Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 159 The Soft-Hearted God
The capital is a slightly arid city with little rain in spring, but strangely it has been raining continuously these days.

The streets are hazy with drizzle and are filled with pedestrians holding umbrellas. The silky rain curtain stretches across the dark sky and falls softly on every corner of this city.

Shen Juan usually likes to stay at home and sleep in comfortably on rainy days. He would lie on the comfortable and soft bed, wrap his body in a warm quilt, and listen quietly to the pure sound of rain outside in a half-asleep state. This feeling always makes him happy and refreshed.

But after all, he is an adult who has left the ivory tower of school early and entered the society to start working.

Many times, we have no choice but to do things for our careers. We can’t sleep when we want to or rest when we want to.

So after a quick wash and change of clothes, Shen Juan met up with his team members and took a car to today's work location to complete the shooting of the Amul endorsement materials.

In the back seat of the business car, Shen Juan, who was squinting and drowsy, glanced at Yang Yangjin, who was also sleepy beside him. The brother and sister looked at each other in silence. Out of their desire to win and their dignity, they both silently suppressed their yawns and lowered their heads to eat the breakfast that their assistant had bought in advance, trying to get themselves back in shape and revive in this way.

Only the young assistant, who had the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, was in high spirits. He was sitting in front of Shen Juan and chattering on his mobile phone. According to his usual work routine on the way to work, he read out today's major social news and hot entertainment trends for him in the most standard broadcasting tone possible.

After hearing various news highlights, the assistant's voice suddenly stopped, and then he handed over the phone.

The picture that appeared on the mobile phone screen was the Haidian campus of the Beijing Film Academy, which Shen Juan was very familiar with.

Beijing Film Academy holds its art examinations here almost every year.

This year is certainly no exception.

"The annual art exam of Beijing Film Academy, the cradle of many star actors in our entertainment industry, has officially started some time ago. Let us experience the youthful beauty and youthful style of these new students who are very likely to become big stars in the future."

Several media filming teams with authorization from the school were stationed outside the teaching building, and they were interviewing the art exam students coming out of the examination room one by one.

"Hello, classmate. Can you briefly introduce yourself in front of the camera? And then share why you want to take the art exam? Why do you want to apply for Beijing Film Academy?"

The reporter's voice-over sounded.

"In fact, in the public's perception, art exam candidates seem to be associated with poor grades. Generally, only students with poor grades will choose to take art exams, while students with top grades will basically choose to continue to develop their cultural subjects. But my high school grades were actually pretty good, and I was among the top students in the class. The reason I chose the art exam route was mainly because of my love for acting. I want to be an excellent actress like Zhang Ziyi and Li Bingbing."

The high school girl, who is relatively good-looking, openly shows her future expectations in front of the camera.

The scene changes to another student.

"If you pass the art exam and get admission, what are your expectations for campus life in the future?"

"I have a lot of expectations, but I haven't thought about them in detail yet. But what I'm looking forward to the most is meeting Shen Juan at school, and then rushing up to him to ask for his autograph and take a photo. But I heard that he seldom comes to school for classes, and my major doesn't seem to be on the same campus as his."

The girl with the bob haircut may have never been interviewed before, so she was a little shy in front of the camera, but she still mustered up the courage to express her wish.

The scene shifts to the third student.

"Hello everyone, my name is Lin Boyang, I am 18 years old, from Xiamen, Fujian, my goal is to..."

A beautiful girl who looked familiar to Shen Juan appeared in the camera. She was talking with a generous and natural smile on her face. Her graceful demeanor was very attractive.

Have I seen her somewhere?
Or. Has she acted in some future film or TV series that left a deep impression on me?

Shen Juan fell into deep thought.

After a while, the girl named Lin Boyang finished the interview and left, and another equally beautiful girl appeared on the screen.

She was wearing a long down jacket that looked very student-like, holding a black umbrella in her hand, and a gentle and peaceful smile on her bare face.

"Hello everyone, my name is Hu Lianxin, I'm 18 years old, and I'm from the Longgang Affiliated Middle School of Central China Normal University in Shenzhen."

Shen Juan widened his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but sigh that the art examination scenes of the three major theaters were really "crouching tigers, hidden dragons"!
Isn't it? I met an acquaintance again.

"May I ask why you want to take the art exam and why you want to apply for Beijing Film Academy?" The reporter outside the screen met another good-looking art exam candidate and asked the question with great interest.

"Because I want to meet Shen Juan! I'm a fan of Shen Juan." The girl's smile became brighter and brighter, and she naturally and confidently expressed her beautiful fantasy about the future. "If I can successfully enter Beijing Film Academy, I can become his junior schoolmate. I think it shouldn't be a problem."

"Forehead"

The reporter was speechless for a moment and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Is this the nth student today who has said that he is a fan of Shen Juan and registered for the Beijing Film Academy's arts exam for him?
Is he really that popular?

Is the appeal of amateur killer really so exaggerated? Why can so many amateurs approach him and verify the rumors in person?

"Any other expectations?"

"Maybe there will be other expectations in the future, but now there is only this one. Meeting Shen Juan is my original motivation and the biggest expectation!" Hu Lianxin shook her head.

"Well, you must have put in a lot of effort in preparing for the art exam during this period? Can you share your preparation experience with everyone?" The reporter continued to ask questions according to the outline.

