Huayu since 1980

Chapter 752 Zhu Xinzhuang (4000+ chapters, please subscribe~)

Yanjing, Zhu Xinzhuang!

Wu Jianye, Zhang Yimou, and Zhao Fei got off the minibus one after another.

The sign of 'Yanjing Film Academy' is still hanging on the wall, it is still black on a white background, and the character 'ying' is still composed of a 'well' and three apostrophes!

Zhang Yimou sighed and said: "Ten years have passed, and nothing has changed?"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "The original brand was confiscated by the college. I asked someone to rewrite it!"

Zhao Fei looked at the big iron gate, and said with a smile: "So I didn't miss this!"

Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "That's you!"

After finishing speaking, Wu Jianye kicked Zhao Fei's ass directly, but Zhao Fei was willing to give way, chasing Wu Jianye and began to fight, while Zhang Yimou, who was behind him, laughed.

Zhang Yimou was originally the oldest among the students in their class, coupled with his calm personality, so Zhang Yimou rarely participated in the fights among the students.

Soon Zhang Yimou heard Zhao Fei shouting, "No, I have to go and see my dormitory, has it changed?"

Zhang Yimou and Zhao Fei are in the same dormitory, Zhang Yimou is the oldest in the photography department, and Zhao Fei is the youngest in the photography department!

At this time, a man in his early 50s got out of the minibus next to Zhang Yimou.

"I really don't come here many times!" said the man.

"Is Mr. Guo the same as you remember?" Zhang Yimou showed some respect for the man.

In fact, according to the relationship between Zhang Yimou and this man, he should be called a senior brother, but there are some other relationships in it, so Zhang Yimou called him a teacher.

And this teacher Guo is actually none other than Guo Baochang, the director of the later classic TV series "The Mansion Gate".

Guo Baochang is actually a graduate of Yanjing Film Academy. If calculated according to the normal time, Guo Baochang should have graduated from the director department of Yanjing Film Academy in 65, but because of that special period, he has been in the film industry since 79. Just got the college diploma.

When he came to the college to get his graduation certificate, he also attracted the attention of many students!

Guo Baochang’s original name was actually not Guo Baochang, but Li Baochang. He was born in a poor worker’s family in Yanjing. His father died of illness when he was two years old, and his mother sold him to a family for 80 yuan, and then he was redeemed. After returning home, he sold it to Tongrentang for 200 yuan. Because his adoptive mother's surname was Guo, he changed his name to Guo Baochang!

As for his adoptive mother, there are different opinions, but the most widely said is that her adoptive mother is Xiangxiu in "The Mansion Gate"!

And "The Mansion Gate" is actually adapted from his own experience.

This time Guo Baochang came to Zhu Xinzhuang Academy with Wu Jianye and others, in fact, he also came to play the boss of the TV station in the movie.

Guo Baochang's personal temperament is definitely not a problem for this kind of cameo role. Zhang Yimou and Guo Baochang walked slowly in the academy. Zhang Yimou looked at the same thing in the academy, and he seemed a little bit surprised.

"Xiao Wu has a heart!" Guo Baochang also sighed sincerely beside him.

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "Old Wu is the most special one among our class of students. When everyone first came to the academy, Old Wu's character was actually a bit dull, but then suddenly became lively for some reason. , first he wrote the script and then acted in the movie, and then no one thought that he would become the most successful director in our session!"

Recalling the little things in school, Zhang Yimou also sighed a lot.

At first he was an auditor, but later he was accepted as a regular student because of his excellent grades. At that time, Chen Kaige was busy attending the recital, while Zhang Yimou himself was attending the photography exhibition.

At that time, everyone seemed very confused about the future, but they also looked forward to it.

After a while, Wu Jianye and Zhao Fei walked over cheerfully, but at this moment, they were already sweating profusely.

The two of them didn't care, they went directly to the faucet and took a good wash with cold water.

Zhao Fei even ran up to Zhang Yimou and shook off the water all over Zhang Yimou.

Guo Baochang came to Wu Jianye and said, "Director Wu."

"No, Teacher Guo, you should call me Xiao Wu!" Wu Jianye said hastily.

