Zhang Yimou took a look at the list and wondered if he could put it on the table. Chen Weiya frowned slightly. Some were surprised, some were disdainful, and some were gloating. They were waiting to hear Sun Tao's explanation. Of course, they thought that no matter how he explained, it was useless. This time, this young man People are going to stumble.
……
Everyone in the monitoring room was also confused.
"Wang Dong, Wang Dong, quickly, explain what is going on."
Wang Dong chuckled, "This is not within the scope of our authority. The superiors have given orders for a long time. Our job is to ensure that the performance plan is not leaked."
Li Qi stretched out her legs and kicked Wang Dong's chair, "What the hell, the list was just left in your car. You couldn't bear to look at it. Are you kidding me?"
Wang Dong, "Discipline, do you understand discipline? Comrade, I think you should memorize the safety rules a few more times. Team leader, what do you think of my opinion..."
……
Everyone was silent for a moment before Chen Weiya spoke first, "Sun Tao, tell everyone about the 'Olympic Babies', your selection criteria and the specific arrangements for each of them."
Zhang Yimou was drinking tea from a cup. Hearing this, he put the cup down and sat upright, staring at Sun Tao.
Tian Lei from the Folk Art Association suddenly interjected in a cold voice, "Yesterday we had five interviewers, but judging from the results, Lao Zhou and the others were just there to accompany them. Director Sun, I hired these people. , you have to give a reasonable reason!”
Sun Tao glanced at Tian Lei, and his experience told him that the more you ignore someone like this, the more you ignore him.
Sun Tao smiled at Tian Lei and nodded.
This nod made Tian Lei confused.
Sun Tao turned around and tapped the list in his hand, "Haha, I know everyone thinks I'm doing it for personal gain. Among these 25 people, there are seven from the Film Academy, four from the 2002 class, and three from the 2003 class. are actually my classmates..."
"Director Sun, seven doesn't seem like a lot, but when we look at the application form, it seems that only seven people have signed up for the Film Academy. You are not missing any one!"
Everyone suddenly became quiet, their playful expressions softened, and everyone seemed to have no idea.
No one is missing, which seems to allude to Zhang Yimou's "No One Can Be Missed". This is not only dissatisfaction with Sun Tao, but also with Zhang Yimou who assigned the screening task to Sun Tao.
The speaker's name is Yu Haizhi, an official official and a leader of the Yanjing City Propaganda Office.
……
Zhang Yimou didn't even turn his head. Everyone could tell that Yu Haizhi was yin and yang, but he didn't feel it at all.
Sun Tao didn't answer, and continued: "There are 8 people from China Opera, 4 from Beijing Dance, 2 from National University for Nationalities, and 4 from other schools. In my impression, the two from National University were also selected..."
After finishing speaking, Sun Tao looked up at everyone, his eyes paused on the faces of Yu Haizhi and Tian Lei, and continued: "I respect the opinions of the other judges for the four Beiwu contestants, mainly because their image and temperament are more in line with the requirements." < br>
Just as Tian Lei was about to interrupt, Sun Tao blocked him back, "Some selection conditions cannot be stated in advance. What I want is their most natural facial expressions when they are nervous.
Why are seven people from the film academy selected? First, of course, their dancing skills are not bad; second, they are able to manage their expressions well whether they are criticized or ridiculed. There are many reasons for the number of selected people in Chinese dramas. That's it; thirdly, if it must be said that they all have camera faces, this has been certified by many teachers during their entrance exams. ”
Zhang Yimou picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He looked at Sun Tao with a smile and said solemnly: "The key to the eight-minute performance is the performance! We don't have high requirements for dancing, and we have enough time. As long as the basic skills are almost practiced, it should be fine, but Acting depends on talent, nervousness, stiff expression, no matter how good you are at dancing.”
Tian Lei "popped" and put the list on the table, "Then this isn't toying with people. Lao Zhou and the others were busy grading and commenting after a meal, and their emotions created an atmosphere of tension for others...#@ #”
"Old Tian, pay attention to your attitude! What's wrong with the Olympics, a major event that fulfills a century-old dream and demonstrates the country's prestige? If you contribute a little, you will be wronged!" The speaker was Zhang Yu, a researcher from the Ministry of Culture who had never spoken much and was coordinating all parties in the director group. (It’s not the singing one, it’s a popular name, and the rate of duplication of names is extremely high.)
Tian Lei shrank his neck and curled his lips.
Yu Haizhi looked at Zhang Yu and said nothing.
