Entertainment 1998

Chapter 6 6, Signing

Unlike classrooms in most schools, classrooms at the film school are empty.

There are no desks or podiums, but there are more than twenty chairs placed against the wall. The only difference is the north wall, where there is a table, a chair, and a movable whiteboard. There are oil-based pens under the whiteboard, which can be used for writing.

There is no doubt that this must be Teacher Cui’s exclusive seat.

Jiang Feng walked in and was looking at the situation in the classroom curiously when he felt someone pulling him.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and sit in your seat."

The person who spoke was Yan Danchen, and Jiang Feng saw her pointing towards the middle of the east wall.

"Oh, thank you."

Although he didn't know why the fairy Chang'e took such good care of him, Jiang Feng still expressed his gratitude to her.

We sat down facing the east wall. On the left is Guo Xiaodong, an honest boy from Langya, Shandong Province. About 10 years later, he would become a little famous in the domestic film and television industry with the TV series "New Marriage Era"; on the right is Zu Feng, who has an average appearance, but the TV series that made him well-known to TV audiences was the masterpiece of spy war drama "The Disguiser".

"Hey, Lao Jiang, congratulations!

I didn't expect that you would be chosen by Director Zhao to star in his TV series "Never Forget Me"!

"Haha..., don't listen to Huang Xiaoming's nonsense, it hasn't been finalized yet." Before the contract is actually signed, Jiang Feng thinks he should keep a low profile.

"Huang Xiaoming is not talking nonsense, it was just announced by our homeroom teacher, Teacher Cui, that Jiang Feng from our class has been confirmed to play Xiao Tong in "Never Forget Me".

Let us applaud and congratulate you!"

When the honest child Guo Xiaodong said this, his eyes were full of envy.

"Cough cough..."

At this moment, a cough was heard at the door of classroom 325. Upon hearing the cough, the twenty or so students who had been a little unfocused just now suddenly sat up straight.

"Jiang Feng..."

"exist."

"Come with me for a moment."

The person who appeared at the classroom door was the head teacher Cui Xinqin, but she didn't come in with something in her hand. Instead, she waved and called Jiang Feng to the corridor.

"Oh well."

Jiang Feng hurried out.

"Jiang Feng, the contract has been signed. Just as you three were on the bus, people from Xinbaoyuan Film and Television Company drove to the school.

Since you are a student of the Film Academy and don't have an agent, the school signed a "Loaned Personnel Labor Contract" with Xinbaoyuan Film and Television Company and collected a deposit of 3000 yuan in accordance with regulations.

The pay is 1000 yuan per episode, and the total number of episodes of the TV series "Never Forget" is tentatively set at 30. "

Teacher Cui Xinqin didn't waste any words. As soon as Jiang Feng walked into the corridor, she took out an agreement and handed it to him. At the same time, there was a stack of banknotes placed on the agreement.

"Well, thank you, Mr. Cui."

Jiang Feng took it, glanced at it twice, and handed the contract back. As for the money, he put it into his pocket.

rich.

Finally, I don't have to worry about tomorrow's food expenses. Well, how about buying some things tonight and going to Teacher Cui's house? After all, she must have helped a lot in finalizing the contract so quickly.

Just as he was thinking, Cui Xinqin handed over a thick stack of TV drama scripts and said:
"Jiang Feng, although there is no start date marked on the contract, I just spoke to Director Zhao Baogang on the phone, and he told me that the start date of Never Forget Me will be around February 1998, 2.

It’s less than a month and a half away.

So, during this time, you should take the time to familiarize yourself with the script and try to memorize all your lines and the lines of the actors who are acting opposite you."

"Okay." Jiang Feng agreed quickly.

"Jiang Feng, I will be at school during the Spring Festival. When you are familiar with the script, if you find that there is something you don't understand or are unsure about, you can always contact me or call me." "Okay, thank you, Teacher Cui."

After getting the script, he wanted to go back to the classroom because the class was about to start. But before Jiang Feng turned around, he heard Cui Xinqin say:

"Jiang Feng, can you also compose songs?"

"No!" Jiang Feng denied hastily.

Although Jiang Feng had read a lot of information, listened to a large amount of pop music, and watched a large number of film and television dramas when writing entertainment novels before, but when it comes to composing songs... he really doesn't know how!
Because composing a song not only requires writing lyrics, but also composing music, but Jiang Feng didn't even know the musical notation.

Well..., even if he had all the memories of Hua Yanjun, also known as Blind A Bing, he still couldn't read music scores.

"No, why did you write a song for Director Zhao Baogang?"

"It was in the taxi when I heard you explaining the plot of Never Forget Me, that I was inspired by the love between Ou Qingchun and Xiao Tong, and wrote a little bit about it."

"Hmm..." Staring at Jiang Feng, Cui Xinqin took a closer look and then smiled, "The lyrics are well written. Director Zhao Baogang was a little excited and read them to me over the phone.

But will you compose music for this lyric?"

"No, I just hummed it in my mind when I was writing the lyrics." Jiang Feng replied with a smile.

"Hum..."

Hearing these three words, Cui Xinqin smiled and reached out to pat Jiang Feng on the shoulder.

"Go back to class. If Director Zhao Baogang insists on you composing this song during the filming of the TV series, just hum it for him, hehe..."

…………

In the past, Jiang Feng didn’t know how the film academy taught students.

Now, I am in the classroom of the film academy and I have broadened my horizons.

Cui Xinqin, the teacher who taught the acting class, came to the classroom and casually assigned a topic, such as catching a thief, and asked the 7 students to be divided into groups. Then everyone thought of the plot, gathered lines, and then performed.

After the performance, Cui Xinqin will comment on everyone's performance and plot design. After corrections, students will be asked to think and experience it before performing a second time.

Jiang Feng liked this teaching method very much. Even if Teacher Cui Xinqin talked about it in class, Jiang Feng could focus on studying the script of the TV series "Never Close Your Eyes" during the next period of time...

This afternoon, Jiang Feng was still happily attending class with everyone.

It was 5: in the afternoon and it was already dark. Cui Xinqin, who had been in class for half an hour, looked at his watch before announcing the end of get out of class.

As soon as Cui Xinqin left, Jiang Feng prepared to leave with the script of "Never Close Your Eyes". There were 96 students in the undergraduate class of the 23 Acting Department of the Film Academy, and he was familiar with no more than 10 of them by name.

If after a while, a strange classmate comes over to chat with you, and you are confused about what they are talking about, it would be a bit embarrassing.

what's going on?

Jiang Feng, you just got a contract with a famous TV director, and you don't pretend to know old friends and classmates?!
But as soon as Jiang Feng walked out of the classroom door, a female classmate quickly followed him.

"Jiang Feng..."

"Ok?"

"Why are you walking so fast? I want to talk to you about something."

"Okay, you say."

Looking back, Jiang Feng saw that it was Yan Danchen, so he slowed down his pace.

"Well, Jiang Feng, do you have a girlfriend?"

"If not, I want to pursue you."
