Director of Photography Department of Huayu

Chapter 40: Acting Department Students Don’t Come and Join in the Fun

Thousands of miles away, in the Xiandu Scenic Area, the winter scenery of Xianling Island is poetic.

A cold wind blew by, and tiny silver ripples appeared on the surface of the lake, like moonlight scattered all over the ground.

Liu Yifei had just finished filming her last scene, and she was standing by the lake in a plain white down jacket wrapped around her slender figure.
Her skin is as white as snow, her facial features are as delicate as porcelain, her eyes are slightly raised, and there is a spirit between her eyebrows, like a pear blossom with dew, with a hint of playfulness hidden in her beauty.

The long hair was blown by the wind and scattered like ink.

Liu Yifei gently rubbed her slightly cold fingertips, and her beautiful face turned slightly red in the cold wind.

"Xixi, drink some ginger soup to warm yourself up." Liu Xiaoli handed over the thermos and rubbed Liu Yifei's arm to see if the down jacket was warm enough.

"Thank you, Mom." Liu Yifei smiled sweetly, took the thermos, and took a sip, the heat spreading around her lips.

I casually opened my phone and was startled by the series of messages on the screen.

Zhou Yang: "Xixi, please don't give Wu Chen's Penguin account to Jiang Yiyan. Remember that!"

Jiang Yiyan: "Yifi, please send me Junior Brother Wu Chen's Penguin account. It's urgent!"

Liu Yifei was stunned, and then she flipped through the chat with Wu Chen. Time was still stuck at two days ago. She pouted, doubts surging in her heart. She took two steps on the dry grass by the lake and called Zhou Yang.

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Yang told Liu Yifei in detail about the film project Wu Chen had obtained and the melee that had ensued on the school BBS.

After finishing his explanation of Wu Chen's situation, Zhou Yang paused and said, "Xixi, if Jiang Yiyan asks you to take Junior Brother Wu Chen's Penguin account, don't give it to her. She has ulterior motives."

"Don't worry!" Liu Yifei nodded. "Besides, without Junior Brother Wu Chen's permission, how could I leak his information without authorization?"

Zhou Yang was stunned: "Yeah, I didn't think about that."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yifei frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes looking at the reeds. The withered shadows swayed, and the cold wind hummed. A trace of sadness flashed across her eyes, like ripples on the surface of a lake.

At this moment, the phone suddenly vibrated. Liu Yifei picked it up and saw that Wu Chen's chat window was flashing.

"Oh, Senior Sister, I forgot to tell you that I have a film project. It's the one you've been asking about."

"Hmph, I thought you didn't consider me your friend anymore." Liu Yifei smiled and muttered softly, her eyes like stars, and tears seemed to flow in the blink of an eye.

In the Beijing Film Academy dormitory, Wu Chen had just finished sending the message and was about to start a fight with his roommates on the BBS.

Xiang Zhuo's keyboard clattered loudly. "Damn it! These bastards in the director department have no moral principles. They can't even scold me, so they call for help."

Chu Tianshu glanced at Xiang Zhuo's post and couldn't help but advise, "Xiang Zhuo, be more civilized! Stop saying 'pu jie' here and 'dump ni lao mu' there, and then ending with 'mu jia chan'. You've really intensified the battle!"

Park Song-il was calm and posted.

Wu Chen saw that the three of them were working so hard for him, so he naturally couldn't fall behind. Just as he was about to take action, Liu Yifei's reply popped up:
"Hehe, congratulations, Junior Brother, but you're too late. Zhou Yang has already told me. I'll speak up for you on the post when I get home tonight!"

Wu Chen looked at the letter and smiled slightly. He was thinking about what to reply, but when he saw the word Zhou Yang, an idea flashed in his mind.

The role of the violin was originally intended to be given to Wang Jinsong as a favor. Zhou Yang is just right for the role in terms of age and appearance.

This is Xi Shi in "King Gou Jian of Yue" and Yang Chan, the Third Holy Mother in "The Legend of the White Snake".

Wu Chen immediately edited the message and said, "By the way, Senior Sister, please do me a favor."

"Okay, you say!" Liu Yifei agreed without hesitation, happily stepping on the dry grass by the lake, making a rustling sound.

In the distance, Liu Xiaoli called out, "Xixi, the wind is strong. Come here! We need to prepare for the next scene!"

Liu Yifei waved her hand and trotted over, not forgetting to glance at the message from Wu Chen on her phone.

