Chapter 497: It's Not Easy

"Lao Tian, Lao Tian ......"

Teaching Building, Faculty Office. A middle-aged man barged in, with a look of joy on his face, and shouted at the director of the acting department, "Have you heard, Zhou Mu is back." ”

"Huh?"

In the corner, there sat an old man in his fifties and sixties, with a thin body. He was holding a large enamel tea jar and drinking boiled water.

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, he was also a little surprised, "Which Zhou Mu?"

β€œ......”

The middle-aged man felt a little speechless, "Lao Tian, what are you pretending to be confused." Of course, it is the light of the rookie in our school, the signboard of advertising in the past two years, the actor and director......"

"Oh, got it. ”

The old man waved his hand, "Where did you get so many titles?" Remember, no matter how good he is, he is also a graduate of the school. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. ”

The middle-aged man nodded again and again, "That's right...... Without the careful guidance and training of the school's teachers, where did he come from today? ”

β€œ......”

The old man couldn't help but shake his head.

It's no wonder that the middle-aged man, after tossing outside the school for two years and being beaten, obediently came back to teach and educate people. Perhaps not only is the ability limited, but the emotional intelligence may also be insufficient.

Zhou Mu was trained by the school, right?

Be!

No matter who asked, the old man was firm and unsteady, giving this answer.

But he knew in his heart that during the four years in school, Zhou Mu basically studied acting, and he should not have any involvement in directing work. Even if he researched and paid attention to it privately, I didn't see him go to the directing department to ask for advice.

Therefore, Zhou Mu's directing talent was learned and comprehended by himself, and it should have little to do with the school.

It's a veritable genius.

Of course, the old man is not surprised. Because in the history of the school, there are always one or two geniuses like Zhou Mu.

The world is so big, and it is not uncommon for a few monsters to be born occasionally.

When the old man had drunk half a glass of water, he heard the commotion coming from outside the building, and he immediately got up and looked down.

I saw a low-key nanny car parked next to the teaching building.

The surging students wrapped the car in the middle.

The driver can't enter or retreat, which is embarrassing.

The old man smiled with satisfaction, "Even if he still has a conscience, he will return here for the first stop...... Xiao Li, you take a few people down to maintain order. ”

"Understood. ”

The middle-aged man is happy, he loves to do this.

At that moment, he ran out, took a few teachers, and quickly came downstairs, putting on a serious expression...... Berate!

The students of the acting department bowed their heads and retreated. But the school is so big, students from other faculties will not sell face to middle-aged people.

There were still a bunch of people gathered around.

Click!

Just then, the car door opened.

Under the gaze of everyone, one foot fell to the ground, then slender legs, followed by a tall posture, and a handsome smiling face.

It's a real hammer, it's really Zhou Mu.

The student next to him was excited.

Of course, they are not fans after all, and at the same time, there are some pride, reserved, and students who will not scream loudly in a faux puff.

But when Zhou Mu smiled and waved at them gently. Some people still can't help it, and their hearts are a little swaying.

There was a bold female student, and she said coquettishly: "Senior brother, can you give me an autograph?"

"I want a group photo!"

"Can I add a friend?"

The so-called inch by inch is talking about this situation.

The middle-aged man quickly stepped forward and blocked in front of Zhou Mu, and said with a straight face: "What are you doing, what are you doing, you don't understand the rules at all." Scattered, all scattered......"

No one listened to him.

The students gathered nearby, motionless.

There were many more people who came from all directions. After all, many students grew up listening to Zhou Mu's reputation...... Uh, for further education.

So when you see an "idol", it's not too much to ask for an autograph and a group photo.

As for adding friends...... It can only be said that the student who made this request either had ulterior motives or was naΓ―ve and innocent (stupid).

No matter how the middle-aged man reprimanded, a group of students did not move.

This made him feel that he had lost face and his face was pale.

At this moment, Zhou Mu smiled and said, "It's okay to take a group photo, if you sign it, there are too many people, I'm afraid you won't be able to sign it." ”

"Ten Bars......

He glanced around and had a warm attitude, "I'll give you ten autographs at random, and then take a group photo, what do you think?"

"Good ......"

A group of students, naturally, have no objections. After all, they also knew that if they had been surrounded under the teaching building, the school leaders would definitely intervene.

Therefore, it is wise to accept it when it is good.

As soon as Zhou Mu beckoned, Xiao Guan immediately took out ten signed photos in his leather bag and distributed them randomly.

