Chapter 323 Proofreading Speech
On September 16, the film "The Founding of a Republic," released to celebrate the National Day, was released nationwide.
This film, a tribute to the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, has captivated the entire film and television industry since its inception.
In 2007, Han Shanping personally invited Fu Yibai to serve as director.
However, Fu Yibai had only recently returned to China and was filming "The Witch" with "You Are the Apple of My Eye" coming up later. In addition, this kind of mission film involved a large number of historical figures and the balance between various parties was extremely complicated, so he declined the offer.
Ultimately, Han Shanping invited Huang Jianxin to co-direct, and China Film Group took the lead in gathering more than 170 stars from the Chinese film industry to act without receiving any payment.
From the start of filming to its release, every stage of the film has attracted much attention.
Tang Guoqiang, Zhang Guoli, Chen Daoming, Li Lianjie, Big Brother Cheng, Andy Lau... it includes almost all the actors whose names you can think of.
Several artists from Morning Light Media also participated in the film. Although their roles were small, being able to appear in such a movie is itself a form of recognition.
On its opening day, the film was screened in over 60% of theaters nationwide, and grossed 28 million yuan.
This kind of screening rate is something only films with this special nature can get in the current domestic market.
Even films made by Chen Xi cannot get this kind of screening rate in today's market.
On September 22, a red banner hung above the gate of the Beijing Film Academy, reading "Welcome to the Class of 2009".
Fu Yibai arrived at 8:30 a.m.
A black sedan stopped at the school gate. Guo Zhenni got out of the passenger seat and opened the back door.
Fu Yibai was wearing a dark gray suit, a white shirt, and a tie, and his hair was neatly combed.
The two walked inside.
There were many more students on campus than usual. The freshmen, dressed in military training uniforms, walked in twos and threes toward the playground.
Some people recognized Fu Yibai, slowed their pace, and followed his movements with their eyes, but no one dared to step forward.
Fu Yibai walked on campus at a moderate pace.
Zhang Jiandong was already waiting at the entrance of the office building.
The old man was wearing a dark blue jacket today. His hair had turned quite white, but he was in good spirits and his back was ramrod straight.
Seeing Fu Yibai approaching, he went up to him and patted Fu Yibai on the shoulder.
"They're here."
"Teacher Zhang."
Fu Yibai hugged him.
Zhang Jiandong looked him up and down and nodded.
"Still so handsome."
Who is this little girl?
"My assistant."
"Hello, Teacher Zhang, I'm Guo Zhenni."
Guo Zhenni bowed politely.
"My assistant? I thought she was your girlfriend."
Zhang Jiandong said with considerable regret.
Guo Zhenni lowered her head shyly.
"Teacher, let's go back to the office."
As he spoke, Fu Yibai pulled Zhang Jiandong into the building.
"sit."
Zhang Jiandong sat down on the sofa and pointed to the seat next to him.
Fu Yibai sat down, while Guo Zhenni sat on a chair by the door and waited.
"Director Xie will be here soon. He heard you were coming and insisted on having a chat with you."
"Of course."
The two exchanged a few words before the office door was pushed open.
Xie Xiaojin walked in, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, her hair neatly combed, and a smile on her face.
"Yi Bai is here."
"Director Xie."
Fu Yibai stood up and shook hands with Xie Xiaojin.
Xie Xiaojin sat down opposite him, her eyes filled with a touch of emotion.
"Time flies, it's been five years since you graduated."
Many of today's freshmen applied to the Beijing Film Academy because they saw your movies.
"Director Xie, you flatter me."
"It's not an overstatement, it's the truth."
Xie Xiaojin waved his hand.
"The year 'Gravity' was released, the number of applicants for directing programs doubled."
When I was recruiting students, I asked one of them why he chose the directing major. He said, "I want to become someone like Fu Yibai."
I'm genuinely happy to hear you say that.
Zhang Jiandong chuckled beside him.
"Alright, stop praising him. He'll get arrogant if you keep doing that."
The three chatted for a while longer, then Zhang Jiandong checked the time and stood up.
"That's about enough, let's go to the playground."
The opening ceremony was held on the school playground.
A red tablecloth was laid on the stage, and several bouquets of flowers and a microphone were placed on the table.
More than two thousand freshmen sat in square formations according to their departments, all wearing uniform military training clothes, forming a lush green expanse when viewed from the podium.
Fu Yibai was seated in the middle of the second row of the stage, next to Zhang Jiandong and Xie Xiaojin.
School leaders, department heads, and several specially invited alumni were also seated on the stage.
The ceremony began at 9:00 AM sharp.
The process was the same as in previous years—raising the national flag and playing the national anthem, speeches by school leaders, introduction of new students by the director of the academic affairs office, speeches by representatives of senior students, speeches by representatives of new students, and speeches by representatives of professors.
Every step was carried out in an orderly manner, with occasional applause and whispers from the audience.
Fu Yibai sat on the stage, his gaze sweeping over the young faces below.
Some people's eyes were shining, some were still yawning, and some were looking down at their phones.
He recalled that when he entered university, he sat in the audience, listening to the leaders speak.
At that time, he had no idea that he would end up like this.
During the professors' representative speech session, Zhang Jiandong stood up and walked to the microphone.
His speech was short, about ten minutes long, but it was substantial and free of platitudes. He talked about what film is, what studying film means, and what the Beijing Film Academy can offer its students.
"……………"
Film is not a collection of techniques, but an expression of emotions.
Truly good movies grow from your own lives.
Applause erupted from the audience.
Zhang Jiandong returned to his seat and glanced at Fu Yibai.
"Your turn."
