Huayu: I'm reborn, but you still force me to be a scumbag?

Chapter 42 Liu Zhaohong

"In 2005, the number of applicants for the Film Academy's acting department exceeded 6000 for the first time. Three-quarters of them were eliminated in the initial interview, and only about 3 entered the re-examination, which was very fierce. However, this was just the beginning. After the re-examination, there was another three-examination. In the end, only 4 people were admitted to the undergraduate class, and the overall recruitment ratio reached 1500:30."

The news broadcast from TV brought a smile to Liu Zhaohong's lips. The number of applicants reached new highs, which was naturally inseparable from his work performance as the deputy director of the Admissions Office. At this time every year, he would watch the 6 o'clock news on Beijing TV on time, just like a summary report of his annual work.

"Our reporters have also come to the Beijing Film Academy's admissions site. Let's take a look at their on-site reports."

Then the TV screen switched to a female reporter standing at the entrance of the Film Academy, holding a microphone and saying: "We are now at the Film Academy's preliminary examination site, and we can see that the site is crowded with people. We will interview some students who come to take the exam and ask them why they applied to the Film Academy."

Liu Zhaohong took a bite of food and a sip of wine. His wife frowned in dissatisfaction and said, "Drink less. That's enough for today."

"I know, I know. It's rare. I'm happy."

"We are all going to retire, why should we be so happy?"

"I have worked in the film school all my life, and I am happy to see it grow every year."

I was chatting with my wife while the news on TV continued.

The female host took the microphone and began to interview students at the door. The couple who appeared on the screen made Liu Zhaohong nod silently. The quality of this year's freshmen should be better than last year. He felt that recruiting students was like farming. Whether the harvest was good or not depended on the weather. There was no way to predict it. After the class of 96, the Beijing Film Academy had been sluggish for many years. Only Liu Tianxian from the class of 02 seemed to be able to achieve something. The others did not seem to be able to achieve great things. I hope the class of 05 will be better.

"May I ask what your names are?"

"Yang Mi."

"Wang Xiang."

"May I ask why you want to apply to film school?"

"Because I have loved acting since I was a child, I love performing. The profession of actor is my ideal. I want to enter the film academy and become an excellent performing arts worker in the future."

Liu Zhaohong smiled.

This young man has ideals, is good at speaking, is generous, and has a recognizable appearance. Yang Mi. Although Liu Zhaohong is not young, he has always had a good memory and silently memorized this name.

Reporter's voiceover: "But during the interview, we also found that some candidates only chose the Film Academy as their second choice because of their poor academic performance."

"What about this classmate? Why did you come to apply for the film school?"

“I want to go to college.”

Liu Zhaohong frowned all of a sudden. What kind of words are these?

"Can you explain it?"

"What's there to explain?" "You mean, film school doesn't mean anything special to you?"

"No."

The screen then cuts to a panoramic view of the Beijing Film Academy gate, and a voice-over begins:

"The uneven quality of candidates is a common problem in Beijing Film Academy's enrollment in recent years. How to find young people who truly love the film industry among these candidates and ensure the continuous inheritance of outstanding filmmakers from generation to generation should be the top priority of Beijing Film Academy's enrollment work. Beijing-Taiwan reporter Yan Yan reported on the scene."

The screen returns to the studio and begins broadcasting the next news segment.

Liu Zhaohong drank the half glass of white wine in one gulp.

Having worked at the Film Academy for nearly 78 years, the Film Academy is his root. Building the Beijing Film Academy into the top film and television professional school in China has been his goal for many years. Starting from Class 96, he saw the dawn of hope. After many years, he met Class . Liu Zhaohong spent a lot of effort, step by step, and it seemed that the dream goal was within sight.

So what did the film school become in this kid's mouth?
Is this a candidate? Can this be a candidate? This is the second uncle who appeared out of nowhere!
What do the leaders think after seeing it? What do the people think after seeing it? What do the people at the Central Academy of Drama and the Shanghai Theatre Academy think after seeing it?
If such people are really allowed to enroll, what will happen? Then the film school will really become a backup for those students who failed the entrance exam! ?

Is there any reason for this?

Liu Zhaohong paced around in the living room of his home with his hands behind his back. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He picked up his cell phone and dialed a few numbers, but ultimately hesitated and did not make the call.

Forget it. Even if a student like this passed the initial test with his appearance, he would not be able to pass the next test. There was no need to make a fuss about it. Besides, it was just an exaggerated interview to attract attention. To put it bluntly, we didn't even know if this boy was hired by the reporter. It was too childish to make a fuss about it.

In the following days, the enrollment work of Beijing Film Academy was in full swing, and Liu Zhaohong's workload was extremely heavy, so he put this matter behind him.

Time flies in the busy schedule. After the first test comes the second test. The original 1500 candidates who remained in the first test were eliminated again in large numbers in the second test, and only 386 students entered the third test. Of these 386, only about 100 will remain after the third test. After the final physical examination and cultural examination results come out, the best will be selected and 30 will be admitted.

It is no exaggeration to say that applying to film academy is like a huge crowd trying to cross a single-plank bridge.

The number of examiners for the third test was different from the first two, increasing from 5 to 20. There were three rows of examiners in the examination room. In addition to the chief examiner and teachers of various majors sitting in the first row, other leaders in charge of admissions also sat in the second and third rows. Although they did not participate in scoring, they also had the right to express their opinions in the final admission stage.

As the deputy director of the admissions office, Liu Zhaohong sat in the second row, slightly to the left of the center, on the first day of the third audition for the acting department. He had also thought about whether he would be able to sit in the middle one day, but as time passed, he crossed the threshold of 58 and no longer had any extravagant hopes.

"Old Liu, thank you for your hard work." Zheng Zhongjian, who was sitting in the middle, was probably in his 40s and was in his prime. He said to Liu Zhaohong with encouragement, "I heard from Professor Li of the Performance Department that the quality of students in the Performance Department is good this year. Old Liu, you have made an indelible contribution."

Liu Zhaohong smiled and said, "Thank you, President Zheng, for your praise. The little achievements our Admissions Office has made are all the result of the joint efforts of our comrades under your leadership."

Zheng Zhongjian is the vice president of the Film Academy and the director of the admissions office, but he usually does not intervene in the specific admissions work, but only makes a plan. The specific matters are arranged by Liu Zhaohong and several other vice presidents. At the same time, Zheng Zhongjian is also the biggest leader on the scene. Even the dean of the School of Performing Arts, Zhang Tianyou, can only sit on his left. At this time, after hearing what Liu Zhaohong said, Zhang Tianyou interrupted and said, "President Zheng is right. Vice President Liu has made great contributions. It can be said that without Vice President Liu, our Film Academy would not be as prosperous as it is today."

Haha, Zhang Gou, you are trying to fool me again. Liu Zhaohong sneered in his heart.
