Dreams of the Fragrant River

~: Five hundred and eighteen [speech is bra

The Central Academy Of Drama. (starter)

Gong Li walked out of the door of the teaching building nervously, and Yin Dawei next to her comforted: "Don't worry, you played well today and you will definitely pass the exam."

In the era before Kang Jianfei traveled through, applying for Chinese opera was basically the winter vacation of the previous year. But the current professional course exam is a month or two before the college entrance examination, and the college entrance examination at this time is also held in mid-July. Gong Li has just completed the final professional course exam for Chinese opera today.

"I'm not worried about professional courses, I'm afraid that next month's college entrance examination will not pass the cultural class." Gong Li said worriedly, she has been out of the list for two consecutive years.

Yin Dawei said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not that you can't take the cultural class. Your professional class has played very well."

Gong Li smiled and said, "Thank you Teacher Yin for your teaching."

Yin Dawei is Gong Li's acting teacher and the first love boyfriend of Gong Li rumored in later generations. At this time, he was in his early thirties and personable.

Yin Dawei and Gong Li have been together for more than half a year, and they do have a good impression of each other, but they haven't done anything that crosses the line yet. After all, Yin Dawei is married and has a legitimate career - director of the avant-garde song and dance troupe of the jn military region .

Gong Li was able to learn acting with Yin Dawei, and she also won it by herself. She failed the college entrance examination twice in a row (both times she applied for vocal music), and then she studied while working part-time. Last year, Gong Li worked as an aunt in the kindergarten of Shan/Dong University. When she came across a performance by the military region's avant-garde song and dance troupe, she boldly ran to the head of the song and dance troupe, saying that she wanted to join the song and dance troupe to learn arts.

Gong Li actually wanted to learn to sing, but the head of the group pointed at Yin Dawei who was directing the party. Said that person was very good at teaching students.

The head of the song and dance troupe was just overwhelmed and wanted to dismiss Gong Li casually, but Gong Li took it seriously. He actually quickly found out where Yin Dawei lived, and went directly to the door to apprentice. After visiting the door three times in a row, Gong Li's parents also dispatched the next two times, but they almost didn't kneel down for Yin Dawei.

Yin Dawei had no choice but to accept Gong Li as a student, but he himself did not know how to sing, so he could only teach Gong Li how to perform.

The two had their first class. Yin Dawei just because Gong Li didn't stand well--two legs were crossed, one of them was still shaking, and he whipped him without saying a word. In addition to his strict requirements, it is not without the intention of letting Gong Li retreat.

Gong Li was beaten inexplicably, and she was so angry that she rushed out of the door at the time. As a result, she came to class the next day. Yin Dawei had no choice but to teach honestly. It didn't take long for him to discover that Gong Li was very savvy, and she learned things quickly. Only then did Yin Dawei truly recognize this female disciple.

Some time ago, Gong Li came to Beijing alone with 300 yuan for the exam. The money was stolen as soon as he left the train station, so he could only cry and call Yin Dawei for help. Yin Dawei happened to be going to Beijing on a business trip, so he came to the capital ahead of time to send money to Gong Li for emergency help, and accompanied her to take the professional class by the way.

Yin Dawei looked at his watch and said, "It's almost twelve o'clock. Let's go to the canteen of Zhongxi Opera to have a meal. Then buy a ticket and go back to Jinan."

Gong Li followed Yin Dawei to the cafeteria. When the two of them were lining up, they heard the students of Zhongxi Opera chatting and talking:

"I heard that Kang Jianfei will come to our school in the afternoon to give a speech."

"The Kang Jianfei who filmed "The Brave Policewoman" and "Knife Horse"?"

"Who else but him?"

"True or false, they are international directors."

"It's true, he gave a speech at Nortel this morning, and it's our turn to play in the afternoon."

"Yes, yes, I also heard that he also attended the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony yesterday."

"This important thing should be notified in advance, why didn't I see the notice?"

"It should be a temporary decision. It was posted this morning. You didn't pay attention."

"Where are you speaking?"

"Starting at half past two, right in the auditorium."

"Oops, hurry up and grab a seat after you finish eating."

"You don't have class this afternoon?"

"It doesn't matter if there are classes or not, such an important speech should not be missed."

"..."

