I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 154 The most prestigious opening ceremony in the history of Beijing Film Academy!
"Under the Hawthorn Tree" has grossed over 5 million yuan in 5 days, surpassing director Nolan's new film Inception, and has been the box office champion for consecutive days!"

"The Venice Award has been successful, and the box office of "Under the Hawthorn Tree" has exceeded that of yesterday!"

"Beijing Film Academy's 2010 freshman Chen Jin wins China's first Venice Marcello Mastroianni Best Newcomer Award!"

"CCTV will broadcast the entire opening ceremony of the Beijing Film Academy's 2010 class live!"

……

"Ok?"

Chen Jin, who had just finished exercising with Zhang Yimou, was stunned when he saw the news under the headline.

live streaming?

The opening ceremony will be broadcast live?

Such a big game!
Chen Jin originally wanted to write a speech casually, but now it seems that he needs to put in some real effort.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for the Chinese teacher’s mother?

This kind of thing must be told to her, and she should bring everyone in the office to watch it together.

Well, thinking of this, Chen Jin sent a message to Su Wanyu.

The box office of "Under the Hawthorn Tree" today is 1598 million, which exceeds yesterday's 128 million, which is indeed a reversal of decline.

The sensational effect of the award is still continuing, and the fermentation of the role of Lao San is also obvious.

Not only has Chen Jin's Weibo followers skyrocketed in the past few days, but discussions across the entire network have also been heated.

If there is a hot search or something, it will definitely be #The Third of the Five Good Boyfriends#. This character not only touched many female fans, but also received a lot of praise, and even brought up the topic of finding a boyfriend like the Third.

I don’t know whether it is a promotion of new images or a spontaneous action by netizens.

Of course, this is very beneficial to Chen Jin and is also very helpful in increasing box office revenue.

"The Hawthorn Tree" successfully broke the 1.08 million mark in the afternoon, and its current total box office is million. If nothing unexpected happens tomorrow, it should be a similar daily box office champion.

The final box office revenue will depend on how high it can reach over the weekend.

According to this trend, 2 million is not enough at the moment, but 3 million is also possible.

This is definitely a new height for Chinese art films.

The total box office of "Three Guns" is 2.61 million. If "The Hawthorn Tree" can exceed this box office number, Zhang Yimou will definitely be very happy.

Art films have blown away the box office of commercial films, which is enough to prove that they are big hits.

Moreover, the investment of "The Hawthorn Tree" was also small, only 7000 million, while "Three Guns" was twice as much, 1.3 million!
"Three Guns" actually lost money just relying on the box office in mainland China. Fortunately, Zhang Yimou had some appeal overseas, and Zhang Weiping sold a lot of copyrights, ultimately making a profit of nearly 5000 million.

"The Hawthorn Tree" may not sell much overseas, but it is clearly making a profit in China.

All the rest is profit.

Moreover, no matter whether it is "Three Guns" or "The Hawthorn Tree", Zhang Weiping got something for nothing without spending a penny, so he would not lose money even if the box office was bad.

The next day, Chen Jin went to Beijing Film Academy to attend another day of classes.

The time came to September 9th, which was the day of the Beijing Film Academy’s opening ceremony.

Start on time at 10 am.

Chen Jin rushed to the director's office early in the morning and handed Huo Xuan the 1000-word speech that he had written the night before.

Huo Xuan looks a little fat and looks like Qin Huang, who played Zhou Botong in TVB. He has a very kind face.

"Haha, I thought you were too late!"

"I've prepared one for you..."

Huo Xuan handed Chen Jin a speech that he had asked someone to write. Chen Jin took a quick look at it and felt a little dizzy.

Depend on!
Isn't this speech of yours meant to rub me, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, to the ground?

Can I write this kind of article?

I feel socially dead when I read it.

"First of all, please allow me to express my heartfelt gratitude to the teachers and parents who have nurtured us on behalf of all the freshmen, and to pay high tribute to the faculty and staff of Beijing Film Academy who have devoted themselves to the cause of education..."

