1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

"My wife!"

"Don't you think Zhou Yun looks a lot like her, Old Xie?"

When Cheng Xuemin wrote Love at Mount Lu, he originally intended it for his own wife!
Previously, "Parental Love" wrote about the mother-in-law's family, and "Ordinary World" wrote about Cheng Xuemin's own parents. The starting point of the current "Lush Mountain Love" is to write for his daughter-in-law Feng Jiayou.

Therefore, in portraying the heroine, Cheng Xuemin intentionally or unintentionally used the character of his daughter-in-law Feng Jiayou, and originally wanted to let his own daughter-in-law play the role.

Unfortunately, his wife Feng Jiayou was busy studying and taking care of her son and had no time at all.

"Your wife?" Xie Jin listened to Cheng Xuemin's words and suddenly looked up and thought about it. He suddenly realized that he should not be too agreeable and nodded, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, after hearing what you said, Xuemin, it is true!"

"Then Xuemin, since this role came first and it's written for your wife, why don't you let your wife come and play it?"

"It's also good to try it out first!"

When Xie Jin thought of the image of Cheng Xuemin's lover, he really slapped his thigh. It was really like finding something after searching for a long time without any effort. Wasn't Cheng Xuemin's lover the exact prototype of Zhou Yun?
He went around and tried all the actresses in Yanying Studio, but couldn't find a suitable one.

To the end!
The heroine created by Cheng Xuemin actually has a prototype.

Since there was a prototype, why didn't this guy recommend his wife to audition? Instead, he recommended Gong Yu from the General Political Department Art Troupe.

"He loves someone?!"

Gong Di next to him was also full of curiosity and anticipation. Who is the character Zhou Yun created by Cheng Xuemin?

But when Cheng Xuemin named the person, Gong Yu was stunned at first, then he suddenly realized and reacted.

She even thought to herself that it was no wonder that when she first got the script and read it, she always felt that the heroine in the script was familiar and she was very easily drawn into the character.

She really never expected that it would be her classmate Huang Tu, Cheng Xuemin's lover.

Gong Xi had met his lover Feng Jiayou twice, and he indeed discovered that Zhou Yun, whom he wrote about, was his lover.

It turned out to be Cheng Xuemin’s lover, but after realizing it, he felt it was so natural.

and so!
Why didn’t he let his lover play the role? Why did he recommend himself to Director Xie?

What a coincidence!
She actually seemed to be very comfortable with the role of Zhou Yun. This was her first audition for a movie.

If Cheng Xuemin hadn't come over, Director Xie and the others would have sighed that the role of Zhou Yun belonged to her, Gong Di.

Or!

Are Huang Tu’s wife and I really like sisters?

"She doesn't have time. She has to go to college and take care of the kids. She can't leave."

"Besides, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. It just depends on whether she wants to act or not!"

Cheng Xuemin waved his hands repeatedly and glanced at the students who were auditioning. He really felt that the art circle was so small.

Isn’t that the Emperor Zhang Tielin?
That Sha Ruijinsha secretary Zhang Fengyi, Hello, Li Huanying's Liu Jia, and the old BJ leader Xie Yuan.

There are also the golden boy and girl from the 78 class of the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, the boy is Zhou Lijing and the girl is Fang Shu.

These are all college students from the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy next door. Cheng Xuemin can recognize most of them, but they are too different from the impression he has of them as young handsome men and fairies!
Especially Emperor Zhang Tielin, who is worthy of being the handsome young man of the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. His outfit today really makes Cheng Xuemin feel bright.

I was also amazed in my heart that these uncles and grandpas were indeed young once.

Just like Cheng Xuemin himself, but now they are young and still cannot compare to Cheng Xuemin, otherwise Xie Jin would not have wanted Cheng Xuemin to continue to act as the male protagonist of his new movie after reading the script.

This is the top-notch appearance. All the emperors, golden boys and beautiful girls have to stand aside.

"Alas... then you really have to prioritize your studies and family. After all, for a small family like yours, Xuemin, it's enough to have you leading the way!"

Xie Jin originally wanted to say that even if he didn't have time to act, he could definitely call her over for an audition. He also wanted to see how Cheng Xuemin's prototype of the heroine would perform in her true colors.

Will there be a feeling of surprise?

Will it be better than Gong Di’s Zhou Yun?
But after thinking about it, they quickly gave up the idea. Both he and his wife are college students and they just gave birth to a son.

Cheng Xuemin has already been pulled out to fight for the motherland's film industry, so there must be a woman left at home.

After thinking about it, he stopped worrying and continued, "Besides, Gong Yu's acting is really good here. After joining the crew and deepening his understanding of the character, he will surely be able to act even better!"

