Chapter 110 Encounter with Zhang Yimou (Subscription Request)
When Yang Jie finished teaching Zhu Lin and came out, she happened to see Li Changhe playing with Yaya.
"Finished?"
Wang Chongqiu, who was standing by, saw Director Yang Jie come out and stood up with a smile.
"Well, let Zhu Lin go back and digest what I said tonight first, and then I will test you the day after tomorrow."
Yang Jie nodded calmly.
"Okay, then Teacher Yang, we'll leave first!"
Li Changhe stood up and left director Yang Jie's house with Zhu Lin.
After Li Changhe and Zhu Lin left, Yang Jie asked curiously, "Look at this Li Changhe, he's having a lot of fun playing with Yaya."
"That's right, I'm grateful to him tonight."
"I couldn't understand the homework assigned by Teacher Yaya. Thanks to Changhe being here, I was able to explain it easily."
"This Changhe, I talked with him, he has a lot of knowledge, and he can recite many ancient poems at will. No wonder he is the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Beijing this year."
Wang Chongqiu was praising Yang Jie, and his words and actions showed that he was very close to Li Changhe.
Seeing her husband's natural sense of closeness, Yang Jie couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
When Zhang Guangnian said that the child was a good person, she didn't think much of it at first, and thought that Zhang Guangnian was praising him out of love for the child.
After all, how much social experience can a young man in his twenties have?
But today it seems that the other party is really powerful, and this kind of person is worldly-wise rather than slick, and will not make people feel disgusted.
"Lao Wang, please apply for equipment this weekend. We will go on location in the morning, and I will apply for a studio in the afternoon to watch the film."
Yang Jie said helplessly to Wang Chongqiu at this time.
Wang Chongqiu smiled and nodded: "Are you planning to let her use the real phone so soon?"
"Okay, I'll apply."
Yang Jie smiled and said, "The young man is so serious, and the young girl is really serious too, we can't fool them!"
"In fact, in my opinion, Zhu Lin is the best actor. With that kind of looks and that figure, he will be a good actor once he is on the big screen."
Yang Jie said with emotion.
Wang Chongqiu nodded: "Li Changhe talked to me about this. The main reason is that Zhu Lin is old. The age limit for the Beijing Film Academy card is 22 years old. Even if he gets in, he will be years old when he graduates."
"Besides, it's not like a director can't be an actor, but there are not many actors who can be directors."
Seeing Yang Jie's surprised look, Wang Chongqiu spread his hands and said, "I didn't say that. Li Changhe said that."
"I think this guy really sees things clearly and thoroughly."
Wang Chongqiu couldn't help but continue to speak in admiration.
On the other side, after leaving the family compound of Director Yang Jie, Li Changhe asked Zhu Lin curiously, "How was it? Was it difficult to learn today?"
Zhu Lin shook his head. "It's not difficult. It's mainly about some commonly used professional terms. I've been in a cultural troupe before, and sometimes I've participated in performances. I understood some of the things she explained."
"The main thing is that understanding is one thing, but you also have to memorize it. I will continue to memorize it when I go back tonight."
"And I'll probably have to take a day off on the weekend!"
Zhu Lin is working now and has no weekends off, so if he wants to continue studying on the weekend, he has to ask for leave.
Because it was previously scheduled for Wednesday and Saturday nights, and Sunday will depend on the situation, but there is a high probability that I will have to take a leave.
"How about it, can I ask for leave?"
Li Changhe asked while riding his bike.
Zhu Lin nodded while sitting in the back. "Not bad. Actually, a lot of people are asking for weekend leave now. I heard that the higher-ups are calling for a holiday, so no one is in the mood to work on weekends."
"Besides, I've already reported that I want to take the entrance exam, so the higher-ups probably don't bother to care about me anymore."
Employees like Zhu Lin who want to take the college entrance examination must obtain the consent of their department.
Therefore, Zhu Lin’s registration could not be concealed from the health center. Of course, they did not delay the review and approved Zhu Lin’s registration readily.
To put it bluntly, if she can really get into university, it will be a good thing for the Institute of Health. At least they won't have to worry about how to arrange for this girl in the future. After all, she comes from a prominent family and is not an ordinary worker-peasant-soldier student.
"By the way, Changhe, don't you have to go to the Jingcheng Hotel on the weekend? Do you need to ask for leave?"
Zhu Lin thought of Li Changhe's "part-time job" and asked curiously.
Li Changhe smiled and shook his head: "I'm not a formal employee, why should I ask for leave! Originally, I said I would go if I have time, and I wouldn't go if I don't have time. It doesn't matter."
He had left some words for Wu Xiaoyu and the others, asking the girls to memorize them for a while. It would not be too late to start formal teaching during the summer vacation.
