Chapter 600 Graduation Drama
When "The Wheel" premiered, the organizers tried to invite Cheng Yu'an to organize a master forum to talk about the industrialization of Chinese films and their overseas expansion.
But Cheng Yu'an refused without thinking. Firstly, he didn't like Wu Baige. Secondly, it was also because the script of "The Wandering Earth" had to be completely overturned and rewritten. He was too busy and couldn't spare time. Thirdly, he didn't like such a topic.
There has been too much talk in the past two years, and it is nothing more than those things. Cheng Yuan changed the Sino-US co-production agreement and promoted the ladder-sharing experiment. As long as these two policies are promoted properly, they will definitely be more beneficial to the production of domestic blockbusters.
It's bad, so there's nothing to say about it.
He does want to promote film classification, but he also knows that this policy will be a wishful thinking in the next 20 to 30 years.
In order to rewrite the script, Cheng Yuan went back to the college to invite his then screenwriting teacher, Professor Wang Hongwei, to serve as script director.
"Yu'an, don't leave yet." After talking to Teacher Wang, Cheng Yu'an was stopped by Wang Chunzi of the Performance Department, "Grade 11 students are rehearsing their graduation drama. Come with me to see it."
Wang Chunzi graduated from the Performance Department in Grade 11 and is now the head teacher of the Performance Class in Grade 11.
"What can I see?" There are still ten thousand things waiting for him, and Cheng Yu'an really doesn't want to take on other jobs.
"I'm not letting you direct the play, so you just go and watch it, just say a few words. Aren't Nazha and Zhou Dongyu both from your company, so you're not allowed to watch them after they graduate?"
Teacher Wang Hongwei was yelling at the side: "It's impossible if you don't go today. Chunzi has already promised you out. During the rehearsal, she said that she would definitely invite you to watch. If you don't come to the academy today, she will have to go to your company tomorrow.
Looking for you."
Wang Chunzi said with a smile: "I said I would invite you to watch them rehearse. Don't forget how excited these little brats are."
"What's good about me? I don't have many arms and few legs." Cheng Yu'an smiled, "Okay, just take a look."
The two of them walked out of the office building and walked to the rehearsal hall of the Performance Department. Cheng Yu'an also said that he would ask Wang Chunzi to be the performance director of "The Wandering Earth".
"A great director like you still wants to train actors for you?"
"Training actors has never been my strong point." Cheng Yu'an used to work with actors with mature acting skills. They basically didn't need to talk about the scene and could get whatever they asked for. But the two protagonists of "The Wandering Earth" are both young, so
They prepared an acting teacher just to add an extra layer of protection.
"Okay, I have no problem here." Wang Chunzi said with a smile, "I asked you to show me a play and even hooked me up. You really didn't suffer at all."
Cheng Yu'an chuckled and said: "Studying directing is bad."
The two of them chatted and laughed as they went upstairs to the performance department and walked into the rehearsal hall.
The students who were rehearsing recognized Cheng Yuan at a glance and shouted excitedly.
Wang Chunzi smiled and said: "I'm not lying to you, I've invited people for you."
There are 45 undergraduate students in the 11th-level performance department, which is the largest class since the establishment of the college.
But there are only a dozen or so in the rehearsal hall now.
More than a dozen men and women gathered around to talk to Cheng Yu'an. Zhou Dongyu and Nazha were not so excited and stood there watching.
Although they rarely see Cheng Yu'an, he is the boss after all and they can always come into contact with him in the company, which is not surprising.
Cheng Yu'an said: "Today I was invited by your teacher Wang to watch the rehearsal of your graduation drama. Don't worry about me. It's time to rehearse the drama."
Wang Chunzi also dismissed the students' onlookers: "Okay, we are here. You hurry up and rehearse the play. Teacher Cheng will give you guidance."
The graduation drama of their class is the comedy version of "Mission: Impossible 2".
Cheng Yu'an took the script and sat next to Wang Chunzi, flipping through the script and watching the rehearsal.
How should I put it? It is true that outsiders say that Chinese dramas produce actors and Nortel produces stars.
At least after watching it for more than ten minutes, Cheng Yu'an felt that there was something wrong with this batch of seedlings, and his brows began to furrow.
