Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, I became a legend in the entertainment industry by avo

Upon learning of the opportunity to intern at the Beijing People's Art Theatre ahead of schedule, Zhang Qilin was both surprised and delighted.

The good thing is that I can study with the teachers of Beijing People's Art Theatre in advance, which will give me a better chance of getting into the theatre next year.

Surprisingly, the person in charge of internship screening was actually Ms. Zhang Hua.

Zhang Hua was the original owner's dialogue teacher. He had always been optimistic about the original owner's talent in dialogue and often gave him extra tutoring.

During the rehearsal of the graduation play, he even took the time to meticulously work out the details of the original owner's lines, line by line.

Later, when Zhang Hua heard that the original owner planned to go to a talent show to debut after finishing her graduation play, he earnestly advised her not to waste her talent.

You should calm down and study the lines carefully so that you can go far in the film and television industry in the future.

Unfortunately, the original owner was only focused on taking shortcuts and ignored Teacher Zhang Hua's advice.

In the end, the two parted on bad terms.

If you send him to find Zhang Hua now, you can imagine what kind of scene it will be.

Of the remaining options, filming in Hengdian was the last resort.

Participating in the talent show to go against Xinghuo was not within his consideration.

With the help of the compass, as long as things develop steadily, his future is bright. There is no need for him to go head-to-head with Xinghuo and create trouble for himself.

As for helping Jing Tian reverse the negative reputation of the movie "The Warring States"? That's even more impossible.

I remember reading novels when I was in college in 2012, and every sweet character was a villain, which shows how bad her public image was back then.

Although he had a way to plan ahead and help Jing Tian reverse her image, he didn't act on it.

They have a professional team working for them.

Even if Jing Tian had a good relationship with the original owner, she wouldn't necessarily follow all of her own advice.

The biggest taboo in crisis public relations is for an inexperienced boss to instruct an expert; misguided commands will only make things worse.

For example, a certain company was brought to the brink of bankruptcy by its boss's bizarre actions.

For a film project with a huge investment like "The Warring States", every step in public relations must be flawless.

Moreover, the script for "The Warring States" is notoriously bad.

The success or failure of a film is the result of the joint decisions made by the screenwriter, director, producer, and lead actors.

This movie, besides causing Jing Tian a lot of negative public opinion.

Everyone else, even the crew members, made money.

In this situation, if he gets involved, whether he does it well or badly, he will offend a lot of people.

Even if the reward is great, he won't get involved in something that would be detrimental to his future development.

……

10:30

Zhang Qilin appeared in the corridor outside Teacher Zhang Hua's office.

He chose the middle-to-upper draw because it was the safest option for him.

Even if he fails, Zhang Hua won't have much of an impact on him.

Successful.

Not only can they enter the Beijing People's Art Theatre to study earlier, increasing their chances of being admitted, but they can also leave themselves a backup plan for their future acting career.

It would also help him deal with President Gu, letting him know that he was really taking the entrance exam for the Beijing People's Art Theatre, thus making him give up on bothering him.

Zhang Qilin walked to the office door and was about to knock when the door opened from the inside.

A pair of bright, large eyes stared at Zhang Qilin in surprise:

"Hey~ Da Lin, what are you doing here?"

Just as she finished speaking, Jing Tian seemed to remember something, couldn't help but glance into the room, and quickly closed the door.

Zhang Qilin was also somewhat surprised:

"Sweetie, I was just about to ask you that. Didn't you have a movie to film recently? What are you doing here?"

Jing Tian glanced back at the office door, and seeing no movement, lowered her voice and said:

"I asked Teacher Zhang for help with my lines, what about you?"

"I plan to apply to Beijing People's Art Theatre. I heard that Teacher Zhang Hua is in charge of the internship selection at the theatre, so I came to check it out."

Jing Tian's eyes widened even more:

"Applying for the Beijing People's Art Theatre?"

Zhang Qilin nodded:

"How is Teacher Zhang Hua feeling?"

"It was fine when I talked to him, but after you went in... I can't guarantee anything," Jing Tian smiled, "You really angered him during your graduation performance."

Zhang Qilin smiled bitterly to himself; the original owner of this body had caused trouble, and now he had to clean up the mess.

Judging from Jing Tian's words, Teacher Zhang was still angry and would definitely not give him a good look if she went now.

But in order to get an internship at the Beijing People's Art Theatre, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and face it.

Jing Tian leaned closer, blinked, and asked:

"Why do you suddenly want to apply to the Beijing People's Art Theatre? I heard that the acceptance rate is only one in a thousand, you..."

Zhang Qilin remained unfazed:

"I've thought about this seriously for a while now, and I think Mr. Zhang is right. I've decided to give up talent shows and take a down-to-earth approach to the entertainment industry."

He couldn't tell Jing Tian the truth, so he made up a suitable excuse on the spot.

"If you knew this would happen, why did you argue so fiercely with Teacher Zhang back then?"

"I just figured it out... By the way, do you know what the internship exam will be about?"

Jing Tian thought about it carefully:

"I don't know the specifics of the exam, but Teacher Zhang Hua has been listening to all sorts of audio recordings these past few days, including lines from classic plays and recitations of famous poems..."

Zhang Qilin nodded. It seemed that Teacher Zhang was still starting with the students' ability to deliver lines when selecting interns.

