Full-time actor

Chapter 83 【82】Robbing someone! Nortel and China Theater are competing for people!
  ""Sorrowful Middle Age"?"

"Good guy, I'm very suspicious of this candidate's family background? This... this seems to be a mainland movie before liberation!"

"What?! From the mainland?"

"Or before liberation, before 49?"

"Yes, it was filmed in 48 and released in 49, directed by his second favorite director!"

"..."

Countless instructors took a collective breath.

This... such an ancient movie?
  Push directly to before liberation?

How could a movie be made in such an environment?
  Where did you see this kid?

Countless people couldn't help but have questions in their hearts, and several mentors even looked at the director of this movie, who is also one of Chen Yu's favorite directors - Sang Hu!
  "Sang Hu?"

"Oh oh oh, I remembered, Director Sang!"

A mentor immediately reacted. The name Sang Hu was still very famous in the circle.

He has been one of the judges for several Golden Rooster Awards, and with his qualifications, he is definitely one of the founders of the Chinese film industry. Even Xie Jing just now is considered a junior among juniors in front of him.

This director was in the same period as Guan Yunzhu, Ruan Lingyu, and Hu Die.

A big shot in China's glorious movie star period in the 30s.

"The one who fell in love with Zhang Ailing?"

"Yes!"

The eldest mentor in the room smiled: "Zhang Ailing has always been one of Mr. Sang Hu's favorite screenwriters. Even "Middle Age" seems to have been written by Zhang Ailing and Sang Hu's idea!"

"Although when the movie was released, the screenwriter was listed as Sang Hu, many scholars who study Zhang Ailing's literature have determined that the real screenwriter of this drama should be Zhang Ailing!"

"And someone once asked Eileen Chang for confirmation, and she herself admitted it!"

"what?"

Is there another version of this story in this movie?

Many instructors obviously didn't expect that Chen Yu's second movie would be so famous?

A movie written by Zhang Ailing?

"And this Chen Yu must have seen this movie. His comments are very pertinent!"

[The words "Middle Age" are extremely powerful. At the historical node of 49, Director Sang Hu depicted two social scenes, using ethical liberation to reflect the development of the times. The depth of field and transition techniques are beyond Times, this movie will never be outdated, or even ahead of its time...]

"I almost forgot the plot of this movie, but now I remember it. The lines are very advanced and really resemble Zhang Ailing's style!"

The older tutor smiled and looked at Chen Yu's other questions and answers, but he became more and more satisfied.

"These days, there are not many students studying our own films in Mainland China!"

"In fact, many high-quality film shooting and editing techniques in Baodao, including Xiangjiang, were passed down from the mainland. After the liberation in 49, a large number of filmmakers went to Baodao, and the films they shot after that were all based on Sang. Arc the shadow of these directors!"

"Look at Li Yu's father's trilogy "Pushing Hands", "The Wedding Banquet" and "Eating Man and Woman". They are exactly the same as several films directed by Sang Hu, in terms of color, tone, depth of field, transitions, etc., they are all the same!"

"Even the training of the actors, Lang Xiong, the male lead in the trilogy, has more or less the shadow of Mr. Shi Hui, the emperor of the drama "Middle Age"!"

Shi Hui is also Chen Yu's favorite actor.

"Li Yu must have studied Director Sang's works a lot, but we ourselves have lost our best things..."

The director sighed.

"Pushing Hands", Li Yu's debut novel, once it was released, swept the Golden Horse Awards in Baodao at that time and received ten nominations.

"The Wedding Banquet" was nominated for the Berlin Golden Bear and the Oscar for Best Foreign Language!
  As for the final film "Eat Drink Couple", it was also nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

However, if you watch Li Yu's works after watching Sang Hu's works, you will find that several of Li Yu's early award-winning films were more or less influenced by Sang Hu's.

The traces of borrowing are particularly heavy.

