I'm not a drama freak, I can really see through the script

Chapter 290, The First Day's Results of the Young Students

This turning point has indeed pulled people back from the "ordinary" life of these "handsome men and beautiful women".
"The delivery of these lines is very interesting."

at this time.

Jiang Wen, watching from the side, was slightly curious and also felt that the expressiveness of this line was quite remarkable.

The meaning conveyed in those few lines.

As a teacher, this is my responsibility at Hunan Normal University.

That kind of spirit and energy contained within it.

At least, the youth films next door.

There is definitely no such line.

These passionate and inspiring lines seem to be telling all the viewers watching the show.

Now, in this era of constant warfare and national turmoil, with the Eight-Nation Alliance and warlords everywhere, this country is already in a state of instability and unrest.

This statement seems to suggest that the creators have not forgotten this era.

Although we are categorized as 'youth films', we still remember the era we live in.

It's not for the purpose of dating.

At this moment, Li Xuan was watching a drama in his dormitory.

I was still immersed in the drama, but when I came out of that immersion, I was like, "Holy crap, when did this crowd of people appear all around me?"

Originally, it was a group of four in the dormitory watching movies.

Now it's become a group of more people, and some of the younger students have joined in. There are at least ten people in the entire dormitory.

"When did so many people arrive?!"

"Boss, you're really engrossed in the show. People have been here for ages," Luo Jin said from the side. "You're way too absorbed in it."

"It reminds me of when I lived in the sports dorm in high school; this smell was so cool."

Zhu Yawen, who was standing next to her, was about to vomit.

So many people are crammed into this tiny dormitory.

"The internet is the best in the entire dormitory building. If we watch TV series in the dorm later, it will be so choppy that even our mothers won't recognize us."

The junior student stood innocently nearby and said...

The Internet Age of Small Pipes.

That's how it is.

Actually, it was because of one or two people that I became more and more curious.

Because dormitory 401, which is at the center of controversy, and the 2002 class of the Performing Arts Department, which is also at the center of controversy, have managed to maintain this level of calm amidst the current barrage of negative rumors. This is a testament to their resilience.

This junior, Zheng Kai, was slightly curious—he had previously been one of those on the campus network who didn't pay much attention to Li Xuan.

Perhaps it was the influence of public opinion, or perhaps it was jealousy of his rise to power.

I think Li Xuan is just playing with the future of the 2002 acting class. Those who go from acting to directing have all been immersed in their craft for many years; no one really rises to the top in one step.

But deep down, there must have been some jealousy involved, because Li Xuan had indeed walked a path that many people had taken years to complete.

In the past, when people talked about outstanding graduates of the Beijing Film Academy, they always mentioned Zhao Yanzi, Chen Kun, and half of Huang Xiaoming. These were all recognized as outstanding graduates back then, and they were always mentioned when discussing excellence.

Today, one more person has been added to this list of outstanding predecessors.

This person is Li Xuan.

Even outstanding graduates who graduated after the millennium.

There are many controversies surrounding him. For example, he is unwilling to sign contracts with capital, and people say he is arrogant, has too big an appetite, and attempts to bully investors and the weak with his own strength. This is the narrative of many companies and the public opinion, and many people even believe it.

However, Zheng Kai doesn't quite believe this either. It seems rather strange that an individual would bully a vulnerable group of capitalists.

Of course, there is one thing he still thinks about.

I think this person has some talent, but no background. To get to where they are now, I'd say they deserve some respect.

If it weren't for his project that involved the entire class, it would still be quite enviable, yet also filled with a small sense of longing.

After all, he is truly talented. From any perspective, as a member of the Beijing Film Academy's acting department, he is definitely an outstanding member.

It's true, she can be considered an outstanding graduate of the Beijing Film Academy.
Absolutely.

Seeing that Luo Jin, Zhu Yawen, and other classmates who were "persecuted" were able to handle the broadcast with such confidence and composure was truly remarkable.

This aroused a slight sense of curiosity in him.

What was their mindset when they viewed this unprecedented graduation spectacle?

At least, Zheng Kai is a little curious now.

