Chapter 288: Graduation Season
On June 16, 2009, a company called "Yiren Entertainment" was quietly established.
The establishment of the company is very low-key, so low-key that not only the media does not know about it, but only a few people in the circle know the news, and they all have a close relationship with Qin Muchu.
There was no opening ceremony, and in the era when Weibo did not appear, there was no Weibo statement.
Therefore, no one knew that the economic relationship of the fairy sister Liu Xiqian quietly changed, from [Chaoqin Muchu] to this [Yiren Entertainment] banner.
At half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, [Chao Qin Duchu] company.
At this time, employees would gather in the company's canteen on the third floor to cook, but today, they all gather on the second floor.
Watching the sign of [Chaoqin Dusk Chu Artist Department] being taken down and replaced with the brand of [Yiren Entertainment], as I don't know who shouted "Opening Daji", the employees who stood on the second floor shouted along, and then there was applause like a tide.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Wang, don't be so excited, the company's operation and management in the future will depend on you."
Sister Mi patted the shoulders of men and women, her tone was kind, but her eyes were strange.
Brother and sister, my company opened, I haven't cried yet, why are you both crying.
Hearing Yang Mi's words, the two post-70s tails, men and women in their thirties nodded heavily, and said in unison:
"Mr. Yang, we must work hard, become bigger and stronger, and create brilliance!"
“……”
Seeing that the two of them seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, Yang Mi squeezed out a smile and nodded to show encouragement.
Canteen on the third floor.
"It's delicious, you can taste it."
Liu Xiqian sandwiched a few shrimp balls and put them in several people's bowls.
She had said and done similar words and actions several times.
Zeng Li was originally a vegetarian, but under Qin Muchu's training, he also changed his habits and became a vegetarian diet and ate less meat.
Picked up the shrimp balls and tasted them, and nodded:
"It's delicious."
She looked at the almost full cafeteria again and said:
"No wonder they all eat in the cafeteria, I thought you forced it."
She touched Qin Muchu with her arm.
"Purely voluntary."
Qin Muchu had already finished eating and leaned back in his chair.
He is not like a few girls eating and embroidering, chewing slowly, and paying attention to the word "dazzling".
His crew's food is among the best in the entire entertainment industry, and the same is true for the company's canteen.
The ingredients are good, the dishes are diverse, the things are delicious, and they are unusually cheap.
With such a canteen, even company executives will go to the canteen to eat as long as they are in the company, let alone ordinary employees.
"Why are Mr. Li and Mr. Wang so excited about the company's opening?"
Yang Mi couldn't bear to ask, she didn't understand it after thinking about it for a long time.
[Yiren Entertainment] was formerly known as the [Chaoqin Dusk Chu Artist Department], not only the office location has not changed, but even the employees are all used in the original team.
It's just that the boss has changed and become her.
Is it because of my charm?
Qin Muchu thought about it for a while, and he roughly understood:
"Maybe it's because you've given them hope."
"Hope? What hope? Yang Mi was puzzled.
Qin Muchu shook his head and didn't explain much.
The artist department has always been the most irrelevant department in the company, and you can see from the floor where they are located, and the canteen is above them.
The status of the two directors and deputy directors Li and Wang was pitiful, and they didn't dare to speak in meetings, for fear of arguing with other departments.
The arrival of Yang Mi turned the department into a company and gave them hope for the future.
Alas, he is also a miserable person......
"Oh, say it quickly, it's an appetite!" Yang Mi pushed Qin Muchu.
Zeng Li and Zhou Huimin glanced at each other, although they were salted fish, they were not stupid, and they probably knew that Li and Wang were like each other, and they had to bear the main responsibility.
"Mimi, don't talk about this, it's a good business."
"Yes, we bring wine with water and wish Boss Yang a prosperous business."
Zeng Li and Zhou Huimin raised their glasses.
"It's a good start."
Liu Xiqian and Qin Muchu also raised their glasses.
Yang Mi was interrupted by this, so she had to suppress her doubts and clink glasses with everyone with a smile.
After lunch at the company, a few people did not disperse, not to find a place to celebrate, but to have something to do today.
