Chapter 53: Romance of the Three Kingdoms
In November, it is early winter, and many old professors on the campus of Suncheon Film Academy have begun to wear thick cotton clothes, but young people are not afraid of the cold and love beauty, so they are still wearing thin clothes.
In the morning, the sun shines through the window.
Li Qian deliberately found a seat by the window, and while listening carefully, he wrote down a few words or sentences in his notebook from time to time.
This class is the history of world cinema, a big class for the whole grade, and all students in the class of '96, regardless of department, have to take it. The old professor who taught the lecture is called Jiang Zhugong, who is over 60 years old this year, his gray hair is combed without mess, and his voice is like a loud bell, it is said that he was born in drama back then, according to his own words, and then a line is said lightly, so that the people sitting in the last row of the theater can hear it clearly, that is the basic skill, so a classroom of 300 people is just a 300-person classroom, for the old man, it is easy.
Sitting on Li Qian's left is the fifth child in the same dormitory, named Fu Xuelong, a pure technical idiot, to put it simply, as long as he has a book in his hand or a camera, then basically even if a fairy beauty passes by him, no one will look at it - unless he thinks that this girl, or the color of her clothes, is very suitable for his photographic composition at this time.
On the left side of Fu Xuelong, sitting in the dormitory, Lu Bin, he also likes photography very much, and he is very serious in class, but compared with Fu Xuelong's technical idiot, his whole person is simply much cuter, generous, righteous, and always the one who is not short of money at hand, anyway, as long as everyone goes out to eat together, the person who secretly goes to settle the account first, at least half of the time it is him.
On the left of Lu Bin is Li Qian, the boss of their dormitory, and the natural head of the dormitory, named Liu Xueyi, who has a very calm temperament. And unlike Fu Xuelong, who always listens to a class and remembers it once he listens to it, and never bothers to take any notes, or Li Qian, who never remembers a piece of paper after listening to a class, Lu Bin's class notes are at least several pages in every class, and he is the kind of good student who can't wait to write down every word the teacher says and memorize it silently.
There are four of them. I held a whole row of classrooms along the south aisle.
The other two in the dormitory, Song Yupin and Xue Changlong, sat in the front row of Li Qian.
The first-year students, who have just entered the university, are quite honest and have not learned to skip classes yet, so this large classroom, which can accommodate more than 300 people at the same time, is full at this time.
In the back row in the middle of the classroom are more than a dozen girls from their acting department.
I have to say. Even the occasional glance is pleasing to the eye.
Song Yupin likes to watch it the most.
When he first entered the university, he ran around the campus with the camera in the department, and when he saw a girl, he wanted to take pictures of others, and then he was beaten by someone, and for this reason, it almost evolved into a big fight between Li Qian's dormitory and a dormitory in the director department. Everyone didn't know each other, so they sat down together and had a drink. On the contrary, they all became friends, the girl who asked Song Yupin to hold and had to take pictures of others, and she still shy away from Song Yupin.
When people are serious, time flies very quickly.
Soon, the bell rang for the end of class, and the old professor quickly closed the topic. Announcing the end of class.
Film school classes are all one and a half hours each, but there will be a ten-minute break in the middle of the class. Teacher Jiang announced the end of class, and the classroom immediately became lively.
Getting up, walking, talking, coughing, laughing......
The old professor sat down in silence on a chair next to the podium, and began to close his eyes and recuperate. Prepare for the second half of the class, but in the classroom, there is already a lot of talk at this time.
The casting director of the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" greeted the film school to pick actors, and it was only one night later, and it had already spread all over the school, and now everyone is talking about it.
Well, at the beginning of this year, it was already reported in China that the Ministry of Culture joined hands with Huaxia TV to officially start the preparation and project establishment of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" TV series, but then there was no news, everyone speculated that in the face of the adaptation of such a long masterpiece, the producer must have been torn up in the script, and even some media were pessimistic that it was almost impossible to shoot such a magnificent war history, so it is very likely that the final result will be a failure.
