That year Huayu

"New York Film Academy, USC School of Cinematic Arts, Hollywood Film Industry Association... Military Arts, Chinese Opera, Central Academy of Fine Arts, Central Academy of Music, China Central Television, Beijing Dance Academy, Academy of Chinese Opera..."

Lin Nan yawned and counted the names of more than 30 international brother universities and more than 50 domestic brother schools that were participating in Nortel's 65th anniversary today, as reported by the official media.

The scale and array are truly unparalleled and can completely crush any film awards show in the country.

In addition, more than 3,000 alumni who have become famous in the film and television industry will all return to their alma mater to participate in the school anniversary;

Coupled with the large number of guests in the industry, such as film and television companies, related units, actors and stars... Needless to think about the scenes in the afternoon and evening, it will definitely be spectacular!

"Okay, okay, I'll tell him right now."

Liu Yifei, wearing a light pink printed pajamas, ran out, handed Lin Nan her cell phone, and mouthed to him: "The director is looking for you."

Lin Nan glanced at the notes on the screen, and then joked lazily:

"Deputy Director Jiang, doesn't the red carpet start at four o'clock in the afternoon? Isn't it inappropriate for you to disturb me at eight o'clock in the morning?"

"Four o'clock is the time for ordinary people, and a small number of people need to arrive before three o'clock;

Haven't you seen the interactive area the school has opened online? Vote for ‘the most awesome senior brother and sister’!

The twenty people with the highest votes were asked to use selfie sticks to take photos with the students on site before the ‘playing board’. As of the end of this morning, your Yifei family had won the prize. "

"So? Let Yifei arrive before three o'clock? I guess they are all from the acting department, right?"

While Lin Nan was talking, she also glanced at Liu Yifei. She was puffing out her cheeks and pouting, and her anger was still not gone after getting up.

"It's true that they are all from the acting department. Who makes it easy for actors to become famous? Our directing department is still thin, and there are so many great directors in the school, but none of them are on the list!

Yifei had better arrive before three o'clock. Director Tian means that you should come with him. You are one of the representatives of the director department on the red carpet today, so it would be better to come here early to prepare. "

"Is this really holding Liu Yifei hostage to make me suffer?!"

Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh. When Miss Liu next to her heard this, she immediately gave him a flirtatious look.

"That's right, you two are so annoying!"

"Let me ask, who are the representatives of the directing department?" Lin Nan asked curiously.

"Each school and department walked on the red carpet separately, and guests were among them. The representatives of our directing department are you, Director Kai Ge, and Director Tian!

For example, the acting academy has the largest number of stars, and they have to leave in batches, and they are determined according to the enrollment time, with the oldest first, and there may be two or three consecutive batches together..."

Good guy, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei glanced at each other subconsciously after hearing this, it's really troublesome!

"Okay, I get it. We will both arrive early."

"That's good, see you in the afternoon."

"Have you been contacted by the acting department?" Lin Nan asked Liu Yifei. She nodded and said:

"Director Wang sent a message, I just saw it. But if the two of us leave early, what will happen to Changchang? Should she go alone?"

"Take her with you, just think of it as going there in advance to play."

Lin Nan said calmly that it would be absolutely fine for him and Liu Yifei to bring a guest in early.

"Well, okay, I'll inform her now."

Turning around, Liu Yifei ran directly back to the villa, ignoring Director Lin.

Today, the entertainment headlines and focus of attention on the entire Internet must undoubtedly be Nortel's school anniversary.

Because this is a true "grand event" that brings together most of the film and television entertainment industry, and there is no element of "flooding".

However, there are still many "follow-ups" about Alibaba's strong acquisition of Youku yesterday that the public is talking about; especially in the film and television industry, many people are envious.

And this "follow-up" refers to someone breaking the news, namely:

Zhao Yanzi learned the inside story in advance and purchased a large amount of Youku shares in advance; she made a lot of money during Alibaba's acquisition of Youku, starting at least hundreds of millions!

