China Entertainment 1981: Starting from Journey to the West

There are a total of 78 people from all majors in Beijing Film Academy's 150-level program, including 32 people from the acting department. Wang Yue's presence among them has never been high.

His grades are not outstanding. When the school organizes activities, he usually follows the crowd and never takes the lead. Sometimes, the students even inadvertently forget that there is such a person in the class.

At this moment, when Gu Bei suddenly heard that he wanted Wang Yue to play the role of Tang Monk, not only Wang Yue but also everyone else was surprised.

"Wang Yue, why are you standing there stupidly? This is a good thing!"

Zhou Lijing was the first to react, walked up to Wang Yue, grabbed his arm, and shook him hard.

what?
Wang Yue finally came back to his senses, but he still looked at Gu Bei in disbelief.

Because compared with the classmates in the class, he is really too ordinary, not as good as Zhou Lijing, not as good as Zhang Fengyi, even Zhang Chulin always gets praise from the teacher.

But how...

"Xiao Gu, this...isn't this a joke?"

Gu Bei spread his hands and said with a smile: "I rode all the way from Dongcheng to Changping just to have fun with you? In addition to stage design, I came here today just for you. So, if you have time tomorrow, you Come to CCTV and you will know when you meet the director."

Gu Bei had already shown Wang Yue's photo to Yang Jie. Although it was a photo of their life when they were in school, since Yang Jie agreed to meet Wang Yue, the matter was settled.

After hearing what Gu Bei said, Wang Yue finally believed it.

"This... okay, okay, I... I will go tomorrow, but..."

Wang Yue was still a little worried. He had already been assigned. He was just waiting for the graduation drama to be over before going to report to his work unit. The assigned place was the same as Chen Kaige, the Beijing Children's Film Studio.

"You don't have to worry about your unit. If you can be selected, we will communicate with you at the station."

This matter is simple. As long as you are not a pillar, I think the other party will not have any problems.

The whole country is a game of chess!
The spirit of the instructions issued from above requires the remake of the Chinese classics. Since CCTV has taken on this responsibility, it is natural that a system unit will give its full support.

Wang Yue is just a newcomer who just graduated. Are the children's film studio still reluctant to part with him?

"Then it's fine."

Although Wang Yue has just changed his character, whether Wang Yue can win the role of Tang Monk still depends on director Yang Jie's wishes.

But after all, this was a good first step.

After the two of them finished speaking, other students gathered around and congratulated Wang Yue.

Although in most people's minds, movies are king and television is a sideshow, this is "Journey to the West" after all, and the opportunity is really rare.

"Wang Yue, if it really happens, you will have to treat us when the time comes."

"Yes, we have to treat you. If you can play the role of Tang Monk, you are the first one in our batch."

Wang Yue's personality was a bit shy. He was surrounded by so many classmates all of a sudden. He didn't know what to do for a while. He just blushed and kept laughing.

"Xiao Bei, is what you said accurate?"

Zhang Guoshi asked while shaving his teeth.

He ate so much of the roasted chicken just now that he even chewed the butt of the chicken.

"That's right! If Director Yang Jie you're talking about doesn't like Wang Yue..."

Tianzhuangzhuang also said, with a hint of worry on his expression.

"Don't worry, if I dare to say it in front of so many people, I will be confident. Otherwise, I will definitely find him privately."

"why?"

Gian Zhuangzhuang was puzzled, and so were everyone else.

Why did Gu Bei conclude that Wang Yue could play Tang Sanzang?

Ha ha!

Gu Bei smiled and pretended to be profound: "You haven't seen that Wang Yue has great compassion on his face."

Great Mercy?
Everyone looked at Wang Yue. His appearance could be considered handsome at best. Among the handsome men and beauties in the acting department, he was really not outstanding. When he smiled... he looked silly.

Where does the great mercy come from?

Bullshit!

But since Gu Bei had said so, they believed it for the time being, hoping that there would be a good result tomorrow.

No one would be jealous. They were all classmates in the same class. Before they stepped out of the ivory tower and experienced all the strange things in society, everyone's thoughts were still very simple.

"well."

Wang Yue was still feeling dizzy at the moment. The guys asked him to treat him as a joke, but he didn't even think about it and just accepted it.

Do you really dare to respond?

Gu Bei quickly stepped forward and rescued Tang Sanzang who was trapped in the Daughter's Kingdom.

"Okay, okay, brothers and sisters, we will wait until the role is officially finalized about the treat. Can I have a few words with Wang Yue alone?"

After hearing this, everyone immediately guessed that Gu Bei had inside information and wanted to reveal it to Wang Yue.I'm going to meet the director tomorrow. What is the director's like?What are the requirements for the role of Tang Seng?
Gu Bei is a member of the preparation team, so he must know something about it.

If Wang Yue could be more prepared, he would be more confident.

This is a serious matter, related to Wang Yue's future, so we can't be careless.

"Let's go, let's go. After a busy day, it's time to get hungry and tired. Let's go eat. Eat."

