Chapter 597: Xia Meng is facing going abroad
Ye Tian thought about it, for the sake of Julia, he could put all other work aside, and ensure that this movie was filmed well, so that Julia could embark on a bright future.
"Well, from tomorrow onwards, I will go to the set every day, even if I grit my teeth and stick to it for another month."
The big director smiled: "That's right, stick a knife in your friend's ribs." Since you've been cultivating her for more than a year, it's not too late for this last month. I'm going to cut a clip of the footage tonight and send it to my friends at the Spanish Film Festival so they can see it, it's the superstar I've discovered. ”
All this was done secretly from Julia, this is the genius of the great director, and he can't let Julia know how clever his performance is. must be emotionally calm, completely immersed in a play, and shoot one by one.
In order to celebrate the success of today's shooting, Jin Li specially ordered that the kitchen of the School of Communication and Communication set up three tables for the great director, gathered all the meritorious people together, and sent a box of good wine.
Ye Tian knew that it was Julia who should be praised the most today, but he didn't tell her.
At the wine table, the big director told everyone: "In China, we have to produce 400 hours of movies and more than 1,000 hours of TV dramas a day. How to stand out from this fierce competition? Then ask each of us to come together and know where the goal is when we shoot? Making a movie is not a one-person business, nor is it a separate thing for a certain link, just like a chain. When the camera starts shooting, this chain begins to turn, and every link must keep up, and the chain must not be dropped. If some people think that their work is important or unimportant, and that they can be lazy and cut corners, they are completely wrong. I hope that every link in my crew can stand the test. I used to make movies and I had a habit of reviewing them every day, so how was the day good today? What's so bad? Everyone knows that everyone is doing very well today, and they give me face. ”
Xia Meng has been sitting next to Ye Tian and was greatly moved, writing is a person's business, but making movies is a group of people's business, which shows that the work of director and producer is too important.
After dinner, Ye Tian sent Xia Meng home first.
Song Jian drove all the way to the villa area in the southern suburbs.
"I didn't expect Julia's performance to be so good, she cooperated seamlessly with the big director." Xia Meng couldn't hide his affection for Julia.
When he arrived at the Xia family's villa, Ye Tian asked Song Jian to go back, and then walked in with Xia Meng.
Xia Wenming and Sun Mei were both at home, and the two of them were discussing some things about the Faculty of Letters.
It turned out that there was a place for studying abroad in the Faculty of Letters, and according to Sun Mei's idea, as long as she could fight for Xia Meng, she would definitely fight for it.
Xia Wenming has a different opinion, thinking that the main battlefield of Xia Meng's work should be in China, first become a front-line female writer, and then a female screenwriter.
Two people came in, and the four of them immediately started a series of discussions.
Immediately divided into two factions, Ye Tian of course supports Sun Mei's idea, only by standing in a higher position and overlooking the global literary circle can he know where his direction is, and direction is always more important than practice.
It would be a mistake if Xia Meng was only satisfied with writing these novels. It's like what the big director did before, he wanted to translate Xia Meng's novel into a foreign language version and spread it.
If Xia Meng can go to Europe to study abroad and stay there for four years, he will be able to truly make his novels have an international consciousness and spread locally.
In such a discussion, there is no right or wrong, just for the sake of Xia Meng's future prospects.
According to Xia Wenming, he believes that Xia Meng can stand out among the young female authors in China at present.
Sun Mei immediately asked: "Even if you stand out among Chinese writers, how young will you have to be to catch up with Rowling?" ”
Xia Wenming said honestly: "It's a long time, maybe there will never be a chance to reach that height." ”
Sun Mei nodded: "That's right, since this road is impassable, we have to take another path." ”
This is also Ye Tian's idea, if a road doesn't work, and if you can see where the head of the dead end is, then quickly turn around and find an easier way to go.
Although Xia Meng has a very rising momentum now, if he can't seize the opportunity, he will soon be surpassed by others.
There is never a shortage of talent in China, especially among the younger generation, and a large number of mature authors can emerge within a few years.
As the old Chinese saying goes, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach, which is absolutely a true portrayal, and this is true in any industry.
Xia Meng stood on Xia Wenming's side, and she believed that since she was a Chinese author, she had to draw nutrients from the Chinese soil in order to improve her writing level.
Ye Tian pointed out sharply: "Xia Meng, if you are immersed in the same soil for a long time to write, it will not form a new breakthrough, but will become a routine and inertia. If you think about it, the works you have written so far have not gone beyond the theme of rural teaching, and the soil here is very shallow, and even if you dig deeper, it is only ten or twenty steps. If you can now have an international perspective, stand on the height of global literature, and start polishing your work again, you will find that pity for our Chinese peasants and Chinese mountain children is only part of a narrow cause. If you could look at Africa and see the kids in the deserts, you would know which direction you should be pursuing. If you want to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, you still have a lot to learn, and now that you have a strong memory and a strong motivation to learn, you must go out. ”
The views of the two sides were diametrically opposed, and neither could convince the other, and after more than two hours of discussion, it was still difficult to distinguish between the two sides.
