Chapter 17 Zhu Xinzhuang

"It's worthy of the capital, this railway station is also too big, too beautiful, much more beautiful than our Chang'an Railway Station!" Liu Lin looked around and let out an unbelievable exclamation after getting off the train.

"Okay, don't sigh, let's go quickly!" Xu Wangqiu carried the cover roll on his back, the box in his right hand, and the nylon net bag in his left hand, and walked with Gu Changwei and them along the mighty flow of people to the exit of the station.

Xu Wangqiu and Wu Zhiliu set off from Rongcheng together, and after the train arrived in Chang'an, they found Liu Lin and Gu Changwei and got on the train together. The five of them played cards and chatted all the way, and before they knew it, they arrived at Beiping City.

In the square in front of the railway station, all universities in Peking have reception desks for new students, Peking University, Tsinghua University, and Renmin University. Xu Wangqiu found Nortel's sign in the corner of the square. Nortel has only 4 majors and 6 classes, and this year it enrolled a total of 160 students. Due to the scarcity of people, the Nortel reception area was very deserted.

Next to the sign of the director's department stood a beautiful girl in a white shirt and sky blue skirt, constantly looking at the crowd. Xu Wangqiu was slightly stunned after seeing the girl's face clearly, walked over quickly, and asked, "Su Bai, why did you run away from our Nortel?"

Su Bai smiled and said: "I'm here to pick you up, last time your family celebrated your admission to college, your mother took my hand and said, Su Bai, our family is small in autumn and has never been far away, when you go to Beiping, please take care of him, do you think I can come and take a look?"

Xu Wangqiu felt a little emotion in his heart, mothers are like this, no matter how old the child is, in the eyes of his mother, he is a child, for fear that the child will be frozen and hungry, he smiled at Su Bai and said, "Thank you, it's really troublesome for you." ”

Liu Lin and the others saw that Su Bai was very beautiful, and they were very kind to Xu Wangqiu, and they admired it very much, Wangqiu This guy is really amazing, not only does he know a lot, but he is also popular with girls, and there is such a beautiful girl who came to pick him up!

Gu Changwei coughed and reminded: "Wangqiu, who is this? ”

When Xu Wangqiu heard this, he said solemnly: "Let's introduce you to a grand introduction, this is my senior sister Comrade Su Bai, a talented girl from the 77th grade of the Chinese Department of Peking University, the school flower of Peking University, and the people who want to pursue her in Peking University are lined up from Houhai all the way to the princess's grave." Su Bai glared at Xu Wangqiu: "It's nonsense again!" Xu Wangqiu laughed and continued to introduce: "This is Wu Zhiliu, it's from Jiazhou, this is Liu Lin, this is Gu Changwei, this is Zhang Yimou, and the three of them are all from Chang'an." ”

Su Bai smiled at Liu Lin and them: "Hello." I've heard Wangqiu say that you are his good friends. Wangqiu is relatively young, and no one has ever lived in other places, so please take care of it in the future. ”

Zhang Yimou didn't know much about Xu Wangqiu, so he didn't think anything of it; Liu Lin and the others felt funny in their hearts, Wangqiu was a guy who was better than a monkey, and he still needed us to take care of him? But a beautiful girl like Su Bai trusted, how could she refuse, and they all nodded flatteredly: "Wangqiu is our good buddy, as long as we are here, we will definitely not let others bully him." ”

Xu Wangqiu was speechless and looked at the sky, I need them to take care of me?

Su Bai smiled and thanked Liu Lin and them: "Thank you." ”

Liu Lin and the others were infected by Su Bai's smile, there was a feeling of sunshine and spring blossoms, and they were both envious and jealous in their hearts, thinking that it was good to have such a senior sister, why couldn't I meet such a gentle and beautiful senior sister?

Zhang Yimou is the eldest of all, 28 years old, and is married, looking at Su Bai's heartfelt smile, he thought to himself that this girl thanked everyone for Xu Wangqiu, it seems that she really cares about Xu Wangqiu.

