Chapter 47: This monkey is very spoiled
I celebrated the Spring Festival in my previous life, and after the first day of the lunar calendar, I just passed the year, and the flavor of the year will basically disappear by the second day of the lunar calendar. Nowadays, the Lunar New Year is obviously much more grand.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Bei sent off Ma Saner and Ma Ganer who were heading south, and also wanted to pick up the station.
It was agreed a year ago that the Zhang family and his son came to Beijing today.
Wrapped in a military coat, I waited in the square for an hour, my lips were about to be frozen purple. Finally, I saw the father and son of the Zhang family walking out of the platform, and there was a young man with them. After a closer look, it was the last time
Zhang Jinyuan, a young boy named Qiling, whom he had met in Shaoxing.
Originally, it was the candidate for Zhu Bajie recommended by Teacher Zhang to Yang Jie, but unfortunately, Ma Dehua is already there, so I can only say sorry.
"Three Teachers Zhang, here, here."
Gu Bei rubbed his face twice and shouted loudly. The train station was noisy and shouted a few times, which finally attracted the attention of the Zhang family father and son brother.
"Let's wait for a long time!"
Although Teacher Zhang is a national treasure-level opera artist, he has no airs at all and is polite when speaking angry.
"No, I just came."
If Gu Bei didn't tremble when he was talking, the Zhang family and his son might have believed it.
"Teacher Zhang, Director Yang has an important meeting this morning and afternoon. I will arrange for me to pick you up three of you. I will meet you tomorrow."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."
Teacher Zhang smiled and didn't seem to worry about the role at all.
The weather was too cold, so Gu Bei helped to get his luggage and then got on the bus together. The station had already issued a certificate and the three of them were arranged to move into the Third Guesthouse, which is considered a cooperative unit of CCTV.
All the actors who came to audition before lived here.
He kept helping to settle down, but Gu Bei left. He should have had a make-up date today, but it was delayed for most of the day because of picking up the person.
Seeing that it was still early, Gu Bei went to the yard of Baihua Hutong and bought it since he bought it. Gu Bei had only been here a few times and cleaned it inside and out.
It’s really not possible that the house has not been lived in for a long time, and Gu Bei can’t move here now.
I originally wanted to hire a tenant to help see the house, but I was afraid that I would end up occupying the nest. Now this is not uncommon, so it is best to be careful.
I can only find a way later.
As soon as he arrived at the unit the next day, Gu Bei was arrested by Yang Jie and went to the guesthouse to meet the father, son, uncle and nephew of the Zhang family.
Just as I registered at the door and was about to go upstairs, Gu Bei turned around and saw Teacher Zhang walking upstairs with four thermos bottles.
"Teacher Zhang!"
The old man turned around and saw Yang Jie and Gu Bei, and nodded with a smile: "Director Yang, Comrade Gu, he came so early!"
Yang Jie was puzzled: "Teacher Zhang! Didn't the waiter here fetch you water?"
The old man smiled and shook his head: "I've beaten. I'm taking a bath for Jinlai. I've developed a habit of having sex. I'll take a bath after waking up."
Well……
Hearing this, Gu Bei was speechless.
Yang Jie's heart was even more shocked. Zhang Jinlai was in his twenties and wanted his 60-year-old father to take a bath water?
"Teacher Zhang, do you give Jinlai a bath water? How many times do you need to run like this?"
The old man was still smiling, as if he didn't see that Yang Jie's face was not right.
"No more or more, two trips are enough."
"Two trips, then he..."
The old man reacted now and quickly explained: "Jin Lai has been weak since childhood and is favored at home. He basically can't take care of himself. After work, he has to take his clothes back home from Hangzhou for his mother to wash them.
”
This is awesome!
He is clearly a big master!
No matter whoever is, as long as you arrive at the preparation team of "Journey to the West", Yang Jie's first thing is to give the other party a vaccination and prepare for hard work.
If Zhang Jinlai couldn't even take care of himself, in the next few years, would the crew have to invite someone to take care of him?
Gu Bei was also stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Monkey Brother was so cute.
Just as he was thinking about how to talk to Teacher Zhang, Yang Jie blurted out: "If he can't endure hardship, he can still..."
Teacher Zhang seemed to understand what Director Yang Jie meant and quickly said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. His brother is here and he will take care of him!"
After hearing this, Yang Jie and Gu Bei finally realized after a while that the brother Mr. Zhang was talking about was Zhang Jinyuan, the young seventh-ling boy!
It turns out that he is still responsible for taking care of his cousin's life.
After Teacher Zhang finished speaking, he carried the thermos to the stairs, but Yang Jie stayed there and looked at Gu Bei and asked, "Can you still play Sun Wukong so delicate?"
This is not so much about asking Gu Bei, but rather asking herself.
"Director Yang, it's better to take him back to Taiwan first and let the leaders see it, and then decide after reading it!"
Gu Bei could see that Director Yang Jie's heart was shaken.
The crew can't afford to raise a monkey who is too slutty.