From the discussions of the students, Gong Li was able to figure out the situation. He tentatively asked Yin Dawei: "Teacher, why don't we go to the afternoon speech too."

"Kang Jianfei's movie is really well done. It's good for you to listen to his lectures," Yin Dawei said with a nod. "But there is an event in the regiment tomorrow. I have to go back tonight to prepare, so I won't accompany you to the lecture."

Gong Li felt a little embarrassed, but wanted to miss Kang Jianfei's speech, and finally buried herself in the meal, which was considered to be the default of Yin Dawei's arrangement.

...

After lunch, Gong Li took Yin Dawei to the school gate, and then ran to the auditorium to grab a seat by asking the way. As a result, before one o'clock, the seats in the auditorium were already emptied, and even the seating aisle was crowded everywhere. people.

Gong Li had to stand at the door and wait, for fear that if she walked away, someone would steal the door. After waiting for more than an hour, I finally heard someone shouting: "Come, come!"

The students around Gong Li stood on tiptoe to look around, and she also hurriedly stood on tiptoe to look over, but unfortunately a tall man in front completely blocked her sight.

"Students give way. Today we are honored to invite the internationally renowned director Kang Jianfeikang to give a lecture to everyone. Please don't block the door..." The school leaders led the way, and the students gave way, and then Curiously looked at the man behind the leader.

"It's really Kang Jianfei, who looks just like Mike in "The Brave Policewoman"."

"Hey, let the one in front of you, you're blocking me."

"You're so young, it looks like he's only in his twenties. Was he really directing "Dao Ma Dan"?"

"You don't watch the news? Others paid their royalties in advance to make movies at the age of 18."

"..."

Due to the catastrophe of the past ten years, the college students in these years are all older. Xiang Zhang Yimou has only graduated from college for three years, but he is already in his thirties.

Among these middle school opera students who were watching, many of them were older than Kang Jianfei.

The vice-principal led Kang Jianfei through the crowd, turned around and smiled apologetically, "Mr. Kang, you are very famous. These students all want to see you."

Kang Jianfei had already experienced it once when he was at Nortel in the morning. At this time, he could only laugh: "I have already felt the enthusiasm of my classmates, and I am very honored to be able to give a speech at the Chinese Opera."

Just after speaking, the crowd suddenly crowded. The people in the front row were unable to hold back from being squeezed by the back row, and a few people rushed towards Kang Jianfei and the vice-principal.

Kang Jianfei barely held back the squeeze, and also pulled the vice-principal who almost fell down. The vice principal held on to his glasses and shouted, "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, everyone obeys the order!"

At this time, the school had no campus police, and could only rely on some janitors to maintain the scene. Push and shove for a while before quieting down.

"Yes, I'm sorry!" Gong Li apologized in a panic, and Kang Jianfei's shoe prints were still left on the upper.

"It's alright," Kang Jianfei asked, looking at the flustered pale face, suddenly realizing that his face was very familiar, "What's your name?"

"My name is Gong Li." Gong Li suddenly crouched down after speaking, took out a handkerchief and wiped the mark on Kang Jianfei's shoe.

In the public, Kang Jianfei wouldn't stand and let a girl shine his shoes, that would make him look ungracious.

"I'll come." Kang Jianfei squatted down. He snatched the handkerchief from Gong Li's hand, wiped his shoes, and said in a low voice, "The handkerchief is dirty, I'll take it back and wash it. Come and see me at 1908 at the Capital Hotel tomorrow."

Kang Jianfei has followed the vice-principal into the auditorium. Gong Li was still standing there stupidly, thinking about what Kang Jianfei had just said beside her.

You come to see me at 1908 of the Jingcheng Hotel tomorrow...you come to me at the 1908 of the Jingcheng Hotel tomorrow...you come to me at the 1908 of the Jingcheng Hotel tomorrow!

Gong Li seemed to be dreaming, that was Kang Jianfei, an international director. Ever since she decided to apply for the Chinese drama, she knew how powerful Kang Jianfei was.

Such a famous person actually talked to her, a failed college entrance examination student, and asked herself to go to the Beijing Hotel to find him, Gong Li was shaking with excitement.

Wait, what time is 190?

Gong Li suddenly realized that she had forgotten her room number, and was filled with excitement and regret. Almost cried out in a hurry.

