Entertaining Children

"That's right, your school is about to start. If you don't tell me, I'll forget about it.? August 1? Chinese? W ≈ W ≥ W ≥. ≠ 81ZW.COM" Yin Xi suddenly said, "The next few days you will be Don't you have to wait until after class is over? Are you busy enough to run around like this?"

"I'm too busy." Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "In addition to participating in guiding the layout and construction of the conference venue, I also have to prepare the pictures needed for the conference. I also plan to write a few songs for the background music at the conference. In addition to writing songs , I still need to find singers and bands to record. It’s just a few days, I have to be busy with so many things, I definitely don’t have time to go to school, so I plan to ask the teacher for leave after registering today.” University is not like high school , Xiao Yao has long since lost the obsession with not wanting to ask for leave.

"Ask for leave on the first day of school? Is it appropriate? Will your teacher approve it?" Yin Xi asked worriedly.

"You have to ask whether it suits you or not." Xiao Yao smiled, "Besides, I have to go to France in a while, and I have to ask for leave. I have to ask for early and late, so I can invite them together."

At this time, the sound of someone moving downstairs suddenly sounded, and someone should have come to work in the office area below. Since Xiao Yao didn't close the office door after he went out to wash his face, and it was a quiet morning with few people, the three people in the office could clearly hear the sound in the office area downstairs.

"Huh? Why is my blanket gone? Ada, do you know who took it away?" A girl's voice came into Xiao Yao's office.

"I don't know, I walked with you last night, how would I know!" Another girl replied.

Xiao Yao picked up the blanket on the sofa, smiled and said to Yin Xi, "This blanket, please help me return it to its original owner."

"Minyi, let's go!" Saying that, Xiao Yao stuffed the blanket in Yin Xi's arms, greeted Pei Minyi, and was about to run away.

"Hey, you took something from someone else, why do you want me to return it?" Yin Xi said dissatisfied.

"You are familiar with the designer under you." Xiao Yao said confidently.

"Is this also the reason?" Yin Xi stared.

Xiao Yao, who had already left the office, waved his hands back without looking back, and left with Pei Minyi.

As usual, Xiao Yao didn't let Pei Minyi drive the car into the school, and got out of the car at the gate, letting Pei Minyi go back first.

Back at school, Xiao Yao didn't rush to the office to report to the teacher, but went back to the dormitory first. After staying up all night, he planned to take a shower and change his clothes.

"Xiao Yao,

Are you back early? You didn't come home last night, where did you go? "As soon as he entered the dormitory, Xiao Yao was asked by Qin Hao.

"Yeah, I haven't seen anyone for the whole day and night, did I do something good?" Xu Liang also raised his brows and asked with an ambiguous smile on his face.

The school started today, Qin Hao and Xu Liang, Xiao Yao's roommates also returned to school yesterday, but one arrived in the morning and the other in the afternoon. After arriving at the dormitory, they all found that Xiao Yao came back earlier than them from the cleanliness of the dormitory and the state of Xiao Yao's bed. When the two of them got up in the morning, they found that Xiao Yao hadn't returned all night. Now that they saw him, they naturally cared about him.

"I said that I spent all night in the office writing plans and writing, do you believe me?" Xiao Yao laughed.

"Write a plan?" Qin Hao asked strangely, "Which company did you go to work as a clerk? Which company has such a big face that it can let you, a big star, work part-time? And let you work overtime all night?"

"My own company." Xiao Yao continued to laugh.

"Your own company? Have you started a company? In Shanghai?" Xu Liang also called out.

"I didn't open it either. I built a fashion brand together with others, and it was hung under the banner of someone else's studio. There will be a press conference next week. I am the person in charge, so I wrote a planning book myself." Xiao Yao said .

"You're only a freshman, and you already have your own personal brand. There's really no comparison between people." Xu Liang sighed. It is not a new thing for celebrities to have their own personal fashion brand now, and the two of them understood what was going on when they heard it.

