Chapter 5: The Two Sing in Harmony
When Zhang Qilin returned to school and inquired, he learned that Teacher Wang had gone to accompany students to auditions early in the morning, and no one knew when he would return.
After graduating from Beijing Film Academy, Wang Chunzi stayed on to teach and was the class advisor for the 07 undergraduate class of the Performing Arts Department.
With the connections Ms. Wang has built up at the school over the years, things would be much simpler if she were willing to help.
However, with the person currently not at the academy, Zhang Qilin's plan could not proceed.
11:00
Before he could even get in touch with Teacher Wang, Zhang Qilin had already prepared for the worst.
If he couldn't get in touch with them again by 12:30, he had no choice but to ask other teachers for help.
11:30
Zhang Qilin called Jing Tian.
As soon as the call connected, Jing Tian's voice came through:
"Da Lin, have you thought of a solution?"
"Not yet. I'm contacting Teacher Wang. If I'm not there this afternoon, please try to stall for time."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Qilin went to the cafeteria and ate his meal.
12:30
Zhang Qilin dialed the number again, but it was still busy.
He carried the paper bag containing the rolls towards the Performing Arts Department administration building.
Downstairs in the administration building, Zhang Qilin leaned against the wall, his eyes scanning the road to see if any familiar teachers were passing by.
A moment later, a figure walked over from a distance.
As the figure drew closer, Zhang Qilin recognized the person as Wang Jinsong, his acting teacher.
Teacher Wang always has that kind and approachable look; seeing him makes me think of rubber bands.
Time was of the essence, so Zhang Qilin composed himself and quickly went to greet him.
"Hello, Teacher Wang."
Wang Jinsong looked at Zhang Qilin and gave him a friendly, neighborly smile:
"Zhang Qilin, is something the matter?"
Just as Zhang Qilin was about to speak, his phone rang.
He glanced down at the caller ID, then looked up at Wang Jinsong and said:
"No, I just happened to be passing by and wanted to say hello."
Wang Jinsong nodded with a smile:
"If you have something to do, then go ahead and get busy."
After saying that, he walked into the administration building.
Zhang Qilin then answered the phone, and Wang Chunzi's voice came through:
"Zhang Qilin, why are you contacting the teacher in such a hurry? Is there a problem with the contract? Do you need any proof from the college?"
"No, it's not Mr. Wang, it's just that I need your help with something else. When will you be back?"
"It will be at least 3 o'clock for me. If you're in a hurry, I can contact other teachers for you."
"No need, only you can handle this."
"Okay, then wait for me in the office. I'll head back as soon as I'm done here."
"Okay, Teacher Wang."
Zhang Qilin hung up the phone, walked into the administration building, and went into Wang Chunzi's office.
15:40
Zhang Qilin was looking at his phone when the door was pushed open from the outside.
"Zhang Qilin, tell me about your situation."
Zhang Qilin looked up at the door and saw a light blue figure stride in.
Wang Chunzi sat behind her desk, her gaze fixed on Zhang Qilin.
"Teacher, it's like this..."
What will Zhang Qilin do, and what obstacles will he encounter? Please explain in detail.
After hearing Zhang Qilin's words, Wang Chunzi asked in confusion:
"Zhang Qilin, weren't you going to sign with an entertainment company and debut through a talent show? Why are you suddenly going to intern at the Beijing People's Art Theatre?"
"My family keeps urging me to take the civil service exam, but the contract my company is offering is just too unfair..."
Wang Chunzi nodded. She knew about some of the operations of entertainment companies, but this was a hurdle that every newcomer had to go through to enter the industry.
As a teacher, she can only do her best to help students avoid pitfalls, but she is powerless to change the status quo of the industry.
She said earnestly:
"I'm teaching this class because I hope each of you will have a bright future, so that I, as your teacher, can have something to be proud of."
"When you and Teacher Zhang had a conflict due to differing philosophies, I didn't intervene because I wanted to see your attitude."
"Since you want to apply to the Beijing People's Art Theatre, your teachers will definitely support you. I'll try to sound out Teacher Zhang in the next couple of days..."
Zhang Qilin quickly said:
"Teacher, the selection process for internships at Beijing People's Art Theatre ends this afternoon."
Wang Chunzi immediately stood up:
"Why didn't you say so sooner? Let's go."
As she spoke, she pulled Zhang Qilin towards the door.
Zhang Qilin took a scroll from the paper bag next to him:
"Teacher Wang, this is something I wrote especially for you when I visited my elders."
Wang Chunzi initially wanted to decline, but then he saw the scroll unfurled with the calligraphy "Peach and Plum Trees All Over the World".
I couldn't help but admire how beautifully it was written and how wonderful the meaning was.
Which teacher who educates and nurtures students wouldn't crave such recognition?
Zhang Qilin said:
"I noticed your office has some empty space, so I thought I'd hang it up."
"I can't accept something so valuable," Wang Chunzi said, shaking her head.
"Teacher Wang, I'm graduating soon, this is a token of my appreciation," Zhang Qilin said, rolling up the calligraphy again and placing it on his desk.
He picked up the paper bag:
"Teacher, if we don't go soon, I'm afraid Teacher Zhang will leave after get off work."
Upon hearing this, Wang Chunzi led Zhang Qilin away from the office quickly.