"Although academic performance and professional courses are important, I think the most important thing is to find the spiritual sustenance and source of strength that can make you determined to achieve your goals. Shen Juan is really a very, very high-quality idol. I think everyone can fall in love with Shen Juan. He will not let you down. Come and join our big family!" Where did this living fossil old fan come from? If Shen Juan learns the art of stir-fried noodles like his predecessor named Wu, wouldn't he be so excited every night?
The reporter took a deep breath, suppressed the jealousy and envy that kept rising in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "Besides Beijing Film Academy, have you applied to other colleges?"

"No, only Beijing Film Academy." Hu Lianxin smiled and shook her head again with a firm look in her eyes, "Wherever Shen Juan is, I will go there, so apart from Beijing Film Academy, I will not go anywhere else!"

After the interview video ended, the comment section below became a team-building site for fan club fans.

[Why do all the pretty girls come to Beijing Film Academy? 】

[Wow! So many beautiful 18-year-old girls are Sister Juan. Suki is really fucking awful! I bet Wu Jiaheng must be very envious of Shen Juan after watching this video! Shen Juan's current life and achievements are the ideal future that Wu Jiaheng has always dreamed of.]

[Mullet. With Lu Han and Wu Jiaheng in front of him, how can he still like Tu Juan? The aesthetic taste of young people nowadays is really becoming more and more distorted and abstract. Domestic entertainment is completely finished. ]

[Idiot, do you want to see how your Lu Han, Wu Jiaheng, and Shen Juan were exposed when they were in the same frame? ]

[SNH48’s Sun Zhenni seems to be coming to Beijing Film Academy as well. She said in her live broadcast APP that she originally wanted to stay in Shanghai to study at the Shanghai Theatre Academy because it is close to home and she can also take care of her work in theater performances. But after seeing Shen Juan, who is also from Shanghai, go to Beijing Film Academy, she decided to sign up to be an actor there.]

[This year's Beijing Film Academy has more females than males]

[It's okay, we can let our amateur killer release some yang energy to neutralize it. I believe that with his physical fitness from the concussion he got from the electric eel, he should be able to handle it.]

[It’s hard to say, after all, there are more wolves than meat]

Seeing that so many post-00s are his fans, Shen Juan couldn't help feeling a little proud and secretly happy.

Rich middle-aged female fans who are willing to spend money are certainly important, but in today's era of traffic and streaming media, capturing young people is equivalent to capturing the future.

For Shen Juan, these delicate flowers in bud are the guarantee for promoting the future development of his career.

So it’s really hard to be unhappy.

Zhang Jingyi sat alone in the coffee shop.

The interview was more stressful than I had imagined. Even my voice was shaking uncontrollably.

The acting skills I learned from teachers in college and the stage experience I gained from performing on stage in high school seemed to have turned into a blank, and I couldn't mobilize even a little bit of it.

Her own trembling voice that kept echoing in the empty room and the stiff face in the floor-length mirror made her feel ashamed.

Although the teachers in charge of the interview did not show obvious disappointment or disgust, she really made a lot of preparations for this hard-won interview opportunity and sacrificed a lot of her personal time.

She didn't expect it to end in such a shameful way. She was really unwilling to accept it and very disappointed in herself.

Burying her face in the collar of her white turtleneck sweater, her ponytail drooped listlessly, the dejected girl felt very uncomfortable.

Passed the art exam and was admitted to Beijing Film Academy
Perhaps it is really as many netizens said, it is just a beginning that is least worthy of praise from outsiders.

There is still a long way to go before entering the real entertainment industry, and there are still many difficulties to overcome.

On this difficult road, most people end up at a fork in their lives because they cannot see the end.

Only a very small number of people can get the opportunity to perform in film and television dramas as they wish, and through subsequent efforts stay in this glamorous entertainment industry.

Will I have this opportunity in the future?
Zhang Jingyi is not sure about the answer to this question.

The only thing she was clear about was that this performance organization called Yamashita Academy was probably the closest place to the entertainment industry that she could get into at this stage.

Although March in the capital is already early spring, there is still some snow that has not melted on the streets, making the entire street look covered in silver, with a pure white beauty.

But in the eyes of the girl dominated by negative emotions, everything around her is still so gray, as if shrouded in mist, and she can't find any colorful things.

Until the figure appeared, gently pushing open the door and walking into the cafe.

Although the lower half of his face couldn't be seen clearly because of the mask, the pair of beautiful eyes exposed were impressive enough to recognize who he was.

The girl suddenly thought of the line from "Goblin" that left a deep impression on her last year:
You are very lucky today to meet such a soft-hearted God.

The boy who had just arrived turned around after ordering coffee and saw her. He paused for a few seconds, seeming a little stunned and surprised, but soon he skillfully put on an invisible smile hidden under the mask, squinted his handsome eyes and greeted her in a way that only the two of them could see.

Although he had only met the big star up close once during the school sports meet last year when he was delivering love letters to his roommate, he obviously remembered his face and took the initiative to greet him in a friendly manner when they met again.

Then she inexplicably thought of the phrase that became popular on the Internet due to the popularity of "Goblin":

Will I encounter a soft-hearted God this winter?
On such a bad rainy day, I ran into an old friend in a cafe near the interview location. She was someone my roommates and best friends often talked about, but whom I rarely saw at school. It really felt like a trance that was not quite real.

so.
She thought she had met a soft-hearted God.
