Chapter 172 Relax, all the directors at Beijing Film Academy are the same

Ning Hao, who had just finished filming his first movie "Thursday, Wednesday", which was shot during his student period like Chen An, had just returned to school.

I heard and saw constant popping sounds outside the school gate and fireworks and firecrackers being set off in broad daylight.

There were boards placed at the school gate and a banner hung above the gate. Ning Hao scratched his head, as this wasn't the case during the Chinese New Year.

Wait for someone to nail the red banner, on which was written a row of huge black letters:

'Warmly celebrate our famous director Chen An for winning the Hollywood Academy Award for Best Picture, becoming the first Chinese director to win this award! '

Ning Hao, who entered the school in 1999, is not the first time to see this situation, but last year they just hung a banner, but this year it is so lively.

But when I saw the Oscar for Best Picture, I finally understood.

Oscar for Best Picture!

As for my senior from the photography department, although he is still studying and has not graduated, I have never met him.

I could only hear legends about each other from my teacher.

Especially the director of the photography department, Director Mu's words "You are simply the worst class I have ever taught. Look at your senior brother Chen An!" are timeless!
"It's really true that comparing yourself with others makes you feel pissed off." Ning Hao couldn't help but think as he touched his round crew cut and looked at the banner above his head.

He was just feeling smug about the movie he had just finished shooting, but as soon as he returned to school, he was hit hard by this senior who was only one year older than him.

The security guard next to them was smoking as if no one was around. He shook his head at the group of students or other people staying at the school gate, saying what a fuss, what a lack of knowledge!

However, when I saw this familiar banner, I remembered the bad boy who once stole the vegetables I grew. It has been a long time since I last saw him. I haven't seen him since the past two years.

Although this was not the first time Ning Hao had seen this, it was the first time for the freshmen who had just enrolled last year to see this situation.

Because she was obsessed with "Farewell My Concubine", she traveled thousands of miles to Beijing Film Academy. Maeda Chie asked her friend Liu Yanan curiously:
"Yanan-kun, does it say here that our school senior filmed "Little Forest" directed by Chen Anda?"

"That's right, I've only heard about it before, but this is the first time I've seen this scene." Liu Yanan looked at the scene at the door with a little curiosity.

This senior brother, who I have only heard of but never seen, actually won the Oscar for Best Picture!
He asked the school to put up a banner for him. He said that he decided to apply to Beijing Film Academy after watching his idol's movie. He thought he would be able to meet his idol, but he never expected that he would never see him in school.

"It's really amazing! The Oscar for Best Picture is the highest award in Hollywood. Even the Emperor of Movies has never won this award."

After getting the answer, Maeda Chie couldn't help but speak.

Teacher Mu also heard the sound at the school gate. He looked out the window facing the school gate for a while, then turned around and looked at the newspaper on his desk which reported that Chen An had won the Oscar for Best Picture.

He couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. He sat back in the chair at the desk, picked up the newspaper on the table again and read the contents.

I couldn't help but think of the time when he first entered school. He looked rustic, carrying a sack on his back, but he didn't feel inferior at all, and his eyes were full of curiosity.

At that time, I won the Golden Lion Award for Best Short Film in Venice and was talking about winning the Palme d'Or or Oscar. I just smiled at that time.

Putting down the newspaper, Teacher Mu looked at the photo of Chen An and himself that he had taken when Chen An came back from Venice. The other party was holding the trophy with a proud look on his face.

Teacher Mu couldn't help but smile, "You really won an Oscar~"

Today, Principal Wang took a sip of the teacup happily. He was in a very good mood. He was about to retire next year, and this year Chen An gave him such a big gift.

Think about it, he will officially graduate next year, and by then he will have a double degree in directing and photography, so his graduation work will definitely not be simple. It will be a really exciting journey in this position!
But Dean Wang next door was not very happy. When Jiang Wen suddenly appeared, he was not only a great success in acting, but also people said that Beijing Film Academy had no taste and only looked at appearance instead of talent when recruiting students, which made the Central Academy of Drama gain a lot of face. The people from Beijing Film Academy could only accept it with a pinch of nose. Who asked the other party to come to their place first but was rejected by them? Later, when Jiang Wen's younger brother Jiang Wu came again

Although he looked like a bandit like Jiang Wen, he was still accepted.

Later, Jiang Wen directed, acted in and wrote a film called "Sunny Days" which shocked the industry and became a huge success both at home and abroad, and made the Central Academy of Drama even more hilarious.

It's not your situation, but the vision of the film academy is not as good as ours in the theater?
It would be fine if he was just an actor, but you guys have eliminated such a talented director.

It's so ridiculous that the film academy rejected such talents.

Colleagues are enemies, and both sides are the highest institutions of learning in the same industry.

What followed was the usual face-to-face attack on the opponent, but who knew that Chen An suddenly appeared.

The intensity increases every year, and he often has a bad face in various meetings.

He put up banners every year, first winning the first Cannes Best Director award for a Chinese-language film, then breaking the mainland film box office record, and then the Berlin Best Director award.

And there is no banner for the Berlin Best Director Award. What does that mean? It’s not the first Chinese-language film award, but you don’t care about the three best directors? !

Now, not to mention the box office, it won the Oscar, an award that is largely unheard of in China, and even won its highest award, the Oscar for Best Picture!
The familiar feeling came back, firecrackers were set off just like during the Chinese New Year. I was afraid that I didn’t know, are you still thinking of hanging the banner directly on the gate of my school?

It’s so deceiving!
"Bang!" Wang Yuanzi became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, so he couldn't help but slam the table.

The current Honorary Dean, Dean Xu, was unusually calm. He unscrewed the lid of the teacup and took a sip. "Don't worry, Old Wang. No matter how you think about it, you can't escape the meeting."

Fortunately, I am semi-retired now and don’t have to go to meetings by myself.

“They’ve even set off firecrackers, why don’t they hang the banner at the entrance of our school?!”

"Don't say anything in anger. If they hear it, they might really hang you up."

Dean Xu quickly reminded.

I think my time in office was pretty good, as Chen An stepped down two years after his debut, and it was now Dean Wang's turn, which was really a coincidence.

I really can't understand how such a monster could appear in the other school.

Not only is he far ahead of his peers, but even those who debuted ten or twenty years earlier are far behind him. Maybe this is what is called a genius.

Dean Xu was about to take out a cigarette and smoke it when he touched his pocket and remembered that he had asked his wife to take it away in the morning. He sighed and took a sip of tea before he started to persuade:
"Old Wang, relax. What are we doing? No matter what, the other party is a director. He still has to find students from our school. The directors at Beijing Film Academy are all the same."

With nearly twenty years of experience as an academy, Beijing Film Academy has produced many well-known directors, and many of them come to our school to look for actors.

I just want to make you suffer a little.

Think about the faces of their leaders when Lao Liu was still in power. Lao Wang, I wish you good luck.

Dean Wang lay down on the chair. It would be a shame if he was not the dean!
