Chapter 106: Teach Zhu Lin to liberate his nature! (Seeking first monthly ticket)

After school in the afternoon, Li Changhe rode his bicycle back home and took some steamed buns from the cafeteria.

He now spends more time at home, so naturally he eats less at school, and the food coupons he was given cannot be wasted.

Besides, his family no longer had his quota of commercial grain, so from time to time, Li Changhe would buy steamed buns and other things from the school cafeteria and take them home.

When Li Changhe returned home, Zhu Lin had already arrived home and was writing and drawing at the desk in their room.

"What are you writing?"

After Li Changhe entered the room, he curiously approached the desk. The first thing he saw was not the words on the desk, but Zhu Lin's charming face.

"Bah"

Without hesitation, Li Changhe lowered his head and took a sip.

Zhu Lin slapped him angrily.

"What are you doing? The door is not even closed."

"Let me see, what is it writing?"

Li Changhe looked at what Zhu Lin had written with a smile, and then saw the various requirements for performance and body shape, as well as the various majors of Beijing Film Academy written on the paper.

"I saw in the newspaper today that Beijing Film Academy has issued an enrollment brochure, so I made a note of it."

"I thought I'd discuss this with you when you got back!"

Zhu Lin said to Li Changhe in a low voice at this time.

"Do you have an idea?"

Li Changhe said to Zhu Lin with a smile.

"It's not that I have an idea, it's just that I'm bored at the research institute every day. I do some odd jobs at work first, and then sit there drinking water and reading newspapers. Those researches don't need me."

"Sometimes I think if I had to live like this for the rest of my life, I wouldn't be able to bear it."

Zhu Lin said somewhat helplessly.

To put it bluntly, she is now a idler in the workplace. Everyone seems enthusiastic towards her on the surface, but actually keeps their distance from her.

Come to think of it, in her previous life, this girl was transferred to film a movie, which lasted for several months, and the company didn't urge her or make a fuss.

If he is really a core figure of the unit, who can leave his job like this?

Generally, when a film crew borrows actors, they do so from units of the same type, such as art troupes, local theater troupes, other sister units, etc.

How could someone be seconded across units like her, from the health system to the film and television system, and then spend half a year filming?

This situation only shows that this person is insignificant in the unit and it doesn't matter whether she is there or not.

"So you still want to pass the exam?"

Li Changhe sat on the bed next to him and asked with a smile.

Changing jobs is very troublesome in this era, because all jobs are owned by the state and there is no such thing as resignation for individuals.

So if you want to quit your original job, there are very few ways, the most common one is secondment.

Seconded from one unit to another, but the focus of this kind of secondment is on the borrowing.

It is easy to borrow people, but it is difficult to transfer them. If you want to become a regular employee in the seconded unit, one way is for the original unit to let you go, and the other is for the new unit to accept you. This involves the issue of staffing quotas.

Secondly, there is another problem with the secondment model, which is that it is difficult for individuals to have autonomy. When you are seconded, you will be assigned to whatever position you are assigned to.

The people on secondment can only follow the arrangements from above and have no say over themselves. Otherwise, you will be sent back and sent back to where you came from.

This is also the reason why Li Changhe did not want to use the secondment method to help Zhu Lin escape from the health system.

Now, the college entrance examination has given many people another path with their own choices, which is to take the exam actively.

After passing the exam, the state will redistribute people and transfer organizational relationships. Most importantly, it will smooth out certain elements in people.

The advantage of this is that you will feel confident in your unit wherever the country arranges you to go.

Even the janitor dares to slam the table in front of the factory manager.

"I'm confused too. If I want to be an actor, I'm too old. If I want to be a director, there are some things I don't know."

"There is an acting teacher training class, the age limit has been relaxed to 36, and the duration is only two years, but I always feel that this is no different from the two years we had before."

Zhu Lin shook his head helplessly.

"Forget about the teacher training class. It should be a specialized crash course. If you are assigned to it, you can only work as a handyman in major film studios. It's better to go for a secondment than to take this exam."

"Actually, if you want to take the exam, you still have to take the undergraduate exam. It's more convenient to take the directing exam."

"Firstly, there is less competition. The number of people taking the director exam is definitely less than the number of people taking the actor exam, and even fewer people who really understand it."

"Besides, I think being a director doesn't affect your ability to be an actor. After all, a director teaches people how to shoot a movie, and the premise of teaching people is that he himself knows how to act, so some of the director's courses overlap with those of an actor."

