Chapter 128 Hello, brother-in-law!
After making an appointment with Gong Xue, the two chatted for a while, and then the time was up and Gong Xue had to go to rehearsal.
Zhu Lin then continued to stroll around out of boredom.
Zhu Lin is in a very happy mood now because she feels that she has made a milestone breakthrough on her path to becoming a director.
I’ll choose the actors!
Although she has a very nonchalant mentality, she has never thought about becoming a big director or making any earth-shattering works.
But since I have chosen this line of work, I should at least study it seriously. I can't just always be a vassal of Changhe.
Zhu Lin didn’t think much of it before, because she was in medical school at the time and she and Li Changhe were not married yet. Apart from their daily lives, their careers didn’t overlap much, and they each had their own work circles and didn’t affect each other.
At that time, Zhu Lin didn't feel much of the influence of Li Changhe.
But now, after entering the Film Academy and coming into contact with these people in the entertainment industry, Zhu Lin suddenly realized that Li Changhe's influence on her was everywhere.
The teachers at school will be kind to her because of Changhe, and her classmates will be humble and polite to her because of Li Changhe.
Even those who heard the gossip behind her back were envious and jealous that she found Li Changhe as her husband.
Zhu Lin felt helpless after experiencing so much.
There's nothing I can do about it. It's because the man I found is so good.
But she also thought it through. There was nothing she could do about her man being good. Maybe he would be even better in the future, and she couldn't change that.
But you can also improve yourself, slowly improve yourself and become a better person.
This is what Zhu Lin is thinking now.
At noon, I had an internal meal in the cafeteria of the General Political Department Art Troupe. The reception was pretty good.
Then in the afternoon, Zhu Lin followed teacher Yang Jie and watched the internal rehearsal of the art troupe.
Director Yang Jie led them to watch the show and gave them serious comments, and also asked a few girls' names.
This type of character looks pretty but not very distinctive, which gave Zhu Lin a clearer understanding of casting.
Afterwards, after watching the show, the group returned to CCTV in the afternoon.
After returning to the office, Yang Jie called Zhu Lin.
"Linlin, you were too rash to choose that girl today. It has a bad influence on her."
After calling out, Director Yang Jie began to criticize without hesitation.
Since she chose Zhu Lin as her apprentice, she would not only praise him, but also criticize him when necessary.
When Zhu Lin saw that the teacher was angry, he immediately admitted his mistake.
"I'm sorry, teacher. I was wrong."
"Tell me, what were you thinking at that time?"
Yang Jie felt that Zhu Lin was not such a reckless person. She would not force her ideas on him. She was willing to see Zhu Lin's thoughts.
Seeing this, Zhu Lin did not hide anything and told Yang Jie his thoughts.
"Li Changhe is a crooked guy. You are a student director, and I want you to teach him acting skills."
"You only know a little bit about acting."
"But that girl named Gong Xue is also very bold. She actually believed your idea."
"You two, one of you really dares to teach, and the other really dares to learn."
After listening to Zhu Lin's ideas, Director Yang Jie couldn't help but shook her head.
Only Li Changhe could come up with such a bizarre approach, which is not the right path.
But
Yang Jie had to say that this idea was beneficial to Zhu Lin's improvement.
If there really was someone to help her practice like this, Zhu Lin would be able to digest and understand what she learned very quickly.
But for the girl named Gong Xue, it all depends on God's will.
Whether what you learn is good or bad in the end depends only on your own understanding.
Director Yang Jie couldn't help but shook her head at this time.
That girl was also a good talent, with a gentle temperament, not much different from his own apprentice. When they stood together, they were as beautiful as plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.
"Your idea is good, but you can't delay others."
"That girl is in the General Political Department Drama Troupe. There are acting teachers in the troupe. You have to consider the impact on her."
"Well, I'll give her a spot in the evening party rehearsal later. Then she won't have to participate in the evening party rehearsal. I'll see how you guys are doing by then."
Director Yang Jie finally decided to help Zhu Lin finish the film and give it some supervision!
The main reason is that the girl named Gong Xue is really good, and she is afraid that her apprentice will teach others the wrong things.
"what?"
Zhu Lin was surprised at first, then he reacted.
I immediately said to Director Yang Jie with gratitude: "Thank you, teacher."
It would be great if the teacher could help them check it at that time.
"Teach her seriously and don't lead her astray. She is a good talent."
Yang Jie gave Zhu Lin an instruction.