Yang Mi and Qin Muchu graduated.
Yanying has a graduation ceremony at three o'clock in the afternoon, a group photo or something.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Qin Muchu, because he graduated early, and he got his graduation certificate and degree certificate a few days ago.
Out of low-key considerations, he didn't go to the graduation ceremony, and he waited for the class of 06 acting class to graduate next year to take a group photo.
Otherwise, it would be strange for him to run to take a graduation group photo with the 05 acting class.
But his girlfriend graduated, and he couldn't help but go, so he had to follow along.
Liu Xiqian and the three of them couldn't run away, and they were pulled by Yang Mi together.
"Remember to go to the auditorium on time at three o'clock."
Yang Mi repeatedly told her to go to her class.
Then Liu Xiqian's three daughters also separated from Qin Muchu, and they wanted to accompany Zhou Huimin, who had never been to Yanying, to visit the campus.
Qin Muchu didn't go, Yan Ying is such a big place, and it's a hot day, what is there to visit, it's hot to death.
With her flexible position, Liu Xiqian was not given the opportunity to seize him, and went directly to the auditorium, the place where the graduation ceremony was held.
This is the newest and most modern building of this 50-year-old school, donated by well-known alumnus Qin Muchu.
As soon as it was completed and put into use in early June this year, the school abandoned the original small auditorium and held some large-scale events here.
"Okay, didn't cut corners."
Qin Muchu looked at the auditorium and nodded, all kinds of facilities were available, especially the huge screen on the stage, and movies could be shown when needed.
Whether it is the scale or the grandeur, it is no worse than the venues of some international film festivals.
There were a lot of people in the auditorium, some of them were graduates who came here in advance to wait, and more were parents and friends of students who came to watch the ceremony.
Qin Muchu put on sunglasses to cover up a little, and found a place to sit down.
Still comfortable and air-conditioned.
Take out a notebook and pen from your pocket, open it and start writing and drawing on it.
The new movie is expected to start on the 20th.
This movie is very simple, there are no special effects, and there are no complicated scenes, mainly watching the performances of the old man You Benjian and Gong Li.
They have been "simulating father and daughter" for almost a month, and this month the two of them have been commensurate with father and daughter, bringing in the role.
Old Man You is more difficult, not to play the role of a bad father, he has a daughter himself, which is relatively easy.
Mainly to find the state of the character, he checked a lot of information, and even personally visited the homes of some sick people.
Father's perspective, daughter's perspective, confusion, suspense, reversal, family affection, aging, loss......
There are many things recorded in the notebook, some with illustrations.
These are all the inspirations that Qin Muchu has recorded in the past month.
In the past, he would draw a detailed storyboard for a comic book version of the movie, and he did.
But in the end, he still discarded the detailed storyboard and only drew a few rough frames, giving the actors more room to perform.
"Xiao Qin?"
A sudden call rang in my ears.
Qin Muchu raised his head, was stunned and recognized the middle-aged man in front of him, immediately closed the notebook, took off his sunglasses, and got up to say hello:
"Teacher Tian."
The Grange smiled kindly:
"It's really you, I thought I was mistaken. Coming to the graduation ceremony? ”
"No, I came with a friend, she graduated this year."
After thinking about it for a while, Grange Zhuang knew who Qin Muchu was referring to by "girlfriend".
At the premiere, he met Yang Mi, and the relationship between Qin Muchu and her was an open secret in the circle, especially Yan Ying.
It's just that the two didn't make an official announcement.
All the students in Yanying knew that there was a senior sister named Yang Mi, who soaked the best student in the school, and since then she has been flying above the clouds and ascending to the sky in one step.
The love and hatred between the two are widely spread, and it is said that the senior sister set her sights on him when Qin Muchu took the art exam.
As a result, there are always female students who go to the scene in the next few art examinations......
"Teacher Tian, what are you ......?"
Qin Muchu looked at a few young men with slightly excited expressions behind Tianzhuang Zhuangzhuang, who were still holding DV machines in their hands.
"Oh, this is a few students I brought with me, who just graduated today, let them shoot a video and do their homework."
