Chapter 226: Lesson 1
Debates about stars and actors, between actors and performing artists, from the Han and Tang dynasties to the quantum age, have been the subject of much conversation. {with}{dream} Ρ{suimΠ΅ng][lΔ}
Always, never broken....
In the early 50s, in Xiangjiang, the general public never considered this issue, in their hearts, actors are stars, stars are actors, what is the difference between the two......
In the future, the 'Golden Harvest Eight Sons', who will be slightly famous in the Chinese film and television industry, are all newcomers who have just stepped into the film and television industry at this time, and they are naturally even more ignorant.
But!
These eight people immediately ushered in the first lesson that affected their lives.
He has played various roles such as Xiaosheng, emperor, military generals and scholars, and was popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan in the fifties and sixties, with the reputation of "Emperor Xiaosheng", and his real name is Wang Yumin.
"At that time, the eight of us, like primary school students, sat in rows, and listened carefully to 'Teacher Yang' to teach us, and I still remember what 'Teacher Yang' said at that time, and I still remember it very well. β
"What did he say......
"Teacher Yang said: 'If Chinese films want to have stars, they should be good actors with cultural significance. So what makes a good actor? It's the kind of actor who can stand the test of time and various roles, and still maintain his brilliance. ββ
"I recall this passage now, and I am still deeply moved. β
"It's ridiculous, before 62 years, according to this standard, I always thought I was a good actor, but after 62 years, I found out that I was far behind, and I escaped from the battle, which was worse than Qiao Hong and Hu Feng. β
"So, now that I think about it, Mr. Yang is a good actor, just like last year he came out and tossed casually, and this year he won an Academy Award. β
"Haha-"
Zhao Lei's hearty smile at the end was more like a nostalgia for the past.
But this laughter traveled through space and time, slowly showing a scene more than 30 years ago in front of the world, letting people know how the other third-generation directors of Chinese films viewed film and art at that time.
Let's turn back the clock, go back to the rehearsal room, and go live to see what it was like.
Just one eye......
We will find that the scene unfolded in front of us is slightly different from Mr. Zhao Lei's recollection.
The future 'Eight Sons of Jiahe' did not sit in a row as Mr. Zhao Lei said, but stood in a row, listening to Yang Qiu at the top, talking eloquently there.
And the eight sons have different expressions.
Qiao Hong's wooden face was almost expressionless; Xi Chongjian was a little restless, looking left and right from time to time; Zhang Yufang frowned deeply and clenched his fists hard; Zeng Yi accidentally yawned and hurriedly covered his mouth in fright.
Zhang Yang nodded while listening, patted his chest and realized that he didn't have a pen; Wang Yumin noticed Zhang Yang's movements, raised his eyes and glanced at him suspiciously; Zhang Bingqian looked at his head with shiny eyes, and his hands were clenched together with excitement.
Only Hu Feng was listening to the lecture a little normally.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you and your friends have now started a new profession. This new profession is what you are eagerly looking forward to. But I don't think you've got what you want, on the contrary, but you're at the beginning of getting there. β
Yang Qiu raised his right hand lightly, raised his eyes to look at the ignorant eight people in front of him, and pointed his index finger upwards and continued: "I'm here to provide you with a chance, a chance to become a good actor." As for the end, what will be the result? Whether to become a good actor or a star who is noticed, most of it still depends on everyone's own efforts. β
"So, before I start studying, I have four pieces of advice for you. β
"First, commercialization is inevitable in the film industry, but you, as actors, must not willfully move towards commercialization. β
"Second, to take the above point, if Chinese movies want to have stars, they should be good actors with cultural significance......"
"Third, in order to do a good job in the profession of actor, you must be punctual and trustworthy, loyal and moral. β
"Fourth, although you are starting at the same time now, you will come from the same place, and I hope you will cherish every effort and opportunity. β
"Thank you. β
The first few paragraphs of Yang Qiu's first few paragraphs were basically clichΓ©s, and the eight people in the training class were all well-educated, and they naturally had a strong immunity to this kind of principal-style reprimand.
But when the four-point proposal came out, everyone was silent with a serious face.
Even the most cynical Xi Chongjian, as well as the somewhat absent-minded Zeng Yi, stood up straight.
It's really a bit of the 'serious' flavor in Zhao Lei's mouth.
Yang Qiu looked at everyone's attitude, nodded with satisfaction, and gestured to Cheng Gang next to him and introduced: "Everyone, this is Director Cheng Gang, the head teacher of your training class, if you have any questions that you don't understand as an actor in the future, you can ask him, of course, you can also ask me, well, if you have any difficulties in life, you can also ......"
"Yang, Boss Yang?!"
In the crowd of students, a girl suddenly raised her right hand, interrupting Yang Qiu's conversation, causing everyone around to look sideways.
I could see that the girl was very nervous, not only the raised right hand trembled slightly, but even her face turned a little pale, perhaps because she was too nervous, and the girl bit her lip hard.
Yang Qiu smiled slightly, stretched out his right hand with a calm face and said, "This, well, classmate Zhang Yufang, do you have a problem?"
You're a jade fan! Your whole family is a jade ......
Grace complained in her heart for a few words, and finally felt less nervous, so she immediately put her hand down, looked at Yang Qiu and stumbled and said, "Yang, Boss Yang, I ......"
"Zhang Yufang, in this rehearsal room, we are not an employer and an employee, you can call me a teacher. β
"Uh-" Grace choked on Yang Qiu's snatch, and paused for three or four seconds before reacting and continuing: "Yang, Teacher Yang, I have a performance question I want to ask you. β
Heckling ββ!
There was a burst of surprise around them, and everyone else looked at Grace with a strange expression, even Yang Qiu raised his eyebrows, looked at the girl with a serious face in front of him, stood up slightly straight, and said suspiciously: "Classmate Zhang, what's wrong with you?"
"IβI'd like to ask. Grace's chest rose and fell twice, she looked sideways slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally puffed up her chest and said, "I want to ask, what is the reason for setting the third question of our recruitment exam?!"
Uproarββ!
What was even more sensational than just now, several people followed the next door and bit their ears, after all, everyone at the scene had experienced the third question, and they were all complaining about the inexplicable third question.
But I was puzzled.
Looking at the puzzled look of everyone at the scene, Yang Qiu smiled slightly, looked at the girl in front of him and said, "That classmate Zhang, what do you think is the reason why I set it up?"
β¦β¦
'What else could it be!'
Zhang Yufang complained for a while, but she didn't dare to say it, she had to think for two or three seconds, then raised her head and said, "I don't think there's a reason!"
"Huh?"
"I think there's just no reason, because the third question doesn't make sense. β
"No sense? ha-" Yang Qiu suddenly chuckled, looked at the innocent girl in front of him and said, "Then do you think the third question can be canceled?"
"Yes!"
Grace nodded heavily, her eyes radiating an inexplicable brilliance.
