Chapter 88: A Beauty that only Appears Once in Two Hundred Years in the Chinese Opera House, the Hall Is Full of Old People

Music videos (MVs) are essentially PVs, which are music promotional images.

The MV can not only carry the story, but also display the singer's image (actor) and Kuan Kuan's song "money-making" strategy (commercial performance promotion). Apart from the high cost of filming, there are almost no disadvantages.

In Xu Chen’s impression, the dancer Jolin Tsai’s “Oh no” and Mayday’s “Stubborn” and “Thousand Cups” can be called MV classics.

For the MV of the new album "The World is Unparalleled", Xu Chen wrote the scripts "Next Year Today", "The Evening Breeze Blows in My Heart" and "The Rain Keeps Falling" by himself. The actors are Zhang Tong, Gao Yuanyuan and Zeng Li.

The core of the story of "Next Year Today" is "a love that suddenly wakes up and things are different and people are different."

The background of the story is the Republic of China.

Xu Chen plays a handsome, elegant and wealthy young man, a new-school young man with progressive ideas.

Zhang Tong plays a wife who is illiterate, but obedient and virtuous, gentle and virtuous, and devoted to her husband.

Their living habits, hobbies, and outlook on life are completely different.

Probably the plot of the story is that Xu Chen wanted to join the army to save the country and serve the people, and wanted to divorce Zhang Tong. During this period, he violently abused Zhang Tong, but Zhang Tong endured it silently and adhered to three principles...

I will always love my husband, my husband will always be right, and my husband will always be my God~

The heroine of the tragic drama is not as miserable as Zhang Tong, with her evil mother-in-law making things difficult, her sister-in-law being in trouble, and being discriminated against by her fellow villagers.

After ten years of waiting, all Zhang Tong finally received was a letter of divorce.

Ten years later, Xu Chen returned home after a successful career. When cleaning up the wedding room, he accidentally discovered the letters left by Zhang Tong. This illiterate woman knew every word and wrote him 120 letters without addresses in ten years.

Xu Chen burst into tears. I want to save everyone in the world, but I can't save a woman who loves me.

After all the hardships of Qianfan, Zhang Tong's wife was the best, but her wife became ill and died of worry.

It's very bloody, but the audience loves to watch it. It can be regarded as a condensed version of the mainland's bitter drama.

The core of the story of "Evening Breeze Blows in My Heart" is: "Lost Love."

Probably the plot is just like a bloody Korean drama.

The female high school student played by Gao Yuanyuan and Xu Chen are childhood sweethearts. The two played "pretending to be a family" when they were young. Xu Chen said to Gao Yuanyuan: "I will marry you when I grow up." ’

Gao Yuanyuan has always kept her promise in her heart, but Xu Chen abused Gao Yuanyuan crazily. Gao Yuanyuan got nothing she asked for, and made humble sacrifices, but could only stay with Xu Chen in the name of a friend.

She wrote in her diary: "If you are destitute, I will be your last piece of luggage. I love eating strawberries, but strawberry juice is not good, and strawberry gummies are not good. Just like I love you, I can't look like you and have a similar temper." You can’t do it either. Anyway, you can’t do it.”

Suddenly one day, the little follower who had always been with him disappeared.

Xu Chen delayed for a long time, and finally found a free time to find it. His former little follower died of leukemia, leaving only a strawberry gummy candy.

Xu Chen chewed candy silently in the evening breeze, tears streaming down his face under the sunset. His youth ended at this moment.

This story is perfect. Anyway, Gao Yuanyuan burst into tears, and strawberry gummies became her favorite snack.

The core of the story of "The Rain Keeps Falling" is: "The broken can."

The story is based on "Chungking Express" by Sunglasses King.

Zeng Li plays a woman who breaks up with Xu Chen. Because she loves Xu Chen too much, this poor woman indulges in sadness after the breakup.

