Chapter 718: Fan Jin Passes the Exam (Part 2)

~13 min read 2,572 words

Very clearly, the idea of this little fresh meat's agent fell through.

Performing like this, not only did he not muddle through, but it directly made the audience scold their mothers.

If he were the first to go on stage, then the audience might have had a little patience.

After all, little fresh meats having poor acting skills is a status quo that everyone knows.

Having only a skin but no strength, yet the best resources were all occupied by them.

If there hadn't been Xu Shen, perhaps the second person couldn't have muddled through, but he wouldn't have been scolded so much.

But with Xu Shen's 'pearl and jade' in front, and hearing him tell about so many hardships before.

Seeing the performance of the second little fresh meat, the vast masses were already furious and started spraying directly.

"Please pay attention to the order of the exam room. It's not too late to say anything after the exam."

He You tapped the table lightly. Although he was also very angry at this little fresh meat's poor acting skills, as the chief examiner, he still couldn't be too emotional.

After hearing this, the exam room finally became quiet again.

And that fresh meat male artist, although his face was already flushed, still bit the bullet and completed both exams.

Although the business ability was indeed not up to standard, at least the psychological quality was relatively strong, and he didn't directly cover his face and leave.

But then again, being able to be an actor with such poor business ability, it really requires strong psychological quality.

The result also came out soon, without suspense, unqualified.

Actors have six levels, but as long as there is a level, no matter how low, it means that the acting skill is watchable.

But if it's unqualified, it means that they are not suitable for being an actor at all, or that they have no acting skills.

In this case, they can only get the salary of an extra level when filming in the future.

Although he had already guessed this result, the male artist's face still turned from red to white.

Among the fresh meat stars sitting beside him, many also showed expressions of 'rabbit dying and fox grieving'.

This might be the first actor to receive an official evaluation of unqualified, but it definitely wouldn't be the last.

A morning passed quickly. Among the fifty actors taking the exam, six had unqualified acting skills, and more than thirty had acting skills that only reached the sixth level.

Xu Shen's third level was the best result among all candidates so far.

After the exam came to a temporary end, he was also the happiest one among all the candidates.

As soon as he walked out the door, a large group of people came to congratulate him.

Even a few young people wearing duck-tongue caps and vests diligently handed over their business cards, saying they were from some economic company and hoped Xu Shen could learn about it.

Compared to when he came, Xu Shen was surrounded by stars when he left.

His appearance couldn't be called super handsome, but it was definitely the upper-middle level in the current entertainment industry.

After passing the actor rating, those little fresh meats who only had faces could no longer make money.

And male artists like Xu Shen, who have both faces and strength, would be the biggest sweet pastry.

Don't look at the fact that he doesn't have much fame yet; maybe after a hot search, he will become popular immediately.

In the internet era, this kind of thing is too common.

So, adhering to the principle of 'first come, first served', these agents and scouts all wanted to take down such a potential newcomer.

This scene was seen by Miss Luo Quan, and she was thoughtful.

Eating lunch, it was in the Jingying cafeteria.

Several girls sat at a table.

Su Yu and Wen Xia had already finished the exam, while Chunzi and Jiang Jiang Yuner were in the afternoon.

"How was the exam?" Miss Luo Quan asked everyone while eating.

"Both of us are third-level actors!" Wen Xia happily hugged Su Yu, laughing from ear to ear:

"This time I can be considered an extraordinary performance, the state is even better than when my acting was at its best.

However, I didn't expect that the rating standard this time would be so strict. Even with this performance, it's only third level, and so far there hasn't been a second-level actor."

"It's like this." Su Yu nodded, "At that time, seeing that I was only third level, I thought I performed very poorly.

As a result, after seeing other people's results, I found that it wasn't me who was poor."

Miss Luo Quan nodded with a smile: "Having results is a good thing, but don't compare who is worse; we should aim for breaking through ourselves."

"Don't worry, I guarantee to complete the task!" Su Yu and Wen Xia both made promises with bright smiles.

And Jiang Jiang Yuner and Chunzi, their expressions were relatively heavy.

Mainly because they, unlike Wen Xia and Su Yu, were not from a professional background. Although they had been self-studying, they didn't have teachers to guide them, and they didn't have systematic learning, so it was too difficult to polish their acting skills.

The two's singing and dancing levels were impeccable, but their talent in acting was still a bit worse.

However, Miss Luo Quan also gave them a trick, which was to consider integrating singing and dancing when performing.

After all, movies also have musical movies, and the requirements for actors' singing and dancing abilities are very high.

The two could also use this method to play to their strengths, thereby making up for their shortcomings.

