As she spoke, she went out in a hurry and didn't forget to pout: "It's like urging death, I don't know how to say it in advance, don't you want time to catch a plane?"

"It must be an emergency."

Lin Chaoyang said something and went to have a meal. While he was having a meal, Tao Xiwu rushed into the yard in a blink of an eye.

It's exactly the same as Tao Yumo who just left the house.

"Big uncle! Big uncle!" he shouted excitedly.

"Slowly, the house is so big, it's not that you can't hear it, why are you shouting?" Lin Chaoyang scolded him before asking, "What's the matter?"

"My movie has been finished. I plan to hold a trial at school tomorrow. Can you go and have a look?" Tao Xiwu said excitedly.

"You're still going to school for the trial? Are you afraid of embarrassing?" Lin Chaoyang joked.

"It's embarrassing to be embarrassing. We have just graduated. Isn't it normal for us to have a bit of criticism in the first feature film?"

"I didn't see it, my mentality is pretty good."

"That's it."

"Do you think I praise you?"

The next afternoon, Lin Chaoyang appeared in Yan Ying's screening room. No matter how much he said, his nephew's first movie still needs to support it.

Tao Yucheng also came here today. When Lin Chaoyang saw him, he was chatting and laughing with Yan Ying's school leaders and teachers, and he looked very familiar.

When Lin Chaoyang arrived, he was immediately regarded as a guest of honor by Yan Ying's leader, not only because of his identity as a well-known writer, but also because the "Lin" of Lin's Pictures was his "Lin".

After some greetings, Lin Chaoyang and several leaders took their seats. He whispered to Tao Yucheng, "The situation is a bit big today, are you planning it?"

"I'm going to do it? I know you're coming, but the school leaders want to call all the teachers and students in the school over.

Let the students show their faces in front of you. Maybe they will become celebrities and famous directors in two years. This is the political achievement of the school leaders!”

Tao Yucheng's tone was a bit ridiculous, but it was not an exaggeration.

Not to mention Lin's Pictures, Phoenix TV's influence in China, even with Lin Chaoyang's own status and influence, it is easy to promote one or two stars.

After all, as early as fifteen or sixteen years ago, his adaptation of his works made famous movie stars such as Zhu Shimao, Cong Shan, and Tang Guoqiang.

While the two were talking, the students sitting in the back row were also whispering.

"Look at it, that's Tao Xiwu's father, a professor of the Central Academy of Drama. Next to him is Lin Chaoyang and Tao Xiwu's eldest uncle."

"Brave, if my family has this condition, do you still need to act sadly?"

"Look at your promising prospects. What's wrong with his family's conditions? Different from Yanying? Everyone belongs to Yanying.

After graduation, maybe who will do better than who will do it."

The two boys in the performance department were having a hot discussion, and the female classmates on the side couldn't help but look at Lin Chaoyang.

"If we can act in Lin Chaoyang's movie, we will definitely become famous in one fell swoop."

"You think it's pretty. You still need to act in other people's movies? How many big stars are rushing to act."

"Cong Shan was in a freshman when she was acting in "The Wrangler".

"That happened many years ago."

The female classmate glanced at the classmate and friend beside her and sighed, "Danchen, I would have loved you."

Yan Danchen was a little embarrassed by her female classmates, "Being an actor is not just looking at her face."

From the day she entered school, she has been recognized as the class beauties of Yanying's 96-level performance class, and she is more beautiful than the crowd.

In the teacher's words, her appearance is a gift from God, just like Huang Xiaoming in the class, it is almost inevitable to become famous.

Therefore, Yan Danchen never worried about whether she would perform or become famous after graduation. Naturally, she could not empathize with the classmates who were obviously inferior in terms of "conditions".

Amid the whispers of a group of juniors, Tao Xiwu and several classmates took to the stage as the main creators of the film.

Yanying’s screening center is a standard 800-person screening room. Every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, teachers and students of the school will watch teaching videos here.

Tao Xiwu has been here hundreds of times in four years, but this is the first time he has been on stage.

Looking at the former teachers and classmates on the seat, a sense of accomplishment in his heart couldn't help but feel, and movie posters were placed on both sides of the screen behind him.

In the background of a cold and dark tones is the door of a video hall. The man stood in front of the video hall, and his back looked bleak and desolate.

It reads right below the poster:

"Video Hall"

Director: Tao Xiwu Screenwriter: Xu Haofeng, Lu Weijian Photography: The names of Lu Weijian and several creators appeared on the posters, and the proportions seemed a bit inconsistent, but this was shown at the alma mater after all, and Tao Xiwu hoped that every student could show his face.

