Huayu: That year, I withdrew from the Super Boy competition.

As for why Su Wei didn't read the books she was studying,

He went to participate in "Super Boy" and now wants to go to an art school.

It's a simple matter to explain.

Because he is not a person of this world.

Or rather, not entirely.

In the sweltering summer of 2004, he woke up to find himself transported from the future to become a middle school student.

At first, he was also apprehensive for a while.

Anyone who opens their eyes to find themselves more than ten years younger, sitting in an unfamiliar classroom surrounded by unfamiliar children, would immediately think, "Am I dreaming?"

But he pinched himself several times and still didn't wake up, so they had no choice but to accept it.

After accepting it, he began to observe the world.

The result of the observation is—

The historical trajectory, urban landscape, and all aspects of life here are almost exactly the same as in his previous life.

It also features the Four Heavenly Kings, Jay Chou, the Spring Festival Gala, and "My Fair Princess," and even hot pot restaurants in Chengdu are located in the same area.

But there was one thing that bothered him.

Other transmigrators arrive with a system, a personal grandpa, and an overpowered cheat ability, practically receiving divine equipment right from the starting village.

What about him?

There was nothing there.

There were no quest notification sounds, no white-bearded old man jumping out in the dead of night, and no skill packs given out at the start.

Pure naked running.

The only advantage I have is my experience of living two lives.

Compared to other kids his age, he was indeed much more composed and intelligent.

However, this advantage is extremely limited.

In the teacher's eyes, he is at most "a smart and sensible kid", but that doesn't mean he gets extra points.

After entering high school, he studied hard and his best grades were second in his class and fifth in his grade.

He admitted it himself.

When it comes to reading, there's a limit to one's natural talent.

There's a significant gap between him and those truly academic high-achievers.

It's not that I don't try, it's that even if I try, I can't overcome it.

He consistently ranks in the top ten of his grade; his talent is slightly better than the average person, but he's far from being at the top.

But he soon discovered something else.

He picks up art very quickly.

You can play a musical instrument roughly after touching it twice, you can imitate a song about 70-80% after listening to it twice, and you can replicate a dance move after seeing it once.

It's as if these pathways already exist in the brain, just waiting to be activated.

The music teacher praised him as "talented," and the art teacher said he was "the most charismatic student he had ever taught."

He had never received such praise in his past life.

He thought about it for a moment and roughly understood.

In his past life, he at least lived through the era of the information explosion.

My mind holds over a decade's worth of entertainment memories.

Those songs, movies, and variety shows that became wildly popular in later generations; those formulas for creating hit shows that have been repeatedly proven; and those contents that haven't yet appeared in this world.

He doesn't lack material, he just lacks opportunity.

Su Wei thought to himself: "Well, although he's not good at dominating the business world, and he's even less good at political maneuvering, he can do singing, songwriting, and performing on stage—and he's faster and better than others."

Isn't this a job given to us by God?

Since God has already brought us this food, refusing to eat it would be disrespectful to God.

That's how the later events unfolded.

He signed up for "Super Boy" and fought his way from the Chengdu division to the top five nationwide, only to withdraw from the competition during the live broadcast of the top five to top four round.

The same logic applies to withdrawing from the competition.

He has so many songs in his head; he doesn't need to rely on that contract from EE-Media to survive.

As a noble transmigrator, how can I allow myself to be manipulated by an unfair contract?

After much deliberation, he decided to enter the entertainment industry.

He might not be confident about doing anything else, but he's confident about this.

Because Su Wei still had a card in her hand.

An ace.

His incredibly handsome face is absolutely mesmerizing.

This is like God feeding you.

Being good-looking is a plus in ordinary industries, but in the entertainment industry, it's an entry ticket.

After all, good looks combined with any skill are a winning combination.

Su Wei was well aware of her appearance.

From the day he entered high school, he was a "well-known figure" at Shude High School.

During military training, a girl from the next class pretended to pass by their formation and came specifically to see him.

Anonymous love letters appeared in the desk drawer during the first week of school.

He had only heard of the unofficial title of "the most handsome school heartthrob in Shude history" a few times from other people's joking remarks.

However, high school life is so full of tests and exams that who has the time to seriously hold a school heartthrob election?

It was nothing more than which class had the best-looking student, which became the topic of conversation when everyone was tired of doing their homework and would secretly chat about it.

And he just happened to be at the center of that discussion.

The girls talked about him during breaks, and the boys, though they didn't say it aloud, acknowledged it in their hearts.

This guy is so handsome, so handsome that I don't even bother to be jealous, because the difference is just too great.

So just how handsome is Su Wei?

To put it another way, this is Louis Koo in his younger days.

Gu Tianle, the one from the "Condor Heroes" era—wasn't he handsome enough?

Compared to him, Su Wei is probably even better.

His facial features are more refined than Louis Koo's, with higher brow bones, a more prominent nose, and a sharper jawline.

He also had a pair of clear eyes, which gave him a youthful air when he smiled, but a coldness when he wasn't smiling, making people want to look at him more but also afraid to look at him for too long.

Most importantly, he also has a pair of long legs.

This body is probably the most tangible blessing God gave him after he transmigrated here.

He wasn't bad-looking in his past life, but he wasn't nearly this good-looking.

Every time he looks in the mirror, he thinks he looks good.

Then I silently kowtowed to God in my heart.

In the entertainment industry, looks aren't everything, but you can't do without them.

Having a good-looking face is like having an extra buff at the start of the game.

In addition, there are the songs in his head and his experiences of living two lives.

This configuration is simply unbeatable.

…………

On July 15th, the final exams at Shude Middle School officially began.

Su Wei received the test paper and scanned it from beginning to end, getting a general idea of ​​what to expect.

The intensive study in the first two weeks was not in vain, nor was the review material I flipped through in my spare time during the two months at "Male Voice Academy".

He already had a solid foundation in Chinese, math, and English, so he could quickly pick them up again after a two-month break.

The combined science exam took a little effort, but it wasn't a disaster.

After finishing the last exam, he threw his pen on the table and twisted his sore wrist.

The problem is not big.

As expected, the results came out—eighth in the grade.

He dropped three places from his ranking before withdrawing from the competition, but considering he missed two months of classes, this result was enough for him to walk past Feng Tuo with his head held high.

With final exams over and summer tutoring not yet started, Su Wei had two rare days of free time.

He started thinking about the art exam.

In his past life, his understanding of art exams was particularly simple and straightforward:

Go to the school to register, sing a song, perform a skit, and then wait for the notification—it's similar to a talent show audition.

It might even be simpler than a talent show, since talent shows require appearing on television, while art exams don't.

It wasn't until he actually started researching the matter that he realized how naive he had been.