Kang Jianfei walked up to the podium, scanned the crowd of students in the auditorium, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

There is a safety passage in the middle of the seats, which is used for emergency escape, and now all of them are blocked by students. In the event of an earthquake, fire or other accident, at least half of the people die in it too late to escape.

But neither Nortel nor the leaders of China Opera seem to take this seriously. They can only say that the domestic security awareness is too poor.

Kang Jianfei cleared his throat and said with the microphone: "Hello everyone, I'm Kang Jianfei. I'm very happy to be here at the moment and communicate with everyone..."

Kang Jianfei pretended to be humble in his opening remarks, and immediately won the favor of the students. The windows and doors outside were crowded with people, and they straightened their heads to look in. There were even those who sat outside and could only hear the sound but couldn't see anyone.

"He speaks Mandarin so well that he can become an announcer."

"I heard that Mr. Kang is a mainlander. He traveled from the SAR to Hong Kong without enough food. Of course, his Mandarin is standard."

"There is a Cantonese/Dongtian in our class. It's hard to speak Mandarin. He bleats hens all day long. He looks like a professional farmer."

"That's why Director Kang is amazing. Not only is the film well done, but he speaks Mandarin to such a standard. He is also very humble. You don't talk about speeches when you watch other people's speeches, they say they communicate together."

"..."

In the whispers of the students, Kang Jianfei continued: "Professional knowledge is taught by your teachers, so you don't need to ask too much about it, and I am a monk halfway through filmmaking, so I'm definitely not as good as your teachers when it comes to theory, so I don't. Misunderstood my son."

"Hehehe..." The students let out a burst of kind laughter, all taking Kang Jianfei's words as modesty, how could they think that what he said was the truth.

"All of you here today are from the directing department, the acting department, and some who study screenwriting and photography, so today I have to talk about a topic that everyone has in common." Kang Jianfei crossed his legs, sitting very casually, "Let's talk about dreams. ."

College students at this time, even those college students in their 30s who bring their families with them, who doesn't have a dream?

In the 1980s, it was an era of collective dream pursuit. Philosophy and poetry books that could not be sold twenty years later were in short supply even for pirated copies.

Kang Jianfei chose a very interesting topic for his speech. He asked a girl in the front row casually: "This classmate, what is your dream?"

The female classmate stood up generously. Said: "My dream is to become a famous star like Liu Xiaoqing and contribute to the literary and artistic career of the motherland."

Kang Jianfei thought to himself, your idol was very tired last night, and he didn't know if he could get up for lunch at noon.

Get rid of the messy thoughts in your head. Kang Jianfei asked another boy, "This classmate, what is your dream?"

The boy said, "My dream is to be a great director and make good classic movies."

Kang Jianfei continued to ask a few more questions, then nodded and smiled: "Very good, it seems that everyone has a dream. I also have a dream. My dream was to eat white rice every day..."

Speaking of which. Some students laughed, but most listened quietly.

Eating white rice every day was a common dream of the Chinese in this era.

"I think some of my classmates already know that I didn't go to Hong Kong until I couldn't make it," Kang Jianfei continued, ignoring the vice-principal's ugly face, "I don't want everyone to follow me to smuggling, it's illegal and criminal. If you don't pay attention, you will lose your head. What I want to say is that if you want to realize your dream, you must work hard without hesitation...

Some of you are about to get out of school and join the community. At that time, you will find that there is a big gap between reality and ideals. It is possible that the life you live is 108,000 miles away from your dreams. How should you choose at this time... I don't want to say any big truths, Just talking about my experience in Hong Kong. "

heard here. Whether it was a student or a teacher, all of them waited eagerly for Kang Jianfei to speak. Although some newspapers have also reported Kang Jianfei's deeds, but the content is very general, where is Kang Jianfei's own words attractive.

Of course, Reader's Digest already has various short stories about Kang Jianfei. For example: Kang Jianfei was wandering on the streets when he was in desperation. One day he met a beggar in Hong Kong. The beggar found Kang Jianfei picking up books from the **** heap, so he laughed at him and said: You can't even eat, why are you reading books? Kang Jianfei replied contemptuously: So you are a beggar, and I am just a temporary homeless person!

This is a nonsense article at first glance. But it can convince the current Chinese people, and it has brought a group of loyal fans to Kang Jianfei.

