Chapter 130
The director of "Approaching Science" has a very domineering name, Wang Dawang.
With such a ghostly name, one can tell that he is not an ordinary person. Yes, Wang Dawang is a tiger spirit who has cultivated for 500 years.
In the early years, these spirits and monsters could still occupy a mountain in the world, be enshrined by others, domineering, and eat people if they disagreed with each other.
However, with the development of human society and the advancement of science and technology, various high-tech technologies that can kill with one blow have emerged. Basically, these ghosts can only live well if they follow the trend and integrate into society.
And Wang Dawang, among monsters, can be regarded as the one who lives quite well, because he not only masters a craft, but also has a job at the head of a national name. As a staff member, he doesn't even need to participate in the five-yearly monster census, and the state will automatically deduct a series of monster taxes for him, saving him a lot of trouble.
Even for this reason, he thought, it would be great to be a director!
That's right, unlike his irritable siblings, Wang Dawang has shown talents that are different from ordinary tiger spirits since he became a spirit. To put it simply, he is a literary tiger who likes to think.
Wenyihu has been obsessed with foreign film culture since the reform and opening up of New China. He has seen the birth of the Titanic all the way from the silent film era to the modern age with 4D technology.
In terms of the movies he has seen, even the film critics in the world don't watch as many as he does.
It is simply witnessing the birth and development of the film.
Before the flower planting country had fully reformed and opened up, he actually made a few good movies, which were very popular in China. However, human directors will age, but he can't. He couldn't change himself and change his face into something else, so he could only go behind the scenes aggrievedly and no longer live in front of people as a famous director.
Afterwards, he filmed some TV series one after another, all of which were of course kept secret.
However, the technology has become more developed in recent years, and the director of TV dramas has become more and more well-known, and he can't even shoot ordinary TV dramas.
At this time, people from the national special department came to Wang Dawang and asked him if he was interested in filming "Approaching Science".
Wang Dawang didn't know what "Approaching Science" was at first, but after knowing it, he was suddenly excited.
Using scientific methods to explain the abnormalities caused by those demons and ghosts, is there any work that tests imagination and creativity more than this?
He really thought this job was very, very interesting, so he agreed immediately.
Then he worked on the "Approaching Science" channel for more than 5 years. During these five years, he did not make movies or TV series, which made Wang Dawang feel a little regretful.
He originally thought that his demon life was like this, but it turned out that this was not the case.
About two years ago, he blew it while watching a movie, because he not only saw the legendary Kong Daojun, but also Erlang Zhenjun on TV.
King Wang: Never imagined!
As a spirit monster, he still knows more things than a simple human being. For example, they know what the big bosses in the heavens look like. In other words, a visa to the heavens is simply their lifelong goal!
Wang Dawang originally thought that seeing Kong Xuan, Yang Jian, and Monkey King before he went to the Immortal Realm was amazing, but he really didn't expect that he would be able to get in close contact with them because of his directing skills.
"Director? Good!"
He agreed without even reading the script.
At the same time, Wang Dawang also recommended himself desperately: "Although the only works I have directed in recent years are close to science, there are still many works decades ago, or even more than ten years ago. After a while, I will package them and send them to You, you should be able to understand me better."
Jiang Hongfei was still thinking about it at first, not knowing how good this Wang Dawang is as a director, but now he was very surprised to hear that he took the initiative to send his work.
He quickly said: "Okay, okay, then trouble Director Wang."
The excited tiger spirit sent out his materials as quickly as possible. Jiang Hongfei was taken aback after reading his collection. Some of the movie names in it had almost become the eternal classics of Huahua Country. heard about it.
There are also some TV series, even now, they will be broadcast on various David TVs during the summer vacation, and they are romantic dramas that have been popular for many years.
He was stupefied for a moment, thinking that he had found such a good director after all.
However, just because the director is well-known and he can direct some themes well, it doesn't mean that he can control any themes. Although Jiang Hongfei is very optimistic about Wang Dawang, and even thinks that he directs Wild Monkey as a bit of a shovel, but he still treats Wang Dawang The materials and previous works were packaged to Li Changgeng.
