Huayu 2009: Who should we call the Heavenly King?

Mark Nan's Western Restaurant, located near the Donghua Gate of the Forbidden City, was founded by an American and initially started as an art gallery.

It later became a Western restaurant.

The movie "Love is Not Blind" was filmed here, and Shen Yan chose this place for a dinner party, mainly to bring Nezha along.

He himself is not particular about food.

"Senior brother, over here."

Seeing a young man with a buzz cut walk into the restaurant, Shen Yan stood up and waved.

"Junior brother, I've finally met you in person today."

After taking his seat, Liu Chang smiled and offered his congratulations.

"When you first enrolled, there were rumors in the school that a really handsome guy had come to the acting department. I was too busy at the time and never got to see him in person."

"You flatter me, senior."

Shen Yan smiled slightly.

"Let me introduce you. This is Nazar, the female lead in 'The Brightest Star in the Night Sky.' This is Nati, Nazar's older sister."

Shen Yan's first album will have a total of four music videos. "You Exist in My Song" is the first single. The female lead in the music video has been reserved by Liu Shishi, and Cai Yinong directed the version.

The female lead in "Bubble" is Zhang Junning.

"The Ordinary Road" has no main character. Shen Yan is preparing to learn from the original version and use the subjective perspective of a car driving throughout.

Actually, none of these music videos have much of a plot; they are simply Shen Yan singing, and the perspective of memories of getting to know each other, falling in love, and breaking up.

It's too rushed.

If we were to shoot it as a short film-style music video, there simply wouldn't be enough time.

From then on, Liu Chang did most of the talking. Although the task was simple, he still drew a simple storyboard.

Shen Yan would occasionally offer his opinions.

The Naza sisters listened the whole time, and as they listened, Nati felt reassured that the filming of "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" was proceeding normally.

There weren't any intimate scenes added.

She was always a little wary of Shen Yan.

Having been in the workforce for several years, she doesn't believe in unwarranted favoritism. If it's a serious relationship, she won't interfere after six months.

What I fear most is being scammed.

It's because her younger sister isn't very bright that the older sister has to worry about her so much.

"That's settled then. I'll leave the rest to you, senior brother."

After finalizing the preliminary plan, Shen Yan raised his glass.

"I'll have someone from Gold Typhoon contact you the day after tomorrow to scout locations. If all goes well, we'll start filming around New Year's Day."

"No problem, I'm available anytime."

Liu Chang smiled and raised his glass to toast Shen Yan. After all, Shen Yan was the big spender, and the deal wasn't complicated; the big company was quick to pay.

It's much better than running a group.

Although the directing and cinematography departments at the Beijing Film Academy are top-tier programs, it's not easy for new directors to succeed. He does have some connections in his family.

Compared to second-generation rich kids like Lu Chuan, they're far inferior.

Getting into the directing department of Beijing Film Academy was basically the limit of his family's savings.

The directing department at Beijing Film Academy is arguably the most difficult major to get into, bar none.

In a word.

It does not accept students with no prior knowledge. Before applying, you must have a certain amount of film viewing experience and knowledge reserves. If you have practical experience, that would be even better.

Ordinary people, without guidance, don't even know how to learn.

and so.

After graduation, Liu Chang spent most of his time either working on film sets as an assistant director or simply being idle.

Making a movie?

Who will invest in him?

"See you later, senior brother."

After dinner, Shen Yan drove Liu Chang back to her rented apartment.

"Shen Yan, can I ask you something?"

When Nati was taking the Nazha sisters back to their hotel, she hesitated for a long time before finally asking a question.

"What is it?"

"If I want to apply to the Beijing Film Academy, is it too late?"

Last month, Naza, accompanied by her whole family, participated in the autumn recruitment of the cultural troupe, but she was not accepted.

Those who applied were incredibly talented; they either had connections or exceptional professional skills.

Although there will be spring recruitment next year, after this setback, their family feels that the path to the performing arts troupe is not easy, mainly because there is no guarantee of a permanent position next year.

"I am a little nervous."

Shen Yan analyzed.

"The entrance exam for the performing arts academy is in February. Nazha hasn't studied any related basics, so she's cramming, and there might not be enough time."

"What about next year?"

"There's no need to be so pessimistic."

Shen Yan said with a smile.

"You can try applying to Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, and Shanghai Theatre Academy. Sister Ti, you should pay more attention to Shanghai Theatre Academy."

"Shanghai Theatre Academy?"

As she spoke, Nati nudged her infatuated younger sister.

What's wrong?

Are you that impatient?

"Um."

Shen Yan revealed some news.

"I inquired and found that the Shanghai Theatre Academy has a cooperation agreement with the Xinjiang Provincial Department of Culture this year, signing a targeted training program with a total of 20 places."

"However, there may not be any spots available, but for students from Xinjiang who apply to the Shanghai Theatre Academy, even without going through the commissioned training program, the chances of admission are slightly higher than for other schools."

This kind of news is hard to find out if you're not in a specific circle.

Shen Yan was unaware of this policy before, but now, looking back at the results, it's no wonder that Dilraba applied to the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

Her father was a member of a song and dance troupe, and had some connection to the system, so it was easy for him to find out about this through various channels.

In contrast, consider Nazar.

Her parents have no connection to the arts and entertainment industry, so how could they possibly know about this kind of information?

"Thank you, thank you for telling us this news. By the way, there are large lavender fields in Yili. If you have time next June, would you like to come to Xinjiang Province for a visit? Nazha and I can be your tour guides."

As she spoke, Nati sighed inwardly. She was afraid she wouldn't be able to keep her little cabbage. However, although she was still somewhat wary, she wasn't so averse to it anymore.

At least they have the heart.

Shen Yan is already a student at the Beijing Film Academy. He's busy filming and releasing albums. If he wasn't interested, why would he bother to inquire about the Shanghai Theatre Academy's policies?

"Thanks, I'll accept it. I probably won't have time to play."

Shen Yan smiled.

"I guess they were filming at the time, but I had heard about the lavender fields in Yili before. If I have the chance in the future, I might go there to film a music video."

"No matter when, just let me know, and I'll definitely treat you."

Nati thought for a moment and decided to send something as a gift later, perhaps a good piece of Hetian jade.

Let Naza pay for it himself!

The young girl earns more as a model than she does as a flight attendant.

"Brother Yan, I want to get into the Shanghai Theatre Academy!"

He craned his neck, staring intently at Shen Yan.

Shanghai Theatre Academy is great.

Yan Ge signed with Tangren Media in Shanghai.

"Then you should sign up for a class. The Shanghai Theatre Academy has official pre-exam tutoring classes, and it's not too late to sign up now."

"Official tutoring classes?"

"Yes, it was organized by the Shanghai Theatre Academy itself. The teachers are all professors from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and they undergo intensive training for a month."

Shen Yan was also shocked when he first learned about this.

Art exam preparation classes are very common, you can find them everywhere. Which student applying to Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, or Shanghai Theatre Academy hasn't attended a tutoring class?

Shen Yan himself had also attended an intensive training course, a real intensive one. He only studied for seven days, got a general understanding of the process, and then went to take the exam.

He expressed his shock that a school like the Shanghai Theatre Academy would run its own entrance exam preparation classes.

"Okay, I'll ask someone later."

Shen Yan's attentiveness was not without its own ulterior motives.

If I remember correctly, Naza and Reba went to the same high school. If they go to the same university, it's normal for them to become close friends, right?

However, it is not necessarily.

The two have completely different personalities, and each has a seemingly useless move.

As for who to ask to handle it, of course it's Cai Yinong!

What does the boss do?

Serving the staff!
