Chapter 225: Newcomers Have No Human Rights
Zheng Qian waited at the staircase of the corridor for a while, and Lou Ze walked straight over, "The exam has been completed, it's none of your business, let's get busy! I will give you the admission notice after a while, and the school will start in March after the new year, just report it when the time comes." ”
Master's degree is divided into master's degree and professional master's degree, master's degree is a unified recruitment, usually starts in July and August, but Zheng Qian passed the joint entrance examination, and the degree obtained is a professional master's degree, that is, an on-the-job graduate student, and the start time is early March next year, after the Spring Festival.
Zheng Qian doesn't need to worry about his daily studies, he just needs to follow Lou Ze everywhere to brush up on his qualifications during the period.
It is worth mentioning that the two-year program for professional and master's degrees, but the military arts allow the duration of study to be extended to five years, or even longer, which is the same as the rules of other graduate schools.
The status of a working graduate student does not hinder the career development of working people.
Lou Ze drove Zheng Qian directly to the airport, and on the way, Lou Ze suddenly said, "I heard that you know Russian?"
"A little. Zheng Qian nodded.
He was referring to simple lyrics like "Opera", which require repeated practice, and if they are simply used for communication, they are basically useless.
Lou Ze nodded, expressing his understanding, and then continued: "After the spring of next year, the European tour will mainly be performed in Eastern Europe, Central Europe and Western Europe, nearly 20 countries, in the past, we used to perform in the form of symphony orchestras or choirs, but we learned that you are actually famous in Eastern European countries......
Zheng Qian's heart beat faster: "What?"
"Your opera, as well as the dance of the goddesses, are very well-known in Europe, especially in several countries in Eastern Europe, and are regarded as divine comedies, but most of them think that the original singer is Russian. ”
When Lou Ze said this, he suddenly smiled: "You know what I mean, right?"
Zheng Qian clenched his hands and rubbed them a little nervously: "Teacher, I probably understand." ”
"The opportunity to sing solo is rare, and it is also a strong stroke on the resume, so you should cherish it!"
Lou Ze said with a smile: "But your kid is also a language genius, he is proficient in four or five languages, and he is also a scarce talent in the field of diplomacy." ”
Zheng Qian hurriedly said a few words of modesty.
He is proficient in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and English, Chinese has been known since childhood, and English has also laid a foundation at a very young age, especially the spoken language, which is particularly pure, as long as he wants, the British and American accents can be switched at will.
This was due to the large number of English tapes brought by his father Zheng Wei when he was doing reselling business in Hong Kong and Shenzhen in the early days.
Later, in order to go to Korea to become a trainee of PY company, it was also hard training, Chinese and Korean have a lot in common, and it is relatively easy to learn, you know, the upper class of South Korea was proud of being able to write Chinese calligraphy in the early days, and their few remaining recorded documents are basically Chinese characters, so if you want to understand the history of South Korea, it is necessary to learn Chinese characters.
In modern times, when Hangeul was created, it also borrowed a lot from the spoken Chinese.
Zheng Qian already has some talent for languages, but he has found something in common, and he learns Korean very quickly.
During the period of becoming a trainee in South Korea, in addition to singing and dancing practice, the company also has high requirements for English and Japanese for trainees, because South Korea's entertainment companies are very ambitious, and the domestic market is too small, and the United States and the two major markets have always been coveted by them.
This gave Zheng Qian the opportunity to get in touch with the Japanese language.
While others were still struggling with pronunciation, Zheng Qian was already able to communicate happily with some of the trainees in simple Japanese.
Of course, this is limited to oral communication, not to mention creation, even reading, which takes a lot of effort.
As for the Russian language, Zheng Qian can also hum some classic songs with his mouth, and if he writes it, he will be directly blinded, after all, the Russian text is too elegant, and it is too different from the Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages to understand.
Cheng Qian flew directly to Hong Kong at two o'clock in the afternoon, ready to meet Andy and audition for the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Director Zhao Wenhui's police film.
In the past two days, in the communication with Andy, Zheng Qian also learned that Zhao Wenhui's new work is called "Latent", which was led by Zeng Liwei to invest, not only participated in himself, but also invited Andy and Wei Zai to join.
The movie has been established, and almost all the actors have been found, all of whom are famous actors.
