In early September, Zhao Liying entered the film and television performance class of the secondary school department of Beijing Opera and Art Vocational College.

The Academy of Opera stipulates that the annual tuition fee for opera majors is 10,000 yuan, the annual accommodation fee is 750 yuan, and the food fee is self-paid.

Now that opera has declined, few parents are willing to let their children sing operas, and they feel that there is no future.

Moreover, it is hard to learn opera, practice exercises since childhood, and keep your voice full. It is too late for only children to love their children, so they are reluctant to let their children suffer.

Free teaching is a helpless move. When students graduate, few people really insist on performing.

Liu Bei, an actor from Good Dream Company, graduated from Peking Opera major in this school. After graduation in 1985, she was assigned to work as a Peking Opera actor at the Beijing Opera Theater. The next year she resigned and acted in film and television dramas.

Zhao Liying's tuition and accommodation fees are under the responsibility of Haomeng Company, with a monthly living allowance of 500 yuan.

If you only eat in the school cafeteria, five hundred yuan is enough and you can still have a lot of pocket money left.

The expenses required during the study performance, such as costumes and performance expenses, are also reimbursed by Haomeng Company.

In addition, she will film children's dramas from time to time, which will have a certain financial income that can guarantee her life in the capital.

Lin Zixuan controls Zhao Liying's finances and prevents her from having too much money in her hands. She is worried that she will develop the habit of spending money randomly, and will not be too harsh.

Most students in art colleges have good families and are inevitably comparing with each other.

He hopes that Zhao Liying will focus on her studies and have a better future after going to the junior college entrance examination.

Technical secondary schools are quite relaxed in management and are vocational schools themselves. They are teaching purposes to enable students to find employment and allow students to go out to film during school.

Zhao Liying will play the role of a young Xu Xian in "The Legend of the White Snake". There is only one scene, which is the scene of saving a little white snake in her previous life.

This is her first big production.

Good Dream Company held a launch conference for "The Legend of White Snake", and Zhao Liying appeared in front of the media for the first time.

However, media outlets did not pay attention to her, and the reporters were most interested in the starring actors.

After two months of audition, various speculations from the media and the public are finally about to reveal their true colors.

There were set photos of actors on the large poster at the press conference, including Bai Suzhen, Xu Xian and Fahai.

Bai Suzhen was dressed in white, with a green bamboo forest behind her, and Xu Xian was dressed as a scholar. Standing on the broken bridge of West Lake, Fahai held the Vajra Demon-Subduing Pestle, and there were various monsters beside him, acting like a siege.

This poster has been synthesized by computer and has a magical color.

What surprised the reporter was that the actors on the poster were all very young and not well-known.

Especially the heroine Liu Tao, who has never heard of before, should be a newcomer.

Huang Xiaoming, who plays Xu Xian, has some impression of him. He has acted in several dramas, but his reputation is average.

However, Zhang Hanyu, who plays Fahai, is the most famous of the three, and has played some outstanding supporting roles.

Let’s look at other supporting actors. Haiqing and Huang Bo, who play Xiaoqing, have never heard of them much.

Fu Biao plays the role of a butler, and this reporter knows that he is Feng Xiaogang's royal supporting role.

After watching it, I felt that this drama was a newcomer concentration camp and it didn’t look like a big production at all.

Indeed, the new actors signed by Haomeng Company will basically appear in this drama.

Haiqing has not graduated from the film academy yet and was introduced by Huang Xiaoming. Her lively personality is quite suitable for the role of Xiaoqing, so she decided to do so.

Lin Zixuan attended this press conference. This is the annual drama of Haomeng Company and deserves attention.

He sat in the middle, next to him was the director and the starring actors in the play, Zhao Liying and Liu Tao sat together.

The reporters were not familiar with the actors and didn't know how to ask the questions they had prepared, so they had to point the finger at Lin Zixuan and the director.

"Mr. Lin, is it that the play uses young actors to act as starring roles in this drama to avoid comparison with "The Legend of the New White Snake"?" the reporter asked.

"It's not about avoiding it, but about giving young actors a chance." Lin Zixuan responded, "They may be young now, but they will become top-notch actors in China in five or ten years."

"Would it be too risky? Mr. Lin had ever thought about the audience's reaction?" the reporter asked.

"Since I have chosen them, I have confidence in them. I believe they will contribute a wonderful drama to the audience." Lin Zixuan said confidently, "Mr. Ge You was also a newcomer when he starred in "The Story of the Editorial Department". For me, it is not a risk to use newcomers."

Lin Zixuan said this with confidence. He has produced many classic TV series and made a group of newcomers famous.

In the domestic TV drama industry, he is definitely qualified to say this.

"Since Teacher Ge You mentioned, he will play a guest role in the play." Lin Zixuan said.

At this time, the staff put on a poster with a list of guest actors.

The reporters in the audience were shocked by the list above.

From the top, there are Ge You, Feng Xiaogang, Jiang Wen, Zhang Guoli and Wang Zhiwen, and there are Yu Feihong, Xu Jinglei, Xu Fan, Yan Ni and Liu Bei, and Zhang Jiayi and Liu Lin can only be in the third row.

More than a dozen domestic first-line stars made guest appearances, this is a big deal.

Among them, Ge You and Jiang Wen are no longer in TV series, and Yu Feihong and Xu Jinglei are already international movie stars.

Such a luxurious lineup will only appear in "The Story of the Editorial Department" and "I Love My Home" back then.

"The Legend of the White Snake" is not only an annual drama, but also a gift for Li Hong's retirement.

Ge You, Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Guoli and others were all from the Beijing TV Art Center. Li Hong is their old leader, and guest appearances are just a matter of one sentence.

Most other actors are contracted actors from Good Dream Company or good friends in the circle.

Lin Zixuan did this to create momentum for the TV series, and the other was to find it fun. It was not easy for so many actors to take advantage of this opportunity to gather in a drama.

There is no need for too complicated characters, just show your face.

Ge You is the owner of the medicinal material shop, Yu Feihong plays Guanyin Bodhisattva, Jiang Wen is a general in the court, Feng Xiaogang is a fortune teller, Zhang Guoli is a monk, and several female fairies.

As long as the crew is well coordinated and it takes no effort, each person can finish the filming in one or two days.

"These famous actors are willing to be green leaves in the play, just to help young actors grow." Lin Zixuan continued, "I think this is a good phenomenon. Only in this way can young actors develop in order to avoid the situation of being indifferent to the entertainment industry. I hope that the audience can look at young actors with an inclusive attitude and give them a chance."

With these big names, it is difficult not to become popular in "The Legend of the White Snake".

What is a classic? Classics are not created by comparison, but created.

Ten years later, this "Legend of the White Snake" will also be regarded as a classic by the audience.
