Chapter 39: The Art Examination (1)
Chang Jihong is a busy man, declined the invitation to dinner, hurriedly said goodbye after the matter was discussed, and when he left, he deliberately took out a book from his bag and handed it to He Xindao: "This is a new work by Teacher Haiyan, you can read it." ”
He Xin took it and took a look, the black cover, a red ribbon wrapped around the three big white characters "Jade Guanyin"!
After sending Chang Jihong away, Hao Rong took the book in his hand and flipped through it, and said: "Oh, it turned out to be this one, which was serialized in "Beijing Youth Daily" not long ago, I read a few chapters intermittently, and it was very wonderful. ”
As he spoke, he reminded again: "Sister Hong asked you to read this book, it must not be untargeted. Hai Yan has collaborated with Haiyan in "Never Look Away" before, and this time maybe they will cooperate again, you have to do your homework in advance. ”
Of course, He Xin knows that as a TV series that was broadcast during the special period of the outbreak and epidemic of respiratory infectious diseases, he had watched all the episodes. This TV series caused quite a stir back then, and later became the wife of a certain funny little fat man, and it became an instant hit.
It's still early, and the two of them continue to drink tea, after all, a pot of eighty yuan is the best Tieguanyin, don't waste it!
However, after drinking a cup of tea, Hao Rong still couldn't help but say: "What did you think just now, is it just for that point? Let me tell you, signing a contract with Hai Yan will be more beneficial to your future development." ”
"I still want to make movies more. He Xin hesitated a little and said.
"Hey, your kid's ambition is not small! But you don't want to think about it, although Haiyu Company is currently focusing on TV dramas, it will always transform into movies in the future, just like Huayi, it was an advertising company at the beginning, then a TV series, and now a movie, all step by step. ”
He Xin shook his head, because he knew that Hai Yan had never made any decent movies in the end, and even if it was Huayi, it would not go downhill in the future.
......
"Ha, do you really want to take the test for our Chinese opera?" Cheng Hao looked surprised.
"Then there are fake names. Come on, eat, this is a good fried double crispy. He Xin picked up chopsticks and clamped a piece of pork belly for her.
During this time, Renyi has been busy rehearsing new dramas, and she doesn't even rest on weekends, and today is rare to be free, He Xin pulled her to eat at a restaurant near Jiaodaokou. The last time Hao Rong and Li Mengnan invited him to dinner, it was here, and this restaurant is characterized by the flavor of Shandong cuisine, and the taste is quite good.
That day, he originally said that he would think about it, but in a blink of an eye, Hao Rong blew out in front of Chang Jihong, so there was nothing to consider, and he took the test.
Fortunately, junior college students don't need to go back to their hometown to take the formal college entrance examination, just take the adult college entrance examination in Beijing. And Hao Rong privately revealed to him that he had reported to the leader about letting him take the exam, and the leader nodded. After all, the advanced class cannot be regarded as a Chinese opera student in the real sense, and now he has the award of Best Newcomer at the Berlin Film Festival.
In other words, the art examination is a formality, as long as his performance is not too bad, it is basically no problem to pass the art examination, not to mention that Hao Rong is one of the examiners in the art examination this year. Besides, He Xin's entrance examination is a junior college class, and the requirements are much lower than those of the undergraduate class.
Coming to the capital to go to school, Cheng Hao also had a rare taste of the flavor of his hometown, tasted the fried crispy pork belly, nodded and praised: "Well, it's very delicious." ”
But while eating, he couldn't help laughing and said, "So, you have really become my little junior brother." ”
"That's right, sister, try this fish fillet again. ”
What kind of senior sister and junior brother, He Xin doesn't care at all, anyway, in terms of age, Cheng Hao is still a year older than him.
In fact, he thought about it carefully afterwards, and it felt good. In the refresher class for more than half a year, although his studies were intermittent due to filming delays, he learned a lot after all, and his voice and table have made significant progress. It's just that because of the one-year system, the courses are condensed and can't be expanded, and many things are not explained. Studying for another two years of junior college is equivalent to filling up the half-hung ink in his stomach now.
