The welcome party was quite successful. It is said that in addition to regular programs such as singing and dancing, sketches, and model catwalks, there was also a group of 170-cm-tall beauties dancing in short skirts... It was the kind of passionate dance... Men and women studying art are very open-minded. , the underwear show was rejected, and some people blamed the teacher who participated in the program arrangement for being an old feudal and stubborn.
It is said that Sun Tao didn't see it at all. They were in the backstage for the previous performance, and he went to take off his makeup for the later performance. Before he finished taking off his makeup, Feng Xiaogang invited him over for a chat.
In the envious eyes of the classmates, the classmate who put on makeup quickly helped Sun Tao remove his makeup and watched him being the first to leave the dressing room.
……
It was about half past eight, just under the corridor below the teaching building.
Feng Xiaogang and his wife are both there.
Sun Tao walked over quickly, "Hey, Director Feng, how come such an ordinary performance attracted you?"
Feng Xiaogang didn't speak, but Xu Fan spoke first, "What do you think we usually do? Play chess, calligraphy and painting, go to art exhibitions and talk about art. Isn't that nonsense? He was bored to death at home when he wasn't filming. Someone invited him to watch a movie. He had so much fun performing the show..."
"Okay, who do you think I am? Even if I want to watch the fun, I can't show up casually. People will question my taste without a proper reason.
Hey, Sun Tao, you are doing well today. I don’t judge whether your rap is good or not. Your performance is all about the rhythm. ”
Xu Fan, "It's very good. I don't understand it either, but I can read your expressions. When you were performing, those little girls' eyes lit up when they looked at you. By the way, your little teacher Huang, oh, that's Huang Lei, he can be counted." When he became a singer, he said that you sang very well..."
……
Hearing Xu Fan mention Huang Lei, Sun Tao remembered that he had never seen Huang Lei in person in school. He had only seen Huang Lei's photos in the teacher's bulletin board. In fact, it is not surprising. If there is no fate, it is possible for a unit with more than 1,000 people and nearly 2,000 people not to meet each other for four years!
Xu Fan mentioned it today, and the desire to meet Huang Lei suddenly emerged.
In 2023, someone on the Internet commented on Huang Lei: When Huang Lei was young, he satisfied my fantasy of otherworldly appearance. Huang Lei now meets all my expectations for oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
In the early days, Huang Lei was definitely aiming for film and television songs. The song "I Think I Am the Sea" was quite popular back then. It should be 1998. In the MV, Huang Lei met a beautiful female nurse when he was hospitalized. The two had a secret love and separated sadly because Huang Lei was discharged from the hospital...
Sun Tao felt quite regretful at the time. After all, when he watched the MV, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, the age when he was sentimental and full of longing for love. Many years later, when he saw Huang Duoduo, he discovered that Huang Lei's daughter was exactly the same as the female head nurse in the MV. , I am the winner in life!
……
After chatting for a while, Feng Xiaogang turned the topic to the script, "Sun Tao, when I came here today, why did I hear that you wrote a script for a directing student?"
Sun Tao chuckled, "That's right. Senior Brother Xu Yang helped me shoot a MV when he just entered school. I think his level is pretty good. He said he had no idea for a graduation project..."
Feng Xiaogang interrupted Sun Tao, "I've heard that he will sign a contract with your company, but you have to think clearly. I signed a contract with Huayi Brothers. The film ranges from genre selection to novel selection to finding someone to adapt it, to preparation, and it's set." I was in charge of all the actors, and Huayi contributed money in the process..."
Feng Xiaogang might be bragging when he said this, but Sun Tao felt that it was generally right.
First, there is no need for Feng Xiaogang to tell himself such lies that can be easily exposed. Second, Sun Tao has read the news about Huayi Brothers acquiring Feng Xiaogang Entertainment Company. Therefore, in fact, Huayi Brothers are actually loosely related to Feng Xiaogang and Wang Haihua. partnership.
Sun Tao nodded, "The scale of my company is not big to begin with, and I have not planned to make any big productions in the past few years, just some MVs or commercial short films..."
Feng Xiaogang pouted. It seemed that he still felt that Sun Tao had suffered a loss. "Inspiration and creativity should be used less and less. Don't squander your talent casually. It will be too late when Jiang Lang's talent is exhausted and you will regret it." Xu Fan He chuckled on the side, but stopped talking.
Sun Tao understood that what Feng Xiaogang meant was that if you have a good idea, you should find a big director to cooperate, and find a completely unknown director to ruin a good thing.
Feng Xiaogang shook his head, "Forget it, young people, I always feel that the spring of my thoughts will never dry up, and I will never gain wisdom without doing anything. Hey, you did a good job in the show today. It was so majestic. , a little too much, the traces of acting are still too heavy..."
Xu Fan patted him and said, "Okay, Sun Tao hasn't even had a serious class yet. Beijing Film Academy doesn't let freshmen take roles because they are afraid that they won't perform well and ruin their brand. Sun Tao, we just come over to watch the fun and chat. Two sentences, the show is almost over and we are going back.”
Xu Fan graduated from China National Theater Academy and is classmates with Hu Jun (Qiao Feng), Jiang Shan (Dream Water Village), Chen Xiaoyi (foreign girl), and He Bing (Silly Zhu), and they are also veteran actors.
Of course, these details were all checked by Sun Tao on the Internet after visiting Feng Xiaogang's house. From memory, Sun Tao remembered that Xu Fan's performance in "The Great Earthquake" was really good, especially the scene where mother and daughter met 32 years later. I cried when I watched it. You know it's acting, but it's not easy for the actors to bring you into the scene.
Feng Xiaogang and his wife were chatting with Sun Tao under the corridor of the teaching building of the Film School. No one of the students who performed in 2003 dared to come and hang around, so they huddled in the lobby of the teaching building and watched from a distance.
[Wow, it’s really Director Feng. I’ve only seen his photos in the school history museum. 】
[You have never seen the movie, he has appeared in many of his own movies...]
[What are you trying to argue about? I mean, even though I went to film school, I only had a little more exposure than people outside. Not everyone across the country has seen the movie. 】
[That is, if you say so, Director Feng also did a talk show on CCTV...]
[...Shh, quiet, quiet, Director Feng and his wife are leaving. 】
[Hey, shit, Sun Tao stopped them again. 】
[Damn it, why does Mrs. Feng look a little excited? 】
[Director Feng is also very excited, didn’t you notice? 】
【Didn’t see it! 】
……
Feng Xiaogang and his wife, who were about to leave, were stopped by Sun Tao and chatted for more than ten minutes before they finally left excitedly.
……
It was already past 9 o'clock in the evening, and Sun Tao was going to have some barbecue at the school gate. Anyway, he had the day off tomorrow, so maybe he could order some cold beer or something.
Sun Tao turned around and was about to leave, when several calls sounded from behind him at the same time.
Although everyone was busy preparing for the evening performance, needing preparations and makeup, many people knew through various classmates and fellow students that Sun Tao was going to make a graduation film with Xu Yang, but they/they didn't say anything. (End of chapter)
