Chapter 111: The Classic

After discussing the previous three roles, it was the turn of the male and female leads' daughter, Shi Jing.

Wu Yuchen took the initiative to say: "Two, I have a suitable candidate for Shi Jing here."

After he finished speaking, he called Li Xiaoran, who was waiting in the next room, over. Wu Yuchen introduced:

"This is Li Xiaoran. Her father is a soldier, and she herself grew up in a military compound. It can be said that she has a similar growth experience to Shi Jing. So I think she is quite suitable for the role of Shi Jing."

Li Xiaoran also took the initiative to bow to the two: "Director Kang, Producer Meng!"

She had no emotions about playing this role. Mainly, she was not from a professional class, and she didn't have the arrogance of looking down on TV series. After all, more than half a year ago, she was still running a dragon set, and she knew how difficult it was. Without relying on Wu Yuchen, she couldn't even touch such a role now.

And Li Xiaoran now knew that there were still many deficiencies in her acting skills, and she also believed that the arrangement Wu Yuchen made for her was definitely no problem.

Seeing this, Meng Fanyao took the initiative to smile and said: "Isn't this the heroine of your 'Run Luo La Run', Wu Dao? I didn't expect her to be so suitable. If she can come to play, we will definitely welcome her with both hands!"

As a producer, Meng Fanyao's brain was still very clear. Not to mention whether it was suitable or not, now that someone invested 5 million, what's wrong with wanting a second female lead?

Not to mention that Li Xiaoran was not a pure newcomer. She had just starred in "Run Luo La Run", and the experience Wu Yuchen said was similar. What is there to refuse!

It was Kang Honglei who stood up and squeezed out a sentence: "Can you change into a military coat and see?"

Wu Yuchen patted Li Xiaoran: "Go to the next room, put on the clothes, and wear the hat."

"No problem!" Li Xiaoran said and went back to change clothes.

Meng Fanyao pulled Kang Honglei, and then said to Wu Yuchen: "Wu Dao, Xiao Kang has this stinky temper..."

Wu Yuchen smiled and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, I appreciate Director Kang's serious attitude towards the play!"

He still had this bit of confidence. Li Xiaoran was indeed suitable for this role, so he recommended her. The daughter of a 20-year soldier was not for nothing!

The role of Shi Jing is beautiful, generous, smart, kind, upright, enthusiastic, and sincere. In the words of the male lead Shi Guangrong: I don't think any family's girl can compare to my daughter. She is not only the male lead's little cotton-padded jacket, but also the little cotton-padded jacket in the audience's heart. She is the most popular character in the whole play.

Therefore, Wu Yuchen naturally wanted to give this role to his woman.

After a while, Li Xiaoran walked in again, wearing a 65-style olive green military uniform, wearing a cashmere military hat, looking beautiful, generous, and heroic, which made people's eyes shine.

Meng Fanyao directly applauded: "Good! Very good, I don't think there is anything else to say, it is Shi Jing herself!"

Wu Yuchen looked at Kang Honglei, who also nodded with a smile this time.

After the actors for these four main roles were set, it was actually about the same. However, Wu Yuchen thought of a role with few scenes but left a very deep impression on the audience, so he couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Lei, who do you plan to find for the role of Hu Dakai?"

Hu Dakai is Shi Jing's first love, but because of his broken leg on the battlefield, he took the initiative to give up his love for Shi Jing, letting her wait for 7 years. The relationship between them is also the biggest regret and unwillingness in the audience's heart. But the more this is the case, the more it can leave a deep impression on the audience!

Kang Honglei said: "The role of Hu Dakai has a tough and firm side, and at the same time, he is tender. I want to invite Ding Haifeng, who just played Wu Song in 'Water Margin'."

"Good, the one who can play Wu Song should not be wrong!" Hearing this answer, Wu Yuchen was directly relieved.

Ding Haifeng can be said to be a professional tough guy or a professional soldier later. His image is very suitable, and his acting skills are also good. And the original version was played by him, and the effect was very good.

Subsequently, several people had a detailed discussion on the shooting plan. This TV series needs to run to many places for scenery. It is really tossing to shoot it down.

That night, Wu Yuchen lay on the bed and hugged Li Xiaoran and said:

"I won't tell you much about the role. Kang Honglei is a capable person, and most of the people in this play are old drama bones. You should practice hard after joining the group. This TV series will not be bad."

Li Xiaoran nestled in his arms and nodded silently, then said faintly: "It's just a bit reluctant."

"You can't always film my plays. There are still many other good directors and good plays. Different directors and different styles can also experience more, which is conducive to your development."