Are you coming to Teacher Zhang's office again this afternoon?

"Come over around 1:30," Jingtian nodded.

Zhang Qilin mentally calculated the time and said to Jing Tian:

"I'm going to record an audio clip now. Could you please bring it to Teacher Zhang this afternoon? If it's convenient... could you also say a few good words for me?"

Jing Tian readily nodded:

"no problem."

After agreeing on a meeting time for the afternoon, Zhang Qilin headed straight for the dubbing department.

He planned to record a piece that could move Teacher Zhang, hoping to ease the tension between the two.

In the dubbing department, Zhang Qilin found a senior he knew and borrowed equipment and a room from him.

After the equipment was set up, the senior student left, leaving Zhang Qilin alone in the room.

He sat in the chair, not in a hurry to record audio.

Instead, she carefully recalled the original owner's usual interactions with Zhang Hua, searching for script lines or poems that the other person liked.

Half an hour later, he finally decided on what he wanted to record and then began to prepare his emotions.

For a line of dialogue to move the audience, in addition to being fully engaged, it must also be filled with deep emotion.

Zhang Qilin sat quietly in the chair, cultivating his emotions.

Once he was emotionally prepared, he slowly began to speak:

"Have you not seen the Yellow River's waters come down from the sky..."

13: 30.

Zhang Qilin saw Jing Tian again in the corridor and handed her a USB drive:

"Try to get Mr. Zhang to hear this. Pay attention to his expression. When the time is right, send him a text message and I'll go in and apologize in person."

Jing Tian took the USB drive, smiled, and gave an "OK" sign.

"Leave it to me."

After saying that, she pushed open the door and went into the office.

Zhang Qilin waited outside the door, repeatedly going over the wording of his apology in his mind, trying to make his attitude as correct as possible.

Let Teacher Zhang see his sincere attitude and give him the opportunity to intern at the Beijing People's Art Theatre.

4:30 in the afternoon.

Zhang Qilin's phone remained silent.

It seems that Teacher Zhang still has no intention of forgiving him.

He wasn't disappointed; this was a stress test.

He never thought that the conflict could be resolved in one go.

Let's wait for Jing Tian to come out and ask about the situation, then adjust our strategy accordingly.

I believe that it won't take long before I can figure out Teacher Zhang's feelings and gain his understanding.

5:20

Jing Tian walked out of the office, looking at Zhang Qilin with a regretful expression on her face.

Before Zhang Qilin could speak, she said:

"I gave the USB drive to Teacher Zhang. She turned on the audio, but as soon as she heard your voice, she turned it off with a gloomy face. I didn't know what else to say. I'm sorry I couldn't help you."

"It's okay, if it doesn't work this time, I'll find another opportunity."

"But..." Jing Tian hesitated for a moment, "I just heard Teacher Zhang on the phone saying that the deadline for internship recommendations is the day after tomorrow."

Zhang Qilin's expression changed. The compass hadn't specified a time limit when it provided the information, so he had assumed there was plenty of time.

This sudden change caught him off guard, and he needed to think carefully about a solution.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qilin smiled and said to Jing Tian:

"Thank you for telling me such important news. I'll go now. Please call me if you need anything."

"Okay," Jingdian nodded.

……

23:30

The lights were off in the boys' dormitory. Zhang Qilin lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling.

After careful consideration, he realized that to gain Zhang Hua's forgiveness in the shortest possible time, he needed to understand his truest thoughts at that moment.

Given time, he has many ways to figure out Zhang Hua's true thoughts.

But what he lacks most right now is time.

The quickest and most accurate way to understand Zhang Hua's inner thoughts is to use the "Daily Divination" tool.

I've used up all four hexagrams for today; I'll have to wait until after 12 o'clock to refresh them.

He was reluctant to use a compass to perform a second divination on the same matter because there was no reward for doing so.

Unable to earn luck points through talent shows, divination has become the only way to obtain luck points at present.

12:00

"Beep beep beep..."

My phone alarm went off.

Zhang Qilin immediately focused his mind.

The Celestial Compass appeared before my eyes.

He silently recited in his heart:

"Daily Divination: How can I quickly resolve Ms. Zhang Hua's dissatisfaction with me?"

Runes swirled rapidly on the surface of the divination tube in the center of the compass, and then two jade divination sticks flew out:

Zhang Hua is actually quite happy that you were able to participate in the selection process, but he's embarrassed by your previous behavior. You need to give him a way out to ease the tension. You could ask a teacher to help smooth things over.

Zhang Hua has always hoped to gain more recognition from his students in his teaching; you could prepare a calligraphy piece of "Voice, Stage, Form, and Expression" as a gift for him.

After reading the two messages, Zhang Qilin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He worried that the worst-case scenario was that Zhang Hua harbored resentment towards him, which would be difficult to resolve.

Seeing the divination results, I felt a surge of admiration for Zhang Hua. He truly deserved to be a teacher at a prestigious university; his mind was indeed broad.

After reflecting on his experience, Zhang Qilin considered specific solutions based on the information obtained from divination.

Soon, he had a complete plan in mind.

I picked up the phone and dialed a number.

The phone rang a few times before being answered, and an annoyed voice shouted:

"You little brat, do you even know what time it is? Are you short of money again...?"