"Your name is Zheng Kai?"

"Well, what happened?"

"Um, I suggest you change your stage name." At this moment, Li Xuan looked at the 'Zheng Kai' in front of him with a strange expression. He was quite handsome and should be the kind of handsome guy who could play a villain. It was just a pity that he had the same name as 'Zheng Kai'.

It's the same name as Zheng Kai, the comedic actor I remember.

Given the same name, only one of them can 'survive'.

Zheng Kai was stunned; he hadn't expected his senior to give such advice.

"Okay, senior, I'll consider it."

"Ah."

Whether Zheng Kai changes his stage name or not is none of Li Xuan's concern; such matters fall under the category of individual fate.
But with so many students here, it's quite lively.

It started when they enrolled at Hunan Normal University.

Both characters are quite carefree, embodying youthful spirit, interactions with girls, and secret crushes. Gao Yuanyuan's portrayal of Yang Hui in the Republic-era schoolgirl attire is extremely fitting, while Jiang Yan, though slightly less striking in appearance, is still exceptionally outstanding as Xiang Jingyu.
At the same time, the neighboring film "Smiling Pasta" was also "Days Related to Youth," a youth film produced by the Beijing film circle as a trial.

Actually, youth films are a very interesting genre.

It is usually based on a relationship between men and women.

Do you love me? Don't I love you? I love you so much, I love you.

The emotional entanglements between men and women in this process.

This is the general impression people have of youth films.

Wen Zhang also felt the same way.

This time, it can be said that the work has come together with perfect timing, location, and people: Wang Shuo's original work, a highly rated award-winning work, and Tong Dawei, one of the four little actors, so it can be said that it has also benefited from the good reputation.

There was something just not quite right when I was filming, but what does it matter?

This is a work by Wang Shuo, a big shot's IP.

If I feel there's a problem with this work, then it must be my problem, not my brain's.

It can be said that there were three youth-themed works competing with each other at the same time.

Whether it's Smiling Pasta or days related to youth.

They all unfold according to the standard procedures of youth films.

Youthful campus stories, set in different eras, present a similar theme of youthful years.

To present the youthful years of this era.

Relationships between people, and relationships between different kinds of love.

But when watching this youth film about students in their prime.

There's a strange sense of unease about Wen Zhang, a feeling that hasn't disappeared since I started watching the show. Where does this unease come from?
From the very beginning, their character settings, their entry into the campus, their attraction to the school, and the unexpected twists and turns of Yang Changji's lines created a strange, indescribable feeling.
He wasn't unfamiliar with youth films; in order to film "Days Related to Youth," he did a lot of research on related topics.
“Speaking of which, after watching these episodes, I always feel like they’re really strange.” Bai Baihe paused beside her, then added, “I think it’s strange too.”

"You think it's strange too, right? I knew it, I'm definitely not the only one who thinks it's strange."

They were all from the same class of 2002 at the Central Academy of Drama.

Li Xuan and the 2002 class of Beijing Film Academy were "contemporary rivals" in every sense of the word. Their graduation play couldn't produce anything of note, but everyone still hoped that "Days Related to Youth" could give Beijing Film Academy a good slap in the face, creating a strange feeling of competing on the same stage.

Although it's a foray into youth-themed works by actors from the Beijing entertainment circle, the cast is quite impressive, featuring Tong Dawei, one of the four most popular young actors of our time, and the original work by Wang Shuo.

And as for human beings themselves.

Whether it's Bai Baihe, Wen Zhang, or their classmates in this class.

In a sense, those who have just passed through their youth are now considered the most standard audience profile for the work.

They're all young people in their prime, the last vestiges of the youth film audience!

As a member of the audience, I am naturally qualified to evaluate this work.

After all, they are all standard benchmark profiles!
Even Zhang Mo joined the movie-watching group this time.

"I think I know what's strange."

"What's the strange point?"

"They seem to have been studying ever since they enrolled."

Wen Zhang and Bai Baihe fell into an eerie silence.

