Closing the door of Xie Xiaojing's office and standing in the corridor, Wu Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

As he walked towards the dormitory, he pondered what the teacher had just said.

Xie Xiaojing made a request to him.

Before the next summer vacation, he must select a group of new students in the 02 level to rehearse a classic drama.

What kind of drama to rehearse, Xie Xiaojing doesn't make any requirements, as long as it can be discharged in the end.

This is also Wu Yuan's project assignment this year.

For this homework, Wu Yuan has nothing to complain about.

At least the teacher didn't let him choose actors from the 02 vocational high school students!

And he really wants to exercise more and exercise his ability to train actors.

In the foreseeable future, if Wu Yuan wants to make a popular and popular movie, I am afraid that he really has to train a group of actors by himself.

Otherwise, do you expect the batch of traffic kings and small fresh meat after 2012?

It's not that they can't do it at all, but they don't have to...

Full of motivation, after Wu Yuan returned to the dormitory, he began to study which drama to arrange next.

As a director, Wu Yuan is naturally very familiar with various Chinese and foreign dramas.

Xie Xiaojing did not make specific drama requirements for him, and Wu Yuan could choose at will.

Western "Prometheus", "Agamemnon", "Antigone", "Oedipus the King", ......

Huaxia's "Thunderstorm", "Sunrise", "Teahouse", "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring", ......

There are so many plays for him to choose from.

But after the above classic dramas went through Wu Yuan's mind, they were quickly passed by him.

Thinking that he was going to make a commercial romance film in China next, Wu Yuan felt that he could just take this opportunity to arrange a romance-themed drama to practice first.

When it comes to the theme of love, in the field of drama, there is a drama (song) at home and abroad, which will inevitably be mentioned!

That is "Liang Zhu", which represents the classic of Chinese love, and "Romeo and Juliet", which represents the classic of Western love!

Coincidentally, the final endings of these two classic love stories are so similar, and both the male and female protagonists died of martyrdom.

Sure enough, only the tragedy of love, which is full of regrets, will be remembered and sung by human beings unforgettablely.

After some hesitation, Wu Yuan still chose "Romeo and Juliet" as the next drama to be rehearsed.

There is no way, although the story of "Liang Zhu" is a swan song for the ages, most of the domestic adaptations of "Liang Zhu" are mainly based on various operas.

Although there is also a stage play of "Liang Zhu", the presentation of the stage play is definitely not as shocking as that of opera.

But Wu Yuan doesn't know how to direct opera, he really doesn't know anything about opera.

"Romeo and Juliet" is different, this is a classic drama (drama).

Because of the classics, there are too many versions for Wu Yuan's reference, and it is also suitable for him, a rookie drama director, to learn!

"That's it!" In the dormitory, Wu Yuan flipped out the script of "Romeo and Juliet" from the computer.

From now on, he needs to deeply understand the script, find the internal logic and themes in it, and read it thoroughly.

Only then will he be able to guide the actors in their performances in a targeted manner and present the correct performance!

Of course, the recruitment and rehearsal of the actors should also start as soon as possible!

......

Following.

Film School Acting Department Building, Classroom Office.

Wu Yuan came early in the morning to visit Mr. Wang Jinsong from the performance department.

This Wang Jinsong is not the one who played Uncle Yaodong in "Icebreaker", but Huang Lei and Jiang Wu's classmates, and an outstanding graduate of Nortel's 90th grade.

He started working in the Huaxia Youth Art Theater, and later transferred to the acting department of the film academy in 99 to teach, and was promoted to the vice president of the acting academy in 02.

At the same time, he is also the class teacher of the 2002 class of acting undergraduates.

Wu Yuan wants to borrow the students of the 02 level of the acting department to rehearse the drama, so he must have negotiated with him first.

Fortunately, Xie Xiaojing, the mentor, had already helped Wu Yuan get through the relationship and links.

As soon as he saw Wu Yuan coming to the door, Mr. Wang Jinsong immediately got up with a smile and welcomed: "Director Wu, I can be regarded as looking forward to you." ”

"You Professor Xie told me last year that you were going to rehearse a drama."

"This makes me very happy, you are an international director who wants to rehearse a drama, for the students in the class, it is a rare good opportunity!"

"As a result, I waited left and right, and I didn't wait for your news for more than half a year, I thought that your master and apprentice had changed their hexagrams."

Wu Yuan shook hands with him with a smile and took the initiative to explain: "There are some jobs in the United States that have not been completed yet, and some time has been delayed. ”

"Understand, understand, understand." Teacher Wang held Wu Yuan's hand and waved it up and down, and asked actively: "Is Director Wu going to choose the right actor now?" ”

"Is the drama to be rehearsed decided?"

"It's set, arrange Romeo and Juliet."

"This play is good, a classic play by Shakespeare!" Teacher Wang agreed and took out a book of student materials from the drawer.

"Director Wu, then I'll give you a brief introduction to the students of our 02-level undergraduate class."

Teacher Wang flipped through the roster, and the first page was Liu Yifei's information, and a 2-inch photo of her was posted on it.

"This is the best student in our class at the moment, although he is the youngest in the class, he has already acted in two TV series......

"The Family of Gold Powder" was broadcast on CCTV last week.

starred in Bai Xiuzhu in the play, and Liu Yifei, who had just finished "Dragon Babu" at the beginning of the year, although he was the youngest student in the class, he was undoubtedly the most famous one in the class.

