Light and shadow player

Cheng Yuan is the youngest among the top Chinese directors, but he is not the most popular among college students.

The most popular among college students are Jiang Wen and Li An.

Although Cheng Yu'an is not the most popular one, his campus tour activities are still very popular.

Wherever he went, he was welcomed by teachers and students.

Every event attracts a following.

During the offline activities, Cheng Yu'an's mouth was a little slapped, and he was asked at Pengcheng University: "Do you have any advice for young students who like to make movies?"

Cheng Yu'an couldn't hold back, and burst into a swear word: "Fuck! If you like making movies, what advice do you need? If you like it, just make it. It can't be stopped.

"When we were in school, we went to shoot commercials when we didn't join the group, and followed other people's buttocks to watch, hoping that the director would let us start shooting a scene or two.

"If I have nothing to do, I write the script in the dormitory, draw the storyboard, and say that I want to invite so and so to act in this play, and the performance will definitely become popular.

"Those who really like to shoot don't need advice, they will come out by themselves."

The promotion of "The Wandering Earth" wants to take on many programs, and many program groups even greeted the crew half a year in advance, expressing their willingness to set aside a schedule for "The Wandering Earth".

The crew is eager to accept all of them, but the load capacity of the main creators is always limited, and in the end there are still many programs that were not able to participate.

The campus tour event ran to the 14th and came to Hunan University.

Obviously, I dare to feel that the local people in Hunan Province, especially Changsha, have a different enthusiasm for stars and promotional crews than other places.

Due to many reasons, "The Wandering Earth" was not able to meet the schedule of the base camp, but tonight at Hunan University to exchange activities with teachers and students, the crew invited He Jiong to host.

He Jiong is very popular locally in Changsha. As soon as he appeared on the stage, the students on the scene screamed:
"But today's protagonist is not me, welcome to our "Wandering Earth" crew!"

On the campus tour to Changsha station, apart from the director Cheng Yuan, there are Li Xian, Li Guangjie, and Nini.

Four people came to the stage.

He had to be the host of an entertainment show, and He Jiong quickly heated up the scene, acting as a traction in the middle, guiding the main creators to interact with the teachers and students in the audience.

In the meantime, I will also express my views.

He Jiong has been a director himself, and he communicated smoothly with the creators.

"I was recording a program a few days ago. A little girl in 99 said she grew up watching my movies," Cheng Yu'an shared an interesting story on stage. Are you in the entertainment industry?"

He Jiong smiled and said, "You're pretty good. I'm doing a program to interview young people. I used to ask how old you are, but now I ask how old your dad is. He said, ouch, I'm older than your dad."

"Hahahaha!" The audience roared with laughter.

During the whole communication process, Cheng Yu'an and others also watched the original plays arranged by the students of the school's drama club.

Both Cheng Yu'an and He Jiong spoke highly of the play.

"It's quite interesting." Cheng Yu'an said, "I can see the careful preparation of the students."

Then he was asked how young actors can hone their acting skills and how to get ahead.

Because many college drama clubs also want to perform commercially and hold large-scale performances, but they can hardly sell tickets outside.

Cheng Yu'an thought for a while, and felt that he still didn't want to draw a cake: "Actually, you don't need to ask me this question, your drama club should already have the answer, and I believe your instructor has also said this question.

"The answer is that we don't want to spend more time and energy on rehearsals and script creation. It's as simple as that. In fact, this problem is serious in stage plays, and even more serious in the film and television industry.

"Our young people now are acting and studying in colleges. Their goal is not to say that I want to play a good show or play a good role. What they think is that I want to be popular. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be popular. Everyone wants to be popular. Because only when you become popular, the audience can notice you and your role. However, when your first goal is not to act well but to become popular, the causal relationship is reversed.”

Cheng Yu'an thought about it again, and took the initiative to mention Nini next to him: "Nini was chosen to perform "Thirteen Hairpins" at the time, and she didn't think it was popular, did she?"

Nini answered and said with a smile: "I was still a student at that time, and when I was selected, I thought about quitting. I thought, how can I act. You know, I trained for two years and filmed for a year. , I didn’t think it might be good to be an actor until the filming was over.”

Cheng Yu'an returned to the question itself: "Just now this classmate asked young actors how to improve their acting skills and how to stand out. It's actually very simple, just keep thinking, learning, and acting.

"Some students may say that I am not from a major, so I can't act well."

Nini cheered and said, "I'm not a major in acting either."

"Young master Zhou is not from a major." Cheng Yu'an continued.

"Some classmates are going to say again, I have artistic ideals, and I want to make any film." I have to say, Cheng Yu'an knows what young actors are thinking, "But young actors don't have so many choices. You have to act in bad movies too."

It is inappropriate to say such words from Cheng Yu'an's mouth, but it is the truth.

"Because if you don't act, you can't even get bad movies. Many of our good actors have acted in bad movies."

In fact, Cheng Yu'an has always opposed those "artists" who teach young actors to "cherish feathers and don't act in bad movies".

Young actors don't have so many choices, and it's his turn to choose the script and the crew.

Cheng Yuan's words were not pleasant, but they were also shocking and won applause from the teachers and students.

"Look, I told you guys a long time ago." The instructor of the drama club under the stage said to her members, "You don't believe him until he tells you."

At the end of the school's activities, Cheng Yu'an and others declined the school's banquet.

Back at the hotel, He Jiong was the host, entertaining the crew.

"Mr. Cheng, what you said just now was too harsh." He Jiong said.

He knew the truth, but He Jiong wouldn't say it.

"There's nothing like stabbing someone or not," Cheng Yu'an said while eating, "They will know sooner or later when they get into this business. Gong Li still has "Golden Armor"."

Satisfied with wine and food, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

At the same time, after a week of preheating, the Golden Horse Awards finally unveiled the "mysterious guest, proud of the Chinese" that night, announcing:
"Cheng Yu'an, who is also the best director at the Oscars and also the best director at the Golden Horse Awards, will attend the Golden Horse Awards on the evening of the 17th and serve as the guest of honor for the 'Best Director Award'."

In the poster of the official announcement, Cheng Yu'an's personal honor was listed in detail by the official.

Forget about a few grand prizes, there are also countless first prizes that have been placed on Cheng Yu'an's personal poster.

Anyway, full of honors, it looks quite bluffing.

Cheng Yu'an was the last announced guest of honor for the Golden Horse Awards.

The addition of Cheng Yu'an brought the popularity of this year's Golden Horse Awards to a higher level.

So far, the three Oscar-winning directors in the Chinese film industry: Li An, Cheng Yu'an and Zhang Yimou will all appear at the Golden Horse Awards ceremony.

This is an unprecedented event.

This made the Golden Rooster Awards a bit tasteful. They originally wanted to invite Zhang Yimou and Cheng Yu'an to the Golden Rooster Awards next year to join a mainland Oscar event, but they didn't expect to be cut off by Li An.

Cheng Yu'an said on Weibo the next day: "Thank you very much for Director Li An's invitation. I came to the Golden Horse Awards again after five years. I hope to have a pleasant movie night."