Especially for "Eat, Drink, Man, Woman", the arrangement of the script is almost the same as that of "Middle Age". There are too many similarities, even the jaw-dropping surprise at the end is exactly the same.

Can you say that Li Yu didn't refer to it?

That is to say, now that Li Yu has become the so-called master, no one digs into his past; Director Sang Hu died early, otherwise he would have jumped out and pointed at his nose.

“I give Chen Yu’s test paper full marks for impression!”

The older tutor directly gave the score, and the other tutors also shook their heads. After so much analysis, they obviously knew that the amount of film reading by this student at the moment was probably beyond their ability to catch up.

There is also his favorite actor Shi Hui, who is a genius in mainland China's film industry.

"Well, I get full marks for impression!"

"I took a rough look at the theoretical score, and it seems to be quite high, but I got 1-2 questions wrong..."

Several tutors started talking there, and at this time, the owner of this test paper, Chen Yu, obviously didn't know how much the tutor had been shocked by the test paper he just filled out.

As soon as he walked out of the 205 examination room, he met an acquaintance from Nortel's preliminary and re-examinations - the examiner, Wang Jingsong.

"Hello examiner!"

Chen Yu hurriedly greeted Wang Jingsong politely and was about to step aside to let him go.

Wang Jingsong was also preparing to go to the back of the invigilation classroom. He turned his head when he heard the voice, and then smiled a little: "Chen...Chen Yu, right?"

Wang Jingsong was afraid that he had recognized the wrong person, so he checked again and again.

Chen Yu immediately smiled: "Yes, yes, it's me!"

"You are..."

He pointed to the examination room and said with some confusion: "Late?"

"No, I've finished the exam!"

Chen Yu hurriedly explained there.

"finish exam?"

Wang Jingsong's startled expression was not fake. He looked at his watch. Didn't the exam only last 25 minutes?

Seeing the surprise on Wang Jingsong's face, Chen Yu quickly said: "I handed in the paper in advance!"

"So long in advance..."

It’s not that there are no students who submitted their papers in advance, but isn’t the 25 minutes too fast?
  "Have you finished answering all the questions?"

Wang Jingsong added.

To be honest, he was quite concerned about Chen Yu.

After all, this student's foundation is really good and full of spirituality. He has taught acting for so many years, and to be honest, this is the first time he has seen a student with such excellent basic conditions.

Whether it's body shape, lines, appearance, performance, etc., they are far beyond those of his peers.

Most importantly, he is natural.

What performance touches people the most?

It was definitely not performed, and it was a kind of empathy and substitution that made people feel that he was not acting like it, but that this was how he should be.

This is natural acting.

Chen Yu's non-physical performance left a deep impression on Wang Jingsong; of course, there was also the poem reciting Li Bai's "The Wine Will Come in". He was very surprised by his line skills and voice changes. Not to mention "Confucianism in Confucius".

"The answer is over, the answer must be over!"

Chen Yu could see Wang Jingsong's concern for him.

Although Nortel also has entangled interests, a school is a school, and many teachers still take great care of their students.

Unlike the entertainment industry, too many interests come first.

In the ivory tower, a pure teacher-student relationship was still normal in 02, and Nortel certainly had it.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be many directors who would go to their alma maters to find new talents needed for films. These are often recommended by school leaders and teachers; for example, Huang Xiaoming and Chen Kun were recommended by their teachers.

At a time when traffic is not yet popular, the best way to recruit new actors is to go to major film and television academies to recruit new actors.

Because many movies and TV series do require boys and girls aged around 16-25.

"Your speed is quite fast!"

"How's it going? I feel like I passed the exam!"

Wang Jingsong had nothing to do in his spare time. Anyway, other instructors were monitoring and grading; the examination later was the highlight of his responsibility.

The most important thing was that he did have something to say to Chen Yu; since they met here, it was a good time to chat.

"Okay!"

Chen Yu was talking casually, but Wang Jingsong seemed to think of something "suddenly" and said: "Oh, by the way, I heard that you also passed the Chinese Opera exam?"

