Huayu: I was immediately ensnared by Jing Tian as soon as I entered the industry.

"Believe me, last night was really the first time we met. She is Jiang Wenli's niece, so we chatted for a bit."

Sina media is truly despicable; they secretly took photos of Wang Xuan and Ma Sichun, and the headline they used is quite suggestive.

Upon seeing the news, the young lady dropped her pretense and ran straight back to school.

Sure enough, when Wang Xuan saw her sullen expression, he knew she was overthinking things, so he pulled her aside to explain as soon as get out of class ended.

"You two seem quite close; it doesn't seem like you're meeting for the first time."

The young lady snorted, puffing out her cheeks, remaining skeptical.

"Tian Tian, ​​don't you trust me?"

Looking at the jealous young lady, Wang Xuan asked in disappointment.

Never try to reason with an angry girl.

"I...it's not that I don't believe you, it's just..."

Jing Tian was a little confused; how did it become her fault?

Looking at the adorable young lady, Wang Xuan couldn't help but smile.

This girl is such a jealous little devil.

"Just what? You clearly don't trust me."

"No," Jing Tianyao said softly, shaking her head. "I just wanted to ask."

She looked up at Wang Xuan and noticed the smile on his lips. Only then did she realize that she had come to confront him and had almost been fooled.

Stomping his foot angrily, he said sullenly:

"You're still laughing? I'm ignoring you."

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore."

Wang Xuan stopped smiling and tried to take Jing Tian's hand, but she turned away.

Her cheeks were flushed as she murmured, "Still at school."

The young lady was shy, so Wang Xuan didn't take it any further, but simply looked at her intently:

"Tian Tian, ​​from now on, no matter what you see or hear online, you have to believe me, okay?"

This was the first time Wang Xuan had made no attempt to hide his attitude.

Upon hearing this, Jing Tian's entire face and neck flushed red.

Is this considered a confession?

It was a bit too sudden and not formal enough.

Should I say yes or no?

The young lady opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she just nodded and said "Mmm".

Not far away, Chai Biyun, who was in charge of keeping watch and also watching the drama unfold, smiled like an aunt as she watched the two make up.

"Come on, I'll take you to your homeroom teacher. Just tell her you're back for the exam."

Speaking of exams, Jing Tian's delicate face became troubled. She didn't have much time at the academy this semester and had no confidence in the final exams.

"Xuanxuan, what if I fail the exam?"

Upon hearing this address, Wang Xuan was speechless, and said with a wry smile.

"Let's change how you address me, Brother Xuan or Brother Wang are both fine."

"No, you call me Tian Tian, ​​so of course I have to call you Xuan Xuan. That's fair."

The young lady smiled, quite pleased with the address, but her heart was pounding; it was the first time she had ever been so bold as to address a boy so intimately.

She smiled for a moment, then her face hardened: "This title belongs only to me. Other girls can't call me that. Even if they want to, you have to refuse."

Seeing that the young lady was starting to use her female strengths and become unreasonable, Wang Xuan lowered his stance.

After some back and forth, the young lady relented and agreed to address him as such in private, while continuing to address him as usual in public.

This was considered giving Director Wang some face.

If word gets out, where will he put his face as an outstanding student representative of Beijing Film Academy, a Berlin Film Festival Best Actor, and a director in the billion-yuan club?

Wang Xuan sighed helplessly; his lifelong reputation was temporarily preserved.

···

According to outsiders, the film "Mei Lanfang," scheduled for release on the 5th, was already fully booked in major cinemas by the afternoon of the 4th.

The box office revenue during these 6 hours will be included in the opening day's box office revenue.

Director Chen's special treatment has always made many film companies and directors angry but dare not speak out, because he is the only director in China to win the Palme d'Or, and his investor is China Film Group.

When interviewed by the media, he spoke in a grand and righteous tone: in response to audience demand, to promote market prosperity, and to leave room for low- and medium-budget films.

At school, Wang Xuan would occasionally oversee the post-production work, but the rest of the time he would give the young lady intensive tutoring. With her performance experience, she was already capable of handling the professional courses, so the tutoring focused on her academic subjects.

That day, Wang Xuan had just come out of the editing room when he received a call from his assistant.

The invitation to the premiere of "If You Are the One" was personally delivered to the company by Huayi Brothers, who asked Wang Xuan for his opinion on how to respond.

"Please help me refuse. Just say I'm busy with post-production."

"Okay, boss."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Xuan chuckled, "That's pretty realistic."

In the afternoon, Wang Chunzi called Wang Xuan over, handed him a booklet, and smiled with pride on her face.

"Open it and take a look."

Wang Xuan looked at the admission brochure in his hand, opened it to the first page, which was a brief introduction to the school's illustrious history.

When I turned to the back, I saw what Wang Chunzi had shown him.

A separate page introduces the honors Wang Xuan has received, along with photos.

The Berlin Film Festival Best Actor award and the Hundred Flowers Award trophy, along with his status as a director with box office earnings exceeding 100 million yuan, were only mentioned incidentally.

In the eyes of the acting department, Wang Xuan's status as a Best Actor winner is their teaching achievement.

Upon seeing this year's enrollment plan, vocational college programs have suspended enrollment, and the directing department has suspended enrollment for a year.

The undergraduate program has a total of 440 students, with 75 in the performing arts department, the highest number ever, followed by the animation school.

In recent years, the admissions process has been extremely selective, with only the best candidates being chosen.

In a few years, it will all be people with connections, men and women will all look alike, and fewer and fewer students will be able to make a name for themselves.

Wang Xuan glanced at the art exam schedule; registration would begin on February 1st.

The preliminary exam is on February 5th, the second exam is on February 14th. If I calculate the time, I can make it to the third exam. It wouldn't be bad to experience being an examiner.

···

According to outside observers, "Mei Lanfang" set a new record for art-house films on its opening day.

4号，6小时报收550万，5号当日拿到950万，首日票房合计1500万。

This figure is higher than the opening day box office of many commercial blockbusters, which has drawn criticism from many directors.

Among the blockbusters directed by renowned directors, Wang Xuan spotted Wu Jing's self-directed and self-acted military action film, "Wolf Fang."

Those who try to survive in the cracks are destined to become cannon fodder.

This year's Lunar New Year films have all performed well at the box office.

···

During break, Wang Xuan lay on his desk and poked Jing Tian, ​​the student in front of him, with his pen.

She turned around, her large eyes fixed on Wang Xuan, waiting for him to continue.

"Tian Tian, ​​let's go see a movie together after class."

Upon hearing this, the young lady's face quickly flushed red. Without saying whether she agreed or disagreed, she turned around and pretended to be studying diligently.

Is he asking her out?

I've heard that couples' dates usually start with watching a movie and shopping, and then...

That scoundrel Wang Xuan, that big bad guy, he actually has ulterior motives.

Jing Tian complained while also getting conflicted.

I haven't even officially confessed my feelings yet, so I can't let him get away with it.

That stinky Xuanxuan, always thinking of bad things.

Wang Xuan was unaware of Jing Tian's brainstorming session; he simply wanted to invite her to see Director Chen's masterpiece.
