Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 11 Dreams in Reality
Half a month later, the military training ended peacefully.

Apart from everyone getting a few shades darker, I also made some friends outside the class.

The military training at Beijing Film Academy is quite special. It adopts a mixed team system, with students from different majors undergoing military training together.

The main purpose is to help everyone get familiar with the subject quickly. After all, film production is a systematic project that requires the collaboration of actors, cameramen, directors, props, technology, and producers.

In this way, students from different majors are connected from the beginning, which serves as a good ice-breaker. This way, when students are assigned homework later, it will be convenient for everyone to follow the group.

During this period, Reba and Bai Xue each met with Cheng Xi several times. They had a great time eating and drinking together, and became more familiar with their dormitories.

Especially with Reba, the atmosphere between the two of them feels increasingly unclear.

After the military training, there is the Beijing Film Academy’s annual military training Mid-Autumn Festival Gala.

The liberal arts management class where Cheng Xi was located, under the leadership of class monitor Luo Xinran, also put on a very wonderful dance program. It turned out that those who dared to apply for art colleges were all very talented, and their program was no worse than that of other majors.

The hosts of the evening party were Yang Zi and Li Xian.

The two demonstrated their solid hosting skills and allowed everyone to see the strength of this child star.

But what puzzled Cheng Xi was that Li Xian, the "current boyfriend" who would later become famous, did not look very good now.

She doesn't have the aura of someone who has cheated on half of the entertainment industry. She wears black-framed glasses and doesn't look like a star at all.

However, the fact that he can partner with Yang Zi as the host must mean that he has been recognized by the school.

Maybe I don't have enough vision.

In addition, Cheng Xi had to sigh that the quality of the Beijing Film Academy Mid-Autumn Festival Gala was quite high.

Students' enthusiasm can often create an atmosphere that is less restrictive and demanding, but can easily immerse everyone in it.

Unlike some of the later evening shows, I couldn't watch them at all.

What impressed him most was a girl's piano solo performance.

When he was curious about who this person was, he found out that this was Qi Jiuxiao's volunteer companion whom he met at the entrance at the beginning of the school year:
Huang Mengying.

A sophomore student in the acting department.

Cheng Xi admired her quiet, peaceful and focused temperament.

If he had seen her before his rebirth, he would definitely have invited her to a live broadcast. This kind of sister is very attractive to men.

Even if he sits in front of the live camera and doesn't say anything, he can still attract a lot of fans and tips.

The day after the party ended, Cheng Xi finally received the copyright certification for the script of "Never Expected That".

He quickly sent the scripts of the first two episodes of "Never Expected" to the email address of Jiaoshou Yi Xiaoxing.

It's not that he is cautious, but that he doesn't want to challenge human nature easily.

Sometimes it is also a kind of harm to others.

He had found the contact information of Jiaoshou Yi Xiaoxing through comments on Tudou.com.

The content of the e-mail was not complicated. It just expressed that the author was a fan of his and was inspired by his videos to write the two-episode script of "Never Expected".

Cheng Xi also pointed out in the email that he very much hoped to get his guidance and invited him to be the director to shoot the script into a short video.

Cheng Xi believed that the excellence of the script, or the resonance between the script and Yi Xiaoxing, would impress him.

At least it can attract his interest so that the two of you can connect.

My impression is that he resigned and came to Yanjing in 2011 or 2012, and founded Wanhe Tianyi Company.

I never expected that he became famous when I was a junior in college, so he resigned at least before 2013.

The next thing Cheng Xi thought about was how to contact Bai Ke, because Bai Ke was still unknown, and looking for an unknown person was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

What's more, Bai Ke is just a stage name.

I guess the name Bai Ke hasn't been born yet.

It was really nerve-wracking.

At 9 p.m., the lights at the Mango City Great Wall Design Institute were still brightly lit. Yi Zhenxing and his apprentice were packing up the documents and materials they had reviewed all day, getting ready to leave work.

"Master, we're so busy every day, when will it all end? Every day there's endless materials to look at and endless drawings to draw. I really miss the days of working from nine to five."

The young apprentice complained to his master.

Yi Zhenxing was also very busy all day, but he did not agree with his little apprentice.

Now the company is getting busier and busier, but the performance is getting worse and worse. I don’t know who the money goes to. The inside story is not as simple as the apprentice said.

But as a master, he still wanted to encourage his apprentice not to think too much.

So Yi Zhenxing patted his apprentice on the shoulder and said:
"Hold on a little longer and get off work early. If you really can't take it anymore, I'll give you half a day off tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he carried his tired body and drove for more than half an hour back home. After saying hello to his wife and children, he went into his room and turned on the computer.

Preparing to edit the recent work - Jiaoshou Teaches You Martial Arts.

It turns out that his other identity is a podcaster for Tudou.com, and he is very passionate about this emerging profession.

After all, although he is usually not good at speaking, he was able to make videos on the Internet and share them with the public and gained a large number of fans. This kind of creative joy is something that engineers cannot give.

And he already has good advertising income.

It is precisely because of this that his family supports him.

As usual, he first put on the A4 animal mask he made himself, and then started editing and dubbing.

Yi Zhenxing is very proud of this. He takes care of all the copywriting, editing, music, dubbing, etc. of his videos by himself.

What fans like most about him is his spirit of complaining, rebellion and self-deprecation.

Of course, he doesn't admit what netizens say about him being vulgar.

It doesn't mean that if you join the obscene cult, you become an obscene person.

Before I had hair, I was a handsome man.

It was a little after 1 a.m. when I finally finished making this video that had been delayed for two months.

He quickly uploaded the video to Tudou.com and Mop.com, and as usual, checked his email before going to bed and replied to letters from fans.

He simply copied and pasted the emails that didn't contain much information:

I have received your letter. Thank you for your likes and support. I will keep working hard!
Just delete the trolls directly.

The exceptions are those that are well criticized, which can be used as material for your own complaints.

At this time, he clicked on an email, thinking it was a document sent by a fan.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a script called "Never Expected", and they wanted to invite him to be the director of this script.

Are the fan activities so novel nowadays?
Anyway, since it has been sent, just open it and take a look.

I have to go to bed right after watching it. My wife has urged me several times.

have to work tomorrow.

One minute passed
Three minutes passed.
Ten minutes passed.
Yi Zhenxing's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

My breathing became heavier.

When he saw the line in the script:
"I have no regrets in my life. I remember running under the sunset that afternoon. That was my lost youth."

He slammed the table excitedly and stood up.

It was an electric shock feeling.
That was a resonance that hadn't touched my soul for a long time.
At this moment, Yi Zhenxing thought a lot.

So many things from the past, all the things he regretted, and his youth that had passed away.

And why I came to a state-owned enterprise, why I had to update late at night, and why I wanted to be a podcaster.

Why did I have this unexpected dream?
Looking at this sentence and the two words "Zui Bai" written by the letter writer, he couldn't let it go for a long time.
