Chapter 212 Yanying School Celebration
In the first year in the class, Xia Haoyang was always alone and did not fit in with others. Later, by chance, everyone knew his identity and knew that he was so good and worked so hard, which in turn promoted their relationship. Xia Haoyang will occasionally have dinner with everyone. Today's dinner is at a fly restaurant near the school.
"Captain, this year is the 75th anniversary of our school, right?" asked Xia Haoyang, who was drinking beer and eating skewers.
"Well, our school held large-scale celebrations in the 60s and 70s, but this year it will be grand for some unknown reason. There will be a small celebration soon. Some senior brothers and sisters are now big stars. , will go back to school to visit and watch the show.”
"So that's it, can I participate?" Xia Haoyang asked.
"Of course, current students can participate, Xia Haoyang, are you interested?"
"Well, I would like to invite some celebrities to guest star in my music video."
"Are we filming Tara's MV? Can we make a guest appearance?" Upon hearing that Xia Haoyang was inviting celebrities to guest star, several members of the team expressed interest. In fact, because of Xia Haoyang's relationship, the team members all regarded Tara as one of their own. , are also fans of Tara.
Seeing these lovely teammates, Xia Haoyang nodded and agreed.
. . .
There will be a small celebration in Yanying today on Wednesday, March 3th. Director Ji and Tang Wanqi, who did not receive invitations originally, took the initiative to contact the school and wanted to participate in the celebration. Perhaps Director Ji and Wanqi had recently produced some works and gained some fame, so the school agreed that they should return to their alma mater as outstanding graduates to participate in the celebration.
Although Xia Haoyang did not have an invitation letter, no one was stopping him from entering or exiting any classroom, including the conference room where celebrations were held, with the class ID card hanging on his chest, which is equivalent to a student ID card. Everyone regarded Xia Haoyang as just a current student who came to meet his star senior. That’s all.
When Xia Haoyang walked into the super large staircase conference room, familiar figures appeared on the podium. Yanying is worthy of being the cradle of Chinese film talents. The celebrities who appeared in the slideshow ranged from directors to actors, from the front to behind the scenes. At least a few thousand photos, this is not only half of today’s entertainment industry, it is basically half of China’s entertainment industry in the past 70 years.
Such celebrations generally have some fixed procedures, such as a speech by the school leader, introducing the achievements of the students who have graduated from the school over the years, usually international or national medals and awards; of course, there are speeches by some star seniors on the stage. , such as each person's struggle process, or the help the school teacher's teachings have in their lives, etc. Moreover, the candidates for speeches are also particular about the combination of old, middle-aged and young people. What surprised Xia Haoyang was that Tang Wanqi, as a representative of young alumni, also got the opportunity to speak.
"Hello teachers, students and students in the audience, I am Tang Wanqi, a student of the 18th class of the Performance Department. Just now, all the senior brothers and sisters on the stage have humbly allowed me to say a few words. I am really scared. This year is the 75th anniversary of my alma mater. The school didn’t invite me to the celebration originally because I wasn’t good enough, but I was thick-skinned and took the initiative to contact the senior brothers and sisters who organized the event, wanting to join the celebration. Fortunately, Teacher Pei and Senior Brother Liu Chang were also in the school celebration. The members of the organizing committee let me take a back door, so I can come here and share my joy with everyone."
Tang Wanqi smiled and said that she had to go through the back door to get to the school celebration. But the students in the audience were all laughing. The big names on the stage did not take it seriously. They also looked at the young junior sister with a smile. Talking freely.
"I graduated in 22 and then worked in the Haidian Repertory Theater. When I was in school, I thought I was very good and had excellent acting skills. I thought I could play the leading role in a blockbuster. But after I came to the Repertory Theater, I realized that I was so insignificant. There are many senior brothers and sisters who are excellent in acting, singing and dancing, but I, who was originally arrogant, was nothing in front of them. The comparison with them also made me realize my own gap. Thanks to Teacher Pei, after I graduate, I can still go back to school to express my gratitude to her. Please teach me the dance that I otherwise neglected.”
"In 24, I got the opportunity to join the crew of "The Twist of Love". Thanks to the help of Senior Brother Wang, who was the assistant director at the time, and Senior Sister Xian, the heroine, they taught me a lot about the differences and habits between acting on camera and performing in theater; later I joined The crew of "Very Beautiful", director Liu Chang, and senior brother Liu Chang taught me many film acting techniques and camera positioning habits step by step."
"Whether it is in school or in my current filming experience, I have received a lot of selfless help from teachers and senior brothers and sisters. I have also asked why they help me so much. Director Liu and Senior Sister Xian are all indifferent. You are our junior sister, shouldn’t I help you? At this moment, I deeply feel that I am a student of my alma mater; I am proud of being their junior sister. Today, I want to say something to the junior brothers and sisters in the audience. The same sentence: If we have the opportunity to meet in the same movie, I will also share my experience with everyone, because this is how I got the care of my seniors. I will always consider entering my alma mater, Beijing Film Academy. Rong, I hope that one day, my alma mater will be proud to have students like me, thank you all."
Tang Wanqi's speech was quite effective. The students in the audience applauded enthusiastically. After hearing the speech, Xia Haoyang made a strange expression on his face and applauded along with everyone. During the subsequent free question session, a student suddenly asked Tang Wanqi.
"Senior Sister Wanqi, are you filming "Extreme Escape" recently, right? Are there any shortage of actors?"
Tang Wanqi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Today I am here to participate in the 75th anniversary celebration of my alma mater, and senior brother Liu Chang is behind the scenes. I suggest that everyone go backstage to block senior brother Liu Chang and let him give everyone a satisfactory explanation. "After speaking, he blinked.
The students in the audience were delighted, and then another student asked: "Senior Wanqi, are you in a relationship with Xia Haoyang? He is proud and arrogant, and he plays a big name. How could you fall in love with such a person? "The students at the scene immediately whispered when they heard such questions.
Some seniors on the stage also frowned. Today is an event held for the 75th anniversary of the school. If the issue always focuses on the private life of a certain star, everyone will definitely not like it. This is why some popular young stars will be rejected at every school anniversary event. The reason is that now the question still involves this aspect. Tang Wanqi’s speech just now was very good. The first sentence said: I am here today to participate in the 75th anniversary celebration of my alma mater. In fact, I expressed my attitude. I don’t want everyone to ask questions. In other respects, it was a pity that the students present did not understand.
