Director of Photography Department of Huayu

Chapter 51: Not a Personal Instruction, But Better Than a Personal Instruction

On July 10, at the gate of Beijing Film Academy, the summer heat was at its peak and the chirping of cicadas filled the air.

Wu Chen and his companions stood under the shade of the locust tree in front of the school gate, waiting for Liu Yifei and Zhou Yang.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps.

Liu Yifei was seen walking out of the school gate in white sandals, her long hair hanging lightly on her shoulders, the hem of her light blue dress rippled by the hot wind, and she was holding up a parasol with her fair wrists as she walked towards the summer breeze.

This minimalist and clean outfit looks just right on Liu Yifei.

"Wow, you look like you've been dressed up." Xiang Zhuo nudged Wu Chen. "How is it? Does it look good?"

"You're talking nonsense." Wu Chen was too lazy to pay attention to Xiang Zhuo. At this time, it was more important to look at the person.

"I said you look good in this outfit, but Wu Chen's eyes are too bold. He doesn't know how to restrain himself." Zhou Yang chuckled.

Liu Yifei's ears turned slightly red, but she didn't mind Wu Chen's look.

"Let's go." Wu Chen said when he saw people coming.

Several people walked out of the alley and hailed two taxis.

Wu Chen was about to get in the car when Xiang Zhuo quickly closed the door and said, "There are already three of us. It's very crowded here. Let's go to the next one." After that, Xiang Zhuo asked the driver to drive.

In desperation, Wu Chen had to get into Liu Yifei's car.

Wu Chen opened the passenger door, got in and sat down, and said naturally:
"Actually, at this moment, one of you should get out of the car and take my passenger seat. That would be more in line with the plot of the TV series, and maybe even lead to a marriage."

When Wu Chen said this, Liu Yifei's face suddenly turned red. The two of them pouted at the same time, and the atmosphere instantly became relaxed.

"Young man, I didn't expect you to be such a master. You must have chased after many girls, right?" Unexpectedly, the taxi driver hit Wu Chen hard as soon as he started the car, and he didn't forget to talk about his old stories.

"Back then, all the girls in the village within a radius of four or five kilometers liked me."

Wu Chen was embarrassed and asked quickly, "Master, what are the recent international and domestic situations like?"

"I didn't expect you to care about this, let me tell you."

The taxi driver in the imperial capital was indeed knowledgeable about astronomy and geography, a true reincarnated Zhuge Kongming. The three of them listened to him all the way, and later on, it turned into the Third World War.

"Wow, how terrifying!" Wu Chen couldn't help wiping his sweat when he got off the car.

"Who told you to bring up the topic of Master? Now you can't talk anymore."

Liu Yifei said with a chuckle, and when she raised her beautiful eyes, she saw that the huge Workers' Stadium in the distance was already filled with a roaring crowd. The media were all standing in front of the red carpet, and the guests were appearing one after another, with shouts everywhere. It was so grand!

"This is a big scene, director, when will you arrange one for us?" Zhou Yang also looked over, feeling envious.

"There will be a chance." Wu Chen smiled faintly and led everyone in from another place.

"That's not right, Brother Chen. I see the tickets you gave us actually include the red carpet walk." Xiang Zhuo took a careful look at the information on the ticket, and it was actually different from ordinary tickets.

"Go away! If you go up there, will anyone recognize you?" Wu Chen left without even turning his head.

The ticket Mu Deyuan gave was for a guest seat, which was quite close to the front, in the fourth row.

As soon as Wu Chen found his spot, Mu Deyuan saw him and waved to him.

"You guys sit down first, I'll go over." Wu Chen hurried over. At this time, there was a middle-aged man of the same age sitting next to Mu Deyuan.

"teacher."

"No wonder you need six tickets." Mu Deyuan joked, then introduced the person next to him, "This is your senior brother Liang Ming. Didn't you want Yan Bingyan to be the female lead before? I asked him for help."

"Hello, senior brother!"

"I've heard Old Mu mention you a lot before. You're really good!" Liang Ming replied with a smile, but suddenly felt something was wrong. "Wait, Old Mu, Wu Chen calls you teacher and me senior brother. Doesn't that mean you're half a generation older than me for no reason?"

"Everyone has their own opinions. Once you're in the world, you can't decide for yourself." Mu Deyuan acted like an older brother and patted Liang Ming on the shoulder. "Who told you to go abroad for further studies after teaching at school, and then not come back after? Just bear with it and it will pass."

