Chapter 112: Working for Beijing Film Academy! (Subscribe)

"Student Li Changhe, are you here?"

After entering the examination room, a teacher asked Li Changhe curiously.

My goodness, are you going to apply to Beijing Film Academy without the Peking University badge?

"Teacher, I'm not here to take the exam."

"My wife is here to take the exam, and I asked for leave to accompany her."

Of course Li Changhe couldn't say that he skipped classes, so he decisively asked for leave, but without a leave application.

"Well, well, I was wondering why you suddenly took the Beijing Film Academy entrance exam."

"But it's a pity for your image!"

It has to be said that Li Changhe is indeed good-looking. As a teacher, he can tell at a glance that this young man must look good on camera.

Except for one thing, he is a bit tall, which makes it hard to match him with actresses.

"Forget it, let them line up in front and take the first test quickly, instead of queuing outside!"

Another responsible teacher spoke up.

"You guys, go over there and line up first. Once more people come in, I'll put you in a group for the preliminary exam!"

A teacher pointed to the corner of the room for Zhu Lin and the others, where there were several benches, which were obviously prepared for the candidates coming in to take the exam.

Li Changhe walked to the corner with them and sat down on the bench.

"Changhe, I'm sorry. I just..."

Director Chen was relatively polite at this moment. Of course, it might also be because the person he was facing was Li Changhe.

After all, his current identity is indeed not worth mentioning in front of Li Changhe.

"It's okay, I've never experienced this before."

When Li Changhe’s identity was exposed before, it didn’t cause such a sensation.

Before this, Li Changhe always thought that being a writer was just that, not a star, so it was no big deal.

But the scene just now, my goodness, the attitude of that group of young people looks no different from star-chasing.

While the two were talking, a teacher came over with a form.

"Come on, all of you who are taking the exam, please report your names. Let's start with you, Zhuangzhuang."

"Tian Zhuangzhuang"

"Chen Kaige"

"Zhu Lin"

Walking in front of Li Changhe and seeing that Li Changhe didn't move at all, the teacher smiled.

"Forget it, Li Changhe, don't sit here anymore, this is the candidate selection area!"

"Well, how about I go outside?"

Li Changhe hesitated for a moment and asked hesitantly.

He was worried that the situation just now would happen again.

"The students outside are waiting for you to go out. What are you going to do? Well, you can help with some work. You are young and strong, and tall. Go and call the number at the door!"

The teacher said to Li Changhe with a smile.

Well, it’s so fun to see a famous writer student from Peking University calling out numbers for Beijing Film Academy’s admissions.

Hearing this, Li Changhe nodded helplessly: "Okay!"

Then he followed the teacher to the examination table, and the teacher handed him a series of lists.

"Add the names of Tian Zhuangzhuang and the other two to the front, and then call out the names of the groups of ten people at the back."

"You're with Teacher Qin, and you shout when he tells you to!"

"it is good!"

Li Changhe agreed.

Then, a short middle-aged man wearing glasses came up to Li Changhe and said to him, "Changhe, thank you for your hard work."

"Come on, let's start calling numbers!"

Then the two men came to the door, looked at the students queuing outside, and the man took out a loudspeaker.

"Now, students whose names are called, come to the door and prepare for the exam!"

After saying that, he gave the loudspeaker to Li Changhe.

Li Changhe, a tall and strong man, held up the loudspeaker and read out the list.

Soon, the first seven people on the list arrived at the door and lined up to go in.

But before entering the door, everyone looked at Li Changhe with surprise.

"Everyone, come on!"

Li Changhe smiled and encouraged them, then watched them go in.

Teacher Qin pulled a bench from somewhere and placed it at the door, then smiled and said to Li Changhe, "Come on, sit down!"

Li Changhe followed and sat down.

"You just said that the person inside is your lover? Are you married?"

Teacher Qin asked Li Changhe with a smile.

Li Changhe nodded: "Yes, we are married."

"Teacher, taking the directing exam has nothing to do with whether you're married or not, right?"

"It's okay, it's okay! We just don't allow marriages in school. As for those who are already married, we don't care."

"Besides, the country has already said that married candidates are allowed to take the college entrance examination. How can we possibly stop them?"

Teacher Qin waved his hand and said to Li Changhe.

Li Changhe nodded, but was thinking in his heart, although Beijing Film Academy said so openly, no one could say whether they would set some conditions privately.

"Hey, Li Changhe, have you ever thought about adapting your novel into a movie?"

At this time, Teacher Qin asked Li Changhe curiously again.

Li Changhe shook his head: "Teacher, to be honest, I haven't thought about it too much."

