Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 107

"Teacher Jiao, this is really not a good thing to do. I will be in trouble when I return to school!"

As soon as they met, Zhen Jiecheng complained.

He handed Teacher Jiao a cigarette and then took the initiative to light it.

"Not really! Your seniors have done this a lot, and nothing happened to them." Teacher Jiao is an old smoker. Whenever there are private gatherings, he is always the one who takes the lead in passing out cigarettes.

"How can it be the same? I haven't even graduated yet! I haven't even got my divorce certificate, I can't be open about it."

"Come on! When you and Jiang Wen were in cahoots, why didn't you think of sneaking around? You're the only one in Beijing Film Academy who's teaming up with the Central Academy of Drama to start an internal fight!" The old man was amused and pointed at Zhen Jiecheng and started muttering,
"You are really good at comparing a graduation certificate to a divorce certificate!"

"Luckily you're not from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, otherwise our teachers from the Shanghai Theatre Academy would be really upset."

The old man was speechless.

Damn! This little Chaoxi is a scam, but it would be great if it really went on stage.

Why have the colleagues at Beijing Film Academy been so arrogant in the past two years? Isn't it because of the confidence given by this kid?

"Okay, I won't chat with you anymore!"

"Come on, come on, come with me to see our students from Shanghai Theatre Academy. It's just a simple exchange meeting, don't think too much about it."

"Of course, it would be great if you find one that catches your eye. But that's OK too. Just give our students some pointers and leave a good impression. That's enough."

"We at Shanghai Theatre Academy do things in an upright manner. We won't be as greedy as the Central Academy of Drama and force people into your projects."

Yan Jiecheng:
Guo Taozi is not lying to me. My colleagues are my biggest enemies!
The auditorium was packed with people.

This is certainly not entirely due to Zhen Jiecheng's appeal, but rather the fact that Chinese people are born with the gene to gather in groups.

No matter what, let’s just join in the fun first!

Under the arrangement of the teachers from Shanghai Theatre Academy, the students from the Department of Acting occupied the best positions and were all focusing their attention on Zhen Jiecheng who was walking with Teacher Jiao.

"Hu Ge, I heard that it was you who brought Director Zhen here?" Yuan Hong asked curiously.

Hearing the sound, Han Yu, who was sitting in front of him, couldn't help but prick up his ears, trying to hear his classmate's answer clearly.

"What are you thinking about! I'm just a driver. Teacher Jiao called Director Zhen here!" Hu Ge didn't want to explain in detail in public, as it would be suspected of showing off, so he gave Yuan Hong a look.
"Okay, little Dingzi, be quiet and stop whispering."

"Fuck you, I've changed my name! I'm now Yuan Hong, not Yuan Ding!"

"Got it, Xiao Yuanzi!"

Hugo rolled his eyes and ignored his friend's nagging.

Looking straight ahead, Zhen Jiecheng picked up the microphone and started speaking.

“It is an honor to be invited by Teacher Jiao!”

“I am honored to have such an opportunity to exchange ideas with all of you talented people from Shanghai Theatre Academy!”

"I'm on stage at the last minute, totally unprepared. I might as well not show off my little knowledge, to avoid making a fool of myself."

"Well, how about we all have a chat?"

Facing the sounds of approval from the audience, Zhen Jiecheng looked around.

Just by taking a quick look around, I saw many familiar faces.

Lu Yi's brother-in-law: Guo Jingfei.

Hu Ge’s classmates are Yuan Hong and Han Yu.

Lei Nima, with a dejected look on his face, was staring with his big head fixed.

My classmate Sun Yizhou and a group of freshmen from Class 04 almost made up half of the "Love Apartment" crew.

In the future, the Class of 04 of Shanghai Theatre Academy will be known as the star class, competing with the Class of 96 of the Central Academy of Drama and the Beijing Film Academy.

But this is obviously nonsense!
What can Wang Chuanjun, Zheng Kai, Chen Chichi, Li Jinming, Jiang Shuying, Chen Rong, and Zhao Ji use to challenge the Class of 96?
It's not even on the same level!
But if we compare them in the same direction, Shanghai Theatre Academy is indeed ahead of Central Academy of Drama.

North Film?

The Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy is busy "accumulating strength for a breakthrough" and is not interested in participating in such boring competition.

"Director Zhen, can we talk about how to date?"

Suddenly a sound came out, and then it stopped!
Amid the masking of so many questions, the source of the sound could not be found for the time being, yet it stood out particularly.

“Is this something we can talk about?”

Zhen Jiecheng looked at Jiao Huang the first time. When he saw the old man's gloomy face, Zhen Jiecheng was immediately happy.
"If you guys talk about this, then I won't be sleepy anymore!"

"After all, according to the entertainment magazines: I have been working hard at Beijing Film Academy, the Central Academy of Drama, and the Beijing Dance Academy. My only regret is that I didn't get to play a role!"

