In the previous life, the Spring Festival was celebrated, and the relatives were gone on the first day of the new year, and this year was even if it was over, and the taste was basically dispersed in the second year of the new year, and now in this era, the Lunar New Year is obviously much grander.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Bei sent away Ma San'er and Ma Zhu'er, who were going south, and took them to pick up the station by the way.

It was agreed a year ago, and the Zhang family father and son came to the capital today.

Wrapped in a military coat, he waited in the square for an hour, his lips were frozen purple, and finally saw the Zhang family father and son coming out of the platform, and there was a young man with them, and if you took a closer look, it was Zhang Jinyuan, a little seven-year-old child who had seen in Shaoxing last time.

Originally, it was a candidate for Zhu Bajie recommended by Teacher Zhang to Yang Jie, but unfortunately now there is Ma Dehua, so I can only regretfully say sorry.

"Three Teacher Zhang, this way, this way."

Gu Bei rubbed his face twice vigorously, and shouted loudly, the train station was noisy, and he shouted a few times in a row before he finally attracted the attention of the Zhang family's father and son.

"It's been a long time!"

Although Mr. Zhang is a national treasure-level opera artist, he has no frame at all, and he is polite when he speaks angrily.

"No, I'm new here."

If Gu Bei's mouth didn't tremble when he spoke, the Zhang family's father and son might have believed it.

"Teacher Zhang, Director Yang has an important meeting this morning and afternoon, arrange for me to pick up the three of you, and wait for tomorrow, Director Yang will meet you again."

"Well said, well said."

Teacher Zhang smiled, and didn't seem to be worried about the character's affairs at all.

The weather was too cold, Gu Bei helped with the luggage, and then got on the bus together, and the station had already issued a certificate, and the three of them were arranged to live in the third guest house, which is a cooperative unit of CCTV.

The actors who came to audition before all live here.

has been helping to settle down, Gu Bei just left, he should have made up for it today, but it was delayed for most of the day because of picking up people.

Seeing that it was still early, Gu Bei went to the courtyard of Baihua Hutong, and since he bought it, Gu Bei has only been here a few times, and he has cleaned it inside and out.

The house has not been lived in for a long time, it really can't work, and Gu Bei can't move over now.

Originally, I wanted to recruit a tenant to help look at the house, but I was afraid that I would end up with a dove occupying the magpie's nest, but now this kind of thing is not uncommon, so be careful.

I can only figure it out later.

As soon as he arrived at the unit the next day, Gu Bei was arrested by Yang Jie, and they went to the guest house to see the Zhang family's father and son, uncle and nephew.

As soon as he registered at the door and was about to go upstairs, Gu Bei turned his head and saw that Teacher Zhang was carrying four thermos upstairs.

"Teacher Zhang!"

The old man turned his head and saw Yang Jie and Gu Bei, and nodded with a smile: "Director Yang, Comrade Xiao Gu, come so early!" ”

Yang Jie was puzzled: "Teacher Zhang! Didn't the waiter here fetch water for you? ”

The old man smiled and shook his head: "Hit, I'm bathing Jinlai, a habit I have developed since I was a child, and I have to take a bath when I wake up." ”

Belch......

Hearing this, Gu Bei was also speechless.

Yang Jie's heart was even more "groaning" all of a sudden, Zhang Jinlai is in his twenties, and he still needs his sixty-year-old father to take a bath?

"Teacher Zhang, do you give Jinlai bath water? How many runs do you have to run like this? ”

The old man was still smiling, as if he didn't see that Yang Jie's face was wrong.

"No more, no less, two trips are enough."

"Two trips, then he ......"

The old man reacted at this time, and hurriedly explained: "Jinlai has been weak since he was a child, he is more favored at home, and he basically can't take care of himself. ”

It's worth it!

It's clearly a big young master!

No matter who she is, as long as she arrives at the preparatory team of "Journey to the West", the first thing Yang Jie will do is to vaccinate the other party and prepare to endure hardships.

If Zhang Jinlai can't even take care of his own life, in the next few years, will the crew have to hire someone to take care of him?

Gu Bei was also stunned when he heard it, he didn't expect that Brother Monkey would be so delicate.

Just thinking about how to talk to Teacher Zhang, Yang Jie had already blurted out: "If he can't endure hardship, he can still ......"

Teacher Zhang seemed to understand what Director Yang Jie meant, and hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, his brother is here, and he will take care of him!" ”

After hearing this, Yang Jie and Gu Bei only figured out after a while that the brother that Teacher Zhang was talking about was Zhang Jinyuan, a little seven-year-old child!

He is also burdened with the responsibility of taking care of his cousin's life.

After Mr. Zhang finished speaking, he went upstairs with a thermos, but Yang Jie stayed where she was, looked at Gu Bei and asked, "Is it so delicate, can you still play Sun Wukong?" ”

This is not so much asking Gu Bei as asking herself.

"Director Yang, let's take him back to the stage first, let the leaders take a look, and then decide after reading it!"

Gu Bei could see that Director Yang Jie's heart had been shaken.

is too squeamish to raise a monkey, and the crew can't afford to raise it.