If you can get into film school, your image will definitely be fine, but after watching one scene, Cheng Yu'an feels that most people's basic skills are not solid.
In other words, the performances of a few people including Zhou Dongyu were up to standard.
Wang Chunzi also noticed Cheng Yuan's reaction. This was what she wanted. She was about to graduate, so she couldn't get Cheng Yuan to come over with some strong medicine. These beautiful girls and boys really didn't understand what drama was and what performance was.
It was also because Cheng Yu'an was present that the students in the field were distracted to observe Cheng Yu'an's reaction during the performance. Cheng Yu'an frowned and said nothing, and anyone could see his dissatisfaction, which made the rehearsing students even more nervous.
An actor mispronounced a word, and Cheng Yu'an took advantage of the situation to stop.
This student was so scared that he kept apologizing.
Wang Chunzi looked at Cheng Yu'an, nodded, and motioned for him to let go.
Cheng Yu'an patted him: "It's none of your business. It's normal to mispronounce the word."
He turned to all the students present and said, "How long has it been since you did your early morning exercises?"
This sentence choked all the students in the room and became speechless. Even Zhou Dongyu stopped talking. She had not practiced morning exercises for half a year.
"I am not from the acting department, but at that time we could see acting students doing morning exercises in school every morning. No matter you were a freshman or a senior, as long as you were still in school, you had to do morning exercises. No.
If you practice Qigong, your credits will be deducted and you will not be able to graduate.
"Are you not so strict now? Now that you are in your senior year, do you feel that you have learned almost everything you need to learn, and it is time to go out to film and become a star, so you stop practicing? If you don't practice for a day or two, you still don't feel like it?
What's the matter? Even if you don't practice for ten days and a half, the audience won't be able to tell, right?
"Anyway, I know how to dub when I join the group, so it doesn't matter if I read the lines well or not, right?"
Cheng Yu'an's words hit the mark on many people's minds.
In the same class, Zhou Dongyu and Nazha are both popular. Who in the acting department is not an arrogant person? Firstly, they think that Zhou Dongyu can become famous because of Zhang Yimou, and secondly, they think that Nazha is a vain person.
People who are skinny and full of idiots can be angry, but it is totally unreasonable for them not to be angry.
This kind of mentality has a very negative impact on other people in the 11th grade acting class. They are all impatient and eager to film a movie today and become popular tomorrow.
Cheng Yu'an took the knife on one of his own and went to Nazha: "Nazha, look at your expression, show your performance, your expression is so rigid that no one can see it, and you can't read your lines clearly.
It’s like stuffing a sock.”
In fact, Nazha's acting skills have improved. Her acting skills in "The Trace of the Sky" are really poor. I can't criticize her enough. But in the past two years, whether it is "Love Letter from Time" or "To Youth", Cheng Yuan
You can't blindly say that she hasn't made progress.
But there is nothing she can do here and now. As a company artist, she has to be used as a negative example by Cheng Yu'an.
Nazha is not stupid, she knows not to talk back at this time and stands firm when scolded.
"The lines must be clear and fluent, the physical expression must be in place, the stage must take care of the audience, and it must be a little exaggerated. These are all things that are taught in the freshman year. Why do I still make this mistake now that I am a senior.
"Comedy is the most challenging thing for an actor. You just let it go and acted it out. You are all squirming. What are you afraid of? You still need to teach something like a sense of belief in your senior year? You don't even believe that this play is funny.
, how to amuse the audience.
"Also, boys, look at you, you are all painting your eyebrows and hair, who are you showing it to? Old men should look like old men. Why are you so beautiful in school rehearsing a play? It's a drama.
Both Jing Mo Chou and Jing Mo Chou require actors, and if they are well acted, the audience will love to watch them.
"You all don't want to act ugly. You can't let go of your hands and feet to act ugly and make the audience laugh. What else can you do?"
"Remember, you can't lose face on stage, otherwise you won't be able to perform well. When you get on stage, you are not yourself, you are this character. You don't care whether he is beautiful or not. Open yourself up and let your performance run smoothly.
The audience is not blind, they will like you because you act well, not because you are good-looking.
"How about you Brother Huang Bo? You still win the Best Actor Award, and the audience still likes it."
In fact, the teacher has said this countless times in the past four years, but now the entertainment industry is too impetuous, and not many people can listen.