After Mu Deyuan finished speaking, without waiting for Liang Ming's reaction, he pulled Wu Chen over two seats and said, "This is your senior brother Gu Changwei." "Hello, senior brother!" Wu Chen shouted mechanically, but without any fear.

Gu Changwei seemed a bit awkward with words, and replied to Wu Chen with a simple smile. Then Mu Deyuan asked, but Gu Changwei didn't answer, and Wu Chen listened.
Wu Chen looked at Gu Changwei and for a moment he couldn't imagine what Gu Changwei and Zhang Jing looked like in bed.

Not far away in the back row, Park Songri and others watched Wu Chen being led around by Mu Deyuan, and were suddenly moved.

"Old Mu treats Brother Chen as his personal disciple and has introduced him to many connections."

"It doesn't matter, Brother Chen is our connection anyway!" Xiang Zhuo said lightly.

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Park Songri and Chu Tianshu looked over, but even Liu Yifei and Zhou Yang looked over.

"Why, is there something wrong with what I said?"

"No, I think what you said makes sense." Park Song-il shook his head, as if there was nothing he could refute.

Wu Chen was finally brought by Mu Deyuan to Zhang Yimou and the main creators. Liu Dehua, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Zhang Ziyi couldn't help but look at Wu Chen.

"What a young and handsome guy." Liu Dehua sighed.

"Being young is not a problem. The problem is that you have come here at such a young age." Zhang Ziyi said lightly, naturally omitting the handsomeness. This thing is not worth mentioning here, and secretly guessing Wu Chen's identity in his heart.

"Hello, senior brother!" Wu Chen shouted with a slight nod.

The Zhang Yi in front of us is only 54 years old, not as old as his later generations.

This age group is also the director's golden period of creation when he is at his most energetic.

He has neat short hair, a pair of ordinary eyes, and decent facial features. You can still see the marks of his youth and a little handsomeness. No wonder he was able to get Gong Li back then.

You have to know that Gong Li, with her pretty face and figure, charmed a lot of men back then.

"Lao Mouzi, I'm not bragging, but Wu Chen might be no worse than you in the future." When Mu Deyuan said this, Zhang Yimou looked sideways and looked at Wu Chen deeply.

He and Mu Deyuan had been classmates for many years, and he knew Mu Deyuan's character very well.

If Gu Changwei is particularly cowardly, then Mu Deyuan is like a hero.

He loves drinking and is very loyal. He even brings a dagger to class. Although he likes to brag, he is never vague when it comes to important matters.

"."

Wu Chen was stunned when he heard this.

I wonder if Old Mu has been drinking today?

Are you here to brag?
Although he felt that this was nine out of ten possible reasons, otherwise he would be sorry for the gift of fate, but it would be a bit inappropriate to bring it up.
Now he has no achievements at all.

"But Wu Chen is still young, and young people are bound to be full of youthful energy. In a few months, he will be stepping onto the big stage. If he says or does something wrong one day, I will help him if I can."

Because some people said that the pace of these two chapters was slow and too long-winded, I thought about it for a long time, revised it for a long time, and even planned to delete it and go directly to the next stage.

But in the end I chose to keep these two chapters of the plot, because I didn’t want this book to be written simply for movies, awards, box office, and business, otherwise it would be another "Beijing Film Academy 2002".

At this time of the last book, it seems that three or four movies have been shot. Of course, all of the above mentioned will be included, and the pace will gradually accelerate. This was originally planned.

Sometimes I feel that my writing skills are limited. I have many good ideas, but I can’t express them or make them concrete, which is very regrettable.


If the spring breeze has pity for flowers, can you allow me to be young again?

People’s youth is precious. It is the most important stage in their life. Countless people wake up in the middle of the night and recall their youthful years.

Wu Chen was obviously lucky. He met a good teacher, a group of good friends, and the person who would accompany him for the rest of his life.
I hope to use the golden age of world cinema to portray Wu Chen's brilliant life, rather than just being limited to the trivial gossip in the Chinese and foreign entertainment circles.

Although those little things are exciting, I have found many people and asked many questions. Some things cannot be explained clearly by people in the circle, let alone those who have not even stepped into the circle. A lot of gossip information is just for fun.

After revising these two chapters, it is already 2:4 in the morning. I wish you all a good sleep and a good meal. It’s already time, and I’m going to sleep too!