Xu Wangqiu originally planned to get to know the directing department and classmates from other departments, after all, movies can't be made by one person, and he hopes to be able to pull up his team after entering the film academy. But Su Bai was here, he definitely couldn't throw Su Bai aside, so he and Su Bai stood behind the sign of the director department and chatted.

Su Bai told Xu Wangqiu: "I inadvertently told you that you are the author of "Mom Loves Me Again", and our people in the Chinese Literature Club know about it, and they may come to you." Xu Wangqiu looked indifferent: "Girls come to welcome, but boys will not be accepted." Su Bai knew that Xu Wangqiu was joking, but he still couldn't help but scold: "Dengzi!"

Xu Wangqiu and Su Bai were chatting, and Liu Lin was embarrassed to be a light bulb, so they ran back and forth to greet the students from the director department and other departments. After a while, Liu Lin and the others brought five Chang'an fellow villagers over, Zhao Fei, Hou Yong, Zhilei, Wang Xiaolie from the Photography Department, and Zhang Tielin from the Performance Department.

Liu Lin told Xu Wangqiu that all the students who were there now were students from other places, and that local students from Beiping had not come; he also told Xu Wangqiu the very regrettable news that students from other departments were studying in Zhu Xinzhuang on the outskirts of the city, while the performance department was camped in Xiaoxi Tian'an, which was in the city.

Hearing the news, Su Bai looked at Xu Wangqiu and gloated: "Aren't you particularly disappointed?" Xu Wangqiu sighed deeply: "It's not disappointment, it's just despair." I'm here for the acting department, it's really a godsend!" Su Bai was defeated by Xu Wangqiu's shamelessness: "The school is just to prevent a disciple like you!"

After waiting for about an hour, Nortel's school bus came, and Xu Wangqiu and they got on the bus together.

The school bus went quietly along the street of Beiping, and Liu Lin shouted out the window, looking very excited. Xu Wangqiu also looked out the window to see what Beiping City looked like in 1978. The streets of Beiping are wider than those in Rongcheng, and there are more cars than in Rongcheng, and in addition to trams, you can see Jeep, Volga, and Modu cars from time to time. Since it is not the rush hour for commuting, there are not many vehicles on the street, and the street appears particularly empty, with a quiet and unpretentious aesthetic.

The car goes all the way to the north, Deshengmen, Madian, Qijiahuozi, and then north to the North Beach, Qinghe, Xisanqi, Huilongguan, Erpaozi, and then to Zhuxinzhuang. After a long stretch of road, the school gate is right in front of you.

In the mid-50s, the Beiping Film Academy was established in 1950 in Shilaoniang Hutong, Dongcheng District, Beiping, and in the mid-50s, the academy moved to Xiaoxitian, Xinjiekou Outer Street, HD District, which was later the location of the China Film Archive and China Film Group.

At that time, Taizu pointed out: Isn't it an absurd and ridiculous thing for the Agricultural University to be set up in the city? Therefore, in 1969, all the teachers and students of the Peiping Agricultural and Labor University were sent to the counties on the outskirts of the city to work in agriculture and teach. The walls of a huge campus are empty, and the doors are locked, leaving only a small group of left-behind people to guard the buildings that sit on the fields.

In 1970, Jiang Qing wanted to set up an art university like Yan'an Lu Xun Art Institute to provide reserve strength for her "model group". It was decided to concentrate the teaching of music, opera, dance, and film, and to learn both art and labor, and the name was "Central Wuqi Art University". Under the introduction of her subordinates, she drove to the suburbs of Beijing, selected the school building of the College of Agriculture, and ordered a large-scale construction of the original building layout, converted into a dance rehearsal hall and performance classroom, and built more than a dozen new single piano rooms next to the orchard, preparing for the conservatory to move the piano from the city. Two film studios were also built for film school students to intern. As a result, four art academies, the Central Conservatory of Music, the Beiping Dance Academy, the Beiping Opera School and the Beiping Film Academy, were ordered to relocate and come to Zhu Xinzhuang to run a school.

