Chapter 16: Born Like a Summer Flower
The second examination of the art examination, also known as the re-examination, compared to the large number of exams in order to maintain order can only be queued at the school gate to wait for the number, the number of people in the second examination is much less, and it is also arranged early to wait in the Chinese opera school.
For the enrollment of Chinese opera this time, almost most of the teachers were involved in the enrollment work, and this time Zhou Bai finally knew that the name of the teacher who was responsible for bringing them into the examination room was Hao Rong.
Twenty-five-year-old Hao Rong knows the mentality of most of these eighteen or nineteen-year-old candidates, and is very easy-going with the candidates, even making a little joke with them.
At that time, he also passed the art examination step by step and was admitted to Chinese opera, but Hao Rong, who was more interested in teaching and management, chose to stay in school to teach.
The second test is no longer as hurried as the first test, and the teachers can also take a breath, of course, some candidates will still be nervous in their hearts, after all, every step forward they will be one step closer to their goals.
"Teacher Hao, what song did you sing in the vocal music section during the previous art exam?" At the end of the team, Zhou Bai asked, his height was the highest among this group of students who entered the second examination, and a boy who was about the same height as him was also arranged at the back of the team.
"I sang "Kangding Love Song" back then, it was a miserable one, I was very nervous at the time, so it was out of tune, your foundation is much better than mine, just relax and sing well. Hao Rong replied with a smile, his tone was relaxed, and the latter part was not for Zhou Bai, but for the very nervous candidates in the team.
"Teacher Hao, don't you know, others ask for money for singing, but I sing for death. It's not out of tune at all, it's just out of tune, it's not that I'm worried that I can't sing well, I'm afraid that the teachers won't be able to stand it, so they all sing for me. Zhou Bai said quietly, his tone was very relaxed, so that the nearby candidates couldn't help laughing.
Others sing for money, he sings badly, this person is quite funny, a few candidates thought to themselves, in the future to use rotten words, in 96 is still very novel.
"Haha, that's a good dare, if you can sing the teachers away, you can be regarded as the first person in the history of Chinese opera. Hao Rong patted Zhou Bai on the shoulder and snorted, he wouldn't really think that Zhou Bai's singing was so bad, if it was really bad, it would be nervous.
This time Zhou Bai faced the exam with a relaxed and happy mood, and along the way, he was very natural Hao Rong talking, making some small jokes from time to time, and even slowly looking at the scenery on the campus of Chinese opera.
He really doesn't have any psychological burden, and it's useless to be nervous when he comes, just do what he wants.
Although Hao Rong didn't show anything on the surface, he sighed in his heart that this candidate is worthy of being the object of the Chinese opera teacher's key observation, whether it is image, talent, or even the mentality of the exam, he is much better than other candidates.
The buildings of the Chinese opera are not high, but the greenery of the campus is very good, although it is after a winter that the flowers and trees have not recovered, and the leaves have almost fallen off, but you can imagine what kind of scene it will be in summer.
……
The examination room for the second test has not changed this time, it is still the same room, but this time there seem to be several more teachers, as many as eight.
Fourteen candidates for the second examination, eight examiners, plus Hao Rong, he was responsible for controlling the camera to record this exam, a total of twenty-three people.
This time the exam has more time, the candidates are all coming one by one, and more than a dozen chairs are prepared around for them to sit on both sides, and the atmosphere seems to be much more casual.
This time there is a lot more interaction in the exam, and it is not so serious, of course, the discipline in the examination room must be observed, just don't disturb the exam of others, Wang Liya had a smile on her face when she said this.
Among the fourteen candidates, including Zhou Bai, Zeng Li and Liu Ye, who knew Zhou Bai, were not assigned to this examination room, and even Yuan Yu, who was close to each other, was not assigned here.
In some of the memory pictures of Li Mingyuan seen in Zhou Baimeng, there are several people who have had impressions among these candidates, such as the candidate named Wang Huijuan, it seems that her stage name is Juanzi in later generations, and she looks very beautiful in ancient costumes, and it seems that she will also be active in the entertainment industry in the future.
There is also a candidate named Qin Hao from Ludi, who is the buddy who looks about the same height as Zhou Bai, judging from the information obtained from Li Mingyuan's memory fragments, it should be that he was successfully admitted to Chinese opera this year, and later became a powerful actor, and even married a Wanwan star as his wife.
