Yanjing, Zhu Xinzhuang!

Wu Jianye, Zhang Yimou, and Zhao Fei walked down on the minibus one after another.

The sign of 'Yenching Film Academy' is still hanging on the wall, it is still black on a white background, and the word 'shadow' is still composed of a 'tic-tac-toe' character and three apostrophes!

Zhang Yimou said with a sigh: "Ten years have passed, and nothing has changed?"

Wu Jianye smiled on the side: "Which of the original brands was taken away by the academy, I am looking for someone to rewrite it!"

Zhao Fei looked at the big iron gate and said with a smile: "It turns out that I haven't turned this one under!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "That's you!"

After saying that, Wu Jianye kicked Zhao Fei's ass directly, and Zhao Fei was willing to let go, chasing Wu Jianye and making trouble, while Zhang Yimou, who was behind him, laughed.

Zhang Yimou was originally the oldest among their students, coupled with his calm personality, so Zhang Yimou rarely participated in the fights between students.

Soon Zhang Yimou heard Zhao Fei shouting, "No, I have to go and see my dormitory, has it changed!"

Zhang Yimou and Zhao Fei are in the same dormitory, Zhang Yimou is the oldest in the photography department, and Zhao Fei is the youngest in the photography department!

At this time, a man in his early fifties stepped down from the minibus next to Zhang Yimou.

"I've really not been here very often!" said the man.

"Mr. Guo, is it the same here as you remember?" Zhang Yimou looked a little respectful of the man.

In fact, according to the relationship between Zhang Yimou and this man, the other party should be called senior brother, but there are other relationships in it, so Zhang Yimou calls him a teacher.

And this teacher Guo is actually no one else, it is Guo Baochang, the director of the classic TV series "Mansion Gate" in later generations.

Guo Baochang actually graduated from Yenching Film Academy, if calculated according to the normal time, Guo Baochang should have graduated from the directing department of Yenching Film Academy in 65, but because of that special period, he only got the academy's graduation certificate in 79.

At that time, when he came to the college to get his graduation certificate, he also attracted the attention of many students!

Guo Baochang's original name is not actually called Guo Baochang, but called Li Baochang, born in Yanjing in a poor worker's family, when he was two years old, his father died of illness on the street, his mother sold him to a family for 80 oceans, and then was redeemed, and sold into Tongrentang for 200 oceans, because his adoptive mother's surname was Guo, so he changed his name to Guo Baochang!

As for his adoptive mother, there are different opinions, but the most said is that her adoptive mother is Xiangxiu in "Mansion Gate"!

And "Mansion Gate" is actually based on his own experience.

This time, Guo Baochang followed Wu Jianye and others to Zhu Xinzhuang College, in fact, to make a cameo appearance as the boss of the TV station in the movie.

Guo Baochang's personal temperament is definitely no problem with cameo roles of this kind, Zhang Yimou and Guo Baochang walked slowly in the academy, Zhang Yimou looked at the grass and trees in the academy and looked a little sighing.

"Xiao Wu has a heart!" Guo Baochang also sighed sincerely beside him.

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "Lao Wu, is the most special one among our students, when we first came to the academy, Lao Wu's personality was actually a little dull, and then I don't know how he suddenly became lively, first wrote scripts, acted in movies, and then no one thought that he would become the most successful director in our class!"

Recalling the bits and pieces of school, Zhang Yimou also sighed a lot.

At that time, Chen Kaige was busy attending the recital, while Zhang Yimou himself went to participate in the photography exhibition.

At that time, everyone seemed very confused about the future, but they were also very hopeful.

After a while, Wu Jianye and Zhao Fei walked over happily, but at this time, the two were already sweating profusely.

The two didn't care, they went directly to the faucet and washed it with cold water.

Zhao Fei even ran to Zhang Yimou and threw Zhang Yimou off the water.

Guo Baochang came to Wu Jianye and said, "Director Wu......"

"Don't, Mr. Guo, you still call me Xiao Wu!" Wu Jianye hurriedly said.

Guo Baochang laughed, didn't refute, and said with a smile: "Xiao Wu, I have to thank you, I left a thought for the people of our film academy!"

