China Entertainment 1997

Chinese opera, classroom

"Yang Shuo, go on, tell me what happened last time you went to the Internet cafe."

Before class started, several students from the 02-level acting class who had already arrived at the school chatted with each other.

A few boys started a conversation and boasted, arousing the girls' interest, and then started to talk about it. Now the girls stopped, and Bai Baihe kept asking questions.

"What's wrong? Good guy, you don't know that the owner of the Internet cafe waived the Internet fee, and a few guys took us for a photo, insisted on each other's blogs, and then invited us to dinner and sing karaoke... Anyway, it's so troublesome I didn’t come back until 11pm and almost didn’t get into the dormitory.”

Yang Shuo has a relatively outgoing personality and loves to flirt with girls. He will talk nonsense when he catches the conversation.

"Tch, the owners of the Internet cafes near our school often see students from our school, and our juniors and seniors often go there as well. Do you need to be so excited?"

A few girls didn't particularly believe it. As they said, China National Theater is an art school after all, and the owner of the nearby Internet cafe and restaurant met a lot of celebrities.

Apart from other things, there was a small restaurant called [Jingxiu] before. It opened relatively early, and almost all Chinese drama students ate here.

The famous Chinese Opera Troupe 96 basically became famous by watching the proprietress of this restaurant.

What kind of food does International Chapter like to eat, how many times Hu Jing has borrowed money, how much does Liu Huohua drink, where does Zeng Li like to sit...

Everyone was well-connected. Even Cao Xuan went to this restaurant to have dinner with Hu Jing and the others when he first became famous. The landlady teased him that he was Hu Jing's boyfriend.

Having seen so many senior brothers and sisters who have become famous celebrities, most of the bosses near the Central Theater are experienced veterans and have no fuss about celebrities at all.

"Of course I don't care about it normally. Isn't this why our TV series is so popular?"

Yang Shuo explained, and Sun Jian next to him also nodded: "Shuozi really didn't brag this time, that Internet cafe was newly opened, and it was a bit far from the school, and the boss was really enthusiastic about us.

Especially for Wen Zhang, every time I go there, I have to pay for the internet and get water and snacks. Later, I took a group photo and posted it on my blog, and the attention increased a lot, and I became even more enthusiastic. "

"Wen Zhang is really popular. I heard that the blog has more than 100,000 followers."

"Tangtang is not bad, she seems to get more attention than Wen Zhang, and she was also selected as an Olympic baby."

"Lan Xi, you're not bad at all, you have tens of thousands of followers."

"Actually, I see a lot of people discussing Zhenni on the Internet, but Zhenni is too low-key and doesn't like to blog very much, so she doesn't pay much attention."

Speaking of several classmates who have received a lot of attention on their blogs, everyone present could not hide their envy.

After the Spring Festival this year, "Eighteen Years Old Sky" began to premiere on local stations to test the waters.

TV dramas with themes similar to youth and campus have always been in demand in the mainland TV drama market. In addition, this drama has a somewhat idol trend, so it can easily attract the student group.

Apart from anything else, the male protagonist’s teacher’s extravagant activities encourage students’ diversified development, fulfill students’ wishes, and even support puppy love.

This kind of plot and character is naturally deviant in the eyes of parents, but in the eyes of students, it is simply a once-in-a-lifetime class teacher.

The plot is above the level, and the leading actors are pretty, not to mention Pan Yueming, a front-line niche, and Dong Xuan, a popular little girl.

Last year, "Snowflake Dragon" and "Dragon" were broadcast. The heroic Shangguan Yan and the cool and charming Mu Wanqing made Dong Xuan, who was already very popular because of Leng Qingqiu, even more famous and famous. Floors.

It’s hard to say about the first-line flowers, but they can be considered as one of the reserves.

Dong Xuan is not like Pan Yueming. The competition among mainland niche students is far less fierce than Xiaohua, and is not as valuable as Xiaohua.

Mainland A-list celebrities can play leading roles in the film industry, while Mainland A-list celebrities can only play supporting roles for Hong Kong and Taiwan actors in most cases.

Lu Yi is already regarded as a representative figure of the mainland niche, and he also played the role of Zhen Zhuzi and Li Tianwang in Xu Laoguai's "Seven Swords".

