Chapter 366 Itinerary

"Lingling."

"Lingling."

Xu Rong picked up the cell phone on the desk and frowned when he saw the name on the caller ID.

After the phone rang twice, he pressed the answer button. As the phone moved from his hand to his ear, a little smile slowly emanated from his face and said, "Oh, hello, leader."

"Leader, you are really imaginary. You are filming in Tianjin. The plan is to shoot snow scenes. It hasn't snowed these two days, so you are resting and waiting for the snow."

He briefly explained the polite words that the other party might not care about, but could not say, and asked, "Does the leader have any tasks to explain? Since I came to school, I haven't done much work. To be honest, I always feel a little uncomfortable."

"Hey, how can you trouble the leader to call me in person? You can just ask me to say hello."

"Okay, OK, tomorrow, I will definitely rush over tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone and sighing at the sudden extra trip, Xu Rong missed the People's Art Theater a little.

As an actor at the People's Art Theater, you can choose to lie down completely. As long as you pay a fine, no one will force him to do anything. Even if he doesn't enter the courtyard once a year, no one will say half of it.

There are many actors at the People's Art Theater, but with the increase of theaters, the staff of the actors are not enough. In terms of personnel increase and reduction of expenditure, the actual situation is becoming more and more insulting. In terms of personnel exports, people who leave jobs every year and retire never stop. However, in terms of source opening, as the quality of graduates of major universities declines year by year, fewer and fewer good candidates can be recruited.

Therefore, for actors who cannot participate in the performance arrangements in the institute as required, as long as they pay a symbolic fine, they can not participate in the performances in the institute.

From the perspective of the manager, he is not disgusted with this, but the premise is that the annual assessment must be implemented, because when these people come to the entertainment industry, they will be the opening remark of the sentence "I come from the Beijing People's Art Theater!". If they have real skills, such as Wu Gang, Feng Yuanzheng and others, it will give the hospital a face, but some people will play the opposite role.

For most audiences outside the capital, they have never watched a drama, and even more so, they have never heard of the Beijing People's Art Theater, and they don't know what level and nature of the People's Art Theater is. Their troupe's judgment is the actors on the screen who "I come from the Beijing People's Art Theater!"

But now that he has been transferred to the Central Academy of Drama, he cannot be as free as he used to be. The call he just received was called by Xu Xiang, the dean of the Central Academy of Drama, asking him to go back tomorrow to participate in the enrollment promotion.

It was ridiculously well-informed. He had just had time to call Xu Xiang.

As for coincidences, how can there be so many coincidences in the world?!

About half noon, when Du Qifeng came back, Xu Rong knocked on his door.

As soon as he entered the door, he took the lead and asked: "Director, what do you say from the Meteorological Bureau?"

When it snows does not only affect how he asks for leave. If it snows tomorrow, the crew will be able to start shooting the outdoor scene immediately. If it delays for another ten days and half a month, the crew's shooting plan will also have to be completely modified.

"At the latest week, there will inevitably be heavy snow." Du Qifeng said very optimistically.

Xu Rong had heard of similar words a week ago. As for whether it could snow, he was completely unsure.

"Sit down and say."

Xu Rong sat on the side of Du Qifeng, instead of sitting opposite Du Qifeng as usual, and asked, "Actors in the crew are almost gone, right?"

"Yes." Du Qifeng was stunned when he saw him leaning against the armrest of the sofa, and got up and poured him a glass of steaming water. "This is nothing to do. Everyone is busy in the hotel. It is not easy for Hong Kong actors to go back and forth, but many people are only an hour or two away from home."

"Thank you." Xu Rong smiled and took the water cup. He had been studying physical expression. For example, if you want to create a different feeling for people through the seating position, such as negotiation, then sit opposite the person being talked about at a table, forming a psychological contradiction. However, if the purpose is to ease the relationship, sitting opposite is an extremely failed physical behavior.

Du Qifeng did not notice the subtle differences and said, "In fact, it is normal to do other things when not filming. Not to mention actors, we often film and the script cannot be continued. So we just finish work and shoot another drama."

