Gong Li walked out of the teaching building door anxiously. Yin Dawei beside her comforted her: "Don't worry, you performed very well today and you will definitely pass the exam."
In the era before Kang Jianfei time traveled, applying for the Chinese Opera examination was basically during the winter vacation of the previous year. Before the college entrance examination, you could know whether you had taken the professional courses of the Chinese Opera. But now the professional course examination is one or two months before the college entrance examination, and at this time
The college entrance examination is also held in mid-July. Gong Li just completed the final professional course examination of Chinese opera today.
"I'm not worried about professional courses. I'm afraid that I won't be able to pass the college entrance examination and cultural courses next month." Gong Li said worriedly. She has failed the exam for two consecutive years.
Yin Dawei smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's not like you can't pass the cultural class if you have a poor score. You performed very well in the professional class."
Gong Li smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Teacher Yin, for your teaching."
Yin Dawei was Gong Li's first acting teacher, and was also rumored to be Gong Li's first boyfriend. He was only in his early thirties at this time, and he was very handsome.
Yin Dawei and Gong Li have been together for more than half a year, and they do have a good impression of each other, but they have not done anything that crosses the line yet. After all, Yin Dawei is married and has a legitimate occupation - the director of the JN Military Region Avant-Garde Song and Dance Ensemble.
.
Gong Li was able to study acting with Yin Dawei because she fought for it. She failed the college entrance examination twice in a row (both times she applied for vocal music), and then she studied while working. Last year, Gong Li was working as an aunt in the kindergarten of Shandong University, and accidentally met the military district
The avant-garde song and dance troupe was performing, so he boldly went to the leader of the song and dance troupe and said that he wanted to join the song and dance troupe and learn from his master.
Gong Li actually wanted to learn singing, but the group leader pointed at Yin Dawei who was directing the party and said that that person was very good at teaching students.
The leader of the song and dance troupe was just unsatisfied and wanted to dismiss Gong Li casually, but Gong Li took it seriously. He quickly found out where Yin Dawei lived and went directly to his door to become his apprentice. He visited three times in a row, followed by Gong Li twice.
The parents were also dispatched. Only Yin Dawei failed to kneel down.
Yin Dawei was left with no choice but to accept Gong Li as his student. However, he himself could not sing, so he could only teach Gong Li how to perform.
When they were in the first class, Yin Dawei whipped Gong Li without saying a word because she didn't look good when she stood with her legs crossed, one of which was shaking.
She had no intention of letting Gong Li give up.
Gong Li was beaten inexplicably, and she was so angry that she rushed out of the door. As a result, she came to class again the next day, leaving Yin Dawei with no choice but to teach honestly. It didn't take long for him to find that Gong Li was very savvy, and the professor's
He learned things very quickly. Only then did Yin Dawei truly recognize this female disciple.
Some time ago, Gong Li came to Beijing to take an exam alone with 300 yuan. The money was stolen as soon as she left the train station. She could only cry and call Yin Dawei for help. Yin Dawei happened to be in Beijing on a business trip, so he came to the capital in advance to give Gong Li
I gave her money to help her out, and by the way, she took the professional course with her.
Yin Dawei looked at his watch and said: "It's almost twelve o'clock. Let's go to the canteen of the Central Theater to have a meal first. Then buy a ticket and go back to Jinan."
Gong Li followed Yin Dawei to the cafeteria. When the two of them were lining up, they heard the Chinese drama students chattering:
"I heard that Kang Jianfei is coming to our school to give a speech in the afternoon."
"The Kang Jianfei who filmed "The Brave Policewoman" and "Dao Ma Dan"?"
"Who else but him?"
"Really or not, he is an international director."
"It's true. He gave a speech at Nortel this morning, and it was our turn to be in the show in the afternoon."
"Yes, yes, I heard that too. He also attended the Golden Rooster Award Ceremony yesterday."
"Such an important matter should be notified in advance. Why didn't I see the notice posted?"
"It should be a temporary decision. It was posted this morning. Didn't you pay attention?"
"Where will the speech be given?"
"It starts at half past two, right in the auditorium."
"Oh, then finish eating quickly and grab a seat."
"You don't have any classes this afternoon?"
"It doesn't matter whether there are classes or not. Such an important lecture cannot be missed."
"..."
