I'm not a drama freak, I can really see through the script

Chapter 63: Another interesting candidate
"How about it?"

“It feels okay.”

At this time, in a noodle stall not far from Beijing Film Academy, Wei Ming invited Li Xuan to eat large pieces of beef noodles. It was the Lanzhou ramen of 2002. It was not just a few pieces of meat, but real pieces of meat, and all the meat used was fresh.

In the cold winter, eating a bowl of hot noodle soup is really delicious.

The TV at the stall was broadcasting news about this year's Winter Olympics.

"It's good. Do your best. I believe you can do it." Wei Ming said while eating noodles, "The first test is your mentality. If you have a good mentality, good looks, and can speak without stuttering, there won't be any big problems."

In terms of appearance, Wei Ming still has full confidence in Li Xuan.
Wei Ming said at this time.

"But just this first level, which tests your mentality and appearance, is enough to eliminate many people."

"correct."

The art exam for Beijing Film Academy is just like the college entrance exam for ordinary prestigious universities, where thousands of people are competing for a single spot.

These are not levels that can be easily passed.

Each level has its own meaning.

"These parents are full of ambition, but when the exams are over, their reactions are interesting."

Wei Ming also said something interesting.

When several parents gathered together to chat before, he was able to participate in the topic. They all hoped that their sons and daughters would become successful. Parents of the second and third generation of movie stars even thought that their children could become star students.

That is, while in school, you won one of the three recognized awards, whether it is for a movie or a TV series.

As long as you can get it, it’s awesome.

However, this is easier said than done. For a serious actor, it is already quite impressive to win one or two awards before the age of 30.

For most actors, getting one or two nominations is already the greatest achievement in their life.

These parents think that their children can become star students, which are rare. But the problem is that sometimes there may not even be one in a class. If so many people think that their children can do it, how is that possible?

"The Best Newcomer Award, right? Winning any of the major Best Newcomer awards would make you a star student. Looking across the three major universities, not many people can win awards during their student careers."

"And guess what? When their children came out of the exam room, they all said they had performed poorly and would try again next year." Wei Ming took a bite of noodles. "They were fucking star students."

Li Xuan was neither amused nor sad about this. This kind of feedback was indeed interesting. The road of these second-generation stars to becoming star students collapsed before it even began.

You can't do whatever you want just because of who your parents are.

Objective reality will not change because of this.

This is actually the advantage of a half-baked actor like Li Xuan.

Mentally, it is almost possible, and it will definitely beat those guys who only talk big but do nothing.

Although there is no rich theoretical knowledge.

But he has rich practical experience.

It is an extremely huge advantage.

"After you finish the three rounds of exams, we can take a break and watch your next film, 'Young Zhang Sanfeng'."

As for the audition for "Infernal Affairs", compared to filming, it was not that troublesome. It just depends on whether the director thinks you are suitable, and it can be done in almost half a day.

What's more, I can just stay in Peking and don't have to go anywhere, which makes life extremely relaxing.

Wei Ming said.

"If we can pass the exam this time, we'll give up our rental house in Hengdian and move to Peking."

Wei Ming figured it out. Although being a migrant worker in Beijing is much more stressful than being a migrant worker in Hengyang, there are also many more opportunities under the emperor's rule.

Even my nephew has changed.

I need to change myself too!
"Okay, if you pass the exam, we can live in the dormitory directly."

At this time, Li Xuan ordered another serving of cold beef.

My health has improved, and I need more nutrition. The daily sit-ups and other exercises I do all require energy. My life has improved a lot compared to when I first started. At least now I can eat meat when I want, without having to worry about not having a film to take on or even having to keep the stove on.

It's clear that when I was filming "The Emperor of Han Dynasty", I was still a rookie who could only eat meat by eating boxed lunches.

Now looking back.

Even in the capital, you can eat meat freely.

very nice.

Second round of exams.

The test covers body shape, vocal music, and propositional performance.

The propositional performance has some randomness.

The second round of re-examination also quietly began.

Compared with the first round, there are many more Maybachs and luxury cars parked in front of the Beijing Film Academy. Those second-generation and third-generation stars have to go home and prepare to fight again next year.

"My phone has been bombarded with calls, and everyone is asking me why I don't give them a little face," said Wang Jinsong.

"If face can replace scores, then the authority of our Beijing Film Academy will be truly destroyed." Chen Bing beside him said with a smile.

This actor, who graduated from the undergraduate class of 87, is now the director of the Performance Theory Teaching and Research Department.

This is roughly the path of an actor.

Otherwise, just keep walking on the path of an actor, go to the extreme, go to the end, to the point where you are admired by everyone.

Whether you focus on one line or direct, write and perform your own work.

Always active on stage.

However, not everyone can be active on stage, and not everyone can be active all the time.

When it comes to the entertainment industry, people in the industry have a very clear consensus that for most people, like flowers that do not last forever and people who are not young again, there is no such thing as long-lasting beauty. Most people enjoy a moment of glory, but in the end, they will only be weathered by the wind and frost.

Nowadays, it is very enviable to see some people who are so successful and glorious. However, those of them who have experienced it have already seen clearly that the glory is only temporary.

When the 90 percent of people experience the ebb tide.

Some people left the stage in disgrace, while others continued to shine in the entertainment industry, like Chen Bing and Wang Jinsong, who retreated to the second line to cultivate the next generation of fresh blood for the entertainment industry.

"You are not here to invigilate today, so why are you here?" At this moment, Chen Bing saw that this teacher, Mr. Shell, was a little late.
The three rounds of invigilation were conducted by different teachers in order to avoid any social interactions. Even the judges' scores were only written on a form and would not be known to those around them. The scores were then combined to take the average.

The purpose is to make these three rounds of interviews as fair as possible.

It is not only about cultivating the school spirit and the character of teachers, but also about avoiding favoritism and fraud through practical actions.

"I don't really have any scoring authority this round. Wait a minute, I'll just watch from the sidelines as an invigilator."

Chen Bing immediately saw through his old friend's thoughts.

"Did you meet any interesting candidates?"

Wang Jinsong paused and nodded.

"Is it that super pretty little girl?"

The girl who had already been designated as the campus belle of the 2002 Beijing Film Academy before she even entered school could be said to be able to give a score with her eyes closed.

Just this appearance and temperament.

It is not impossible to enroll for the same reason as Huang Xiaoming did back then.

"She counts as one."

"There is still one?"

"Well, there's one more."
