the truth, I played the second female role in "Xiu Chun Knife 2". When I listened to the other castings they discussed, I found that there is a role that suits you very well. male second.

They're all old classmates, so I've made a connection for you. If you have time, you can try it. I don't guarantee that you will get the role, but it is indeed a rare opportunity..."

Listening to the voice on the phone, Chen Minghao was a little dazed.

What crew is "Embroidered Spring Knife 2"?
Last summer, "Embroidered Spring Knife" won 1.5 million box office, ranking second in the annual box office list, and the word-of-mouth box office has a double harvest.

As the sequel to the blockbuster movie, "Embroidered Spring Knife 2" has just been approved as a project, or it has not yet been approved. It has only been confirmed to start shooting, and many people have paid attention to it.

In particular, I learned that apart from Cao Xuan and Xu Laoguai, the two cores remained unchanged, the other leading actors have changed drastically. The crew of "Xiu Chun Knife 2" even has scandals with Liu Tianwang, Liang Chaowei, Li Lianjie and other top Chinese superstars.

At this time, Zeng Li told him that he had the opportunity to play the second or third male role in this movie.

If it wasn't for Colonel Zeng Hua's guaranteed reputation, and thinking of the previous scandals, Chen Minghao would have thought that he had been scammed by a phone call.

"...If you are willing to audition, just tell me, and I'll call back there, Chen Minghao, are you listening?"

"Yes, I am willing to trouble you."

"Old classmates, you are welcome. I will send you a text message with the time, place and contact person in a while. You can just contact me directly."

"Okay, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Minghao was still a little dizzy, and couldn't help but twitched his mouth lightly, feeling a slight numbness and pain, before he dared to believe that everything just now was true, the corners of his mouth curled up wildly, and then lol.

Then, she was immediately suppressed by Mama Chen, who was washing dishes in the kitchen: "You drank fake wine, why are you howling at noon, quickly find someone to marry and move out, I can't afford to serve you..."

Chen Minghao didn't dare to refute, but took this opportunity to go downstairs, preparing to buy a disc of "Embroidered Spring Knife", review it carefully, and prepare for the interview.

Two days later, Fanxing Building
Chen Minghao sat on the chair, took two mouthfuls of air rice in the bowl with relish, and let out a sigh of relief as he raised his head and enjoyed it.

"The fast food in Yong'an Temple is well-deserved."

The assistant director next to him helped with the play, and the two made a scene of Pei Lun's interrogation in "Xiu Chun Knife 2".

Cao Xuan was watching from the side, turning his head from time to time to whisper to Mr. Xu, Boys Shi and other producers.

He actually knew Chen Minghao, otherwise Cao Xuan would not have spoiled Empress Xigong, and would not have given him such an important role immediately after hearing that she was an old classmate.

Different from Liu Huohua, who is the most famous among the boys in Class 96, who was at the peak when he debuted, Chen Minghao and Qin Hao are both late bloomers.

Qin Hao focused on literary films, and later acted in online dramas. He became famous thanks to Zhang Dongsheng in "Take You Climbing the Mountain".

Chen Minghao focuses on drama and has achieved a lot in the field of drama. It can be said that he is a relatively well-known dramatist in China, and he has even performed abroad many times.

This guy didn't have too many film and television works before 2018, the most prominent one is Mr. Fan & Bull Demon King in "Magic Phone".

Later, the middle-aged Fatty Wang, who played in "Sand Sea", gradually became famous and received a lot of resources. Although most of them were supporting roles, he also became a familiar face in the audience's mind.

Long hours of drama performances, as well as a natural and precise grasp of comedy performances, make Chen Minghao's acting skills sophisticated and humorous. Anyone who has seen his performances will leave a deep impression on him.

That day, Zeng Li casually chatted with Cao Xuan about Lu Yu's old classmate, which made him choose to see "New Pei Lun" who replaced Lei Datou in "Xiu Chun Knife 2".

In fact, at the beginning, Cao Xuan thought about letting Datou Lei continue to play this role.

But Lei Datou is only in his early 20s and is still in acting and school, so he doesn't have the ability and experience to support this role.

Chen Minghao and Lei Datou have relatively similar styles, and Chen Minghao, who has been working on the drama stage for many years after graduation, has absolutely passed his acting skills now.

It is worth mentioning that Chen Minghao is the leading actor in the 96-level graduation drama of Chinese opera. Although part of this is due to Liu Huohua's busy schedule, it also shows his ability.

At least after this part of the performance, Chen Minghao's performance is very good, the only drawback is that the stage is still a bit heavy, but this can be overcome.

After the audition, Cao Xuan was more inclined to choose him, but he didn't make a final decision. He just asked him to go back and wait for the announcement.

It wasn't until a week later that Chen Minghao officially received the notice. He was temporarily given the role of Pei Lun, and he would take a period of time to participate in the martial arts training arranged by the crew.

Chen Minghao raised his arms and shouted, but he didn't relax his vigilance. The word "temporarily" told him bluntly that he was not the only candidate, and he could switch at any time if his performance was not good.

In mid-March, Chen Minghao received a notice to go to a stadium for training, and then saw an acquaintance.

"Qin Hao?"

Qin Hao put down the Yanling knife in his hand, turned to look at Chen Minghao, and smiled.

"I didn't expect that, I have a surprise for you."

"What a surprise."

Chen Minghao came over and punched him, and asked, "What are you acting?"

"Ling Yunkai, a little villain."

Chen Minghao, who had already got the script, nodded, and then had a sudden thought: "Won't Dang Hao come too, with his head, he doesn't need makeup to play Monk Jinghai."

"I asked him, but I didn't receive a call from Zeng Li."

Speaking of this, the two looked at each other and probably understood what was going on.

Whether it's Zeng Li who didn't help to avoid suspicion, or Cao Tianwang's narrow-mindedness.

Anyway, if you have publicly pursued the fields, parties, and cattle in the East and West Palaces, it is very likely that it will be difficult to obtain the resources of the stars.

Thinking of this, Chen Minghao and Qin Hao couldn't help but rejoice. At that time, they were chasing several other golden flowers, otherwise they would not have appeared in "Embroidered Spring Knife 2"...