"That's OK!"
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Union Hospital. Li Changhe rode directly in and sent Zhu Lin downstairs.
"Be careful on your way back, don't be in a hurry!"
At the dormitory door, Zhu Lin whispered to Li Changhe.
"Don't worry, go upstairs quickly, I'm leaving!"
Li Changhe watched her go upstairs, then turned around and rode away on his bicycle.
He put some stuff in his bag today.
Fortunately, there are now major roads from Beijing to Haidian, making the ride smooth, and Li Changhe finally arrived home safely.
When I got home, Shen Yuxiu was still awake.
Looking at Li Changhe coming back late at night again, he frowned.
"Changhe, where do you always go so late at night? Why hasn't Linlin come home these few days?"
It’s okay that my daughter-in-law doesn’t come home these days, but my son also comes back late at night. I wonder what this young couple is doing.
"Mom, I've been accompanying her to study at a teacher's house these days. She's also planning to take the college entrance exam and is taking tutoring classes these days."
"Take the college entrance exam? Didn't Linlin already graduate from college? Why does she want to take the exam again?"
"Mom, you know the logistics of school. The workers, peasants and soldiers are so embarrassed right now."
"Linlin is now an idler in the research institute. If she is unhappy here, she should find a way to pass the exam and get out."
Li Changhe explained a few words to Shen Yuxiu.
Shen Yuxiu sighed. She was also in the school logistics department, so how could she not know?
There were originally some places for that group of students to stay in school, but now they have been reduced. Only a few places are left as a token of respect, and the rest cannot be retained.
Those children are innocent, but this is the era we live in!
"Well, what kind of school is she going to go to? Besides, can't she learn this knowledge at home?"
After Shen Yuxiu sighed, she spoke with some doubt.
If I were to take the college entrance exam, I would have two professors from two families and one from Peking University. Why would I need to look for a teacher outside?
"She can't learn the knowledge we have now. She has a background in the art troupe and plans to take the directing department of the Beijing Film Academy."
"I found her a director teacher from CCTV, and she is learning from him now."
"It's only been two months."
Li Changhe explained to Shen Yuxiu.
"Then I have to study for another four years. When will it end?"
Shen Yuxiu shook her head helplessly and returned to the bedroom.
Li Changhe didn't care either.
In fact, if Zhu Lin had really passed the exam this year, both of them would have graduated in 82, the only difference was that one would have been in the spring and the other in the fall.
Li Changhe and his classmates from the class of 77 actually started one semester earlier than the class of 78, so they will graduate half a year earlier.
He knew what his mother was lamenting about, it was nothing more than having a baby.
However, this year family planning has been written into the Constitution, and the capital has begun to promote it vigorously.
When Li Changhe and his wife got married, they received a lot of free birth control products, which they are still using now. Li Changhe had never considered having children too early. He was only 23 years old and was still a child.
Of course, this topic cannot be discussed directly with parents. This is a tacit understanding between the couple.
So since the old man didn't ask, the two of them just pretended to be stupid.
After washing up, Li Changhe went back to his room and went to bed early. He rode a bicycle more than 30 kilometers back and forth in one night, which could be considered as exercise.
In the following days, Li Changhe arranged his study and life in an orderly manner.
At school, I attend classes and read books as usual, occasionally learning some stock market and securities knowledge.
Li Changhe consulted not only Hong Junyan, but also teachers such as Li Yining and Xiao Zhuoji.
In addition, Li Changhe also paid special attention to a teacher, that is, the new teacher Lu Zhuoming who transferred from the Geography Department.
This Professor Lu is the son of Lu Zhiwei, the former president of Peking University. He teaches geographical economics, which is to study local economic development models based on regions.
The biggest advantage of this subject for Li Changhe is that he can conduct research in a specific area, such as Hong Kong Island!
You see, the theoretical basis for learning is here again!
As a result, there is now one more safety lock teacher targeted by Li Changhe.
On May 30th, Li Changhe accompanied Zhu Lin to the dormitory of Xiaoxitian Beijing Film Academy.
This is the registration office of Beijing Film Academy. This year, the registration location of Beijing Film Academy is very confusing, with different departments in different cities.
For example, there are four locations for admission of undergraduate students in performing arts: Beijing, Qingdao, Changchun and Xi'an.
However, there are only three registration points for directors and photographers, namely Beijing, Shanghai and Xi'an.
Xiaoxitian was the address of the Film Academy ten years ago, and it is actually not far from Li Changhe's home.
This is also the reason why Li Changhe and Zhu Lin are not in a hurry to sign up. They took a look a few days ago and saw a lot of people.
Li Changhe was too lazy to queue up, so he didn't rush to register on the spot and put it off until today.
Today, there were relatively fewer people, and the two of them easily arrived in front of the registration point.
