February and March every year are the time for art exam interviews. At this time, students from all over the country gather at the entrance of Jingying Film School with artistic dreams to enter Jingying Film School for further studies.

But now these students are attracted by the two long and eye-catching red banners hanging at the school gate.

Warm congratulations to our outstanding student Wu Yuchen for winning the Best Director Award at the 47th Berlin International Film Festival!

Warm congratulations to Wu Yuchen, an outstanding student of our school, for winning the 47th Berlin International Film Festival Jury Silver Bear Award for Run Lola Run!

Some candidates are ignorant. They have never heard of the three major names in Europe and are too embarrassed to ask people around them. They just look at this banner and feel that it is very powerful.

Some have already boldly asked the Beijing Film Academy students who are doing the guiding work:

Hello, Senior Brother, is the Silver Bear Award at this Berlin Film Festival great?

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaoming raised his chin, and an evil smile appeared on his face:

It's not just awesome, it's extremely awesome! The three major film festivals in Europe are the highest palaces of art films! To win the best director here is to prove that you are the best director in the world!

The surrounding students opened their mouths and showed shocked eyes. Someone boldly asked: Is that more powerful than Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou?

They are all great. Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou have both won awards from the three major universities, and they are both from our Beijing Film Academy. Now it is our teacher Wu's turn to take over!

Teacher Wu? Senior brother, isn't this written about students at school?

Huang Xiaoming looked proud and said: That's right, but Teacher Wu is our class counselor, that is, only our class can be called Teacher Wu!

Now with the news that Wu Yuchen won the award, Chen Kun's participation in the filming of his My Brothers and Sisters made his classmate Huang Xiaoming very envious. He also hoped that Teacher Wu would find him!

The candidates around them all showed envy when they heard this, and those who were thinking about it had already thought that if they could get into Beijing Film Academy, even if their counselor was not as good as Wu Yuchen, he should be very good, right? This immediately aroused the desire of these people to take the Beijing Film Academy exam.

On the other side, in the girls' dormitory of Yangxi Opera, Zhang Ziyi, Qin Hailu and other girls each held a newspaper in their hands.

Glory to Berlin, China's first Berlin Film Festival Best Director! - China Youth Daily

The 19-year-old director Wu Yuchen returns after winning the Silver Bear for Best Director in Berlin, setting a record at three major film festivals! - Global Times

Run Lola Run won two silver bears, and the youngest Berlin Best Director was born! The rise of the sixth generation of Chinese directors! - China Film News

There were four or five newspapers, and the headlines in the entertainment section of each newspaper were news about Wu Yuchen and Lola Run.

Now these girls are all shocked beyond measure. Because Zeng Li knew that Wu Yuchen was a particularly talented director, he had won the Golden Bear Short Film and Tokyo Film Festival awards one after another.

But their impression of Wu Yuchen is still that of a very talented young director, who cannot compare with a real great director.

And now, looking at the news published in the newspaper that Wu Yuchen won the best director and the jury award for Run Lola Run, their understanding of Wu Yuchen had to be refreshed again.

After all, this is the Berlin Film Festival!

Zhang Yimou also became a major domestic director in one fell swoop with Red Sorghum, which won him the Golden Bear in Berlin.

So is Wu Yuchen, who has won Best Director and the jury now, worse than Zhang Yimou at that time? At least they can be compared together. Isn’t this already a great director?

Zhang Ziyi, who usually likes to make noises, couldn't help but feel funny when she looked at Zeng Li. We were all in the same class, but she had a boyfriend like this. How could anyone compare to her? !

However, the one who felt the most complicated at this time was Mei Ting. She had gone to interview specifically for Run Laura Run, and in the end Wu Yuchen's answer to her was that the image was okay, but the temperament did not match her, and she did not have Laura's indomitable momentum.

At that time, it was over without meeting, but now that Mei Ting saw the news that Run Lola Run won the grand prize in Berlin, a strong regret and regret rose from her heart. Was it because I was still hesitant because the school didn't allow me to go out for filming, which led to my poor performance during the interview?

The more Mei Ting thinks about it, the more she feels that the school's current rule not to allow filming is a constraint on her. Recently, she received an invitation from Director Ye Daying, whom she had worked with before, to audition for the female lead in Red Lover. The male lead is Zhang Guorong. Mei Ting, who was a little hesitant at first, immediately strengthened her confidence and decided to go there even if she dropped out of school. shoot!

