416: Nie Leilei goes to school
Chirping...
With the sound of brakes, a red sports car stopped in front of the acting department of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Two young people, a man and a woman, looked young and young, especially girls, wearing the uniforms of Chinese University.
"Today is your first day of reporting, so I'll accompany you in."
It was Lin Yao who drove the sports car.
With his style and heart, he doesn't like sports cars that are too ostentatious.
But today is Lei Lei's first day of school, and her Cantonese is really not very good, Lin Yao is worried that she will be looked down upon by her classmates at school, so she chose 911 to come over.
"Okay."
Nie Leilei didn't think about it so much, she just felt that having a boyfriend with her was always a bad thing.
The two walked to the school together, and as soon as they entered the school gate, they saw the head of the acting department waiting here.
"Mr. Lin, we meet again."
The head of the acting department is surnamed Zhang, who is in his fifties and somewhat bald.
Seeing Lin Yao, he was very enthusiastic, not only because Lin Yao donated a building for their performance department, but also because of the wedding house that his son bought from the developer at half price.
"Director Zhang, Ling Lang's wedding banquet has already been held, right?"
"I held it, I originally wanted to send you an invitation, but then I thought that Mr. Lin was busy with work, and he didn't like this kind of entertainment, so he was embarrassed to bother."
Director Zhang said happily.
Lin Yao didn't take it seriously, saying that I'm not busy, you should send me an invitation.
That's not interesting, and people don't really invite you.
"Lei Lei, this is Director Zhang Heng, the head of your acting department."
After greeting Director Zhang, Lin Yao whispered to Nie Leilei: "This person is from a Huangmei Opera family, a famous teacher, and when TVB was first established, he also served as the deputy director of the opera department of TVB.
After the establishment of the acting department of Chinese University, I asked him to be the head of the acting department, and he has some voice in the film and television industry, and he is also the backer I helped you find in the school. ”
As he spoke, Lin Yao winked at Nie Leilei.
Nie Leilei didn't know what to say.
At this stage, the salary of film actors on Hong Kong Island is not high, and many newcomers from TVB training camps have a monthly salary of less than 2,000 yuan.
Those who graduated from regular classes are not much better, even if you really become a big star, popular to the point of Liu Dehua and Gu Tianle, you still have to perform chest crushing boulders or barefoot on the knife mountain during the New Year's celebration.
The status of an artist has really been raised and held up to the sky, which is after being in line with the mainland.
Prior to this, even in the past 2,000 years, Hong Kong Island TV was harsh on artists.
It's okay that you have someone to take it, but no one covers it, and you can play whatever the TV station wants.
Even Zhou Renfa said that TV stations in the eighties and nineties simply didn't treat them as people.
"Isn't it just going to school, and you still need someone to be a backer?"
Nie Leilei was a little ignorant.
"Actors, not only to act well, but also to have a lot of things in and out of the play."
"But don't worry, no one dares to do anything to you with me, and when you study here for a while, I will help you make a few good movies, and I guarantee that you will have enough star dreams."
Lin Yao didn't say anything deeper.
When this girl has been studying here for a while, the senior brothers and sisters in the department should tell her how difficult it is to film.
Take the acting department of Hong Kong Island Chinese University, for example.
It can recruit hundreds of students every year, including not only ordinary people with star dreams on Hong Kong Island, but also children of wealthy businessmen from Shanghai and Yanjing who want to become popular.
But after a few years, not even one-third of them can enter the showbiz after graduation.
Most of them, how did they come and how to go back, and occasionally they don't admit defeat, but they are just running around outside, or going behind the scenes, and you really think too much about being the leading actor and an important supporting role.
"There are not many students enrolled in this year, a total of 482 people."
"At present, there are ten classes, of which eight are Cantonese classes and two are Mandarin classes."
"I will divide you into a Mandarin class, most of the students in these two classes are from the mainland or bend, and they have to learn Cantonese at the same time as they learn acting, and the academic tasks in the first year may be heavier."
Director Zhang walked towards the school and told Nie Leilei about the situation of the school.
Ten minutes later, they came to the teaching building where the acting department is located.
This is the branch of the Chinese University of Chinese, and when the students were in class, Director Zhang took them on a tour.
