Huayu: Becoming a director has been incredibly successful for me.

In early September, Beijing Film Academy

School season

The Beijing Film Academy is becoming increasingly popular.

Normally, there are very few people at the Beijing Film Academy.

Almost half of the students in each acting class are away filming.

Unlike the Central Academy of Drama, which has stricter management of its students, first- and second-year students at the Central Academy of Drama must obtain the director's signature if they want to film outside of school.

Therefore, the head of the acting department at the Central Academy of Drama has much more power than the head of the directing department at the Beijing Film Academy.

Some female students at the Central Academy of Drama, not wanting to miss out on opportunities...

Because opportunities don't wait for anyone; if you don't act, someone else will immediately take the role.

In order to get the director's approval, they even offered their bodies for acting roles.

The most famous of these is the nursery rhyme incident.

This was also a very popular event on Tianya Forum. Rumor has it that in 03, Tong Yao offered herself to the director in order to get his autograph. However, her boyfriend Zhang Guoli's son, Zhang Mo, found out about it, and Tong Yao cried and said that she had been deceived by the director.

Zhang Mo was furious and asked his father for help, so he sued the head of the acting department at the Central Academy of Drama.

But Tong Yao publicly backtracked in court, claiming it was voluntary.

This caused Zhang Mo and his son to lose face completely.

This enraged Zhang Mo, who then discovered the public beating incident at the Central Academy of Drama.

The initial reason was that the director had the authority to sign off on filming trips for actors from the acting department.

But this doesn't happen at the Beijing Film Academy, because they are allowed to go out to film.

Therefore, some students who apply to the Beijing Film Academy are already well-known, and they apply to the academy to make it easier for them to film outside the academy later; while the students of the Central Academy of Drama are basically all ordinary people before entering the academy.

Just like this year.

One of the famous actresses was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy.

Yang Mi, 19 years old.

She was admitted to the 2005 undergraduate class of the Performing Arts Department with the highest score in her major.

Before enrollment.

She already has representative works such as "The Family of Red Powder".

There is also a completed but unreleased film, "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

He was then spotted by director Li Shaohong and signed with Rongxinda Pictures, which he founded.

This director, Li Shaohong, is the vice president of the Directors Guild and was a student in the 78 class of the Directing Department of Beijing Film Academy, along with directors Chen Kaige and Tian Zhuangzhuang.

Yang Mi thought so.

I will be the most talked-about student at Beijing Film Academy this year.

But when I arrived at the college, I realized I was wrong.

Nobody was talking about themselves.

The discussion is about other people.

A low-profile directing student.

Of course, being low-key is also a difference between directors and actors.

You can start acting from a young age.

But it's impossible to direct movies from a young age.

It's a profession where directors only start to achieve success after the age of thirty.

Therefore, directing students generally do not have any works and have no fame.

But this year.

But they are different.

Tian Shun is one of the 2005 graduates of the Directing Department.

"Have you heard? This year, the directing department produced a genius named Tian Shun. He hasn't even enrolled yet, but he's already started making movies."

"Really?"

"Absolutely true, and Tian Shun's background is not simple?"

"How is it not simple?"

"Tian Shun, Tian Shun, what's your surname? It's Tian. What's the head of the directing department's surname?"

"Also surnamed Tian, ​​is he director Tian Zhuangzhuang's biological son? No, Director Tian has children."

"It doesn't belong to Director Tian, ​​it belongs to Director Tian's brother, his nephew." He said this with an air of knowing the inside story.

"Oh, I see. So there's a connection. So you're making a movie before even enrolling. But isn't that a bit too hasty? At least spend two years in the directing department, make a short film, win an award, graduate, and then make a movie." This is the typical process for students with strong family backgrounds.

Are they starting to make a movie right away?

Still before enrollment?

This is far too hasty.

Everyone started discussing this matter enthusiastically.

"Tian Shun, a new student in the directing department, is really talented." She said in a low voice, and seeing that everyone was looking over, she had no choice but to continue, "I have an older brother in Tian Shun's film crew. He's really talented. Don't underestimate him just because he's young. He's no less capable than experienced directors."