Director Zhao Wenhui is the best director of the old Academy Awards, and this time, "Latent" is even more ambitious, ready to release a big satellite in the declining Hong Kong film industry in one fell swoop, and the sword is named for the annual Academy Awards.
Therefore, after being invited by the director, some actors didn't even read the script and agreed.
Auditions? non-existent.
The people who came to participate in the show are all acquaintances in the circle, they are very clear about each other's acting strength, and they are also full of confidence in director Zhao Wenhui, and there are two major actors, Andy and Wei Zai, so there is no reason not to join in the fun.
The reason why Zheng Qian won this invitation was also jointly recommended by Zeng Liwei and Andy.
Zhao Wenhui gave face very happily, and after seeing Zheng Qian's photo, he was ready to let Zheng Qian play the role of Wei Zai Liang Zhiwei when he was young.
There are not many shots, but it is the beginning of the story line, so there are high requirements for acting skills and audience popularity.
It just so happened that Zheng Qian was also famous in the Hong Kong music scene, so he hit it off.
After Zheng Qian flew to Hong Kong with Ren Xin and others, he drove straight to the hotel address given by Andy.
This time, the director, producer, and main actors of "Latent" were all there, and several tables were set.
It was officially launched in a few days, and this time it was also a start-up banquet.
Although Zheng Qian's popularity is good, he is a real newcomer in the film industry, plus Zheng Qian's plane was late and he came late, so when Zheng Qian arrived at the hotel, everyone had been staggering for a while.
Zheng Qian didn't mind this, his rise time was too short, his qualifications were not enough, if it was a big name like Andy and Wei Zai, everyone would definitely wait for someone to come and then serve the food and chopsticks.
But a newcomer is not qualified for this treatment.
He was not hypocritical, and after registering at the place, he was guided into the hotel by the waiter with only Ren Xin, ready to find a seat to sit down.
But Zeng Liwei was sharp-eyed, and the first one saw Zheng Qian who appeared at the entrance.
He hurriedly stood up, clapped his hands, smiled, and said loudly in a rough voice: "Everyone be quiet, Qianzi is here." ”
Everyone turned their heads and looked at Zheng Qian at the entrance, but no one spoke.
In the film industry, these people are all famous actors, they have won awards big and small, and their qualifications are deep enough, although Zheng Qian is a popular yuppie in the music world, but in the film industry, he is not ranked.
At this time, Andy also stood up and beckoned Zheng Qian to come over: "Why did you come?"
With that, he asked the waiter to add a seat next to him.
As soon as he came, he sat at the main table, which made the actors at the other tables feel sour.
Someone said loudly: "This is Qian Zai, Brother Hua, although Qian Zai is your person, but if you arrive tonight, you have to punish yourself three cups according to the rules!"
Andy scolded with a smile: "He's still a child, just mean it." ”
When the man heard this, he also smiled and did not speak again.
However, in front of everyone, Zheng Qian was not ambiguous, asked the waiter to bring a wine glass, poured three glasses in a row, drank it in one go, and then smiled at the actors around him without changing his face: "I'm sorry everyone, I'm late, I'll punish myself with three glasses." ”
Someone applauded loudly.
After Zheng Qian sat down, Andy personally introduced Zheng Qian to the producers, directors and protagonists of the film sitting at the main table.
Director Zhao Wenhui is about fifty years old, with short hair and long face, dark skin, and deep forehead lines. I know that you singers who are very popular in the music industry want to sing and act, I don't advocate it, but I don't oppose it, but after changing your identity, as an actor, you still have to learn a lot ......"
Zheng Qian hurriedly said: "I am willing to listen to Director Zhao's advice." ”
Producer Ma Dongqing said with a smile: "Qianzai, the role you play is not much, but it is very important, if it is smooth enough, it can be filmed in a day or two, don't be too nervous, with Andy to take you, I believe you can quickly gain a foothold in the film industry." ”
Zheng Qian smiled: "I will borrow your auspicious words." ”
Actor Liang Zhiwei looked at Zheng Qian for a while, and then sighed: "I rarely work with mainland actors, and I have the impression that mainland actors are very restrained and stereotyped, but Qian Zai is just the opposite, you are so young and have such a temperament, and your achievements in the future are limitless......"
