under fame

The dean of the film academy is quite old, and he was a leading figure in the film industry in the early years. He is extremely influential in the academic circle and the industry.Today's famous directors often talk about this old professor when accepting awards at major film festivals, and always thank him for his teaching, as if being his student is also a proud capital.Department of Acting is celebrating, this respected old dean rarely appears in front of the public, all the famous directors are also very supportive, they are all here, and the stars from the Academy of Acting are all sitting in a posture of looking forward to it and accepting orders from ear to ear .

Jiang Xiaoyu and Bai Rushui gossiped outside for a while, and when they entered, there was already a mass of heads in front of them.The two of them stood in the corner of the banquet hall, planning to leave after listening to the dean's speech.As soon as she stood still, a WeChat message popped up on Bai Ruoshui's phone. Bai Ruoshui glanced at it, then looked forward, and saw Qin Fan raised a hand. "Give us a seat." Bai Ruoshui took Jiang Xiaoyu's hand and walked towards the crowd, "Student, please borrow it. Hello, please give me a seat. Sorry for the trouble, thank you..."

The two men finally walked to Qin Fan's side.Bai Rushui secretly sighed that Qin Fan's brain is too active, he must have come early in the morning, and even took up a seat in the front row, the second row in the student area, looking forward, he could clearly see Lu Huai and the VIP area in front of him. The backs of the heads of other stars.Qin Fan handed over the mobile phone, "Look", Bai Rushui took a look, "Ah, didn't the teacher say that Weibo is not allowed! You commit crimes against the wind." Qin Fan made a booing gesture, "My little The account has gained 5 followers in 3000 minutes. There are so many people in the Film Academy, who knows who posted it." Jiang Xiaoyu glanced at the two, not quite understanding what they were talking about, and simply stared at the back of Lu Huai's head intently, thinking Ask, why this person has an aura that I can't describe.

On the side, Su Yang looked at the phone by himself, and heard 3000 fans coming over, lowered his voice and said, "Damn it, Commander Lu is really popular, and there are fans on the back of his head. It's so beautiful. Where can the back of the head be seen?" "Qin Fan lowered his head and swiped his comments again, "Blogger keep posting, please ask for more." "Blogger is a student of Film Academy, the speed is faster than the media, envy!" "Ahhh, blogger is leaving The commander is so close..." "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. "Su Yang burst out laughing, "Your Xuxu, Yang Zixu, he is not handsome at all." Qin Fan gave her a glare, "Does it have to grow up to be Commander Lu to be called handsome? Yang Zixu is handsome In the bottom of my heart, well, let’s go to his concert tomorrow, if I’m not crazy, my surname is not Qin.”

Bai Rushui tugged at the hem of the two people's clothes, signaling them to keep quiet.The two hummed, and saw that the headlights dimmed, and more than a dozen beams of light hit the central stage, and the two masters of ceremonies, male and female, straightened their bodies and stepped onto the stage.

As usual, the master of ceremonies read the glorious history of the film academy with full exaggeration, introduced the leaders and guests present, and then entered the first part of the dinner—the dean’s speech.

Jiang Xiaoyu looked up and saw the half-haired old man with silver hair in the center of the first row of the VIP area standing up, and all the VIPs beside him stood up and applauded. Although the old dean looked older, he was still tall and straight He is hale and hearty, elegant, and walks like an ancient literati in the movie.After the old dean came to the stage and stood still, the VIPs stopped applauding and sat down.

"Students, welcome everyone." The old dean's first words made Su Yang, Bai Rushui, and Qin Fan stunned. classmates.Jiang Xiaoyu hadn't held many conferences, so he didn't react very much. He concentrated on watching the old dean, and felt that he had the magic power to shock people on the spot as soon as he opened his mouth.

"The Acting Department has been established for [-] years. From the beginning, everyone was unwilling to be an actor and couldn't recruit students. Now we have to select dozens of people from tens of thousands of applicants every year. This is the development and change of the times. , It is also the result of many people's hard work." The old dean spoke, and there was an instant silence below, and the old staff of the college were quite touched.

"Students, you are all carefully selected elites sitting here. Many of you may be out of interest, or you may have seen the halo and prospects of this industry, but every year when the school starts, I have to first Splash cold water on everyone. In this business, there are many people who are famous, earn a lot of money, and gain both fame and fortune, but what you see is only the spire of a huge iceberg, and more people are buried deep in the ice water all their lives. This industry is cruel and difficult, and there are tens of 10 actors who are unemployed or underemployed in this city."

The senior students seemed to have heard this teaching before, and didn't react too much. For the four girls in dormitory 708, this was the first time for them to face the cruelty of the industry.Especially Jiang Xiaoyu, when she heard the word unemployment, her brain exploded with a "buzz".

"As the students who have been selected by thousands of people, you undoubtedly have some talents, and you may have good looks, but these are not sufficient conditions for you to succeed. Because acting is by no means a profession that can be easily successful, you have to face For thousands of judges, you have to stand up to praise, and you have to stand up to scolding. You will experience loneliness, depression and even despair. Whether you can be persistent, tenacious, and not willing to be mediocre, is just a matter of being a good actor The first hurdle. When you become famous, can you maintain a normal mind, avoid temptation, not play big names, concentrate on honing your professional skills, and maintain yourself in the face of success? This is more difficult than the first hurdle.”

