As soon as I got off the car, a boy with glasses came up to me.
"Hello, Teacher Su, my name is Xie Wenguang. I was supposed to pick you up, but I'm really sorry."
Su Yan smiled. The other person was a young man in his early 20s, who seemed a little cautious.
"Don't call me teacher. I can't afford it. Just call me senior. It's more cordial."
"Okay, senior." Classmate Xie said without being pretentious: "I thought you would arrive tomorrow and didn't contact me in advance. It's my fault."
Su Yan followed him into the guest house: "I changed my plan temporarily, don't take it to heart."
All the procedures were completed with the help of classmates and delivered to the door of the room.
"Senior, you can decide the specific content of your speech. You can hand over the materials you need to me tomorrow.
The time is 2 p.m., Multimedia Classroom No. 3, you should remember where it is."
Su Yan nodded: "Approximately how many people will participate?"
“I know there are more than a hundred people, but the student union has also issued a notice, so it’s hard to say how many people will come.
However, the classroom can seat up to nearly 600 people, and I heard that some leaders will also come.
You should rest first. If you need any help, please call me anytime. I won’t disturb you."
After Su Yan thanked him, the two parted ways. Before they could put down their bags, Professor Zhang called.
After chatting for a while, the teacher was still the same as before. He didn't talk much and only talked about the key points. He was very happy and looking forward to it, which doubled Su Yan's pressure.
In front of the computer, I thought about it for a long time, overturned the fancy things before, and decided to simply start from myself.
The next day.
Su Yan in the background was taking a deep breath, and things were getting serious.
The small lecture, which was originally scheduled for about a hundred people, ended up being full, and the aisles were packed with people. I heard that there were many people who wanted to enter, but there were no seats. Several school leaders and professors also came.
If Su Yan were in an ordinary university or walking on the street, there would be a high probability that no one would recognize him.
But this is my alma mater. In addition to students from the directing department, other majors in acting, photography, management, etc. also participated.
Although these young people have not left school yet, many of them have already started to get involved in various jobs in advance. Naturally, they know something about this senior who has been relatively successful in recent years.
So after I got him to give a speech, I was very positive.
When the lights dimmed, Su Yan changed into a casual suit and walked to the center of the stage.
The students were very enthusiastic, applauding, cheering, screaming, and whistling, all of which were given to him.
You know, film school students are very arrogant. Even if they are celebrities, they may not be treated like this.
After Su Yan bowed and saluted, he picked up the microphone.
"You all know who I am, right?"
"Su Yan~" everyone replied in unison.
"It's good to know each other." Su Yan smiled and said, "If anyone goes the wrong way, they are not allowed to leave. The students at the door will keep an eye on them and don't let any of them out."
After saying that, he waved to him.
A little joke won everyone's favor.
"Of course, I still have to say a few polite words. I would like to thank my mentor, Professor Zhang, for giving me this opportunity. Although I think I am not strong enough, I still came here shamelessly."
Perhaps the past two years of work have really tempered his mentality. At this time, Su Yan had forgotten his nervousness and looked at the teachers and students in the audience with a smile.
"I would like to make a small complaint here. Professor Zhang gave me this task very suddenly, and I didn't have much time to prepare. Furthermore, I was left to decide what I wanted to say.
Because of this, I am very worried. I originally had three bowls of rice, but half a spoon was missing."
There was laughter from the audience.
Su Yan walked to the side of the stage, and the screen behind him lit up, and the words "Who am I" appeared.
"You've probably all heard of the old joke that the three major philosophies of life were asked by a doorman.
Who are you?
Where are you from?
where are you going?
Well, I am Su Yan, I am 27 years old this year. A few years ago, I was just an ordinary student in university like everyone here, but now, I have become a director of variety shows.
When I was a child, my dream was to be Ultraman!
Don’t laugh, it’s really like this. When my father bought me an Ultraman model once, I really couldn’t express my feelings in words. It was like I owned the whole world.”
Gradually, I started to grow up, entered elementary school, met many new friends, and learned new knowledge. At this time, my thoughts changed. It would be fun to be a scientist. I could build a rocket, launch a moon, etc...
."
Memories one by one, Su Yan spoke in a low voice. There was nothing grand, just like a trickle.
Some students have participated in similar activities, but they feel that this senior is a little different. Instead of showing off his achievements, he lectures everyone on what to do. Even now, he still doesn’t understand today’s theme.
What is it, but I still listen to it with gusto.
After talking for about twenty minutes, Su Yan also graduated from college, and the text behind him changed to "Where am I going?"
"Actually, four or five years ago, I was a little confused when I was about to graduate. Like some of the students here, I actually got involved in some work very early.
After experiencing it, I found that it was completely different from what I imagined.
I suffered a lot and shed tears secretly.
The lofty ideals in my heart were slowly smoothed by reality. It turns out that life is not easy, and it is not as beautiful as you imagined."
Many students nodded along, but a certain leader sitting in the front row had some differences. He whispered a few words to Professor Zhang in a low voice and continued to listen.
"At that time, there were two paths in front of me. One was to stay in Yanjing and look for opportunities, which basically meant studying on the set, accumulating experience, and hoping for an uncertain future.
In addition, it is to return to my hometown, find a job, and leave the directing industry that I love.
After much thought and consideration for several days.”
Su Yan paused for a few seconds as he spoke.
"Still no answer."
This reversal got everyone laughing.
“In the end, it was a phone call from my mother that made me finally make my choice.
What she said was actually very simple.
Son, if you are suffering outside, come back. How long have you stayed at home these past few years? Sometimes I don’t see you for more than half a year.
The family does not ask you to be rich and powerful, as long as you are safe.
I heard the subtext of my mother, she just didn’t want her son to suffer and wanted to see him more often. It was as simple as that.
So, I returned to Rongcheng, joined Minjiang Satellite TV, and started my life as an intern."
Su Yan stopped here and kept touching the upper and lower pockets with his hands, even the inner pockets. After searching to no avail, he started to look around.
Suddenly a surprise appeared on his face, he walked to the other side of the stage and picked up the mineral water on the ground.
"It turns out to be here."
The students in the audience looked confused. They looked for water and went through their suit pockets. They really thought they had dropped something important.
