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

Chapter 127 Are there any changes in school selection?

In the evening, at Zhu Yanmanzi's house.

"Xiao Chen, eat!"

Yan Ning picked up some food for her and said, "Don't be polite, just treat it like your own home!"

"Thank you, aunt!"

Chen Jin was not restrained at all, but Zhu Yanmanzi next to her was laughing secretly and doing some little actions under the table from time to time.

Her mother rolled her eyes at her.

Zhu's father also looked very kind. I don't know if it was because he knew Chen Jin's college entrance examination results, or for some other reason; but there was an indescribable sense of vigilance in the way he looked at Chen Jin.

Although he supports his daughter's entry into the entertainment industry, his attitude has always been quite strict.

The person in charge of the execution is of course Yan Ning, a full-time housewife.

"Has Xiao Chen not chosen a school yet?"

Father Zhu drank a little wine and asked gently.

Chen Jin shook his head: "Not yet, the score is too high, I'm afraid of the impact of public opinion!"

Things like signing a private contract with Nortel are definitely not something that can be told about.

"Yeah, that's right!"

"But if you go to Peking University or Tsinghua University, your career as an actor will be over!"

"The National Academy of Drama and Beijing Film Academy will definitely face certain pressure from public opinion!"

"What about Peking University School of Arts? Have you considered it?"

Zhu's father is in the literary and artistic circle, so he is of course familiar with some of the art majors in these universities. Among the several professional colleges and universities in China that offer programs in film and television, Beijing Art Institute should be the one with the strongest reputation.

Chen Jin had heard of this school. Its film and television major was focused on theory.

It is indeed a formal secondary college of Peking University. Its predecessor was the Art Department of Peking University. It is very good in music and painting. People like Xu Beihong, Liu Tianhua, etc. are all well-known alumni of this department.

But the Film and Television Department... Chen Jin had indeed never heard of it.

But Beijing Film Academy has actually always cooperated with the Department of Drama, Film and Television of Peking University School of the Arts, and students can even attend classes at Beijing Film Academy.

Moreover, many students and masters choose the directing or management department of Beijing Film Academy.

The Chinese Academy of Drama also has cooperation with this academy.

Many students from the Central Academy of Drama have outstanding performance during their school years and can directly enter the graduate program of Peking University School of Arts, such as Zhang Luyi who played Wang Miao in "The Three-Body Problem"!
"no!"

Chen Jin couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, does this school also have an acting major?"

"No, it's all theoretical. It seems we have a cooperative project with Nortel!"

"The Central Academy of Drama also has it, and you can directly enter the acting department!"

Father Zhu was talking to Chen Jin, and suddenly smiled and said, "Do you want me to ask for you? It just so happens that I know the director of the research institute over there, Mr. Lin Zhaohua!"

Peking University Institute of Drama!

An institution established by the School of Arts of Peking University to study film, television and drama.

It was such a great honor to be invited that Chen Jin didn't know how to refuse.

This future father-in-law is indeed too enthusiastic.

"Eat your food!"

"I've never seen you care so much about my daughter's affairs!"

Noticing the slight embarrassment on Chen Jin's face, Yan Ning quickly spoke to her husband.

Father Zhu said with a smile: "Didn't Xiao Chen help our daughter in the past? Teacher Lin Zhaohua was the vice president of the People's Art Theatre and a very famous drama director!"

"Uncle, I'll go back and discuss this with my parents!"

Chen Jin said it somewhat tactfully.

"Okay, call me if you need anything!"

"The Beijing Institute of Art should be very welcoming to you. They lack fame now, unlike the Central Academy of Drama and Beijing Film Academy, which are well-known!"

"Peking University...shouldn't need this?"

Could Peking University’s School of Arts still lack fame?
"It's different. Beijing Film Academy is very famous for music and painting, but the film and television major has only been established in recent years. It seems that they will set up a drama and film center with Beijing Film Academy next year, and the Central Academy of Drama will also be involved!"

Once the conversation started, Zhu's father talked a little more.

