Chapter 177 Talk about life and ideals
Lin Zixuan took his sister to thank Zheng Dongtian. The two chatted for more than ten minutes and talked about the film and television industry.
This is about relationship building. The Beijing entertainment industry is not big or small. Once the chat starts, there will always be people or things that everyone is familiar with. With these topics, at least you won’t feel unfamiliar.
Only then did Zheng Dongtian realize that Lin Zixuan was also a small leader of the Beijing TV Art Center and produced many popular TV series.
He is naturally familiar with series like "Desire" and "The People in Beijing in New York", but he didn't expect it to be related to Lin Zixuan. From this point, we can see that there is still a certain barrier in the film and television circles in China.
People who make movies all have a sense of superiority, thinking that they are doing art and TV series are not of high quality.
Although Jiang Wen filmed "The People in Beijing in New York", his view on TV series has not changed. If he does not have a particularly good book in the future, he will basically not be able to act in TV series.
Gong Li won’t act in TV series. After Ge You became famous, he also shifted his focus to movies. This is not only the high pay for acting in movies, but also the high status in the entertainment industry.
It can be seen that art is also divided into grades, and actors who can enter the film industry rarely turn back to perform in TV series.
Lin Zixuan and Zheng Dongtian are not familiar with each other, so they can chat for a while, so don’t take up too much time.
This time I came here mainly to decide what I was saying about, get an application form, and after the college entrance examination, I took my college entrance examination results to the Film Academy to submit the application.
The number of attendees needs to be approved by the department chair and the academic director of the Film Academy.
With Zheng Dongtian's recommendation, this is a sure thing. As long as Lin Xiaoling performs well, there will be no problem in becoming a regular in the second year. If she cannot become a regular in the future, she will not get her diploma.
After leaving the director's department, Lin Zixuan asked his sister to wait at the entrance of the Film Academy, and he went to drive.
At this time, the Beijing Film Academy planned very chaotic, with no serious parking spaces, and the carport was filled with students' bicycles, so the car could only be parked in front of the faculty and staff administrative building, not close to each other.
When Lin Zixuan drove back, he saw Lin Xiaoling talking to a young man pushing a bicycle.
From a distance, this man is not tall, slightly dark and thin, has a bad mental state, and looks very depressed.
This young man named Jia Zhangke is also a candidate of this class. He did not take the director department, but the literature department, because he heard that the literature department of the Film Academy is better.
This is his third year of applying to the Film Academy. His professional courses were good in the first two years, but his cultural courses were not good.
Jia Zhangke didn't study hard when he went to school, and his math grades were very poor. At that time, he was a local gangster, wandering around the streets all day long, and was spending time by watching videos and playing billiards.
However, he likes to watch movies and dance, and he is considered a literary youth, following the county art troupe and dancing break dance.
In 1991, Jia Zhangke, who was still scattering, was sent by his father to learn painting because his scores in the college entrance examination of art colleges were low, and learning painting was easier to get into college.
But he didn't like painting, but instead fell in love with movies and decided to apply for the Beijing Film Academy.
It’s just that his poor college entrance examination results made him fail the first two years. This is the third year. He ranked first in the professional courses in the Literature Department of the Film Academy, but he was not happy, and he was not confident that he could pass the college entrance examination.
He has been taking the exam for three years, and if he fails the exam, he will have to go back to his hometown to dig coal.
In that case, China may have one less film worker and one more coal boss in Shanxi Province.
Jia Zhangke has no connections in the Beijing entertainment industry, no way, and no source of information. After getting his professional courses, he will return to Jin Province to prepare for the college entrance examination.
Although I know that the hope is slim, I can only make the final attempt.
Just as he was riding his bike past the gate of the Film Academy, he saw Lin Xiaoling.
To be precise, he saw the application form in Lin Xiaoling's hand, and thanks to his good looks, he saw the words "Administer of the Film Academy". What is this?
Jia Zhangke held the bicycle's hand brake, braked urgently, and turned around and came to Lin Xiaoling.
"Student, please ask, what does this auditor mean?" Jia Zhangke asked in Mandarin with a hometown accent.
At this time, Lin Xiaoling was looking at the application form happily, as if she was looking at her bright future. She saw that Jia Zhangke came from the Film Academy, but she didn't suspect that this was a bad person.
However, the audience was not very nice after all, and it was not worth boasting. Xiaoling wanted to save face, so she didn't want to say much to a stranger, just blinked her eyes and pretended not to understand.
"Well, this class of candidates, I have been taking the exam for three years, but there is still no hope. I'll ask if this attendant can go in and listen to the class?" Jia Zhangke asked shyly.
When Lin Xiaoling heard this, she couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic. She had also taken the exam for two years. If it weren't for the reform of the film academy this year, she wouldn't even have the chance to attend students.
"This is the new policy of the Film Academy this year. Each class has an additional quota of attendees. You have to apply to the department chair and he agrees." Lin Xiaoling said quietly.
Xiaoling felt that it was not easy for this person to take the exam for three years, so she explained the precautions clearly.
Jia Zhangke listened carefully and did not want to miss any details. This is the key to whether he can enter the film academy.
The two chatted like underground workers at the entrance of the film school.
It is no secret that the number of attendees is within the film school, but ordinary candidates will not know that this is a flexible quota for the examiner. If the examiner really cherishes talents and likes a candidate, he can ask the person to apply to listen.
After hearing this, Jia Zhangke felt a sudden enlightenment, and he felt that his opportunity had come.
If he just returned to his hometown to take the college entrance examination, what was waiting for him would probably fail again. No matter what, the audience would be the same as the same path. I came in and learned first, and what I learned was my own.
At this time, Lin Zixuan drove over, Lin Xiaoling and Jia Zhangke waved their hands and ran over to get into the car.
"Your friend?" Lin Zixuan said strangely.
"I don't know him, I'm also a candidate, but I'm much worse than me. He took the exam for three years and asked me about the students. I saw it was difficult for him to tell him," Lin Xiaoling explained.
Lin Zixuan didn't care after hearing this. He looked through the car window and didn't look like a bad person.
Jia Zhangke watched the car leave. The girl looked like her family was in good condition, otherwise she would not have driven to the film school. This shows that what she said is true, and there is no need to lie to him as an outsider.
He was determined to get a quota for the attendees.
Jia Zhangke was the first in the professional courses in the Department of Literature, and the examiner was optimistic about him. This was his advantage. He pushed his bicycle back to the Film Academy and was preparing to talk to the department head of the Department of Literature of the Film Academy about life and ideals. (To be continued.)