Zhu Lin nodded seriously: "Teacher, I know."
She definitely wanted to teach seriously, and in the future, she really wanted Gong Xue to be the female lead in a play.
Zhu Lin feels a sense of accomplishment just thinking about the actors he taught getting to shoot their own movies.
Yes, that’s the word Changhe said, a sense of accomplishment!
It was at this time that Li Changhe got off the bus and strolled to the entrance of CCTV.
It's another day of hanging around in the Capital Hotel. Li Changhe spoke highly of the staff meal today. I don't know which apprentice took action, but it seems he is ready to become a master.
After staying in the Capital Hotel for a long time, Li Changhe also learned a lot of interesting things.
For example, employee meals are usually prepared by apprentices, and the taste evaluation of the meals also affects their promotion.
Generally speaking, as long as the food is delicious and everyone praises it, it means that your level is good enough and you can apply for the restaurant's upgrade exam.
After all, the employees in the restaurant have very picky tastes in their daily meals, so to get their approval is really above average.
While sighing in his heart, he strolled into the office of CCTV director Yang Jie.
Zhu Lin was sitting in front of an empty desk reading a book.
Hearing the noise and seeing Li Changhe appear at the door, Zhu Lin's eyes showed surprise.
Then he stood up and walked to director Yang Jie's side.
Director Yang Jie also saw Li Changhe, and then smiled at Zhu Lin and said, "Let's go!"
"goodbye teacher"
Afterwards, Zhu Lin walked out of the office happily, and the two turned and left.
"You seem very happy today. Did you learn a lot from Teacher Yang?"
Li Changhe asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Lin couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
"No, I found a really good actress today."
"Changhe, I'll take you to see her later!"
Zhu Lin said happily at this time.
Li Changhe was a little surprised: "Actor girl?"
"Didn't you tell me the other day that you wanted to improve your acting skills and directing knowledge? Could I find someone to teach you?"
"I definitely can't teach the people in the school's acting department, and they look down on me."
"But today the teacher took us to the General Political Department Art Troupe, and I met an art soldier from the Magic City. He was very special in appearance."
"It's just like what you told me, standing there, there's a special sense of picture, very attractive actor's characteristics." "I told her that I can teach her acting, and she learned from me."
"Let's go and have a look together later."
Zhu Lin said excitedly at this time.
"So you're happy because of this. Do you still want to go at this time?"
Li Changhe asked in surprise.
"You don't know where the General Political Department Art Troupe is?"
Zhu Lin looked at Li Changhe with some curiosity. She thought Li Changhe knew.
Li Changhe was a little confused: "I don't know."
"You forgot. It's less than a thousand meters south of our home, near the Wanshou Temple, near the old theater."
Zhu Lin reminded Li Changhe.
As soon as she mentioned the old theater, Li Changhe's memory came to mind.
"When you mentioned the old theater, Wanshou Temple, it reminded me of it. There was a cultural troupe there."
As soon as Li Changhe was reminded by Zhu Lin, the memory came to his mind.
These memories are deep in his memory, and Li Changhe usually only remembers them when he encounters them.
But after he returned to the city, he seldom wandered south of his home. He always went to the center of Beihaidian Town.
If you go south to the city, you will take Baiyi Road directly. Baiyi Road is on the east side of Wanshou Temple, and the old theater that Zhu Lin mentioned is actually in the southwest direction.
In other words, that area happened to be a blind spot in Li Changhe's range of activities. He had never been there, so he had no impression of it.
"That was the General Political Department's art troupe. I just remember there was an art troupe and a theater there, but I don't have a deep impression of it."
"Where is that art soldier from?"
Li Changhe asked with a smile.
"Yes, her name is Gong Xue, and she's from Shanghai. You'll know when you meet her."
Zhu Lin said to Li Changhe.
After listening to this, Li Changhe recalled thoughtfully.
He seemed to have heard the name Gong Xue.
But Li Changhe himself did not have a deep impression of her because he had never seen her.
Li Changhe was born in the 1990s. His impression of these actresses from the 1980s came from two sources: one is movies and TV series, and the other is the novels he read in his previous life.
There are actually only a few of the most profound ones here.
The first one to be affected is naturally Her Majesty the Queen. Ever since we had a TV at home when I was seven or eight years old, I have watched Journey to the West and Her Majesty the Queen every year.
Another one is Fu Yiwei who played Daji. Investiture of the Gods is also a must-see.
