Huayu: Director started with art films

Chapter 413 424 [Private University Qualification, Promote China's Film Industry]

The group of people talked and laughed while eating.

When they were almost done eating, Li Yishu looked at Jiang Qinqin and said, "Qinqin, you will be a senior in the second half of the year. Do you have any plans for the future?"

"Ah? Planning? I don't know. Just shoot if there's a scene."

Jiang Qinqin was a little confused. She really had no idea about her future plans. Since she started college, she basically filmed whenever the company arranged for her to do so, and they were all during the winter and summer vacations.

In addition, with Li Yishu as her strong backer, Jiang Qinqin is even less worried about whether she will be unable to find a job after graduation.

Li Yishu chuckled, "You'll be a senior soon, so you need to make a plan. Do you want to continue filming, or do you want to work behind the scenes, or stay in school as a teacher like your sister Feihong?"

"I don't want to be a teacher." Jiang Qinqin shook her head desperately. She didn't want to be a teacher.

"So you want to continue filming?"

"Sure, we'll shoot if there's a scene."

At this point, Jiang Qinqin suddenly stared at Li Yishu eagerly: "Brother Yishu, how about I be your assistant?"

"Be an assistant?"

"Yes, this way I can see you more often."

"Ha ha!"

Hearing Jiang Qinqin's words, Li Yishu smiled and said, "You studied hard for several years in college, got up early to practice martial arts, and learned acting, just to be my assistant? Don't you want to be a movie queen like your sister Feihong?"

When Yu Feihong heard this, she rolled her eyes at him. How did she get the title of Best Actress? Even if she was stupid, she knew there must be something fishy going on.

Speaking of which, even though he knew that there was something fishy about this actress, Yu Feihong was still very happy.

On the one hand, it was because Li Yishu fulfilled her promise to her, and secondly, with this Best Actress trophy, Yu Feihong became a truly "capable" person among the teachers of Beijing Film Academy.

Alyssa Chia and Xu Jinglei both stared at Jiang Qinqin with envy.

With the help of the great director Li Yishu, Jiang Qinqin might really become a movie queen in the future.

Even if it's not one of the three major European awards, but with so many foreign film festivals, she can always win a Best Actress award.

After all, these days, as long as you win a foreign film festival, no matter what kind of fake award it is, you can be crowned with the title of international film queen when you return home.

"This one……"

Jiang Qinqin was a little tempted, but after thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "Forget it. I'm not as good as Sister Feihong, and my acting skills are not that good."

"If you're not good at acting, you can learn."

Li Yishu smiled and said, "That's good. I'll tell Zhao Xuan later and ask her to arrange an agent for you. In the second half of the year, see if the company has any suitable TV series. Act in a few more to hone your skills. Then you can try your hand at movies if you have the chance."

"Yeah, then I'll try." Jiang Qinqin was quite interested in being an actor. The reason why she said she wanted to be an assistant was just because she wanted to be with Li Yishu more often.

"Where are you two?" Li Yishu glanced at Alyssa Chia and Xu Jinglei.

"I want to work hard and earn money, so that I can pay back the money I owe to Director Li as soon as possible."

In fact, Alyssa Chia is very confused about the future. How can a girl in her early twenties think so far ahead?

However, there is one thing she always keeps in mind, that is, to work hard after graduation and try to pay back the money she owes Li Yishu.

"Take your time, there's no rush." ​​Li Yishu didn't say anything like you don't have to pay it back.

Although I have had contact with Alyssa Chia many times in the past two years because of Jiang Qinqin, and the money I lent to her father for his medical treatment was just a drop in the bucket, there must be principles in doing anything.

If I say it's a loan, it's a loan.

"no!"

Jia Jingwen quickly shook her head and said, "I am very grateful to Director Li for lending me so much money. After I graduate, I will work hard in filming and make money to pay back Director Li."

"Jingwen, have you ever thought about the fact that you signed a 20-year contract with the company?" Li Yishu said with a smile, "Take your time. I believe you will be able to pay back the money in 20 years. Don't keep talking about it."

Hearing this, Alyssa Chia bit her lip, realizing that Director Li didn't want her to keep thinking about this matter, so she nodded slightly, indicating her agreement.

"Director Li, I want to act in movies and strive to become an international film queen like Teacher Yu."

Seeing Li Yishu looking at her, Xu Jinglei immediately expressed her thoughts.

"If you have an idea, work hard. Since you have signed a contract with the company, the company will definitely try its best to give you resources to help you grow quickly."

