Hearing that Tang Shaoyong attached so much importance to this student named Xiao Ke, Yu Dong became interested. Tang Shaoyong and his children's palace were very talented in literature and art, and they were also famous in the Shanghai area.
Since Tang Shaoyong is so optimistic about him, it means that Xiao Ke is indeed very good.
"This Xiao Ke's ambition is to be a director?"
"Well, this kid does like to think about these things, but if I look at it, it is more reliable for him to learn acting. Xiao Ke is also half a person in the film and television industry. He entered the industry very early. When he was in kindergarten, he was admitted to Shanghai Radio and Television Station
Selected by the art troupe, I was also the host of the "Sunshine Boys" column of the Education Channel a few years ago..."
Tang Shaoyong seems to be deliberately promoting this Xiao Ke. He can't stop talking about Xiao Ke's resume.
Yu Dong couldn't help but be speechless when he heard Xiao Ke's resume. If it was true what Tang Shaoyong said, this Xiao Ke was indeed extremely talented.
However, after Yu Dong thought about it for a long time, he only thought of a musician, Xiao Ke, and his age was not right.
Maybe this Xiao Ke didn't go into the film and television industry in the end, or maybe he did, but in the end he disappeared from everyone.
But no matter what, when he met a seedling with such good conditions, Yu Dong, as the deputy director of Jinyi Drama Department, couldn't help but ask, "Is this Xiao Ke interested in applying to our school?"
The reason why Tang Shaoyong bothered to introduce to Yu Dong how good Xiao Ke was was because he wanted to lead the topic to this point.
Xiao Ke had talked with Tang Shaoyong about college entrance examination before, and Tang Shaoyong suggested to Xiao Ke that he should choose between going to the theater and Jinling Academy of Arts.
There are two reasons why I chose the drama. The first one is that it is close to my home. I don’t need to travel far to go to school in the future and I can take care of my family. The second point is that Xiao Ke is a child star in Shanghai and is somewhat famous. There are also many actors there.
Everyone knows Xiao Ke. If Xiao Ke had been in the past, he would have received special attention.
As for Jin Yi, its development is no worse than that of the drama industry. The most important thing is that Jin Yi is now backed by the Deep Space Company and has a guaranteed job after graduation.
Jinyi's acting major has only been open for a few years, and already some students have become famous. Not to mention Hu Jing, Chen Hao, and Qin Yi, who are famous all over the world, as well as Liu Ye and Zu Feng.
When I was still in school, I was filmed in films and performed well.
In addition, compared to Yanjing, Jinling is closer to Shanghai, and Yu Dong himself is from Shanghai and a fellow villager.
But after Tang Shaoyong made the suggestion, Xiao Ke himself had some thoughts and made some considerations. However, after all, there was still a year and a half before the exam, so Xiao Ke did not rush to make a decision.
"This kid has some ideas, but he's only in his second year of high school and nothing has been decided yet... Is Teacher Yu interested in him?"
Yu Dong laughed and said, "Director Tang, how could I not be interested when you praise that kid so much? Regardless of whether he can come to Jinyi or not, I just want to see if this kid is as good as you said."
"That's ok, how about I send you a copy of his video information? Can you take a look?"
Yu Dong thought for a moment and said, "Don't bother me. I'm going back to Shanghai next week. I'll go to your Children's Palace then."
"You want to come over?" Tang Shaoyong said in surprise, "That's great, I'll arrange it then..."
Yu Dong quickly interrupted: "I'll just go over and take a look. Don't make it too public. If it's convenient, just call the kid over. If it's not convenient, just show me the video."
Tang Shaoyong said with guarantee, "Teacher Yu, don't worry, it's absolutely convenient. When will you come, I'll call his home shortly."
"Next Wednesday, I have something to do in the morning. In the afternoon... I'll be at your Children's Palace before three o'clock in the afternoon."
"Okay, okay, I've written it down, and we'll be waiting for you, Teacher Yu."
"Well, see you there or see you."
…
After Yu Dong hung up the phone, Cheng Yanqiu smiled and said, "Why are you still talking about enrollment?"
"It was Director Tang who said that there was a kid there who was pretty good, and he praised him so much that I became a little interested. It just so happened that I was going back to Hongxing Primary School next Wednesday to meet the kid. If he was really good, I would recruit him.
Jin Yi, come this way."