Tianzhuangzhuang greeted loudly, and soon only Gu Bei and Wang Yue were left in the auditorium.

"Xiao Gu, thank you very much."

Wang Yue knew that Gu Bei must have helped him get this opportunity to meet the director.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Whether you can get this role in the end depends on your performance tomorrow."

Ma Dehua almost missed Zhu Bajie because of his body shape. Who knows if something will go wrong again with Wang Yue.

Foresight and foresight are just knowledge and awareness. Now that he is a variable, will things develop according to their original trajectory?

Everything is unknown.

"I know, I know, Xiao Gu, look, there is nothing else you need to explain."

Gu Bei immediately told Wang Yue exactly what Director Yang Jie understood about Tang Monk and his requirements for actors.

"In short, the Tang Monk that the TV series wants to present is different from the one written in the original book. He cannot be an old monk with a calm appearance and a calm heart inside, nor can he be an old monk who only plays drums, chants sutras, and meditates all day long. , a great Zen master who always proclaims Amitabha with every opening of his mouth.”

"Director Yang Jie wants Tang Sanzang to be a flesh-and-blood person first, and secondly, Tang Sanzang, who is devoted to Buddha and compassionate."

Gu Bei said a lot, and he didn't know if Wang Yue could understand it. In order to add some extra points, he started to think of tricks again.

"Just like this, learn a move from me. Of course, you are a professional, so just do it according to your understanding."

After saying that, Gu Bei stood tall, lowered his head slightly, his eyes were downcast, and there was no wave on his face. One hand was lowered naturally, and the other hand was held horizontally in front of him, as if he was twisting rosary beads.

"The poor monk Tang Sanzang pays homage to His Majesty the King."

Wang Yue laughed when he saw it: "Are you meeting the king of the daughter country?"

Without even glancing upward, unless he was meeting the king of the daughter country, who else could make Tang Sanzang, an accomplished monk, so nervous.

"That's right. Who told Director Yang to be a woman? When you see Director Yang tomorrow, please do it to her for a while first."

The first impression is very important. If the director recognizes an actor at first sight, no one else will be able to catch her eye.

In his previous life, Gu Bei had seen a short story on the Internet. It said that Xiangjiang TVB was going to remake Jin Yong's martial arts novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". TVB selected Huang Rong and invited Mr. Jin Yong to participate in person.

A group of actresses are also like the Eight Immortals, each showing their own magical powers. Weng Meiling is not outstanding to begin with, but if one of them passes by Mr. Jin Yong one by one, she probably won't have anything to do with her.

So, Weng Meiling came up with a crooked idea. While Jin Yong was visiting accompanied by TVB executives, she turned over to Jin Yong and bowed deeply: The daughter of the owner of Peach Blossom Island, pay homage to the hero Jin.

Just like that, Jin Yong had no one else in his eyes and decided that Huang Rong must be Weng Meiling.

Gu Bei didn't know if the trick he taught Wang Yue would work, but it would at least deepen Yang Jie's impression of him.

"This... can it work?"

"Can I still hurt you?"

Wang Yue himself had no idea, so after hearing what Gu Bei said, he naturally couldn't say anything else.

"Xiao Gu, no matter whether this thing can be done or not, I will thank you."

Thanks?
Gu Bei smiled and said, "If you really want to thank me, just promise me something."

"You said."

Wang Yue blurted out without even thinking about whether he could really do what Gu Bei mentioned.

"You just need to promise me that in the future, no matter how difficult it is during the filming process, no matter how many temptations there are outside, you will stick to it and never have any external attachments."

Before Gu Bei came to see Wang Yue, he was worried because in his previous life, Wang Yue, as the first Tang Monk, only shot three episodes and gave up "Journey to the West" because of a movie opportunity.

Then Xu Shaohua was introduced, but unfortunately Xu Shaohua also failed to obtain the true scripture, and even had trouble with director Yang Jie.

It wasn't until Yang Jie unexpectedly met Chi Chongrui that Tang Seng was completely stable. In the end, Chi Chongrui not only obtained the scriptures, but also married the richest woman.

Opportunities in life are so unpredictable. It was supposed to be Wang Yue's opportunity, but he failed to grasp it. Later, the opportunity came to Xu Shaohua's hands, and he also failed to grasp it. In the end, the big pie fell to Chi Chongrui. in the bowl.

Gu Bei knew everything that would happen in the future, but Wang Yue didn't know this. Hearing Gu Bei say these words, he still felt baffled.

What does it mean to stay true to one's will and not have any external attachments?
"Little Gu, you..."

"Don't rush to give me an answer. There are some things that I must explain to you clearly. The filming of "Journey to the West" will not be completed in three to five months, but in one or two years. Director Yang Jie initially estimates that the filming will take The cycle will take at least five years, and it may be longer. During this period, you cannot accept other roles, so... you should think about it carefully, think about it, and come to CCTV to see me tomorrow."

After Gu Bei finished speaking, he gently patted Wang Yue's arm.

"Let's go eat, I have to go too."

When I turned around and went out, it was already dark.
