China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 638 Cute Weibo and Brothers [Two in One]

Sun Yi hasn't seen Teacher Tian Zhuang for a long time.

He himself is very busy and often travels between China and North America. Even when he stays in China, he spends most of his time on the crew. Whenever he has some free time, he calls the old man to say hello.

As for having a meal together or joining a party, the old man refused them all.

It seems that the old man was not a person who liked to join in when he was young.

Or maybe the old man is deliberately distancing himself from him.

Perhaps alienation isn't the right word.

Well, how should I put it, it feels like retiring after achieving success.

Sun Yi had invited the old man to the billion-dollar celebration party for "Pacific Rim" before, but he said that he was just a teacher and had no intention of getting involved, so he refused again.

This made Sun Yi a little confused.

However, from the old man's eagerness to see me, he heard that I was at school and came to see me specially.

Sun Yi felt that the relationship between master and disciple had not changed.

Why do you say that?
When he was studying at the Beijing Film Academy, he had studied in both the acting department and the directing department. However, he had never heard of a joint internship between the two departments being held at the beginning of a new semester.

It is always at the end of the semester that teachers from the two departments make arrangements with each other, give suggestions on themes and scripts, and then the directing students from the directing department are paired with the acting students from the acting department to carry out internships with the help of the directing teachers.

Just two days into the new semester, the old man came to Teacher Cui to ask about joint internships. If this isn't an excuse, what is?
He came here specifically to see Sun Yi, his favorite student.

"Teacher Tian."

"Well, here we come."

When Tian Zhuang saw Sun Yi, he didn't look surprised at all. He put his hands behind his back and nodded with a nonchalant tone.

Sun Yi was amused.

Old man, just pretend as much as you can. You must have seen me on the playground just now.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess what Tian Zhuang is thinking. Today, Sun Yi has far surpassed him in terms of identity and status. Even his directing skills, which he is most proud of, there is nothing he can teach Sun Yi.

Even in terms of understanding new technologies, he is completely out of date.

He had secretly gone to see Pacific Rim, and like other young people in the theater, he was shocked that such a movie could come from China rather than Hollywood.

He deeply realized that he was old and could not keep up, and he would be satisfied if he could make use of his remaining energy in school and pass on his many years of experience to future directors.

Therefore, he never attended any of the games that Sun Yi invited him to.

Since you have admitted that you are old, just be content with what you have, stop struggling around, and leave more opportunities to young people.

This is Tian Zhuang’s true psychology.

After seeing Sun Yi at school, his longing for his beloved disciple made him unable to help but find an excuse and come over.

When we met, he deliberately kept a stern face and maintained his demeanor.

An old child, an old child, this is what people like him are talking about.

"Hello, Director Tian~"

"Hey~ Xiaofei, you're good. You know when you have troubles, you should come back to the school. This is the right thing to do. You've made great progress. Keep working hard."

Completely different from the stern face he had when talking to Sun Yi just now, Tian Zhuang's expression was so friendly when facing Liu Yifei that the wrinkles on his face were all piled up like flowers, which made Liu Yifei nod repeatedly.

"Yes, I understand, Director Tian."

After saying that, he glanced at Sun Yi smugly, which made Sun Yi feel helpless for a while.

It seems like it’s unnecessary for me to come here today.

In 2010, the Internet was already very developed and smartphones were becoming increasingly popular. The news that Sun Yi and Liu Yifei appeared at the Beijing Film Academy spread instantly on the Internet.

Most people thought that the two took advantage of Teachers' Day on September 9th to go back to school to see their teachers.

But after a while, a group photo posted by Liu Yifei on Renren Weibo gave many people a clue.

It is a photo of her and Sun Yi standing on the left and right next to teachers Tian Zhuang and Cui Xinqin respectively.

In the photo, Sun Yi has a smile on his face, Tian Zhuang has a slightly serious look on his face, and Cui Xinqin and Liu Yifei are smiling and holding each other's arms.

Liu Yifei also specially added a piece of text and emoticons.

"Thank you Teacher Tian, ​​Teacher Cui, and wish all teachers a happy holiday today!!!"

"PS: Woohoo, I can't handle the new role in Mr. Sun's script. I am a poor student who has to be sent back to school for retraining. I look pitiful and cry bitterly~~"

Netizens and fans were immediately stunned by Liu Yifei’s Weibo post.

They began to comment.

"Wow, Sister Fairy is so good, she went back to school to see the teacher on Teacher's Day."

"If even my sister is a poor student, what should I do~"

"Goddess, I just like poor students~~"

Some time ago, the issue of Liu Yifei's academic qualifications was hyped on the Internet.

The questions revolved around her age when she entered Beijing Film Academy.

She went to college at the young age of 16, which made many unknown netizens think that she was faking her academic qualifications.

Indeed, Liu Yifei entered the Beijing Film Academy in 2002. Strictly speaking, her actual age at the time was less than 16 years old, just a little over 15 years old. She was directly admitted to the academy as an exception and became the youngest student in the class.

At that time, Sun Yi had not returned yet, and might have been chasing and playing on the high school playground.

