Director of Photography Department of Huayu

Chapter 32 Teacher, you are still professional

In the Performance Department office, Xu Xiaodan, Chen Bing and others looked at Wu Chen curiously, and then went about their own business.

Wu Chen moved a stool and sat next to Wang Jinsong, whispering, "Teacher Wang, can you recommend a few actors?"

"Hmm?" Wang Jinsong's eyes narrowed slightly. "Yours?"

Seeing Wu Chen nod slightly, Wang Jinsong thought for a moment, and without caring about being surprised, he stood up and said, "Well, come with me!"

The two found an empty classroom, and Wu Chen told Wang Jinsong the story before he came back to his senses from the shock.

"Wu Chen, you really surprised me."

Wang Jinsong sighed, saying that the students who were helping their class with photography a few days ago are now shooting a movie in the blink of an eye.

"Isn't this our tradition at the Beijing Film Academy? They say you should become famous early." Wu Chen chuckled. "Teacher Wang, I will remember your teachings and help each other when we are out and about."

Wang Jinsong burst out laughing when he heard this, then said confidently, "You've found the right person. Tell me your standards!"

"Teacher Wang, I want someone of the right age, with a good image and temperament, good acting skills, low fame, low pay, and low risk factor."

"."

Wu Chen's series of requests silenced Wang Jinsong.

Wang Jinsong began to doubt his teaching and experience in the industry over the years.

Why did he feel that his reserves were not sufficient? After hearing these conditions, his mind was almost blank.

"How about it, teacher, do you have a suitable candidate?" Wu Chen asked with anticipation, his eyes almost twinkling with admiration.

These eyes filled with anticipation made Wang Jinsong look both happy and worried.

"Well, there are definitely some, don't worry!" Wang Jinsong pretended to be calm, "Well, your conditions are still too general. Be more specific, and I can recommend a few for you."

"Yeah, the teacher is still professional!"

Wu Chen smiled secretly in his heart. He also deliberately did not tell the specific role requirements so that Wang Jinsong would have room to perform.

When it comes to choosing the right candidates and screening out the cost-effectiveness, in this day and age, it is more reliable to find these acting teachers than to find casting directors.

The male lead should be between 25 and 30 years old and a professional symphony orchestra conductor. He should be able to show the selfishness and indifference beneath a gentle appearance, have a reserved and gloomy temperament, and be good at interpreting complex psychological dramas.
One of the heroines, the male protagonist's ex-girlfriend, is between 20 and 28 years old, young and beautiful, sensitive and suspicious. I need to use my looks to express a broken beauty, so as to reflect the sense of despair and tenacity torn apart;
The male protagonist's current girlfriend, between 20-28 years old, needs to have both an angelic face and a dark mind, gentle on the surface but scheming
Landlady.
local police
Violinist

Wu Chen stated the requirements for the three main characters and three supporting characters without hesitation.

These six people already cover 90% of the scenes.

"The information you provided is quite detailed. Let me think about it." Wang Jinsong nodded with a smile, his mind working rapidly, searching for the right person based on the information provided by Wu Chen.

I just made a solemn promise to my students, but if I can't find a suitable person, I would be slapping myself in the face.

No matter what, we can't lose face.

Wang Jinsong first thought of the male lead. After all, according to Wu Chen's description, the role of the male lead is very complex, but he must have good acting skills, low fame, low pay, and low risk factor.
Wu Chen was not in a hurry and waited quietly.

He knew that although there were many requirements, he could still choose one based on the people Wang Jinsong knew.

Wang Jinsong's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Don't tell me, there really is a suitable one, and the degree of fit is not low."

"Teacher, who is it?" "Zu Feng!"

"Teacher Zu Feng?" As Wu Chen muttered the name, the image of Li Ya, the Kuomintang secret agent from the TV series "The Disguiser", emerged in his mind.

“Yes, I graduated in 2000 and am still a teacher in the acting department. There is no problem with my acting skills;

He has a gloomy temperament and is good at interpreting complex psychological dramas. This year, he participated in the TV series "Silent Witness", playing the schizophrenic patient Shi Yin.

Although the TV series has not yet premiered, director Jiang Wei has given Zu Feng a high evaluation, so he should be quite suitable."

After Wang Jinsong finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at Wu Chen. Zu Feng seemed to be quite suitable in theory, but the specific situation would depend on the director Wu Chen.

To be honest, he still feels that it is not real.

"Is the feng shui of the photography department really so good?" Wang Jinsong muttered to himself.

Wu Chen quickly calculated that Zu Feng's acting skills were definitely no problem, his age was also suitable, and with glasses and a slicked-back hair, he would look like a gentleman with a scumbag vibe, and the image was perfect.

The most important thing nowadays is the pay, but "The Disguiser" has not been released yet, so Zu Feng's pay at this time is definitely not that high.

There's something going on!
Wu Chen made a quick judgment.

"Teacher Wang, you are so professional. I have been thinking about it for several days but couldn't find a suitable candidate. Teacher Zu Feng is perfect." Wu Chen praised the role.

"Well, it's okay." Wang Jinsong felt a sense of joy at this moment. According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, being recognized is a high level of satisfaction.

However, Wang Jinsong was not very satisfied with Wu Chen, who was recommended by him as the two female protagonists.

Che Xiao, Yang Xue, Yao Di, Ma Su, Wang Luodan
Wang Jinsong also noticed it, so the two of them tacitly skipped the female lead part.

"Landlord, you require someone over 50 years old. I can think of someone who is very suitable. His acting skills are absolutely fine and he also likes acting."

At this time, Wang Jinsong thought of a woman who is now retired.

"Teacher Xu Xiulin, what do you think?"

Wu Chen was stunned for a moment, "Teacher Wang, how can I invite Teacher Xu Xiulin now? Even if I wanted to, I don't know her."

A famous performing artist and a national first-class actor of the Beijing People's Art Theater. Even Wang Jinsong calls him teacher, which shows his status.

"Teacher Xu is reluctant to leave the stage and screen. Last time, she went to film "Good Wife" without any salary.

If you think it's suitable, I told her that she won't ask for much money from you, she'll be satisfied as long as she can act."

Originally, Wu Chen had planned to just find someone at random, but now that there was a better candidate, he wasn't stupid, so he quickly agreed: "Then I'll trouble you, Teacher Wang."

"Nothing, Teacher Xu always talks about joining the crew, so we all keep an eye out for her, and you're just the right person.

As for the police, how about Zhou Yiwei? As for the violinist, how about picking one from the students in the following grades at the Beijing Film Academy?

Wang Jinsong pondered, obviously hoping that Wu Chen would give more opportunities to students in the acting department.

Although I don’t know how Wu Chen’s movie will turn out, this kind of practical opportunity is rare, especially on the big screen.

"Of course, if the acting is not good, you still have to screen it out!"

"Okay, teacher, I'll consider it!"

Wu Chen nodded. This was not a problem. Besides, his budget was limited, so he planned to choose from among the students.