"Really? Is this for real? This is a freshman."

"To be precise, it's not freshman year yet; I haven't officially enrolled."

People started discussing it again, all with a disbelieving attitude.

"If you don't believe me, that's fine. I'm too lazy to explain further. You'll find out when the time comes." With that, he left without saying another word.

Tian Shun?

Who is this?

Yang Mi listened to the discussion within the academy.

I became particularly curious.

And all the limelight was stolen by Tian Shun.

……

As for Tian Shun...

I arrived at the Beijing Film Academy early in the morning, at my second uncle's office.

Liu Yifei stayed with her.

Filming for the "female secretary" scene in "Departures" has wrapped.

All of the scenes were filmed in the early stages.

As the third female lead, it's impossible for her to stay on set with the main actress all the time.

Isn't this wasting her time?

But Liu Yifei felt it was alright.

This is also why, apart from "Departures," there have been no other film or television announcements.

Unlike in previous years.

They travel to different film crews, and as soon as one film is finished, the next one is already waiting.

It's like it's been turned off.

"Have some tea." Tian Zhuangzhuang handed over two cups of tea.

"Thank you, Director Tian." Liu Yifei accepted the teacup with both hands.

As an actor at the Beijing Film Academy.

When addressing Tian Zhuangzhuang, everyone called him "Director Tian".

"Liu Yifei, your mentor has been praising you a lot, saying you've brought a lot of honor to the 2002 class of the Performing Arts Department," Tian Zhuangzhuang said, praising Liu Yifei.

His eyes scrutinized her carefully.

It might not work out.

This is my future niece-in-law.

Liu Yifei immediately waved her hand, "It's all thanks to the school's excellent upbringing, and also thanks to the academy, the rumors about me have slowly disappeared."

As for Liu Yifei, she's here.

First, I accompanied Tian Shun to register for school.

Secondly, as a student of the Beijing Film Academy, I should return to the academy during the September semester.

"This is what the academy should do, and besides, you've suffered enough." After chatting with Liu Yifei for a few minutes, Tian Zhuangzhuang looked at Tian Shun with even more appreciation in his eyes, "Xiao Shun, the surprises you give me are getting bigger and bigger."

Praise Tian Shun for her ability to manage the crew.

As Tian Shun listened to the details his second uncle recounted, such as a particular day or an event where he had done something exceptionally right—and he mentioned more than one instance—he said, "Second Uncle, you weren't staying nearby, secretly observing me."

"You think your second uncle has nothing better to do? I'm so busy with things that I haven't had a proper rest for days." Tian Zhuangzhuang didn't keep anyone in suspense, mentioning that he had his own people working behind the scenes in the film crew.

I report on everything that happens on set to myself every day.

If Xiao Shun really can't handle it.

No matter how busy Tian Zhuangzhuang was, he would always go there in person.

but.

Xiao Shun gave himself a huge surprise.

Judging from the report...

Xiao Shun is adept at manipulating people's hearts and knows how to establish authority.

She coordinated the various work groups within the production crew with ease.

He has outstanding directing abilities.

All those qualities combined make him a famous director.

"Second Uncle, are you spying on me?" Tian Shun was speechless.

"This is called the care of elders for younger generations," Tian Zhuangzhuang said with a smile, adding that he would not let that person report it again.

He trusted Tian Shun completely.

We're looking forward to it too.

What will the finished film of Tian Shun's movie be like?

"Second Uncle, don't do that next time, or I'll feel like I'm standing naked in front of you," Tian Shun said, using a metaphor.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei's cheeks flushed.

"Watch your words, there are female classmates here." Tian Zhuangzhuang lightly tapped Tian Shun, then looked at Tian Shun seriously, "Shun, there's something I want to ask you."

"You were on set, and you were saying you wanted to submit the film to international film festivals? Was this meant to encourage everyone on the crew, or did you genuinely have that idea?"
