Chapter 1034 Good Intentions
Yang Jie's execution ability is very strong. She originally wanted to take the train to Lin'an the next day, but when she returned to the unit and was about to ask for leave, the person on duty told her that the Lin'an Kun Opera Troupe had a surname last night. Zhang's people called her.
Yang Jie quickly called Liu Xiaolingtong again, and Liuxiao Lingtong told her that she didn't speak clearly yesterday, but that He Qin and Tao Huimin were actually studying in Huajing.
It turned out that Li Danmin had already made an appointment for the two girls to further their studies in Chinese Opera. After all, Chinese Opera was much better than Jiangnan Kun Opera Troupe.
It happened that Wen Bixia was also there, and the three girls got together.
The reason why Liu Xiaolingtong specifically called Yang Jie was because of Wen Bixia.
The relationship between Wen Bixia and Yin Jun is closer than the relationship between He Qin, Tao Huimin and Yin Jun. She is a key figure if she wants to persuade Yin Jun.
When Yang Jie heard this, she was overjoyed. Not only did she get a big harvest, but she finally didn't have to waste three days by taking the train back and forth.
In Huajing, she didn't need to ask for leave at all. She just went out and got on her bicycle and headed to the Chinese Opera in Nanluogu Lane.
When she arrived at Hua Xi, Yang Jie had finished registering. After asking all the way, she finally found the classroom where the three girls were attending class.
This class is their physical education class, held in the practice room.
Yang Jie stood outside and through the window, she found the three people she was looking for at a glance.
Because the three of them were really conspicuous among a group of students.
Especially the two older girls, they are so pretty, and with a little bit of makeup that ordinary girls don't have, they look even more youthful and beautiful.
Yang Jie didn't need to look any further and immediately recognized who each of the three of them was.
The youngest must be Tao Huimin, who is pretty and pink. The girl must be He Qin. The girl with a fashionable and foreign style must be Wen Bixia from Xiangjiang.
They were in class now, and Yang Jie didn't bother her. She just stood outside the door and watched Wen Bixia doing some basic body movements with the help of He Qin and Tao Huimin with a frown on her face.
The so-called basic movements include splitting legs, akimbo, stretching, etc., but where has Wen Bixia ever experienced these?
She has basic dance exercises in daily life, but this kind of difficult movement of splitting her legs into a straight line and bending sideways to touch her toes is purely something that only professional dancers can do, and Xiangjiang actors will never touch it. of these.
But in the Mainland, here at Chinese Opera, it is what every female student in the acting department needs to do.
In fact, they have had such a foundation since they were young. Girls without any foundation will not be able to enter and study here.
Regardless of whether Wen Bixia was in acting class or in rehearsing drama sketches, she was much better than ordinary students. She was simply outstanding.
But in these physical classes, she was notoriously imbecile, and the teacher didn't dare force her to do it, so he could only look at her and shake his head.
Now that He Qin and Tao Huimin are here, they help Wen Bixia step by step, and at least they have made some progress.
After class, Wen Bixia was so tired that she was dripping with sweat. She lay down on the floor and didn't want to get up.
If she doesn't leave, He Qin and Tao Huimin will naturally not leave either.
After a while, there were only three of them left in the classroom.
Yang Jie saw this and walked in.
Suddenly they saw someone coming in. He Qin and Tao Huimin, who were sitting cross-legged on the floor and talking, were stunned.
They have all seen the teachers here, but this one doesn't look like a teacher at all.
"Hello, girls! My name is Yang Jie, from China Central Television." Yang Jie took out her work ID card and handed it to He Qin, "Are you He Qin? This little girl is Tao Huimin. Right? The last time I went to the Jiangnan Kunqu Opera Troupe, you were still filming "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" directed by Li Hanxiang in Huajing. Director Gao praised you as the best actors in the troupe! I talked to Liu Xiaolingtong this morning On the phone, he told me that you and Miss Wen Bixia are studying at Hua Opera, so I rushed here directly."
He Qin carefully looked at the work permit of China TV Station, and then listened to Yang Jie's words, and she was already convinced.
Nodding, He Qin said: "Aunt Yang, do you have any business with us?"
"Of course." Yang Jie asked, "Did you hear Liu Xiaolingtong say that I am going to ask him to film "Journey to the West" and let him play the role of Monkey King, the Monkey King?"