"There's a violinist role in the movie, and Senior Sister Zhou Yang is suitable. Can you ask her if she's willing?"

"Okay, leave it to me."

"No, I have to call for help too." Xiang Zhuo suddenly took out his cell phone.

"Who are you calling? Do you need to call?" Wu Chen and the other two looked over.

"They must be calling the two girls in our class. Girls fight fiercely, and we're too weak." Xiang Zhuo shook his head and started making calls without stopping. Meanwhile, in the principal's office at Beijing Film Academy.

Zhang Huijun sat in a large office chair, picked up the cup and took a sip of Longjing tea, watching the battle on the school forum with a smile on his face, shook his head slightly, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

As young people, it’s good to be a little noisy.

Moreover, the more noise Wu Chen makes, the more it will demonstrate his current insightful vision of "promoting talents in all kinds of ways" if he succeeds in the future.

He looked at all eight projects. To be honest, Wu Chen's project was the most amazing, while the others were mediocre.

The only risk is that Wu Chen is too young, but he still trusts Lao Mu's vision.

As for failure, he just smiled secretly, thinking that the only successful project funded by Norfilm every year was one, and it was not worth mentioning at all.

No matter how things develop in the end, he is in a safe position!

Thinking of this, Zhang Huijun's smile became more intense. He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and enjoyed the warm winter sun outside the window.

Although the directing department is strong, the photography department is also not bad, after all, it is the orthodox department of Beijing Film Academy.

People from the two major departments fought back and forth on the BBS for a whole day.

In the evening, Liu Yifei returned to the hotel and couldn't wait to turn on the computer. She took a look at the post and was immediately stunned.

"So much news." Liu Yifei opened her mouth wide, pulled the mouse, took a look, and an eye-catching headline came into her eyes.

A photography freshman gets 200,000 yuan in investment? Beijing Film Academy is turning into a playground!

"Well, these seniors from the directing department are so annoying. They don't understand Junior Brother Wu Chen at all. They're talking nonsense!" Liu Yifei frowned and clicked on it to take a look. She immediately became angry.

Do some people treat filmmaking like a game? How can a young man who hasn't even done a storyboard get investment? Does he really think he's the reincarnation of Kurosawa Akira?

As a freshman director, have you finished your high school homework? Would you like some seniors to teach you how to calculate a film budget?

"That's too much!" Liu Yifei pouted, her delicate little hands typing frantically on the keyboard.

"Why can't Junior Brother Wu Chen shoot? Is Beijing Film Academy owned by your family? How do you know Junior Brother Wu Chen has never drawn a storyboard? You know nothing and you're just talking nonsense here."

After sending it, she stared at the screen and snorted.

"Hey, who is this 'Fei Lai Fei Qu'? His fighting ability is quite weak, but his replies are quite active." On the other side, Xiang Zhuo yawned and asked while looking at the screen in front of him.

"Hmm? Xiang Zhuo, can you tell me your name again?" Park Songri reacted and asked again uncertainly.

"'Phi-la-phi-qu'!"

"Damn, that's Senior Sister Liu Yifei." Park Songri said in surprise.

"Brother Chen, did you call him?" Chu Tianshu and Xiang Zhuo turned to look at Wu Chen, "Did you call Fairy Sister to help?
I take back what I said earlier. Although her fighting ability is indeed quite weak, she can't curse people and only knows how to convince people with reason. Oh, no, she even revealed her identity. She's got guts."

"Get to work!" Wu Chen didn't explain. He was actually enjoying the process of spraying. Looking at the three people in the dormitory, he couldn't help but smile. This was probably the feeling of being young.

"Those from the acting department, don't join in the fun!"

Liu Yifei, who was in the room, was immediately dissatisfied when she saw the director's reply. She even refused to drink the hot milk that Liu Xiaoli brought her and was very busy with her hands.

In Dong Xuan's dormitory, a few people had just returned from outside. Guan Yue quickly opened the website and said, "I wonder how far the battle has progressed. By the way, Xuan'er, Xuxu, which side are you two supporting?"

"Isn't this nonsense? It must be Junior Brother Wu Chen." Yin Xu said speechlessly.

"Yeah!" Dong Xuan nodded slightly.

"Oh my god, I thought we were the first ones from the acting department to speak up for Wu Chen, but sophomore Liu Yifei is here too!"

Guan Yue took a look and exclaimed.
