A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 356 The Popular Ballet Dancer

Due to the annual expansion of university enrollment, many universities have built new campuses. The Chinese Academy of Drama is no exception. It is divided into the East Campus and the Changping Campus. Freshmen and sophomores are basically assigned to the new campus, and only graduates will return to the old campus.

When Wang Yiming parked the car in the grove outside the east school gate, Chen Jinnian jumped out of the car in confusion and looked around at the desolate scene.

"Brother, where did you take me? The urban-rural fringe?"

Wang Yiming pointed helplessly towards the west campus. He saw taxis and private cars parked along the street on both sides of the school gate. "That's the new campus. Aren't you from Beijing? How come you don't know it?"

"How could I possibly know."

When Chen Jinnian took the art exam last year, he went to Dongmianhua Hutong and had never been here. He looked up and around at the new campus with modern buildings in front of him, then turned back to look at the bare, endless grove.

I felt a sense of inexplicable disconnection and disharmony.

"Let's go."

He said helplessly that the campus was so big that it was unknown how long it would take him and Wang Yiming to reach the end. However, after he took two steps, Wang Yiming stood there without moving.

Chen Jinnian, noticing something was wrong, immediately turned around to look.

"I have to pick up Didi later. You go by yourself. Call me when you leave and I will come back to pick you up." Wang Yiming said expressionlessly.

He was very upset after hearing this. The other party threw him more than 30 kilometers away and was about to run away. I am the boss after all. Can you please respect me?

However, he did not say these complaints out loud. He glared at Wang Yiming, then crossed the road with his hands clasped together and walked towards the entrance of the Central Academy of Drama.

According to regulations, people from other schools are not allowed to enter the Central Academy of Drama, and the security guards at the door will stop them. However, due to Chen Jinnian's age and his "don't get close to me" attitude, the security guards thought he was a student of this school. They just glanced at him and didn't even ask any questions.

The person he came to see today was Deng Xiaoqi, one of the few friends he knew at the Central Academy of Drama. He came here mainly to see how good the other party's dancing skills were and whether he could sign her.

As for the Central Academy of Drama's rule that it cannot take on roles outside, it doesn't really matter. The story is set in Hong Kong and South Korea, but it doesn't necessarily have to be filmed there. The ballet dancers' scenes are the same if they are filmed in Beijing.

He walked casually in the drama academy building. According to the message sent directly by Deng Xiaoqi, he found the classroom where the class was in progress. Through the glass, he saw the students in the class.

The 15th grade students were not taking public cultural courses, but professional performance courses. Chen Jinnian, who was somewhat curious, stood at the door and listened.

To be honest, he hasn't attended a single acting class since the start of school last year. He is either asking for leave or on the way to being asked for leave.

Because his figure standing at the back door was too obvious, not only the acting teacher but even the students inside noticed him, but no one paid any attention to him.

College is not high school. There are not so many rules and regulations. For many classes, even if it is not your major, you can go directly to attend before class. As long as you don't go in and out during class, the teacher generally won't care.

This is even more common in the acting department, as their major is the most famous in the school and also has the highest concentration of handsome men and beautiful women. Those who can enter the acting department are one in a million among ordinary people. Every year, the admission of new students attracts great attention.

If a student in the performing arts department does not have a few suitors, it will be said that there is a mistake in admissions and the teacher did not ensure the quality during the art examination.

Yu Xin, who was in class, didn't think too much about it. She just thought Chen Jinnian was an ordinary suitor waiting for a student to finish class, but after a while she found that the other party had actually listened to her, and she also felt that the other party looked somewhat familiar.

Even with a mask covering his face, Yu Xin still felt that he had seen the other person before, but he just forgot where he had seen him.

After finishing the theoretical knowledge of this class and letting the students start to discuss and exchange ideas, she thought more and more puzzled, until the name of a person who made big news appeared in her mind.

"Chen Jinnian, it's you outside, right?" she shouted in a puzzled tone.

In an instant, the students who were chatting turned around at the same time and looked at the auditor.

Chen Jinnian, who was standing outside listening to the class, was startled. He really thought that the teacher had recognized him, so he took off his mask and pushed the door into the classroom. "Teacher Yu, I haven't seen you for more than a year. I didn't expect you still remember me."

"Haha, I can't forget you. I was your art exam instructor in high school, and with the commotion you made before entering school last year, few teachers at the Central Academy of Drama dared not recognize you." Yu Xin said jokingly.

Last year, Chen Jinnian caused quite a stir, not in the mass media, but within the education system. The score of 700 and the label of being the first among three schools really made people drop their jaws.

Especially his decision to give up the first and second place in his major and turn to Communication University of China was unexpected to everyone. At that time, more than one professor scolded Chen Jinnian for being short-sighted and completely destroying his future, and he would suffer the consequences sooner or later.

Chen Jinnian smiled awkwardly. He knew what his motives were, but the commotion he caused was also a fact.

"You must be very busy. How can you have time to go to the Central Academy of Drama alone?"

"Actually, I didn't come here alone. The driver just dropped me off here and ran away." Chen Jinnian explained with a wry smile, and then the students all covered their mouths and laughed.

He glanced at his seniors and shook his head slightly. These days, no one believes the truth.

"Okay, stop joking. What are you here for?" Yu Xin said with a smile.

Chen Jinnian pursed his lips helplessly and said, "I have a movie to start shooting and I'm here to look for actors."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone, including Yu Xin, turned their attention to a handsome boy with a sunny appearance, the most famous star student in the class.

In fact, including Liu Haoran himself, they subconsciously thought that Chen Jinnian was here to see him. They were about to get up from their chairs, but unexpectedly, the other party said, "I'm looking for an actress. I'm here to see Deng Xiaoqi."

Deng Xiaoqi stared at him blankly. She only knew that the other party was coming to Communication University of China to play, but other than that, she had no idea about anything else.

Chen Jinnian was too tight-lipped and didn't reveal anything.

"Wow, Xiaoqi, you've become rich." Huang Ziqi said enviously.

Deng Xiaoqi stood up excitedly and pointed at herself, "Is it me?"

Chen Jinnian nodded, but quickly added: "It's not a big role, it's a supporting actress, and I need to know some ballet. I came here today just to try my hand at acting."

He doesn't have high requirements for ballet skills, just a basic understanding is enough.

"What? You want to be a ballet dancer too." Yu Xin blurted out.

"Me too? Who else but me?"

"Don't you know? Since the end of last year, Feng Kuazi has been auditioning all the students from Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama. Their requirements are the same as yours, they want ballet dancers. Filming just started in January."

"Ah?" Chen Jinnian was confused.