"Wow, I've heard of it!" Tao Huimin interrupted directly, "I heard from Ayu and the others that a big director came to Brother Hou and asked him to star in a TV series! Is that you, auntie?"
"Yes! It's me!"
Yang Jie said with a smile, "Our Huaxia TV station is currently preparing for "Journey to the West", one of the four famous classics, and Liu Xiaolingtong is the most suitable candidate for Sun Wukong. However, there are so many characters in "Journey to the West", and we still have I am making other preparations and looking for other suitable actors...your senior brother Liu Xiaolingtong recommended you to me, saying that you are suitable for the role."
"'Journey to the West'?" He Qin smiled slightly, "Aunt Yang, what role do you think we are suitable for?"
Young people in this era have little entertainment.
But in recent years, the ban on books has begun to be lifted. Books like the Four Great Classics are most easily accessible to young people, so He Qin has read them several times in his spare time.
"I've been looking at you outside for a long time just now... You, I think you can adapt to several roles." Yang Jie said, "For example, the Jade Rabbit Spirit of Tianzhu Kingdom, and some other young and charming fairy characters, you can all You can come and act...Our crew does not allow each actor to appear only once, they can perform repeatedly."
Yang Jie has already planned it. In order to save costs, she must use one actor for multiple uses. Anyway, she often wears makeup. Do you know which actor is who?
"The Jade Rabbit?" He Qin nodded slightly and smiled, "This role is great!"
There were so many female monsters in "Journey to the West", and the role of the Jade Rabbit Spirit was very pleasing to the eye. She was one of the outstanding ones, and she was immediately satisfied.
Wen Bixia, who was next to her, also sat up at this time, shook her head, and said in proficient Mandarin: "No, no, the Jade Rabbit Fairy is a monster. Why can't Sister Qin play Chang'e? Marshal Tianpeng plays Chang'e, which is very famous. It’s a play!”
Yang Jie looked at He Qin and found that she was smiling and silent, so she unconsciously said: "He Qin, how about you explain it to Miss Wen?"
He Qin was stunned for a moment, but still turned to Wen Bixia and whispered: "Ayu, I'm too young. According to legend, Chang'e only ascended to heaven after marrying Hou Yi. Her image doesn't match mine. She is probably 25 It would be more suitable for an actress to be 30 years old!"
"right!"
Yang Jie smiled and said, "That's the reason. Otherwise, for example, the king of the Daughter Kingdom, Princess Baoxiang Kingdom, Chang'e, Princess Iron Fan, etc. are all good roles, and I would not be reluctant to give them to good actors."
"That's it!" Wen Bixia understood.
"For example, Miss Wen, although you are younger, there are still some roles that are suitable for you." Yang Jie pretended to be casual and said, "For example, in 'The Four Saints Test the Zen Heart', several Bodhisattvas transformed into young girls. Girl, you can play one of them... And Xiao Tao, you can also be one of the three girls transformed by Bodhisattvas, and then there are some little fairies and little Taoist boys, can't you? Are you responsible?"
"Ah? I can do it too?" Wen Bixia said in surprise.
"Of course, it depends on whether you have time." Yang Jie said: "We will focus on filming "Journey to the West" for a few years in the future, because you have a TV series to shoot in Hong Kong, so as long as your role comes , you only need to join the crew for about a month."
"Okay, I'll think about it." Wen Bixia said politely, but she didn't say whether she was willing to star.
"Tell me when you've decided!" Yang Jie also said cheerfully.
Because they still had a class to attend, their first meeting ended just like that.
In fact, even He Qin did not clearly say whether he can play the role of Jade Rabbit Spirit.
Everyone just reached an intention.
Yang Jie has no plans to get sponsorship from Yin Jun now, she always has to take her time.
After He Qin and the others entered the crew, let her see the situation of the crew and reveal the dilemma of having no money. At that time, it would be the right time to slowly introduce it to Yin Jun.
But Tao Huimin was quick to talk, and when she called Yin Jun at night, she accidentally revealed the news to Yin Jun.
Yin Jun didn't say anything, but when he put down the phone, he started to think about this matter.
When it comes to who knows the old TV version of "Journey to the West" best in the world, Yin Jun is certainly the number one.