It rains all the time in the city where she lives. Zeng Li often wears the white shirt left by Xu Chen and wanders aimlessly in the heavy rain. She doesn't wear pants when strolling, and her big white legs are more attractive than the White Rabbit toffee.

She walked to the edge of the city for the last time. After the rain, the sky cleared up. When she turned back, it was pouring rain in the city, and the sky was clear in the distance.

She stood on the dividing line between sunny and rainy days, and finally chose to walk into the rainy day.

It wasn't the rain that trapped her, it was just her own "drawn earth as a prison."

At this time, it was captioned: "I have seen the most beautiful rainbow, but I miss your tenderness at the first sight~"

The rain keeps falling, just like I love you until the end of my life.

Worried about not being able to cope with Chang Li's examination, the scenes with Zeng Li and Zhang Tong both tested the actor's skills.

By the way~

Zeng Li is a once-in-200-year-old beauty in Chinese dramas. Xu Chen not only issued a divorce certificate to Zhang Tong this time, but also wanted to be a man that even "a once-in-200-year beauty in Chinese dramas" can't get. By the way, he ruined the goddess of literature and art. Gao Yuanyuan~

I can’t imagine that after the three of them became famous, fans would search for their idols’ early works...

Xu Chen really deserves to die!

Damn!

certainly.

Xu Chen secretly added scenes to this extent, and was kind enough to give Zhang Tong, Zeng Li, and Gao Yuanyuan perfect characters. I believe that after the broadcast, the two female college students and one female high school student will gain many fans.

Don’t dislike the MV as disgusting. The MV in the Chinese music industry has been like this for so many years. Sometimes you still have to think more about the aesthetics of the times~

Don't always say that Xu Chen is "shameless"!

……………

MV shooting is not something that happens overnight. Zhang Yang, who promised to shoot the MV for free, had no time to deal with Xu Chen.

"Love Malatang" is currently being filmed intensively. The heroine of Xu Chen's "photo" is Xu Jinglei, and Xu Chen plays a licking dog in the movie.

Bah~

Fortunately, the technical requirements for MV shooting are very low, so Xu Chen is going to ask Chang Li to help recommend a director for Chinese dramas.

After recording "The Rain Keeps Falling" in the afternoon.

"Old Wang." Xu Chen didn't expect Wang Changtian to be squatting at the door, looking at the situation for something urgent.

At this time, the chairman of the movie gangster "Guangguang" stood up with a briefcase in his elbow, and said enthusiastically with high emotional intelligence: "Brother Xu, I used to listen to your singing on TV, but now the effect is different in the recording studio. Brother Xu's nickname "Versatile God of Songs" is well-deserved! This song really has the flavor of "Prince of Misery" Zhang Yu~"

Little guy, that's right~

It's Zhang Yu's song~

Wang Changtian's politeness, Xu Chen didn't believe it, people are just polite, wiped his sweat with a towel and joked: "I didn't expect that Brother Wang is also my fan, wait for the new album to come out and bring a few copies to listen~"

"Not only am I your fan, my wife , my daughters are all your fans. "Wang Changtian said with a smile: "Especially my daughter, she heard that I know the mainland superstar Xu Chen, and she asked me to ask Brother Xu to sign it so that she can show off to her classmates."

Xu Chen laughed dumbly: "Old Wang, you want to sign the album in person~ Uncle must meet my niece's request."

The two chatted for a while, and Xu Chen got straight to the point, frowned, and said thoughtfully: "Brother Wang, you came to the recording studio to find me today, I guess it's about the "China in the Classics" thing?"

There has been no news on the program approval of Beiping TV for several days, and it is clear that "someone must be obstructing it."

This conclusion is not difficult to guess.

Beiping TV is the throat of "news" in the Yanjing area, and it can be called the base camp of the Qing Dynasty veterans in the Beijing circle. "China in the Classics" promotes Chinese traditional culture, but the veterans don't like it.

Wang Changtian was silent after hearing this, "China in the Classics" was his last shift at Beiping TV.

