Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 17 Rainy Day

Film Academy, Performance Department Class Director’s Office.

Shen Juan was wearing a loose white shirt and high-waisted jeans, which were rarely seen on him in normal days. Such a refreshing and sunny outfit, coupled with his impeccable handsome face, made him look very much like the white moonlight school hunk that appears in every teenage story of a young girl, or the busman that you had only glanced at on the bus and hadn't forgotten for a long time.

This was the outfit he had chosen for his return to school today, after hesitating in front of his closet for five minutes.

It's also time to choose suitable private clothes.

The clothes and accessories he wore on the show before were too dazzling and not suitable for going out to class.

In his opinion, students' main job is to study, so they should not be too high-profile.

But in a sense, it was precisely this sense of sincerity and purity without any other mottled colors that attracted Mao Deshu and made him take the initiative to invite Shen Juan, a new idol with little acting experience, to play the male lead.

Two teachers were sitting opposite Shen Juan.

They are his class teachers, who have a pretty good relationship with him and occasionally call him on WeChat to ask about his recent situation.

And the dean in later generations who stood close to Chen Feiyu at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Film Academy and said that all the students present were as old as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige's grandchildren.

"Shen Juan, we also know why you missed so many classes this semester, so there's no need to explain. What really matters is whether your schoolwork has been delayed. If your grades don't drop too much, our school is willing to make a break for you."

As the dean spoke, he looked at Shen Juan's face and his expression with interest.

This has nothing to do with orientation. Everyone has the preference and habit of appreciating beautiful things, and he is no exception.

"After all, our Beijing Film Academy has produced many influential celebrity alumni over the years, and we have even recruited many students who have gained considerable fame through various channels before entering the school, so we are more experienced in handling situations like yours."

"I also know that it is not appropriate and reasonable to take such a long leave at one time and miss so many classes, but I really have no other choice." Shen Juan said frankly: "So is there any way to make me eligible to take the final exam instead of directly failing me and repeating the year?"

After all, this will be written into the student's file, which is always shameful, so try to avoid it if possible.

As for why we didn't let the agent who is more suitable to communicate with the school about work arrangements handle this matter.
On the one hand, it was because this was a decision Shen Juan made on the spur of the moment: the sudden invitation to the final performance from PD101 disrupted his plans for the rest of the period.

If he wanted to perform his own song on the much-anticipated finals stage to attract traffic and expand his voice, he could only use this time to speed up the production of the song.

And that means no time to attend classes.

On the other hand, he has seen the hard work of his agent sister during this period.

There's no need to trouble others for something as trivial as asking for leave from school, which he can handle on his own, right?
He is not a giant baby who asks people to buy oil-splashed noodles in the middle of the night or needs help to take off his socks.

The dean picked up the fragrant hot tea that had just been brewed on the coffee table and took a sip, thinking about it carefully.

"I think we have encountered situations like Shen Juan before. After all, our film school's acting department trains actors, and encourages students to take the initiative to participate in external film and television projects while in school and put what they have learned into practice."

The head teacher, who had a good relationship with Shen Juan, spoke up for him at the right time, and Shen Juan gave him a thankful look. No matter if he played the good cop or the bad cop, he should be thanked for solving the urgent problem and benefiting himself.

"Each crew has a different start time, and the shooting period varies. It is impossible to completely stagger the school's teaching time. Therefore, what is really important is to learn to be grateful. After achieving success, use your influence to repay society and thank the school."

The dean put down his teacup, pondered for a moment, looked at Shen Juan and asked, "Student Shen Juan, what do you think?"

"What the class teacher said is right. I have no problem."

Shen Juan didn't feel like he was "kidnapped".

To him, this was perfectly normal.

The school teaches and educates, provides students with a legitimate identity, initial connections and an environment that protects them when they enter the entertainment industry. After students become successful, they should naturally use their own fame and influence to give back to their alma mater.

In fact, every Beijing Film Academy graduate is like this. Whenever their alma mater holds an event such as the school anniversary film festival, they will almost always come and participate as long as they are free.

So Shen Juan had nothing to be dissatisfied with.

This in itself is a reasonable exchange of favors.

On a miserable morning with an early start, I watched TV series too late at night, and got hurt tragically because I got out of bed with my eyes squinted and yawned.

Then, after saying goodbye to my roommate who had to attend an early class, I had a heart-pounding encounter in front of the teaching building, taking with me a bag of delicious dumplings from the cafeteria and a cup of steaming soy milk.

Finally, he took an approved leave application and went to the school hospital to receive treatment from the doctor.

Zhou Ye looked out the window with some annoyance.

Zhou Ye, Zhou Ye, did you sprain your brain when you sprained your ankle? How come you even forgot to check the weather forecast every morning before going out?
Starting at about nine in the morning, the originally clear sky gradually became gloomy, and the clouds pressed darkly overhead, getting thicker and thicker, as if one could embrace the heavy water vapor with just a stretch of the hand.

As for now, two hours later?

Countless slender silver threads descended from the sky and woven densely and diagonally, hanging a misty pearl curtain between heaven and earth, connecting the gray sky and earth of this city into one.

Standing under the eaves and looking up at the dark sky, Zhou Ye frowned in distress.

If she was in class at this moment, she could have just used her roommate's umbrella to go back to the dormitory, but she sprained her ankle today and was now sitting in the infirmary to recover with the leave application issued by her class teacher. There was no one around her except the medical staff who were slacking off.

Even if she wanted to call someone to pick her up, she had no chance because her roommates were in class!
Alas. Just when she was feeling disheartened and resigned to her fate, preparing to return to the infirmary to watch some Tik Tok and wait for the rain to stop, a white figure suddenly appeared in the misty rain and waved to her, saving her.

After finishing the conversation, Shen Juan, who was passing by the infirmary and coming out of the teacher's office, appeared. He saw the girl's predicament and silently made room for one person under the umbrella.