"Are you comparing with him?" Qin Hao patted Xu Liang's shoulder and said comfortingly, "How many seniors in our school who have graduated for several years are not as famous as he was before entering school? What do you compare with him?"

"That's true." Xu Liang nodded, calmed down, and then turned to Xiao Yao, "Your brand press conference should be the kind of fashion conference with models on the catwalk, right? Are there many celebrities who will be there? ? Can we go and see it too?"

"It is true that there are fashion shows, and stars from the fashion and entertainment circles will also be invited to attend." Xiao Yao nodded, and continued, "If you want to go, I can help you get two general admission tickets to be an audience , but I will be very busy at that time, so I won’t be able to accompany you, you... especially Xu Liang, you must promise me that you will not run around at that time, especially around the backstage and the celebrity guests, don’t run around casually!"

"No problem," Xu Liang immediately assured, "We are from the Department of Performing Arts, and we will enter the entertainment industry to become actors and stars after graduation. There is still a bit of arrogance."

"The star probably isn't interested, but it's hard to say about the background." Qin Hao smiled and dismantled Xu Liang's stage, "But don't worry, I will help you watch him, so that he won't embarrass you!"

"Don't you want to go backstage where the models are staying? Who will be watching whom?" Xu Liang retorted.

"Also, try to keep this matter a secret for me." Xiao Yao said, "Don't make the whole department know about it in advance. I don't have so many spectator tickets to get all the forty-eight people in our department. .”

Excluding the invited celebrity guests, there were only less than 200 ordinary audiences at the scene, and it was certainly impossible to turn a quarter of the audience into my classmates.

"Don't worry, we will keep it secret." Qin Hao said, "If others find out, and you don't have a ticket to take out, maybe someone will come and grab it from us! I dare not say to others, Gege is absolutely capable of doing this Something to do."

"That's right," Xu Liang nodded again and again, "Ge Ge can definitely do this!"

"Okay, that's it. I'll get the tickets back for you when I come back at night." Xiao Yao said.

Half an hour later, after taking a shower and changing clothes, Xiao Yao went to complete the reporting procedures, and went to the head teacher, Teacher Cui, to ask for leave.

"Ask for leave on the first day of school?" Teacher Cui asked noncommittally after hearing Xiao Yao's intention, "How long will it take?"

"Well... there is no class today, and it will be six consecutive days starting from tomorrow. By the way, it also includes two days of weekends, so it should be regarded as a four-day leave." Xiao Yao said.

Colleges are relatively lenient in asking for leave for students, and for students in the acting department, applying for drama does not prohibit students from taking long vacations to film during school. In terms of Xiao Yao's grades last semester, it's not a problem to just ask for a four-day leave.

But before Mr. Cui responded, Xiao Yao continued, "After taking these four days off, I will come back for two days of class, and then I will take about a week off. I'm not sure about the exact days. .”

"What are you doing?" Teacher Cui asked strangely, "At the beginning of school, you will be absent for a week, then come to class for two days, and then you will be absent for another week or so, just for fun?"

"The previous week was because I was preparing for a new brand fashion launch." Xiao Yao explained, "I am the person in charge of the launch and also the planner, and I have to participate in various preparatory activities in the early stage, so I asked for leave. "

"Brand launch event? You are studying acting. I know you are a singer and photographer, but you spend a week planning brand launch events for others? Are you changing careers?"

"It's not for others, it's for myself." Xiao Yao said, "It's a joint brand created by me and others. Of course, you have to be more careful about your own brand. If I'm not satisfied with the conference plan given by the company, I'll do it myself. gone."

"Your own? Now you have your own personal brand. Congratulations." Teacher Cui laughed. This is common in the entertainment industry, and Teacher Cui has no opinion on it, and is even happy to see the success of the student's personal brand.

"Thank you teacher." Xiao Yao said, "Then it's fake?"

"Sure." Teacher Cui said, "But it's only been a week. What's going on in the next week?"

