my gilded age

Chapter 11 First Arrival in the Capital
Beijing, early spring in February.

Although it is spring, it is still very cold. The weather at this time is much colder than it will be a decade or so ago, and global warming is not yet that severe.

Bai Shiqiu, now wearing an old duck down jacket, was wandering in front of a chicken-eating door.

"Are you Bai Shiqiu?"

"It's me, Teacher Song Qingyu, right?"

"Yes, I didn't expect that. You have a very good image as a young man."

"The teacher has given a prize."

A middle-aged man in a black coat came. Bai Shiqiu greeted him when he saw him. It was obvious that he was waiting for this person.

"Come on, sit down."

"Okay, Teacher Song, please come first."

"You're welcome, what would you like to drink?"

"Oh... Coke."

The two of them sat down, and Bai Shiqiu could smell the ruffian Cai in Teacher Song's words. He was at least as stingy as that guy, and he only asked for something to drink.

The teacher Song Qingyu brought two cups of Coke over, and everyone shared the points. At this time, he was a little hesitant, but there were some things that just couldn't be said. He took a few sips, and then changed the topic.

"Classmate Bai, um, I read your book. "Donkey Gets Water" is okay, but it's still a bit immature."

"Of course, please give me some guidance from the teacher."

"Very good. It's very good that Mr. Bai has such a humble attitude. I appreciate it very much. As a teacher at the Film School, I really... It is indeed a blessing for us in the field of drama creation to have new people like you emerging. .”

"Oh, Teacher Song, you are too generous. If you keep talking, I will find a crack in the ground and crawl into it."

"Hahaha... Yes, yes. But after all, there are still some problems. I want to make some corrections. So, can I change my name..."

"Teacher Song, you have contributed to this. Of course you can sign it. I was given the guidance by the teacher."

"Okay, okay, not bad, then... have you decided to take the film school entrance examination?"

"Prepared."

"Then I'll wait for you at the film school."

"Thank you...Teacher, go slowly."

After the discussion was over, Teacher Song left, leaving Bai Shiqiu alone.

"This old boy wants to take advantage, and he's so coy, haha..." After they left, Bai Shiqiu muttered to himself in a low voice, finding it quite funny.

More than half a year has passed. Bai Shiqiu's 'stepping stone' actually received a response very quickly. However, I made an appointment with Teacher Song on the phone at that time to come over to discuss it in detail during the exam. Anyway, I was not in a hurry. .

During this chat, it became clear that Mr. Song wanted to sign his own drama script "The Donkey Gets Water".

The matter of signature is really nothing. If nothing else, if Bai Shiqiu ends up in a script for Beijing Film Academy, then his work itself needs to be signed by the teacher, which is a normal procedure.Teacher Song is talking about this in advance now, probably because the work "The Donkey Gets Water" is excellent and he wants to get a piece of the pie.

It's a little cheap, and you have to give it away if you have to give it away.

Well, so it seems.

My cover-up plan was successful.

For the drama test, I have a good work in hand. This is a lot of extra points, and the possibility of passing the exam is greatly increased.

Of course, Bai Shiqiu didn't think that there was a bright road in front of him and that he could pass the exam no matter what. Moreover, his high goal was the acting class, not this drama.

At this time, after the Chinese New Year, Beijing Film Academy and China National Theater usually arrange their exams after the Chinese New Year. Bai Shiqiu came to the capital just for the exam.

This teacher Song is a teacher from Beijing Film Academy, so Bai Shiqiu’s registration will be like this.

The Department of Acting takes the examination of Chinese opera, and the essay of drama takes the examination of Beijing Film Academy.

There are regulations for applying. A candidate can only apply for one direction. That is, if he is successful in drama, he cannot apply for directing or drama writing if he applies for acting.

You can complete the high and low roles in the same way, go to the Central Television Theater to take the performance test, and go to the Beijing Film Academy to take the drama test. The time is just staggered, which is perfect.

After thinking about it, I feel a little hungry, so I might as well order some chicken nuggets for a bite.

While Bai Shiqiu was eating, two middle-aged men looked over at Bai Shiqiu.

These two middle-aged men, simply described, are two fat black men, except that one of them wears glasses.

"Lao Zhou, I really found a good investment this time, it's from Taiwan." The one who put on the glasses said it first.

"Hey, you're from Taiwan, are you rich?" Then Old Zhou took up the conversation.

