Huayu since 1980

Chapter 476 "Legend of the New White Snake", which is not favored by others (4000+ chapters, please subscribe~)

The fact that Chen Hong and the others left doesn't mean the audition is over, and characters like Qi Baoshan haven't been finalized yet.

The main audition actors are Zhang Jiayi, Liu Yijun, Xing Minshan, and Zhang Zijian. After a round of auditions, Wu Jianye and others also had a preliminary impression.

"Xing Minshan can't do it, he's too handsome, and it's easy to steal the limelight from other people!" Hu Mei took the lead in passing Xing Minshan. Qi Baoshan's character is a relatively simple and honest character, and Xing Minshan is really not suitable.

At this time, Xing Minshan is the kind of handsome man with no dead ends in 360 degrees. If he was born a few decades later, he would be a top-notch young meat-level existence.

Li Xiaowan said with some regret: "Isn't it a pity that such an actor lost his pass like this?"

Hu Mei thought for a while and suggested, "Why don't you let him play Zhang Yutang?"

Zhang Yutang is the one who had a relationship with Xiaoqing in "Legend of the New White Snake" and almost died.

Wu Jianye thought for a while and said, "Yes."

After the three of them discussed again, they finally decided to play Qi Baoshan by Liu Yijun. As for Zhang Jiayi and Zhang Zijian, they did not pass directly, and each arranged for Zhang Jiayi to play one of the five ghosts. At this time, Zhang Jiayi It is true that he is not as attractive when he is older, but Zhang Zijian's role is a little more important, that of the grand master's son who was killed by Xiaoqing.

Chen Hong also returned to the hotel at this time, but she was always a little nervous. She and the other two Chinese opera actresses were the only ones in Tangting Culture who did not audition for other roles. Although they suspected that the role of Xiaoqing was in the three of them Born in the middle, but there are accidents in everything, and she can't be sure about uncertain things.

Sitting on the sofa in the room, Chen Hong hugged her legs and put her head on her knees, thinking if she could be more active.
Jingle Bell!
At this time, the phone in the room rang suddenly, which scared Chen Hong into a shudder, but then she quickly stood up and ran over to answer the phone, then calmed down her panting, and said, "Hello."

"Hello, we are Tangting Culture. This call is to inform you that you have successfully become the actor of Xiaoqing in "Legend of the New White Snake". You need to come to our company to sign a contract tomorrow!" The voice on the other side of the phone continued. When it fell into Chen Hong's ears, it was like the sound of nature.

"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you!" Chen Hong said excitedly.

At the same time, Xu Qing and Jiang Wenli from Yanjing Film Academy also received calls from the aunts in the dormitory, telling them to answer the phone. And Li Bilian!
As for Jiang Shan, she was also offered the role of Wu Yulian.

Although Jiang Wenli and the others seemed a little disappointed that they did not receive the role of Xiaoqing, they were not so disappointed when they thought that they would be able to participate in the TV series directed by Wu Jianye when they were just starting out.

Then Xu Qing dialed Ye Jing's phone with some dissatisfaction and complained.

The next day!

In Tangting Culture, all the members of the "Legend of the New White Lady" gathered together. The soul character of the White Lady Zhu Zhu, who played the role of Xu Xian, Xu Shilin's Liu Dong, and the newly promoted Xiaoqing's Chen Hong, etc., all sat in the hall. meeting room.

But when they saw that there were still a few vacant seats in the front row of the conference room, they all showed curious expressions.

Liu Dong asked Zhu Zhu next to him in a low voice, "What does your guy mean? Is there anyone else?"

Zhu Zhuo showed a faint smile and said, "You will know soon!"

"Cut, don't say pull it down!" Liu Dong gave Zhu Zhu a white look, and said.

Zhu Zhuo smiled and said nothing.

As for Chen Hong, who was on the side, had been quietly observing Zhu Zhuo. She knew that this was Wu Jianye's wife, and she only hinted to Wu Jianye what was going on in her heart once, and the rest of them didn't know it at all.

But at this moment, seeing Zhu Zhuo sitting there frowning and smiling, all extremely dignified and generous, even though she is extremely confident in her appearance, Chen Hong is still a little entangled at this time, whether she can succeed or not.

Just when everyone was curious, Wu Jianye brought a few women into the conference room. Compared with the assistant director Hu Mei and the producer Li Xiaowan, these people are naturally familiar, and there is nothing wrong with them following in, but when When they saw the women next to Wu Jianye, they all showed puzzled expressions.