Let the editor judge whether this director is suitable.
Fortunately, after seeing it, Li Changgeng felt that his style was quite suitable, so he directly said to Jiang Hongfei, "Just him."
Jiang Hongfei replied to Dawang Wang as quickly as possible, and Tiger Jing blushed with excitement.
I'm going to get along with a group of celestial bosses day and night, I'm so excited just thinking about it!
When it was confirmed, Jiang Hongfei also asked if there were lighting engineers and other staff with the same identity as him around Director Wang, because they wanted to use spells instead of special effects when shooting, and hoped that the staff they hired could know the inside story.
This way it will be easy to work on both sides.
How did he know that he was asking the right person, Wang Dawang said directly: "Yes, yes, I have a team, all of whom are insiders." It can even be said that the members of the team are not human.
Ghost shooting team, you deserve it.
Jiang Hongfei was very happy after hearing this, and hurriedly set up a time with Wang Dawang and the ghost team he mentioned, and made an appointment to meet.
After hanging up the phone, he sighed with great satisfaction, thinking that their special effects were saved!
……
Although Tianyu Media has done a good job of keeping secrets, major entertainment companies and independent studios are staring at them.
In other words, they were staring at the "Wild Monkey" project.
As long as they are a bit ambitious actresses who want to go to the next level, they will not let go of the opportunity of "Wild Monkey". The filming is like shit, and the ratings are not too low.
This is a TV series that was destined to be successful before it even started.
Although ordinary studios or entertainment companies are self-sufficient when filming this kind of TV series, and use their own actors to shoot, at most a few supporting roles will be leaked, but Wild Monkey is different. Their TV series has a very important role. It's all empty now.
That's the heroine!
At first, they all thought that the heroine of "Wild Monkey" would be Liu Pipa. However, after her Asian tour concert was arranged, other big and small flowers were confirmed. Liu Pipa absolutely has no time to participate in TV dramas.
And she looks like she wants to concentrate on developing in the music world, so the possibility of becoming their competitor is not very high.
The big flower and the little flower are gearing up, they see a glimmer of hope, maybe they can really get on this TV series.
Then I suffered from Jiang Hongfei and the staff of the personnel department. It stands to reason that the casting should be the director's time. However, the director of "Wild Monkey" is very mysterious, and no one knows which one will take up the job until now. , Therefore, the heads of these studios can only call the boss behind the scenes.
Those who are not capable contact through the personnel department, and those who are capable call Jiang Hongfei's work mobile phone.
Mr. Xiao Jiang said dumbfoundedly, when is this time, he has received invitations to countless dinners, and he was invited to dinner, and he was close to people who had never been able to get along with him before.
It's really scary.
He had no choice but to hold a small meeting with Li Changgeng and the Monkey4 monkeys, and asked them, "Who do you want to cooperate with?"
Zhao Wuming said first: "It doesn't matter who I cooperate with!"
He is an actor, and he especially likes acting, no matter who is playing with him, it doesn't matter.
Yuan Hong glanced at him and said, "You don't have many scenes." The implication was that he didn't consider his needs at all.
Zhao Wuming held back.
Ma Liu also agreed: "The three of us don't have too many roles, so if we really choose the heroine, we should let Dasheng do it." After all, he is the leading actor.
Everyone present looked at Sun Wukong together.
For the sake of the wild monkey who is about to turn on, Sun Wukong has been suppressed for a long time in the acting class. When Yang Jian comes back after a while, he will probably have to accept the small cooking class.
Sun Wukong is not stupid, and it is very helpful to take these lessons. According to Zhao Wuming, who is the best actor among them, he should have no problem acting as a wild monkey with his true colors. The acting is considered to be very good and very smooth.
To get such an evaluation from Zhao Wuming is already very remarkable.
But just like Zhao Wuming said that he might be stiff during a love story, it is extremely important who is playing opposite Monkey King.
He thought about it: "Doesn't it mean that if you want to perform well, you have to have a chemical reaction with the actor who is playing the opposite role? Then just hold the audition."