That is to say, Sun Honglei is extremely talented and got the credit for his natural villain face, otherwise he would not have been able to get such an important role.

Therefore, the so-called mainland first-line niche is only counted in the TV drama circle. In fact, it is not particularly valuable on its own.

But the little girls from the Mainland are more powerful. Those who have never acted as heroines in commercial films or acted in artistic films are basically not qualified to compete for the front line.

A certain Zhao has "Shaolin Football" and "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", and an international chapter has "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "House of Flying Daggers".

Hu Jing is slightly inferior, but there is also "When a Man Falls in Love", which was the runner-up at the box office in the mainland in 2003. Mr. Zhou has no commercial movies that are good for the time being, but there are a lot of literary and artistic movies.

Dong Xuan is quite popular, but she is not particularly strong, and her grades and qualifications are far behind those of the Four Little Actresses.

Unless you get two more blockbuster TV series, or star in a successful commercial film, you won't be able to make it to the front line easily.

But even so, these two are capable enough to compete in the mainland TV drama market. It is basically these two who brought the attention of "Eighteen Years Old Sky".

The first broadcast was a good test, and soon after, it was arranged to be put on the stars and broadcast on Zhejiang Satellite TV, and it successfully became popular.

Needless to say, the two male and female protagonists, Pan and Dong, have continued to consolidate and enhance their reputation, and at the same time, they also made the Chinese Drama Class 02 popular.

After the broadcast of "Eighteen Years Old Sky", a gimmick was that the entire Chinese Opera Class 02 participated in the show.

After all, a class plays a role in the play, which is quite interesting to talk about.

The head teacher Zeng Li and several Chinese opera teachers also guest starred as teachers in the play.

When "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky" was first broadcast, Teacher Zeng led a team to participate in "A Date with Lu Yu", focusing on the Chinese Opera Class 02, focusing on the title of star teacher + star student.

However, Lu Yu's impression of Teacher Zeng was average. Although he didn't say "Is it true, I don't believe it", there were some awkward moments.

Teacher Zeng never liked to complain about people behind their backs, but this time he couldn't hold back Cao Xuan and Hu Jing's complaints.

In any case, "Eighteen-year-old Sky" was broadcast, and even the Chinese drama class 02 became popular.

In particular, several actors who have played important roles can be regarded as minor celebrities when they are released. Wen Zhang and Tang Yan have even begun to get invitations to play roles.

There are also many brokerage companies who have approached the Chinese Opera Class 02, intending to sign a few good talents. However, what is more surprising to outsiders is that except for a few two or three, basically no one has signed a contract.

Outsiders don't know much about it, but those in Class 02 of China National Drama Academy know very well what's going on. Those who don't sign contracts with outsiders basically have their sights set on the stars.

Last year, Fanxing launched a number of popular TV series, such as "Dragon", "Water Moon Cave", "Snowflake Goddess Dragon", "Eternal Dragon Slayer", etc. Basically all the artists who signed the contract were famous.

Dong Xuan and Gao Yuanyuan are already on the front line, and Qiao Zhenyu and Yang Xue, who are just a little bit behind, can also be considered famous artists.

Fanxing has been working hard again this year. When I checked online, there were several news about the crew establishing projects, with a total investment of tens of millions.

In the eyes of many newcomers, Fanxing has become a star-making factory in the circle, and its appeal is much greater than that of Hairun, Rongxinda and Huayi.

It has strong capabilities, many projects, and the most important thing is that it is willing to support new people. The chance of getting ahead is much higher than that of other companies.

As long as the contract is signed, there will be no shortage of dramas. When the fortune is strong, the company will start to invest resources to support it. The benefits and benefits of all parties are good, and I have not heard of any bad things.

Artists from many film and television companies are inevitably dragged out to accompany them for drinks, and some are professional "public relations". Fanxing dare not say that this does not happen at all, but try to avoid it and work hard to protect the safety of artists.

It was previously rumored that every female artist who joined Fanxing had to sleep with her boss Cao Xuan, but now the rumors have been basically debunked.

Cao Tianwang is as busy as a dog. He stays in the company for no more than two months throughout the year, so he has no time to sleep with female artists.

