Chapter 110: Recommended for Postgraduate Study and Role Assignment

February and March of each year are the times for art exam interviews. At this time, students from all over the country who harbor artistic dreams and want to enter the Tao Jingying Academy gather at the gate of the Tao Jingying Academy.

But now these students are all attracted by the two long and very eye-catching red banners hanging at the school gate.

"Warmly congratulate our school's outstanding student Wu Yuchen for winning the Best Director Award at the 47th Berlin International Film Festival!"

"Warmly congratulate our school's outstanding student Wu Yuchen for winning the Jury Silver Bear Grand Prix at the 47th Berlin International Film Festival with 'Run Luo La Run'!"

Some candidates were confused and hadn't heard of the name of the three major European festivals, and were embarrassed to ask people around them, but just looking at the banners, they felt it was quite powerful.

Some had already boldly asked the Tao Jingying Academy students who were doing guidance work:

"Senior, hello, is this Berlin Film Festival, and the Silver Bear Award, very powerful?"

Huang Huang Xiao Ming raised his chin upon hearing this, and a slightly evil smile appeared on his face:

"More than powerful, it's especially powerful! The three major European film festivals are the highest halls of art films! Being able to win Best Director here proves that he is the most outstanding director in the world!"

The surrounding students opened their mouths, revealing shocked eyes. Someone boldly asked: "Then is he more powerful than Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou?"

She asked: "Who am I playing? Shi Jing?"

Wu Yuchen paced back and forth a few times, thinking about the setting of the heroine of "The Burning Years", and then said:

Jiang Qinqin affectionately hugged Wu Yuchen's arm and said: "Shasha must be regretting to death, not being able to be selected as Luo La, missing such a good opportunity..."

After all, this is the Berlin Film Festival!

Zhang Yimou also became a major domestic director after winning the Jin Xiong in Berlin with "Red Sorghum".

Seeing this, Wu Yuchen said:

"It's nothing, it's just that she was still hugging you in a group photo of you guys in the newspaper." Jiang Qinqin said, hugging Wu Yuchen's arm tighter.

"Then let's use Li Youbin. What about the heroine?" Wu Yuchen was quite at ease with Li Youbin and decided directly.

"The one I fancy is Chen Jin, born in '64. She comes from a military family and was assigned to the Air Force Drama Troupe after graduation, so she knows military wives very well, and her temperament is very consistent. Her acting experience is also rich, and there is no problem with her acting skills."

"Teacher Wu? Senior, isn't this written as an in-school student?"

He threw this thing out of his mind. Actually, Zhang Kaili did become popular very early. In 1990, she became popular all over the country with the heroine of the TV series "Yearning", and also won the Golden Eagle Award and the Spring Swallow Cup.

As the first TV series of Miracle Film and Television, Wu Yuchen was quite attentive to "The Burning Years".

When Wu Yuchen heard the name Yin Xiaotian, he couldn't help but think of those few goods in the tea knife. This child also made friends carelessly. Originally, he was developing quite well, but he was stabbed in the ribs by so-called good brothers, and also led a large number of passersby to attack him. In the end, although the injustice was cleared with the video, no one apologized to him, including the netizens who scolded him at the time who didn't want to admit that they were blind. This caused his career to stop for several years.

"It's okay, he will be released to our school in a few days."

Zeng Li was already immune to the jokes of these roommates. At this moment, she was also looking at a report about Wu Yuchen's interview in her hand and laughing involuntarily.

At this time, Wu Yuchen was sitting with Kang Honglei and producer Meng Fanyao to discuss.

It was over when she didn't pass the interview at the time, but now that Mei Ting saw the news of "Run Luo La Run" winning a big award in Berlin, a strong regret and remorse rose from her heart. Was it because she was still hesitant because the school didn't allow going out to film, which led to her poor performance in the interview?

The more Mei Ting thought about it, the more she felt that the school's regulation of not allowing filming was a shackle for her. Recently, she received an invitation from Director Ye Daying, whom she had cooperated with before, to audition for the heroine of "Red Romance". The male lead was Leslie Cheung. Mei Ting, who was originally a bit hesitant, immediately firmed up her confidence. Even if she dropped out this time, she would go to film!

It was Qin Hailu, who was hit by her classmates because of her appearance shortly after entering school. She, who had given up early, was quite open-minded and shouted:

"Lizi, don't say anything else! In the future, if your boyfriend's movie has any suitable bit parts, I'll run a dragon set!"

And Wu Yuchen planned to shoot it in advance this year, and take it out when there is a suitable opportunity next year, and it could take off with the love trend brought by "Titanic".

