Chapter 5: With Two Big Bosses in Charge, the Beijing Film Academy Takes Center Stage
In fact, Wei Yi's choice of Beijing Film Academy was never a spur-of-the-moment decision.
It's not some nonsense about fulfilling one's parents' dreams.
Before my rebirth in my previous life.
He was just one step away from becoming a full-fledged director.
He had written countless scripts and spent years working his way up on film sets; he was finally about to make a name for himself.
In the end, however, he was defeated by the silly system and ended up with nothing.
the most important is.
Actresses are fucking amazing!
That was in a fifth or sixth-tier city.
I really don't know what it's like to be a top-tier celebrity.
Fortunately, the sand sculpture system is truly absurd.
He was reborn into the so-called "cultivation world".
That's good now.
He can now legitimately enter the arena as a true academic.
Wei Yi was well aware of this.
Since I've made up my mind to make a name for myself in the entertainment industry.
I want to continue pursuing a career as a director.
Among the three major art colleges in China, the directing department of Beijing Film Academy is undoubtedly in a class of its own.
You could even say that, apart from the performing arts department.
All other majors at Beijing Film Academy are top-tier among the three academies.
Since we're going to choose, we should naturally choose the Beijing Film Academy, which has the strongest overall strength.
He has already made his choice.
And he looks very determined.
The gathering at the food stall naturally ended.
Liao Xianghong and her group left with grim faces and deep disappointment.
Grand didn't linger, and before leaving, he didn't forget to slip Wei Yi a business card.
The underlying message remains the same: the doors of the Shanghai Theatre Academy are always open for him.
Soon, everyone had left.
Sheng Tian Erzhuang neither wanted to nor dared to leave.
He was genuinely scared.
The Central Academy of Drama and the Shanghai Theatre Academy, these two old rivals, are still haunting each other.
Who knows, they might turn around and launch a surprise attack, secretly trying to persuade Wei Yi again.
Not to mention the big shots from Tsinghua and Peking Universities who are eyeing us covetously; they might just show up at our door tomorrow.
After thinking it over, Tian Erzhuang simply booked a room at a hotel near Wei Yi's house.
Old Tian was determined that he would not leave this small town until Wei Yi had finished filling out his college application.
The first thing Tian Erzhuang did after settling in was to call Zhang Huijun, the dean of the Beijing Film Academy.
Over the phone, he recounted how Wei Yi had decided to choose the Beijing Film Academy.
Finally, he patted his chest and promised that until Wei Yi officially filled out his college application and decided to study directing at the Beijing Film Academy, he would stay in this small town in eastern Guangdong and not move an inch.
Zhang Huijun was overjoyed upon hearing this and repeatedly said that he had done the right thing.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Zhang Huijun repeatedly said on the phone, "Old Tian, you should do it this way! That's right, that's exactly what you should do! Don't worry, the school will cover all the expenses! Don't worry, since their child has chosen the directing department, no one else can compete with you!"
"They're delusional!"
Tian Erzhuang said proudly, "The kids themselves said they chose Beijing Film Academy because of our directing department. What right do Liu Yibing and the others have to compete with us?"
"Okay, okay!"
Zhang Huijun didn't care which major Wei Yi chose, since they were both from Beijing Film Academy, and it was all thanks to his good management and achievements!
"Old Tian, you've really done a great job this time. Don't worry, you'll definitely get credit for it. You just need to..."
Zhang Huijun rambled on for a while, then added one more sentence at the end.
They said Xie Xiaojin should be almost there.
Tian Erzhuang was stunned.
I mean, the child has already been chosen.
Whether Lao Xie comes or not is no longer important.
But then I thought of something else.
When I arrived in eastern Guangdong in the afternoon, I hurriedly asked Zhang Huijun to send a few more people.
Xie Xiaojin was also specifically mentioned.
It wouldn't be good to tell him not to come right now, especially since Lao Xie is his old partner and classmate.
It was Lao Xie's idea to have me come to see Wei Yi ahead of time.
Xie Xiaojin deserves half the credit for his work.
Tian Erzhuang could only sullenly say that he understood.
really.
Zhang Huijun had just hung up the phone.
Tian Erzhuang's phone rang again.
The caller was Xie Xiaojin.
Half an hour later.
In the lobby of a hotel in a small town in eastern Guangdong.
Two top talents from the Beijing Film Academy's directing department have successfully joined forces.
The two met up and, without any further pleasantries, immediately started talking about Wei Yi.
Tian Erzhuang then explained the whole story.
Xie Xiaojin was both surprised and delighted.
After discussing it, the two realized that simply waiting around wasn't a good idea.
Anyway, there's still a while before filling out college applications and starting school.
Why not just stay in this small town and start teaching Wei Yi ahead of time?
Firstly, it can lay a solid professional foundation for Wei Yi in advance, and secondly, it can also win him over and completely stabilize his relationship.
We will absolutely not give the Central Academy of Drama, the Shanghai Theatre Academy, or even Tsinghua and Peking University the slightest chance to poach our talent.
Early the next morning.
The two of them then approached Wei Yi and told him about their idea of starting classes early.
Upon hearing this, Wei Yi...
He readily agreed on the spot.
In his past life, he relied entirely on unorthodox methods to get by.
Now you have access to one-on-one tutoring from the top directors in China—such a good opportunity is hard to find even with a lantern.
In the days that followed, Wei Yi's private lessons officially began.
In the morning, Tian Erzhuang taught a basic acting class, as well as core theories of scriptwriting.
In the afternoon, Xie Xiaojin held a practical directing class, covering camera language and scene mise-en-scène.
It was all their most treasured possessions.
At first, the two were worried that if they went too deep into the topic, Wei Yigang had just graduated from high school and had never been exposed to directing or acting before, so they were afraid that he would not be able to keep up.
But after a few classes...
Tian Erzhuang and Xie Xiaojin were both shocked.
Wei Yi's speed of acceptance was frightening.
Let alone the basic theoretical knowledge, which they grasped immediately.
Even many practical details that require years of experience on set to master.
He can readily offer his own opinions.
They can even come up with many ideas that are refreshing to both of them.
The two were puzzled at first.
But then I thought, he's a genius who got a perfect score on the college entrance exam, and his brain is something that ordinary people can't compare to.
It's only natural that they learn everything quickly, right?
The two of them got together in private and the more they talked, the more emotional they became.
This time, the Beijing Film Academy really had a stroke of good luck.
Being able to snatch a genius of this caliber from Tsinghua and Peking Universities is something to brag about for ten years.
Unexpectedly, this genius not only excels in academic subjects, but also shows exceptional talent in directing, a once-in-a-century talent.
This is a huge profit!
Little did they know that even if they didn't teach him, Wei Yi had already laid a certain foundation in his previous life.
During this period, admissions officers from Tsinghua and Peking Universities continued to contact them.
They visited again and again, offering increasingly generous terms, practically treating Wei Yi like royalty.
Wei Yi was always polite, but his attitude was extremely firm, and he declined all invitations time and time again.
Tian Erzhuang and Xie Xiaojin were always on tenterhooks, and they breathed a sigh of relief every time Wei Yi saw someone leave.
The day to fill out college applications has finally arrived.
Under the expectant gaze of the two bigwigs.
Wei Yi opened the college application system and, without hesitation, filled in "Capital Film Academy, Directing Major" as his first choice.
The moment you confirm submission.
Tian Erzhuang and Xie Xiaojin were overjoyed, their mouths practically splitting in a smile.
My heart, which had been hanging in suspense for so long, finally settled back into my stomach.
The Long March.
Finally, we've taken the first step.