Qin Hailu, on the other hand, was shocked by her classmates because of her appearance not long after she entered the school. She showed off her appearance in advance, but she was very tolerant and shouted:

Lizi, don't say anything anymore! If your boyfriend has any suitable side characters in your movies from now on, I can play a small part!

Zeng Li is now immune to the jokes of these roommates, and she can't help but smile while looking at a report about Wu Yuchen's interview in her hand.

Lizi, when will this movie be released? Hu Jing couldn't help but ask.

I can't get it. Some of the plots in it are not in line with mainstream values. Zeng Li shook her head. She had already heard about this from Wu Yuchen.

Ah? I still want to see it!

It's okay. He will be released to our school in a few days.

Really! Then you have to grab a good seat in advance!

At this moment, in the dean's office of Beijing Film Academy, Hou Keming was in a great mood. Two days ago, the Central Theater Company took the initiative to call him, hoping that Wu Yuchen would bring the film to their place for screening. The fact that his old rival came to his door and begged them to go to the screening naturally made him feel particularly happy!

He smiled and said to Wu Yuchen: Xiao Wu, let me tell you something. The school has decided to guarantee you graduate school. You should be mentally prepared.

Wu Yuchen was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: Dean Hou, it's not necessary. I feel like I don't have enough time now. If I were to study in graduate school, it would be really...

Don't cry miserably. How many days have you been studying seriously at school? When was it that you were asked to take a photo shoot without a leave of absence? Hou Keming said angrily.

I'm sorry, I guess I won't be able to catch up with the exam by then. Wu Yuchen felt that there was really no point in studying for graduate school, and he was wasting time.

Okay, you have to study for this postgraduate study. It won't delay your filmmaking. You can arrange a make-up exam when the time comes, but you can't be too confused about the paper. After you write it, many people will definitely want to read it.

Wu Yuchen naturally understood this, so he didn't want to cause trouble. With his current reputation, many people will definitely quote or disparage his papers in the future. He could only write it by himself. Here is Zhai Tianlin's lesson.

Then Hou Keming said: After your movie was screened at the school yesterday, it had a great impact on our teaching group. After we discussed it, we felt that your shooting and editing techniques for Run Lola Run are worthy of our promotion, and we plan to do so in the future. Put it in our lesson plan.”

Seeing this, Wu Yuchen seemed to have to agree even if he didn't agree. He thought for a moment and realized that the school had indeed given him a lot of freedom. Apart from studying for graduate school, it would not affect anything, so he nodded and agreed.

He was not surprised that Run Lola Run was included in the teaching plan. After all, in the previous life, this movie was known as a must-learn subject in the director's class, and it still remains so 20 years later. It is really a classic.

What Hou Keming didn't say was that they still planned to include the film in Beijing Film Academy's admissions exams in the future. Forget it next year. They had to give the film one or two years to spread, and wait until the year after that to officially start.

Hou Keming asked casually: Will you continue filming in the near future?

I don't blame him for asking. In fact, this kid is too prolific, one after another, just like a sow giving birth to piglets.

Wu Yuchen shook his head and said with a smile: I have an idea, but the script has not been completed yet, but I guess I will go out for filming soon or something.

Hou Keming raised his eyebrows: Really? What type is it this time?

I plan to try a love movie. Wu Yuchen was talking about the one he planned to prepare for Jiang Qinqin.

love?

Hou Keming nodded, and then asked: Isn't it something big?

Don't worry, Mr. Hou, we will definitely not pass the standard this time. I also plan to release it in China next year!

Okay, you just need to know what's appropriate. Are you still competing for the prize this time? Hou Keming was curious.

Wu Yuchen shook his head: This is just an ordinary literary and romantic movie, and the big three movies will probably not be interested in it either. It will also be mainly released domestically.

Hou Keming felt a little regretful when he heard that Wu Yuchen was not competing for the prize this time, but when he thought about it, he couldn't always encourage students to make banned films. Wu Yuchen himself was also very creative, so he didn't have to worry about anything if it was within the limits this time. , then said:

Okay, if you want to ask for leave, go to your teacher Xie.

Wu Yuchen's choice to make a love movie naturally has a purpose. The release of Titanic next year will stimulate the entire market's demand for love movies. However, the domestic film industry does not pay attention to love themes at all. There are very few domestic movies with love themes, and when the time comes, the audience will not be able to find them.