From the students' discussion, Gong Li finally figured out the situation. She asked Yin Dawei tentatively: "Teacher, how about we also go to listen to the afternoon speech."
"Kang Jianfei's movies are indeed good, and it will be good for you to listen to his lectures," Yin Dawei nodded and said. "But the group has activities tomorrow, and I have to go back tonight to prepare, so I won't accompany you to listen to the lectures."
Gong Li felt a little embarrassed, but she wanted to miss Kang Jianfei's speech, so she finally buried herself in her meal, acquiescing to Yin Dawei's arrangement.
…
After lunch, Gong Li sent Yin Dawei to the school gate, then asked for directions and ran to the auditorium to grab a seat. As a result, before one o'clock, the seats in the auditorium had been taken away, and even the aisles were crowded.
people.
Gong Li had no choice but to stand at the door and wait, fearing that someone would take her place at the door if she took a step away. After waiting for more than an hour, she finally heard someone shout: "Here it comes, here it comes!"
The students around Gong Li stood on tiptoes and looked over, and she quickly stood on tiptoes to look over. Unfortunately, a tall man in front of her completely blocked her sight.
"Students, please give way. Today we are fortunate to have the internationally renowned director Kang Jianfei Kang give a lecture to you. Please students over there please don't block the door..." The school leader led the way, and the students moved out of the way one after another, and then
He looked at the man behind the leader curiously.
"It's really Kang Jianfei, he looks just like Mike in "The Brave Policewoman"."
"Hey, give way to the one in front, you're blocking me."
"So young, he looks like he's only in his twenties. Was it really him who directed "Dao Ma Dan"?"
"You don't read the news? Others advance royalties to make movies when they are 18 years old."
"..."
Due to the catastrophe of those ten years, college students these years are all older. Xiang Zhang Yimou only graduated from college three years ago, but he is already in his thirties.
Among the Chinese opera students who were crowding around, many were older than Kang Jianfei, so naturally they couldn't help but sigh.
The vice-principal led Kang Jianfei through the crowd, turned around and said with an apologetic smile: "Mr. Kang, you are famous, these students all want to meet you."
Kang Jianfei had already experienced it once when he was at Nortel in the morning. At this time, he could only smile and said: "I have felt the enthusiasm of the students. I am very honored to come to China Theater to give a speech."
Just after I finished speaking, the crowd suddenly became crowded. Those in the front row were overwhelmed by the crowd in the back row, and several people rushed directly towards Kang Jianfei and the vice principal.
Kang Jianfei barely withstood the squeeze. He also grabbed the vice-principal who almost fell down in embarrassment. The vice-principal held his glasses and shouted: "Don't crowd, don't crowd, everyone obey the order!"
At this time, there was no campus police in the school, so we had to rely on some school workers to maintain the scene. They pushed and pushed each other until everything calmed down.
"Yes, I'm sorry!" Gong Li apologized in panic. The marks of her shoes still remained on Kang Jianfei's shoes.
"It doesn't matter." Kang Jianfei looked at the flustered and pale face, and suddenly found that it looked very familiar, and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Gong Li." After saying this, Gong Li suddenly squatted down, took out her handkerchief and wiped the marks on Kang Jianfei's shoes.
In public, Kang Jianfei would not stand and let a girl shine his shoes. That would make him look very ungraceful.
"I'll do it." Kang Jianfei squatted down, took the handkerchief from Gong Li's hand, wiped his shoes casually, and said in a low voice, "The handkerchief is dirty, I'll take it back and wash it. You can come to see me at No. 1908 Jingcheng Hotel tomorrow.
"
Kang Jianfei had already followed the vice principal into the auditorium. Gong Li was still standing there stupidly, thinking about what Kang Jianfei had just said to her.
You come to Jingcheng Hotel No. 1908 to find me tomorrow... You come to Jingcheng Hotel No. 1908 to find me tomorrow... You come to Jingcheng Hotel No. 1908 to find me tomorrow!
Gong Li seemed to be dreaming. That was the famous international director Kang Jianfei. Ever since she decided to apply for the Chinese Drama Theater, she knew how good Kang Jianfei was.
Such a big celebrity actually talked to her, a college entrance examination failure, and even asked her to go to the Beijing Hotel to find him. Gong Li was trembling with excitement all over.
Wait. How much is 190?
