Two weeks later, in the afternoon, Zhang Ran walked out of Anzhen Hospital with his suitcase.

Zhang Ran's relationship has not yet been transferred to Nortel, and he can't be regarded as a Nortel person, and he was injured by a fall, so he can't be regarded as a work-related injury, so he can only bear his own medical expenses. After so many days of treatment in a municipal hospital, the hospitalization fee and miscellaneous medicine expenses were really an astronomical amount, and the nurse at the counter spent more than ten minutes just calculating, emptying out all the money he had saved in the United States.

It's been hard work for several years, and I fell back to before liberation!

Fortunately, Zhang Ran completely integrated the memories of Nortel Zhang Ran, and this memory seemed to have become something he had experienced in his life, as long as he thought about it, the memories naturally appeared in his heart, and they were all very clear.

These days, Zhang Ran has also thought clearly about his path, and he still wants to make movies.

Of course, this is difficult, it is now 2001, the lowest point of Chinese films, and at this time Chinese films have not yet entered the era of commercial films. At the end of 2002, Zhang Yimou's "Hero" was born, and the curtain of Chinese film commercialization will be opened. Except for a handful of directors such as Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, most of the movies are losing money, and there are very few people who are willing to invest in making movies.

In this case, the possibility of a new director getting investment is almost zero, and the first film of a domestic new director is basically self-funded. Jia Zhangke's "Little Mountain Goes Home" was the money that Jia Zhangke and his photography team pooled together; Ning Hao's "Incense" smashed all the money he earned from filming commercials; and Li Yang mortgaged his family's house in order to shoot "Blind Mountain".

In fact, this is not only the case in China, but also in the whole world, if you are not a famous newcomer, why should others believe you. The regenerate is not a god, and it is impossible to lie down on the ground and live day by day!

Compared to this, entering Nortel is really the best choice. Nortel has two huge advantages, first, a huge network, the entire film and television circle, from film production, to film distribution, every link has Nortel people, it is no exaggeration to say, Nortel occupies half of the Chinese film, become a Nortel teacher to master a huge network; second, Nortel has its own film factory - Youth Film Studio, the purpose of the establishment of the Youth Film Studio is to give students the opportunity to teach practice, to give teachers the opportunity to practice. As a teacher at Nortel, Zhang Ran naturally has the opportunity to make films, which is much easier than going outside to attract investment.

The sun overhead spewed poisonous flames, roasting people's scalps with a scorched smell. Zhang Ran suddenly remembered the situation when he graduated from the drama in 06 and came to the capital to wander, it was also August, and the sun was so poisonous, at that time Zhang Ran was full of hope and felt that there were infinite possibilities, and finally he was sent to hell because of Feng Xiaogang's words.

But this time is different, Zhang Ran is no longer an ignorant teenager who is just starting out, he has memories of the next 14 years, he has the knowledge of two lifetimes, and he believes that he will fail if he does not this time!

Zhang Ran took a deep breath, the scorching air almost burned the lobes of his lungs, he raised his hand and beckoned a taxi and sat down.

"Go to Peking Film Academy!"

This time, Zhang Ran was very careful when he went upstairs, for fear that the tragedy would happen again, but smart people would not fall twice in the same place, so he successfully came to the dean's office of the School of Acting and met Professor Chen Jianfeng, the dean of the School of Performance.

Chen Jianfeng is in his fifties, not tall, with a thin face, but his eyes are bright, as if he can see the bottom of people's hearts.

He raised his hand and pointed to the chair opposite him, and said with a smile: "Come, sit down, how is your physical condition, have you completely recovered? If you don't get well, don't be in a hurry to be discharged from the hospital, your body is the capital of the revolution, and you can't be sloppy!"

"Thank you, Dean!" Zhang Ran sat down on the chair opposite Chen Jianfeng, with a helpless expression, "I have recovered a long time ago, if it wasn't for the hospital's observation for a few days, I would have been discharged from the hospital long ago!"

Chen Jianfeng bowed slightly: "Regarding your work, the party committee of the academy has held a meeting to discuss, you are responsible for the teaching of the performance class of the 01 undergraduate class, and serve as the class teacher, do you have any ideas for such an arrangement." ”

Zhang Ran frowned, the head teacher and acting teacher, he had less time to do other things, but he still nodded: "Thank you for the school's trust in me, I will definitely do my job well, but I have no experience in teaching, so I am afraid of making mistakes that I shouldn't make." ”

Chen Jianfeng seemed to see through Zhang Ran's thoughts, and said earnestly: "It doesn't matter if you have no experience, all teachers come over like this, the key is to treat students with heart and sincerity." I've seen your abilities, believe in yourself!"

Speaking of this, he paused, looked at Zhang Ran and said solemnly: "Zhang Ran, you were recruited by me, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you, so you must not relax yourself in your work, you must be conscientious and teach students well!"

"Dean, don't worry, since I chose to come to Nortel as a teacher, I am ready to teach and educate people!" Zhang Ran felt that Chen Jianfeng's words were reminding him, and replied with great certainty.

