Chapter 57 Chapter 57
On the way back in the car, He Xianyu remained silent.
Although Xiao Qinghe praised him for his good acting as a newcomer, He Xianyu was still not satisfied with his performance. He overacted in some places and failed to interpret some details. Compared with Xiao Qinghe's ease, his performance was more superficial.
It was not until she was about to be eliminated that He Xianyu realized that she really wanted to play the role of "Little Ghost".
He really likes "little devil".
If this role was played by someone else, he thought, he would feel jealous.
When the movie is released, he may not go to the cinema to watch it.
For three consecutive days, He Xianyu did not receive any follow-up news. He knew very well that he was eliminated.
He put the matter behind him and concentrated on preparing for the college entrance examination. Unexpectedly, one day, after the evening self-study session, Ji Zhen called him to the car and asked him to sign the performance contract of "Return to the Tomb".
He Xianyu was surprised and happy. He thought he had no hope at all.
"Actually, this role was decided for Huang Siqi half a year ago. But he got into that incident, so the producer had to look for a suitable actor again. Jing Chen was originally considered, but Jing Chen took on "Long Live My Deskmate" and was not available." Ji Zhen continued to talk about the story behind the casting, "I heard that Xu Yining also auditioned, but the director felt that he didn't have enough youthfulness."
He Xianyu flipped through the contract and heard Ji Zhen say, "The director likes the character biography you wrote very much, the screenwriter is very satisfied with your image, and the producer thinks you are very popular. The main creative team held a meeting and decided on you."
The film was about to start shooting, and it would be too late if the film company didn't decide on the actors. They had already searched for actors in the mainland who were between 17 and 21 years old and had some fame. In the end, they either didn't have time or were not suitable. Although they thought about going to the film academy to choose an amateur student, this was a commercial blockbuster with a 300 million investment, and the pressure to make a profit was huge, so they didn't dare to take the risk. Moreover, the screenwriter was very satisfied, and the producer liked it too. Combining all the above, they decided to let He Xianyu play the role.
He Xianyu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "I feel like they chose me reluctantly."
"How can you say it's forced? It's the right time, right place, and right people." Ji Zhen encouraged him, "We are newcomers, be humble and work hard. Only by making the role deeply rooted in people's hearts can we prove our acting skills and get more acting opportunities."
He Xianyu went through the contract carefully. The pay was not high and his ranking was fourth.
As more and more "role-snatching" operations were brought to the table and even went to court, the authorities had to take action. The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television issued a document to avoid actors fighting for roles, which was stipulated in the employment contract. The important business terms in the actor's contract are first the working hours, second the remuneration, and third the signature.
Ji Zhen thought he was unhappy and quickly comforted him: "Xiao Gui is the third male lead in "Return to the Tomb". Zhao Jie and I have fought for it, but the actor who plays Tan Qiming is a veteran actor, and you are a newcomer, so you can't surpass his ranking."
He Xianyu waved his hands, indicating that it was okay. He was a newcomer, without even a representative work, so what could he use to compete for a role?
After reading the contract, He Xianyu couldn't wait to sign his name.
From now on, the "little devil" belongs to him.
Ji Zhen carefully put away the contract and brought He Xianyu a piece of gossip: "Wasn't Jiang Bai's previous street dance variety show stuck? I heard that he has officially signed the contract."
"Really? That's great!" He Xianyu was sincerely happy for Jiang Bai.
Li Cheng probably gave up on Bai Yueguang and no longer thought of using Jiang Bai as a substitute, so naturally he would not embarrass Jiang Bai anymore.
…
The weather was getting hotter and hotter. There was a scorching breath floating in the air, the summer wind blew through the swaying shadows of the trees, and the cicadas chirped endlessly.
Perhaps because it was the last time the cafeteria provided dinner for students, the food prepared was very rich.
Steamed fish symbolizes "carp leaping over the dragon gate."
Braised chicken wings symbolize "flying high".
Beef mixed with coriander means "bullish".
Assorted fried chicken means "a bright future".
Eating okra in cold salad means "winning the championship in one fell swoop".
