As soon as I opened my phone in the morning, I was swiped by #跟吴彦祖一起上课是什么体验 on the whole network! What's going on here?
A closer look revealed a public lecture at the Parsons School of Design, The New School in New York, "A Conversation with Actor + Director Daniel Wu: What I Learned in Design School."

The school invited the "male god" Wu Yanzu to share his experience. The lecture is also part of the Parsons Festival series.
(Did Xiaobian miss a hundred million?) ）
In this public lecture, Wu Yanzu shares his journey from architecture to acting, and how the design concepts he learned in school have played a role in the field of film and television, including character development, production and set design.

Yes, you think Wu Yanzu is just an actor, but in fact he was also an architect!
In 1993, Yanzu Wu studied architecture at the University of Oregon (UO) and received a minor in architecture scholarship. In 1994, he won the second place in the California Martial Art Competitions and ranked second on the West Coast of the United States.
In 2018, Wu Yanzu participated in the design of the architectural work "Mulan Fang" of the Prairie Starry Sky Library while recording the reality show "Beautiful House", and was shortlisted for the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Award, known as the "Oscar of architecture"! Only 61 works were nominated worldwide that year.

He also joked that he intended to return to his old business and become an architectural designer.
In this lecture, he also recalled the days when he was a student and his classmates desperately realized their dreams in the architecture studio, and they helped each other, shared and discussed their ideas.
He also said that this "all-night" experience also paved the way for him to become an actor in the future - from the dawn to the early morning and dawn, or even longer.
When the students asked: What if you encounter difficulties in the creative process? The answer given by Wu Yanzu is that whether it is doing architecture and design or making movies as an actor, it is a process of cooperation. Therefore, when encountering problems, we must learn to let go of ourselves and seek help. Whenever I have a problem or am confused, I will talk to my classmates and professors.
Students and netizens have said:
Real name envy, is it too late to transfer?
For the first time in my life, I wanted to listen to a lecture
The teacher was his word, and I slept with a book in my arms every day
Laughing to death, very seriously prepared for the Presentation, but everyone just wanted to see your face
Can you help me ask when the next season of "The Wasteland" will start?
All of pyq (circle of friends) are envious of Parsons!
Is the teacher Wu Yanzu? So what paper can't be written?
There are also naughty students who leave messages saying: Hi Daniel, people say I look like u. ）

When the students asked, "Can you come down to the school to give another lecture next year?" Wu Yanzu said: "I'd love to!"
Of course, this is just a little ridicule and relaxation of the students during the mid-term period, because no matter which course or teacher they treat, everyone will study very seriously!
In many schools in the United States, professors in the classroom will regularly invite some heavyweight guests who are very high-level in the industry to share their learning and work experience, answer questions for students, and provide new learning and work ideas.
It's another day of real-name envy and jealousy!
Are there any parsons classmates?
Raise your little hand!
