Chapter 2 Peking Film Academy
Two weeks later, Zhang Ran walked out of Anzhen Hospital with his suitcase in his arms.
Zhang Ran’s relationship has not been transferred to Nortel. He cannot be considered a person from Nortel. He fell and could not be considered an industrial injury. He could only bear the medical expenses himself. The number of days of treatment in municipal hospitals, the hospitalization fee plus the miscellaneous medical expenses is really astronomical. The nurse at the counter charges took more than ten minutes to calculate it, and emptied all the money he had saved in the United States.
It was really hard for several years, and I fell back to before liberation!
Fortunately, Zhang Ran completely integrates the memories of Beijing Film Academy. This memory seems to have become something he has experienced in his life. As long as he thinks about it, the memories will naturally appear in his heart, and they are all extremely clear.
These days, Zhang Ran has also thought about his own path clearly, and he still wants to make a movie.
Of course, this is very difficult. Now it is 2001, the lowest point in Chinese films. At this time, Chinese films have not yet entered the era of commercial films. It will be until the end of 2002 that Zhang Yimou's "Hero" will be released and the curtain will be revealed. Except for Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang and other few directors, most of the movies are losing money, and very few people are willing to invest in making movies.
In this case, if a new director wants to get investment, the possibility is almost zero. The first film of a new director in China is basically funded by himself. Jia Zhangke's "Going Home to the Hill" was raised by Jia Zhangke and his photography team together; Ning Hao's "Incense" spent all the money he earned from filming commercials; Li Yang mortgaged his house in order to film "Blind Mountain".
In fact, it is not only China, but the whole world is like this. Why should others believe in you if you have no fame? The reborn person is not a god. It is impossible for him to lie on the ground and he can't be able to lie on the sky!
Compared to this, joining Nortel is really the best choice. Nortel has two huge advantages. First, its huge connections. The entire film and television industry, from film production to film distribution, there are people from Nortel in every link. It is no exaggeration to say that Nortel occupies half of Chinese films, and becoming a Nortel teacher has a huge connection; second, Nortel has its own film factory - Youth Film Studio. The purpose of the establishment of the Youth Film Studio is to give students the opportunity to teach internships and teachers the opportunity to practice. As a teacher of Nortel, Zhang Ran naturally has the opportunity to make movies, which is much easier than going out to invest.
The sun above his head was spraying with poisonous flames, making people's scalp smell burnt. Zhang Ran suddenly remembered the situation when he graduated from the theater in 2006 and came to the capital to explore. It was also August, and the sun was so poisonous. At that time, Zhang Ran was full of hope and felt that there were infinite possibilities. In the end, he was thrown into hell because of a sentence from Feng Xiaogang.
But this time it was different. Zhang Ran is no longer a ignorant boy who was just starting out. He has memories of the next 14 years and knowledge of two lives. He believes that he will not fail this time!
Zhang Ran took a deep breath, and the scorching air almost burned the lungs. He raised his hand to attract a taxi and took it in.
"Go to the Peking Film Academy!"
This time Zhang Ran was very careful when he went upstairs, for fear that the tragedy would happen again, but the smart man would not fall twice in the same place. He successfully came to the dean's office of the Dean of the Performance Academy and met Professor Chen Jianfeng, the dean of the Performance Academy.
Chen Jianfeng is in his fifties, not tall, with a thin face, but his eyes are bright and bright, as if he can see the hearts of people.
He raised his hand and pointed to the chair opposite him, and smiled and said, "Come on, sit down, how is your physical condition? You have completely recovered, right? If you don't get well, don't be discharged from the hospital in a hurry. Your body is the capital of the revolution, so you can't be careless!"
"Thank you, Dean!" Zhang Ran sat down on the chair opposite Chen Jianfeng, looking helpless, "I'd recovered long ago. If the hospital hadn't had to observe for a few days, I would have been discharged from the hospital!"
Chen Jianfeng nodded slightly: "The Party Committee of the Institute has held a meeting to discuss your work. You are responsible for the performance class teaching of undergraduate classes in Level 2001 and serve as the head teacher. Do you have any ideas about such an arrangement?"
Zhang Ran frowned. The class teacher and performance teacher had less time to do other things by himself, but he nodded and said, "Thank you for the trust of the school. I must do my job well. But I don't have the experience in teaching, so I'm afraid of making mistakes that I shouldn't have made."
Chen Jianfeng seemed to see through Zhang Ran's thoughts and said earnestly: "It doesn't matter if you don't have experience. All teachers come here like this. The key is to treat students with sincerity. I have seen your abilities, so believe in yourself!"
Speaking of this, he paused and looked at Zhang Ran and said solemnly: "Zhang Ran, I recruited you. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you, so you must not relax yourself at work. You must work diligently and teach students well!"
"Director, don't worry, since I chose to come to Beijing Television as a teacher, I am ready to teach and educate people!" Zhang Ran felt that Chen Jianfeng was giving a hint of himself and replied with great certainty.