Chen Jianfeng nodded: "To be honest, in terms of performance, our Nortel is lagging behind Chinese opera, and new things are brought in by Chinese opera." In the early 80s, Zhou Caiqin went to Chinese opera to take classes and brought back expressionist things from the UK, and in the past two years, Jiang Ruoyu returned to Chinese opera to teach and brought back methodist things. As for our Nortel, we have been following in the footsteps of Chinese opera! Whether others can accept it or not, as the dean of the acting school, I can't accept it! I hope that we Nortel can come up with our own things and explore a path that belongs to our Nortel!"

Zhang Ran immediately felt the pressure, he entered Nortel because of Nortel's connections and resources, and hoped to start his film road as soon as possible with the help of Nortel's platform. Of course, he is also ready to be a teacher and plans to teach students well, but now Chen Jianfeng not only has to teach by himself, but also explores the way for Nortel's performance, he feels a little pressured, and said with a wry smile: "Dean, you are putting a burden on me!"

Chen Jianfeng said with a smile: "Young people, just to add to the burden, to break forward, an old man like me is powerless even if he wants to." Don't be afraid of making mistakes, don't be afraid of failure, there is no one who does not make mistakes in teaching and research, and the school supports exploration and innovation!"

What else can Zhang Ran say, he can only hold his head high and say: "I will apply what I have learned abroad to teaching, do my best to teach students well, and strive to make achievements in theoretical research!"

Chen Jianfeng was very satisfied with Zhang Ran's answer, and took out a key and a teacher's special meal card from the drawer: "You just came back from abroad and have no place to live, so you live in the school's single dormitory, this is the key." This is the meal card of the school cafeteria, you can charge the money to enter, our school canteen is not bad! In the past two days, you should clean up well, and the equipment that should be added should be added. If you have any difficulties in life, you can report to the school, and the school will help you solve it!"

"Thank you, Dean Chen, I don't know if my partner is in school, if I have time, I want to meet with them and communicate with them as soon as possible, so that there will be no mistakes after the start of school. Zhang Ran took the key and meal card, put it away, and said.

Chen Jianfeng's eyes were full of praise when he looked at Zhang Ran, many people who returned from studying abroad were arrogant and arrogant, and they couldn't handle the relationship with their colleagues well, and Zhang Ran knew how to communicate with colleagues as soon as he came, which was beneficial to his work: "The school has arranged two teaching assistants for you, one is a graduate student who graduated from school last year, and the other is a graduate student, I called them over, you get to know each other." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the phone on his desk and dialed it: "Zhou Zheng, come to my office, and call Li Xinyue over by the way." ”

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jianfeng introduced Nortel's teaching to Zhang Ran.

Nortel's acting classes have traditionally been completed by one teacher with two teaching assistants, and when taking acting classes, the main teacher stands in the middle, and the students are lined up on both sides, the main teacher is responsible for speaking, and the two teaching assistants are responsible for correcting the students' performances. Famous teachers don't even give lectures directly, they only focus on the general direction and make teaching plans, and the rest is done by teaching assistants.

Many people know that Huang Lei is Nortel's teacher and wants to give acting lessons to students, but he has to shoot a lot of TV series every year, and the time is obviously conflicting. Many people think it's strange that Huang Lei is filming all day long, can students learn well?

In fact, the reason is here, Huang Lei is only responsible for formulating the teaching progress on a regular basis, and giving teaching tasks and standards to the teaching assistants, and the real teaching content is completed by the teaching assistants most of the time, so Huang Lei has enough time to film.

Chen Jianfeng didn't say a few words, and the door was knocked open.

The man was twenty-four or five years old, not particularly handsome, but clean, bright, and looked very literary, which was the type that female literary youth liked; the female was twenty-two or three years old, very pretty, with a tall figure, and the combination of white shirt and black trousers made the whole person heroic and very capable.

Zhang Ran knew that his teaching assistant was coming, stood up, and said with a smile: "My name is Zhang Ran, and I am a newcomer who just arrived at Nortel this year, please take care of me." ”

Seeing that Zhang Ran was very modest, Chen Jianfeng nodded secretly in his heart, and introduced with a smile: "Let me introduce to you, Zhang Ran, a master's degree from the University of California, Los Angeles, is a new young talent introduced by our college this year, he is responsible for the performance class of the 01 undergraduate class, and the two of you are his teaching assistants." ”

Hearing that Zhang Ran graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles with a master's degree, the two were taken aback.

Now Chinese people want to go abroad, many stars have become foreigners, UCLA film graduates, basically stay in the United States, it is too rare to return to China, and Nortel rarely brings in teachers from outside, even if they go abroad and come back, they are sent out by Nortel itself.

Chen Jianfeng introduced the two to Zhang Ran. The man's name is Zhou Zheng, a graduate student led by Chen Jianfeng, and his undergraduate is from the Film and Television School of Sichuan Normal University. The woman's name is Li Xinyue, a graduate of the 96-level undergraduate class, and Huang Xiaoming and Zhao Wei are classmates.

After Zhang Ran and the others got to know each other, Chen Jianfeng said: "Zhang Ran just came back from abroad and doesn't know much about the situation in our school, so you have to help him more." He lives in a bachelor dormitory, and he may not find a place, so you can take him to settle down!"

"Dean, leave it to us!" Li Xinyue smiled, then looked at Zhang Ran and said enthusiastically, "Teacher Zhang, let's go!"

"Dean, then let's go first!" Zhang Ran said to Chen Jianfeng, walked out of the office with his two partners, and walked towards the teacher's single dormitory.