After all, whether it is acquiring or privatizing a listed company, this process requires a premium!

Obviously, Zhao Yanzi is no longer within the reach of most capital and stars in the film and television industry, just relying on other people's network of contacts and information!

Alibaba Pictures.

"Is the information accurate?"

"To be precise, it should be the past few days at Tudou. Last night, Wang Wei and several other major shareholders had a meeting;

Early this morning, people from several large accounting firms on Hong Kong Island arrived at Tudou, as well as lawyers...I heard that the internal employees were very excited..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiang pondered for a moment.

Alibaba Pictures was originally responsible for keeping an eye on Tudou’s financing, and even had to find ways to get involved;

But now that the parent company has acquired Youku, Zhang Qiang only has the obligation to keep an eye on this matter, because Tudou and Youku are the same type of company, and Tudou is larger than Youku!

It can’t be that the parent company takes over Youku, but leaves the potato, a harder rock, to be handled by its subsidiary, Alibaba Pictures, right? How to intervene and enter the market is of course a matter for the parent company!

"Report it to the group. Whether we can get the admission ticket or not is none of our business."

The less trouble, the better. As the president of Alibaba Pictures and senior vice president of Alibaba, Zhang Qiang certainly understands this truth, and he immediately ordered.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang."

Huayi.

"Ye Ning drank a lot yesterday... After completing the procedures before and after the Spring Festival, it will only take four months, is it enough?"

“Wanda is now at its peak, and there is a high probability that it will not pay too much attention to whether an executive leaves or not. Even if he is an executive who has created great value, four months is definitely enough.

But I didn’t expect that there would be an unexpected harvest—Tudou is about to start financing! Tsk tsk tsk..."

When Wang Zhongjun said the last sentence, his eyes seemed to be shining.

"This is recognized as a high-quality stock! Do you want to try it?" Wang Zhonglei said with a smile. ,

"Of course I have to try it. Before we went public, didn't we also invite Lin Nan!"

"good."

…………

Starting from noon, the Internet is basically full of information from Nortel.

What it looks like inside the school cannot be reported because the media is not allowed in, and the students have complied with the requirements and kept it strictly confidential; but what it looks like outside has been splashed all over the Internet.

A large number of security personnel are already in place and stationed outside the gate, and even more inside the school;

Looking through the gate, you can clearly see that the red carpet is laid inside the school, not starting from the gate.

Except for invited official media and a few two or three Internet media, the school does not accept any entertainment reporters.

However, the school has opened a certain number of places for some citizens and fans. After registration, they can enter the school wearing a badge and watch in a specific area.

“Are you sure you’re going to be bare-faced?”

"Can't you?"

Liu Yifei has long hair shawl, raised her chin slightly, looking a little unruly.

"Okay, I just want to make sure. It's very beautiful and natural!" Lin Nan apologized with a smile.

Liu Yifei chose a casual rose-colored slim-fitting short dress for herself today. The skirt reached just five centimeters above her knees, exposing her white and tender legs, which was very eye-catching.

On the entire dress, small white stripes and rose-colored fabrics create two-color patterns that you can't even notice unless you look carefully. This makes the rose color less "dazzling" and looks softer;

The cuffs are not off-the-shoulder, but just cover her biceps. This outfit, with no makeup, long hair and a red and smooth face, adds to her graceful and friendly temperament;

Today she is not a star, she is just an alumnus, but her external conditions will really kill many celebrity alumni after makeup!

Hearing what Lin Nan said, Liu Yifei immediately became arrogant and proud.

Then, she shouted in the direction of the cloakroom: "Changchang, are you ready? We're about to leave."

"Come on, come on, why bother?" As he spoke, Shu Chang walked out.

"Good guy, are you really going on an outing with us?" Lin Nan couldn't help but tease, but it was meant as a compliment.

