Chapter 3 Wang Xiaoshuai and "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle"
In the winding alleys of Dongcheng, a chase scene is taking place.
People who hunt geese all day long will one day be pecked in the eye by geese.
Unfortunately, Wu Yuan was the unlucky guy who got his eye pecked by the goose.
Wu Yuan, who had been wandering around the east city of the capital for more than half a year, finally attracted the attention of some interested people as his reputation as the "King of Dongcheng Gun Edition" spread.
Yesterday, Wu Yuan, who had just earned 60 yuan and was scolded by Jia Zhangke, today was finally sold by a group of aunts from the street management office when he was selling Feng Xiaogang's last year's New Year movie "See You or Be Part" to an older girl. Caught the transaction scene.
Fortunately, Wu Yuan was smart. The moment the aunts shouted, he stuffed the pirated disc into the girl's arms, got on the bicycle leaning against the wall, and fled the scene quickly.
A few aunts with red sleeve bands on their arms, after being stunned for a moment, immediately chased after them with an attitude of dedication and responsibility to the people.
"Hey, kid! Don't run!"
"I've been with you for a week, and you're the only one who sells pirated CDs in the alley every day, right?"
Wu Yuan was riding a bicycle in front, his feet almost kicking out sparks.
Behind him, four or five aunts from the street management office were not slow at all. They clung to Wu Yuan and pursued him.
The demeanor of the Chaoyang aunts of later generations can already be seen in them now.
Wu Yuan, who was pedaling his bicycle furiously, even distractedly lamented the power of "inheritance". Perhaps the Chaoyang aunts 20 years later will be the descendants of this group of energetic aunts.
"What a great chaser!"
A chase scene comparable to a Hollywood car chase blockbuster was staged passionately in the alleys of East City.
The aunts chased Wu Yuan in hot pursuit, and every time he turned around an alley, there would always be a flurry of excitement and insults.
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing glasses, who was as short and fat as Jia Zhangke, but looked older and darker than him, happened to walk out of his yard and saw this exciting chase.
In his eyes, what he saw was a young man wearing a military green coat and a Type 56 military cap, riding a bicycle and charging towards him against the light.
Although there were several panting aunts hanging behind him, and his movements on the bicycle were very fast and hard, Wang Xiaoshuai did not see the slightest trace of nervousness or anxiety on his face.
On this handsome face, Wang Xiaoshuai only saw a bright smile and a hint of excitement and excitement in the smile.
To be honest, he is very handsome and eye-catching, making it difficult to take your eyes away from his smile.
Wu Yuan flew past Wang Xiaoshuai like lightning.
Looking at the back of the boy riding the bicycle, Wang Xiaoshuai couldn't help but join the chase, hanging behind the aunts, and chasing Wu Yuan together.
However, two legs cannot run as fast as two wheels.
After seven or eight minutes of hard chasing, the aunts finally ran out of energy and could no longer catch up with the 18-year-old.
Wang Xiaoshuai, who was already in his thirties and still a fat man, had no physical strength. When he caught up with the aunts, he couldn't even see the butt of Wu Yuan's car.
"Huh, ha, who is this kid?" Wang Xiaoshuai pressed his knees with both hands and gasped for air as he asked.
Just taking one more look in the crowd, Wang Xiaoshuai made a decision in his heart. This boy riding a bicycle was the leading actor in his new movie!
Several aunts who had not caught anyone and were getting angry looked at each other. Although they didn't know who Wang Xiaoshuai was, they explained to him in a hurry because he was full of "sense of justice" and followed the chase. road:
"This guy sells pirated discs here and has been selling them for more than half a year!"
"We chased him several times but failed to catch up. We asked a few people who bought pirated discs from him, and they said that this guy claimed to be a student at the film school!"
"Bah! It's so shameless. A top student from a film school would come here to sell pirated discs?"
"You want to be a great director and actor. How could you do such a thing? You are deliberately deceiving people and discrediting the film academy!"
"That's right, I think this guy is just a bastard. How can he be a college student!"
"A pug wearing a string of bells is pretending to be a big animal!"
