Perfect Superstar

The predecessor of the Beijing Film and Television Academy was the Beijing Film Academy, which was established in 1946 and is exactly 60 years old this year.

It is the largest professional film and television school in China and Asia. It is jointly established by the Beijing Municipal Government, the State Administration of Press and Publication and the Ministry of Education. It is known as the "cradle of Chinese film talents" and enjoys a worldwide reputation.

Jingying has a total of 11 undergraduate majors, involving literature, directing, presentation, photography, recording, aesthetics, management, animation, and film theory and technology, covering all industries in film and television drama creation. There are more than 4,000 teachers and students in the school.

In the past 60 years, there have been countless film and television drama talents who have come out of Beijing Film and Television. Directors, actors, cameramen... Every school celebration, half of the stars of the entertainment industry will come to join us!

Of course, Jingying's management is very strict, not just anyone can go in and visit, even if you want to cast a role, you have to go through the official channel, in other words, you have to have a relationship.

Sister Li has a wide network of contacts, and it is not the first time for Jingying to come here. She has acquaintances with the management of the college, so she got permission without much effort.

Everyone in the circle knows that the students of Beijing Film Academy do not have to worry about "marrying", especially the acting department. The annual admission rate is ridiculously low, often hundreds of to one, and it can be said that it is truly one in a thousand, one in a thousand. !

Talents are rare, and there are naturally many entertainment agents and film and television companies who are staring at Jingying. However, Jingying's threshold is also very high. Even if a small company or a small unit has something to do with it, students in the acting department may not pay attention.

Of course, Lu Chen personally came forward to select candidates. I believe many people will be interested. In fact, the college also encourages students to enter the circle early, and what they learn in actual work is often better than academic theory.

The person in charge of receiving Lu Chen and the others was a teacher Chen from the Jingying Academic Affairs Office, who was still very young in his thirties.

He recognized Lu Chen at a glance, and he also knew Fang Hui.

Leading Lu Chen and others into the school gate, Teacher Chen asked with a smile: "Mr. Lu, are you planning to choose a role for a new drama? Speaking of which, your project should not be short of people, right? The previous one sold so well ..."

This Mr. Chen is a native of the capital, well-informed and talkative, and we got to know each other after a few chats.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Call me Lu Chen. I don't dare to be a teacher here. The main reason is that there are a few roles that haven't been suitable yet, so I want to come here to have a look."

After he announced his plan to shoot a new drama on his blog, many entertainment agencies came to him, and many people recommended him. Except for some roles that have been confirmed, there are still a few main roles that are vacant.

The investment in this new drama has doubled several times, and Lu Chen did it with an attitude of striving for perfection, so when it comes to character selection, he will not make up for it casually, nor will he lower his requirements just to sell favors.

Actors must conform to the image of the characters in the story. This is the most basic requirement. Nowadays, many domestic dramas, especially IP adaptations, often have such problems. The actors and roles do not match, and then the plot is changed indiscriminately, and the audience scolds them after filming half dead.

Lu Chen has already figured it out, if Jingying can't find a suitable one, then go to Beijing Opera and China Media.

If you can't find the ideal candidate, then just have an audition!

Teacher Chen said with a smile: "We have a lot of talents in Jingying, I promise not to let you down..."

He brought Lu Chen and the others to Jingying's performing arts auditorium.

There are two large and small auditoriums in Jingying. The large auditorium is used for meetings and cultural performances, while the small auditorium doubles as an acting classroom. Part of the acting classes of all classes in the acting department are taught here.

In the history of Beijing Film and Television, there are many directors who choose the students who are the favorite in the small auditorium, and then lead the latter to embark on a dazzling star journey.

When Lu Chen and others came over, there were four or five male and female students performing on the stage of the small auditorium, and there were thirty or forty people sitting in the auditorium that could accommodate one or two hundred people, including students and teachers.

Among them, a teacher sitting in the front row was still holding the microphone in his hand, apparently guiding on the spot.

"Let's sit here..."

Under the guidance of Teacher Chen, Lu Chen and the others sat down together in the third row from the right of the auditorium.

Teacher Chen introduced to Lu Chen: "This is a class from the Acting Department of the 15th grade."

Jingying’s performance department usually has one class at the first level, and each class only recruits about 30 to 40 people. The real elite among the elites, I don’t know how popular they are after graduation, and their starting point is naturally higher than other artists.

But having said that, there may be a lot of outstanding people after graduation, or they may all be lost, especially in the current entertainment industry. The competition is too fierce. It doesn't mean that you who graduated from the Beijing Film and Television Department will definitely become stars.

In fact, there are quite a few graduates from the Beijing Film and Television Acting Department who have changed careers.

With the foundation, subsequent efforts and luck are indispensable.

In this hall of art, Lu Chen, Fang Hui, and Sister Li did not dare to make noise, they came and sat lightly for fear of disturbing others in class, but their presence inevitably alarmed the teachers and students present.

Teacher Chen waved at the instructor in front of him, who nodded and didn't care.

However, many students were not so calm, because they/they recognized Lu Chen, surprised, curious, delighted... Whispering discussions spread in the small auditorium.

Lu Chen's attention was all on the stage.

There are five students, three men, two women, and they are performing fragments of a drama. If you only look at the appearance, the men are handsome and the women are beautiful, each with its own characteristics, basically there is nothing to be picky about.

Most of the handsome men and beautiful women in Jingying are recognized, not to mention the highest-quality acting department, the average appearance of other departments is also higher than that of ordinary schools, and they are all pleasing to the eye.

Lu Chen looked at each student carefully. The new drama he was going to film was an urban romantic light comedy, and it could also be classified as a youth idol drama. Naturally, he had high requirements for the appearance of the character actors.

And good looks are not enough, there must be distinctive features that can impress people or arouse goodwill.

Then there's acting.

Youth idol dramas have relatively low requirements for acting skills, so even a first-year student of Beijing Film Academy can be competent with a little polishing, anyway, it is not a starring role.

The discussion of the students and the serious attention of Lu Chen and others obviously put a lot of pressure on the young performers on the stage, and more mistakes followed.

They undoubtedly realized that an opportunity had come, but their experience was not enough to deal with such a situation skillfully, so the instructors present had to stand up and stop their performance.

Several students walked off the stage with dejected expressions.