Not to mention that he sleeps with other people, even if a female artist wants to sleep with him, she can't stop them...

These various abilities and reputations displayed intentionally or unintentionally have made Fanxing a paradise in the hearts of many artists.

Especially for newcomers, they just aim to sign with the stars and have a bright future without having to worry about those messy things.

However, the threshold for signing contracts with Fanxing is getting higher and higher now, and it is not easy to sign people at all. But the more this happens, the more everyone comes to Fanxing.

Fanxing has fewer people to sign, so it has more resources. As long as you sign a contract, you will definitely get an opportunity. The greater the difficulty, the greater the reward.

When the Chinese Opera Class 02 was on the set of "The Eighteen-Year-Old Sky", they had contact with the staff of Fanxing, and also learned some inside stories that few outsiders knew, and they became more and more yearning for it.

At the same time, they also knew that Fanxing was very concerned about Class 02 and even signed letters of intent with several students.

In the future, Fanxing will give these students who signed the letter of intent some opportunities. If they perform well, they will officially sign the contract.

It is precisely because of this that students who receive letters of intent are determined to join Fanxing.

If I don’t get it, I want to work hard in the future by relying on the relationship between my classmates and teachers, and I won’t let go of external companies at all.

After all, they are only sophomores now, so if they really can't do it, it won't be too late to give up until they are seniors or graduates.

Of course, people may not want them again by then, but they are really unwilling to give up joining Fanxing now.

They all came from Chinese opera majors, and they were all arrogant. In their dreams at night, they would punch Liu Tianwang and step on Cao Guanren. Before being rubbed by society, they would never seriously think about the consequences of failure.

That being said, in fact, in Class 02 of Chinese Opera, I already feel a bit like a ranking.

Wen Zhang and Tang Yan, who became famous through "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky", now have a significantly heavier voice in the class than ordinary students. Even if they feel unhappy, they will not be offended easily.

But when it comes to the most famous ones from the Chinese Opera Class 02, these ones have to take a back seat.

Liu Tianxian and Tong Mou, who had a huge quarrel with Liu Zi last year, are much more famous than them.

Needless to say, Liu Tianxian is very popular because of the popularity of "Dragon". She is pretty and cute at a young age, and her role is quite likable.

This can be seen from the fact that the number of followers on her Penguin blog is approaching 1 million.

Even many A-list celebrities, even the kings and queens, don’t have as many fans as her. She is an absolutely popular star and is the biggest star of the Chinese Drama Class 02 so far.

As for the latter, it was mainly because of gossip and scandals. Although he was famous, his reputation in the class and even the school was already bad.

You know, when Zeng Li stood up for each other and stood up to the six sons and a certain director, he conquered the hearts of many Chinese opera students.

Whoever sees this doesn’t say good teacher, regretting that he is not a student in Class 02 of Chinese Opera.

As a result, things turned around one after another, Zeng Li was cheated, and Tong's reputation in the class plummeted.

Teacher Zeng loves and cares for his students. He always takes care of his classmates and even introduces them to filming. He was originally very popular in Class 02 of Chinese Drama.

At the critical moment, he stood up for the students regardless of his own future. At that time, the students in Class 02 were so shaken that they could only follow their lead.

Later, there were rumors that Zeng Li might be expelled for some reason, and many students in the class even expressed their support for her advancement and retreat.

If the school dared to expel Zeng Li, they would collectively drop out of school and demonstrate.

Under such circumstances, not to mention the matter of repaying kindness with enmity, just because she offended Zeng Li, many students in Class 02 of the Chinese Opera were at odds with her.

And it wasn't just Zeng Li who helped her at that time. Under Zeng Li's inspiration, the entire class 02 of the Chinese Drama Theater shared the same hatred. At first, Wen Zhang and several other male classmates almost beat up Liu Zi.

Therefore, Zeng Li was not the only one who was deceived by Tong, the entire Class 02 was played by her.

In such a situation, life will definitely be difficult.

Liu Tianxian, who thought he had left Shandong University as a disciple, had not said a word to the other party since then.

Others didn't have a good face. After the semester started, the other party moved out of the dormitory directly. He usually lives alone and keeps a low profile in class, becoming a transparent person.

………

When it was said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao had arrived, everyone in the class was chatting lively, but someone Tong arrived, and the originally lively discussion came to a halt.

