The Golden Age of China Entertainment

Li Zhixin said: "It's not me looking for you, it's Director Wang looking for you, the one who just asked you if you want to act, he is the director of our crew."

Yi Qing was stunned for a moment, the other party was unwilling to give up and left someone here to wait for him.

Li Zhixin went on to say: "That's right. Our crew is currently recruiting actors across the country. Director Wang thinks you have a good image. If you are interested, I would like to invite you to meet tomorrow. This is where our crew lives now!"

Li Zhixin said, took out a note, and handed it over.

Yi Qing really wanted to refuse directly, but when he thought that Li Zhixin had been waiting for him at the door for so long, he felt a little embarrassed, so he took it anyway.

After completing the task, Li Zhixin said goodbye to Yi Qing and left on his bicycle.

Yi Qing originally wanted to say "Think about it", but before he could say anything, he left.

Opening the note, I glanced at it by the light of the street lamp, my good guy, it's far enough away from the Old Summer Palace.

I didn't take it seriously, rode my bike, and went home.

The place where Yi Qing lives is not too far from the hotel where he works. If he rides a bicycle, it takes only ten minutes. , he was lucky, before his rebirth, the original owner had prepared everything for him.

Clanking and carrying the bicycle into the yard, the inside is pitch black, and this is where Yi Qing is most happy after his rebirth.

A set of detached courtyard houses.

The ancestors of the original owner were once rich, but later their family fell into decline, and moved from a high-rise compound to this small courtyard. His parents are both cadres, and the original owner is also a second generation. In the countryside, this courtyard house was also requisitioned, and later the policy was implemented. Thanks to the help of Yi's father's former friends, the courtyard house was able to be brought back in its entirety.

Having gone through a special period, coupled with the fact that many domestic laws are not sound, especially the property rights, which is even more chaotic. Yi Qing has heard a lot of news about the sale of courtyard houses in his previous life, and basically few of them have complete procedures. of.

That's why Yi Qing felt even more lucky. Just such a courtyard house covering an area of ​​more than 300 square meters could have cost more than 4000 million yuan at least in his day.

As soon as you enter the courtyard, facing south, there are five main rooms in a row, side rooms on the east and west sides, and a row facing the street. After rebirth, there were people who came to rent here, but they were all rejected by Yi Qing. There are also many things where the tenants refuse to leave, and the homeowner is sitting on a golden mountain but can only look at the money and sigh. Yi Qing doesn't want to cause trouble for herself.

When Yi Qing woke up, the yard had been ruined by the original owner. After all, he was young, and there was no one else in the house, so there were few people to put it back. It took Yi Qing three months to complete his house. A small world was cleaned up.

After putting the car away, Yi Qing entered the house and turned on the stove first. Although it was early spring, the cold weather in Beijing was still very cold at night.

Gradually, the room became warmer, took off his military overcoat, and fell on the bed. Yi Qing remembered the note again, and was about to throw it aside, so he couldn't help being stunned.

Back in 208, the whole room was filled with aura of old people, Yi Qing hadn’t noticed it yet, but now he was sober, thinking about the person he was talking to today, he suddenly felt that he seemed to meet somewhere Pass.

He is not tall, thin, with a set of eyes, speaks slowly and softly, and is recruiting actors from all over the country.

Yi Qing sat up suddenly, he finally remembered who that person was.

Wang Fulin!

In other words, the TV series that is recruiting actors is ~~~~~ A Dream of Red Mansions!

Chapter 3 Selection

After being reborn, Yi Qing asked for leave for the first time. Riding a bicycle, her feet seemed to be on a hot wheel, and she rushed all the way to the address Li Zhixin gave him yesterday.

Yi Qing didn't sleep well last night. In two lifetimes, he discovered for the first time that there are multiple-choice questions in life. In his previous life, his life of more than 30 years can be said to be very ordinary. After that, I learned a craft for my living, and then went to and from work.

After reliving a new life, Yi Qing found out that the original owner of his life had already made a choice for him, and he didn't resist. He couldn't say how much he liked the job of chef, and of course he didn't reject it. I have long been used to it.

If he hadn't met the guests at the table at 208 yesterday, and without that note, perhaps Yi Qing's life would have continued step by step like in his previous life. A daughter-in-law who can live a lifetime, bear children, until she dies of old age, or God favors and gives him another chance to be born again.

But after thinking about it, this possibility is unlikely, and God's pie can't greet a person's head.

