Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 323 Director Bi, please take your seat!
Zhen Jiecheng stood there in a daze, his mind going blank.

Without time to recover from the fatigue of the journey, his eyes were a little dazed, and he asked blankly:

"who."

"Bi Zhifei." Director Tian replied.

"Who?" He seemed to be unconvinced by the answer, so much so that his voice trembled a little.

"Bi Zhifei."

"who!!!"

"Bi Zhifei! Bi Zhifei from the acting department!" Answering the same question repeatedly made Lao Deng'er speechless, "Do you have no brain or ears?"

"Isn't it just Bi Zhifei? Why are you so angry?"

No?

Wait, that’s Director Bi Zhifei!

The acting department is a great talent that has never been seen before. If Liu Yifei and Jing Tian are the young dragon and phoenix, then Director Bi is the divine unicorn! He skipped the "young" stage and directly called him the ancestor!

Is it possible for us, the master and the disciple, to guide such a god? Are we worthy of each other?

Zhen Jiecheng scratched his head hard, his scalp numbing.

"As a world-class director, you should pay attention to your manners, your manners!" Lao Deng'er had a look of disgust on his face.

"Don't worry, it's not difficult, not troublesome at all."

"I specifically asked around. This Bi Zhifei is a talented person. He graduated from the acting department and is truly a gem in the dark."

What the hell? A hidden treasure? Shouldn't it be the result of years of accumulation of the acting department?

"Wait, that's not right. He didn't come from the acting department. His undergraduate degree is from Northern University of Technology." Lao Deng smacked his lips. "That's right. The acting department is not worthy of such a talent."

Hearing this, Zhen Jiecheng covered his forehead with his hands, too tired to complain.

Well, if it weren't for the memories of his past life, Zhen Jiecheng would have been confused by Bi Dao's resume just like Lao Deng'er:

He started to study seriously in high school. Because his idol at that time was the singer Lao Lang, Bi Dao made a plan for himself: to take the entrance exam for Peking University!
Then he became a campus folk singer at Peking University, and competed with Shuimu's Laolang.

Is there any connection between being a folk singer and getting into Peking University? Bi Dao thinks there is! And the connection is very big.

To this end, Bi Dao participated in the 1995 National High School Mathematics Competition, won the third prize, and obtained +10 points in the college entrance examination.

But the 10-point bonus was not enough to get Bi Dao to enter Weiming Lake, so he repeated his studies. The next year, he became the top scorer in science in Zanhuang County, and finally reached the admission score for Peking University. However, admission and enrollment are two different things, so Bi Dao had to enter the Northern University of Technology, his second choice.

In this case, is Director Bi considered a talent?

If it doesn’t count, Director Bi can still continue!

As soon as I arrived in Beijing, I went to the Central Conservatory of Music alone and learned to sing without forgetting my original intention.

Then I signed up for a training course at a music company, paid the money, and started further studies.

As luck would have it, some bastard from the 96 class of Beijing Film Academy also happened to attend the training class and became Bi Dao's classmate. He showed Bi Dao a photo:
"My classmate, Huang Xiaoming, is he handsome?"

Then Bi Dao discovered his blind spot: he was surprisingly as handsome as Huang Xiaoming in the photo!

So Director Bi immediately made a decision: stop being a singer and become an actor!

Later, due to a medical accident in his childhood that caused his eyes to become squint, Bi could only be a special actor at best, and could not play a leading role on the screen. Bi had to settle for the next best thing and reluctantly turned to directing.

Thinking of this, Zhen Jiecheng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

But the next second, I was inexplicably shocked by Director Bi's execution ability.

What's the situation of feeling a little touched?
"I heard that he studied in the study room every day when he was an undergraduate, just to apply for our directing major." Director Tian smacked his lips, "Unfortunately, we didn't recruit master's students that year, so he went to the acting department. Although he didn't pass the first year, he was favored by Teacher Tao."

Professor Tao Fuqing Tao!

Before retiring from the army, he trained students such as Chen Peisi at the Bayi Film Studio. After retiring from the army, he transferred to the Beijing Film Academy as a physical education instructor.

Starting from level 78, I have been teaching all the way to level 00!
Even Lao Deng'er and the dean, Senior Brother Zhang Huijun, would respectfully call him "Teacher" when they met him.

Zhen Jiecheng took a breath of cold air!
Damn it, who dares to say that I, Director Bi, am not talented?
He is more than a talent, he is a genius!
"After auditing the class for a year, I took the exam again and ranked first in the admissions score that year."

Zhen Jiecheng knew this and understood it very clearly.

At that time, you had to pay 01 yuan to sit in on the class! What was the value of yuan in ? What was the salary level in Beijing at that time?
But Director Bi showed his family his determination to become an actor by going on a hunger strike, and then got the tuition!
During the year as an auditor, he also participated in the final performance and won unanimous recognition from the performance department teachers with his superb acting skills. Among them, the one who respected Director Bi the most was Wang Jinsong.

As for the reason, Director Bi is a fool.

Zhen Jiecheng boldly speculated: Wang Jinsong also played a classic neurotic role, perhaps he saw his own shadow in Director Bi's interpretation.

