11月23日，启明星举行首映礼，正式推出第一部社区共创的品牌影片：

文末有花絮！

最早剪辑的几版，导演侯江涛都不满意——

“没能表现出启明星孩子最真实的样子。

我也是启明星的家长，

我知道他们是什么样的。”他说。

于是，

拿掉刻意的编辑，

删除过于完美的镜头，

还原真实的记录，

节奏感持续拉升，

3分钟影片，

只留下有“呼吸感”的画面！

按照这个思路一直剪下去——

整个制作团队都被感染了。

完成所有工作之后，

大家直接下楼喝了一顿！

“孩子们的青春和自信，

饱满，真实！

喷了我们一脸！”导演说。

“核”

影片开头，来自四面八方的孩子们汇到一起，

他们一道起跑，又逐渐散开，奔向自己热爱的事情。

自此，影片的“核”剥开——

这个“核”是真实的，

因为都是孩子们真心爱做、想做的事情：

徐晟尧（11年级）：我想在卡车上弹钢琴！

好的！

黄振轩（11年级）：我想开卡丁车来个漂移！

安排！

侯云瀚（7年级）：我踢个倒勾！

行，看你了！

徐恩淏（11年级）：我演科学怪人，道具我自己做——等离子炮。

好的。

滑板、乐队、读书、芭蕾、排球比赛、观鸟、柔道……

都是他们真正的热爱。

这样拍出来，孩子们才不惧瑕疵，大胆表达，

满屏的自信和享受真不是演出来的！

“每个场景都是孩子们的真活、真本事。”导演说，“所以，我们（制作团队）不断放低自己，

把空间留给他们自己去创作。

这么说吧，是孩子们自己创作了影片，

我们只是稍有手法地记录下来。”

“心”

发自本心，所以投入。

50名启明星学生自发加入拍摄，

片场里，他们鲜明的个性一再复现：

李佳徐（11年级）是个特别认真的孩子。影片里，他有个跳过一排椅子的画面。没轮到他拍摄的时候，他就在那里一遍遍练习，让工作人员大为感慨：“就跳个椅子，他还要练那么多遍。”

还有，你知道吗，李佳徐是国家一级运动员，影片里那条丝滑入水的“鱼”就是他！

芭蕾女孩叫孙悦熙（8年级），顶个爆炸头，片场里和这个聊，和那个聊，放松到不能再放松。但只要机器一开，她立马“起范”，头颈高高扬起，优雅得仿佛天鹅，和刚刚懒懒的样子判若两人。

像她这样平日里极致放松、关键时刻又不掉链子，也是启明星孩子的一类。

拍摄的日子，正是王康睿（12年级）准备大学早申和功课特别繁忙的关头。他不但爽快答应了配合杨一森（12年级）拍摄柔道的镜头，一遍遍地被摔，汗流浃背，还不辞辛苦地早上4:30就起床，从顺义的家里赶到丰台体育场参加群演的跑步拍摄。

老师心疼他：“你家太远，群演跑步就别去拍了。”他却回答：“没关系，我快毕业了，为学校做贡献的机会不多了。”让人听了欣慰又伤感。

女排的场景上演反转。按照最初的设计，A队要扣杀B队。但孩子们打得上头，A队的扣球竟被B队一个海底捞月救了起来，继而反杀。

孩子们沸腾了，她们围着导演强烈要求采用这一条。最终的编辑版本也尊重事实，收录了这段反转的剧情。

正脸

为什么要拍这部影片？

启明星是北京历史最久的双语学校之一，我们想用这支影片来展示她最美好的部分：

它不只是双语学校，注重学生的体育发展，提供有口皆碑的健康美食……更重要的是，它尊重每一个孩子，鼓励他们找到自己的道路，发展自己的优势，进而证明——成功的标准不是唯一的！

—— 执行校董许尚杰

首映礼现场

“拍摄的时候，我们每个人都能做自己喜欢的事情，这一点非常‘启明星’！”参演学生周秦（11年级）说。

“我觉得我自己非常帅！”参演学生张穆涵（9年级）说。

“我非常感动。孩子们的青春是短暂的，记录下来很宝贵！感谢学校！”一位参演学生的家长说。

“我们一直喜欢为孩子规划路线，充当他们背后的推手，站在他们背后目送他们远行。这一次，我们在影片中看到了孩子们的正脸。原来他们那么自信地笑，投入地跑。看到他们的状态，我自己的精神也得到了反哺！”又一位家长感言。

镜头合上，可那种扑面而来的青春仍在空气里震动。

孩子们用他们的方式告诉我们：成长不是被安排，而是被点燃。

愿每一个启明星的孩子，继续带着这份真实和勇气，向光奔跑，向心而行！

On November 23, Daystar Academy officially released its first promotional film created by the community .

