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

Chapter 131 It has to be Lao Mouzi again! The night of shining begins!
"The dust has settled! Jiangsu Province's top scorer in the college entrance examination, Chen Jin, was admitted to Beijing Film Academy and Peking University!"

"Joint statement! Peking University School of Arts and Beijing Film Academy jointly train top scorers in the college entrance examination!"

"Exclusive interview with Chen Jin, the top scorer in the college entrance examination: I have loved acting since I was a child, and this is my lifelong ambition!"

"Statistical analysis of the majors of the top scorers in the college entrance examinations in previous years!"

……

After Chen Jin filled out the application online and sent the paper application form to Suzhou No. 3 Middle School, both Beijing Film Academy and Peking University School of the Arts issued relevant statements.

The news broke out online at once, and Beijing Film Academy and Peking University School of the Arts even arranged an exclusive interview for Chen Jin, mainly to let him talk about his thoughts on choosing acting and his ambitions as a director.

Chen Jin's popularity has once again fermented on the Internet.

Even during the World Cup, discussions on Weibo, forums, and comment sections were heated.

Some people criticized the protagonist, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, for choosing acting, while others asked Chen Jin to choose the mathematics department. It is really a waste of talent to study acting with such talent.

Of course there are many supporters.

Let Chen Jin support his ideals and wishes. It is not shameful to perform. The difference between a performing artist and an actor is the difference between the top scorer in the college entrance examination and the art examination candidate.

"The majors chosen by the top scorers in the college entrance examination are mainly concentrated in the fields of business administration, economics, electronic information, and architecture!"

"Specifically, from 1980 to 2010, business administration had the largest number of top scorers, at 236, followed closely by economics, with 200 people choosing it!"

"In addition, there are many top scorers in majors such as electronic information, architecture, law, and biological sciences..."

Only the mathematics department has very few.

Even majors such as computer science, clinical medicine, and automation have more than just a few professional courses.

The reason is of course very simple. The top scorers in the college entrance examination are also human beings. Many parents only hope that their children can find a high-paying and stable job in the future, or start a business and achieve business success.

the scientist?
Unlike Mr. Qian, who is a gifted child with ambitions and ideals since childhood, most of the top scorers in the college entrance examination... are actually not much different from many geniuses from 985 universities.

Science is accidental. A high IQ can increase this randomness, but it does not increase inevitability.

When filling out their college application forms, many top scorers in the college entrance examination mostly choose the areas that interest them; and some, even if they are interested, may eventually compromise for the sake of money. Many top scorers go to universities in Hong Kong.

Because what was given... was really too much.

Su Wanyu also received an invitation from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. The scholarship was 100 million Hong Kong dollars, all tuition fees were waived, and she could also receive a high scholarship every year... Most people would not be able to refuse such good treatment.

In later generations, there was a very famous top scholar in Jiangsu Province, Bai Xiangling, who scored 430 points in the college entrance examination, but only had a B+ in history. He was rejected by Peking University and Tsinghua University, and finally went to the University of Hong Kong.

So Chen Jin chose Beijing Film Academy and Peking University School of the Arts, and most people on the Internet were just watching the news with a sense of spectatorship.

Those who truly wish you well and those who criticize you are only a minority.

On the contrary, Chen Jin's number of Weibo followers has increased significantly due to this sensational news publicity.

With more than 80 followers, Sina Weibo is basically a top-notch V in its early stages.

After all, Yao Ming is only worth 220 million.

She has grown a bit more in the past few days.

Because the number of users of Sina Weibo is increasing every day.

Sina Weibo was very successful in this wave of Chen Jin’s traffic promotion activities, at least they made money.

There are hundreds of millions of discussions on the Internet. Even if one-tenth of them know about Weibo and hundreds of thousands of people register, it would still be profitable.

What's more, the number of people registered on Weibo these days has reached more than one million.

This is an increase of more than ten times compared to the tens of thousands per day in the previous few days.

These are all the user increases brought about by Chen Jin joining Weibo.

……

"The date for the supplementary recording of the directing department's art exam has been announced: July 7th!"

"It just so happens that the students are on holiday, and the teachers in the directing department are free. You can learn from Director Zhang these few days. It's just a formality!"

"It won't be the same as the real art exam..."

Zhang Huijun was talking to Chen Jin on the phone, but Chen Jin hurriedly said, "Dean Zhang, just follow the real art exam. I'm afraid it will be discovered later!"

There is nothing wrong with make-up exams, but it is not right if you use backdoors.

If the Dr. Zhai incident breaks out, he will be the one who suffers.

"The art exam for the directing department is still very difficult!"

“It’s much harder than performing!”

Zhang Huijun reminded.

He was afraid that Chen Jin would not pass the exam, so he said that just now.

"It's okay, Dean Zhang!"

"If I really can't get in, then the acting department is also fine. Isn't the pressure from public opinion not that great now?"

The reason why Zhang Huijun asked Chen Jin to choose a double major, and specifically added a directing major, was mainly because he was afraid that Beijing Film Academy would suffer pressure from external public opinion.

There is also pressure from above.

But now, with the Peking University School of Arts taking action, public opinion has indeed dropped to the lowest point.

This college is planning to train students to become performing artists, and they all aim to enter the National Theatre of China or the National Theatre of China.

Many actors get regular jobs directly after graduation.