"I'm pretty stingy, but this time I think the opportunity is good. The woman said she would go international." As soon as he said the word "international", the man wearing glasses raised his head unconsciously. "Huo, Brother Wang, you have been following the international route. From now on, you will not lose your reputation as an international director!" Lao Zhou praised with a smile, which seemed to be a joke.

"What an international level, don't tease me..." The man wearing glasses was actually quite proud, "But now, there is something. Didn't I say it before? You are quite stingy. The main actor this time doesn't want to Find someone who is famous, and of course our script is all written by me. You just need to understand. Anyway, it is best if you have no acting experience. This is also in line with the script, but you still need some acting skills. You see... …What do you think of that boy?”

After saying that, he pushed with his mouth, which was in the direction of Bai Shiqiu. At this time, Bai Shiqiu was concentrating on eating chicken and ignored it completely.

In fact, Lao Zhou had noticed that boy for a long time, and immediately smiled and said: "You mean, he has to be handsome enough?"

The man wearing glasses smiled and said, "In the script, I want a student, but this girl has a female classmate. I am going to find a very beautiful girl for the female classmate. So, if this male classmate is too ugly, how will I film it?" "

"Haha..." Old Zhou smiled, "What do you mean?"

"Now, you, Zhou, are the assistant director, go to work." The man wearing glasses smiled brightly.

"Okay, I have the order." Lao Zhou really went to work.

Anyway, we are all friends. If the film is actually shot in the future, it would be a good job for me to find an assistant director.

As for the assistant director, in the industry in our country, he has many functions. Not only can he be an executive director, but he can also make various noises and arrangements during filming to implement the director's wishes. In addition, he can also select actors. .

"This classmate, can I sit here?"

"no one."

Bai Shiqiu was focusing on eating chicken at this time. Ken Kee came to our country and absorbed some of the essence of Chinese cuisine. As a result, the chicken was really good, much more delicious than the Ken Kee in the United States.

There was a fat black man sitting across from him, and Bai Shiqiu didn't pay much attention to it. However, he didn't expect that the fat black man actually said something very unexpected.

"How old is this classmate this year?"

"Not even eighteen yet."

"Young."

"What are you talking about? I'm very old?"

"This is not, that, from the northeast of my hometown?"

"That's right, what's going on? Household census? Can you show me your ID?"

This conversation was indeed not very friendly, and it was normal. Bai Shiqiu had just arrived, so how could he lose his guard against others?

And this old Zhou also has some...

"You can't speak Northeastern dialect." The man wearing glasses over there said this mouth shape.

Lao Zhou could see clearly, but he could also tell that his old friend was a little unwilling to give up, so he asked a few more questions, "Do you want to make a movie?"

"Huh? Are you deceiving me?" Bai Shiqiu laughed at that time.

In fact, Bai Shiqiu recalled in his heart at this time, who is this person in front of him?

Lao Bai had drifted to the north, and he had some impressions of some of the group leaders in the capital. Moreover, he drifted two or three years later, not too far away, but the person in front of him seemed to have no memory.

Then Lao Zhou was a little angry now, "Don't believe it?"

"Should I believe it?" Bai Shiqiu suddenly changed his tone and accent, "You want to do something with me? You think I'm a country bumpkin from the Northeast. It's easy to do it. You can knock me out with just a few words. Hey, I I also want to tell you, young master, I am smart and know that it is not business that gets on the pole, so you can disappear quickly."

Listening to the old Zhou Yi, although the tone was not very good, his eyes lit up, "Not bad, this accent is amazing."

"Hehehehe..." Bai Shiqiu smiled, "It's funny, but you really want to film a movie with me. I'm busy now and preparing to pass the drama test. I'll have a chance in the future."

After saying this, Bai Shiqiu also finished eating, so he left, leaving Lao Zhou here in a daze.

It took a long time for Lao Zhou to react until the man wearing glasses came over.

"This kid just acted so coquettishly in front of me!"

Old Zhou must not know now that there is a saying in later generations called "pretend to be cool and run away", and Bai Shiqiu just played this trick.

However, the man wearing glasses said: "The Beijing dialect you just spoke was really good. This kid is okay."

"Hey, what do you mean, Brother Wang?"

"Didn't you hear? My assistant director, that guy is going to pass the drama test."

Only then did Lao Zhou understand that he had a task next.