Four young girls in their 20s, a man in his 30s, and a woman in her 50s walked into the meeting room.

Some people recognized them.

Four of the girls are the four known as the five golden flowers of Huangmei Opera, namely Ma Lan, Wu Qiong, Wu Yaling, and Yang Jun.

There is also a golden flower that everyone is familiar with. It is Yuan Mei who played the attacker in "A Dream of Red Mansions".

These five golden flowers all graduated from Huangmei Drama Theater of Anhui Province. In 1981, they went to Hong Kong to perform and caused a sensation. They were called "Five Golden Flowers of Huangmei Opera" by the media.

Later, this title spread to the country and was called out by everyone.

Ma Lan once played Tang Seng's mother, Miss Yin in "Journey to the West", and later married Yu Qiuyu.

Wu Qiong is known as the most charming singing voice among the five golden flowers, and she often plays the role of the princess in "The Female Consort".

Wu Yaling's representative works include "Home" and "Thunderstorm", etc., her future husband is also her partner, and later became the director of Huangmei Theater in Anhui Province.

In fact, Yang Jun also participated in the filming of "Journey to the West", playing the role of a village girl transformed into a bone spirit. She is the most heroic actress among the five golden flowers.

These four later became national first-class actors, and some even won the "Magnolia Award".

And the man in his 30s is also an actor of Huangmei Opera, Wu Yaling's partner, and the future national first-class actor Huang Xinde.

And the woman they are surrounded by is Ding Junmei, the teacher of Five Golden Flowers and the veteran artist of Huangmei Opera.

As for why Yuan Mei was missing from the five golden flowers, it was because when "A Dream of Red Mansions" went to the Huangmei Opera Troupe to select actors, Yuan Mei, Ma Lan and Wu Yaling were selected.

Ma Lan was the mainstay of the stage at the time, the Huangmei Opera Troupe did not let anyone go, and Wu Yaling did not want to leave Anhui Province. In the end, only Yuan Mei went to the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions". After the filming of "Dream of Red Mansions", Yuan Mei did not return to Huangmei Opera Instead, he went to Guangdong Provincial TV Station and became an actor on Guangdong Provincial TV Station.

"Teacher Ding, sit down!" Wu Jianye said politely, pointing to the chief seat in the conference room.

Ding Junmei laughed heartily: "Director Wu, you are the host and I am the guest, so it is appropriate for you to sit here."

Wu Jian Yeqian gave way, that is, he was no longer polite, and sat directly on the main seat, and said with a smile: "Everyone should be familiar with it, the reason why I invited Mr. Ding and others this time is because we The performance of this TV series will combine some elements of Huangmei Opera, so after arriving in Lin'an, everyone will have a period of time to learn Huangmei Opera and familiarize themselves with the story with these teachers before filming begins."

As soon as Wu Jianye's words fell, there were small voices of discussion in the conference room. No one thought that Wu Jianye would make his first TV series appear in the form of combining Huangmei Opera.

Although actors from Huangmei Opera were selected in both "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West" in the past few years, it is more because of the performance methods that these actors have already honed, which are more suitable for the presentation of these two plays. The way.

But now that the domestic TV dramas are developing rapidly, such a choice has long been abandoned, and more of them are filming current TV dramas in a well-regulated manner. Even costume dramas will no longer have such a choice.

Now Wu Jianye actually recruited these Huangmei opera actors again, and wanted to add elements of Huangmei opera to his TV series?

Is Wu Jianye too confident?
For a while, many people began to wonder whether Wu Jianye was a little too arrogant. After all, it is impossible for the current audience to sit in front of the TV and watch Huangmei Opera honestly.

You must know that rock, pop music, and break dancing are the most popular right now. This is what young people love to watch most, Huangmei Opera.
"Linlin, what is your family going to do?" Liu Dong also asked curiously.

Zhu Yan smiled slightly: "Didn't he make it very clear, let this play be combined with the way of Huangmei Opera!"

Liu Dong said speechlessly: "Of course I know this, but will it be too big?"

Zhu Zhuo's peach blossom eyes looked at Wu Jianye full of love, and said, "I believe him!"

