director of the millennium

Chapter 90
After closing the door of Xie Xiaojing's office and standing in the corridor, Wu Yuan let out a long sigh of relief.

As he walked towards the dormitory, he thought about what the teacher just said.

Xie Xiaojing made a request for him.

Before the next summer vacation, he had to select a group of newcomers from the 02-level Bunsen, and rehearse a classic drama.

Xie Xiaojing doesn't ask for any specific scenes to be arranged, as long as they can be arranged in the end.

This can be regarded as Wu Yuan’s homework this year.

For this assignment, Wu Yuan has nothing to complain about.

At least the teacher didn't let him choose an actor from the 02 vocational high school students!
And he really wants to practice more on his ability to train actors.

In the foreseeable future, if Wu Yuan wants to make popular and well-received movies, he might really have to cultivate a group of actors himself.

Otherwise, do you expect the batch of traffic kings and little fresh meat after 2012?
It's not that they can't do it at all, but that it's not necessary.
Full of motivation, after Wu Yuan returned to his dormitory, he began to study which drama to schedule next.

As a director, Wu Yuan is naturally familiar with various Chinese and foreign dramas.

Xie Xiaojing didn't make any specific requirements for him, Wu Yuan can choose freely.

Western "Prometheus", "Agamemnon", "Antigone", "Oedipus the King"...

China's "Thunderstorm", "Sunrise", "Tea House", "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land"...

There are simply too many dramas to choose from.

But after going through the above classic dramas in Wu Yuan's mind, he quickly passed them.

Thinking that he would be filming a commercial romance film in China next, Wu Yuan felt that he could just take this opportunity to arrange a love-themed drama to practice first.

When it comes to the subject of love, in the field of drama, there is a drama (song) from China and abroad, which will definitely be mentioned!

That is "The Butterfly Lovers", which represents the Chinese love classic, and "Romeo and Juliet", which represents the Western love classic!
Coincidentally, the final endings of these two classic love stories are so similar, both hero and heroine died in love.

Sure enough, only love tragedies full of regrets can be remembered and sung by human beings.

After some hesitation, Wu Yuan chose "Romeo and Juliet" as the play to be rehearsed next.

There is no way, although the story of "The Butterfly Lovers" is a swan song through the ages, most of the domestic adaptations of "The Butterfly Lovers" are based on various operas.

Although there is also a stage play of "The Butterfly Lovers", the performance of the stage play is definitely not as shocking as that of opera.

But Wu Yuan doesn't know how to direct opera either, he really doesn't know anything about opera.

"Romeo and Juliet" is different, this is a classic (drama) drama.

Because it is a classic, there are too many versions for Wu Yuan to refer to, and it is also suitable for him, a new drama director, to learn from!
"That's it!" In the dormitory, Wu Yuan dug out the script of "Romeo and Juliet" from the computer.

From now on, he needs to have a deep understanding of the script, find the internal logic and themes in it, and understand it thoroughly.

Only in this way can he guide the actors to perform in a targeted manner and present the correct performance!
Of course, the recruitment and rehearsal of actors should be arranged as soon as possible!

The next day.

Film School Acting Department Building, Classroom Office.

Wu Yuan came early in the morning to visit teacher Wang Jinsong from the acting department.

This Wang Jinsong is not the one who played Uncle Yaodong in "Operation Icebreaker", but a classmate of Huang Lei and Jiang Wu, an outstanding graduate of Nortel in the Class of 90.

At the beginning, he worked in Huaxia Youth Art Theater, and then he was transferred to teach in the Acting Department of the Academy of Film in 99, and was promoted to the vice president of the Academy of Acting in 02.

At the same time, he is also the class teacher of the 2002 undergraduate performance department.

If Wu Yuan wanted to borrow students from the 02nd grade of the acting department to rehearse a drama, it must be negotiated with him first.

Fortunately, Xie Xiaojing, the mentor, had already helped Wu Yuan get through the relationship and links.

Seeing Wu Yuan coming to the door, Teacher Wang Jinsong immediately got up with a smile and greeted him: "Director Wu, I'm looking forward to seeing you."

"Professor Xie, you told me last year that you were going to rehearse a play."

"This makes me so happy. You, a major international director, want to rehearse a play. For the students in the class, this is a rare and good opportunity!"

"As a result, I waited and waited, and I didn't hear from you after waiting for more than half a year. I thought you two, master and apprentice, had changed your mind."

Wu Yuan shook his hand with a smile, and took the initiative to explain: "Some work in the United States has not been finished, and some time has been delayed."

"Understood." Teacher Wang waved Wu Yuan's hand up and down, and asked actively, "Is Director Wu going to choose a suitable actor now?"

"Have you decided on the drama to be rehearsed?"

"It's fixed, "Romeo and Juliet"."

"This play is good, Shakespeare's classic play!" Mr. Wang agreed and took out a student information book from the drawer while agreeing.

"Director Wu, let me give you a brief introduction to the students in our 02 undergraduate class."

Teacher Wang flipped through the roster, and the first page was Liu Yifei's information, with a 2-inch photo of her posted on it.

"This is currently the best student in our class. Although he is the youngest in the class, he has acted in two TV dramas..."

"The Family of Gold Fans" started airing on CCTV last week.

Liu Yifei, who played the role of Bai Xiuzhu in the play, and who had just completed "Dragon Babu" at the beginning of the year, although she is the youngest student in the class, is undoubtedly the most famous one in the class.

Teacher Wang was the first to introduce her, and she was also the best student in the 2002 class.