"So, it's thanks to you, Xuemin, for recommending Comrade Gong Xi, otherwise I wouldn't know where to find him."

"Really? You know what? Comrade Gong Yu is really suitable for the role of Zhou Yun!"

As if by some mysterious force, Xie Jin added one more sentence at the end.

Gong Xi, who was standing next to him, blushed with embarrassment and shame, not knowing whether to respond or not.

There is no way to answer it!
Mr. Huang Tu wrote about his lover Feng Jiayou, but he recommended himself to play the role, and his performance even caught the director's eye. What's the big deal?
"That's really good!" With so many people present, Cheng Xuemin didn't say much, just nodded in agreement, and asked Huang Ama and the others, "What about them?"

"I can see that they are all students from Beijing Film Academy next door! Old Xie, have you found any good seedlings?"

Hearing this, Xie Jin turned his gaze back to the students who were auditioning, and said bluntly, "The female roles are okay, but I think Gong Yu is the best for the leading female role!"

"There is also a female supporting role, the hero's sister. I think this student did well in the audition and can enter the second round!"

Xie Jin was referring to Li Huanying Liu Jia, and then said, "As for male actors, this one is pretty good, with a good image, and can also enter the second round."

Emperor Zhang Tielin, who was chosen by Xie Jin, was instantly delighted. He didn't expect that he would be chosen as the leading actor in his first audition. What a stroke of luck!

Then Xie Jin commented on several others and felt that they were all unsuitable. They were either too tough or too old, and basically none of them were suitable.

And Xie Jin had something else in his mind that he didn’t say!
On Yanjing's side, the leading actress has basically been decided, and the supporting actress and the leading actor are almost certain to enter the second round, but there are not many roles left.

This time, their Shanghai film studio is leading the production, so it definitely cannot be like the last film "The Shepherd", where all the people used were from Yan Film Studio and Yanjing.

He must keep some roles and bring them back to his own film studio in Shanghai, otherwise all the actors will be outsiders. How can Xie Jin stay in the studio in the future?

"him!"

"Very good, very good. Old Xie, you have a very sharp vision!" Cheng Xuemin glanced at the emperor who was still secretly excited, but did not say much.

Then he said to Lao Xie, "Lao Xie, are you almost done here? The old factory manager Wang Yang and I just came back from the lake, and he just told us to have lunch together at noon!"

"It's settled!?" Xie Jin was stunned for a moment when he heard that, and then he asked in surprise.

"Well, it's basically settled. The progress of the filming may be the same as yours. We'll try to finish the film before New Year's Day!"

"That's fine, that's fine!"

"I'm done here, I'm done now, we can go eat now!" Xie Jin was overjoyed again, he no longer had the energy to try again, he said to the students who were auditioning, "Liu Jia and Zhang Tielin, you go back and wait for notification, the same goes for the others!"

"You can all go to the canteen of Yanying Studio to eat. Here are your meal tickets and vegetable tickets. Divide them among yourselves!" After saying that, he took out the prepared meal tickets and vegetable tickets and asked them to divide them among themselves.

Anyway, it’s already been agreed upon that meals will be provided for those who come for the audition today.

"Gong Xi, you..."

"Let's eat together!"

Xie Jin originally wanted to give Gong Xi a meal ticket so that she could go to the cafeteria to eat with several students from Beijing Film Academy.

But Cheng Xuemin next to him said, how could they let Gong Li eat with those guys alone?

Especially the Emperor Zhang Tielin!
When he heard that they would enter the second round just now, his eyes kept wandering around Gong Xi. How could Cheng Xuemin not know what that guy was thinking?
After all, they are the Gong Xue in the south and Zhu Lin in the north of this era. In terms of appearance, even Fang Shu, the golden boy and jade girl of Beijing Film Academy, has to stand aside.

Which man wouldn't be happy if he could act with such a beautiful woman?

"Yeah!" Gong Xi kept his head down and responded softly to Cheng Xuemin's call.

Soon after the three of them left, Emperor Zhang Tielin was the first to get excited. He shouted to Zhang Fengyi and Zhou Lijing beside him: "Fengyi Lijing, did you hear me? I'm selected!"

"I was selected as the male protagonist of Love on Lushan Mountain. This is the male protagonist number one!"

Zhang Fengyi and Zhou Lijing rolled their eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to this guy who was so lucky that he was chosen as the No. 1 male lead.

"Liu Jia, Zhang Tielin, do you know who that young man was just now? Why does he look so familiar with Director Xie? And it seems that Gong Xi was recommended by him and squeezed in?!" Although the beautiful girl Fang Shu was not selected, she has never accepted it, because she came here just for the leading female role Zhou Yun.

