Chapter 54: Zhao Yun and Ma Chao?
Suncheon Film Academy is, of course, the highest institution in the domestic film circle, although all those who stay in school are still students who have not graduated, but almost every year, there are many film and TV drama crews who come to the school to recruit actors.
If nothing else, firstly, students of the film academy, even if they have only studied here for one or two years, must already have a certain professional foundation, and it is easier to produce things with a little training, and secondly, because of the students, it is cheap, and it can save a lot of expenses compared to the cost of inviting actors who have become famous to play.
As for students taking over the play, the school's consistent attitude is not to support or oppose it, in short, you just need to take enough credits.
But this time, it was the school that publicly expressed its support and openly encouraged students to sign up for auditions, which shows the strength of support for the drama "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" from top to bottom - of course, this is definitely inseparable from the cooperation of the Ministry of Culture and Huaxia TV.
In addition, considering the special political status of Huaxia TV in China, Feng Yumin and Feng Dao, who are the directors of the production department of Huaxia TV, have a high position in the industry. It can even be said that he is a first-class celebrity in the domestic TV circle. As soon as the casting began, he personally came to the Suncheon Film Academy to show his attention, which is probably one of the reasons why the school agreed to give the green light.
Of course, Feng Yumin's coming to the school is more significant than expressing his position, so even if he speaks on stage, it is a very short sentence to explain the importance of the Three Kingdoms drama, the support from top to bottom, and the expectations of the industry, and then look forward to the performance of the students, and then leave the stage in applause.
Next, the group had to go through every grade. And those who stay. is the counselor of the 96 class acting department. He is responsible for greeting and arranging for the students of this year's acting department to attend the auditions one by one.
Of course, the other departments should do what they should do, and at best, they will leave classes early.
It is estimated that other departments will sign up for an audition for a certain role, and it may not be none, but it will certainly not be too much, after all, it is really a little wrong for you to let a person who carries a camera or writes a script to act.
Anyway, for a few people in Li Qian's dormitory. None of them are interested, at best, everyone continues to gossip about who can be chosen, who can play what, and so on, other than that, what should they do.
The class ended half an hour early, and there was no class in the second period, so there was suddenly a large amount of time free, Li Qian and the others went back to the dormitory to change their clothes and ran to the playground to play basketball.
The scale of teaching in film schools is small. The school itself also occupies a small area, so. Although the group played basketball on the playground, the playground was not far from the school building, and occasionally a glance could still see a large number of acting students lining up outside the door, one entering one and another again.
Then, by the afternoon of the same day, the news gradually spread.
It is said that the director team who came to cast has selected a group of people, among which Zhu Qiang from the 96-level acting department was selected - he is tall and thin, very delicate, and it is rumored that he may play Cao Zhi, some people say it is Yang Xiu, and some people say that it is Zhuge Jun, of course, it is all unconfirmed gossip.
In addition, several other grades in the performance department are also said to have their own gains, and the most concerned among them is undoubtedly Qin Jingjing, who was selected unexpectedly. It is said that after watching her performance, it was Director Feng Yumin who personally made the decision and directly gave her a decision, but the role is not known yet, it is similar to Zhu Qiang's, and it is also a variety of rumors, in short, as long as it is really on the play in the end, there will definitely be a big vase.
Qin Jingjing is said to be a person who is very obsessed with drama, because she is beautiful, many of the crews who have come to school to pick actors over the years have fallen in love with her at a glance, but she has always insisted on focusing on her studies, and she has never taken a single play.
It is said that the reason is that she also knows that she is too beautiful, and she also understands that many crews are looking for her to let her play a vase, so she is afraid that she will fix herself in the role of a vase from the beginning, so she simply doesn't take any plays, only concentrates on her acting skills, and thinks that she will take on the drama seriously after graduation, and choose a few good roles seriously.
But this time, I don't know if it's because I'm about to graduate, or if the temptation of the drama "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is too great, in short, it is said that after director Feng Yumin made the decision, she didn't say anything like not answering.
