I'm just an actor

Chapter 11

"Don't you think this answer is a bit strange?"

Xu Rong held the pen, looked at the female student sitting in front of her with puzzled eyes, and fell into deep thought.

How can you make a mistake with an answer that is clearly on your mind?
Zhang Rui poked the answer with a pen, as if she was the teacher, and said: "Look, 3.14, π, it must be right, you don't understand it, come on, let me teach you how to do it."

Xu Rong only felt a rush of blood in his chest rushing straight to his forehead, and even had the urge to stand up, turn around and leave.

After a while, when he calmed down, he slowly squeezed out a smile and repeated what he had said countless times: "Your thinking of solving the problem is fine, but you must pay attention to the calculation process, don't feel it, it may be possible." It's not right, besides, scratch paper really doesn't cost much, look at this step, why did you reverse the law of sine and cosine?"

Zhang Rui looked at it for a while, then laughed dryly, and said, "Haha, pay attention next time."

"Ding ding ding."

Hearing the ringtone of the mobile phone in his pocket, Xu Rong stopped planning to preach, and glanced at the caller ID, with a strange expression on his face.

Li Youbin called.

He stood up, walked to the living room outside, and asked, "Hello, Captain."

When he came back to sit down again, Xu Rong always felt that Zhang Rui was a little absent-minded, and kept glancing at himself, so he asked, "Why do you keep looking at me? Is my face not clean?"

Zhang Rui looked in the direction of the living room, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Xu, do you have any special status?"

Xu Rong was startled, could it be that he was discovered?
Then I thought about it, no, although "Migrant Workers" was aired recently, but I only collected a few scenes and a few words, which should not be recognized, and in order to fit the image of migrant workers, he made The appearance in front of the camera is deliberately not very good-looking.

Xu Rong pursed her lips, looked at Zhang Rui, felt that she was too nervous, forced the corner of her mouth to ask, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Rui's face turned pale, she quickly covered her mouth with the palm of her pen, shook her head and said, "I won't tell others, really, I really won't."

Xu Rong could see a little fear from the female student's expression, and looked at her suspiciously for a while, guessing that he probably guessed wrong, and asked with a smile: "What do you think I am?"

"When you called just now, you called the regiment commander, you." Zhang Rui blinked her eyelids and asked in a low voice, "Are you a special soldier on a secret mission? It has nothing to do with my family, right?"

The corners of Xu Rong's raised mouth froze. He really wanted to knock open the student's head to see what was inside.

"Appeal."

He took a deep breath, pressed her ponytail, straightened her head, and said, "Come on, let me tell you the next question."

"Oh, Mr. Xu, please don't interrupt, is it true?"

"Fake, a friend invited...to do a project."

Yes, it is indeed a project.

Li Youbin accepted a play and recommended him to the director, and he also knew the director, Chen Jialin, the director of "Great Qing Dynasty".

He originally wanted to refuse. Before the college entrance examination was over, he didn't plan to take any more dramas. Earning money was important, but in comparison, the exam was more important.

He distinguishes between the present and the future.

But Li Youbin obviously knew that he was going to take the exam, so he recommended him. The production crew is currently scheduled to start in mid-July.

Xu Rong didn't agree, he had to tell Guo Si first, and the agency would sign the contract with the crew.

This is a contract requirement.

He reckoned that there should be nothing wrong with him. He has no quarrel with Chang Jihong, and has always been very polite to her. The most important thing is that he didn't occupy the company's resources. Not only that, but Chang Jihong can also make a fortune from him.

As for the specific executor, Guo Si, he just nodded, after all, he accepted his souvenirs.

Facts proved that his prediction was correct, and Chang Jihong did not refuse.

Perhaps to her, it is just an insignificant little thing among the many things that need to be considered every day.

Xu Rong took some time to follow Li Youbin to meet Chen Jialin and the producer. After signing the contract, he didn't read the script. He had more important things to do.

Art exam.

In the occasional gap, he considered whether he should not go to college at all, and just plunged into the showbiz directly.

But this idea was rejected by him as soon as it was born.

In the process of filming, he has accumulated a lot of experience, but when chatting with Li Youbin and others on the set, once the other party popped up a professional term occasionally, his eyes immediately turned dark, and he was completely clueless.

He is very clear that if he wants to go further, run faster, and earn more, he must first stand on the shoulders of his predecessors like others, learn scientific and effective performance theories, and then guide practice.

If you just rely on your own groping, the effort you need to put in is probably going through the whole winding process from the development of acting to the present.

The three major colleges are the best choice for this path.

Unfortunately, this year, the time for the re-examination of the Chinese opera collided with the time for the initial examination of Nortel. Xu Rong chose to apply for Nortel after careful consideration based on the situation in previous years.

The facts are about the same as his analysis.

This year, the Department of Chinese Theater Acting plans to recruit 31 people, and Nortel plans to recruit 30 people. The number of applicants for Chinese Opera is more than 5200, and the number of applicants for Beitel is more than 4900. Compared with previous years, the number of applicants is much friendlier, only 160, not as crazy as in previous years 190 or more.

The reason why he made up his mind to choose Nortel is that China Opera pays more attention to talent and expertise than Nortel, which happens to be his shortcoming.

The aspect that Nortel pays attention to happens to be his strengths.

In the hustle and bustle of frantic practice, the first test came.

