There are two exams today, which are the written exams for the directing department and the drama major. The drama major is the first to take the test. Due to the large number of candidates, the examination room is set in the school basketball gym. The single seats are packed with people. The moment He Tianran really sat down, a feeling of touching his own destiny arose in his heart.
After months of hard preparation, staying up late reading, making films, and learning story creation, he was like a sponge, absorbing knowledge about directing and screenwriting, gradually transforming himself from a hobbyist into a quasi-practitioner. Or, and all this, just for a girl whom I will never see again.
He Tianran regarded this as the final explanation of this relationship. If he was lucky enough to break through this wall, then he would be able to see the different future that the girl said.
Most of the questions in drama and literature majors are literary-oriented, and the questions are obscure and tricky, which extremely tests one's literary reserve and background. Moreover, I heard that this year's questions are much more difficult than in previous years, such as:
What is the full English name of AIIB?
In which country did Godard live in his later years?
What is the first poem in "Three Hundred Tang Poems"?
Empress Dowager Cixi was born in 1835. According to the zodiac calendar, what year was this?
This kind of knowledge that ordinary people would only extract unconsciously is now the key point that every candidate here is pulling their hair to recall.
There are many more questions like this. A hundred questions need to be answered correctly at least 70 times to be considered safe. The test time is only one and a half hours. After He Tianran finished, he checked it again. Except for a few questions that he was not sure about and were completely confused about. Off topic, it's not a big problem if it reaches the standard of 70 questions.
The afternoon was the preliminary exam for the directing department. The questions in the directing department were very complicated. The questions were all kinds of and involved everything. But this one just happened to hit He Tianran's love for miscellaneous knowledge. He could answer every question. With 90% certainty, he answered all the way to the end, and the math problem came out: "7 coins are turned heads up, and 5 coins are turned over each time. How many times does it take to turn 7 coins heads up?"
Just kidding, He Tianran was one of the top students in mathematics in their school. He immediately wrote down the answers, handed in the test paper with satisfaction, and walked out of the examination room confidently.
The results for these two majors will be released three days later, because they may have to wait until all the candidates from the performance department, which has the largest number of applicants, have finished their exams before the results are released together. Therefore, He Tianran was in a very uneasy mood during these three days.
The school is now on winter vacation, and the semester will not start until the ninth day of the first lunar month, so he has nothing to do and can only study at home.
Three days later, in the early morning, people watching the results at the entrance of the film school slowly poured in like a long winding queue. The place where the results were released was also called the "Executive Building" because it was a teaching building used by students from the Acting Department and the Directing Department.
The Performance Department has a large number of people and a large number of candidates entering the second examination, so it is placed in a separate area on the right side of the teaching building.
As for the lists of other majors on the left, the first one to be posted is the first-pass list of the drama major of the Department of Literature.
He Tianran held his breath and looked at the entire list from the first number to the last number without blinking - there was no him!
How can it be?
Although those test questions were obscure and obscure, they only made him feel a little stressed. How could he fail even one test?
The boy read it from beginning to end again, but still nothing.
For a moment, he was disheartened.
After failing the exam, many candidates pretended to be unappreciated and scolded the film school for their lack of vision, just like a third-rate Internet writer who always complains about why readers don't read his books or why websites don't let him be on the list.
He Tianran resisted the urge to join them. He wanted to calm down, but he couldn't calm down no matter what.
Could it be that all the efforts of the past few months have been in vain?
If you can't even pass the drama test, then why bother taking the directing exam? You know, the directing department is the most difficult to pass among the seven major departments of Hong Kong Film Academy!
I didn’t even have the chance to take the second test and write a story that I’m good at…
Not long after, the list of directors was also posted.
He Tianran wilted his head and didn't dare to look at the list. Unexpectedly, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and vaguely saw his own number!
He couldn't believe it, so he opened his eyes and looked again...
It’s really him! Passed the directing exam!
He Tianran is so happy because he has a good eye for directing. Mao's drama is rubbish. I am destined to be a director. Sitting at a desk and typing is not suitable for me! go away!
He was overjoyed, dancing and having epileptic fits, when suddenly he felt a burning and awkward feeling on his face——
Someone is watching him!
He Tianran coughed slightly, immediately lowered his eyebrows seriously, acted like a gentleman and pretended to study the list, while secretly peeking at the girl next to him who just stared at him with the corner of his eye.
It's warm and cool again.
He Tianran took a deep breath, maybe because of his mood, the fresh fruity smell mixed with the daughter's fragrance almost made him drunk.
Wen Liang is 1.7 meters tall. Today, she is wearing a cool black leather jacket and leather trousers, which sets off her skin as white as goat's milk.
The girl was looking askance at herself.
"Ahem, over there is the performance department list." He Tianran calmed down his expression and said.
"I know, I just watched it and passed it." Wen Liang said confidently.
"Then come here..."
"Don't be too pretentious. I came here to help my friend from the training class. He had an emergency at home today and couldn't come, so he asked me to help."
Wen Liang was overdoing it and took the lead in explaining.
Perhaps to confirm what she said, Wen Liang began to look for something on the list of directors. After a moment, she smiled, took out her mobile phone, walked to the side and started making calls happily.
The joy He Tianran had gained just now was suddenly extinguished as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him.
The directing department is a well-known major, and nearly 80% of the applicants are male. There are twelve people admitted this year, and it would be good to have one female among them, so he subconsciously concluded that Wen Liang was talking to a boy on the phone.
This is also true. When he heard Wen Liang's vague words, "Fortunately, you didn't take the acting test. Compared with those handsome guys, you have no competitiveness at all." He could also imagine the gender of the other party. .
In fact, it's not a big deal, I just feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
Soon, Wen Liangmian came back with joy.
"Looking at your expression just now, you must have passed?"
He Tianran's expression was cold and he didn't look at the other party. He just shook his head and said:
"I signed up to major in drama. When you called me just now, I read it again and found out that I had read it wrong. I was overjoyed."
"What? No way?" A warm smile froze on his face.
He Tianran took out his drama admission ticket and threw it into the trash can next to him without thinking.
"You... what are you doing? Just look for it... If there is one, you still have to rely on your admission ticket to go through the procedures for the second test... Don't lose it..."
"It's not necessary. I've looked carefully and it's not true. There's no way. Maybe I'm not suitable for this line of work. In the final analysis, it's just because of my incompetence."
He Tianran left a message, and Wen Liang was worried and wanted to say something else, but suddenly she heard a ringtone from the cell phone in the boy's bag, and she hesitated.
He Tianran took out his cell phone and saw the caller, and accidentally answered the call and put it to his ear.
"Hey, Ai Qing... I didn't pass... Well... My number is not on the list... I checked carefully... Oh, no need to comfort me, hey, I'm not in as bad a mood as you think..."
Looking at He Tianran who was drifting away, his cool eyes were as deep as a deep spring, with a pair of bright black gems embedded in them, full of flowing language, and he couldn't stop talking...