After spending a lot of saliva introducing Liu Yifei, Teacher Wang briefly introduced the other students. In his mouth, every student is a good seed and a piece of beautiful jade.

Wu Yuan did see a lot of familiar actors in it.

For example, Luo Jin, who has returned home with Tangtang, Zhu Yawen, the last tough guy in the mainland with a burst of hormones, Jiang Yan, who has not yet added "one" to her name, and Zhou Yang, the third virgin in "The Legend of the Lotus Lantern".
Seriously speaking, level 02 is still okay, at least there are a few actors who came out later, it's better than level 03 and 04, which were completely wiped out.

After roughly listening to Teacher Wang's introduction, Wu Yuan asked with a smile: "Are they in class now? Can I go and meet these students?"

"No problem at all!"

Downstairs of the teacher's office of the performance department is the classroom of the 02-level undergraduate class.

Today, all the students arrived. There were 30 students in the class, and all of them came to class obediently.

As usual, the students who had arrived in the classroom more than ten minutes earlier were gathering in pairs to chat.

Young people in their early 20s are all studying acting, so their chat topics are definitely inseparable from celebrity gossip.

Some people are talking about Jay Chou being on the cover of the Asian edition of Time Magazine, arguing whether he can be regarded as the king of music.

Some people are talking about "Hero" directed by Yimou. Even though the movie has already been released, it is still the hottest topic in the industry.

Some people are also talking about the recent hit broadcast on CCTV, "A Family of Gold Fans". Senior brother Chen Kun's performance in the drama has been praised non-stop.

When Luo Jin and others talked about this, they all showed envious expressions on their faces, imagining when they would be able to film a TV series on CCTV.

Several female classmates also surrounded Liu Yifei, asking her about her feelings about filming a TV series, the atmosphere of the crew, and her tone full of envy and longing.

"Actually, it's quite hard. Sometimes I have to get up at three or four in the morning to rush to the set in order to catch some scenes. It's also common to shoot late at night."

Liu Yifei blushed with a small round face, and excitedly shared her experience and feelings in the crew with the students.

"Peach Blossom Island is really beautiful, and the camera teacher of the crew is also very good at shooting. You must watch it when it airs!"

It's just that these female classmates of hers definitely didn't want to hear that.

Sitting next to Liu Yifei, Jiang Yan was holding her arm, and asked with a smile: "Qiqian, is Xiaoxuanfeng as handsome as he is on TV?"

"I really like him!"

"Brother Zhiying?" Liu Yifei tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded affirmatively: "The real person is as handsome as the one on TV."

’ And he is a very humorous person in private, he always likes to joke with everyone on the set and tell some jokes to enliven the atmosphere. '

"Wow, I really envy you." The carefree Zhou Yang also said enviously, "Being able to film with the gentle and humorous Brother Zhiying."

The Asian Little Cyclone is not an ordinary fire in China now.

The "Peerless Twins" played by him and the fifth elder brother can be said to have killed this generation of girls. No one doesn't like Jiang Xiaoyu and Hua Wuque in the play.

"Hehe, brother Zhiying is really nice."

Liu Yifei smiled stupidly, and recalled that Brother Zhiying took good care of her on the set.

And I recently heard from my mother that Brother Zhiying also helped her introduce two movies on Taiwan's Taiwan side, both of which are female lead resources, and one of them is Zhiying who is also the leading actor!
But thinking of this, Liu Yifei remembered what Wu Yuan said to her and her mother on the set of "The Family of Gold Fans".

Her "Dragon Babu" has only been completed for less than two months. If she is going to make another movie, and there are still two movies, then she probably won't have time to study for the whole year.

She has only been in school for three months from the beginning of her freshman year to the present, and she has only just gotten to know her classmates.
"My mentor told me that if you want to build a building, the most important thing is to lay a good foundation."

"If you don't learn the knowledge of acting well first, and want to be famous in filming in a hurry, then you will never be an excellent actor in this life."

Liu Yifei looked out the window in a daze, Wu Yuan's previous words kept echoing in her mind.

At this moment, two figures walking together came into her sight.

Half a step ahead in the figure is her head teacher, Teacher Wang.

And when she saw clearly who the young man behind Teacher Wang was, Liu Yifei parted her red lips slightly, her eyes widened with surprise.

"Director Wu?!"

As she subconsciously exclaimed, the classmates sitting near Liu Yifei followed her gaze and looked out the window curiously.

Then, they were all dumbfounded.

I saw the head teacher, Mr. Wang, leading Wu Yuan into the classroom of the 02-level performance class with a smile on his face.

"Students, be quiet!"

"Let me introduce to you, the person next to me is your senior brother, Wu Yuan, director Wu, who is a 98-level director in the director department of our Film Academy!"

Wu Yuan also showed a kind smile and nodded at the students in the classroom.

"Hi everyone, I'm director Wu Yuan."

The students who were chattering and discussing various celebrity gossips all fell silent in an instant, leaving only dumbfounded faces.

Wu Yuan looked at this scene with some amusement, and sighed inwardly.

Not to mention, it is indeed an actor class, all of them are handsome men and beautiful women. Even if their expressions are dull and dumbfounded, they still look very pleasing to the eye!

　This chapter is 3300 words, and the main point is to write it all in one go!

　　Don't worry, the rehearsal of the play is just an opportunity, an opportunity to lead to Wu Yuan's next movie, and I won't really write more than ten chapters of the play, I know everyone is not interested in this.
