I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 2 My own future...

"What the hell?"

Chen Jin suddenly sat up from the bed.

Suddenly, a virtual panel similar to the game interface popped up in front of my eyes, and a piece of white text popped up on it.

At the same time, there was the same mechanical sound as before.

[At the age of 18, despite the strong opposition from your family, you resolutely took the art exams of art academies including Nanjing Academy of Fine Arts, Shanghai Theatre Academy, Beijing Film Academy, and Central Academy of Drama... But you failed the first round of the preliminary exams in none of them! ]

[You are too embarrassed to go home, but you are unwilling to give up. You go to Hengdian alone to be an extra. You plan to take the exam again the next year. You must prove yourself to your parents no matter what! ]

[In Hengdian, you leave early and come back late every day, share a room with others, live in a rental house with only one bed, and get up at 4 a.m. to run to the actor service department to take the role! ]

……

In addition to the sounds, there are various fast-forwarded video images below the corresponding text on the virtual panel in front of me.

It was very clear, just like a movie starring Chen Jin, but the protagonist was himself. In the movie, he failed the art exam, learned from his mistakes, prepared to retake the exam, and went to Hengdian.

Then Hengdian encountered difficulties everywhere.

[At the age of 19, you have accumulated a year of acting experience in Hengdian, and played more than a hundred minor roles of various kinds, including a dead body, a eunuch, and an emperor... I thought I would be able to pass the exam this time, but I didn't expect to fail the preliminary exam again! ]

"how is this possible?"

"I've been an extra for a year and I still can't pass the exam?"

Chen Jin was a little bit unconvinced, and subconsciously reached out and clicked on the text, only to find that another reminder popped up.

[Do you want to check the details of the 19-year-old art exam, yes or no? ]

"Damn, is this possible?"

"Yes!"

Chen Jin didn't hesitate at all. He didn't know what was happening to him, but his reason told him that he had encountered something very outrageous and magical.

In 2010, there was no systematic flow for online novels, so Chen Jin was undoubtedly a little confused.

[At the age of 19, you started your second art exam, starting from Communication University of China, which is the earliest professional college in the country to conduct art exams! ]

[The first test of Communication University of China is a test of basic cultural literacy, and the specific test content includes literature, history, and philosophy. Because you did not do any research or recitation in this area beforehand, you only scored 32 points! ]

Chen Jin: “…”

It's so fucking embarrassing!
32 points... just 2 points higher than my English final exam score.

"and then?"

[The second one was the Central Academy of Drama. The first round of the exam mainly tested voice, stage, acting and performance. I failed all four of them! ]

[The third one was Beijing Film Academy. I failed the initial test of self-introduction and lines again! ]

[The fourth one…]

"okay!"

"jump over……"

Chen Jin found it hard to accept. He had been playing supporting roles in Hengdian for a year and still couldn't pass the preliminary exam. Is the art exam so difficult?

"20 years old, look at me when I was 20 years old!"

[At the age of 20, you are preparing for the re-examination. Having learned from the experience of the previous two art examinations, you are ready to earn money to take some professional courses and training! ]

[For this reason, you went to the Hengdian Actors Union every weekend to study, and the money you earned during that time was used to pay for a lot of corresponding training in voice, stage, acting and acting! ]

"This is good!"

“It’s something I can do!”

Chen Jin is quite persevering. When he was a child, he would repair DVDs by himself in order to watch movies. He learned it at that time.

This time, Chen Jin felt that he should be able to get into an art school.

[This time you were well prepared. You didn’t apply to all art schools, but selectively applied to a few, Communication University of China, Beijing Film Academy, and Central Academy of Drama… You failed the first round of the Central Academy of Drama again, and Communication University of China and Beijing Film Academy had the second round of re-examinations…]

"..."

Chen Jin was dumbfounded.

Zhuo, I worked so hard and studied for a year, but I still didn’t pass the exam.

Isn’t the difficulty of this art exam too high?

"Never mind, 21 years old!"