Xingkong explained this fact for Liu Yifei and produced relevant documents from Beijing Film Academy and Beijing Municipal Education Commission as physical evidence.

Regarding Liu Yifei's admission qualifications, it was because she held American citizenship and a high school diploma at the time, which met the admission requirements for foreign students. She also passed three rounds of the Beijing Film Academy's admission examination and demonstrated the corresponding professional qualities, so she was admitted.

In other words, there was absolutely no problem with her admission qualifications, and it was a fairly formal channel.

You can't say that people go to college at a young age, which means their academic qualifications are fake. There are even genius children who go to Tsinghua University at the age of 13.

In the United States, high school graduation is early, so what?

The disturbance at the time was not serious, and Liu Xiaowei, together with Star’s public relations department and legal department, handled it.

But Sun Yi and Liu Yifei also knew about this, but they didn't take it seriously.

When you are famous, you are prone to gossip. Especially in the entertainment industry where competition is so fierce, it would be abnormal if you didn’t have some scandals.

Even Sun Yi always liked to tease Liu Yifei about skipping classes to film during school hours.

Said she was a poor student.

The girl was not convinced at first and kept refutation, saying that she was not skipping classes, but had specifically asked for leave from the teacher and had a formal note.

But this can hardly explain the fact that she has weak basic knowledge of acting.

In the end, he was helpless and simply stopped defending himself. Later, he became fearless and even threatened Sun Yi in turn.

"I am a poor student, so what? If you are capable, do you want to change someone else?"

Now it’s Sun Yi’s turn to suffer.

Substitution?

What a serious illness this must be!

Therefore, under the influence of Sun Yi, Liu Yifei has become very open-minded about the issue of academic qualifications. She even said in public on Weibo that she is a poor student and made fun of herself.

If it were other stars, they might fail, but for Liu Yifei, it is almost impossible.

She no longer relies on any personality. She has works and classic roles to support her, so she can play whatever she wants. Her self-deprecating remarks make her fans feel that the Fairy Sister is down-to-earth and extremely cute.

Different people see different things in a Weibo post.

What netizens and fans saw was Liu Yifei’s cuteness and self-mockery, but in the eyes of some people, what they were paying attention to was Sun Yi’s new script.

Just paying attention is not enough, I headed straight to Beijing Film Academy. Back to school.

Hearing that Sun Yi and Liu Yifei were discussing the acting skills of blind people, Tian Zhuang stayed uninvited.

While listening to Cui Xinqin's on-the-spot guidance to Liu Yifei, he gave his own suggestions based on his experience.

It’s true that old ginger is still spicy.

That’s why they say that an old person in the family is like a treasure.

The suggestion made by the old man was something Sun Yi had not thought of before.

I heard that the role is set to open her eyes and pretend to be blind, and she needs to make expressions freely, which can show off Liu Yifei's beauty and maximize her breakthrough in acting.

Tian Zhuang interjected slowly.

"When shooting, you can design a shot with strong light shining into the eyes, and then take a close-up of Xiaofei, making it look like she is really blind and has no reaction to the strong light."

Upon hearing this suggestion, Sun Yi was delighted at first, but the next second he felt it was not safe.

Shooting in this way can indeed maximize the blind nature of the character, but it places too much demand on the actors.

As we all know, when the human eyes are stimulated by strong light, they will experience abnormal reactions such as stinging, foreign body sensation, soreness and tears, and even uncomfortable symptoms such as visual fatigue.

If you want to achieve what the old man said, that is, to have no reaction at all when facing strong light, it will take hard work and not just one or two days. In serious cases, it may even damage your eyes.

Sun Yi remembered that 13 years later, in the film "Blind Detective" starring Andy Lau and Zheng Xiuwen, there was a group of such shots. Andy Lau said that he was blind, but he could still be a detective. Zheng Xiuwen didn't believe it at all and directly shone a strong flashlight into Andy Lau's eyes.

And Liu Dehua was just like what Teacher Tian Zhuang said, his eyes had no reaction to strong light, as if he was really blind.

This is not a physical advantage. Andy Lau is a normal person. His eyes will feel uncomfortable when facing strong light. What can be shown is his acting skills and his professionalism in devoting himself to the role.

Of course, there are also actors who are born with this physiological advantage. Sun Yi also knows someone and had a brief collaboration with him.

It’s the girl named Liu Shishi.

She doesn't play a blind person but acts better than a blind person. If the role of Jinghua is given to her, she will be able to play it easily without any problem.

That's too far.
On one side is the best effect of the film, and on the other side is the suffering that his wife has to suffer.

Any director might have struggled with this, but Sun Yi didn’t. He made the choice very readily, giving up this shot and choosing his wife instead.

he thought.

The movie can be shot at any time, we can’t let the little girl suffer this.

But after hearing it, Liu Yifei was eager to try it and looked at Cui Xinqin with anticipation.

"Teacher Cui, is this possible? How can we perform it?"

It was obvious on Sun Yi's face that he didn't want to adopt this suggestion, but after a little thought, Cui Xinqin told Liu Yifei the truth.

