"This film is really good, I went to the three major film festivals, and I have a good chance of winning the award!" Wang Xiaoshuai's eyes were full of sincerity.

However, in the face of Wang Xiaoshuai's invitation, Wu Yuan did not fluctuate in his heart, and even sighed a little disappointed, turned around and was about to go to the classroom.

"Hey, junior brother, don't go!"

Seeing that Wu Yuan was not interested at all, Wang Xiaoshuai was anxious, he personally went out to recruit actors, and he really hadn't seen anyone who would refuse!

grabbed Wu Yuan's hand, and in the curious, jealous, and puzzled eyes of the 98-level director students in the classroom, Wang Xiaoshuai forcibly pulled Wu Yuan and walked out of the corridor.

As he walked, he kept chattering: "Senior brother, I know that since you chose the directing department, you must not be so interested in actors." ”

"But do you think, you're a student at school, you always have to accumulate crew experience, can't you just save a crew and work alone, right?"

"You come to my crew to play the leading role, and I, as your senior brother, must be teaching you, you have mastered these practical knowledge in advance, and you can also help your movies in the future!"

Wu Yuan pursed his lips, does the crew experience still need to be taught by Wang Xiaoshuai, a senior brother?

The experience of 20 years in his dream, from a camera assistant to the chief director, is probably much richer than the current Wang Xiaoshuai!

But think about it, what Senior Brother said is not wrong.

Most of the experience in his dreams is actually in the era of digital films, after all, he was just a camera assistant in the first three or five years after graduation, and the ugly thing to say is actually that the crew did chores, and he didn't have anything to do when he usually started filming.

By the time he really became a crew cameraman, the film and television industry as a whole had entered the era of digital cameras.

Wu Yuan was indeed a little rusty and uncomfortable with how to use film cameras proficiently, and he spent most of his time in school familiarizing himself with and practicing the use of film cameras.

It's a pity that the school's practice is practice after all, and it is impossible to really use the film bought with real money to click and create, and he does lack some experience in film crews.

Thinking of Senior Brother Jia Zhangke's earnest persuasion yesterday, Wu Yuan's thoughts were a little loose.

There has never been any crew looking for him to film before, so Wu Yuan didn't take the initiative to contact the crew to be an actor, but now someone has taken the initiative to come to the door, and it is Wang Xiaoshuai who comes to the door, it is "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle"!

It's just that Wu Yuan has never acted in reality or in a dream!

He whispered a little tangled: "Senior brother, I don't know how to act!" ”

"It's okay!" When Wang Xiaoshuai saw that there was a play, his face immediately smiled, and he reached out and patted Wu Yuan's shoulder hard: "In our play, you only need to act in your true colors, just play a seventeen or eighteen-year-old guy in Beijing, you don't need much advanced acting skills, just play naturally." ”

Saying that, Wang Xiaoshuai smashed his mouth and looked Wu Yuan up and down again: "Seriously, your appearance conditions are too good, your height is more than one meter eight, right?" ”

"If you look at it seriously, you look handsome!"

"I think you are a little more handsome than Su Youpeng who played "Huanzhu Gege" and Ting Feng on Hong Kong Island!"

"Who is the 96th level of the acting department, Chen Kun is right, he doesn't look as handsome as you!"

"You kid didn't go to the acting department and came to study directing? Isn't that a waste of your face! ”

"But it's not good to be too handsome, those judges at major film festivals don't like actors who are too handsome and too beautiful, and their image can't show off their acting skills."

Wu Yuan smiled, Wang Xiaoshuai was not the first person to say this, in fact, everyone he met was so surprised when they knew that they were students of the directing department and not the acting department.

Who is called Wu Yuan likes directing, and likes the thrill of controlling the set and letting the art of light and shadow dance in the palm of his hand according to his own ideas.

Whether it is the 20 years in his dream or now, Wu Yuan has never regretted choosing this path, but now he is more determined to be a director.

"Forget it, handsome is handsome, who told me to fall in love with you at a glance." Wang Xiaoshuai shook his head and sighed: "Fortunately, there are two male protagonists in the script, Xiaogui who came to BJ from the countryside to work is not suitable for you, but Xiaojian, a boy from the capital, you can still be competent." ”

"Senior brother, let's talk about it first, if I go to your crew, then I will follow your ass every day to learn how to be a qualified director." Wu Yuan said with a serious expression.