“But if you’re an actor, it’s not that easy to become a director.”

This is not the era when the film and television industry will be liberalized in the future. Actors, singers, writers, and anyone else can pick up a camera and become a director.

In China today, there is still a huge professional gap between being a director and a film studio will not use real money and film stock to allow you to cross over and practice.

Directors are upstream of actors and can be downward compatible, but it is difficult for actors to be upward compatible in this era.

"But there are many things I don't know about directing! For example, I've never performed in this skit before."

Zhu Lin said somewhat helplessly.

"This thing is simple. I'll teach you. A one-person skit is actually a scene performance."

"Look, let me give you an example."

Li Changhe then stood up and walked to the door. He then changed his expression and walked over with a swagger.

"Xiao Zhu, go and fill my teacup with water!"

Li Changhe bossed Zhu Lin around in an arrogant manner, then sat down in front of the table with a swagger, then crossed his legs, picked up a newspaper from the side, and flicked it lightly.

After a moment, he slammed the table heavily and said, "This is outrageous. These people are parasites of the country. They are in key positions, but they don't work seriously at all. They just drink tea and read newspapers every day."

"What happened?"

Li Changhe was enjoying his performance when Shen Yuxiu walked in anxiously.

Then he saw Li Changhe and Zhu Lin standing there, and his brows frowned.

"Li Changhe, you have become more capable, right? You dare to slam the table at home?"

Li Changhe was confused at the moment: "No, Mom, where is my performance?"

"What are you performing? You're not an actor. You're performing at home. I'm telling you, stop showing off and banging the table at home. What do you want to do?"

Shen Yuxiu obviously misunderstood and thought that Li Changhe was arguing with Zhu Lin by slamming the table.

Seeing this, Zhu Lin covered her mouth and chuckled, then said, "Mom, you really misunderstood. We didn't have a fight."

"Changhe is telling me something, and then performing for me here!"

"Really?"

Hearing her daughter-in-law say so, Shen Yuxiu believed it a little. She looked at the expressions of the two people and it did not look like they were arguing.

"Why did you slam the table for no apparent reason? I thought you two were arguing. OK, then you guys continue. My meal is still in the pot."

Shen Yuxiu shook her head, then turned and walked out.

Li Changhe sighed helplessly, while Zhu Lin looked at him with a smile.

"Okay, that's it. One is to show the attitude of the cadre, and the other is to have some connotation. For example, mine is a bit ironic."

"Isn't it absurd that a person who works alone, drinking tea and reading newspapers instead of doing any real work, is criticizing and scolding another person who is similar to him in the newspaper?"

Listening to Li Changhe's explanation, Zhu Lin nodded, not quite understanding: "Now that you put it, I think I understand a little bit." "There are many such scenes. For example, you are in the hospital and you meet an emergency patient. You have to rescue him, and then act out the rescue process, and insert some unexpected events or changes in personal expressions in the middle."

"This is very simple. I will help you write more scenes and then ask the teacher to correct you."

"In fact, the real difficulty lies in one thing, that is, to help you find a director teacher to teach you some basic directing skills first."

"The second thing is to watch movies and write film reviews. I'll watch them with you and teach you how to write them."

"If you really want to take the directing exam, we have to hurry up. As long as you find a director to teach you the basics, I think the rest will not be a problem."

Li Changhe said confidently.

It’s not that he looked down on Beijing Film Academy’s enrollment, but after Li Changhe entered Peking University and became familiar with the school’s teachers, he found that there was too much room for maneuver in enrollment in this era.

Sometimes a single word can determine the fate of a candidate.

Apart from anything else, Li Changhe remembered that Zhang Yimou's admission to Beijing Film Academy was an exception. He was so much older than the age limit, and he looked for four channels before he was finally accepted.

There was also Gong Li, who was later known as the Queen Gong. She took the entrance exam for the Central Academy of Drama twice but her scores were rejected both times, but in the end she was admitted as an exception.

Of course, there is an important reason here, that is, the blacksmith must be strong himself. Whether it is Zhang Yimou or Gong Li, they do have the ability.

Li Changhe did not expect his wife to become a famous director or something like that. He just needed to use the Beijing Film Academy platform to help his wife get out of her current predicament.

Plan your future career in the film and television industry. When you have money and can enter the industry, you can become the emperor of the film and television industry.

Therefore, Li Changhe felt that as long as Zhu Lin mastered a certain foundation, and then he would find someone to push him from behind, it should not be a problem for him to be admitted to the Beijing Film Academy.

