If it had been three years ago, Huang Bo would not have signed up for art school, nor would he have had the thought.
Not to mention his appearance, he is 26 years old and already in his prime. He sings in bars and works part-time as a dance instructor, earning more than 10,000 yuan a month.
But because of his good brother's reputation, he played the second male lead in a movie called "Guan Fu", "Get in the Car and Let's Go". This attempt made him fall in love with acting.
However, the staff member's words deeply irritated him, "How can non-professional actors compare with professional actors? It's a joke!"
So, he came specifically to take the exam to a school that trains professional actors.
"Hey, buddy, have you signed up for Nortel?"
"I signed up for the Chinese Opera." Lu Fei shook his head. Art candidates usually bet on both ends. Nortel also took the exam, and the Chinese Opera also took the exam.
Huang Bo looked up and down, "So confident? That's right, given your condition and being so handsome..."
"Then you're dead wrong."
Lu Fei threw the butt of his cigarette on the ground, raised his leg and crushed it out, "The Chinese Opera produces actors, and Nortel produces stars. I pushed my whole body towards Nortel. Do you believe that I can get into radio gymnastics? But not the Chinese Opera." Likewise, recruiting people is not all about appearance.”
"Really?" Huang Bo's eyes shone, and what he feared most was that he could not judge people by their appearance.
Lu Fei unscrewed the thermos cup, nodded, and drank Pang Dahai.
Recruiting candidates for Chinese opera mainly depends on teachers and examiners. They often consider which graduation drama they will perform in four years' time, and then use the crew's casting standards to select candidates, such as "Teahouse", which is Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo, The five major ugly professions are indispensable. Those with ugly looks like He Bin and Ni Dahong will have a chance to be admitted to the Chinese Opera.
"According to what you say, I really have a chance!" Huang Bo raised his head, excited.
"At least it's better than Nortel."
Lu Fei thought about it carefully, and in his mind, Huang Bo took the Nortel exam for two years, but failed because of his appearance. Later, he changed his application to the dubbing department that did not depend on appearance, and finally got his wish. This time, he might have a chance to become an alumnus.
"Enter, entered!"
Someone in the crowd shouted, and in an instant, four long queues formed, with people filing in.
Lu Fei waved to Qinhai Road and walked slowly in. He didn't have the mentality of an examinee at all, just like a tourist wandering around.
Passing by the small and pitiful playground, to the south is a row of antique-style bungalows. That is the vocal music room, with a row of eaves in front of the house.
Under the veranda, in the open space outside, and even on the playground, there are students practicing their lines.
"I see, the Qing Dynasty is about to end!"
"This is the brave petrel, on the roaring sea, in the middle of the lightning... This is the victorious prophet shouting, let the storm come more violently!"
"The cold wind blows in the cold weather, and six or nine heads are beaten every spring. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there is a dragon lantern festival, and a pair of lions roll embroidered balls..."
Some were singing, some were telling tongue twisters, some were reciting poems, and some were acting as tea guests in "Teahouse".
But no matter how serious people look at this, they didn't go far when they met several young and beautiful girls. Their winter clothes couldn't hide their beauty, and their long hair was flying.
One of them, wearing a volunteer's red hoop on his right shoulder, looked like Gao Yuanyuan. He took a closer look, yo, Yu Huanshui's wife?
"It's Lu Fei, right?" The woman stopped, "My name is Gao Lu, and Sister Hailu showed me your photo."
Lu Fei raised his eyebrows, is this all planned?
After giving the examination room number, Gao Lu took him to examination room 01.
It was a small classroom, not counting the bright and clean windows. There were ten chairs outside the door, which was not enough to sit in. A group of people were standing, including Zhang Yang, and pairs of eyes saw the two of them talking and laughing.
Really, you hooked up with your senior sister so quickly?
"Thanks."
Just as Lu Fei finished thanking him, suddenly, a dark figure appeared in front of him, blocking his sight. It was as dark as a second-rate man digging for food in the ground, looking young and full of mischief.
"Doesn't it look good? If you are admitted to the Chinese Theater Academy, you can pursue your senior sister."
Lu Fei saw the person's appearance clearly, and the person standing in front of him was actually Deng Chao, and replied: "No need, I have a girlfriend, she's not bad."
You are capable enough! Deng Chao raised his eyebrows, "How old are you?"
"The virtual age is 19."
"Then you have to call me Brother Deng or Brother Chao." Deng Chao leaned against the wall, very familiar with himself, "Or if you have a chance, call me senior. I'm also from the acting department."
The words came to this point, and he clearly hinted to the other party: hurry up and talk about it, and support me!
Lu Fei suppressed his laughter and nodded cooperatively: "I think I've heard of it."
Deng Chao grinned, "Hey, Brother Chao, I just finished filming a drama directed by Yu Xiangyuan. Does Yu know who he is? He is a national first-class director..."
Lu Fei figured it out. He thought he was playing the piano just now, but now he wants to come back.
After chatting for a long time, Deng Chao realized: "Um, what's your surname?"
Well, I haven’t even asked for my name after I’ve been mumbling for so long!
Lu Fei didn't get a ride, he just wanted to lean against the wall and be quiet, waiting for the call to take the exam, but this guy wanted to chat for another ten dollars, but luckily the bell rang.
"Ling ring ring~"
"Ahem, cough, cough, the exam begins."
Deng Chao immediately changed his face and no longer smiled playfully. He stood in the corridor and called out 10 exam numbers, one of which happened to be Lu Fei.