White T-shirt, high-waisted slim jeans, white shoes, baseball cap, single ponytail, not to mention, Shu Chang's outfit is very youthful!

"Let's go, I'm just a guest of the ceremony, not a tourist? But it's really hard to wear a suit on such a hot day."

Shu Changchang glanced at Lin Nan pointedly, then took Liu Yifei's hand, and the two girls laughed at the same time.

Director Lin was speechless. He was just wearing a suit. The weather outside was 35 degrees. It felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.

"Let's go, go into Nortel, stay under the air conditioner for a while; when the party starts in the evening, it will be cooler. Oh, it's an open-air party!"

After Lin Nan finished speaking, he walked directly to the door. Two commercial vehicles were already waiting. He, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were in one car, and his assistants were in one car.

"Sissi, look, he doesn't even carry your bag for you."

"You deserve a beating again, Shu Chang?"

…

As it approached three o'clock in the afternoon, the outside of Nortel School was already crowded with reporters from all walks of life and onlookers. The school was even more bustling with people, including traffic police and civilian police.

Current students who want to enter the school must show their ID to enter.

Because people coming to participate in the school anniversary today include not only the film and television industry, the media industry, the education industry, international friends... and even many department and ministerial-level leaders, so the security level must be high!

Although it is not yet three o'clock, some vehicles have indeed arrived outside the Nortel gate.

Yan Dingxian, Xie Fei, Tang Guoqiang... Huang Bo, Huang Xiaoming, Zhao Wei... these people are either alumni representatives or the "most awesome seniors and seniors" who were voted out!

After a group of people registered inside the gate, they were free to "walk" around the school.

"Hey, this seems to be the car of Lin Nan Pictures? Director Lin and the others are also here in advance?"

Huang Bo was just about to go to the acting academy to gather when he accidentally turned around and saw two Mercedes-Benz business cars parked outside the gate. The advantage of being sharp-eyed was revealed.

Immediately, Huang Xiaoming also stopped. The others just paused without stopping when they heard this.

A large number of students in the school were taking photos or videos with their mobile phones from a distance without disturbing them, because there were still quite a lot of volunteers maintaining order in the school today. Such a big celebration cannot bring shame to the school, right?

"Director Lin, look here!"

"Yifei, this way."

"Shu Chang..."

No vehicles were allowed to enter the school today, so Lin Nan and the other two could only get off the car at the school gate. And all around, the shouts of entertainment reporters were loud,

“Warmly celebrate the 65th anniversary of the founding of the Film Academy;

Warmly celebrate the 110th anniversary of the birth of New China Film and the 65th anniversary of New China Film Education. "

Lin Nan looked at the two most conspicuous banners hanging on the gate and couldn't help but read it in a low voice.

"Director Lin, Producer Liu, and Ms. Shu, please follow me here to register."

The young teacher in charge of reception at the school greeted him cautiously. It turned out that he was a graduate student who had just stayed at the school in the past two years!

"Okay. Sissi, Shu Chang, let's go there."

The three of them passed the gate smoothly and were taken to the registration office; there were already many names registered on the thick signature book.

After signing their names one by one, the three of them relaxed a little, and Huang Bo and Huang Xiaoming also came over.

"Director Lin, Yifei, Chang Chang, are you afraid that you have to separate?" Huang Xiaoming joked.

"If nothing else, Yifei should be walking the red carpet with me. Who told me that I am also from the 02-level acting academy? Haha..."

Huang Bo smiled unscrupulously, he was telling the truth.

"Then please, don't let her take the camera when taking selfies with the students."

"Fuck you!" Liu Yifei immediately punched Lin Nan.

"Changchang will follow you. By the way, the school shouldn't be so 'deserted', right? There are thousands of alumni!" Lin Nan asked curiously.

"They are all staying in a hotel outside, and the school has reserved the venue; besides, the red carpet doesn't start until four o'clock, so there will definitely be no one around now!

Also, I heard a rumor that today, on the school anniversary, the school may 'initiate' alumni to give back to their alma mater..."

