Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 92: Not much time left
"We arrived in New Haven yesterday afternoon.

A current student gave us a brief tour of the campus, and we found that the artistic atmosphere here is quite strong.

In the evening we went to the theatre company to watch their rehearsal and there was a lively classical drama.

After the show, the actors held a small party to welcome us.”

Liu Yifei slowly recounted her experience of yesterday.

After listening to her, Gu Bei noticed her mood change:
"You don't sound as excited as you used to."

"Maybe I thought too highly of myself before, so there's a slight gap."

Liu Yifei was slightly stunned when she heard this.

She rubbed the spine of the book in her hand and thought carefully.
After getting to know the campus, she found that it was not much different from when she was at Beijing Film Academy.

Although she often went out to film when she was at Beijing Film Academy, she also spent quite a bit of time on campus.

The artistic atmosphere at Beijing Film Academy is no worse than here, except that the campus is a bit small. However, Yale University itself has more than one drama school, so the two are not comparable.

After a pause, she shook off her thoughts: "I still have to attend classes this afternoon. My performance in class and the interview tonight will ultimately determine whether or not we will receive an offer (admission notice) in a week."

She looked at the light screen panel of the system next to her, on which there were still two unfinished tasks!

"A week. By the time you receive the offer, Whiplash should be almost finished."

Gu Bei calculated the time and found that it was exactly the same time.

Liu Yifei's heart suddenly tightened.

She still remembers the deadline she set for herself.
After Whiplash is finished, he will confess everything to Gu Bei.

There is not much time left!

The two chatted for a while.

After Liu Yifei hung up the phone,
Just go to the trial class in the afternoon.

She chose Professor Wood's acting course, where her performance was observed and recorded. Naturally, a familiar teacher could better ensure her performance.

Once inside,

Professor Wood saw her and nodded to her.

During the course, Professor Wood made no secret of his optimism about her and frequently asked her to stand up and perform.

These trial classes are taken with current students and are not too difficult, which is easy for Liu Yifei with her 62-point acting skills.

Every performance was met with applause.

This is not too unusual. The students in the course are all classmates, and everyone will applaud even if it is just for encouragement.

It was not until the end of the course, when the students who had been listening to the teacher leave, that they began to praise Liu Yifei:
"Crystal, I think you will definitely get the offer. I think your performance is the best in our group!"

Liu Yifei expressed her gratitude for the compliment somewhat embarrassedly.

She attended the remaining two trial classes and completed the afternoon assessment.

Finally, only the interview in the evening remained.

"Hello, Ms. Liu, you can call me Professor Austin. I will be in charge of this interview."

Professor Austin sat across the table and gestured for Liu Yifei to relax. "Could you please tell me why you want to join our academy?"

Liu Yifei thought carefully and said naturally:
“Because I like acting and I have loved acting since I was a child, that’s why I chose to become an actor.

For me, acting is something that I find extremely interesting from the bottom of my heart.

Every time I receive a new script, it’s like opening the door to a whole new world, filled with all kinds of distinct characters waiting for me to explore and interpret.

Moreover, my dream of becoming an actor has opened my eyes to beautiful possibilities that I had never imagined, possibilities for being human.” Professor Austin nodded repeatedly after hearing her speech.

As expected of a candidate specifically mentioned by Professor Wood, her speech was more natural and confident than that of previous candidates.

And looking at her personal profile, she mentioned a lot of her acting experience, which is very good.

The only problem is...

Didn’t she mention the name of our college in her speech just now?

Professor Austin thought about it carefully.

He found that Liu Yifei was talking about her dreams and feelings the whole time, and indeed did not mention the name of the Yale School of Drama at all.

So he gave it a hint: "That's very good. I can feel your love for acting, but what kind of help do you think you can get by joining our academy?"

Liu Yifei thought for a moment and said very honestly, "Improvement in acting."

Professor Austin was a little puzzled.

When it comes to the interview stage,

Candidates generally express their yearning for the college.

At the very least, they will express their love for the college.

Why is Liu Yifei so calm when she is here?
Could it be that Chinese students are more introverted and therefore not good at expressing their inner feelings?

After a pause, Professor Austin continued to ask:
"In fact, this is not a test, but a conversation, and a mutual choice between the two parties.

Can you tell me what you think of our college after these two days of experience?"

"The school has a strong artistic atmosphere, the students are very enthusiastic, and the professors' courses are very interesting." Liu Yifei tried hard to search for adjectives in her mind.

"You mentioned earlier that you hope to improve your acting skills here. So after this afternoon's class, do you think it will be of great help to you?"

Professor Austin asked anxiously.

Liu Yifei thought about it and answered honestly, "To a certain extent."

But she saw that Professor Austin seemed a little dissatisfied with the answer.

But she really thought so.

After experiencing the effect of acting points,
If she said that she could give herself a huge improvement, she would not be able to get over it in her heart.

But Professor Austin's heart sank at this moment.

It’s over, it seems like this student is going to be poached!

The offer from the Yale School of Drama is more like an acceptance letter for a job than an acceptance letter from a domestic school.

Whether it is an offer to enter the third test or an offer of admission,

The replies are divided into three levels. The first level is admission, the second level is waiting list, and the last level is to see about it next year, which means rejection.

The second tier is when someone in the first tier is rejected, someone will be lucky enough to be admitted.

Every school is competing with each other. Everyone wants good students, and many times they have to fight for them.

Liu Yifei's performance and attitude are very similar to those of the person being fought over.

The two continued the interview.

When Liu Yifei walked out of the interview office, she was still a little worried.

Why does Professor Austin keep mentioning scholarships and stuff?
