Literary Master 1978

Yan University students love to participate in various activities. If there is any disturbance on campus, there will be chaos. Lin Chaoyang has been working at Yan University for almost four years and has become accustomed to the enthusiasm of students to make some noise from time to time.

Listening to the noise outside, he guessed that it might be another social elite who came to the school to participate in the event, which attracted the attention of students.

This kind of thing has happened several times before. If Yan University students are alone, they can maintain the demeanor of students from famous schools, but once there are more people, they can't help but follow the crowd and do everything in a crowded way.

"What happened again?" Du Rong wanted to go out to see the excitement after hearing the noise.

Lin Chaoyang was not interested in these things and went upstairs directly.

He had just sat down for a while when he heard the noise downstairs getting louder and louder, and finally seemed to stop in front of the library building.

Not long after, there was a thumping sound of footsteps downstairs, and Du Rong ran upstairs panting, as if something extraordinary had happened.

"Chao... Chaoyang, hurry... hurry downstairs and take a look!"

"What happened?"

Lin Chaoyang looked at her state and couldn't help but stand up and ask.

"Liu... Liu Xiaoqing is here!" Du Rong excitedly said a name.

"Liu Xiaoqing?"

Hearing this name, Lin Chaoyang's face was full of surprise. He really couldn't figure out why Liu Xiaoqing appeared at Yanda.

"Is she here to give a speech?"

Du Rong shook her head vigorously, "No, no, she said she came to see you."

Lin Chaoyang was even more confused now. Why did she come to see him?

"And Tang Guoqiang is here too." Du Rong added another unexpected name and urged Lin Chaoyang, "You'd better go down and take a look. There are too many people."

Lin Chaoyang went downstairs with her. The students who were studying in the study room and reading room squeezed to the door of the library and looked out.

There were also crowds of people outside. It was unknown how many people had gathered. Anyway, from the inside of the library, there were people everywhere, and there was a trend of increasing numbers.

"These students are too enthusiastic!" Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but complain when he saw this scene.

Under the current situation, he couldn't get out at all.

Du Rong was also worried for him, "These students are really worse than the last one, and they have never seen the world."

Lin Chaoyang wanted to help her recall the way she looked when she went upstairs just now, "Forget it, let them make a fuss first, and wait for the security guards to drive them away."

Lin Chaoyang was too lazy to squeeze with these excited students and chose to stay quietly aside.

Sure enough, after waiting for less than two minutes, the school security was dispatched, and the students were dispersed. Liu Xiaoqing and Tang Guoqiang, who were originally surrounded by three layers inside and outside, also revealed their true faces.

After being surrounded by students for more than ten minutes, the two were in a somewhat embarrassed state. The security guards were afraid that they would continue to stay here and cause trouble, so they came to invite Lin Chaoyang at their request and found a classroom in the Literature and History Building to talk in detail.

When the group walked towards the Literature and History Building, many students were still hanging on from a distance, hoping to have a chance to get close to the movie stars.

Liu Xiaoqing introduced Tang Guoqiang to Lin Chaoyang, and the two exchanged a few pleasantries.

"You two big stars are really attractive. Yan University students are not like this usually."

Liu Xiaoqing has a flamboyant personality and did not feel anything about Lin Chaoyang's teasing. Instead, Tang Guoqiang was a little shy and modest.

When they arrived at the classroom of the Literature and History Building, there were no students watching them, and the two finally explained their purpose.

Liu Xiaoqing first expressed her gratitude to Lin Chaoyang. Zhang Jinling quit "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" and "Behind the Curtain", and she became the one who benefited the most and became the heroine.

Li Hanxiang originally wanted to shoot "Behind the Curtain", but because the script was so good, he couldn't bear to give it up, so it changed from one movie to two. In essence, it still tells the story of how Cixi went from a lowly concubine to ruling behind the curtain and dominating the world.

As the protagonist of the story, Cixi's role and position in the movie far exceed those of others, even the Xianfeng played by Tony Leung Ka Fai cannot compare.

