Central Academy of Drama.

Gong Li walked out of the door of the teaching building nervously, and Yin Dawei beside her comforted: "Don't worry, you played well today, and you will definitely be able to pass the exam." ”

In the era before Kang Jianfei crossed over, the application for Chinese opera was basically the winter vacation of the previous year, and before the college entrance examination, you could know whether there was a professional course in Chinese opera. But the current professional course exam is one or two months before the college entrance examination, and the college entrance examination at this time is also held in mid-July.

"I'm not worried about the professional class, I'm afraid that I won't be able to pass the college entrance examination next month." Gong Li said worriedly that she had been off the list for two consecutive years.

Yin Dawei said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not that you can't get a score in the cultural class, and you played very well in the professional class." ”

Gong Li smiled: "Thank you, Teacher Yin, for your teaching." ”

Yin Dawei is Gong Li's acting enlightenment teacher, and he is also Gong Li's first love boyfriend rumored in later generations, and he is in his early thirties and personable at this time.

Yin Dawei and Gong Li have been together for more than half a year, and they do have a good impression of each other, but they have not crossed the line for the time being, after all, Yin Dawei is married, and he also has a legitimate occupation - the director of the avant-garde song and dance troupe of the JN Military Region.

Gong Li was able to learn acting with Yin Dawei, and she also won it by herself, she failed the college entrance examination twice in a row (both times reported vocal music), and then reviewed while working. Last year, Gong Li was an aunt in the kindergarten of Shandong/Dong University, and happened to encounter the performance of the avant-garde song and dance troupe of the military region, so she dared to go to the head of the song and dance troupe, saying that she wanted to join the song and dance troupe to learn art.

Gong Li actually wanted to learn to sing, but the head of the troupe casually pointed to Yin Dawei, who was leading the party, and said that that person was very good at teaching students.

The head of the song and dance troupe was just unbearable and wanted to send Gong Li away casually, but Gong Li took it seriously. I quickly inquired about Yin Dawei's residence. went directly to the door to apprentice, visited the door three times in a row, and Gong Li's parents also went out twice, but they didn't kneel down for Yin Dawei.

Yin Dawei had no choice but to accept Gong Li as a student, but he didn't know vocal music himself, so he could only teach Gong Li how to perform.

When the two took the first class, Yin Dawei was because Gong Li was not standing well - his legs were crossed, and one of them was still shaking, and he whipped it without saying a word. Except that he is demanding. It didn't mean to let Gong Li retreat.

Gong Li was beaten inexplicably, so angry that she rushed out of the door at that time, but she came to class the next day, so Yin Dawei had no choice but to teach honestly. It didn't take long for him to find that Gong Li was very perceptive. The things taught learned quickly, and Yin Dawei really recognized this female disciple.

Some time ago, Gong Li came to Beijing alone with 300 yuan for the exam. The money was stolen as soon as I got out of the train station. I could only cry and call Yin Dawei for help. Yin Dawei was about to go to Beijing on a business trip, so he rushed to the capital in advance to send money to Gong Li for emergency relief, and by the way, he accompanied her to take the professional course.

Yin Dawei looked at his watch and said, "It's almost twelve o'clock, go to the canteen of the Chinese opera to have a meal first, and then buy a ticket to go back. South bar. ”

Gong Li followed Yin Dawei to the cafeteria. When the two were queuing, they listened to the Chinese opera students chattering:

"I heard that Kang Jianfei is coming to our school in the afternoon to give a speech."

"The Kang Jianfei who filmed "Brave Policewoman" and "Sword and Horseman"?"

"Who else but him?"

"It's really fake, but he's an international director."

"It's true, he was speaking at Nortel this morning. In the afternoon, it was our turn to play. ”

"Yes, yes, I also heard that he also participated in the Golden Rooster Award ceremony yesterday."

"This kind of important thing should be notified in advance, why didn't I see the notice?"

"It should have been decided on an ad hoc basis, and it was posted this morning, didn't you pay attention to it?"

"Where's the speech?"

"It's half past two, and it's in the Great Hall."

"Oh, let's finish eating and get a spot."

"You don't have classes in the afternoon, do you?"

"It doesn't matter if there is a class or not, such an important speech should not be missed."

