Who says Beijing Film Academy has no great directors? (2002)

The phone call lasted for more than half an hour before Chen Yan finally comforted the heartbroken girl.

After hanging up the call, Chen Yan saw a message Zhou Yang had sent him. Last time, Zhou Yang went to Liu Yifei to ask for his contact information, but Liu Yifei ultimately declined after asking Chen Yan.

Chen Yan told her to make the decision, but Liu Yifei still ignored her for a long time afterward.

Chen Yan is really clueless. He's defended himself from every angle, so how come Liu Yifei can still find a way to get angry?

Free and Easy: "Sure, you're welcome to audition."

Yang Shu: "Thanks~"

Free and Easy: "Don't thank me yet. I won't give you any special treatment. The final decision will be based on the audition results."

Yang Shu: "Hahaha, I got it, I'll try my best!"

12 points.

Because Ning Hao had something to do, Chen Yan took Zhou Yifeng to the classroom that Qiao Liang had arranged for him, and found that Qiao Liang was already waiting inside.

Chen Yan couldn't help but sigh, "The teacher-student relationship is truly pure these days."

Of course, Chen Yan is not qualified to audition in the department's auditorium yet; it's already quite good that the department has allocated him a small classroom.

There were quite a few people at the entrance.

Wow, there are actually a few famous ones among them: Luo Jin, Zhu Yawen, Jia Nailiang, Wang Luodan, and Zhou Yang.

Then there's Guo Jingfei from the Shanghai Theatre Academy. As soon as he arrived, he looked around, standing out among a group of handsome men and beautiful women from the Beijing Film Academy.

Guo Jingfei was still incredulous that a director from the Beijing Film Academy had asked him to audition. How did they even know him?

Zhang Jiayi remained remarkably calm. None of the young people seemed to be a threat to his audition, except for one person who peeked out from the crowd: Guo Jingfei.

If Guo Jingfei knew, he'd cry foul; he's only 23, he just looks older than his age!

After the interviews began, Zhang Jiayi was the first one. He walked into the classroom with his back straight and gave a brief greeting.

"Hello, teachers and directors. My name is Zhang Jiayi, and I am 32 years old."

Chen Yan glanced at his demeanor and saw that he still had the air of a boss.

Zhou Yifeng said, "The script is on your left. You have five minutes to prepare. You can start anytime when you're ready."

Zhang Jiayi nodded, opened the script, and found the scene where he was scolding Huang Xiaoxian in the office.

Three minutes later, Zhang Jiayi stood up and said he was ready.

Chen Yan nodded, and as soon as it came to the audition, his long-accumulated directorial aura naturally emerged.

"Okay, let's begin."

Qiao Liang didn't actually pay much attention to Zhang Jiayi's performance. Instead, he quietly began to observe Chen Yan, and the more he looked at his student, the more he liked him.

She exuded authority without being angry, and was not intimidated by Zhang Jiayi, who was in her thirties. Instead, she steadily controlled the pace of the audition.

Zhang Jiayi was sweating a little after his performance.

Chen Yan didn't leave any suspense and made the decision directly: "You acted well. The crew will start filming in the middle of the month, so remember to make sure you have the time available."

The character Zhang Jiayi doesn't have many scenes, so he was paid 5000 yuan based on Zhang Jiayi's current market price.

Zhang Jiayi immediately beamed with joy, repeatedly saying thank you, director, thank you, director.

He took the script for his part and left.

The crowd watching outside saw the first person take the script and go out, and their feelings became very complicated. A movie doesn't have many roles to begin with, and the first one got approved. Will they be able to get a good role when it's their turn?

Guo Jingfei overheard some people from his own school discussing that they might have made a wasted trip today.

He panicked even more. He was from another school, so his chances of success were even slimmer.

I never expected that I would be called next.

Guo Jingfei swallowed hard, stood up, and was met with curious glances from those around him.

Guo Jingfei's self-introduction was somewhat reserved, far less relaxed than Zhang Jiayi's.

"Hello everyone, my name is Guo Jingfei, I'm from the Central Academy of Drama, and I'm a junior this year."

Zhou Yifeng still explained the audition process: "The script is on your left. You have 5 minutes to prepare. Once you're ready, you can begin."

Guo Jingfei, being a graduate of the Central Academy of Drama, calmed down after reading the script.

She even got so into character during the performance that she treated Chen Yan and the others as Huang Xiaoxian from a great distance and talked to them.

Guo Jingfei raised his head slightly and said emotionally, "Have you ever thought about my feelings? Every time, I have to beg like a dog to find a way to back down."

You always stand there, so arrogant and unyielding. No one can bear your enormous pride. I'm different. I want to move forward, you understand?

Qiao Liang looked at Guo Jingfei with admiration. He finally understood why Chen Yan insisted on going to the Central Academy of Drama to find someone himself. This Guo Jingfei really had some skills.

Such a promising talent, why isn't he from Beijing Film Academy?

Zhou Yifeng also pulled Chen Yan aside and whispered his comments: "You acted really well."

Chen Yan nodded in agreement: "That's right."

Guo Jingfei made up his mind just like that, and couldn't stop smiling as he left.

Those watching felt their hearts sink instantly.

Jia Nailiang complained to Luo Jin next to him, "Time flies so fast, how many characters are left?"

Luo Jin smiled slightly and said nothing.

Zhou Yang was also worried, as she noticed that many of the female classmates who came were outstanding.

As expected, Jia Nailiang was eliminated. When he left, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Chen Yan didn't even look at him closely. He was from the Backstabbing Cult, after all. He eliminated him with just one glance.

In the end, Chen Yan gave the role of the cheating best friend to Zhou Yang, who smiled very brightly when she found out.

When Chen Yan mentioned this to Liu Yifei, she didn't say anything.

However, the second time we met, I "accidentally" stepped on his foot while walking.

As Liu Yifei walked, she suddenly turned around and smiled sweetly: "Oh, right, I have some good news to share with you! Mom said the crew of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is willing to wait for me."

Liu Yifei looked at Chen Yan with pleading eyes like a doe and said, "But they said they can only wait for me for two months at most."

It was practically a plea: "Please, please film more of my scenes so I can go earlier."

Chen Yan found it strange and asked, "Was it Zhang Jizhong who made the decision?"

Then he began to look the young girl up and down. She was quite charming; she could keep Zhang Ji waiting for her for two months.

Liu Yifei felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and said with an "Oh dear," "No, Mom said the godfather helped me communicate with him."

"In addition, the director and producer felt that I was more suitable for the role than the other candidates. After asking me how long the movie would take to shoot, they decided to wait for me."

Liu Yifei was gesturing wildly as she spoke, clearly having been happy for a long time. No wonder she didn't get angry when Chen Yan joked with her these past two days; she had been keeping good news to herself.

Chen Yan, with his hands behind his back, glanced at the girl out of the corner of his eye and said mercilessly, "But I think I heard that they've been casting for the role of Duan Yu for half a year and still haven't made a decision, so don't get too excited. Maybe it's not because of you that the project has been put on hold."

Chen Yan knew the principle of maintaining harmony even among close relatives, so she didn't mention that her mother's friend surnamed Chen might not have been of much help.

It seems they still want to build up goodwill here, in preparation for signing Liu Yifei.

Do you think I shouldn't try to sabotage you? If you manage to steal the little lamb that's already in my grasp, then my time travel was for nothing.
