Huayu 1995

Chapter 87 Can We Be a Little More Low-Key? (Bonus Chapter for 1500 Monthly Tickets)

"I don't understand. You see that Zhou Xun has already taken the shortcut to success, shouldn't you work even harder?"

"What right do you have to slack off!"

The principal concluded his speech with a single sentence, which made all the students behave themselves.

This is prestige!

"Principal, I've heard that many people can't find acting roles after graduation."

Qin Hailu had a bitter expression on his face.

She questions herself almost every day, but then she manages to pull herself out of her slump and quickly become lively again.

"If you can't find acting roles after graduation, you can come to Dream House and become a white-collar worker."

Su Chao made a sarcastic remark to her.

Now, everyone in the training class knows that Qin Hailu wants to be a white-collar worker.

She especially loves reading romance novels.

She was hoping to marry into a good family after graduation.

“That’s great! If I can’t find a job, I can come work at Dream House.”

Qin Hailu didn't feel like she was being mocked at all.

"You're really something!"

Su Chao was also helpless in the face of this Golden Horse Award-winning actress.

"If I marry our principal, I won't have to worry anymore. Our principal is so capable."

I don't know who said that.

The audience immediately burst into laughter.

We're all young people, so we don't really have that many rules.

Making jokes about the principal's chastity is a testament to how close everyone is to the principal.

"Too lazy, I don't like her!"

Su Chao looked disgusted.

If you ask Qin Hailu whether she has talent?

Of course there must be one!
As the saying goes, fools are often blessed; Qin Hailu's talent was outstanding even in the training class.

There aren't many who can be better than her.

However, despite being blessed with natural talent, she lacked both confidence and ambition.

She lacks confidence because she thinks she's ugly.

She lacks ambition because she feels that as long as she can support herself, that's enough; if someone else can support her, that would be even better.

"Hmph, whether the principal can handle it or not, who knows?"

Qin Hailu snorted.

"Attend class!"

Su Chao didn't want to discuss this topic.

He didn't intend to develop any special relationships with his students, at least not while they were taking classes with him.

I worked for four hours straight in the morning.

These are the classes Su Chao missed these past two days. He went to see Zhang Yu the day before yesterday and went to record a music video yesterday; He Bing and the others were teaching him.

During lunchtime, someone came to visit.

"Which one is the sketch comedy teacher?"

The person who came looked ashamed and timid, as if he was too embarrassed to be seen.

"That's me. How can I help you?"

Su Chao glanced at the other party and immediately uncovered their secrets.

What are you hiding?!
You are Tu Songyan!

When you're drinking together, the one who disappears instantly is you.

In the blink of an eye, the person was gone.

Looking down, I saw it was under the table.

In his past life, Su Chao ran a training course and once invited this guy to teach people.

At that time, Su Chao was in some trouble and his financial situation was not good. He had spent all his money on other things and couldn't even afford to teach this guy.

This guy said, "How about we have a drink to even things out?"

The group drank several cases of beer.

From then on, they often drank together, whether they had something to do or not.

Tu Songyan is not a very famous person.

But her acting skills are truly amazing.

Some become superstars, some become veteran actors, and he is a veteran actor from the 95 class of the Central Academy of Drama.

"I heard..." Tu Songyan leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "I heard you sell skit assignments here, is that true?"

"Heh...of course it's true, come with me."

What are you hiding? You know it's wrong of you to come out and buy homework!
"I want to buy two short skit assignments; here are the questions."

Tu Songyan took out two pieces of paper.

Su Chao took it and looked at it, and found that one of the cards only had three words on it:

Empty Refrigerator.

The other one also has three characters:

Photo Studio.

"No other requirements? Is your teacher out of their mind?"

When teachers assign reporting assignments to students, they should set specific requirements. The more specific the requirements, the more accurate the students' reports will be.

It seems this is a teacher who likes to play mysterious games.

"Who says otherwise? The 'Empty Refrigerator' assignment was my winter break homework. I put a lot of effort into designing a really good skit, but Teacher Chang criticized it for almost an entire class period. The worst part is that she didn't tell me how to design it. I thought the matter was over, but I didn't expect to get the assignment back before summer vacation."

Tu Songyan is not a lazy person.

He was really desperate, so he came to find outside help with only a few hundred yuan in his pocket.

"Teacher Chang... Chang Li? Brother, you've fallen into her hands?"

Su Chao certainly knew Teacher Chang; there weren't many Teacher Changs at the Central Academy of Drama.

"Yes, but she's not our homeroom teacher. She just teaches our classes. Luckily, she's not our homeroom teacher. I heard that when she was a homeroom teacher, she often taught extra classes and had to hand in homework several times a week."

Tu Songyan felt slightly relieved.

"Five... never mind, two hundred yuan, is that okay?"

Su Chao gestured. It was impossible not to take the money; even if they had a relationship in a past life, it had nothing to do with this one.