"..."

It seemed like an ordinary and subconscious question, but Chen Yu felt that this was what Wang Jingsong wanted to ask him.

The news of the launch of "Cara is a Dog" actually did not cause any turmoil in society.

Many people forget about him at one glance, or even remember who Chen Yu is.

But everyone in the circle knows how to pass it on from person to person, and everyone will know it soon; especially Wang Jingsong is in charge of the art exam, so when people around him see the news, they will definitely ask him.

Over and over again, it was difficult for him not to want to know.

He even knew that Chen Yu had starred in the new film "Kara is a Dog" produced by Feng Xiaogang.

Wang Jingsong and Feng Xiaogang are actually very familiar with each other personally. Not only have they guest-starred in his films before, but their old friend, the famous director Huang Jianxin, is also the producer of Feng Xiaogang's "Big Shot".

"Haha, don't worry about it. It's normal to take the National Theater and Nortel exams at the same time. Basically, most art candidates take the exams at the same time!"

Wang Jingsong said so.

But in fact, other people are normal, but Chen Yu is not normal.

Just because he played really well.

So good that Wang Jingsong became interested in talents and wanted to recruit Chen Yu into Nortel's performance department.

"Yes, I have applied to both schools!"

"Have you decided which one to take?"

Wang Jingsong looked at Chen Yu with a somewhat reserved look. Chen Yu shook his head: "No, you may not be able to pass the three tests..."

"..."

Wang Jingsong looked at Chen Yu playfully. This boy was quite smooth.

Play with me, click me, right?

I am the examiner. Do I know if you can pass?

I know even if you don’t know!

"What if you pass all three tests?"

Wang Jingsong chuckled, but he didn't force Chen Yu to express his opinion immediately: "I heard that the role in Director Feng's new film was recommended to you by China Theater Company?"

I rely on!

Are there any secrets left in this circle?
  Chen Yu was really convinced, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "Indeed, it was Teacher Chang Li who gave me this opportunity!"

"Teacher Chang Li..."

Of course Wang Jingsong knew her, and she was considered his senior in the circle.

"It means that you have indeed caught her eye. Act well. Director Lu's film will win an award if nothing else happens!"

There are many subtexts in Wang Jingsong's words, and Chen Yu can certainly understand them.

If you perform well and win Best Newcomer at a film festival, it will definitely be a very distinctive resume.

Although it is just a small Best Newcomer Award, in every Golden Rooster, Golden Statue or Golden Horse, 80% of the best newcomers who will be active in the entertainment industry in the future will become first-tier.

The biggest advantage of this kind of resume is that when many directors make movies and there are no actors available, they will immediately look through the information of previous winners.

After all, the Best Newcomer award is enough to show that his acting skills are recognized by the public.

This is undoubtedly much better than looking for an actor like a needle in a haystack.

"I...I know, I will think about this role carefully!"

Although the filming has been completed, it does not prevent Chen Yu from saying this.

He didn't talk about acting well, but started working on the role; the difference between these few words already made Wang Jingsong a little impressed.

This shows that Chen Yu is really considering his words seriously.

Instead of saying a very perfunctory or flattering statement - well, I will definitely perform well.

If you act well, how should you act?

Of course, put it on the character.

This is the key.

"I also have a chance here. Do you want to try it?"

Wang Jingsong suddenly made a comeback, and while he was calm, he burst into thunder.

"..."

Chen Yu raised his head, thinking he had heard wrongly.

Are you... so popular now?

Both examiners are vying for it?
  Do Nortel and China National Theater have such traditions and precedents?
  "Don't rush to answer me now, prepare for the exam!"

"After three trials, tell me the answer!"

pat!

Wang Jingsong patted Chen Yu's shoulder hard and walked away.

Only Chen Yu was left, a little messy in the wind... What he did was a little caught off guard!

　No, this regular update is not suitable for me. I am procrastinating, so I might as well write one chapter after another...