As the saying goes, there is a beginning and an end. Wang Changtian was determined to stand his last shift, but unfortunately...

Some people didn't give him a chance.

He held his briefcase tightly under his arm, his mind heavy, and forced a smile: "Brother Xu, this matter is very complicated. Let's find a place to sit down and talk."

There is a teahouse at the entrance of "Baihua Shenchu ​​Hutong".

The teahouse has a quiet environment and rich Peking opera culture. The singing voice tells the ups and downs of the Peking Imperial City.

Xu Chen ordered a pot of "Longjing New Tea", poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Wang Changtian, tasting it slowly, looking at Wang Changtian's worried face, and joked: "Brother Wang, it's not possible that all deputy directors of Beiping TV Station are against it~"

"That's not the case, anyway, you take a look at this first." Wang Changtian pushed the approval document over and said in short: "Brother Xu, the reasons are complicated. Let me make it short. Beiping TV Station has two quotas for "separation of production and broadcasting" this time. Due to some reasons, only one is left. Director Yu and another Director Li are competing for this quota. At present, Director Li has the upper hand."

Xu Chen understood it immediately. Beiping TV Station is not a small unit. Besides, the security guards at the door of such a unit have to compete with each other, not to mention that it is related to the future.

The establishment of a new program involves all aspects. The "China in Classics" program is special, which can be regarded as poking the base camp of the old guard.

The file is a program: "Quyi Zatan."

As the name suggests, it is a variety show mainly featuring crosstalk, opera, and Peking opera.

This kind of program is not uncommon on the northern platform in history, including CCTV Variety Channel and Shandong Province, which have broadcast homogeneous programs.

Xu Chen frowned, thinking that "quyi" was too much of a problem, and said, "Old Wang, what is the possibility of "China in Classics" now?"

"Less than 30%." Wang Changtian estimated and changed his words: "Less than 20%, brother Xu, the situation is more complicated than you think, and 20% is the result of Director Yu's military order."

Smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Xu, "China in Classics" is to promote traditional Chinese culture, and this "quyi cha cha" is to promote the intangible culture of China. The station should take care of the ideas of some old predecessors. After all, the foundation of Beiping TV Station is the intangible cultural circles of Beiping..."

It's not just a program, "quyi cha cha" needs to invite people to record the program, and there must be opera people in front of and behind the stage~

The publicity effect is good, and there must be people who go offline to buy tickets~

It's all money!

Xu Chen laughed in silence. He finally understood. He asked maliciously: "Old Wang, you mean that some Peking Opera veterans put pressure on the station. Considering the emotions and energy of these people, the station is going to cancel my program. Is that right?"

Fuck.

"Quyi Zatan" has "Peking Opera veterans", and "China in Classics" also has "music veterans"!

Look down on Gu Jianfen, or look down on Wang Lipin, or Zhang Qiang, the pipa master of the Central Conservatory of Music, and Zhou Wang, the guqin master of the China Conservatory of Music. Oh~ This person is also the vice president of the Chinese Music Department of the China Conservatory of Music...

When arm wrestling, Xu Chen has never been afraid: "My arms are full of muscles."

Wang Changtian said regretfully: "That's it, brother Xu, the complexity and uniqueness of Beiping TV Station is far from being explained in one sentence. This time, Director Yu called me here to give up this program and let me convey his opinion..."

"China in Classics is an excellent program, but it's a pity that it was born at the wrong time. If it is not in the future If there is a chance, Beiping TV station welcomes Brother Xu's program. "

Wang Changtian looked at Xu Chen, and a good program was cut off like this. He advised: "Brother Xu, you are still young and have many opportunities. The failure of this program does not mean that the program is bad."

