Back to the Republic of China as a director

After the Ministry of Education completed the process, it officially approved the allocation of funds to establish the Huaxia Drama University. The school is located in Beijing, and the Shanghai branch will open next year.There are departments of opera, drama, film, director, performance, drama literature, stage art, etc., and a school theater troupe will be established. At that time, the model of learning while acting will be implemented.

The school formally recruits students from the society, and needs to interview one by one, and attach a special message. The school sets up scholarships and subsidies for poor students.

At the same time, the Liyuan Public Welfare Association, the Shanghai New Drama Association, and the newly established Shanghai Film School also donated money to express their support. This part of the donation was used to establish a student creation fund.

Ji Shuangyu was originally the first president of the Drama University, but Ji Shuangyu felt that he would not have so much time to concentrate on teaching and filming when he was in an administrative position, so he was only willing to take the title of vice-principal.

The post of principal is held by Mr. Liu Jinzi, the head teacher of a well-known old class in Beijing and a famous actress from a family. The old man has led the class for so many years, so he is an expert.

Mr. Liu shook hands with Ji Shuangyu, and he was quite embarrassed. Ji Shuangyu was the one who led the group and even built the teaching framework, but he picked the peaches in the end.

"I'm sorry for your troubles. I only care about teaching. Of course, you can come to me if you need money for investment in the future." Ji Shuangyu said with a smile.

Old Liu: "..."

The Ministry of Education not only allocated funds, but also approved the land as the school site. It was a royal residence in the former dynasty. They built the school buildings and classrooms, and just bought some tables, chairs, dormitory beds, teaching aids, etc. They can move in directly after the enrollment is completed.

Ji Shuangyu also signed the letter of appointment together with Mr. Liu - the teachers invited by Ji Shuangyu himself were sent by him.Ji Shuangyu had to personally deliver the letters to some people of high morals and prestige.

After the two signed the letter of appointment, they took the official seal and stamped each sheet together.

"Hehe, the Year of the Crane hasn't gotten married yet, right?" Elder Liu asked, "You are not young anymore, and your siblings are still young, why don't you marry a monogamous house and take care of the housework for you?"

A figure flashed in Ji Shuangyu's mind, and he said with a dry smile, "Nowadays, girls also want to pursue their own careers, so why come to my house to take care of housework. Hey, you see, we have quite a few female students who signed up this time!"

The interruption failed, but Mr. Liu was not affected, and directly went back to the previous topic: "There are still old-fashioned women! We are traveling in Liyuan, but there are many interested ones."

He thought that Ji Shuangyu was also his own, so he shouldn't despise the Liyuan children. Many people really liked Ji Shuangyu, knowing that they worked together, and asked him to inquire.

Ji Shuangyu had no choice but to order directly, and he stood up, pretending.

Old Liu: "??"

Ji Shuangyu turned around abruptly, leaning on the window and said in a dramatic voice: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Liu, the juniors don't want to live anymore! Only when I am on the verge of death can I have inspiration! If there is no inspiration, no family, freehand, realistic, can do anything. Like the walking dead, there is no soul! The soul can only be seen at the edge of life and death!"

Old Liu: "..."

This is so frightening, how to search for inspiration... Are you geniuses so sensitive?

And when he speaks, he speaks, so how can he still resonate with his head.

Mr. Liu quickly stood up and forced Ji Shuangyu to sit down, away from the window.

"It can't be like this, we just started running the school, you have to take the responsibility of passing on your skills! You can't be busy!"

Ji Shuangyu: "Yes, yes, yes."

Elder Liu of the old school sighed: "There is no rush to get married or not. Hey, if there are descendants, you will not marry and have no children. After a hundred years, there will still be disciples and grandchildren who will remember you and burn incense and paper for you."

Ji Shuangyu: "...No need."

Forewarning you, paper burning will no longer be allowed in the Qingming Festival a hundred years later!

It's still a hundred years old, and I'm a post-[-]s generation. Where can my grandson be older than me...

……

The entrance examination for Huaxia Drama University is in full swing. Anyone under the age of 45 can apply. The social response is even more enthusiastic than everyone imagined. People from all over Shanghai have signed up, because they can't wait for the branch school in Shanghai to open.

In the end, more than [-] students were recruited for the first cohort, which may not be enough for a department in modern times, but it is quite large now.After all, they mainly train professionals.

The most registered ones belong to the actors.It doesn't matter whether it's opera, drama or movie actors, there are more than one actor, and many of them are here for Ji Shuangyu.

After all, Ji Shuangyu won a star in a play, and this alone made the students flock to it, and even gave up going to Shanghai, which is the center of the film.