Besides, you're not taking money for no reason.

That young man must have been so nervous.

"all!"

Tu Songyan nodded vigorously. If it could solve this problem, he was willing to pay two hundred yuan.

"First, you need to think about what a refrigerator is..."

Su Chao began explaining the problem to Tu Songyan.

You can't just throw the answer at them, otherwise the teacher will immediately see through it.

Chang Li's skill level is exceptionally high.

In the 1960s and 70s, bicycles, watches, and sewing machines were the three essential items for marriage. By the 1990s, color TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines had gradually become the new standard of living.

This indicates that the family's financial situation is quite good.

So why is the refrigerator empty?

As this is a student assignment, there's no need to think too much about it. It's just that both husband and wife have lost their jobs, and they still have a family to support.

This is how dramatic conflict arises...

Su Chao spoke for about ten minutes, and Tu Songyan listened with repeated nods.

"Whose is the other one?"

"My classmate did his homework, but Teacher Chang gave him a very low grade. He's quite stubborn and insisted on producing something that would impress Teacher Chang..."

Tu Songyan bought homework for his friend.

"The film 'The Photo Studio' didn't score high, probably because the core story is rather shallow and lacks depth in its performances. We could design the characters in the photo studio as educated youth sent to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution. This would not only make it easier to show depth but also increase the sense of historical authenticity..."

Su Chao handled it with ease, finishing the second one in just a few minutes.

He not only explained it to me, but also wrote down the complete thought process on paper.

This is, after all, something worth hundreds of dollars.

"Dude, you're awesome!"

"Two hundred is fine, brother. This is your first time buying homework. Just help me get some business in the future."

Su Chao patted Tu Songyan on the shoulder.

Dude, you were my older brother in our past life, now it's your turn to be my younger brother.

"Thank you so much! I'll definitely help you bring in more customers to spend money."

Solving the problem of two assignments for two hundred yuan couldn't be easier.

Tu Songyan didn't have much hope when he came.

He heard that the training course offered a money-back guarantee if he failed the exam, which inexplicably gave him some confidence.

Su Chao flicked the two banknotes with his fingers.

Just a few days ago, he robbed a petty thug for ten yuan, but now, he thinks two hundred yuan is nothing.

It's really depraved.

After finishing lunch, Su Chao went to find Chen Jiantian and arranged to meet at the company in the afternoon to pick out two songs to put on the new album.

Tu Songyan ran back to school in a flash.

I was so excited.

"Xiao Ji, Xiao Ji, look what I bought! Haha, I bought the answers to our homework... Xiao Ji, Xiao Ji... Ah?!!"

"you……"

Ji Chenmu was almost in tears.

I didn't ask you to buy homework, but you insisted on volunteering to go to some training class.

You bought it, so you bought it.

Can you please be a little more discreet?

"Ah, Teacher Liang, Teacher Chang..."

Tu Songyan was also dumbfounded.

Because there were two other people sitting in their dormitory, one of whom was Liang Bolong.

Their homeroom teacher!

The other one is Chang Li.

The person who assigned them the homework.

He didn't seem to shout very loudly just now. Is it possible that the teacher didn't hear him?
"Give it to me~"

Chang Li reached out her hand.

She is actually quite old; she has been teaching continuously since graduating in 1965.

However, Liang Bolong was older than her.

Liang Bolong used to be in a performing arts troupe, and he was transferred to the Central Academy of Drama as a teacher in 1961.

Chang Li was his student.

Liang Bolong is now not only the head teacher of the 95 acting class at the Central Academy of Drama, but also the director of the acting teaching and research office and the head of the acting department.

He is sixty years old this year, and he doesn't teach much anymore, so Chang Li is the substitute teacher for the 95 acting class.

In addition, Chang Li will be returning to be a homeroom teacher next year, so she often uses the students from the class of '95 to practice and recapture the feeling of being a homeroom teacher.

Some students did not go home for summer vacation.

Chang Li accompanied Liang Bolong to check each dormitory to see if the students had any difficulties.

As a result, I heard about "buying courses".

Thankfully, Liang Bolong was good-tempered, and although Chang Li was the strictest teacher at the Central Academy of Drama, she was still quite reasonable.

She's not the homeroom teacher, so she has no right to deal with problem students.

We need to find out what's going on first.

Tu Songyan reluctantly handed the two pages of paper to Chang Li.

Two assignments: one titled "An Empty Refrigerator" and the other "A Photo Studio".

Actually, this assignment is meant to stimulate students' potential, not something that is mandatory or punishable if not completed.

Now, the complete answer is written on the blank paper.

Chang Li finished reading one, handed it to Liang Bolong with a blank expression, and then continued reading the other one.

After they both finished reading, they looked at Tu Songyan with a headache.

Tu Songyan bowed his head and pleaded guilty throughout the entire process.

Sorry, buddy, I'm not sure I can handle this pressure.