Kang Jianfei boasted and said without drafting: "When I first went to Hong Kong, I was introduced by my uncle and worked on the set of Shaw Brothers, so I helped move the props. I pretended to be a dead body and pretended to be a passerby depending on the situation. When I was eating, I was also looked down upon by Hong Kong people as a mainland boy who had just arrived, and there was basically no meat in the box. What my uncle meant was that he asked me to learn kung fu from a master, and then I would rely on being a dragon and tiger martial artist. You may not understand that Dragon Tiger Martial Artist, the beaten villains in Cheng Long's Kung Fu movies, as well as the stand-ins and behind-the-scenes you can't see, make a lot of money, but after a few years, you'll get hurt all over... I take it The novel I wrote went to the "Ming Pao" newspaper. They didn't like my manuscript, so I turned to the "Oriental Daily". What was the result? My novel increased the sales of the "Oriental Daily" by tens of thousands... I said that I wanted to make a movie, and my friends persuaded me, saying that you should use your money to buy a house. If you lose money, you have to go to sleep on the road. When the movie was launched, all the errands of Shaw Brothers looked at me. Joke, what was the result? My debut film "Happy Ghost" became the first film in Hong Kong to break 1,000 at the box office..."

Kang Jianfei began to add fuel to the bragging, and most of the time it was purely a show, and it went beyond the topic of the speech. The students below burst into exclamations from time to time, because Kang Jianfei's story is a legend, and it always makes people feel incredible.

"If you make a decision to accomplish one thing, then no matter how many people question and how many people laugh at it, as long as you think it is right and it does not harm the interests of others, then you must persevere. Persistence does not necessarily mean If you can succeed, you will definitely fail if you don’t persist.” Kang Jianfei, who didn’t talk about the big truth, began to talk about the big truth again, “You will definitely encounter setbacks, doubts and ridicule after graduating from Chinese opera. If you want to get through the difficulties, If you want to succeed, you must be firm. Success is not achieved overnight, success is the result, not the process, the process is repeated persistence and a drop of sweat..."

Kang Jianfei talked nonsense for more than an hour, during which he didn't know how much water he drank when he was thirsty, and finally came to the students' questioning session.

First of all, a girl asked the doubts of many people: "Mr. Kang, why are you so talented, you are both writing songs and composing music, and you are also very good at making movies and writing novels."

Kang Jianfei said nonsense: "It mainly depends on learning and accumulation, but also requires a certain talent. Of course, you must also have self-knowledge. For example, my writing is very poor. The first novel was I made up the plot, and my cousin wrote it. In the end, everyone will pay for the manuscript. ."

Kang Jianfei deliberately revealed the matter of being ghostwritten, but also wanted to show his own shortcomings, otherwise it would be too perfect to cause suspicion.

Sure enough, when he said this, many people felt balanced. It turned out that Kang Jianfei was not all-powerful.

Another boy asked, "Director Kang, the students in our class collectively watched your "Dao Ma Dan~lightnovelpub.net~ May I ask how you deal with the boundary between art and popular?"

Kang Jianfei said: "The filming in Hong Kong is different from that here. When a director in the Mainland makes a film, as long as the film is made well, it doesn't matter whether the box office can make money or not. But not in Hong Kong. The director there must be responsible for the box office. If you want to play Art is also possible, but you can’t make money if you take it easy, and you may never have a movie to make in the future. Therefore, when filming “Dao Ma Dan”, although I was making a movie for my own company, I also had to abide by this principle, otherwise the company I am the one who goes bankrupt and goes bankrupt. Before filming, I would think about what the audience likes to watch, which is the so-called popular part. After that, I would think about how this film can perfectly express my point of view and how to better present it. Those film techniques, this is the so-called art department. The combination of the two is a "Dao Ma Dan". If the middle art conflicts with the popular, I will give up the art and choose the popular. After all, I have to guarantee the box office. You can have a difference. The choice of the film is the first part of the art, but it is generally considered that it cannot be lost, because the people who made the film do not like to watch it, and to a certain extent, this film is a failure."

"Thank you Director Kang for your answer." The boy said contentedly.

Kang Jianfei took another sip of water. He had been talking at Nortel for a few hours in the morning. What he was aiming at was really drooling.
