Chapter 64: Leave of absence
In the imperial capital in October, the weather turned cooler.
The French plane trees on both sides of the lake avenue are different from the leafy branches in midsummer, dyed with layers of red and yellow.
Shen Weiwei got off the train at the station, sniffed the crisp air, and a cool breath entered the tip of her nose.
She wrapped herself in a long red trench coat and walked into the theater hall.
Hou Yong took the script, looked up and saw her appear at the door of the rehearsal hall, and beckoned:
"Vivi, let me introduce you. ”
He pointed to the woman with her back to Shen Weiwei, "This is Sun Yi." He said to Sun Yi again, "This is Shen Weiwei, the two of you will first work on the script and start rehearsing the first scene in the afternoon." ”
Shen Weiwei stretched out her hand politely: "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"Hello. Sun Yi smiled back, "I've seen your performance, it's very exciting, you are still young, you can have such an acting talent, and the future is limitless." ”
Sun Yi is a very beautiful woman, with delicate and three-dimensional facial features and a red mole on the side of her nose. The lack of collagen on her face shows her age of nearly thirty, but the tight skin and the calmness between her eyebrows show her intellectual beauty.
Sun Yi was born in the Dance Academy, she was a smash hit five or six years ago, and at the age of twenty-three, she won the Bauhinia Award for her film debut "The Wind Is So Close, So Far Away", and was praised by the circle inside and outside the circle as the most star-studded female artist.
It's a pity that at the peak of her career, she announced her retirement, and in the next few years, it was rumored several times that she had already married into a wealthy family, but she seemed to have disappeared.
Unexpectedly, Hou Yong actually invited Sun Yi, but he was generous.
Listening to her words, Shen Weiwei smiled and said modestly:
"Thank you Sister Sun Yi for your recognition, but I am still far behind you, you are a senior in the circle, and you will need to take care of it in the future. ”
She spoke beautifully and decently, her expression was far more stable and calm than her peers, Sun Yi nodded secretly, and her heart was much stronger than when she was a teenager.
In the entertainment industry, beauty and acting talent are important, but the heart is the key to whether you can go in the long run.
When she was young, she didn't know how to behave in the world, and after becoming famous, she offended many insiders, so much so that she won the actress award, and she also faced the embarrassing situation of powerless resources.
Under the words of the people around her, she announced her retirement in a fit of anger, and by the time she wanted to make a comeback, there was no place for her in the entertainment industry.
Therefore, when Hou Yong found her, she did not hesitate to respond.
Compared with Bai Su who has a shelf, the cooperation between Shen Weiwei and Sun Yi seems to be much more harmonious, she hates the understanding of the role, and at the same time points out a few words to Shen Weiwei with the experience of people who have come over, which makes her quite teachable.
However, Shen Weiwei has rehearsed countless performances of the song and dance drama "Old Shadows of the Years", and there are more than a dozen formal performances, so she naturally has more stage experience than Sun Yi.
She accompanied Sun Yi to the stage for a audition, and the cooperation between the two was very high, and Hou Yong was full of praise on the side:
"If you two can keep it this way until the official performance, it will definitely surprise all the audience like never before. ”
The real actors are mutual achievements, not competing on the stage, Hou Yong was very satisfied with their first cooperation performance, and finally had a comfortable smile on his face that had been frowning for days.
During the holidays, Shen Weiwei almost spent her time in the theater rehearsing.
At the end of the rehearsal on the last day, Hou Yong stopped her:
"Your film school is in trouble with taking leave, if you can't figure it out, just call me, I'll tell you. ”
Shen Weiwei smiled: "Okay." ”
"You want to take a leave of absence?"
The office is brightly lit, shared by three counselors, and a few lush greenery are placed on the lap folders on the desks to add greenery to the space.
The counselor in front of the computer screen raised her head, her name was Zhang Li, and she was the counselor of the first and second classes of the acting department.
Zhang Li frowned when she heard Shen Weiwei say that she wanted to ask for leave, the film academy clearly stipulated that you can't film during your freshman year, and you can't ask for leave at will.
But there are always students who treat the rules and regulations as child's play, and they are impetuous, delusional and want to become famous overnight.
"You have a lot of acting in the department, and you're a student, so you have to finish your studies first. The school hasn't always allowed you to go out to film, but you're only a freshman, and you don't understand what acting is, and if you go out, you'll only smash the school signboard. When you graduate, there are so many opportunities for filming, there is no need to waste your studies because of this. ”
Zhang Li persuaded her earnestly, her voice was very soft, and it was easy to say it into people's hearts.
Shen Weiwei looked at her and said seriously: "Teacher Zhang, I asked for leave not to go to the crew to film, but to perform at the National Center for the Performing Arts, and this performance started during my summer vacation." And I'm not taking a long vacation, the theater shows every Monday, Wednesday, Saturday, and I only take these three days off a week. I'll make up for my homework the next day, and I won't be unable to keep up. ”
Zhang Li nodded her chin and changed her words: "You said you performed at the National Center for the Performing Arts, what kind of play are you performing?"
It is directed by Hou Yong's "Old Shadows", a song and dance drama. ”
Zhang Li was a little surprised, and nodded in a deep voice: "I know, it's really rare for you to have this opportunity, but the most important thing at the moment is your studies, and you don't seem to be taking a long vacation, but if you take a leave like this for a long time, your studies are still delayed." In this case, I will ask the leaders of the hospital first, if the leaders agree, I will naturally have nothing to say. ”
Shen Weiwei was stunned for a moment, but Hou Yong was still prescient.
Just as I was trying to find an excuse to call, someone came in in with high heels.
When she looked back, she was a well-dressed woman, with short linen hair and rimless glasses on the bridge of her nose, looking rather shrewd.
Zeng Jiayi glanced at Shen Weiwei several times as soon as she entered the door, her eyes behind the glasses lit up, but her face showed no clues, and she walked straight to Zhang Li.
"Teacher Zhang, I have to trouble you again this time. Ye Ling can't get out of the crew, there is something wrong with the crew, she will have to return to school in half a month, please approve a leave here. After Ye Ling finished filming this drama, I immediately asked her to go back to school. ”
Zhang Li's face was a little unsightly, and she turned to Shen Weiwei and said, "You go back to class first! I will talk to the leaders of the hospital later, and it will be up to the school leaders when the time comes." ”
Shen Weiwei understood what she meant, and it was okay if the school leaders didn't agree to it.
She parked in the hallway on the other floor of her office and dialed Hou Yong's mobile phone number.
"Director Hou, do you have to talk to the leaders of the hospital first?"
Hou Yong smiled indifferently: "It's okay, I'll tell your counselor." ”
She glanced into the office and said in a low voice:
"That's okay, Director Hou, wait a minute. ”
A moment later, Zeng Jiayi passed by her, her gaze stopped on her for a few seconds, and after a while, her footsteps walked away.
Shen Weiwei went in with her mobile phone and smiled at Zhang Li:
"Teacher Zhang, Director Hou wants to tell you in person. ”
Zhang Li glanced at her, stretched out her hand to take the phone, and said in her heart, could Shen Weiwei still play any important role in the troupe?