But Wang Fulin's words and the note Li Zhixin handed over made his heart come alive.

Yi Qing doesn't know how to act, nor is he a fan of dramas. In his previous life, he did like watching movies, but it was just a hobby for the audience. Maybe if it were another person, another drama, he would just treat it like nothing. Happened, and quickly forgot about it.

But Wang Fulin and "Dream of Red Mansions" are obviously different.

Yi Qing watched the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" countless times in her previous life. Generally speaking, it is difficult for an old man to watch TV dramas that show love between children, but Yi Qing is an exception.

Once in a dream, never wake up.

Although the screenwriter Zhou Ling repeatedly emphasized in an interview later that the purpose of the Red Chamber in the end is to wake people up from their dreams, but few can really do it.

Arriving in front of the guest house, without any hesitation, Yi Qing stepped in.

"Comrade! Hello! Is the crew of "A Dream of Red Mansions" here? Director Wang asked me to come here."

Said handing over the note.

In fact, it has been more than a year since CCTV launched the "Dream of Red Mansions" project, and the clerks in the guest house are naturally no strangers. After hearing what Yi Qing said, he picked up the phone and dialed a number, said a few words, and looked Yi Qing up and down. Fan.

"Little comrade, you wait here first, someone will come down to pick you up later!"

Yi Qing thanked him, and stood at the stairs. After a while, a tall middle-aged man walked down quickly. Yi Qing looked over. He also knew this person. He had appeared in the red building reunion activities many times. , Zhou Ling, was also one of the screenwriters at the beginning of the "Dream of Red Mansions" crew.

"You are Yi Qing!?"

Yi Qing nodded: "Hi, I'm Yi Qing, Director Wang asked me to come here!"

Zhou Ling stared at Yi Qing up and down for a while, nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Okay! Okay! Director Wang mentioned you when he came back yesterday. Come with me. Director Wang is on the third floor!"

Yi Qing didn't say much, and followed Zhou Ling up the stairs. When he passed the second floor, he heard an angry voice coming from a room.

"The hierarchy is strict, the upper and lower levels are high and low. Although the story of the Red Chamber does not specify which dynasty or generation it is, the author Cao Xueqin lived in the early Qing Dynasty. Some ethical concepts in the story were compiled with reference to the Qing Dynasty. , it didn’t exist in the Ming Dynasty!”

Yi Qing couldn't help but stop when he heard this, Zhou Ling smiled and said, "This is an actor recruited by the crew to give lectures, and the lecturers are all Hongxue masters."

Yi Qing nodded. He naturally knew about this. When the crew of the Red Chamber reunited in the future, they mentioned many times that before the filming of "Dream of Red Mansions", two training courses were held in the spring and summer of 1984. The most important thing is to let the actors get familiar with the Red Mansion, understand the Red Mansion, and at the same time teach piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and cultivate their sentiments.

To put in so much effort is just to make a film, which is simply unimaginable in the future.

This is also the reason why the 87 version of Dream of Red Mansions can become a classic in the end, while the various later versions can only become jokes. It is because these people are now in awe of the great work "Dream of Red Mansions", At the same time, in order to make a good film of this national classic, I have a strong sense of responsibility.

As the two walked up, Zhou Ling introduced Yi Qing: "Xiao Yi, have you seen "A Dream of Red Mansions"?"

Yi Qing nodded: "Look, my grandfather and father are fans."

Of course, Yi Qing was talking about his father and grandfather in his previous life. He liked "Dream of Red Mansions", and in fact he was influenced by his father and grandfather.

If a person has been chanting the same story in his ear since he was a child, even the dullest person will be fascinated. This is the case for Yi Qing. The understanding is obviously better than that of ordinary people.

Zhou Ling said with a smile when he heard the words: "In other words, Director Wang is really looking for you when he comes to you!"

The crew has already recruited many actors, but those young people didn't know much about the book "Dream of Red Mansions" before joining the crew.

After all, in that special era, the Red Chamber, a literature about the love between children and children, was to be criticized as a poisonous weed.

While talking, the two of them had already arrived at the door, Zhou Ling didn't knock on the door, just pushed the door open and walked in, the inside was filled with smoke, Yi Qing hesitated for a few seconds before following in, took a closer look, they both met yesterday in 208 The person sitting facing the door is Wang Fulin, the director of the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions".

"Director Wang! Hello!"
