Huayu: Starting with Hijacking from "The Story of a Noble Family"

The next day, September 1st, the new semester officially started at the Beijing Film Academy, and Xu Heng officially became a third-year student in the acting department.

Xu Heng and his three roommates arrived at the classroom early in the morning. Since they had to register yesterday, most of the students were there today, including Huang Shengyi, who is currently filming Stephen Chow's movie "Kung Fu".

It is said that in her previous life, Huang Shengyi sued Zhou Xingxing, saying that Zhou Xingxing wouldn't even let her participate in the school's final exams.

But that's after she becomes famous and can make money. Right now, she's not famous yet, so she's not of much value to Stephen Chow. Taking two days off is still an option.

Moreover, her acting skills are giving Stephen Chow a real headache, and he's already thinking about how to reduce her screen time and lines!

As soon as Xu Heng entered the classroom, he saw a group of classmates surrounding Huang Shengyi, with Huang Shengyi's boyfriend Jia Nailiang standing next to her.

At this moment, Jia Nailiang looked visibly embarrassed.

His first leading role in the TV series "The Legend of Tang Dynasty" was filmed two months ago, and he hasn't received any other roles since.

That's normal; he's already played the lead role in a drama, so it's impossible for him to play a supporting role.

Just a few days before his film wrapped up, his girlfriend suddenly became the female lead in Stephen Chow's movie, and his popularity exploded!

Before this, his girlfriend had only played the second female lead in one ordinary campus drama.

He had already landed a leading role, and in a major drama with an even higher budget than Xu Heng's "The Story of a Noble Family," which he often boasted about to his girlfriend.

As a result, his girlfriend is now far more popular than him, and this girlfriend was someone he had a hard time winning over.

He knew that while everyone congratulated him on the surface, they didn't actually think he was good enough for his girlfriend.

And with a girlfriend becoming a "Stephen Chow Girl," there's bound to be a lot of gossip and rumors.

It's perfectly normal for him to overthink things.

Fortunately, "The Legend of Tang Dynasty" will be broadcast this month, and it will be broadcast on CCTV-8, just like "The Story of a Noble Family".

If he becomes as famous as Xu Heng, he can regain his confidence in front of his girlfriend!

At the same time, Jia Nailiang and Huang Shengyi also saw Xu Heng.

Jia Nailiang must have felt some resentment and even hatred towards Xu Heng.

He also knew that his girlfriend had once had feelings for Xu Heng.

However, Xu Heng doesn't provoke him, and he won't provoke Xu Heng either; they keep to themselves and don't interfere with each other.

Even though he knew that it was just Xu Heng who didn't take him seriously at all.

As for Huang Shengyi, her feelings towards Xu Heng are somewhat complicated.

The more outstanding Xu Heng was, the more she regretted not being more proactive back then!

Not to mention that Xu Heng was able to put up two or three million to make a movie, even though the movie hasn't been released yet and the outcome is still unknown, it still proves that Xu Heng is not as simple as he seems!

Of course, she's not doing badly now.

Becoming a "Stephen Chow Girl" already gave her a certain degree of fame.

She might become an instant star after the movie is released.

As a movie star, she will definitely be much more prestigious than Xu Heng, a TV drama star, unless Xu Heng's movie becomes a hit.

But is it really possible for a movie made by a group of college students, with the director being a student actor who has only acted in two TV series, to become a hit?

Or to be more precise, do these people actually know how to make movies?

……

After attending a 45-minute class, Xu Heng simply slipped away without the teacher saying anything.

Many people at the school already knew that Xu Heng's film failed the first review by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

However, it's normal not to pass the review on the first try.

Beijing Film Academy (BFA) attaches great importance to this theatrical film, which was entirely made by current students.

Xu Heng then went to the editing building and began to make rectifications according to the requirements of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

He cares about box office revenue, not artistic merit; as long as the impact isn't too great and the film can be released normally, that's fine.

At this moment, the opening ceremony for freshmen is being held on the playground. Afterwards, these freshmen will undergo two weeks of military training before officially starting classes.

In the evening, Xu Heng and his classmates watched a replay of the 9th Huabiao Awards ceremony held the day before yesterday on a group TV.

At this year's Huabiao Awards, the film "The Great Waves" won the first prize for outstanding feature film.

Zhai Junjie, director of "The Great Waves," and Yang Yazhou, director of "Beautiful Big Feet," jointly won the Outstanding Director Award.

Liu Peiqi, the male lead in "Together with You," and Lu Qi, the male lead in "The Chief Designer," jointly won the Outstanding Actor Award.

Ni Ping, the lead actress in "Beautiful Big Feet," and Huang Suying, the lead actress in "The Person Who Loved Me Most in the World Is Gone," jointly won the Outstanding Actress Award.

Ma Liwen, the director of "The Person Who Loved Me Most in the World Is Gone," won the Best New Director Award.

Pan Yueming, who played a supporting role in "The Great Waves", won the Best New Actor Award.

Xu Jinglei, the female lead in "I Love You", won the Best New Actress Award.

Xu Heng also learned from his classmates that Huang Shengyi had also run away shortly after he had run away in the morning.

Because she only took two days off, she had to return to the "Kung Fu" film crew in Shanghai before tonight.

Two days later, Xu Heng's film was revised and he sent it to the Qingdao Film Studio again.

At this point, the film's runtime had been reduced from 102 minutes to 97 minutes, with approximately 5 minutes cut.

For the next period of time, Xu Heng attended classes as usual.

With his current acting skills, attending classes won't be very effective for him, and it's even more difficult for him to improve his acting skills to Lv.3 on his own.

But in his previous life, he was a 40-something-year-old man, and now he's back on campus, which is quite interesting.

Besides, there aren't many courses in the third year, so it's just something to pass the time.

Liu Yifei was also attending classes at school during this period, but the two had not met in person and had only contacted each other a few times via text message. She also had the most classes during her sophomore year.

Then on the 12th, Xu Heng suddenly received a call from Wang Jinghua.

That evening, Liu Yifei sent him a text message.

Liu Yifei: Tomorrow our class will go to Universal Carnival together!

Xu Heng: Have fun!

Liu Yifei: The Global Carnival is quite fun, and it's the first time it's been held in Beijing. Do you want to go and have some fun with your classmates and friends?

Xu Heng: Forget it, I'm not a child anymore, I'm not interested in amusement parks.

Liu Yifei: Who says only children are interested in amusement parks? Besides, this is Universal Carnival, not an amusement park!

Xu Heng: What's the difference?

Liu Yifei: Hmph, I don't want to talk to you anymore!

A little while later, she sent Xu Heng another text message: "There's a Hong Kong film and television company called Tangren. Their boss contacted my godfather, wanting to cast me as the female lead in a TV series. He even said he'd come all the way from Hong Kong to Beijing to see me. He also said he's planning to cast you as the male lead."

Xu Heng: Tangren is a legitimate film and television company. The boss, Cai Yinong, has also contacted me and said she's planning to cast you as the female lead.

Liu Yifei: You agreed?

Xu Heng: Of course not, what about you?

Liu Yifei: Of course I didn't agree either.

Xu Heng: Why won't you agree?

Liu Yifei: What do you think?

Xu Heng: Do you think Tangren is an unknown small company?

Liu Yifei: No, at least not entirely.

Xu Heng: I see. It seems we think alike.

Liu Yifei: Hmph, you know that, you stingy person!