She was the first person to be introduced by Ms. Wang, and she was also the most capable student in the class of 2002.

After spending a lot of saliva to focus on Liu Yifei, Mr. Wang briefly introduced the other students, each of whom was a good seedling in his mouth and a piece of beautiful jade.

Wu Yuan did see a lot of familiar actors from it.

For example, Luo Jin, who hugged the sugar candy, Zhu Yawen, the last tough guy in the mainland who was full of hormones, Jiang Yan, who has not yet added "one" to his name, Zhou Yang, the third virgin of "The Legend of the Baolian Lantern"...

Seriously, level 02 is still okay, at least there are several actors who came out later, which is much better than level 03 and level 04, which were wiped out.

After listening to Teacher Wang's introduction, Wu Yuan asked with a smile, "Are they in class now?" Can I meet these classmates? ”

"Of course no problem!"

......

Downstairs in the performance department teacher's office is the classroom of the 02 undergraduate class.

Today, the students arrived very well, and all the 30 students in the class came to class obediently.

As usual, the students who arrived at the classroom more than ten minutes early were chatting in twos and threes.

Young people in their early twenties are all studying acting, and the topic of conversation is definitely inseparable from celebrity gossip.

Some people are talking about Jay Chou on the cover of the Asian edition of Time Magazine, debating whether he can be regarded as the king of the music world.

Some people are talking about "Hero" directed by Yimou, even if this movie has been released, it is still the hottest topic in the industry.

Some people are also talking about the recent CCTV hit "The Family of Gold Powder", and the performance of senior brother Chen Kun in the play has been praised non-stop.

When Luo Jin and others talked about this, they all showed envious expressions on their faces, imagining when they would be able to shoot CCTV TV series.

Several female classmates also surrounded Liu Yifei and asked her about her feelings about filming a TV series, the atmosphere of the crew, and the tone was full of envy and longing.

"Actually, it's still quite hard, sometimes in order to catch up with some scenes, I have to get up at three or four o'clock in the morning to rush to the set, and it's common to shoot big nights."

Liu Yifei's small round face was flushed, and she excitedly shared her experience and feelings in the crew with her classmates.

"Peach Blossom Island is really beautiful, and the crew's camera teacher is also very good at filming, you must watch it when it comes to the broadcast!"

It's just that these female classmates of hers definitely don't want to hear that.

Jiang Yan, who was sitting next to Liu Yifei and holding her arm, asked with a smile: "Sissi, is the little whirlwind as handsome as on TV?" ”

"I really like him!"

"Brother Zhiying?" Liu Yifei tilted his head and thought for a while, and nodded affirmatively: "Real people are as handsome as on TV." ”

And he is a very humorous person in private, and he always likes to joke with everyone on the set, telling some jokes to liven up the atmosphere. ’

"Wow, I envy you." Zhou Yang, who was very arrogant, also said enviously: "I can film with the gentle and humorous Brother Zhiying." ”

The little Asian whirlwind is now not your average fire in the country.

He and the fifth elder brother played "The Peerless Double Pride", which can be said to have killed this generation of girls, and no one dislikes Jiang Xiaoyu and Hua Wufeng in the play.

"Hehe, Brother Zhiying is really good."

Liu Yifei laughed and recalled that Brother Zhiying took good care of her when she was on the set.

And recently, I heard from my mother that Brother Zhiying also helped introduce two movies from Treasure Island to her, both of which are resources for the female number one, and one of them is Brother Zhiying is also the leading actor!

But as soon as she thought of this, Liu Yifei remembered what Wu Yuan said to her and her mother on the set of "The Family of Gold Powder".

Her "Dragon Babu" has only been completed for less than two months, and if she goes to make another movie, and there are still two films, it is estimated that she will not have time to study for the whole year this year.

She has only been in school for three months since the beginning of her freshman year, and she has just become familiar with her classmates...

"My mentor said to me that if you want to build a building, the most important thing is to lay the foundation."

"If you don't learn acting knowledge first, you want to be famous in filming, and you can't become an excellent actor in this life."

Liu Yifei looked out of the window in distraction, Wu Yuan's previous words kept echoing in her mind.

At this moment, two figures walking together entered her line of sight.

Half a step ahead in the figure is her homeroom teacher, Teacher Wang.

And when he saw who the young man behind Teacher Wang was, Liu Yifei's red lips opened slightly, his eyes widened, and he looked surprised.

"Director Wu?!"

With her subconscious exclamation, the classmates sitting near Liu Yifei all followed her gaze and looked out the window curiously.

Then, they were all dumbfounded.

I saw the head teacher, Mr. Wang, leading Wu Yuan with a smile on his face and walking into the classroom of the 02 grade acting class.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

"Let me introduce to you, this person next to me is your senior brother, Wu Yuan, the 98-level director of our film academy, director Wu!"

Wu Yuan also showed a kind smile, and nodded at the students in the classroom with a smile.

"Hello everyone, I'm director Wu Yuan."

The classmates who were still chattering and discussing all kinds of celebrity gossip just now were all dumbfounded in an instant, leaving only dumbfounded faces.

Wu Yuan looked at this scene with some amusement and sighed in his heart.

Not to mention, it is worthy of the actor class, all of them are handsome men and beautiful women, even if the expression is dull and dumbfounded, it looks very pleasing to the eye!
