Chapter 44 AB and C
Chen Nuo has been in a good mood for more than a week after the initial test.

Not only did he pass the preliminary and re-examinations smoothly, but on the third day after the preliminary examination, Zhang Yiyi finally received a call from Berlin.

On the phone, Zhang Yiyi's voice was very tired, but his tone was very excited. He told Chen Nuo that "The Dumb" had squeezed into the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival, becoming the third Chinese-language film after "The Peacock" and "A Cloud on the Horizon", and the only two low-budget films along with "Thumbsucker" from the United States.

On the phone, Zhang Yiyi's voice almost broke Chen Nuo's eardrums.

"It worked this time. I told you it would work this time! When I saw you at the entrance of the Film Academy, I felt like God was winking at me! That kick from you was the last test God gave me! Damn it, I'm lucky I made it through!"

Chen Nuo was also very happy to hear Zhang Yiyi so excited, so he asked at that time: "Then can you make the money back?"

"Yes! Definitely... Yeah, I think we can." Zhang Yiyi's excitement died down a little. "I think, uh, we can win some kind of Alfred Award, right? Otherwise, why would they choose us?"

Okay, Chen Nuo understood. Although there has been progress, the outcome is still unknown.

The phone bill was very expensive, so Zhang Yiyi hung up without saying a word.

But now that he knew he was fine, Chen Nuo could continue to focus on the exam.

In the third test, he felt good about the dance part. Then there was the character imitation. The character Chen Nuo drew was a tiger.

Chen Nuo didn't know why the tiger was considered a character. But the characters drawn by other students were not normal either. When it was his turn, he went on stage and crawled around and roared twice. He didn't know how well he performed, but seeing Li Er's serious expression, he should be qualified.

The last part is an improvisational performance.

This time, Chen Nuo drew a three-person skit with the topic: A was eating in the cafeteria and found that a stranger B was staring at him. At this time, A's companion C came over.

A boy and a girl drew the same topic, so they formed a group of two boys and one girl.

After drawing lots, the candidates had fifteen minutes to discuss with each other. Chen Nuo walked with them to the corner of the examination room, and the girl couldn't wait to say, "I'll play A, do you have any objections?"

Before Chen Nuo could say anything, the boy said, "I have an opinion. I want to play A."

The girl said, "Why? Isn't it obvious that A is a girl, B is peeking at her, she is scared, and her boyfriend C comes to help her? What's wrong with me playing A?"

The boy said: "It doesn't say gender, why can't it be you who came to peek at me, and then my friend came over?"

The girl made a vomiting expression and said, "Classmate, please stop being so narcissistic, okay?"

The boy laughed and said, "I am narcissistic? You are the narcissistic one. Why do you think B has some other purpose when he peeks at you? Can't he think you look familiar, or that there is a piece of bird shit on your face?"

The girl was so angry that her face turned red. She turned to Chen Nuo and asked, "Handsome boy, what do you say?"

Chen Nuo felt that there was nothing wrong with what the boy said. It was originally a free-play topic, and the relationships between the characters had infinite possibilities and could be designed in many ways. On the contrary, if they performed a conventional play as the girl wanted, it would not be a good thing for their group, and it would be even more difficult to satisfy the examiner.

But the girl was so persistent. Chen Nuo didn’t think it was because she didn’t understand, but because in the question, A was the easiest to stand out. If it was B or C, you could easily become a nobody.

However, he actually doesn't care, regardless of ABC. Because he thinks a role is a role, regardless of size. Moreover, Li Er also said something similar.

"I'm fine with either. How about drawing lots?"

Then draw lots with small paper balls.

The girl got A, and she got what she wanted.

The boy is B and Chen Nuo is C.

While the girl was going to the toilet, the boy said to Chen Nuo with a look of disappointment on his face: "Why don't you fight for it? Why do you have to give in to her? Now is the time to show your gentlemanly demeanor, don't you know? If you take a step back now, you may be out of the school gate, understand? All these years of hard work and efforts may go down the drain with your words of drawing lots! Isn't it a pity? Oh!"