Jiang Hongfei's face stiffened for a moment and he said, "Audition?"
Sun Wukong said: "That's right, let me try with someone who wants to play this role, and see which one can make me perform naturally, isn't that all right?"
Jiang Hongfei thought for a while, and felt that what Sun Wukong said was quite right.
Although there are many studio entertainment companies with big flowers and small flowers sending news to him, "Wild Monkey" is a project of their own company, and the IP is big. It was originally created to make Monkey4 popular.
Under this premise, whether the heroine is famous or not, and whether she will offend many big names because of the audition, is not so important.
In particular, because Tianyu Media did not take an unusual path, they have offended many people since the establishment of the company. After all, if the entertainment industry wants to climb to the top, it is by stepping on other people's bones.
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Hongfei nodded and said, "Okay, then let's audition."
As for whether those female stars who have been famous for a long time will lose face because of participating in the audition and stop coming in a fit of anger, this is not something Jiang Hongfei and the others will consider.
Their company is also very arrogant!
……
"What, audition?!"
Luo Bing was shocked when she heard the news, she said: "Did you hear me right?"
Her manager said: "You heard me right, it's the audition." She turned her laptop around and said to Luo Bing on the screen, "Even the notification email came, it's the audition."
Luo Bing felt that she was choked. To be honest, she thought that she would lose the election and the role would be snatched by a more famous female star, or Tianyu Media wanted to promote a little-known amateur to make her debut.
But she never expected that she would be auditioned.
Unlike other countries, there are very few auditions for TV dramas in Flower Planting Country. Auditions require funds, and if it is an unknown director, they simply cannot afford it.
Even if auditions are held rarely, there are eight out of ten or nine times out of ten it's just for hype, and in the end those who play important roles are big-name stars, or at least some well-known stars.
These people are all pre-determined, think about it too, if you let famous stars participate in the audition, if you fail in the end, wouldn't it be a shameful thing?
Now Luo Bing is also caught in a tangle.
The agent said: "Okay, don't contact me anymore, the company's audition, whether to go or not."
Luo Bing said: "Go, it seems to be a bit of a drop in price..." She is already in this position, and she still wants to participate in the audition like a young man, and what's more, she feels that her acting skills may not be enough to support the audition.
Her performance is actually quite crafty.
The agent added the next sentence for her: "If you don't go, it will be a pity, right?"
This is "Wild Monkey". As long as you participate in it, you will definitely be popular, even if you are scolded to death, you will still be popular.
Luo Bing is not a big flower yet, she is still a little bit reluctant to miss this kind of opportunity that might be able to soar into the sky.
After thinking about it, she lowered her voice and said to her agent: "It's already confirmed that the audition is not allowed?"
The agent said: "People have already refused to directly appoint people, which shows their attitude." After saying this, her voice also lowered, "And I have confirmed it for you. This audition really can't work. So whoever, after announcing the audition, still didn't give up, tried every means to have a meal with Mr. Jiang, but left with a livid face."
As soon as Luo Bing heard "so so so", she knew who the manager was talking about. Anyway, the coffee position must be much bigger than her.
She said in her heart that although she knew that Tianyu Media had a solid background and was the emperor of resources, she never thought that it would be like this, but maybe it was because they didn't make money, that's why the company failed two years later. The rapid rise in the country has produced so many talented artists who are well-known throughout Asia!
After struggling for a while, she said to her manager, "Sign up for me, I still want to go."
……
Tianyu Media's audition policy really forced a lot of people to leave.
Some well-known big flowers and small flowers really couldn't imagine themselves vying for the lead actress with a group of students who just came out of the film school and amateurs, so they simply gave up the election.
They can all imagine that if they participated in the audition but were rejected, what would be said by the black people, it must be a large area of black people like "poor acting skills" and "only traffic".
There are still some people who are unwilling to give up, not only their agents' studios call, but even some political and business leaders have invited Jiang Hongfei to dinner. Obviously, they can't do it by themselves. Let's see if they can let the more powerful financial masters tear up the privileges .