Wu Yuchen comforted Li Xiaoran. This kind of thing cannot be avoided. Waiting for his plays would take until the Year of the Monkey. He doesn't look for his own woman for every play. If it's not suitable, he doesn't use it.

Li Xiaoran cut: "Smelly beauty, who said I'm reluctant to part with you!"

Wu Yuchen raised his eyebrows: "Then what are you talking about?"

"I'm reluctant to part with the computer~" Li Xiaoran said and giggled.

"Okay, you heartless thing!" Wu Yuchen was furious, and directly turned over and pressed on Li Xiaoran amidst her laughter.

"......"

In the screening hall of the Central Academy of Drama, amidst applause, Wu Yuchen, who had just finished answering questions, walked off the stage.

"No wonder he can win the Berlin Best Director. I really didn't expect that movies could be shot like this!"

"Yes, I was stunned. This 'Run Luo La Run' is completely different from domestic movies in the past! How can this be thought of! Too awesome!"

"Avant-garde film, really avant-garde! I saw in 'Film Weekly' that it is considered very innovative in the whole world, so it can win both Best Director and Jury!"

"Is this heroine from our school or Tao Jingying Academy?"

"Tao Jingying Academy, but I heard it's not an undergraduate class, it's an advanced class."

"Advanced class! Good guy, this Wu Dao's vision and ability to train actors are really amazing!"

The students sitting in the audience hadn't dispersed yet, and were still discussing enthusiastically. Today, they finally watched this "Run Luo La Run" that won big awards on the spot. It lived up to its reputation!

At this time, a group of boys in the 96 class were also discussing:

"Enjoyable! This film's taste is too much to my appetite. I have been climaxing from beginning to end!" Dang Hao patted his thigh excitedly.

"Dang Hao, don't pat my thigh when you climax!"

Chen Minghao pushed his claws away, and seeing Liu Ye stunned next to him, asked: "Ye Zi, why, are you stunned?"

"Ah? Hmm..."

Liu Ye responded absent-mindedly. In fact, he was thinking in his mind, isn't this the person who ran to find himself to chat after crying on Shichahai Lake at the end of last year? I shouldn't have misread it, right?

Chen Minghao didn't pay attention to him when he saw it, and sighed: "Can't compare, can't compare! In the future, those who still have fantasies about beautiful Zeng should also extinguish their fire!"

"Ah? What do you mean?" Liu Ye asked.

Dang Hao patted Liu Ye on the head:

"You only know how to play ball all day long. Haven't you heard the girls in our class say it? The man who sent Zeng Damei when she entered school is this Wu Yuchen on the stage just now!"

"Ah? Is it him?!" Liu Ye said with his mouth open in surprise.

"Every day, you are rehearsing with Zhang Ziyi. Go and ask her yourself later."

Chen Minghao saw Liu Ye's bitter face and smiled and touched his shoulder: "Yo, Leaf, I didn't see that you also have a crush on Zeng Damei!"

"Go away!"

Liu Ye pushed him away angrily. He didn't like Zeng Li, but thought that if it was really this Wu Yuchen that night, then his crying outside in the middle of the night wouldn't definitely be known by Zeng Li?

The more Liu Ye thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. No wonder Zeng Li laughed when she saw him a few times before. She must be laughing at herself. If Zeng Li told other girls, how could he stay in school?

The more he thought about it, the more ashamed he felt, only feeling that he was going to die socially in the class. Or should he just drop out?

At this time, Zeng Li and Wu Yuchen, whom Liu Ye was worried about, were walking shoulder to shoulder and chatting.

"It's more bitter than when I practice drama. I have to stay up late to rehearse every day. Sometimes I stay up until two or three o'clock, and I have to get up for morning practice before seven o'clock in the morning. Everyone in our class is complaining, and several are shouting to drop out."

Wu Yuchen smiled when he heard Zeng Li's complaints. Due to the existence of the elimination system, the Central Academy of Drama is indeed much more rolled than the Tao Jingying Academy.

The Tao Jingying Academy is relatively much looser. Yan Danchen was approved to go out to film in his freshman year, and also won the Huabiao Award for Best Newcomer.

Wu Yuchen asked: "Then do you think it's interesting?"

Zeng Li thought for a while before saying: "In the first semester, I felt bitter and tormented, but now that I practice, I feel like I have some feelings."

"You guys, the current state is pain and happiness. After the freshman final exam, you will almost be in state." Wu Yuchen guided.

