"Director Guo, welcome!"
"You're too polite, Dean Chang. I also want to absorb some outstanding new blood, so I took the liberty to come to your college!"
Facing Dean Chang Yongqing, Guo Yingjie did not dare to neglect him. He was a master-level presence in the music circle.
The former nodded with a smile: "Director Guo, I am very supportive of you coming to our college to select actors. If you meet a suitable student, as long as he agrees personally, the college will not stop you."
"Thank you, Dean Chang. You also know what I am like. As long as you are selected, I will be responsible to the end!"
"Well, that's no problem. It's their chance to star in Director Guo's play."
After the two chatted for a while, they began to watch the students' performance quietly.
Chen Mo was being criticized at this time, and the person criticizing him was naturally his teacher Fan Guohua. The reason was very simple. He didn't even say hello when he arrived at the academy.
The little girl Shen Xingluo felt sorry for her father. She took Fan Guohua's hand and said, "Grandpa Fan, I wanted to see my father's alma mater, so he didn't contact you."
"Luoluo is coming to play. It's your father's fault if he doesn't contact me!"
At this point, Fan Guohua changed his face and said kindly: "After watching the performance later, we will go to dinner, and then Grandpa Fan will take Luoluo to visit the school, okay?"
"Okay! But don't we take dad with us?"
"If you don't take him with you, your dad has something to do, so we can go play by ourselves!"
Seeing the old man and the young boy talking happily, Chen Mo shook his head and began to observe the junior students on the stage.
Instead, he found a person who was a bit fat and had a funny personality, which was somewhat suitable for Zhu Bajie's role. Just as he was about to talk to Guo Yingjie, the latter turned around and said, "Mr. Chen, that classmate seems to be suitable for a role."
"Well, that's what I thought too. Let's ask after it's over?"
"Mr. Chen, you are now half a host here. You just have to make arrangements!"
The program was not particularly excellent, but it was very exciting, and two hours passed before I knew it.
At this time, the lights on the stage dimmed, and a beam of light shone on the figure. There was only one person, and there was no accompaniment team or anything.
"Hello everyone, I am Zhang Luofan, a junior in the vocal music department, and I will bring a unique imitation show to the junior students."
I originally thought it was a solo performance, but I didn't expect it to be a mimicry show. The freshmen were immediately interested.
I saw Zhang Luofan adjusting the headset, and suddenly a war horse neighed, and he also imitated the movement of a war horse raising its hooves.
Both the sounds and movements are quite lifelike.
The entire comprehensive music hall instantly burst into warm applause: He is indeed a talented student in the vocal music department, and he handles the sound so delicately!
Immediately afterwards, the wolf howls at the moon, the tiger emerges from the mountain, and the crane crows...
Each movement and each chirp vividly demonstrated the characteristics of various animals, and received the warmest applause from the welcome meeting.
At this time, Guo Yingjie was staring at Zhang Luofan with burning eyes, full of expectation.
And the latter did not disappoint him. He suddenly jumped up and down, looking like a humanoid monkey, and made sharp screams from time to time.
Guo Yingjie said to Chen Mo very excitedly: "Mr. Chen, this... this is the Monkey King!"
Indeed, although Zhang Luofan is not very tall, he is very handsome. If he puts on good makeup, he can be called the Monkey King.
"Director Yingjie, don't get too excited. Then ask him to dance with the stick and try to act out a plot."
"Okay, I'll have to trouble Mr. Chen to communicate with you later. Thank you very much!"
Chen Mo smiled and nodded in agreement.
He knew why the other party was so excited. The filming time for "Journey to the West" was already very tight. For this reason, Guo Yingjie split the unimportant scenes of the entire script into four parts and prepared to shoot them at the same time.
However, the actors of the protagonist team have not been determined, and no part can be started.
Now that he has really found a very suitable candidate, he is not willing to let him go. Otherwise, he would probably try his best to invite the person over.
