Chapter 717
"Sister, you call me?" Liu Chen pretended to be a little surprised and pointed at himself. Tianlai Novel.|2
"Well, I called you, but I'm not a sister, you should call me aunt." Wang Lai had a very scholarly temperament, and his tone of speech was full of intellectual breath, and he said in a faint tone.
"No, you look a few years older than me." Liu Chen replied in surprise. It would be fine if you flatter a little bit. Moreover, Wang Lai does look very young, and it is not considered lying with his eyes open. Most of them are still admiring from the bottom of his heart.
As he said that, Liu Chen sat down next to her.
Wang Lai laughed and said, "My daughter is almost in high school, so where is her sister?"
It can be seen that women are in a good mood and are always happy when praised by others, especially women in their early thirties who are praised as young girls, which makes them even more joyful.
Then he said, "I see you running while memorizing. You are such a hardworking and studious child. Are you preparing to take the theater academy?"
"yes."
"You don't have a teacher's guidance."
"No, I can't find it, how do you know?" Liu Chen acted naively.
He had a good impression of it, and Wang Lai smiled and said, "It is useful to recite more mathematics, physics, chemistry, and English, and the learning of art is not enough."
The two started talking.
"Sister, my name is Liu Chen, I am from Qingzhou, I want to take the directorship exam..."
"Director, do you know what the basic composition of a movie is?"
Before coming, Liu Chen made some preparations. He was a top student with a strong memory and understanding. He read all the books related to more than 80 movies at home and abroad.
"The composition of a movie requires cooperation from six basic departments: editing, directing, acting, shooting, recording, and beauty. The most important thing is the director. The director is the organizer and leader of film art creation. The general person in charge of bringing film literary scripts to the screen. He is the person who uses actors to express his thoughts. His main responsibilities are: to study and analyze scripts with the main creators, find appropriate expression forms for the script, and be responsible for the artistic principles of the entire drama; to jointly nominate and recommend candidates for actor roles with producers..."
"Xiao Liu, I memorized the book well, but I got the direction completely wrong. I just heard you say that your cultural course is very good. If you study hard, you might even become the top scorer in the city. Why do you have to take the director department of the Drama Academy? Do you know that the cultural courses in literary and art schools do not take math exams? What a pity."
After asking this question, Wang Lai also stopped and looked at the young man in front of her curiously. A huge question in her mind was that she had never encountered such a situation every year. Most students who took the art school did not learn well in cultural courses, especially in math, which is required for liberal arts and science. This young man happened to be the opposite, and she was very curious.
Liu Chen's eyes were firm and said, "Mr. Lu Xun went to Japan to study medicine. He lamented that the Chinese people's thoughts were insensitive. He believed that studying medicine could only cure the body of the Chinese people, but could not change the root thoughts. So he abandoned medicine and followed the literature. Nowadays, movies are the most international and influential. A philosopher once said that he was studying for the rise of China. Although I am not talented, I abandoned learning and followed the philosopher to fight for the rise of Chinese culture!"
Why take an art school exam is a question that almost every candidate must answer in an interview, and the answers are naturally strange. I didn’t expect to hear such an answer.
Wang Lai frowned. This was obviously not the answer she wanted to hear. It was always because of the change. Mr. Lu Xun saw the insensitive Chinese people in the film when he was studying medicine. Now it is a peaceful era. How could there be such a big change? He was even more curious.
"Do you still want to shoot Chinese movies in the United States? Don't you know that movies starring Chinese can hardly be released in the United States and European countries? Even if they are released, they will be small-scale trials and the box office is very bad."
"Xiao Liu, please forget this vain dream. Drama Academy does not need to take mathematics at all. But your mathematics is the strongest. Go home and take the college entrance examination. Don't join the literary and artistic circle. Your ideas are too naive."
Wang Lai has always had a bad temper and is rarely serious. He has a good impression of this young man who has never been masked.