Wu Jianye knew that Guo Baochang was talking about leaving Zhu Xinzhuang Film Academy, so he smiled and said: "I just feel that everything I did started here, and I had this condition at the beginning, so I saved him!"

Guo Baochang didn't ask Wu Jianye how much it cost to save here, although he was sold several times since he was a child, but later when he was bought into Tongrentang, his adoptive mother treated him very well, so the living conditions were still quite good, of course, he was also treated unfairly because of such a relationship, so there is no need to go into detail here.

Generally speaking, in addition to the process of being sold when he was a child, Guo Baochang's childhood life was still living in a wealthy environment, so it also led to his view of money not so seriously.

"Mr. Guo, this time it's my thank you, come to help us shoot, if there's anything wrong in a while, you can give me a lot of advice!" Wu Jianye said modestly.

Guo Baochang joked: "Now who doesn't say that Wu Jianye is our first director in China, who can still guide you!"

Wu Jianye: "You laugh at me!"

The two chatted and walked towards the back of the school.

Although Tangting Culture has built a studio here, it has not moved the basic layout of the college, but only set up a studio at the back of the college, and this land is also newly bought!

At this time, Wang Xiaoshuai was already commanding the behind-the-scenes staff of "The World of Chu Xing", and he had already set up filming equipment here!

After seeing Wu Jianye and the others, he hurriedly ran over, and first said to Guo Baochang respectfully: "Teacher Guo!"

Wu Jianye smiled and introduced Guo Baochang: "His name is Wang Xiaoshuai, and he is also a student who graduated from the directing department of our college!"

Guo Baochang immediately felt a lot more cordial when he heard that Wang Xiaoshuai was also a graduate of the directing department of the Film Academy.

"Haha, that's right, Xiao Shuai, the two of us are authentic brothers, and Xiao Wu and Xiao Zhang are not the same thing at all!"

Wu Jianye is a student of the Fine Arts Department of the Film Academy, Zhang Yimou, and Zhao Fei are students of the Photography Department of the Film Academy.

Wang Xiaoshuai scratched his head, he didn't know what to say, where was Guo Baochang's identity and status, so he could naturally ridicule Wu Jianye and Zhang Yimou at will.

But Wang Xiaoshuai can't do it, now the names of the fifth-generation directors in China are earth-shattering, and Wu Jianye and Zhang Yimou are the two most dazzling stars, and their status is much higher than Wang Xiaoshuai.

In the end, Wang Xiaoshuai had no choice but to change the topic and said: "Director Wu, the preparations here are all ready, you can also put on makeup and prepare for shooting!"

Wu Jianye had no opinion on this, and took Guo Baochang and others to the makeshift dressing room and began to put on makeup.

Because the director that Wu Jianye wants to play is older than Wu Jianye's actual age, Wu Jianye is older in makeup, while Zhang Yimou is younger.

So after they finished putting on makeup, Wu Jianye looked at Zhang Yimou, who was at least a few years younger, and laughed: "Lao Mouzi, you have a second spring!"

Zhang Yimou looked at himself in the mirror and said with a wry smile: "That's you, if you change the second person, I can't come, don't you know, Lu Wei knew that I was going to make a cameo with you, but he talked about me for several days!"

The filming in Zhu Xinzhuang's studio took at least two weeks, which is definitely a precious time for Zhang Yimou, who has entered a critical time in the preparation of "Alive".

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, Kai Ge's side will only start "Farewell My Concubine" next month, and the filming will be four or five months later, you have to wait!"

Zhang Yimou's "Alive" starring Ge You and Gong Li, and both of them participated in Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" at the same time, so the two want to join Zhang Yimou's "Alive", as Wu Jianye said, and have to wait!

Zhang Yimou said: "You don't fool me, we are all doing this, who doesn't know how important the preliminary preparations are, I don't care, you have to compensate me!"

Wu Jianye was slightly stunned, and then scolded with a smile: "Okay, Lao Mouzi, you are a little bad at learning now, and you are starting to blackmail, this is not the same you used to be!"

