Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 656
After reading the script of "In the Name of Love", Yu Dong wrote some of his own opinions in the blank space behind.

These opinions were mainly concentrated in the second half of the script. Yu Dong felt that Chen Weiwen arranged the conflicts in the second half too intensively and did not give the audience time to breathe.

In addition, Yu Dong also felt that the name "In the Name of Love" was a bit bad, it was too ordinary.

After writing his opinion, Yu Dong raised his head and looked under the podium. There were still more than ten minutes before class ended. None of the students had finished their homework, and all of them were rushing to catch up with the progress.

Yu Dong stretched himself, holding a teacup and looking at the students with a smile.

It is already recognized in the industry that Jinyi performing major has very high requirements for literary literacy.

Before, Yu Dong and the others were also hesitating whether to have such high requirements for the literary literacy of acting students, but after several years of practice, it proved that their approach was not wrong.

Although the students will be more tired during this period, it does not affect their study of professional courses. On the contrary, the improvement of their literary literacy has promoted their improvement in professional courses.

When students like Hu Jing, Yan Danchen, Liu Ye, and Qin Yi went out to film, the director would praise them. Although they haven't graduated yet, their understanding of scripts is better than ordinary actors.

It is precisely because of the effect that Jin Yi has now made up his mind to focus on the literary quality of the students.

In the previous art exams, only drama creation students had to rely on literature-related content. Now Jin Yi’s art exams, as long as they are from the drama department, will have literature-related inspections.

……

When the class bell rang, Yu Dong took a look at the audience. There were still some people writing hard, including two activists, Deng Di and Zhao Di.

"Submit the paper, if it is not delivered to me within 1 minute, it will be counted as abstention. Now the countdown starts, 59, 58..."

It really worked. In less than 50 seconds, all 23 assignments were handed in.

Deng Yu was the last one to hand it in. He wrote while walking, and kept counting in his mouth.

However, it may be because he was nervous, so he counted faster. When he finished counting to sixty, it was actually less than 50 seconds.

……

After collecting homework, Yu Dong just walked out of the classroom when he received a call from Yu Yu.

On the phone, Yu Yu said two things. First, he briefly reported the production progress of the escape game, and then he talked about Jay Chou.

"Boss, the evaluation report on Jay Chou has been completed. I will ask Hu Hao to bring it to you in the afternoon."

"Yeah." Yu Dong nodded and asked, "Tell me about it, what are the evaluation opinions of all parties?"

"Not ideal." Yu Liang knew that Cheng Yanqiu and Yu Dongting were optimistic about Jay Chou, so he weighed his words, "Including Zhou Jianhui and Wu Zongxian, they all think that Jay Chou is more suitable to be behind the scenes. His image and singing skills are really not suitable for an artist. I made my debut with an identity. As for singing skills, I can train them, but the image is really difficult. Recently, fans have higher and higher requirements for the singer’s image.”

"Image, what about Li Weisong and his brothers, what's your opinion?" Yu Dong asked.

"The Li family brothers are very affirming Jay Chou's talent, and even said that they want Jay Chou to help their students write songs, but their views on his debut are basically similar to those of Zhou Jianhui and Wu Zongxian, they are not optimistic."

In fact, Jay Chou is not ugly at this time, but he is a little thinner, and his hair style does not add points, so he looks ordinary, far from the popular handsome singers nowadays.

Yu Dong nodded: "Since you don't like it, then don't let Deep Space Music make an album for him."

"Uh, oh, ok, I see."

The margin on the other end of the phone was a bit unexpected, he could tell that Cheng Yanqiu and Yu Dong were very optimistic about Jay Chou, otherwise Jay Chou would not have been allowed to sing "The Roof" by himself.

Now that the content of the evaluation is so unfriendly to Jay Chou, I thought Yu Dong would be unhappy, but I didn't expect the boss to give up Jay Chou so simply. It seems that the boss is still the boss, not controlled by his own preferences, very rational.

But Yu Dong's subsequent words made Yu Yu understand that his thinking was completely wrong.

"Don't let Deep Space Music come out, reorganize Alpha Company, and then follow Alpha Company's path to produce an album for Jay Chou. First make the album, see how the quality is, and then consider the matter of publicity."

Yu You blinked his eyes and said, "This is also a way."

It is indeed a method. In this way, there is no need to have conflicts with Zhou Jianhui and the others because of forcing Jay Chou to debut.

As for whether Jay Chou is suitable for debut, I actually don't care about it, this kind of decision-making that will not affect the company's future, he has no opinion on how the boss wants to play.