Gong Li suddenly realized that she had forgotten her room number. She was so excited and regretful that she almost cried.
Kang Jianfei walked up to the podium, glanced at the densely packed students in the auditorium, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
There is a safety passage in the middle of the seats for emergency escape, but it is now blocked by students. In the event of an earthquake, fire or other unexpected situation, at least half of the people will not be able to escape in time and die inside.
However, neither the leaders of Nortel nor China Theater seem to take this seriously. It can only be said that the current domestic security awareness is too poor.
Kang Jianfei cleared his throat. He held the microphone and said: "Hello everyone, I am Kang Jianfei. I am very happy to be standing here and communicating with you at this moment..."
Kang Jianfei's pretentious and humble opening immediately won the favor of the students. The windows and doorways outside were crowded with people, who stretched their heads to look inside. There were even some who sat outside and could only hear the sound but not see anyone.
"He speaks Mandarin so well that he can even become an announcer."
"I heard that Mr. Kang is a mainlander who traveled from the SAR to Hong Kong without enough food. Of course his Mandarin is standard."
"There is a guy from Guangdong in our class. His Mandarin is terrible. He keeps bleating chickens all day long. He looks like a professional farmer."
"So Director Kang is great. Not only does he make great movies, but he also speaks Mandarin so standardly. He is also very humble. When you look at other people's speeches, they don't just talk about speeches, they talk about communicating together."
"..."
In the whispers of the students, Kang Jianfei continued: "Professional knowledge is imparted by your teachers, so there is no need to ask too much. Besides, I am also a monk halfway through making movies. I am definitely not as good at theory as your teachers, so I won't
You’ve misled your disciples.”
"Hehehehe..." The students burst out with good-natured laughter, taking Kang Jianfei's words as modesty. Who would have thought that he was telling the truth.
"Everyone here today includes directors, actors, screenwriters, and photographers, so today we have to talk about a common topic." Kang Jianfei crossed his legs and sat in a very casual posture, "Let's talk about dreams.
."
At this time, among college students, even those in their 30s and raising families, who doesn’t have dreams?
The 1980s was an era of collective pursuit of dreams. Philosophy and poetry books that would not be sold twenty years later were in short supply even with pirated copies.
Kang Jianfei chose a very clever speech topic. He casually asked a girl in the front row: "This classmate, what is your dream?"
The female classmate stood up generously and said: "My dream is to become a famous star like Liu Xiaoqing and contribute to the cultural and artistic undertakings of the motherland."
Kang Jianfei thought to himself, your idol was very tired last night, and he didn't know if he would be able to get up for lunch at noon.
After getting rid of the messy thoughts in his mind, Kang Jianfei asked another boy: "This classmate, what is your dream?"
The boy said: "My dream is to be a great director and make classic movies that will be passed down to generations."
Kang Jianfei continued to ask a few more questions, then nodded and said with a smile: "Very good, it seems that everyone has a pursuit and a dream. I also have a dream. My dream was to eat white rice every day..."
At this point, some students laughed, but most people listened quietly.
Eating white rice every day was once a common dream for Chinese people in this era.
"I think some students already know that I swam to Hong Kong because I couldn't survive," Kang Jianfei ignored the vice principal's ugly face and continued, "I don't want you to imitate me and smuggle people into the country. This is illegal and criminal.
If you don't pay attention, you will lose your head. What I want to say is that if you want to realize your dream, you must fight without hesitation...
Some of you are about to leave campus and join the society. Then you will find that there is a big gap between reality and ideals. It is possible that the life you live is very different from your dreams.
, how should you make a decision at this time...I don’t want to make any big claims, I just want to talk about my experience in Hong Kong."
Hearing this, both students and teachers were waiting expectantly for Kang Jianfei to continue speaking. Although some newspapers had reported on Kang Jianfei's deeds, the content was very general and not as attractive as Kang Jianfei's own words.
Of course, there are various short stories about Kang Jianfei in "Reader's Digest". For example: Kang Jianfei lived on the streets when he was down and out. One day he met a beggar in Hong Kong. The beggar found Kang Jianfei picking up books from the garbage, so he laughed at him and said,
:You can't even afford food. Why are you reading? Kang Jianfei replied contemptuously: So you are a beggar, and I am just a temporary homeless person!
