Chapter 109 Can I Invite You to Watch a Movie? (Subscribe Please!)

In the small auditorium of Beijing Film Academy.

A carefully rehearsed "Romeo and Juliet" is being performed.

In the audience, all the professors of the directing department are sitting in the audience, watching attentively.

The play has come to an end.

Zhu Yawen, dressed in a gorgeous medieval costume, is looking at Liu Yifei, who is lying in the center of the stage, as if she is just asleep.

"Juliet, why are you still so beautiful?"

"Although the god of death has drained your sweet breath, he can't take away your beauty."

"I believe this is one of his plots. The god of death also loves you. Is he going to take you to be his mistress?"

Zhu Yawen's tone and expression are very appropriate, and she performed the soul of a person who is deeply in love to the extreme.

Professor Xie Xiaojing, who was sitting in the audience, showed a satisfied smile on her face, "Xiao Wu, the actors are well taught."

How good are the acting skills of freshmen? How can Xie Xiaojing, who has taught for decades at Beijing Film Academy, not know?

Obviously, most of the credit for Zhu Yawen's good performance should be attributed to director Wu Yuan.

Facing Xie Xiaojing's praise, Wu Yuan looked at Zhu Yawen on the stage with a thoughtful expression, without saying anything.

"I want to be with you! From the dark night of this palace, we will never be separated again."

"I'll see you for the last time, give you the last hug, lips, the door of breath, sealed forever with a kiss of indignation."

Looking at Zhu Yawen's performance on the stage, which was obviously a bit beyond his normal performance, Wu Yuan felt something was wrong.

He frowned, looking at Zhu Yawen's eyes that looked directly at Liu Yifei, not hiding his admiration at all, and muttered in his heart.

In his eyes, Wu Yuan saw only emotions, without a trace of skills.

He didn't believe that Zhu Yawen's acting skills were so superb that even the director himself couldn't see through them.

This kid didn't rehearse too much, was too into the play, and really fell in love with Liu Yifei?

It's easy for new actors to make such mistakes.

Especially when acting in the first romantic drama, it is easy to take this performance opportunity too seriously and devote yourself to the filming, resulting in being too deeply involved in the play and really falling in love with the opposite actor.

This situation is really common in the circle, and most of the actor couples develop in this way.

Of course, there are more people who fell in love with each other during the play but did not make it to the end.

Before Wu Yuan could think about it, the performance on the stage was over.

Juliet in this scene did not really die, but just pretended to die.

When she heard Romeo's true confession, she couldn't help but wake up and hugged Romeo together. The curtain on the stage also slowly fell at this warm moment.

In fact, this scene should have ended with a kiss, which is a famous scene in the third act of "Romeo and Juliet".

It's just that Wu Yuan felt that Liu Yifei, a 16-year-old girl, was just rehearsing Wu Yuan's doctoral assignment. It was a bit inappropriate to make such a big sacrifice.

Liu Yifei herself was not very willing to shoot such a "large-scale" scene.

So Wu Yuan made some changes, and the hero and heroine finally just hugged and cried.

The professors in the directing department were certainly not superficial people, and they would not think there was anything wrong with removing the kiss scene.

After the curtain was drawn, they stood up and applauded.

"Xiao Wu, the rehearsal was good!"

"These actors are well trained. I think their acting skills are good enough even if they are released directly to star in a movie, right?"

"You can teach them to this level in half a year. You are better at teaching students than many acting department teachers."

The professors praised Wu Yuan generously.

"No, no." Wu Yuan replied modestly: "This scene has been rehearsed for half a year. It's just a targeted rehearsal for such a drama. How can it be rehearsed well?"

He really didn't think he was that good.

If any other good director were given half a year to rehearse a drama in a targeted manner, the effect of the rehearsal would not be bad.

This is different from the situation of a movie crew rehearsing a play.

When filming a movie, actors usually only rehearse a few times before filming. How can you have half a year to polish it bit by bit?