"I have asked for my son Zizi before. Although he does not have any professional acting courses, many of his teachers are actors from the People's Art Theatre!"

"Do you know Pu Cunxin?"

Chen Jin must know this, Sun Ce in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but he is better at acting in drama.

He is now the vice president of the People's Art Theatre.

But when he was young, he was scolded by Yu Shizhi, the then vice president of the People's Art Theater and the mainstay of the theater, who said that he was just born with a good appearance.

But given his appearance, his acting skills are already among the best in the country.

"He is one of the teachers, along with Meng Jinhui, Yi Liming, Liang Guanhua..."

Among these Chen Jins, only Liang Guanhua is known.

The one possessed by Di Renjie.

As for Meng Jinhui, he seems to be a drama director.

"You can check it out when you get back. The admission score is quite high. My son Zizi might not be able to pass the exam, so he chose the art exam candidate channel!"

"..."

Zhu Yanmanzi gave her father a killing look.

"hehe!"

Zhu's father smiled and quickly said in a flattering tone, "You said the wrong thing. It's the art exam students who have always wanted to leave!"

Dad, you'd better not say that.

"Okay, uncle, I'll find out when the time comes!"

I was actually a little moved by my future father-in-law.

But Chen Jin definitely has no say on this matter. Beijing Film Academy has already agreed to it, and it is impossible to change it.

Can't go to two universities?

Joint training?
Chen Jin felt that he was not that confident, even if he was the top scorer in the college entrance examination, and he chose science.

Do art colleges generally only recruit liberal arts majors?

Chen Jin didn't think much about it. After chatting with Zhu's father for a while, his cell phone suddenly rang.

"Uncle and aunt, I'm going to answer a phone call!"

"go Go!"

Zhu Yanmanzi was talking, and Yan Ning almost took action. At home, little Zhu seemed quite lively, completely different from outside.

Chen Jin walked to the balcony and answered the call from her agent.

"Sister Pu Lun!"

"Xiao Jin, where are you? Not in the rental house?"

"I'm at Xiao Zhu's house!"

Pu Lun: “…”

"Sister Pu Lun, don't think too much. It was her mother who invited me to dinner to thank me!"

"You scared me, I thought you two were doing something!"

Pu Lun was really frightened. She now had two artists under her management. If these two artists were in love and she, as their agent, didn't know about it, it would be a dereliction of duty for her.

If you are photographed by paparazzi, it will be too late for public relations.

"Then when will you come back?"

"It's around 9 o'clock. Is there anything? If there is, I'll be back right away!"

"Something's going on. It's very important!"

"Okay!" Chen Jin hung up the phone and had to apologize to Zhu Yanmanzi's family: "Uncle and aunt, I have something to do here, I have to leave first!"

"what?"

The first person to speak was obviously Zhu Yanmanzi. Yan Ning was really embarrassed.

You're being too obvious!
"It's not too late to leave after dinner, right?"

"No, no, I'm almost done. Auntie's cooking is delicious!"

“Then come and eat often!”

Yan Ning was smiling, and Zhu's father waved to Chen Jin. Zhu Yanmanzi said quickly, "Then... then Mom and Dad, I'll see Chen Jin off!"

"Go!"

Yan Ning had no idea that the two were in love. She just thought that her daughter was reluctant to leave, so she went downstairs to see him off.

As soon as he walked out of the door, Zhu Yanmanzi said with a look of resentment: "I thought we could play together after dinner!"

"play what?"

Chen Jin laughed and said, "Under your parents' noses, I'm afraid I'll be chopped off if I hold your hand!"

"That's not the case, is my dad okay?"

"How nice I was to you just now. I've never enjoyed such treatment!"

When the two of them entered the elevator, they naturally held hands.

Zhu Yanmanzi leaned on Chen Jin's shoulder and said faintly, "You are becoming more and more famous now. I shouldn't have listened to you in the beginning. Why choose the Central Academy of Drama? Can I change it now?"

Anyway, the application will not be submitted until a few days later.