Xu Chen leaned back in his chair and drank tea slowly: "Old Wang, a good program should not fail. "China in Classics" has folk music elements. If I get Wang Lipin, Gu Jianfen, Professor Zhang Qiang of the Central Conservatory of Music, and Professor Zhou Wang of the China Conservatory of Music to jointly sign a book, can "China in Classics" and "Quyi Zatan" compete fairly? "

"Brother Xu, do you know Wang Lipin?" Wang Changtian said in surprise: "If Wang Lipin is willing to come forward, this matter will be easier to handle."

Wang Lipin is the "folk music boss". He doesn't know Zhang Qiang and Zhou Wang, but Xu Chen's meaning is very clear. They can represent the Central Conservatory of Music and the Huaxia Conservatory of Music...

The two academies are the dominant players in the Peking music circle.

Wang Changtian stared at Xu Chen. Brother Xu became more and more unpredictable. Could he be the second generation?

If you can get Xu Chen to help you start your own business, I feel like half the battle is won~

"We know each other," Xu Chen said hehely, "Old Wang, to be honest, yesterday I became my mentor to four old gentlemen, Wang Lipin, Gu Jianfen, Zhang Qiang, and Zhou Wang..."

"Pfft!" Wang Changtian spit out all his tea in one gulp. He worshiped four old gentlemen as his mentors, and he could worship four of them at once.

Xu Chen pulled a tissue and gave it to him. Lao Wang had learned a lot, wiped it randomly a few times, clicked his tongue and said, "Brother Xu, you... you don't take the ordinary path."

As he said that, he couldn't help but get excited: "Brother Xu, if the four seniors Wang Lipin, Gu Jianfen, Zhang Qiang, and Zhou Wang are willing to give a platform to "China in Classics", the lineup of this program will not be inferior to "Talk about Folk Arts", no, I We need to tell Director Yu this news quickly..."

Wang Changtian disappeared even faster as he came, carrying his briefcase and disappearing from the alley like a young boy.

…………

Peking TV station’s “China in the Classics” has too many unstable factors.

Let’s just say that this time, if it weren’t for the “China Song Chart” to bring together big names in the music industry such as Wang Lipin and Gu Jianfen, Xu Chen would have been a loser.

visible……

If China wants to do something, it has something to do with ability, but it has little to do with it. If you say you can do it, you can do it. If you say you can't, you can't do it.

"Album" is different. If you sell one album, you will get one income. The more you sell, the more you get.

Therefore, Xu Chen responded with 120% hard work and hard work on the album MV...

It has nothing to do with Zhang Tong playing his wife and Zeng Li getting wet and seducing her!

August 3rd.

Xu Chen saw four golden flowers at the entrance of Zhongxi Opera.

In August in Peking, the autumn is high and lonely, and the leaves of the trees on the Central Theater Campus are slightly yellow.

China National Theater is located in Shichahai, and the campus is very small. If it weren't for the white school sign hanging at the door, Xu Chen would have thought that China National Opera was a technical school.

It happened to be Sunday.

There were cars coming and going in the narrow alley, and four golden flowers stood at the gate of the campus. There were so many people coming and going, but God only loved four people.

Zhang Tong wore a plain white dress. She had a plump figure, as white, tender and sweet as a round and plump lychee. No wonder Tang Guo choked and pulled her clothes regardless of his safety~

Zeng Li's face is like a full moon, her eyebrows are as light as wicker, not to mention her tall figure in Tsing Yi, a pair of blue bell-bottomed trousers accentuates her figure like a lotus in a lotus pond~

Zhang Ziyi and Hu Jing were a little less coquettish, one had too sharp eyes and the other had a pale expression.

"Unparalleled in the World" has 12 songs. Xu Chen is going to collect stamps and play 8 Golden Flowers, but the emphasis is different after all. He focuses on Zhang Tong and Zeng Li.

The former is a crazy fan of his own, while the latter is purely a wet temptation.

"Classmate Zhang~" Xu Chen was wearing toad glasses and a khaki windbreaker, with some Korean casual style. This aesthetic is unparalleled in the country.

The four golden flowers were all stunned, even though there were many good-looking boys in the film.