Tian Zhuangzhuang said and called a few people to his side and asked them to greet Qin Muchu.
"Hello senior."
Several students greeted each other in turn, without shouting "Director Qin".
In school, being called a teacher, student, and senior is an unspoken rule, and it is also a means to get closer.
It's like Qin Muchu just called Tianzhuang "Teacher Tian" instead of "Director Tian".
Qin Muchu also knew that this was Tianzhuang giving a few students to broaden their contacts, and they all responded one by one.
They didn't shout nonsense when they called Senior Qin Muchu, according to the year of admission, Qin Muchu should be a junior and about to be promoted to a senior this year.
And they're all sophomores.
Not only did the acting department basically go out to take on the drama in the junior year, but the same was true for the directing department.
However, their "taking on the scene" refers to doing chores to the crew, starting from the most basic things such as scene notes and field affairs, while learning the sophistication of human feelings, while absorbing practical experience, and slowly climbing up to the position of assistant director.
If you're lucky, you'll probably make enough connections in your thirties, and then pull relationships and find investment, you can become a director and make a low-budget movie or TV series to test the waters.
If the response is good, it will be smooth and prosperous.
If the response is not good, then continue to be an assistant director in someone else's crew, waiting for the next illusory opportunity to come.
Many people only know that it is difficult for actors to get ahead, even if the Yanying Performance Department has an average of one session, there are not a few who can mix in this industry, and most of them have changed careers after a few years after graduation.
Actually, the directing department is more difficult.
Because the position of director itself requires much fewer people than actors.
A play may have dozens or hundreds of actors, but only one director.
If a directing student has no background, it is more difficult for him or her to stand out than an actor.
Most of them are graduates who have never directed a play in their lives.
The director's profession needs more connections and resources than actors.
The origin of connections and resources, except for a few families with backgrounds, is basically through alumni to help each other.
Therefore, several students had a particularly ardent attitude towards Qin Muchu.
"Xiao Qin, I heard that I will go to the school for a temporary job after graduation, what do you think of our director department?"
After chatting for a while, the grange was poor.
Originally, he wanted to talk to Qin Muchu about this after the premiere of "Inception", but when that incident happened, it was delayed.
I happened to meet it today, so I can't let it go.
"Eh, Teacher Tian, the performance department has already arranged a ...... for me" Qin Muchu politely refused.
The last time I came to get my graduation certificate and degree certificate, Mr. Cui said that the department arranged for him to be a teaching assistant.
"Xiao Qin, with your ability, being a teaching assistant is too wronged! The acting department doesn't pay attention to talents at all! ”
Tianzhuang patted Qin Muchu's arm, looking unfair to him, and suddenly changed his words:
"In this way, you come to our director department and directly become a lecturer for you, and our department will open a course for you!"
The eyes of several students from the director department next to him lit up when they heard this, Qin Muchu is good to be a teacher.
If you become a teacher and student, won't the relationship be one step closer?
The position of lecturer is indeed very attractive, but Qin Muchu is not the slightest moved:
"Haha, thank you Teacher Tian for your love, but my level is not enough to teach my classmates, and I am reluctant to be a teaching assistant."
His teaching assistant is to Mr. Cui as a teaching assistant.
Although Mr. Cui also said that he would let him transition to this position first, and then adjust it to him when the time is right.
But he is very satisfied with the position, and it doesn't matter if he adjusts it or not.
As Teacher Cui's teaching assistant, isn't it just Teacher Cui's words to help or not?
It's really like Grange Zhuang said that he had to go to the directing department, how could he have that time.
Tian Zhuangzhuang was not surprised by Qin Muchu's answer, and had already prepared his words:
"The level is enough, I read some of the papers you published, and they are full of dry goods."
He also knew Qin Muchu's concerns, and said:
"There won't be much time delayed in class, it's enough to teach a few classes a semester, and we don't teach in school every day, which doesn't affect filming."
Although Grange Zhuang was so kindly invited, Qin Muchu still wanted to refuse.
He is not yet old enough to be a good teacher.
The most important thing is that Mr. Cui has already been arranged, and he must be more inclined to his own teacher.
Just as he was thinking about how to politely refuse, a voice came, helping him out.