Chen Jin almost felt sick of watching it.

There are a few classic sentences below the key points:

Beijing Film Academy carries the dreams and glory of countless filmmakers. It has witnessed the vigorous development of China's film industry and nurtured generations of outstanding talents.

He shoulders the moral responsibility with a strong will and writes articles with his skillful hands.

Film is not only an art form, but also an important force for spreading ideas, conveying emotions and influencing society.

……

"Director, who did you ask to write this manuscript?"

Chen Jin was not being impolite, but he never expected that the director of the acting department would write a speech for him.

So I regretted it instantly when I heard Huo Xuan's answer.

"me!"

"I wrote this for you after referring to the speeches of previous sessions!"

"How? No?"

Huo Xuan was still waiting for Chen Jin's evaluation, so Chen Jin could only force out an awkward but polite smile: "Not bad!"

No wonder it's at this level.

It turns out that you took students from previous classes as reference!

The cultural foundation of Beijing Film Academy students is really weak~~
"Director, what do you think of my writing?"

Chen Jin saw Huo Xuan admiring his masterpiece and asked hurriedly.

Huo Xuan frowned and said, "It's well written, but your speech... is different from the speeches of previous students!"

Not even a word of thanks to the teacher?
Haha, that’s right, they are not quite the same!

Chen Jin is a top scorer in the college entrance examination. Why should he be the same as them?
“I’m definitely different from them!”

"As long as you think there is nothing wrong with the content..."

Chen Jin was already quite tactful. He felt that Huo Xuan should be able to understand. Unexpectedly, Huo Xuan said, "How about you combine this with mine? I think I still need to mention the teacher, school, and movie!"

Huo Xuan said this and looked at Chen Jin.

If it were any other student, he would never discuss it like this, but Chen Jin was really different.

"director!"

"We in the acting department are actors, and the most important thing for actors is performance!"

Chen Jin mainly felt that Huo Xuan's speech was too awkward and he couldn't bring himself to speak it out.

"All right!"

"The content is not a big problem, you can really say that!"

"But this is a live broadcast, and many outstanding alumni will be here, so you have to think about it carefully!" Huo Xuan reminded him, and Chen Jin nodded: "Yes, Director, I know!"

"Okay, then let's speak according to this speech!"

Huo Xuan saw Chen Jin's persistence, and he also knew that even the top scorer in the college entrance examination was proud.

The writing style of this speech is still very good, but it does not conform to the standards of Beijing Film Academy's speeches. It is a bit... eccentric.

He didn't know whether it was a good idea or whether the school leaders liked it. After all, it was his first year as the director.

"Then it's up to you, Director!"

What Huo Xuan actually wanted to say was, I didn’t say it was okay, you were the one who insisted on saying it.

"Then Director, I'll go back to the classroom first!"

"Well, let's go!"

Huo Xuan waved his hands helplessly. Having such a student in the department actually made it quite difficult for him to deal with him.

If you are too outstanding, you will have many ideas of your own.

"I hope you can do what you wrote!"

Huo Xuan sighed slightly.

When Chen Jin returned to the classroom, none of the students in Grade 10 Performance Class 1 cared about the opening ceremony that was about to begin.

After all, it really has nothing to do with them.

The speeches by freshman representatives, graduate student representatives, school leaders, etc., were all sleepy routines.

The speeches are all the same and many students can recite them.

It's just a formality.

Besides, after the opening ceremony, there is a half-month long military training, which is even more torturous. Who would like that?
"Our class will also watch your opening ceremony later!"

Looking at the message sent by Zhu Yanmanzi, Chen Jin was immediately confused.

"What's so interesting about the opening ceremony?"

Zhu Yanmanzi missed the opening ceremony of the Central Academy of Drama, and the freshman speaker was Qin Junjie.

"Almost everyone in our class knows you. The Beijing Film Academy's opening ceremony is so grand, of course we want to see it!"

Zhu Yanmanzi also started military training today and it will last until National Day. It is said that the troops are from the same unit and have divided into several groups to train freshmen from several schools.