First, I received a registration notice and an application form, which contained the admission brochure.
In fact, this year the Beijing Film Academy does not have a rigid age limit. For example, for undergraduate students in the acting department, the age limit can be relaxed by two years for particularly outstanding students.
That is to say, if you perform particularly well, you are allowed to apply for the exam at the age of 24.
Unfortunately, even so, Zhu Lin is one year older than this.
So, let’s stick to the original plan and apply for the directing department!
"Student, we have seen the work you sent us. It is indeed well shot, but at your age, it is indeed far beyond our expectations."
"How about this? You go back and wait for notification. We'll report it to the college and see what the college decides in the end. Then we'll tell you. Is that okay?"
Just when Li Changhe and Zhu Lin filled out the registration form and were about to hand it in, a teacher came out with a short young man.
He continued to persuade her tactfully as he walked.
Li Changhe looked over in the direction of the voice and was surprised to see that the man looked familiar!
After a closer look, it's OK.
Isn’t this the young Zhang Yimou?
After watching the young teacher go back reluctantly, Zhang Yimou sighed, then found a rock nearby and sat down.
Then he pulled out a rolled-up cigarette box from his pocket, took out a cigarette, rubbed a match to light it, and took a fierce puff.
"Please hand in your form first, and I'll go over and take a look."
At this time, Li Changhe looked at the young Zhang Yimou, said something to Zhu Lin, and then walked over.
"Dude, what's wrong? Didn't you sign up?"
Li Changhe squatted down in front of Zhang Yimou and asked curiously.
Zhang Yimou looked up at Li Changhe, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, mainly because Li Changhe was too tall.
Zhang Yimou is less than 1.7 meters tall, while Li Changhe is nearly 1.85 meters tall, and they don't look short even when they squat.
"Alas, they said I'm too old, so they won't give me the report!"
Zhang Yimou sighed and said helplessly.
Mainly because he was facing a tall guy like Li Changhe, he was still a little nervous, not knowing what this guy was doing approaching him.
"How old are you, bro?"
Li Changhe asked with a smile. He really didn't know how old Zhang Yimou was when he took the entrance exam for Beijing Film Academy, but he knew that he got in through connections in the end.
"Um, it's been 1950!"
Zhang Yimou lowered his head and said sullenly.
Li Changhe nodded: "You are indeed too old. I see that the largest directing department also requires 26 years old, and you are already 28."
"I'm not testing the director, I'm testing the photographer"
"photography?"
"Good boy, you are even more over the age limit. Photography requires you to be 22 years old!"
"Yes, I was just afraid that Xi'an would not accept registration, so I came directly to Beijing to register, thinking of showing them the works I shot."
"Did you give it then?"
Li Changhe asked curiously. He was really gossipy about "Master Zhang's School Days".
Zhang Yimou looked at Li Changhe helplessly. Why is this guy so annoying? He keeps asking questions here and there.
But with Li Changhe's head lowered, Lao Zhang didn't dare to offend him. He didn't know what kind of person Li Changhe was.
"I gave it to you. The teacher said that the photo was good, but you are too old, so it's hard to process. They said the school needs to hold a meeting to study it."
"Changhe, it's done!"
At this time, Zhu Lin had completed the registration and came to Li Changhe.
When Zhang Yimou heard the voice, he looked up and narrowed his eyes. This girl looks really photogenic.
"Okay, let's go!"
"Brother, I can't help you, but I advise you not to give up. As long as you persist, you will definitely achieve your wish."
"The school's rules are rules. Beyond the rules, we can still make exceptions for admission, as long as you are good enough."
"come on!"
Li Changhe finally gave Zhang Yimou some encouragement, then stood up and left with Zhu Lin.
He remembered that Zhang Yimou had tried to find connections several times and finally found a big shot who allowed him to be admitted as an exception.
As for what kind of relationship they used to find him, Li Changhe didn't know. After all, Zhang Yimou had just come to register.
He just saw this future celebrity and came up to make himself known to him.
"What, you know him?"
On the way back, Zhu Lin asked Li Changhe curiously.
Li Changhe shook his head: "I don't know him, but he looks quite old and still dares to sign up. I think he is quite courageous."
"I have a feeling that this guy will definitely be able to get into Beijing Film Academy!"
Li Changhe said with a smile.
Yes, being able to enter Beijing Film Academy does not mean being able to be admitted to Beijing Film Academy.
As for how the other party got there, Li Changhe didn't care and didn't even think about lending a hand.
He is not a big shot now, and he only has the resources of the literature club. It is a favor for him to let his wife use them.
Besides, in his previous life, Zhang Yimou, who was not Li Changhe, also went to Beijing Film Academy, so there was no need for him to show off.
(Not tonight!)