"Yes, I almost forgot that you have to go to Hongxing Elementary School next week. Unfortunately, it's not convenient for me to go this year. Then you can help me say hello to Teacher Tian and the others."
"It's okay. When I return to Shanghai during the Chinese New Year this year, I will take you to meet them."
In fact, Cheng Yanqiu's due date is still two months away, so it's not impossible to go to Shanghai, but for safety reasons, Yu Dong still doesn't plan to take her back.
Yu Dong has not been back to Hongxing Primary School for a long time. In the first half of the year, Tian Weizhang called and told Yu Dong that the school has changed a lot. This year, a new teaching building was built, and he wanted Yu Dong to go and see it.
.
In recent years, Deep Space Corporation has given some assistance to Red Star Primary School, but not much. At least the school's new building was not supported by Deep Space.
However, since Yu Dong returned to school that time, the reputation of Red Star Primary School has increased. Not only has the media paid more attention to the school, but the local education department has also taken notice.
Hongxing Primary School is different from those rural primary schools. Although the geographical location is slightly inferior now, it still has great potential for development. In addition, Yu Dong came from this primary school, so the education department is naturally willing to invest in the school.
…
On the third day after Yu Dong returned, major domestic newspapers began to report extensively on his participation in the Grinzana Carver Literary Award in Italy.
Nowadays, news about Yu Dong is not only seen in major literary newspapers and periodicals, but also frequently appears in social and entertainment news.
The first reaction of many people after seeing this news was: What kind of award is this Grinzana Carver Literary Award?
Some people also know about the Grinzana Carver Literary Award, basically because Yu Hua just won this award last year.
Under normal circumstances, if a Chinese writer wins a foreign literary award, the reaction of Chinese readers will definitely be: wow, this writer is so amazing.
Therefore, once a writer wins a foreign literary award, regardless of whether the award is valuable or not, he will use it for marketing purposes. After all, the effect is really good.
But when it comes to Yu Dong winning the Grinzana Carver Award, the first reaction of many readers is not that Yu Dong won the Foreign Literature Award, but that Yu Dong actually went to receive the award in person. This award must be valuable.
Yu Dong has actually won a lot of literature-related awards, there are always a few every year, but those awards are not valuable, and Yu Dong is simply too lazy to go.
Many awards are particularly willing to award these awards to writers like Yu Dong, because they can attract traffic. Even if Yu Dong does not participate, when others introduce Yu Dong in the future, adding their awards to the list is a kind of publicity.
…
In the following week, news about the award was overwhelming.
How many?
Yu Dongdan saw this news on the covers of two newspapers on the bookshelf in the lobby of the Children's Palace.
Looking at the newspapers on the bookshelf, Yu Dong, who was wearing sunglasses, smiled and shook his head. He even wondered if the remaining money was spent on operations.
It is now two o'clock in the afternoon, and there is still an hour left before the time agreed between Yu Dong and Tang Shaoyong.
In the morning, he went to Hongxing Primary School. The school's current development is indeed much better than before. There are more and more books in the library, the equipment is getting better and better, there are new teaching buildings and new plastic playgrounds, and the school's students are also better than before.
It used to be much more.
After having a meal with the teachers at school, Yu Dong didn't take much rest and went straight to the XH District Children's Palace.
In addition to sunglasses, he also wore a peaked cap.
Many children and parents who came and went in the Children's Palace were attracted by Yu Dong's dress and couldn't help but take a second look, but no one recognized Yu Dong.
On the one hand, Yu Dong's hat and glasses are difficult to recognize, and on the other hand, not many people in Shanghai have seen Yu Dong's appearance.
Many people in Shanghai know that there is such a famous person as Yu Dong in Shanghai, but they only hear his name but never see him. Even if they see him, they only glance at it once or twice on TV and cannot remember it.
Unlike in Jinling, many people there have seen Yu Dongzhen at close range.
Because it was still early before the appointed time, Yu Dong did not rush to find Tang Shaoyong, but wandered around the Children's Palace.
The activity venue of the XH District Children's Palace is a three-story building. This small building was originally the former residence of the flour king Rong Desheng. The building does not look luxurious, the style is simple and very practical, and it is suitable for use as an office location.
In the hot summer, the Children's Palace is very busy. There are no classes in the summer school, so many students are arranged by their parents to come to the Children's Palace to improve their academic performance or develop their hobbies.
Yu Dong walked around the Children's Palace for a while. Seeing that it was already half past two, he was about to find someone to ask about the location of the director's office. He was suddenly attracted by a tall and thin student.
