Chapter 30: Long Live Teacher Zhang
Crystal Club is a membership-only club that provides multi-functional living and leisure spaces such as dining, meetings, fitness, indoor swimming pools, and wave pools. Because of the good privacy, many entrepreneurs arrange many important private meetings and business exchanges here.
Chen Zhenghong chose here, took some effort, went to an ordinary place, couldn't show his sincerity, and went to a top club like the Beijing Club was too eye-catching.
Zhang Ran and the others took the Iveco of the crew back to school, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and waited until five o'clock when they took Iveco to the Crystal Stone Hall.
Chen Zhenghong specially said hello, and as soon as the car arrived downstairs, the doorman used the walkie-talkie to notify the inside. There were two rows of tall welcome ladies standing at the door, and when they saw Zhang Ran and them coming in, they all bowed and welcomed them.
Accompanied by the welcome lady, Zhang Ran and the others walked into the Crystal Stone Hall. The hall is spacious and gorgeous, the white marble floor is bright enough to be used as a mirror, and the huge crystal chandelier above the head radiates a brilliant light, plating the entire hall with a layer of luxurious atmosphere.
The students in the class reacted differently, Huang Shengyi and Zhao Ke were more informed, always maintaining a faint smile on their faces, and their demeanor was natural and generous, while Zhang Xinyi, a student from an ordinary background, was more curious, looking east and west, and exclaiming from time to time.
When he came to the Paris Hall, Zhang Ran pushed open the door of the private room and saw that Chen Zhenghong was already sitting inside, with a smile on his face, and greeted: "Mr. Chen, I've kept you waiting!"
"I also just arrived on the front foot, not long before you!" Chen Zhenghong stood up with a smile, brought Zhang Ran a cup of tea, and said enthusiastically, "Teacher Zhang, the jasmine tea here tastes good, you can taste it!"
Zhang Wei took the cup with both hands and said very politely: "How can I let you pour water, I'll come by myself!"
Wait for the students to sit down and order the food. Chen Zheng glanced at Zhang Ran, then at Huang Shengyi and the three injured girls, and said solemnly: "Our company is recently preparing a TV series, directed by your teacher Zhang Jiandong from Nortel, there are just a few female characters in the TV series, if you can, I hope the three of you can participate in the performance at that time, which can be regarded as my apology to you." ”
When the students in the class heard Chen Zhenghong say this, they were all a little envious, and Huang Shengyi's eyes were even brighter.
In the past two years, Zhang Jiandong's TV series have been particularly popular, "The True Colors of the Criminal Police", "Let Love Be the Master", and "Don't Talk to Strangers" are a hit, and if you participate in his new drama, you may attract attention.
Without waiting for the three girls to answer, Zhang Ran waved his hand: "Thank you Mr. Chen for your kindness, I told the students in the class on the first day of school that they are not allowed to take the drama in the first year, and they must study in school honestly, even Zhang Yimou's film is not allowed to take it, so they definitely can't borrow the play." ”
When the three girls heard Zhang Ran say this, they were a little disappointed and looked at Zhang Ran faintly, but they didn't complain, knowing that Zhang Ran was doing it for their good.
Chen Zhenghong was a little incomprehensible: "Why? It's good to let students take on more dramas, they can not only get exercise, but also show their faces on the screen, if they are lucky, maybe they will become popular!"
Zhang Ran shook his head and said: "The first year of learning to perform is particularly important, the first year is to lay the foundation, just like building a house, if the foundation is not solid, even if you build a high-rise building, it will collapse." It's the same for actors, if the basic skills are not solid, I can't grasp the opportunity to put it in front of me, so I can't let them go out to take on the play!"
Chen Zhenghong also understood the truth of this, but he felt strange: "Then why did you bring them out to be extras?"
Zhang Ran explained: "Let them be extras not to let them act, but to let them experience life and let them know the cruelty of this industry." After graduating from Nortel's students, there are only a few who can engage in acting, and even fewer can become popular, and most of them are forced to change careers without acting. In the next few years, with the development of the domestic film and television entertainment industry, Taiwanese actors will come in, talent stars will come in, and the competition will become bigger and bigger. If they have excellent acting skills, then they will have an extra capital in the future competition!"
Chen Zhenghong felt strange at the beginning, how could the students of Nortel's acting department run to the crew to play tricks. Even if you are short of money, you can still be a cover girl for magazines and shoot advertisements, all of which are thousands of yuan, and the better ones can be tens of thousands; no matter how bad they are, they can go to the bar to sing and dance, sing a song for two or three hundred, and earn more than 1,000 a night.
Now Chen Zhenghong finally understood, and said with admiration: "You are a responsible and good teacher, these students are blessed to meet you, maybe they can't understand you now, but they will definitely thank you in the future!"
Jia Nuliang immediately said: "Who said we can't understand? Of course we understand Teacher Zhang!"
Others followed suit: "yes, we've learned a lot in the past two days!"
"That's it, Mr. Zhang is good to us!"
Chen Zheng laughed and said, "It seems that Teacher Zhang has a high prestige among the students, and they are very protective of you!"
"Of course, this is our Teacher Zhang!"