But who would have thought that there was no movement for more than half a year, and finally there was movement, and the first action of the producer was to run to the film academy to pick out the actors-everyone knows that a novel like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that has been circulated for hundreds of years and has already become an absolute classic in the minds of all Chinese people, if you don't shoot it, as long as you shoot it, it's hard to say whether the classic is classic or not, but it will definitely become the most popular drama.
Especially in the acting department, it's okay to say that the freshman and sophomore years are still thin, after all, the foundation is still thin, and the juniors and seniors are like crazy, looking at that posture, they just want to go in with their heads, even if it is to play a small role.
And even students like the Department of Photography, the Department of Screenwriting, and the Department of Directing, who know that they have nothing to do with them, are all very concerned, and they chat enthusiastically when they catch the air.
At this time, Song Yupin and Xue Changlong also turned around, Song Yupin looked excited, his eyes glanced at the large number of beauties in the acting department over there, and said gossipsily: "See, they are all excited, I guess they are also talking about this! Hey, you say, the seven beauties of the Three Kingdoms, how many can our school get?"
Li Qian smiled, didn't speak, just listened to them.
Last night, we discussed it in the dormitory until midnight, and successfully summarized the so-called seven beauties of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, they are: Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Sun Shangxiang, Diao Chan, Mrs. Gan, Zhen Mi, and Mrs. Zou.
Of course, this is just a bunch of college dogs and idle eggs summed up according to the original work of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", as for whether the producers will completely follow the description of the original book to write the script, and whether all the characters in the original book will be retained, no one knows.
At this time, Lu Bin thought for a while and said, "Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Zou, there must be no play, they are all required to be around thirty years old, right? The remaining five ...... Well, it is said that the crew will go to schools such as Chinese opera, in short, the whole country will cast a net. Pick them one by one, and estimate that our school can grab one or two of them?"
Song Yupin's eyes lit up at this time, and he talked eloquently, "I have carefully analyzed it, Senior Sister Qin Jingjing of the 93-level performance department of our school. You look at other people's faces, that skin, and then look at other people's waists, that's a smile on the back of a hundred beautiful people, I tell you, proper Diao Chan!"
Qin Jingjing is known as the first beauty of Shuntian Film Academy, counting four years forward, and then four years later, among the seven students in the seven years before and after. There are countless beauties, but in front of her, they are all pressed down.
There is no doubt that she has been a legendary beauty in the film school in recent years, and she is the dream lover of almost all male students in the film school. Li Qian's few in their bedroom, of course, are no exception.
Therefore, as soon as the topic of Song Yupin came out, it immediately won everyone's unanimous support.
The boys sitting in the front and back rows of the seats didn't know which department they belonged to. At this time, it is not surprising that he joined the heated discussion.
Then, what junior is a certain senior sister suitable to play Zhen Mi. A sophomore is suitable for playing Sun Shangxiang, including a certain beauty from the 96-level acting department who is suitable for playing Xiao Qiao and the like...... In short, just listen to it, it seems that there is no need for other crews to choose anything at all, and a group of film school students have already directly assigned them all the roles.
At this time, several girls came over giggling. A few steps away, the leader of a girl in a small red jacket couldn't help but smile and said, "Hey, Song Yupin, what are you gossiping?"
Several boys turned their heads to look over when they heard this, and saw that it was Sun Yuting. Several people in Li Qian's dormitory began to laugh.
Sure enough, when Song Yupin saw her, she immediately opened her mouth like a mouse seeing a cat, didn't dare to say anything, and obediently called "sister".
Well, Sun Yuting, the talented girl of this year's directing department. This year, the director department recruited a total of 28 students, of which there are only five girls, known as the five golden flowers, among them, Sun Yuting is the most beautiful, and she is so beautiful that she is also qualified to compete for the level of the class flower in the acting department, plus she is free and easy, and she can talk and laugh with boys, so among the students in this year, she is very popular.