Five men and five women, impartial.

And then......

Click!

The picture was taken.

Zhou Mu walked into the teaching building under the guidance of several teachers.

In an office, I met Director Tian.

"Teacher Tian!"

Zhou Mu bent down and called respectfully.

"Sit!"

The old man smiled and gently touched his hand.

Zhou Mu's voice as a teacher is not a generic name. In fact, in his junior and senior years, he led Zhou Mu's class.

Even after Zhou Mu graduated, he recommended the other party to the small theater. Naturally, during the New Year's holidays, he also received gifts from Zhou Mu.

This kind of teacher-student fate has never been broken. So even if Zhou Mu graduated for several years, the old man would not feel unfamiliar.

Zhou Mu also felt this way.

A glass of boiled water was placed in front of Zhou Mu's case. The old man smiled and asked, "How does it feel to revisit the old place?"

Yellowed porcelain cups, odorless white water. Zhou Mu didn't mind, took a sip of it, and said with a chuckle: "Junior brothers, junior sisters, very enthusiastic. ”

"Haha. ”

The old man smiled, "Enthusiasm is due, you are now a well-known big star in the industry, who doesn't want to hug your thighs? Not to mention that you, a big star, have an advantage that others don't have......"

"Director?" Zhou Mu smiled lightly.

"Not only as a director, but also as a director who likes to give opportunities to newcomers. ”

The old man sighed lightly, "In this industry, the competition is too fierce. Except for a few lucky ones, most students start with group performances after graduation...... As for the two or three years of crawling, I will have the opportunity to play some small roles. ”

"Hmm!"

Zhou Mu nodded lightly.

He was one of the lucky few.

"So...... Many people call themselves Maxima, just hoping that you, Bole, can give them a chance. The old man squinted and said, "It's a pity that you have made so many movies, but you have never returned to school for casting, which makes many people call you a 'white-eyed wolf'." ”

"Ahh

Zhou Mu was stunned and hurriedly explained, "Teacher Tian, I can ...... this."

"No need to explain. ”

The old man waved his hand, "You are the director, how to cast must have your own measurements, insulting and slandering you is nothing more than a dark-minded clown." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Tian. Zhou Mu must be in his heart.

All right.

He really was, never considered, casting in school. But I can't afford to be called a white-eyed wolf.

After chatting a few more words, the old man smiled and said, "You go back to school, is there anything going on?" The news said that the second part of "Super Body" has been completed, and during this time, you should be doing post-production work on the movie, how can you have time to come back and hang out?"

"Hmm. ”

Zhou Mu said calmly: "There is indeed something ...... something."

"A few days ago, a few people from the cultural department and the film bureau came to the door and wanted me to make a tribute film. ”

Zhou Mu's voice was a little lower, "I'm a little unsure about this matter, so I'll go back to school and inquire." ”

"Tribute?"

The old man frowned, and then stretched out again. He pondered for a moment before he spoke, "I may know about this." ”

He paused, as if hesitating.

Zhou Mu didn't urge, and waited quietly.

After a while, the old man continued: "But I heard that this gift film has an intention and will be handed over to Yang Fan for filming." ”

"Huh?"

Zhou Mu was stunned, "Is the great director Yang Fan?"

"It's him. ”

The old man's face was a little different, "So I'm not sure if the gift film you mentioned is the same thing as the gift film I know." ”

"That's probably it. Zhou Mu thought of Murphy's law, the more worried he was, the more likely it was that something would happen.

The old man stood up, "You wait, I'll make a call." ”

"I'm sorry to trouble Mr. Tian. Zhou Mu owed.

The old man waved his hand and walked out. It took about ten minutes before he walked back again, with a strange expression.

"Teacher ......"

Zhou Mu intuitively felt that this matter was not simple.

"As expected, it's the tribute film. ”

The old man said softly: "According to the original plan, it should be Yang Fan who takes over." But in the process, he disagreed with his superiors and voluntarily resigned as a director. ”

Yikes!

Zhou Mu heard it.

This is definitely a glorified statement.

If you click directly, it will collapse.

Maybe I didn't turn my face, but I definitely couldn't cooperate. Of course, with Yang Fan's identity and status, he also has the qualifications to be capricious.

What kind of blocking, banning, etc., won't happen to him.

However, it is imperative to change the director.

"Yang Fan. ”

Zhou Mu scratched his head, this is a frequent visitor to the MG Award.