Zeng Liwei smiled: "Wei Zai is so optimistic about him?"
"My instincts were right. Liang Zhiwei said with a smile.
Andy nodded sympathetically: "A person like Qian Zai has a temperament, as if he was born for the stage, and he can't do it without attracting attention......"
Zheng Qian is often praised by others, but he is a little overwhelmed by the combination of these actors.
The old man blushed, and hurriedly poured a glass of wine.
At this time, his eyes looked at another young man his own age.
Being able to sit at this main table obviously carries some weight.
"My name is Chen Wenxi. The young man noticed Zheng Qian's gaze and immediately introduced himself.
Seeing this, Zeng Liwei said: "Wen Xi is the son of the sixth brother, don't you know the sixth brother? It seems that you still need to inquire more in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, haha, Wen Xi just won the Best Newcomer at the Academy Awards, and his acting skills are very good. ”
Zheng Qian looked at Chen Wenxi, his eyelids jumped, this kid's fine skin and tender meat, a pair of peach blossom eyes are very eye-catching, and he is a popular cream boy at the moment......
I feel that the peach blossom luck is very strong!
Zheng Qian muttered to himself.
Soon, the boot feast ended.
Zheng Qian drank a few glasses of wine, his face did not change, and his alcohol consumption was always good.
Andy and others also often socialize, this scene can still be resisted, after saying goodbye, producer Ma Dongqing found the assistant director Ji Zheng and asked him to take Zheng Qian to the company to sign the contract.
Zheng Qian starred in friendship this time, and his salary was only 200,000.
In fact, most of the other actors also starred in self-reduced salaries, and basically at this price, or even lower.
Actors with box office appeal such as Andy and Wei Tsai are basically paid more than 5 million.
You must know that at the current local box office of Hong Kong films, each movie generally has a box office of three or four million, and this time "Latent" has gathered such a strong lineup, and the estimated local box office given by the market is only about twenty or thirty million.
The former glory of Hong Kong films is long gone, whether they can regain their glory this time, or continue to decline, in fact, everyone has no confidence.
Of course, in addition to the Hong Kong domestic market, the entire Asian countries are also ticket warehouses, and with such a strong lineup, it is definitely no problem to return to the capital.
Zheng Qian doesn't care about the salary, what he needs is qualifications and experience, although he has a certain confidence in his acting skills, but he is still far from the real actor level, only after experiencing the on-set shooting experience of many big directors and being guided by the director in real time, can he go further in acting.
After the opening banquet, it will take another four or five days to officially enter the group to shoot.
The production of Hong Kong films is notoriously fast, and many famous movies are also filmed in ten and a half days, this time the director team and the actor team are all experienced, even so, it is expected to take a month of shooting time to complete, which is enough to see that director Zhao Wenhui is serious about this movie.
After signing the contract, Zheng Qian got the outline of the script and his own character storyboard script.
This movie tells the story of two men with confused identities, who infiltrate the police and the underworld respectively to go undercover, and after a fierce gladiatorial fight, they suddenly wake up and are determined to find their story.
is generally similar to the plot of "Infernal Affairs", but the details have been restricted.
Zheng Qian wants to play the juvenile version of police officer Chen Yongkang, who is the right-hand man of the underworld boss Zeng Pan, who is actually an undercover police officer.
Chen Yongkang's lifelong ambition is to be a good police officer, and after applying for the police force that year, he was selected to join a core undercover program, with the aim of infiltrating the upper echelons of the underworld.
When success was in sight, the bosses in charge of the plan died one after another, and Chen Yongkang faced a dilemma.
"There really aren't a few shots ......"
After Zheng Qian finished reading his character story, he sighed.
It's all camera advancement, and there are only a few lines, which are compressed into the whole film, which has about three minutes of scenes......
Newcomers have no human rights.
After Zheng Qian read the script by heart, he had no idea of studying it carefully, and it was officially launched in four days, and tomorrow afternoon, he will go to CCTV to shoot the first episode of "Avenue of Stars".
After more than a month of warm-up, "Avenue of Stars" has achieved huge attention in the context of various popularity such as audience and discussion, especially the exposure of the judges in the jury seat, which has also attracted the attention of all parties.
