刚刚接受了导演的采访。

哥们，我也是中国人，希望我们能成为同学！

 

[Benjamin1992]

我想知道导演项目什么时候会停止发送邀请。感觉这周之后被邀请的机会就很小了。

b不清楚，小红书上看到六七个机构在秀他们的学生收到面试邀请通知了，大部分在22-24号左右收到的邮件

我也是！我申请的编剧，也收到面试了，你们也是邮件发了一个确切的日期和时间问可不可吗？没让选日期，如果时间不合适再回复，合适就回邮件确认？

 

[Benjamin1992]

我也是！我申请的剧本，也收到面试了，你们也发了一个有意的日期和时间问可不可以？没选日期，如果时间不合适再回复，合适就回邮件确认？

当时就要回复确认时间可不可以啊， 不知道回复时间不行会怎么样，我当时就回复了，北京时间18号收到的邮件，24号早上面试的，期间收到两次邮件，一次通知时间，一次给了具体zoom的会议号，还给我发了一个有关interview的PDF

 

[Benjamin1992]

一样。我也在等编剧的面试。我有点着急。目前这里的大部分面试信息似乎都是来自导演和电影。

是真羡慕你们学编剧的，英语比我们好太多

Hello everyone! I moved the Chinese posts to this Chinese AFI thread to not confuse non-Chinese speakers on the main thread. Please continue the conversation there as well but if you want to post in Chinese please do it in this one.

Thank goodness for Google translate. I wonder how accurate it is?

Anyways good luck everyone! I'm rooting for all of you.
