The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 182 Teacher? No, it's the teachers

September 2002, 9, at the gate of Beijing Film Academy

The new students of Beijing Film Academy and some of the old students who had taken over the welcoming work saw the door of a nanny car that looked very expensive open, and a beautiful girl in a long floral dress and with long hair walked out. However, the girl was wearing a pair of big sunglasses, so her appearance could not be seen clearly.

But even if her face was covered with sunglasses, it was still possible to tell that the girl was extremely beautiful. Some people even vaguely felt that her nose, mouth, and chin looked familiar.

After she got off the bus, a boy who was about 1.8 meters tall, well-proportioned, wearing a white T-shirt and black casual pants, came over. His hairstyle was different from the long hair of the common "flower boys". Instead, he had short hair no longer than half a finger. He also wore big sunglasses, but he also had a black mask on, covering his face tightly.

"Sissi, walk slower."

This boy was naturally Zhang Chen, who was sneaky and didn't want to be seen. Liu Yifei didn't say much along the way, but he was trying to find topics to talk about.

Zhang Chen said in the morning, "It's not like we haven't seen this before when we were children." Liu Yifei was angry all the way.

Although he didn't know what nerves the little girl had been touched, it was Zhang Chen who had provoked her, so he had to be the one to comfort her.

Zhang Chen trotted two steps and followed behind Liu Yifei, wanting to hide behind her and talk to her in a place with fewer people.

However, Liu Yifei, who was walking in front, seemed to sense someone behind her and stopped suddenly, almost bumping into Zhang Chen who was walking with his head down.

"Did you forget to bring anything?"

When Zhang Chen saw Liu Yifei stop, his first reaction was that she had left something in the car.

However, Liu Yifei didn't say anything after turning around. She first looked Zhang Chen up and down, and then raised the corner of her mouth slightly.

Zhang Chen felt an ominous premonition.

"Hey, are you Zhang Chen?!"

Liu Yifei covered her mouth with one hand and pointed at Zhang Chen in front of her with the other.

This performance is so fake that it may not pass the interview at Beijing Film Academy.

But it worked, and the students and parents around all looked over here in an instant.

Just now they were still guessing who these two mysteriously dressed people were, although they didn't understand why two people who obviously knew each other would pretend to be surprised and say the other person's name.

But they didn't have time to think about it, and instead focused their attention on Zhang Chen.

"Zhang Chen?!"

"real or fake?!"

"Didn't he say he was filming and couldn't come?!"

The moment the crowd rushed over, Liu Yifei ran out of the encirclement, stood on the periphery with her arms folded across her chest, and looked at Zhang Chen who was surrounded by hundreds of students' parents from afar.

"Let you talk nonsense, huh~"

What happened last night was already very embarrassing. Liu Yifei had planned to pretend nothing had happened in the morning, but it was fine for Zhang Chen to apologize, but what did he mean by "didn't I see this as a kid?"
Zhang Chen's attitude of always treating her like a child really made Liu Yifei very angry, but she was indeed still a child, so she didn't know where to vent her anger.

The result was that the more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Just now, he saw so many people around and gave Zhang Chen a "warm welcome".

"Yifei, this is not a good idea, right?"

"Sister Ningning, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Liu Yifei stuck out her tongue embarrassedly and apologized to Xue Yining in a low voice.

She was indeed angry, but it was not only Zhang Chen who suffered, but also Xue Yining and the bodyguards who were originally in the car to deal with emergencies.

Zhang Chen values his life very much, especially when he is abroad, so he is basically always accompanied by bodyguards.

I originally wanted to sneak in today, but ended up being "ambushed" by Liu Yifei.

Fortunately, the bodyguards following the car reacted promptly and quickly got out to protect Zhang Chen, otherwise he would have been squeezed and unable to move by the excited students.

It took a full half hour for the crowd to disperse under the guidance of school security personnel and Zhang Chen's own bodyguards.

"Zhang Chen, why do you always make such a big noise every time you come to our school?"

The old principal was basically determined to retire, and it was Principal Zhang who came to greet Zhang Chen.

He was also very happy that his school had such an outstanding student like Zhang Chen.

For this reason, many of the freshmen in this class came to Beijing Film Academy from other places specifically to establish some relationship with Zhang Chen.

"I don't want to either, Principal Zhang. I just... Forget it. Sorry to trouble you."

Zhang Chen originally wanted to explain, but it was too troublesome to explain the cause and effect of this farce, and others might not be interested, so it would be more practical to apologize.

"It's no trouble. I heard that you were going to report today, and I wanted to talk to you about something. Now it's a good opportunity to save the trouble of looking for you everywhere. Let's go?"

