Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 457 Three Beautiful Girls Taking the Art Exam, Little Honey Collapses and Cries, Wen Yongshan Expresses Gratitude

The current art entrance exams have a rather unique format for their professional subject examinations.

First, the application is directional.

The admission brochure clearly states that it is mainly divided into several categories, such as performance, directing, etc. Well, in the general understanding of ordinary people, these are the two main categories.

Of course, there are other things, such as art direction and set design, but those are usually done behind the scenes.

My main choices for university are acting and directing.

The school does this to make it easier for applicants. After all, most people don't know how to apply to schools like the Central Academy of Drama or Beijing Film Academy without professional training from art exam preparation institutions.

Now that you've chosen a specific major, there are many more options available.

Simply put, this directional application means that those with higher scores will enter undergraduate programs, while those with lower scores will enter vocational college programs.

Vocational college or junior college, these are actually the same thing.

I believe that any intelligent person can immediately see where the feasibility lies.

Because of their practices, students from vocational high schools, private schools, or even very young schools have the opportunity to enter undergraduate programs.

As long as the teacher thinks the candidate is good and gives them a high score, then everything can be done.

However, to be fair, the teachers who conduct art exams do have a very keen eye, and they don't just randomly recruit students. Many students who receive special treatment have a very high chance of becoming famous and big stars in the future.

Just like the first candidate who received special treatment, she was Gong Li.

Gong Li was saved because her teachers wrote letters to the higher authorities.

And later... didn't this become a kind of 'power'?

To put it bluntly, these art exam teachers have gained a certain amount of influence.

This power of discourse, while not immense, is not insignificant either.

Some students, if the teacher takes a liking to them at first glance, can be accepted.

There were people like Xiaoming, Liu Ye, and many women, such as Hai Qing. Back then, she didn't even go through the exam process before the teachers directly decided on her, and she was accepted by both the Central Academy of Drama and the Beijing Film Academy.

After all, third place in the Taoli Cup is highly prestigious.

What about the reverse?
Whether or not you can get noticed by the teacher is the key!

Xiao Mi is currently in a state of panic, like an ant on a hot plate, because of her upcoming art exam.

She hadn't paid much attention to it at first, assuming that her two godmothers had been bribed.

But based on what I've seen recently... it seems like the two godmothers haven't done anything at all!

The most crucial element is comparison.

Compared to Wen Yongshan, I feel like I'm an unwanted child... nobody cares about me!

What if I don't get into Beijing Film Academy?
Xiao Mi really can't believe it. Although she's not very old now, she's always had a smooth life.

Well, it really went very smoothly, even more smoothly than many children.

She recorded a TV program at a very young age, and the way she looked back then... Xiao Mi herself blushed when she saw it, but others said it was quite cute.

That's cute, hehe...

When Xiao Mi thinks about this, she is still quite proud. After that, she went to various film crews and has been filming ever since.

It went really smoothly.

Although she is not as talented as other child stars, such as Li Xiaolu, whom she knows well, she has won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress!

There are others, like Jin Ming and Ye Mou, who became very popular in Qiong Yao's dramas.

That's right. Judging from her achievements, among child stars, Xiao Mi can only be said to have been acting all along. Her achievements are decent, but she can't really be considered top-tier.

He has acted in many dramas, but none of them have become household names.

Currently, the most famous of these dramas are "Tang Minghuang" and "King of Beggars".

Actually, she hadn't memorized the movie "King of Beggars" yet; she was too young at the time and knew nothing about it.

Forget about those childhood memories; her most important task right now is to get into the Beijing Film Academy!

Hmm... I'll ask my godmother again.

As a result, Xiao Mi still didn't receive any care from her godmother. In fact, the godmother simply put on a long face when she heard that it was about art exams.

"I already told you, with your qualifications, there's no problem."

Don't you trust our judgment?

This... is equivalent to saying nothing at all, and the key point is that he even scolded his mistress.

Xiao Mi was heartbroken, but there was nothing she could do.

I had no choice but to leave through my two godmothers, but is that all?
Fortunately, she has been in the industry for many years and has some connections of her own.

Call a friend.

"Hey, Zha Zha, you're taking the arts exam this year..."

"Hey Honey, are you still half asleep or having a fit? Where did you hear that I'm taking the art exam this year?"

"I, I... Hey, how can you talk like that?"

"That's just how I talk. You've known me for a while now."

“Zhaza, you…”

"Don't use that term of address, we're not that close!"

