494 [Player Liu Xun]
After the test and the styling was set, Xu Ke did not start filming immediately, but took Chung Chuhong, Ye Tong, Lin Qingxia and others to the China Academy of Opera for two months of basic training.
Because in this drama, Ye Tong's setting is a girl who has lived in a troupe since she was a child and dreamed of performing on stage. She has also performed on stage many times in the movie, so she must have a certain level of opera skills so that the effect of the filming can be better.
Chung Chuhong also has a plot to perform on stage. If the performance is too bad, it is not possible, so she must study it seriously. As for Xia Tian and others, because they only have the last scene to play, even if they perform poorly, it is normal, so this time they just go there to get familiar with it.
When I came to the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts and the Chinese Academy of Opera, Xia Tian was surprised to see a familiar face.
"Mr. Xia, Director Xu, Mr. Liang, Ms. Lin, Ms. Zhong, Ms. Ye... Welcome to our Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts. I am the dean of the Chinese Academy of Opera, and my name is Cheng Gai." A man greeted with a smile, "This is Mr. Liu Xun, a lecturer at our Chinese Academy of Opera. He started learning Peking Opera since he was six years old. In 1958, he was transferred to the Chinese Academy of Opera as a lecturer. Li Wanchun, Shang Heyu, and Gai Zhitian have guided him. In 1980s, he came to Hong Kong from Beijing and has taught in our college for five years and has been widely praised."
"It's him, indeed." Xia Tian said happily.
Liu Xun is Xu Ke’s favorite actor. The two started working together from "The Legend of the Sword and Horse Dan", and then to "A Chinese Ghost Story 2", "Huang Feihong", etc., and have collaborated on as many as fifteen movies.
As a well-known Hong Kong director, Xu Ke naturally has high requirements for actors. Liu Xun can collaborate with him for fifteen dramas, obviously his acting skills must be very high, and outstanding performance can make Xu Ke satisfied.
In fact, Liu Xun is indeed a drama master with superb acting skills. The insidious and cunning, arrogant and domineering Eunuch in "The Swordsman"; Pudu Cihang, who is hypocritical and insane in "The Ghost Story of Age 2"; Zen Master Bai Yun, a master of Taoism who eliminates the devil and saves the people in "The Ghost Story of Age 3"; The cute old man Huang Qiying, who is loyal to tradition and dares to innovate in the series, etc., different characters, different personalities, and decent villains can all be portrayed in a vivid and vivid way, which is really amazing.
Even if they are all playing "eunuchs", the eunuch Gu Jinfu in "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer", Jia Ting, the big boss of the East Factory in "New Longmen Inn", and the Eunuch Li in "The Nine-Class Sesame Official: White Bread Blue Sky", are all different, fully demonstrating Liu Xun's superb acting skills.
"There are more contacts and contacts with veteran actors like this." Xia Tian thought to himself.
To see how strong a team is, bench players are also very important in addition to how many celebrity players there are. The number of stars in the world's film industry is already very large, including first-line young actors Zhou Runfa, Liu Dehua, Liang Jiahui, Lin Zhengying, etc., first-line actresses Chung Chuhong, Hu Huizhong, Wang Qixian, Zhao Yazhi, Mei Yanfang, etc.
However, in terms of second-tier actors, they are now quite lacking. If you want to film, you have to borrow from other companies. For example, Zeng Qian is now an artist of TVB; Qin Pei, who plays the "Hua Jinxiu" boss, is also an artist of TVB; Wu Ma, the headmaster of the opera troupe, is an artist of the Hong family class; Huang Ha, the general surnamed Duan, is also a member of the Hong family class...
Although second-tier actors do not have the box office appeal of first-tier stars, second-tier actors are actually more important than first-tier stars when filming. Because first-tier stars generally have almost no acting skills. If they do not have second-tier actors with superb acting skills, the whole drama will be a bad movie.
...
Xia Tian was thinking about having a good talk with Liu Xun after the training. Not to mention signing him into the company, he had to sign at least a dozen or twenty pieces of the film. Then there would be no worries about no one to use the filming.
At this time, Liu Xun had already started teaching.
"Student, please be careful when listening and don't get distracted during class." Liu Xun came over and knocked on the table in front of Xia Tian with a teaching stick.
"Ah, I'm sorry, teacher." Xia Tian was shocked and quickly stood up and apologized.
Seeing that his first class boss was taught a lesson like a primary school student, the few present couldn't help laughing. Unexpectedly, there were still people in Hong Kong who dared to cure him.
Cheng Gai looked out the window and saw that Liu Xun dared to teach Xia Tian a lesson. He couldn't help but see that he was dark.
Xia Tian is now the number one person in the Hong Kong film industry, with the strongest strength and the highest reputation. Even Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai are at a disadvantage. It is too late for the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts to curry favor with such a VIP, so you dare to teach him a lesson? Oh my, the trouble is so big!!!
In horror, he immediately went to the dean to report.
In the classroom, Liu Xun saw that Xia Tian had admitted his mistake, so he did not pursue it anymore. He nodded, returned to the podium, and continued to talk.
Summer is listening while taking notes.
