The northern section of Wangfujing Street, Capital Theater!

It was built in 1954 and officially served as a special performance venue for the Yanjing People's Art Theater in 1956.

The theater has a construction area of 15,000 square meters, covering an area of nearly 5,000 square meters, integrating performances, rehearsals and theater offices.

The theater auditorium and lounge are classical and magnificent, and decorate the comfortable environment with various lighting decorations, which is one of the largest and best-equipped drama performance theaters in the country.

At this time, Wu Jianye was sitting in the first row, and Zhu Yan was sitting next to him, and the two of them came here to watch the performance today.

Today's show is "Birdman"!

The starring role in this drama is the famous actor Lin Liankun who is now Renyi, and at the same time, Liang Guanhua and others in "The Happy Life of Poor Zhang Damin" and "The Legend of Di Renjie" also participated in this drama.

Among them, there are also newcomer actors who are now in the arts, Pu Yuxi, He Li, Xu Qi and others.

Renyi can now be called the highest place in the domestic performance hall, and the best students who have graduated from Chinese opera will come here.

However, it must be said that the salary of Renyi is really not high.

The performance on the stage was done in one go, it was very perfect, and Wu Jianye sat in the audience and watched their performance, and he also appreciated it very much.

Zhu Yan next to him didn't speak, for people like them who are engaged in this industry, they have always had a respectful attitude for the performance of human arts.

Drama is different from movies and television, if film and television are not enough, it can be NG, but on the stage of drama, such a thing cannot happen, because it means that the whole drama collapses.

This is the alchemy stone of whether an actor is qualified or not!

After the whole performance, in the applause of the audience, it can be seen that the performance of the drama "Birdman" is very successful, in fact, this is also a very classic play on the stage of Renyi, and later it has been performed by Renyi many times.

As "Birdman" ended, the audience stood up and applauded.

Wu Jianye Zhu Yan also rose up to applaud like ordinary audiences.

However, unlike ordinary audiences, after the performance ended, these audiences left, and Wu Jianye took Zhu Yan to the backstage of the theater.

The backstage of the theater is divided into two places: a dressing room and a rest room, and there is no such thing as a separate dressing room, but a dressing room shared by several actors.

Wu Jianye came to the first dressing room, and saw that Teacher Lin Liankun was removing makeup alone, as did Liang Guanhua, Han Xuxu and others next to him.

"Old Lin!" Wu Jianye smiled and walked over to say hello.

"Yo, Director Wu!" Lin Lao also smiled after seeing Wu Jianye, although it was the first time he met Wu Jianye, it didn't mean that Lin Lao didn't know Wu Jianye, "I just saw you in the audience, how can I have time to come to our Renyi today!"

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "I also heard that our Renyi has a new show staged today, didn't I come here to learn from it!"

"Birdman" is the first performance today, the director is Lin Chaohua, the director of Renyi, and the screenwriter is Guo Shixing.

Lin Lao smiled: "I'm afraid it's not just to come and watch us perform, do I want to be happy for these young actors in our troupe!"

It's already mid-March, and in the past month or so, the biggest news in the domestic literary and art circle is that Wu Jianye's new movie has entered the formal preparation stage.

(Renyi's "Birdman", the premiere was released on March 31, 1993, but for the sake of the plot, it was put in mid-March, I hope you understand!)

Previously, at the premiere of "The World of Chu Xing", Wu Jianye decided that Chen Qiao, Chen Daoshu, and Jiang Qi would participate in their new movie, but so far there has been no news that other actors have been selected, especially the starring role in the movie.

Although no one knows what the story of Wu Jianye's new movie is about, does it matter?

As long as you know that the director is Wu Jianye, and one more thing is that according to the news from the CCTV interview, Wu Jianye's new movie will invest 100 million!

What is the concept of 100 million in 1993!

Everyone understands the importance of this film all too well.

It is precisely because of this that many actors now, through various means, want to contact Wu Jianye, hoping to participate in this movie.

Even if it's not the main actor, it's okay.

Everyone understands that Wu Jianye's new movie is definitely an epoch-making film in China, and it may even change the film landscape in China.

Now Wu Jianye came to Renyi on purpose, and in the eyes of many people, this is definitely not a drama of Renyi.