“……”

From the students' discussions, Gong Li figured out the situation and asked Yin Dawei tentatively: "Teacher, why don't we also go and listen to the afternoon speech." ”

"Kang Jianfei's movie is indeed a good shot, listening to his lectures is good for you," Yin Dawei nodded and said, "But there is an event in the group tomorrow, and I have to go back tonight to prepare, so I won't accompany you to listen to the speech." ”

Gong Li felt a little embarrassed, but she wanted to miss Kang Jianfei's speech, and finally buried herself in eating, which was a tacit acquiescence to Yin Dawei's arrangement.

……

After lunch, Gong Li sent Yin Dawei to the school gate, and then ran to the auditorium to grab a seat by asking for directions, but before one o'clock, the seats in the auditorium had already been snatched up, and even the seat aisles were crowded with people.

Gong Li had to stand at the door and wait, for fear that if she took a step away, she would even be robbed of the position at the door. After waiting for more than an hour, I finally heard someone shouting, "It's coming, it's coming!" ”

The students around Gong Li stood on tiptoe to look over, and she hurriedly stood on tiptoe to look over, but unfortunately a tall man in front of her completely blocked her vision.

"Let the students give way, today we are fortunate to invite the internationally renowned director Kang Jianfeikang to give a lecture to everyone, please don't block the door of the students over there......" The school leader led the way in front, and the students got out of the way, and then looked at the man behind the leader curiously.

"It's really Kang Jianfei, who looks like Mike in "Brave Policewoman"."

"Hey, get out of the way, you're in my way."

"So young, it looks like he's in his twenties, is "Dao Ma Dan" really directed by him?"

"You don't watch the news? Others advanced their manuscript fees to make movies at the age of 18. ”

“……”

Due to the catastrophe of those ten years, the college students in these years are all older, and Xiang Zhang Yimou has only graduated from college for three years, but he is already in his thirties.

Among these Chinese opera students who watched from the road, many of them were older than Kang Jianfei, so they naturally couldn't help but sigh.

The vice principal took Kang Jianfei through the crowd, turned around and smiled apologetically: "Mr. Kang, you are famous, these students want to see you." ”

Kang Jianfei had already experienced it once when he was at Nortel in the morning, and he could only smile at this time: "I have already felt the enthusiasm of my classmates, and I am very honored to come to Chinese Opera to speak." ”

Just finished speaking. Suddenly, the crowd was crowded, and the front row was squeezed out of the back row, and several people rushed directly to Kang Jianfei and the vice principal.

Kang Jianfei barely withstood the squeeze, and also grabbed the vice principal who almost fell down. The vice principal leaned on his glasses and shouted, "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, everyone obey the order!" ”

At this time, there was no school police in the school, so it could only rely on some school workers to maintain the scene, pushing and shoving for a while before it quieted down.

"Yes, I'm sorry!" Gong Li apologized in a panic, and Kang Jianfei's shoes still had the shoe prints she stepped on at this time.

"It's okay." Kang Jianfei looked at the flustered pale face, suddenly found that it was extremely familiar, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Gong Li." After Gong Li finished speaking, she suddenly squatted down and took out a handkerchief to wipe the marks on the upper of Kang Jianfei's shoes.

In front of the public. Kang Jianfei wouldn't stand and let a girl shine his shoes, that would make him look very ungraceful.

"I'll do it." Kang Jianfei squatted down. snatched the handkerchief from Gong Li's hand. casually wiped his shoes and whispered, "The handkerchief is dirty, I'll take it back and wash it, and you can come to the Beijing Hotel 1908 tomorrow to find me." ”

Kang Jianfei had already followed the vice principal into the auditorium, and Gong Li was still standing there stupidly. Thinking about what Kang Jianfei had just said beside her.

Come to me tomorrow at 1908 Capital Hotel...... Come to me tomorrow at 1908 Capital Hotel...... You come to find me at 1908 Capital Hotel tomorrow!

Gong Li seems to be dreaming, that is the international director Kang Jianfei, since she decided to apply for the Chinese opera exam, she knows how powerful Kang Jianfei is.

Such a big celebrity. actually talked to her, a student who failed the college entrance examination, and asked herself to go to the Beijing Hotel to find him, Gong Li trembled with excitement.

Wait, how many are you in 190?