Before the exam, he once again spent a lot of unnecessary expenses on hair and eyebrows.

In normal times, he doesn't care much about his appearance, he just needs to be clean and neat, and usually finds a haircut at any one nearby, so if the barber's craftsmanship is better, he will look better, if the barber is half a bottle of water, then He can only make do with it.

But right now he can't make up his mind, he has to make the most of his strengths.

They lined up to enter the examination room, and there were four examiners sitting in the empty classroom, two men and two women.

Xu Rong took a deep breath, first bowed to the four examiners, and said loudly, "Hello, teacher."

An examiner sitting in the middle looked at his resume and said, "First, introduce yourself."

According to the requirements of colleagues in the training institution, Xu Rong said in a clear voice, neither humble nor overbearing: "Examination number 1700212, name Xu Rong, this year, height 1.7 meters eight, weight 66 kg, from Henan Province, currently a senior high school student."

He had already learned that there were three rounds of the art test, and the first test was essentially an audition to exclude candidates who were ugly, had less-than-good-looking faces, and had acting dreams but no external skin to support them.

The pass rate for this round is around 50%.

The requirements for self-introduction in the first test are relatively simple, concise and simple, just say what you ask, and don't talk nonsense.

"Why should you apply for Nortel?"

Xu Rong's heart skipped a beat, but it only took half a second to blurt out, "I love acting."

This is the standard answer, it won't be brilliant, but it will never deduct points for it.

He was able to answer immediately because this question was likely to be asked in the re-examination, so he had already prepared for it.

Another teacher saw that he stopped talking after he finished his sentence, and asked: "You have filmed three films, what roles are they?"

"One has only a few lines, and the other two have one of the main actors."

"Tell me what you think of acting."

Xu Ronglai didn't prepare for this question before, but he just thought about it for two seconds before saying, "It's very interesting. Although I was tired while filming, I felt a sense of accomplishment in the process of shaping the character."

The first male examiner who spoke put his resume on the table, crossed his hands, and said, "Can you name a few film theorists?"

Xu Rong became more and more nervous. After the first question, the process was completely inconsistent with what the training class said, but he still remembered his colleagues' advice to always maintain self-confidence and never show timidity no matter what the situation was, so he said : "Zhang Huijun."

He noticed this name when he checked the school's information on the Internet, and he didn't pay attention to it at the time, he just had a general impression that what he wanted to distinguish at that time was the difference between the two schools.

The relevant introduction of Zhang Huijun is very simple, the president of Nortel.

Several examiners laughed at the same time when they heard his name, and the male examiner asked, "Is there anything else?"

Xu Rong shook his head. He had heard of several names in class, but he was not sure, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense at this time.

"Okay, you can go."

Xu Rong left the examination room, but after thinking for a while, he knew what the problem was.

But it's a good thing for him.

According to the normal process, after the self-introduction in the first test, you will be asked to recite a prepared poem, followed by a simple inspection of vocal music and body.

But because he has filmed three movies and has a good image, the examiner probably thought that there was no need to investigate at all, and directly skipped these procedures.

As for filming experience, it is useful in the art test, but it is not absolute. Child actors are not uncommon in the art test.

Fortunately, a week later, the results of the initial test came out and passed.

Xu Rong looked at the remaining 2736 candidates, and he paid more and more attention to the next re-examination.

The next re-examination and three-examination are the real thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge.

According to the experience of previous years, there are generally about 300 people who pass the re-examination, that is, more than 90% of the candidates will be eliminated in the re-examination.

When it came to the third test, it was relatively better, but in any case, only 30 people were admitted in the end, and the admission rate was less than 1%.

The re-examination process returned to normal this time, including self-introduction, recitation, vocal music, body, and group performances.

Singing and dancing are Xu Rong's great weaknesses. In terms of vocal music, his ethnicity and bel canto are average, and his dancing and martial arts are even worse.

However, in the inspection of body and vocal music, he still performed meticulously according to the previous preparation.

According to the teacher of the training class, the result is very important, but the examiner is a person first, and they can feel the attitude of each candidate.

Moreover, the double C evaluation of lines and rhythm in the system is not a display. Among the candidates, Xu Rong felt that only one child actor named Yang Mi could watch the performance. Although the other candidates seemed to work hard, their performance was quite Heavy, like a child trying to imitate every move of an adult.

Although it was in the middle of the exam, Xu Rong couldn't help but had such an idea. It wasn't until then that he realized the embarrassment of other actors watching him act.

It's so amateurish.

Even so, after leaving the examination room, he was still quite uncertain. He felt that the rate of passing and elimination was between [-] and [-]. He could only hope that the examiner would give more points in the performance.

After waiting anxiously for a week after the retest, Xu Rong first heard the good news from student Zhang Rui.

"Teacher Xu, I have retested!"

Early in the morning, Xu Rong was woken up by a phone call. Hearing Zhang Rui's excited voice, his drowsiness disappeared immediately, and he quickly said, "Congratulations, Zhang Rui, I have something else to do, so let's not talk about it."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Rong immediately inquired about the results of the retest.

After finding the list on the official website, he opened his eyes wide and scrolled down from top to bottom, name by name, lest he accidentally miss himself.

As the serial number of the list gradually approached 300, he subconsciously held his breath, but his fingers began to tremble uncontrollably.