Moreover, Fang Shu also felt that she had studied the role of Zhou Yun thoroughly and her performance should be very good.

But why is he not as good as Gong Xi who suddenly appears?
Why is Fang Shu not as good as Gong Xu?

It's not as good as it is. Fang Shu didn't really care about it. After all, she and Zhou Lijing were the golden boy and girl of their acting department, and there were plenty of directors at Yan Film Studio who were looking for them to film.

In fact, she and Zhou Lijing have no shortage of roles to play. If Xie Jin's Lushan Love doesn't like her, the worst that can happen is that she can just go back and join another crew.

But when the young man who suddenly came over was blatantly trying to get close to Director Xie, it turned out that Gong Xi was also recommended by him to join, which made Fang Shu very unhappy.

She felt that it was that young man who used the back door to cut in and snatched the leading female role from her, Zhou Yun.

"I do not know!"

"I do not know!"

When asked, Liu Jia and Zhang Tielin both shook their heads, indicating that they did not know the young man.

"I don't know him very well either!"

"do not know!"

Zhang Fengyi and Zhou Lijing also shook their heads, saying they didn't recognize him.

"Is this true? Are you so ignorant? You don't even know him?"

It was at this time that old BJ Xie Yuanyuan looked at his classmates with an incredible expression and asked, "Is this true?"
"Xie Yuan, just tell me, who is he?!"

"From the sound of his voice, it seems that Gong Xi was the one who recommended Jia Que to Director Xie?" Fang Shu continued to feel resentful about Jia Que and really wanted to know who the other party was.

"From what they said just now, it seems that he wrote this script? He is the screenwriter of Yanying Studio?" Liu Jia also analyzed.

"And, he seemed to have just said that he had just returned from the lake with the old factory manager!"

"In the sea? He is so young, how could he enter the sea? Who the hell is he?"

After Zhang Fengyi's analysis, his face turned dumbfounded.

When the others heard him mention Haizili, their faces changed drastically. Only then did they realize that it was Haizili!

Is it possible for ordinary people to enter the lake?

And still so young!
"Right! You've already said that a young screenwriter who has been in and out of the sea is so familiar with Director Xie Jin and the old director of Yanying Studio. Who do you think can meet these requirements?"

"Cheng Xuemin, the reform pioneer of Yanda University!"

"Who do you think it was?"

Xie Yuan definitely knew Cheng Xuemin. Although they couldn't be said to know each other, he had seen him from afar before, so Xie Yuan knew him very well.

"Ah? Cheng Xuemin, the horse herder Xu Lingjun, is it him?"

"So he is Cheng Xuemin?"

Fang Shu's pretty face changed drastically when she heard that and she exclaimed. Liu Jia also murmured to himself, thinking that no wonder.

"Hmm?! He is that Cheng Xuemin? Oh my god, it's actually him!" Emperor Zhang Tielin's eyes bulged out. He never expected that it would be the famous figure of Yan University.

However, what he didn't know was that while Zhang Tielin's worship of that influential figure was as endless as the surging river, Cheng Xuemin over there was already making things difficult for him.

"Xuemin, they were all here just now, so you might not be able to comment in person. When I mentioned the leading male role just now, what did you mean by that unusual smile?"

"You think Zhang Tielin is not suitable?"

Xie Jin was such a cunning old fox that Cheng Xuemin's brief expression just now did not escape his eyes at all.

"Um, Old Xie, have you noticed it?" Cheng Xuemin was a little surprised. After asking, he didn't wait for Xie Jin to continue asking, and then said, "Actually, I don't know if it's appropriate. I always feel that there is something about that boy... an indescribable feeling!"

"Old Xie, you can ask him to wear formal clothes and try again!"

Cheng Xuemin didn't say that the emperor naturally had a frivolous temperament, and it felt awkward for him to play the leading male role in Lushan Love.

If Xie Jin was looking for an actor to play Ximen Qing, Cheng Xuemin would definitely agree with him.

"Did you notice it too?"

“In fact, I also have that indescribable feeling!”

"Okay, then let him put on formal clothes and try again later!"

Xie Jin also nodded, thinking that he would do as Cheng Xuemin said and try on the full suit again.

What Cheng Xuemin didn't know was that when Xie Jin called Zhang Tielin for the second audition and put on formal attire, his frivolous and lascivious temperament could not be concealed at all. Xie Jin was dumbfounded at the time and exclaimed that Cheng Xuemin was a god who could see through at a glance that this boy was only suitable to play Ximen Qing.

Because of Xie Jin's words, Emperor Zhang Tielin's future acting career became narrower and narrower, and he ended up playing the role of a dandy and lascivious man.
