Zhang Guoping, the head of the department, immediately discussed his thoughts with several teachers from the Beijing Film Academy Performance Department in the WeChat group.
Unexpectedly, his idea was unanimously opposed by other teachers. Other teachers have very unified views: first, they are Chen Minhao’s teachers, not Chen Minhao’s nannies. Second, if Chen Minhao even needs to do some tricks to pass the audition, then he still gets the woolen prize.
Finally, under the strong suggestion of Zhang Guoping, the head of the department, holding the school's honor banner, several teachers finally reached an agreement: after Chen Minhao wins the audition, they will give him some professional guidance based on the script and role.
Chen Minhao still knows nothing about Zhang Guoping's current series of operations. But this was not the only thing that Chen Minhao didn't know about.
Somehow, there was a rumor in the school: Chen Minhao got the opportunity to audition for the second male lead in director Zhang Shan's "The River Flows Quietly" by taking He Yong's "Film Analysis" course in the directing department.
From 2 pm to 4 pm, more than a dozen students asked in a roundabout way on WeChat whether this rumor was true.
Chen Minhao felt that there was no necessary connection between him taking the "Film Analysis" course and getting the audition opportunity in the past two weeks. He felt that the audition opportunity was mainly an assignment written by himself. He analyzed Zhang Shan's performance from the perspective of actors and acting skills. Movie.
Chen Minhao responded ambiguously: "I did get the opportunity to audition."
When Chen Minhao went to the library after class in the evening, he felt like half of the people in the library were looking at him with envy and jealousy.
The thoughts of these students are very simple: Chen Minhao was nominated for the Golden Melody Award, and won the Golden Melody Award for Best Newcomer of the Year and Best Golden Melody of the Year. Such honors are something they will never be able to achieve in their lifetime, so there is no envy and jealousy, only admiration and admiration, and As an alumnus, I am honored to be honored.
But the audition opportunity for "The River Flows Quietly" was different. The students felt like there was a treasure in the school, but Chen Minhao, a latecomer and freshman, got there first.
When Chen Minhao went to take "Film Analysis" the next day, he thought he was in the wrong classroom at first. The classroom that used to be full of seats in the back rows was now full, and even the aisles of the lecture theaters had people sitting on the floor.
The students who come to take classes have a very simple way of thinking: "There is always someone who wants to win, why can't I win? Maybe I will be the next Chen Minhao."
Another group of students are more clever. They don't take He Yong's class. They follow Chen Minhao. They take classes of teachers who take classes taught by Chen Minhao.
In their view, He Yong is already an exhausted gold mine, while Chen Minhao is the source of a better life in the future.
Chen Minhao can now say with confidence: I have stimulated the enthusiasm of students in the acting department to learn, so that in addition to the content of their own professional courses, they often take courses related to directing and photography.
Although this "passion for learning" must be enclosed in double quotes.
Wherever there is sunshine, there are shadows. The students in the directing department were miserable. Every time they arrived a little late, there were no seats in the classroom, so they had to go to the adjacent classroom to bring chairs. The directing students who couldn't bear it jointly signed a letter to the academic affairs office of the school, demanding that the directing students' rights to attend classes normally should be guaranteed.
Where there is pain, there is happiness. Luo Jing worked hard in society for a period of time, and he also worked hard on the art of interpersonal communication for Chen Minhao.
When a classmate from the acting department went to take a course with a teacher from the directing department, and a young teacher from the acting department felt a little unbalanced, Luo Jing sent him spring-like warmth, and finally won an audition opportunity for a costume drama from him.
Luo Jing sighed inwardly: Chen Minhao is really my lucky star! In the past, after class, there were so many students surrounding Teacher Zhang that I couldn’t get a word in. Now the licking dog in the class went to lick the directing teacher, and I had the opportunity to have an in-depth discussion with Teacher Zhang.
Faced with the requirements of the teaching office and the crowd of students in the audience, He Yong finally had no choice but to clarify in person: "Zhang Shan is a good friend of mine. After watching Chen Minhao's performance, he wanted to invite him to audition, and then I and He said that Chen Minhao happened to be in my class, so Zhang Shan asked me to invite him."
The implication of He Yong's words is that Chen Minhao's audition opportunity has basically nothing to do with taking his course.
After Chen Minhao heard these remarks, he was confused! If you blame my agent, don't blame me!
The movie I will star in will not be released until October next year, and there are only two TV series I will star in: one with the character of Luo Bingshan, the fourth male lead, and the other a youth love campus TV series. As a director who only makes literary films, will Zhang Shan watch this kind of subject matter
Moreover, in the almost one year since he was preparing for the art exam, Chen Minhao has made a movie and a MV directed by Xu An. Coupled with systematic study and performance, he himself is a little disdainful of his original acting skills. , how could a director who specializes in making literary films come to him because of his acting skills at that time!
Chen Minhao never expected that most of the students believed him. As soon as He Yong finished speaking, a few students were so disrespectful that they just picked up their bags and left. He Yong's face turned dark at that time.
In the end, apart from Chen Minhao, there were only three students left. One of them became interested in the director's course after taking two classes.
The other two people felt that since Chen Minhao came to take the class, the class must be meaningful. After all, in any industry, when you don't know what to do, it is better to imitate and learn from the strong than to run around like a headless fly.
For the next two movies that Chen Minhao auditions for, he actually prefers the commercial film "Detective" in his heart. Compared with professional recognition of his acting skills, Chen Minhao feels that he now needs the ability to withstand the box office more.
Only when he can support the box office will he have the opportunity to be exposed to more scripts and then star in some award-winning art films. At that time, the basic base was established. Even if the art films he made were not blockbusters, there would still be commercial and literary films coming to him to make.
But if you make a literary film and it fails to do well at the box office several times in a row, then Chen Minhao's journey to the big screen is likely to be lost to the center of the earth.
What investors care about is never how good an actor's acting skills are, but how much profit the actor can bring him. Before Chen Minhao could sit in the investor's seat, he chose to dance with shackles.
Chen Minhao thought to himself: Young master, I want to dance to the C position even if I dance with shackles. I want to make myself a favorite among investors and directors. No, I want to become an actor who is loved by investors and directors.
Chen Minhao originally wanted to focus the audition on "Detective", but now, even though the focus is on "Detective", he must also ensure that the audition for "The River Flows Quietly" can be passed. Otherwise, on campus, The rumors immediately turned out to be: Chen Minhao's acting skills were very poor. The director even picked him, but he couldn't even pass the audition.
No matter how much praise a person has experienced, he will be vilified when he falls. It is a practice to get up after a fall, keep running fast, and slap the person who is making fun of you in the face. But Chen Minhao chose the method of working hard not to fall - passing the audition and then rejecting it. Instead of auditioning and being eliminated.
