Chapter 31: Your Son Is a Genius
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Jiang Haishan, who was immersed in joy, didn't notice that Jiang Lin was wrong, and smiled easily.
"yes, what's the matter?" Wang Shufen smiled deeply.
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Lin's mouth, he was about to fill in the volunteer, before that, he couldn't keep hiding the matter of the two of them applying for the Yenching Film Academy, and he had to tell them after all, after exhaling, his eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice: "Parents, I'm going to fill in the volunteer soon, I now have the goal of applying for the exam."
"That's a good thing, which school are you going to attend?" Jiang Haishan said happily.
"That's right, which school?" Wang Shufen said with concern.
"Script Writing in the Literature Department of Yenching Film Academy." Jiang Lin simply finished speaking.
"What, Yenching Film Academy?" Jiang Hai's expression changed greatly, and he said in a lost voice, with a look of disbelief.
"Son, you're not kidding, do you really want to study at Yenching Film Academy?" Wang Shufen naturally couldn't believe it, in her opinion, her son should apply for schools like Shuimu University and Yenching University, well, judging from her son's situation in the past period of time, she can accept it even if she applies for the Conservatory of Music, after all, she never thought that it would be Yenching Film Academy.
"Mom, I'm not kidding, Mom, Mom, I know you must all think it's incredible now, it seems that I should be admitted to a comprehensive national famous school, and my future career is a doctor, lawyer, architectural designer, accountant or something, but I have no interest in those careers at all, in fact, what I have always really longed for is the colorful entertainment world, if I can, I hope to engage in work related to the entertainment industry in the future." I didn't tell you before, in fact, I went to Yenching to participate in the training class before, but in fact, I went to participate in the school examination of Yenching Film Academy, and it turns out that your son really has the talent to eat this bowl of rice in the entertainment industry, I have already obtained the school examination certificate of the Department of Literature, and now as long as I fill in the volunteers, I can become a screenwriter in the future, or even a creative director who writes and directs himself. Jiang Lin said with a smile.
Jiang Haishan Wang Shufen worked hard to digest her son's words, but she didn't expect that her son had passed the school examination of Yenching Film Academy unconsciously, because Wang Shufen was studying at the Conservatory of Music, they naturally knew the difficulty of being admitted to Yenching Film Academy, but the two were not the slightest happy, and some were just worried.
"Son, it stands to reason that you can be admitted to the Yenching Film Academy, your father and I should be very happy, but your mother and I also studied in a music academy at the beginning, and I had a dream of entering the entertainment industry and becoming a musician, but now your mother and I are just a music teacher, why, the entertainment industry is different from other industries, it is too difficult and difficult to gain a foothold in that industry, I don't know much about the situation of screenwriters, but I know the situation of musicians." Wang Shufen said earnestly.
"Yes, son, your mother is right, movies and music are good as hobbies, but as a career path, you must think about your future, yes, the gold medal screenwriters we see on TV and newspapers are infinitely beautiful, but you also have to see tens of thousands of screenwriters in China, few can go that far, more are ordinary screenwriters who are not aspiring, it is not easy to write scripts, it is normal to have a work a year, and it is not strange to publish one in two or three years, Other people's gold medal screenwriters can get millions of remuneration for a work, and it doesn't matter if the output is not high, but as an ordinary screenwriter, the money you earn is very likely to not be able to support your family, why, there are too many ordinary screenwriters in this world, and the things you work hard to write for one year, two years and three years may not be sold in the end.
And with your results in this college entrance examination, as long as you are admitted to a prestigious university like Mizuki University, study hard, study hard, not to mention how brilliant the future is after graduation, at least there is no problem in raising a family, and your life will be quite easy. Son, your mother and I didn't say that you shouldn't have dreams, but we don't want to see you take a detour, and once you make a mistake, your whole life may be ruined. Jiang Haishan followed closely.
Jiang Lin used to be very impatient with his parents' nagging, and almost regarded the words of the second elder as the wind in his ears, but after four years of college career and more than two years of crawling in society, he knew why Jiang Haishan Wang Shufen would admonish him so much, young people with strong blood and strength do not understand, but adults who have been baptized by society have a deep understanding of dreaming of this thing, it seems to be higher than life, but in the face of life pressure, it is often so vulnerable.
People are always talking about dreams, but where is the so-called dream so easy to pursue, not only the success rate is extremely low, but how many can put aside the pressure of life and chase it wholeheartedly.
At least he was the original, except for dreaming, he never dared to expect himself to embark on a career path to the entertainment industry, but this is not that time, although he knows that it is difficult to get out in the entertainment industry, now he has a reason to do so.