Faced with doubts, Liu Chen sat upright and chuckled: "In 1972, the movie "The Dragons Crossing the River" written, directed and acted by Mr. Bruce Lee broke the box office record of Asian movies as soon as it was released. It achieved amazing box office during the screening in the United States, defeating many first-class Hollywood blockbusters released at the same time. The new Hollywood kungfu film was born, and the word kungfu was written into the English dictionary."
"Do you think you are Bruce Lee? Look at the three best Chinese people in Hollywood over the years, Cheng Long, who have been playing tricks and funny kung fu styles. When she arrived in Hollywood, she was just a clown, making everyone happy; Li Lianjie, a master of the generation, was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and was upright. After she arrived in Hollywood, she could only play a short and distorted villain; after Zou Run, no one could cross the line after the god of gambling. When she arrived in Hollywood, she would only play a villain with a small role at most."
"You are still too young and too naive!"
"Sister, although I am young, I am not naive, and I have a sense of sharpness and determination."
Wang Lai couldn't help feeling upset and his temper also rose. He had seen too many unrealistic young people and shouted: "This really should be living in ancient times. I really don't know what I think in my mind. Don't study cultural courses and make movies?! Dreaming, it shocked the world. You shocked me a lot. This is no longer a dream, it is a delusion, a hundred percent delusion."
"Entertainment and movies are just about spending money, and everything else is nonsense. In the literary and artistic circle, dreaming is the most undesirable. You are innocent people like you, so you can't survive. Get packed up your parcel and go home quickly."
"Every dream should not be ridiculed. No matter what the result is, I will definitely be able to live up to my heart. This is enough!" Liu Chen's eyes were bright and he did not retreat at all.
Wang Lai was even more angry, "You are so strong, and you will suffer in the future. Not to mention those great ideals, you can't even pass the theater academy. It's just a waste of time. What art do you know? Do you think it's enough to memorize some books?"
She was really anxious and angry. It was really out of relationship. Liu Chen felt a little embarrassed. It was not for meeting Wang Wei. He really didn't want to deceive her. It was obvious that she was a kind and kind person.
"I believe that things are done by humans. As long as you are willing to work hard and endure hardships, there is no one who cannot do it."
Wang Lai was stunned for a moment, as if she saw her original shadow from the stubborn boy in front of her. She refused to let go of her principles, so she seemed out of place with her surroundings. Since she could not change the world, she would close herself and live in her own world. She felt very depressed.
A pain in my heart.
"Sister, are you okay?"
"There is medicine in my pocket, please help me take it out."
After taking medicine and drinking water, she calmed down and her mood was still a little wrong.
Liu Chen insisted on sending her home, but in the end, Wang Lai agreed.
A large house, at least 140 square meters, is very literary and artistic.
Wang Lai brought Liu Chen to her study room and said that it was actually not suitable, because the study room was too big and placed too many CDs, projectors, and many movie-related books.
After the two sat down, Wang Lai's expression was always very serious. Seeing that Liu Chen hesitated and couldn't help but ask: "I have a private question and I have always wanted to ask you."
"What? Sister, just ask."
"Your cultural course is excellent. Why did you change things all of a sudden and you want to take the theater academy?"
A trace of anger flashed across Liu Chen's face, half acting and half real emotions, and he started to speak quietly.
When I went abroad to participate in the Mathematics Olympiad, all six of us in China won the gold medal, and I scored the first place in the record, and I scored a full score. I was very proud to win glory for the country at that moment.
However, when communicating with American students, our three classmates rushed to introduce themselves, saying that their future dream is to study in the United States, stay in the United States, and get a green card.
At that time, American classmates burst into laughter and said, "What's the use of smart Chinese people with smart brains? The biggest dream is to get an American citizenship that we have when we were born. Your country imports our advanced equipment, watch our Hollywood movies, and accept our culture, hahaha...
That laughter is still so harsh when I think back.
Chinese culture has been eroded by Western culture so much. Today's students, who learn English, admire foreigners, and are trashed in foreign countries, can become teachers in certain English training institutions in China, and get the admiration and favor of students.