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Thank you for not being able to say, I'll just take a look, don't be the last, I can't find a suitable actor in our art, these people should scold me!"

"Haha, I think whoever dares to be selected, it can only mean that their image is not suitable!" Lin Lao said with a smile.

He didn't say that the acting skills of Renyi's actors were not enough, he just said that their images were not suitable, which was Lin Lao's confidence in his own Renyi actors.

In fact, it is true, none of these actors in Renyi are given for nothing.

Liang Guanhua joked beside him: "Director Wu, I won't recommend yourself to Mao Sui, I know that my image is definitely not up to par!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "How are you thinking about it, the court culture has invited you several times, when will you come with a free schedule?"

The current Liang Guanhua is only 29 years old, several years younger than Wu Jianye, but now his stomach is up.

As for the invitation that Wu Jianye said, it was actually the screenwriter team of Tangting Culture who had already begun to prepare for the TV series "Detective Di Renjie" after receiving Wu Jianye's order.

"Detective Di Renjie", as one of the longest-lived TV series in China, aired a total of 212 episodes before Wu Jianye's rebirth, but in Wu Jianye's opinion, this is still a little less.

He is preparing to make this series one of the longest-lived TV series in China, and inviting Liang Guanhua now also hopes that he can start from Di Renjie's youth.

There is a theme TV in the TV drama genre that is very suitable for long-lived TV dramas, and that is detective dramas.

The domestic "The Legend of Di Renjie" and "Six Groups of Serious Cases" are typical of this, while Xiangjiang's TVB also has series such as "Criminal Investigation Files" and "Sister Tuogun", and Wanwan's has the "Bao Qingtian" series.

In Wu Jianye's view, although Liang Guanhua is not the most handsome to play Di Renjie, he is definitely the most suitable to play Di Renjie, in fact, there has been a TV series about Di Renjie in China before, that is, the "Legend of Di Renjie" series starring Sun Chengzheng.

This series is also a longevity TV series, in 1986, the first one launched had 24 episodes, you must know that there were very few long-form TV series in China at that time, and more were only a dozen episodes or just, and there was absolutely no suspicion of irrigation.

Later, the series was released in 1996 and 2001, with a total of 64 episodes!

Tangting Culture's preparation for the production of "The Legend of Di Renjie" must be in the ring with "The Legend of Di Renjie's Case", but "The Legend of Di Renjie's Case" was broadcast on Jinyang TV.

Liang Guanhua said with a smile: "Isn't there no way, the current "Birdman" in the troupe has been rehearsing before, and this performance will take more than a month." ”

Wu Jianye asked Lin Lao, "Lin Lao, is the troupe ready to perform until that day?"

Lin Lao smiled: "It should end in early May!"

Wu Jianye nodded at this time, and said to Liang Guanhua: "That's it, but let's talk about it, after the performance of the art is over, you have to go to the court to report on the culture!"

Liang Guanhua said happily: "Director Wu, you have come here in person, can I still say no!"

Wu Jianye laughed, chatted with them a few more words, and went to another dressing room.

There are Pu Yuxi, He Li and others who remove makeup here.

And the purpose of Wu Jianye's visit this time is actually He Yan!

He Yan is definitely an actor in China, the TV series "Love in the Courtyard", "Sesame Hutong" and so on needless to say, Wu Jianye once watched the movie "Twelve Citizens" starring him, which is definitely a performance of acting skills.

The actress has her own dressing room, so Xu Dong is not in this room.

"Director Wu!"

Pu Yuxi, He Yan and others also stood up one after another after seeing Wu Jianye.

Wu Jianye smiled and waved his hand, and said, "You guys remove your makeup first, don't worry about me!"

Pu Yuxi is a veteran actor in Renyi, three years older than Wu Jianye!

The makeup removal is also fast, and when Wu Jian came over at night, it was almost over, and at this time, three times five divided by two had already ended.

"Director Wu, it seems that you are really attentive to the new movie this time, and you actually went to Renyi to arrest people in person!" Pu Yuxi joked with Wu Jianye.

Although the two have not cooperated, it is not the first time they have met, and they are relatively familiar.