"Mom and Dad, I know your worries and considerations, but I'm not hot-headed by doing this, I think I can really eat the bowl of the entertainment industry and eventually achieve something. Yes, the competition in the entertainment industry is very fierce, and it is difficult to get ahead, but that is only for ordinary people, you must know that your son and I are a genius. ”
Jiang Lin smiled and said, he naturally didn't know the situation after the system was activated, but no matter what, what he had to do now was to fool Jiang Haishan Wang Shufen, and let the two agree to his decision, first passing the current level: "Don't doubt it, I'm not kidding, your son I am really a genius, just ask how many people can create songs like "Loyal to the Country" and "The Bride Is Not Me" at my age, and tell you a secret, the songs I created are actually far more than these two, and more importantly, I am confident that my talent in screenwriting will definitely not be inferior to music, so although you put your heart in your stomach, it may be difficult for others to get ahead in the entertainment industry, but for me, it is as simple as eating and drinking. ”
"You kid, if you don't brag, you'll die!" Wang Shufen scolded with a smile, but her eyes were full of pride, yes, how many people can write an excellent song like "Loyal to the Country" at the age of 17.
Wang Haishan also shook his head with a smile, although he felt that his son was bragging, but to be honest, for a while, he really didn't know what words to use to refute, as a father, he was sincerely proud of his son's achievements in the past period.
Jiang Lin smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "I'm not bragging, the facts will prove it, in this way, I will show you the script, you probably can't understand it, I will sing you my latest song, let you know how talented your son is."
Wang Shufen couldn't help but chuckle: "Okay, I want to hear how good the songs you wrote, it's not so easy to convince us." ”
Not to mention the application for the Yenching Film Academy for the time being, Jiang Haishan is also full of expectations for what kind of songs his son will create.
"Then you'll have to listen." The corners of Jiang Lin's mouth turned up slightly, and he said with regret: "It's a pity that I haven't learned to play a song completely with the guitar, otherwise the singing effect will be better." ”
"Don't grind, sing fast!" Wang Shufen couldn't cry or laugh.
"Right now, right now." Jiang Lin cleared his throat, and then sang straight out.
"That's the person I love day and night,
How do I express it?
Will she accept me,
Maybe I'll never say that to her,
I'm destined to wander the world,
How can there be care,
Dreams are always out of reach,
Isn't it time to give up,
It's another season for flowers to bloom and fall,
Spring, where are you. ”
When they heard "Dreams are always out of reach, should you give up", Jiang Haishan and Wang Shufen both looked deeply at Jiang Lin who was singing, and felt that their son was singing this song to show his heart to himself, and their expressions were moved.
"Youth is like a rushing river,
If you don't come back, it's too late to say goodbye,
All that's left is the numb me,
Without the blood of the year,
Look at the flowers floating in the sky,
withering in the most beautiful moment,
……”
But gradually, Jiang Haishan and Wang Shufen felt that their son was singing about themselves, and their thoughts couldn't help but fly, returning to the green years in their memories, who had no dreams, they had also had, and they were very eager to do so, but because of the pressure of future life, they had to choose to give up.
"Did you fulfill your original wish?
Do you have to pay tribute now?
Let the years dry the ideal, and I can't find the real me again,
Looking up at the starry sky,
The one that accompanied me at that time,
Do you remember the story here,
Life is like a merciless carving knife,
changed the way we look,
Will it wither before it blooms?
I've had dreams,
Youth is like a rushing river,
If you don't come back, it's too late to say goodbye,
All that's left is the numb me,
Without the blood of the year,
……”
Chopsticks Brothers is a combination in the previous life, strictly speaking, the two are not a regular singer group, Jiang Lin is the most popular micro-movie on the Internet through guò "Old Boy" knows the two, this theme song of the same name is the core soul of the whole micro-movie, the story can be said to revolve around the lyrics, there are many places in the lyrics that poke tears, I think when I first heard this song, the corners of his eyes became moist, that was after he entered the social work, a period of physical and mental suffering, and therefore, I deliberately learned this song.
is also because he knows how this song touches people's hearts, he deliberately chose to sing such a song to convince Jiang's father and mother.
And it turned out that his strategy was indeed successful, although there was no accompanying melody, although he could hardly be called perfect, but only with the touching lyrics and melody, Jiang Haishan and Wang Shufen were obviously deeply touched.
"What's the name of this song?" Jiang Haishan said in a sentimental tone.
"'Old Boy.'" Jiang Lin smiled and pretended to be very embarrassed: "How about it, do you already know how talented your son is, according to an agent I know, my songs can now easily sell for thirty or fifty thousand, I only need to write a dozen or twenty songs, and then write a few scripts, at least stay in our Nanhe, and I don't have to worry about it for the rest of my life." ”
"You kid." Wang Shufen shook her head with a smile, not to mention the inner touch just now, she knew how great her son's song just now was, if what her son said was true, she really didn't have to worry about his future life, and as long as her son had no worries about life, what could she not do to chase his dreams?
Jiang Haishan looked at Jiang Lin deeply, and then sighed: "Okay, in the matter of your admission to the Yanjing Film Academy, your mother and I will no longer obstruct you, I just want to tell you that this is your own choice, no matter what the result is in the future, you have to bear it yourself."
"OK, understood." Jiang Lin smiled brightly.
