director of the millennium

Chapter 93: Brother, please give me some advice!

Beijing Film Academy, in the small auditorium.

All the students in the performance class of level 02 stood under the stage anxiously, looked up at the figure standing on the stage, their faces were full of anticipation.

But Wu Yuan, who was standing on the stage, looked around at the students below the stage, but sighed in his heart.

Sure enough, there are so many hidden gems.

Wu Yuan spent the whole afternoon interviewing all 30 students, and none of them surprised him.

Including squad leader Cao Zheng, his performance can only be described as mediocre.

In comparison, Zhu Yawen's script skills are obviously better than other students, and Luo Jin's acting skills are quite good. They are both relatively talented. It's no wonder that these two became famous in the industry.

Liu Yifei, who has already acted in two TV series and studied and communicated with many seniors, is the most outstanding among the female classmates.

It can only be said that they are still just a group of freshmen after all, and they have not received enough systematic learning.

Picking up a piece of A4 paper, Wu Yuan glanced at it, and began to read calmly: "Juliet, Liu Yifei."

"Romeo, Zhu Yawen."

"Tybalt, Luo Jin."

"Mercutio, Cao Zheng."

"Rosalan, Zhou Yang."

"Earl Paris..."

"..."

As Wu Yuan expected, after interviewing a group of students from the 02-level acting class, Liu Yifei was the most suitable for the role of Juliet.

Romeo was won by Zhu Yawen, whose line skills were better than Luo Jin's, and even better than Liu Yifei's.

When acting in a drama, the most important thing is the actor's line skills. It can be said that the actor's line level is directly related to the quality of the entire play.

The actor with the best lines skills must be the number one male actor.

Luo Jin could only get the male number two, while the female number two was given to Zhou Yang.

It wasn't that Wu Yuan didn't choose Jiang Yiyan on purpose, but that her acting skills really didn't stand out, so of course Wu Yuan arranged according to his own preferences.

Jiang Yiyan only got the role of Lady Capulet, and she had to play Liu Yifei's mother.

As for the rest of the supporting roles, it was up to Wu Yuan to decide whether they were pleasing to the eye or not.

The "Romeo and Juliet" he rehearses will not rehearse the entire performance for two and a half hours, but will only select a few important scenes to perform, which will last about an hour.

Most of the supporting roles are only played for a few minutes.

The story mainly revolves around these young people, Romeo, Juliet, Rosalind, and Tybalt.

Of course, the current group of students do not know this situation.

As long as their names can be read by Wu Yuan, no matter how big or small the characters are, they are all very happy!
Those students whose names were not read were, of course, very frustrated and disappointed. A few girls even looked like they were about to shed tears.

This is Wu Yuan's play!
If you miss this opportunity to participate in the performance, what you lose is not just a final stage play, but an opportunity to change your own destiny, and you will regret it for the rest of your life!
"Okay, the students whose names have been read above will gather in the small auditorium every Saturday and Sunday at two o'clock in the afternoon from next week for drama rehearsal."

The list was not long, and Wu Yuan read it in a few seconds.

Seeing the disappointed and sad expressions of the students whose names were not read, Wu Yuan had no choice but to add comfort: "Students whose names were not read should not be discouraged, there will be opportunities in the future."

As for when this will be in the future, Wu Yuan himself doesn't know.

But the consolation effect still took place. The unsuccessful students gathered their mood, nodded to Wu Yuan, and left the small auditorium in twos and threes. The next thing had nothing to do with them.

"Everyone takes back the script according to their own roles. This week, you should read the script thoroughly first, and have your own understanding. Find more "Romeo and Juliet" drama videos to watch."

"After that, I will come to the small auditorium for rehearsal every weekend. I will help you better understand the characters and the plot, and show the best performance."

Looking at the excited faces of Luo Jin and others, Wu Yuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and reiterated with a playful expression: "Students who perform well will have the opportunity to participate in my next movie."

"I can tell you straight away that this movie will be shot during the summer vacation. It is a commercial film, aiming to be the box office champion this year!"

Although "Hero" was only released in February, it is considered a movie released in 2, and it was the box office champion in the Mainland in 2002!

Since Wu Yuan wants to make a commercial movie in China, he must aim at the championship!
As soon as he said these words, Luo Jin, Zhu Yawen, Zhou Yang and others felt as if they had been given chicken blood. Their little heads were nodding, and they made up their minds in their hearts. Even if they didn't eat or sleep, they would still put this drama into perspective. Well done!

Liu Yifei also looked at Wu Yuan with bright eyes, and almost wrote "Choose me! Choose me!" on his face.

"Okay, let's do this first." Wu Yuan looked at Luo Jin and the others who were motivated by him, nodded in satisfaction, turned around and left the small auditorium.