"Okay, I won't go up. Go and tell Teacher Zhang, and we'll set off later."
Gu Bei agreed and turned around.
When Zhang Jinlai finished taking a shower, Yang Jie had been waiting downstairs for half an hour.
On the way back to CCTV, Yang Jie didn't say anything. Perhaps the old lady was weighing the pros and cons of the matter at this moment, so she would not disturb her.
When they arrived at the stage, Yang Jie invited two deputy directors, Hong Minsheng and Ruan Ruolin, to review the monkey movements performed by Zhang Jinlai and a small clip of a stage play in the conference room.
Compared with the last time I was in Shaoxing, Zhang Jinlai has made significant progress during this period, and Teacher Zhang must have spent a lot of effort.
After watching it, Hong Minsheng and Ruan Ruolin also expressed their satisfaction, but Hong Minsheng said he didn't like Zhu Bajie, who was playing the role, and the reason he gave was still too thin.
Fortunately, the crew has already chosen Ma Dehua and will come to Beijing in a few days.
The monkey was decided, and then Yang Jie personally told Teacher Zhang about the happy news, and Gu Bei followed him. It can be seen that Teacher Zhang was both happy and a little disappointed.
Perhaps it was because I originally planned to let Zhang Jinyuan join the group so that the idea of someone taking care of Zhang Jinlai could not be realized when he was in the crew.
Seeing that Teacher Zhang was this reaction, Yang Jie's expression became solemn: "Teacher Zhang, if Jin Lai wants to play Sun Wukong well, not only must he be good at professional skills, but he must also be prepared to endure hardships."
If this problem cannot be solved, Yang Jie would rather bear the pain of substitution than want a young master in the crew to destroy the atmosphere of the entire team.
"The most basic thing is that you must be able to take care of yourself. It is impossible for the crew to have someone to take care of him."
Although Teacher Zhang felt sorry for his son, he also understood that Director Yang Jie was right. Zhang Jinlai joined the crew to film, not to enjoy the happiness. If he couldn't take care of himself, he would not be able to stay in the crew at that time.
"Director Yang, don't worry, Jin Lai promises to overcome this."
Yang Jie nodded, saying that she had already said that she could see the actual performance. If she waited for her to go out to pick the scene this time and after she came back, Zhang Jinlai would still be a young master who needed the care of her father, then there would be nothing to say.
"In addition, you need to study harder. What you know now is still far from Sun Wukong, and you must learn new things. Next, I will go out to pick scenery. You have some time to prepare. First, you must try your father's things as much as possible.
Learn more, and then integrate other things after joining the group, such as martial arts, performances, etc. I will arrange someone to teach you."
After returning to work, the work of the preparatory team for Journey to the West has also entered a new stage. Most of the time I spent discussing and researching, discovering problems, and then solving them.
A lot of things just fall on paper.
In the next period of time, it is time to work hard. Yang Jie will lead the team to go out to play the scenery, and the actors who have already been booked will come to Beijing one after another.
The crew contacted the People's Art Theater through the station and invited several old artists to teach the actors, because most of the actors were originally engaged in opera work and needed to teach them how to make their performances lively.
In addition to the performance teacher, Yang Jie also went to Shichahai Martial Arts School to invite two martial arts coaches to teach the actors some basic martial arts movements.
In short, all actors have to start from scratch. They have lost all their achievements on the opera stage before, and they will open up again after playing drums and drums.
After reminding Zhang Jinlai, Yang Jie did not forget to entrust her to Teacher Zhang: "Teacher Zhang, I have also asked you. You have to teach Jinlai as much as possible all your abilities. Don't feel sorry for him.
, let him do more in life, so he can be more relaxed if he really joins the group in the future."
Teacher Zhang naturally patted his chest and promised repeatedly: "Director Yang, we promise to do what you said. We will wait until you come back to see it. It will definitely be different from now."
I hope it!
He sent the Zhang family and his son away from CCTV until he got on the bus before Yang Jie took Gu Bei back.
"Xiao Gu, do you think... can be done?"
Gu Bei couldn't say whether it was OK, but he knew that it was Zhang Jinlai who successfully portrayed the role of Monkey King Sun Wukong in his previous life. I think no matter how difficult it was, he should have overcome it.
"I think it's okay, it's not a difficult thing. Besides, such a good opportunity, the Zhang family will definitely be reluctant to give up. No matter how many difficulties there are, they have to overcome them."
Yang Jie wondered: "What do you say?"
Gu Bei smiled and said, "You think, if the Southern Monkey King is now heading north, if he can take down the role of Sun Wukong in the TV series "Journey to the West", people will mention the monkey drama family in the future..."
Understood.
Without saying anything, Yang Jie also understood what Gu Bei meant.
"Why do you always think of people in a wrong way? It's okay to say this to me. Don't mention it to others. Remember?"
Looking at Director Yang Jie's smiling expression, he obviously agreed with Gu Bei's statement.
"I understand, accept your criticism humbly."