Wu Yuchen glanced at Jiang Qinqin, looking at her envious eyes, and felt that what she said was Chen Shasha, but actually it was herself, right?

Wu Yuchen hooked his finger and scraped her Qiong nose, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the script I promised you last time is still being written."

Hearing Wu Yuchen say this, Jiang Qinqin no longer hid her thoughts: "Then when will it be filmed?"

Her appearance was obviously a bit disappointed, feeling that it was definitely not as good as "Run Luo La Run".

But now Jiang Qinqin seems to be following him into the movie, a bit looking down on TV series.

However, the most complicated mood at this time was Mei Ting. She had specifically gone to audition for "Run Luo La Run", and Wu Yuchen's final reply to her was that her image was passable, but her temperament was not very consistent, and she didn't have Luo La's momentum of going forward.

"'Run Luo La Run' harvests two big Silver Bears, the youngest Berlin Best Director is born! The rise of China's Sixth Generation directors!" —— "China Film News"

"This role has just been auditioned. We both think the most suitable one is Yin Xiaotian, a junior at the Central Academy of Drama."

It's no wonder he asked. This kid is really too productive, one after another like a sow giving birth.

"I believe in the acting skills of both of them, no need to consider this. But the heroine Chu Qin is a woman as beautiful as a lilac flower, so she can attract Shi Guangrong to identify with her even if he grabs a marriage. So from the image point of view, I think He Saifei is more suitable, she is more beautiful. What do you think?"

He was not surprised that "Run Luo La Run" entered the lesson plan. After all, this film was known as a must-learn subject for screenwriting and directing classes in his past life, and it was still the same 20 years later. It was really classic enough.

Shi Lin is the son of the male and female leads. He is a military son who has been rebellious and loves to cause trouble since he was a child. In his past life, he was played by Huang Haibo, which was also a role that made him stand out.

Hou Keming asked casually: "Do you want to continue filming recently?"

Shi Jing is the daughter of the male and female leads in the play. In terms of billing, she counts as the second lead.

And last year, she also starred in a movie "Military Wife", which won the "Five Ones" and the Huabiao Award for Best Feature Film. Therefore, Zhang Kaili's salary is really quite high now.

This role is quite good, a courageous and strong female soldier. After it was broadcast, it was very popular with the audience. Actually, Zeng Li is quite suitable, but due to the regulation that freshmen at the Central Academy of Drama cannot go out to take roles, she cannot be found.

If this were an ordinary actress, say those roommates of hers, then if she encountered such a role, she would definitely have to consider it seriously.

"Okay, you know the measure yourself. Are you still going for awards this time?" Hou Keming was curious.

Jiang Qinqin nodded, and then asked: "Then can this movie win awards at the three major festivals?"

As Wu Yuchen became a popular figure in the school over the past year, and his name was raised step by step, he and Jiang Qinqin didn't walk around the school much now, and would always become the object of others' attention. If there was too much attention, it would be uncomfortable.

Wu Yuchen chose to shoot a love movie, which naturally had a purpose. Next year, "Titanic" will be released, which will stimulate the entire market's demand for love movies. But the domestic film circle doesn't pay attention to love themes at all, and there are very few domestic love films. When the time comes, the audience won't be able to find them.

Wu Yuchen's heart jumped, and he said with a smile: "Are you talking about Sister Ranran? We are about the same age, and we grew up playing together. Our relationship is very good. What's wrong?"

However, listening to the meaning, it should not have been invited. Actually, Wu Yuchen felt that Zhang Kaili might not necessarily be very suitable for this role.

"Ah? I still want to see it!"

It's no wonder they wanted to invite Zhang Kaili. After all, isn't the heroine of "The Burning Years" a military wife?

"Judging from the audition effect, Li Youbin is better, and he is also very attentive to this role."

"Love?"

Li Youbin is really not expensive now. He became popular after filming "Drawing Sword" and "Chuang Guandong" in succession, which established his position.

Wu Yuchen was stunned for a moment, and smiled bitterly: "Dean Hou, there is no need for this, right? I feel that time is not enough now. If I am asked to study for a postgraduate degree, it is really..."

Many people may not be familiar with this name, but Wu Yuchen knows that this acting skill is really impeccable. She is called the female version of Chen Daoming and is one of the few actors in China who has won the Grand Slam of Golden Rooster, Magnolia, Golden Eagle, and Huabiao. If you want to talk about the roles she is familiar with, such as Su Mu in "All Is Well".

On the other side, in the girls' dormitory of the Central Academy of Drama, Zhang Ziyi, Qin Hailu, and other girls each held a newspaper.

