Chapter 21 Returning to School
Gu Wei did not waste any time and quickly contacted the transportation manager Guo, provided the necessary procedures, then filled out the loan application form and signed it.
"Mr. Gu, I have read the procedures you provided and there are no problems. It will take about 2 days for review. In fact, the bank just goes through a process. Once approved, I will notify you and come over to sign for the loan. Just a contract,"
President Guo said.
“Thank you, Mr. Guo, I am waiting for your good news.”
After finishing his work at the company, Gu Wei returned to school.
It has been a while since school started, and Gu Wei first came to the teacher to cancel his leave.
Their class teacher’s surname is Xie. He is a fat middle-aged man with short stature and thick hair. He wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses and looks like a teacher.
Teacher Xie is not strict in class management. After all, it is a film school and it is already 12 years old.
Although the teachers in the academy teach you knowledge and performances, I hope you can study well and have excellent acting skills.
But they also know that it is not realistic to pursue a career as an actor just by studying in school.
Everyone’s circumstances are different. Some people have become stars before they even enter school. Some people have studied for 4 years and can’t even make movies after graduation. After a few years of playing small roles, they can only Reluctant to change careers.
So when a student in school asks for leave to go out to play, the teacher gives the green light. No one knows which play can affect this student's life.
Just like Zhang Ziyi, if she had not been selected by Zhang Yimou to film "My Father and Mother" when she was in school, Ang Lee would not have asked her to play "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", let alone enter Hollywood and work hard to become a International chapter. Those are two completely different lives again.
“How is the filming going?”
Teacher Xie asked with concern.
"The filming was very good, teacher. Senior Brother Lu Yang is very talented and deserves to be a great director who has won the Golden Rooster Award. He also took good care of me on the set."
"Our class Apart from Zhou Dongyu, you are the first one to play a leading role. When you were a freshman, I saw that you were not in a hurry to go out to play, but I didn't expect that you would be the leading actor in a movie all of a sudden. You are really capable," said Teacher Xie with emotion. .
"What the hell, I'm just lucky. I'm mainly grateful to Teacher Xu and Director Lu Yang for their attention."
Teacher Xie said sincerely
"You really have to thank me. This opportunity is very important to you.
No matter whether the movie is good or bad, being released will be a great improvement to your reputation. In the future, the industry will also know that there is an actor like you.
Whenever a director casts a role, he might ask you to audition if the role is suitable for you.
Let the teacher know when the movie is released, and the teacher will also contribute to the box office. "
Gu Wei smiled and said, "I know, teacher. When the movie is released, I will invite you and the whole class to go to the cinema to watch the movie."
"Then it's settled." Teacher Xie was very happy for him.
Gu Wei reported to his class teacher that he went out to film a movie and play the leading role. After all, when I joined the group last semester, I had to ask for leave from the school. It took a long time to join the group, so of course I had to make it clear.
But he didn’t mention that he was an investor. He just said that he was chosen to film the film because the director was introduced by Mr. Xu.
This situation often happens in the academy. A big director comes to the school to find a leading role, and a young actor becomes famous immediately after his debut.
But now there are fewer and fewer of them in recent years. Nowadays, the investment in movies is getting bigger and bigger. The male and female protagonists chosen are either famous stars who can bring in box office, or artists under the film company's own banner.
The students in the school who want to play the leading role must either sign with a big company and accept the squeeze. There are so many people who want to go there but they still don't like it.
Or you can participate in some art films with low investment, as long as the director thinks you are suitable. But it’s hard to say whether the movie will be released in the end, as it will most likely go silent after filming. China invests in about 1,000 movies every year, of which 700 cannot be released.
If a movie that cannot be released cannot win an award at a foreign film festival, sell the international rights. Then you can only lose as much as you invest.
For actors, it’s just getting paid to work, without any increase in popularity.
Therefore, it is too difficult for those who have no money or power to get ahead in the entertainment industry by studying hard in school and practicing their acting skills.
Although Mr. Xu knew that Gu Wei had invested money, he would not publicize it everywhere.
In class, Gu Wei, whom he had not seen for a long time, appeared. The familiar classmates were also enthusiastic. You and I asked about Gu Wei's situation.
Many people expressed their envy when they learned that Gu Wei was filming a movie and was playing the leading role.
"Gu Wei, it has to be you, you are so lucky. Why haven't I been chosen by the teacher and recommended to the crew?" Gao Yu said with admiration and envy from the side.
"Gu Wei was spotted by a teacher from the directing department. How could anyone take a fancy to you if you don't go to the directing department?" Peng Doudou also came over to scold him.
"Okay, it's decided. Starting tomorrow, I will also go to the directing department. Why didn't I think of this channel before? The directing department is all about directing. There must be more channels for acting than us." Gao Yu seemed to be Figured something out. Everyone was excited, as if he would soon have the opportunity to play the leading role.
Gu Wei just smiled and said nothing. It was better to let these students continue to be innocent. At least their innocence can be maintained for at least 2 years.
When you really leave campus, you will know how difficult it is to get involved in the entertainment industry.
No one would want to be in a movie without money. The leading actor was bought with money.
It happened that Nazha was also at school during this time.
"Gu Wei, have you been busy lately?"
Nazha sat over and said to Gu Wei.
"Fortunately, the filming of the movie is finished, I guess I can relax for a while. I can study hard in school."
Gu Wei replied.
"Why do you always have something to do when I come to see you recently, and I can't even talk to you on the phone? I feel like you have become very alienated from me recently." Nazha said with some resentment.
"No way, I'm really busy." Gu Wei said gently
"Let's have dinner together tonight." Nazha suggested
"I'll We have an appointment." Gu Wei is going to see Zhang Tianai tonight.
"Why do I always feel like you are deliberately avoiding me during this period?" Nazha's feeling is still very sensitive.
Of course, Gu Wei was indeed keeping his distance from Nazha. Ever since he established his relationship with Zhang Tianai, Gu Wei had consciously kept his distance from Nazha. I usually act serious when I send messages on the phone, and don’t make any unnecessary jokes.
In Gu Wei's logic, since he has a girlfriend, he must give her a sense of security.
It doesn’t matter how much you try to flirt with girls when you are single. If you already have a partner, it would be too bad to go out and chat with other girls. Why bother.
If you really want to talk, you can break up with your girlfriend. Since you want to be friends, it should be based on mutual equality and respect.
It is so disrespectful to your girlfriend to still show off your energy when you have a girlfriend.