Zhen Jiecheng spread his hands.
"It's not that I didn't try hard, it's just that I'm just too far away to do it!"

As he spoke, he set his gaze on the group of beautiful girls.

It’s true, there are all kinds of girls, fat or thin!

Not to mention Jiang Shuying, her future development path seems to be aimed at imitating Gao Yuanyuan.

It's not just the choice of roles and attire, but the imitation in all aspects!

But her skills are obviously not as good as Yuanyuan's, and her temperament is also inferior.

Wan Qian's performance in "Paradise in Service" left a lasting impression on Zhen Jiecheng.

However, although she won the Golden Donkey Award for Best Supporting Actress, the film was banned.

This is a bit similar to Xiaolu who starred in "The Sent-Down Girl", but Xiaolu won the Best Actress award and holds the title of the youngest film queen.

Little Song Jia, that's the kind of person who is willing to take risks!
"Curiosity Kills the Cat" was only able to pass review after all the nude scenes were deleted.

There are also "Save Me" and "Wolf Smoke Everywhere".
Don't count, don't know, count and startle!
Wow, the sisters from Shanghai Theatre Academy are really willing to devote themselves to art!
What Hao Lei said is right: Deng Chao is really petty, lacks professionalism, and does not look like a model student at the Central Academy of Drama at all.

Zhen Jiecheng is different.

As a director, within the framework of the director-centered system.

Zhen Jiecheng represents the art of film! What we need are good actors who dare to devote themselves to art!
His eyes stayed on little Song Jia, and his memory told Zhen Jiecheng:

This is quite smooth!

But... I'm afraid we can't rush.

It is said that this is a seafood shop that has been personally certified by rock singer Xie Tianxiao. It can be seen from a distance but not heard from close up.

If the rumors are true, then Zhen Jiecheng's evaluation is: Not even a hair comparable to Sister Hao Lei!

The lively discussions included but were not limited to topics such as dating, making movies, writing scripts, and even writing songs.

Out of politeness, Zhen Jiecheng praised Jiao Huang: "Teacher Jiao, Shanghai Theatre Academy is full of talented people. It can be said to be a palace of art!"

“Hahaha! Jiecheng, you’re too kind! It’s not enough to just go on stage, you still have to work harder.” The old man smiled happily.

"No, no, no! These are all from the bottom of my heart!" Zhen Jiecheng shook his head, "How about we have a discussion?"

"What discussion?" Teacher Jiao asked puzzledly.

"The procedure and timeline for Beijing Film Academy to guarantee my admission to graduate school were wrong. They just gave me a form to fill out, and they wouldn't let me leave if I didn't fill it out."

"How about you report them and get me into the Shanghai Theatre Academy for graduate studies?"

"Don't get me wrong, I don't have any other ideas. I just want to appreciate art in the art hall!"

Jiao Huang:.
Faced with the booing of the students in the audience, even the emperor of drama couldn't control his expression.

"Ahem! What are you making such a fuss about?"

"If you perform well enough, Shanghai Theatre Academy wouldn't mind giving you an exception and admitting you to graduate school!"

After suppressing the students, he glared at Zhen Jiecheng and said unhappily:

"Jiecheng, since you speak from the bottom of your heart, I'm sure you are also impressed by the talents in the art hall. Do you want to pick a few?"

"Okay!"

"You are also a big commercial director. You can't be inconsistent in your words and deeds. You can't... Wait! What did you say?" Jiao Huang was stunned.

"I agree!" As soon as the words were spoken, the auditorium suddenly became quiet.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course it's true! How could I fool you?" Zhen Jiecheng turned around and looked at the audience.

Everywhere you look, it's all hot!

There are no secrets between film and television schools.

When Teacher Wang Jinsong learned that Zhen Jiecheng was preparing for his third work, which was an award-winning art film, he immediately informed his colleagues.

He repeatedly reminded them to keep the secret strictly and never disclose it to anyone, and to try to digest a part of the cake internally first.

But even though teacher Wang Jinsong pulled out a rubber band from his pants to make a slingshot to deter the leaker, he was unable to prevent the Central Academy of Drama from getting wind of the news that evening, and the Shanghai Theatre Academy received the news the next day.

And this is one of the reasons why everyone is so excited!

Pick someone?

Could it be casting for an art film?

If it were a commercial film, people might not be so expectant.

After all, commercial films need actors with appeal. Deng Chao and "Life Events" are exceptions. Such dark horses are not common.

Not to mention that Zhen Jiecheng has already achieved success and is no longer the rookie he once was.

So even if I get the role, it will only be an insignificant supporting role.

Art films are different. Some of them feature young actors, some even grassroots, as the protagonists!
Thinking of this, everyone looked more eager, especially the actresses.

Art films should feature stripping, right?

Can I make up my mind to take off all my clothes?

Art films should have passion, right?

Can I engage with my passion on camera?
Director Zhen played a supporting role in "The Unknown", so is he going to be the lead actor this time?