Among them, the director department, which is also presided over by Ji Shuangyu, has the least number of people recruited. One is that the base is not large, and most people will choose choreography, which sounds more practical.Many people could not answer Ji Shuangyu's written test questions.

The questions given by Ji Shuangyu can't be said to be difficult. They mainly only test domestic history, market, and technology, and a few additional questions are more in-depth and broad... It's just a comparison.But because everyone has not received systematic education in this area, they all fight for each other.

In the end, only 30 people arrived at the interview session. To everyone's surprise, Wang Hesheng, a well-known director in Shanghai, was also included.

He was originally hired as a teacher by the Shanghai Film School, but after saying hello to the boss, he ran to the capital to sign up!

From Ji Shuangyu’s point of view, Wang Hesheng is of a fairly high standard. Under such a difficult situation, his works also show a high level of artistry—this is also the common point of many outstanding Chinese directors. They have ideas, but they have no place to learn the latest techniques. , Still groping for myself.

Ji Shuangyu immediately asked Wang Hesheng to be promoted as a teacher, so that he would not be fighting alone, and now he is the only teacher in the entire film major...

Wang Hesheng said that he came to class, so why call him a teacher.

Ji Shuangyu talked about it, saying that as a teacher, he could still attend the class, and Wang Hesheng agreed.

And the interview was screened again, and there were only ten left. These ten should be divided into opera, drama, and film. However, most of the first session were film-oriented, followed by new dramas, and opera was the least.

Most of these people have a basic concept of the director's job, and even have experience in the industry, such as Wang Hesheng.Although the number of people is small, it can be said to be the essence.

They had nowhere to study before, and after getting such a learning environment, their growth is amazing.

In the next few decades, Huaxia Drama University will send a large number of professionals to the literary and art circles. These people are active in the fields of film, television and drama, and many of them are well-known in the world theater circle.Countless popular works also started from this school.

Including Wang Hesheng, who often jokes that he is both a teacher and a first-time student.

Two months later, it was the end of summer, everything was ready, and the first term of Huaxia Drama University was about to officially start.

A few days before the start of school, the students arrived in the capital one after another with their bags on their backs and moved into the school building. They also met many teachers who were only seen in newspapers and on the stage.The environment here is good, and it is beyond everyone's expectations.

Because of Ji Shuangyu's suggestion, although the exterior is an antique building, the interior facilities are very humane, and even have running water.The dormitory also goes to bed and sits at the table, and the cafeteria also employs several master chefs of cuisines, so that students must eat well.

Seeing that the school had just started, in order to get closer to the students, Ji Shuangyu also suggested that they put on some programs and perform at the opening ceremony.Cooperation and communication is the beginning of familiarity.

On the day of the opening ceremony, many celebrities were invited to attend, and Zou Muyun also attended to give a speech in person.

Ji Shuangyu also spoke on stage as the vice principal. He encouraged the students of each department, and finally said about the director department: "We have the smallest number, the director department."

Ten people, surrounded by other students, the number is indeed pitifully small.

"Many people may be daunted by the profession of directing. In fact, although the title of director is new, it has already existed. I know some famous actors in the theater world who can act on stage and rehearse and sing scenes when they are off stage. This can also be regarded as the director's function.

"So, among the actors sitting next to you, there may still be many of our future peers hidden. You are welcome to attend more classes in the directing department and tap your potential. Maybe the number of people in this class will double when you graduate."

Hearing what Ji Shuangyu said, the students all laughed together.

"Film directors may be the loneliest, because you feel different from other students, right? Before I came up, I heard someone say that your classes are all new, and you feel dizzy after reading them.

"Actually, don't worry. Many people seem unfamiliar with the theory of montage in movies, or don't understand it. Montage was originally an architectural word. In movies, it refers to the combination of cut shots. There are many constructions in Chinese characters. Lettering, callers, mouth and birds, combined to form. Isn’t this also a kind of montage?”

Ji Shuangyu gave a few examples in a simple way, not only the students of the directing department, but also other students listened thoughtfully.

"I hope that you will imitate the ancients, emulate the West, integrate the principles, and create Chinese literature and art, and even more your own vitality!"

After Ji Shuangyu finished speaking, everyone gave warm applause with dignity.

After the ceremony, the evening is the freshman party.

The students have all scheduled programs, and the teachers have to work together to produce several programs after discussion.

The teachers are all talents in the literary and art circles, and the grade of the gala has gone up, and many celebrities who attended the opening ceremony came here to watch the gala.

This school opening ceremony is just like the Chinese New Year, the other roles' programs are all reverse roles, Xiaosheng will play the female role, and the female role will play the painted face, just like Ying Xiaonong's original role, this is funny.

