Chapter 133 Hua Zhong Will Always Be Your Strongest Backing
"Director Lu, you're really something!"
"Without a word, you managed to lure away my precious professors."
Early in the morning.
Lu Xuan received a call from the old Principal Wang.
His tone was full of resentment!
These six veteran actors had always been the pillars of Hua Zhong.
Now, they had all announced their comeback.
Making things difficult for him, the principal.
Fortunately, the teachers hadn't resigned from their honorary professorships at Hua Zhong.
Meaning they would occasionally return to give lectures.
Lu Xuan chuckled awkwardly, "You can't blame me for this..."
He hadn't expected it either.
That his mentors would be so decisive.
Announcing their comeback as soon as they did!
Although they hadn't explained the reason.
Lu Xuan guessed that it wasn't just that his movie had won their approval.
They were also well aware of his songwriting achievements.
Plus, they'd seen his statements online.
That's why they decided to make a comeback.
It was like betting all their treasure on him.
This made Lu Xuan feel a little pressure.
Principal Wang wasn't really blaming him.
He was just sincerely sharing some heartfelt words.
"These teachers are all national treasures of our Chinese film industry."
"Their choosing you means the older generation has chosen you."
"You should understand what that implies."
"So, I hope you don't disappoint them."
"Remember, you're not fighting alone!"
"Hua Zhong will always be your strongest backing!"
Principal Wang's words warmed Lu Xuan's heart.
He remembered that this principal was the first to agree to his free use of the school for filming.
Instantly, the pressure in Lu Xuan's heart vanished.
Turning into motivation, he said.
"Yes!"
After saying that, Lu Xuan continued.
"Principal, my new movie is still recruiting. Does the school have any ideas?"
He was reciprocating the favor.
Since he'd filmed at his alma mater for free, he naturally had to give back now.
Principal Wang didn't stand on ceremony.
"Yes, you have a batch of junior classmates graduating this year."
"Give them a chance to audition."
"If they pass, let them have a good internship. If none of them pass, send them back, and I'll make them retake the course!"
With Lu Xuan's current fame and prestige.
This was definitely an excellent internship opportunity.
But he couldn't break Lu Xuan's rules, so Principal Wang said that.
Lu Xuan smiled and agreed.
"Alright!"
The next day.
The *Life Events* crew welcomed a group of new faces.
Lu Xuan personally interviewed these junior classmates.
In the end, two people successfully passed.
The others weren't discouraged.
If their skills weren't up to par, they'd just work harder in the future!
With Lu Xuan as their role model.
There was no shortage of motivation!
But when they learned that they had to retake the course, their faces immediately fell.
"Senior Lu! That's not fair!"
Lu Xuan stifled a laugh and shrugged, "Old Wang requested it."
"I suggest you go and protest to Old Wang, maybe it'll work?"
"......"
The adorable junior classmates were speechless.
They had no choice but to leave dejectedly.
After sending them off.
Lu Xuan's crew welcomed another person.
"Teacher Li!"
Lu Xuan came out to greet him personally.
Accompanied by Li Hao, Su Yao, and all the other actors.
They all looked at the old man with respect and admiration.
"Old Li!"
"Teacher Li!"
"Professor Li!"
The crowd called out one after another.
Their voices full of enthusiasm.
Because the old man before them was a legendary role model they would spend their lives learning from!
The old man's name was Li Xuejian.
A national first-class actor, the former chairman of the China Film Association, honorary chairman for life, and vice chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
He had won countless awards and was full of honors!
He was China's only Grand Slam actor!
He had made indelible contributions to promoting the development of national film and television!
In recent years, he had retired behind the scenes due to regrets.
Teaching and educating people!
Hoping to solve the problem of social ethos from the root.
But alas, his heart was willing, but his strength was insufficient.
The torrent of the times cannot be changed by one person's strength, or in one day.
Once, in a television interview.
Li Xuejian was questioned face-to-face by a young idol.
Who said his salary was too high!
And not worth the name.
How could the students of Hua Zhong tolerate this!
Led by Lu Xuan, they fought on Weibo for several months.
It eventually ended without resolution.
Since then, Li Xuejian had lamented the hopelessness of Chinese film and television and focused on retiring as an honorary professor at Hua Zhong Academy.
Many older seniors lamented.
His retirement would be an immeasurable loss to the Chinese film industry!
So, the news of Li Xuejian's comeback for Lu Xuan.
Made many people's hearts tremble!
The sky of Chinese film and television was about to change.
Lu Xuan came to Li Xuejian and.
Respectfully performed a disciple's salute.
"Teacher."
Looking at the old man's weathered face, he couldn't help but sigh.
What level had the social ethos of the Chinese film industry in this world.
Rotten to!
That it forced this old man to retire.
After merging with his predecessor's memories, Lu Xuan's respect for Li Xuejian hadn't changed at all.
Whether it was his predecessor or now.
Li Xuejian was an actor that Lu Xuan admired from the bottom of his heart!
"Little Lu, long time no see."
Li Xuejian looked at Lu Xuan with satisfaction.
His voice was full of texture.
"Your *Serving the Country with Utmost Loyalty* is very good!"
He had been following Lu Xuan's works.
Whether it was film and television or music.
"You flatter me."
Lu Xuan smiled modestly.
Su Yao cautiously said from the side.
"Teacher Li, let's go inside and talk."
Su Yao's respect for this teacher was second to none.
This was a resonance that only true actors could have.
Li Xuejian glanced at Su Yao and recognized her.
"Girl Su."
Among the new generation of actors, only Su Yao could catch his eye.
She was a truly excellent female actor.
Su Yao was flattered.
Li Hao then squeezed out.
And supported Li Xuejian's arm.
"Teacher Li, Teacher Li, do you still remember me?"
As a popular figure in the school back then.
How could Li Xuejian not recognize him.
He jokingly said with a smile: "You brat, you're still so unruly after all these years."
Li Hao immediately smiled like a chrysanthemum.
Lu Xuan: "Let's go, Teacher Li, let's go inside and talk."
"Alright."
The crowd escorted Li Xuejian inside.
Arriving at the lounge, the others left.
Leaving only Lu Xuan and the three of them.
Listening to the teacher's clear enunciation, Lu Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"Teacher Li, your nasopharyngeal carcinoma..."
Li Xuejian smiled: "Thanks to the continuous treatment in recent years, it has improved a lot."
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma can cause slurred speech.
Lines are the most important weapon for an actor.
So, this disease was one of the reasons why Li Xuejian retired in the first place.
"That's great!"
Lu Xuan and Li Hao looked at each other.
Both were genuinely happy for Li Xuejian.
In this way, Li Xuejian had no shortcomings!
Truly reaching his peak state.
Then, Lu Xuan said anxiously.
"Teacher Li, you're here for the audition, right?"
"Then let's go now!"
Li Xuejian teased: "So anxious?"
Lu Xuan explained: "Who wouldn't be anxious to see Teacher Li's acting again!"
Li Hao and Su Yao nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Watching veteran actors act.
Not only could they learn a lot.
It would also be a visual feast to enjoy!
For an actor, it was definitely an opportunity not to be missed.
"Such good kids..."
Li Xuejian looked at the three young people in front of him.
The anticipation in their eyes was as bright as stars!
That was the ultimate pursuit of acting!
If the new generation were all like this.
Why worry about the future of Chinese film and television?!
With a belly full of emotion, Li Xuejian got up.
"Let's go!"