But after all, Xu Chen is the king of mainland China, and his idol filter kills all the idols in an instant, leaving everyone fascinated.

Zhang Ziyi came to his senses quickly and stood beside Xu Chen with a light body. He said with admiration and enthusiasm: "Brother Chen, you are so handsome today. Teacher Chang is in the office. Let me lead the way~"

"Okay~" Xu Chen looked at Zhang Ziyi, who had been seizing every opportunity since he was a sophomore, and nodded and said, "Thanks to Zhang Ziyi for the hard work."

…………

The school gate.

Zeng Li and Hu Jing stared at Zhang Ziyi's back.

Zhang Ziyi's attentive appearance refreshed the simple values ​​of female college students.

Hu Jing pulled the arm of Zhang Tong next to him. He was dissatisfied with Nunu's nose and said, "Squad leader, you obviously fought for the opportunity. Why should she be in the limelight? Last time she kept saying that she would die if she acted in Xu Chen's MV. I see She probably wants to die in Xu Chen’s arms.”

Zhang Tong was stupid.

Zeng Li pushed her and teased: "Still silly, everyone has left. Brother Chen should go to Teacher Chang's office. You like Brother Chen so much, let's go find him."

Zhang Tong's face turned red, and he shook his head and said, "Forget it, Zhang Ziyi took Brother Chen over, and I won't bother him to discuss with Teacher Chang."

"You've been busy for so long, aren't you afraid that Zhang Ziyi will take away the opportunity?" Hu Jing shouted: "If you treat her as a friend, she won't be polite to you. She secretly contacted the manufacturer for the last advertising opportunity. Stop talking to her."

Zhang Tong hesitated, but finally said firmly: "The MV is very important. Brother Chen and Teacher Chang must have their own considerations. As long as Brother Chen's MV is good, it doesn't matter whether I shoot it or not."

"It doesn't matter if you contradict Chang Ban, you can hold on until you're full." Hu Jing was impatient and couldn't see Zhang Tong's behavior, so he said angrily: "Dalizi, let's go, we won't play with the doormat anymore."

Zeng Li rolled her eyes and gently pulled Zhang Tong: "Okay, let's go back to the dormitory to wash clothes."

…………

"Brother Chen, that's the girls' dormitory. Our dormitory is on the fourth floor. Zhang Tong and Zeng Li are my roommates."

The Chinese Opera campus is really small. The buildings are all in the style of the 1980s. The trees are densely shaded. Many students take advantage of Sunday to bask in the sun under the trees.

Zhang Ziyi was like a lark along the way, leading Xu Chen to wander around the campus. When someone met someone he knew, he would tell Xu Chen who they were.

Xu Chen didn't dislike Zhang Ziyi, but he still needed to discuss the script with Chang Li. He interrupted with a smile and said, "Student Zhang, does Teacher Chang usually walk a long way to class?"

"Not far~" Zhang Ziyi was young after all, and said with a shy voice, "Brother Chen, we'll be there soon."

The teacher's office building was next to the shade of the tree. Zhang Ziyi led Xu Chen to the third floor and knocked on the door: "Teacher Chang, Brother Chen is here."

Chang Li was correcting homework and seemed very angry. She glared at Zhang Ziyi and then saw Xu Chen.

As expected of a teacher in the acting department, she was in a relaxed mood. She stood up and said enthusiastically: "Comrade Xu, you look very handsome on TV. Are you interested in applying for the acting department of the Central Academy of Drama~"

"Hello, Teacher Chang." Xu Chen held the script and said very confidently: "I'm just like Mu Mu. This is the MV script. Please correct me, Teacher Chang."

After all, he needed help from others, and Xu Chen also hoped that Chang Li would recommend a director.

Xu Chen got straight to the point. Chang Li glared at Zhang Ziyi: "Why are you standing there like an idiot? Why don't you serve tea to the guests?"