Regarding He Xin's entrance examination, as an outstanding student cadre of Chinese opera, Cheng Hao expressed strong support, and even helped him decompose the process of the art examination in detail and some tips he summarized as a person who came over, and then wished him a smooth art examination.
As for He Xin's talk about not choosing Haiyu Company, but signing a personal brokerage contract with Chang Jihong, he fully respected his own opinions and did not express his own evaluation too much.
Instead, he told him that an actor in Renyi had originally decided to star in Zhang Guoshi's new movie, but it was because of the new drama in the theater this time that he had to give up this rare opportunity. Showing that tying yourself to a unit is not necessarily a good thing for actors.
This year's art examination is a little later than in previous years, and the preliminary examination of the acting department is scheduled for March 2. Because Hao Rong specially arranged a front test number, He Xin rushed to the school at seven o'clock in the morning. But as soon as he turned into Dongmian Hutong, he was suddenly startled by the scene in front of him.
The small alley is full of people!
In the new century, the number of people applying for art academies has increased year by year, and although it is not like tens of thousands of candidates who applied for the Chinese opera and Nortel examinations in more than a decade now, there are more than 3,000 candidates who have applied for the Chinese opera performance department this year.
A total of 300 students were admitted in the initial examination, and the elimination ratio has reached 10:1, and then the re-examination and the third examination finally admitted only 30 places in the undergraduate class, and the acceptance rate is as high as 100:1.
With the development of the times, more and more children have started to dream of stardom, which is probably the same reason as the people's growing yearning for a better life.
......
He Xin's initial examination went very well, reciting a Gorky "Haiyan" that was about to rot in the previous art exams, and in terms of physical fitness, he played a set of juvenile long boxing that he learned in physical education class when he was in junior high school in his previous life. This kind of routine Changquan, which basically has no actual combat function, is usually used to exercise the body, and it is good to use every move and style.
During the re-examination, there was an improvisational performance, which was often practiced in the refresher class, and He Xin had already mastered it, and improvised a sketch of "Winter Swimming" on the spot.
It is assumed that in the cold season, a person who wants to swim in winter is confidently preparing for sports, he runs, does exercises, and practices a few strokes of juvenile long boxing. After preparing for the exercise, he took off his clothes and went into the water, but when he tested the water with his feet, it was cold and biting, and he hesitated. I mustered up the courage to jump down several times, but I didn't have the courage to jump down, and finally I had to put on my clothes and walk away.
With the help of this vivid sketch, he successfully entered the final three tests. There are only a few dozen candidates left in the three exams, which is the focus of the art exam, and the sound stage and table must be tested.
Singing is He Xin's weakest one, but fortunately, the vocal lessons in the refresher class allowed him to overcome the problem of always losing his voice, and sang a song "How Can You Bear Me Sad" that he practiced countless times when filming "Lan Yu", although the voice is still not very beautiful, but it is better than the sincerity of emotion, which can be regarded as barely passing.
Finally, there is the proposition performance, the proposition performance of Chinese opera, which is different from other art examinations, the examiner asks questions on the spot, and the candidates temporarily match, and the candidates have almost no time to think. It is said that this is mainly to see the candidate's imagination, understanding, expressiveness, passion and adaptability.
This is very difficult, the candidates who can enter the third test are not too different in terms of vocal music, lines and shape, and the last one who can be admitted is to open the gap with the candidates who failed in the proposition performance.
"No. 5 He Xin, No. 22 Zhang Xinyi, the two of you are in a group, this is the topic. ”
While waiting for the venue, the teacher will send the next set of proposition performance questions, and there will be about a few minutes of preparation time.
Lined up behind He Xin, the girl who was tall, dark-skinned, with exam number 22, and called Zhang Xinyi, was because He Xin looked at her a few more times before, and she was blinded by the other party, but she didn't expect the two to be drawn to perform together, and the title was "Couples Who Used to Love Meet Again"
