Huayu 1999: Starting with nothing but getting something for nothing

They had all attended his classes. Xiao Wei, also known as Xiao Wei, and Cheng Er were among the last batch of undergraduate students taught by Hou Keming.

Hou Keming mainly taught two courses at the Beijing Film Academy: "Audiovisual Language" and "The Art of Directing." He also served as the vice president of the Beijing Film Academy, the director of the Youth Film Studio, the director of the Beijing Film Academy Television Drama Production Center, and the dean of the Animation School.

You never know when you might have to visit someone's home, so it's always good to leave a good impression.

A short while later, with Cheng Er's shout of "Cut!", the scenes filmed on campus were finished.

It was now 12:30, and we had been busy since 8 a.m.

Liu Chang, Xiao Wei, Xing Jianwei, Wu Shixian, and others got busy again, this time distributing treats to their classmates: snack gift packs (chewing gum, sunflower seeds, biscuits, chocolate, and canned cola), with boys getting an extra box of Yuxi cigarettes and girls receiving a hand cream and lip balm.

The students were absolutely thunderous.

Huang Xiaoming was the loudest, saying things like "Brother Cheng is awesome!"

Wu Shixian, holding a megaphone, said with a smile, "Dear juniors, I'm from the class of '97. I'll invite you all to see the movie when it's released. If you like it, please give it a thumbs up online! This movie was made with pooled funds, so it really needs everyone's support!"

A group of handsome men and beautiful women were incredibly enthusiastic, and applause was constant.

Yuxi hand cream + lip balm smell so good.

The students were happy, and the behind-the-scenes staff were naturally happy too, because they had a good lunch and a rest in the afternoon.

The actress wasn't very happy because she was going to chat with Wang Jinghua that afternoon, and her boyfriend, with whom she had just confirmed their relationship, couldn't be with her. She felt insecure, but there was nothing she could do; her boyfriend had to be with his boss.

Yang Che didn't step forward to win people's hearts; he wasn't from the Beijing Film Academy, so it wouldn't have the same effect. Besides, the money wasn't his, Lao Fan was still around, and everyone who knew would know anyway.

At this moment, Huang Haibo and Hai Qing stood together, watching Yang Che chat about something.

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 1 ...

Fan Bingbing was talking to Li Jie about something.

The two were old acquaintances. When Fan Bingbing was studying at Xie Jin Art School, Li Jie was her physical education teacher.

Both of them applied to the Beijing Film Academy in 97. Fan Bingbing passed the preliminary test, but during the interview, Professor Qi Shilong of the Acting Department thought she was too beautiful, so beautiful that she had no flaws, and therefore did not admit her.

On the same day, Hai Qing and her mother were also shocked by Xiao Pang's good looks. Her mother pointed at Fan Bingbing and said: "Look, you have no chance."

However, in 96, Huang Xiaoming was accepted because Cui Xinqin said, "Even if he can't do anything and is just a block of wood, he's still a beautiful block of wood." So Huang Xiaoming, who had never studied voice, acting, or physical expression, was accepted.

Speaking of which, there's a rumor online that Xiao Pang and Li Jie developed feelings for each other while studying at Xie Jin Art School and had a teacher-student relationship... then broke up in 99 because of the huge success of Huanzhu.

That year, Xiao Pang was only 15 years old. Putting aside the fact that Xiao Pang hadn't been in school for long before starting to drift in Beijing, where would he have gotten the time to develop feelings for someone in America? And that was in 96. Li Jie didn't care about his reputation, he didn't even care about his life.

It's highly likely that the two had a relationship, dating back to between 2001 and 2004. During those three years, they collaborated on four TV dramas, all playing lovers. Later, Li Jie vaguely mentioned this relationship on a TV program, and somehow it was rumored to be a teacher-student romance between 15-year-olds.

It's impossible that Jia Yun was Xiao Pang's first man, and it could never be Li Jie...

As I said before, sometimes you really shouldn't listen to what others say. Just look at the timeline and what happened during that period, and you can generally draw a conclusion. After all, there has to be a logical connection between time and space.

..........

But I digress. Let's get back to the main topic.

At this moment, Yang Che was chatting with Hou Keming and Cheng Er.

Hou Keming pointed at the cheering students from the acting department and laughed, "People aren't worried about scarcity, but about inequality. If you keep doing this, what are the other directing students supposed to do?"

Facing his teacher, Cheng Er rarely smiled: "Go find Yang Che, he has money, and he can also bring in investment."

A hint of surprise flashed in Hou Keming's eyes.

Yang Che chuckled and changed the subject: "Teacher Hou, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

"Oh? You go ahead."

"You just said you taught a class for the continuing education course today. Can I audit it? How much tuition do I need to pay?"

Cheng Er asked in confusion: Didn't you say you were going to take the postgraduate entrance exam?

Hou Keming already knew that Yang Che was a recent art student who had just graduated from university. He had also seen Yang Che's storyboard. Instead of answering, he asked, "You want to study directing?"

Yang Che glanced at Cheng Er and said with a smile, "I like visuals, but I don't have much of an impressionistic mindset. Through spending these past few days with Cheng Er and the others, I've discovered that I'm not bad at montage thinking, so I want to take some further lessons."

Hou Keming paused upon hearing this, but swallowed back the words he had used to persuade him to take the postgraduate entrance exam.

"You can attend theoretical and film analysis classes for a year, but you can't participate in practical classes, group assignments, or get a certificate of completion. The tuition is 10,000 yuan."

Yang Che nodded hurriedly, wishing he could pay the fee right now, but Hou Keming said it would be next Monday.

"Come find me first when the time comes."

"Okay, Teacher Hou."

Hou Keming nodded and left with a flourish.

Cheng Er then asked in confusion, "Brother Che, are you really going to school? No, weren't you going to take the postgraduate entrance exam?"

"When did I ever say I wanted to take the postgraduate entrance exam?"

"That's what you said on the phone with your mom."

"That's a white lie. I know what you want to ask. I don't plan to attend classes in a conventional way. I just pay for a ticket, get to know the professors, and then I can ask them questions as a matter of course."

"Ten thousand yuan, bro, just go ahead and learn it!"

Cheng Er opened his mouth slightly and slowly extended a thumb.

Yang Che chuckled and went downstairs with the chubby boy who was jumping towards him.

I definitely shouldn't take the postgraduate entrance exam, let alone go to graduate school. It's too much of a waste of time and there's no need for it.

But what if Yang Che really wants to learn more about it?

The directing profession is actually similar to writing online novels; you can get started as long as you can read, but reaching the top is like climbing to heaven.

Simply put, a director uses a literary script as a foundation, employs montage thinking to develop artistic concepts, and coordinates and integrates the overall art of character development, scene design, time and space structure, sound, music, and other elements.

Yang Che has a lot of stories in his mind, but to turn these stories into scripts and movies, he either needs to spend a few years reading books and working on film sets, or he needs to go through the theoretical knowledge and then put it into practice.

Which path to take? It becomes clear after a little thought.

Just as the two came downstairs, Fan Bingbing bumped into Yang Che and then excitedly gestured with her eyes: "Brother, look!"

Yang Che followed his gaze and saw that the woman chatting and laughing with Lao Fan was Yang Lihua, or rather, Princess Saiya, Zhang Heng.