Good grief, I got completely crushed by my 'friend'.

This is definitely a hot topic. Yang Mi figured that since the two of them were about the same age, they should probably take the art exam as well.

But... what's wrong with these sisters?

It felt like I'd taken some kind of toxic medicine!
Actually, Xiao Mi and Re Yizha only did a magazine shoot together. She's definitely closer to Re Yizha than friends.

But she doesn't have to go this far, does she?
Forget it, there's no point in asking her anyway, I'll just think about it myself.

Xiao Mi, like an ant on a hot pan, is now waiting for the art exam.

……

The art exam consists of three parts.

Preliminary test, second test, and third test.

But many people may not know that the highest elimination rate is actually in the preliminary test.

Nine out of ten candidates will be eliminated in this preliminary test!

To put it bluntly, the first impression from the initial test basically determines whether you get in or not.

If you can get into the third round, then you can basically say that you're guaranteed admission.

Those who made it to the third round but failed might have... perhaps some special issues.

Therefore, the preliminary test is truly the most important.

First impressions are absolutely crucial.

Xiao Mi was wearing a thin down jacket and stood outside the gate of the Beijing Film Academy.

The weather in Beijing right now is really cold.

The test takers were all waiting, along with their parents.

And... huh?

"Hey! Didn't you say you weren't going to take the exam?"

The mistress couldn't help but grab one of the men's wrists and berate him!

"What are you doing! Let go!" He shook off his mistress's hand and said righteously, "Why do I have to tell you whether I take the exam or not? How I take the exam and when I take it is up to me!"

That's right, it's a hot one.

How could Xiao Mi not be angry when she saw Reyizha among the exam takers!

What did we say on the phone again? Didn't you say you weren't coming to take the exam?

Actually, Reyizha is about the same age as Xiaomi, but she had taken the exam a long time ago, but unfortunately she didn't pass last year.

Moreover, she and her mistress had only done magazine shoots together, and although it was more than once, they weren't particularly good friends.

We're just colleagues at best.

I didn't tell my girlfriend about the art exam last year, and I don't plan to tell her this year either.

However, this year, Xiaomi suddenly called Reyizha and asked about the art exam.

What does this mean? What will people think of Hotzha?
Are you, Yang Mi, trying to make your sisters look bad?
Well, Reyizha isn't exactly known for her good temper, and since she's also a test-taker who failed last year, she's under even more pressure than Yang Mi.

So, Xiao Mi just happened to walk right into a trap.

The two of them are about to tear each other apart the moment they see each other!
Fortunately, with her parents there, nothing serious happened, but her parents were quite puzzled, wondering what was wrong with their child.
Naturally, neither Xiao Mi nor Re Yizha said much.

Thankfully, the exam has started.

The initial test gave the candidates a very rough and unregulated feeling.

It was a large group of people going in together. They were probably going in ten people at a time, according to their exam numbers.

Right after separating from Reyizha, Xiao Mi immediately ran into an acquaintance.

Moon Yong-shan!
Originally, their test numbers were very close when they registered, so they were bound to be in the same group for the preliminary test.

Ten candidates stood there, with several teachers in front of them.

come on.

After exchanging a glance with Wen Yongshan, Xiao Mi naturally didn't say anything, but the things in their eyes were quite interesting.

Keep it up... yeah, that's probably what it means.

Xiao Mi felt a warmth in her heart.

But next...

The preliminary test mainly consisted of recitation, talent performance, and skit.

Recitation is a script, but talents can be chosen, and many boys can showcase their martial arts skills.

The girls basically just sing.

Those who can dance can choose dance.

Xiao Mi sang, but actually... she didn't do much preparation; she just chose this song in the last few days.

Nanniwan!
The girl was also caught off guard and started singing right away, but soon...

"Singing off-key?"

"Ah, this... hehe..."

A teacher pointed it out on the spot, and Xiaomi could only give an awkward smile.

But it's alright, the teacher probably didn't care... Really?

While Xiao Mi was pondering, Wen Yongshan started.

She also sings, but!
"Teacher, may I sing Cantonese songs?"

"Of course there's no problem."

“Of course, Hong Kong candidates can apply.”

what?
Others might not think anything of it, but in Xiao Mi's eyes... sure enough! She was being taken care of!

Xiao Mi felt even more bitter. Recalling everything that had happened before, she was certain that Wen Yongshan would do better than her in this exam.

And naturally, none of the Cantonese songs that followed were off-key.

