A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 290: University Registration

Chen Jinnian was extremely confused. It was not surprising that military training became a hot topic. What was strange was the timing. Why was it last month? It should have been last year or next month. Is it popular to bring up the past now?

"I'm really impressed. Have you forgotten the military parade in the square last September?" Ji Yangyang shook his head and looked at him as if he were a fool.

"Ah." He still didn't understand.

Wang Yidi saw that he really didn't understand, so he simply explained, "Last year, because the training base was occupied, some universities had no training space available, so they postponed the military training for the 15 freshmen until the end of the school year. Communication University of China only organized military training in early July of this year."

"However, there were many issues at the time. First, the weather was so hot that many people suffered from heatstroke. Second, the aging facilities at the accommodation were not being repaired. There was also the issue of insufficient food in the cafeteria and small supermarkets raising prices and inflating prices. It quickly became the fourth most searched topic."

At the beginning of July, he was the temporary director and was busy "fighting" on the crew. He was exhausted every day and naturally had no time to pay attention to the direction of public opinion on the Internet.

"So that's why." Chen Jinnian nodded, but then asked, "Who was so clever to come up with the idea of ​​organizing military training in July? They're only training based on high temperature warnings. Aren't they worried about widespread heat stroke? Even if the troops organize concentrated training, they'll still have to hold it in September."

Chen Jinnian and Wu Jing stayed for two months and learned a lot about the army. In fact, many military training projects are not done in the army. The most obvious one is marching, which is not a daily training subject and is only conducted in concentrated training when there is a specific need.

"Hey, who knows? You should think about how to get through the military training." Ji Yangyang replied.

But from his calm tone, Chen Jinnian heard a hint of gloating.

"Just drive your car properly. You're talking as if you don't need military training."

……

Time passed extremely quickly after he returned to Beijing. Shortly after attending the entrance ceremony for the new freshman class at Chunfeng Middle School, it was time for him and Wang Yidi to report.

The campus of Communication University of China is not small, but because the undergraduate and graduate departments are squeezed together, it is a bit cramped. Therefore, there is a student dormitory across the street from the south gate and west gate of the school. The dormitory area and the campus are connected by an overpass, which is quite convenient.

There are many female students in Communication University of China, and a lot of them, so the apartment buildings on campus and the Zhonglan Apartment opposite the west gate are female dormitories, while the male students all live in the Bangzijing Apartment opposite the south gate.

Anyway, Chen Jinnian was a little disillusioned when he arrived. He always felt that when the school was planned, they thought that since it was for boys to live there anyway, it didn't matter. They designed it according to the idea of ​​"as long as it can be lived in", which fully reflected the current situation of land scarcity in the capital area.

He didn't mean to complain, it was indeed crowded.

So much so that after he and his parents came in pushing their luggage, there was no place for them to even stand.

It was a four-person room with bunk beds and a metal wardrobe and desk opposite. His three roommates had arrived early and were making their beds. When they saw him come in, they stopped what they were doing.

"Are you all from the acting department? I'm Chen Jinnian, from Beijing."

"Oh my god, you live in the same dormitory with us. Your name is Li Haochen, and you're from Hunan." Li Haochen jumped down from the upper bunk and said in surprise.

"I'm Jiang Zhongce, from Jiangxi. We met during the third test." Jiang Zhongce had a dark complexion, but his smile was very honest.

"Zhou You, from Shanghai." Zhou You is a bit shy. After saying hello, he continued to pack his things.

After a brief chat with several of Chen Jinnian's roommates, they placed their suitcases on the lower bunk near the door. Needless to say, the remaining bed was definitely his.

"Mom and Dad, you guys go check on Yidi first. She's in the Zhonglan dormitory across from the west gate. I can just clean up here myself."

After looking around the dormitory environment, Su Ying was actually a little dissatisfied. It was crowded just to think about four boys living in a small bedroom. Fortunately, there was air conditioning, so she could still sleep at night.

"Okay, your dad and I will go first. Remember to come find us when you are done packing."

After Su Ying called Chen Ming out, she planned to help the child find a new place to live. Although Communication University of China is also in Chaoyang District, it is outside the East Fifth Ring Road and is ten kilometers away from Shuxiang Yayuan.

"Old Chen, you should rent a house nearby for your child. It's too crowded here. Besides, four or five dormitories share one bathroom, which makes it inconvenient to take a shower."

"Well, but does the school allow students to live outside? Otherwise, ask first." Chen Ming did not agree directly.

"It's up to you. Anyway, everything has been arranged for you." Su Ying left this sentence and hurried to the girls' dormitory.

Although Wang Qing was not very satisfied with Wang Yidi's dormitory, after listening to Su Ying's description of Chen Jinnian's dormitory, she suddenly felt that it was much more pleasing to the eye. It had a small balcony, a private bathroom and hot water, which was already considered to be star standard.

A star is indeed a star.

But Chen Jinnian didn't think it was too bad. Apart from being a little crowded, everything else was fine.

After he had simply packed up, he went to the neighboring dormitories to wander around and get to know his classmates. In addition to those majoring in acting, there were also students majoring in photography and film and television photography and production who lived here. It seemed that the school was divided into departments, and the entire School of Drama, Film and Television was located on the same floor.

After completing the registration, he and Wang Yidi officially became students of Communication University of China. Every day, they strolled around the school, participated in the freshman training courses, and met with the counselors and the dean.

No one knew him before, but with the release of the movie, especially after the movie broke 9 million on September 30, more people suddenly knew him. At the same time, someone posted a photo of him and Wang Yidi walking hand in hand on the Internet.

At first, everyone thought that Chen Jinnian was promoting the CP, because people in the circle already assumed that he was a marketing master. Through the emoticon package incident he planned, he made the movie a success and indirectly boosted the box office by 100 million yuan.

The daily box office has now dropped to several million, and everyone thinks that Chen Jinnian is using the same old tricks to hype up the movie before it is taken off the screen.

But later we found out that there were not many, and there were quite a few photos left. And as the screenshots of the circle of friends before the college entrance examination were turned out, everyone realized that the two were serious about it.

The rules of the entertainment industry are that you can hype up couples, but you can’t actually fall in love.

Soon, the accounts of Chen Jinnian and Wang Yidi began to be unfollowed, and the commercial endorsements that had been sent to them before were all withdrawn. They had no intention of cooperating with the two of them. When the wall fell, everyone pushed it down. Now that the two of them showed signs of "collapse", it was natural that they should not have anything to do with them.

In a very short period of time, the reputation of both of them turned around. When the box office was booming, countless self-media were praising him as a genius director and praised Wang Yidi's acting skills for his promising future.

Now that the daily box office has dropped and the growth has been weak, people began to question whether Chen Jinnian hired someone to shoot the film on his behalf and ridiculed Wang Yidi for bringing money into the crew.

"Okay, what's so good about this?" Chen Jinnian snatched the phone from Wang Yidi's hand.

"It's so infuriating. They don't know anything and all of this is made up. And those withdrawn commercial endorsements are so infuriating." Wang Yidi was almost furious.

"They're always flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. If you take them seriously, you'll lose. As for those endorsements, I didn't want to sign them anyway. They're all tainted with negative news. Even if there aren't any for now, you never know when they'll turn so it's good that they're gone."