"Ahem, teacher, can I ask you something?" Zhen Jiecheng interrupted Lao Deng'er's introduction and asked, "Who recommended Bibi Zhifei to us, master and disciple?"

"The Performance Department asked Zhang Huijun to be the go-between." Director Tian replied.

After a pause, he added another sentence.

"Professor Peng Jixiang of Peking University approached the acting department, and Xiao Wang was optimistic about Bi Zhifei, so they worked together."

Peng Ji statue?
Hey! Is he also Director Bi's mentor?

Damn, I found a new blind spot!

Zhen Jiecheng was shocked again and his scalp went numb. He wondered if his memory of his past life was disordered, or if Director Bi was really a gem covered in dust, and his talent was not fully displayed to the world due to various reasons.

Who is Peng Jixiang?
A student of Zhu Guangqian and editor of relevant professional textbooks.

Are these two alone enough to summarize it?
Seeing Zhen Jiecheng in a daze again, Director Tian explained considerately:
"Bi Zhifei is the first graduate of our Beijing Film Academy to be admitted to Peking University for a doctorate. He failed the first time he took the exam. Professor Peng Jixiang cherished his talent and called him to tell him that his English score was not up to standard and encouraged him to review for another year before taking the exam again."

Lao Deng'er was still explaining, but Zhen Jiecheng became even more confused.

Call in person to let them know the reason and give them encouragement? Anyone who has taken the postgraduate entrance examination or studied for a doctorate knows how much value this has!
The most terrifying thing is: all of this was earned by Bi Dao through his own ability.

Because he didn't have a girlfriend at that time, he didn't have a father-in-law who was the managing director of CICC, and his family background was limited to a small town in Zanhuang County, Hebei Province.

"Teacher, there's no need to explain any more." Zhen Jiecheng's mouth twitched, and he lit a cigarette and calmed down a little. "Teacher, what is your opinion?"

"It's just some guidance, it's such a simple thing!" Director Tian waved his hand, "You can even guide Tiantian and Jielun, isn't Bi Zhifei much better than them?"

"Besides, this time we are working together as master and disciple, so it will be an easy task for us to capture him!"

"On the one hand, it can help promote some talents, and on the other hand, it can also maintain the dignity of the Beijing Film Academy as a family, so that the acting department won't make up rumors that we are concerned about the Central Academy of Drama."

"OK, I'll listen to you!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded. "By the way, teacher, when will you give him guidance?"

"Don't worry, I won't waste your time. I will definitely choose a time when you are free." Director Tian waved his hand, "It seems that he is preparing to graduate with a doctorate now."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, a PhD from Peking University, a student representative of the 'Five Ones' Project, and a visiting scholar from the United States."

"How could such a filthy and rotten Feng Shui of the Performance Department produce good results?"

"Damn it, I actually got to eat dumplings and celebrate the New Year!"

"Gulu~Gulu~"

On the way home from school, Cheng Hao sent his two sons away in advance and asked his parents to take them out for a walk, while he waited eagerly in the house.

The value of Bi Dao has yet to be verified, but the essence of Cheng Hao is beyond doubt! He was busy eating, drinking, lying down, and sitting, enjoying himself.

It has been more than eight years since they got back together during the filming of "Life Events". However, Zhen Jiecheng has never experienced the "seven-year itch", and almost every time he is with someone, he feels full of freshness.

"Honey, who's better, me or those bitches in Hollywood?"

"Wife, you know me well. I don't like white people with large pores and strong body odor. Not to mention dark-skinned people, even if they have delicate skin." Zhen Jiecheng spread his hands, "So do you still need to ask? Although you have no right to speak without practice, it's obvious!"

"One look at it shows there is no comparison."

"My wife is the best, no matter where she is!"

"Hmph~ The answer is correct. I'll give you a reward!" Cheng Hao blinked his peach blossom eyes and was about to come forward.

"Wait! Don't kiss me!" Zhen Jiecheng hurriedly stopped her, "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs! You vicious woman, do you want me to kill my own flesh and blood?"

"Bah! Didn't you also go in when I was four or five months pregnant with my first and second babies? Why didn't you think about the possibility of fratricide at that time?"

"How can it be the same?" Zhen Jiecheng argued confidently, "It's called a good son is born under the stick!"

"Bah! You're the only one who's always talking nonsense!" Cheng Hao rolled his eyes, spat, then snuggled in Zhen Jiecheng's arms, feeling lazy and satisfied.

It was not until he heard his son's chirping outside the door that he hurriedly got dressed and opened the window to ventilate.

"Dad, why are you back?" Zhen Hao blurted out.

"Why can't I come back?" Zhen Jiecheng's palms felt itchy for some reason and he wanted to fan something.

"Erbao, daddy is back. Call daddy!" Cheng Hao picked up Zhen Shuai and reminded him gently.

Although Zhen Jiecheng was gone for only a few months, it was like "half of his life" to Zhen Shuai.

Blinked in confusion,
"Uncle, are you my dad?"

Zhen Jiecheng: (￣ー￣)
"I'm your grandpa!"

