Chapter 63: Casting the Actors
For the emerging form of stage performance such as sketches, the superior leaders are still very cautious.
After Mr. Huang's program list was submitted, the superiors conducted preliminary approval, and the number of sketches was limited to one.
Other programs are still dominated by singing and dancing or cross talk.
Cheng Guanli didn't expect that there would be a second person to submit a sketch.
"Teacher, who voted for the other script, is it also from the stage?"
"Well, it's Wang Yuliang, the young choreographer assigned to the stage after graduating from the Central Opera last year, is your strong competitor, if Chen Xiaoer and Lao Mao can't come to perform this time, the effect of your script will be greatly reduced."
"Hey, it turned out to be Brother Liang Zi, I understand, then I have to use twelve points of energy."
This Wang Yuliang is three years older than Cheng Guanli, and he is a serious professional.
When the college entrance examination was not resumed, he went to college in the central opera as a soldier of workers and peasants.
not only received a systematic and professional education, but also followed the ears and eyes of his uncle Wang Jingyu, and he has long become a qualified choreographer.
But sometimes, fate always likes to play jokes with people.
After Wang Yuliang entered the central station last year, his future is bright, and he is preparing to let go of his hands and feet to show revenge.
As a result, within a few months, Cheng Guanli came back from the northwest.
Cheng Guanli, who came back from the queue, was in full swing, and it can be said that God blocked and killed God and Buddha.
Not only in life, but also in work.
First of all, together with Mr. Huang, he proposed the concept of the Spring Festival Gala and sketches broadcast live on national TV, and rehearsed the first sketch.
And at the end of the year, an excellent staff New Year Gala was successfully held.
Now he is writing and directing the noodle eating script, which makes the party reach an unprecedented height.
Cheng Guanli's light completely covered Wang Yuliang.
The relationship between the two people is usually okay, that is, an ordinary colleague relationship, but they haven't thought about it carefully.
Therefore, Wang Yuliang was not jealous of Cheng Guanli's success, but admired it, and the more he admired, the more he wanted to defeat Cheng Guanli to prove his talent.
Wang Yuliang, who has been waiting for an opportunity, heard that Cheng Guanli's sketch script was beaten down not long ago, and immediately felt that Cheng Guanli's light was not impossible to break through.
Wang Yuliang felt that he was suppressed by the momentum of Cheng Guanli's appearance last year.
Now Cheng Guanli should be lacking in stamina, and he is a high-achieving student from a professional class, so he can't be scared.
Whether in terms of professional knowledge or connections, he is no worse than Cheng Guanli.
Why can't you give it a try?
Thinking of this, Wang Yuliang immediately started to write the script, and wrote one in two days, but he didn't give it directly to Mr. Huang at first.
Instead, my uncle Wang Jingyu looked at it and hoped that my uncle would give him an opinion.
Mr. Wang's performance in the drama "The Merchant of Venice" last year was Shylock, and he just won the first prize for acting from his superiors.
It can be said that it is the top professional of the stage play.
As a result, Mr. Wang saw it and immediately crossed him.
"No! Last year, I was invited to watch the party, and I was deeply impressed by the two sketches edited by Xiao Cheng, the second of which is now written and directed, and the effect is better than the first one, do you know why? ”
"Why?"
"Because the second one can bring people laughter, his first sketch "Borrowing Money", although funny and humorous is educational, but more praise, irony and education, you said that we are receiving education 365 days a year, Chinese New Year's Eve should put down the burden, it is pure joy, joy is not vulgar, funny and not hateful, so the second sketch can make people laugh out loud when they put down the burden in their hearts."
Wang Yuliang nodded and said, "I understand, uncle, this sketch I wrote is too formalized." ”
Teacher Wang said with a smile: "Your sketch, it was appropriate to act five years ago, but not now, and even more so in the future, if you can't keep up with the development of the social environment, you will fall behind. ”
"Yes, yes, I understand, I'll go back and change it."
With Mr. Wang's guidance, Wang Yuliang changed it five times in a row, and finally passed Mr. Wang's first level last night.
The script tells the story of a hilarious incident that happened when two people went shopping to buy something.
From a wife with a spicy and fierce personality, compared to a husband who is always a little cautious.
The extreme contrast sets off the completely different personalities of the two people.
The wife spends lavishly, and the husband pretends to be an abacus in his heart to pick and search.
Coupled with the dense linguistic baggage, an excellent script comes out.
The next morning, Wang Yuliang first sent the script to Mr. Huang's office.
"Director Huang, haven't you come to work yet?"
"He can't come in the morning, there is something at home, come in the afternoon, find him something?"
Wang Yuliang smiled: "It's okay, I just want to say hello to him, I also want to vote for a sketch script, didn't he write a book and was beaten back?" I have to remind him not to be lazy, or I'll have to rehearse this year's sketches. ”
As he spoke, he put the sketch script on the table.
Mr. Huang picked it up and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, there will be better works when there is competition, and we will always encourage the competition of the right and bright!" ”
"Don't just laugh, give me a review."
"It's well written, it's not a loss, it's from a professional class, the differences and contradictions in the characters are obvious, and it's not annoying, the baggage is dense, and there is a specially designed 'wrong logic', this time you compare it with the audience." ”
Wang Yuliang was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I'm relieved to have your words, you don't know, I've changed it five or six times." ”
"Haha, your uncle Lao Wang helped you check the gates, right? Yes, I'll talk to Guan Li in the afternoon, let him hurry up, if he can't write it when it's due, then it's not comparable, just use yours. ”
"Don't comfort me so much, I won't be unable to write the ceremony, it is estimated that he can write ten!"
"Hahaha, then we've got eyes."
Mr. Huang thought that after Guan Li knew that someone had submitted an excellent script, he would immediately hurry up and write his own script.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Guanli came with the script in the afternoon.
And the script is slightly higher than Wang Yuliang's, and the high is higher than the interpretation of the superior leaders.
Wang Yuliang's script is really funny, but compared to eating noodles and making movies, there is still a lack of stamina, and there are obvious traces of templates, which should be the reason for his professional background.
Since eating noodles and making movies can't be performed at this party, his book is even more dangerous.
But Cheng Guanli has experience, just like the first sketch "Borrowing Money", he would rather laugh and have less baggage, but also be cautious.
This time, "The Cook and the Shopkeeper" continues the cautious attitude of "Borrowing Money".
From Mr. Huang's evaluation alone, Cheng Guanli's has already won, and it depends on what actors the two sides are looking for to perform in the next step.
After all, the actor adds more to the script.
"Guanli, Chen Xiaoer is in the capital, but Lao Mao'er will shoot the Wrangler in the Qilian Mountain Ranch, can you find a replacement?"
Cheng Guanli thought for a while and said: "I really can't delay the filming work of the crew, fortunately, the chef's character is an upright and not tactful person, so I can simply bring myself here." ”
Teacher Huang was surprised: "Me? You're based on a real story, huh? ”
"Hehe, it's a ridiculous thing about my restaurant and another restaurant, but fortunately, the selection is not an official performance, so I can only bring in Chef Zhao himself."
Teacher Huang thought about it, and suddenly clapped his hands and said: "Okay, this is from life, I think this selection, using Chef Zhao himself to play can add points to your script, stable!" ”