There’s a surprise waiting for you at the end of this post!

In the earliest cuts of the film, Director Hou Jiangtao wasn’t satisfied.

“It didn’t capture the essence of what Daystar students are truly like. I’m a Daystar parent myself. I know what they’re like,” he said.

So he stripped away the overly polished edits,

cut out the too-perfect shots, and brought everything back to real, honest moments.

He allowed the rhythm to rise higher;

and in the end, this three-minute film was left with only one thing—images thatbreathe.

As they continued editing along this direction, the entire production team was swept up by the energy.

When they wrapped, everyone went straight downstairs for a celebratory drink.

“The kids’ youth and confidence—

so full, so real—

it practicallyburst offthe screen!” Director Hou laughed.

The “Core:” What’s Real

The film opens with students converging from all directions.

They take off together, and then gradually peel off to pursue what they love.

That’s where the “core” of the film begins to unfold.

This “core” is real—

because every scene is made entirely of what the students genuinely wanted to do:

Alvin Xu(eleventh grade): “I want to play piano… on a truck!”

Done.

Mcqueen Huang(eleventh grade): “I want to drift in a go-kart!”

Absolutely.

Sam Hou(seventh grade): “I want to do a bicycle kick!”

NigelXu(eleventh grade): “I want to be a mad scientist. I’ll make my own props— a plasma cannon.”

Approved.

Skateboarding, band practice, reading, ballet, volleyball, birding, judo…

These are all things Daystar students truly love and do every day.

Because the scenes came from real life, the students weren’t afraid of imperfections.

They stepped forward boldly, expressing themselves with authentic joy and confidence—none of which was staged at all.

“Every scene captures their real lives and real skills.

Our job was to step back, make space, and let them create.

Honestly, they made the film themselves—

we just recorded it, with a bit of craftsmanship,”

the director said.

Wholehearted

When something comes from the heart, you relax; and when you relax, you give your whole self.

Fifty Daystar students joined the shoot voluntarily.

On set, their personalities came through clear and bright:

Ethan Li(eleventh grade) is incredibly dedicated. In one scene, he jumps over a row of chairs. Between takes—long before it was his turn—he practiced over and over. The crew was amazed: “He’s just jumping over chairs, but he’s still rehearsing so many times!”

And—guess what? Ethan is a national-level athlete. That smooth, flying dive into the water? That’s him!

Teresa Sun(eighth grade), our ballet dancer, showed up with a joyful explosion of curls, chatting leisurely with everyone on set. But the moment the camera rolled, she immediately snapped into form. Her posture lifted, her neck long and elegant, like a swan—nothing like the relaxed teen from a moment before.

Students who are easygoing day-to-day but absolutely reliable when it counts, she’s one of them.

ForKerry Wang(twelfth grade), shooting happened right in the middle of college early-decision season and some of his heaviest academic weeks. Even so, he immediately agreed to help film the judo scene withEthan Yang(twelfth grade), getting thrown again and again until he was drenched in sweat. He also woke up at 4:30 a.m. to travel from Shunyi to the Fengtai Stadium for the group running scene.

When a teacher told him, “Your home’s too far—don’t worry about the group run,” Kerry replied: “It’s okay. I’m graduating soon. I won’t have many more chances to do something for my school.” It was the kind of answer that warmed—and broke—the teachers’ hearts.

The girls’ volleyballscene took an unexpected turn.

Originally, Team A was supposed to spike the ball for the win. But once they started playing for real, Team A’s spike was miraculously saved by Team B with a stunning dig and counterattack.

The girls erupted with excitement and begged the director to use that shot. The final cut stayed true to the moment and included the reversal.

Facing Forward

Why did we make this film?

“Daystar is one of Beijing’s longest-established bilingual schools. With this film, we wanted to show its most beautiful essence—

at Daystar, every student has their own path, their own way of developoing strengths, and their own passion strong enough to tear off whatever labels others try to put on them,”

—Jack Xu, Executive Board Member of Daystar Academy

Film Premiere Ceremony

“When we were filming, everyone got to do what they truly enjoy — that’s so Daystar!” saidJoe Zhou（eleventh grade）in the cast.

“I think I looked really cool!” saidMonday Zhang（ninth grade）who also appeared in the film.

“I was deeply moved. Youth is fleeting, and capturing it on film is truly precious. Thank you, Daystar!” said one parent of a student actor.

“We parents are always planning the route for our children, quietly pushing from behind, watching them head off into the distance. This time, in the film, we saw their faces — their confident smiles, the way they ran with full passion. Seeing them like that fed my own spirit,” another parent shared.