A few people were walking on the main street of the school, and Huang Bo spoke in a low voice.

"Donate?"

"Um!"

"Is it still too late for me to withdraw now?" Lin Nan joked.

"Your name has been registered and you still want to run away?"

As they spoke, several people saw the 110-meter-long red carpet and the 65-meter-long signature wall at the end.

"What a pomp!"

Lin Nan sighed, then looked at everyone: "Then let's break up here. Sissi, take her to the acting school. I'm going to the directing department."

"Well, see you tonight."

Liu Yifei smiled and waved to Lin Nan, and the four of them walked towards the acting school, while Lin Nan went straight to the directing department.

On the way, he noticed that a large number of school staff and volunteers were already busy making final preparations. The performers who want to come to the party should also be doing their final rehearsals right now!

…

The directing department is definitely more relaxed than the acting school because there are fewer people.

When Lin Nan came over, Tian Zhuangxang was drinking tea and Lao Jiang was checking the roster.

"Today is the school anniversary. If you see anyone who is an eyesore, just ignore it and don't get into any conflicts."

Before Tian Zhuangzhuang could speak, Lao Jiang warned Lin Nan.

"Okay, I know who you are talking about? Taro."

Although there are not many people in the directing department, there are quite a few famous directors. Among them, who else can be an eyesore to Lin Nan, besides Lu Chuan? Gone!

"Don't say those two words after you leave the house." Tian Zhuangzhuang put down his teacup and nodded.

"Yes, I understand, teacher."

Lin Nan sat there and looked at the list of directors. There were many acquaintances, but there were only three representatives.

It is impossible to become a representative without the "Golden Generation" award at an international film festival!

When it comes to the "strength" of great directors, the photography department is only behind the directing department. After all, there are Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei, Ning Hao and others.

As the time approached four o'clock, people from the director department finally came over one after another.

Li Shaohong, Wang Xiaoshuai, Guan Yu, Gao Xixi, Hu Mei, Wu Ershan, Lu Yang, Huang Jianxin, Han Sanping, Han Jianu, Lu Chuan, Lou Ye...

At 3:50 in the afternoon, the director department office has become very lively.

Not to mention, Lin Nan has a lot of people!

"Senior Brother Lin, are you really separated from Sissi?"

"Actually, there is no problem for me to study in the Acting Department or the Directing Department. As long as Deputy Director Jiang is willing to let me go, I will immediately go to the 02-level Acting Department! There are many more familiar old classmates there than in the Directing Department! Hehe …”

"Go and have your spring and autumn dreams!"

Lao Jiang retorted directly, and many people at the scene were happy. Of course, Taro must be cold-faced and have no friends there.

"The travel plan was canceled midway?" Lin Nan ignored Lao Jiang and looked at Lu Yang and joked.

"No, I just flew back from Iceland yesterday. It was great there. I haven't had enough fun yet!"

"I went there when I was visiting the cast of Interstellar. It was really dreamy."

In the huge office, there was constant chatter and laughter;

At this time, the one holding the most important position came, and it was really the finale.

I saw Chen Kaige walking in with a smile, followed by Chen Hong. I guess he came in as a guest of the ceremony. After all, he was born in a movie.

"Director Chen, Producer Chen."

"Director Chen..."

"Director Kai Ge..."

…

There was another wave of greetings, and the smile on Director Chen's face became even brighter.

"Everyone came quite early... It's rare to see so many old friends today. We must have a good gathering and chat in the evening..."

The "old friend" Chen Kaige refers to is the famous Nortel Class 78. It is the Class 78 of the entire Nortel, not the Class 78 of any secondary college or major.

"Director Jiang, Director Tian, ​​our directing department can prepare to go to the red carpet waiting area. The performance school has already started."

"Okay, got it."

"Everyone, let's go." Tian Zhuangxu said. At this moment, he was the only one who could speak to everyone, but the older director Xie Fei was not here.