"Please."

The two of them left the crowd, one in front and one behind.

When Zhang Chen passed by Liu Yifei, he gave her a look, meaning that she should follow Xiao Xue to report.

Liu Yifei deliberately turned her head away and didn't look at him.

"The person standing next to Assistant Xue just now should be Yifei, right?" When the two of them were halfway there, there were fewer people around, and Principal Zhang started talking to Zhang Chen.

Xue Yining, Zhang Chen's assistant, handles many matters concerning Zhang Chen.

Don’t think that Xue Yining usually acts like a invisible person around Zhang Chen.

He doesn't appear in front of the camera very often.

But in the eyes of people in the circle, no one dares to underestimate this girl who is only in her early twenties.

Although her position is a star assistant, she actually does all the work as a secretary for the big boss Zhang Chen.

Therefore, many people have a deep impression of this little girl Xue Yining. Even people who have never met her will remember her face firmly.

"Well, she's reporting in with me today."

Zhang Chen didn't know why Principal Zhang brought up this topic, so he could only answer according to his wishes.

"You two are both on the set filming, do you have time to study in school?"

"With teacher Chen Daoming and director Jiang Wen in the crew, we can ask them for advice on many performance issues. We have benefited a lot in this one month."

"When we asked you to come to our school, we old guys met and talked about it. We also discussed your situation. Do you want to hear our advice?"

"Excuse me, elders. Please speak."

However, Zhang Chen decided to enter Beijing Film Academy, but had not yet decided which specific major to study.

According to the original idea, he should enter the acting department to further study acting, which would also be helpful when he needs to act in film and television dramas in the future.

But then he considered that his company didn't seem to have any decent film directors at the moment, and he had a lot of excellent stories in his mind, but lacked the professional knowledge to film them.

So he also considered entering the directing department for further studies.

Entering the directing department does not necessarily require him to direct the film himself, the main purpose is to produce a complete script.

By introducing Hollywood's producer-centered system, Morning Light Entertainment will be able to quickly produce high-grossing, high-quality, and well-received films.

If you calculate it this way, he still needs to learn a lot of knowledge. He needs to understand the relevant knowledge of screenwriting, directing, acting, producing, etc.

So the matter of choosing a major was delayed until the start of school.

So far, he has only completed the admission procedures under the name of the Department of Performance.

"We have discussed this, and you know that you can't stay in school for a long time, so the specific major is not that important to you."

"This"

Zhang Chen was also a little embarrassed. The school principal pointed out to him in person that he would be absent from classes for a long time in the future. There was always something strange about the situation.

"You don't have to be embarrassed. We all know it."

Principal Zhang reached out to stop Zhang Chen from explaining. He then invited Zhang Chen to sit down in his office, made a cup of tea for him, and continued:

"I know you have more important things to do, but there's nothing wrong with learning more. You should also want to make a career in the film and television industry. Maybe not for yourself, but your company should need you to make a difference in the film and television industry, right?"

"Indeed, after we joined the WTO this year, there is a market of more than one billion people waiting to be developed. It is impossible for Morning Light Entertainment to leave such a large market alone."

"That's easy. Since you are also interested in making a career in the film and television industry, and our school has made a great promise in front of several major universities."

Principal Zhang smiled. He had already made sufficient preparations for this day. "Besides the TV series you are currently filming, you should have two more TV series to act in later, right?"

"Yes, Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils and The Return of the Condor Heroes."

"I heard from Han Sanping that your company will start filming movies this year or next year, right?"

"Yes, I did mention this to President Han at the beginning."

"Have you ever thought of treating your time filming a TV series as an internship?"

Principal Zhang's words were like a ray of sunshine shining into Zhang Chen's confused heart. He put down the cup and looked at Principal Zhang with some surprise: "What do you mean?"

"I plan to arrange for several professional teachers to follow you during the filming. They will teach you the relevant knowledge of film and television production, including acting, filming, production, scheduling, post-production, etc. How much you can learn depends on you."

"Principal, this might not be a good idea."

This special treatment is a bit too much. I wonder how the outside world would comment if they knew about it.

"What are you thinking? You have to pay their salaries. You are such a big boss, don't treat them unfairly."

"Don't worry about that. I will definitely not treat them unfairly. I just don't know who the teachers you hired for me are?"

Beijing Film Academy can be regarded as the cradle of Chinese filmmakers. Countless outstanding talents in the film and television industry have graduated from here.

Just talking about directors, the most famous ones currently, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, graduated from Beijing Film Academy.

"Well, you should know when you return to the crew."
