Chapter 33 Audition


    The work on "Lushan Love" and the tea stall are proceeding in an orderly manner.


    Chen Qi was running back and forth between Beijing Film Studio, Qianmen, and Menzhang Hutong. He just looked lazy, but he actually enjoyed the fulfilling feeling of working hard for his career.


    In June, summer finally arrived.


    The temperature seemed to have risen overnight, long sleeves were no longer suitable, and gray and white short-sleeved shirts were spread all over the city. Lesbians also wear similar clothes. At most, there are some floral prints on the shirt. If you add a parasol and a pair of heeled sandals, you will be the most fashionable girl.


    These days, dressing up is linked to a person''s character. Simple and plain is a good girl. If you dress too fancy, you have no role in judging three good students or outstanding employees.


    The arrow tower at the front door.


    The west side is gloomy and gloomy, while the east side is full of joy.


    Huang Zhanying bought another 50 large bowls, several water tanks, several pots, and several large tables, which could be spread out across dozens of meters. She put the sandals on the table openly, bought popsicles, a raincoat, and bought mung beans to make mung bean soup.


    The popsicles are packed in boxes, painted with white paint on the outside to look clean, and kept warm inside by thick quilts.


    Three cents are fruit popsicles, with bayberry, orange, and sour plum flavors; five cents are adzuki bean, cream, and red fruit popsicles; the most expensive is double-stick ice cream, which costs 15 cents each.


    This cream popsicle is the real deal, and each 10,000 sticks can use 200 kilograms of fresh milk.


    In the future, you will have to look at the ingredient list to see whether it is fresh milk, vegetable butter, or cocoa butter substitute...


    "I won''t come tomorrow!"


    "Are you going to the literary and artistic front again???"


    "Well, the main thing is that the matter here has been resolved. Just do as I say. I hope I can see our own store next time I come back."


    Chen Qi was chewing an adzuki bean popsicle without feeling sad, but Huang Zhanying was a little melancholy. She felt that the distance between the two was getting farther and farther, and that they could never return to their original revolutionary friendship.


    Maybe a few years later, when he calls Runtu, he can only call him "Master"...


    However, this also gave Huang Zhanying the determination to work hard, and she was already reading the book "900 English Sentences".


    "Okay, I''m leaving!"


    After Chen Qi finished talking about the adzuki bean popsicle, he rummaged through the box and took out a double-stick ice cream.


    "Hey, that one is expensive, you get the cheaper one!"


    "Give me money!"


    "Let''s go!"


    Chen Qi waved his hand, got on the car and left.


    The friends were not surprised and only said things like "Teacher Chen is here again", "Female stars corrupt people" and "Sooner or later they will fall to the bourgeoisie", which made everyone sad.


    They knew that Teacher Chen was not from the same world as themselves.


    …


    Beijing Film Studio, small conference room.


    The production team of "Romance in Lushan Mountain" has been formed. Director Wang Haowei and photographer Li Chensheng are also her husband. This couple is quite similar to Yang Jie''s husband and wife team in "Journey to the West".


    The production director, assistant director, art, lighting, etc. are all confirmed.


    Chen Qi was sitting in the corner and didn''t have a strong sense of presence. Wang Haowei wanted him to participate to show respect, but he also had to be a little measured. At this moment, Wang Haowei sat in the main seat without hesitation, holding a stack of documents.


    "Let me tell you one thing first. Director Wang approved 700,000 yuan for "Lushan Love"!"


    "700,000! Everyone knows the concept of this. This is regarded as a key film in the factory."


    There was a buzzing commotion among the people, all looking very excited.


    Chen Qi was silent, "700,000 is not enough to compensate me for the short drama..."


    "The reason why we approved so much money is that we have to go to Lushan for on-site shooting. Secondly, the heroine is an American overseas Chinese. We want to highlight her sense of foreignness and buy her some beautiful clothes."


    "Where should I buy clothes? Shanghai? Guangzhou?"


    "It''s not fashionable over there. I want to buy it from Hong Kong. Please ask Comrades Fu Qi and Shi Hui."


    "..." Chen Qi blinked and asked in a low voice, "Who are these two?"


    "Comrade from Hong Kong Great Wall Film Company!"


    The person next to me paused and added: "They are all first-class people!"


    His expression was one of admiration, and when he looked at the others, he unconsciously showed a sense of admiration when he mentioned these two people.


    "When our heroine is decided, we will contact them... Okay, now everyone has been handed a document, which shows some of the candidate actors we have recently found, including those from the Repertory Theater Company, and some from Nortel. There are some in the drama..."


    Chen Qi took a look at the information and found that they were all acquaintances.


    Chinese Opera, Class of 1976: Xu Yajun;


    Nortel, Class of 1978: Zhou Lijing, Wang Yue, Zhang Tielin, Fang Shu, Shen Danping, Liu Dong.


    China Children''s Art Theatre, Chen Baoguo.


    Shanghai International Studies University, Chen Chong.


    Bayi Factory, Tang Guoqiang.


    “…”


    When he saw the list, he crossed out Chen Chong first.


    Then Chen Baoguo was crossed out. Chen Baoguo had hard facial lines and a cold temperament, so he was not suitable.


    After some further deliberation, Wang Yue was chosen. Wang Yue was the Tang Monk in the first version of "Journey to the West". He had dark skin, thick eyebrows, big eyes and a loyal face, so he was not suitable.


    This is his own idea. Others don''t know it. Everyone also looked at it, and someone asked: "Director, are there fewer choices for the heroine? Are they all male actors?"


    "We tried our best to find people, but not many reached the basic level. I mobilized my friends to help me find candidates, and we will look at it after a while."


    Wang Haowei knocked on the table and said: "Starting tomorrow, they will come to the factory one after another to audition. We are not afraid of trouble, only afraid of making the wrong choice. If you think more than one person is suitable, that''s no problem. We will train several groups of candidates at the same time. Let''s see. Which group is the best."


    "Let''s break up the meeting first and see you tomorrow!"


    …


    Nortel and Beijing Film Studio are next to each other, very close to each other.


    Enrollment was resumed in 1978, and a group of young and beautiful young people were admitted to the acting class. They contributed a series of good works in the 1980s and 1990s, and then some of them got old and retired.


    But the achievements of the acting class are rarely mentioned, because the directors and photography departments of the 1978 class are more brilliant. They constitute a cultural term called the fifth generation.


    After breakfast.


    The students in the acting class were all sitting in the cafeteria. They knew that someone would audition today, but they didn''t know the list.


    Zhang Fengyi, Xie Yuan, and Zhang Tielin had a good relationship. They sat together and muttered: "Do you know what the show is?"


    "It seems like love."


    "Oh, then we''re both doomed!"


    Xie Yuan looked dejected and said: "Zhang Fengyi and I don''t look like we are making a romance movie. We are just as good at making a murder movie."


    "Hey, I''m different, I should be able to go!"


    Emperor Ama Zhang Tielin was quite proud. He had not yet turned into a beard-blowing, staring-eyed style. When he was young, he was also pretty and handsome. Suddenly he whispered: "Who do you think girls are?"


    "Do you even need to ask?"


    Xie Yuan was in disbelief and said: "I don''t know about others, but Fang Shu is there!"


    "Yes, there is Fang Shu anyway!"


    "Zhou Lijing must be there too!"


    They looked at a girl sitting alone in front and a boy sitting alone. These two people seemed not to be in the same group, but their temperament was very unique. They were also eye-catching among this group of people and stood out from the crowd.


    The girl’s name is Fang Shu and the boy’s name is Zhou Lijing.