Yin Jun has watched "Journey to the West" for at least 20 years since he was a child, and he has never been bored.
He is not the most obsessed with it. He also knows that there are even die-hard fans who have watched it for 30 years.
It's a new version, but not many people like to see it.
Although it was still produced by director Yang Jie, performed by Liu Xiaolingtong, Chi Congrui and others, and the filming was much more detailed, the feeling was completely different.
This also made countless "Journey to the West" fans sigh, if only they could finish filming "Journey to the West" in one go.
Even if it's not a full episode model of 25+16 episodes, you can still barely explain it if you shoot 34 or 5 episodes.
Yin Jun was one of the people who had such an idea when he was a child.
When he grew up, the boy began to learn more about various information about the film and television industry, and even went to find out why the film was not filmed in one go.
In fact, it is very simple to say, it is just that there is no money.
Huaxia Television was also extremely poor. It only had two cameras, but one was given to the Journey to the West crew for six years. The 2 million yuan in funding was definitely a strain at that time...so we can't say that the central government Mom doesn’t support her family.
In fact, after filming about 12 episodes, the money was almost spent, and the 2 million was originally intended to film the entire 30 episodes!
Yang Jie spent money so quickly that she even attracted an investigation team from China TV Station to investigate. When they arrived at the set, they found that the people in the investigation team felt sorry for the actors and staff. When they went back to report, they all recommended increasing funds. .
But again, Huaxia TV has no money, so it is allowed to shoot 14 episodes. Anyway, in this era, a 14-episode TV series is not bad, and the previous episodes you broadcast have already received so much praise. , which can be regarded as a complete meritorious deed.
But Yang Jie refused. She kept pursuing negotiations with the leaders of China TV Station, and even dragged Ruan Nuolin, the director of the production center, with her, saying that if it didn't work, she would go directly to the top bosses to reason.
China Television had no choice but to make a compromise and said that we will not give you the money, but you can find it yourself. It can be sponsorship or loan, but investment is absolutely not allowed because it involves copyright issues. .
Yang Jie agreed immediately.
After she came back, she mobilized all the crew members to look for funds, and finally she found it.
It is the "Eleventh Engineering Bureau of the Ministry of Railways" above the "Joint Recording, January 1986" in the ending of "Journey to the West". It is listed together with the Chinese TV Drama Production Center and China Central Television because They donated 3 million yuan in sponsorship.
However, as prices rose, the 3 million was not enough to film the remaining 15 episodes, so Yang Jie had no choice but to bite the bullet and cut off 5 episodes, leaving only 25 episodes.
The 25-episode classic version of "Journey to the West" was born out of such twists and turns.
The person who found this sponsorship for the crew was Li Hongchang, the deputy production director of "Journey to the West", who also played seven roles in the crew, including the fisherman, the black fox spirit, and the eye-catching monster.
In order to thank Li Hongchang for his contribution, Yang Jie revised the script and gave Li Hongchang the role of Centipede Spirit, the host of the Huanghua Temple in the episode "Pansi Cave".
When the current generation Yin Jun saw this place, he had no complaints.
Yang Jie has done the best she can. She should be thankful to God for being able to shoot 25 episodes of "Journey to the West". If not for Yang Jie's efforts, it is very likely that it would have been completed in 14 episodes. That would be a blessing. Big regret.
Of course, if there are only 14 episodes, it will definitely not be so classic and unforgettable.
In this life, Yin Jun even paid attention to the financial issues in "Shaolin Temple" and even whether Jet Li was injured, let alone "Journey to the West", which brought together hundreds of millions of viewers in the previous life.
Originally, in Yin Jun's memory, they were looking for Liu Xiaolingtong and He Qin. When he knew the news, it would not be so sudden if he took advantage of the situation and offered sponsorship.
Otherwise, you don’t say anything, and there is a burst of donations, which seems a bit inexplicable.
Unexpectedly, Yang Jie came to the door so quickly, and she actually asked He Qin to play the Jade Rabbit Fairy! !
You know, in the previous life, He Qin only played the role of "Lian Lian", the incarnation of the Bodhisattva, because of his young age and lack of qualifications.
That’s Sister Li Tian’s role in Jade Rabbit Spirit! It is an important role in helping Sister Li Tian become the queen of national sweet songs!
Suddenly, there was such a change of people. There might be something strange in this!