The professors' praises were mostly just good words.

But it is undeniable that Wu Yuan's play was indeed very complete and ultimately presented an excellent performance.

Several actors who participated in the play came out from behind the scenes and stood in the small auditorium to bow and thank the audience.

Xie Xiaojing looked at the group of young people with a smile.

"You all performed very well."

"Being able to participate in this play performance of Romeo and Juliet, I believe it will be a lifelong learning and practice for you."

"I will also tell your teacher Jinsong about your excellent performance!"

"Thank you for your hard work. You can go back to the dormitory and rest first."

Luo Jin, Zhou Yang, Zhu Yawen and others all showed joy on their faces. It was the most gratifying thing for students to be praised and rewarded by teachers.

Not to mention that they were familiar with the great director Wu Yuan and exchanged contact information.

It was worth it for them to participate in the drama rehearsal this time!

Only Liu Yifei showed a hesitant look on her face when she heard Professor Xie Xiaojing ask them to leave.

She glanced at Wu Yuan with a somewhat empty look and opened her mouth to say something, but when she saw Wu Yuan surrounded by professors from the directing department, she closed her mouth again.

With a sigh of disappointment, Liu Yifei followed Luo Jin and walked slowly towards the auditorium door.

She didn't know that all her movements and expressions were captured by Zhu Yawen standing beside her.

I don't know if she hasn't finished the play yet, or if she doesn't want to finish the play. Anyway, when Zhu Yawen saw Liu Yifei's eyes and expression on Wu Yuan, her face was bitter.

He looked back at the empty stage, feeling very reluctant.

I wish this play would never end and go on forever.

Wu Yuan, who was under the stage, naturally didn't know that there were so many inner dramas between the male and female protagonists. He was only concerned with chatting with several professors.

"Xiao Wu, you will go to Los Angeles to attend the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in two days, right?"

Director Tian Zhuangzhuang, who was transferred back to the directing department of Beijing Film Academy last year, patted Wu Yuan on the shoulder with a smile, "Teacher here wishes your new movie a big box office success!"

"I also hope you can be more successful in Hollywood!"

"Bring more glory to our Beijing Film Academy in the world!"

Today you are proud of your alma mater, and tomorrow your alma mater will be proud of you.

This sentence is not a joke.

Although Wu Yuan is still studying for a doctorate, his photo has appeared in the latest version of the Beijing Film Academy alumni directory, and it is ranked very front.

Several professors came up to send their blessings to Wu Yuan.

They are definitely the group of people in the world who hope that Wu Yuan can be more and more successful and his film performance will be better and better.

More than ten minutes later, Wu Yuan, who had finished chatting with several professors and mentors and completed his doctoral work, left the small auditorium alone.

Wu Yuan, who was just about to go home to pack his luggage, had not yet walked out of the school gate when his mobile phone rang. It was a text message.

He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was from Liu Yifei, the little girl.

"Brother, thank you for choosing me to play Juliet."

"Thank you for your patience and meticulousness in teaching me how to be a qualified actor."

"To express my gratitude, I want to invite you to watch a movie. Recently, "Stealing Hearts" is very popular. I wonder if you have time."

Wu Yuan laughed and shook his head, and quickly typed a text message with both hands: "Don't be so polite. I'm going to the United States tomorrow and I don't have much time to watch movies."

"I'll invite you to watch "Pirates of the Caribbean" when it is released in China."

After replying the message, Wu Yuan put his phone back in his pocket and walked towards the school gate with big strides.

Behind a landscape tree not far behind him, Liu Yifei, wearing a fluttering white dress, poked her head out, bit her lips with silver teeth, and looked at Wu Yuan's back as he walked away, her eyes fixed on him for a long time.

And behind her, behind a landscape tree farther away, Zhu Yawen, who was also watching her back, was holding the landscape tree with her hands, and the bark was almost peeled off.
