September, the beginning of the school year.
This is Lin Xiaoling's last year in film school, time flies, her original dream was to be a star, and later she felt that the director could manage the star, so she decided to be a director.
It's a naïve idea, but it was this naivety that made her admitted to film school.
From ignorance at the beginning to shooting her first feature film, Xiaoling is quite emotional.
Especially looking at the freshmen walking by, they are all full of vitality, and she feels old.
Think about it, her little niece is one year old, she has been upgraded to an aunt, and she is no longer young, and the reality is really cruel.
Lin Xiaoling came to the No. 2 dormitory building and saw a lot of fresh faces, since the filming of the two of us, she rarely lived in the school, basically lived at home.
She pushed open Xu Jinglei's dormitory and saw that Xu Jinglei was reading leisurely, and there were no other classmates.
In their senior year, acting students would go around to auditions for the crew, looking for filming, and rarely stayed in the dormitory.
In domestic art academies, film schools are well-known, and it is not difficult for students to mix roles in the crew, but it is rare whether they can seize the opportunity to become famous and famous.
There are so many students graduating from film schools every year, and very few end up becoming famous, and the success rate is not high.
"Jinglei, let's go, it's about to start."
Lin Xiaoling urged.
"Isn't it half past two, it's not even two o'clock."
Xu Jinglei looked at the watch on her wrist and said unhurriedly.
Lin Xiaoling is an anxious child, but Xu Jinglei is not impatient.
This is related to the fact that she used to learn calligraphy and painting, both of which require patience and not rushing, otherwise she will not learn anything.
"This is the first official screening, can I not be in a hurry," Lin Xiaoling worried.
After the rough cutting was completed, Zheng Dongtian asked Lin Xiaoling to play it for the students in the school, listen to the students' opinions, and revise them if the opinions are pertinent.
This is a tradition of the film school.
A big director like Zhang Yimou will also screen it at the film school after filming to communicate with students.
As for whether it will be revised based on the opinions of students, it is difficult to say.
Many students who graduate from film school will do this, and at this time, the director must be mentally prepared, and the students will often criticize and scold mercilessly.
Even Zhang Yimou's film is no exception.
For example, when Jia Zhangke photographed Xiaoshan home, he did not receive praise, but was criticized as worthless, which was embarrassing.
This is actually a good phenomenon, which shows that students are not superstitious about authority and dare to speak the truth.
But if you don't distinguish between good and bad, just blindly insulting to show your existence, it will be meaningless.
One of the reasons why the teachers at the film school maintain this tradition is to allow students to maintain their own judgment, and also to get students who are directors to adapt to this atmosphere of being scolded.
If you make a bad movie at school, only your classmates at school will scold you.
Once you are in society and make a bad movie, there will be thousands of viewers who will scold you, either you make a good movie to gag the audience's mouth, or you have to learn to bear the consequences of being scolded and not collapse.
It's also a bad taste for the teachers, who came here this way back then, and they want the students to experience it.
At half past two this afternoon, Lin Xiaoling, as a novice director, is going to experience this tradition.
"Otherwise, I won't go," Xu Jinglei retreated.
Not only Lin Xiaoling is worried, but Xu Jinglei, as a rookie actor, is also worried, those people not only scold the director but also the actor.
In the past, as one of them, Xu Jinglei felt that it was very relieving to be scolded like this, those movies were not good, but now that it is her turn, it is not so easy.
"No, you have to be scolded together, you can't be a deserter."
Lin Xiaoling insisted, "Maybe those boys won't scold you after seeing you, you must go, this is a beauty trick." ” "What nonsense?"
Xu Jinglei said dissatisfied.
Xu Jinglei knew that she couldn't hide, so she had to clean up, follow Lin Xiaoling out of the dormitory, and walk towards the screening hall of the directing department.
Along the way, many classmates greeted them.
Xu Jinglei and Lin Xiaoling have a lot of popularity in the film academy, needless to say, Lin Xiaoling is now the master sister of the director department, and her main works in Beijing are very popular and have won international awards, and her sister also won the Chinese Documentary Award.
She is also a proud disciple of Zheng Dongtian, and a figure of the year vigorously promoted by the school.
Xu Jinglei has become famous in school since filming Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, after all, this is a drama broadcast on Huaguo TV, which is enough to make other students in the acting department envious.
"Are there any particularly handsome freshmen in your acting department this year?"
walked on campus, Lin Xiaoling gossiped.

"How do I know, you want to know that you're going to see it."
Xu Jinglei said indifferently.
"You don't care too much about your junior brothers and sisters, I heard that there is a good one named Chen Kun."
Lin Xiaoling said with a smile.
In school, it's normal for boys to talk about girls and girls to talk about boys.
Those who can enter the acting department of the film academy are generally handsome guys and beauties, which will naturally attract attention, and some have acted in film and television dramas before being admitted to the film academy, which is very popular.
The freshmen of this class are the ninety-sixth grade of the Beijing Film Academy.
Lin Xiaoling chatted with Xu Jinglei about gossip, so that she could not worry so much about what happened next.
It was only 2:10 when the two came to the screening room, and there were already many people in the screening room, as well as some new students.
The freshmen have just finished half a month of military training, and are integrating into the school's study and life with full enthusiasm.
This small screening room can accommodate one or two hundred people, and by half-past two it was almost full.
This is thanks to Lin Xiaoling's fame in the film school, not that everyone wants to come over and scold her.
"Senior sister, don't worry, we have asked classmates from other departments to help us say good things, and those guys who study theory don't come here today."
A junior brother from the director department cheered Lin Xiaoling up.
In the film school, the students of the directing department naturally stand on Lin Xiaoling's side, and the students who study film theory and the photography department are the main force of criticism, because it is easier to analyze the film from these two perspectives.
In particular, the theoretical school is very professional, can criticize for hours on end, and has extremely strong combat effectiveness.
Speaking of theorists, Lin Xiaoling remembered Jia Zhangke, and heard that Lao Jia had returned to his hometown to make films.
As time goes by, when the year passes, everyone will leave school and go their separate ways.
At half past two, the two of us started the screening.
Lin Xiaoling and Xu Jinglei sat below, looking at their achievements this year, and familiar scenes passed by in front of them. t1706231537:
