Chapter 163: Leave of absence

"Yes, your school is about to open, and I forgot if you don't say it. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Yin Xi said suddenly, "Then do you have to wait until after class to come over in the next few days?

"It's too busy. Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "In addition to participating in and guiding the layout and construction of the conference venue, I also have to prepare the pictures needed for the conference." I also plan to write a few songs that were used as background music at the press conference. In addition to writing songs, I also have to find singers and bands to record. With so many things to do in just a few days, I definitely don't have time to go to school, so I plan to ask my teacher for leave after I register today. "College is not like high school, Xiao Yao has long been obsessed with not wanting to take leave.

"Is it appropriate to ask for leave on the first day of school?Will your teachers approve it?" Yin Xi said worriedly.

"You have to ask if it's suitable or not. Xiao Yao smiled, "Besides, I have to go to France in a while, and I have to ask for leave." You have to ask for it early and late, so you can just invite it together. ”

At this time, the sound of someone moving suddenly sounded downstairs, and someone should have come to work in the office area below. Because Xiao Yao didn't close the office door after he went out to wash his face and came back, it was a quiet morning when there were few people, so the sound in the office area downstairs could be heard clearly by the three people in the office.

"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, how do I know!" replied the other girl.

Xiao Yao picked up the blanket on the sofa and said to Yin Xi with a smile, "This blanket, please help me return it to its original owner." ”

"Minyi, let's go!" As he spoke, Xiao Yao stuffed the blanket in his hand into Yin Xi's arms, greeted Pei Minyi, and prepared to slip away.

"Hey, you took someone else's things, why do you want me to return them?" Yin Xi said dissatisfiedly.

"You're familiar with your designers. Xiao Yao said confidently.

"This is also the reason?" Yin Xi glared.

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

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

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

"Xiao Yao, you came back early, right?Where did you go last night?" As soon as he entered the bedroom, Xiao Yao was pulled by Qin Hao and asked.

"Yes, I didn't see anyone for a whole day and a night, did I do something good?" Xu Liang also raised his eyebrows and asked with an ambiguous smile.

Today, the school opened, and Qin Hao and Xu Liang, Xiao Yao's two roommates, also returned to school yesterday, but one arrived in the morning and the other in the afternoon. After arriving at the dormitory, they all found out that Xiao Yao had come back earlier than them from the hygiene situation in the dormitory and the state of Xiao Yao's bed. After the two of them got up in the morning, they found that Xiao Yao had not returned all night, and now that they saw him, they naturally cared.

"I said I spent the night writing a plan in the office last night, do you believe it?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Write a plan?" Qin Hao said strangely, "Which company did you go to work as a clerk? Which company has such a big face that can make 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, you opened a company, in Shencheng?" Xu Liang also shouted.

"I didn't open it, I got a fashion brand with someone else, and I hung it under someone else's studio, and there was a press conference next week, and I was in charge, so I wrote a plan myself. Xiao Yao said.

"It's only your freshman year, and you already have your own personal brand, and this person really can't be compared. Xu Liang sighed. Now it is not new for celebrities to make their own personal fashion brands, and the two will understand what is going on as soon as they hear it.

"How do you compare with him?" Qin Hao patted Xu Liang on the shoulder and comforted, "How many senior brothers and sisters who have graduated from our school for several years are not as famous as he was before he entered the school?

"That's right. Xu Liang nodded, cleaned up his mood and turned to Xiao Yao again, "Your brand show should be the kind of fashion show with models on the catwalk, right?

"There are indeed fashion shows, and stars from the fashion and entertainment circles will also be invited. Xiao Yao nodded, and continued, "If you want to go, I can help you get two general admission tickets to be an audience, but I will be very busy at that time and can't accompany you, you... Especially Xu Liang, you have to promise me not to run around when the time comes, especially backstage and celebrity guests, don't jump around!"

"No problem," Xu Liang immediately assured, "We are from the Shen Opera Performance Department, and we will also enter the entertainment industry as an actor and star after graduation in the future, so there is still such a little arrogance." ”

"He probably doesn't have any interest in celebrities, but it's hard to talk about backstage. Qin Hao smiled and dismantled Xu Liang's platform, "But don't worry, I will help you watch him and don't let him embarrass you!"

"Don't you want to go backstage where the models are staying?

"Also, try to keep this matter as secret as possible. Xiao Yao said, "Don't let the whole department know in advance." I don't have that many audience tickets, so I can get all 48 of us in the department. ”

Excluding the invited celebrity guests, the ordinary audience at the scene is less than 200 people, and it is definitely impossible to make a quarter of the scene their own classmates.

"Rest assured, we will keep it confidential. Qin Hao said, "If others know, and you don't have a ticket to take out, maybe someone will have to come and grab it from us! I don't dare to say anything else, Gege will definitely be able to do this kind of thing." ”

"That's right," Xu Liang nodded again and again, "Gege can do this!"