Knowing that she became the heroine, Liu Xiaoqing immediately visited the director Li Hanxiang, and learned from him that it was Lin Chaoyang's recommendation that made Li Hanxiang think of letting her play Cixi.

After thanking her, Liu Xiaoqing talked about Tang Guoqiang again.

The two of them met when they were filming the movie "Little Flower". In 1979, the movie with the highest number of viewers and box office in China was "The Gunshots of the Secret Bureau", but the movie with the greatest impact that year was undoubtedly "Little Flower" produced by Yanying Studio.

This movie is adapted from the novel "Tongbai Heroes", which tells the story of a poor family in Tongbai Mountain area who was forced to sell their biological daughter Xiaohua in 1930.

Later, they adopted a baby girl left by the Red Army. They named the baby girl Xiaohua. More than ten years later, in the smoke of the War of Liberation, the separated relatives finally reunited and wrote a heroic song together.

After the movie was released, it aroused enthusiastic response from all walks of life. Audiences flocked to the cinema in large numbers, forming a strong wave of watching movies.

The story of the brother and sister in the film was deeply imprinted in the memory of a generation.

This movie also successfully made three young actors, Liu Xiaoqing, Chen Chong and Tang Guoqiang, who were still unknown in the film industry at that time, famous, and changed the life trajectories of the three people.

After filming this movie, Liu Xiaoqing was successfully transferred from the Chengdu Military Region Repertory Theatre to Yanying Studio, and successively participated in many movies.

After becoming famous, another female lead, Chen Chong, chose to study abroad.

As the male lead, Tang Guoqiang, with his "Little Flower", not only won the audience's reputation, but also accumulated some awards and honors. He should have become a rising star in the Chinese film industry.

However, Chen Chong joked in an interview that he loved cream, and since then, his reputation as a "creamy boy" has spread like wildfire.

The next year, he happened to play in "The Peacock Prince". In the movie, he was gentle, delicate, fair-skinned, and handsome, which made the title of "creamy boy" spread more widely.

Many girls would put his posters in "The Peacock Prince" in their bedrooms, and Tang Guoqiang became the earliest idol actor in the domestic film industry.

But unfortunately, the aesthetic taste of the Chinese people has not yet become the taste of Koreanization, feminization, and auntization in later generations. Whether on the big screen or the small screen, the popular ones are serious faces and roles with masculine charm.

Tang Guoqiang's image is not feminine, but the hat of "cream boy" directly caused his reputation in the industry to decline rapidly, and his acting career was also overshadowed.

In recent years, the news that director Xie Jin is going to shoot "The Wreath Under the Mountain" has been spreading in the domestic film industry.

Tang Guoqiang came today to get the opportunity to star in the movie "The Wreath Under the Mountain" through Lin Chaoyang.

In the Chinese film industry, whenever Xie Jin's movie is about to start shooting, there will always be a huge discussion. This is the influence of the famous director.

In the actor industry, this shock is particularly great.

Because the opportunity is too rare after all, dozens of film studios in China can only shoot dozens or hundreds of movies a year at most.

And there are so many famous actors in China. Many people only get to play a role every few years. Many actors may not even play a leading role in their entire lives, let alone Xie Jin's movie.

In order to be able to play in Xie Jin's movie, many actors can be said to have done everything possible, and each of them has their own magical powers.

Some called Xie Jin to ask for mercy, some asked for connections, and some asked authority figures to write notes to ask for help...

Tang Guoqiang is also a well-known actor with a good image and temperament. He wanted to ask for a performance opportunity, but he didn't go to Xie Jin, the director, but asked him, the screenwriter, instead. It was a bit like looking for fish in a tree, and Lin Chaoyang didn't understand.

Listening to Lin Chaoyang's confusion, Tang Guoqiang complimented him, "You are really modest. You have produced many excellent works in the literary world, and your works in drama are also well-known."

"Yesterday I went to the People's Art Theater to watch "The First Restaurant in the World" written by you. It is really well written, not inferior to "Tea House" and "Longxugou."

