Chapter 690 692, Self-Recommendation
year 2002
There were 7,445 high school students who took the art exam for the undergraduate class of the Acting Department of the Central Academy of Drama, but in the end, only 25 students were actually admitted to China Drama.
Judging from these two data alone, the brutality is staggering. If you want to succeed, you really have to climb up on hundreds of "corpses".
But when these passing art candidates got several other data from the entertainment section of Tianya Forum, they fell silent collectively.
Taking Beijing as an example, there are about 300,000 people engaged in the entertainment industry, from first-line stars to walk-ons.
The total number of TV dramas and movies filmed in Beijing every year is about 6,000. Well, excluding supporting roles, there are only 6,000 roles with lines, from protagonists to minor supporting roles.
More than 300,000 people compete for 6,000 roles, and the well-known and relevant ones have to take more than half, leaving even fewer roles.
Therefore, it is really difficult for newcomers to get ahead in this industry. Graduation equals unemployment. It is not an exaggeration at all.
Therefore, whether it is Chinese opera, film school or Shanghai Theater Academy, when acting students graduate, teachers will tell them not to take acting as their main job, but to find a main job that can support themselves first. In this way, you will not be able to do anything. I can still have a bite to eat during the performance, so I won’t starve to death!
And this is also the reason why Zhu Yawen, Luo Ron, Tang Yan, Wen Zhang, Bai Xue, Liu Yifei and others are trying their best to squeeze into the 02-level acting undergraduate class of the Chinese Opera Department, because the class teacher of this class is called Sun Hao, who holds people in his hands. The resources are overwhelming.
But when these students were at the filming site and saw how Sun Hao directed the film, they suddenly felt like they were seeing another world.
Different, completely different!
Some time ago, when I was studying acting in an off-campus tutoring institution, the acting teacher would repeatedly emphasize what kind of acting skills you should learn, what kind of performance rhythm you should master, how to express affection, how to act fragile, and how to deal with the pain after a breakup. Come to perform?
But in Sun Hao's case, those so-called skills and so-called stylized performances are all illusory. This famous Hollywood film director allows you to experience it from the heart.
Don’t you know how to please others?
I will make you feel uncomfortable until you die. Only when you feel like you are going to die will you do everything you can to free yourself.
Even if it’s a flattering smile that makes you smile from the bottom of your heart.
With this understanding, from 10 am to 7 pm, no one felt hungry even if they didn't eat at noon.
Even Liu Yifei, who is the youngest, and Han Ling and Zhu Eun, who have the most profound backgrounds, just stuffed a few pieces of chocolate into their mouths and then began to take notes seriously.
…….……
7:30 pm
The courtyard in front of Tongfu Inn was brightly lit, and 40 round dining tables were neatly arranged on the hardened ground.
The dishes are jointly delivered by several restaurants across the street, so the dishes on each table are different.
Some tables have more barbecue, some have more stir-fries, some have lamb and scorpion hot pot, um... and a few tables even serve a roasted whole lamb of about 30 pounds.
Normally, the staff eats on the set without many rules. They can order whatever they like, and it’s not like the director can’t afford the money.
And it's the same now, everyone chooses their own seats according to the dishes on the table. Those who like to eat barbecue get together to make skewers, those who like to eat stir-fry and drink beer get together to brag, and those who like to eat roasted whole lamb...
"Hehe... Sister Han Hedong and Sister Zhu Eun, let's eat this, shall we?"
Seeing the roasted whole lamb dripping with oil, Liu Yifei's eyes turned into crescent moons when she smiled, and she temporarily forgot about her unhappiness at not seeing the big-headed brother.
"Okay, no problem!"
Zhu Eun and Han Hao have been used to being confined by their families since they were young. It is said that girls should eat more vegetarian food and stay in shape; that girls should eat more seafood and have white skin; that girls should pay attention to their image outside and not show their teeth when smiling.
Now that they finally had a chance to relax, the two beauties were naturally overjoyed. They sat down at a table with roasted whole lamb and began to feast.
"Uh..., is it really okay?"
Tong Liya felt happy.
Unexpectedly, I can still see hometown dishes in Beijing.
"Of course, please take a seat!"
Zhu Eun opened the seat for her and tore two mutton chops for her.
"Thanks!"
Tong Liya is very polite.
"You're welcome, it's all a matter of coincidence." Zhu Yu waved his hand.
"Oh, by the way, Yaya, where are Lao Zhu and Lao Luo? I just saw them coming together. Why, they disappeared in the blink of an eye?" Han Hao, who was dealing with Yang Bao, raised his head and asked casually.
"Oh, them, they are inside now." After finishing the mutton on a lamb rib, he pointed to the Tongfu Inn in front of him.
"Inside..., what are you doing in there?" Zhu Eun, Han Hao, and Liu Yifei were curious.
"Of course I recommended myself.
On the way over, Wen Zhang took the initiative to find Teacher Sun and said that he could also play the roles played by Wang Baoqiang and Zhang Yi, and asked Teacher Sun to give him a chance to audition.
So Teacher Sun gave it to me.
The same goes for Zhu Yawen and Luo Qu. "
…………
Tongfu Inn
In the lobby on the first floor, the long dining table at the staircase has been moved away, leaving a large open space.
Sun Hao stood in the middle of the open space, next to Zeng Li, who was wearing a jumpsuit. At this moment, this guy still wore a safety helmet.
There were four people standing opposite, Wen Zhang, Luo Gan, Zhu Yawen and Yang Shuo.
"Are you ready?" Sun Hao asked.
"Ready."
"Time is tight, the task is heavy, and the people outside are waiting for us to go out for dinner, so let's be brief..."
At this point, Sun Hao took off the yellow safety helmet from Zeng Li's head.
"Suppose this safety helmet is the magic gourd that took Sun Wukong in, and now I hold this magic gourd in my hand, you will be shocked and ecstatic when you look at this thing...
Well, who will go first?"
"Me!"
Wen Zhang raised his hand first.
"Yes!"
Sun Hao nodded in agreement.
His eyes were straight, staring at the safety helmet in Sun Hao's hand, then he reached out and patted his face, trying to calm himself.
However, this trick obviously didn't work. As he stared at her, a smile appeared on Wen Zhang's face, and then his hands began to shake back and forth involuntarily...
…….……
"Dangdangdang..."
The knock on the door was a little urgent.
"Come in." The person who spoke was Zeng Li.
"Oh, hello, Teacher Sun, hello, Aunt Zeng Li, it's Teacher Jiang Wen who wants to have a drink with Teacher Sun, and asked me to come over to ask when Teacher Sun can go out?" Zeng Li's voice had just fallen, and Liu Yifei's pretty little head poked in.
"Now, right now!"
Handing the helmet in his hand to Zeng Li, Sun Hao was about to go out.
"Teacher Sun, you still haven't said whether a few of us can have a cameo in Journey to the West?" Luo Qian, who finished the performance last, mustered up his courage.
"Well, tomorrow.
I suggest that the four of you go to the hotel where you are staying early tomorrow to study English. If anyone sees a silver Chrysler Grand Voyager commercial vehicle, they can follow the car to film." Sun Hao said so.
