Full-time actor

Chapter 203 [30] "Republic" premiere party! Top level!

March 2003, 3 was the day when "Toward a Republic" premiered on CCTV.

Chen Yu was dressed in new clothes, and Ji Qiannan drove him towards the address of Jiana Shahatifa.

Xiyuan Hotel!

This time, the dinner celebrating the premiere of "Toward a Republic" is here.

It is not far from CCTV, but the current CCTV building is still an old radio station. The new Big Pants Building has just completed the bidding and is ready for construction. It will not be fully relocated until 2013.

Chen Yu got out of the car and immediately saw Li Guangjie, who was pretty and pretty, walking out of a taxi.

He played the "male number one" Guangxu in "Toward a Republic".

"Senior!"

Chen Yu said hello to him, and Li Guangjie saw Chen Yu beside him. He was stunned for a moment and didn't react, but he still said: "Hello, hello, are you in the drama too?"

At present, Li Guangjie has not graduated from Chinese Opera and is in the last semester of performance practice in his senior year. He is one of the few recommended students of Chinese Opera.

But he was only in his sophomore year when he got the role of Guangxu.

This actor became famous in later generations, and together with Lei Datou and Guo Jingfei, they called themselves the "TF Old Boy Group"!

However, he has taken on many TV dramas and movies, but not many out-of-the-circle roles. His acting skills are actually not bad; and the starting point of his debut was the "male lead" in "Toward the Republic".

The starting point is already very high, let alone the entire entertainment industry, even if it is successful, it can be compared to 99%.

Between 03 and 08, many people in the industry thought that he would be a big hit, not only on par with Chen Kun, but at least on the level of Lu Yi. At that time, he also acted in many TV series, and all of them were male leads, but I just didn’t meet a good character, so it just didn’t explode.

The most famous title is Hao Lei's ex-husband.

Hao Lei probably thought he would be very popular at first, so he married him in 07. Unexpectedly, they divorced two years later.

Therefore, in the entertainment industry, it is really important to encounter a good script.

Chen Yu followed him into the lobby of Xiyuan Hotel and said, "Yes, I am also a student of the Chinese Opera!"

"Are you also attending the "Towards a Republic" dinner party?"

Li Guangjie smiled and pressed the elevator button one step ahead. Chen Yu motioned for him to go in. The two of them were polite and had to go in together.

"Yes, but I played a small role!"

"Haha, there is no such thing as a small role. Being able to take on this drama shows that your acting skills are good!"

"But why haven't I seen you in the drama, a sophomore?"

Li Guangjie vaguely felt that Chen Yu looked familiar, but couldn't recall it.

"I'm...a freshman!"

"Freshman year?"

Li Guangjie was not pretending to be surprised. He had never heard of anyone being able to act in a freshman during his four years at China National Theater. Now he took a closer look at Chen Yu and suddenly remembered.

"You...you are..."

"The representative of the freshmen at the opening ceremony, right?"

Of course, Li Guangjie also attended the opening ceremony. At that time, the school's senior representative came to the stage to speak. He was originally selected, but in the end, before the school started, Chen Sicheng was nominated for the Hundred Flowers Best Actor. The candidate changed in an instant.

All I can say is that the Chinese drama is quite realistic.

"Well, Chen Yu!"

Chen Yu introduced himself, the elevator door opened, and Li Guangjie was about to walk out. When he heard the name, his face suddenly froze.

One of the things he heard the most these days was that they had another Berlin actor in the drama, and he was also a freshman, and his name was Chen Yu.

"..."

He looked at Chen Yu in front of him, his expression instantly awkward.

Could it be...that's him?

For sure!

Who else is a freshman in Chinese drama named Chen Yu?

Li Guangjie's expression instantly became a little embarrassed. The sight of Chen Yu in front of him really frightened him.

No wonder minor roles also received invitations. Li Guangjie was just about to have a good chat with Chen Yu, but he didn’t expect Jiana Shahati, the assistant director of "Toward the Republic", wearing a beautiful cheongsam, walking out of the box and facing Chen Yu enthusiastically. Welcoming.

This outfit is not as good as the bare-faced look during filming. She is on the level of a leading lady!

It has to be said that Director Jiana, who was dressed up to attend, was not inferior to some female stars in appearance. After all, she also made her debut as an actress, and she was an ethnic minority area rich in exotic beauties.

The appearance is indeed nothing to say.

"Berlin Best Actor, long time no see!"

Jiana Shahati smiled at Chen Yu, and then the two hugged politely.

Li Guangjie next to him also said hello to Jiana Shahati, but Jiana just smiled at him.

Status level, make judgments from superior to inferior.

Li Guangjie smiled, maintained her grace, and said hello to Chen Yu, indicating that he should go in first. Chen Yu hurriedly said: "Senior, please add your contact information later!"

"Okay, okay, that's definitely no problem!"

"I'll go in first!"

Li Guangjie was immediately in a good mood, and the Berlin actor took the initiative to add his mobile phone number. This was his honor.

"No one knows how to behave like you!"

Jiana Shahati actually watched the scene just now. He pulled Chen Yu towards another box. Chen Yu could only shrug his shoulders: "As a senior, I may be the male lead in "Toward a Republic" in the future. Fire!"

"If it becomes popular, then say something that will become popular!"

"But looking at you like this shows that I saw the right person!" Jiana Shahati smiled and pushed open the door of the box. Several people were already sitting there, chatting; Li Guangjie obviously Not among these people.

"Let me introduce to you-"

Jana Shahati smiled, and one of the men wearing a hat stood up immediately: "What are you introducing? Who doesn't know you?"

