Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 511 Are you feeling inferior?

On the wall of Building B of the Film Academy is written the Film Academy's philosophy of art education: "Learn from the people, serve the people, and be artists of the people."

This was proposed by the first president of the film academy.

Liu Yifei stood to the side, asking Li Qiutang to take pictures of them.

Yes, quite a few people came from the Class of 02, including seven or eight girls from the Class of 02 Acting program.

"Yifei, is this your wedding ring?" Wang Jia asked, holding Liu Yifei's hand.

"No, I wouldn't wear a wedding ring today." Today is the 65th anniversary celebration of the Film Academy. "It's just an ordinary ring."

"Are you guys still going to take pictures or not?" Li Qiutang held her phone for a long time, unable to press the button. The group of girls had been chatting the whole time. "My photos are very expensive, so you have to cherish them."

Wang Jia retorted without hesitation: "You've already lured our Yifei away, and you're not even happy about taking a picture with me?"

Li Qiutang couldn't afford to offend them, so she just urged them to quickly get into position.

"Your photos are expensive? How expensive?" Dean Zhang Huijun and a group of school leaders came over and teased Li Qiutang as he bragged.

Li Qiutang said, "I can take pictures of our school for free."

Zhang Huijun laughed and said, "You should have said so earlier! If you had said so earlier, I would have let you film the anniversary short film and even let you direct the gala stage."

Li Qiutang said, "You can't just take advantage of me like that."

The leaders smiled, chatted for a few minutes, and then went to see the other students.

Li Qiutang raised her phone and took a group photo of the girls from the 02 Acting Department. She then kindly lectured them, "Don't forget these three sentences behind your back."

"You're lecturing me now!" his wife snapped first. "You haven't even done it yourself."

Li Qiutang glared at her but didn't say anything.

“Stop flirting here, you two,” Xu Qian, who stayed on to teach at the school, pulled Liu Yifei away. “Yifei is with us now. You go find your directing class.”

“There’s no one in our directing class, so I’m the only one here.” There are only 6 students in the 02 undergraduate directing class, and only Li Qiutang came today. He really doesn’t have any friends.

“Nobody wants you to team up with us.” Huang Bo suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and he was still showing off. “Our dubbing class is a bit better than your directing class, at least three of us showed up.”

Today, the voice acting class also had Bianjiang and Baixue.

Huang Bo's class of vocational dubbing students has produced many talented individuals who have now become pillars of the industry.

Wang Jia said from the side, "Isn't your dubbing class part of our acting department? How come you're mixed up with the directing class?"

Li Qiutang quickly pushed Wang Jia away: "Go on, your wife is yours today, hurry up and go."

The girls from the performance class smiled and pulled Liu Yifei away.

Li Qiutang and Huang Bo chatted as they walked. It was so easy to run into acquaintances today. Before long, they were each pulled away by someone.

Li Qiutang is talking to Zhang Yimou right now.

After talking to Zhang Yimou, Huang Xiaoming pulled him to Class 96.

Li Qiutang was busy until just before the red carpet ceremony began in the evening before she returned to the Class of 02. There were too few people from other majors in the Class of 02, so they walked together, with Li Qiutang, Liu Yifei and Huang Bo leading the way.

When it was the turn of the Class of 02, they had to wait for half a day, and everyone started chatting away again.

Today was a lively day, and everyone was very happy. It's rare to see each other like this, so it was a great opportunity, and everyone had so much to talk about.

However, class reunions are hard to avoid having a distinct atmosphere, with many people talking about their careers. When the Class of 02 discusses work, they inevitably talk about Li Qiutang, Liu Yifei, and Huang Bo, the three people who have had the best career development.

There was an undercurrent of being surrounded by admirers, or to put it more realistically, there was a growing tendency to boast and flatter.

Although the three of them have achieved remarkable results, it still feels somewhat unsettling to hear it.

It's one thing to do it with strangers, but today, when I'm back at school with old classmates and friends I haven't seen in a long time, doing the same thing makes me feel a bit uncomfortable.

It's true, once you succeed, you'll be surrounded by good people. Some classmates from the class of 02 also started art exam training programs and film platforms, and they're doing quite well.

Li Qiutang was quite interested in these things and benefited greatly from exchanging ideas with her classmates.

As they were talking, they were urged to leave quickly: "Class of 02, let's go, Director Li, you go to the front and lead the way with Yifei and Huang Bo."

Then the voice of the red carpet announcer came over the loudspeaker: "Let's continue to welcome the students of the Class of 2002."

"Please welcome Liu Yifei, Li Jian, Xu Qian... Huang Bo, and Li Qiutang from the Performing Arts Academy!"

As the students from the Class of 02 came out, Liu Yifei deliberately linked arms with Li Qiutang.

"Ah—" The younger students on both sides of the red carpet screamed excitedly.

Red carpet commentator Yao Miao said, "I really find it hard to believe that Huang Bo, Liu Yifei, and Li Qiutang are actually from the same class."

Another commentator added, "Yes, Huang Bo, Liu Yifei, and Li Qiutang have inspired so many people to dedicate themselves to the film industry. Those who lacked confidence before are now confident."

After taking a group photo in the photo area, the stage host asked the three of them to stay behind.

The two men stood on either side, with Liu Yifei in the middle.

"The first question is something Yao Miao was very surprised about earlier. She said that the three of you are actually classmates. You need to give a straight answer."

Huang Bo, true to form, responded humorously: "I have to say, Yi Fei is definitely not that old."

It made Liu Yifei laugh.

Huang Bo continued, "Now I usually don't answer when you ask me my age. I just say that I was in the same year as Liu Yifei."

Li Qiutang's answer was much more serious: "It's not our fault, it's hers. She was too young when she entered the university, which made us look old."

It has a touch of frivolity beneath its seriousness.

Next, she responded to the online topic #WhyIWouldCryMyEvenIfIWouldCryToGoToBeBeijingFilmAcademy#, saying that it is the cradle of film dreams, and then thanked all the teachers, as well as Stanislavski.

She really likes Stanislavski.

Standing to the side, Li Qiutang was already used to it. As her husband, he often couldn't keep up with Liu Yifei's train of thought and couldn't predict what she was going to say next.

Let's just say Stanislavski; it's fitting to mention Stanislavski at the school anniversary celebration.

Li Qiutang and Huang Bo answered questions separately, and after taking a group photo on stage, they were allowed to leave by the host.

Finally, there was one more thing, which was probably the host's personal comment. Before Li Qiutang and Liu Yifei left the stage hand in hand, he said, "I wish you both a happy marriage."

The two smiled back and stepped off the stage.

Li Qiutang and Liu Yifei were interviewed offstage.

The reporter asked Li Qiutang, "Was Yifei considered the school beauty back then?"

Liu Yifei shook her head when she heard the question.

Li Qiutang said, "Of course, she is the most beautiful in my eyes, she is my school beauty."

Liu Yifei blushed instantly in front of the camera and leaned on Li Qiutang's shoulder, too embarrassed to face the reporters.

But the reporter still asked her, "Why did Yifei shake her head just now?"

Liu Yifei said, "When I entered the school, there were pretty girls everywhere, and I was quite self-conscious at times."

Li Qiutang turned to look at Liu Yifei and said, "You feel inferior?"

The reporter felt that the two couldn't be allowed to flirt in front of the camera any longer, or this would never end, so he quickly ended the interview.
