1980 My literary era

Lin Weimin called Renyi, and Han Zhuangzhuang came quickly.

As he entered the door, he shouted: "Uncle, why didn't you tell me when you came back?"

Zhang Yimou looked at Han Zhuangzhuang who walked into the yard, his eyes sparkling. The more he looked at it, the more he liked him, and the more he looked at him, the more excited he became, making Han Zhuangzhuang hairy all over.

Zhang Yimou and Han Zhuangzhuang were both students of Yan Ying and had seen him in school. But I haven’t seen Han Zhuangzhuang for several years. When he and Mo Yan and other crew members were discussing the male lead, he made his request known.

Mo Yan said at the time: "Teacher Lin's nephew fits this character very well!"

The image of Han Zhuangzhuang flashed in Zhang Yimou's mind, and it was indeed quite suitable.

Later, when several people were going to Beijing to choose roles, they called Yan Ying and China Theater Company in advance to communicate. China Theater Company recommended Jiang Wen, but as soon as he heard that it would take several months for him to join the cast, Zhang Yimou immediately eliminated him in his mind. this option.

After getting off the train, we went straight to Lin Weimin.

Now seeing Han Zhuangzhuang in person, the more he looked at it, the more suitable it seemed to him, and he couldn't help showing a happy expression.

Han Zhuangzhuang deliberately avoided Zhang Yimou, came to Lin Weimin, and whispered: "Uncle, I haven't seen this guy for a few years, why does he look so wretched?"

Mo Yan's eyes flashed on the side, and he dared to speak ill of the director to his face. This actor has a lot of personality!

"Shut up!"

This is your great luck.

"Director Zhang is going to make a movie, and he plans to let you play the leading role. I asked you to come over today and try out the role."

Han Zhuangzhuang looked at Mo Yan. Lin Weimin had a party before going to the United States and talked about Mo Yan's novel being adapted into a movie.

"Mo Yan, isn't it your movie?"

Mo Yanka nodded with her small green bean-sized eyes.

Han Zhuangzhuang has acted in sketches, TV series, and plays, but he has never acted in a movie. When Mo Yan said it was his movie, he became interested.

"What kind of trial trick?" he asked directly.

Zhang Yimou patted the sofa in the living room, "Come on, take off your clothes first!"

? ? ?

Did I meet a pervert?

Resisting the urge to punch Zhang Yimou, Han Zhuangzhuang looked at Lin Weimin.

Just as he was about to speak, Lin Weimin urged: "What do you want me to do? Take off your clothes!"

"I……"

Han Zhuangzhuang felt as if he had entered a wolf's den.

But even though his uncle had spoken, he didn't dare to resist and took off his shirt honestly.

Zhang Yimou carefully examined the muscles of his upper body, unable to conceal the salivation in his eyes. Han Zhuangzhuang couldn't help but cover the key parts with his hands.

Lin Weimin said impatiently: "What are you blocking? Who doesn't?"

Han Zhuangzhuang reluctantly put down his hand.

In addition to Mo Yan, three other big men surrounded Han Zhuangzhuang, and the scene was extremely brutal.

After looking at each other for a long time, Zhang Yimou and the others were finally satisfied.

Han Zhuangzhuang put on his shirt and felt that he was almost dirty.

He has never made a movie or tried acting before. Today he was shocked and it was an eye-opener.

It turns out that this is what a movie audition looks like!

"That's it! It's just you!"

Zhang Yimou feels that the film could not have been made without the help of Lin Weimin. Han Zhuangzhuang is very suitable for the role of "Yu Zhan'ao". He must be the leading actor!

Han Zhuangzhuang was stunned for a moment, "No need to try the show again?"

"No! Zhuangzhuang, you are a talented actor. You will have no problem starring in our movie!"

Han Zhuangzhuang smiled brightly when Zhang Yimou praised him, and quickly drew the relationship between the two of them closer.

After confirming the male lead, Zhang Yimou and others were very happy. They had a meal at Lin Weimin's house at noon and invited him: "Teacher Lin, we are going to go to the Chinese drama to select the female lead this afternoon. If you are free, help us go and see what's going on." ?"

Lin Weimin had nothing to do today, so he agreed.

Zhang Yimou and others came to Lin Weimin's house by bus, and Lin Weimin drove to the Central Theater Company. Han Zhuangzhuang also wanted to join in the fun, but Lin Weimin disliked him and left him behind.

"I don't know what my body shape is!" Lin Weimin said in disgust.

Han Zhuangzhuang stood there looking at Crown's retreating figure, feeling depressed.

When I get rich, I will definitely get a Crown!

When the crew goes to Yanjing to find actors, there are generally only two ways to do it, either through recommendations from friends, or by going to the acting department of an art school to find them yourself.

In Yanjing, there are two universities that are closely related to the film industry, China National Theater and Yanjing University.

When we arrived at the Chinese Opera located in Mianhua Hutong, DC, everyone was familiar with each other. Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei were both graduates of Yanying, and they often hung out at the Chinese Opera when they were in school.

In 1986, the performance department of the Chinese Opera Department was in full swing, especially the wave of fresh and beautiful flowers that entered the school last year, making all the male students of the Chinese Theater Company salivate.

Some good people gave these girls the nickname "Five Golden Flowers".

The five golden flowers represent the five girls from the 85-level acting class of China National Drama Theatre, Shi Ke, Gong Li, Wu Yujuan, Jin Lili and Chen Wei.

The most beautiful one among them is undoubtedly Shi Ke.

In 1981, the Italian film "Cassandra Bridge" was released in China and left a deep impression on countless Chinese people.

Especially Sophia Loren, the stunningly beautiful protagonist in the movie, became the dream lover of countless young men at that time.

