Entertaining Children

The graduation drama of the Acting Department of Yanjing Film Academy is a graduation performance, and the performance venue is in the school theater, which is an on-campus activity, mainly for the teachers and students of the school. However, although this kind of performance is not a public performance that sells tickets to the outside world, non-school personnel are not prohibited from entering the venue to watch.

Many relatives and friends came to see Zhao Rui's graduation performance this time. Four of the five families have actors. Except for Lin Shaohua and his wife who are far away in Shanghai, and Xiao Siqi and Zhou Lixing, two elders who are not interested in acting at all, everyone else basically came. However, such a large group of people could not sit together.

This is a graduation report performance. The leaders and teachers of the school have specially arranged seats, and they are relatively concentrated in the better positions in the middle and front row. Sun Zhihao is the teacher of Yandian, and the seat is arranged. Others do not have this treatment, so they can only find free seats on both sides and behind.

When they entered the arena, there were already many students sitting in the auditorium. Except for the back row where the view was very bad, there were no more vacant seats in front, so the group had to be divided into two groups. Today is Zhao Rui's graduation performance, and Zhao Rui's sister Zhao Ru is also here. Zhao Ru is already in her thirties. She sits with Zhao Tao and his wife, Ye Jiaying and Hu Xuena, who are from the previous generation. Young people next year sat in another group.

After entering the arena, Sun Zhihao briefly explained a few words to Xiao Yao and others, and watched them find their seats before going to his seat.

At this time, the performance hadn't started yet, and after Xiao Yao and the others found their seats, they had nothing to do, so they just sat in their seats and chatted casually.

Everyone was mainly discussing how Zhao Rui will perform tonight. Lin Qisan and Zhou Zhihao even suggested that two girls, Sun Tingting and Nina, help them occupy their seats. They sneaked backstage to see Zhao Rui who was preparing for the performance .

Xiao Yao was also very moved by this proposal, but before they could make the trip, they were interrupted by an accident.

"Bayi!" Sun Tingting patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder, pointed behind him and whispered, "My dad is here!"

Xiao Yao, who was meeting Lin Qisan and Zhou Zhihao to discuss whether to sneak backstage to find Zhao Rui, looked back,

Now Sun Zhihao walked over with a gray-haired but hale and hearty old man.

"Xiao Yao, this is the deputy dean of our acting school, Mr. Shen Hongshu. I heard that you are here, so I came here to see you!" Walking up to several little guys, Sun Zhihao introduced the old man beside him to Xiao Yao.

The school pays more attention to the graduation drama every year. Today, not only the leaders and teachers of the Acting Academy were present, but even the leaders of the Film Academy appeared in the theater. Sun Zhihao is a teacher of the Acting Department of the Film Academy, and the students he is currently leading are in the same class as Xiao Yao, who have just finished their junior year. Although this graduation performance is not performed by his students, but because he is not only well-known in the circle, but also has deep qualifications and reputation in the school, the location for this graduation performance is also quite good, which is a distance from the School of Performing Arts and the school. The seat of leadership is not far away.

Sun Zhihao's seat was right next to the old dean Shen. Before the performance, the two chatted for a while, and they accidentally talked about Xiao Yao. Hearing from Sun Zhihao that Xiao Yao was here today, this old Shen Yuanzi proposed to come and see this legendary little evildoer on a whim. Sun Zhihao had been a student of Mr. Shen back then, and the teacher wanted to see Xiao Yao, of course Sun Zhihao had nothing to say, and immediately got up to call Xiao Yao over, but Mr. Shen waved his hand and asked them to go by themselves.

"Hello, Mr. Shen!" Xiao Yao quickly stood up, took off the hat on his head, and bowed to the old man.

"Hello, Mr. Shen!" Sun Tingting, Lin Qisan, Nina, Zhou Zhihao, and Zhu Zitong also stood up and bowed to say hello.

Although this Shen Hongshu is the vice president now, he is not good at doing administrative work. Decades ago, he was also a very well-known film director in China, and he has been a teacher at Yandian for many years, bringing out a group of star students such as Sun Zhihao. artist.

Four of these six people are studying acting and have already become actors. Sun Tingting plans to become an actor in the future, and she also knows that this person in front of her is her father's teacher. Cameos come in the form of blending. In the face of such an old senior with both virtue and skill in the entertainment industry, the few people even felt a little fearful in addition to respect.

"Hello!" Shen Hongshu waved his hands with a smile, "Don't be so nervous. It is said that meeting is worse than being famous. I just came to see the young genius who has been famous for a long time."

"It's still Bayi! The vice president of Yandian came here to see him!" Lin Qisan murmured in a low voice. Everyone knows who the "young genius" Shen Hongshu refers to.

"I can't afford you to say that." Xiao Yao hurriedly bent over and said, "I have been famous for you for a long time, I should be the one who went to see you!"

