Entertaining Children

   Chapter 490

"Yes, your school is about to start. I forgot if you don't tell me." Yin Xi said in a daze. "Then in the next few days, do you have to wait until get out of class is over before you can come over? Are you busy running like this? "

"I'm too busy." Xiao Yao shook his head, "In addition to guiding the layout and construction of the conference venue, I also need to prepare the pictures needed for the conference. I also plan to write a few songs for the background music at the conference. In addition to writing I’m still looking for singers and bands to record songs. Just a few days and so many things, I definitely don’t have time to go to school, so I plan to ask the teacher for leave after signing up today." University is not like In high school, Xiao Yao no longer had the obsession of not wanting to ask for leave.

   "Ask leave on the first day of school? Is it appropriate? Will your teacher approve it?" Yin Xi said worriedly.

  "I have to ask if it is appropriate." Xiao Yao smiled, "Besides, I have to go to France after a while, and I have to ask for leave. I have to ask for both morning and evening, so I can just ask for it together."

  At this time, the sound of someone moving suddenly sounded downstairs, and there should be someone coming to work in the office area below. Since Xiao Yao did not close the office door after he went out to wash his face and came back, it was a quiet morning with few people, so the three people in the office could hear the sounds of the office area downstairs.

   "Huh? Why is my blanket gone? Ada, do you know who took it?" A girl's voice came into Xiao Yao's office.

   "I don't know, I walked with you last night, where did I know!" another girl replied.

   Xiao Yao picked up the blanket on the sofa, smiled and said to Yin Xi, "This blanket, please help me return the property to the original owner."

   "Minyi, let's go!" As he said, Xiao Yao put the blanket in his hand into Yin Xi's arms, greeted Pei Minyi, and was about to leave.

   "Hey, why do you want me to pay it back if you took other people's things?" Yin Xi said dissatisfied.

  "The designers under your hand, are you more familiar with it." Xiao Yao said confidently.

  "Is this also the reason?" Yin Xi stared.

Xiao Yao, who had already left the office, waved back without looking back, and left with Pei Minyi.

  As usual, Xiao Yao didn't let Pei Minyi drive the car into the school, and got out of the car at the gate, letting Pei Minyi go back first.

  Back to school, Xiao Yao did not rush to the office to find the teacher to report, but went back to the dormitory first. After staying up all night, he was going to take a shower and change his clothes.

   "Xiao Yao, did you come back early? Where did you go when you didn't return home last night?" As soon as he entered the bedroom, Xiao Yao was pulled by Qin Hao and asked.

   "Yes, I didn't see any person for the whole day and one night. Did you do something good?" Xu Liang also raised his brows and asked with an ambiguous smile.

   School started today, Qin Hao and Xu Liang, Xiao Yao’s roommates, also returned to school yesterday, but one arrived in the morning and the other in the afternoon. After arriving in the dormitory, they all found that Xiao Yao had come back earlier than them from the sanitary condition of the dormitory and the state of Xiao Yao's bed. After they got up in the morning, they found Xiao Yao hadn't returned all night. Now that they saw him, they naturally cared about it.

   "I said I wrote planning and writing in the office last night, do you believe it?" Xiao Yao smiled.

   "Writing a planning book?" Qin Hao asked strangely, "Which company did you go to work as a clerk? Which company has such a big face can let you, a big star, go to work? And let you work overtime all night?"

   "My own company." Xiao Yao continued to laugh.

  "Your own company? Have you started a company? In Shencheng?" Xu Liang also shouted.

"I didn't start it either. I made a fashion brand together with others, and put it under the banner of someone else's studio. There will be a press conference next week. I am the person in charge, so I wrote a planning book myself." Xiao Yao said .

  "This is just a freshman. You already have your own personal brand. This person is really incomparable with this person." Xu Liang sighed. Nowadays, it is nothing new for celebrities to be their own personal fashion brands, and the two of them will understand what is going on.