The most important thing is that he is also a visiting professor at major art academies, not only in name, but also often to teach.

To say that he is full of peach and plum all over the world must be an exaggeration. But it is not uncommon for a dignified director to have more than a dozen apprentices and dozens of apprentices around him.

"So this film, I suggest you don't take it. ”

The old man reminded, "This film, if you change to another director, who is of similar status to him, he has nothing to say." But if, instead of you to direct. He may not speak, but his apprentices, they will definitely blow up. ”

"Okay, I won't take it. ”

Zhou Mu is as good as a stream, and he does not look young and vigorous.

"You ......"

The old man smiled, "The experience has come out." ”

"I'm not stupid. ”

Zhou Mu also smiled, "Anyway, I'm not interested in gift films or anything." There are too many rules and regulations, and it is not easy to play. ”

"Hmm. ”

The old man said softly: "Maybe that's why Yang Fan just talked to the boss." After all, I hope that the director is a tool man, just make the movie honestly, and there is no need to have any ego. But Yang Fan is notoriously fond of carrying private goods in movies. ”

"Neither side can convince anyone, so naturally they can't get along. ”

"That's how it should be. Zhou Mu thought so.

Settle the matter and start small talk.

Talk about Zhou Mu's experience over the years, and talk about movies one after another. Or, the old man commented on the movies on the market and lamented that there are more and more bad movies that make money.

When the conversation is hot.

The top of the school has also appeared.

expressed a warm welcome to Zhou Mu's return.

After that, it's time to go through the process. Visiting the school, by the way, in the auditorium of the university, began a lecture. During this period, Zhou Mu also donated a batch of books and equipment to the school.

The top management of the school is very satisfied.

After all the processes were completed, it was already evening. Zhou Mu politely refused the banquet of the school's senior management and left Beijing in a very low-key manner.

However, the news of his return to his alma mater also appeared on the hot search list.

The Internet is also quite lively, and some directors, artists, and stars from Beijing Film have come out one after another to forward this news.

There are at least thirty or forty names that can be named.

Some people know very well that this is just the tip of the iceberg in the vast network of 100-year-old Jingying. There are also some "obscure" people who are hidden in various industries.

Of course, in modern society, the school is not a gang organization, and there can be no such thing as an order and a cloud and a scene.

But also acknowledge the influence of networking.

Say.

The old man recommended a student to Zhou Mu, asked him to take a belt, arrange a small supporting role, and sharpen the other party.

Will Zhou Mu refuse what he can do? In the same way, most of the other people will agree to some excessive requests from the teacher.

This situation is like layers of cobwebs, entangled with each other. Not to mention outsiders, even the school's senior management itself can't sort out the relationship context.

Anyway, it can be determined that the more prestigious the school.

The more terrifying......

......

Ended his trip to his alma mater.

Zhou Mu returned to Guicheng and continued to bask in the sun in the hotel room. It's been busy for so long, it's rare to rest. Two more salted fish is the right reason.

He had just laid down when the phone rang.

As soon as he looked at the caller ID, he immediately rolled over and smiled......

β€œ...... You're back too?"

"Where?"

"Okay, I'll go. ”

"Fifteen minutes!"

As soon as the phone hung up, Zhou Mu asked Xiaoguan to prepare the car, he quickly changed his clothes, came to the hotel garage, and just happened to get in the car directly and set off.

"Where to go?" Xiao Guan acted as the driver.

"Dinghu Villa. ”

Zhou Mu waved his hand and closed his eyes, "Be quick!"

"Good!"

Xiao Guan rubbed his wrists and knuckles.

And then......

As soon as the engine sounded, the car hit the road briskly.

Ten minutes later, the car arrived at Dinghu Villa smoothly. The car door opened, and Zhou Mumai walked down, his steps a little vain.

After shaking for a while, he returned to normal, showed his card, and under the guidance of the staff, he came to the most private box in the villa.

Tuk Tuk!

Zhou Mu knocked and pushed the door in.

In a comfortable and warm room, Xu Qinglime was dressed in a casual floral dress, leaning on the sofa with an elegant posture, bored and flipping through a magazine. Seeing Zhou Mu come in, the corners of her mouth were smiling, and her moist eyes were shining.

"How is it, you're not late, are you?" Zhou Mu was a little proud.

Xu Qingling was disgusted, "Don't you know that driving fast can be dangerous?"

"It's okay, it's okay. As long as I'm fast enough, the 404 can't keep up with me. ”