He also had to admit that the high-pressure strict management of the Central Academy of Drama would indeed make students' foundation more solid. The only bad thing is that some opportunities are definitely gone. For example, he now wants to provide Zeng Li with any opportunities, but he can't.

Wu Yuchen shook his head and asked: "Hey, how is Liu Ye now?"

Zeng Li smiled when she heard it: "Several of the people I just mentioned who were shouting to drop out include him. I heard from Ziyi that he was scolded by his father on the phone yesterday, asking him to read the diploma no matter what."

Wu Yuchen also smiled when he heard it. The current undergraduate diploma is still quite valuable. Parents value this the most. Even if they don't want to be actors in the future, it is easy to find other jobs.

"Lizi, when you hand in your big homework at the end of the term, I will come to see it."

"Ah? What's good about this? We are still rehearsing sketches now~"

Zeng Li felt a bit embarrassed when she heard it. After all, Wu Yuchen is now a person who films movies and won the Berlin Best Director. Coming to see their student big homework like playing house...

"Hehe, don't worry, I will say I'm here to examine actors!" Wu Yuchen said with a smile.

Seeing this, Zeng Li didn't say anything more, just thinking he was concerned about herself.

However, Wu Yuchen said he was here to examine actors, which was not a joke. He just wanted to see how several boys, including Liu Ye and Qin Hao, were doing now.

After parting with Zeng Li, Wu Yuchen went back and continued to take out the love movie script he was creating, thinking intently.

On the cover was written the movie name, "The Classic".

That's right, it is this pure love movie that moved countless literary young women in those years and made people feel sad after watching it.

Singer Li Jian particularly likes this movie and specifically covered the theme song, which is called "The Classic", and also used it as the promotion area for John Woo's "The Crossing". To some extent, this can also be considered a combination of bad movie divine songs.

"The Classic" also promoted the heroine Son Ye-jin to the whole of Asia, and because of this, she became the "first love goddess" in many people's hearts.

Son Ye-jin is called Son Fairy by her fans because she is beautiful and has a fairy-like temperament. However, in terms of appearance, Jiang Qinqin is not inferior to Son Ye-jin, and in terms of temperament, her Xi Shi is also full of fairy spirit.

This movie actually requires the heroine to be pure and sweet enough, which is also the part that Wu Yuchen asked Jiang Qinqin to prepare mainly.

Of course, besides the heroine, the male lead is indispensable in the movie. There are 3 important male characters, among which the country silly boy is the most important.

The male lead of a love movie, even if he is a poor boy from the countryside, is earthy, but at least he must look good. This is the basis for the audience to have a romantic feeling.

This requirement comes out. He must look good, but also have a simple atmosphere, and at the same time be a bit silly and cute.

With so many conditions coming out, the first person Wu Yuchen thought of in his mind was Liu Ye. No way, this guy's image and temperament are indeed very suitable!

It is also this role. If Chen Kun goes to play it, it won't work. The temperament doesn't match.

Actually, in terms of image and temperament, Qin Hao in their class is also not bad, but compared to Liu Ye, he looks less silly. This is also why Wu Yuchen wants to see their big homework at the end of the term. He really wants to see how Liu Ye is now, and at the same time examine other people in their class such as Qin Hao.

Forget it for now, don't disturb them. After all, they all have to prepare for the freshman big homework at the end of the term, so don't disturb their mentality. The Central Academy of Drama may not necessarily break the freshman elimination system for him.

Currently, Wu Yuchen's attention is on modifying the script. The background of this story is 1968 in South Korea. The male and female leads are in school. The male lead later went to the battlefield to fight in the Vietnam War. South Korea participated in the Vietnam War, with more than 50,000 people in Vietnam at the most, and one-tenth died in battle.

If you want to change it to a Chinese background, you can't directly set this time, you must make changes. It is best to change the start time of the story to 1976 or 77, because there must be things between the male and female leads at school, and also avoid the special period.

The original heroine's family background is that her grandfather is a high-ranking official in South Korea. This doesn't need much change. Change it to the heroine's grandfather being a big figure who was rehabilitated. This situation was very normal at that time. For example, the male lead background of the movie "Lushan Love" is like this. In this way, the reason why the heroine came to the countryside at the beginning is explained, so she met the male lead. It is also understandable that the gap between the male lead and the heroine's family was later forced to separate.

As for the war that the male lead participated in later, the battlefield was also set in Vietnam, but it was changed to the 1979 self-defense counterattack against Vietnam. Then everything is right, and the story background is completely consistent.

The rest is to polish the details of the plot and story.

A bit stuck, that's all for today... ===== CHAPTER 112 =====
