"What, you're going to drop out?"

In a teaching office of the Faculty of Arts and Media, Kyoto Normal University, an angry roar spread far away, and several sharp-eyed teachers exchanged looks, stood up in unison, and quickly retreated, closing the door by the way.

The huge office suddenly became extremely empty, leaving only two people, an old man and a young man staring at each other, and the atmosphere seemed quite tense.

"Yes, I want to drop out, and I hope you will approve it." Opposite Lin Yuquan was a tall and majestic old man, at this time, the old man's face was pale, he slapped the table, stood up suddenly, and faced the old man's angry gaze, he did not flinch and said.

"Drop out, why drop out?" The old man shouted loudly, just about to continue to get angry, but looked at Lin Yuquan, who had a stubborn expression, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, and then said solemnly: "It's definitely not okay to drop out of school, I allow you to take a long vacation, and come back when you have enough rest, do you think a week is enough?" ”

Ah, that's okay, Lin Yuquan looked at the old man in front of him dumbfounded, strange, too strange, he knew the old man's temper very well, in his impression, the old man had always been very strict, and the old man's strictness was well-known even in the entire Kyoto Normal University.

The old man's name is Lu Ming, and he is the most senior professor in the School of Arts and Media, and he is also the class instructor of the 2001 class of his film and television major. It stands to reason that as a professor, he generally does not take on the position of ordinary class supervisor, and usually acts as a graduate student or doctoral supervisor.

But Lu Ming is definitely an out-and-out monster, he has always served as a class supervisor, but the work of the doctoral supervisor has become just a bypass, and what is even more amazing is that all the doctoral students under him are from his freshman year. However, it is undeniable that under his training, almost all of these people have become fragrant buns that have been robbed by major schools and educational institutions.

It's just that Lu Ming's personality is very hot, but anything that doesn't please the eye is often directly a crackling scolding, Lin Yuquan has been slandered more than once before, maybe those guys who have unlimited prospects in the end have to grow up in his scolding!

And the current situation is undoubtedly very weird, he proposed to quit school, Lu Ming not only did not scold himself, but generously gave himself a holiday.

But the question is, what's the use of taking a vacation yourself?

"Professor, that, I really want to quit school, you should approve it!" Lin Yuquan hesitated, but still said firmly.

"You" Lu Ming's hand trembled and pointed at Lin Yuquan, angry and long-winded, if it wasn't for an old friend calling him, he would still be in the dark, and with his temper, if it was an ordinary student who would have scolded him a long time ago, he would have been open to this guy, but he still didn't repent: "You kid, you're really angry with me, isn't it just a lovelorn and dumped?" When you are young, you think you know what love is, you can call it love, fall in love and break up, you are heartbroken, clamoring to drop out of school, and give up after three years of study, don't you think it's a pity? Do you still think that dropping out of school is just a casual thing, have you ever considered the consequences of being strict? ”

What, lovelorn, Lin Yuquan was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out and asked, "Professor, how did you know about my lovelorn?" ”

"Ahem" Lu Ming coughed vigorously, hiding the embarrassment on his face, and pretending to say casually: "Hmph, I just guessed based on your usual appearance, didn't you ask me for leave some time ago and say that you want to accompany your girlfriend to participate in the role audition for the movie?" Seeing that you seemed to be in a good mood two days ago, you should have received good news from your girlfriend, but now you suddenly propose to withdraw from school, and the ups and downs of love are extremely abnormal, and after thinking about it, only the explanation of breaking up and falling out of love is the most reasonable. ”

Speaking of this, under the gaze of Lin Yuquan's strange eyes, his face quickly became stern: "I know that you can't let go of your relationship with a girl, and some feelings are indeed difficult to let go, but how can you joke about your studies, how can you not care about your future, this is a decision that is related to your life." One wrong step, one wrong step, I don't want to wait for you to regret it later, there is no regret medicine in this world, if you feel that a week of vacation can not soothe the pain of falling out of love, then how do you feel about two weeks? ”

"Professor, I admit that part of the reason I dropped out of school was because I fell out of love, but more importantly, I want to do what I really want to do, I know that you care about me and are afraid that I will delay my future, but please rest assured, I will move towards greater success, and soon I will prove to you that I made the right decision today." Of course, Lin Yuquan understood that the old man was for his good, if he was just an ordinary student, dropping out of school would of course affect his future and affect his life, but with the memory of a cultivator, there are many better futures, so naturally he doesn't have to care too much about his current studies, and since he has made a decision in his heart, whether it is his wishful thinking or not, he will always give it a try, so he said without hesitation.

"Hmph, staying in school to teach or going to the TV station is the most suitable for you, drop out, drop out, what can you do after dropping out?" Lu Ming's face sank and said, in his opinion, although Lin Yuquan is not a genius, he has quite good attainments in the appreciation and analysis of film and television dramas and the grasp of future film and television development trends.

"I want to be a director, I want to make movies." Lin Yuquan was not deterred by the old man's momentum, and said unusually firmly.