Guo Baochang laughed, but did not refute, and said with a smile: "Xiao Wu, I have to thank you, I left a thought for the people of our Film Academy!"

Wu Jianye knew that Guo Baochang was talking about leaving the Zhu Xinzhuang Film Academy, so he chuckled and said, "I just feel that everything I have started here. I had this condition at the beginning, so I left him Saved!"

Guo Baochang didn't ask Wu Jianye how much he spent to keep it here. Although he was sold several times when he was young, when he was bought to Tongrentang later, his adoptive mother treated him very well, so the living conditions were quite good. Of course, he was treated unfairly because of this relationship, so I don't need to go into details here.

Generally speaking, apart from the process of being sold when he was young, Guo Baochang lived in a wealthy environment in his childhood, which also led to his less serious views on money.

"Ms. Guo, this time it's mine. Thank you for coming to help us shoot. If there is anything wrong, please give me some pointers!" Wu Jianye said modestly.

Guo Baochang joked: "Now who doesn't say that Wu Jianye is our number one director in China, who can guide you!"

Wu Jianye: "You laugh at me!"

The two chatted and walked towards the back of the school.

Although Tangting Culture has set up a studio here, it does not have the basic layout of the college, but just set up a studio behind the college, and this land is newly bought!
At this time, Wang Xiaoshuai has already directed the behind-the-scenes personnel of "The World of Chu Xing", and has already set up shooting equipment here!
After seeing Wu Jianye and the others, he hurried over, first addressing Guo Baochang respectfully: "Teacher Guo!"

Wu Jianye introduced Guo Baochang with a smile: "His name is Wang Xiaoshuai, and he is also a graduate of our college's director department!"

When Guo Baochang heard that Wang Xiaoshuai was also a student who graduated from the Directing Department of the Film Academy, he immediately felt a lot of kindness.

"Haha, that's right, Xiaoshuai, the two of us are authentic brothers and sisters, and Xiao Wu and Xiao Zhang are not the same at all!"

Wu Jianye is a student of the Fine Arts Department of the Film Academy, Zhang Yimou and Zhao Fei are students of the Photography Department of the Film Academy. Among them, only Wang Xiaoshuai is a student of the Directing Department of the Film Academy.

Wang Xiaoshuai scratched his head, he didn't know what to say, what is Guo Baochang's status, so he can tease Wu Jianye, Zhang Yimou and others at will.

But Wang Xiaoshuai can't do it. The fifth-generation directors in China are now famous, and Wu Jianye and Zhang Yimou are the two most dazzling stars among them, and their status is much higher than Wang Xiaoshuai.

In the end, Wang Xiaoshuai had no choice but to change the subject and said, "Director Wu, the preparations here are all ready. You can also put on makeup and get ready to shoot!"

Wu Jianye also had no objection to this, and brought Guo Baochang and others to the temporary dressing room and began to put on makeup.

Because the director Wu Jianye will play is older than Wu Jianye's actual age, Wu Jianye is wearing older makeup, while Zhang Yimou is younger.

So after they put on their makeup, Wu Jianye looked at Zhang Yimou, who was at least a few years younger, and laughed: "Old Mouzi, you have rejuvenated yourself!"

Zhang Yimou looked at himself in the mirror and said with a wry smile: "It's you, I can't come if I change the second person, you don't know, Lu Wei knows that I want to come to play a guest role with you, but I'm sorry How many days!"

The filming at Zhu Xinzhuang Studio will take at least two weeks, which is definitely a precious time for Zhang Yimou who has entered a critical period of preparation for "Alive".

On the other hand, Wu Jianye smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, Vegeta will start filming "Farewell My Concubine" next month, and it will be four or five months after the filming, so you have to wait!"

Zhang Yimou's "To Live" starred Ge You and Gong Li, and both of them participated in Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" at the same time, so the two wanted to join Zhang Yimou's "To Live", just as Wu Jianye said As said, we have to wait!
Zhang Yimou said: "Don't fool me, we are all in this business, who doesn't know how important the preliminary preparations are, I don't care, you have to compensate me!"

Wu Jianye was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed and cursed: "Okay, old Mouzi, you are a bit of a bad learner now, and you have started to blackmail. This is not the you you used to be!"