All of a sudden, the entire Suncheon Film Academy was disturbed, and there was gossip about the casting of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" everywhere, but Li Qian had nothing to do with himself, in addition to normal classes, he preferred to walk around alone with a camera, shoot some of the simplest characters and scenes in the school, and carefully figure out the composition and color of photography.
The four classes of students from the acting department of Suncheon Film Academy combined, there were only about 100 people, so the casting went quickly, and it was said that it was over on the same day, but the next day, when Li Qian and the others went to class, they found that there were still a few strange people walking back and forth in the teaching building - they were either guarding the entrance of the teaching building, or walking back and forth in various classrooms, study rooms, and rehearsal rooms, staring at people everywhere, and for a while, Li Qian and the others were also a little confused.
Then, in the afternoon of the same day, Li Qian and the others were in a video art class, but the counselor suddenly came over, and after greeting the teacher who was teaching, he looked directly at Li Qian, beckoned, and said, "Li Qian, you come out, come, I have something to do with you!"
Li Qian was a little stunned.
Their counselor's name is Han Shunzhang, who is in the second year of graduate school in the photography department of the Film Academy, and he is quite a kind person, saying that he is a counselor, but he is more like a senior brother, so usually Li Qian and his group of students get along well with him.
After leaving the classroom, Han Shunzhang patted him on the shoulder and said directly: "Don't ask anything, just follow me." ”
So Li Qian followed him with his head bored.
In the teaching and research room on the third floor, there were five or six people seated, there were a few familiar faces, and there were also a few fresh faces, among which the one sitting in the middle was Director Feng Yumin, whom he had met once that day.
Li Qian looked at this familiar formation, and quickly understood what it meant. He wondered how people fell in love with him.
Entered the door. He looked at the people in the room. First of all, he said, "Teachers, are you looking for the wrong person? I'm from the photography department!
When he saw him come in, Director Feng Yumin's eyes lit up. This tall man has a tall posture, and his face has a heroic energy, which is almost as if he is a certain figure of the Three Kingdoms in his mind.
In his opinion, it is simply a proper fit!
At this time, I heard the words. He smiled and said, "Yes, I know that you are from the photography department." Your name is Li Qian, right? Do you want to act?"
Li Qian first nodded, then quickly shook his head, and deliberately repeated: "Teacher, I studied photography. ”
At this time, without waiting for Director Feng to speak again, a middle-aged man sitting on the edge suddenly stood up, walked up to Li Qian, looked at him a few times, and suddenly asked, "Have you ever studied martial arts?"
"Uh......" Li Qian hesitated. But in the end, I decided to tell the truth, "Wild Road." Blind practice is not considered to have been learned. ”
The man looked at Li Qian and smiled, "Just look at the few steps you took just now, and the way you stand, I know that you have practiced! I still remember the man who squatted on the edge of the playground and smoked yesterday?
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and punched him in the chest!
He came down too suddenly, out of the subconscious reaction of a person who had practiced a few times, Li Qian staggered to push away his punch at that time, and at the same time hit the opponent's ribs with his left fist.
However, halfway through the punch, he stopped.
Well, the other party's hand is already waiting halfway.
Then, the other party withdrew his posture, smiled, and said: "Okay, the foundation is good, the reaction is fast, and the strength is not light!
Li Qian hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't pay off, teacher, I'm really practicing blindly." That one...... I really can't act!"
The man looked at him when he heard this, didn't say anything, and walked back to sit down, at this time, Director Feng Yumin opened his mouth and said with a smile: "I haven't learned, you can learn while acting, you are a student of the film academy, you can still not know it at all? It's better than those big soldiers in the army to learn faster, right?"
Li Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but soon, he understood what Director Feng meant.
People are looking for him to play an ordinary general.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is basically a political martial arts drama, the so-called political drama, of course, refers to the advice of the big bulls with IQ of more than 90, the world, and the so-called martial arts drama, there is no doubt about it, Guan Zhang, Zhao Ma, Huang Ma, and Lu Budian, Wei Xu Chu and other bull fork characters with unnatural force value.