He wrote articles just to earn royalties, and then he was busy with the college entrance examination, so he never considered things like movie adaptation.

“I’ll consider it if I have a chance.”

The two of them were chatting casually, and when they saw that the time was almost up, they called the second group.

Judging from Teacher Qin's attitude, he did not seem nervous at all about Beijing Film Academy's resumption of enrollment, but rather it seemed like he was just doing a trivial job.

Zhu Lin and his friends finished the exam quickly and came out.

"Go rest over there. There will be a performance this afternoon!"

Teacher Qin said to Zhu Lin, Tian Zhuangzhuang and others, as for Li Changhe, just continue to help him with his work.

He shouted all day yesterday and his throat was tired. Today he finally caught a laborer, how could he let him go?

So Li Changhe worked until noon, shouting until his mouth was dry.

Fortunately, Teacher Qin was a very considerate person and he even knew to get him a jar of water so that he could drink when he was thirsty.

Otherwise I really can’t bear it!
Candidates have to prepare their own lunch at noon, and most of them bring their own.

Li Changhe and Zhu Lin also came with lunch boxes. They found a shady spot under a tree and just sat down when Tian Zhuangzhuang and Chen Kaige came over.

"Don't worry, Changhe, your work today will not be in vain!"

"Apart from anything else, Zhu Lin has definitely passed the initial test."

After Tian Zhuangzhuang sat down, he said to Li Changhe with a smile.

Li Changhe looked at him in surprise: "Why, is there any truth in this?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang nodded: "It's actually very simple. Even for your sake, Beijing Film Academy will let her take the retest. I saw her recitation this morning. Her pronunciation was clear and melodious. She must have received training, right?"

Li Changhe smiled and helped Zhu Lin explain: "She used to be in the art troupe, so she has a good foundation."

You definitely can't tell others about looking for a teacher.

"Yes, I can see that you have a good foundation. If other directing theories and other things are not too bad, then Zhu Lin will basically have no problem getting admitted." "What Beijing Film Academy looks at when recruiting directors is two things: the student's potential and the student's resources."

"Like me, to be honest, I think it will be no problem for me to get in, and Kaige is about the same."

"Because our families are all from the Beijing Film Studio, we have innate advantages. This advantage is even more so when it comes to filming. For example, Kaige and I are familiar with how cameras shoot, so we can shoot right away."

"Although this may sound a bit unfair, there is nothing we can do about it. The film school cannot recruit people who have no foundation and have to start from scratch."

"And for Zhu Lin, you are a resource."

"What does a director lack the most? It's the script. To make a movie, you must have a good script."

"And for a famous novelist like you, Chang He, every novel in the collection of novels you publish is, to put it bluntly, a script."

"With such a script library, as long as Beijing Film Academy is not stupid, it will definitely recruit Zhu Lin as a student. In the future, won't she be able to film the classic works you wrote at will?"

"Not only is she admitted, you'll see, by the time she graduates, all the major studios will be vying for her."

"Recruiting her to the studio is like tying up an excellent writer like you, a treasure trove of scripts that never ends. Only a fool would not want her!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang analyzed the situation to Li Changhe in a clear and logical manner.

Li Changhe smiled and nodded: "If you say so, then I appreciate your good words. If you really pass the exam, Linlin and I will definitely treat you to a meal to thank you."

"No, forget about the meal. I like one of your novels. When the time comes, can you let me shoot it?"

"I'll let Comrade Zhu Lin be the heroine!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang finally revealed his true intentions and stated his purpose.

Li Changhe looked at Tian Zhuangzhuang thoughtfully. If it were someone else, even Chen Kaige next to him, he would agree.

The main thing is that he is normal and doesn't waste the script. As for Tian Zhuangzhuang, as far as Li Changhe can remember, only a few of his films were able to be released.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Seeing Li Changhe looking at him strangely, Tian Zhuangzhuang was a little puzzled.

"It's fine for me to give it to you, but I need to see your directing skills before I decide. If your skills are too poor, I won't give it to you!"

Li Changhe said with a smile that although he didn't know how to shoot, he still had some skills in watching movies.

He'll have to go back and see how this guy took the photo.

In his previous life, he had only heard of Tian Zhuangzhuang but had never seen him.

Some entertainment novels praise him highly, saying that he is the first of the five generations of directors, and that neither Zhang Yimou nor Chen Kaige are as good as him.

Some also say that he is just a show-off and the directors of the sixth generation just inherited his characteristics.

Li Changhe did not judge this. If he returned to this era, he could see for himself how this boy shot it.

