Chapter 106 Today's me is tomorrow's you.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock in dormitory 502 of Beijing Film Academy rang. Tian Xi turned over, buried her head in the pillow, and muttered, "Just five more minutes, just five more minutes—" Last night, she and three others were creating a group chat, ranking seniority, and researching breast enhancement methods for half a day, which lasted until midnight. She didn't want to get up at all at this time.
Zhou Ye got up, rubbed his eyes, and sat up. He glanced at Tian Xiwei, who was still lazing in bed, and called out with a smile, "Sister Wei, get up! It's seven o'clock. We need to get to the basketball court by eight. If you don't get up now, you'll be late!"
Lü Xiaomeng also sat up, stretching as she said, "Yeah, Sister Wei, we still need to wash up and have breakfast. Time is tight, so don't stay in bed."
Liu Haochun had already walked to the wardrobe and taken out the clothes he was going to wear today: "Get up quickly, or you'll be late."
Tian Xiwei reluctantly threw off the covers, sat up, and rubbed her messy hair, looking pained. "Oh my god, why so early?" She glanced at her phone—7:05—and panicked instantly. "Oh no, I overslept by more than ten minutes!"
She scrambled off the bed and rushed into the bathroom, grabbing her toothbrush, face wash, and skincare products in a flurry. Zhou Ye, watching her panicked state, couldn't help but laugh: "Sister Wei, slow down, don't use the face wash as my toothpaste."
"It's too late! It's too late!" Tian Xi shouted indistinctly, a toothbrush in her mouth. "Quickly, help me find my clothes!"
Zhou Ye shook his head helplessly and walked to her wardrobe to help her rummage through her clothes.
Ten minutes later, Tian Xiwei finally finished washing up, casually tied her hair into a high ponytail, changed her clothes, and urged, "Let's go, let's go, we'll be late if we don't leave now!"
The four of them hurriedly left the dormitory. Tian Xiwei didn't forget to tell the other three, "When we get to the basketball court, let's quickly find seats. I need to find where Brother Feng is. He said he would come yesterday, so he must be here."
Soon, the four arrived at the basketball court, where many freshmen were already seated. They found their seats according to the pre-assigned areas. As soon as Tian Xiwei sat down, she started looking around, muttering to herself, "Where's Feng Ge? I can't see him."
Zhou Ye tugged at her arm and said with a smile, "Don't worry, not everyone has arrived yet. Maybe Brother Feng will come later."
"Oh right!" Tian Xi slapped her forehead. "Brother Feng isn't in a hurry. I've been looking for him for nothing." Although she said that, she couldn't help but glance ahead from time to time, hoping to see Lin Feng's figure soon.
Tian Xiwei kept glancing ahead, muttering, "Why hasn't it started yet? I can't wait any longer. Where is Brother Feng?" Liu Haochun gently tugged at her hand and whispered, "It'll be soon, look, the teachers are already on stage."
Tian Xi looked in the direction she was pointing and indeed saw several leaders and teachers walk onto the stage and take their seats. Soon, Director Wang of the Student Affairs Office walked onto the stage with a microphone, smiling and saying, "Distinguished leaders, esteemed teachers, and dear new students of the Class of 2016, good morning! Welcome to the Beijing Film Academy for today's freshman commencement ceremony. I am your host, Director Wang—"
Teacher Wang first introduced the school leaders attending the ceremony, and then played the school's welcome video, "Youth at Beijing Film Academy".
After the short film finished playing, Teacher Wang continued hosting: "Next, let's welcome our school principal to the stage with warm applause!" Warm applause rang out from the audience. The principal walked onto the stage and spoke about the school's history, educational philosophy, and expectations for the new students.
After the principal's speech, the host said, "Next, please welcome freshman representative Guan Xiaotong to the stage to speak!"
Upon hearing the name "Guan Xiaotong," Tian Xiwei's eyes lit up: "It's Guan Xiaotong! The child star who debuted! She's actually one of our freshmen this year!"
Guan Xiaotong shared her feelings as a freshman and her plans for her future university life in a graceful and generous manner, speaking fluently and confidently.
Looking at Guan Xiaotong on stage, Zhou Ye felt a little envious. She was also a performing arts major, and he hoped that he could be like Guan Xiaotong and establish himself in the entertainment industry as soon as possible.
As Guan Xiaotong finished speaking, before the applause from the audience had even subsided, the host's voice rang out again: "Next, let's give a warm round of applause to welcome Lin Feng, an outstanding senior student representative of our school, who is also a famous actor and director, to the stage to speak!"
"Raymond Lam!"
"It's Brother Feng!"
Upon hearing the name, Tian Xiwei was so excited she almost jumped up, shouting, "It's Brother Feng! It's Brother Feng!" Just as she was about to stand up, Liu Haochun quickly reached out and pulled her back, whispering, "Sister Wei, don't get excited, sit down, or the teacher will scold you."
Tian Xiwei then realized what was happening and quickly sat up straight. Zhou Ye and Lü Xiaomeng were also surprised, not expecting Lin Feng to be the senior student representative. The two quickly joined in the applause.