"Director Yate, hello, hello!"

Chen Yu hurriedly stepped forward. This was the location director of "Toward a Republic". He went to Qingdao to shoot the Japanese soldier training, naval battles and other scenes.

"Today is different from the past. It has only been a year, and the extras have reached the Berlin Best Actor!"

"You are the only one in this circle to skip a grade!"

Yate and Chen Yu hugged each other tightly. Seeing that Chen Yu still remembered him, the other party was obviously very happy.

The most important thing is Chen Yu's attitude, which makes Yate very comfortable.

He introduced to Chen Yu that there were three other people in the box - Luo Hao, Sheng Heyu and Feng Ji!

The latter two are the screenwriters of "Toward a Republic". Needless to say, Sheng Heyu is also a descendant of Sheng Xuanhuai, who is also the descendant of the characters in the history textbook. They are indeed at the top level; and Feng Ji and Chen Yu also know each other.

Although he is the most inconspicuous among the three people now, to be able to sit in this box, it is obvious that his status is not ordinary.

Chen Yu doesn't know what his family's background is, but he can write many good scripts in later generations - "Eternal Number", "Fire Blue Blade", "Operation Red Sea"... "Special War Glory" no.

The first three films are definitely classics with military themes.

The first one, Luo Hao, is currently the biggest player in the box.

The chief producer of "Toward the Republic", the deputy director of Changsha TV Station, the deputy director of Changsha Radio and Television Group, and the CEO of a film and television company.

This isn't even the best.

The most awesome one is his Mrs. Song, who is a hundred times more famous than him and is a frequent visitor to the Spring Festival Gala every year.

Chen Yu shook hands with the three of them and exchanged greetings, then sat next to Jiana Shahati, with screenwriter Feng Ji on the left.

"Brother Xiao Yu, leave your contact information!"

Feng Ji is probably the lowest-ranked person here, so the conversation with Chen Yu is okay. Although Luo Hao has a good attitude, he can tell that he and Yate are discussing the broadcast of "Toward a Republic" on his radio station. .

In addition to CCTV, Changsha TV also got the first broadcast of "Toward the Republic".

"Yeah, are you all here?"

A hoarse voice sounded, and Zhang Li, the director of "Toward the Republic" with some bumps on his face, walked into the box with a smile on his face.

"Director Zhang, I'm just waiting for you guys!"

Sheng Heyu stood up with a smile and opened a seat next to Zhang Li. Zhang Li glanced around the box and finally landed on Chen Yu. Chen Yu quickly stood up: "Director Zhang!"

"Chen Yu!"

Zhang Li nodded and stretched out his hand towards Chen Yu: "The young people today are amazing, I am Zhang Li!"

"sit down!"

After shaking hands with Chen Yu, he sat down.

This great director graduated from Nortel's 78-level Photography Department, which is known as Nortel's best year.

He, Lao Mouzi, Gu Changwei, and future Nortel leader Zhang Huijun lived in the same dormitory, all from the photography department.

Chen Kaige, Li Shaohong, Hu Mei, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Huo Jianqi, etc. entered the school in one year.

But what is different from these people making movies is that he later specialized in TV dramas.

Two of the TV series he directed are among the top three on Douban. The upcoming "Ming Dynasty 1566" is also directed by him; there are also "The Righteous Path in the World Is Vicissitudes of Life", "Revolution of ", "Young Marshal", "Forty" "Nine Days·Sacrifice"... "Martial Arts" is probably in name only.

Currently, his status in the photography circle is actually higher than that in the directing circle.

He is Feng Xiaogang's royal photographer, and he photographed "The Big Shot", "A World Without Thieves", "The Night Banquet", and later Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff"; and one of his famous and sensational photography works is "Red Cherry" filmed with Ye Daying!

"Isn't Lao Ye here yet?"

Zhang Li asked Jiana Shahati, who glanced at his watch: "It should be almost soon, he set off 20 minutes ago!"

"Mr. Liu and Director Gao are coming later!"

"Where's Zhao Tai?"

Jana Shah asked.

"I don't know, Director Gao has to invite me!"

"At least we have a director, so we should be able to invite him to the premiere banquet, right?"

"..."

The two chatted in low voices, and Chen Yu could hear it clearly; he actually couldn't figure out who was who, but he did know that Mr. Liu in their mouths should be the real investor of "Toward a Republic"—— Liu Wenwu.

This person was first the editor-in-chief of Er Yuehe, the author of the Qing Dynasty trilogy "Yongzheng Kangxi Dynasty" and a master's degree in Chinese at the National People's Congress. Because he fell in love with these three novels, he came up with the idea of ​​​​entering the film and television industry, and then established a company called Tongdao Culture. Television Company.

The first TV series he invested in was "Yongzheng Dynasty". With a huge investment of 2600 million yuan, he eventually became the king of dramas that broke CCTV's ratings record.

It can be said to be a step to the sky.

Unfortunately, just because "Yongzheng" was so popular, the second "Kangxi" was rejected; until the third "Qianlong" Liu Wenwu rushed to launch, and Ye Daying was hired to direct, I didn't expect that this drama was a bit disappointing.

"Towards a Republic" was the film he planned to use to make a comeback; Zhang Li was actually the photographer of "Yongzheng Dynasty", but was only the nominal art director.

Squeak!

While Zhang Li was chatting with Jiana Shahati, the door of the box was suddenly opened.

The pot-bellied Ye Daying walked in with two men dressed in business-like clothes, talking and laughing.