These are the two actresses that have the most intuitive and memorable impressions in Li Changhe's mind from watching TV dramas.
Then there are Gong Li and Liu Xiaoqing, who are actors who are famous but whom Li Changhe knows little about.
Gong Li is okay. I learned a lot about her from reading the novel and I have also seen the movie.
"Flirting Scholar" "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils: The Childlike Grandma of Tianshan"
And the "Curse of the Golden Flower" with white flowers all over the city is really huge!
As for the others, they only have a superficial understanding.
For example, Chen Hong, Kaige's wife, Arthur's mother, there are many gossips about her, and she is the heroine who often appears in entertainment articles. Li Changhe has also seen her role, but felt it was just average.
He Qing, known as the woman who played all four great classics, is often praised in many novels. I have some impression of Li Changhe. Anyway, his wife in Journey to the West is not as pretty as his own.
Tao Huimin, the wife of the director, Li Changhe only knew this actress through In the Name of People. Many people later said that she was beautiful when she was young, but to him it was just hearsay.
To Li Changhe, these people are people with a weak presence and no filters.
To be honest, he is not even as good as Rosamund Kwan and Joey Wong from Hong Kong. After all, Li Changhe watched a lot of Hong Kong movies in his previous life and wrote about them himself, so the impressions are more profound.
As for Gong Xue, Li Changhe was very vague about her. He had never seen any of her movies or TV series. He had not even read any of her novels in which Gong Xue was the heroine, so he knew very little about her.
So when Li Changhe heard Zhu Lin talk about this, he didn't feel much moved. After all, there is no such thing as movie and TV filters.
The two of them took the car, but this time they changed to the bus and got off directly at Wanshou Temple.
"Have you made an appointment with someone?"
Li Changhe asked Zhu Lin curiously.
"It means that after they finish rehearsals in the evening, the art troupe gets off work at about the same time as the company, which is around this time."
Zhu Lin had been in a cultural troupe and knew the time.
"Look, he's standing there!"
When he got closer, Zhu Lin saw Gong Xue standing and waiting at the door.
Li Changhe also looked in the direction Zhu Lin pointed, and then was slightly surprised.
Perhaps because she had left the art troupe, Gong Xue did not wear the green military uniform, but changed into casual clothes, everyday attire.
However, the exquisiteness of Shanghai people is in their bones. When Gong Xue wears daily clothes, her extraordinary appearance and temperament are more prominent.
At this time, Gong Xue also saw Zhu Lin and the man beside Zhu Lin.
"Sister Zhu Lin is really here. The man next to her should be her lover, the famous writer Li Changhe."
"What should I call myself later?"
Gong Xue walked slowly, thinking constantly in her heart.
She is a relatively introverted girl who thinks a lot in her mind. This is a habit she has developed from her experiences over the years, otherwise she would not be able to protect herself.
"Sister Zhu Lin"
After meeting, Gong Xue greeted Zhu Lin softly, after all, she was going to teach her how to act.
Then, after hesitating for a moment, Gong Xue looked at Li Changhe again and called out three words in a voice as soft as a mosquito.
"Hello, brother-in-law"
She felt that it was too impolite to call Li Changhe by his name directly, and she couldn't call him Comrade Changhe or something like that, as that would make her seem like a leader.
And Sister Zhu Lin said this morning that Li Changhe seemed to be two years younger than her.
You can't just call him "Xiao Li".
After thinking for a long time, she decided to use the name that others in the dormitory told her and just call her brother-in-law.
Follow the name for Zhu Lin!
Li Changhe didn't feel anything. It was normal to call Zhu Lin sister and brother-in-law.
"Comrade Gong Xue, hello!"
"Well, let's find a restaurant and talk while we eat. It's time for dinner anyway."
Zhu Lin said with a smile at this time.
"I'm not familiar with this place. Are there any good restaurants? State-owned or collective ones are fine."
Li Changhe spoke.
The restaurants he was familiar with were all in the north of Haidian Town, and he had never been to the southwest side.
Zhu Lin looked at Gong Xue and said with a smile: "I'll have to ask Xiaoxue about this. Can you recommend one to me?"
Gong Xue thought for a moment, then pointed in a direction: "There is a Red Flag State-Owned Restaurant over there, next to the Nanchang River. The food is pretty good. We go there to eat sometimes."
"Then go there and lead the way for us."
Then the three of them walked towards the Hongqi State-owned Hotel together.