After a while, everyone ignored her and continued chatting. During this period, other students also arrived.

It wasn't until the class bell was about to ring that a few boys who had gone out to the Internet cafe to stay up all night hurried over.

Before he could even sit firmly on his butt, he started bluffing: "Excuse me, classmates, Cao Xuan won the Grammy."

"real or fake?"

"How many awards?"

"Why didn't I hear the news?"

"Yes. Normally there should be newspapers for such a big event, but I didn't see it."

Everyone hurriedly asked about it. Cao Xuan's second Grammy battle has become quite popular in China.

It happened that the Class 02 of China National Drama Theater was all thinking about joining Fanxing, so naturally they paid more attention to the boss of Fanxing.

Not to mention, there were some speculations in the class about the relationship between Teacher Zeng and this person, and some people even got some information from Liu Tianxian.

Therefore, everyone is very enthusiastic about the news about this master who has a certain chance.

"It's silly. We are here at the wrong time from the United States. We watched Penguin Blog's live graphic broadcast on the Internet. When we got off the plane, Cao Xuan even posted a blog."

"What blog?"

"The four Grammy trophies are placed on the table, and the words live up to expectations. I also wish all lesbians a happy Women's Day."

"..."

Everyone was a little confused for a while. After all, putting Grammy and Women's Day together would have a bit of an impact on their ability to accept it.

But someone soon reacted: "What are the four trophies?"

"Best Male Pop Singer, Best Single of the Year, and what else, do you remember Ze Feng?"

"Best Music Video, and one Best Pop Album."

Li Zefeng, who plays the scumbag Xu Huanshan in "Only Thirty", took out a piece of paper with a specially copied name on it.

"Are they all important awards?"

"Except for the best MV, which may be a little bit behind, the other ones are all pretty good. The single of the year seems to be the best, but I didn't look carefully. Anyway, I saw a lot of people cheering in the online comment section."

If we talk about the Oscars, many of these Chinese opera students may know something about the situation, but the Grammys are indeed a bit indifferent to them, and they can only learn their skills online.

"But no matter what, it's great if you can win awards. Last year he won 2 awards, this year he won 4 awards, and now Cao Xuan has 6 Grammy awards. I read online that many European and American superstars don't have as many awards as him."

"Before I left, I went to Baidu to check. Michael Jackson only got 13, and Cao Xuan almost caught half of it."

"No, I read online that Michael Jackson hasn't accepted the award for several years, otherwise it should be more."

"No matter what, just be awesome. In our profession as an actor, we would have won 4 Oscars."

The students in the class were very happy. Regardless of their relationship with Cao Xuan, a Chinese won a foreign award, which in a sense brought glory to the country.

Just like Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize and Liu won the Hugo Award, everyone may not know the specific situation, but as long as they know that this is a foreign award, everyone will be happy and proud.

Especially in the current public opinion environment where Western standards are still very high, this achievement is even more inspiring.

This happy and lucky atmosphere lasted until after the morning class, and when school was about to end, the head teacher Zeng Li came in with a beaming face.

As soon as Zeng Li entered the door, many classmates saw the smile on her face and began to cheer: "Congratulations to Teacher Zeng, congratulations to Teacher Zeng."

"What are you congratulating me for?"

"Someone won a prize. Isn't Teacher Zeng happy?"

Yang Shuo's words made many people cry and howl, and Zeng Li was so angry that he hit him accurately on the head with a piece of chalk.

"When Wen Zhang is away, your boy will take over his class, Teacher Qi, right?"

"Don't dare."

Teacher Zeng's prestige in the class is still very high, and he can suppress the arrogance of the class with just a few words.

Then she got down to business: "The students in our class performed well last time. This is the time when several crews of Fanxing are starting production. They are also looking for you to play some supporting roles..."

Before they finished speaking, the class had already fallen into a riot. Compared with attending classes, they preferred filming because they could make money and have the opportunity to become famous.

Not to mention that this is Fanxing's play, and those in the class who are thinking about joining Fanxing want to show off even more.

"Okay, okay, just be quiet and I'll continue."

Zeng Li looked helplessly at this group of energetic and startled students. He waited for them to vent for a while before stopping and continuing.