He acted like a man and used his bad mother tongue to blatantly cheat money. A large number of Chinese female students looked down on the teenagers in their country, but flocked to these fat foreigners who were full of body tastes, and was proud of getting to know a few foreigners and often had life.
While watching Hollywood movies, I said that my country would not be able to make "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter", which caused China's current lack of faith. I always felt that I was inferior to the West and was not proud of my country, nation, and culture.
Liu Chen was very angry and shouted in a deep voice: "I think of China, it is great, the towering China, the beauty of the clothes is called Hua, and the etiquette of the great Xia is called Xia, what glory is? Before Europe sailed, it led the world culture for thousands of years, but it could not resist the decades of invasion of foreign culture. This is conscious misleading, this is the most shameless entertainment invasion, boiling frogs in warm water."
"The equally brilliant Arab culture has gradually faded away, and the most fundamental conquest is the conquest of culture. And our China is already on the verge of cultural decline. Since we understand all this, my heart has no way to calm down. We are dedicated to reading the books of sages that I am good at and seeking a job that everyone envies. I cannot turn a deaf ear to and continue to live shamelessly."
The shouting sounds deafening.
After hearing this, Wang Lai looked at the young man with bright eyes. Unexpectedly, it was because of this reason that he imitated Mr. Lu Xun, hoping to regain the lost faith of the people and establish the dignity and pride of the people in culture.
A country, when a young man is strong, the country is strong, and when a young man is weak, the country is weak. If you cannot be proud of your own country culturally, this country cannot truly rise. Even if GDP grows high every year, it will be useless even if it becomes the world's number one economy.
The inner vibration cannot calm down for a long time.
Wang Lai also felt a sense of pride. He did his best to help the student. He calmly said: "Xiao Liu, your film theory knowledge is still solid, but filming is not theoretical research after all, but paying more attention to practice. I want to make a bet with you and set three levels of courses for you. If you pass all of them, in the future, whether you are shooting original short films or filming movies, I will find you an investment of over one million. And next year's Drama Academy professional course exam, I recommend it to the college so that you can avoid taking the most accidental first exam and avoid being directly wiped out by the teacher's prejudice. How about it?"
Liu Chen was very moved. After all, he was not a real candidate and felt guilty. At this moment, he made up his mind to support the local film industry in China as much as possible in the future.
"Sister, can you recommend it? Who are you?"
“I am a teacher at the Theatre Academy.”
"Ah! That's great. Sister teaches me, I...but I don't have much tuition."
Wang Lai stared at him and smiled and said, "No fee is charged. I won't tell you exactly what courses are. Moreover, if you fail the first level, there will be no courses for the next level. There is no three games and two wins. If you fail, it proves that you are not suitable for survival in the film industry. Then give up applying for the Drama Academy and go home to take the college entrance examination with peace of mind, okay?"
Liu Chen's expression was quite entangled. If he couldn't pass this, wouldn't he be swept out before Wang Wei came. He finally got a good start and accidentally walked himself in.
After lying to Wang Lai, Liu Chen felt very sorry. He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I promise my sister."
If he really couldn't get over it, he would give up the opportunity to contact Wang Wei and always do things uprightly. This time he had to do it, which still put Liu Chen in great pressure.
"So quickly? You won't think about it anymore?" Wang Lai didn't expect him to agree so quickly. "If you don't keep your promise, no matter how many years you take the exam, the Theatre Academy will not admit you, including other art colleges. I will say hello and will not admit you."
Liu Chen smiled and shook his head and said, "Don't think about it, I'm just for my own good. Opportunities are challenges. There is no need to get something for nothing in this world."
Wang Lai admired his courageous spirit. If she wanted to make a breakthrough in the film industry with strict hierarchy, it would be impossible without this energy, which made her more optimistic about this young man.
"Haha, then the first level course is very simple. What is a movie? Three days later, come to me." Wang Lai said seriously with a stern face.