At that time, people in the industry will react and start shooting various love themes. In 1999, a number of love movies represented by Yellow River Love will appear.

And Wu Yuchen plans to shoot it in advance this year. When the right opportunity comes next year, it will take off with the love trend caused by Titanic.

As Wu Yuchen has become a famous figure in the school over the past year, and his reputation has improved step by step, he and Jiang Qinqin don't go around the school much anymore. They will always be the object of others' attention. If they pay too much attention, they will feel uncomfortable. .

Jiang Qinqin hugged Wu Yuchen's arm affectionately and said: Shasha is so sorry that she couldn't choose Laura and missed such a good opportunity...

Wu Yuchen glanced at Jiang Qinqin and looked at her envious eyes. He felt that she was talking about Chen Shasha, but she was actually talking about herself, right?

Wu Yuchen raised his finger and scratched her nose, and said with a smile: Don't worry, the script I promised you last time is still being written.

Hearing what Wu Yuchen said, Jiang Qinqin no longer concealed her thoughts: When will the filming take place?

Wu Yuchen thought for a while and said: At least get Xia Tian. Didn't I tell you the story?

Jiang Qinqin nodded, and then asked: Can this movie win the three major awards?

It's hard to say. Winning the award also depends on fate. Wu Yuchen said euphemistically.

Jiang Qinqin pursed her lips when she heard this: That means you can't get it?

She looked obviously a little disappointed, feeling that it was definitely not as good as Lola Run.

Wu Yuchen saw this and said:

I don't know if it will win an award or not. Anyway, it can be shown in theaters and make you a big star. Don't watch Run Lola Run to win an award, but this movie cannot be released, even if it stars the heroine. There’s no way to be popular.”

Jiang Qinqin felt better when she heard what Wu Yuchen said, and a smile appeared on her face. Then she asked Wu Yuchen: Hey, you and your cousin are very close?

Wu Yuchen's heart skipped a beat and he said with a smile: Are you talking about Sister Ran Ran? We are about the same age. We have played together since childhood and we have a very good relationship. What's wrong?

It's nothing, I just saw a photo of you in the newspaper and she still hugged you. After Jiang Qinqin finished speaking, she hugged Wu Yuchen tightly.

Wu Yuchen smiled and didn't answer, thinking that women are really so sensitive. He changed the subject and asked:

Qinqin, our company is preparing to film the TV series The Passionate Years. Do you want to star in it?

The novel The Years of Burning Passion has been published. Jiang Qinqin knew that Wu Yuchen and his father wrote it together, so naturally she read it.

She asked: Who should I play? Shi Jing?

Shi Jing is the daughter of the male and female protagonists in the play, which is considered a second rank.

Wu Yuchen nodded: Yes, Shi Jing actually has a lot of roles, and he is very popular with the audience. He will definitely become popular if he plays the role.

Jiang Qinqin heard this and asked: How long will it take to film?

Wu Yuchen thought for a while: We are actually auditioning now. I estimate that the entire preparation will take more than half a month. I can't say the shooting time, it may take three or four months.

Jiang Qinqin hesitated for a moment, then said: Then doesn't this conflict with filming a movie?

Wu Yuchen nodded: Forget it, just think about the movie.

When Wu Yuchen saw her like this, he knew that she probably didn't want to act. I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, is this little girl being too picky about food now?

If it were an ordinary actress, let's talk about her roommates, she would have to seriously consider such a role.

But now Jiang Qinqin seems to have followed her into movies and seems to look down on TV series.

But Wu Yuchen didn't say anything. If she didn't want to, forget it, as long as she didn't pretend to be angry with him.

This character is very good, a brave and strong female soldier, and she was very popular among the audience after it was broadcast. In fact, Zeng Li was quite suitable, but due to the rule of not being allowed to come out to take roles in the freshman year of Yangzhou Opera, she couldn't be found.

Then just ask Li Xiaoran. If she can't get into Lola Run, it still has an impact on her personally. If I really want to praise people, to be honest, most domestic movies can't compare to TV series.

Thinking of Li Xiaoran, Wu Yuchen smiled. She had gone home these days and finally made some achievements that could prove her. She would definitely show off in front of her parents and save them from worrying in the future.

As the first TV series of Miracle Pictures, Wu Yuchen is quite interested in The Passionate Years.