"Grange, what are you doing?"
Direct, decisive, and by name.
Qin Muchu called "Teacher Cui" mighty in his heart, and he had to run behind Teacher Cui very much.
Now you don't have to think about how to refuse, talk to Teacher Cui, if she asks me to go to the directing department, then I will go.
When Tianzhuang Zhuang saw Teacher Cui coming, his face was bitter and he began to have a headache.
Regarding Qin Muchu's temporary post, he had communicated with Teacher Cui many times before.
The ending is clear.
He wouldn't mind one more time, though.
"Lao Cui, Xiao Qin is your student, but he is also a student of our school, he is a waste of ...... when he comes to your acting department."
"What's the waste? The acting department is not as good as your directing department? In the future, don't come to us to borrow actors for your students' films, and don't look for actors for your future filming, go up and act yourself......"
The immortals were fighting over there, and Qin Muchu looked at Yang Mi and said curiously:
"Why did you come here with Teacher Cui?"
Yang Mi looked at the two teachers who were arguing without blinking, and the feeling of eating melons at close range was simply refreshing.
Hearing her boyfriend's question, she didn't look back and said:
"I went to the office to look for my teacher, and I happened to meet Teacher Cui, chatted a few words, and said that you are also here, and Teacher Cui will come with me to find you. And after a group photo in the department, Mr. Cui will also take pictures. ”
The quarrel between the two teachers attracted the attention of many people in the auditorium, and seeing that there were more and more people around, the Grange was like the previous N times - admitting defeat and retreating.
"Let's talk about this next time, Xiao Qin is the most suitable person to come to the director department!"
"Hmph, you try."
Teacher Cui snorted coldly, and at the same time took a diagonal step, blocking the steps that wanted to go to Qin Muchu.
In desperation, Grange had no choice but to retreat with the students.
And Qin Muchu immediately walked up to Teacher Cui and offered his ass with a smile:
"The teacher is amazing!"
"You, don't let people worry!"
Teacher Cui smiled and poked Qin Muchu's forehead, and then looked serious:
"In the future, I will have less dealings with Grange Zhuangzhuang, this old man is not a good person, and he wants to abduct you to the director department every day."
"Yes, yes, there must be less contact."
Qin Muchu nodded again and again,
"I am sure that I will not betray the organization."
"Flim Flam!"
Teacher Cui glared at Qin Muchu angrily, and wanted to say something, but someone called her over there, so she stopped talking:
"Okay, that's it, I still have something to do, remember to come to the school for a while to get started."
"Got it, but I'm going to start the movie in a few days......"
"Then the movie is over."
"Okay."
……
"This one, this one, ah, Sister Huimin, you look so good!"
"Sissi, you're so beautiful too!"
In the courtyard, the women are chattering at the photos on the computer.
After the graduation ceremony in the afternoon, Qin Muchu turned into a photographer and took photos of the four girls.
The camera is borrowed from the students of the photography department, and they also take advantage of the graduation season to earn some extra money and charge a certain fee to help students take pictures.
When I met a beautiful school sister, I didn't charge money, and I took the initiative to invite dinner.
It can be said that Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by.
It's no wonder that the Department of Photography has not produced a big director after Lao Mouzi.
Qin Muchu expressed his sadness.
"Qin Muchu, how about you take a look at this?" Yang Mi called out.
Qin Muchu walked over and took a look.
This photo is a group photo of the five of them.
All five of them wore bachelor's gowns and threw their hats into the sky together.
The idea was proposed by Yang Mi, and the clothes were borrowed from her classmates.
"Okay."
Because he is also in the picture, it is naturally impossible to take pictures, so he found a small color batch of photography to help shoot.
This photo is not very good in terms of shooting angles or composition colors.
However, they can't stand their good looks, so even if the photos that seem very unprofessional to Qin Muchu are surprisingly good-looking.
"Hehe, go back and wash it out and frame it."
Yang Mi was very satisfied.
I was just about to save this photo separately, when suddenly a news item popped up on my computer.
"Shocked! Qin Muchu is about to join Yanying and become a teacher of Yanying! ”