"Okay, I won't go up, you go and talk to Teacher Zhang, and we'll leave later."

Gu Bei agreed, turned around and went upstairs.

When Zhang Jinlai finished taking a bath, Yang Jie had been waiting downstairs for half an hour.

On the way back to CCTV, Yang Jie didn't speak, probably the old lady was also weighing in her heart at this time, so she didn't bother.

When she arrived at the stage, Yang Jie invited Hong Minsheng and Ruan Ruolin, two deputy directors, to review the monkey movements performed by Zhang Jinlai and a small fragment of a stage play in the conference room.

Compared with the last time he was in Shaoxing, Zhang Jinlai has obviously made a lot of progress during this time, and he must have spent a lot of effort on Mr. Zhang.

After Hong Minsheng and Ruan Ruolin watched it, they also expressed their satisfaction, but Hong Minsheng said that he didn't like Zhu Bajie in the play, and the reason given was that he was too thin.

Fortunately, the crew has already picked Ma Dehua, and he will come to the capital in a few days.

The monkey was settled, and then, Yang Jie personally told Teacher Zhang about the good news, and Gu Bei also followed aside, and it could be seen that Teacher Zhang was both happy and a little disappointed.

Probably because it was originally planned to let Zhang Jinyuan join the group together, so that when Zhang Jinlai was in the crew, the idea of having someone to take care of him could not be realized.

Seeing Teacher Zhang's reaction, Yang Jie's expression also became solemn: "Teacher Zhang, if Jin Lai wants to play the Monkey King well, not only must he have excellent professional skills, but he must also be prepared to endure hardships." ”

If this problem can't be solved, Yang Jie would rather endure the pain of substitution than have a big young master in the crew and ruin the atmosphere of the whole team.

"The most basic thing is that he must be able to take care of himself, and it is impossible for the crew to have someone to take care of him."

Although Mr. Zhang feels sorry for his son, he also understands that Director Yang Jie is right, Zhang Jinlai joined the group to film, not to enjoy happiness, if he can't take care of himself, he won't be able to stay in the crew at that time.

"Director Yang, don't worry, about this, Jinlai guarantees that it can be overcome."

Yang Jie nodded, the words have already been said, whether it can be done depends on the actual performance, if she goes out to collect the scenery this time, and when she comes back, Zhang Jinlai is still a young master who needs to be taken care of by her old father, then there is nothing to say.

"In addition, you have to study harder, what you know now is still far from Sun Wukong, you must learn new things, then I want to go out to pick up the scene, you still have a period of time to prepare, first of all, you must learn as much as possible from your father's things, and then integrate other things after entering the group, such as martial arts, performances, etc., I will arrange someone to teach you."

After returning to work, the work of the preparatory team for "Journey to the West" has also entered a new stage, and most of the time before was spent discussing research, finding problems, and then solving problems.

A lot of things just fell on paper.

In the next period of time, it is time to work hard, Yang Jie will lead the team to go out to pick up the scene, and the actors who have been scheduled will also come to the capital one after another.

The crew contacted Renyi through the station and invited a few old artists to come over and teach the actors, because most of the actors were originally engaged in opera work, and they needed to be re-taught how to bring performance to life.

In addition to the acting teacher, Yang Jie also personally went to Shichahai Martial Arts School to invite two martial arts coaches to teach the actors some basic movements of martial arts.

In short, all the actors have to start from scratch, and all the achievements they have made on the opera stage before are not counted, and they are reopened with gongs and drums.

After telling Zhang Jinlai, Yang Jie didn't forget to entrust a few words to Teacher Zhang: "Teacher Zhang, I also have requirements for you, you have to teach Jinlai as much as possible all your skills, don't feel sorry for him, let him do more in life, and he can be easier when he really enters the group in the future." ”

Teacher Zhang naturally patted his chest and promised again and again: "Director Yang, we promise to do what you say, and when you come back, it will definitely be different from now." ”

I hope so!

sent the Zhang family father and son out of CCTV, and it wasn't until they got on the bus that Yang Jie took Gu Bei back.

"Xiao Gu, what do you think...... Will it work? ”

Whether it will work or not, Gu Bei can't say for sure, but he knows that in his previous life, it was Zhang Jinlai who successfully created the role of the Monkey King Sun Wukong, and no matter how difficult it is, he should overcome it all.

"I think it's no problem, it's not that difficult, besides, such a good opportunity, the Zhang family and the two must be reluctant to give up, no matter how many difficulties there are, they have to be overcome."

Yang Jie was puzzled: "What do you say?" ”

Gu Bei said with a smile: "Do you think, the Southern Monkey King is now going north, if you can win the role of Sun Wukong in the TV series "Journey to the West" in the territory of the Northern Monkey King, people will mention the monkey opera family in the future......"

I see.

Needless to say, Yang Jie also understood what Gu Bei meant.

"Why do you always think about people in a crooked way, just tell me about it, don't mention it to others, remember?"

Looking at Director Yang Jie's expression that seemed to be smiling, he obviously agreed with Gu Bei's statement.

"Got it, accept your criticism with an open mind."

"Slippery, let's go, there's a lot more to do!"
