In 1978, the five departments of Yenching Film Academy, namely the Acting Department, Directing Department, Photography Department, Fine Arts Department, and Recording Department, originally admitted 159 students. Now with the addition of Zhang Qiurui, the total number of admitted students is 160.
The Department of Performance and several other departments are not located on the same campus.
The Department of Acting was located in Xiaoxitian in the city, and the other departments were located in Zhuxinzhuang. In 1977 and 1978, Yenching Film Academy resumed its first batch of college entrance examination admissions, so the Zhuxinzhuang campus, including all the teachers and students, had only about 150 students.
The 1978 class of Yenching Film Academy produced 13 great directors and 21 excellent actors, which can be described as a generation full of brilliant stars and in their prime.
Even more dazzling than the 96th level in later generations.
The admission letter mailed by Yenching Film Academy came with a map showing where to get off and where to take the bus. I left the train station at 10 o'clock.
Zhang Qiurui and her second brother took two buses before arriving at the Yenching Film Academy in Zhuxinzhuang.
Looking at the quaint and simple campus in front of him, Zhang Qiurui's heart was filled with indescribable excitement and anticipation.
"Brother, give me the things. You spend some more money and rent a house in Zhuxinzhuang first. If you need anything, just ask the school guard to pass the message to me." Zhang Qiurui took the things from her second brother's hand with some excitement.
The things we brought from Star City were nothing more than some seasonal clothes, and the school would provide food and accommodation.
Walking into the school, you will find that the Zhuxinzhuang campus of Yenching Film Academy is not big. Several red brick and gray tile teaching buildings are scattered in the campus, surrounded by lush trees, adding a bit of tranquility and solemnity to this academic hall.
Zhang Qiurui quickly found the registration office for new students.
There were already many freshmen who had the same dreams as her. They were talking excitedly and were full of vigor and energy.
Looking at the young faces of those great directors of later generations made Zhang Qiurui a little excited and a little emotional.
"Teacher, this is my admission letter."?2.
Soon it was Zhang Qiurui's turn. She handed the admission letter to Situ Zhaodun, the head teacher of the directing department of Class 7 and 8.
A young man from the photography department next to him said the same thing as Zhang Qiurui.
"It's him." Zhang Qiurui looked at the young man next to him.
At this moment, the man also looked over, but when he saw how young Zhang Qiurui was, he showed a look of surprise in his eyes and nodded at Zhang Qiurui with a smile.
"You are Xiao..." After Situ Zhaodun took Zhang Qiurui's admission letter and saw her name, he looked up and was shocked to see that Xiaoxiang Qingkong was a fourteen-year-old girl.
Situ Zhaodun was not familiar with other students in grades seven and eight, but he was very familiar with Zhang Qiurui's name.
It was not only because he participated in the voting and decision-making because of the special admission without examination, but also because he was surprised to learn Xiaoxiang Qingkong's age later, and the feat of scoring more than 490 points in the cultural subjects of the college entrance examination, which shocked all of them, the teachers.
"Hello, teacher. I am Zhang Qiurui." Zhang Qiurui knew that her application materials must have been reviewed by her head teacher of the directing department, and she also knew her identity as Xiaoxiang Qingkong. Zhang Qiurui didn't want her identity to become an extra burden or the focus of conversation, so she took the initiative to change Situ Zhaodun's words.
"Is the directing department accepting such a young student this year? She doesn't even look like an adult, does she?"
"Look at the one in the photography department? He's probably over the age limit too?"
"I heard that our school has a special admission this year. Who is the one who got in through special connections?"
"Is that true? So, it must be these two people."
At this time, the students who were queuing up to register saw Zhang Qiurui and Zhang Yimou and started talking about it, almost saying that they had taken the back door.
These students fought hard to get into the Yenching Film Academy. When they saw others easily get into the university of their choice, they couldn't help but feel a little unfair and suspicious.
"What are you talking about? All the students in grades seven and eight of our school have passed a rigorous selection and assessment process. Regardless of age or background, only talent, potential, and academic performance are considered.
I don't want to hear such words again, and I won't do it again." Situ Zhaodun's voice sounded at the right time, interrupting the whispering students.
His eyes swept through the group of students with a sense of majesty and seriousness that could not be ignored.
The students who were swept by Situ Zhaodun's gaze suddenly fell silent, lowered their heads, and dared not look him in the eye.
They are well aware that as a senior professor and director of admissions at Yenching Film Academy, Situ Zhaodun's words and deeds hold great importance in the school. His words not only represent the school's position, but also provide direct guidance on student behavior.
“Due to the hasty enrollment, there was no time to organize, compile and publish teaching books and materials, so in the early stages of our department’s courses, we basically watched various movies in the school cafeteria.
The teacher will then explain to you the use of various lenses, color matching, plot construction and character creation techniques from the movie.
This is the class schedule for this semester, this month's living allowance, and a set of daily necessities.
Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival. The school will provide you with extra meals in the cafeteria and hold a simple welcome party.
"Student Zhang Qiurui, your dormitory is in Room 202. If you have no questions, you can go there and pack your things." After Situ Zhaodun registered Zhang Qiurui's information, he handed her a heavy package containing bedding, a thermos, a washbasin, a toothbrush, a cup, and some daily necessities.
Their living allowance is exchanged for various meal tickets.
"Thank you, teacher." Before leaving, Zhang Qiurui and Zhang Yimou headed in the same direction.
Zhang Yimou saw that Zhang Qiurui, a little girl, was struggling to carry a lot of bags, so he quickly stepped forward and said, "Classmate, do you want me to lend a hand?"
"If it's not too much trouble, please help me carry the bag! Hello, my name is Zhang Qiurui, from Xiaoxiang Province, and I'm a director." Zhang Qiurui didn't bother to be polite with Zhang Yimou.
He handed the cloth bag in his hand to Zhang Yimou and introduced himself in a friendly manner.
Zhang Yimou was given the title of national teacher in later generations. Now seeing the young Zhang Yimou, Zhang Qiurui couldn't help but feel some emotion and admiration in his heart.
Although Zhang Yimou is still young, the determination and talent revealed between his brows already show the prototype of a master who will become a master in the future.
Zhang Yimou took the bag and replied with a smile, "Hello, Zhang Qiurui, my name is Zhang Yimou, I'm from Chang'an, and I'm from the photography department. We both have the surname Zhang, so maybe we were all from the same family five hundred years ago?
Nice to meet you. We will be classmates from now on. It is only natural for us to help each other."
The two of them walked and talked, and soon arrived at the boys' and girls' dormitories.
The male and female dormitories are two opposite buildings, both with five floors.
