"Ahem, there's some truth to what you're saying."

may not have expected Gu Cancan's response to be very tough, and the bald male teacher said a little embarrassed.

Another judge was a kind lady who smiled and said, "Yes, you have your own opinion, I see that you are only 16 years old this year?" ”

"Yes," Gu Cancan replied politely.

"It's amazing," the lady exclaimed, "I've also seen the nightclub movie, it's a very good commercial movie, and it's really a hero to be able to make a movie of this level at a young age." I see that your profile also says that you are proficient in pipa, and that you were the first place in a singing contest Super Girl in 2005? ”

Another teacher next to him interjected: "Why don't you show off your talent on the pipa?" ”

Gu Cancan was a little confused, and said that the teacher of the first examination of Chinese opera would ask you what is the history of film development, performance genre or something, why do you still have to show your talent here?

She was embarrassed and said, "I didn't bring a pipa today." ”

"It's okay, we've got it here." The teacher called a staff member and told him to go to the instrumental music room and get a pipa.

Then the questions continued, and the bald teacher began to ask questions again.

"Gu Cancan, which director do you admire the most?"

Sure enough, there was this routine question, Gu Cancan had already prepared, and she replied: "What I admire the most is James Cameron." ”

"Oh, James Cameron." The bald teacher's expression looked very obvious disappointment, and he continued: "Cameron is a well-known director of commercial films, and his films often only pursue the ultimate viewing experience, and in terms of artistry and depth, his films are difficult to meet the standards of the academy. Can I understand that in the future, the direction of your main direction in making movies is also a commercial film genre? ”

The other party seems to look down on Cameron a little?

Gu Cancan pondered for two seconds and said: "James Cameron's film narrative technique is almost only flat and straightforward, without twisting around the corner. But his mastery of details, the comfortable rhythm of the film, and the rustic but real expression of emotion are what I particularly appreciate. From his films, I realized that the core of making a good movie is "how to tell a good and engaging story", and all other forms, soundtracks, special effects, and actors, are all for storytelling. That's what I like most about him. ”

"Yes, that's a good point, I have my own opinions." The female teacher praised.

The bald teacher shook his head slightly, seemingly disagreeing with this, but he didn't say anything more.

Someone sent the pipa over, Gu Cancan took the pipa, pondered for a while, and played the most intense passage in the ninety-nine-eighty-one.

The sound of the pipa, which was staggered but not messy at all, resounded in the room, like a pearl falling on a jade plate.

There is an element of showing off skills, Gu Cancan didn't feel good about this first test, so he simply let himself go and follow his mood.

As the last glissando ended, the beautiful sound of the pipa gradually dissipated, and the examination room was quiet again.

The three teachers all nodded, recognizing Gu Cancan's talent, and then the bald teacher continued to ask: "What do you think of the French New Wave film movement?" ”

“……”

Gu Cancan was silent for a while, and said honestly: "I'm sorry teacher, I don't know much about the French New Wave film movement. ”

"If you want to become a director, you still need to know more about the genres and characteristics of other countries in the world. Do you know about domestic directors and which director's works do you admire? ”

Gu Cancan can still answer one or two questions about this question.

"I am relatively familiar with domestic directors, such as Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Jiang Wen, Guan Yu, Feng Xiaoning, etc., all of whom I admire very much, but if I say that I appreciate it the most, it is Zhang Yimou."

Since the hero and the city are full of golden armor, Hei Zhang Yimou seems to have become politically correct, which director do you admire the mostSeveral examiners have asked many students, and Gu Cancan is still the first to say that he admires Zhang Yimou the most.

"Why do you like Zhang Yimou?"

"I think he's the best photographer in the world, and he has a unique aesthetic and is very sensitive to capturing beauty. And he is a good at picking scripts, and the scripts he chooses are basically extremely good. However, his screenwriting ability is in a hurry. In short, Zhang Yimou is a first-class craftsman. To be honest, I know that when Zhang Yimou is mentioned now, the public's sense of him is very bad. However, in my opinion, it is wrong to blindly black Zhang Yimou's films, and his level of cinematography and proficiency in various techniques are second to none in China. And his aesthetic level is very high, especially good at discovering the shining points in women, and has brought many beautiful and aura actresses. ”

Gu Cancan told her opinion of Zhang Yimou, and several examiners and teachers were noncommittal.