   "You compare with him?" Qin Hao patted Xu Liang on the shoulder, and comforted, "How many seniors and sisters who have graduated from our school for several years are not as famous as before he enrolled? What are you comparing to him?"

"That's what I said." Xu Liang nodded, and after clearing up his mood, he turned to Xiao Yao and said, "Your brand conference should be the kind of fashion conference with model catwalks? Are there many celebrities there will be there? Can we go see it too?"

"There are indeed fashion shows, and stars from the fashion and showbiz circles will be invited to the show." Xiao Yao nodded, and then said, "If you want to go, I can help you get two general admission tickets to be a spectator. , But I will be very busy then, I can’t accompany you, you...especially Xu Liang, you have to promise me not to run around then, especially around the backstage and celebrity guests, don’t run around randomly!"

   "No problem," Xu Liang promised immediately, "We are from the Department of Acting in Shenxi, and we will enter the entertainment industry as an actor and star after graduation. There is still such a little arrogance."

   "He is probably not interested in stars, but the backstage is not easy to say." Qin Hao smiled and opened Xu Liang's channel, "but don't worry, I will help you look at him, not let him shame you!"

  "Don't you want to go to the backstage where the models are staying? Who will be looking at whom?" Xu Liang retorted.

"Also, try to keep this matter secret for me as much as possible." Xiao Yao said, "Don't make all the students in the department know in advance. I don't have so many audience tickets to get all the forty-eight people in our department. ."

  Excluding the invited celebrity guests, the average audience on the scene will be less than two hundred people. It is certainly impossible to make a quarter of the scene as their own classmates.

"Don't worry, we must keep it secret." Qin Hao said, "If someone else knows and you don't have a ticket, you can take it out, maybe someone will come to us to grab it! I don't dare to say to others, Grid can definitely do this Things come."

   "That's right," Xu Liang also nodded again and again, "Gege is sure to be able to do this!"

   "Okay, that's it, I'll get the tickets back for you when I come back in the evening." Xiao Yao said.

  Half an hour later, Xiao Yao, who had taken a bath and changed clothes, went to complete the reporting procedures, and went to the head teacher, Mr. Cui, to ask for leave.

   "Ask for leave on the first day of school?" Teacher Cui said noncommittal after hearing Xiao Yao's intentions, "How long should I ask for it?"

   "Well... there is no class today. It will be six consecutive days starting from tomorrow. By the way, it also includes two days of weekends, so it should be regarded as four days off." Xiao Yao said.

  In the university, the leave for students is relatively liberal, and for acting students, Shen Opera does not prohibit students from taking long vacations to film during the school. Taking Xiao Yao's grades last semester, it's fine to just take a four-day vacation.

But before Mr. Cui could respond, Xiao Yao continued, "After taking these four days off, I will come back for two days of class, and then take another week or so off. I can’t figure out the exact days. ."

   "What are you doing?" Teacher Cui asked strangely, "I will be absent for a week at the beginning of school, then come to class for two days, and then be absent for another week or so. How about playing?"

"The previous week was because I was preparing for a new brand fashion conference." Xiao Yao explained, "I am the person in charge of the conference and the planner. I have to participate in various preparatory activities in the early stage, so I asked for leave. "

  "Brand conference? You learn to perform. I know you are still a singer and photographer, but you spend a week planning a brand conference for others? Are you changing your career?"

"It's not for others, but for myself." Xiao Yao said, "It is a common brand created by me and others. Of course, you must be careful about your own brand. I am not satisfied with the conference plan given by the planning company, so I will do it myself. Up."

  "Your own? This will have your own personal brand. Congratulations." Teacher Cui smiled. This is a common occurrence in the entertainment industry, and Mr. Cui has no opinion on this, and is even happy to see the success of the students' personal brands.

   "Thank you teacher." Xiao Yao said, "Then it's fake?"

   "It's time." Teacher Cui said, "But it's only a week. What's going on in the next week?"

   "The next week's vacation is because I am going to France in mid-March." Xiao Yao said.