"And "The Shepherd", it has won the love and recognition of so many audiences!"

"I heard before that the two leading actors, Shi Mao and Cong Shan, were recommended to Director Xie by you at the beginning."

Lin Chaoyang waved his hand when he heard this, "Director Xie was optimistic about both leading actors, I just participated in the casting."

Seeing that he expressed his attitude like this, Tang Guoqiang seemed to be refusing to help, and didn't know how to ask for help, so he looked at Liu Xiaoqing for help.

Liu Xiaoqing then said: "Our Director Jiang said that you are a person who is eager to help others and loves talents. Guoqiang's image and acting skills are impeccable, but when the title of "creamy boy" came out in the past two years, many directors were unwilling to use him. It was really an unprovoked disaster."

"He wanted to act in this movie not only because it was directed by Xie Jin, but also because he liked your novel."

"Don't you think Zhao Mengsheng in "High Mountain" is very suitable for him?"

"Guoqiang's image is elegant and handsome, isn't it just like Zhao Mengsheng in the early stage of "High Mountain"?"

"He is today He just didn't have time to grow a beard. I saw him with a beard when I was in the crew. It was rough, but he also had a manly side. Guoqiang is very malleable. "

"He really likes your novel. If you don't believe me, I'll let him recite a passage for you..."

Liu Xiaoqing winked at Tang Guoqiang, and Tang Guoqiang immediately said, "I haven't read the script of "High Mountain". I'll recite a passage of dialogue when Zhao Mengsheng praised Jin Kailai for his merits."

He said, without waiting for Lin Chaoyang to speak, he picked up the tone, saying that he was reciting, but in fact he was performing according to his imagination of the novel.

Tang Guoqiang calmed down first, and then his expression changed, with a bit of sadness, a dim look, and a look of nostalgia in his eyes. It was obvious that he had grasped the feeling of the character.

"If the work is evaluated according to the individual's achievements, our deputy company commander can definitely be rated as a combat hero!"

If he really has a small book of bold words in his pocket, it will be even easier to publicize it!

But when we truthfully wrote down his heroic performance on the battlefield and reported it to the regiment, someone in the regiment said: 'Jin Kailai has always had a low level of thinking and is a complainer. Before the war, he was the deputy company commander, and he said he was going to die! Besides, he died for a bundle of sugarcane, which seriously violated the three major disciplines and eight points of attention. It was not worth dying! '

When Tang Guoqiang opened his mouth, his voice was low and sad. When he was excited, his tone became passionate and his expression became angry.

The dialogue of commending merit was not long. At the end, when he mentioned the contemptuous evaluation of Jin Kailai by the people in the regiment, he seemed to be in the play, and punched his fist hard on the desk, making a bang, full of anger.

This punch really made Lin Chaoyang see some wronged heroic spirit.

After the performance, Tang Guoqiang calmed down and turned to look at Lin Chaoyang.

He saw Lin Chaoyang's face in deep thought, and he felt uneasy.

"I came up with this performance after reading the novel, and it is definitely not as exquisite as what you wrote in the script..."

Lin Chaoyang waved his hand, "The performance is good, the momentum and temperament are all right. But..."

Hearing the word "but", Tang Guoqiang's heart was suddenly hanging.

In fact, after hearing that Xie Jin was going to film "High Mountain", Tang Guoqiang planned to go to Xie Jin in person to recommend himself.

A few days ago, by chance, he met Liu Xiaoqing. At that time, the news that Liu Xiaoqing played Cixi had just been spread. As the two chatted, Tang Guoqiang talked about the idea of ​​recommending himself to play in "High Mountain".

Liu Xiaoqing said that there are at least 800 actors in the country who have gone to Xie Jin through various channels and relationships to recommend themselves. He might not be able to get a number at all if he went. Tang Guoqiang thought it made sense.

But if he didn't recommend himself, what else could he do?

At this time Liu Xiaoqing said to him, "I have a solution!"