This student is about sixteen or seventeen years old, roughly the same height as Yu Dong, and has longer hair.
Although there are students from all grades who come to the Children's Palace, those with such a high age are the ones who stand out.
Yu Dong was attracted by the student's tall and thin figure at first sight, and then felt that the other person's appearance was a bit familiar.
The student was carrying a backpack and was walking towards Yu Dong. When he approached, Yu Dong raised his eyebrows. This kid looked very similar to the actor Hu Ge.
Thinking that Hu Ge was from Shanghai, Yu Dong felt that it was no coincidence. The young boy in front of him should be Hu Ge, but Hu Ge now is thinner and has not fully grown.
Hu Ge was wearing a tacky, floral white polo shirt. The lower half of the shirt was stuffed into a pair of dark blue wide-leg jeans, and a cheap black belt was tied around his waist.
After getting closer, Hu Ge also glanced at Yu Dong. After all, Yu Dong's dress stood out more than him.
Just as the two were about to pass each other, Yu Dong suddenly said, "Classmate, do you know how to get to Director Tang Shaoyong's office?"
"Office of the Director?"
Hu Ge was obviously stunned for a moment. He did not answer immediately, but looked at Yu Dong seriously again, with a trace of doubt and disbelief flashing in his eyes, "I, I..."
Yu Dong suddenly laughed, "You don't know?"
Hu Ge said quickly, "I know, I know, I'm about to go there too."
Hearing Hu Ge say that he also wanted to go to the director's office, Yu Dong's eyes narrowed behind his sunglasses, "Classmate, what's your name?"
"My name is Hu...Ke."
Hu Ke...
Yu Dong suddenly understood that the Xiao Ke whom Tang Shaoyong had introduced for a long time turned out to be Hu Ge.
Hu Ke should be Hu Ge's original name, but he changed his name after his debut. This kind of thing is really normal in the entertainment industry, and Hu Ge's name has been changed relatively rarely, at least it sounds similar.
Judging from Hu Ge's expression, he must have recognized himself.
Yu Dong smiled and said, "In that case, you can lead the way, and we will go to see Director Tang together."
"Okay, okay..."
After being nervous and excited at the beginning, Hu Ge quickly adjusted his mood. After all, he is also a child star and is still hosting a TV show. He has seen big scenes.
As he walked, he also introduced to Yu Dong, "Director Tang's office is on the second floor. After you go up, turn right and you will find the fourth office. Director Tang told me that you came at three o'clock, but I didn't expect you to come.
So early."
"I said come before three o'clock."
Yu Dong looked at Hu Ge who was walking in front of him with a smile. Tang Shaoyong was right, Hu Ge now has quite a star look.
It should be because he often hosts programs and participates in performances. Although Hu Ge is only a teenager, his voice is very expressive.
Many boys are still in the stage of changing their voices in their sophomore year of high school, but Hu Ge's speaking voice pressure has become relatively stable.
Not to mention his appearance, he is a standard handsome boy.
Moreover, Hu Ge was very polite. Although he was leading the way, he always turned sideways and kept at least half of his face facing Yu Dong.
"When Director Tang told me that you wanted to see me, I really couldn't believe it."
"I heard Director Tang talk about you, so I'm curious about you. Did you also participate in "Drizzle" some time ago?"
"Yes, I play Chen Wenming."
"Well, the role of a good baby fits your image quite well. However, Chen Wenming had an emotional outburst in the later period, which was a test of the actor's skills. When I was rehearsing at school, the role of Chen Wenming was usually played by Liu Ye.
Have you ever heard of that mountain, that person, that dog?”
Hu Ge nodded: "I'm lucky enough to have seen it."
"Liu Ye is the actor who plays the son. He is also tall and thin."
"He should be taller than me. I felt taller when I was watching the movie."
"You're still young and there's still room for improvement. Why don't you say you're going to jump up at twenty-three?"
Hu Ge grinned. He also felt that he could still grow taller. After all, he was not yet seventeen years old.
While talking, the two walked to the door of the director's office.
The office door was not closed, and Tang Shaoyong looked restless in the office, holding on to the cup on the coffee table and adjusting the position of the chair.
Suddenly seeing Hu Ge coming with a man wearing sunglasses, a trace of surprise flashed across Tang Shaoyong's face, "This..."
Chapter completed!
