Under Hu Xiaodi’s hard work and hard work, she unexpectedly learned from Wu Ke that the students not only had a conflict with Director Yang Haipeng, but also had a conflict with the school secretary, Teacher Qiao.
Seeing that the premiere date is getting closer, but the misunderstandings and contradictions between the two sides are getting deeper and deeper. Can the “old” story of “News Boy” really move the new generation of young people in the 21st century? Is the director’s request too much? Is there eccentricity and making things difficult between teachers and students? … Various factors are interfering with the emotions of the students. Will this premiere go smoothly? Everything fell into the unknown.
With the in-depth interview of Hu Xiaodi, she became more and more reluctant to see all kinds of accidents that broke out in the crew. She saw the director’s expectations, she saw Teacher Qiao’s embarrassment, and she saw the efforts and cuteness of the students… So what will be the result?
