The freshmen representatives gave a variety of speeches and prepared programs with their own characteristics. Take the art department mentioned by Sun Ze as an example. In fact, the whole class drew five pictures for the school anniversary, and then combined the images in the pictures to explain A beautiful vision for the future of students themselves and the school.
The creativity is not new, but the key is sincerity.
Although the film school has an open and inclusive school spirit and usually does not impose many restrictions on students, it is naturally impossible for you to do whatever you want in a grand event like the school anniversary. It is like an essay. Some people choose to show off their skills, while others choose Everything is stable, but in the end it has to be within the range.
He Tianran and Wen Liang chose the safe option. Their speeches were reviewed by the party organization before they were allowed to go on stage, so it didn't matter even if there was no rehearsal, because now even if they were on stage temporarily, as long as they took the manuscript and read it, they could Nothing can go wrong.
Under the illumination of the stage lights, the two in their prime walked onto the stage, and the seniors or classmates in their respective majors in the audience applauded vigorously.
The Acting Department and Directing Department of the Film Academy are the two most eye-catching majors. Students graduating from these two majors, one on stage and one behind the scenes, can be said to dominate almost half of the domestic film and television industry today.
The circle of my country's film and television industry is very small, and the threshold is also high. It is a bit like the high-ranking gentry in ancient times. Before you enter the industry, your origin often determines your starting point.
Graduates from film schools or drama schools are generally called "academics" in the industry. This not only refers to the fact that they have received professional and systematic learning, but also generally refers to the influence of such a group of people in the circle. A common relationship.
This point is similar to the university theory that He Panshan told He Tianran. In other words, this is a rule that is universally applicable. The circle is so large, and people will definitely tend to have the same subjective will. relationship people.
For example, two young people want to be directors, one of them is a serious academic, and the other is from a wild background.
Putting aside abilities, they both joined the crew at the same time. The young academic must have started as a director's assistant and studied next to the director every day. They didn't have much to do, and they would just make jokes with the actresses for fun.
The other young man has to start with the dirty work of setting up lights, pushing rails, and doing other chores. Not to mention watching the monitor to schedule actors, even the photographer has no turn to change the lens. he.
This is the so-called "origin" and "faction" in the film and television industry. A sentence from a senior alumnus may be an opportunity that others need to work hard for two or three years to get.
People in this field are not fools. They understand what "talent" is, but the human nature and sophistication involved here cannot be explained clearly by the word "talent". If you want to support the younger generations, you must first choose Among our own people, if there happen to be some talented people among our own people, it would be better.
He Tianran and Wen Liang both belong to this category now. Although they are still young, they are not insignificant as freshmen representatives, but who can say that they will not be the mainstay of this circle in the next ten or twenty years? ?
"Dear teachers, leaders, dear brothers and sisters, hello everyone! I am the freshman representative of this undergraduate acting class, Wen Liang..."
Adhering to the principle of ladies first, after the host introduced the two people, Wen Liang took the lead in starting his speech.
He Tianran stood behind her, and the stage lights outlined the outline of Wen Liang's body. This scene seemed to be a repeat of history. The boy's mind was in a trance, but his heart became calmer.
Maybe she never left.
This thought just passed by in a flash, and He Tianran didn't dare to think about it further.
He forced himself to look down the stage. In the front row seat arranged for parents, in a more conspicuous corner, there sat a girl with bright eyes, still holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand.
It's Cao Aiqing.
Sun Ze, the counselor next to the girl, waved to He Tianran on the stage. The boy was speechless at first, and then smiled involuntarily.
The film school's anniversary event only allowed students from the school to participate. He Tianran couldn't even bring Cao Aiqing in, but the counselor came to the rescue and it shouldn't be difficult to bring someone in, and there was a legitimate reason like "family members."
But now that I think about it, it was Cao Aiqing who helped He Tianran take down the counselor's phone number during the meeting.
Ha, this girl will really surprise herself.
He Tianran was deeply moved.
Wen Liang's speech lasted for about four or five minutes and then ended. There was another round of applause from the audience. She turned around and looked at He Tianran, while the boy was looking at the audience.
A smile appeared on Wen Liang's lips, and she knew what he was looking at.
"He Tianran, it's your turn."
She reminded him softly, and then the boy dared to look away, and the two of them just passed each other.
On the stage, He Tianran adjusted the height of the microphone. He took a deep breath and paused. He wanted to look back and see Wen Liang's expression at this time. Would she be proud of who she is now? Will she look at herself the same way she looks at her? My back is already very straight, so I won’t make any mistakes, right?
However, when he saw the flowers in Cao Aiqing's hand again, he still held back.
He said calmly and calmly:
"Dear teachers, leaders, and classmates, good evening, everyone! I am the freshman representative of this undergraduate directing class, He Tianran..."
Yes, the speeches of both of them were very serious, and the process was smooth and smooth. History seemed to repeat itself, but it didn’t. Not every New Year’s party has to cause some commotion. Last September and this year’s September is already different. Time is changing and people are changing. Yesterday has finally become yesterday.
Those tossing and turning, the heroism, and the desperate courage and rush.
It seems that all these things stayed in the autumn when I was 17 years old.
They don't seem to be that old, they seem to be still in their prime, but they also seem to have grown up a bit.
For just a moment, He Tianran felt inexplicably sad. With flowers and applause, he stood upright in the center of the stage. He methodically faced the adults who were looking at him, his classmates, and his girlfriend. Talk about good expectations about the future.
