Entertainment 1998

Chapter 50 Chapter 50, Return to Beijing

"Well... Jiang Feng, although I am still an actor at the Beijing Film Studio's Performing Arts Talent Center, I won't be one soon." Pulling a chair over and sitting next to Jiang Feng, Xu Jinglei poured herself a glass of wine while smiling:

"Yesterday, I received a call from the center's leader, who said that the Film Academy is currently lacking excellent acting teachers, so the higher-ups are considering transferring me over to do front-line teaching work.

I agreed.

The four years I spent at the film academy was a turning point in my life and a very important part of my acting career. I had a lot of regrets when I was in school. I didn’t fully understand many of the things the teachers taught me at the time, and I could only gradually comprehend them through later performance practice.

It has been a year since I left the academy. This time I went back to continue to improve and supplement myself. The performance practice of an actor is actually a process of releasing, recharging, and releasing again and again. I hope that my study and practice can form a virtuous circle.

Of course, promises are promises.

At the beginning, I won’t teach the class right away. Although I have filmed some dramas in recent years and have relatively more practical experience in acting, my theoretical knowledge is still insufficient. I hope to take some classes before teaching.

So, after the school starts in September, I will first serve as an assistant teacher to some teachers with rich teaching experience, such as Cui Xinqin, the head teacher of the undergraduate class of the 9 acting department…”

“Pah…”

Before Xu Jinglei finished her words, the chopsticks in Jiang Feng's hand fell onto the table with a crisp sound.

.........

Xu Jinglei used to be a teacher at Beijing Film Academy.

But that was only started in September 2003, and after becoming a teacher in the acting department, she kept a low profile until 9 when the matter was exposed by some boring gossip media.

But now, thanks to the flapping of her wings, Xu Jinglei's job was brought forward by 5 years. What's even more speechless is that after she arrived at the Film Academy, the first thing she did was not a teacher, but an assistant teacher, and an assistant teacher to Cui Xinqin at that.

Hiss..., this made Jiang Feng feel a little toothache.

Imagine this: a buddy is sitting in the classroom, and just as he was about to exchange glances with his girlfriend Yan Danchen, at this moment, a pair of sharp eyes appeared on the podium and stared at him. Jiang Feng, stay calm, don't waste time!
Of course, Jiang Feng had no choice but to allow Xu Jinglei to teach at the Beijing Film Academy. After all, she was a free person and could do whatever she wanted as long as she had the ability, and no one could interfere.

All I can do is to be a good student in a down-to-earth manner.

Things were very simple after the wrap party of "Love is Not Blind". Early the next morning, director Zhang Yibai distributed the film remuneration and bonuses on behalf of the crew.

In fact, according to the agreement in the contract, there was only salary but no bonus. However, since the filming went very smoothly, there was more than 200,000 yuan left in the budget, so everyone from the director to the stage workers in the crew could get a fairly considerable bonus.

Taking the leading actors Jiang Feng and Xu Jinglei as examples, each of them received a bonus of 2,000 yuan.

2000 yuan was a very small amount of money for a future star. It was not enough to have a meal, let alone have fun. But now was 1998, and even Cui Xinqin, the head teacher of the 96 undergraduate class of the Department of Acting, only had a monthly salary of 1600 yuan.

With the money, they bought some gifts for Yan Danchen at a boutique on the street in Shanghai. At night, Jiang Feng, Zhang Yibai, Xu Jinglei, Zhang Chu, Tian Zhen, Xie Yuxin and their group boarded the train back to Beijing.

Silent all night.

On August 8, at 26 o'clock in the morning, Jiang Feng got off the bus with a suitcase in his hand and returned to his school, Beijing Film Academy.

Standing at the school gate, Jiang Feng was about to say "I, Hu Hansan, am back" in a very proud manner when he saw a woman with skin even darker than Xu Jinglei rushing in from the school.

The woman came in front of Jiang Feng, paused for a moment, didn't say anything, just smiled, and then pounced on him.

"Jiang Feng, did you miss me?"

“I thought about it!
But why did you become so dark?" Jiang Feng was puzzled.

"What, do you dislike me?" "Not really, I'm just curious." Jiang Feng smiled and held Yan Danchen's butt with his hands to prevent her from slipping off him.

"Jiang Feng, you know that my skin was still quite fair when I left school.

But after arriving in Gansu Province, the director frowned as soon as he saw me. He said that the sister in "Carrying Dad to School" was an ordinary citizen who had to work in the fields frequently.

People who often work in the fields, whether young or old, have tanned skin on their faces.

So, when I arrived at the filming location, my first task was to sunbathe, wearing only a vest, with my face, neck, and arms all sunbathed like the locals..."

Perhaps it was because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, but at this moment Yan Danchen spoke without a focus, and didn't care whether Jiang Feng, who was holding her, was tired or not, and just kept nagging.

Of course, Jiang Feng did not interrupt her. It is understandable that a woman would want to express her feelings thoroughly when she sees the man she likes return.

Besides, the place where I was standing was not at the main entrance of Beijing Film Academy, so it would not affect everyone's entry and exit.

Just like that, one person indulged himself while the other was happy. The two chatted for half an hour. Yan Danchen, who felt that someone was pointing fingers at him, got off Jiang Feng embarrassedly.

The suitcase was right at his feet. Jiang Feng wanted to send the luggage back to the dormitory, and then accompany his girlfriend Yan Danchen to go shopping and have a meal. By the way, he would check her body. He just wanted to compare with his own hands to see whether her rabbit was bigger or Xu Jinglei's was more spectacular.

However, before Jiang Feng could finish his words, he saw Yan Danchen shyly saying, "Jiang Feng..."

"Ok?"

"After sitting on the train all night, you smell a lot. How about you take a shower first?"

"Of course. I'll put my luggage in the dormitory. Please wait for me for a while. I'll take a basin to the bathroom and take a cold shower. It will be very quick."

"Take a cold shower?

What should you do if you catch a cold? " At this time, Yan Danchen lowered his head even lower.

"Well, Jiang Feng, let me think about this. Why don't you go back to the dormitory now? Let's go to a nearby hotel and get a room. You can even take a hot bath..."

Hearing this, Jiang Feng was overjoyed.

If Jiang Feng still didn't understand what this beautiful woman meant at this moment, he would really be a fool.

"Come on, let's go see which hotel nearby has a hot shower and book a room there."

Weather in late August

It’s really hot in Beijing.

Even though there was air conditioning in Gaofeng Hotel, and it was turned on very high, Jiang Feng still felt hot all over while standing in the bathroom taking a shower.

Of course, Jiang Feng also knew that his current situation should actually be considered exciting. He had struggled for 37 years in his previous life and had never tasted meat. Now he could finally enjoy a feast.

After taking a shower, drying his body and wrapping himself in a bath towel, Jiang Feng came out of the bathroom.

At this time, Yan Danchen was seen spreading a white towel on the bed sheet.