"The next week's vacation is because I'm going to France in mid-March." Xiao Yao said.

"Going to France? What's the matter? Don't tell me you're going on a trip. If you want to go on a trip, wait until the holidays." Teacher Cui said.

"Of course not to travel." Xiao Yao said, "I made a short film during my summer vacation and sent it to the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival. Now I have been notified that my short film has been shortlisted for the International Film Festival In competition, I have to go to Clermont-Ferrand for the film festival."

"Clémont Ferrand? "Short Film Cannes"?" Teacher Cui asked in surprise, "Which director's short film did you shoot, and which director did you go with?"

"Short Film Cannes" is not Cannes after all, and the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival is far behind Cannes in terms of popularity. In China alone, the red carpet show in Cannes has been broadcast live on CCTV's movie channel since seven or eight years ago, and CCTV will also send a special interview team to Cannes to conduct interviews and reports. All kinds of relevant news reports will also be flooded in the entertainment news and related entertainment media of various TV stations.

As for the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival, known as "Short Film Cannes", there are only a few written reports published in professional film magazines and media, and this has to be the case that there are Huaxia directors who have won awards. Not to mention TV news, these text reports rarely even have pictures.

But Clermont-Ferrand is a film festival called "Short Film Cannes" after all. Although its popularity is not high among ordinary people, its artistry still has a high status in the eyes of professionals.

As an actor, Ye Jiaying knows about "Short Film Cannes", and of course Teacher Cui, who is engaged in acting teaching, also knows. "Short Film Cannes" also judges awards, but because the overall length of short films is short, there are no performance awards and technical awards. The awards set are for the short film as a whole, so the honors are generally won by the director.

Because the artistry of this film festival is too high, considering Xiao Yao's age, occupation and family situation, Teacher Cui subconsciously thought that Xiao Yao's "shooting" a short film meant participating in a film directed by a certain director. The short film was brought to Clermont Ferrand by that director to increase his knowledge.

"It's not a short film by any director. I wrote, directed, and acted in it myself." Xiao Yao said, "There are no performance awards and technical awards in this short film award, so I'm going to go alone."

"You wrote, directed, and acted yourself?" Teacher Cui was really surprised, and asked in confirmation, "You directed it alone? Did you not cooperate with anyone?"

"Yes." Xiao Yao nodded and said, "Self-directed and self-acted, there must be someone on the scene to help me call the start and click, but he can't even be regarded as the executive director. The work of directing is done by me alone."

Strictly speaking, Xiao Chengru's job on the set is acting as a guidance consultant, and all decisions are made by Xiao Yao. Xiao Chengru is indeed not an executive director, let alone a co-director.

"Do you know? If any of our directing students can make a short film that is shortlisted for the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival competition, it doesn't matter whether they win the prize or not, they can win the prize." This short film has been applied to the school for early graduation as a graduation work, and the school is very likely to give him the graduation certificate and degree certificate in advance." Teacher Cui said.

"There is such a thing." Xiao Yao said in surprise this time.

"En!" Teacher Cui nodded, looked at Xiao Yao with complicated eyes, and said, "Do you want to transfer to the director department? I remember you said during the art exam that you actually wanted to take the director department."

"Uh..." Xiao Yao said with some embarrassment, "I did say that. But the director department did not recruit students last year, and I have already entered the acting department, and now I don't really want to transfer to the department."

"That's right, you can graduate from the directing department at your level. Now that you have obtained a degree certificate from the directing department, there is really no need to transfer to another department." Teacher Cui said.

"Ms. Cui, I'm a student of the Department of Acting. As an actor, I can't graduate early in short films shortlisted for the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival. What about my next week's vacation?" Xiao Yao asked Cui again. said the teacher.

"Since we are going to the "Short Film Cannes", the leave is of course allowed, as long as it takes." Teacher Cui said with a smile, "It's best to come back with an award in one go, and our acting department can also show off in front of the directing department. "