Chen Jianfeng nodded: "To be honest, in terms of performance, we, Beijing Film Academy, lag behind the Central Academy of Drama, and the new things were brought in by the Central Academy of Drama. In the early 1980s, Zhou Caiqin went to the Central Academy of Drama to take classes and brought back the performance-based things from the UK. In the past two years, Jiang Ruoyu returned to the Central Academy of Drama to teach and brought back the method-based things. And what about our Beijing Film Academy? We are following the footsteps of the Central Academy of Drama! No matter whether others can accept it or not, as the dean of the Performance Academy, I cannot accept it! I hope that our Beijing Film Academy can take out our own things and explore a path that belongs to our Beijing Film Academy!"
Zhang Ran suddenly felt the pressure. He came to Beijing Electric for the connections and resources of Beijing Electric. He hoped to start his own film journey as soon as possible with the help of the Beijing Electric platform. Of course, he also prepared to be a teacher and planned to teach students well. But now Chen Jianfeng not only needs to teach himself, but also explore the path for Beijing Electric's performance. He felt the pressure was a little too high and said with a wry smile: "Dean, you are putting a burden on me!"
Chen Jianfeng smiled and said, "Young people just need to put on burdens and go forward. Old men like me are powerless even if they want to go through. Don't be afraid of making mistakes, and don't be afraid of failure. There is nothing that can't be done when engaging in teaching and research. The school supports exploration and innovation!"
What else can Zhang Ran say? He could only say with his head held high and said: "I will apply what I have learned abroad to teach, do my best to teach students well, and strive to make achievements in theoretical research!"
Chen Jianfeng was very satisfied with Zhang Ran's answer and took out a key and a teacher-specific meal card from the drawer: "You just came back from abroad and have no place to live, so you live in the school's single dormitory. This is the meal card in the school cafeteria. Just recharge the money and go in. Our school cafeteria is not bad! You can clean up the equipment you should add. If you have any difficulties in life, you can report to the school and the school will help you solve it!"
"Thank you, Dean Chen. I don't know if my partner is in school? If you have time, I want to meet them and communicate as soon as possible so that there will be no trouble after school starts." Zhang Ran took the key and meal card and put it away.
Chen Jianfeng looked at Zhang Ran with praise. Many people who returned from studying abroad were arrogant and could not handle their relationship with their colleagues well. Zhang Ran knew how to communicate with colleagues as soon as he came. This was beneficial to his work: "The school has arranged two assistant teachers for you, one who graduated from undergraduate studies last year, and the other who was studying for graduate students. I called them over and you can get to know each other."
As he said that, he picked up the phone on his desk and dialed it over: "Zhou Zheng, come to my office and call Li Xinyue over by the way."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Jianfeng introduced the teaching of Beijing Television to Zhang Ran.
Beijing Film Academy’s performance class has always been completed by one teacher, and two assistants. When taking the performance class, the main teacher stands in the middle, and the students are lined up on both sides. The main teacher is responsible for the lecture, and the two assistants are responsible for correcting the students’ performance. Famous teachers do not even give lectures directly. They only focus on the general direction and formulate teaching plans, and the others are completed by the assistants.
Many people know that Huang Lei is a teacher at Beijing Film Academy and wants to teach students performance classes, but he has to film many TV series every year, and the time is obviously conflicting. Many people find it strange that Huang Lei is filming all day long, so can students learn well?
In fact, this is the reason. Huang Lei is only responsible for regularly formulating teaching progress and assigning teaching tasks and standards to the teaching assistants; and the real teaching content is mostly completed by the teaching assistants, so Huang Lei has plenty of time to film.
Chen Jianfeng didn't introduce it a few times, and the door was knocked open.
The one who came in was a man and a woman. The man was twenty-four or five years old, not very handsome, but clean and bright, and looked very literary and artistic. She was the type that female literary youth liked; the woman was twenty-two or three years old, very pretty and tall, and the combination of a white shirt and black trousers made her heroic and very capable.
Zhang Ran knew that his assistant coach had arrived, stood up and said with a smile: "My name is Zhang Ran. I am a newcomer who just arrived at Beijing Electric Power this year. Please take care of me."
Seeing that Zhang Ran was very modest, Chen Jianfeng nodded in his heart and smiled and introduced: "Let me introduce you to you. Zhang Ran, the master's degree from the University of California, Los Angeles, is a newly introduced young talent from our college this year. He is responsible for the performance classes of the undergraduate class in Level 2001. You two are his assistants."
The two were surprised to hear Zhang Ran graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles.
Nowadays, Chinese people want to go abroad, and many celebrities have transformed into foreigners. Graduates of film majors at the University of California, Los Angeles basically stay in the United States, and it is too rare for those who return to China. Nortel rarely introduces teachers from outside, and even those who come back abroad are sent by Nortel itself.
Chen Jianfeng introduced the two to Zhang Ran. The man was named Zhou Zheng, a graduate student led by Chen Jianfeng, and his undergraduate degree was from the Film and Television School of Sichuan Normal University. The woman was named Li Xinyue, a graduate of the undergraduate class of 1996. She was classmates with Huang Xiaoming and Zhao Wei. She stayed at school last year and taught a training class in the school for one year.
After Zhang Ran and the others met each other, Chen Jianfeng said: "Zhang Ran had just returned from abroad and didn't know the situation of our school. You should help him more. He lives in a single dormitory and may not find a place. You can take him to settle down!"
"Dean, leave it to us!" Li Xinyue smiled, then looked at Zhang Ran and said enthusiastically, "Teacher Zhang, let's go!"
