Chapter 17 Study hard and make progress every dayAfterwards, Chen An carried some gifts and visited everyone he knew to wish them a happy new year. Chen An, who is not in the capital, will be retained for the time being. Afterwards, Chen An went to the Beijing Film Studio to work on post-production, and the people were called back. After all, Chen An had hired them with money. It's not like they were found for free, so Chen An will naturally call them all back to you. Chen An was quite polite and only called them back on the 10th to start work officially. But since their hometown is not in Beijing, they may not be able to have the Lantern Festival dinner. But Chen An didn't care about so many things. At least before the coal boss came into being, his future was staked on this movie and he couldn't afford to fail! Chen An devoted all his attention to post-production. I went to school once after school started, and after taking leave, I returned to Beijing Film Studio. During this period, I also went to the Shanghai Art Factory to check out the animation production that was needed. As the former ace, Modu Art Studio did not disappoint Chen An and the animation it produced was very good.
This also made Chen An feel relieved and left the Magic City. By March, the film was completed, but the subtitles had not yet been recorded. However, this no longer affected the screening. Preparing to start internal screenings at the Beijing Film Studio. Chen An and some production staff were in the projection room of Beijing Film Studio preparing to start the screening. While waiting, Han Sanping also brought people over and sat in the viewing seats. After he arrived, the film started showing. The words "Run Lola Run" appeared in large letters on the projection screen, followed by the name of Beijing Film Studio, which was already spinning. The film officially began. The first thing to appear is the animated Lola, and the film plays slowly with the rhythmic music. Chen An watched with everyone else. It didn’t take long. The version shot by Chen An was only eighty minutes long, the same as the original film, and it was completed soon. After watching it, Chen An felt relieved and was very satisfied with the final film. Anyway, in my heart it is no worse than the original film. Led by Han Sanping, everyone applauded. He was also very satisfied with the film. He didn't expect that a sophomore student could actually make such a movie. "Congratulations, Brother Chen. This movie is very well made. It has a good rhythm even as a commercial movie. Also, the sweet potato chips during the Chinese New Year are delicious. My daughter likes them. I'll ask you to bring more next time you have a chance." "Thank you Director Han for your love. I also think it's almost done and can be submitted for review and subtitles. I still have some sweet potato chips, I'll send them to you later." "Thank you so much, Brother Chen. As a father, I can only ask you for help to make my daughter happy." Chen Anlian said it was okay and he had no other ideas to add to the film. He felt that the film was already completed and only subtitles needed to be added. Han Sanping nodded, without any objection: "Then I will help Brother Chen submit it for review. If you are going to send it to Cannes, then ask them to add French subtitles as well." "After it's reviewed by the higher-ups, I'll send it to Cannes for you."
"No problem, thank you Director Han." "Okay, I'll go first." After the conversation, Han Sanping did not stay long. He asked someone to take the copy and left the screening room to prepare for review. After Chen An packed up the films, put them in a box, and left the Beijing Film Studio. I found an opportunity to give the remaining sweet potato chips to Han Sanping. The matter has come to an end. The next period of time is just waiting. Chen An has done everything he should do. I have to say that Chen An admires Lin Dajiang very much. He has never called to ask about the situation in these days, and only Chen An contacted him. I don’t know whether he is just generous or really trusts the boss. Chen An thinks this is why filmmakers in later generations like coal bosses. He just wants a leading lady and doesn't care about anything else; Lin Dajiang just wants to promote his brand and doesn't care about anything else. Not a coal boss, but better than a coal boss! Chen An started to go back to school and also received targeted training from Teacher Mu. Chen An just barely passed the last final exam, which made him feel embarrassed, so he decided to strengthen Chen An's study tasks. Chen An had no choice but to bear with it. Anyway, he didn't have to go to other crews to find work now, so he was fully capable of handling the situation. I also have time to attend classes in the directing department. I just get a little distracted from time to time. One night in late March, Chen An hung up the phone with the crew who had been protecting him closely. He lit a cigarette and smoked on the balcony. The call just now was from Han Sanping. The film had passed the review and the copy had been sent to Cannes. "Huh~ It depends on fate again. This feeling is really bad. If I were like Zhang Yimou, I wouldn't have to hope for the nomination. The film festival would beg you to go." Chen An stood on the balcony, looking at the night sky of Beijing, which still had some stars in it, smoking and sighing. "After all, I am still far behind." He knew in his heart that he was too greedy and was thinking about these things when he was only a sophomore. It's a good thing that someone can invest in him to make a movie, and even he himself sometimes sighs about his good luck. If that incident hadn't happened, he wouldn't have had the money to make a movie, let alone a short film. Now I go to classes every day, take classes for free, and do odd jobs collecting scraps on the crew. I am struggling hard. "Clap!" Thinking of this, Chen An patted his cheek hard to wake himself up: "I don't want to think about it anymore. There are endless things to think about. After I finish filming, I want to be nominated. After I am nominated, I want to win an award. After I win an award, I want to win a big prize. The more I think about it, the more I think about it." "I'm only a sophomore and I still have a chance. Even if I fail like A Chinese Odyssey, the worst that can happen is that I can wait until the coal boss comes out!"