The host of the screening was Lin Chaoyang's acquaintance, Su Mu from the 77th Chinese Department of Yan University. He is now a professor in the Department of Yanying Literature.

The visit before the screening was not long, so Tao Xiwu and the others simply introduced the story of the movie, and then the screening began.

The story of "Video Hall" is not complicated. It tells the story of laid-off worker Chen Weiguo borrowed money from his relatives to open a video room in order to make a living.

I thought I could live a good life, but I didn't expect that I encountered trouble one after another.

The blackmail rogue wandering on the street ran to the video hall to cause trouble. An old friend broke up with him in order not to let his children watch illegal videos. His peers were jealous of his business and reported it secretly. His father was seriously ill and his wife divorced.

Chen Weiguo in the movie seems to have become the most unlucky person in the world, but in fact his experience is a dilemma that every middle-aged person in this era may encounter.

There is a big panoramic view on the screen, a bonfire is lit under the old city wall in the night, and the characters' faces are blurred.

Chen Weiguo stood in the cold wind of the 1990s, and the fire in front of him was very hot, but across the screen, the warmth was like a gossip, fleeting, just like the fate of the person in the film at this moment.

A brilliant color suddenly exploded in the distance. It was the new young people in the 1990s celebrating the coming of New Year's Day.

And Chen Weiguo, a lonely middle-aged man, seemed to have been left in 1996 forever.

"The ending of these shots is of high quality, meaningful, profound and timeless!" Tao Yucheng said with relief.

The films made by my son are naturally good at watching them.

But to be honest, Tao Xiwu and the young people's first feature film in their lives has been tinkering for nearly a year, and the results are indeed good.

The lens design of "Video Hall" is very similar to the style of the sixth generation director.

Most of their generation of directors were born in the 1960s and 1970s and were not affected by humanitarian torrents. The growth period was a period of major reform and opening up in Chinese society.

The old system and concepts were rapidly dissolving and disintegrating, and various new ideas and concepts emerged one after another. With such an environment, this generation of directors was destined to stand at the intersection of tradition and modernity throughout their lives.

Therefore, the sixth generation of directors mostly focus on the current urban and rural marginal characters, thieves, prostitutes,

Unemployed young people.

Because they cannot integrate into the foreign art they admire, and look down on the native Chinese art,

You can only dig into the margins of society to demonstrate your own "sooth" and "existence".

But unlike the sixth generation director, the story of "Video Hall" is not hysterical, but is solid.

It did not try to exaggerate this society into a cesspool, and did not shape the protagonist Chen Weiguo's personal experience into a target of this society.

Instead, it tells the dilemma of a middle-aged man from a neutral and gentle perspective. It is related to the current era background, but not positively related.

Maybe thirty years ago and thirty years later, the middle-aged man named Chen Weiguo would face such a dilemma.

The last shot of the movie ended, with the ending subtitles scrolling, and there were bursts of applause in the screening hall.

"Chaoyang, what do you think?" Tao Yucheng and Lin Chaoyang asked whispered.

"Not bad, at least it's worth investing."

Tao Yucheng smiled when he heard this. He felt that Lin Chaoyang was conservative. It was not impossible to go shopping in the film festival.

After the applause ended, Tao Xiwu and the young men were invited to the stage for an interview again.

"The script originally had only more than thirty scenes, and we prepared it according to the short film."

"Thanks to the help of teachers and seniors, we have this opportunity to make a feature film."

"The script was revised for four drafts and finally I was satisfied."

It was the audience's turn to communicate, and the Yanying students in the audience were very active, especially students in the three majors of director, opera and photography.

Everyone was still in the ivory tower, waving and giving advice to the country was no problem. When they stood up, they talked endlessly.

However, overall, "Video Hall" has achieved good reputation and evaluation during the Yanying screening, and at least it has won praise from most students in the Yanying professional hall.

This evaluation is unlikely to be a favor. The current leaders and professors may take care of Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yucheng present, but those freshmen do not have this concern.

Therefore, Tao Xiwu seemed particularly excited after the screening. He is still in a dream. He never thought that the first feature film in his life would have received so many praises.

Today, he was in a big limelight in front of his teachers and friends, and he really felt like he was returning home in glory.

"Big uncle!Big uncle!"

Tao Xiwu Huan jumped to Lin Chaoyang, like a child asking for praise, and asked, "What do you think?"

"good."

His brief evaluation disappointed Tao Xiwu slightly, but Tao Xiwu soon became happy again. "Good" was already a good evaluation, and his expectations were not that high.

"Thanks to you for helping guide the script--"

Lin Chaoyang waved his hand, "It has nothing to do with me, it's all your father's credit."