"You're not listening anymore, are you?"

Chen Jin patted her buttocks twice. Zhu Yanmanzi twisted her body and said, "I will get further and further away from you like this!"

She was just worried.

God knows how famous Chen Jin will be after one year at the Central Academy of Drama. By then, I will be even less worthy of him.

If you choose Beijing Film Academy, at least you can go out and film.

Chen Jin understood what the girl was worried about. She was simply afraid that if she became famous, the gap between them would be too big.

But Chen Jin asked her to take the entrance exam for the Central Academy of Drama for her long-term benefit.

"Are you so unsure of yourself?"

"I have no confidence in you!"

Chen Jin: “…”

Talk nonsense.

"Haha, just kidding, let's go!"

Zhu Yanmanzi took Chen Jin's arm, and the two walked out of the community.

"Xiao Zhu!"

Chen Jin suddenly shouted at the door.

"Ok?"

"How long have we been talking?"

"Two months? Or... less than three months?"

Zhu Yanmanzi can't remember clearly.

"Should be, 4 months!"

"???"

“We didn’t even know each other during the art exam!”

"Psychologically speaking, a good impression of a person can only last for four months at most!"

Dr. Chen was online again at this time.

"and then?"

Zhu Yanmanzi understood a little bit. This guy had a crush on me when he was not preparing for the art exam, right?

But at that time, I seemed to have a good impression of him.

"If it exceeds that, it's love!"

Zhu Yanmanzi admitted that she was moved and hugged Chen Jin tightly.

"For a man, the most helpless thing is meeting the girl whom he wants to take care of for the rest of his life at the age when he is least capable!"

"Fortunately, I now have the ability and have encountered it!"

"Moreover, what many people pursue throughout their lives, they actually already have from the beginning..."

"understand?"

Chen Jin suddenly held up Zhu Yanmanzi's face. The little girl was already crying. She nodded desperately with tears in her eyes: "Yeah!"

“So, don’t worry!”

"You are the only one I love!"

"Because only now do I understand what love is. Maybe in a few years, I won't understand it anymore!"

"Me too!"

Zhu Yanmanzi kissed Chen Jin, and the two walked hand in hand for a while before Chen Jin took a taxi back to the rental house.

Looking at the departing taxi, Zhu Yanmanzi wiped the corners of his eyes and smiled slightly.

All the worries turned into relief after Chen Jin's few words just now.

You can say that an 18-year-old girl is easy to coax, but every word Chen Jin says is true.

***
Half an hour later, Chen Jin finally arrived at Zhang Yimou's studio.

Pang Liwei and Pu Lun are both here.

"A few things!"

Pang Liwei said straightforwardly: "These endorsements were carefully selected for you by Xiao Pu and I!"

"When the time comes, just come out and sign for the property Evergrande gave you, and take a photo together for publicity!"

"And the car that Volkswagen gave you, did you ask your parents to pick it up, or did you go by yourself? You don't have a driver's license, do you?"

"No, I don't have time to take the test!"

The car that Volkswagen gave away was the Lavida, and it was also an advertisement.

Audi also uses celebrity cars for promotion, so Chen Jin has no shortage of cars now.

Lack of driver and assistant!

But the studio should give him one.

Although Chen Jin has not produced any works yet, he is already famous. The whole internet has been discussing him these past two days, and the popularity is very high.

"What I'm going to say next is the key point!"

"In just over a month, The Hawthorn Tree will be released, and we must start making our promotional pages!"

"There's a Weibo post that's been trending online lately. Sina just called me today and said they'll work with me on the promotion. If you register and tell me, they'll certify you as the top scorer in the college entrance exam, as well as the title of actor!"

“It will definitely be useful for our subsequent film promotion!”

Weibo?

Chen Jin actually wanted to register for a long time.

In future autobiographical movies, this product seems to be very popular in the next few years, but it has been turned into a cesspool after 2018.

But it is indeed very useful for the promotion of movies.

"Okay, I'll sign up when I get back!"

"Sister Wei, is there anything else?"