The competition for this public study abroad quota is very fierce, and they have to make a decision today, submit the form tomorrow, and proceed in full swing. Otherwise, I don't know how many teachers are staring, and the opportunity is fleeting.
Sun Mei boiled rock sugar pear water, served it to everyone, and discussed it while drinking sugar water.
Now the focus of the matter is completely clear, and that is to go abroad or stay at home.
In the past, Xia Wenming had a point of view, wait until Xia Meng, graduate school, or work for a period of time, and then take the foreign doctorate examination and choose the direction of further study.
That is, when you are about thirty years old, you will think about going abroad.
Now there is such a great opportunity, catch up with one step, and the road ahead will become infinitely broad.
"What if you don't go abroad?" Xia Meng asked his own question.
This question is easy to answer, the associate dean of the Faculty of Arts will work for another two or three years, and after graduating from graduate school, he will choose a doctoral direction, fall in love, get married, and have children, which can only be the case.
Now that the parents have met, the discussion becomes more direct.
Last time, Liu Ping even told Sun Mei that she would let the two children get married early, and give birth to children while they were young. Now that the country's policy is liberalized, you can also have a second child.
This kind of life is what the elderly want to see, but the young people don't like.
Ye Tian told Xia Meng with a smile: "You don't want to go abroad, the real reason is that you feel that you are not sure about life abroad?" Is it a new challenge for you to study Western literature? ”
They are bosom friends, so he sees the most accurately, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.
Xia Meng nodded: "That's true, I have been studying Chinese literature for a long time, and under the influence of my father, I feel that I have a backer." Once you enter the environment of Western literature, it is quite troublesome to start from scratch, which is indeed a headache. What's more, over the years, I have read a lot of Chinese classical literature, but I have been exposed to relatively few Western works. ”
Xia Wenming added: "I have always advocated that Chinese learn Chinese literature and not be misled by imported products. Western literature, after being translated, has become unrecognizable. You can't even appreciate the subtleties of the original English books unless you read them. ”
Ye Tian immediately told the father and daughter: "This time I went abroad, just when I let you get in touch with the original works of Western literature. Heaven has placed the opportunity here, if you don't move forward, when will you wait? Xia Meng, the highest dream of a writer is to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, and he must write bilingually to achieve that point. I feel that this is a critical period in your life, and if you feel that it is troublesome for you to study abroad alone, I can accompany you. If you go for four years, I will accompany you for four years. can even let Aunt Sun and Uncle Xia retire early, and the whole family will go out to study. Everyone is still together, in this case, do you have no worries? ”
This is a ruined practice, which is equivalent to everyone sacrificing their careers for Xia Meng's study abroad, and all of them are her background board.
This, of course, is undesirable and is not necessary to be too extreme.
The four of them fell silent and thought about what Ye Tian had said.
It wasn't until five o'clock in the morning that the four of them came to an agreement.
First of all, you have to fill out the form and apply for it, and do your best to fight for the quota of this official assignment. Secondly, actively prepare and adapt to the environment abroad.
With the current financial resources of the Xia family, it will definitely be able to support Xia Meng's four-year tuition fees abroad, as well as various expenses needed for development. For Ye Tian, this is even more of a drop in the bucket.
Third, Xia Meng hurriedly began to tutor English and the ability to live independently. It is impossible for others to interrupt their careers for her to go abroad. She can only work her own, and others can go abroad to visit her.
This is the wisest decision, a great opportunity, and must not be missed.
During the discussion, Ye Tian also thought that Xia Meng's departure from China would be a major test for the relationship between the two.
If you just fancy the love of little children, then you will not let her go abroad, but keep her by your side and live a life of wife and children.
Five years after being reborn, he will definitely not stop there. Instead, I hope that Xia Meng can go one step further, aiming at the dream of Chinese writers and going for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Similarly, he will also make a splash on the side of Wolong Mountain and become the greatest figure in Jinling. Such a life is worthy of being born again.
The family of four all stayed up all night.
At eight o'clock in the morning, after breakfast, go your separate ways.
Ye Tian returned to the School of Communication, followed the crew's car, and still went to the filming site.
He sat behind the monitor and took a nap, but he had done his part.
As long as he is here, Julia will perform very well, no matter how difficult the scene is, it will be a straightforward one.
The big director has made so many films, and it is the first time I have encountered such an obedient female number one.