Speaking of which, Xu Jinglei's acting skills are quite good among the four major actresses. Some of her early movies and TV series are indeed full of the colors of a literary and artistic young woman.

As his appearance is not particularly outstanding, now that he has become an actor of the Wen Yi Shi Dai under his own company, he can try to hone his acting skills.

Xu Jinglei's face lit up: "Thank you Director Li!"

"You are all actors signed by the company. The more famous you are, the more money you make for me. Why should you thank me?"

Li Yishu waved her hand and glanced at her watch. It was already past eight o'clock, almost nine. She immediately stood up and said, "It's almost time to eat. I'll drive you back to the hotel to rest. Have a good sleep tonight. I'll arrange for someone to pick you up to go to the film and television city tomorrow morning."

"Brother Yishu, are you still going back to Hengdian?" Jiang Qinqin missed Li Yishu very much after not seeing him for a long time, both physically and mentally.

"The crew has an early scene tomorrow morning and they have to start preparing at four or five o'clock. I have to go there early."

Li Yishu ruffled Jiang Qinqin's hair and said with a smile, "You're not staying for just one or two days, there's still a long time to go."

Hearing this, Jiang Qinqin laughed foolishly.

Jia Jingwen and Xu Jinglei just thought that Jiang Qinqin was reluctant to part with her brother Yishu, but Yu Feihong gave Li Yishu a meaningful look.

Everyone packed up and returned to the hotel.

After Li Yishu sent Jiang Qinqin and the other three girls to the same double room, he closed the door and turned around and ran to Yu Feihong's room.

After not seeing each other for two months, Yu Feihong was naturally very enthusiastic.

Fairy Jinghong’s appearance was naturally stunning, but what impressed Li Yishu the most was her inner self.

The water curtain cave is so noisy that it is easy to get wet when entering or exiting.

More than half an hour later, Yu Feihong lay in bed. He had just flown for several hours and had just fought a lot, so he was exhausted.

However, Li Yishu went to the bathroom to take a shower in high spirits. After all, taking a shower in Hengdian is not as convenient and comfortable as in a hotel.

After taking a hot bath, Li Yishu came out and saw Yu Feihong sitting on the edge of the bed with a cigarette in his mouth.

"When did you learn to smoke?"

Li Yishu walked over, took the cigarette out of the other person's mouth, put it in her own mouth and took two puffs.

He hardly smokes usually, but he also smokes sometimes. He was a heavy smoker in his previous life, but after being reborn, he naturally quit for the sake of a healthy body.

Yu Feihong said: "I learned it after my grandmother passed away. I don't smoke much normally."

Hearing about her grandmother, Li Yishu paused and whispered, "Then you should smoke less."

Last year, I accompanied Yu Feihong to her grandmother's funeral. Yu Feihong cried so hard at that time, and it was obvious that she had a very good relationship with her grandmother.

"Well, I don't smoke normally. I just want to learn from the movies and have a cigarette." "Then I have to have a cigarette."

"Don't you have a lot of post-smoking?"

Under Li Yishu's puzzled gaze, Yu Feihong smiled and said, "When you were with Qinqin, didn't you have a cigarette after sex?"

"Ah? What do you mean by after-the-event cigarette? I don't smoke normally, I only smoke occasionally when I'm dining with people for socializing."

Li Yishu smoked a cigarette and pretended to be deaf and dumb.

"Pack!"

Yu Feihong snorted coldly: "Last year, I came to Hengdian to visit the studio. Where did you go in the middle of the night?"

She is not blind. Although Jiang Qinqin and Li Yishu were close in the past, Yu Feihong never thought too deeply about it and just thought that the relationship between the two siblings was good. But when she came to visit the set last year, Yu Feihong woke up in the middle of the night to drink water and found that Li Yishu was not in the bed.

The next day she was on the lookout and indeed discovered that there was something wrong with Jiang Qinqin.

However, Yu Feihong was not the type of person who would make a lot of noise, and he had been mentally prepared to some extent, so he did not say anything that time.

"Ahem!" Li Yishu coughed twice: "Don't smoke anymore, this cigarette is not a good thing."

"Don't change the subject!"

"Feihong, come here, let me hug you."

"Come on this."

"Kiss me."

"No kiss."

Seeing Yu Feihong's cold face, Li Yishu pretended to sigh and said, "I wanted to tell you something happy, but since you don't want to, forget it."

Hearing this, Yu Feihong glanced at him and said hesitantly, "What's the happy news?"

"Don't you want to kiss?"

"Don't talk about knocking me down."

"Well, I said it's not okay."

Li Yishu pretended to be helpless and said, "Director Xie Jin established an acting training school in Shanghai..."