At this point, the preliminary examination was over, and Gu Cancan walked out of the test center, feeling very empty.

I feel that the first examination of the Chinese opera directing department is very unexpected, isn't it normal to test some literary knowledge and film analysis or something, why do you have to show your talent or something?

Wonder.

After Gu Cancan left, there were only three examiners left in the examination room.

The bald examiner suddenly laughed: "This Gu Cancan, I feel like a teenage girl, and I don't feel that I know more than ordinary people." ”

"I can't say that, she is very thoughtful and talented. I think that she can make a movie like a nightclub at a young age, and the future is limitless. Another teacher said.

The only female teacher said: "I think this child is not bad, not as smooth as other candidates, and his answers are all words that please the teacher, but he has his own opinions." ”

The bald teacher shook his head slightly: "If the nightclub is really filmed by herself, it means that she is still a little spiritual in directing, I'm afraid that a rich girl comes to play tickets, everything is done by others, but she is just a name." ”

"No matter what, let Gu Cancan enter the retest first and see the follow-up performance." The female teacher finally made the final decision.

……

Today is the weekend, Gu Cancan came out of the opera and went directly to Beijing University.

She went to find Wang Xiaoxiao.

The students of Beijing University naturally have a calm temperament, even if they saw Gu Cancan, they didn't show much excitement, at most they looked at it a few more times, and no one came up to ask for an autograph or anything like that.

It may also have something to do with the fact that Gu Cancan often comes and is no longer strange.

Here, Gu Cancan also feels that it is natural that she does not need to disguise herself like in other places to prevent enthusiastic fans from besieging her.

At this moment, Gu Cancan and Wang Xiaoxiao were sitting in a small café on the campus of Beijing University, leisurely drinking coffee and chatting.

"It is estimated that there is no drama in the Chinese drama director department this time." Gu Cancan felt that the first attempt of Chinese opera was very bad, and he was still a little depressed in his heart.

Wang Xiaoxiao comforted: "No, with your fame, Chinese opera will not let you enter the retest." I don't think Chinese opera will let go of a famous and talented girl director so easily. ”

"That's not necessarily, after all, Chinese opera is the No. 1 art school in our country, and it naturally has a sense of superiority, maybe people will think that I am not high-grade enough."

"That's it, don't be presumptuous." Wang Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Cancan with her hands on her cheeks, and said with a smile: "If you convince yourself that you can do something, if it is possible, you can do it, no matter how difficult it is." If, on the other hand, you think that you cannot do even the simplest things, you will not be able to do it, and the Mole Hill will become an unattainable mountain for you. I believe that my Cancan is so good, I will definitely succeed. ”

Wang Xiaoxiao worked hard to cheer up Gu Cancan, for fear that she would be depressed and discouraged, she looked so cute at this time and wanted to kiss her.

Gu Cancan felt warm in his heart, and reached out to touch Wang Xiaoxiao's head: "Hmm! After listening to the words of laughter, I feel that my body is full of strength! ”

"Damn it, how do you feel like you're stroking your rhubarb." Wang Xiaoxiao felt that the hair on her head was rubbed around by Gu Cancan, and then looked at the expression of enjoyment on her face, as if she was obsessed with the expression of petting the cat, and was furious.

"Hey, hey, hey."

After playing with Wang Xiaoxiao, Gu Cancan was in a good mood.

……

In the blink of an eye, today is already the day when the results of the preliminary examination of Nortel's performance department are announced.

Regarding the results of Nortel's performance department, to be honest, Gu Cancan didn't care much, she took the exam, it was really purely to participate, Gu Cancan had no idea of learning acting at all.

So she didn't look at the results at all.

At this time, Zheng Shuang was squeezing in the crowd with her mother, trying to squeeze to the front.

"You girl, just disobedient, I said a long time ago that we should go to the play, if you don't listen, you have to come to Nortel for the exam." Zheng Shuang's mother kept muttering.

Zheng Shuang turned a deaf ear, squeezed over, and finally saw the big list with black letters on a red background.

Starting from the first column, Zheng Shuang worked hard for a long time, and finally saw his name in the fifth row of the fourth column, and the two big italics of "Zheng Shuang" were written on the red paper.

I passed the first test!

Zheng Shuang's heart was full of joy, and suddenly remembered something, so he hurriedly continued to look at it, and not far behind, he saw Gu Cancan's name.

