Huayu 1995

Chapter 145 Awkward but Polite (Bonus Chapter for 4800 Monthly Tickets)

"I'm also looking for Su Chao. Is Liu Dehua inside?"

Zhang Heping asked.

"Andy Lau?"

Teacher Chang Li's expression at that moment was quite remarkable.

Why is Andy Lau still on the list?

Is this Andy Lau the same Andy Lau she knows?

Although in the eyes of this professional acting teacher, Andy Lau's acting skills were just average, the young man's singing was really good.

Teacher Chang Li often heard him singing when she listened to the radio.

I must say, it's quite addictive.

"Andy Lau is inside, and so is Teacher Li Baotian..."

Guo Xiaodong offered an explanation.

"Old Li? What's he doing here?"

Zhang Heping felt a headache whenever he heard Li Baotian's name.

He was the same age as Li Baotian, only a few months older, yet he couldn't do anything about this person.

They are so difficult to communicate with.

It's not that we have trouble communicating during filming; filming is director Zhang Zien's job.

Li Baotian is very dedicated to his acting.

The main issue is the sequel; Li Baotian and Zhang Guoli's falling out has become quite ugly.

Zhang Guoli felt that since this IP had value for further exploration, it would be better to develop a sequel or spin-off.

As long as we make a good show and make the audience feel comfortable watching it, there's nothing shameful about making this money.

However, Li Baotian vehemently criticized Zhang Guoli for being greedy and lacking even the most basic artistic ethics of an actor.

That's going too far.

The saying goes, "A gentleman seeks harmony but not uniformity." Even if you disagree with him, there's no need to escalate it to a personal attack.

Zhang Guoli was no pushover either, and he fought back fiercely, spreading rumors that Li Baotian was difficult to work with.

I won't work with him again next time.

As a result, many people now know that Li Baotian is difficult to work with.

That's a bit sinister.

The TV series hasn't even aired yet, and these two are already at each other's throats.

They're all bastards.

Zhang Heping was also at a loss.

Regardless of whose project it is, he won't get involved next time.

Don't suffer the old man!

Unexpectedly, this stubborn old man would come to Su Chao's training class.

The classroom door was open, and Li Baotian's voice could be heard clearly in the courtyard—his booming voice suggested he was getting carried away with his lecture.

When will he finish speaking?

Zhang Heping was speechless. Why were there so many people today? There were even more people than when he usually held meetings.

"We've been talking for almost an hour, it should be over soon."

Guo Xiaodong answered with his head lowered and eyes downcast.

It's good to follow the principal; a few months ago, he couldn't see any of these people.

Even if they saw him, they wouldn't give him a second glance.

Now, even though they're in the same small courtyard, he can communicate casually without his voice trembling.

"Then just wait."

Zhang Heping also sat down at the stone table.

Guo Xiaodong went and bought a few bottles of water and brought them over to the stone table.

Neither Chang Li nor Zhang Heping spoke.

They could hear Li Baotian giving a lecture with great energy.

"Art should inspire people to be positive, virtuous, and beautiful. Without moral integrity and a wicked heart, how can one be considered a human being or an artist? Moral character and conduct determine the path a person takes and how far they can go..."

The trainees sat upright.

A huge round of applause erupted in the classroom only after Li Baotian finished speaking.

Children at this age are still very innocent.

Zhang Heping didn't wait for Su Chao to greet him and went into the classroom with Chang Li.

When Su Chao saw him, he came over and shook hands with him.

Seeing Chang Li beside him, he "thought" she was someone who came with Zhang Heping, and shook her hand respectfully.

"Classmates, this is Mr. Zhang Heping. He's a top-notch planner in the film and television industry. Study hard, and maybe one day he'll spot you and you'll become an actor in one of his projects..."

Su Chao introduced himself to everyone with a calm expression.

Zhang Heping's gaze... was already fixed on that wall.

Ok!

No wonder many people in the orange grove looked at him strangely; he had figured out the reason.

Chang Li was observing these art students.

As a teacher, she is more interested in her students.

You can't see the students' potential in a short time; you can only judge them by their appearance and demeanor.

The Central Academy of Drama also values ​​appearance.

Every art school has extremely high requirements regarding appearance. This is stated in the admission brochure.

