Chapter 34: Going to School
On October 31, 1981, the 10th enrollment of the wireless training class officially ended, and among the thousands of people who signed up, only 42 people met the requirements and were issued an admission notice by TVB, Ye Tian was one of them.
Early in the morning, Ye Tianma slipped up, tore off the November 3rd calendar on the wall, washed very seriously, today is the first day of school, I was a little excited, tried a few clothes in a row, and put on the best, 500 oceans black suit.
Jointly organised by TVB and Tsr Brothers Productions, the Artist Training Course has been held annually since 1971 and has been hosted by TVB since the ninth session in 1979. It has always been a full-time teaching, with a duration of one year, the first half of the year is mainly classroom teaching, learning the theory of performance, and the second half is mainly practice-based, and there is a small amount of course assistance.
The artist training class is like a mature star-making assembly line, the artist learns the basic knowledge of acting, lines, dance, martial arts, screenwriting theory, introduction to photography, TV engineering and other basic knowledge in the early stage, and the later stage is the performance practice.
Wutaishan Wireless TV City, as soon as he got off the taxi, Ye Tian saw his good friend Liang Chaowei trotting all the way from the end of the road, his face was covered with sweat, his coat was tied around his waist, and the front and back of his vest were full of water stains.
"Wei Zai!"
Ye Tian shouted, hurriedly walked over to help Liang Chaowei, and quipped: "Are you okay, you don't have to work so hard to exercise early in the morning, your clothes are wet!" ”
Liang Chaowei gasped and said intermittently: "Tianzai, you're here, we're not late, are we?" ”
"No, there are still ten minutes!"
Ye Tian took out a few tissues and reminded, "You wipe your sweat first." ”
"Thank you!"
"Why are you running here?"
"I don't have a car, I originally remembered earlier, but the alarm clock at home was broken, and it was half an hour late."
"Then you can take a taxi."
"I only have 10 yuan on me, and I won't have anything to eat at noon today when I take a taxi!"
Liang Chaowei smiled reluctantly, he is not as talented as Ye Tian, he can make money by writing novels, he has worked for so long, he has only saved a few hundred Hong Kong dollars, plus the allowance issued by TVB, he can barely last for a few months, the premise is that he can only spend 10 yuan a day, and if 10 yuan is used to take the car, he will not have to eat at noon.
"Alas, you should have told me earlier if you were short of money!" Ye Tian took out his wallet, took out four 500 bills, handed them to Liang Chaowei, and explained: "I'm not a rich kid, but I still have a lot of money left from the previous manuscript fee, you can use the 2,000 first, it's not enough to ask me again!" ”
"Tianzai, I can't use your money!" Liang Chaowei refused and returned the money to Ye Tian, he made friends with Ye Tian, not because of the money, and he didn't want to borrow money from others, the money was easy to repay, but it was difficult to repay the favors.
Ye Tian handed over the money again, pretending to be angry and said: "Now, if you come back, I'm going to be angry, I understand what you mean, you treat me as a friend, you don't want to trouble me, but I also treat you as a friend, friends are in trouble, how can you be a friend!" ”
"This ......" Liang Chaowei hesitated, and under Ye Tian's gaze, he finally accepted it.
"Thank you, I'll pay it back."
"Got it, let's go in, let's talk again, it's really going to be late!"
The training class is just a place to train newcomers in TVB, because on the first day of coming, Ye Tian also asked someone to inquire about the address before finding it, the classroom is no different from the school, with an area of forty square meters, and there is no one inside.
Ye Tian wondered: "Strange, why is there no one?" ”
Liang Chaowei looked left and right: "We can't go wrong, right?" ”
"No, isn't there a wireless training class written on the classroom wall, haven't they arrived?" Ye Tian shook his head, it happened to be work time now, and it was impossible for there to be no students.
"It doesn't make sense!"
Ye Tian wondered, a middle-aged man suddenly walked out of the office next door, saw Ye Tian and Liang Chaowei, was stunned for a moment, and shouted: "Why are you two still standing here, all the students have been called downstairs to gather!" ”
"What!"
Ye Tian couldn't help but cling to the guardrail and glanced downstairs, and sure enough, in the open space downstairs, he saw more than forty students lined up, and his old acquaintance Zhong Jinhui was lecturing in front.
"Wei Zai, come on!"
The two hurriedly ran downstairs and stood in the last row, and it turned out that Zhong Jinhui was taking a roll call.
"Xue Caixia!"
"Here!"
"Xu Jingjiang!"
"Here!"
"Liang Jiahui!"
"Here!"
Liu Dehua, who was standing at the back of the line, secretly turned around and asked in a low voice, "Why did you two come?" ”
Ye Tian agreed and replied in a low voice: "Missed, we went upstairs from the other side of the stairs, and we didn't see you, how can we take a roll call downstairs." ”
"I heard that someone couldn't find a classroom, so they went downstairs to meet."