"This time, because it is not a holiday, the school has conditions. The relevant courses and credits must meet the standards, and I will contact you.

This will also be the rule in the future. You decide to accept the role yourself. If the crew contacted by me is not up to standard, I will not let them go. "

Seeing that several people had dejected expressions, Zeng Li nodded with satisfaction and said, "You don't usually work hard, but now you know how powerful it is."

Taking the opportunity to hit the student with a few words, Teacher Zeng then added.

"At the same time, what I want to explain to you is that this time I only recommend you to audition. Whether you can win the role and what role you can get depends on you."

After the last time, Teacher Zeng has obviously become wiser. Although he still helps students connect with each other, he basically no longer takes responsibility for himself.

Help provide an opportunity. How good it is depends on the students themselves.

As he spoke, Teacher Zeng wrote the names of several crew members on the blackboard——

"Beauty's Scheming"

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy"

"The Domineering President Falls in Love with Me"

"Yan Shuangying 3"

"Lotus Lantern"

After finishing writing and putting the chalk away, Zeng Li pointed to the titles of the dramas: "It's probably these crews, of course there may be some other crews, it depends on how they are arranged there.

There is some information online, so you can make more preparations, which may be helpful to you when the time comes.

If you meet the conditions and are interested, please sign up with the squad leader. The squad leader will give me the list and I will contact you. Then you will follow the instructions to audition. "

"Teacher, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" seems to be Sissi's crew, right?"

"Yes, if you want to partner with your classmates, you can sign up for this crew. In addition, I should also go to this crew to play a role."

"Who's playing?"

"Sissi's mother."

Everyone: "..."

The seniority is correct, but is the director blind? His teacher is so beautiful, she plays the mother?

Zeng Li didn't care about this. He explained the good things and left directly. Before leaving, he also answered a phone call. The classmates sitting near the door vaguely heard a few words.

"Auntie and uncle are going to the alley in the evening. I'm going to buy groceries right away. When will you come over and have a video call with him then..."

In 2004, QQ could already implement video chat, which of course required some equipment assistance, as well as computer configuration and network speed requirements, but these were obviously not a problem for Cao Xuan.

After Zeng Li left, everyone in the class started to gossip about the matter after the initial excitement.

"Teacher Zeng is really happy today."

"Could it be that she is really the same as that person..."

"It's hard to say. When I was on the set of "Eighteen Years Old Sky", you also saw that both the producer and the director were too polite to the teacher."

"Yes, Dong Xuan is obviously more famous than the teacher. She calls her sister respectfully. Sun Yanzi, who comes as a guest star, can be considered a little queen. Dong Xuan is not as humble as she is in front of the teacher."

"And Teacher Zeng's skills are a bit too exaggerated. I heard that Nortel students can't even squeeze people in. She would pack us up and stuff them into the Stars crew at every turn, as if Stars is owned by her family."

"Didn't Sissi reveal her bottom last time? Although she didn't say it explicitly, her expression was obviously not right."

"If Cao Xuan is really our master, he will be very prosperous. With a little help, there will be no shortage of food in the circle in the future."

"No one thought that our teacher was so powerful that he could take down the King of Heaven. However, someone is not going to get the glory."

Several people took aim at the person in the corner. She had really deceived Zeng Li at that time.

Although Teacher Zeng didn't say anything else after that, as if nothing happened, any fool could see that Zeng Li was completely disappointed in her.

Feeling the vague glances coming from all around, Mr. Tong lowered his head, packed up his things and left, his heart actually filled with regret.

At that time, when she faced Zeng Li's questioning, she was afraid that she would be disliked if she told the truth, so she lied in a crazy way, and then she was picked on. She could only make one wrong step, and her reputation and popularity were all gone...

Now she is looking at being ostracized by the class, but she doesn't dare to show her dissatisfaction at all.

At least for now, Zeng Li has not suppressed him, but just ignored him. Although he has gained a bad reputation and offended the Zhang family and his son, he has not reached the desperate situation where there is nothing to film.

But if she continues to repay kindness with hatred, she will show her hostility towards Zeng Li.

The Zhang family and his son could not ban her, but together with Cao Xuan, they basically eliminated her foothold in the entertainment industry...