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

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

"Leave on the first day of school?" After listening to Xiao Yao's intentions, Teacher Cui said noncommittally, "How long will it take?"

"Hmm... There are no classes today, and there will be six consecutive days from tomorrow. By the way, it also includes two days on the weekend, so it should be considered four days off. Xiao Yao said.

In the university, the leave for students is relatively lenient, and for students in the acting department, Shenju does not prohibit students from taking long leave to film during school. Judging from Xiao Yao's grades last semester, it is no problem to just take four days off.

But before Teacher Cui could respond, Xiao Yao continued, "After taking these four days off, I will come back for two days of class, and then take a week or so of leave, and I can't be sure how many days it will take." ”

"What are you doing here?" Teacher Cui said strangely, "First miss a week at the beginning of school, then come to two days of class, and then miss for a week or so, what about playing?"

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

"Brand launch? You studied acting, I know you're still a singer and photographer, but you spend a week planning a brand launch for someone else? Are you going to change careers?"

"Not for others, but for myself. Xiao Yao said, "It is a co-brand that I co-founded with others." My own brand, of course, is to be more attentive, planning the company to give the press conference plan I was not satisfied, so I came by myself. ”

"Your own? It's got your own personal brand. Congratulations. Teacher Cui said with a smile. This is a common thing in the entertainment industry, and Mr. Cui has no opinion on this, and is even very happy to see the success of students' personal brands.

"Thank you, teacher. Xiao Yao said, "Then this is fake?"

"That's right. Teacher Cui said, "But it's only been a week, what's going on in the next week?"

"The rest of the week was because I was going to France in mid-March. Xiao Yao said.

"What's the matter with going to France? Don't tell me you're going to travel, you're going to travel and wait for the holidays. Teacher Cui said.

"Certainly 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 informed that my short film has been shortlisted for the International Competition and that I have to go to Clermont-Ferrand for the festival. ”

"Clermont Ferrand?" "Cannes Short Films?" Mr. Cui was a little surprised, "Which director's short film did you shoot, and which director did you go with?"

"Cannes for short films" is not Cannes after all, and there is still a big gap between the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival and Cannes in terms of popularity. In China alone, the red carpet show in Cannes has been broadcast live on CCTV's movie channel since seven or eight years ago, and CCTV will also send a special interview team to Cannes for interviews and reports. All kinds of related news reports will also be flooded with entertainment news and related entertainment media of various TV stations.

The Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival, known as the "Cannes of short films", has only a few written reports published in professional film magazines and media, and this is only when a Chinese director wins an award. Not to mention being on TV news, these text reports rarely even have pictures.

But Clermont Ferrand is, after all, a film festival known as the "Cannes of short films", although it is not well-known among the general public, but its artistry still has a high status in the eyes of professionals.

As an actor, Ye Jiaying knows "short film Cannes", and of course Mr. Cui, who is engaged in acting teaching, also knows it. "Short Film Cannes" also awards awards, but because the overall length of the short film is short, there are no acting awards and technical awards, and 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 thought that Xiao Yao's "shooting" of a short film meant participating in a short film directed by a certain director, and was brought to Clermont Ferrand by that director to increase his knowledge.

"It's not a director's short film, I wrote, directed and acted by myself. Xiao Yao said, "There are no acting awards and technical awards for this short film award, so I'm going to go alone." ”

"You wrote, directed, and acted by yourself?" Mr. Cui was really surprised, and asked with confirmation, "You directed it alone, and you didn't work with anyone?"

"Yes. Xiao Yao nodded and said, "There must be someone who directs and acts on the scene to help me shout start and click, but he is not even an executive director, and the work of directing is done by me alone." ”

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

"Do you know that if any of our directing students can make a short film that is shortlisted for the competition unit of the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival, regardless of whether they win an award or not, they can use that short film as a graduation work to apply to the school for early graduation, and the school is very likely to actually send him a graduation certificate and degree certificate in advance. Teacher Cui said.

"And that kind of thing. This time, Xiao Yao was surprised.

"Hmm!" Teacher Cui nodded, looked at Xiao Yao with complicated eyes, "Do you want to transfer to the directing department?" I remember that you said during the art exam that you actually wanted to take the directing department. ”

"Uh," Xiao Yao said with some embarrassment, "I did say that." However, the directing department did not recruit students last year, and I have already entered the acting department, and now I don't think much about changing departments. ”

"Also, you can graduate from the directing department at your level and get a degree certificate from the directing department, so there is really no need to change departments. Teacher Cui said.

"Mr. Cui, I am now a student of the acting department, and as an actor, can I graduate early in the shortlisted short films shortlisted for the Clermont Ferrand International Short Film Festival, so what will be my vacation in the following week?" Xiao Yao asked Mr. Cui again.

"Since it's going to "Short Film Cannes", of course, this vacation is also approved, and it will be as long as you want. Teacher Cui smiled, "It's best to come back with an award in one go, and our acting department can also show off in front of the director department." ”