However, the real political bigwigs kept secret about the existence of Tianyu Media. Those who invited him to dinner were all ignorant of the situation. Jiang Hongfei smiled politely throughout the whole process, and then flatly refused.
Anyway, the unlucky ones in the end must not be Jiang Hongfei, but those who came to him.
Under such a delicate situation, the audition of Tianyu Media began. At the beginning, it was registration. Not only experienced actors could apply, but also inexperienced amateurs who had just graduated from school, and even film school students. Can participate in audition registration.
The requirements stated by Tianyu Media are very clear. They are auditioning this time to select a suitable heroine, but if the performance is bright enough, even if they don’t get the heroine, they may get other roles, so everyone is welcome to sign up .
By the way, they also recruit some supporting actors, so men can also sign up.
After the announcement of the audition, not only the entertainment industry in Planting Flower Country, but even the film and drama schools were shocked. For a while, it triggered a frenzy of registration, and students submitted their registration materials in groups.
Within half a month, Tianyu Media actually received 2 application materials.
Even Jiang Hongfei was deeply shocked by this number, he said: "So many?!"
The person in charge of the relevant department is frowning, he can imagine unlimited overtime in the future.
He replied: "This is only a part. Our registration period is not over yet. I am afraid that in the end, there will be 4 to 5 registration forms."
Jiang Hongfei was speechless: "Are there so many actors in our country?"
The person in charge said: "It must be quite a lot anyway."
Jiang Hongfei said: "Then I can only work hard for you. First, go through so many application forms and eliminate those that do not meet the requirements. Then, let's start the first round of audition in a few cities where the application is relatively concentrated."
He originally thought that there were only a few hundred or a few thousand people, so that one or two audition venues would be enough, but he didn't know that there were so many applicants, and it would be possible to complete a talent show.
But Jiang Hongfei was quite persistent. Since he had already started to do it, he had to finish it to the end. There was no turning back when he started work. If he didn't choose the heroine, he really wouldn't give up.
The person in charge said: "The funds..."
Jiang Hongfei said: "Make a budget and go to the Finance Department." As long as it is not excessive, the funds must be enough!
Tianyu Media was already rich, and after the birth of the wild monkey, it became even richer. In the emerging cultural industries, games are the richest. I haven't seen the movies made by those game companies, whether it is special effects or other things. , are much better than normal film and television companies and animation companies.
As for the reason, capital is the most important point, because their company has money, so they can afford it, and the effect is better than those outsourcing companies.
And now, Tianyu Media is that rich game company.
Half a month later, the wild monkey actor audition registration was finally over. Excluding those invalid applications, there were still 6000 people who signed up. Tianyu Media allocated funds to conduct auditions in 6 cities across the country, which was very vigorous.
It was cruel to say that although there were 6000 candidates in the audition, but in the second round, there were only 600 candidates.
The person in charge of the audition preliminarily predicted that the second round of selection would be a little more brutal. In the end, only less than 600 of the 100 candidates would be able to go to Tianyu Media for the final interview.
The probability of elimination is extremely high.
Of course, those big and small flowers who called Jiang Hongfei before didn't need to be selected by the sea. Their reputation still has a lot of bonuses, and they can directly enter the final stage and participate in the interview of hundreds of people.
It would be too inhumane for them to participate in the ten thousand audition.
After confirming the audition, Tianyu Media began to select the interviewer crowd. With so many people, it is impossible for them to let people from their company go to see them one by one.
After the negotiation, they hired professors from film schools with high salaries, and they will use their professional eyes to determine the promotion places for the first round and the second round.
After some insiders learned that Tianyu Media invited professors to be judges, they began to use their brains. They thought that the elimination rate in the first round and the second round is so high, they must find some way to ensure that they pass. Professors come to comment, is it possible to have activities and see if the professors can give people a place to let them go?
However, these people with twisted brains can think of these methods, how could Jiang Hongfei and the others not think of them?If it was so easy for people to find loopholes, they would not be able to develop into what they are today.