"Changhe, why do I feel that everything becomes so easy when it comes to you? It seems like you know everything."

Zhu Lin said to Li Changhe with admiration at this time.

She originally thought that the directing department was very profound, but after listening to Li Changhe's explanation, she felt that it was indeed not that difficult.

"There are all kinds of books in our school library. Sometimes when I'm tired of studying, I just read randomly. The more I read, the more I understand."

Li Changhe casually put the blame on Peking University's library.

This kind of question is because Peking University Library has a rich collection of books, and the more you read, the more you understand.

Besides, I'm a writer, so it's normal for me to know a lot.

"How about I sign up and give it a try?"

"Just apply. It doesn't matter if you don't pass. You're a freeloader in the company anyway, so it doesn't matter if you don't pass!"

Li Changhe gave Zhu Lin another bowl of poisonous chicken soup.

To put it bluntly, I'm already a free man in the clinic, so even if I fail the exam, my situation at the unit won't get any worse.

So there is no need to have any psychological burden.

Zhu Lin agreed when he heard it. Since it was already the current situation, there was nothing to worry about.

"Okay, then I'll sign up."

"Well, then I'll help you find a director and teach you the basic skills of directing. Then I'll go with you to learn."

Li Changhe said with a smile.

"it is good!"

Zhu Lin nodded and agreed.

"Then I'll teach you something tonight."

Li Changhe suddenly thought of something at this time and said to Zhu Lin in a low voice.

As soon as Zhu Lin saw his attitude, he knew that he definitely had no good ideas in mind.

"Don't try to do anything bad."

Zhu Lin said shyly at this time.

"What a bad idea! I tell you, that's the basic skill of a director, liberating one's nature."

"What are you thinking about?"

"Really?"

Zhu Lin looked at Li Changhe suspiciously.

Li Changhe nodded confidently: "Of course it's true."

"Changhe, Linlin, it's time to eat."

Shen Yuxiu's voice was heard outside, and Li Changhe and Zhu Lin walked out.

Then at night, after Li Changhe had taught Zhu Lin how to liberate his nature, Zhu Lin became angry and pinched Li Changhe hard.

What's the point of liberating nature? I knew this guy was not serious and I was fooled by him again.

At this time, Li Changhe was hugging his wife's soft body comfortably with a satisfied smile on his face.

Tonight, I was indeed teaching her about directing!

When it comes to finding a director, Li Changhe’s own channels are certainly limited, so he followed Liu Jianqing’s advice and found Zhang Guangnian.

Zhang Guangnian has been a veteran in the literary and artistic field for decades and was also a well-known writer in the past.

In the office of People's Literature, Zhang Guangnian smiled when he heard Li Changhe's request.

"Old Liu mentioned it to me a long time ago, and I thought you would come to me sooner or later."

"But for Comrade Zhu Lin, applying to an art school is a good way out. Apart from anything else, I think her image is very suitable for the film industry."

"After Lao Liu mentioned it to me, I did help you find some, and there really was a suitable old comrade."

"But, you didn't mention it before, and I didn't contact them. Now that you ask, I'll help you contact them."

"If the old comrade agrees to teach, that would be the best. If not, I will help you find other channels."

Zhang Guangnian had known Li Changhe's idea for a long time, so when Li Changhe brought it up, he gave him a reply.

"Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Zhang"

Hearing Zhang Guangnian's words, Li Changhe was really grateful at this moment.

Many people of this era do not have the bureaucratic habits of later generations, and they like to manipulate others at every turn.

On the contrary, some cadres of this era like to selflessly support and help the younger generations, preserve the old traditions, and pass on the torch.

After leaving the People's Literature Publishing House, Li Changhe felt somewhat proud.

"We ordinary people are so happy today!"

"We ordinary people are so happy today!"

Humming a little tune, Li Changhe came to the Capital Hotel again.

When he found Manager Qi and saw the happy smile on his face, Li Changhe knew that his business at the Beijing Hotel was a success!

It seems that today is really a good day, a double happiness!
As expected, Manager Qi took out a note and said, "Changhe, from now on you will be responsible for teaching our waiters English."

"I made a promise in front of the leader. You can't embarrass me."

"Don't worry, Manager Qi, I have already thought about how to teach you."

Li Changhe said confidently.

It’s just English, easy to master!
Li Changhe already had a plan in mind on how to teach these waiters English, so it didn't take much effort.