Last time, Song Yupin grabbed a beautiful woman in the performance department and had to take pictures of others, but the relationship between people and Sun Yuting was very strong, and they called people directly, Sun Yuting was very annoyed, a phone call passed, and a group of people came to the director department, which directly scared Song Yupin, and later everyone drank a meal and became friends, Song Yupin also made her eldest sister obedient, and called her sister when she met shamelessly, just as honest as she wanted.
At this time, with the addition of several girls, everyone immediately chatted more and more hotly.
Li Qian listened to them talk a few words at first, but soon began to wander.
Well, when he heard that such a TV series was going to be filmed, it was impossible for him not to think of the TV series in his previous life - of course it was "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", not "Three Kingdoms".
Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang, Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei in that play have long been irreplaceable classic characters in his heart. And in the face of such a TV series that is about to start filming, he really can't imagine whether this TV series in this time and space can bring him some kind of surprise.
Well, it is said that the investment and support above are extremely strong, TV series producer and chief director Feng Yumin, who has been the director of the production department of Huaxia TV for many years, has given birth to many classic dramas under his hands, and in the film and television industry, it can be regarded as a master, filming this drama, he must have brought the best TV drama production team in China at present, actors or something, and almost all over the country can be picked at will, it is estimated that no one will refuse to act after being selected.
So, you can probably still look forward to it.
Maybe in the end, it still can't surpass the classic in Li Qian's heart whose status has been almost solidified, but, who knows, maybe aside from the preconceived influence, this time and space is about to be born, and it is also a classic!
In the middle of everyone's discussion, I don't know what I said, Sun Yuting laughed without any scruples, and then, she glanced at Li Qian, who was sitting at the innermost window, and suddenly asked, "Hey, Team Li, what do you want?"
Li Qian suddenly came back to his senses, smiled, and said, "I didn't think about anything, listen to you!"
Sun Yuting sighed, "Hey, I heard that you have a girlfriend? Studying acting in Chinese opera? Ask her to come over another day to meet together, and let our behind-the-scenes casting directors give comments to see what role she is suitable for." ”
Li Qian laughed when he heard this, but before he could speak, Song Yupin laughed hesitantly, "You haven't seen it, I saw it with Lao Lu last time, our second sister-in-law looks good, hey, beautiful! I tell you, it's definitely the same level as Qin Jingjing!" While speaking, he also bypassed Fu Xuelong, patted Li Qian's shoulder, and said: "Second brother, let me tell you, sister-in-law is definitely suitable for playing Xiao Qiao, the little jasper is beautiful and fragrant, and she didn't run!"
Li Qian smiled, "It's a pity that you said it doesn't count!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
At this time, the class bell rang, and Li Qian knocked on the desk, "Go back, go back, go to class!"
Sun Yuting reluctantly walked back, and did not forget to turn around and tell me as she walked, "Call me when you bring someone again!"
Li Qian smiled and was silent.
At the beginning of the second half of the class, Professor Jiang's voice rang again, like a bell, and it was simple to understand.
But less than ten minutes after his class started, a group of people suddenly appeared at the door of the classroom, Professor Jiang turned his head to look, then stopped teaching, walked to the door and said a few words to them, and then walked back, picked up the lesson plan and clamped it to the armpit, and said, "Your leaders have something, let's continue the next class", and then turned around and left.
There was some buzz in the classroom.
Soon, a professor from the acting department who everyone knew led the team, including several teachers from film schools, and a few people who looked very eye-catching at a glance, and walked into the classroom one after another.
The suave professor of the acting department walked up to the podium, knocked on the blackboard, and said, "Students, be quiet, be quiet." ”
The classroom gradually fell silent, and then the professor spoke, "Everyone should have heard about it. That's right, the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on Huaxia TV has been established, and the first one came to our film academy, planning to pick a few young actors, and the academy is supportive of this matter. Give leave, no credit will be deducted. According to the meaning of the director team, then this casting will start from our freshman year, and then ...... Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, I want to emphasize here, in addition to the students in the acting department, students from other departments can also participate in the interview if they are willing to go to the play, you just need to go to your counselor to sign up, then, next, let's welcome the producer and chief director of the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Director Feng Yumin Feng, and say a few words to you. ”
