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

Chapter 117 Display Technology

Chen Yan was surprised that someone in the class actually dared to bully Liu Yifei.

Zhou Yang broke out in a cold sweat. He had noticed Chen Yan earlier, so he had been pulling Jiang Yiyan with his hand, but she was a bit delirious and didn't look to the side at all.

Hearing Chen Yan's words and seeing Chen Yan in person, he was so frightened that he almost lost his mind, and his face turned pale instantly.

"Wow, Chen Yan! He actually came to listen to a class in the acting department."

"Jiang Yiyan has fallen silent; she must have been rebuked."

"Please, who cares about her? If we could get on Chen Yan's good side and act in his plays, we'd be set for life."

The people around were hushed about, some not saying anything, but most of them shared the same thought.

Chen Yan glanced at Jiang Yiyan indifferently.

"I...that's not what I meant..." Jiang Yiyan stammered.

Chen Yan ignored her explanation and sat down next to Liu Yifei. He raised an eyebrow. Was this the reason she didn't want to come to school?

Liu Yifei pursed her lips, implying that it was one of them.

The atmosphere in the classroom was very strange. Everyone would turn their heads from time to time to look at Chen Yan seemingly unintentionally, and two people even took out their phones to take pictures.

For many wealthy students at the Beijing Film Academy, carrying a cell phone with a camera is not a difficult thing.

When Liu Shibing walked into the classroom carrying a large teacup, he joked, "Hey, everyone's here today, and they're all so well-behaved."

He walked to the podium and looked down, when he suddenly saw a celebrity from the Beijing Film Academy.

Liu Shibing is a very kind-hearted acting teacher, both in appearance and personality. He's chubby and loves to joke around with his students.

Today, someone posted photos of Chen Yan and Liu Yifei attending their performance class on the campus forum, and Liu Shibing's class was instantly packed.

Several students were even crammed together, with a few others standing behind them who were just auditing the class.

Liu Shibing glanced at the door and saw a few people who had come to join the fun.

"So that's why you're all so enthusiastic today, you're here for the audition." Liu Shibing didn't directly mention Chen Yan's name.

Instead, they treated him as an ordinary performing arts student, which made Chen Yan feel more at ease.

If Liu Shibing asked him to say a few words on the spot, he would probably try to take Liu Yifei away after he finished speaking.

"Let's change our course today. Today we'll do some film and television practice." Liu Shibing said, picking up his teacup and taking a sip.

The students below immediately became eager to try, as Teacher Liu was giving them a chance to shine in front of Director Chen.

If you don't seize such a great opportunity, you'd be a fool.

Of course, there were also those who couldn't laugh. The first was Jiang Yiyan, and the second was Zhou Yang.

Jiang Yiyan's heart was still pounding. She hadn't expected Liu Yifei to bring Chen Yan along. Could he have blacklisted her?

I was just joking with Liu Yifei.

Jiang Yiyan, remembering Zhou Yang, quickly moved closer to him and whispered, "Yangyang, do you think Director Chen is angry with me? Should I apologize to him?"

Zhou Yang was speechless. Good grief, you still don't know who you messed with? Even I can see that Chen Yan is standing up for Liu Yifei.

You even apologized to Chen Yan; do you really not know who you've offended?

If it weren't for Liu Yifei, Chen Yan probably wouldn't even take you seriously.

But since they were classmates who had spent a lot of time together, she still offered a suggestion: "Yi Yan, I think you should give it to Yi Fei."

Apologize."

Jiang Yiyan frowned deeply, but she was also a person who could bend and stretch.

He nodded firmly and said, "Okay! I'll listen to you."

As he spoke, he turned his head and immediately put on a smiling face, looking at Chen Yan and Liu Yifei.

Chen Yan noticed her gaze, turned her head immediately, and began to whisper to Liu Yifei what Liu Shibing was going to do later.

He didn't give Jiang Yiyan a kind look at all.

Jiang Yiyan's face instantly fell, and to make matters worse, a few laughs of amusement broke out from the surrounding area.

She turned her head stiffly, and Zhou Yang leaned over to look, wondering what had happened and why Jiang Yiyan looked so pale.

"Yi Yan, what's wrong?"

Jiang Yiyan lowered her eyes, almost breaking the pen in her hand: "It's nothing, let's start class."

Zhou Yang glanced at the pen tip that had been etched onto the table through the notebook and guessed what was going on. He figured that Yi Yan was so angry because Chen Yan had ignored her.

She leaned back in her chair and turned her head to look at Chen Yan and Liu Yifei, who were whispering to each other with their heads down.

He didn't even look around.

"Why.

'

"The first scene is Jiang Wenli in 'Farewell My Concubine' kneeling and begging the opera troupe manager to accept Xiaodouzi."

"The second scene is the scene between Qiu Ju and the village chief in 'The Story of Qiu Ju'."

"The third one..." Liu Shibing paused here, looking towards the back row.

"It's the scene in 'Love' where You Muchang fails to feed Qin Yi and slaps her."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan looked up and made eye contact with Liu Shibing. Both of them smiled politely.

After learning that Chen Yan wasn't opposed to it, Liu Shibing smiled broadly and asked, "Has anyone signed up for the first group?"

Liu Yifei blinked: "Chen Yan, I want to try Qiu Ju's lawsuit."

Chen Yan looked Liu Yifei up and down. This girl was too striking. Even though she was wearing a bulky floral cotton-padded jacket, her face still looked very fashionable. She didn't look like a country girl at all.

"If you want to try it, then give it a shot," Chen Yan said, not wanting to dampen her enthusiasm.

Sure enough, when it came to the second group, Liu Yifei raised her hand very enthusiastically.

Liu Shibing was very surprised: "Okay, you're in the second group."

"Where's your partner?" Liu Shibing smiled broadly, then looked at Chen Yan.

Chen Yan lowered his head and coughed. Now he would have to put in the effort to act alongside her.

He's very handsome, unlike any other young man from the village.

However, Zhu Yawen was not there, so Chen Yan had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead.

Each group had 5 minutes to memorize and rehearse their lines. Chen Yan only glanced at the lines and memorized them all. Then, Liu Yifei kept struggling with her accent.

"This accent is so hard, Chen Yan," Liu Yifei said, looking at him expectantly.

Chen Yan didn't care; it was her choice to act, so he just stood there and laughed.

Seeing that Chen Yan ignored her, Liu Yifei got angry and turned her back to continue watching the original version, then read along with the video.

After the first group finished performing, Liu Yifei started to panic because she hadn't fully memorized the accented speech.

"Don't worry, it's okay if you don't perform well. I'll practice with you when we get home." Chen Yan had already adopted the village chief's accent. Although his Shaanxi dialect wasn't authentic, it already had a certain flavor.

The two walked to the front, and everyone applauded.

Liu Shibing said, "Begin!"

Liu Yifei leaned against the podium and said in a bright, clear voice, "I'm not after the money, I just want an explanation."