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "I once heard my teacher say that there are no small roles, only..."

Before Chen Nuo could finish his words, he was interrupted by a boy: "Only the little actors, right? Hehe..."

The boy said with a look of "Stop fooling me" and said, "No more talking. Come on, let's talk about the words."

Since the other party would not listen, Chen Nuo did not say anything. He had auditioned three times before, twice with Zhang Yiyi and once with Chen Kexin. At that time, Chen Kexin asked him to play a double skit, and the actress who acted opposite him was a female actress named Zhou Xun.

At this time, Zhou Xun had already starred in "The Story of the Palace of Eternal Life", "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind", and "Suzhou River", and was known as the most talented actress in mainland China.

Now, the actors acting opposite him are a male and a female candidate who don't even have a name. The gap between their acting skills and Zhou Xun's is probably that of ten thousand Yang Mis.

This caused Chen Nuo to feel very uncomfortable.

The girl said: "Shouldn't you look up? You should stare at him fiercely. He is harassing your girlfriend. Why don't you react? How can I respond?"

Chen Nuo said: "But he just looked at you and didn't come up to harass you."

The girl laughed: "Can you act? Do you know what method acting is? Have you seen Staniskovsky?"

Chen Nuo said honestly: "I haven't seen it."

The girl shook her head, with a look of disdain on her face: "You haven't even seen this... Hey, B, come here, let's have a scene."

Just like that, Chen Nuo was abandoned. A and B got together and no longer cared about him, C.

He actually wanted to join in and re-form ABC, or AC, or even BC.

Because Li Er said that a good play cannot rely on you alone, it needs to be supported by you and your co-actor together.

However, A thought he knew nothing, and B thought he was a hopeless case, so they ignored him. Chen Nuo could only be a lonely C.

When it was their group's turn, the examiners saw a very strange scene.

A screamed in horror: "Ah! I'm so scared! C, where are you? This person is trying to molest me."

B laughed strangely: "Don't be afraid, beautiful girl, I just want to make friends with you."

C rushed over and stood in front of A, looking a little surprised and scared: "What did he do to you? Who are you?"

But A fled in panic, running all over the place: "No, B, don't follow me, I'm going to call the police!"

B laughed: "I didn't do anything. What can the police do to me?"

A ran away, so C had to stop B. He was a little scared, so he stepped back a little bit, "Can we talk about it nicely?"

A ran around in circles, shouting, "Hit him! Hit him now! Oh my God! How can there be such a pervert in the world? It's so scary."

B started to scream: "Am I a pervert? I just looked at you twice, and you said that to me. I can't stand it anymore. Come here and I will kill you!"

A was horrified and started to cry. She stopped running and sat down on the ground, choking with sobs: "No, no, don't come over... My boyfriend is here, he will protect me!"

B showed a crazy and evil smile. He turned around and faced the examiner. He glanced around the examination room, then turned his head 90 degrees and looked at A: "No, he won't. He's just a coward. He doesn't dare to stand in front of me. You just listen to me, or I will kill you!"

C looked at A, then at B. Everyone could see that he was a little scared and at a loss. He stretched out his arms to block B, pretending to be brave, and whispered, "What's the matter? Can you sit down and talk slowly?"

Many examiners present looked at him with shining eyes.

The examiner for this session was Cui Xinqing, a teacher with more experience than Li Er. She had taught many star students, including the famous Class 96. Seeing this, she said, "Okay, that's it. Next group."

After saying that, he whispered to Li Er next to him: "The gap between AB and C is too big."

Li Er nodded expressionlessly: "Without cooperation, it's not a play, and this C is not good either."

Cui Xinqing smiled and shook his head, saying, "Xiao Li, you are asking too much. In an exam, what matters most is personal ability. This C, whether in terms of appearance or acting skills, if our film academy doesn't accept him, the Central Academy of Drama will laugh. Please remember this for me, I want to see his name later."

"Okay, Professor Cui." Li Er nodded.
