I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 10 Random Character Experience Card

Ding!
[Task]: Try to eliminate the gap between my parents and myself after not seeing each other for so many years. (Completed)
[Congratulations to the host, you have received a reward - a random character experience card! ]

[Random Role Experience Card]: You can experience a random role in a film or TV show while sleeping. You are him and he is you, without any distinction between you and me.

……

As soon as he returned home, Chen Jin received a reminder that the system task was completed.

Looking at the reward that suddenly popped up, Chen Jin really wanted to go upstairs to sleep and have a good experience.

But in an instant, he suppressed the impulse in his heart.

This card is obviously used to enhance performance.

Good steel should be used on the blade.

When it is really needed, its value may be higher. Anyway, Chen Jin has a lot to learn now and doesn't care about this experience card or when to use it.

He can hold it in.

【New Mission】

[The knot with your parents has been resolved. They also agree that you can continue your acting career, but your previous roles are not good enough! ]

【Task】: Try to audition for an important role.

"What's the matter?"

"Audition?"

I didn’t even pass the art exam, where can I go for an audition?

Chen Jin had somehow managed to complete the previous few tasks, just like at the beginning, he thought they were very simple.

But during the last mission, when he was trying to untie the knot in his heart, he felt something was wrong.

The difficulty increases infinitely!
But in the end, I completed it by accident, which was a bit of a stroke of luck.

The nature is different, but the result is the same.

But now, audition?

Not to mention that he doesn't have the channels for the audition right now, he doesn't even know what it's like. The key point is that the task says that he has to audition for an important role?
What is considered important?

The male lead or the second male lead?
So does the domineering male protagonist in a skit count?

But there aren’t any short plays nowadays!
In this future autobiographical movie, even the 38-year-old him hasn’t experienced this stage, so it’s enough for me to be 18 years old?

"System, this is too deceptive!"

"The mission is a bit difficult!"

Chen Jin felt that he was definitely in a dead end, unless he passed the art exam and entered the Beijing Film Academy or the Central Academy of Drama, then he might have such an opportunity.

Otherwise, it would not be enough to rely on him alone now.

This task is difficult to accomplish.

“So, I still have to take the art exam!”

Chen Jin gritted his teeth and glanced at the virtual interface in front of him, where several of his actor's attributes were all lit up.

[Line skills]: Proficient (23/100)

【Body skills】: Beginner (3/10)

[Vocal skills]: Getting started (2/10)

【Performance Skills】: Beginner (1/10)

……

"In the next 10 days or so, I have to master the other three items!"

While Chen Jin was thinking about it, he picked up an English textbook and started reading aloud.

Time passed unknowingly and it was already the early morning of the 23rd.

There are still two days until the 2 Capital Film Academy's annual acting department exam. Chen Jin and Su Wanyu are packing their luggage as they will be taking an early morning train to the capital.

During these ten days, Su Wanyu has indeed come to look at her son with new eyes.

Even though they had to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year, Chen Jin did not forget her daily training.

In Su Wanyu's opinion, her son has really grown up and he really wants to make a good effort in the art exam.

For this reason, Su Wanyu even went to inquire about it. But after inquiring, she had no confidence at all that Chen Jin could pass the preliminary examination of Beijing Film Academy or the Central Academy of Drama.

Not to mention that every year there are a huge number of students taking the entrance exams for these two art schools, setting new records every year, even the pass rate, especially for the performing arts department, is less than 1%.

Last year, the number of applicants for the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama was 6120, and the final number of admissions was... 50!

120: 1!

That means only one person is admitted out of 120. The competition is incredibly fierce, even harder than taking the civil service exam.

Of course, Beijing Film Academy is similar, slightly better than the Central Academy of Drama. After all, the Central Academy of Drama is the top name in the acting department in China.

The Central Academy of Drama, Beijing Film Academy and Shanghai Theatre Academy are also known as the three major academies of acting departments. They are the first choice for all students who love acting in the country, and of course they have the largest number of applicants.

Desperate.

Su Wanyu no longer thinks about whether Chen Jin can pass the exam. She just thinks of it as taking her son to fulfill his dream.

As long as he comes back and studies hard and takes the college entrance examination, that will be enough.

Anyway, he has already written the letter of guarantee.

In fact, Chen Jin has been very serious these days. In addition to completing his daily duties as an actor and taking time to learn acting in front of the mirror, he also attends the English tutoring that Su Wanyu hired for him every day.

In short, the main point is - be obedient and well-behaved!
In the eyes of Su Wanyu and Chen Xianqi, it is a transformation from the inside out.

My son finally knows who he is studying for.

Correspondingly, after more than ten days of persistence and training, Chen Jin's acting skills have improved significantly.

The task of [accompanying parents] was completed after a week.

The reward is +10 to your dialogue skills!

Therefore, he has now reached the mastery level in all four dimensions of voice, stage and performance.

[Delivery skills]: Proficient (62/100), mastery of voice and intonation, clear lines, and rhythm.

[Physical skills]: Proficient (25/100), walking, posture, good body flexibility and body language.

[Vocal skills]: Proficient (21/100), basic vocal theory, sight-singing, ear training, listening, imitation, breath, true and false voice conversion, and strength control.

[Acting skills]: Proficient (17/100), immersion in the characters, imitation, and precise interpretation.

……

This is Chen Jin’s current strength, which is completely incomparable to the novice who has only been there for more than ten days.

He has performed many performances in front of the mirror these days, such as Xiao Ma Ge lighting a cigarette, Ge You lying down, Uncle Da crying and laughing at the same time... He performed them all very well.

Although there are still some flaws, at least it can be performed and it doesn't look as exaggerated as those imitators on TV.

At least there is an element of performance in it.

Of course, this is what he thinks.

Chen Jin even had a strong feeling that his current acting skills should not be much different from those of some young actors.

Although he is not sure about his specific abilities, he is still confident that he can pass the art exam.

"Son, are you done packing?"

Su Wanyu was shouting downstairs, and Chen Jin hurriedly said, "Okay, come down right away!"

"Hurry up, it's better to wait early than late!"

"Know!"

Soon, Chen Jin packed his luggage and went downstairs.

Chen Xianqi had to go to work and was too busy to accompany Chen Jin to the art exam, so he drove them to Sucheng Railway Station.

目前最早的一班前往帝都的动车为D30，要10个多小时，早晨7点59分开，下午6点18分才到帝都南站。

Such a speed increase has made ordinary people very happy, but Chen Jin has seen that there may be high-speed rail in the future, and it will only take 4 hours to travel from Suzhou to the capital.

He couldn't even imagine this speed, it seemed like it would happen in a few years.

Therefore, Chen Jin was still skeptical about the system's future self-produced movies. How could it be possible to get from Sucheng to the imperial capital in 4 hours? !

After getting on the car, Chen Jin and his family of three drove towards the high-speed railway station.
