Chapter 21 The beginning of school

September 18, 1978 was the official opening day of the Peking Film Academy, which was later named one of the 100 most exciting moments in the history of 20th-century cinema by the Film Handbook. But at this time, except for Xu Wangqiu, who knew this, the other students present didn't know anything about it, they were no different from ordinary college students, their faces were full of curiosity and excitement.

Since this is the resumption of enrollment after the closure of Nortel for ten years, not only the school attaches great importance to it, but also the film industry attaches great importance to it. Not only the deputy director of the Film Bureau of the Ministry of Culture/Ministry and leaders of relevant departments were present, but also Zhong Xianfei, Zhang Junxiang and other seniors and experts also came to support the show.

In the large cafeteria of the Zhu Xinzhuang school building, all the freshmen sat on the Maza, looking at the guests on the stage, and also at the surrounding students, many of the boys were secretly looking at the girls in the acting department. Most of them met the students of the acting department for the first time, because the acting department is different from other departments, and their study and life are in Xiaoxitian, not Zhu Xinzhuang.

Nortel's performance department has enrolled 32 students this year, of which only 10 are women, which can be described as one in a thousand. Most of these girls are from theater troupes or dance troupes, and their image and temperament are very good. There is a big difference from the girls at Nortel forty years later, these girls don't look alike, everyone has their own characteristics, and it's easy to distinguish. It's not like the Internet celebrity face of Yishui forty years later, it looks very similar and feels like a mother.

The most eye-catching among the girls is undoubtedly Fang Shu, who is 1.72 meters tall, tall figure, beautiful and atmospheric face, and big watery eyes, it is really difficult for people to associate her with the thin and weak little radish head in "Eternal Life in the Fire". Xu Wangqiu heard several boys sigh: "I always thought that the little radish head was a boy, but I didn't expect it to be so good-looking when I grew up." ”

Another girl who particularly attracted attention was Liu Jia, many boys whispered when they saw Liu Jia: "Hey, that's 1 Mao 4 uh!", "It's really 1 Mao 4 yes!", ...... Liu Jia starred in the popular movie "Black Triangle" last year, she played Yu Qiulan who not only looks plump, but also has a scene of walking by the river in a swimsuit, which has attracted countless young people to squirt nosebleeds. The audience said that Liu Jia was "one dime four", which means that the movie ticket price is one dime and five dime, and one dime and four are for Liu Jia.

While the boys were looking at the girls in the acting department, the girls in each department were also secretly observing the boys in the acting department. Of course, girls are very shy and shy, and they don't look blatantly like boys, they all glance secretly and quickly lower their heads;

The most attractive thing for girls is undoubtedly Zhou Lijin, this guy is cool and handsome. He is 23 years old, exceeding the age limit of 22 required by the acting department, but because of his good appearance, he was admitted to the school exceptionally. In the decades-long history of Nortel's performance department, only two students have received full marks in the art examination, one is Zhou Lijin, and the other is Liu Yunlong, the star of "Secret Calculation".

Zhang Tielin is also a boy who is targeted at more by girls, although Zhang Tielin is famous for his exaggerated performance and obscenity forty years later, but at this time he is really a little fresh meat, the bridge of the nose is high, white and tender, a typical little white face look, in terms of appearance, can beat a lot of so-called small fresh meat after forty years.

Liu Lin stretched out his head and asked in a low voice, "Wangqiu, which girl in the acting department do you think is the best-looking?"

"That one is called Qiu Suyun. Xu Wangqiu stretched out his hand and pointed to a girl in the corner of the performance department.

The girl was clean and delicate, her eyes were clear, and her temperament was cold, but her lips were a little thick, which made her look a little sexy. On the whole, she gives people the impression of being pure and sexy. For the profession of an actor, she is very malleable, she can be pure or sexy. Of course, in this era of talking about sexual perversion, no one will praise girls with sexiness, which is simply not praise but insult. In this era, praising a girl for being sexy is almost the same as saying that a girl is coquettish.

Liu Lin couldn't help but doubt Xu Wangqiu's aesthetics, and said in a low voice: "I think she is average, or Fang Shu is the best-looking, really good-looking! If there are fairies in the world, I think it should be like this!"

Xu Wangqiu saw Liu Lin's nymphomaniac appearance, and felt funny in his heart, but he didn't expect Liu Lin to be a big guy and three coarse, and he was still a lover. However, he did not agree with Liu Lin's evaluation of Qiu Suyun, in his opinion, Qiu Suyun was no worse than Fang Shu, and his temperament was better. Of course, this may be due to the emotional bonus, after all, Qiu Suyun was the goddess in his heart when he was a teenager.

Unlike many post-80s generations, the goddess in Xu Wangqiu's heart is not Wang Zuxian, Qiu Shuzhen or the like in Xiangjiang, but an actor Qiu Suyun who has not been heard of by many post-80s. After graduating from Nortel, Qiu Suyun only acted in dramas for four or five years, and in the mid-eighties, he went abroad with Gong Xue and other actors.

Xu Wangqiu knew that Qiu Suyun was after 2000, when Xu Wangqiu was in his second year of junior high school. One night he watched the Golden Years column of the movie channel, which played a movie starring Qiu Suyun. The movie about college campus life left a deep impression on Xu Wangqiu, and his first reaction after watching the movie was, wow, the university turned out to be like this. The female college student played by Qiu Suyun is not only extremely beautiful, but also fascinated by Xu Wangqiu's perseverance.