Xu Rong has heard of this. Many directors in Hong Kong write a little bit of filming, so some directors are very unaccustomed to the habit of making shooting plans based on different scenes rather than the development of the plot.

"Haha, Director Du will get used to it later."

Du Qifeng smiled and said, "Yes, you have to get used to it. For example, when Sun Honglei and the others don't have a chance, I don't like this, but this is the case here in the mainland. It's not okay if you don't get used to it, right?"

Xu Rong looked at Du Qifeng with a wonderful expression. Today, he finally knew why Du Qifeng and Sun Honglei were tired of each other.

The relationship between men and women is relatively more direct. Even if two women work together, they don’t deal with each other, but if they go to eat or go shopping, they won’t delay holding hands like good sisters. However, men are relatively direct. If they don’t deal with each other, there will be no communication at all except work.

This is true for Du Qifeng and Sun Honglei. On the set, nothing happened between them. They would not deliberately avoid the communication work, but after leaving the set, there was almost no intersection.

Du Qifeng understood that he was bald and did not defend himself, but continued: "As an actor, he is still a main actor. You can't say that there is no drama without you, it has nothing to do with you. How does the screenwriter design the plot, what requirements did the director put forward for the plot, and how does the actor who has a rival scene with him act? These are all things that the actors should care about. If you don't understand these, how can you act well?"

After pausing, Du Qifeng looked directly at Xu Rong and said aggrievedly: "Some media say that Hong Kong directors now like to use Hong Kong actors, not because we like to use them, but because we have to use them."

Xu Rong couldn't argue with this because Du Qifeng was talking about the facts. Not to mention Sun Honglei, he would lie in the car for a while when he had no chance.

Although this habit seems undedicated to Du Qifeng, in the mainland, such behavior is already hardworking enough in the eyes of some artist fans, because everyone in their family has personally participated in the filming. What else do you want? It is even natural to think that it should be the gospel of the people of the world, just like witnessing the birth, life, mission, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. You should feel honored and even cry out.

Xu Rong often introduces to the Hong Kong people in the group how the mainland film and television industry is thriving, but he will not avoid the problems and bad habits that have arisen in the development of the industry. Moreover, these problems are not covered and beautified. The more they are covered, the more they beautify, the less the situation is not improved, and ultimately they will only destroy the industry on which he depends for his survival.

The overall situation changes require the joint efforts of most people, rather than the shouting of one person at the top of his lungs, which will only become a knight who fights desperately with the windmill.

As a last resort, he had to change the subject and asked, "I heard that Director Du has also come to the mainland to shoot movies before?"

Du Qifeng nodded and said with a sigh: "Yes, the first time I came to film a movie was in 1978. I filmed "The Deadly Gold of the Blue Water and Cold Mountains" in the mountainous area of ​​northern Guangdong. Because of this, I haven't been to Taiwan for a long time."

Seeing Xu Rong showing a puzzled expression, Du Qifeng explained with a smile: "The situation was special at that time. The relevant departments in Taiwan had regulations that if Hong Kong filmmakers come to the mainland to make movies, they are not allowed to go to Taiwan because they think you are 'communist', but that movie is not very good."

"At that time, life in the mainland was particularly difficult, with insufficient resources, and fewer people understood movies. But in fact, at that time, at least in northern Guangdong, the people there were very kind and very obedient. When we went to make movies, they were also very happy, and officials were very honest. If you need anything, you should communicate with others, try to help them. Those who can't help will be told directly that you can't do it."

"Actually, I have come to mainland China to film more than that time. Later, "The Birthday of the Immortal Man" and "The Heavenly Love 3: Beauty Beauty" were all filmed in mainland China, probably in 1994 and 1997, respectively, in Shanghai and Changchun. However, those two experiences were completely different from those in 1978. Many problems during the shooting process were man-made problems. For example, you can use a scenic spot in name, but in fact you can't use the layers of procedures. If it is related, those procedures can be completely saved. In addition, the industry is very problematic. For example, if you find extras, they can come to 300 people, but in the end he can raise 100 people for you. The economy has indeed developed, but people's hearts have become particularly strange. You are always careful when dealing with people, otherwise you don't know whether he will cheat you."