Those people originally thought that even if they were to select professors, they would definitely use local materials, and the local professors should be well managed. How could they know that on the last day, Tianyu came to the bottom of the pot, saying that they would be responsible for sending professors to their The city assessed, and then sent back, whether it is transportation or hotels are the most advanced.
Those who use their brains are stupid. What kind of show operation is this to break up the professor on the last day?
What's even more frightening is that they don't use local materials, as long as they are local professors, they must not stay in the local area, and all of them will be sent far away.
Their gifts are all free!
Shen Wenwen signed up for the audition for "Wild Monkey".
Compared with most of the contestants, she is a bit young. She was only admitted to the Beijing Drama Academy last year, and she is only a sophomore now.
But her acting experience is not zero. She was active as a child star for a while when she was a child, but after that, she rarely appeared on the big screen. Parents who pursue art tended to let her act in dramas, so she joined Children's troupe.
But it is a pity that dramas do not make money these days. Although the acting skills of drama actors generally surpass those of TV drama actors, their salaries are only a few tenths, or even one percent, of those actors. It is for money and popularity , She was admitted to the Beijing Academy of Drama and participated in the wild monkey audition.
However, there was another reason, which Shen Wenwen didn't tell others.
About a few months ago, when she and her classmates were taken by the teacher to watch a performance by the troupe, she saw a familiar person on the stage of the theater, but he should not be there.
As a player of Wild Monkey and a student of the Drama Academy, she immediately recognized the young man with yellow hair as Wuming Zhao.
The teacher of their class is an old artist in the drama industry, a smiling old man, he is very famous in the drama industry, because of this, the time of class for them is very random, basically he can come to class when he has time, but Shen Wenwen I have to admit that they can learn a lot from this smiling old man.
The old artist said: "I know that many of you have acting experience, and some of you are even child stars, and now there are many work arrangements."
Some students were a little disturbed by what they said, but there were others who didn't care.
The old professor continued: "We adults, when we talk about acting skills, you always feel that there is a distance, and you think that you can have proficient acting skills when you reach our age, but now I want to tell you that even if you are the same age as you Compared to other people, your acting skills are not worth mentioning."
Hearing the old professor's words, Shen Wenwen became a little angry. The Beijing Academy of Drama is the best actor dream factory in Huahua Country. People have always said that if you want to become a star, you should go to Beijing Film Academy, but if you want to be a good actor , is coming to Beijing Opera.
In terms of acting skills, they are all the best among their peers, who can resist dissing the professor like this.
But students generally don't have the guts to hate professors, especially their professors are very good, so even if they feel that what the professor said is wrong, they can only sit on the chairs and watch the performance on the stage.
After all, Shen Wenwen has been in the class for a year, let alone listening to the lines, she can tell what she is doing just by looking at the appearance on the stage.
It's just that this time it's a rehearsal, not a formal performance, so Wuming Zhao is still wearing golden yellow hair.
She watched these people rehearse "Thunderstorm", and she was a little disdainful. The reason why classics are classics is because since the birth of this play, it has been on the screen. Until now, "Thunderstorm" still often appears on the stage of dramas In addition, students of acting majors like them can memorize the lines of this play from beginning to end.
Most people in the industry believe that the classic version of "Thunderstorm" is unsurpassable. Even if these modern students imitate, they can only look like gods, because they can no longer feel the mood of the parties involved. It's getting farther and farther away from them.
In the final exam last year, even the best performer in their class only scored 78 points, and their performance title was "Thunderstorm".
The teacher who taught them the acting class last year was also an old man. He was still in good spirits at the age of 70. After being rehired, he was active in the front line of teachers. At that time, he shook his head helplessly and said: "Your generation will never be able to act again. The essence of Thunderstorm."
Suddenly, the classmate next to Shen Wenwen snorted and said to her, "Hey, look, is the one below our teacher from last year?"
Shen Wenwen looked down and found that not only their teacher from last year, but even their dean had come to watch this play.
She couldn't help but wonder, what are all these big shots looking at?