Gong Li suddenly found that she had forgotten her room number, and she was so excited and remorseful that she almost cried.

Kang Jianfei walked up to the podium and glanced at the dense students in the auditorium, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

There is a safe passage left in the middle of the seats, which is used for emergency escape, and now all of them are blocked by students, and in the event of an earthquake, fire and other accidents, at least half of them will not have time to escape and die in it.

But whether it is Nortel or the leaders of China Opera, they don't seem to take this seriously, and they can only say that the domestic security awareness is too poor now.

Kang Jianfei cleared his throat, held the microphone and said: "Hello everyone, I'm Kang Jianfei, I'm very happy to be standing here at this moment and communicating with everyone......"

Kang Jianfei's pretended humble opening remarks immediately won the favor of the students, and the windows and doors outside were crowded with people, straightening their heads to look inside, and even sitting outside could only listen to the sound and not see people.

"He speaks Mandarin so standardly, he can be an announcer."

"I heard that Mr. Kang is a mainlander, and he didn't have enough to eat and traveled from the SAR to Hong Kong, and of course his Mandarin is standard."

"There is a Cantonese/Dongdong student in our class, who speaks Mandarin unpleasantly to death, and the hens bleat all day long, acting like a professional farmer."

"So Director Kang is amazing, not only is the movie well-made, but even the Mandarin is so standard. And he is also very modest, you see that people don't say speeches, they say that they communicate together. ”

“……”

In the whispers of the students, Kang Jianfei continued: "Professional knowledge is taught by your teacher, so there is no need to ask too much about this, and I am also a halfway monk in film, and I am definitely not as good as your teacher when I talk about theory, so I will not mistake people's children." ”

"Hehehehe......" The students let out a burst of good-natured laughter, and they all regarded Kang Jianfei's words as modesty, how could they have thought that he was telling the truth.

"All of you here today have directors from the department, some from the acting department, and some from the screenwriting department, so I have to talk about a common topic today," Kang Jianfei crossed Erlang's legs and sat very casually, "Let's talk about dreams." ”

At this time, college students, even those in their 30s, who don't have dreams?

The 80s was an era of collective dreaming, and twenty years later, philosophy and poetry books that could not be sold were even in short supply at this time.

Kang Jianfei chose a very flattering topic for his speech, and he casually asked a girl in the front row: "This classmate, what is your dream?" ”

The female classmate stood up generously and said: "My dream is to become a famous star like Liu Xiaoqing and contribute to the literary and artistic cause of the motherland." ”

Kang Jianfei thought to himself, your idol was very tired last night. I don't know if I'll be able to get up for lunch at noon.

Throwing off the messy thoughts in his mind, Kang Jianfei asked another boy: "This classmate, what is your dream?" ”

The boy said, "My dream is to be a big director and make good movies that are classic and handed down to the world." ”

Kang Jianfei continued to ask a few more, then nodded and smiled: "Very good, it seems that everyone has people who pursue and have dreams." I also have dreams, and my dream was to eat white rice every day......"

At this, some of the students laughed, but the vast majority listened quietly.

Eating white rice every day was once a common dream of Chinese in this era.

"I think some of my classmates already know. I couldn't go on swimming to Hong Kong," Kang Jianfei ignored the vice principal's ugly face and continued, "I don't want everyone to learn from me to smuggle people, this is a criminal thing. If you don't pay attention to it, you will lose your head. I would say that to make your dreams come true. It is necessary to fight without hesitation......

Some of you. I'm about to get out of school and catch up with society. When the time comes, you will find that there is a big gap between reality and ideals, and it is possible that the life you live is 108,000 miles different from your dreams, how should you choose at this time...... I don't want to make any big deals, just talk about my experience in Hong Kong. ”

Hear this, whether it's a student or a teacher. Everyone waited expectantly for Kang Jianfei to continue. Although some newspapers have also reported on Kang Jianfei's deeds, the content is very general, where is Kang Jianfei's own talk attractive.

Of course, there are already various short stories about Kang Jianfei in Reader's Digest. For example: Kang Jianfei was wandering the streets when he was down. One day in Hong Kong, I met a beggar, and the beggar found Kang Jianfei picking up books in the garbage heap to read, so he laughed at him and said: You can't even afford to eat, what are you doing with books? Kang Jianfei replied disdainfully: So you are a beggar, and I am just a temporary vagabond!