"After going to Changchun to film "The Heavenly Love 3: Beauty Beauty", I decided not to come from the mainland. This interval is more than ten years. I really hate not being serious about doing things. The current mainland film industry is the same. Good filmmakers are very good, just like you. I can't believe that in such a bad environment, you can maintain so many excellent habits and how much perseverance it takes." At the end, "Actually, I also know that a good person like Sun Honglei is actually considered good, but a bad person is too bad."

Xu Rong also sighed. He didn't feel that people's hearts have changed too much. There are so many people in China, with good people, there must be bad people, otherwise the meaning of the existence of the law will inevitably be greatly weakened.

Seeing Xu Rong silent, Du Qifeng suddenly approached a little and asked in a low voice: "Teacher Xu, I heard that you know some people who are wise?"

Du Qifeng kept turning a blind eye to Huang Yi’s raising a ghost. When he was eighteen or nineteen years old, he was not superstitious at all, and firmly believed that happiness was achieved through hard work.

Later, when he reached middle age, he gradually began to believe it. Although he had never seen one with his own eyes, he heard too many rumors. Secondly, he gradually discovered that many things were beyond his ability.

Since he was fifty, he gradually maintained awe and worship of the illusory sayings of ghosts and gods. Whether in public or alone, he never dared not deny his existence, nor did he dare to slander him.

Therefore, he actually maintained a certain degree of awe of "experts" like Xu Rong.

Xu Rong looked at Du Qifeng's meaningful eyes, understood what was going on, and asked, "Didn't Lao Liu say that he had seen it before the start of the film?"

"It's not a solution if it doesn't snow?"

Xu Rong wanted to roll his eyes. The Qing Dynasty had been dead for a whole hundred years. Why did there be anyone who didn’t ask science and ghosts?!

He laughed dryly and said, "I really haven't seen this. I've seen it, but it's pure nonsense to say that I know it."

Most Hong Kong people are superstitious, and Du Qifeng is also unavoidable. He guessed that Du Qifeng probably wanted him to open the stage.

He suddenly remembered an interesting rumor and asked, "Didn't Teacher Li Lianjie often take on such jobs? Why would you invite him?"

The expression on Du Qifeng's face froze and he smiled awkwardly, Li Lianjie can make a hammer!

After a burst of laughter, Xu Rong said: "Director, that's right, I'll take a leave for two days."

Du Qifeng nodded and said, "No problem. If it snows, you must come back in advance. It is more important for us to hurry up."

"Don't worry, it's only a while before the capital city."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

After asking for leave, Xu Rong immediately rushed back to the capital without stopping. In the car, he looked at the script written by the school received in the email address and shook his head.

The form of enrollment publicity is to cooperate with Sina to conduct live broadcasts across the Internet. The reason why it is done in this form is that Xu Xiang wants to replicate the sensational effect that his speech on the opening ceremony caused on the Internet.

But Xu Rong was not optimistic about this. That was essentially a high probability event. Firstly, as the most popular male actor in the mainland, he had hardly participated in any variety shows, followed by the manuscript that he polished for several days.

This time the school wrote the manuscript and quoted allusions and classics in more than 30 places throughout the article. What he needed to do was stand on the podium as a teacher and read the manuscript.

But it's too uncreative. A second-rate tabloid newspaper can write better if you want to just pick up an editor.

Furthermore, he is the department head. Although he cannot decide what the promotional video should look like, he can at least put forward his own opinions and suggestions.

The next day, the auditorium.

Xu Rong was wearing a suit and wearing a pair of silver-framed glasses on his nose yesterday afternoon. He walked slowly to the front, stood on the side of the podium, looked at the tender little faces in the auditorium and three cameras from three angles, and slowly said with the microphone: "Good morning, classmates, today is my first class for you. First of all, I would like to say sorry to you here."