It's a pity that Beiping in the 70s was not the border area of Yan'an in the 40s, and in this manor far from the city, students from music, opera and dance schools couldn't stay a day. These children, intoxicated by Jiang Qing's sweet dream of "model opera", how can they stand the bitterness of spring and autumn on the silent field. As a result, Jiang Qing's cronies Yu Huiyong, Qian Haoliang, and Liu Qingtang complained one after another and asked to move back to the city. Their request was quickly approved, and the music, dance, and opera academies each returned to their original sites in the city, leaving the Beiping Film Academy alone, and sticking to the cold kiln here.

The gate of the Peking Film Academy, sitting north to south, hangs the six words of "Beiping Film Academy" written by the teacher with a brush, among them, the word "shadow" is a shorthand style, composed of a "well" character and three apostrophes, the sign is very small, has been yellowed, hung at the gate, there is no decorative effect, only the meaning of the prompt. Nortel's campus has no walls, it is all barbed wire, and it looks like a concentration camp. At the end of the barbed wire fence are the gates, two dilapidated gates. Once you pass through the gate, the narrow lanes are lined with grass, and the school building is no exception, a picture of disrepair that is the perfect place for a horror movie.

Most of the freshmen have a good imagination of the university, and they imagine that as soon as they enter the gate, there will be a wide, straight avenue facing the teaching building, which is a particularly magnificent teaching building, like a shopping mall in the center of the city, and the campus is green and full of flowers. They never dreamed that the university of their dreams would be such a dilapidated and old place. Their beautiful imagination of the university burst like a soap bubble at this moment.

Liu Lin, who was stumbled by Nortel's barren reality, muttered: "This is too broken!"

Gu Changwei couldn't help but say, "It's really a bit broken!"

Wu Zhiliu and Zhang Yimou were not born well, and it is a great blessing to be able to go to Taixue, how can they dislike the school. Zhang Yimou didn't speak, while Wu Zhiliu said with satisfaction: "I think it's good, it's far away from the city, it's a quiet place to study." ”

Xu Wangqiu is also very open: "The school is broken, but what does it matter, we are here to study, not to enjoy, and there are farmland and trees around, at least the air quality is good." ”

A female teacher in her forties came over and asked, "Is there a directing department?"

Xu Wangqiu raised his hand and said, "We are from the director department!" Xu Wangqiu said to Gu Changwei and Zhang Yimou, squeezed out of the crowd of people who got off the car, carried their luggage, and followed the female teacher to the teaching building.

Led by the female teacher, Xu Wangqiu and the others walked into an office with a sign of the director department. There was a male teacher in his forties sitting inside, and he told Xu Wangqiu with a smile that his name was Situ Zhaodun, and he was the teacher of the directing department and the head teacher of class 78 of the directing department. Teacher Situ took Xu Wangqiu's notice, handed Xu Wangqiu a small stack of meal tickets and meal tickets, ticked Xu Wangqiu's name, and the report was completed.

Xu Wangqiu and Su Bai stood at the door, waiting for Liu Lin and them to come out, and then walked to the dormitory building together. Nortel student dormitory is a four-storey old-fashioned teaching building, the upper floor is actually a relatively large classroom, the first floor is part of the single dormitory and management office of some faculty members, students are concentrated in the second, third and fourth floors of the dormitory building, the second floor is all female dormitories, and the third and fourth floors are the male dormitories of the director, photography, art, and recording departments.

Xu Wangqiu and the others went up to the third floor, walked down the aisle, and soon arrived at bedroom 303. At the moment of pushing the door of the dormitory, Xu Wangqiu hesitated, after all, he would live here in the next four years.
