“It’s good, and the price is not expensive.
"Brother, there are a lot of crops, fruit trees, and other things planted around here. Don't try to do anything sneaky. If you get caught, it will be terrible. If you want to eat, just buy it." Zhang Qiurui warned her brother.
"I know all that."
"Brother, I know the way now. You're going to live here for a while, so I'll go buy some rice and flour from the villagers for you to eat.
First, familiarize yourself with the surrounding area and the bus to the city. Over the next few days, figure out how to get to People's Literature. I'm going there next Sunday." After Zhang Qiurui sent her second brother away, she went into the kitchen and opened the Trade Supermarket.
She bought 100 kilograms of rice, 50 kilograms of flour, 100 eggs, two pieces of bacon, some fresh vegetables and fruits, oil, salt, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, bowls and chopsticks, etc., enough for her second brother to eat for a while.
After putting everything in place, Zhang Qiurui carefully checked again to make sure that no daily necessities were left out.
After waiting for her second brother in the house for a while, seeing that he had not returned yet, Zhang Qiurui left a note, locked the door and went back to school.
That evening.
The cafeteria is a place to welcome new students. With colorful flags flying and lanterns hanging high, the atmosphere is filled with a welcoming atmosphere.
These days, there are few places in the entire film academy with electricity. Except for the cafeteria and a few classrooms used for teaching, the dormitories and other places still have to rely on kerosene lamps or candles for lighting.
"Qiurui, here, this is your small stool. When you come to the cafeteria for class in the future, you must bring your small stool with you to sit on." When Zhang Qiurui came to the cafeteria, Li Shaohong waved her hand and handed her a small stool.
Today is the welcome party, and students from the acting department of Xiaoxitian have also come to Zhuxinzhuang.
Students from the five departments of Performance, Directing, Fine Arts, Recording, and Photography sat together around several tables with melon seeds, peanuts, and some fruits on them. They ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was warm and cheerful.
Zhang Qiurui found a place to sit down, put the small stool next to him, and sat next to Li Shaohong and Hu Mei.
A simple stage was built in front of the cafeteria.
Zhang Qiurui looked at the celebrities and famous directors of later generations, and she couldn't help but feel excited and emotional.
Zhang Tieling, Zhang Fengyi, and Zhou Lijing from the Performance Department, Huo Jianqi from the Fine Arts Department, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Chen Kaige, and Xie Xiaojin from the Directing Department, and Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei, and Zhang Huijun from the Photography Department.
"Hello everyone, I'm Situ Zhaodun, the head teacher of the Directing Department. The school hasn't prepared any programs for today's welcome party.
However, everyone has to go on stage to introduce themselves, including their name, department, where they are from, hobbies, etc. Those who want to perform are also welcome to do so.
"Start with the Acting Department, then the Recording Department, the Fine Arts Department, the Photography Department, and finally the Directing Department." At this time, Situ Zhaodun stood on the side of the makeshift stage, smiling and speaking kindly to the crowd.
"Hello everyone, I'm Xie Fei, one of the instructors in the directing department."
"Hello, students. I am Zheng Guoran, the head teacher of the photography department."
"Hello, classmates..."
The opening was a brief and warm self-introduction by the teachers of Yenching Film Academy, which set a harmonious tone for the welcome party.
Each teacher's words revealed their expectations and encouragement for the students, allowing everyone present to feel the warmth and care from the college.
Following teacher Situ Zhaodun's signal, Zhang Tieling from the Acting Department was the first to stand up. He was tall and had a resonant voice: "Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Tieling from the Acting Department, from..."
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fengyi and Zhou Lijing also took turns to come on stage. Some of them were humorous and witty, while others were gentle and elegant, each showing their own personality and talent.
The students from the Department of Performance added a touch of color to the evening party with their enthusiasm and energy.
Tian Zhuangzhuang, Chen Kaige, Xie Xiaojin, and others from the Directing Department took the stage one after another, sharing their deep connection to film. Each of their words revealed their passion and dedication to film, capturing the unique charm of the Directing Department.
Finally, it was Zhang Qiurui from the Directing Department's turn to take the stage. She took a deep breath, stood up, and faced everyone present: "Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Qiurui from the Directing Department, from Xiaoxiang Province.
I've always had a keen interest in film and dreamed of one day making my own film. I'm honored to be here with so many of my classmates today. I believe that here, we can learn and grow together, and pursue our film dreams together."
As people introduced themselves to each other, the atmosphere of the party gradually became warm and harmonious, which brought people closer together and made them more familiar with each other.
From strangers to acquaintances, it only took one evening for us to establish a friendship.
The welcome party only lasted until nine o'clock because the students from the Performance Department had to go back to Xiaoxitian. In order to allow students from the five departments to better integrate and communicate, the school specially chartered a bus for round trip.

“Today’s first class, the directing department and the photography department watched a film together.
In the future, the Department of Performance will also be involved, and there will even be many large classes where students from several departments will watch movies and attend classes together.
Let’s start by watching The Brothers Karamazov. The teacher will then explain the historical background, character development, camera techniques, and so on. ” The first class was taught by Situ Zhaodun. As he finished speaking,
The old-fashioned projector began to hum, and a beam of dim and warm light penetrated the dark corner of the cafeteria and was projected onto the wide white screen.
The black and white images of the classic film "The Brothers Karamazov" slowly unfolded, accompanied by the slight rustling sound unique to old film, bringing students into a Russian world full of entanglements and explorations of human nature.
Situ Zhaodun stood aside, occasionally adjusting the projector knob to ensure a smooth and unobstructed picture.
The students listened attentively, some with their heads down taking notes, while others closely followed every detail on the screen.
Students from the photography department showed great interest in the composition and use of light and shadow in the film.
After watching a movie of about 100 minutes, Situ Zhaodun will spend 15 minutes explaining the most critical scenes in the film, analyzing one by one how the director conveys deep emotions and themes through the language of the lens.
And how to use the lens to shoot and achieve a shocking effect.
From the color matching to the combination of camera movement and clever editing, each one was analyzed in great detail, making every student present feel as if they were on the set of a movie.
