Chinese Entertainment: Academic Director

Chapter 259 Shame on You
Old Situ was in a good mood today, so he called Xie Xiaojing and Tian Zhuangzhuang to his home in the evening, and the three of them had a home-cooked meal together.

He was obviously in high spirits tonight and made an exception to take out a bottle of special wine and have a few drinks with the two of them.

After dinner, while Old Situ went to the toilet, Old Tian put the remaining half bottle of liquor into his bag.

Xie Xiaojing sneered and said, "What a success."

Old Tian had been holding back a rage in his heart. After all, this was at the teacher's house, and he had not intended to lose his temper. But Xie Xiaojing spoke, and he could no longer suppress his anger.

Staring at Xie Xiaojing, Old Tian said gloomily, "I'm definitely not as promising as you, Old Xie. I did nothing as the director of the directing department, but I took advantage of Cao Yang's favor and ascended to the position of vice president and director of Qingying Studio."

Old Xie glanced in the direction of the bathroom and lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Tian, ​​what do you mean? From the moment I saw you today, your nose is not a nose and your eyes are not eyes. Did I offend you?"

"Oh, I'm so scared. I'm just a nobody. I can't avoid you, the head of the hospital, but I don't dare to make an enemy of you."

Tian Zhuangzhuang snorted and said with a sneer.

Xie Xiaojing moved to sit next to Lao Tian, ​​stared at him, and whispered, "Tian Zhuangzhuang, tell me clearly, how did I offend you?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang leaned over the sofa, put his legs on the coffee table, crossed his arms over his chest, looked nonchalant, and glanced at Xie Xiaojing.

"Some people are born cowards. I used to despise Hou Keming, but now I think that Hou is actually quite manly and righteous, unlike some people, haha..."

Xie Xiaojing is such a smart person. She had just guessed that it was because of Cao Yang, and now she is even more certain.

He sneered and was not going to talk to the impulsive and rude Old Tian anymore, but at this moment he faintly heard the sound of flushing coming from the bathroom. He silently counted to ten in his heart.

"Old Tian, ​​do you have such a big opinion about me?"

After Xie Xiaojing counted to ten, she started talking to distract Lao Tian.

"Oh, you are the dean of the school and also the director of Qingying Studio. How dare I..."

"Put your legs down and sit still. This is the teacher's home. You are in a different position now. As the department head and a teacher, you must always pay attention to your words and actions. You can't be as casual as before. You must change your bad habits."

Xie Xiaojing suddenly spoke, interrupting Lao Tian's words.

"Ha, you're really nosy. Not only here, even in the office, I can sit however I want, and you... oops!"

As Lao Tian was speaking, he was suddenly slapped on the head.

"Sit down, I told you to sit down, I told you to be a bad person, and you still want to be a teacher like this, why do you always make me angry when I'm happy?"

Xie Xiaojing looked at Old Tian, ​​who was slapped three or four times on the back of his head by Old Situ, and felt much calmer. She quietly moved away from him, and did not forget to advise him:
"Teacher, don't bother with him. He used to be so casual. It will take time for him to change."

When Old Situ heard this, his anger, which had just subsided, rose again, and he slapped Old Tian on the head twice.

"Tell me yourself, how many years have you been here since you were transferred from the Beijing Film Studio? This is a school, remember, if you continue to be so careless, I will beat you up."

Old Tian was so angry. The damn Old Xie was still so despicable. He was a villain, a shameless villain!
He glared at Lao Xie fiercely and said, "You bastard, you have no moral principles, so don't blame me for suing you."

"Teacher, have you heard about Jiang Shixiong's student?"

Old Situ frowned, then sighed after a while and said, "Brother Kai called me today. He told me about Hou Keming calling him. He explained the whole thing to me and asked me what I thought."

After a pause, he picked up the teacup and drank it all in big gulps. His mouth moved and he spat out the tea leaves with a "Puh" sound.

If the tea leaves were still in the teacup, they might still be used to make tea, but once you drink them, they would become useless waste.

"As you all know, in 95, the Directing Department recruited six graduate students, two from Taiwan, one from Malaysia, and three from the mainland. Jiang Shixiong and I were the supervisors."

Old Situ seemed to be lost in his memories, and after a long while he continued:
"These people are nominally taught by Jiang Shixiong and I separately, but it's almost like a joint training program. To some extent, they can be considered my students, so Brother Kai called me to ask."

It seems like Lao Tian and Xie Xiaojing are the same. Lao Tian was working at the Beijing Film Studio at the time and had just been banned from directing for a few years. He was in a period of decadence and might not be very aware of this matter, but Xie Xiaojing must have known about it.

"Jiang Shixiong also came to see me today and mentioned this matter. I said, we are all retired people, so we should just enjoy our retired life. If we are bored, we can go to Beijing Film Academy to teach students. The rest can be left to the young people to handle themselves."

Old Tian smiled, raised his eyebrows at Xie Xiaojing, and said in a pretentious manner:
"Hou Keming, this little... Ahem, Dean Hou is still too impulsive. How can a dean do this personally? Isn't this like using a cannon to kill a mosquito? It's a bit unworthy. He could have handled it in many better ways."

Old Situ smiled and nodded:
"For someone in his position, this matter was indeed handled a bit crudely. How can one do things this way? If the higher-ups knew about this, they would definitely be critical of him. Look at President Han, he does things flawlessly."

Then he changed the subject, "However, this also shows that he is a genuine person, and he is a bit straightforward in his actions, which is not good."