Obviously, Zhang Yimou seldom did this kind of thing, so Zhang Yimou felt a little embarrassed when Wu Jianye said this.

Wu Jianye was also not polite, and asked with a smile: "Tell me, is there a problem with the budget!"

Zhang Yimou laughed and said, "There is no problem now, but I am afraid that there will be problems in the future!"

Then Zhang Yimou explained: "You have never worried about money to make a movie, we group of people, who didn't shoot it out of the box!"

After Wu Jianye heard it, he immediately became unhappy, and said, "I don't worry about money, it's because I have the ability to sell the movie at a good price!"

Zhang Yimou can only be speechless about this. He and Chen Kaige are known as the most outstanding fifth-generation directors in China under Wu Jianye, but they also know that in terms of movies, the two of them are the same as Wu Jianye. The gap between is omni-directional.

Whether it's awards or box office.

In terms of awards, while the two were still working hard to win their first European film festival award, Wu Jianye was about to win all three major film festival awards.

Up to now, Wu Jianye only lacks the Palme d'Or of the Cannes Film Festival, but he has the best director of the Cannes Film Festival with him!
As for the box office, let alone!
Except for Wu Jianye's first movie "Raise the Red Lantern", any one of Wu Jianye's remaining four movies can beat the total box office of all the movies they have shot so far
This is the sorrow of the two!
Guo Baochang, who was standing next to him, was also smiling as he watched the two quarreling. Guo Baochang was very excited about today's guest appearance.

Although I don't have many roles, probably only a week, but this kind of experience has made Guo Baochang very curious. It seems like a good idea for the director to make a cameo in the movie.

They were all big men, so it wouldn't take long to put on makeup. More than half an hour later, Wu Jianye brought Zhang Yimou and others into the studio to start the formal shooting.

Because he wants to participate in the performance, Wang Xiaoshuai has already replaced Wu Jianye in front of the camera at this time, exercising the rights of director.

Wu Jianye began to brew his own emotions.

Following Wang Xiaoshuai's order, Wu Jianye's performance began.

At this time, Wu Jianye was wearing a beret, glasses, and a velvet sweater, looking very elegant.

This scene is a monologue of the director played by Wu Jianye, so I, Jianye, is the only one performing, while Zhang Yimou and Guo Baochang are sitting outside watching Wu Jianye's performance.

Guo Baochang watched it for a while, then smiled and said, "Xiao Wu's acting skills are pretty good!"

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "When Old Wu wrote the script of "The Peacock Princess", Mr. Situ still competed with Mr. Li Jushan. At that time, Mr. Wu also said that he wanted to learn acting. I didn't expect that Mr. Wu would go so far as to be a director. so good!"

The two of them just had a brief chat, and then carefully watched where Wu Jianye was performing. Although both of them are directors now, they will definitely be on stage soon, so neither of them wants to lose face in each other's eyes.

After a scene was over, Wu Jianye walked up to the camera and watched his performance back.

But after reading it, Wu Jianye slightly shook his head and said, "This one is wrong, let's retake it!"

Wang Xiaoshuai looked at Wu Jianye with some incomprehension: "Director Wu, I think you are so good!"

Wu Jianye explained: "No, the director is not a bad person, and you can't say that. At least the director himself didn't think he did something wrong, so the way I acted to the director was wrong!"

In the camera, the corners of Wu Jianye's mouth would occasionally twitch slightly, giving the director a sense of villainy that he shouldn't have!

Zhang Yimou nodded beside him, expressing his agreement with Wu Jianye's opinion: "Yes, I have already read the script of this movie. From the beginning to the end, the director never thought that he was doing anything wrong. It seems to him that everything about him is correct, and he can even be a little self-satisfied occasionally, but the feeling of evil must not appear on him!"

Seeing that both Wu Jianye and Zhang Yimou said that, Wang Xiaoshuai had nothing to say, so he asked the crew to prepare and reshoot the scene just now.

Guo Baogang patted Wang Xiaoshuai on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Boy, learn hard, it's not easy to get advice from the two of them!"

Wang Xiaoshuai nodded with a smile.

It was noon for this shoot. At this time, everyone saw that Zhu Zhu came to the shooting scene in a car with a yellow face.
