Chapter 41 Preliminary Test
The poem Chen Nuo prepared was "Farewell to Cambridge", which was chosen for him by a female professor named Li from the Performance Department of the Film Academy. What he wanted was to be fair and unbiased.

"Given your conditions, there is no need for you to stand out in the preliminary exam. You just need to avoid any accidents." said a professor named Li.

When Chen Nuo recited "A Farewell to Cambridge" according to the techniques he learned in the dialogue class, Li Er had a blank expression on his face, as if he was hearing him recite this poem for the first time. Before he finished reading this masterpiece, just at the end of the first paragraph, he interrupted him with a serious expression: "Okay, candidate number one, you stop here. Next one."

Chen Nuo then thanked the teachers again for their attentiveness, then stepped aside and sat with other candidates who had not yet taken the preliminary exam, waiting for the end of this exam before leaving together.

Chen Nuo didn't pay much attention to what happened in the examination room. He was wondering how Zhang Yiyi and the others were doing in Berlin.

Zhang Yiyi and Li Xiaotian have been in Germany for more than half a month, and there is no news at all. Chen Nuo sincerely hopes that this work can help Zhang Yiyi and his team recover their costs, and it would be best if they can make some money. Otherwise, it would be too tragic to make a movie and go bankrupt. But can they really get any awards? Chen Nuo is a little pessimistic. Because what do Zhang Yiyi and his team have? Connections, money, publicity... except for the film in hand, nothing.

Most likely it will pounce.

Chen Nuoting was worried that the two of them would jump into the Rhine River.

Chen Nuo wonders, why will China enter the era of traffic in the future? Could it be related to the fact that filmmakers like Zhang Yiyi have lost all their fortunes and died?
Those experimental, social, and groundbreaking art filmmakers are almost extinct. Twenty years later, there are still the same few directors making art films, and almost no newcomers. The rest are all commercial blockbuster producers who value traffic. Although there is nothing wrong with the survival of the fittest, isn't it too monotonous?

Chen Nuo didn't realize that his way of thinking was becoming more and more like that of a professional filmmaker.

He was lost in thought when someone whispered to him, "I don't think you have a chance."

Chen Nuo was startled for a moment and tilted his head slightly. It was Candidate No. 2 who was sitting next to him. This boy was very sweet, with long hair, big eyes, a fair face and no beard, and a pretty and delicate figure. Twenty years later, this type of person would be called a "fresh meat".

Chen Nuo didn't say anything. After glancing at him, he turned his head back.

Number Two showed a smug smile and continued to whisper, "When you were reading the poem, I saw that the examiner didn't even smile once."

Chen Nuo felt that this person was even more inexplicable.

Is it a good thing for Li Er to smile?
He had known Li Er for such a long time, but the only time he saw her smile happily seemed to be in Chen Kexin's office, when Mr. Liu confronted her head-on. She smiled happily at the time, but after coming down, she scolded the man.

Seeing that Chen Nuo didn't say anything, candidate number 2 felt even happier. The source of his hostility towards Chen Nuo was very simple and direct. Because according to the exam number, he was number 2 and Chen Nuo was number 1. He had always stood next to Chen Nuo, and then he found that the girls in his group of candidates all glanced at Chen Nuo intentionally or unintentionally, and no one looked at him, which made him very unhappy.

Number Two felt that he had to work harder and continue to attack the other party, so he added: "At that time, the dialogue teacher also shook his head."

She is not called the dialogue teacher. Her surname is Zhang, she is 28 years old, she graduated from graduate school not long ago, stayed on as a lecturer, and just broke up with her boyfriend. Her favorite snack is the old-fashioned seaweed Xiaobei outside the north gate. I went to buy her three times.

Number Two was getting more and more excited. "I think the physical education teacher is also dissatisfied with you. She was looking at your feet the whole time. Were you standing a little bit pigeon-toed just now?"

Teacher Gao was not looking at my feet, she was looking at my flat shoes. She bought me this pair of shoes during the training class, saying that the soles of this brand are soft and they won’t make your feet smell. Besides training, they are also good to wear on a daily basis. I gave her money at the time but she refused, so I ended up bringing her breakfast for almost a week. “You are definitely finished.” Number Two smiled proudly, “You actually dared to choose A Farewell to Cambridge, haha, it’s so hilarious, so old-fashioned. Do you know what I chose? Have you heard of Neruda? What you need to apply to the film academy is hard skills, don’t you understand?”

Chen Nuo nodded silently in his heart.

It does require hard power.

The examination process went very quickly, with number two buzzing in his ear the whole time, but it didn't take long before all 20 people in their group completed the initial test.

The male examiner was standing by and asked them to line up and leave.

At this time, a male teacher who had been standing behind the camera came out and suddenly said, "Candidate number two, please stay for a moment."

Number Two stopped and looked at the other person's serious face, and was stunned for a moment: "Teacher, what's wrong?"

The male teacher said, "I have been watching you for almost 30 minutes, and you have been talking almost the entire time. Don't you know that whispering is prohibited in our examination room? Don't you know that your talking will affect other people's exams? Didn't the examination administrator tell you in advance when he brought you in? I also noticed that candidate number one next to you didn't respond to you once. Why can others abide by the rules, but you can't? According to Article , Section of the Film Academy Admissions Manual, as the discipline supervisor of this examination room, I am now officially notifying you that your test score has been cancelled."

Number Two was completely dumbfounded, and stammered, "Teacher, I didn't mean it, I really don't know, can you give me another chance?"

The male teacher said calmly, "Okay. Maybe next year."

When Chen Nuo walked out of the examination room, he saw Yang Mi was already waiting for him outside. Before they separated, they had agreed that whoever finished the exam first would wait for the other and go home together.

Chen Nuo saw Yang Mi standing there with a smile on her face and knew that she had done well in the exam.

Yang Mi saw him coming and was about to say something, but suddenly looked behind Chen Nuo and asked in surprise: "Hey, is there anyone crying in your examination room? Did I hear it wrong?"

Chen Nuo turned his head and took a look, then said nonchalantly: "Yes, I heard it right. Someone was talking during the exam and it seems that the teacher disqualified him from the exam."

Yang Mi was shocked and exclaimed, "Is this true? There are people like this? Is there something wrong with his brain? Doesn't he know he can't talk? Why didn't anyone remind him?"

Chen Nuo said: "I reminded him. I gave him a look at the time, but he didn't take it seriously. Maybe he was too confident in his own strength. By the way, how did you do in the exam?"

Yang Mi chuckled and said, "I think it's pretty good. Never mind, let's go and eat."