Ji Shuangyu originally said that the director would rehearse for you, but was held back by his colleagues, saying how can this be done, you were the one who rehearsed in the past, and director Ji never seemed to sing, and he came from the theater. This time, you can’t continue rehearsing the play It's time to go on stage!

After rock-paper-scissors, Ji Shuangyu was snatched away by the opera major.

"Usually, Director Ji is the lead role, but this time, let's take the lead, and the famous actors will support the director together!" Ying Xiaonong's words, it can be seen that the lineup of this show is very good.

There are more than a dozen famous actresses, some are teachers, some are guests, or just come to join in the show, and even the actors are big names.

Ji Shuangyu got into trouble urgently and rehearsed for a while.

At the beginning of the party, Ji Shuangyu changed into a Tsing Yi costume in the backstage. Today, he was going to sing, and his eyebrows slanted upwards. With phoenix eyes and red lips, his bones were clear, and there was a commotion in the backstage: , too valuable!

There have always been voices like this, if Director Ji went to sea to sing, he might be a famous actor. I haven't seen anyone as a director, and there are fan groups.Therefore, when he put on a costume for the first time, everyone felt that it was true, and some even whistled.

Ying Xiaonong slapped her thigh when she saw it:

"Okay!"

"Okay!"

After Ying Xiaonong finished speaking, he found that someone was speaking in unison with him. He turned around and saw that it was Jiang Sihai, and the two smiled sympathetically.

Ying Xiaonong shook her head: "The fairy is not inferior to the canary—"

Jiang Sihai shook his head: "You won't let Xunfang be gorgeous!"

Ji Shuangyu: "..."

Ji Shuangyu: "...Hehehe, Director Ying, Teacher Jiang, it's so late for you to meet each other."

……

There were a lot of people present today, when Ji Shuangyu was waiting backstage, a famous actor who was on stage today asked him to chat.

Ji Shuangyu politely shouted: "Hu Chu." This actor who was originally a fancier went to the sea, and according to the current habit, he is called somewhere.

Hu Chu chatted with him for a while, and when it came to the school site, he stroked his chin and said, "The site of the Drama University is pretty good, and the old mansion has a nice view. You can still film scenes here in the future."

Ji Shuangyu responded: "That's right." Isn't that right, it's very convenient to find a scene in an ancient costume film.

"And most of you are middle-aged people, so you are not afraid of being overwhelmed." Hu Chu laughed and said, "If you want to talk about this place, it was also one of the four major haunted houses in the capital."

Ji Shuangyu: "...A haunted house again?"

There is one next to his house, and it is the same here.But Ji Shuangyu never cared about these things.

"You don't know? You are so young," the senior said about Gulai, "20 years ago, this place has been deserted for a long time, and there were rumors of ghosts at that time. The Ministry of Education originally planned to use this place as its own office space, and sent people to Cleaning. Workers tidy up here, but they go crazy one after another, some run naked during the day, and some are stiff and lost their souls.

"The officials at that time also urged everyone not to panic too much. It should be something else, but no one dared to go there anymore. There was no way, so a group of police soldiers were hired to live there, and there have been no hauntings since then.

"At that time, people thought that the murderous police took over the house. A few years ago, the police office was also moved, and this place was vacant again. Now it has been allocated to our school."

Ji Shuangyu listened, but a word flashed in his mind, epidemic hysteria.

Because one person becomes mentally ill, it affects others and forms a kind of psychological contagion, which eventually leads to many people having similar symptoms, or in other words, believing that they have similar symptoms.

In the era when superstition was still prevalent, those workers who had not gone to school might be susceptible groups.

Hu Chu tactfully advised: "We are not allowed to worship gods in our school, but we should pay attention to some people making up some stories."

Nowadays, science is emphasized, and the drama university prohibits worshiping gods. If there is any objection, it will not be passed in the end.

"I know, we will pay attention." Ji Shuangyu was also reminded, and turned around to show the students the popular science book written by Shi Jinmo.

Ji Shuangyu regained consciousness after chatting, probed in the crowd outside, but didn't see Zhou Siyin's figure, and asked the knowledgeable Liu Liang: "Where is my investor?"

Since this place is known as a haunted house, Ji Shuangyu is still more concerned about Zhou Siyin's whereabouts.

Liu Liang scratched his head: "It seems that I was accidentally bumped by a student, and tea was splashed on me. I went to change clothes. But it's been a while, and I don't know why I haven't come back yet."

"Where are you going?" Ji Shuangyu asked vigilantly, she must have fainted somewhere.

Liu Liang pointed to the school's lounge, and he asked, "Master, otherwise I'll look for it."

He thought that there are still many guests here, and he will be on stage later.

"No, you stay here, I'll go." How could Ji Shuangyu let others know the true face of his investor... Ah no, real courage.

