Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 42 Second Meeting
After more than half an hour of bumpy ride, the car finally stopped slowly north of Jimen Bridge. He couldn't wait to squeeze out of the car with the crowd.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Hu Xiaobei first took a quick walk of dozens of steps, and then took a deep breath of fresh air with the fragrance of grass and trees outside. The refreshing feeling went straight to his heart.

While breathing greedily, he stretched his back and arms, which had been tense and sore all the way, and stretched his arms upwards, with his joints making a "cracking" sound.

Then he slowed down and took a leisurely stroll.

Along the way, my fingers gently brushed against the green leaves on the roadside, making a rustling sound.

The familiar campus scenery gradually appeared in the field of vision, the ears caught the occasional bird calls, and the breeze gently brushed the cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness.

He was alone, and returning to school felt like returning home.

I arrived at the library without realizing it, and only then did I remember what I was going to do.

I can arrange my study plan according to my own thoughts today, but I won’t be able to do that tomorrow.

Because he had previously announced part of his learning progress to the media, Principal Zhang and others were deeply shocked.

Just after finishing the media interview yesterday, I couldn't wait to set up a set of auxiliary learning plans for Hu Xiaobei.

Starting from the 15th, Beijing Film Academy arranged teachers to teach Hu Xiaobei, and he needed to take one afternoon every day to take private lessons.

Hu Xiaobei can understand the school's operations and arrangements, but he also has his own considerations.

He only needs to demonstrate his relevant professional knowledge in front of the tutors, and he can smoothly transform the private class time into question and answer time.

A lot of knowledge in books cannot be understood without practice.

For example, when Hu Xiaobei was memorizing recipes before, he couldn't accurately grasp the so-called appropriate amount and a certain amount just by looking at the text.

The same is true for film and television majors. Theoretical knowledge is the foundation, and true knowledge comes from practice.

The mentors at Beijing Film Academy undoubtedly have a wealth of practical experience, not to mention how many dramas they have filmed, how many personal works they have, and how many awards they have won.

But one thing is that they must have experienced practical operations.

You should know that Beijing Film Academy has its own recording studio, photography studio, production room and so on.

Besides, the Sixth Princess is next door, so she doesn’t need to leave the school. Even if there are only some small tasks arranged, it is enough to practice one or two things.

Based on such learning resources and arrangements, Hu Xiaobei has also formed his own unique learning model.

In this way, Hu Xiaobei runs every morning to exercise, feeling the collision of his feet with the ground and sweating.

In the morning, I used my spiritual perception ability to quickly read and understand various professional knowledge. My eyes quickly moved between the lines and my brain was working at a rapid pace.

In the afternoon, I received guidance from mentors from Beijing Film Academy, and in the evening I started writing.

Although it is said that he is receiving guidance, in fact, Hu Xiaobei just asks questions and the tutors are responsible for answering and resolving his doubts.

There's no way around it. He has accumulated too much theoretical knowledge. If his instructor teaches and tests him based on the contents of the book, even if he asks with the book in hand, it may not be helpful.

As the learning process progresses, problems gradually emerge.

More and more tutors came to President Zhang to complain, and Beijing Film Academy had no choice but to change its thinking.

For the time being, he will be allowed to practice and explore in the photography studios and production rooms on campus, and relevant instructors will be responsible for answering his questions and providing guidance.

Only in this way can we barely satisfy Hu Xiaobei's thirst for knowledge brought about by his increasingly rich knowledge reserves.

In view of the amazing learning progress and great potential demonstrated by Hu Xiaobei.

Considering that he doesn't have to wait until the new semester officially starts, it will be difficult for Beijing Film Academy to meet his learning needs and provide him with more substantive instruction.

Based on this assessment of the situation, the top management of the Beijing Film Academy attached great importance to it and held a special internal meeting to discuss solutions in depth. Principal Zhang frowned, his thick eyebrows twisted into an unsolvable knot. His eyes slowly scanned the faces of the people, a solemn and anxious expression in them.

Then, he said in a low and powerful voice: "Everyone, Hu Xiaobei's learning progress is obvious to all.

We need to come up with a solution for this matter quickly, otherwise when school starts, he can apply to graduate directly..."

The director of teaching tapped the pen in his hand lightly, and the tip of the pen made a "tapping" sound when it touched the table. It was particularly clear in the slightly quiet meeting room.

His eyes were focused and showed a hint of worry, and he quickly responded: "Principal, if the on-campus teaching can't keep up, then let's do some on-campus practice.

Also, the crew needs to work harder on gathering information, mobilize their connections, and find the right opportunity as soon as possible. We can't let this kid just sit here and wait."

Instructor A, who didn't deserve a name, leaned forward, gesturing with his hands in the air, his expression anxious, and his speech unconsciously quickened a bit: "Let's not talk about when to join the crew yet, we have to let him simulate the experience first.

Let him touch the photographic equipment, feel the weight and operation, pay attention to the details of the simulated scene, experience the tense atmosphere on the set, and become familiar with the key points of emergency handling.

Interpersonal communication is also crucial. We need to teach him how to get along well with different people in the crew so that he can integrate smoothly."

Mentor B, who also did not deserve a name, sat upright like a tall pine tree, his expression as serious as a sculpture.

His words were resounding and weighty: "When selecting a crew, we can't just look at alumni; we have to consider the production quality and subject matter.

Art films can cultivate artistic sense, and commercial films can help you understand the market, so that you can develop comprehensively.

If the crew is indeed suitable, we can also find a way to communicate."

Tian Zhuangzhuang nodded slightly, shaking his head up and down, revealing a sense of determination that comes from deep thought. He added firmly: "Movies are good, but he learns quickly. My suggestion is... start with the TV crew first.

It would be best if it was a large and popular crew, and it would be even better if it was a crew led by one of our own.

Also, we can’t just leave him alone after he joins the team; he needs someone to look after him, communicate with him regularly, and help him make up for his shortcomings when he comes back, forming a good cycle.”

Principal Zhang nodded continuously while listening to everyone's speeches. The frequency of his head moving up and down seemed to be keeping the rhythm of everyone's suggestions.

The originally solemn expression on his face gradually relaxed, becoming firm and confident, like the bright sunshine after the haze dissipated.

Finally, he slammed the table, and the sound of "bang" echoed in the conference room.

Then he said loudly: "Okay! Let's do as everyone said. Practice, find the crew, and the mentors to provide preliminary guidance.

We must train this top student well and don't let the outside world underestimate our Beijing Film Academy!"

After reaching a consensus at the meeting, we immediately began to mobilize the relationship networks of all parties.

Beijing Film Academy began to collect comprehensive information about the crews that were about to start filming, in order to open up a broader space for learning and practice for Hu Xiaobei.

In this way, Norfilm has made full use of the resources it can provide, and the media should not be able to find any fault with it.

As for joining the crew to study later, he will be assigned to a crew with well-known alumni of Beijing Film Academy. How much he can learn depends on Hu Xiaobei himself.

After all, theory and practice are two different things.
-
In the blink of an eye, it was already mid-August.

During this period, Hu Xiaobei's two books have also been officially released.

Relying on the reputation of the strongest college entrance examination champion, Huaxia Publishing House printed the first print run of 10 copies, which were sold out in a short time.

The publishing house urgently printed an additional 20 copies. Judging from the sales situation, there is a trend of supply exceeding demand in the future.

The publishing house was naturally delighted, so they decided that if sales did not drop, they would print more copies every week.