Zhang Yimou obviously rarely does this kind of thing, so when Wu Jianye said this, Zhang Yimou was a little embarrassed.

Wu Jianye was not polite, and asked with a smile: "Say, is there a problem with the budget!"

Zhang Yimou laughed and said, "There is no problem now, but I am afraid that there will be problems in the future!"

Then Zhang Yimou explained: "Have you ever worried about making a movie, who of us didn't deduct and search for filming!"

After hearing this, Wu Jianye immediately became unhappy and said: "I'm not worried about money, that's because I have the ability to sell the movie at a good price!"

Zhang Yimou can only be speechless about this, he and Chen Kaige are known as the best fifth-generation directors in China under Wu Jianye, but the two also know that in terms of movies, the gap between the two and Wu Jianye is all-round.

Whether it's in terms of awards or box office.

In terms of awards, when the two were still working hard to win their first European film festival award, Wu Jianye was already about to win the awards of the three major film festivals.

Up to now, Wu Jianye has only lacked a Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, but he has a Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival!

As for the box office, not to mention!

Except for Wu Jianye's first movie "The Red Lantern Hangs High", any of Wu Jianye's remaining four movies can beat the box office of all the movies shot by the two of them so far.......

This is the sorrow of the two!

Guo Baochang next to him looked at where the two were arguing, and he was also smiling, Guo Baochang was still very excited about today's cameo.

Although he doesn't have many scenes, it is estimated that it will only be a week's thing, but this experience makes Guo Baochang very curious, and the director's cameo in the movie seems to be a good idea.

Several of them are big men, and it naturally doesn't take long to put on makeup, and more than half an hour later, Wu Jianye took Zhang Yimou and others into the studio and began formal shooting.

Because he wants to participate in the performance, at this time, Wang Xiaoshuai has already replaced Wu Jianye to sit in front of the camera and implement the right of director.

Wu Jianye began to brew his emotions.

With Wang Xiaoshuai's order, Wu Jianye's performance began.

At this time, Wu Jianye was wearing a beret, glasses, and a velvet sweater, looking very elegant.

This scene is a monologue by the director played by Wu Jianye, so only I Jianye is performing alone, while Zhang Yimou and Guo Baochang are sitting outside watching Wu Jianye's performance.

Guo Baochang looked at it for a while and said with a smile: "Xiao Wu's acting skills are good!"

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "When Lao Wu wrote the script of "Peacock Princess", Teacher Situ still robbed Teacher Li Jushan of people, and Lao Wu said that he wanted to learn acting, but I didn't expect Lao Wu to be so good at directing achievements!"

The two just chatted briefly, and then looked seriously at where Wu Jianye performed, although both of them are directors now, they will definitely be on the stage after a while, so no one wants to lose face in each other's eyes.

After a scene ended, Wu Jianye walked in front of the camera and watched his performance back.

But after reading it, Wu Jianye shook his head slightly and said, "This is not right, let's remake it!"

Wang Xiaoshuai looked at Wu Jianye with some incomprehension: "Director Wu, I feel that you are very good like this!"

Wu Jianye explained: "No, the director is not a bad person, and he can't say that, at least the director himself doesn't think that he is doing something wrong, so the way I give this director is not right!"

In the camera, the corners of Wu Jianye's mouth will occasionally be slightly hooked, giving the director some sense of villainy that he shouldn't have!

Zhang Yimou nodded on the side, expressing his agreement with Wu Jianye's opinion: "Yes, I have already read the script of this movie, this director has not thought that he is doing something wrong from beginning to end, in his opinion, everything is right about him, and even he can have some self-satisfaction occasionally, but the sense of evil must not appear in him!"

Wang Xiaoshuai saw that Wu Jianye and Zhang Yimou both said so, where else was there anything to say, so he had to let the crew prepare and reshoot the shot just now.

Guo Baogang patted Wang Xiaoshuai on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Boy, study hard, it's not easy to get guidance from the two of them!"

Wang Xiaoshuai smiled and nodded.

At this time, everyone saw that Zhu Yan drove a car with a yellow face to the shooting site.