At this very moment, in the Dean's office of the Tao Jingying Academy, Hou Keming was in a great mood. Two days ago, the Central Academy of Drama took the initiative to call him, hoping that Wu Yuchen would bring the film to them for screening. The old rival came to the door and begged them to screen it, which naturally made him feel extra refreshed!

He said to Wu Yuchen with a smile: "Little Wu, tell you something, the school decided to recommend you for postgraduate study, you have a psychological preparation."

"I plan to try a love movie." What Wu Yuchen said was the one he planned to prepare for Jiang Qinqin.

"It can't be released, some plots in it don't conform to mainstream values." Zeng Li shook her head. She had already heard Wu Yuchen say this.

"19-year-old director Wu Yuchen captures the Berlin Best Director Silver Bear and returns, setting a record for the three major film festivals!" —— "Global Times"

"Brother Lei, who do you think is the most suitable for the male lead Shi Guangrong?"

Wu Yuchen naturally understood this point, so he didn't want to find trouble. With his current fame, many people will definitely cite or dig up his thesis in the future. He can only write it well himself. Zhai Tianlin's lesson is right there.

And now, looking at the news about Wu Yuchen winning Best Director and Jury Grand Prix with "Run Luo La Run" in the newspaper, their cognition of Wu Yuchen had to be refreshed again.

"......"

Hou Keming raised his eyebrows: "Really? What type is this time?"

"Really! Then we have to grab a good seat in advance!"

Jiang Qinqin felt better after hearing Wu Yuchen say this, and a smile appeared on her face again. Then she asked Wu Yuchen: "Hey, you and your cousin are quite close, right?"

Wu Yuchen nodded: "Then forget it, you should think about the movie."

Jiang Qinqin pouted her little mouth upon hearing this: "Then that means I can't get it?"

Zhang Ziyi, who usually likes to be boisterous, couldn't even make a joke when looking at Zeng Li at this time. Everyone is a classmate, but she has such a boyfriend, how can people compare?!

"I don't know if I can win an award, anyway, it can be released in the cinema, and it can make you a big star. Don't look at 'Run Luo La Run' winning an award, but this film can't be released. Even if you play the heroine, you can't be popular."

"Don't cry miserably, how many days do you seriously attend classes at school now? Which time did you not get leave for filming?" Hou Keming said angrily.

Jiang Qinqin asked: "Then how long will this take to film?"

Wu Yuchen thought for a while and said: "At least until the summer, didn't I tell you the plot story?"

Meng Fanyao gave a thumbs up and agreed with a smile: "That's indeed the truth!"

"I'm sorry, I guess I won't be able to catch up with the exam." Wu Yuchen felt that his postgraduate study was really meaningless, wasting time.

Jiang Qinqin hesitated, and then said: "Then doesn't this conflict with filming?"

But their impression of Wu Yuchen still stayed on the young director who was very talented, and he still couldn't compare with the real big directors.

He Saifei, that is Yang Jiuhong in "The Grand Mansion Gate", is also an old drama bone, and her acting skills are really impeccable.

Hou Keming nodded, and then asked: "Will there be any big scale?"

Wu Yuchen shook his head and said with a smile: "I have ideas, but the script is not finished yet, but I guess I have to go out to take scenery recently."

Now these girls have been shocked beyond measure. Previously, because Zeng Li knew that this Wu Yuchen was a particularly talented director, he won the short film Jin Xiong and the Tokyo Film Festival award in succession.

Then just go and ask Li Xiaoran. Her "Run Luo La Run" can't be released, which still has an impact on her personally. If you really want to support people, to be honest, most domestic movies really can't compare to TV series.

Only then will the people in the circle react and start filming various love themes, and a batch of love films represented by "Lover's Grief over the Yellow River" will emerge in 1999.

"What about Shi Lin?" Wu Yuchen continued to ask.

Seeing this, Wu Yuchen seemed that he had to agree if he didn't agree. He thought about it, the school really gave him great freedom, and except for the thesis, postgraduate study shouldn't affect anything, so he nodded and agreed.

"This is hard to say, winning an award also depends on fate." Wu Yuchen said euphemistically.

Kang Honglei felt that Chen Jin had more of a military wife temperament, but what Wu Yuchen said was also right. He thought about it and agreed: "Then let's set He Saifei."

"All are powerful, Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou have also won awards at the three major festivals, and they are also from our Tao Jingying Academy. Now it's our Teacher Wu's turn to take over!"

Wu Yuchen nodded: "Yes, Shi Jing actually has a lot of scenes, and she is very popular with the audience. If she plays it, she will definitely be popular."