"You are his grandfather, then who am I? You bastard, you are always away from home and you blame my grandson!" Zhen's father's cursing instantly triggered a crowd of condemnation.

Even the mother-in-law who loved Zhen Jiecheng the most was watching coldly. Not joining the battlefield was the only kindness left in the old lady.

Cheng Hao watched with a smile, and felt that today's sandstorm was particularly gentle, and the gloomy weather was particularly sunny.

The family gathered together and reunited!
Eat and sleep.

I chatted with my wife and she laughed at me.

After resting for several days, Zhen Jiecheng finally walked out of the house.

The post-production of "Joker" needed to be prepared. Together with "Love Is Not Blind" and "The Adventures of Li Xianji", the company's team was not enough to support the post-production of three films at the same time. Zhen Jiecheng didn't think twice and went directly to Beijing Film Academy and the production studio to recruit people.

Let's put "Love Is Not Blind" aside for now. It is a typical urban drama that caters to the current young people's market. Although the box office will be very considerable, there is nothing worth pondering about the content.

Zhen Jiecheng first watched all the shots of "The Adventures of Li Xianji" and then reviewed them again according to the script.

In addition, Jiang Wen and Ning Hao were called in, and the three of them jointly scored Guo Fan to ensure that his perspective was richer and his thinking was more objective, so as to prevent Guo Fan from paying too much attention to his own suggestions and failing to listen to both sides.

"It has a distinctly experimental flavor." Jiang Wen smacked his lips. "But that's not a bad thing. It's a virgin film, so I should experiment more."

thumbs up,
"Your attempt is undoubtedly very thoughtful!"

"No need to flatter him!" Seeing Jiang Wen handing over the red dates, Zhen Jiecheng directly wielded the big stick, "The plot is insufficient, the logic is relatively confusing, the leading actor's acting skills are average to begin with, and compared with Mr. You Benchang, it's even worse. It's a serious disconnect!"

In fact, compared with the original version in the previous life, this version has undergone a lot of changes.

This is especially evident in the use of camera language to build momentum and organize the logic of the plot.

Correspondingly, precisely because this version was led by Guo Fan throughout, its personal experimental flavor is stronger, which is specifically reflected in the jumpy narrative style.

"The climax of the plot is not strong enough, and there are too many light scenes. In terms of the main and secondary points, the rhythm control is not mature enough!"

"In addition, you have used a lot of tricks, or cleverness. For some audiences, it is a surprise that they can't put down. But for the mainstream market, your cleverness is not yet in line with the rules!"

After giving the overall evaluation, Zhen Jiecheng began to find faults in specific details of the shots.

It is said that three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, not to mention the combination of Zhen Jiecheng + Jiang Wen + Ning Hao.

From art to business, from narrative to metaphor, from lines to plot, it covers everything.

Guo Fan had no time to take down shorthand, so he had to take out his cell phone and start recording.

"Okay! That's it for the review. Submit a summary of your thoughts afterwards!"

Zhen Jiecheng stood up.

"In addition, after the release, give me a reflection report based on the market and audience response."

"I don't set any word count requirements, you can decide for yourself."

The footsteps gradually faded away, but the sound did not stop.

"By the way, I've prepared the next script for you. When it's finished, come to my office and get it."

"Okay, teacher!" Guo Fan nodded vigorously.

"Hiss! He hasn't even done post-production on his own film yet, but he's already asked Jiang Wen and Ning Hao to analyze his students' film. Jie Cheng is really treating Guo Fan as his own disciple!"

"Of course not! Didn't you hear? The next script is ready! In other words, no matter whether Guo Fan makes a profit or a loss on this film, it is not within Jiecheng's consideration. It is only used for training purposes."

"Just from Jie Cheng's comments, you can tell that Guo Fan's virgin film is pretty good, but in Jie Cheng's words, it's nothing. It just goes to show that 'a strict teacher produces excellent students'."

There were constant discussions in the editing room, and these veteran workers who were brought in from the production studios were all very skilled.

Privately, they all wanted to recommend their disciples to Guo Fan, make investments in advance, and pave the way for the younger generations.

Of course, this is not a bad thing for Guo Fan. This is how the human connection chain is spread out. After forming a community of interests, whether it is his own career development or his children's future entry into the circle, it will be of great benefit.

Why was Lu Chuan able to win awards in the country smoothly and then flaunt the label of a "famous director"?

It is all thanks to the influence of my father's connections that he is protected.

Old father can be teacher + biological father.

It can also be teacher + father-in-law.

For example: Bi Zhifei.

At Peking University, Bi Zhifei, who had just returned from a visit to the Department of Film, Television and Broadcasting at the University of Texas at Austin, received good news from his teacher.

Pick up the first draft of the script, which took eight years to create and was based on real-life experiences: "Youth Sparkle: Chasing Dreams in the Acting Department."

I could hear my girlfriend’s encouragement in my ears: “Dear, I will definitely support you with all my strength!”

It seems like I see a bright future before my eyes.

"In the past, call me Bi Zhifei, I won't mind."

"But in the future, please call me: Director Bi!"