To put it bluntly, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is actually a work that takes personal heroism to the extreme.
Let's not talk about Wendou, the ultimate protagonist is Zhuge Liang, who is almost a half-immortal with no last resort, as for martial arts, whether it is the original book or the version of the TV series in Li Qian's memory, there are many colorful passages that almost every Chinese person is familiar with. Like what three British battles Lu Bu, warm wine to kill Huaxiong, five levels to kill six generals, night battle Ma Chao, and Xu Chu naked fighting Ma Chao and so on.
Therefore, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms needs the most photogenic actors, one is a scribe, and the other is a military general.
Guan Zhang, Zhao Ma, Huang Zhuge Cao Cao and the like, then they will definitely not find ordinary actors, such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", even if it is an actor who has become famous, it is estimated that many people will rush to get on it, these important roles must be given to those people, but in addition, in addition, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms also needs many, many generals who may only show one side!
For example, a general of Hua Xiong's level, he must not have many shots, and the scene before the Tiger Prison is edited, which means that there is only a scene in that episode, and for example, Pan Feng and Fang Yue, these are all small roles that hang as soon as they appear, which are much weaker than Hua Xiong's scenes, but after all, they all have lenses, and they definitely can't just pull someone to play.
What's more, it is said that Director Feng is still the kind of style that if you don't shoot, you must shoot high-quality products as long as you shoot.
However, although "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a big drama, it is only a TV series after all, if you want to say that you play Guan Zhang Zhao Ma Huang, it is estimated that there are many people to rob, but a small role like Pan Feng, not to mention that the crew is reluctant to invite those famous actors for financial considerations, to be honest, even if you invite, people may not be willing to come, after all, the role is too small.
What should I do in this case?
Looking for extras?
It is said that the crew has the privilege of transferring people from the army to participate in the performance at any time, but do you really think that it is enough to play a military general? Even so, why do you have to find a layman when the film school has ready-made students?
So, well, whether it's because of Li Qian, a tall man, or because he seems to have a little martial arts skills, in short, he was chosen by others.
At this time, since he understood what the other party meant, Li Qian had to pretend to hesitate, but then insisted: "I'm sorry, Director Feng, I'm really ......."
Director Feng Yumin waved his hand with a smile, interrupted him, and asked, "Do you like to watch "Three Kingdoms"?"
There was nothing to say, Li Qian nodded and said, "I like it." ”
Director Feng Yumin smiled and asked: "Among those generals, do you particularly like them? For example, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao?"
Li Qian's heart suddenly jumped.
In a trance, he seems to have completely understood what the other party meant!
Let's just say, if it's really just to pick a few military generals who may have a few shots, and still need Feng Yumin to come forward in person?
Zhao Yun, Ma Chao?
Although it is not the protagonist, it is an absolutely important supporting role!
Seven in and seven out Zhao Zilong!
Weishui vs. Jinma Chao!
Handsome, handsome, heroic.
These two characters are among the few high-armed and good-looking in the entire Three Kingdoms, and they should be the most picky about the actors' figures, face shapes, etc., except for Guan and Zhang!
And to be honest, at least in the original stage, both characters have quite a lot of fans!
If you can really play such a role...... To be honest, it is almost impossible to say that Li Qian is not moved at all.
That's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!
A big drama like this, and it is the first time to shoot, it is easy to give the audience a preconceived impression, it can be said that as long as Feng Yumin's filming is not too bad, there is a chance that it will become a classic that will be praised by a generation.
Although the role of Zhao Yun and Ma Chao is definitely not as easy to be remembered as the protagonists such as Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao, being able to leave their own figure in such a classic drama must be a temptation that every actor can hardly refuse.
In Li Qian's positioning for himself in this life, an actor, a good actor, is a very important profession. (To be continued......)