"Thank you, thank you all for liking my performance, and welcome all juniors and juniors to join our big family at Yancheng Conservatory of Music. Seniors don't dare to brag. If juniors and juniors also want to learn how to imitate animal sounds in the future, If so, senior brother will definitely teach you everything you have!"
"Brother, you are the best!"
"Senior brother, do you have a girlfriend? I don't have a boyfriend!"
"..."
Amid everyone's warm cheers and applause, Zhang Luofan ended his performance.
Chang Yongqing then turned to look at Guo Yingjie: "Does Director Guo like this student?"
The latter nodded without hesitation: "To be honest with Dean Chang, this classmate Zhang Luofan not only has outstanding vocal talents, but also has great acting talent. He is very suitable for the protagonist of the TV series I am about to shoot!"
"main character?"
At this time, even Chang Yongqing, the well-informed principal, was surprised. He never expected that Guo Yingjie would be so courageous and want a complete newcomer to play the leading role.
Guo Yingjie nodded affirmatively again: "He is the protagonist, and he is the absolute protagonist, the protagonist who runs through the entire plot!"
Seeing the former's determined look, Chang Yongqing felt a little embarrassed now.
He also knew that Zhang Luofan, a student, was very good and would officially start his internship this year. He was a little worried that if he allowed this student to join the crew, would it have an impact on his major?
"Dean Chang, you are a senior, you can't keep your word!"
Sensing Chang Yongqing's hesitation, Guo Yingjie's heart was in her throat.
Seeing that the former did not respond, she quickly turned around and told Chen Mo about the matter, and her eyes stayed on Fan Guohua, who was sitting with Luoluo, for a while.
Chen Mo smiled in his heart: Director Guo has already set his sights on the teacher!
However, he did not refuse. Since he wanted to film "Journey to the West", it must be perfect, but the teacher does not necessarily need to be involved in this matter.
The next moment, he exchanged positions with Guo Yingjie.
"Dean Chang, I wonder if you still remember this useless student like me?"
"It's Chen Mo. Of course I remember you. You are Lao Fan's student and one of the best graduates of our college!" Ye Shengtao had already told him before, so Chang Yongqing naturally knew when he heard the greeting. Who is it?
Seeing the boy in front of him who was hesitant to speak, he didn't know what was going on.
So he smiled and patted Chen Mo on the shoulder: "You want your junior to star in the TV series you collaborated with Director Guo, right?"
"Yes, Dean Chang, this is not only an opportunity for the juniors, but also a different experience."
"Well, I know, but this junior of yours is quite good, comparable to you back then. I don't want him to lose his professional talents because of this!"
"And he was not born with a major in film and television. Although he is very suitable for the role in your TV series and may be very successful, what about the future? Can he continue on the path of being an actor? If not, wait until he picks up the career again. Will it still be the same as it is now when you are a professional?”
Chang Yongqing said for a long time that he was not unenlightened. After all, he was the number one scholar in 360 skills.
However, as the dean of a music school, he still hopes that his students will achieve great success in their majors, and he also hopes that his students can live a better life after leaving campus.
Chen Mo was silent for a while, then he made a decision in his heart: "In this way, Dean Chang, I am responsible for the future of this junior. Whether he wants to continue acting or sing again in the future, I will fully support him!"
"Well, in terms of acting, I believe you have the ability and resources. After all, you are now cooperating with great directors like Guo Yingjie. However, I don't know if you have lost your old profession. In terms of music, I am a little bit dissatisfied. Don’t worry!”
Chang Yongqing looked at Chen Mo with a smile on his face.
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, feeling something was wrong, but he still said: "Then what proof does Dean Chang need from me?"
"This shouldn't be difficult for you. The orientation party is about to end. Later, you can go up and compose an improvised song to sing. I will judge by the applause of your junior students whether you are good at music. I have the ability to support your junior fellow student!”
Hearing these words, Chen Mo immediately realized that he seemed to have jumped into a pit.
(To be continued!)