"That's right, Teacher Zhang is so good to us, we don't defend him, who will defend him!"
The wine and food were quickly served, and Chen Zhenghong, as today's host, took the lead in holding the cup: "Today we all don't know each other, this is a kind of fate, for this fate, everyone will do this cup!"
said that he raised his neck and did it, and the students in the class saw that Chen Zhenghong did it, and they were not ambiguous, and they raised their necks and did it. Zhang Ran was naturally no exception, and followed with a drink.
After the first cup, everyone ate the vegetables.
After eating a few bites of food, Chen Zhenghong looked at Zhang Ran as if he remembered something, and asked, "By the way, Mr. Zhang heard that you graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles, majoring in directing?"
Zhang Ran estimated that this was what Zhang Jiandong said, but he didn't understand why Chen Zhenghong asked this, and said lightly: "Yes, I studied acting as an undergraduate, and later I saw it through, Chinese actors in the United States really have no future, so I changed to directing, but it is also very difficult for Chinese directors to make a career in the United States, so they came back!"
Chen Zhenghong nodded and said: "It's right to come back, no matter how good it is abroad, it is also a place for others, and no matter how broken it is in China, it is also our home." But why don't you come back to a film studio, or a film company?"
Zhang Ran shook his head with a smile and said: "The domestic film studio model is too old, and the seniority is serious according to seniority, and it is too difficult for newcomers to get opportunities." As for the film company, there is no good film company in China now, besides, I am not famous, I have no works, and people don't look down on me!"
Chen Zhenghong nodded and said: "Now that the film market has fallen to the bottom, I can't see any hope, but the TV drama market is relatively prosperous, and there are seven or eight thousand episodes of TV series filmed every year.
Zhang Ran doesn't have much interest in TV series, and many people who make movies can't watch TV series, but the other party is also kind, and he can't refute other people's face: "This year is the first year for students, this year is very important, my energy must be spent on them, and filming is definitely not good." However, there will definitely be opportunities to cooperate in the future. ”
Chen Zhenghong saw Zhang Ran say this, and said with a smile: "Then we will make a decision!"
After waving goodbye to Chen Zhenghong, Iveco sent Zhang Ran and them to the school gate.
At night, the campus is very quiet, with tree-lined roads, and the rustling of footsteps can be heard under the street lamps. The street lamps are yellow, and countless insects flutter around them, and in the middle of the trees, there are lovers hugging each other in the corners.
Jia Niliang was envious, jealous and hateful, coughed vigorously at the couple who hugged each other, and then shouted in a suppressed voice: "Classmate, the campus picket is here, run!"
Many universities have campus pickets, which are dedicated to beating mandarin ducks in the name of maintaining a civilized campus environment. However, Nortel, as an art academy, is not so wide, and there is no picket, so Jia Niliang was suddenly scolded by the couples: "Neurotic!"
Talking and laughing, I went downstairs to the girls' dormitory. Zhang Ran looked at the girls in the class and said, "That's all for today, you go back early to rest, and start class tomorrow!"
"Teacher Zhang, it's still early, go to our dormitory and sit down!" Zhang Xinyi tilted her head, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said with a smile.
"That's right, Mr. Zhang, go up and sit down!"
"Go up and sit down!"
It's hot and it's night, so it's a great time to go up. The boys in the class all had green eyes, and they wished that the girls were inviting them. Jia Nanliang wasted no time in saying, "Teacher Zhang, I'll accompany you up!"
When the other boys heard this, they all thought it was a good idea, and they all responded: "Teacher Zhang, I'll accompany you on a trip!"
"Teacher Zhang, Jia Niliang is too obscene, take him up to affect your glorious image, or I'll accompany you up!"
"I'm decent, take me up!"
"Go, go, Teacher Zhang can be with us, where are you boys staying cool!" The girls immediately glared at them when they saw that the boys in the class wanted to blend into the girls' dormitory.
Zhang Ran thought to himself that this is an extraordinary time, if he goes up and sees something in his thighs that is easy to be harmonized, he shook his head and said: "Don't mess around, what does a male teacher of mine look like when he runs to the girls' dormitory at night, go back early!"
Seeing that Zhang Ran refused to go up, Zhang Xinyi and the others took their resentment out on Jia Niliang, surrounded him in the middle and pinched him violently, so painful that Jia Niliang shouted for help.
"Teacher Zhang, thank you today!" Huang Shengyi stroked his hair that was blown by the evening breeze, and his bright eyes were full of gratitude.
"Don't be so polite with me, you are my students, as a teacher, you must not let others bully you! Actually, I am very happy today, although our classmates usually have a little friction, but when it comes to the critical moment, there is no ambiguity at all, and a collective should be like this!" Zhang Ran said with a smile.
Huang Shengyi glanced at Zhang Xinyi, smiled and nodded.
The students in the class nodded secretly, and the unprecedented unity of the classmates in the class today made them feel the power of the collective.
"Long live 01 Cousin!" shouted someone in the crowd.
"Long live Teacher Zhang!" Jia Niliang lost no time in slapping Zhang Ran's ass.
"Long live Teacher Zhang!" shouted the others.
(Thank you for the afterthought!Reward, ask for collection, ask for recommendation!)