"Why can't you afford it?" Shen Hongshu said with a smile, "That animation movie of yours has a box office of nearly 900 million, right? An acting student who hasn't graduated yet made an animation with a box office of one billion and a word-of-mouth rating of over 8. Movies, can't you still afford the title of a genius?"

"Robot Wall-E" was released last Thursday, and the box office on Thursday was more than 300 million. In the early days of a movie's release, it's normal for Monday's box office to drop by half compared to Sunday's. The next two days, Monday and Tuesday, should logically be the two days when the box office dropped sharply. However, due to the box office explosion on weekends and weekends, the good word-of-mouth of the movie spread more quickly, and theaters further increased the number of movies. In the first two days of the second week, it actually maintained the same box office as the two days of the weekend.

By Wednesday, the single-day box office of the movie finally dropped to a certain extent, but the drop was not very large, only about 20% month-on-month. On Thursday, it continued to fall by more than ten percent, but on Friday, the box office reversed again, reaching Wednesday's level. Calculated, in the first nine days of the film's release, it was indeed almost 900 million. There are still more than two weeks to come. Judging from this trend, breaking one billion is definitely not a problem.

"You're too much!" Xiao Yao laughed, "It's everyone's credit!"

"Grandpa Shen, sit down!" Sun Tingting gave up her seat and said, "Sit down and chat!"

"Okay!" Shen Hongshu smiled and nodded to Sun Tingting, waved his hands and said, "Sit down!"

Xiao Yao and the others had no other vacant seats nearby. Sun Tingting gave up her seat to Shen Hongshu, and Zhu Zitong gave up her seat to Sun Zhihao who came with her, and stood by the side like Sun Tingting. This is Yanjing Film Academy, Zhu Zitong is considered the master, and Sun Zhihao took them in that class, even if he didn't take her class, he was also her teacher.

"The success of a movie is indeed the credit of everyone." After sitting down, Shen Hongshu looked at Xiao Yao again and said, "But I heard that you were the planner, producer, director, and screenwriter of that movie. The character image is all designed by you, if you want to count the credit, it must be your greatest credit."

"Hehe!" Xiao Yao scratched his head with a smile, and stopped talking.

"I've heard Lao Xiao mention you a lot," Shen Hongshu continued, "I've always praised you as a genius!"

"My grandpa, what grandpa doesn't praise his grandson?" Xiao Yao laughed, "When I lived in his place when I was young, he dragged me to show off in front of the old man whenever I had nothing to do!"

"Afterwards, I heard that Zhihao mentioned you, and he praised you!" Shen Hongshu laughed again.

"Uncle Sun, this is my future father-in-law, of course I have to praise it," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Doesn't that mean that his daughter has a problem with vision? If her daughter's vision is problematic, it means that there is a problem with his education! "

"Hey~ you kid!" Sun Zhihao glared at Xiao Yao.

"Future father-in-law?" Shen Hongshu looked at Sun Zhihao and Sun Tingting who were standing aside, and laughed, "It should be generous, not bad!"

"To be honest, I didn't think much of Lao Xiao's words at first. I've seen a lot of big or good ones now that I'm young." Shen Hongshu continued, "A few years ago, when you won awards for acting in TV dramas, I didn't. My eyes lit up. It's a pity that you went to sing again later. Singing is good, but it has nothing to do with our film making, and I didn't pay much attention. Later, you won the number one prize in Shenxi Opera and made a short film in France. After winning the award, Zhihao also started talking about you from time to time, so I am very interested in you!"

"The movie you acted in last year was very good," Shen Hongshu continued, "Although the director is your mother, it can be seen that you have put in a lot of hard work! I heard that you lived with the prototype characters in order to make that movie For a few months, I locked myself in the studio and starved myself for two days. Before the filming started, I went to the small dark room to find the emotions of the characters. After watching that movie, I believe those things are true, and I also affirm you Will be a good actor!"

"Thank you Mr. Shen for your compliment!" Xiao Yao said cautiously, "Although you are my grandfather's friend, I don't know why you praised me so much."

"Because you are indeed worthy of praise!" Shen Hongshu laughed.

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao thanked again, and then secretly glanced at Sun Zhihao who was at the side.

After the old man came over, he boasted fiercely, and Xiao Yao was a little puzzled. Although I did a good job, it shouldn't be worth it for this respected senior to come here to praise me like this, right? Even if he is a friend of his grandfather! Xiao Yao couldn't ask directly, so he wanted to get some hints from Sun Zhihao.

There was no expression on Sun Zhihao's face, and Xiao Yao didn't see any clues. But Shen Hongshu himself expressed his intentions.

"You are such a good film actor, but you didn't come out of our Film Academy. I feel a little regretful." Shen Hongshu said, "You have already studied in Shenxi, so you will definitely not be able to come to our Film Academy for undergraduate studies, but postgraduates are still possible. After watching the "127 Hours", I had an idea to come out next year to lead a graduate student, and I want you to study as a graduate student in my acting department!"