In later generations, when Wu Jianye was reborn, because of the market, Pu Yuxi rarely appeared in front of the screen, and was more of a performance on the drama stage.

However, every time he appears, he can amaze the audience.

In "Favorite" directed by Gu Changwei, Guo Fucheng's performance was perfectly crushed, which was unforgettable.

"Anyway, I said that I was here to pick actors, and the rumors were spread by you!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

Pu Yuxi smiled: "You, don't pretend, who doesn't know that you are busy choosing actors for your movies every day, if it weren't for the selection of actors, you would be a busy person who can come to Renyi!"

Wu Jianye said: "It seems that I won't pick an actor to go today, you are not satisfied!"

After speaking, in a joking tone, he said to He Yu, who was still removing his makeup: "He Yu, how about it, everyone said so, I think your performance just now is quite good, although it is only a supporting role, but you also performed your own style, wait for the performance of "Birdman" to end, come with me!"

He Yan hurriedly stood up and said, "Really?"

Wu Jianye smiled: "Fake!"

He Yan showed a disappointed expression, looking at He Yan's expression, Zhu Yan laughed beside him.

Pu Yuxi said angrily on the side: "Silly boy, Director Wu is such a big director, if it's not true, can you make a joke for you, don't hurry up and thank Director Wu." ”

He Yan smiled again at this time, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Director Wu!"

Wu Jianye waved his hand and said: "Don't be busy thanking me first, you are definitely not the protagonist in this movie, but there will be no shortage of scenes, and you will have to go through at least 3 to 6 months of action training, if you can do it, then thank me!"

He Yan said: "Director Wu, don't you worry, isn't being an actor just to serve the role, I definitely have no problem!"

As I have said before, Wu Jianye's new movie is an epoch-making movie in China, not to mention the main actor, it is a small cameo role, and there will definitely be many people who want to participate, even He Yan is no exception.

At this time, Xu Qi also walked over in the women's dressing room to specially greet Wu Jianye.

Xu Qi went to the crew of "The Legend of the New White Lady" to audition before, although it was unsuccessful, but later he also participated in "The Great Satan" invested by Tangting Culture, and he still knew Wu Jianye, but he was not very familiar.

"Director Wu, Sister Xuan!" Xu Qi said politely.

Wu Jianye and Zhu Yan nodded together, Wu Jianye smiled and said: "I have watched the previous "The Great Satan", and the performance in it is very good, much stronger than when you auditioned before!"

Xu Dong said with a straight bow: "I think so too!"

Wu Jianye: "......."

I've heard about Xu Dong's rectum for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be really straight.

Zhu Xuan, who was on the side, laughed again and said, "I heard Feng Pants talk about you two days ago!"

Xu Qi was slightly stunned, and then a somewhat complicated expression appeared on his face, "He's not a good person!"

Zhu Yan smiled and asked, "What's the matter, he bullied you?"

In fact, Feng Pants and Xu Qi were not together at this time, and the two had only met twice.

However, these two Feng pants left a bad impression on Xu Zheng, the first time was in the screening room of Yan Film Studio, and the sample film of "The Great Satan" starring Ge You and Xu Zheng was screened at that time.

At that time, Xia Gang asked Feng Pants: How is the movie?

Feng pants said: It's all good, but the heroine is almost there.

And at that time, Xu Qi was sitting behind them.

The second time was at the crew shutdown dinner of "The Great Satan", at that time Ge You dragged Feng pants to find Xu Zheng, and this time it was not to introduce Feng pants to Xu Zheng, but a friend of the two asked them to introduce their girlfriends.

Ge You thought of Xu Dong.

Ge You first boasted about his friend in front of Xu Dong, and then Feng Pants also went on to boast: This person is my comrade-in-arms, with good character, and a small building in his family.

Xu Dong's answer is: You have to know yourself when you fall in love, others can't take care of it, thank you for your kindness, don't worry about it in the future.

These were the two previous meetings between the two, which made Xu Ji definitely not have a good impression of Feng Pants.

It's just that Feng Pants has a good impression, but although Feng Pants can speak well, when facing girls, he hasn't practiced his later cheekiness.

So although I thought about it in my heart, I didn't take action, and when I went to the courtyard before, I also said it casually, and Zhu Yu remembered it in his heart!