Shrimp paste and lotus root together symbolize "good things come one after another".
Dingsheng cake means "definite success in the college entrance examination."
After dinner, the students went to the playground to take a walk to digest their food.
The sound of balls bouncing in the basketball court next door and the occasional chirping of insects from the bushes formed the unique sound of a summer night on campus.
Lin Jiesen ran to the podium and began to shout: "Classmate 302 Zhong Shengwan, are you willing to be my good friend for life?"
Zhong Shengwan's eyes suddenly turned red, "I do!"
Lin Jiesen took the lead, and students continued to run up and shout.
"Student Yang Shuyu from 403, you are what you want to be. You will not be far from your goal if you want to be. Please always believe in yourself! It's so cool when you work hard for your dreams!"
"Student 402 Zhang Wanyue, you are actually quite cute."
"Classmate 301 He Xianyu, you are an exceptionally good class monitor. I wish you a bright future and that you will still be young when you return!"
"Classmate 301 Gu Zeye, although you said that you are only familiar with He Xianyu, we are actually familiar with each other, right?"
"Classmate 301 Jiang Bai, even though you and I haven't said a word, I want to tell you that you look so handsome on stage! I hope you will never give up on the stage!"
"Classmate 301 Jingchen, my friend likes you very much. I know there are a lot of girls chasing you, so let her be the first one, okay?"
"All students in Qinghe class, please remember to be with us when you become rich and powerful!"
"There will be no more senior year, I will always remember you!"
"The king of heaven and the tiger of earth all got 985's exams! The pagoda suppresses the river monster and all got 211's exams!"
"We must win the college entrance examination! Long live youth!"
"Classmates, will we ever see each other again?"
"must!"
In this summer with the cicadas chirping non-stop, these young people who are working hard towards their dreams have left behind unforgettable memories of their youth.
【7 days countdown to the college entrance examination】
The last day of May is also the last filming day of "Countdown to College Entrance Examination".
After today, students from all over the world will return to their hometowns to prepare for the national college entrance examination on June 7th.
After lunch, the students returned to their dormitories and packed their luggage.
He Xianyu recalled the scene of the first day of recording the variety show, and couldn't help but sigh: As time goes by, all the dust is gone like smoke; as time flies, all the glamour will eventually be washed away.
Gu Zeye was unhappy. He was extremely reluctant when he first came here. However, he was also extremely reluctant to leave when they were about to separate. "We can't live in 301 anymore."
Neither Jiang Bai nor Jing Chen responded, because the "we" that Gu Zeye mentioned did not include them.
He Xianyu hid her sadness: "301 will not fall apart. 301 will never separate."
He Xianyu wiped his desk for the last time, swept the floor for the last time, and looked at the place where he had lived for nearly a hundred days for the last time. He said silently in his heart: Goodbye, Dormitory 301.
The students dragged their suitcases to the classroom.
On the way from the dormitory to the classroom, there were thirty roll-up banners displaying fans' college entrance examination wishes for them.
He Xianyu found his own roll-up banner, which was covered with colorful sticky notes.
He Xianyu only scored 679 in the third examination and was criticized on the Internet, so her fans wrote many words of encouragement.
——I hope that you who work hard will be admitted to the university this summer!
——Those seemingly uneventful days will one day let you see the meaning of persistence. Good luck in the college entrance examination!
——I sincerely wish that you will be able to write brilliantly, have good luck, and achieve your ambitions.
——Xianyu, the road you walk day and night will eventually be covered with flowers.
——Xiaoyu, you are the best!
——The mountains are high for birds to fly, the seas are wide for fish to leap. Good luck on the college entrance exam, little fish!
He Xianyu left a line of words: Thank you fish fans, I will work hard.
When he arrived at the classroom, He Xianyu wrote a leave note on the blackboard on behalf of all the students.
To all the teachers of Qinghe Class:
All students in Qinghe Class are taking leave for graduation. The leave is permanent. Thank you for your careful teaching in the past 100 days. Your kindness is unforgettable. I will no longer be able to accompany you in the future. I hope you take care of your health and all the best.
Hope you approve!