After thinking for a while, she still couldn't think of an answer, so she turned her attention to the stage, but she didn't expect that after watching it for a while, she was surprised by the performance on the stage.
To be precise, he was surprised by Zhao Wuming's performance of Zhou Chong.
Dramas are different from TV dramas, and also different from dramas. They don’t have colorful sets, enough props, or even gorgeous costumes, and tactful singing.
If you want a drama to be successful, all you can rely on is the artistic appeal of the actor himself. He has to perform in a small and false space. From him, you have to see the changes in the situation.
In the 90s and [-]s, masters who had undergone tremendous changes in their lives could have such a terrible artistic appeal, because their life experiences are so rich, and they have seen too many absurd, funny, and happy things. Having experienced all kinds of life, they can simulate the emotions of people in any period, and even amplify their emotions through body language, empathizing with the audience in the audience.
But this kind of ability is not possessed by modern youths who grew up in honeypots.
Shen Wenwen's teacher was right. If he follows the growth trajectory of modern people, he will never see a person who can play "Thunderstorm" well.
This is not only a question of talent, but also a question of the background of the times. Only after suffering and polishing can a generation of masters be achieved.
but……
Shen Wenwen showed a dazed look on her face, she thought, she thought it was stupid to hear Zhou Chong's lines before, but when she read it from Zhao Wuming's mouth, why did she feel that it was so touching?
Zhao Wuming is reading lines dreamily on the stage. He said dreamy because you can feel from his expression and body language that he is really confused and looking for something, and his movements will not make the audience feel too much. Exaggeration or being too silly will only drag people into the artistic conception of the scene.
"Sometimes I forget the present, home, you, mother, and myself. I think, as if on a winter's morning..."
Shen Wenwen's deskmate trembled and said, "Why do I think his acting is very different from Jiang Shuai's?"
Jiang Shuai is the number one in their class. He scored 78 points in "Thunderstorm" last year. At that time, Shen Wenwen watched his performance and felt that although his movements were a bit exaggerated and a bit like acting, but his ability to mobilize emotions was good, at least not Make the audience feel like laughing.
Moreover, at the time, she didn't think there was anything wrong with acting at first glance. She always thought that if a drama didn't have a sense of acting, what kind of drama would it be called?
But now, she suddenly felt that her previous thinking was a bit superficial, and it could even be said that her thinking was wrong. A blunt sense of performance and a natural performance are two different concepts.
Drama can also catch people.
A row of old experts and professors in front were also whispering to each other. They didn't come here once or twice to watch Zhao Wuming's performance. Since Professor No.1 discovered him, others have been drawn here one after another.
The old dean said: "Which school does Xiao Zhao plan to take, have you found out?"
The professor smiled and said, "Our school."
The old dean said: "Very good, that major..."
Another professor interrupted abruptly, "Our school."
The dean was so happy. He looked at Zhao Wuming's eyes now, just like looking at a pile of shining treasures. He could imagine the future when Zhao Wuming joined their school and they won another phenomenal artist.
They can guarantee that with Zhao Wuming's ability, if he acts in a movie, he can become a best actor, and if he can enter the drama world, he will definitely become a national treasure artist.
Hey, this talent is really amazing.
After the performance of "Thunderstorm", the students who came to observe stopped talking. The professor smiled and said, "Do you know what it means to be beyond others?"
The students were sparse and reluctantly said: "Got it."
The professor nodded with satisfaction.
These students even felt a bit of grief and anger. What else in this world is not only more popular than them, but also more talented than them, and more hurtful than their hard work?
Shen Wenwen has kept Zhao Wuming deeply in her heart since that time. After watching the other party's performance, she felt that the little bit of acting skills she was proud of was not acting skills at all, but the real Master performers never say how good they are.
So she took classes more seriously, honed herself harder, and even became the No.1 major last year.
But Shen Wenwen knew that this was not enough, only by playing against Zhao Wuming could he know how powerful the other party was.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath.
For her goal, first of all, she has to pass the wild monkey's audition!
Come on, Shen Wenwen, you are the fattest!