The advantage of the school being located in the Old Prince's Mansion is that the scenery is good and the place is spacious. The disadvantage is that it is winding and winding, with overgrown flowers and trees, the sky is overcast, and there are no people there. Even with street lights, it looks rather gloomy. No wonder there were supernatural rumors back then.

Ji Shuangyu headed towards the lounge. Before entering the courtyard where the lounge is located, she heard the sound of bluffing inside, accompanied by the screams of young people, and then faintly heard Zhou Siyin scolding in a deep voice: "Calm down! The more you are afraid of Yang Qi The more scattered!"

Ji Shuangyu: "..."

...Fortunately he came, what are these people doing inside!

In the courtyard.

Three or five students hid behind Zhou Siyin, looking in fear at the figure illuminated by the light in the room. At this moment, there were a few vicissitudes of coughing from inside—but when they came out, there was no one there!

"Ah!!" The students were even more frightened. They were all majors in opera performance. They had studied opera for several years, and each of them was only in their teens. They were so frightened that they even cried and grabbed Mr. Zhou's robe.

It was Mr. Zhou's reminder just now that everyone realized something was wrong and panicked for a while. Fortunately, Mr. Zhou stopped them again and taught everyone not to be discouraged.

The students looked at Zhou Siyin with tears in their eyes, "Mr. Zhou, I'm still so scared, I don't want to die."

Zhou Siyin: "No! Ghosts are afraid of evil people, as long as you show your courage, you will be safe!"

At this time, there were footsteps coming from outside the courtyard, and it was very strange in the cool night.

A red figure turned around, revealing a snow-white and glamorous face. His steps were light, his skirt was blown by the wind, and the faint moonlight shone on his body like smoke and mist. Two bright lights reflected in his eyes, which were extremely eye-catching.

Zhou Siyin's eyes widened instantly——

"Ghost! Female ghost!"

"Sexy ghost!!!"

Before Zhou Siyin could make a sound, the student cried out.

Ji Shuangyu: "..."

Zhou Siyin: "..."

Just as Ji Shuangyu was about to speak, Zhou Siyin yelled with a black face: "Nonsense!! That's your Principal Ji. Seeing you one by one, you are so superstitious!!"

Ji Shuangyu: "..."

student:"???"

It's not that you said haunted first...!

But this turned out to be Principal Ji in disguise?Damn, no wonder, she is still a ghost just to say she is so beautiful.

Just as the atmosphere froze in embarrassment, there was another noise in the room. The students didn't think so much, and they bounced reflexively, screaming and screaming.

Zhou Siyin's feet were still nailed to the same place, but he just pinched the talisman in his pocket.

This end was once again very lively, and I didn't know how hard I shouted.

Ji Shuangyu looked at it coldly for two seconds, hehe.

I saw Principal Ji walking over with a blank face, opened the door under everyone's horrified eyes, tore off the half-fallen wallpaper that fluttered like a silhouette, and let go of a wild hedgehog—the sound of a hedgehog Much like an old man's cough.

students:"……"

Zhou Siyin: "..."

After Ji Shuangyu finished all this, she clapped her hands, leaned against the door, and stood with her arms folded.

The beautiful makeup paired with this sloppy posture, and the pink and black phoenix eyes squinted, seemed to be even more mocking.

Ji Shuangyu: "Aren't you going back? Are you waiting to kowtow to Jiaxian?"

Although it is not haunted, according to Zhou Siyin's "science popularization", hedgehogs seem to be called Baixian, but this one doesn't look very spiritual, and it crawled into the grass in a dusty manner...

"..." The students who were crying like cats were deeply ashamed, and just like the hedgehog, they shrank their heads and walked away quickly.

Only Zhou Siyin was left.

Ji Shuangyu looked at him mockingly: "Fortunately, you didn't hide behind them."

Zhou Siyin stepped over and stood a step away from Ji Shuangyu.

Ji Shuangyu was startled and almost wanted to dodge. After seeing all the students gone, she wanted to ask him what he was doing.

But Zhou Siyin buried her head on his shoulder, let out a breath, and relaxed...

Ji Shuangyu: "..."

This body is a circle taller than Ji Shuangyu's, with his head tilted, showing a rare posture of seeking comfort, like a kitten... no, a big cat and a big dog, which makes people really can't bear to push it away.

Ji Shuangyu was helpless and funny, even a little affectionate, thanks to him not fainting in front of the students.

After a while, Ji Shuangyu put her hand on the back of his neck, and when her fingers touched his hair, it itched: "...Don't be afraid."

The author has something to say:

Zhou Siyin: What is a fairy in a ghost house, my wife has boundless magic power (gradually rampant