But Chung Chuhong laughed secretly and said, "Ah Tian, do you have times of being defeated?"
"This is not called being defeated, it is called respecting the teacher and respecting the Tao." Xia Tian said whispered.
"Don't whisper in class." Liu Xun reminded him again.
Xia Tian quickly closed his mouth and continued to write quickly.
Chung Chuhong stuck out her tongue awkwardly. It has been more than ten years since she graduated from middle school. She didn’t expect that she would be taught a lesson by the teacher again today. This feeling is really novel!!
Seeing that the teacher was so strict, even Xia Tian and Cherie Chung were taught a lesson, they didn't dare to make trouble now, and they all listened carefully.
...
Liu Xun was giving a theoretical lesson on the podium, mainly explaining what the meaning of "Damama Dan" means. From the origin to the genre to the famous actors, he was talking with relish, but at this moment, someone waved at the door.
Liu Xun was stunned. Seeing that it was the dean, he had to stop and said, "Everyone should check the notes first, let's talk about them later." After that, he walked out.
"Boss, you were so embarrassing just now~" Ye Tong said with a smile as soon as Liu Xun left.
After hearing what she said, Lin Qingxia, Liang Jiahui, Zhong Chuhong and others couldn't help laughing again.
"A Tian, you haven't experienced this kind of experience of being taught a lesson for a long time, right?" Chung Chuhong also asked with a smile.
Since he became famous for his directing "The Flying Man" two years ago, he has been making great progress. He is now the number one person in the Hong Kong film industry. It is too late for others to curry favor with him, so how dare he teach him a lesson?
Xia Tian smiled, "You shouldn't be distracted in class. It's my fault. You have to admit it even if you get scolded."
"The boss is so generous, I might not be able to bear it anymore." Ye Tong said with a smile.
At this moment, I saw the dean of the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts, the dean of the Chinese Academy of Opera and others hurried over with Liu Xun.
"Mr. Xia, I'm sorry, Teacher Liu was reckless just now. I asked him to apologize to you." The dean said sincerely, and then ordered Liu Xun, "Why don't you apologize to Mr. Xia."
Liu Xun's face was stiff and he looked reluctant. He stood there and did not take action.
"What are you waiting for?" The dean couldn't help but scold him again when he saw it.
Xia Tian was stunned. Where did you sing this?!
"What apologize?" he asked in confusion.
"Mr. Xia, he dared to teach you a lesson just now. It's really not right. You are a lot of sir. Please forgive him this time." The dean said hurriedly.
When Xia Tian heard this, he quickly waved his hand with a smile, "Director is so rude. What happened just now is my fault. I shouldn't be distracted during class. Mr. Liu taught me a lesson. How could I blame him?"
"You really don't blame him?" the dean asked in surprise when he heard this.
"Since I am sitting in the classroom, I am a student. If I make a mistake, it is appropriate to be taught by the teacher. How can I blame others? Besides, the teacher teaches students to prove that the requirements are strict and that my tuition fees are not paid in vain. I am too happy, so how can I get angry?" Xia Tian waved his hand and said.
"Oh, Mr. Xia, you are really a big man. You can hold a boat in your stomach." The dean said in great admiration when he heard this.
A movie tycoon like Xia Tian is arrogant and famous at a young age. He should be arrogant and domineering. Unexpectedly, he is so humble and cautious, respecting his teachers and respecting his teachings, which really makes him admire him.
When Liu Xun saw that Xia Tian did not pursue him, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised and had a good impression of this young man.
Just now, he was called out by the dean and scolded him hard. Only then did he realize that this young man, who is not young and in his early twenties, is the highest-ranking person in his class. He is not only a Hong Kong film tycoon, but also a super rich man with a net worth of billions.
After learning about Xia Tian's identity, Liu Xun was really amazed. In the mainland, he graduated from university at the age of 20 and just started working. However, Xia Tian has already made amazing results. The billions of Hong Kong dollars are probably the output value of state-owned factories for several years.
"Hong Kong is really a place for talent." Liu Xun couldn't help thinking.
But when he heard that he had to apologize to him, Liu Xun was reluctant. No matter how high Xia Tian’s status is and how rich his wealth is, it was useless. Since he came to learn opera from him, he was his master and had the responsibility and obligation to teach him. It was wrong for him to be distracted in class. What’s wrong with teaching him a lesson?!
In the old age, those fans were also rich and powerful, and those of the Eight Banners were all rich and powerful. But if you want to learn opera with everyone, you must also be etiquette of students.
A person should not be arrogant, but he should not be without pride. It is absolutely impossible to apologize.
But the situation is stronger than that of others, so he was still brought to Xia Tian and wanted to bow and apologize.
Unexpectedly, Xia Tian was so polite and didn't ask him to apologize at all, which made Liu Xun feel very good about him. If he hadn't learned anything else, he would have really wanted to accept him as his disciple and teach him his lifelong arts.
"Oh, what a pity." Liu Xun said regretfully.
"Teacher Liu, why don't you thank Mr. Xia quickly." The dean said hurriedly when he saw that Liu Xun was still in a daze.
"No need, no need." Xia Tian hurriedly stopped him.