Even if Jay Chou can't get up, it won't waste much resources, just sprinkling water.

The point is, as long as the boss is happy.

Originally, if I had gone to Deep Space Music, I was worried about Zhou Jianhui's opinion.

When Zhou Jianhui took over Deep Space, he made a request that he didn't want the head office to interfere too much with his decision-making.

If Yu Dong still insists on Jay Chou's debut even though Zhou Jianhui and the others don't think Jay Chou is suitable for debut, maybe Zhou Jianhui and the others will compromise, but they will definitely not be happy in their hearts.

As it is now, reorganizing Alpha, and then leaving Alpha alone to let Jay Chou debut, is the best of both worlds.

"You go and tell Xiao Zhou to make him record a dozen or twenty demos in two months. If the quality passes the test, you can release an album for him. To put it bluntly, it will put him under a little pressure. Young people, no If you put pressure on it, it's hard to improve."

Yu Yu nodded and smiled, "I understand, boss."

……

"Follow up, keep up, you are going to hang up... hang up!"

Liu Genghong threw the handle away and was about to complain to Jay Chou when the phone on the table rang.

"Wait until I get back to start."

After leaving this sentence, Liu Genghong ran to answer the phone.

"Well, okay, okay, I see, I'll take him back to the company now."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Genghong ran over and pulled Jay Chou up, "Let's go back to the company."

"What's the matter?" Jay Chou was still holding the controller, thinking about the game, he just died unjustly, and he still wanted to save face.

"The company has a new boss."

"Is it?"

A hint of surprise appeared on Jay Chou's face. Ever since Alpha Company was acquired by Deep Space, the position of the boss has always been vacant. During this period of time, Chen Zhaoyun, the assistant of Deep Space Music CEO Zhou Jianhui, has been in charge of Alpha's operations.

They also always thought that Chen Zhaoyun would be assigned to Alpha as the general manager in the follow-up, but they didn't expect a new boss to come, which felt quite sudden.

"Let's go."

After Liu Genghong changed his clothes, the two of them went out together towards the company.

……

When the two rushed to the company, other employees of the company had already arrived.

Alpha doesn't have many employees, and Wu Zongxian and Liu Genghong are only brokers in Alpha, and they have a cooperative relationship with Alpha.

Unlike Jay Chou, his relationship with Alpha or Deep Space is more complicated.

Jay Chou has two contracts with Deep Space, one is a labor contract and the other is a brokerage contract.

The new general manager is called Huang Zongliang. He used to be a producer and worked for Warner for a while. He is relatively young, only 35 years old, and seems relatively modest.

Alpha is a very small company. In the eyes of outsiders, this company is just an addition to Deep Space's entry into the Taiwan music industry, and it was acquired by hand.

When people talked about this company before, they only thought of Wu Zongxian, and then Liu Genghong. Now because of the song "The Roof", Jay Chou's name will also be remembered.

After getting to know the staff, Huang Zongliang left Jay Chou alone.

Huang Zongliang looked at Jay Chou in front of him with a smile. Although he also thought that Jay Chou's image was not suitable for his debut as an artist, since Mr. Yu let go, he also regarded Jay Chou's affairs as the company's main task in the next stage.

Yu Yu called him and gave him special instructions about Jay Chou.

The original words are: "Zong Liang, Alpha's platform is indeed not big, but there is still room for it. After you take over the company, your main task is to develop Jay Chou. After you go, let him produce about [-] demos of songs within one and a half months. , if the quality passes the standard, then send him an album, and speak more harshly, young people, you need to give some pressure to make progress, you understand."

As soon as the margin is said, Huang Zongliang must resolutely implement it.

He patted Jay Chou on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Jay Lun, the company has decided to release a solo album for you."

Before Jay Chou's smile appeared on his face, Huang Zongliang continued: "But there is a condition, you need to produce 35... no, [-] song demos within a month. If you can pick out the quality If you pass the test and the number of songs reaches the standard, the company will release an album for you, can you?"

Jay Chou nodded: "Yes."

Huang Zongliang did not expect Jay Chou's reaction to be so flat, neither particularly excited nor flustered.

Not bad, quite calm.

Yu Yu told him that it would take one and a half months to make demos of more than 20 songs, but Huang Zongliang increased the size to be on the safe side, not only shortening the time by half a month, but also increasing the number of songs to 35.

What he didn't know was that the numbers Yu Yu told him had already been overstated.

"Well, you go out, remember, one month, you have to hurry up."