He really didn't want to take acting as his main business, let alone a literary film like "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" can't be an actor.

What really made him agree was the generous teaching of Wang Xiaoshuai, the leader of the sixth generation of directors.

"Eh, don't worry!" Wang Xiaoshuai patted Wu Yuan's shoulder vigorously again: "There is something to avoid between senior brothers, as long as you want to learn, I will definitely teach you." ”

"It's hard to make a movie, it's hard to say, it's easy to say it's simple, the main thing is to look at your talent, your talent is definitely enough!"

"Come to my crew for a workout, I'm sure you can learn thoroughly!"

"Okay, I'll shoot!" Wu Yuan nodded his head fiercely: "As long as you don't dislike me, senior brother, I haven't acted!" ”

"What's the matter, I have never paid attention to the actor's background in filming, even if I have never filmed, I can use it, and it is not that I can't be trained." Wang Xiaoshuai said without mind.

The two didn't talk about the salary and other things in detail, and there was really not much money to give for acting in literary films these years.

After confirming his intention to act, he didn't even need to sign the contract, Wu Yuan just took out the Nokia 3310 he bought for more than 1,000 yuan, and exchanged contact information with Wang Xiaoshuai, even if he set this job.

Next, he just needs to wait for Wang Xiaoshuai's notification to turn on.

"This drama should not start in a short period of time, you are the first actor to decide." After writing down Wu Yuan's mobile phone number, Wang Xiaoshuai finally advised:

"The preparation of the crew, mainly the selection of actors, may take a month or two."

"If it's fast, it should be able to start filming in June and July, and I'll call you when the time comes, don't burden me!"

"No, I don't have anything else to do." Wu Yuan shook his head and said.

"Okay, then it's decided, I still have to leave beforehand, you go to class." Wang Xiaolong left the school satisfied.

Bidding farewell to his senior brother, Wu Yuan also turned his head and returned to the classroom.

It's just that as soon as he entered the classroom door, he was greeted by a pair of curious, incomprehensible, and jealous eyes.

In the past, although Wu Yuan was the first in the class and was praised by the teacher, but because of his usual hippie smile and making troubles with pirated discs, it didn't seem so perfect, and he would invite everyone to eat and drink when he made money, and he didn't float in the sky, so everyone didn't feel jealous of Wu Yuan, but felt that this person was very real and easy to get along with.

But Wang Xiaoshuai is a big celebrity in the film academy, for the students, this is already a super director, such a director came to find Wu Yuan in person, and it seems that he was invited to join the crew, then things are different, and some students inevitably have different emotions in their hearts.

Facing the different eyes of his classmates, Wu Yuan shrugged his shoulders: "No way, buddy is too handsome, more handsome than the acting department next door, I was taken by Senior Brother Wang and wanted me to play his play." ”

The boos immediately erupted.

The jealous and incomprehensible gazes were all dissolved, and only a pair of smiling eyes remained.

Those who can be admitted to the directing department of the film academy are not arrogant, but it is true that most of them don't take actors seriously, and they feel that actors are just tools in the hands of directors.

If Wang Xiaoshuai finds Wu Yuan as an assistant director, the classmates may be extremely jealous and puzzled, and scold in their hearts!

But looking for him to be an actor, there is nothing worth paying attention to.

It's not the same track!

Wu Yuan also laughed happily with everyone, calmly walked to the back row and sat down, waiting for the teacher to come to class.

He deliberately didn't say that his senior brother wanted to teach him what the crew practiced, and this was what he wanted.

Friendship and relationships between classmates still need to be well maintained, especially in a relatively closed and network-oriented circle like a film school.

There are things that can be done, but not to show off, after all, he is already enough to be in the limelight.

He didn't want to be the object of jealousy and resentment from his classmates.

Although there is a high probability that these classmates will not be able to help him in the future, who can say what will happen in the future?

Besides, there is no need to stimulate the hearts of this group of young and fragile people, after all, they are all classmates.

A big dream brought him not only 20 years of directing experience, but also a lot of experience in dealing with the world.

After experiencing too much warmth and coldness in his dreams, Wu Yuan, who has lost it, will not make some mistakes again.
