      My two favorite lines from the movie

      (1) This is a speech given by the heroine during the admission interview:
      My theory is that when parents get divorced, they've given some kind of a handout. when my parents told me that they were splitting, they told me three things:

       One , " it's not your fault ".

       Two ," it's not your fault ".

       And Three, " it's not your fault ". Problem is, i don't buy it. No kid does. I've seen the pictures of when U got married . When U were good-looking, and you smiled...

      Chicken blood slices for prospective college students

      "Everybody wants fame, but fame costs."

      Begins with a whisper of "fame, fame, fame," taking the audience through an hour and a half of New York's PA college entrance exam and four academic years.

      Every student in the film entered the university for the sake of fame, and in the end we don't see any student who has gotten the fame. On the contrary, some people's initial dreams are shattered, some are deceived and carry debts, some completely deviate from their parents'...

      Who can really be famous all over the world, in fact, we are all in a hurry

      I finished watching the fame late last night. I first learned about the movie because of its try episode. After the single looped all night, I downloaded the movie. The art high school life described in the film seems to have little connection with us, but after careful tasting, it is very similar to the four-year college life. Touching the keyboard now, I have a lot of feelings about the first three years of university life in my heart.

      their youth

      They are art students, high-flying and ambitious.
      In fact, I was attracted by the song "try" and the video to watch it.
      They are multi-talented, singing, dancing, musical instruments and acting, and they live a very rich and enjoyable life. But out of a hundred, they have big dreams. To stand out, to shine under the flash, not everyone can achieve.
      In the face of setbacks, deceit, temptation, and at a loss, you will find your own way in the end.
      As a youth film, it is a very...

      only believe!

      There are some things success is not. It's not fame. It's not money or power. Success is waking up in the moring so excited about what you have to do. That you literally fly out the door. It's getting to work with people you love .Success is connecting with the world and making people feel.It's finding a way to bind together people who have nothing in common but a dream.It's falling sleep at night knowing you did the best job you could.Success is joy and freedom and friendship. And success is...

      Even the filming of musicals is still a routine, but the script is horribly weak. It may be that I want to make a documentary but it doesn't even have a focus, a cup. The actors are very talented, there are many handsome guys and beauties, but it is rare for a grizzly to be so talented. The OST is very good. Originally wanted to give it a little higher, but unfortunately the plot is too mentally retarded = =. Asher Book's "Try" is recommended for wall cracking. It is handsome, has a good voice,...

    Rejuvenate old movies

    The 1980 classic musical "Fame" once led a wave, so how can an old film be rejuvenated? For director Kevin Tancharoen, redesigning the dance and lighting was key. He said: "If this movie is to have a huge audience after nearly 30 years, then the original film's dance and song need to be completely replaced. And also some new shooting methods. In the original film , Parker only used a single-camera shooting method, and there was nothing...

    Newcomer

    Before the filming of the film, the crew posted a "audience selection" message on the official website and major websites for the crew to select young actors. In this message, the crew seductively and misleadingly wrote: "Do you want to act with Miley Cyrus and Zac Efron? Come audition!" Faced with such advertisements and calls, many young people signed up for the audition. Director Don Charoen said: "Actually, there are not these two...
