Let a thousand film students compete
(The New York Times)
Updated: 2005-10-04 09:12

Wen Guiyu thinks back to three years ago, when she and her mother came here from her small hometown in Hebei Province, after a 12-hour train ride. Arriving at their destination on Xi Tu Cheng Road, Ms. Wen recalls seeing masses of people - "10,000 of them." Like her, the crowd was there for one reason: they were all trying to get into Beijing Film Academy, the most prestigious film school in China and the largest film school in Asia.

With over 3,300 students, including about 150 international exchange students from countries as distant as the United States, it offers graduate and undergraduate degrees - and for the lucky few, a portal to one of the world's most vibrant film cultures.

Struggle is part of the package: Ms. Wen, now a graduating senior in performing art, had to ace three auditions before she was accepted. "When my mother saw how difficult the auditions were, she went home and left me there alone," she recalled. "After I passed the third audition, my mother and I cried together."

The actress Zhao Wei, in "So Close," is also a graduate of the Beijing Film Academy.

This year, almost 6,000 aspirants showed up to vie for 30 open spots in the acting school's bachelor of arts program (which, like most other departments, charges annual tuition of 10,000 yuan, or roughly $1,250). After a first round of auditions that stretched over three days, about 2,200 candidates made it to the next step.

What steeled Ms. Wen to face such daunting odds was what she called her "passion for performing," and the school's impressive record in the film world. Alumni include the popular actress and director Xu Jinglei (a teacher at the school, whose credits include "A Letter From an Unknown Woman"), the dreamboat Chen Kun ("Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress"), and the starlet Zhao Wei, known outside of the mainland as the love interest in the Hong Kong director Stephen Chow's "Shaolin Soccer."

Ms. Wen, 20, has been the acting school's No. 1-ranked student for three years. But unlike most of her classmates, she dreams of remaining at the academy as a teacher. "I thought about entering the entertainment industry," she said, but decided against it because the pressure and the competition are too great. "But if you become a teacher," she said, "it won't get in the way of you acting because a lot of professors here are excellent actors, too."
