Su Yan patted his leg: "Now I know how difficult it is for teachers. I have been standing for a long time, and my feet are already a little sore. They have to do it for several hours every day, every year. Can everyone give them some applause?"
"
Warm applause and cheers echoed throughout the space, and several people in the front row also stood up and turned around to pay their respects.
"Go on and tell my story.
When I returned to Rongcheng, my dream, no, I should say, my current dream has not changed, which is to become a director.
But at that time, I still felt that only by making movies could I truly be called a director.
But the pressure of life immediately left me with no time to be distracted, and I was no longer embarrassed to ask for money from my family. I wanted to rely on myself for everything.
When you join a TV station, fresh graduates will start from the grassroots level no matter what school you go to or what major you major in.
Every morning I catch the bus to the office, first tidy up everyone's desks, and then prepare the corresponding drinks, water or coffee according to personal preferences.
I’m not going to lie to you, I also have a small notebook where I record this information just to avoid getting scolded.
On the set, I am the porter, props, lighting, and backup for any link that requires help. It is normal to work at sunrise and return at midnight.
In half a year, I lost a total of 20 pounds. I didn’t lose weight specially. I still ate more.
What keeps me going?"
Su Yan looked down and pointed at a girl: "What do you think it could be?"
The female classmate stood up: "Dream?"
"Okay, please sit down.
dream.
It’s a beautiful word, but it doesn’t apply to me. For someone who has just stepped out of society and is so busy every day, the word “dream” really can’t come to mind. Maybe I’m just a layperson, and other people may be different.
If you say this, you will think that I am a good-for-nothing, a graduate of a prestigious film school, and I actually work as someone's little brother. In fact, I think so too.
But there is another interpretation of persistence, which is called dead support.
When I first joined the TV station, some people were not very friendly to me, thinking that famous college students would definitely leave after a short time working there. My original intention was to let these people see that I was different.
The reward is that I know basically all aspects of TV recording. I can’t say that I can completely replace every position, but I also know how to operate it.
These cannot be learned in school.
Next, as some of you may know, I started making "Star! Foodie" and slowly got to where I am now.
Having said so much, the main point is to tell everyone that as long as ordinary people persist and work hard, you will find that it is actually easier to give up.
Okay, not funny.
You can have dreams! But the prerequisite is that you need to fill your stomach. All professions are regardless of high or low, only whether they are suitable or not.
Maybe I insisted on being a film director, but now I may be living on the street.
But now, I'm very happy.
Thank you all.”
Su Yan bowed again.
There was thunderous applause, and the students were indeed moved by this not-so-glorious speech.
There is no chicken soup for the soul, no heroic words, no random talk, only real experiences and one's own understanding to share with them.
Several professors also nodded. After so many years of teaching experience, they have had one student after another.
There are young people who soar into the sky and become famous, and there are Yun Kai who have been around for many years, but most of them are lost to everyone.
I believe Su Yan's personal statement will give these young people some new understanding.
"Cough." Su Yan on the stage drank some more water to moisten his dry throat.
"Due to limited funds, there is no host, so I will do it myself.
After the speech, naturally it’s the question-and-answer session that everyone loves.”
As soon as he finished speaking, almost more than half of the students raised their arms high, and those behind were afraid that he would not be able to see them, so they stood directly on the table."
Su Yan first reminded to pay attention to safety.
"As for me, I am a variety show director, so naturally the way to ask questions is in the form of a variety show, which is more interesting.
It’s very simple. The students you clicked can only use five words when asking questions, and the same is true for my answers.”
The hands that were originally raised were quickly retracted, and everyone was reciting silently or counting on their fingers.
Su Yan was not in a hurry and just stood there and watched.
Soon, several students raised their hands one after another and randomly clicked on the one farthest away.
The boy was very happy: "Is it really me?"
"That's right, it's you, next."
The scene burst into laughter. Everyone could tell that this was not a formal question, but it was answered directly by Su Yan.
The boy sat back with an annoyed look on his face. His friends next to him kept pushing and blaming him for wasting the opportunity.
"The female classmate wearing glasses in the fourth row in front, yes, that's you."
The second person obviously learned the lesson well and raised his palms to say each word.
“Running Man’s Creativity!”
"Wow~" Everyone seemed to be very concerned about this issue and resonated with it.
Su Yan thought for a while: "I came across this in my dream."
"Hey~" The classmates were obviously not satisfied with this answer, but Su Yan didn't care, with an arrogant look on his face, as if he could do whatever he wanted with me.
"Hu Shuai's phone number."
The person who raised this question was a fan of Lao Hu.
"Can't tell you."
"Advice to me."
"Enjoy these few years."
It only takes a few seconds to ask and answer, and more people will be clicked. The quality is certainly not guaranteed, but no one cares, and it is treated as a game.
"Okay, last question." Su Yan said after seeing the prompt from Xie in the audience.
"What are your dreams for the future?"
The person who asked the question was rather special, Professor Zhang.
Su Yan didn't pause at all.
"Variety Show Director"
After the Q&A, there was a game called "Tearing off famous brands" designed by Su Yan.
The show had just ended, it was getting hot, and the clothes for the competition were also ready.
After calling on a few classmates, a younger teacher also joined in.
Those who played were excited, those who watched were eager to try, and danced with joy after successfully tearing off the famous brand, while those who were eliminated were filled with regret.
Su Yan also let go and played. This group of people were actually just a few years younger. They were helping this one and attacking that one. The scene was a lively scene.
After the formal end, everyone sincerely bid farewell to this senior brother.
It was rare to come back to school and naturally I couldn't leave easily. I walked around the campus, which had not changed much, and had dinner with Professor Zhang and several other teachers and leaders before ending today's trip.
After returning to the room, fatigue came over me, and I sat on the sofa not wanting to move.
Professor Zhang was very satisfied with his speech. He kept praising him at the dinner table, and then he felt relieved. After all, it was not a speech written by a professional, so I don’t know whether it was appropriate or not.
After thinking about it, I booked my flight for tomorrow afternoon and planned to go shopping in the morning to choose a gift for my grandma for her 80th birthday.