Seeing that Wu Yuan was leaving, Liu Yifei was in a hurry.

She walked to the table with the script in two or two steps, held Juliet's script in her arms, and immediately caught up with Wu Yuan.

Luo Jin and others looked at Liu Yifei who was chasing after him quickly, feeling curious and puzzled.

"Qianqian knows Director Wu?" Zhu Yawen touched the back of his head and looked at Jiang Yan and Zhou Yang in confusion, wanting to get the answer.

But both of them shook their heads with the same blank expression.

At the entrance of the small auditorium, Liu Yifei caught up with Wu Yuan.

"Brother! I want to ask you something." Panting slightly, Liu Yifei shouted.

Wu Yuan paused, turned his head and glanced at her, although a bit strange, but still nodded: "Let's talk while walking."

Taking another step, the two walked side by side to the doctoral student apartment building.

Since that text message exchange, Liu Yifei has not had any form of communication with Wu Yuan.

After boldly calling out Wu Yuan, Liu Yifei hesitated a little and didn't know how to open the topic for a while.

When she didn't speak, Wu Yuan had nothing to say. He and Liu Yifei were not familiar with each other.

The two walked side by side in silence for a while, and Liu Yifei, who had organized her speech, carefully raised her head and glanced at Wu Yuan's profile.

After confirming that Wu Yuan seemed to be in a good mood, she said softly, "Brother, thank you for your guidance."

"When I was on the crew of "Dragon and Babu", I followed what you taught, and learned to act from the seniors of the crew, and I would come to watch the show when there was no show."

"I have indeed learned a lot of acting skills from my seniors, and I have gained a lot of insights into the profession of actors."

Just for this?
Wu Yuan looked at Liu Yifei in surprise. The little girl was quite polite.

Nodding slightly, Wu Yuan said with a smile: "I just mentioned it casually. Of course it would be best for you to listen."

"Now is the time when you need to learn more. Learn more about acting from your seniors. It will never be wrong to lay a good foundation."

"Yeah." Liu Yifei nodded her head happily, agreeing very much with Wu Yuan's words. In her heart, she really wanted to do a good job as an actress and become an actor like Gong Huang, and she was willing to keep working hard for this.

but
Liu Yifei scratched her head, smiled coquettishly, and said without confidence: "Brother, Brother Zhiying introduced me to two movies from Baodao. After my mother read the script, she was very satisfied and wanted to help me pick it up. Play these two plays.”

"But I think you are more right. My acting skills are not very good yet, and I haven't learned much in school. I am not qualified to be a movie heroine yet. I should focus more on my studies."

"But."

Liu Yifei really had no confidence in her heart.

Although she has already acted in two TV series and is also eager to make movies, she has never played a leading role as a heroine before. Both TV series played important female supporting roles.

Now, the heroines of two movies came to her door. Her first thought was actually that she was afraid that she would not be able to catch them and screw up the two movies.

That's why she approached Senior Brother Wu.

Among the people she knew, Senior Brother was the most authoritative in the film field, even more authoritative than the teacher.

Liu Yifei hopes that this internationally renowned director can give her some guidance.

If Wu Yuan didn't suggest her to act in these two films, she would have something to say when she went home and talked with her mother.

Isn't senior brother more farsighted than mother?
Her senior brother didn’t recommend her to take on these two dramas, so her mother must reconsider it, right?

If Wu Yuan suggested that she take the job, that would be great. It means that her acting skills have been recognized by her senior brother and she is capable of playing the leading role in a movie!
It's just that it's even more impossible.
Liu Yifei said half of what she wanted to say, and Wu Yuan knew what she wanted to say.

After she finished speaking, Wu Yuan rolled his eyes and asked back: "What's good about Baodao's movies?"

"Can it be released in mainland China?"

"It may not even be shown on Hong Kong Island, right?"

"Who did you take the picture for?"

　I saw that some readers thought that it would be inappropriate to change "Your Name" to a real person because the male and female protagonists in the movie would cheat!Live-action movie protagonists can easily find where their heroines live.

　　This is really a misunderstanding. The blurring of the stream of consciousness in the movie has nothing to do with whether it is an anime or not. It is because the two of them swapping bodies is a "dream". After waking up from the dream, it will be blurred, so they can't remember each other's information. clear.

　　No matter how you watch the movie, you don’t take it seriously. The director emphasized this many times with the help of the heroine’s grandmother’s words.

　　Even if it is changed to a live-action version, this point must still be retained. The male and female protagonists swap bodies in a dream, and when they wake up, it is like a dream. Some things are vaguely remembered, so they have never been able to find each other.