This kind of article is nonsense at first glance, but it can convince the current Chinese people, and it has brought a group of loyal fans to Kang Jianfei.

Kang Jianfei bragged and said without drafting: "When I first went to Hong Kong, I was introduced by my cousin to work on the set of Shaw Brothers Pictures, and I also helped move props, pretending to be dead corpses and passers-by depending on the situation. During the meal, I, a mainland boy who had just been there, was also looked down upon by Hong Kong people, and there was basically no meat to be found in the lunch. What my cousin meant was that he asked me to learn kung fu from a master, and in the future, I would rely on being a dragon and tiger martial artist to eat. Dragon and Tiger Martial Artist, you may not understand that the beaten villain in Cheng Long's kung fu movies, as well as the stand-ins and behind-the-scenes that you can't see, although they make a lot of money, they are injured after a few years...... I took my novel to the "Ming Pao" newspaper, and they didn't like my manuscript, so I turned to "Oriental Daily", what was the result? My novels have boosted the sales of Oriental Daily by tens of thousands...... I said I was going to make a movie, and my friends persuaded me, saying that your little money should be used to buy a house, and if you lose it, you have to sleep on the road. When my movie was launched, the Shaw Brothers jokers all looked at me for jokes, what was the result? My work "Happy Ghost" became the first film in Hong Kong to break 1,000 at the box office......"

Kang Jianfei began to brag with oil and vinegar, many times it was purely to show off, and he ran away from the content of the speech to the edge of the sky. The students below erupted in exclamation from time to time, because Kang Jianfei's story is a legend, and it always feels incredible.

"If you make up your mind that you want to do something, then no matter how many people question it and how many people ridicule it, as long as you think it's right and it doesn't endanger the interests of others, then stick to it. Persistence may not be successful, but if you don't insist, you must not succeed," Kang Jianfei, who didn't say the big truth, began to say the big reason again, "After you graduate from Chinese opera, you will definitely encounter setbacks, doubts and ridicule, if you want to get through the difficulties and succeed, you must be firm yourself." Success is not achieved overnight, success is the result is not the process, the process is the persistence and sweat of the ......"

Kang Jianfei talked nonsense for more than an hour, during which he didn't know how much water he drank when he was thirsty, and finally came to the question session of the students.

First of all, a girl asked many people's doubts: "Mr. Kang, why are you so talented, you write songs and compose music, and you are also very good at making movies and writing novels." ”

Kang Jianfei said nonsense: "It mainly depends on learning and accumulation, and it also requires a certain amount of talent. Of course, you also have to be self-aware, for example, my writing is very poor, the first novel is that I make up the plot, my cousin writes, and finally everyone will share the manuscript fee. ”

Kang Jianfei deliberately revealed the things that people ghostwrote, but he also wanted to show his shortcomings, otherwise it would be suspicious if he was too perfect.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, many people were balanced in their hearts, and it turned out that Kang Jianfei was not omnipotent.

Another boy asked, "Director Kang, my classmates went to see your "Sword and Horse" a few days ago, how do you handle the boundary between art and popularity?" ”

Kang Jianfei said: "Filming in Hong Kong is different from here, mainland directors make movies, as long as they make movies well, it doesn't matter whether they can make money at the box office. But not in Hong Kong, where directors must be responsible for the box office, and you can play art if you want, but you can't make money if you play it, and you may never have a movie to make in the future. Therefore, when filming "Sword and Horse", although I am making a movie for my own company, I must also abide by this principle, otherwise the company will go bankrupt and be unlucky. Before the film is made, I think about what the audience likes to watch, and that's the so-called popular part. Then I would think about how this film can perfectly express my point of view, how to better present those film techniques, which is the so-called art department. The combination of the two is a "Sword and Horse", if the middle art conflicts with the popular, I will abandon art and choose the popular, after all, I must ensure the box office. And you can have different choices, that is, the first artistic part, but the popular people feel that they can't be lost, because the people don't like to watch the film, and from a certain point of view, this movie is a failure. ”

"Thank you Kang Dao for your answer." The boy said contentedly.

Kang Jianfei took another sip of water, he talked at Nortel for several hours in the morning, and it was really difficult for him to aim. (To be continued......) RO