This kind of article is nonsense at first glance, but it can convince the current Chinese people, and it has brought a group of loyal fans to Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei boasted and said without drafting: "When I first went to Hong Kong, I was introduced by my cousin to work on the set of Shaw Brothers Pictures, and I helped move the props. Depending on the situation, I pretended to be a dead body or a passerby.
During the meal, I, a mainland kid who had just arrived, was looked down upon by the Hong Kong people. There was almost no meat in the lunch box. My cousin meant that he asked me to learn Kung Fu from a master. From now on, I would earn a living as a dragon and tiger martial artist.
.Dragon Tiger Martial Arts Master, you may not understand that the villains in Cheng Long’s kung fu movies are beaten up, and there are also stand-ins that you can’t see. Although they make a lot of money behind the scenes, they will be injured after being around for a few years... I took it
The novel I wrote went to the "Ming Pao" newspaper. They didn't like my manuscript, so I submitted it to "Oriental Daily". What was the result? My novel increased the sales of "Oriental Daily" by tens of thousands...
When I said I wanted to make a movie, my friends all advised me, saying that you should use the little money you have to buy a house. If you lose money, you will have to sleep on the street. When my movie started, all the walk-ins and odd jobs in Shaw Brothers looked at me.
Joke, what was the result? My debut film "Happy Ghost" became the first Hong Kong movie to have a box office of over 1,000..."
Kang Jianfei began to brag in an exaggerated manner, often just to show off and go off topic. The students below burst out in exclamation from time to time, because Kang Jianfei's story is a legend, which always makes people feel incredible.
"If you make up your mind to do something, no matter how many people question it or laugh at it, as long as you think it is right and it does not harm the interests of others, then you must persist. Persistence does not necessarily mean
You can succeed, but you will definitely not succeed if you don't persist." Kang Jianfei, who didn't talk about the truth, started to talk about the truth again, "You will definitely encounter setbacks, doubts and ridicule when you graduate from Zhongxi Drama. If you want to get through the difficulties,
If you want to succeed, you must be determined. Success does not happen overnight. Success is the result, not the process. The process is persistence again and again and every drop of sweat..."
Kang Jianfei rambled for more than an hour, during which he drank a lot of water because he was thirsty. Finally, it was time for students to ask questions.
First, a girl asked what many people had wondered: "Mr. Kang, why are you so talented? You can write songs, compose music, make movies, and write novels."
Kang Jianfei joked: "It mainly depends on learning and accumulation, and it also requires a certain amount of talent. Of course, you also need to be self-aware. For example, my writing is very poor. For the first novel, I made up the plot, and my cousin wrote it. In the end, everyone divided the manuscript fee.
."
Kang Jianfei deliberately revealed the matter of having someone write for him as a ghostwriter because he also wanted to show off his shortcomings, otherwise being too perfect would arouse suspicion.
Sure enough, when he said this, many people felt balanced. It turned out that Kang Jianfei was not omnipotent.
Another boy asked: "Director Kang, the classmates in our class went to watch your "Dao Ma Dan" a few days ago. How do you handle the boundary between art and popular music?"
Kang Jianfei said: "Making movies in Hong Kong is different from here. Mainland directors make movies. As long as they make good movies, it doesn't matter whether they can make money at the box office. But that's not the case in Hong Kong. Directors there must be responsible for the box office. You want to play
Art is fine, but you can’t make money if you don’t play it, and you may never have a movie to make in the future. Therefore, when I made "Dao Ma Dan", although I was making a movie for my own company, I had to abide by this principle, otherwise the company
I am the one who is unlucky when I go bankrupt. Before shooting the movie, I will think about what the audience likes to see. This is the so-called popular part. Then I will think about how this movie can perfectly express my point of view and how to present it better.
Those film techniques, this is the so-called art department. The combination of the two is a "Dao Ma Dan". If the art and the popular conflict, I will abandon the art and choose the popular. After all, I have to ensure the box office. And you can be different.
The choice, that is, the art part is the first priority, but generally speaking, I feel that it cannot be discarded, because the public does not like to watch the film produced, and to a certain extent, this film is a failure."
"Thank you, Director Kang, for your answer." The boy said with satisfaction.
Kang Jianfei took another sip of water. He had been talking for several hours at Nortel in the morning, which was really a waste of water for him. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