All subject teachers and class teachers signed on it.
"Now, let's start the last class meeting." Xiao Qinghe stood in front of the podium and spoke on behalf of all the teachers. "Dear students, I am sorry that I can only accompany you here. It is a great honor to have come this far. The road ahead may be bumpy or long. I hope you can all be as open-minded, fearless, confident and happy as you are now! Finally, the teacher wants to say that when you fly with the wild geese, you can see the vast sky. The road of life is long, and persistence is important!"
Director Guo's eyes were red. After a year of preparation and nearly a hundred days of intense recording, he was already exhausted both physically and mentally.
Director Guo had been looking forward to seeing these students off, but when the moment came, he felt empty inside. "My children, the real farewell is not about the long pavilion and ancient road, nor about the wine I urge you to drink. It is about an ordinary afternoon like today, with the sun shining brightly, and me staying here, watching you run forward with all your might."
Some students began to cry.
Director Guo's voice was a little choked up: "Although I often call you little bastards and have been very strict with you. But you have given me an unforgettable 100 days. My youth has long passed, but our youth will never pass. I can't accompany you in the rest of your life. I hope you will continue to work hard and don't let your youth go to waste."
The students came to the podium one by one according to their seats, said goodbye to their classmates, and then left the classroom dragging their suitcases.
The suppressed sobs in the class continued. Although the college entrance examination preparations were tough and the variety show shoots were exhausting, they fought side by side and endured together these days, and they have forged a deep friendship.
Zhang Wanyue slowly walked onto the stage. She bowed to her classmates first, then said, "Thank you all for always tolerating my bad temper. Here, I want to say sorry and thank you to my three roommates. I have always lived too self-centeredly. Thank you for always tolerating me and teaching me how to get along with others. Xingxiao, Yuyao, Cenyu, if I treat you to hot pot after the college entrance examination, will you come?"
Xu Xingxiao, Huang Yuyao, and Cen Yu shouted from below: “Yes!”
Xu Xingxiao took the stage and said, "Although I have been the propaganda committee member for more than three months, it seems that I have made no contribution except drawing a poster for the team-building activity. My major is Chinese painting, so I may have very few opportunities to meet you in the future——"
Xu Xingxiao's voice, which was pretending to be calm, gradually choked. She tried hard not to let her tears fall, sniffed, and forced a smile. "Finally, I want to say to Jingchen, thank you for appearing at my eighteenth birthday. I'm sorry that I didn't dance with you at the last dance. At the very end, can I hug you?"
Jing Chen stood up from his seat, walked to Xu Xingxiao, opened his arms, and gave her a hug. "Xingxiao, come on."
Xu Xingxiao smiled with relief. The time had come, and it was time to wake up from the dream. From now on, she and the future superstar would go their separate ways, but she would not regret having loved such a gentle boy.
Wu Han, a talented e-sports player who received much attention before the show started, was not able to grab the spotlight and was not interested in showing off due to his personality. He said: "I know that I am very dull and not very sociable. After retiring, I lived a muddled life without any goals. Coming here, studying and living with everyone, I seem to have found the direction for the next step. Here, I would like to especially thank Xianyu for always trying to bring me into group activities. I will always remember the sunrise at sea that day."
Qiao Enqi, a boy who looks more delicate than girls, received a lot of attention at the welcome party. He thought he could get off to a perfect start with his wife's personality, but he didn't expect it to be the peak.
Qiao Enqi admitted that he had evil intentions and wanted to stand out and attract traffic, but which student here is really naive?
"Xianyu, do you remember? When I first came to this class, you were the first person to greet me." Qiao Enqi's voice choked.
He Xianyu shouted, "Come on, Xiao Qiao!"
Qiao Enqi looked at He Xianyu with a complicated look. In a class of 30 students, only He Xianyu called him "Xiao Qiao".
He suddenly remembered the words he stuttered to He Xianyu when they first met - "Hello, my name is Qiao Enqi. You can call me Xiao Qiao."
He said this to many people, but only He Xianyu remembered it.
He Xianyu has always been the simplest person in this class.