The other students in the audience also erupted in excitement, especially the girls, who applauded enthusiastically. Who didn't know Raymond Lam? At such a young age, he had directed blockbuster movies like "Take My Brother Away" and "Fame and Fortune," and two of his TV dramas were also critically acclaimed. In just two years, his net worth had reached one billion.
Not only is he talented, but he's also handsome, making him the perfect idol in every girl's heart. Everyone took out their phones to take photos and videos in the direction of the stage, and the atmosphere instantly reached its peak.
Lin Feng, wearing a school-issued welcome T-shirt and simple dark jeans, walked slowly onto the stage with a tall and straight figure and a gentle smile on his face.
Tian Xi looked at Lin Feng on the stage, her eyes filled with pride, thinking: Look, this is my Feng-ge, so handsome and amazing! She clapped her hands the loudest, her mouth stretched wide open, unable to close.
Zhou Ye looked at Lin Feng on the stage, his heart pounding faster. This senior seemed even more handsome than yesterday. He must get to know him better in the future and try to get his guidance. Lü Xiaomeng looked at the stage with admiration.
Liu Haochun quietly watched the stage; this was his Brother Feng.
Lin Feng walked to the microphone and nodded slightly. The applause from the audience gradually subsided, and he began to speak: "Distinguished leaders, teachers, and fellow students, good morning. I am Lin Feng."
"First of all, welcome to the Beijing Film Academy. I remember two years ago, I came here just like you, full of love and aspirations for film, feeling both curious and confused."
Lin Feng recalled his campus life with a smile: "Here you'll find the most professional teachers, the richest professional resources, and a group of like-minded friends. Life at Beijing Film Academy is never just about studying; it's a combination of academics, clubs, and practical experience. If you pay attention, you'll find that life at the film academy is incredibly wonderful."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Here, I would like to offer a few words of advice to my fellow students: First, cherish the resources, learn more from your teachers, and practice more in the library, rehearsal hall, and film studio; second, actively participate in the creative process, don't be afraid of failure, and grow through practice; third, always maintain your love and original passion for film."
At this point, Lin Feng's tone became solemn: "The spirit of Beijing Film Academy is respect for teachers and the passing down of knowledge. Here, we not only learn professional skills, but also how to be a good person. I hope that everyone will help each other, be united and friendly, make progress and grow together in our studies and lives, and carry on the spirit of Beijing Film Academy."
Lin Feng continued, "My success today is inseparable from the school's nurturing, the teachers' guidance, and the practical experience I accumulated during my time at the school. From my first directorial effort to the film's release, every step has been supported by the Beijing Film Academy. I am the future you, and you will definitely do even better. The Beijing Film Academy has never lacked talent; what it lacks is perseverance and hard work. With dedication, you will find your place in the future film industry!"
"good!"
"Well said!"
"Keep it up, Feng!"
Thunderous applause erupted from the audience, and some people couldn't help but shout out. Everyone was inspired by Lin Feng's words and filled with fighting spirit.
Tian Xiwei's hands were numb from clapping, and tears were almost in her eyes. She felt proud and excited; her Feng-ge was always so amazing. Liu Haochun was also deeply moved, strengthening his resolve to develop a good career in the entertainment industry. Lü Xiaomeng and Zhou Ye's eyes were also filled with light, full of anticipation for their future university life and acting career.
Lin Feng bowed deeply to the audience, then stepped off the stage and returned to his seat as a student representative.
Soon, all the procedures for the opening ceremony were completed, and the host announced the end of the ceremony, allowing everyone to leave in an orderly manner. Tian Xiwei immediately pulled Zhou Ye, Lü Xiaomeng, and Liu Haochun, squeezing towards the student representative area at the front, shouting, "Quick, let's go find Brother Feng!"
The four of them finally managed to squeeze to Lin Feng's side. Tian Xiwei immediately rushed over, excitedly shouting, "Wow, Brother Feng, you really came! You were so cool when you were speaking up there! I was so excited!"
Lin Feng looked at her excited expression and said, "Haha, I told you I'd come, didn't I? I didn't disappoint you, did I?"
"No, no!" Tian Xi shook her head vigorously. "Brother Feng, what you just said was so cool! I'll remember it all. I'll definitely work hard in the future and be as amazing as you!"
Liu Haochun also stepped forward: "Brother Feng, your speech was brilliant! We were all deeply moved. Thank you for your words of encouragement; we will definitely remember them."
Zhou Ye chimed in, "Yes, Brother Feng, you are our role model. We will learn from you in the future."
Lü Xiaomeng also said, "Brother Feng, you spoke very well."
Lin Feng smiled and nodded: "You're all great. As long as you keep working hard, you'll definitely be fine."
At this moment, many freshmen gathered around, all wanting to take photos with Raymond Lam. They shouted all at once, "Brother Lam, can we take a picture together?" "Senior, I really love your work!"
Lin Feng smiled and agreed, "Okay, everyone line up, one at a time."
After patiently taking photos, a few minutes later, seeing the number of people gradually decreasing, Lin Feng quickly said to Tian Xiwei and the others, "Alright, you guys hurry back to class, you still have a class meeting, don't be late."
Tian Xiwei then remembered the class meeting and stuck out her tongue: "Oh dear, I almost forgot! Well, Feng-ge, we'll be going now, we'll chat with you again tonight!"