The performance department of the Central Academy of Drama is still far behind; there are only 1 or 2 places for the two major drama theaters every year. As for the Beijing Film Academy, there are even fewer. It's not that it's impossible to take the exam, but that you can't pass.

In fact, there was an actors' troupe at the Beijing Film Studio before, which also had a regular system and produced many stars, such as Liu Xiaoqing and Zhao Wei, who were the mainstays of the troupe.

At its peak, the troupe leader was more famous than the two major drama theaters.

But with the decline of Beijing Film Studio, although this troupe still exists, there are basically no people left and no one knows where to go.

So this is actually one of the reasons for the decline of the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy.

There is no place to practice acting skills in a down-to-earth way.

"Fine!"

"Do you really want to study directing?"

Zhang Huijun was smiling, and Chen Jin hummed, "Yes, I mainly want to give it a try. After I pass the exam, won't I be able to attend classes in the directing department?"

Students from other departments are not allowed to audit many of the directing department's required courses.

Unlike elective courses, you can choose.

"It's up to you. After graduating from the acting department in four years, you can transfer to the directing department as a graduate student!" "But if you take the exam now, I don't object. But I have to tell you that if you really want to take the exam, the directing department is still very strict!"

"Know!"

Chen Jin was prepared for this.

"Then I'll have someone send you some of the assessment points for the third test via email!"

"You should prepare well in the next few days and study hard for the exam!"

"it is good!"

Chen Jin was responding there, but in fact he didn't take the directing department arts exam seriously.

He really just wanted to give it a try. He didn't know when he would be able to become a director, so he wanted to do well as an actor first.

After hanging up the phone with Zhang Huijun, Chen Jin went downstairs. Zhang Yimou asked him to exercise together.

The post-production of the movie "The Hawthorn Tree" should be completed, and he now has time to go running. By the way... I have something to talk to him about.

"Director Zhang!"

After changing clothes and going downstairs, Chen Jin saw Lao Mouzi warming up.

Long time no see, Zhang Yimou still looks the same old.

"I heard about your story. Did the Peking University School of Arts recruit you?"

Zhang Yimou pointed to the road in the community, indicating that they could run.

The two of them walked quickly and chatted while doing so.

"Yes, I am also puzzled. Why did a joint training suddenly come about..."

"Good thing!"

Zhang Yimou smiled and glanced at Chen Jin: "Are you not satisfied with this?"

"Satisfied, I am definitely willing to do so. Dean Lin is so powerful!"

"Yup!"

As Zhang Yimou walked, he sighed, "An actor cannot just keep making movies. He is just a tool of the director!"

"In a drama, the actors are the soul, and the director is weakened. Do you understand?"

Zhang Yimou's words made Chen Jin slightly stunned.

This was the first time he heard this point of view.

“Many actors occasionally act in plays just to learn more about acting and to develop their bodies!”

"If you just want to be a star, you can keep making movies!"

"But if you want to have some ambition, you need to be well prepared to be an actor!"

Zhang Yimou said this and glanced at Chen Jin.

This look is very deep.

Chen Jin had a feeling that Zhang Yimou had completely seen through her.

"Chen Jin, have you thought about what path you will take in the future?"

"No...no!"

When Chen Jin first got the system, he just wanted to get into Beijing Film Academy and become an actor, in order to make up for the regrets of himself in his future autobiographical film.

That was his obsession, an obsession that made him fail the exam after so many attempts.

Later, I didn’t expect that I would get first place in the art exam, and the score was so high.

He became a man of his own again.

At this time, Chen Jin only wanted to become famous.

But now, he was a little confused.

Luo Sheng may be a colonialist, but some of his words are true.

"Luck is not his achievement, it is the hand of fate that lifted him to a height he does not deserve!"

"It makes people feel light-headed, dizzy, and finally, terrified!"

This is what Chen Jin is like now.

He felt like he was being controlled by an invisible hand and had completely deviated from his original dream of becoming famous. He was now heading down a path that he had never dared to imagine.

Performing artist?
Do you deserve it?

"From the moment you auditioned for The Founding of a Party, your life has already taken a different path!"

Zhang Yimou suddenly took a breath and spoke to Chen Jin.

Today, he actually wanted to have a chat with Chen Jin.

The recent series of events is far beyond the pressure that an 18-year-old boy can bear.

Although Chen Jin’s mental age is not 18.

But Zhang Yimou knew very well that one move would affect the entire body. Now every step Chen Jin took was actually walking on a tightrope, so he had to have a frank talk with him at this point.

He didn't want a performing genius to be contaminated by the secular filth.

Although he is also one of the people in this big melting pot.

But while he is still a student, everything is possible.

The support from Peking University School of Arts will be a great help to Chen Jin in her future.

Zhang Yimou really wants to see what kind of acting career a student of the Department of Performance, who is surrounded by so many halos, can take in the future.

He was looking forward to it, but also worried.

I was worried that Chen Jin would go astray and take the wrong path.

Zhang Yimou had made such a mistake, but as the mentor and director who discovered Chen Jin... he wanted a great actor to be born among his own men, just like a man trying to persuade a prostitute to change her ways.

Chen Jin has this possibility because his talent is so dazzling.

"Director Zhang, I'm listening to whatever you want to say!"

Chen Jin also felt that today's Zhang Yimou was completely different from what he had known before.