I heard that when shooting this scene, irrelevant personnel had to be dismissed, and even just a fixed camera position had to be set up to let the actors perform alone!
Then at that time Director Zhen and I...hiss!
Once the direction is wrong. No, once the direction is right, just a little effort will be enough to get to the point, right?
what should I do?
Improvise?

I can only wait and see!

As a professional actor, it is normal to devote oneself to art.

Didn’t the teacher teach us that the effect of experiential performance is the most real and touching!
Some of the brave actresses were eager to try it out. They held their heads high and wrote a welcome letter on their faces.

Everyone despises Zhang Jingchu, but most people don't mind being Zhang Jingchu.

Especially since Zhen Jiecheng is younger and more handsome than Gu Changwei, and he is not married.

"Let me pick one first!"

"But don't be discouraged. If there is an opportunity for cooperation in the future, emmm, let me put it another way! If there are film and television projects in the future, everyone is welcome to submit their resumes to my studio!"

"I will select the suitable ones and send out audition notices."

As he spoke, Zhen Jiecheng pointed with his finger.

"Hello, classmate. Can you introduce yourself? By the way, have you signed the contract?"

Following the direction of Zhen Jiecheng's finger, everyone looked and saw a big head with eyes wide open in a daze.

How could it be him?
It can't be him!

Everyone thought so.

How could it be me?
It can't be me!

Lei Jiayin thought so too.

So he looked left and right, trying to find the right target for Zhen Jiecheng around him.

"Stop looking around! I'm talking about you, the one with the biggest head!" Zhen Jiecheng was happy.

This situation is surprisingly similar to the predicament Huang Bo faced in the small auditorium of Beijing Film Academy!

"Me?" Lei Jiayin pointed at himself.

"Yes! It's you!"

"Ah? My name is Lei Jiayin, I am from the acting department of Shanghai Theatre Academy in 02. I didn't sign a contract because no one signed me. I..."

"Alright! That's enough!" Zhen Jiecheng interrupted Lei Jiayin's self-introduction, "Sister Hua will come to Shanghai with the actor contract to find you later. You can talk to her then."

Cheng Hao works so hard, so Zhen Jiecheng should also contribute to Jiecheng Film and Television Company, right?
This also gives Teacher Jiao enough face, so why not do it?
"Work hard and cherish your study time at school."

"After you have cultivated your inner strength, the right project role will definitely fall on your head in the future!"

After saying that, he turned his gaze to other people.

As usual, exchange contact information.

Thanks to Mr. Ma, I no longer have to keep noting my mobile phone number like before. Adding QQ is convenient and fast.

Zhen Jiecheng’s consideration was very simple. Since he was going to do it, he might as well make it a face-saving project!

In the future, when it comes to exchanging artistic matters with students of Shanghai Theatre Academy, regardless of whether they have graduated or not, Shanghai Theatre Academy would be embarrassed to call and question them, right?

Thinking of this, Zhen Jiecheng couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up for his cleverness.

So I logged into my second account and added some students from Shanghai Theatre Academy on QQ with a smile on my face.

When it was Xiao Songjia's turn, he took a deep breath on purpose.

Eh, not fishy?

Not only does it not smell fishy, ​​it seems quite fragrant.

Could it be that it was because she was still a narrow path, without any pots and liquids blocking the way, and was opened up into a broad road?

Or is it because the thick clothes and perfume suppressed the flavor?
Zhen Jiecheng scratched his head.

Forget it, what does it have to do with me whether it tastes fishy or not?
If you have that energy, you might as well think more about the three-year agreement with Cheng Hao.

With less than a year left, it’s time to find a suitable reason to renew!

When Mr. Jiao was still expressing his admiration to the teachers at the Shanghai Theatre Academy for Zhen Jiecheng's respect and ability to get things done.

When Lei Jiayin was crowned with the halo of a lucky guy, he was envied and even jealous by his classmates.

When Hu Ge took his buddy Yuan Hong, they began to frequently go to busy places such as the vegetable market, observing and trying to understand every ordinary passerby.

Zhen Jiecheng has already boarded the plane and returned to Beijing.

Enough of relaxing, it's time to get to work!
The screenwriting department began to get busy, and under the leadership of Zhen Jiecheng, they carefully polished the plot line of "Parasite".

at last,

"Beep, beep, beep."

"Hey, Teacher Li!"

"The script for Parasite has been finalized. Are you not busy recently?"

"Okay! See you in Hong Kong then!"

Of course, the photographer's opinion must be consulted for framing, and Zhen Jiecheng happened to be discussing shooting ideas with teacher Li Pingbin.

"Beep, beep, beep."

"Hey, Brother Chen Long, this is Jie Cheng!"

"I will come to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow. I'll trouble you then, big brother!"

"Beep, beep, beep."

"Hello, Xiao Ming."

"Rain or shine, I'll be waiting for you in Hong Kong!"
