New Century Anime Warrior

"So what are your thoughts?"

While taking pictures of the "architectural drawings" her son had made with his own hands, Ms. Tang couldn't help but ask a question with a forced smile.

Judging by this, he's probably going to post it on social media and brag about it...

By the way, did WeChat even exist in this strange year of 2005?

At the same time, Si Hua was absolutely certain that his mother would think that the drawings she made were the so-called architectural blueprints.

There's no way around it. The older generation generally has limited education and didn't grow up in the information-exploding internet age. Their understanding and beliefs are often rooted in the most rural and simple details of production and life.

The terms "panoramic illustration" or "scene concept art" do not exist in their daily lives.

But that didn't stop Tang Huijuan from being attracted to the paintings that were full of imagination, dense with information, and with lines as neat as precision instruments.

In her understanding, this is what construction companies often refer to as design drawings...

After all, most of the people who come to the shop to pick up wine are construction workers, and the bird's-eye view or aerial view they show off is nothing special.

How can I subtly let my old girlfriends see my son's painting while we're square dancing tonight?

That's really well drawn.

Hey hey hey.

"I have some ideas about this."

Si Hua scratched his head and voiced his worry, "But I'm afraid my dad will treat me to stir-fried pork..."

Upon hearing this, Ms. Tang couldn't help but roll her eyes slightly.

It seems this kid's ideas are a bit "unorthodox," and that old-fashioned father of mine will probably lament his unfilial son again before bed.

"Go ahead and say it. If it makes sense, I don't mind being your mom as a shield this time."

"Hehe, Mom is still the wisest and most powerful." Si Hua skillfully offered her son high praise.

"My plan is to take the art exam route, or apply for a major that requires an art exam, since my grades aren't ideal..."

Ahua's results were not ideal.

This isn't a joke. Based on his past life experience, Si Hua's final exam scores in his second year of high school were among the bottom 50 in the entire grade, not even close to the cutoff score for a vocational college.

In a provincial key high school like No. 1 High School, Si Hua was no less a black sheep or a rat in the porridge.

Si's father sighed more than once before going to bed, regretting that he shouldn't have asked someone to get this unfilial son into the city's No. 1 High School; it was too embarrassing.

But if he doesn't use connections, Si's father will regret it even more.

Because the unfilial son's middle school entrance exam results were quite impressive, he only scored 48 points in Chinese, just 8 points short of the admission line for the No. 1 Middle School in the city.

Because of his perfect score in math and near-perfect scores in physics and chemistry in the high school entrance exam, Si Hua was practically elevated to the level of a top student who excels in only one subject.

But who knows why their son's grades plummeted after entering high school, with each exam result exceeding the elderly couple's expectations...

"Moreover, relying solely on the art exam may not be enough. You may also need to achieve some outstanding results at the social level, and it would be best to create a wave of public opinion on the selection of special talents, and then try your best to secure a guaranteed admission."

Si Hua revealed his true intentions, showing his true intentions.

This was not unfounded. In 2005, during the early stages of university expansion and when the independent admission system was still being explored, some well-known universities came up with many strange and unusual special admission programs.

The premise is that the higher education process in 2005 is consistent with my previous life...

Time was of the essence, and Si Hua hadn't had time to check this information yet.

Tang Huijuan immediately understood her son's thoughts. After all, her son would be taking the college entrance examination next year, and she had discussed the future of her children with her close friends quite a bit, so she knew a little about the situation.

What surprised her even more was her son's tone of voice. Look at that, mentioning outstanding achievements at the social level and the public outcry he'd stirred up. His sophisticated and polite way of speaking suggests he'd been eavesdropping on his father's phone calls quite a bit.

However, Tang Huijuan didn't think much of it. After all, in her eyes, her son was the most outstanding. Even with his current grades, he really couldn't even get into a vocational college...

"By the way, I understand art exams, but what does it mean for a major with an additional art exam?" Ms. Tang was hearing this concept for the first time.

"These are majors that require applicants to have a certain level of artistic skill, such as architecture..."

"That's great! Your dad will definitely support you!"

Before her son could finish speaking, Si's mother immediately made the decision to let him take the exam for architect, which sounded prestigious.

"..."

Si Hua looked at his mother with a black line on his face, and had to interrupt her delusions.

"The problem is, my grades aren't good enough for the entrance exams... The top schools for architecture are either Tsinghua, Peking University, or Jinan University. Am I supposed to risk my life to get in?"

"Oh? Is that so? Tsinghua, Peking University, Jinan University, and Dan University are indeed not places you can dream of..." Upon hearing that it was one of these prestigious universities, Si's mother instantly calmed down.

She is his biological mother, and her understanding of her son is very accurate.

"That's why I said we need to achieve some social results first."

"Look at the coming year, and see how the country and those famous universities come up with some special admission programs that few people know about or that few people are qualified to apply for."

"These paths, besides requiring personal ability, also depend on the level of public attention, such as the New Concept Writing Competition a few years ago!"

At this point, Si Hua couldn't help but slam his hand on the table.

"In short, the first thing is to become famous, really famous! Only then will you have the confidence to challenge for guaranteed admission through special channels!"

It's burning up!

Si Hua felt he had never been so passionate and enthusiastic...

"Does failing to get into a vocational college from a provincial key university mean you're not considered famous?"

"???"

"Even the city leaders know that your dad has a son who studied at a top provincial university but couldn't even get into a vocational college... Isn't that famous enough?"

"!!!"

Has my mom always been this aggressive?

Wait, how come even the city leaders know I got into the provincial key high school? Looks like my dad bragged about it a lot at the dinner table after the high school entrance exam...

So you really shouldn't open champagne halfway through a game. Dad must be regretting his ostentatious behavior back then.

"Tell me, is my idea reasonable or not?!"

Si Hua quickly steered the conversation back on track.

Ms. Tang hesitated for a moment, "That makes sense, but is your skill level really up to the level of winning an award in the New Concept Painting Competition?"

Good grief, so Mom only understands the New Concept Writing Competition?

Si Hua understood what Tang Huijuan meant by the New Concept Painting Competition.

My first question is whether there is a platform that can make my son famous for his skill, similar to the New Concept Writing Competition.

Secondly, I want to know if my son's skill level is high enough to make him famous nationwide.

Regarding the second point, Ahua dares not underestimate the heroes of the world... After all, which one who dares to take the artistic route doesn't have some childhood training?

Okay, it's true that many academically weak students want to take a shortcut through art exams, and every year there are quite a few cannon fodder who cram at the last minute.

But having ability and having fame are two different things. Don't you see that many "masters" are being criticized by the public for their skill level being worse than that of elementary school students?

The "masters" will, in turn, use their seniority, fame, and influence to angrily criticize the current generation of people for being incompetent and not understanding art.

This event was recorded even twenty years later.

"In short, even without the so-called New Concept Painting Competition, aren't there any other options?!"

"Where there's a will, there's a way; when you're in the toilet, you'll need to poop!"

"In short, you should become famous as early as possible!"

"So, who agrees and who disagrees?"