  "Going to France? What's the matter? Don't tell me it's going to travel. I want to travel and wait for the holidays." Teacher Cui said.

"Of course not to travel." Xiao Yao said, "I made a short film during the summer vacation and sent it to the Clermont Ferrand International Short Film Festival to participate. Now I have been notified that my short film has been shortlisted internationally. For the competition unit, I have to go to Clermont Ferrand to participate in the film festival."

   "Clermont Ferrand? "Short film Cannes"?" Teacher Cui was a little surprised, "Which director did you shoot the short film, and which director did you go with?"

  “Short Film Cannes” is not Cannes after all. The Clermont Ferrand International Short Film Festival still has a big gap in popularity with Cannes. As far as China is concerned, the red carpet show in Cannes has been broadcast live on CCTV's film channel since seven or eight years ago, and CCTV will also send a special interview team to Cannes for interviews and reports. Various related news reports will also be flooded with entertainment news on various TV stations and related entertainment media.

  The Clermont Ferrand International Short Film Festival, known as the "short film Cannes", has only a few text reports published in professional film magazines and the media, and this has to be the case when the director of China has won the award. Let alone TV news, these text reports rarely even have pictures.

  But Clermont Ferrand is a film festival called "Short Film Cannes" after all. Although it is not well-known among ordinary people, its artistry still has a high status in the eyes of professionals.

  As an actor, Ye Jiaying knows the "short film Cannes", and Ms. Cui, who is engaged in acting teaching, of course also knows. "Short Film Cannes" is also awarded, but because the overall length of the short film is short, there are no performance awards and technical awards. The awards set are for the short film as a whole, so the honor is generally won by the director.

Because the artistry of this film festival is too high, considering Xiao Yao’s age, occupation and family status, Mr. Cui subconsciously thinks that Xiao Yao’s "making" a short film refers to participating in a film directed by a certain director. The short film was taken by the director to Clermont Ferrand to increase his knowledge.

   "It's not a short film by any director. I wrote, directed and acted by myself." Xiao Yao said, "This short film award does not have performance awards or technical awards, so I am going to go alone."

  "Do you write, direct, and act by yourself?" Teacher Cui was really surprised at this time, and asked confirmingly, "You directed it alone? Didn't you collaborate with others?"

   "Yes." Xiao Yao nodded and said, "There must be someone in the self-directing and self-acting scene to help me call the start and click, but he is not even the executive director. The work of the director is done by me alone."

  Strictly speaking, Xiao Chengru's work on site is acting as a guidance consultant, and all decisions are made by Xiao Yao. Xiao Chengru is indeed not an executive director, let alone a co-director.

"Do you know? If any of our students from the Department of Directors of the Shen Opera can make a short film that is shortlisted for the Clermont Ferrand International Short Film Festival, regardless of whether they win a prize or not, they can take it. This short film applied to the school for early graduation as a graduation project, and it is very likely that the school will actually send him the graduation certificate and degree certificate in advance." Teacher Cui said.

   "There is still such a thing." This time, Xiao Yao said in surprise.

   "Hmm!" Teacher Cui nodded, looking at Xiao Yao with complicated eyes, "Do you want to transfer to the director department? I remember when you said in the art exam that you actually wanted to take the director department."

   "Uh..." Xiao Yao said embarrassingly, "I did say it. But the director department did not recruit students last year. I have already entered the acting department, and now I don't want to change departments."

   "Yes, you can graduate from the Directing Department at this level and get a degree certificate from the Directing Department. There is really no need to transfer to the department." Teacher Cui said.

"Teacher Cui, I am now a student in the Department of Acting. As an actor, I can't graduate shortlisted for the Clermont Ferrand International Short Film Festival early. What will be my next holiday?" Xiao Yao asked Cui again. The teacher said.

"Since it's going to "Short Film Cannes", this vacation is of course correct. Please allow as long as possible." Teacher Cui laughed, "It's best to get an award in one go, and our acting department can also show off in front of the director department. "