Liu Dong became more and more helpless. She found that Wu Jianye had protected Zhu Jue very well, and Zhu Juan really believed in Wu Jianye 100%. Now everyone can't wait to add all the TV dramas However, Wu Jianye went the other way and added Huangmei Opera to his TV series.

Zhu Zhu still acted as if he trusted Wu Jianye very much.

"Teacher Ding, I will be counting on you for the next few months!" Wu Jianye smiled to Ding Junmei next to him.

Ding Junmei said: "Director Wu is too polite, it should be our troupe thanking Director Wu for the truth!"

Now the Huangmei Drama Troupe is not as brilliant as it was a few years ago, and sometimes they can't even pay their salaries, and some members of the troupe have begun to take private jobs in private and start to go out of their way.

In fact, Wu Jianye should be grateful for this environment, otherwise Wu Jianye might not be able to invite all these people at one time. These people are all the pillars and main actors of the Huangmei Opera Troupe, so he could invite them all at one time , almost hollowed out the Huangmei Opera Troupe. If it was placed a few years ago, even if Wu Jianye had money, it would be impossible to invite all of them.

It’s different now, Wu Jianye sponsored Huangmei Opera Troupe 10 in the name of dignified culture, and helped Huangmei Opera Troupe overcome its own crisis, plus Wu Jianye’s episodes and themes from "Legend of the New White Lady" When the song was released, old artists like Ding Junmei were also interested.

The problems we had to face were also easily solved.

This meeting is a meeting of "Legend of the New White Snake", mainly for these actors to get acquainted with each other, and then arrange the next itinerary.

After the meeting was over, these people left separately, ready to pack their luggage.

Wu Jianye invited Ding Junmei and others to dinner to show respect.

But what Wu Jianye didn't know was that the news that he planned to combine "Legend of the New White Snake" with Huangmei Opera soon spread.

First, it spread in a small area in Yanjing.

Many people began to doubt whether Wu Jianye's decision this time was correct.

The next day, when Wu Jianye came to Tangting Culture, he received a lot of calls.

"Xiao Wu, I understand your desire to combine our domestic traditional culture with popular culture, but is it too risky for you to do so?" This is the call from Dean Shen.

Wu Jianye explained: "The TV series "Legend of the White Snake" will still be presented in a normal way of performance, but elements of Huangmei Opera are added to it."

Dean Shen still said worriedly: "Even so, this is a thankless task, and it is likely to have an adverse effect on your previous reputation!"

No one wants to show traces of failure on their own success path, this is what Dean Shen is worried about.

Wu Jianye smiled, no one knew better than him the power of the TV series "Legend of the New White Snake". This TV series not only caused a huge sensation in China, Wanwan and Xiangjiang, but It set off a frenzy of ratings throughout Southeast Asia.

failure?

impossible!

"If you fail, let's just fail, and think of it as contributing to our country's traditional culture!" Naturally, Wu Jianye couldn't tell Dean Shen how much of a stir this TV series had caused.

"Besides, if it succeeds, wouldn't it be a kind of contribution!"

Dean Shen heard that Wu Jianye was so confident, and said with a smile: "Well, since you have a good mind, it's fine!"

Some were worried about Wu Jianye, and some were gloating, waiting to see Wu Jianye fail.

Nowadays, Tangting Culture is a big mountain standing in front of domestic cultural companies, and Wu Jianye is the highest peak of this mountain.

If Wu Jianye fails, it means they have more opportunities.

"How much do you think Wu Jianye invested in this TV series?"

Dafeng Culture Company is a newly established cultural company in Yanjing in the past two years. The boss Shi Hongwei studied abroad in the early days, earned some money outside, and returned to China to open a cultural company.

In fact, there is no contradiction between Dafeng Culture and Tangting Culture. In the past two years, Shi Hongwei has invested in two movies and a TV series, but the movies he invested in did not make money. The most important thing is that he also wanted to cooperate with China Film before. The films of our own company follow the box office sharing model.

However, the staff of China Film Group who received him just replied to him indifferently: "You think you are a dignified culture!"

The same is true for TV series. At the beginning of this year, Dafeng Culture invested in a TV series and wanted to broadcast it on Yanjing TV. As a result, Yanjing TV did broadcast it, but the ratings were not good.

When having dinner with the management of Yanjing TV Station, the two sides just chatted over wine, but this wine talk mentioned Tangting culture.

"Mr. Shi, you Dafeng Culture should go to Tangting Culture to learn experience."