On the way to Zhang Hua's office, Wang Chunzi gave him instructions as they walked:
"When you meet Teacher Zhang, you must be sincere. He can be a bit stubborn at times, but he is kind-hearted. If you do your best, he will definitely give you a chance."
Zhang Qilin nodded seriously.
Soon, the two arrived at Teacher Zhang Hua's office.
Wang Chunzi said to Zhang Qilin:
"I'll go in first, you wait at the door and I'll call you."
Zhang Qilin nodded and leaned against the wall.
Wang Chunzi gently knocked on the door, and a voice came from inside:
"Please come in."
Pushing open the door, Wang Chunzi entered the room, where she saw Teacher Zhang Hua and Jing Tian standing in the center of the room.
With his back to the door, Zhang Hua held a thick notebook in one hand and pointed at something with the other.
Jing Tian listened while taking notes in her notebook.
Zhang Hua turned around and saw Wang Chunzi come in, and asked with a kind smile:
"Teacher Wang, please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
Wang Chunzi smiled and replied:
"No rush, you go ahead with your work."
When Jing Tian saw Teacher Wang come in, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She knew Zhang Qilin had arrived, and she no longer needed to make excuses to stall for time.
Her big eyes quickly scanned the doorway, but she didn't see anyone. However, she knew that Zhang Qilin must be there.
She smiled brightly and greeted Wang Chunzi warmly:
"Hello, Teacher Wang."
Wang Chunzi smiled and nodded, gesturing with her eyes for her to listen attentively to the lesson.
Zhang Hua said to Jing Tian:
"Focus your attention, let's get through this last bit."
Jing Tian immediately suppressed her smile and regained her focused expression.
Zhang Hua pointed to a paragraph in the notebook:
"When reciting this line, first inhale, keeping your abdomen rising, and when saying 'okay,' hold your breath to avoid weakness..."
Zhang Qilin listened for a minute while hiding outside the door, then secretly peeked inside and found that Teacher Zhang Hua had her back to the door.
He thought for a moment, then took out his phone and started filming the two of them.
A few minutes later, Zhang Hua closed the notebook and nodded to Jing Tian:
That's all for today. You need to practice the key points I just mentioned repeatedly when you get home.
"Thank you, Teacher Zhang," Jing Tian replied obediently, closing her notebook.
Wang Chunzi's voice rang out at that moment, warm and natural:
"Jing Tian, you should cherish the opportunity to learn from Teacher Zhang. Teacher Zhang is a senior professor in the college with rich teaching experience. He can often enlighten people with just a few words."
Jing Tian was about to nod in agreement, but then her eyes darted around, and she continued the conversation:
"Teacher Wang is right. I have benefited greatly from learning from Teacher Zhang these past few days. Many things that I didn't understand before have become clear after Teacher Zhang's guidance."
Speaking from experience, Wang Chunzi added earnestly:
"You should ponder what Teacher Zhang said repeatedly when you get back. You'll understand it differently each time. It was only after Teacher Zhang's guidance that I truly understood and was later given the opportunity to stay at the school as a teacher."
Jing Tian's face showed an expression of admiration at just the right moment.
Then, a look of worry appeared in her large eyes:
"My senior classmates all say that Professor Zhang's class is the most valuable, but they also say that Professor Zhang is very strict. I am worried that I am not good enough and that I might offend Professor Zhang by saying something wrong."
"Don't be afraid," Wang Chunzi encouraged gently. "Ask questions boldly. As long as you are sincere in your studies, even if you make a big mistake, Teacher Zhang will forgive you."
"Really, Teacher Zhang?" Jing Tian blinked her clear, big eyes and looked earnestly at Zhang Hua.
As Zhang Hua listened to the two praising each other, his face remained calm, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.
When Jing Tian asked him a question, he adopted the demeanor of a teacher:
"As long as you are genuinely interested in learning, teachers will never hold a grudge against verbal offenses. Sometimes, the more you discuss a problem, the clearer it becomes. Only by eliminating the dross and retaining the essence can you see the truth."
After saying that, he turned to Wang Chunzi:
"Teacher Wang, what brings you here today...?"
Wang Chunzi said with a warm smile:
"Professor Zhang truly deserves to be the most outstanding professor in the academy; his magnanimity is unparalleled..."
"Alright," Zhang Hua interrupted her with a smile, "After all these years, don't I know you? What's on your mind? It's almost time to get off work."
Wang Chunzi coughed lightly and said:
"Don't worry, Professor Zhang, I will never delay the college's best professor from leaving get off work..."
"Don't say that, it wouldn't be good if other teachers heard. Everyone here is quite excellent," Zhang Hua waved her hand in denial, but her tone revealed her current mood.
Wang Chunzi said with a smile:
"Then it's a deal, no matter what I say, you're not allowed to get angry."
Zhang Hua waved his hand:
"Just say whatever you want, I won't get angry."
"Zhang Qilin, come in," Wang Chunzi called out to the door.
Zhang Qilin walked in from outside the door.
When Zhang Hua saw that it was Zhang Qilin, the smile on his face vanished instantly, and his expression turned serious.
Wang Chunzi pretended not to see the expression on Zhang Hua's face and pulled Zhang Qilin closer:
"Teacher Zhang, Zhang Qilin is my student. After hearing about what happened between him and you, I severely criticized him, and he has deeply realized his mistake. I brought him here to apologize to you."
After saying that, he pushed Zhang Qilin forward.