Qiao Enqi regretted that he should have accepted He Xianyu's invitation to be his deskmate. He should not have refused when He Xianyu invited him to play "Shancai".
At the beginning, He Xianyu used women's clothing to steal his wife's persona, which made Qiao Enqi very indignant.
Then He Xianyu became very successful in the Chinese character dictation competition, and Qiao Enqi began to feel jealous.
Until now, because the gap between them was so huge, Qiao Enqi could only envy He Xianyu.
After Qiao Enqi left, Du Yufei walked up to the podium.
Because Du Yufei has shown malice towards He Xianyu several times in front of the camera, he has become a "disliked" student and has been abused by countless netizens.
He absolutely couldn't let go of this golden opportunity to clear his name, and before he even opened his mouth, tears started falling. "Xianyu, actually, I've always wanted to say sorry to you. I'm really sorry for believing in online rumors and misunderstanding you."
A monitor should have the temperament and demeanor of a monitor. He Xianyu replied generously, "It's okay."
It was Jing Chen's turn to speak on stage. "To be honest, when my agent asked me to take this show, I was reluctant. I have never participated in a reality show, let alone a reality show that lasted for more than three months. Before coming here, I thought it was just an ordinary variety show recording, but I didn't expect that I would meet so many interesting people here and make so many friends. We started in the cold winter and ended in the midsummer. I hope it is this midsummer that ends, not us who witnessed it. I will not forget you, and I will not forget 301. In the future, we will each have our own brilliance. The mountains are high and the roads are long, and we will see each other again."
Gu Zeye is an anti-sentimentalist. His speech was very brief: "I don't understand why everyone is crying, as if we will never see each other again. Don't we have to gather in the playground later?"
Director Guo: “…”
Gu Zeye is indeed a clear figure among students!
Director Guo simply loves him to death.
Jiang Bai followed closely and began his graduation speech: "Graduation is the story of more than 10 million college entrance examination candidates this summer. Different people, different summers, the same thing is farewell. We didn't start with much enthusiasm, but ended with a grand ending together. Even if we go to different paths, I hope we can each be wonderful and shine, and then see you at the next intersection."
As the monitor, He Xianyu was the last to go on stage. He looked at the empty classroom and his eyes suddenly became sore. "We came from all corners of the world, traveled together for a short time, and will go to different places next. 'Hello' was the first word we said when we met, polite but unfamiliar. 'Goodbye' was the last word we said when we parted, sad but still looking forward to meeting again.
The book says that all good things must come to an end, but the book also says that in life, we will meet each other everywhere.
The price of the shirt is always 9 pounds 15 pence. Before we become adults, we are all Li Hua. Even if we no longer write letters for Li Hua, even if we have our own summers in the future, this summer full of sweat, tears and laughter will always be fixed in my memory.
All the students in our Qinghe class will live up to their efforts, leave no regrets, and face challenges head-on. On behalf of all the students, I would like to thank the teachers for their hard work, the hard work of all the staff in front of and behind the scenes, and the audience in front of the TV who have always cared about us and supported us. "
After saying this, he bowed deeply.
He Xianyu took one last look at the classroom. After coming to this world, he had spent most of his time here. This place witnessed his confusion after crossing over, and also witnessed his efforts to go to his ideal university. He laughed and cried here. More than three months of campus life, gathered into fragments, became a bold stroke in his life.
He Xianyu clapped his hands and said reluctantly, "Student He Xianyu, this is the last time I will hit you."
All teachers, students and staff gathered in the playground to take a group photo.
"College Entrance Examination Countdown" is undoubtedly the most successful and popular variety show this spring and summer. It will lift up these young
Students, so that students have a starting point that everyone is paying attention to.
Finally, Xiao Qinghe took the last group photo with 30 students.
Just like in their first photo together, top star Xiao Qinghe still stands in the C position.
He Xianyu, who used to stand in the last row, has made a comeback from being an obscure idol surrounded by negativity and ignored by everyone, relying on her outstanding performance. She successfully came to the first row and stood to the right of Xiao Qinghe, becoming the biggest winner of "Countdown to the College Entrance Examination".