Brother Lei, who do you think is the most suitable male protagonist as Shi Guangrong?

At this time, Wu Yuchen was sitting together with Kang Honglei and producer Meng Fanyao to discuss.

Judging from the audition results, Li Youbin is better, and he is also very interested in this role.

I also think that Li Youbin, who had that reckless energy and bad temper during the audition, can also perform a tough side, and the salary is not high.

Li Youbin is really not expensive now. He became famous after filming Bright Sword and Enter Guandong one after another, which established his status.

Then let's take Li Youbin. Where's the heroine? Wu Yuchen was quite relieved about Li Youbin and decided directly.

We originally wanted to hire Zhang Kaili for the heroine, but when we asked, we found out that her salary was a bit high.

When Wu Yuchen thought of Zhang Kaili, the first impression that popped into his mind was that of Foot Lijian. This advertisement is really magical and makes people feel a little disgusted.

He put this thing aside in his mind. In fact, Zhang Kaili did become popular very early. In the 1990s, she became famous all over the country as the heroine of the TV series Desire, and she also won awards such as the Golden Eagle Award and the Chunyan Cup.

Last year, she also starred in the movie Military Wife, which won the Five Ones and the Huabiao Award for Best Feature Film. Therefore, Zhang Kaili's current salary is really high.

It's no wonder that they wanted to invite Zhang Kaili. After all, wasn't the heroine of The Years of Passion a military wife?

But it sounds like he didn't invite her here. In fact, Wu Yuchen felt that Zhang Kaili was not really suitable for this role.

Later, many auditions were invited. Now we both have a favorite, and I just want to ask your opinion. Kang Honglei said

Wu Yuchen laughed when he heard it: Tell me about it.

The one I like is Chen Jin. She was born in 1964. She comes from a military family and was assigned to the Air Force Repertory Troupe after graduation. So she knows military wives very well and her temperament suits her very well. She also has rich acting experience and her acting skills are no problem.

Many people may not be familiar with this name, but Wu Yuchen knows that this actress's acting skills are truly incredible. She is known as the female version of Chen Daoming. She is one of the few in China who has won the Golden Rooster, Magnolia, Golden Eagle, and Huabiao Grand Slams. actor. As for her roles that are familiar to the public, such as Su's mother in Everything Is Fine.

Wu Yuchen nodded and looked at producer Meng Fanyao. He smiled and said:

What I like is He Saifei, who was born in 1962. Although she is not a soldier, her acting skills are good. Moreover, her image is better, and she matches Li Youbin better.

He Saifei, even Yang Jiuhong in The Mansion, is also an experienced actor, and his acting skills are really nothing to say.

Wu Yuchen paced back and forth a few times, thinking about the setting of the heroine in The Passion Burning Years, and then said:

I believe in the acting skills of both of them, and there is no need to consider this. But the heroine Chu Qin is a woman as beautiful as a lilac, so she can attract Shi Guangrong to marry her and identify her. So from an image point of view, I think He Saifei More suitable, she is more beautiful. What do you think?

Meng Fanyao gave a thumbs up and agreed with a smile: That's true!

Kang Honglei felt that Chen Jin had the temperament of a military wife, but Wu Yuchen was right. After thinking about it, he agreed: Then let's decide on He Saifei.

Where is Shilin? Wu Yuchen continued to ask.

Shi Lin is the son of the male and female protagonists. He is a rebellious and trouble-making son of a soldier since he was a child. In his previous life, he was played by Huang Haibo, which is also a role that made him stand out.

We just finished auditioning for this role, and we both think the most suitable one is Yin Xiaotian, a junior at the Yangtze River Drama Center.

When Wu Yuchen heard Yin Xiaotian's name, he couldn't help but think of those tea knives. This kid was also careless in making friends. He was originally developing well, but he was attacked by the so-called good brother, who also brought a large number of passers-by to attack him. Although the grievances were finally redressed when the video was released, no one came to him to apologize, including the netizens who scolded him at the time and did not want to admit that they were blind. As a result, his career stalled for several years.

He thought about Yin Xiaotian's image and so on, and it seemed quite suitable, so he nodded in agreement.

Just thinking that this character was Huang Haibo in his previous life, and this time he was replaced by Yin Xiaotian, and both of them had the experience of being cheated, made Wu Yuchen feel a little weird.

I'm so speechless. I even deleted the article about Sword Swordsmanship. I'm so convinced.