The blessings left in that diary seem to be coming true.
However, he felt sad for no reason. He felt that something in his body was slowly disintegrating and disappearing. This feeling was so strong and clear. He obviously did everything right and completed every choice correctly, but... very sad.
Some people say that growing up only happens in a moment.
Then, the moment of He Tianran happened at this moment.
It came so quietly and quietly.
He Tianran didn't know how he got off the stage. The echo of applause was still in his ears, as if he was celebrating that he had become an adult with a bright future.
Wen Liang was walking in front of him, and as long as he stretched out his hand a little, he could catch that familiar figure, but he didn't.
"He Tianran." The girl felt something in her heart. She turned around, called the man's name, and then raised her chin in the direction of the exit. "While the show is not over yet, do you want to go for a run with me?"
He Tianran neither agreed nor refused. He followed the girl silently, and the two of them walked through the room and arrived outside the theater.
University playground, a moonlit night with sparse stars.
The night lights on the playground cast a layer of orange light on the plastic runway. Wen Liang stretched her body, and then she really started running with light steps. He Tianran's original speed couldn't keep up, so he walked a few steps quickly. Then he gradually speeded up and started jogging with her.
One lap, two laps, three laps...
"Huh... He Tianran, actually you don't need to say anything sorry to me, you really don't owe me anything."
Wen Liang wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand. While running, she spoke to the man beside her with a smile. The man opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by her shaking her head, and she continued:
"To tell you the truth, in fact, the reason why I was late was not because of my haircut, but because before I saw you today, I had been running here. While I was running, I thought about it for a long time, because I really didn't know what should I use. To face you in this state...
Later, I kept running and running, and suddenly I thought of a piece of trivia that I didn’t know where to find. It said that dopamine produced by people when running is second only to falling in love.
Do you know He Tianran, when I came back to my senses, I found that this feeling was actually similar to the feeling I had when I was obsessed with you... And at that moment, I finally realized that I The words I told you before, whether you want to stop harming me, or whether I remember to love you, are nothing more than wanting to be more greedy for this feeling. "
He Tianran listened quietly to the girl's slightly panting whisper. He slowly stopped and asked dreamily:
"Wen Liang, which one are you today?"
"I am who I am. There is no such thing as this. If you say why I dress up like this... maybe it is because I want you to regret it!"
The short-haired girl also slowly stopped in front. She turned around lightly, faced He Tianran, and said:
"He Tianran, my feelings for you started with guilt, then turned into love, and finally turned into an obsession. Someone once asked me if I could treat you without being surprised when we part, without being happy with love or hate." At that time, I felt that I loved you so openly and wanted to see you again, how could I not be surprised or overjoyed?
Later, I traveled through time, space and reincarnation, and finally we met again. I want to stay by your side and make you a better person as I hope.
But, during the year when I was still struggling with myself, you were no longer the introverted boy who needed my help. You became better and better, you were loyal to love and passionate about life. You no longer need a warm and cool person by your side to protect you from wind and rain. As you told me that night, people will eventually move forward, but I have been standing still this year. "
The short-haired girl raised her head slightly and said mockingly:
"Hey...I was the one who taught you originally, but now it's you who teach me. You seem to have saved me once again when I was in trouble..."
Wen Liang looked at He Tianran again. At this moment, something about her body finally disappeared. Her eyes turned from confused to clear. She walked slowly over and stretched out her hand.
"He Tianran, thank you, I really let go."
He Tianran slowly raised his hand, but at this moment, a voice sounded deep in his heart, just like the inner monologue in the movie, abrupt and real -
"Don't shake her hand, go hug her."
His hand suddenly stopped and he stood there in a daze. He finally understood that after this handshake, the person who had saved him, the person who had guided him, and the person who had been thinking about him in his heart would completely disappear.
This means that they can rely on themselves and go on firmly in the future.
From now on, there will only be one more equal friend by his side, and nothing else.
Just as He Tianran hesitated repeatedly, the familiar smile bloomed on Wen Liang's face again, just like the first time he saw her in that dusk classroom.
However, in the next second, Wen Liang ignored his hesitation. She once again took the initiative to hold He Tianran's hand, and the two hands held each other in mid-air, frozen.
He Tianran's vision suddenly became blurry, and he heard such a soft sentence in his ears——
"He Tianran, I wish you all the best in the future..."
Then, he felt that his hands were empty, and Wen Liang stepped back step by step. She looked at He Tianran, who had grown from a boy to a man, for several seconds, as if she wanted to remember his face at this moment, but in the end, she made up her mind. Determined not to miss him anymore, he turned around and walked away alone.
The girl's back was firm and decisive. She held her head high, looked up to the sky and exhaled, shouting something like venting and saying goodbye——
"Warm and cool!!! out!!!"
He Tianran didn't know when he burst into tears.
"natural……"
Behind him, someone gently called his name.
He turned around and found Cao Aiqing standing not far away, holding flowers in his hands and looking at him with a distressed look on his face.
He Tianran no longer hesitated, walked up quickly and took her into his arms.
Flowers were scattered all over the floor, and the boy in his arms was crying hysterically.
In the youth of boys and girls, confessions and farewells always come so unexpectedly and thrillingly. Everyone seems to be the protagonist of this period of time, but it seems that everyone has to exit at some point.
And the story between him and her finally officially came to an end at this moment.