She sat down and opened the script. The more she read, the more she wanted to laugh. After reading all three stories, she simply said: "Comrade Xu, this script is really good. It can't be you who wrote it."

So conceited~

It turns out that you are Jia Baoyu in "Dream of Red Mansions". You care about the ladies from noble families and the girls from ordinary families.

Looking at Xu Chen who was sitting upright, Chang Li nodded in approval. Xu Chen was right. He was a good-looking piece of wood~

Putting aside the "conceit" of the plot, with Chang Li's professional level of review...

The stories are all pretty good!

The story of "Next Year Today" has a clear "beginning, development, turn and ending". It has both family and country feelings and the love and hatred between children. In particular, the growth of the female character's life is very clear.

The first time I met Xu Chen, this child bride was ignorant and only had feudal imprisonment.

The second time she met Xu Chen, this child bride could think, read, and learn to write letters to Xu Chen. In the letters, she became a real person.

The ending said that this story condensed the "time characteristics" of the Republic of China.

The core of the story of "The Rain Keeps Falling" is very simple, but it tests the acting skills of the actresses. From the pain and confusion when breaking up, to repeated self-examination, and finally letting go, she chose to return to the "heavy rain".

Although they are all "heavy rain", the emotions are different.

Chang Li saw at a glance that this story is the process of a woman "losing herself" to "saving herself" in the face of love.

The rest of the script is similar, with no special features.

After thinking for a while, Chang Li smiled and said, "Comrade Xiao Xu, there are many students in my class. Do you have any candidates you are interested in?"

This means that she agreed to shoot Xu Chen's MV.

Zhang Ziyi's ears stood up instantly. Although her eyes were honestly staring at the tip of her shoes, her attention was all on Xu Chen.

"Teacher Chang, is this okay? I'm going to meet my classmates in the class." Xu Chen was ready for an interview. After all, it would be best if he was willing to sign a contract with "Time Pictures".

"Interview?" Chang Li thought for a moment: "Comrade Xiao Xu, today is the weekend, many students may not be here, we can only try to find someone."

…………

On Sundays, many students of the Central Academy of Drama went out to play,

However, the news that Xu Chen went to the Central Academy of Drama to select the new album "Unparalleled in the World" still triggered a frenzy of interviews among students.

Except for the 1996 acting department of the Central Academy of Drama, the remaining few well-informed acting departments came to join in the fun.

In 1997, there were very few opportunities for TV dramas and movies. Many students studied for four years and may not have had any internship experience in a crew.

What's more.

Xu Chen is a mainland superstar. Many professional actors are jealous of the opportunity to appear in the MV of the album "Unparalleled in the World", not to mention the "actor reserve."

When Zeng Li and Hu Jing dragged Zhang Tong to the classroom,

There was a long queue in the corridor outside the classroom. Liu Ye was sharp-eyed in the crowd. When he saw Zhang Tong, he greeted her: "Class monitor, why are you here for the interview? King Chen didn't leave you a chance. I saw Zhang followed King Chen in."

"You are talking about something else." Hu Jing kicked him: "Go away, I will give you a chance in the interview later."

Liu Ye blew the long hair in front of her head: "Based on my acting skills, I will be the one to give a chance later. By the way, class monitor, I just heard from the students in front of me that the best scripts for this album are "Next Year Today" and "The Rain Keeps Falling". One plays King Chen's wife and the other plays King Chen's girlfriend. When you audition later, remember to choose these two scripts."

As he said, Liu Ye laughed to himself: "It's both wife and girlfriend. I want to release a song and shoot an MV."

"Think about it yourself. Cover yourself with two more quilts when you sleep at night to avoid catching a cold in your dreams."

Zhang Tong is relatively tall. Looking inside from the window of the classroom, Zhang Ziyi was sitting next to Xu Chen, busy organizing the interview.

She didn't care, and stared at Xu Chen blankly...

She clenched her white and tender hands, "This Xu Chen's wife must be me!"
