"The Condor" has received much greater attention than "The Best in the World".
Zhang Yuanjun really stepped onto the big stage of the entertainment industry because of Yang Guo's casting.
Not to mention his excellent costume appearance, and Liu Yifei formed an almost perfect "Condor Heroes".
For a time, the clamor for Zhang Yuanjun to star in Yang Guo was unprecedentedly high. Zhang Yuanjun, a newcomer to film and television who had not had any works broadcast, actually attracted a large number of fans.
Naturally, the crew of "The Condor", which is good at hype, did not let go of Zhang Yuanjun's popularity.
Previously, the crew would "timely" deny whether it was Huang Xiaoming, Nie Yuan, or other candidates for Yang Guo.
"The candidate has not been decided yet, XX is still the favorite."
"Still considering."
"Still auditioning other actors."
But when it came to Zhang Yuanjun, the crew uncharacteristically did not directly deny the news that he was starring in Yang Guo.
Yu Min responded to the reporter's inquiry with an almost tacit attitude: "He is the best Yang Guo we have auditioned so far."
Neither Zhang Jizhong nor other producers denied Yu Min's statement, which almost concluded Zhang Yuanjun's role as Yang Guo.
After more than two months of casting Yang Guo, it seems that it has ended with Zhang Yuanjun.
However, people who are familiar with Zhang Jizhong are still not convinced. There are still a few days before the casting announcement time that the crew has previously said. According to Beard's usual style, he will only delay the announcement to whet the appetite of the outside world, and will never let the media in advance. Guess the candidate.
Therefore, the circle generally believes that the suspense continues.
Moreover, how could a TV series with such a big deal, where the choice of the protagonist is the result of a game between all parties, be handed over to a newcomer so easily.
This is also the view of Nie Yuan and Huang Xiaoming.
They did not think that Zhang Jizhong and the investors behind him would hand over Yang Guo to a newcomer with no works.
Zhang Jizhong took the opportunity to speculate, probably raising the price!
Whose price do you remember?
Nie and Huang felt that Zhang Jizhong was asking for a price from them.
The meaning is obvious. The time for the character's announcement is getting closer and closer. Why don't you express your gratitude quickly?
Nie and Huang felt that they understood what Zhang Jizhong meant, so they sent their trusted representatives to discuss with Zhang Jizhong, and both expressed their "condolences."
Zhang Jizhong accepted the order and made it clear to those who came: "No one knows who Yang Guo's selection will be until the last day. The crew and investors are still very controversial about Yang Guo's selection."
It was a reassurance for Nie and Huang.
Of course, before leaving, the representatives of Nie and Huang told Zhang Jizhong that if they were elected as Yang Guo, they would be greatly rewarded.
Zhang Jizhong smiled and said nothing.
After getting benefits, you have to do things. Therefore, Zhang Jizhong responded to reporters the next day: "We are still considering the candidate of Yang Guo internally. In fact, you take my power too much. For such an important role, I have no say, even though I am the chief producer. People, but you also have to consider the wishes of investors and the audience. After all, this is a big drama, and no one can bear the responsibility for bad actors."
As soon as Zhang Jizhong spoke out, he basically denied the news that Zhang Yuanjun was elected to Yang Guo.
But Zhang Yuanjun is still listed as a popular candidate on the theme page of the "Condor" report. He also appeared in the audition of Little Dragon Girl later as Yang Guo opposite Liu Yifei, Sun Feifei and other Little Dragon Girl.
After the Chinese Valentine's Day, it's summer, but the weather is still hot.
Also on this day, the crew of "The Condor" completed the "final round" of auditions for Xiao Longnu.
There is still no news about who will play the role of Little Dragon Girl, and even Sun Feifei's voice is higher than Liu Yifei's.
The new semester is about to begin, and some of the junior students from Grade 04 have already arrived at school.
Unfortunately, Zhang Yuanjun is very angry with the students in the 04 form. It seems that few students in this class will be popular in the future.
The entertainment industry is so cruel. If you pass the art exam and enter the academy and study hard for 4 years, you may not be able to get a role after graduation, and if you get a role, you may not be popular.
However, in the directing class, Zhang Yuanjun saw a few familiar faces, including Tian Li from the undergraduate class, the director of "River God", and Lu Yang from the master's class, the director of "Xiu Chun Knife", as well as several people who will work in film and television in the future. There are good working faces on other tracks in the lap.
It seems that the directing department of film schools is more popular than the acting department.
Perhaps because the actors are in front of the stage and in the spotlight, they are more representative of the achievements of their respective schools.
If you think about it this way, the acting department of the film school is indeed not as good as the drama school next door.