"I also think Li Youbin. He has that kind of recklessness and bad temper during the audition, and he can also perform the iron-boned side, and the salary is not high."

"Okay, you have to study this postgraduate degree, it won't delay your filming. The exam can be arranged for a make-up exam, but you can't be too sloppy with the thesis. After it is written, there will definitely be many people who want to see it."

However, Wu Yuchen didn't say anything. If she didn't want to, forget it, as long as she didn't make a temper with herself.

Wu Yuchen pondered: "It is actually auditioning now. I estimate that the whole preparation will take more than half a month. I can't say for sure about the shooting time, maybe three or four months."

Thinking of Zhang Kaili, the first impression that jumped into Wu Yuchen's mind was actually Zuli Jian. This advertisement is really a bit magical, making people feel a bit disgusted.

Now, as the news of Wu Yuchen winning the award came back, Chen Kun's participation in the shooting of his "My Brothers and Sisters" made Huang Huang Xiao Ming in the same class envious. He also hoped that Teacher Wu would find him!

The surrounding candidates all showed envious eyes when they heard it, and those with active minds had already associated that if they could be admitted to the Tao Jingying Academy, their counselor, even if he couldn't compare to this Wu Yuchen, should also be very powerful, right? Immediately, it further stimulated these people's desire to take the Tao Jingying Academy exam.

"Teacher Hou, don't worry, the scale this time will definitely not be excessive. I also plan to release it in China next year!"

The novel "The Burning Years" has been published. Jiang Qinqin knows that it was written by Wu Yuchen and his father, so naturally, she has read it.

Wu Yuchen smiled and didn't answer, thinking that women are really so sensitive. He changed the subject and asked:

Hou Keming felt a little regretful that Wu Yuchen didn't go for awards this time, but thinking that he couldn't always encourage students to shoot banned films, Wu Yuchen himself was also a person with ideas. If it was within the scale this time, he didn't have to worry about anything, so he said:

"Okay, if you want to ask for leave, go to your Teacher Xie."

"Glory to Berlin, the first Chinese Berlin Film Festival Best Director!" —— "China Youth Daily"

Then, is Wu Yuchen, who won Best Director and Jury, worse than Zhang Yimou at that time? At least it can be compared together, isn't this already a big director?

Wu Yuchen shook his head: "Mine is just an ordinary art love movie, the three major festivals probably won't look at it. At that time, it will also be mainly released in China."

Seeing her appearance, Wu Yuchen knew that she probably didn't want to play much. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, is this little girl now spoiled by himself to be too picky?

"Lizi, when will this movie be released?" Hu Jing couldn't help asking.

Thinking of Li Xiaoran, Wu Yuchen smiled. She went home these few days. It was not easy to make some achievements that could prove herself, so she must show off in front of her parents, and save them from worrying in the future.

Wu Yuchen nodded and looked at producer Meng Fanyao again. He smiled and said:

"I fancy He Saifei, born in '62. Although she is not from a military background, her acting skills are impeccable. And her image is better, and she is more compatible with Li Youbin."

Huang Huang Xiao Ming said proudly: "That's right, but Teacher Wu is our class counselor, that is, our class can call him Teacher Wu!"

"Qinqin, my company is preparing to shoot the TV series 'The Burning Years', do you want to play?"

Then Hou Keming said: "After your movie was screened at school yesterday, it had a great impact on our teaching group. After we discussed it, we felt that the shooting and editing techniques of your 'Run Luo La Run' are worth our promotion, and we plan to put it into our lesson plan in the future."

"We originally wanted to invite Zhang Kaili for the heroine, but after asking, we found that her salary was a bit high."

"Later, many people were invited to audition. We both have one favorite now, and we just want to ask for your opinion." Kang Honglei said.

Wu Yuchen smiled when he heard it: "Tell me about it."

Four or five newspapers, the headlines of the entertainment section of each newspaper are news about Wu Yuchen and "Run Luo La Run".

Hou Keming didn't say that they also planned to put this film into the Tao Jingying Academy's enrollment exam questions in the future. Next year, forget it, the film needs one or two years of diffusion time, and it will officially start the year after next.

He thought about Yin Xiaotian's image and so on, and it seemed that it was really quite suitable, so he nodded and agreed.

It's just that thinking that this role was Huang Haibo in his past life, and this time it was changed to Yin Xiaotian, and both of them had the experience of being pitted, which made Wu Yuchen feel a bit strange in his heart.

I am really speechless. Even the matter of writing about the stabbing knife sect was deleted for me. I am really convinced. ===== CHAPTER 111 =====