After saying that, Chen An put out the cigarette in his hand and rushed into the sewer. Even if this movie was successful in the previous life, Chen An could not guarantee that it would continue to be successful in this life. After all, A Chinese Odyssey also failed in the past and was only overturned later. This life was completed two years ahead of schedule, and he had no idea what the outcome would be, after all, even the production background had changed. However, Chen An decided to ignore it for the time being. After all, he couldn't interfere with the rest of the matters. After lying down on the bed, Chen An threw away all the distracting thoughts in his mind and fell asleep quickly. The next day, after washing up, Chen An took his textbooks to the classroom for class. When he met Teacher Mu on the way, Chen An went over to help him hold the teaching materials in his hand. "Why, have you changed your mind?" He saw through Chen An's condition at a glance. He is no longer the worried and distracted look he had before. "You see?" "Who can't see that you don't talk all day and sit in the classroom in a daze. If I don't stare at you and answer your questions, how can you still concentrate on the class?" "Hey, there was something hidden in my heart, but now I've let it go." Chen An scratched his head embarrassedly. He didn't expect that the teacher could see his condition. "Actually, I don't recommend you to make a movie. You're still young and have a lot to learn. Feature films are different from short films. But you've already raised the investment, so I can't stop you. I'll let you try it once so you can calm down." "You are very talented, have a good sense of the camera, and can write scripts. You will be successful one day. There is no need to rush. Study hard and lay a solid foundation. I am still very optimistic about you. You are no worse than those big directors." Teacher Mu was preaching to Chen An earnestly. He saw Chen An's talent, good attitude towards learning and ability to endure hardships, but the success of the short film made him a little conceited. After all, he still hopes that Chen An will study hard, lay a solid foundation, and then complete his own movie. Otherwise it will just be a flash in the pan. But when he saw Chen An now, he felt relieved. After listening to Teacher Mu's teachings, Chen An nodded obediently: "That's right, now it's finished and sent to Cannes. I have done what I should do. I don't want to think about anything else. Next, I will study hard." Teacher Xinmu was very happy to have his favorite disciple: "Well, you study hard first, and I will introduce you to a few crews for practice during the summer vacation. Now just study hard and don't think about anything else. Do you hear me?" "I heard you. I promise to complete the task!" After saying that, Chen An saluted like a soldier, just like he did last time. Then he followed Teacher Mu into the classroom. After helping him put the textbook on the desk, I took my own textbook and went back downstairs. I found a desk and sat down, ready to listen to the class.
After Teacher Mu cleaned the blackboard, he officially started the class, and Chen An was his professional question answerer. Every question had to be answered specifically, and no one dared to be absent-minded. When the students below saw this, some felt happy about it, while others felt a little envious. After all, who can't see it when it's like this? If this happened in ancient times, he could be called a direct disciple! ask for everything