Sure enough, Gu Cancan also successfully passed the retest.

Zheng Shuang was full of joy, thinking that maybe she could become classmates with Gu Cancan in the future and study together.

There is really a magical idealistic existence between people, Zheng Shuang has only met Gu Cancan once, and there is no in-depth communication, but she just has a very good impression of Gu Cancan.

In the past, Zheng Shuang did not have any good friends in various art schools and training classes, and people often bullied her, but after seeing Gu Cancan, Zheng Shuang felt that Gu Cancan had a special kind of friendliness towards her, and this kind of heart-warming feeling really rarely appeared.

Now that she and Gu Cancan have entered the re-examination together, she is really full of joy.

Zheng's mother finally squeezed through the crowd: "Xiaoshuang, have you tried it for the first time?" ”

While talking, I quickly looked at the list by myself.

"It's over." Zheng Shuang whispered.

"I'll just say, my daughter has passed the first test in the play, can Nortel still be able to do it?" Mother Zheng is still very proud in her heart.

Zheng Shuang stopped talking and began to walk out.

"Stinky girl, wait for Mommy. I'll tell you that you still have to go to the play, and the first thing to do in the next exam is to choose the play. Zheng's mother was accustomed to her daughter's attitude, and chattered after her.

"If I don't go, I'll be at Nortel. I like it...... Nortel. ”

……

Nortel's directing department first examined three days later than the Chinese opera, and after Gu Cancan finished the Chinese opera exam, he continued to apply for Nortel's directing department.

Nortel's preliminary examination style is normal, the preliminary examination is a written test, a comprehensive test paper, which contains all kinds of content, including social, cultural, and artistic knowledge.

There are a total of 100 multiple-choice questions, of which about 50 are from high school textbooks and high school reference materials.

Although Gu Cancan has been reduced to a scumbag, this is an exponential aspect of science. If she is asked to find a chemical reaction and solve an equation now, then she will definitely be cold.

But in terms of language and extracurricular knowledge, this is really difficult Gu Cancan, in addition to high school Chinese textbooks, she also has a wide range of extracurricular reading materials, and she has been reading books on director-related knowledge.

Therefore, Nortel's initial test is not difficult for Gu Cancan.

However, seeing some of the test questions, Gu Cancan felt quite painful.

For example, there is a question, where is the oil leak of BP?

This ......, this question came out, is it for the candidates? Gu Cancan complained desperately in his heart.

For example, there is another question that asks which of the following characters is not a party member, and there are three options: Stalin, Marx, and Grandpa Mao.

Gu Cancan felt that the teacher who asked the question was constantly tempting on the verge of death.

The way a filmmaker thinks is to be different.

After answering the question, Gu Cancan, who was originally full of confidence, was also nervous at the moment.

Don't play cards according to the routine.

However, when the names of the re-examiners of the Chinese drama and directing department were announced, Gu Cancan found that she had entered the re-examination in both schools.

It's normal, no matter which school you have, you won't miss Gu Cancan, who has already made a name for herself in the directing world.

"I'll just say that Cancan must have no problem." Wang Xiaoxiao was really happy for Gu Cancan.

"Ho, that's a must." Gu Cancan began to swell.

The order of the exams of Chinese opera and Nortel seems to be reversed.

The first interview for Chinese opera, and then the re-examination is literary knowledge and prose.

Nortel is the first written test, and the second test is the interview.

However, regardless of the written test of Chinese opera or the interview of Nortel, Gu Cancan passed the re-examination of the two schools smoothly.

This can make Gu Cancan's energy broken, his hands on his hips, and he wants to shout loudly: "Who else?" ”

Swollen and inflated, after the retest, there are still three more tests.

……

Gu Cancan is preparing for the exam seriously, and the day of the release of "Donkey Gets Water" is getting closer and closer.

In February, several blockbusters fought against each other, and other movies became cannon fodder, and in mid-to-late March, those blockbusters began to be released gradually, and the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies gradually decreased, and the film market after mid-March was much more depressed than a month ago.

It's no wonder that the audience's enthusiasm has been lost, and none of the new movies released in March can be played.

In such a state, "Donkey Gets Water" began to be tested in Beijing, Shanghai, Jinling and other major box office cities a week before its release.