……
In the monitoring room.
Li Qi looked around curiously, "Hey, Director Zhang and Director Sun said something about how to choose people, but I think they've never heard of it."
"I definitely didn't say that." "I didn't hear it either."
"Haha, in fact, even the chat records between Director Sun and Li Wei didn't mention anything about acting and camera sense."
"Wouldn't it be better to choose a film school..."
The team leader, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interjected lightly, "Have you ever thought about it? I heard that many directors shoot movies without any plan, and there are even actors who only found out that they didn't even have a script when they entered the set."
< br>
Wang Dong, "Oh, there were also actors who complained that after finally writing down the dialogue, when filming started the next day, everything was suddenly different."
Li Qi looked at Sun Tao on the surveillance camera, "Oh, inspiration comes and goes quickly. My previous ideas suddenly changed when I arrived at the scene."
……
In fact, Sun Tao would not tell anyone that he originally did not want to choose Chu Yinan, but on the day of the interview, he suddenly saw a girl who was usually a bit conservative wearing a white bodysuit doing splits, doing splits, and tumbling in front of him. Thinking about how many times her feet touched her key parts during practice.
After choosing Chu Yinan, it makes sense to choose other film school girls who performed better. The reasons were all made up by Sun Tao later.
But what Sun Tao didn't know was that half of the real Olympic treasures did come from Beiying, and he coincided with Lao Mouzi.
……
Sun Tao did not refute Tian Lei and Yu Haizhi's accusations. Seeing that they remained silent, he continued: "About this dance...Director Zhang only had a vague request before. When I was selecting the person, I had an idea. Let’s talk.”
Zhang Yimou suddenly raised his head at this time, as if he and Sun Tao were the only two people in the venue, "Let's talk."
"Director Zhang told me his idea the day before yesterday. I understand that his idea is to split a program into three components. First, the costume show, second, the traditional folk music display, and the third is the dance performance. , the 'Olympic babies' will dance to the music
Oh, by the way, look at the list, the 25 girls selected are all good at musical instruments.
Although Tang Xiaoyuan is only a high school student, her Duxianqin major is level 10. Wang Jia, Li Danni, Zhou Yang, Wen Guiyu, Chen Yue, and Li Xuejing are all good at the pipa; Tang Xiaoyuan, Chu Yinan, Yin Xiaojie, Shen Jiani, Tang Yan, the musical instrument these people are good at is the erhu, while the musical instrument Jiang Jing and Tian Tian are good at is the drum..."
Chen Weiya was puzzled: "But how do we integrate the three aspects of clothing, dance, and performance? Of course there is no problem with clothing and dance, but the problem lies in the performance."
Zhang Yimou was confident, "You can hold the erhu and pipa in your arms, and the drum..." He stood up and gestured to make a stand. He looked at Lao Lin, who was in charge of logistics, "Okay."
When Lao Lin was about to answer, Sun Tao interjected, "It's too cumbersome and unnecessary. I think they should be divided into two groups, one light and one dark. The dance group dances under the light, the performance group plays in the dark and then switches between light and dark, switching identities. You can imagine the flying sky in Dunhuang..."
When Sun Tao really set his mind to do something, he felt it and figured it out. In any case, Zhang Yimou was definitely the person who least wanted to mess up the performance, so he had no worries and no longer considered whether he should let Zhang Yimou go along with it. Continue with the original idea and try to turn the tide on your own...
Maybe I won't be able to earn merit in front of the boss, but at least the performance will be better than before.
Wang Dong in the monitoring room looked at Sun Tao silently. He had already inadvertently probed into Sun Tao's thoughts during this week's contact. He thought Sun Tao might take the blame, but he didn't expect that this kid actually put the overall situation first...
< br>
Regardless of the small ideas and different factions represented, the directors here are all real professionals.
Chen Weiya, "It's a good idea, but is "Jasmine" going to be such a big battle?"
Zhang Yimou, "..."
Sun Tao, "China is not the only one with "Jasmine". It is definitely a failure to perform the same piece twice in eight minutes."
Yu Haizhi smiled and said, "Oh, what do you think, Director Sun, does it count as a failure?"
Sun Tao looked at Zhang Yimou, "Director Zhang and I recommended "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Formation" before. Director Zhang said that the murderous spirit was too strong and not suitable for the Olympics. I have been thinking about a piece of music these past two days."
"Hey, this is the Olympic stage, little comrade, you have to think clearly and think about a song."
"That's right, young people don't know the importance..." (End of Chapter)