Xiao Mi was thinking... "Oh no, oh no."

But that's not the worst part. After this initial test, Xiaomi saw Hot One.

she cried!
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Mi's question was purely out of concern.

But the other person just thought she was laughing at her, saying, "Don't be so smug! I'll pass the exam no matter what!"

Oh no, it must be another misunderstanding.

Xiao Mi was completely at her wit's end.

But actually, Xiao Mi was really upset.

She was actually more confused about whether she could pass the exam.

Next, she met up with her parents, who naturally asked about the exam, but Xiao Mi had no interest in answering.

Because she happened to see a scene by chance.

Wen Yongshan got into an Audi sedan with a big smile on her face.

That's Ma Xun inside!

What is Xiao Mi thinking right now?

……

"Boss, why are you the one picking me up?"

“I’m going that way anyway. Our company is a bit short-staffed right now, and it’s my fault too. The company is busy expanding everywhere and has too many announcements. You still have to go to a business meeting. The advertisers there want to see your situation, so I’ll give you a ride.”

"Advertisement? This..."

"What? Don't want to answer?"

"Of course not! I absolutely have to take it. My boss is so good to me, I, I..."

"What are you talking about? Just do your job well and help me make money, that's all."

"Ah."

Ma Xun's words were entirely true, but Wen Yongshan interpreted them differently.

To this day, Wen Yongshan has only one thought in her mind: her choice back then was the right one!

Mr. Ma is definitely a good boss.

Not to mention compared to those big shots in Hong Kong, even in the whole country, he is the best boss in the entertainment industry.

With such a great boss, Wen Yongshan felt a desire to take things a step further.

This little girl is already thinking about improving herself; she's smart!
Then, Wen Yongshan began to talk about her experiences during the exam. Naturally, she not only talked about Xiao Mi but also mentioned Re Yizha.

“Oh, that girl…” Ma Xun remembered it vividly.

Just water splashes.

But in reality, before playing this role, this girl was very rebellious and had all sorts of messy experiences.

Well, it's not that she's a bad person, but her personality is really explosive.

This "explosion" means that if there's even a little fire, it will explode.

It was probably after starring in "Blind Cinema" with Zhou Yiwei that he finally made a name for himself.

It's worth noting that the director of this film was Lu Yang, the same Lu Yang who later directed "Brotherhood of Blades" and "A Writer's Odyssey".

Interestingly, Lu Yang is a fan of Yang Mi.

It seems like he's still the career-oriented type.

Never mind, all that will come later.

As for this art exam, Re Yizha should have passed, but only in a vocational college program.

Reyizha won't go into too much detail about this, but you can tell just by looking at her resume. She was admitted this year and will graduate in 07. A two-year program would only qualify her for a vocational college.

And right now...

"Looks like you did well on the exam."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yongshan naturally replied, "It's all thanks to the boss's guidance."

Ma Xun smiled after hearing this, "I didn't do much. In the end, it all depends on the teacher's judgment. Don't think I pulled a lot of strings. Actually, what I'm saying is, if you really aren't cut out for this, don't give me face, teacher."

Good grief, he said that?
But Wen Yongshan still smiled broadly after hearing this, "That's good too, and..."

As she spoke, she casually reached out her small hand to Ma Xun's hand that was shifting gears.

"Boss, I, I actually..."

The touch of delicate fingers on the back of Ma Xun's hand was subtle, but it was enough.

“You’re still too young.” Ma Xun understood Wen Yongshan’s meaning, of course.

Upon hearing this, Janice Man did not back down, and even said, "In this regard, don't men generally prefer smaller ones?"

After she finished speaking, her heart was pounding.

Ma Xun shook his head and said, "I've said it before, it's true I play around with women, but I'm not that perverted."

This is already considered a rejection.

But Wen Yongshan was still unwilling to give up, and took Ma Xun's hand to her...

"It's because this place is small, right?"

Small?

Ma Xun quickly pulled his hand back. "What are you doing, girl! Don't you know? If we get caught on camera, we'll be fined!"

Huh? A fine? Really?

Wen Yongshan genuinely didn't know and asked curiously.

Ma Xun was at a loss. How could this be explained?
Fortunately, we arrived at the place agreed upon with the advertiser.

Ma Xun was unaware that when Wen Yongshan pressed her for answers, she was actually thinking about something.

That is, during the art exams, everyone has to take off their coats.

Upon seeing this, Wen Yongshan noticed that Yang Mi was indeed quite large...
