Chapter 5 is out and passed the review
A few days later, although he had watched the film dozens of times and felt good about it, Chen An was still a little nervous.
After all, this time we want to invite some school leaders to watch it together.
No matter how much he likes his own work, Chen An is not sure whether he can satisfy the bigwigs in the school.
Especially the issue of my own subject matter. Although I have produced classic works, it is too early now.
I don’t know if the big guys today like it.
Chen An had been waiting in the screening room with the finished film for more than half an hour.
People arrived one after another and each found a chair to sit down.
Finally, Teacher Mu and Director Gan brought other leaders over and all the people were present.
"Get ready and start the screening." Teacher Mu came over and reminded.
"it is good!"
After seeing that almost everyone was present, Chen An started the screening.
The title of the film, “Carrying the Burden,” appears on the film, along with its English title.
It was "Father" that Chen An adapted himself.
Director: Chen An.
Then the film officially began, and the initially blurry and shaky images were played out.
Many people began to frown. Although they knew you were a freshman, you were studying photography. Is this how you take pictures?
As the video played, his frown began to relax.
Looking at the wife who turned into a zombie on the screen, everyone had different reactions.
Everyone knows this kind of thing, but the older generation is not as receptive to it.
However, Gan Quan, who was sitting below, smiled continuously, and Teacher Mu next to him was also very satisfied.
In the end, the male protagonist was shot dead by a sniper in the distance, and the child behind him was discovered.
The woman held her child and looked into the distance, while the man behind her buried this great father.
The film finally came to an end!
After watching the film, Gan Quan took the lead in applauding, and Teacher Mu followed suit, but some people still sat there and shook their heads.
"That's right, Xiao Chen, come here." Gan Quan, who was sitting in his seat, waved to Chen An.
"Coming." Chen An immediately trotted to him.
"This is Dean Liu. If he is satisfied, you can ask him to send you abroad." Director Gan said with a smile, pointing at a man with slicked back hair sitting next to him.
"Haha, Director Gan, you don't have to hold me back. This short film is quite suitable for overseas countries."
"Don't worry, Xiao Chen. I will help you contact the people at the Beijing Film Studio to send you abroad."
Dean Liu also smiled and patted Chen An on the shoulder.
"After all, he is a young talent from my school. If I don't help, who will? Don't worry!"
"Thank you, Dean." Chen An also quickly expressed his gratitude.
Dean Liu also stood up and said, "No problem, someone will contact you when the time comes."
"But even though this short film is well made, you can't fall behind in your studies. After all, you're only a freshman."
"Of course, I'll listen to you."
After the two of them finished talking, Dean Liu also took the lead and left the screening room.
Only Teacher Mu was left standing by and looking at Chen An who looked excited.
"Why, are you happy?"
"Teacher Mu, you are serious. I am so happy that I am about to fly!"
"You took off so quickly. How are you going to shoot feature films in the future? But I didn't expect your film to be so good. There is still a chance that it can be sent abroad."
"Thank you for your kind words!"
Chen An expressed his gratitude with a smile.
Seeing him like this, Teacher Mu had nothing more to say, so he reminded him, "Don't run around recently, and listen to my instructions at any time. If you can't find me when the time comes, don't blame me."
"Of course, we are your soldiers, ready to serve you at any time!" After saying this, Chen An saluted solemnly.
"Fuck off!"
"Okay~"
After the school broadcast, Chen An immediately found Boss Lin.
I showed him the short film and told him that it had been screened in the school.
The decision will be taken abroad for review.
If he is shortlisted, I will notify him and leave a copy for him to remind him not to leak it.
Boss Lin didn't say much, he just smoked a cigarette and left with his things. "It's done, whether I can make the finals depends on my luck." Chen An, who was lying on the sofa, breathed a sigh of relief.
He also lit a cigarette and started smoking: "I used my own money for the filming and purchasing. Although it wasn't much, it cost a few hundred yuan. After deducting the tuition and the money I saved before, I still have more than a thousand left."