"What do you say? You're going to be a director. Lu Ming glanced at Lin Yuquan in disbelief, slapped the table suddenly, and roared angrily: "It's just nonsense, I think you are angry and brainy because of the breakup, and you still want to be a director, is the director so good?" And how much do you know about the current situation of directors in China? Although you have good abilities in all aspects, you know how many young people who graduated from the directing department and were full of aspirations, after being mixed with the crew for more than ten or twenty years, either continued to work or changed careers. Those damn investors will only look for Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, and other big directors who have become famous, and they will not give newcomers a chance at all. What's more, if you are an ordinary student majoring in film and television at a normal university who is halfway home, how can investors trust you and invest in you to make movies at a huge risk? This is something that even those directors with professional backgrounds can't do, and do you think you will be more successful than them? ”

Of course it will, Lin Yuquan is convinced of this, unlike others, he has all the memories of a cultivator in his mind, if he can't succeed in this way, he should be so incompetent, he just hit the wall and die.

It's just that such a reason can't be spoken, Lin Yuquan smiled and said: "Professor, I know what you said, but I'm not a whim, before making this decision, I also thought it through, in fact, for people who really want to devote themselves to the director's career, it is not too much of a problem to become a monk halfway, just like Feng Xiaogang was engaged in art design before becoming a director, and Zhang Yimou was a photographer before making a movie, neither of them was born in a professional directing department, but now they are one of the top directors in China." And James Cameron of "Titanic" was in a similar situation to me at the beginning, he first studied physics at California State University, only because he was interested in movies, so he dropped out of school and became a screenwriter, and slowly became a director, and now he is one of the most well-known directors in the world. What they can do, I'm confident I can do too. And I didn't go to make movies immediately after dropping out of school, I know that although I have a little understanding of film and television creation and production, there are still too many deficiencies, and I don't have any practical experience, and it is not realistic to want to make movies immediately, so I am ready to go to the system to learn film and television directing first, and then shoot movies after I have enough ability, you can rest assured! ”

"Don't worry, how can you rest assured that the director is definitely not what you imagined as long as you learn to be a film and television director, the premise of making a movie is that you must have investment, do you think you have the ability to get investment from those demanding investors?" Lu Ming does not doubt that Lin Yuquan can learn the shooting skills of a director, the basic shooting skills are very simple, and many amateurs can master them after self-study, but the key is film investment, and there is no need to talk about it without investment.

"Seriously, I don't know if I'll be able to win the favor of film companies or investors, but anyway, I'm confident that I can become a director, and you can rest assured." Lin Yuquan said with a firm expression, even if no one invests in his films, as long as he is willing to wait, sooner or later he will have enough funds to shoot the movies he wants to make.

"You!" Lu Ming sighed with emotion, he has always been very optimistic about Lin Yuquan, and was ready to vigorously promote him, but unexpectedly, Lin Yuquan came up with such an idea after falling out of love, seeing that Lin Yuquan was firm and confident, he was also helpless, after all, heart disease only had to be treated with heart medicine, and there was no solution to the problem of heart disease, Lin Yuquan could not study with peace of mind, and it was good to let him suffer a little blow, after knowing the difficulty of being a director, he would naturally come back to study obediently, after thinking about it, he said directly; "You don't need to drop out of school, in this way, I will go through the suspension procedures for you, if you want to figure it out, or if you feel that studying directing is not going well, come back and continue your studies."

Suspended from school, Lin Yuquan paused for a moment, and then understood the hard work of the old man, and his heart was immediately very grateful: "Thank you, professor." ”

"Stinky boy, thank me at this time!" Lu Ming patted Lin Yuquan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, don't talk about this, where are you going to learn directing, is it Kyoto Film Academy?" Or Kyoto Theater Academy? Or is it the Shanghai Drama Academy? If you haven't chosen a place yet, I happen to have an old friend who works at the Kyoto Film Academy, and I can barely help with this, so you might want to consider it. ”

"Wow, is what you're saying true, Professor? Yes, so much. Lin Yuquan's eyes widened and he exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Ming looked at Lin Yuquan's exaggerated movements amusedly: "Do you need to be so excited?" Since you've all offered to drop out, I don't believe you'll be unprepared. ”

Lin Yuquan scratched his head and sneered: "Hehe, one of my father's college classmates has a bit of a way out at the Kyoto Theater Academy, and I originally planned to confess to my parents and ask them for help." However, their thinking has always been more traditional, and they will definitely oppose it when they know about my change to directing, and order me to come back to continue my studies, if I can hide it from them and solve the problem, it will be great. ”

Lin Yuquan is not worried about whether he can persuade his parents to agree to him to study directing, even if his parents do not agree, he has a way to enter Kyoto Film Academy and other colleges to study, but in this way, it is far less convenient than the help of Lu Ming's friends now.

"Since I dare to drop out of school knowing that my parents are against it, I really don't know what to say about you, I'll call my old friend later, hehe, he is the dean of the Kyoto Film Academy, surnamed Zhang, you will go to the Kyoto Film Academy to find him in the afternoon, the ugly words are ahead, he has always been strict, whether you can pass his interview or not, it's up to you." Lu Ming smiled narrowly.

It turned out to be the dean of the Kyoto Film Academy, which can barely help, Lin Yuquan rolled his eyes, and then hurriedly patted his chest and said loudly: "Professor, don't worry, I will keep him satisfied." ”
