On a bench somewhere in the university town, He Tianran explained to Cao Aiqing on the other end of the phone with a smile on his face.
"Oh, I didn't pass the script, but the director did. Okay, okay, I should have said it all in one breath. It's my fault, my fault."
Cao Aiqing on the other end of the phone knew that today was the day when the results were released, so he called with great expectations and wanted to share He Tianran's joy.
But unexpectedly, when this guy opened his mouth, he said two words in a particularly heavy tone - failed!
At first, Cao Aiqing didn't believe it. The He Tianran in her heart was very good, so she asked again and again, but she still got the same result.
The kind-hearted girl thought that He Tianran had been delayed in his recent studies and failed at the first level of the art exam. The blow was so severe and time was waiting for no one. What would he do in the future?
She was immediately confused. The two people even exchanged their lots, and it was clear that one was the top one. Why didn't the Bodhisattva bless her?
Cao Aiqing comforted her at first, but the more she spoke, the deeper her voice became, and she even cried in the end.
Unexpectedly, this guy only told me another good news after hearing him cry.
Now Cao Aiqing simply hates He Tianran.
"Okay, stop crying, stop crying. Hey, the name I changed for you is Crybaby. It's absolutely right."
"Blow~~Well~I won't cry anymore. I thought you must be very sad now~I didn't expect you are a big liar. I don't believe you anymore..."
Listening to the phone, I heard Cao Aiqing sniffing, followed by another "bang bang bang" sound.
He Tianran asked doubtfully: "What's the sound?"
On the other end of the phone, the strange noise stopped, and Cao Aiqing gritted his teeth: "Hit you!"
"..."
Imagining Cao Aiqing shaking her fist at the phone, looking cute and angry with tears in her eyes, He Tianran leaned back and forth on the bench, but did not dare to laugh too loudly.
"Good fight, good fight. I'm going to give you a few kowtows, so you can go around Xiao Hezi."
He Tianran put the mobile phone in his hand, then tapped his fingers slightly and "knocked" toward the wooden bench a few times.
"Listen, these sounds are sincere enough!"
"Hahahaha...um...do you want to take another test this afternoon?"
Sensing that Cao Aiqing should be laughing through tears, He Tianran quickly answered:
"No, it's not that fast. Today is the second audition for the management, drama, and acting departments. The directing department is tomorrow. I have to go through the formalities later."
"Then...then work hard."
"Yeah, okay."
After hanging up the phone, Cao Aiqing, this girl is really easy to coax. After chatting with her about the Queen, He Tianran brushed away the dejection and inexplicable resentment in his heart after failing in the play. He first walked around the university town and took the opportunity to sneak away. He went to the University of Hong Kong next door to have a look, and then found a Sichuan restaurant nearby and ordered two stir-fried dishes to reward himself. By the time he returned to the film school, it was already afternoon.
Anyway, there is no exam in the directing department today. Looking at the students from the acting department and the management department, the first few batches of candidates have already come out, with different expressions on their faces. He looks like he has nothing to do with anything.
"Teacher, I was indeed late for something just now, and I didn't grasp the time well. Please let me in."
Hearing a familiar voice, He Tianran looked around and saw that it was Wen Liang standing at the door of the guide building, speaking with an aggrieved face.
"How come the little girl has no sense of time? How can she be late for something like this? Usually when this kind of thing happens, the opportunity to take the exam will be immediately voided. Do you understand?"
The female invigilator who was responsible for guarding the examination room had a solemn look on her face.
"I know it's the wrong teacher. Something is indeed delayed this time. Teacher, if it's troublesome for me to go in now, do you think I can follow the classmates with the last few numbers in? Please, teacher..."
Wen Liang begged, and the female teacher looked Wen Liang up and down, and couldn't bear it after seeing that the child was sincere in apologizing and that she was also a good young child.
"Follow me in. I'll take you in. I don't know if your group has started yet."
"Thank you teacher, thank you teacher."