Before he could finish, Yu Feihong asked, "Is Xie Jin the Film and Television Art Academy?"

Li Yishu was surprised: "You know?"

"I know a little bit."

Yu Feihong nodded: "Last year, several students who applied for Beijing Film Academy graduated from this training school. Together with Director Xie and the school... well, that's what I mean."

It's no surprise that Lee Ye-su has inside information.

After all, Beijing Film Academy was not as famous as it is now. In the eyes of many parents, the three major art colleges were just schools for cultivating singing and dancing. What's so good about studying in such schools?

What's more, being an actor at that time was just a job, far from being as dazzling and glamorous as it is now.

Many people have no choice but to go to art school and just want to go to a university to get a diploma.

The most typical example is Qin Hailu. She applied for the Central Academy of Drama purely because she had learned Peking Opera since elementary school and wanted to get a university diploma from the Central Academy of Drama.

Moreover, domestic universities at that time were not as easy to find on the Internet as they are today. Almost all parents only knew Peking University, Tsinghua University, and some universities in their own province. Therefore, in the eyes of parents, only Tsinghua University, Peking University, Normal University and other universities were popular.

The same is true for students. They all have ideals and ambitions, such as becoming scientists, soldiers, or doctors when they grow up...

It's nothing like later, when everyone became a star or an internet celebrity...

Yu Feihong asked, "Why are you mentioning Director Xie's training school?"

"Of course it's cooperation."

"cooperate?"

"Yes, I have already discussed this with Director Xie. I will take a half stake in his training school and would like to arrange for you to be the vice-principal."

"I'm the vice-president? What about my job as a teacher at Beijing Film Academy?"

"Of course I quit."

"Ah? That's not good. This is a university."

Yu Feihong frowned. Director Xie’s training school was called a school, but in fact it was just an ordinary institution, otherwise there wouldn’t be any students coming to Beijing Film Academy to take the art examination.

"Who said Director Xie's school can't become a university?" Li Yishu said with a smile, "I have talked to Director Xie and I plan to apply for the qualification of a private university. This year I will buy land and build a university, and next year I will try to get the application."

When Yu Feihong heard about applying for qualifications for a private university, he immediately became interested: "How many students does the school have now?"

Li Yishu said: "I'm not sure about the exact number, but more than a hundred extras came some time ago, and I saw that there are still many good seedlings. Moreover, I don't plan to train actors, but mainly the creators behind the scenes of the film..."

Private art schools are very common in later generations, and have produced many popular stars. But for Li Yishu, the university he wants to run is definitely not for training actors. The three major domestic universities have trained enough actors, and he wants to focus on behind the scenes of the film industry.

In simple terms, it means cultivating talents related to the film industry.

Personnel in photography, art, music, recording, editing, script management, makeup, costumes, props, set design, lighting, special effects and other related professions.

Why is Hollywood film industry so developed? Because they have a complete industrial foundation.

If we rely solely on the current three major universities for training, we don’t know how long it will take.

Today, Li Yishu is more or less a leader in the domestic film industry. In addition, she has her own company in Hollywood and a TV station in Hong Kong. Naturally, she needs to train more behind-the-scenes staff.

Through the school's systematic training, students can quickly learn and master relevant knowledge during their college years. The benefits of this are naturally self-evident.

Start the journey of domestic film industrialization early.

Listening to Li Yishu's long speech and some things about the Hollywood film industry, Yu Feihong's eyes were shining with admiration.

Hollywood movies are now sweeping the world. Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Terminator, and other films can be said to be exciting to watch, and they make people feel the charm of science fiction from the movies.

Now that Li Yishu wants to promote the process of industrialization of Chinese films, how can Yu Feihong not be excited? If this succeeds, not only will he be remembered in history, but he will definitely be the leader of Chinese film reform.

Thinking of this, Yu Feihong said straightforwardly: "Okay, then I will resign as soon as I get back."

"No rush." ​​Li Yishu smiled and said, "Wait until you finish teaching Qinqin's class first. After all, there is a beginning and an end. Besides, the school is still moving forward. Not only do they need to invest in school construction, but they also need to apply for private university qualifications. I guess you will be able to become a vice president next year."

"Okay, then let's wait until next year." Yu Feihong nodded. It was just in time for her to finish teaching Jiang Qinqin's class, so she could feel that her life was more or less complete.

"There's no rush to resign, but I have something urgent to deal with."

"what's up?"

"Of course, to complete what was not completed before!"

Li Yishu pressed the almost burned-out cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray on the bedside table, and scarlet light splashed out instantly.