The men and women in the corridor looked around, watching the first group of suicide squads enter the house. The atmosphere suddenly changed, and there was a hint of anxiety in the silence.
As soon as he entered the door and took his seat, Lu Fei was last in line. He looked around curiously. There were tables and chairs piled up on both sides, and an open space was left in the middle. The remaining tables and chairs were occupied by three people, two women and one man.
According to Qin Hailu's information, the man is Xu Xiang, the future dean, the young woman wearing glasses is named Hao Rong, and the silver-haired old woman in the middle is naturally Chang Li, who has brought out countless stars.
The subjects of the initial test are very simple, self-introduction + 3-minute recitation, which tests appearance, voice, and lines.
"Hello teachers, my name is Zheng Xiaodong, from..."
The first one to appear was surprisingly free of stage fright. Although the following "Spring, Ten Haizi" was a little faster and a little nervous, it was much better than the last two, at least it didn't stumble.
The fourth one is a girl. Her appearance and appearance can be seen as having been practiced. She announced her family name openly.
Zhang Xinyi sounds familiar.
Lu Fei was thinking about where he had heard it before, and before he knew it, it was his turn. He walked calmly to the examiner, using the same process, but omitting the part about starting a business on the Internet.
I still want to get along with them as ordinary people!
Xu Xiang and Chang Li squinted their eyes and showed weird smiles.
Hao Rong reviewed his registration form, her eyes opened wider and wider, and finally adjusted her glasses, "Classmate Lu Fei, right? Have you ever filmed a movie?"
Lu Fei rolled his eyes, he didn't fill in his words. "Currently, I have only filmed one film, "17-Year-Old Bicycle"."
These words were like thunder, immediately exploding inside and outside the classroom. Each candidate showed expressions of astonishment, big or small, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
"Um?!"
Deng Chao, who was guarding the door, was so excited that he couldn't help but sneak his head in and listen.
What, making a movie before going to school?
It’s so “current”. How many more films do you want to make?
"Who is the director?"
Hao Rong will not think highly of Hao Rong just because he has acted in a movie. Even if he acted in a bad movie like "A Cat and a Dog", it would be just a fake role, which would lower his impression score.
This time, Lu Fei did not need to answer in person, Xu Xiang did it for him: "Wang Xiaoshuai."
Debut novel, sixth generation, still the first male?
Hao Rong changed his attitude and looked at Lu Fei seriously. Regardless of whether the movie was good or bad, at least the art form was appreciated by China Opera.
"Who is Wang Xiaoshuai?"
The candidates whispered, and most of them shook their heads, while Deng Chao's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide.
Although he also made his debut on the screen, in the eyes of China Drama, TV series can't be compared with movies, but the drama is different!
Where does this high school student come from? He is so arrogant!
Hao Rong cleared her throat and asked for silence, "Ahem, you are the text writer for "Don't Talk to Strangers". Has this drama ever been broadcast on a TV station?"
Lu Fei said: "The script is already in the finalization stage. Due to the confidentiality agreement, I can only say what I can say."
What, screenwriter? What about a confidentiality agreement?
Deng Chao ducked into the classroom with his whole head, and the arrogance just now was gone. When he looked at Lu Fei's profile, his eyes almost popped out of his head.
I have been a volunteer for 2 years and I have never seen such wild candidates!
Hao Rong wanted to continue to verify the credibility of the registration form, but Chang Li patted her hand, "Stop asking, pay attention to the time."
Xu Xiang nodded in agreement: "Don't mention the rest of his resume, but pay attention to the impact."
Right, pay attention to the impact!
Lu Fei all agreed. I still wanted to get along with my classmates as an ordinary person, but out of the corner of my eye I saw——
The other candidates in the classroom had confusion written all over their faces. Outside the window, the sound of discussion could be heard looming.
Some of these candidates have studied dancing or opera before, or they may have studied acting at a training institution, or even worked as a bit player in the crew, playing roles with no lines for a few scenes, but they never expected to jump. Come up with something like this.
Almost no one paid attention to Lu Fei's next recitation. They were more concerned about his identity, whether he was a star, a director, a rich man, or...
In fact, Lu Fei's recitation is not bad. He practiced it seriously for half a year and specially selected "Young China":
"Today's responsibility lies not with others, but with my youth. The wisdom of youth will make the country wise, and the wealth of youth will make the country rich. The strength of youth will make the country strong, and the independence of youth will make the country independent. The freedom of youth will make the country free, and the progress of youth will make the country progress...
If a young man is strong on the earth, his country will be strong on the earth. When the red sun rises, its path will shine brightly..."
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes met Chang Li and Xu Xiang's, and they showed strange smiles of satisfaction.
"You go back and wait for the results. We will replace the next batch of candidates."
"Thank you, teacher."
Lu Fei bowed politely, then walked out of the classroom and patted the dumbfounded Deng Chao, "Brother Chao, it's time to call the next group of people."
Deng Chao woke up from his dream and said, "Please...please..." He spoke intermittently, and his brain was still buzzing.
Lu Fei passed by the candidates, all of them had different thoughts. The men were full of fear, and the women were making secret glances. He could vaguely hear in his ears:
"There are so many billion points of handsomeness."
"Like Gu Tianrong."
"Bah, it looks like Jincheng Wu..."
Hey, don't ignore my efforts just because of my appearance!
Lu Fei shook his head and walked briskly, leaving them with a piece of the back of his head.