A large group of people left the directing department and headed towards the red carpet.

At this time, the Nortel campus was packed with people. The movie channel was broadcasting the entire event live, and a large number of official media were everywhere. The shouts of students and fans could be heard in the sky.

Leaders from dozens of fraternal schools formed a formation, which was very conspicuous. The Central Propaganda Bureau, the General Administration of Culture, the major state-owned enterprises, major associations... are also no less generous.

The alumni guests on the red carpet today include all alumni representatives from various departments and grades of Nortel, from the performance cadre training class in 1950 to the class of 2012.

Across the sea of ​​people, Lin Nan saw many trembling old men and women from the acting academy who were seventy-year-old, octogenarian, and even in their prime;

Without exception, these people are basically supported by others, which is really not easy!

Lin Nan saw that Liu Yifei, Huang Bo, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin, and Jiang Yiyan, as representatives of the 02-level performance department, were in place together with the 01-level students.

Some volunteers put on red scarves that reached their waists on both sides. It looked quite formal, but it was definitely hot!

"I'm convinced too, why are you still carrying your bag?"

Liu Yifei turned around, and Lin Nan saw the white women's bag slung on her right shoulder.

The funny thing is, I saw a group of people walking on the red carpet. Huang Bo took the host's microphone and joked loudly:

"You read that right, it's true. Liu Yifei and I are classmates. She is as young as me..."

Not to mention the huge crowd at the scene, even Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing immediately. Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin even called out: Where is the face?

Familiar faces walked onto the red carpet one after another. No matter what their personalities are behind the scenes, today they are all Nortel alumni with smiles on their faces, such as Yao Chen, Huang Shengyi, Du Chun... It makes people speechless.

The Class of 96 in the Performance Department is indeed the most famous class in the entire acting academy, and other classes cannot compare!

"It's our turn."

Tian Zhuangzhuang turned around and reminded Lin Nan and Chen Kaige, and the three of them took the lead towards the preparation area at the front. Volunteers, quickly put on red scarves for everyone.

"Now, please invite the representatives of outstanding alumni of the Director Department, Director Tian Zhuangzhuang, Director Chen Kaige, Director Lin Nan, and all outstanding alumni of the Director Department..."

Well, in school, people should be called according to seniority and age, so Lin Nan had no objection to being ranked third.

The three of them took the lead, followed by the other directors. The scene was quite spectacular and attracted everyone's attention. Because just this one team represents "half of the country" in the film industry!

From a distance, Lin Nan saw Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei, and Ning Hao from the Photography Department; Jia Zhangke, Cao Baoping, and Xue Xiaolu from the Literature Department. These people are waiting to walk down the aisle.

There were even more guests attending the ceremony, all of whom were top celebrities in the industry, and the actors from Chinese dramas were the most conspicuous!

But today's red carpet really broke up a lot of couples, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, Chen Kaige and Chen Hong, Gu Changwei and Jiang Wenli, Ning Hao and Xing Aina...

…

The red carpet went from four o'clock to seven o'clock in the afternoon. During this period, Lin Nan took Liu Yifei and Shu Chang to have a meal in the faculty restaurant.

What he swiped was Associate Professor Lin Nan's meal card. He didn't know how much money was in it. Anyway, the school subsidized it every month!

By half past seven o'clock in the evening, the sky was completely dark, but Nortel's 65th anniversary party had just officially begun.

Lin Nan ran away from the directing department and went to Liu Yifei's side. Shu Chang, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin, Huang Bo and others were all there, as well as Zhou Yang, Jiang Yiyan and others whom they hadn't seen for a long time.

Some people can only say goodbye with a smile and a nod, nothing more.

"The most important moment today is coming. I heard that there will be an award! Director Lin, you must be a part of it, right? What kind of award is it?"

There is a dance performance above and chatting below. Huang Bo looked at Lin Nan and asked with a smile.