At a glance, the classroom is full of sixteen, seventeen, and even eighteen or nineteen students.
Although there are more than twenty years old, there are not many, and nineteen-year-old Nie Leilei is relatively big here.
"There are two Mandarin classes, Class 1 and Class 2, there are more female students in Class 1, and the overall discipline is better, I am ready to let Nie Leilei study in this class."
Standing at the door of the first class, Director Zhang said to Lin Yao.
Lin Yao nodded lightly, it was the class stage, and there was a teacher on the stage who was talking about the performance of micro-expressions.
The students listened very carefully, and they could see that the learning atmosphere was quite good.
"Students are the easiest to gather and the easiest to be instigated."
"Although I am the head of the acting department, I still have to make it very clear that the opposition between the Mandarin class and the Cantonese class is very strong."
"Cantonese students basically don't play with Mandarin students, and some people even look down on students who can't speak Cantonese and call them hillbillies."
"As a director, I also want to solve this kind of discrimination, but unfortunately it is not optimistic."
"The senior students are better, because after a year and a half, everyone's Cantonese learning is almost complete, and the discrimination phenomenon has subsided."
"Of course, in general, the local students on Hong Kong Island still look down on the students in their hometown and Wanwan."
Director Zhang said with a helpless face.
At this stage, Hong Kong Island is the time when the economy is taking off, and everything is on par with England.
Not to mention the hometown and the bend, even the United States and Japan are looked down upon by them, thinking that the United States is a nouveau riche, and the island country is a dog of the United States.
"I will never allow school bullying to appear on my girlfriend, and I hope you can understand this."
"Isn't there a class leader in each class, and the school also has a student union and the like?"
"Privately, director, you can communicate with these representatives, which can be regarded as a precaution."
"Of course, I'm not going to do nothing."
"I think so, there is a good restaurant in Mong Kok, four-star, and it is good enough."
"It just so happens that I have some shares in it, and I can send an invitation letter to the school in the name of the restaurant group, inviting the students of the performance department to taste the food of our restaurant, and also asking the students to help promote it."
"What do you think, Director?"
Lin Yao didn't do this to show off anything.
But through this dinner, everyone knows that Nie Leilei is the person they can't afford to mess with, and they will not force Lai Lai at school in the future.
Female students in the acting department account for 70 percent, and there are more female students and more intrigues.
Lin Yao didn't want Nie Leilei to intrigue with people all day long at school, it would be too tiring.
"It's not in order, isn't it?"
Director Zhang was a little embarrassed: "There is no such precedent?" ”
"Whatever precedent, the road is walked by people."
"Director, don't worry, I will ask the restaurant group to which the hotel belongs to issue an invitation letter to invite teachers and students to the banquet in the name of publicity."
"I can't keep it, not only will I not lose money after this publicity, but I will make a lot of money."
Lin Yao didn't give Director Zhang a chance to speak, and said bluntly: "It's decided, I'll send the invitation letter when I go back, and the dinner time will be set on Friday of this week." ”
"This..."
Director Zhang looked embarrassed and wanted to refuse several times.
"Director Zhang, we are old friends, you won't give me this little face, right?"
Lin Yao asked rhetorically.
"No, I'm afraid the principal won't agree."
Director Zhang knew Lin Yao's origin, and he didn't have the confidence to directly reject him.
"Don't worry, the principal will agree, this is also for the promotion of the school."
Lin Yao smiled and patted Director Zhang's shoulder: "My film and television company is going to release three movies in a row recently, Director, you are an old-timer in the industry, go back and help me check the list of actors." ”
"Is this appropriate?"
Director Zhang showed a heartbeat.
"What's wrong, I've heard that you have a bunch of arrogant soldiers."
Lin Yao laughed.
Director Zhang nodded silently: "There are indeed a few good seedlings in this batch of students, who have the potential to become first-line stars, but there is no good script for them to practice." ”
Man is a social animal.
These students who came to study acting are not to become stars.
Director Zhang is not a saint who does not eat whole grains.
Among the hundreds of students in the acting department, there are always a few who are close to him, or have a close relationship.
He can't be without desires.