However, there are just too many students with outstanding looks and temperament in this small, run-down training class.

Most of them were particularly outstanding.

Even a proper acting class at the Central Academy of Drama might not be as good as this training program.

In a daze, she felt as if she had returned to the classroom of the Central Academy of Drama.

"This is teacher Li Baotian, this is teacher Wang Jinsong, this is actor Andy Lau... and who is this?"

Su Chao also made sure to introduce today's "lecturers".

He pretended not to know Chang Li, who came with Zhang Heping.

"This is Ms. Chang Li, a teacher at the Central Academy of Drama!"

Zhang Heping watched with schadenfreude as Su Chao's face instantly fell.

So you didn't know me.

If someone comes to your training class, they're most likely there to cause trouble.

In theory, schools do not encourage students to attend training courses.

They select talent, choosing those with potential, those who are like blank canvases, the only ones qualified to paint at this stage.

If you scribble something like that, it's no wonder people will cause you trouble.

"Ah! Teacher Chang, I've heard so much about you! Welcome, welcome! Everyone, please welcome Teacher Chang..."

Su Chao appeared surprised and embarrassed, but remained polite throughout.

The students at Dream House were buzzing in their heads.

Teacher Chang from the Central Academy of Drama...

That's absolutely legendary!

The main teaching material for the training course was "Dream Home Easy Exam Treasure Trove" written by Su Chao, but students would still look for some professional books to assist in their research.

Among them are textbooks written by Chang Li.

"Hello students, you've all worked hard. Welcome to apply to the Central Academy of Drama."

Chang Li did not take her anger out on the students here.

The students are innocent.

It's a pity that I encountered such an unreliable training class and such an unreliable principal.

"Both Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama are good schools. It's best to choose the one that suits you best."

Wang Jinsong suddenly said something.

That's right, he graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, and in the near future, he will become a teacher at the Beijing Film Academy.

We must uphold the honor of the Beijing Film Academy now.

"Yes, the most suitable is best. You should also pay close attention to the enrollment plans of various universities. Don't all apply to the same school at once, as this will intensify the competition."

Chang Li didn't argue with him.

"Thank you, Ms. Chang Li. Actually, our students lack knowledge about art exams. Shall we ask Ms. Chang Li to give us a detailed explanation?"

Su Chao immediately seized the opportunity to climb up the ladder.

I'm shameless, so what are you going to do about it?

"I'll talk to you later. I have something to discuss with you guys... Brother Chao..."

Chang Li has been teaching for thirty years, and she has seen far too many students with a "rubber face" (meaning they are easily offended or discouraged).

Su Chao is about the same age as his students.

They wouldn't be easily manipulated by a kid like Su Chao; they effortlessly steered the conversation back on track.

Su Chao didn't expect to let the matter drop.

Otherwise, Teacher Chang would have made a wasted trip.

He first arranged for Li Jie to lead everyone in practicing their physical forms, since they had been in class for half a day and needed to stretch their legs.

Then he took Zhang Heping, Chang Li, Li Baotian, Liu Dehua, and Wang Jinsong to the classroom next door.

This place is often used as a teachers' lounge.

I tidied it up yesterday, and it's perfect for entertaining guests today.

Li Baotian originally wanted to go home, feeling that this place had nothing to do with him, but Su Chao persuaded him to stay.

"Uncle Li, we're all in the same industry, it's a rare opportunity for us to exchange ideas..."

The key is in the sentence "Uncle Li".

More importantly, Li Baotian agreed and actually sat down to drink tea.

"Teacher Chang, I want to apologize to you today..."

Before Chang Li could make a move, Su Chao admitted his mistake first.

"Hehe, it's nothing really. You just helped a few dozen students from our Central Academy of Drama complete their summer homework."

Teachers seem to be quite good at being sarcastic.

"Pfft~"

Zhang Heping was considering whether to ask Su Chao to take his photo down. He was a government employee, and it wasn't good for it to be displayed like this.

I never expected to hear something even more outrageous.

Compared to that, hanging him on the wall is nothing.

Why do you have to do so much homework?

Li Baotian also couldn't quite understand it. If he hadn't had such a good impression of Su Chao, he would have doubted Su Chao's character and morality.

Now, he's certain that Su Chao has some unspeakable secret.