"I don't know, but there should be."

Lin Nan told the truth. Although he didn't know what award he could win, he knew that there were three types of awards tonight. Especially the last one, the competition is the most fierce!

At around nine o'clock, after several leaders finished speaking, it was finally time to look forward to it.

I saw the principal, a classmate of Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others in the 1978 class, standing on the podium and began the first round of awarding today.

“On the occasion of Nortel’s 65th anniversary, the school has prepared trophies and certificates for outstanding graduates and alumni to commend their contributions to their alma mater;

Those who received the honor of outstanding alumni include: Wang Zhiwen, Jiang Wenli, Wang Jinsong, Huang Xiaoming, Zhao Wei, Chen Kun... Huang Bo, Liu Yifei..."

A series of actors were named and came on stage one by one, and the principal personally awarded trophies and certificates.

At this point, Lin Nan had already figured out something: "This award is also based on status and connections within the circle!"

When Liu Yifei came down happily holding the trophy and certificate and sat next to Lin Nan to show off to him, the process started again.

"...Those who received the honor of outstanding alumni include: Han Sanping, Yu Dong...Chen Kaige, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Jia Zhangke, Gu Changwei, Lou Ye, Wang Xiaoshuai, Ning Hao, Lu Yang, Guo Fan, Cao Baoping, Xue Xiaolu..."

The list this time is much smaller than before, but everyone can hear that the outstanding alumni this time have more status in the circle than outstanding alumni. Of course, this also means greater achievement, that’s a fact!

"Lin Nan, you really guessed it right..."

Liu Yifei leaned next to Lin Nan and muttered, but the next second, she also realized: Lin Nan's name is not there!

Similarly, many people around him also noticed it and looked at Lin Nan intentionally or unintentionally.

At this moment, on the stage, Tong Gang and Zhang Hongsen were awarding trophies and certificates.

Ten minutes later, the third award ceremony began, and Lin Nan knew that this was also the last time! If nothing else, he should be there.

"To those who have made pioneering achievements in the film industry, the school, together with the General Administration, Film Bureau, Central Propaganda and other departments, selected three generations, old, middle and young, to award the 'Special Contribution Award'..."

"Special Contribution Award!"

Lin Nan perked up, it was this kind of award? !

"The winners of the 'Special Contribution Award' are: Director Xie Fei, Director Zhang Yimou, and Director Lin Nan!"

"This is a lifetime type award! Although it is only awarded by the school, the weight is not low! Director Lin is indeed qualified, both in terms of awards and box office..."

Discussions arose, and Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were very happy.

Looking at the three figures walking onto the stage, many of the great directors present felt a little regretful. They were indeed incomparable;

No one can beat Zhang Yimou, let alone Lin Nan. As for director Xie Fei, others have the same grades and age!

At this moment, Director Chen's expression was extremely ugly.

He was in the same batch as Zhang Yimou, but he lost to Zhang Yimou at the 65th anniversary celebration of his alma mater! Lost!

Lin Nan received his first "lifetime" award at such a young age, which was a bit unaccustomed to him.

After receiving the trophy and certificate from the top leader of the General Administration, he followed Director Xie Fei and Director Zhang Yimou and gave a smooth speech, keep up the hard work!

When he returned to his seat and sat down, in just three seconds, the trophy and certificate disappeared from his arms and disappeared! Well, it’s at Liu Yifei’s place!

"Well, we have two trophies. Especially yours, which is the heaviest! I decided to donate 1 million tomorrow..."

Liu Yifei smiled at Lin Nan in a low voice. Only then did Director Lin realize that the school was such a thief that he actually went to Liu Yifei to donate money!

"Okay, it's up to you. How much does it cost me to be an associate professor? If you donate 1 million, am I paying my own salary?"

"Hehe, it seems, that's the truth!" Liu Yifei was amused by herself.

"Sissi is so stupid, a prodigal bitch!" Even Shu Chang couldn't help but complain.