Then he looked at Xie Xiaojing, glared at Lao Tian, ​​and said, "As a vice president and a department head, you must do your job well, cooperate with the leadership, and build Beijing Film Academy better."

"Especially you."

Old Situ said to Old Tian, ​​"Hou Keming is the school leader. Don't call him by his name all the time. You have to learn to respect your leaders. Do you understand?"

"Don't you also call him by his name?" Old Tian muttered softly.

"Ok?"

"You are right, I agree very much." Lao Tian said quickly.

"Teacher, this is a matter decided at a meeting of the Qingying Studio. In view of the increasing number of directors, screenwriters and other film and television staff who have adopted the 'take-it-as-it-is' approach in recent years, it has seriously damaged the interests and creative enthusiasm of the originals, and is a cancer to the film and television industry.

As a school-run enterprise, Qingying Studio should set a good example for students and resolutely not allow this kind of unhealthy trend to affect the pure campus and the immature students. Therefore, Qingying Studio will resolutely not cooperate with film and television personnel with stains in the future. Once discovered, the project will be terminated immediately, and the individual will be held accountable and compensate Qingying Studio for all losses... All of this will be written into the contract. "

Xie Xiaojing took out a copy of the document and handed it to Old Situ.

This kind of document is to be distributed to every department of Qingying Studio, and will also be copied to every department of Beijing Film Academy. It is not a confidential document, and it does not violate the principle to show it to Lao Situ.

Old Situ took it and glanced at it casually, then said with a smile, "Yes, this kind of thing should be stopped. Qingying Studio is a place for students to do internships, and this kind of unhealthy trend should be eradicated. You did the right thing."

Lao Tian was furious.

Of course, he understood the purpose of Xie Xiaojing's document. It was similar to what President Han had said. It looked like a normal document and no one could find fault with it, but it was extremely targeted.

You are so good, Old Xie. Why didn't you say anything when I was playing tricks on you? You made me angry for nothing, and it seems that I am as impulsive and reckless as my teacher.

Am I that kind of person?

Bah, old silver!
On the closing day of the Venice Film Festival, September 9, Xiao Gangpao's annual costume blockbuster "The Banquet" kicked off shooting in Arxan City, Inner Mongolia.

However, this is just a filming location and the shooting was completed in about ten days. There are no actors' scenes here, so it cannot be considered an official start.

Therefore, his wife also came along, saying that she wanted to see the beautiful scenery outside the Great Wall.

Little Gangpao was wondering, did he hear some rumors? He hadn't had any romantic affairs spread recently.

Okay, I don't feel guilty this time, just come if you want.

The scenery of Arshan is still very beautiful, otherwise it would not have been chosen as the filming location.

After a busy day, Xu Fan returned to the hotel at night. He looked at the little cannon and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"what's wrong?"

The little cannon simply washed up and asked with some confusion.

Xu Fan hesitated for a moment. He couldn't keep this secret anyway, so he said, "Director Cao Yang's Black Swan won the Golden Lion again."

The little cannon's hand paused for a moment, then he lit a cigarette, slumped down on the sofa, took a long puff, let the cigarette circulate from his mouth into his lungs, and then exhaled with his eyes squinted.

In the smoke, he seemed to see the golden lion waving at him.

"Hold!"

The little steel cannon shook his head. It was really unexpected!
Xu Fan continued, "He has produced another Venice Film Festival winner. The little girl named Dong Xuan won the Venice Best Actress Award."

The Venice Film Festival winner! That’s the Venice Film Festival winner!
Xu Fan's words were full of envy.

In this day and age, which actress doesn’t want to win one of Europe’s three major Best Actress awards?

"Cough, cough..."

The smoke that the little cannon had just inhaled into his lungs failed to circulate out, and he suddenly got a stitch in the side, choking him and causing him to cough continuously with tears streaming down his face.

It took me a while to recover.

Although he had given up the idea of ​​winning the three major European awards, seeing familiar people winning awards again, two such important awards at that, how could he not be envious and jealous.

How can I remain indifferent!
Damn it, I believed the analysis in that article in "Cao Yang Bar" a while ago, and was planning to call that guy Cao Yang tonight or tomorrow to comfort him (gloat over his misfortune).

In particular, today photographer Zhang Li received a call from Hou Keming, and told Xiao Gangpao a bloody drama from the Beijing Film Academy - a certain director was ungrateful and stabbed Cao Yang in the back.

Little Cannon felt a little sorry for Cao Yang at that time.

Zhang Li also told Xiao Gangpao how could Beijing Film Academy produce such a bastard, and that he would never cooperate with such a person in his life.

Xiao Gangpao felt that Zhang Li was right and agreed with him on the spot.

Cao Yang, Cao Yang, you have such a bad taste. How could you recommend such a person to be a film critic in the official program of the Venice Film Festival?

Zhang Li, a graduate of the Photography Department in 78, was a classmate of Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei. As the most famous class, they still have deep feelings for Beijing Film Academy.

Especially after Cao Yang emerged from the school and Gu Changwei was promoted to a world-class photographer, everyone's feelings towards Beijing Film Academy became even more special.

Now, Xiao Gangpao suddenly felt that he wasted his feelings. He still sympathized with Cao Yang? Bullshit! That guy was the Golden Lion and the Best Actress. He was the most pitiful one.

Yes, it’s all that article’s fault. Damn it. He’s a new director and a special guest film critic in the official program. Bullshit!

What a worthless bastard!
This kind of person should have been kicked out of the director's team long ago.

I, the little cannon, am ashamed to be associated with you!

It's definitely not because of anger.