"Save more and go home this year."
After thinking about it and finishing his cigarette, Chen An didn’t stay long and went back to school.
A few days later, Chen An received a notice from Teacher Mu that employees from the Beijing Film Studio had arrived at the school and needed to watch the short film.
The film will then be sent to the Venice Film Festival for review.
Chen An did not waste any time and immediately showed the short film to the two of them.
They finished reading it soon and took the copies away.
It was packed in a professional box and sealed, and then the group smoked a cigarette together and left.
Chen An didn't have much to do in the following period of time.
As usual, I did odd jobs for the crew at school and outside the school every day.
Not only does he take classes in his own department, he also attends classes in the directing department.
After finishing the directing class that day, I was caught by teacher Xie Xiaojing and slipped away.
"Are you interested in transferring to our directing department? I've been following you for a long time. Many times, there is an extra copy of the assignment I assigned. It must be yours, right?"
Chen An scratched his head embarrassedly: "I was discovered, thank you teacher for your cultivation."
"The assignments you submitted were all pretty good, and your short films were well shot. Do you want to transfer from the photography department? I can talk to the school about it."
"No, I'm afraid that Teacher Mu will chase me all over the school."
"Really? I see you really want to be a director. Wouldn't it be better if you come to our directing department?"
Xie Xiaojing was not angry when she heard Chen An's rejection: "Okay, you want to be Zhang Yimou, right? The famous director of the photography department."
"How can we compare? Besides, we all graduated from Beijing Film Academy, so we are all the same. Although I am not from the directing department, I am still your student. I learned directing from you."
"Forget it, if you don't want to come, then don't come." After hearing Chen An's words, Xie Xiaojing did not continue to persuade Chen An to let go.
"Okay, I'll be leaving first. Take care."
Chen An was also happy with it, so he waved and left quickly with a smile.
The shooting of the short film seemed to be a small part of his daily life and did not cause much waves.
As time passed, Chen An's university career entered a vacation period, but he still chose to stay in school.
But this time I received a summons from Teacher Mu.
Chen An didn't waste any time and went straight over.
"Teacher Mu, is there anything you can talk to me about?"
Chen An, who had just entered the room, asked Mu Deyuan who was sitting at the desk.
"You're going to stay on campus during the holidays this year, right?"
"Yes, it's a long way, I plan to go back during the Chinese New Year."
After hearing Chen An's answer, Teacher Mu took out a script and handed it to Chen An: "That's perfect. I have a job for you to try, learn from it, and help out."
Chen An took the script handed over by Teacher Mu and replied without even reading it: "No problem, I was just about to go find it, but I didn't expect the teacher to have found it for me."
"Well, you should save some money so that you can go home for the New Year. You should prepare to go tomorrow. I will call you later."
"And pack your things tonight. We are going to the northwest for filming. You can go with the crew then."
"Okay then. I'll prepare it right away and promise not to embarrass you." Chen An took the script and thanked him.
"Okay, let's go."
After saying this, Teacher Mu waved his hand and sent everyone away.
Chen An also turned around and went out, closing the door for him.
On the way back, Chen An began to flip through the script, on which were written two big words: "Song of Qin".
"Ode to Qin"?
Chen An tried to recall the name in his mind, but couldn't remember it.
He returned to the dormitory and started packing some things. Only after everything was packed did Chen An begin to read the script.
Seeing that King Qin Ying Zheng and Gao Jianli grew up drinking from the same mother's milk, and Gao Jianli's piano playing helped Ying Zheng overcome his fear of death, Gao Jianli was thrown out of the car halfway.
Chen An suddenly slapped his thigh and remembered: "The Song of Qin, played by Jiang Wen and Ge Da Ye! I remember it now!"
"I can help out with such an amazing drama, Teacher Mu is truly amazing!"
In my previous life, I mainly watched famous scenes and Xu Qian, so I don’t remember their names!
I started to regret it. The timeline was so long and I spent so much time looking up the information.