After hearing what Li Changhe said, Tian Zhuangzhuang was not angry. After all, the current Li Changhe was much more awesome than him.

"Okay, wait until the time comes and I'll show you my shooting skills, and then you can make a decision."

Tian Zhuangzhuang agreed immediately.

Chen Kaige on the side was also watching eagerly. He also wanted to ask Li Changhe if he could give him a novel to film.

But now Chen Kaige is very clear that he is not qualified, and it is still unclear whether he can be admitted to the Film Academy.

Afterwards, the four of them gathered together for lunch and rested under the shade of a tree, waiting for the afternoon exam.

In this way, it was not until four o'clock in the afternoon, when all the candidates in the examination room had finished their exams, that Li Changhe put down the loudspeaker and finally called it a day.

At this time, his voice was a little hoarse.

"Thank you for your hard work, Li Changhe!"

Finally, Teacher Qin patted Li Changhe on the shoulder, then happily left with the loudspeaker.

After a day of rest today, his voice has recovered a lot. It would be even better if this young man continued to come tomorrow.

On the way back, Zhu Lin fed Li Changhe water with concern.

"I should have known I wouldn't have let you come. Now you're just helping them with their work."

"fine!"

"Just like Tian Zhuangzhuang said, if I help them with some work and it helps you get into the retest, it's definitely worth it!"

Li Changhe waved his hand and pedaled back on his bike.

When passing by Peking University, Li Changhe did not go in.

In fact, there were only one class in the morning and one class in the afternoon today. The morning class was "Thoughts of Great Men" which he did not have to attend, and the afternoon class was an advanced mathematics class, which Li Changhe had already prepared for.

His math foundation was better than that of his classmates. Plus, there were two professors of science and engineering in his family, his father and his father-in-law, so he wasn't afraid of not being able to learn even if he missed out.

So he felt confident in skipping class today.

Li Changhe rode his bike directly back home, took off his clothes and took a shower in the bathroom.

He changed into some fresh clothes and then came out.

"It's still early, and we have nothing to do at home. Let's get some meat coupons and go buy some meat. Let's go to the courtyard and have a barbecue tonight!"

Li Changhe thought for a while and said to Zhu Lin.

Zhu Lin nodded: "Okay, let's go, buy more pork belly, no more mutton."

"Row!"

Li Changhe was too lazy to prepare beef or mutton as it was too troublesome to add seasoning and remove the fishy smell, and it was not as easy to roast as pork.

Then the two of them took the grocery tickets, went to the grocery store to buy some meat, and then came to the courtyard.

The courtyard was empty at this moment, and no one knew where Zhang Shiqi had gone.

Li Changhe didn't care. He opened the door and went into the kitchen, then took out the things he had bought.

The two of them worked for more than an hour, then the door opened and the clear voice of their niece Niuniu was heard.

"Grandpa Zhang, hurry up, I'm home!"

"Hey, why is the door open?"

She poked her little head in to take a look, then saw Li Changhe and Zhu Lin in the yard, and the little girl immediately ran in.

"Uncle, aunt!"

"Niuniu is out of school!"

Zhu Lin hugged her and spoke gently to the little girl.

At this time, Chen Tingting is no longer the little country girl. Now she wears a plaid skirt and has two pigtails, a typical city girl.

At the door, Zhang Shiqi strolled in.

"Are you here to pick up the child?"

Li Changhe asked Zhang Shiqi in surprise.

Zhang Shiqi smiled and said, "I was free and just passing by, so I picked Niuniu up."

Li Changhe didn't say anything either. It seemed that his eldest sister's family got along well with the old man.

"Come, let's have a barbecue tonight."

The cool breeze in the evening in June is perfect for barbecue.

After a while, eldest sister Li Xiaojun and brother-in-law Chen Aiguo also came back together.

Seeing Li Changhe and Zhu Lin in the yard, the two were a little surprised at first, but then they happily helped.

Chen Aiguo moved a square table out of the house, placed it in the yard, and brought a few stools.

Li Xiaojun quickly went to the kitchen and mixed out a few cold dishes.

"Changhe, don't tell me, your sister's cooking skills, especially these cold dishes, are really good."

At this time, Zhang Shiqi happily picked up a piece of pickled cucumber and spoke while eating.

Li Changhe understood a little at this time. It turned out that the old man was conquered by the eldest sister's cooking skills.

No wonder he even took on the job of taking care of the children. This is where the root of his feelings lies.

(Gone!)

　On June 6, the operations officer held a lucky draw in the group to give away Dianniang playing cards, mobile phone holders, key chains, and Dianniang notebooks.
