Huayu: Were you ever a top star before writing nonsense?

Meanwhile, in female dormitory room 1301.

Zhao Ji was idly browsing the Baidu Tieba forum for the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Academy.

With the start of the new semester, the online forums are bustling with activity again.

Posts of all kinds are dazzling: making friends, asking about pretty girls, renting apartments, having sex at restaurants off campus, club recruitment...

"Honey, here's a gift I brought you."

Li Jinming placed a bag of walnuts on Zhao Ji's writing desk.

Zhao Ji glanced at the walnut with her beautiful eyes, and said with a slight smile, "Cao Fan's walnut?"

Li Jinming hummed in agreement.

"Jin Ming, I'm actually interested in the iron pots from your place. Could you bring me one next time?"

"What do you need an iron pot for?" Li Jinming's eyes widened. "You can't even cook."

"There's a Red Wolf in Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, so I want one too."

"That's a frying pan. Our iron pans are round-bottomed, and that big," Li Jinming said, gesturing with his hands to make a shape.

"Is it this big, or this big, or this big..." Zhao Ji stretched out his finger and drew circles in the air, small circles, medium circles, large circles.

Li Jinming: "..."

She felt she had made the right choice in buying walnuts; Zhao Ji needed to boost his brainpower.

"Okay, just kidding." Zhao Ji chuckled, then opened the drawer and took out a beautifully packaged jewelry box tied with a bow.

Li Jinming's eyes lit up instantly.

"Baby, I love you." After saying that, she quickly gave Zhao Ji a kiss on the cheek, then took the jewelry box, opened it, and inside was a beautiful bracelet.

"Thank you, Sister Fu." Li Jinming smiled like a peach blossom in early spring, overjoyed.

Zhao Ji smiled and turned back to continue browsing the forum.

She refreshed the page, and several new posts appeared, one of which quickly caught her attention.

[Shen Can's fan club is now being formed; students are welcome to sign up.]

The poster's nickname is "Kuankuan Shenshen".

Judging from the Baidu Tieba level, this account should have been created recently.

"Shen Can? Who's that?"

A question arose in Zhao Ji's mind. She had heard of and even knew some of the prominent figures among the students at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, from the classes of 04 to 06, but she had never heard of "Shen Can".

Driven by intense curiosity, Zhao Ji moved the mouse and clicked on the post.

The next second, an image appeared on the screen.

The picture shows a tall, handsome man dressed simply, with a buzz cut, holding a guitar, and singing passionately with his head tilted back.

"She's very good-looking." Zhao Ji's eyes lit up.

"Judging from the background behind him, he should be a junior from the class of 07."

"However, isn't building a fan club for him a bit too much?"

Keep in mind that even the senior students in the 04 acting class didn't have fan clubs yet.

She moved the mouse and scrolled down the page.

To her surprise, the post received more than a dozen replies in a very short time.

Taoyao Guoguo: "Holy crap, is this the junior who came this year? He's so handsome, I'm totally sold! Add me to the fan club!"

Star Rain QAQ: "Chan-shin!!! Our drama department's god!"

Happy Little Grass 2: "Wow! Drama major? Shouldn't he be in the acting major?"

Qingfeng remained silent: "That's right, he's from the drama department. What a waste of such a great face and superb singing skills."

Eat More Chicken Legs: "Shen Can's rendition of 'The Brightest Star in the Night Sky' is absolutely amazing. I checked online, and this song has never been released before; it's definitely an original! He's incredible. I wonder when he'll release a song."

The troublemaker: "Maybe one of our students will become a pop star!"

! ! ! !

Zhao Ji suddenly stopped moving the mouse, his big eyes fixed on the words "the brightest star in the night sky".

"This song..."

In an instant, her thoughts returned to ten days ago. With nothing to do, she was browsing the Tianya [Entertainment Gossip] section. That morning, she saw a post about gossip about Hong Kong stars.

I clicked in just to watch the drama unfold, but I found out that the poster was a shameless clickbaiter who didn't actually reveal anything; the post was just a way to discredit his own novel.

However, having already entered the book, Zhao Ji patiently finished reading it.

Surprisingly, the novel was actually quite well-written.

In order to keep up with the updates, she replied to the post with "Update quickly, I can't sleep at night".

The song featured in that novel is "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky".

What made it so memorable was that when she was reading the novel, she specifically searched for the song across the entire internet, but couldn't find it anywhere.

"Is it a coincidence? Or is he really that shameless and despicable novelist?"

Zhao Ji scrolled through the page, returning to the top of the post on the forum, and stared at Shen Can.

Just then, Hailu walked into the dormitory and glanced at Zhao Ji's laptop screen.

"Oh my, handsome guy, you're good." She said "good" in Henan dialect.

Upon hearing the words "handsome guy," Li Jinming, forgetting all about fiddling with his new bracelet, rushed over.

"Handsome guy? Where? Where?"

"Wow...so cool!"

……

Chen Chichi rushed into dormitory room 601, a male dormitory.

"Hey guys, big news! The department head's come to the dorm."

Zheng Kai was busy playing games and casually asked, "Which department head?"

"Who else could it be? Our acting professor, Mr. Long." Chen Chichi continued excitedly:

"It seems like he's here to poach our talent."

"Poaching people?" Du Jiang stopped typing and turned to look at Chen Chichi in surprise.

Zheng Kai also turned his head.

"Yes, it's in room 609. It seems like a prodigy came to the Dramatic Literature Department this year. Teacher Long and Teacher Xu Ning from the Musical Theatre Department are about to fight."

"Holy crap, let's go check it out." Zhang Dianlun, the last roommate in the dormitory, pulled up his pants and rushed out of the toilet.

Du Jiang, Zheng Kai, Chen Chichi, and others quickly followed.

When the group arrived at the door of dormitory 609, they saw that some students had already gathered there.

Stretching my neck to look into room 609, I saw Teacher Long and Teacher Xu arguing.

"This kid is one of those people who are born to be stars. He has the potential to become the next Huang Xiaoming. He should switch to the drama and film performance major." Teacher Long glared.

"Huang Xiaoming?? I could say he could become Jay Chou. With his top-notch musical talent, if he's nurtured, his future achievements in the music field will definitely be impressive. He should switch to musical theatre." Xu Ning retorted.

"No, are you the boss, or am I the boss?"

"Leader, please give me a promising talent. The Shanghai Theatre Academy has produced enough star actors, we don't need another one, but there are very few singers. Hu Ge and Han Xue are both actors who crossed over to singing. The musical theatre major needs to produce a singer who can become a role model for the younger students in the future."

"This..." Teacher Long hesitated, frowning as he thought.

Shen Can raised his hand, forcing a smile, and said, "Teachers, shouldn't you ask for my opinion?"

"Um?"

Teacher Long and Xu Ning both looked at Shen Can.

In the corridor outside the dormitory, Wang Teng and Ke Qingchuan, carrying large bags of food and beer, were stunned to see a group of people gathered outside the dormitory. They exclaimed in unison:

"What's going on?"