Watching Wen Liang enter the teaching building, He Tianran secretly breathed a sigh of relief for her. He slowly printed out his ID card and the materials needed for the second test at the campus canteen, and then went to the designated registration point to apply. Procedures for taking the second test.
At this time, there are not many people at the registration point. The reception staff of many departments have already withdrawn. Only the director and photography majors who will have their exams tomorrow are left with people on hand to take charge.
An old man wearing reading glasses who looked to be in his seventies squinted his eyes and tapped twice on the computer with one-finger meditation to confirm that he was a student taking the second test, and then nodded.
"Your... name is He Tianran?"
The old man said.
He Tianran did not dare to offend such an old teacher, who knows if he was a secretive sweeper or a professor who helped guide a certain generation of directors. He said with sincerity and fear:
"Teacher, do you know me?"
"Hi~ Your name sounds familiar, but I can't remember it right now."
He Tianran thought to himself, could his father have something to do with the old man in front of him?
After all, He Panshan was also a figure in the literary and art circles when he was young. Even after he entered business, he had many friends in the literary and art circles around him.
However, He Tianran didn't want to have anything to do with his father. He smiled and said:
"Perhaps you have forgotten it. This is the first time I see you."
The old man nodded without thinking too much and encouraged: "Young man, take the exam well."
"Thanks to your good advice, I will definitely perform well."
After paying 100 yuan in exchange for the admission ticket, He Tianran held a glue pen at the side and pasted a one-inch photo of himself onto the admission ticket.
After an exam in the directing department, it would be considered a high achievement to pass half of the 1,000 people. Moreover, this is the simplest written exam. When I think about the re-examination tomorrow, I need to do it in front of the invigilator. Take a picture of He Tianran. The sticker is a little crooked.
…
…
Early the next morning, a long cordon was set up early from the entrance of the film school to the cinema hall.
The invigilators of the film school were busy dividing the candidates into groups and lining them up into the examination room.
"No. 01725, He Tianran!"
"arrive!"
He Tianran stooped and walked into the cordon, followed the teacher who led the group and his classmates, and entered the large movie theater to stand and wait for the examination room to be assigned.
Their group of ten people were all boys. The atmosphere around them was solemn, and they all looked nervous.
He Tianran held the rosary beads and looked at his nose and nose, his mind was in a very detached state. Several people on the side looked at this man with admiration.
At this time, the crowd became commotion, and He Tianran opened his eyes.
I saw a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties walking into the big movie hall. Several boys around him said excitedly:
"Oh, shit, that's Lin Hao, the great director!"
"Yes, he won't be the one to supervise our exam this time, right?"
"Quick, quick, let's go up and get an autograph!"
The appearance of a well-known director made some candidates excited. There were all children present who would aim to be "directors" in the future. Who could remain calm with the appearance of such a role model?
Many boys rushed up to express their love for Lin Hao's movies excitedly. Lin Hao didn't have any airs and signed his name with a smile. He seemed to have something to do at the film school. He was just passing by this time and stayed for about three minutes. Then he left in a hurry.
He Tianran was also excited. Film school was indeed different. He could meet a big shot in the film and television industry casually.
But after all, he is also a young man, and has seen many big scenes since he was a child, so he is not like others who rush up to ask for autographs and express their admiration.
In fact, he fully believed that He Panshan had the ability and financial resources to invite several bigger directors or celebrities to have dinner together and talk about investments.
But, what does this have to do with He Tianran?
Soon after, the team moved slowly. He Tianran followed the team and moved a few steps. Everyone walked to the door of a classroom.
Inside, a person who looked like a professor said something, and a teaching assistant walked out of the classroom with a serious look on his face. He whispered something to the invigilator who was leading the team.
The leader turned to the candidates and said, "Any students who were outside just now and asked Lin Hao for his autograph, please come out!"
He Tianran's group of three candidates who had just received their signatures and had excited expressions on their faces stepped out of the queue.
The teaching assistant took out three one-hundred-yuan bills from his pocket, handed one to each of them, and said:
"This is the examination fee you paid for the second examination of the Directing Department. Take it and you can go."