"Okay, Mr. Huang."

Nodding his head, Jay Chou turned around and walked out of the general manager's office. As soon as he closed the office door, he turned around and made a jump shot, pretending to hit the net with a three-pointer.

"middle!"

Jay Chou clenched his fist excitedly and called out in a low voice, but when he turned around, he saw Julie at the front desk staring blankly at him.

He changed into a cool look again, bowed his head and said: "Well, the new floor is very good."

After speaking, he walked past Julie with his pockets in his pocket.

Julie glanced at Jay Chou's back strangely, then at the floor, curled her lips and said, "Idiot, this floor has never been changed."

……

While Jay Chou was struggling day and night for 35 songs a month, Yu Dong looked at the classwork of the students in the 98 performance class with a face full of headaches.

The title of the class assignment was "If I became a big star", but the students wrote it as "If I became a good person".

23 students, each of them wrote very noble.

Some wrote that if you become a big star, you will donate money to the backward areas, do publicity, and help the areas improve the education level.

Some wrote that it is necessary to help domestic brands and boost the confidence of the country's name.

There are others, such as Deng Yu, who writes bigger and more empty. He said that if he becomes a big star, he will spread peace all over the world, stop wars, and feed all those who are hungry. .

In fact, the reason why Yu Dong came up with such a question was because he wanted them to torture their hearts. If they became stars, they encountered various difficulties and temptations, how would they deal with them.

Who knew that they deviated from the topic together, and wrote so illusoryly.

But seeing what they wrote, Yu Dong also felt that these young people were really cute. Although what they wrote were all illusory things, they could still read some real feelings.

Yu Dong could even feel that they really thought so.

Yu Dong also wanted to believe that they really thought so.

Human beings are very complicated. There is a side full of idealism that is noble and inhuman, and a side full of money and realism.

Yu Dong believed that when they sat in the classroom with pens and paper, what they were thinking about was indeed all living beings.

But Yu Dong also knows that when they really become big stars in the future, it will not be easy to keep their hearts in the face of various difficulties and temptations.

After thinking for a while, Yu Dong got up to find a file box with a plastic bag, and put all the 23 homework in the file and inside.

After loading, stick a note on the outside of the box with transparent tape, and write: 98th grade acting class, first class assignment, 1998.9.10.

Yu Dong put the box in the bookcase, then stood up with a smile on his face, ready to go to the government affairs building.

Today is Teacher's Day, there is no class for half a day in the afternoon, but the school has organized activities and prepared some living supplies to distribute to the teachers.

Let’s just say that the school is very generous this time, and will distribute two barrels of rapeseed oil and one bag of rice.

On the way to the government affairs building, Yu Dong saw Bi Feiyu and his wife struggling to carry supplies towards the apartment.

Seeing the oil barrels in their hands, Yu Dong was taken aback, "Hey, two barrels this big?"

When he heard about hair oil, he thought it was a four or five liter barrel, but he didn't expect it to be so big, it must be ten liters.

"That's right, a barrel of [-] catties. Fu Jing and I have a total of four barrels of oil and two bags of rice. There is still one more trip. Your family is also a dual-employee. How many trips do you have to make by yourself?"

Yu Dong curled his lips and said with a smile: "Old Bi, the so-called gentleman's life is not different, good and false are things. Aren't the carts at Uncle Zhou's place hanging there all the time, and you don't know how to use them."

Upon hearing this, Bi Feiyu quickly put down the oil and rice, "Why did I forget about this, Fu Jing, don't move, I'll go get a scooter with him."

After finishing speaking, he went up and poked Yu Dong: "It's a good thing you're here, otherwise I'd be running in vain."

Yu Dong smiled and said, "It's not once or twice that I call you."

Bi Feiyu shook his head and sighed, "It's also my fault that I have trained my body so well that I don't think about opportunistic tricks. On the contrary, it's a weak number like you who always thinks about tricks .”

"Old Bi, in the process of human evolution, the main evolution is the brain. An individual like you who refuses to evolve is really an obstacle to the evolution of the species."

"Except for members, unless the gene is mutated, the individual has no influence on evolution."

Fu Jing watched Yu Dong and Bi Feiyu walking towards the school gate while arguing, and also smiled. The scene in front of her suddenly reminded her of the first time she came to Jinyi a few years ago, when she and Bi Feiyu When Feiyu moved, Yu Dong and Bi Feiyu also went to pick up the cart from the reception room.

It is said that things are right and people are wrong, but after a few years, people are right and things are wrong.