The audience was silent, Jiang Xiaoyu seemed to see the back of Lu Huai's head nodding.When she came back to her senses, the dean’s voice came to her ears again, “American performance educator Stella Adler said that an actor is an aristocrat, and he must have a broad mind and a deep aristocratic aesthetic. Good, strong, noble, beautiful, happy aristocratic virtues. Actors are warriors, to present strength, to be strong, to have a soldier's inner strength, to have a well-trained heart, never to back down. A soldier is willing Actors must understand this commitment to sacrifice for their profession, and this is also the norm of acting."

Qin Fan was a little dazed when he heard this, and couldn't help but sit up straight. Su Yang finally put down his phone. At this moment, the freshmen of the Film Academy began to feel that they had embarked on a difficult and sacred road. The imagination does not seem to be very consistent.

"The acting industry does not tolerate any wavering. Being an actor requires strong belief, hard training, discipline, and determination, passion, responsibility, self-knowledge, curiosity, humility, intuition, instinct, and... can't touch Wisdom.” The dean continued to quote the performance theorist Jeff, and continued, “Students, I hope you will use this self-discipline from today, let go of unrealistic fantasies, study and train seriously, and don’t let this sacred profession."

A burst of applause erupted from the audience, especially the stars in the VIP area, all applauding excitedly, as if the dean had spoken their hearts.After the dean stepped down from the stage to take his seat, several famous directors beside him stretched out their hands to hold it.Su Yang checked Weibo and handed it to the other three, "Look."

The three of them leaned over, and it turned out that it was Lu Huai who sent a photo of the old dean delivering a speech, and wrote, "I am very excited to hear the dean's teaching again after so many years. Actors from the academy will never forget the importance of this profession." High requirements and sanctity, not much to say, honing acting skills is the foundation of an actor, and being willing to be lonely is the right way."

Su Yang flipped through the comments, "Look, the fans down there applauded wildly. They almost knelt down for this idol's spiritual awareness." Qin Fan took a look, frowned and said, "Not all of them, why are there still scoldings? .” Jiang Xiaoyu and Bai Rushui approached after hearing the words.Qin Fan read, "Hey, you're showing off your background again. Who are you satirizing?" Jiang Xiaoyu looked puzzled, and Bai Rushui explained, "This person is probably talking about Zhang Li. He and Lu Huai are competitors, currently the most famous young fresh meat with stiff face, can't act, and is good at hype." Jiang Xiaoyu half-knowledgeed, "Is this Zhang Li's fan?" Bai Rushui laughed, "Of course not, If this is his fan, how stupid would he be, rushing to say that his idol has no acting skills. Maybe it's a third party who is bored and provokes two fans to scold each other." Jiang Xiaoyu said, "There are people like this Well." Qin Fan said with a smile, "There are all kinds of people in the fan circle, I will give you a popular science later."

"Look at this!" Bai Rushui poked the phone screen with his fingertips.Su Yang glanced over, took a look, then raised his head to look at Lu Huai.Lu Huai's Weibo was reposted by Fang Ruolin, with a flowery emoji, and the text said, "Senior brother, you are very good, encourage yourself!" Fang Ruolin is not as popular as Lu Huai, and now Fang Ruolin is sitting behind Lu Huai In the row, he really leaned forward and whispered something to Lu Huai, looking very close.A few rows back, a middle-aged woman took this picture with her mobile phone.

"She has rubbed against Lu Huai several times." Qin Fan showed a contemptuous look, and said rather contemptuously, "She used to like to get close to Senior Brother Lu on these occasions, but I heard that she pushed Lu Huai a few times, I don't know why?" Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoyu frowned, remembering the "rumors in the circle" that Bai Rushui told her outside.Bai Rushui even booed directly to express his disdain.Jiang Xiaoyu whispered, "What does she look like?" Qin Fan handed over the phone, pointing to Fang Ruolin's recent selfie, "Look." Jiang Xiaoyu glanced at it and said in surprise, "So beautiful!" Bai Rushui Slightly raised his eyes to look at Jiang Xiaoyu, and whispered, "It's done. It's not as good as you." Jiang Xiaoyu didn't quite understand what she meant. After returning the phone to Qin Fan, she looked up at Fang Ruolin, imagining that the back of her head was What a beautiful face.

After the dean's speech, the next few sessions will be performances by guests, interviews with reporters, the Academy of Film accepting charitable donations from several star alumni, and a formal dinner.Su Yang, Bai Rushui, and Jiang Xiaoyu are not very interested in celebrities. Qin Fan only listens to Yang Zixu's singing, and most despises the half-hearted singing skills of the actors and seniors. Together, the four of them are ready to retreat for dinner.Jiang Xiaoyu was the last to slip away, and before leaving the banquet hall, he glanced at Lu Huai who was singing on stage from a distance, and felt that his singing was not bad, so Qin Fan would not be so disgusted.Thinking of the "fate" with her when this person came in, she couldn't help feeling a little hot in her ears, and quickly followed the other three who were urging her, and ran out.