"Look at the 21-year-old..."

Chen Jin chose to continue, but suddenly he saw the first row of large characters on the virtual panel.

[At the age of 38, I have accomplished nothing. Considering that I have been working hard on my career as an actor...]

"Damn it! Don't tell me I didn't pass even though I scored 38 points?" Chen Jin suddenly reacted, his defenses breaking.

He hurriedly looked up his experience at the age of 21.

Fortunately, he passed the exam this time and was admitted to the Nanfang College of Art in the province, but failed to get into the Central Academy of Drama, Beijing Film Academy, etc.

But...I failed the college entrance examination.

In other words, my college entrance examination score was not high enough, I only scored over 100 points, and I missed the opportunity to go to art school again.

"It's too awful!"

"How did you get over 100 points?"

"Is this my future?"

Although Chen Jin was unwilling to believe it, looking at his experiences from the ages of 18 to 21, it was clearly something he would do with his personality.

Stubborn, and won't turn back until he hits a wall...but he still doesn't want to believe it.

Could this be a prank?!
"You're messing with me, messing with my mentality, right?"

[At the age of 22, I failed the exam again...]

[At the age of 23, you were dissuaded from several schools due to your age. You finally decided not to apply to art schools anymore, but to develop your career in Hengdian, starting as an extra and looking for your own opportunities! ]

【24 years old, still an extra! 】

[At the age of 25, after 7 years of hard work in Hengdian, with good looks, he finally became a promising actor! ]

[At the age of 26, through my own efforts, I passed the exam to become a special actor! ]

……

Chen Jin looked at the past year after year, and he kept looking at her until he was 38 years old!
He is still a special guest, but after more than 10 years of career as an extra, he has become a famous top-level special guest in Hengdian and Beijing, and can earn thousands of yuan a day when he is doing well.

But he is unmarried and of course has no children of his own. The best roles he has ever played are villains in short dramas, the master in "Dragon King's Son-in-law" and the domineering boss in "The Domineering Boss Falls in Love with Menopausal Me"... The middle-aged domineering boss is the only male protagonist he has ever played in his life!

"???"

"What is all this?"

"Sketch, overbearing CEO, son-in-law of the Dragon King, and menopause?"

Chen Jin felt confused when watching it. Will the movies and TV series of the future be so destructive to one's worldview?

[Host Chen Jin, the 'System for Extras to Counterattack and Become Veteran Actor' has been loaded! ]

[Do you want to start a counterattack in life after the age of 38? ]

【Yes or No? 】

“I’m only 18!”

"Does it take until the age of 38 to start a comeback?"

"And what kind of system is this? Why is the name so confusing? Wouldn't it be better to call it 'Best Actor System'?"

Chen Jin looked at the big white words on the panel and didn't have much to hesitate about. He didn't know what this was, but it felt a bit like a time machine from the future?

This is a machine that can transform yourself or change your destiny in advance.

It was this machine in his mind… He stretched out his hand and waved at the virtual panel in front of him, but his hand slid through the panel.

Although this system is old, it looks very sci-fi, like a high-tech future.

"Yes!"

Chen Jin wanted to see what this old system was.

If he really makes a comeback at the age of 38, he will definitely not apply to any art school.

Are you kidding? He doesn't want such a miserable life from now on.

Although the income is quite high, more than 1000 yuan a day...but it is not easy to survive for more than ten years.

Ding!
[Congratulations to the host Chen Jin for opening the 'Extras become veteran actors' system! ]

[Chen Jin, male, 38 years old, unmarried——]

“Ah… stop, stop, stop!”

"18 Ah!"

"I'm only 18 years old!"

Chen Jin protested, but the system did not make any corrections and continued to pop up text.

[At the age of 38, you regret not listening to your parents. You had a big fight with your family and didn’t go home for more than ten years. You wanted to take care of your parents but they were no longer around. You suddenly realized that you were ashamed of your parents! ]

[Task]: Put down your work and go home to accompany your parents.