Shi Ke's appearance is gorgeous and majestic, she looks like Sophia Loren, and she is younger and sexier than Sophia Loren. Not only the boys in the drama, but also many boys from other universities in Yanjing come to admire this goddess's style. She is A veritable school beauty in Chinese opera.

As for Gong Huang, who would kill everyone in later generations, although he was also among the "Five Golden Flowers" at this time, compared with the sexy and touching Shi Ke, he was just a sweet girl at most, barely a class beauty.

Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei almost shed tears when they saw Shi Ke's photo. When they saw the real person, their eyes widened.

"Otherwise, just book her!" Gu Changwei suggested.

Zhang Yimou hesitated a little and asked Lin Weimin: "Teacher Lin, what do you think?"

"Do you want to choose Shi Ke?" Lin Weimin asked him.

Zhang Yimou felt a little embarrassed by his look, "Shi Ke is quite suitable for the role of 'Jiu'er'."

Lin Weimin said bluntly: "She looks so European, how does she fit the role of 'Jiu'er'?"

Just like a cheating student caught by his teacher, Zhang Yimou's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and Gu Changwei also closed his mouth.

"teacher LIN……"

Zhang Yimou was about to speak when he was interrupted by Lin Weimin, "What is the background of "Red Sorghum"? Why did you get me such a fashionable heroine during the Anti-Japanese War?"

Zhang Yimou went into emo mode and secretly glared at Gu Changwei, the culprit. The other person looked at the sky, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with him.

"What do you mean, Teacher Yilin..." Mo Yan was very discerning and found a place for Zhang Yimou to step down.

Lin Weimin picked out a picture of a sweet girl from a bunch of photos and said, "She'll be the one. Miss Ludong, with a simple temperament and good makeup, should fit the image of 'Jiu'er'."

Zhang Yimou glanced at the photo Lin Weimin picked out. In fact, he was hesitating between this girl and Shi Ke just now, but was interrupted by Gu Changwei, and he chose Shi Ke by accident.

"Gong Li is really suitable for the role of 'Jiu'er'!"

Zhang Yimou glanced at Gu Changwei with disdain, "You asked me to choose Shi Ke just now?"

Lin Weimin's opinion played a decisive role in Zhang Yimou's decision to use Gong Li as the heroine.

The young version of Gong Li did not have as strong aura as later generations, and she looked pure. After chatting for a long time, Zhang Yimou told her that she had been selected to be the heroine, and she was still confused.

"Am I the heroine?"

The crew of "Red Sorghum" contacted China National Theater in advance. It was summer vacation, and the school deliberately retained several students from their acting class who were qualified for leading roles.

The teacher asked Gong Li to stay in school and leave a few days later, which made her quite happy.

The school is on holiday, so I don’t have to go home, so I can spend a few days in Yanjing.

With such a salty mentality, Gong Li never expected that she would be selected as the heroine of "Red Sorghum".

The male and female protagonists of "Red Sorghum" have been confirmed, and Lin Weimin's mission has been completed.

In the evening of that day, Han Zhuangzhuang and his daughter-in-law Yin Geli came to Lin Weimin's house to have dinner.

Dayang Niu was very excited when she heard that her husband was going to star in a movie. She said that when the movie is finished, she must let her relatives and friends back home watch it.

It has been a year since I got married in China, and the foreign girl is more and more following the local customs. So this can be regarded as a disguised return to her hometown, right?

Han Zhuangzhuang told Lin Weimin while eating that "Ming Dynasty 1566: Jiajing and Hai Rui" will premiere in the middle of this month, in just a few days.

"How's the queue going?"

"Anyway, my colleagues in the hospital said that the format of this play is very novel, and the reviews from the audiences who have watched it are very good."

Lin Weimin nodded, "I'll have a look later when I have time."

After dinner, Tong Zhonggui rode his bicycle to tell Lin Weimin that Niu Han had gone to the Literary and Art Association to help.

Early the next morning, Lin Weimin returned to work at the Chinese Literature Society.

When I came to the editorial office, my colleagues talked about the scene when Comrade Lao Niu came to make trouble that day. They were really cruel.

"Old comrades are not enlightened and have no screwdriver spirit at all. How can this be done!"

Editor Lin severely criticized Comrade Lao Niu for this behavior.

Everyone scoffed, if you have the ability, don’t run away that day!

Near noon, someone from the front building asked Lin Weimin to answer the phone, saying that someone from Xiangjiang was calling.

Lin Weimin ran to Cheng Wuchun's office and answered the phone. It was Fang Yihua from TVB. She first praised Lin Weimin on the phone.

Before 1992, TVB did not use the "indexing" statistical method of later generations to calculate ratings. Instead, following the tradition of this era, it commissioned a market research company to call sample subjects and ask them questions based on statistical principles. Survey respondents watch whether they watch a certain TV program, and from this, we can infer the number of viewers and the ratings of the TV series or program.

Now "The Legend of a Female Doctor" has been broadcast on TVB for more than 20 days, and the plot has entered the second half.

As of yesterday, the TV series reached episode 46, and the average ratings reached an astonishing 64%.

Before "The Legend of the Female Doctor", TVB's historical ratings record was set by the 1983 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", with a ratings of 62% and a ratings myth of 3 million people watching.

Now, "The Legend of a Female Doctor" is more than ten episodes away from its finale, and the ratings are more likely to continue to rise. It is destined to create a ratings record for TVB, and it will also be a record in the history of Hong Kong TV.

The boss Shao Yifu was naturally elated and specially assigned Fang Yihua to call Lin Weimin.

There are only two updates today, take a day off.
