China Entertainment 1997

Chapter 42 Keban and Yeluzi



February 4th, Beijing Railway Station

Cao Xuan picked up Hu Jing who had just gotten off the train and looked her up and down.

"Why do I think your face is round?"

"Nonsense!"

Hu Jing was angry, then touched her soft and white cheeks, and said a little unconfidently: "Maybe I ate too much delicious food during the New Year, and I gained a little weight."

"A little fatter? Are you a little fatter? You are a full stop."

Cao Xuan's venomous remarks frightened Hu Jing so much that she began to train hard to lose weight when she was about to go back. She even refused the reception banquet that Cao Xuan prepared for her.

After renting a car, Cao Xuan took Hu Jing to the hotel he had rented in advance.

Now the neighborhood committee aunt is keeping a close eye on him. Dashizuo Hutong cannot take girls with him for the time being. The Chinese Theater School has not started yet, so they can only let Hu Jing and Zeng Li stay in the hotel.

After entering the room, Hu Jing took a shower and changed clothes. Cao Xuan went out to buy some food for her, and then shamelessly stayed to help Hu Jing review the script.

But before reviewing the script, Cao Xuan first received a fatal question from Hu Jing.

"Can you share with me what it was like to shoot a kiss scene with Pan Jinlian?"

Done!

Cao Xuan was annoyed, how could he forget this? This girl was determined to watch "Water Margin" on the TV.

However, Cao Xuan had a strong psychological quality. After a brief moment of panic, he immediately regained his composure and said calmly.

"I don't feel anything at all. We're not familiar with each other in person. When we were acting, we just kissed each other randomly and just fooled around. It looked ambiguous to you on TV, but it was boring during the actual filming."

"Yeah?"

Hu Jing looked at Cao Xuan suspiciously. Cao Xuan looked calm, then looked closely into Hu Jing's eyes and said seriously.

"Really, I think kissing has to be done with the person you like. Kissing scenes during filming can only be regarded as a kind of work, without true feelings."

Hu Jing blushed a little at Cao Xuan's words and eyes.

She was obviously the one who asked Cao Xuan first, but she was embarrassed first, so she could only make up for it with excuses in embarrassment.

"I've never done a kissing scene before, so I'm a little curious."

"It's okay. There is a kissing scene for you in the MV script this time. I will teach you then."

After saying this, Hu Jing's face turned redder, Cao Xuan smiled, but felt relieved in his heart.

Good guy, I must have improved a lot in my acting skills, otherwise I would have failed today...

After dealing with Ximen Qing's matter, Cao Xuan stopped teasing Hu Jing and seriously discussed the script with her.

The MV starring Hu Jing is "Fairy Tale".

The plot is very simple. Cao Xuan and Hu Jing are a couple. Cao Xuan is a pianist and plays the piano for his girlfriend when he has nothing to do.

His girlfriend was a bit coquettish, but Cao Xuan was willing to pamper her, and the two of them loved each other sweetly until one day, his girlfriend got terminally ill.

Cao Xuan accompanied his girlfriend through the last period of time. In the end, the two people who were in love were separated from each other, and the MV came to an end.

This story may not be new in the future, and may even feel a little tired of being written.

But in this era when Korean dramas have not yet become popular, the terminal illness theme is definitely a big killer, not to mention that it is paired with the sensational song "Fairy Tale", which is simply a tear bomb.

Hu Jing's image is cute and sweet. The death of such a cute girl will arouse the greatest regret from the audience, which is suitable for the heroine in the "Fairy Tale" MV.

The next day, Cao Xuan and Hu Jing went to the train station to pick up Zeng Li, who had just returned to Beijing. After a short rest, they took them to meet the MV director Chen Hanzhu.

This director was recommended to Cao Xuan by Zhang Yibai.

He is an advertising director and has also worked as an assistant director on film and television crews. His ability is not that great, but he is more than enough to shoot a music video.

Facing Cao Xuan, the financial backer, Chen Hanzhu kept a very low profile and summed it up in one sentence.

I will shoot how you tell me to shoot!

Cao Xuan was quite satisfied with Chen Hanzhu's knowledge and interest. He didn't know how to be a director, but compared with the original version, he knew what kind of effect he wanted.

This requires close cooperation with the director. If you encounter a stupid young man who feels that Cao Xuan is interfering with his filming and cannot let go of the director's airs, then the two parties may break up.

So like Chen Hanzhu, he found the right position from the beginning, everyone worked together, and the filming was over early.

………

It's not a regular crew. We set up the staff, found a suitable venue, and after a simple set, we started filming directly.

Chang Li, who had previously said she would come to the set to follow the crew, also showed up at the filming scene as scheduled.

Although this old lady was stubborn, she had nothing to say to the students. She just threw away her family affairs and came to the set with a small bench to protect the students during the Chinese New Year.

But what gave Cao Xuan a headache was that the old lady was cold to him, as if she had stolen her cabbage.

But it should not be said that the crew had a professor from the Department of Chinese Theater Performance in charge, who definitely made a huge profit.

Chang Li directly regarded this MV shooting as a rare internship teaching.

When Hu Jing was filming, she watched from the side and gave real-time guidance. She wrote down everything that needed to be corrected or improved.

During the filming break, Hu Jing and Zeng Li were called aside and taught directly in class.

Cao Xuan followed with a shy face, but Chang Li didn't stop him and occasionally gave him some pointers, which benefited Cao Xuan a lot.

And because of this, Chang Li's impression of Cao Xuan has improved slightly.

She even expressed her pity for Cao Xuan to Hu Jing and Hu Jing in private. Chang Li felt that Cao Xuan was very talented in acting and was considered a good prospect in the 96th class of Chinese Opera.

If you are from a major, your future prospects will be limitless after systematic theoretical study and training.

However, by relying on the wild skills learned here and there, you may be able to become a good actor, but after all, it will be difficult to reach the top ranks of the industry.

Chang Li's words turned around and she was sold to Cao Xuan by Hu Jing, who turned her elbow outward.

After hearing this, Cao Xuan was not discouraged.

He does not deny that most outstanding actors have a professional background, but he also does not believe that it is difficult for a wild actor to become a great actor.

Apart from this, Maggie Cheung, one of the top Chinese actresses, was also born in Yeluzi.

There is also Mr. Zhou, who also has never entered an art academy and is still a three-time Best Actress.

Among the four famous actresses who are as famous as her, apart from Zhang Ziyi, who can dare to compare their acting skills with Mr. Zhou?

Mainland's top actors Li Xuejian, Zhang Guoli, Tang Guoqiang, Li Youbin and others first joined the military art troupe or local theater troupe and honed their acting skills bit by bit in actual combat.

In Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even Europe and the United States, not to mention, there are endless talents and eccentrics with wild backgrounds.

Chang Li is a professor of Chinese opera and a staunch supporter of the academic school.

Cao Xuan didn't want to argue with her about the pros and cons of majors and non-majors. Since he had chosen this path, he could only continue to go down, as to how far he could go.

He only believes that everything depends on man-made efforts!

However, Cao Xuan spoke domineeringly and turned around to squat down next to Chang Li to listen.

There is no other way. Ye Luzi has no master to teach him, so he has to learn to steal his master and gather the best of hundreds of schools of thought before he can beat the martial arts master to death with random punches...

I have seen many book friends complain that there are many typos. In fact, I check every time before publishing, but my brain can be deceiving. I have an impression of what I write, and the correct answer is automatically overwritten when I check it. It is difficult to find typos by myself.

Now I have found a word correction software. The system corrects errors. Of course, there may be errors and omissions. If you find them, just mention them in this chapter. I will correct them when I see them.