"There's nothing to see, let's go!"

Chen Jin smiled, and Zhu Yanmanzi made a face at him: "It hasn't even started yet, why are you going to leave?"

The two were chatting there, and after a while Dilraba Dilmurat came over to join in the fun.

Obviously, the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama is now in a completely good-looking mood. The two schools often compete secretly, but in fact, the Performance Department has a very good relationship in private, and they often get together and exchange resources when they have nothing to do.

The interactions have always been frequent, so many students from the same class of Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama became couples in the future.

We all met through such social gatherings, and there are many couples in the circle.

Tatata!
After a while, the sound of high heels came into the classroom. Sui Lan, the head teacher, who was obviously wearing makeup today, looked very good.

In fact, she is only 10 years older than Chen Jin and the others, and can be considered a close friend.

Chen Jin wanted to establish a good relationship with her so that it would be easier for him to ask for leave and skip classes in the future.

"Okay, let's go!"

"The opening ceremony will begin soon, and military training will begin after lunch!"

Sui Lan was talking there.

Chen Jin and others immediately stood up and followed her out of the classroom. Students from Class 2 and Class 3 of the Performance Department also came out at this time.

I don’t know any of them, except those who took the art exam in the same examination room.

Luo Yukun, who ranked second in the art exam, chose the crosstalk comedy class, which was something Chen Jin did not expect.

However, the substitute teacher of this class is Feng Gong, and many actors who have performed on the Spring Festival Gala will come to teach. It may be more convenient to take the artistic path, and maybe you can even be on the Spring Festival Gala, which is also a shortcut.

Chen Jin followed the group to the playground of Beijing Film Academy, where the opening ceremony was held.

Numerous live broadcast cranes were set up at the entrance, and vehicles from CCTV-6 were also parked there. Except for the absence of a host, the scene was quite spectacular.

There was actually a red carpet, which was obviously covered with people, and a campus signature board for the opening ceremony.

A group of students were interested in this because all the outstanding alumni who came today had to sign it.

Chen Jin saw a very familiar word.

Zhang Yimou!
Oh my god, even Old Zhang is here. He is here just for my face!

Chen Jin thought shamelessly.

But he actually guessed it right. Zhang Huijun called him here and he had to speak as an outstanding alumnus. This is an old tradition of Beijing Film Academy.

Would he have attended if it weren't for Chen Jin?
Probably not.

So there is nothing wrong with what Chen Jin said.

He has to give face to Lao Mouzi now!

After all, he is the No. 1 Chen Chui.

"This is Zhao Wei, I recognize her signature!"

"Chen Kun is here too. I heard he's going to be filming Tsui Hark's new movie!"

"Director Huang Jianxin, the one in The Founding of a Party..."

"Lu Chuan, he said that he would openly select concubines for The King's Feast. Oh, no, he wanted to openly select Concubine Yu!"

"..."

A group of people were chatting in front of the signature board. Chen Jin had already seen the people sitting in the guest seats. Zhang Yimou was among them, as was Huang Jianxin.

Taro Michikawa was sitting behind him, and there were also many famous directors and actors.

Like Zhao Junqi, Chen Kun, Huang Xiaoming... Li Shaohong, Guan Hu... Beijing Film Academy invited quite a few people for this opening ceremony!

The crew of "The Founding of a Republic" is here too.

Is this to build momentum for yourself?
Chen Jin was a little overwhelmed, but he was overthinking it. They were actually doing it for Zhang Huijun's face.

Only Lao Mouzi and Chen Jin may have played a certain role.

They were all chatting leisurely in the guest seats, while Chen Jin had already sat in the seat of Class 1. Zhang Yimou suddenly saw him, but he had no expression and just looked away.

It looks just like the real thing.

Chen Jin sat up straight and watched the school leaders walk onto the ceremony stage.

The Secretary General of the School Committee, who temporarily served as the master of ceremonies, walked to the podium and announced the start of the opening ceremony of the 2010 class of Beijing Film Academy.