She is also an actress, so she understands the pursuit of high-level acting skills very well and should support it.

"Xiao Fei, what Director Tian said is basically the most expensive acting method. There is no trick or shortcut to this method. It is just about practicing again and again, relying on the strong belief and will of the actor to overcome the physical instinct."

"Once you become familiar with this, you will be able to overcome your body's physiological reactions, and conversely, you will be able to learn how to use your physiological reactions to act."

Hearing this, and looking at Liu Yifei's high-spirited look, Sun Yi pinched his chin helplessly.

I'm afraid this is unavoidable now.

Sure enough, the next second, Liu Yifei asked.

"Teacher Cui, how do I practice this specifically?"

"Well, Xiaofei, don't practice at home by yourself. You could hurt your eyes if you're not careful. Sun Yi doesn't have enough experience in this area. Come to school. I have classes in the mornings this month and I have nothing to do in the afternoons. I'll help you practice. The time is up to you."

"Teacher Cui, this is so embarrassing. You still have class to attend."

"If you call me teacher, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. In this regard, you should learn from your husband." Cui Xinqin said, and then nodded in the direction where Sun Yi was sitting.

"He's so thick-skinned, he seems to be very relaxed."

"Hehe~"

Liu Yifei looked over and smiled.

"Me? What's wrong with me?"

Sun Yi was confused.

After spending an afternoon at school, the matter was resolved satisfactorily. Liu Yifei also made an appointment with Cui Xinqin to come to school for practice every day, and Sun Yi also had a good chat with Tian Zhuang about his recent situation.

There was a welcome party for the 2010 freshmen of Beijing Film Academy in the evening. Sun Yi and Liu Yifei had agreed to attend in front of everyone in the afternoon, so they were not in a hurry to leave. They waited until the party started at 5 o'clock, and then they went on stage together to perform a show for their junior classmates. Only then was the party over.

It was a rare opportunity that I sang a song "A Little Love" with my fellow junior fellow students on the spot.

Amid the cheers of their fellow students, the two quietly left the stage and met teacher Cui Xinqin again backstage. There was a man and a woman standing beside her, chatting cordially.

"Hey, Brother Xiao Ming."

"Sun Yi, Yifei, this is such a coincidence."

Speaking of which, Huang Xiaoming is also Cui Xinqin's favorite student.

It is said that when Huang Xiaoming took the Beijing Film Academy exam, he participated on crutches because he was injured in a car accident and could not perform any talents.

But even so, Cui Xinqin still took a liking to him at first sight and recruited him to the famous Class 96 of Beijing Film Academy, where he was classmates with Zhao Yanzi and Chen Kun. This is how he became what he is today.

"It's rare for you brothers to get together."

Cui Xinqin's face was full of smiles, and she was very relieved.

As for the woman standing next to Huang Xiaoming, she has also become very famous recently. She is Antetokounmpo, who was about to officially take the top spot in the future but messed herself up after watching a show.

"Sun Yi, Yifei, this is Baby, my girlfriend."

"Xiao Yi, my contract will expire at the end of the year, and I don't plan to renew it with Huayi this time."

Since they had met, no matter what happened, with Cui Xinqin's fellow apprenticeship and the friendship from the "The Return of the Condor Heroes" crew, the four of them found a secluded restaurant to get together.

"You're not going to sign it? Brother Xiao Ming, you seem to be a shareholder of Huayi. Can they just let you go like this?"

Liu Yifei was very surprised and felt that with the style of the Huayi Wangs, they would not let go of this cash cow so easily.

However, what she didn't know was that Hua Yi had long lost his prestige in the circle due to the rise of Xingkong.

"I have to let it go, but I don't want to make things so awkward. I plan to set up my own studio, and then I'll give Huayi some shares so that we don't end up falling out."

Ever since Sun Yi’s personal studio developed into Starry Sky Image, any celebrity actor with a bit of ambition in the circle wants to copy his path.

Nowadays, the most successful one is Fan Bingbing. Even though he is still a long way from being as successful as Xingkong, he is still enough to make other stars envious.

Obviously, Huang Xiaoming also had the same idea.

"Well, the studio is pretty good. It gives me freedom and I can make most decisions on my own. I don't feel like a prostitute anymore."

Sun Yi made a joke.

"Xiao Yi, are you interested in joining us? Even if it's just to help out your senior brother, after all, it's just a personal studio. No one in the entire circle is more successful than you."

Seeing that Sun Yi did not respond but started a joke, Huang Xiaoming had to speak directly to the point.

It is more like paying protection money than taking a stake.

It's completely meant to be affiliated with Starry Sky.

Sun Yi had no choice but to accept this. If the company had not signed a backup agreement with IDG and a number of investors when it went public, Zhou Xun, Zhang Songwen, Zhang Yi, Yang Mi and others under Star Sky would have opened their own studios long ago.

Even though the current contracts are with Starry Sky’s agency department, the treatment is actually not much different from that of a personal studio.

Now there is no problem with Huang Xiaoming joining us.

Besides, my senior brother “50-50” is still worth looking forward to.