Whether it is in terms of on-campus teaching or student performance after graduation, students in the Acting Department of the School of Drama are on average much better than those in the Acting Department of the Film School.
However, when it comes to behind-the-scenes majors, such as art, photography, stage design, literature, etc., the Film School is undisputedly number one in the country, and is significantly ahead of other schools.
Especially the directing major, which is the trump card major of the film school. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is the best in Asia. People often say that the acting department is difficult to get into, and students can only be selected from a hundred. So the director department of the college recruits only one from a thousand. The directing department would rather not recruit enough places every year than let some people in.
Moreover, directing students have special privileges. Almost all of them can receive sponsorship from the college or Qingying Film Studio for filming, mostly short films, but also feature films upon graduation.
It's everyone!
It is extremely difficult for students from other majors to get sponsorship from the school when they graduate, with a maximum of two or three in a class.
Liu Yifei's 17th birthday party was originally going to be held in a villa in Shunyi, but Liu Xiaoli disagreed.
Speaking of her daughter, she invited a few friends from school, who are usually very close friends, but when she went to the Shunyi villa to hold an event, others would think she was showing off, which would have a bad influence.
Originally I didn't plan to make it big, just treat my daughter's friends to a meal at Chaoyang's house and have a cake together.
Zhang Yuanjun and others set out in the afternoon, bringing the gifts they had prepared.
"What did you give me?" Luo Jin saw that Zhang Yuanjun only had a small box as big as a palm in his hand.
"Just take your guess." Zhang Yuanjun didn't want to say anything.
Not long after, a group of people arrived first.
Liu Yifei welcomed a few people in. Shu Chang and Jiang Yiyan were already sitting on the sofa eating snacks.
"It's early for you."
"Xiao Shu took leave from the set yesterday and came back this morning." Liu Yifei said.
It was Luo Jin who spoke first: "Here, this is my gift. I wish our birthday boy a happy birthday."
"Thank you." Liu Yifei smiled and took the gift box.
Zhu Yawen also sent gifts and blessings, and Liu Yifei accepted them happily.
When they arrived at Zhang Yuanjun's place, before he could say anything, Liu Yifei said first: "It's enough as long as the ceremony is here, why are you still here?"
Girl, are you playing this trick with me?
Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said, "Shall I go then?" He walked out.
Luo Jin immediately pulled him over and smiled in harmony: "Hey, hey, hey, he's here. Let's finish the meal before leaving. Don't leave, don't leave."
Liu Xiaoli came out at this time and said with a smile: "What's wrong?"
Zhu Yawen said: "It's okay, Auntie, just kidding."
Luo Jin finally "persuaded" Zhang Yuanjun.
"Where's my gift?"
"No more." Zhang Yuanjun curled his lips, "You don't want me to come, so why should I give you a gift?"
"If I didn't let you come, wouldn't you be sitting at my house now? Come on, give me the gift."
Liu Xiaoli slapped her daughter: "How can anyone take the initiative to ask for courtesy?"
"No, it's only once a year." Liu Yifei's birthday is today, she is the oldest.
Zhang Yuanjun presented his gift box: "It's not a rare thing, but it's more or less a thought."
Liu Yifei maintained basic courtesy and did not open the gift on the spot. Instead, she happily took Zhang Yuanjun's small gift box and put it back in her room.
All the friends stayed at Liu Yifei's house all afternoon, watching TV and playing cards together, and they had a lot of fun.
When the cake was put on the table in the evening, before the candles were put in, Liu Yifei received a call. Looking at the caller ID, Liu Yifei whispered to her mother: "My dad."
"Take it."
Liu Yifei picked up the phone and didn't know what the other person said. Liu Yifei only responded:
"Yeah, um, invite your classmates to have dinner with you at home, um, I know, okay, thank you dad."
Then he hung up the phone.
It seems that Liu Yifei's relationship with her father is quite average.
While eating the cake, Shu Chang got very playful and dipped her finger in cream and smeared it on Liu Yifei's face.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Ah! Don't run away." Shu Chang wiped Liu Yifei's face, and Liu Yifei planned to directly cover Shu Chang's face!
Everyone watched the two chasing each other and did not stop them.
When Liu Yifei saw that she couldn't catch up with Shu Chang, she grew evil and simply breathed all the cakes on the plate into the face of Zhang Yuanjun, who was nearest to her.
Everyone in Zhang Yuanjun was dumbfounded.
"I provoked you."
"Whoever you call closest to me will be wiped if you don't."
"You're right." Zhang Yuanjun was no longer polite, "Luo Jin, Yawen, hold her down. If I don't wipe your face today, I will take your surname."
"Ah - hahaha -" Liu Yifei smiled and ran away.
The room was full of joy, and Miss Liu Yifei spent her 17th birthday.