The biggest surprise is a slim and slender girl, she is the one with the highest achievement, the most brilliant star journey, and later a powerful Da Qingyi, her name is Mei Ting.
Meiting is very beautiful, this is Zhou Bai's first impression of Meiting, she is also dressed decently, she is not restrained along the way, she has communicated with the candidates and teachers together, and the expression on her face is very relaxed.
Maybe it's past the excitement period, or maybe it's because there will always be a sense of strangeness in the information you get from other people's memories, seeing the stars of later generations again, Zhou Bai's heart is very calm, except for looking at her a few more times because of the impression, he won't pay special attention to her, and there is no difference from others.
"Hello teachers, my name is Yang Lele, 19 years old this year, exam number 415, I am from Jiangbei District, Shancheng City, I am 1.68 meters tall, I have ...... since I was a child" The self-introduction and recitation session are together, the first to go on stage is a good-looking girl, hearing the name Zhou Bai feels quite familiar, as if he has heard this name somewhere, after carefully observing the girl, he vaguely remembered that in Li Mingyuan's memory fragments, this girl seems to be a host in the future, and her husband seems to be a very famous host in Xiangnan.
Yang Lele's recitation was a song "The Happiness of Snowflakes", which performed very well, and the teachers present also gave a lot of good comments, and she could be seen relieved.
"Hello teachers, my name is Mei Ting, 20 years old this year, exam number 540, home in Jinling City, Jiangning Province, 1.67 meters tall......"
Mei Ting's recitation is a poem "To the Oak Tree", and it is also a popular poem in the art exam, Mei Ting's performance is quite good, both emotion and skill can be described as excellent, at least Zhou Bai thinks so, of course, the teachers' reaction is also very good.
Zhou Bai's test number is considered to be the last in this batch of candidates, ranking tenth, and it took him almost an hour and a half later, but because the atmosphere was relatively relaxed, he didn't feel dull, and he had been observing the candidates and teachers in the same audience with great interest.
The teachers present did not put on a face, whether it was self-introduction and recitation, they were listening carefully, watching carefully, basically did not interrupt their words, and the candidates who were nervous when they saw them would also encourage two sentences, make a small joke to soothe his emotions, and after the end, they would point out the mistakes of the candidates, and then give their opinions.
When Zhou Bai stood up, the teachers present did not treat everyone specially, they all treated them equally, the process was basically the same, and the attitudes were all friendly.
Standing in the middle of the stage, Zhou Bai first showed a smile, bowed to the examiners, and then calmly spoke.
"Hello teachers, my name is Zhou Bai, I am 18 years old this year, my exam number is 666, I am 1.80 meters tall, I am from Kangcheng, a small coastal city in Guangdong and Guangzhou Province. I was an average high school student who never thought about taking an art exam before my junior year of high school, until I witnessed a car accident last fall that completely changed my mind. Zhou Bai said calmly.
The self-introduction of the second test is actually very casual, and candidates can also talk about their life experience and why they are participating in the art examination, of course, the time should not be too long.
"My academic performance has always been very good, and my parents also want me to enter Qingbei Double School, and I used to think that it would be good to listen to my parents' advice and study hard, so I can move forward step by step. But because of that car accident, I realized the impermanence of life, the preciousness of time, and the fragility and shortness of life, so I decided to follow the call of my heart to pursue my dream, I dreamed of becoming a great actor, so I signed up for the art exam. Zhou Bai said, couldn't help but bring a trace of excitement, and the fanaticism in his eyes was moving.
The teacher and classmates on the opposite side listened very carefully, several teachers also nodded in affirmation, and the candidates sitting next to them also agreed with Zhou Bai's words, many of them also like to perform, and they are working hard to pursue their dream of being an actor.
"I understand that success never happens overnight, and there are no shortcuts to your dreams. To become a great actor, I need the best teachers to guide me, and to study in the best performing arts school in China, the teachers here are undoubtedly the people who can give me the best guidance and the best education, which is why I came to the capital thousands of miles away and came here. ”
"The next poem I recited is an excerpt from Tagore's "Birds", I hope all teachers will give correct comments, thank you!"
