A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 218 Sudden News

Chen Jinnian stood side by side in the middle of the stage, his eyes gradually becoming deep and sharp. He made a fist with his right hand and a palm with his left hand, clasped his fists in front of his chest, and gave the examiners a solemn martial arts salute.

Just this one action seemed to form an invisible force, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the audience to him.

With a crisp "Ha" sound, he suddenly jumped up like a cunning rabbit, and with the change of his footsteps he delivered a set of smooth and swift punches.

He struck up and down, and punched left and right. In just a short moment, he threw out seven or eight punches, and the shadows of the fists were swirling like fallen leaves swept by a strong wind, and their force was unstoppable.

Then he slowed down his moves, and he turned over and moved like a roc spreading its wings, looking for a fatal blow. Then he shook his body and punched out again. His moves were fast from the front three-quarters, pouring out like a storm, his arms opened and closed widely, coordinated with the heavy stomping of his feet, and a series of sounds were heard.

Several examiners were stunned. They had not seen such a professional martial arts routine performance for many years. Since martial arts dramas fell out of favor, few candidates chose to perform martial arts.

Even if there are some, most of them just imitate a few Tai Chi moves for show, and no one really puts in the effort in this area.

"Is this from the Shichahai Martial Arts School?"

"No way, I didn't mention that when I introduced myself just now." Several teachers whispered to each other.

In the last row of seats, a man in a black Mao suit was staring intently at Chen Jinnian who was performing on the stage.

This person is Yang Zhigang. He has been criticized a lot in recent years because of his connections and slow speaking. So after filming his brother's new play, he plans to take a break for a while and learn to calm down and see if there is any way to change and break through.

He returned to his alma mater this time, on the one hand because he received an invitation, and on the other hand to take the opportunity to talk to the teachers.

But unexpectedly, he found a person among the candidates who was somewhat similar to his roommate Yu Bo. In fact, many people don’t know that he is not only a classmate of Yu Bo, but also of the Backstabbing Master, Yao Dazui, Hong Shixian and others.

After Chen Jinnian finished his performance, he couldn't help but crouch down from behind and run to the second row to take a closer look.

After Chen Jinnian left, the examiners in the front row passed him without even discussing the matter. For a candidate with this kind of appearance, the acceptance could actually be confirmed after he or she completed the self-introduction, and it didn't matter whether he or she had the recitation performance or talent show afterwards.

As long as it's not too outrageous, they will give it to you.

Beijing Film Academy values ​​looks and pays more attention to external conditions. This has long been a recognized fact in the circle and is even an unspoken rule within their school. Otherwise, why would the directors of Beijing Film Academy always look for actors from the Central Academy of Drama to act in their plays?

This is the same reason why a doctor would not choose to treat a seriously ill patient in his own hospital.

After finishing his performance, Chen Jinnian on the stage wiped the sweat from his forehead and went to rest on a row of stools on the left side of the stage. He had no muscle memory when boxing and relied purely on memory to imitate. In addition, his boxing moves were very vigorous, so he was very tired after finishing a set.

However, after he went down, the other candidates' hearts were lifted.

The most frightening thing about the school entrance examination is being assigned to the same group with someone like Chen Jinnian, because there is a huge gap between you and the others that is visibly visible. Under such a comparison, those who were originally doing well will be looked badly.

Perhaps it was for this reason that several candidates who took the exam later were not mentally stable and had problems to varying degrees.

Several candidates were stopped by the examiners midway. Although it was not stated explicitly, it actually meant that they were half out of the game.

Fang Yifan was ranked among the last few, and Chen Jinnian also took a special look at his performance. Overall, his self-introduction was a bit too casual, his recitation was not very good, and he didn't learn the intonation clearly, but his singing was really good. He was the best singer in their group.

Compared to the loud white voice three months ago, there is indeed a significant improvement.

"No wonder he was finally accepted into the musical theatre program. He does have some talent in this area, but I don't know how much he can realize in the future."

Chen Jinnian watched Fang Yifan bow and leave the stage, thinking silently in his heart, and at the same time he was a little curious, if Qiao Yingzi finally chose Beihang University, would Fang Yifan still go to Nanjing University of the Arts?

After the last candidate in this group finished their performance, they were taken out of the examination room.

As soon as they stepped out of the examination room, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Fang Yifan also hurried over and asked proudly, "Chen Jinnian, how was it? Didn't I do well?"

Chen Jinnian handed the number plate on his chest back to the senior from Beijing Film Academy, and then said, "It's indeed not bad. Your singing skills have improved a lot, but your self-introduction is too casual. I suggest you go home and improve the manuscript. Make it more formal and less verbose."

"Don't I look more energetic and younger this way? Otherwise, if I say the same thing as you, the examiner will definitely not remember me." Fang Yifan obviously had his own considerations.

"I'm just making a suggestion." Chen Jinnian shrugged without comment.

He just felt that it should be more formal. It would be better to score according to test points rather than according to mood. Although the Discipline Inspection Commission has moved into the examination room and the whole process is recorded and videotaped, it cannot guarantee fairness.

Personalized things will definitely face the situation where some people like them and some don’t. Although the upper limit of structured answers is low, the lower limit is also high.

Wang Yidi finished the exam earlier than the other two. When he and Fang Yifan walked out of the school gate, the other party was already standing by the roadside waiting for them.

"How did you do in the exam?" Wang Yidi asked quickly.

"is acceptable."

"very nice."

The first sentence was said by Chen Jinnian, and the second sentence was said by Fang Yifan.

Wang Yidi automatically ignored Fang Yifan's answer. After knowing each other for so many years, how could he not understand the other person's personality? When he was ranked last in the grade in the first semester exam of his senior year, Fang Yifan also said that he did well.

Chen Jinnian looked into the distance and saw Fang Yuan had also parked his car and rushed over, so he said, "You guys go back first. I have a written test for the director position later."

From now on, their exam times will not be together. Wang Yidi needs to prepare for the preliminary exams of five schools. He needs to complete the directing department of Beijing Film Academy, and he will have the preliminary exams for the acting departments of the Central Academy of Drama and Communication University of China tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

Fang Yifan has even more to do. He needs to take exams in all art colleges that have examination centers in Beijing. This is only in Beijing. If he were in other cities without examination centers, the travel expenses alone for applying to so many schools would be several thousand yuan.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Jinnian came out of Beijing Film Academy again. The written test for the directing department was not too difficult, with only one hundred multiple-choice questions. About 50 of the questions were from high school, and the rest were from film-related knowledge.

But after he came out and talked with a sophomore, he found out that it was not that simple. Today's enrollment was for film directing, and the difficulty of the exam was only part of the problem.

What’s even more annoying is the fourth exam that is extra compared to other majors. I wouldn’t say this exam is abnormal, but it really kills time.

Because this exam will last for three days!