"Either the bastard or the bastard Liuli Qiu, he's not a good person anyway!"
"Hey, did you see what he looked like just now?"
The aunts chatted away, but Wang Xiaoshuai touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
If it were anyone else, I really wouldn't think that film school students would come here to sell pirated discs.
But Wang Xiaoshuai is different. He is an old senior from the film school with a good reputation!
Recently, in order to prepare for his new independent film, he returned to the capital and visited teachers at the school. He also chatted with many juniors who have become famous in the film school in recent years.
He had heard from several juniors that there was a gangster from the 1998 directing department. Ever since he was admitted to the school, Keke had ranked first in his class, but he was not focused on studying at all. In the past six months, he has been Pirated discs have been launched, and small industries have become prosperous. Several old professors in the school hate that iron cannot become steel!
Now the person is right!
"I remember it was called Wu Yuan?!" Wang Xiaoshuai murmured, clapped his hands hard, turned around and slowly left the scene under the surprised eyes of the aunts.
On the other hand, Wu Yuan, who had successfully gotten rid of the street aunties, was completely honest this time.
Not to mention committing crimes in defiance of the law, at least it was impossible for him to go back to Dongcheng to sell pirated discs.
Fortunately, he was going to school today, so he rode his bicycle out of the door, otherwise he would have no way to escape.
Riding his bicycle home, Wu Yuan put all the CDs tied to his body back into the wing room, got on the bike again after leaving the door, and planned to go back to school to hide from the limelight.
The Film Academy is not in Dongcheng, but in Haidian, west of Beijing, which is why he always sells pirated discs in Dongcheng.
Beijing these days is not as congested as in later generations, and the urban planning is not so crowded. Wu Yuan whistled and walked in the wind, and staggered back to the Film Academy.
Under the helpless and teasing eyes of the gatekeeper, Wu Yuan greeted him with a playful smile and turned into the classroom of the directing department.
Unlike the acting department in the building next door, which recruits 20 to 30 students every year, the directing department of the Film Academy prefers to have fewer students than fewer undergraduates. Sometimes, they do not recruit undergraduates for two or three consecutive years.
The 1997 class recruited one graduate student, and the 1999 class did have a directing department advanced training class, recruiting 42 people at once, and also opened a higher vocational class in the editing direction, which also recruited 22 people, but there is still no real undergraduate student, only 5 graduate students.
The students of the 2000 class have just finished the art exam and have not yet enrolled. However, I heard from the teachers in the department that they will not recruit undergraduates this year, and only plan to admit a few graduate students, and the higher vocational class will continue to run.
Therefore, in the huge directing department teaching building, there is only one undergraduate class in four grades combined, which is very easy to find.
Wu Yuan staggered back to the classroom on the second floor. Just as he was about to enter the door to receive further education from his classmates and teachers, a chubby hand suddenly stretched out from somewhere and stopped him.
"Classmate Wu Yuan, right?"
Looking at the short fat man who suddenly appeared in front of him, Wu Yuan touched his head in confusion: "It's me, who are you?"
"It's like this, I'm your senior, Wang Xiaoshuai from the 85th grade, I have a script to shoot, and I specially came to invite you"
"Huh?" Wu Yuan was a little surprised. The person in front of him was Wang Xiaoshuai. He really didn't recognize him at first sight. To be honest, Wu Yuan hadn't seen him since he entered school.
His impression of Wang Xiaoshuai was still in his dreams of a 40-50-year-old.
"Ah, hello, senior brother." Wu Yuan took the initiative to shake Wang Xiaoshuai's hand and said excitedly: "Are you going to ask me to be the cameraman for your new movie?"
"Or the assistant director?"
"Oh, I'm so famous in the department, and I've alarmed you? How can I be so embarrassed!"
Wang Xiaoshuai's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Wu Yuan with a strange look. After a pause, he shook his head and said: "No, I'm here to ask you to act, to play the male lead!"
"My book is called "Seventeen-year-old Bicycle", and I think you are the male lead in my imagination, a young, brilliant, confident and sunny city boy."