Liang Chaowei asked, "Andy, did you point to me and Ye Tian?" ”
"Tianzi ordered, you didn't."
"Liu Dehua!"
"Here!"
"Don't speak!"
"Yes!"
"Qi Yizhen!"
"Here!"
"Liang Chaowei!"
"Here!"
"Wu Jiali!"
"Here!"
"Dai Zhiwei!"
"Here!"
After calling names, Zhong Jinhui closed the roster, raised his voice and said, "There are students who have not been named, stand in front!" ”
Ye Tian glanced at Liang Chaowei, and received a helpless expression, very depressed, the same late, why is he the only one who is punished in front, do you want to expose it? Ye Tian thought evil in his heart.
Zhong Jinhui looked at Ye Tian and asked, "Ye Tian, why are you late?" ”
"I'm sorry Mr. Zhong, I ...... Lost. ”
"At school, call me Tutor Zhong!"
"Yes, Mentor Zhong!"
Zhong Jinhui is the instructor of the first phase of the artist training class of wireless, when wireless only had a few ace programs such as "Happy Tonight", there were few small roles and even small roles, the production fee was limited, and there was almost no extra money to hire extras, Liang Tian proposed to hold an artist training class to recruit talents, which was adopted by the senior management of wireless, because Liang Tian had no skills and no time to teach, so Zhong Jinhui joined with the mentality of helping.
Ye Tian noticed that Zhong Jinhui had no life in his eyes, and immediately put his mind at ease, he didn't want to offend his mentor on the first day, he also had an important enemy.
"Okay, since you're late, introduce yourself in front of everyone!"
"Eh?"
"What, don't want to?"
"Yes!"
Ye Tian was overjoyed, what kind of punishment is this.
"Hello everyone, my name is Ye Tian, Ye of the leaves, the sky of the sky, you can call me Tianzai, you can also call me Brother Tian, but don't call me the Emperor of Heaven, I can't stand it, don't look at me ugly, in fact, I am very gentle......"
"Poof!"
Qi Yizhen laughed coldly and covered her mouth.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"Oh, in the coming year, I will study in the training class with you, and I hope we can successfully graduate, enter TVB, and realize our dreams!"
"Go back and remember not to be late again!" Zhong Jinhui gently patted Ye Tian on the shoulder.
"Yes!"
"The team on the left will go first, and return to the classroom in an orderly manner, with the girls sitting in the front and the boys sitting in the back."
Back in the classroom, Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei naturally sat next to Ye Tian, a small circle of three people, two rows of girls in the front, because of Qi Yizhen and Wu Jiali, Ye Tian, Liu Dehua, and Liang Chaowei sat in the front, in the third row, and also in the first row of boys.
After assigning seats, everyone was busy introducing themselves to each other, a group of people like Ye Tian, Liang Chaowei, Liu Dehua, and Qi Yizhen were all admitted, and everyone was meeting for the first time, and their ears were filled with voices, 'hello', 'who do I call'.
Ye Tian seemed to return to the opening day of the university, everyone was curious, excited and other emotions, secretly made a vow that I would not lose to others, and after a brief acquaintance, they chatted non-stop, especially when talking about topics that were of interest to both parties, they were in high spirits and laughed from time to time.
"Bang bang bang!"
Zhong Jinhui slapped the podium heavily, looked around with a stern gaze, and soon fell silent.
"What are you doing, you don't follow discipline in the first class, what kind of commotion it looks like! Don't think that the interview will be successful once and for all, the next thing you will encounter is the real test! ”
Cut and dried! On the first day of school, the teacher just talked about some big truths, talked about how important learning is, and analyzed the path of life.
Zhong Jinhui said earnestly: "Maybe many of you think that being admitted to the wireless artist training class means that the future star journey will be smooth sailing, after graduation, sign a contract with wireless, become a new generation of Zhou Yanfa, there are very few lucky people who can be favored by God, first listen carefully to graduate, after completing the training, those who pass the results will be issued a certificate, and the students who pass the evaluation will have the opportunity to be hired as a TVB contract artist, you have a senior in the previous period, named Tang Zhenye, the name is good, but he almost can't finish his job, When he finished the graduation exam and was still on the verge of elimination, his mentor Liu Fanggang gave him the opportunity to let Tang Zhenye be the master of ceremonies at the graduation party, because the performance score of the party will be incorporated into the graduation results. And this student is also angry, two weeks before the party, the class has been suspended, but he still insisted on returning to school to practice, and finally saved himself back, I don't like students who don't work hard, I don't think you come to this training class just to take classes, if you don't have a strong interest you can't last. ”
Tang Zhenye? Isn't it one of the five tiger generals, and he is also the murderer who killed Weng Meiling! Ye Tian doesn't have a good impression of Tang Zhenye, legend has it that he killed Weng Meiling, Rong'er in everyone's mind, every time "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is broadcast, Ye Tian must watch it, especially with the Internet, if he is idle and bored, just click on it to see, Huang Rong in his mind is Weng Meiling.