A sort of.
It was even an eerie silence, because it was here that the incongruity of the work was discovered. In most youth films, after entering school, the place becomes a stage for love triangles, multiple love triangles, multiple love interests, fighting, basketball, and hairstyle battles.
But here... fucking.

These people from Hunan Normal University.

like.

Once I entered school, I was really studying!
Very strange.

Because there are no people going to school in youth films.

They actually studied in school, so it feels strange to see them in teen movies, but you can't argue with that since school is a place for learning.

"The ratings and public opinion from the first day are out."

It's time to face trial.

Wang Jinsong was a little nervous.

He followed the work all the way through and knew its quality level, but only the audience has the right to evaluate a work.
The viewership ratings have been pulled into the category of youth films.

From filming, playing, to editing, it went through so much.

They even took the TV series to Hunan TV, but were rejected – they wouldn't watch a single episode, saying they were out of time and gave it to "Smiling Pasta".

Wang Jinsong felt wronged at the time.
"The Young Students," full of youthful vigor and vitality, was completely overshadowed by a domineering CEO youth drama. The Taiwanese production offered a higher price for the first broadcast rights of a youth drama, but "The Young Students" refused to even watch a single episode.

They call it being busy.

It's actually a form of contempt and disdain.

Dongshan TV, on the other hand, bought the production without watching a single episode. It was also a way of returning the favor, because Li Xuan's "Living" really boosted the reputation of the Northwest film and television industry, which produced many veteran revolutionaries.

Of course, if the viewership ratings don't meet the target after the purchase, it will still be withdrawn, but that's another story.

At least for now, he still cares a lot.

It could even be described as worry.
worry
Whether or not it will be accepted.

Upon closer examination, Li Xuan's works actually have quite a few problems. For example, the target audience is not focused. Would students accept a campus where there is no dating?
Frankly, that statement is quite absurd.

But I'm here to watch a teen drama, so I'm not here to watch them go to school.

"Actually, the quality is much higher than I expected. Seriously, for a director who is directing for the first time, his work would be a dream come true for a directing student."

Xu Xiaodan said from the side.

Actually, she was still quite shocked.

Judging from the first three episodes...

She was actually quite shocked.

Because from beginning to end, Li Xuan's directing, storyboarding, and shooting techniques clearly show that this is not a work produced by a major director.

But if we say this is the first work he has ever directed...
Xu Xiaodan immediately thought—damn it, why didn't he go to the directing department back then!
Alas, why was he a peasant instead of someone with a powerful family background? If he had a powerful family background...

He can definitely make a name for himself in the directing department.

Moreover, with this level of screenwriting and dialogue, one could probably get into a liberal arts undergraduate university without even needing to take the arts entrance exam.

In any case, Li Xuan told her everything from beginning to end.

This is definitely a very outstanding young man.
Passed.

It's really up to standard.

As a serious work to be adapted into a TV series, it is absolutely acceptable—regardless of whether the audience accepts it or not.

All are qualified.

At this moment, Wang Fengsheng was actually a little surprised, after all, Li Xuan was even more outstanding than he had thought in terms of directing.

Is this guy really a case of someone who excelled in acting and then transitioned into directing, appearing in works that are both directorial and acting roles?

etc.
So this time, do I really have a chance to avoid being completely disgraced?
At this moment, Wang Fengsheng couldn't help but think.

This is an incredible thing.

This time, I'm risking my last bit of reputation and integrity to help the students. I've already prepared my fishing rod, and when the time comes, I'll stay away from all the hustle and bustle and let the students walk their own path.

I have fulfilled my utmost responsibility and completed the final battle.
Results now.

The quality of this work was broadcast.

This includes the student's acting skills, as well as the outside help brought in.

Their acting skills seem pretty good.

I didn't realize it at first.

Luo Jin and Zhu Yawen, who were also from the class of 02, don't seem to have any strange acting skills.

But thinking about it carefully, the person he was acting opposite was Li Xuan.

She held her own alongside Li Xuan in their acting.

These two students were a pleasant surprise!
Let's return to the work itself.

I managed to watch at least the first three episodes.

The teacher's evaluation is as follows.

This is my graduation project.