"Ah?" Xiao Yao asked in surprise.

"I'm going, isn't this messing up seniority?" Zhou Zhihao whispered in Lin Qisan's ear, "I heard that Mr. Shen is Uncle Sun's teacher. If Bayi becomes Mr. Shen's student, wouldn't it be Weng?" Son-in-law becomes classmate?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Qisan stared at Zhou Zhihao and said, "Is this what you're talking about?"

"But after watching your animated film, I was a little shaken." Shen Hongshu continued, "You won awards for the short film you made, and now you have made such a high-rated animated film. I don't even know What suits you best is to be an actor or a director, whether it is a live-action movie or an animated movie."

"Why can't they all be suitable?" Xiao Yao smiled confidently.

"After thinking about it, I think so too!" Shen Hongshu nodded, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, I have the qualifications to lead graduate students of both the directing department and the acting department. You come to our school to take the graduate exam, The Department of Directing and the Department of Acting take the exam together, as long as you have passed the cultural courses of both majors, I will be your graduate tutor for both majors at the same time. At that time, you will be a dual-degree master in the Department of Directing and the Department of Acting!"

"Wow~" Surprised exclamations rang out from Xiao Yao's surroundings. These voices came not only from Sun Tingting and Lin Qisan, but also from the students sitting next to them.

Both Sun Zhihao and Shen Hongshu are famous teachers of Yandian Academy of Performing Arts. When they walked to the seats of the student group, it was impossible not to attract the attention of the students. Many students greeted them both along the way. The quality and arrogance of the film school students are extraordinary, even if Xiao Yao in the auditorium was discovered by these two people, no one came to bother him. But the students didn't come to disturb, but it didn't prevent the students next to Xiao Yao's group to listen to their conversation curiously.

Getting into graduate school is hard. In addition to the basic requirement of passing the cultural courses, whether you can go to graduate school depends mainly on the tutor you choose, and the initiative is not entirely in the hands of the students. Generally speaking, many of the postgraduate students who are admitted to the tutor are undergraduate students who are familiar with the tutor and have a relationship with the tutor. Therefore, it is usually easier to be in the same school, but it is more difficult to cross schools.

It is difficult to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and it is even more difficult to take the postgraduate entrance examination across schools, and it is even more difficult to take the dual-degree postgraduate entrance examination across schools. The most difficult thing was to let Shen Hongshu, a vice president and professor-level figure who could lead doctoral students, lead master students, and he was a double-degree master student.

This Shen Hongshu hadn't come out to lead students for many years. This time, not only did I fall in love with a student from another school, but I wanted to take a master's degree for a student from another school, and I also wanted to bring him two majors at the same time, so that he could study for a dual-degree master's degree in directing and acting. But it's definitely not something any star can do just by being famous.

Hearing this news, one can imagine the surprise and envy in the hearts of the students of Yandian's school next to them, so it's no wonder they couldn't help but exclaim.

Although the people around him cast envious glances, Xiao Yao was not too excited about Shen Hongshu's proposal, but rather hesitant.

For Xiao Yao, the cultural class written test is definitely not a problem, and Shen Hongshu offered to let Xiao Yao go to his graduate school, so the interview should not be a problem. What Xiao Yao hesitated was not whether he could pass the exam, but whether he should take the exam.

A master's degree is quite impressive. There are fewer graduate students in art colleges than in ordinary colleges, let alone double-degree master students, and graduate school is an experience that Xiao Yao has never experienced in his previous life. This proposal does make Xiao Yao's heart beat.

But Xiao Yao has a lot of plans at present. In addition to leaving for the United States to shoot the parkour movie, Xiao Yao also plans to go to the casino to gamble with a few former Mathematical Olympiad training team teammates who are currently in mit, and wants to make related movies later. Before graduating next year, I will prepare to establish a film and television production company, and I will start filming TV dramas before and after graduation.

Xiao Yao would have some concerns if these plans would be affected too much because of his graduate studies. After all, graduate school is just experience, and a degree is just a decoration on the resume. Xiao Yao doesn't think it is something he must complete.

Therefore, Xiao Yao did not immediately agree, but tentatively discussed with Shen Hongshu whether he could have some autonomy in the specific courses and study time arrangements in the future if he really studied under him. To put it simply, it is whether Shen Hongshu can make time for him.

In school, students have always used the tutor's time, and I have never heard of the tutor being used to the student's time, let alone a person who hasn't even taken the exam at all, and it is not certain whether he will pass the exam or not. Students, are they bargaining with their future tutors before the exam? Although Xiao Yao's language was more tactful, showing respect for Shen Hongshu, many students who heard Xiao Yao's meaning, including Lin Qisan and others, rolled their eyes in their hearts.

However, to the surprise of many students, not only was Shen Hongshu not dissatisfied at all, but he discussed the future courses and study schedule with Xiao Yao there. The meaning inside and outside the words is that he really promised to make up for Xiao Yao's time!