That night, Xu Wangqiu dreamed of Qiu Suyun, and it happened a lot in the dream, so much so that when he woke up, he found that his underwear was wet. Since then, Wang Zuxian and Guan Zhilin are all scum in Xu Wangqiu's eyes, and there is only one goddess, Qiu Suyun.

For Xu Wangqiu today, it was just a beautiful dream of his youth, and now he can only smile when he thinks about it, and he can't make any ripples. As an adult who has experienced all kinds of reality, as an old man who has been in the film industry for many years, the creature of the goddess has long ceased to exist, let alone think about any entanglement with the so-called goddess.

The opening ceremony of Nortel in 1978 was not much different from later generations, mainly because of the speeches of school leaders and the speeches of the guests. Of course, there are also differences, such as conveying the spirit of the Central Committee, especially the spirit of the speeches of Chairman Hua and Vice Chairman Li. For example, the leaders and guests who spoke were very sincere and passionate, unlike the later official words and clichΓ©s.

At present, Nortel does not have a president and vice president, only a special leading group, and there are two leaders of the leading group, one is Wang Lanxi, deputy director/director of culture/ministry, and the other is Lu Meng. Wang Lanxi is part-time, and Lu Meng is in charge of school management. When Lu Meng spoke, he said half-truthfully: "You are not allowed to fall in love during school, let alone get married, otherwise when you graduate, you will be divided into one to the south and the other to the north, so that you peacocks will fly north and south." ”

Laughter filled the audience like a raindrop, and none of the students took it to heart. They are all young people in their twenties, and it is the best time in their lives, and it is obviously impossible not to fall in love.

Human nature cannot be suppressed, and beautiful flowers can bloom even in the cracks of stones.

Xu Wangqiu heard a voice shouting, "Students, we have asked the deputy leader Zhou Ming to speak!"

I didn't expect Master's old friend Zhou Ming to be the deputy team leader, equivalent to the vice president! Xu Wangqiu smiled, my master really didn't admit it in vain, not only did I know the head of the directing department, but also I was friends with the vice president, so I don't have to worry about my life at Nortel in the future!

As a film school, it naturally has the characteristics of a film school. After the opening ceremony, the school showed a movie for all teachers and students, the North Korean movie "Rooted in the Earth". The standard of this movie is really not very good, but the school chose this film obviously with a meaning, and I hope that students can be down-to-earth and take root in the land of Chinese film.

However, Xu Wangqiu failed to enjoy the movie, and after the opening ceremony, he was called out by Situ Zhaodun. Xu Wangqiu asked suspiciously: "Teacher Situ, is there something wrong?" Situ Zhaodun didn't explain, but just said, "You just come with me." Xu Wangqiu came to the office with Situ Zhaodun with a stomach full of doubts.

After Situ Zhaodun brought Xu Wangqiu into the office, he said to Zhong Xianfei, who was sitting on a chair and chatting with Zhang Ke: "Old Zhong, I called Xu Wangqiu. He said to Xu Wangqiu: "Wangqiu, this is Zhong Xinfei, our authority on Chinese film theory. ”

Xu Wangqiu read Zhong Xinfei's books and articles when he was a school at Nortel in his last life, and he was very impressed by the old man. Don't watch Chinese movies, there are many people who claim to be experts, but few people really understand movies, and Zhong Xinfei is one of the few people who really understand movies. Xu Wangqiu hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Hello Elder Zhong! I have read your book, but I didn't expect to meet you, what an honor!"

Zhong Xinfei looked at Xu Wangqiu, thinking that if Zhang Ke hadn't told me, it would have been really hard to believe that the article was written by this teenager, and said kindly: "Wangqiu, I read the video analysis you wrote when you took the Nortel exam, and it was very well written." However, because the article is too short and many things have not been explained thoroughly, I came to you just to talk to you and have an in-depth discussion with you. Let's start by talking about your views on current Chinese cinema. ”

Xu Wangqiu wrote the film analysis, which originally attracted the attention of the school teacher, but he did not expect to attract Zhong Xinfei, which surprised him very much, so he said: "World cinema has gradually moved from classicism to modernism since "Citizen Kane", and the film is no longer composed of simple conflicts in the classics, but infinitely complex individuals and people's inner worlds; In the 50s, the French New Wave carried out a comprehensive reform of the language of cinema, making cinema truly modern. That's why Truffaut said that the film was divided into pre-Godard and post-Godard. Our cinematic language is largely stuck in the classical period before Citizen Kane......"

Zhong Xianfei listened quietly, but he was extremely surprised in his heart, he was not particularly clear about the pattern of world cinema and the historical trend of world cinema, but Xu Wangqiu, a sixteen-year-old boy, could clearly say it, obviously he had in-depth research on the history of world cinema;

After a while, Zhong Xianfei finally couldn't help but ask, "Where did you know this?"

Xu Wangqiu had already thought about it and agreed, and said easily: "It's mainly foreign language bookstores, foreign language bookstores were closed down during the movement, and I went in and stole some film books, including George Sadur's "World Film History". After the Gang of Four was defeated in '76, the foreign bookstore reopened, and a lot of the latest materials were introduced, and I read "History of Film Art", as well as some other books. ”

Zhong Xinfei knew that many big cities in China had foreign bookstores, and it was not surprising that there were a large number of pirated foreign books and materials in these bookstores, and it was not surprising that there were books on movies. He didn't know foreign languages and hadn't read the books Xu Wangqiu said, but he felt that Xu Wangqiu could say the name of the book, which should be true, so he said, "You go on." ”