The method was definitely a good one, but whether they could interpret it perfectly still depended on Chunzi and Jiang Jiang Yuner's on-the-spot performance.

Seeing that they were under so much pressure, Miss Luo Quan also patted their shoulders: "Don't put so much ideological pressure on yourself. The more you think, the easier it is to make mistakes.

Just play your normal level, and it doesn't matter what the final result is."

With Miss Luo Quan's comfort, Chunzi and Jiang Jiang Yuner also showed a little smile, not as serious as just now.

However, this kind of nervous emotion couldn't be relieved by just one or two sentences; the key point was still in themselves.

After eating, Miss Luo Quan returned to the classroom.

The afternoon exam would be held at 2:30.

It was almost one o'clock now, and Miss Luo Quan felt it was troublesome to take a car back to the hotel to take a nap and then come back.

Plus, her spirit was better than those old people in their forties, fifties, or sixties, and she didn't have any sleepiness now.

To pass the time, she borrowed a guitar from the music classroom on the second floor and then turned on the livestream.

As soon as the camera started, more than a dozen Jingying students entered the exam room.

"Miss Luo Quan, we are all your fans!"

A dozen men and women held notebooks and ballpoint pens in their hands, and what they wanted to do was all written on their faces.

"Then let's take a group photo with everyone first."

Miss Luo Quan would never be stingy with fans, and directly greeted everyone to come over and take a photo first.

There weren't many people, and after the group photo, Miss Luo Quan took a separate photo with each fan, and then signed her name.

After getting this done, Miss Luo Quan put her attention back to the livestream.

"Just met fans for a photo, so I didn't look at the camera much." Miss Luo Quan explained and looked at the comments.

"Luo Bao, are you at Jingying?"

"Must be, you're a judge today."

"By the way, how is the situation on the spot?"

"Is this kind of question something that can be said?"

"Should probably maybe roughly be no problem?"

………………

Facing the curiosity of the fans, Miss Luo Quan sighed long: "It's hard to say, but before the results come out, the actors themselves can reveal it, but as a judge, I can't say."

Speaking of this, she was silent for a while, and then opened her mouth again: "To be honest, this invigilation brought me quite deep feelings.

I don't know how to say it, but it gave me inspiration for singing. I'll sing a song here, and everyone can experience it for themselves."

Originally, she was going to use this guitar to pass the time, but it just happened to be a show for the fans.

As soon as she finished speaking, Miss Luo Quan's fingers hooked the strings, playing a relaxed and playful intro.

Hearing this pleasant melody, many fans shook their heads and stretched their necks.

Miss Luo Quan's songs are always like this; they can grab the listeners' hearts as soon as they come up, and the more they listen, the more they feel. (ps. Search 'Fan Jin Passes the Exam' on Bilibili, original singer Gua Zhe Ling Feng, can't search normally, need to filter by most played.

Can be searched directly on NetEase Cloud.)

"The coarse cloth clothes on the body cover the tightened waistband,

Unknowingly at the desk, the sun has climbed to the tree top,

The wind leaking into the empty house carries the ridicule of the neighbors,

The only old hen also has a grass label on it..."

The originally relaxed atmosphere became heavy as Miss Luo Quan opened her mouth.

Many people felt that the content of these lyrics was familiar, but they couldn't remember it for a while.

And the high school students with better memories already knew that the content Miss Luo Quan sang came from 'Fan Jin Passes the Exam' in the Chinese textbook.

Singing this song as the college entrance exam approaches is indeed a bit ironic.

However, Miss Luo Quan also said before singing that she was inspired by the actor rating exam today, and it had nothing to do with other things, letting the listeners not let their imagination run wild.

However, after Miss Luo Quan's lazy and scattered singing voice continued, everyone had new realizations.

"The whole world is like a pyramid, covering us,

Someone is high above, and I am just the material for operation,

The scholar entering his sixties, constantly climbing and using up half a life,

Gradually physically exhausted, falling by the roadside, on the back of a five-flower horse, someone sighs..."

Miss Luo Quan curled her lips, her tone contained disdain, while the lyrics appeared quite miserable.

And such misery made many listeners produce an extremely strong sense of déjà vu, as if it happened around them or on themselves.

So, listening to it in the ear, it was so shocking that it made people's hair stand on end.

However, this was just a beginning.

"If this is the fate of the common people, my Ming Dynasty has boundless territory,

But it is drifting and cannot find a foothold to settle down..."

Miss Luo Quan's lips were fast, and this string of lyrics that made people couldn't help but gasp in cold air, both crazy and sad, was clearly transmitted to the listeners' ears.

Cadence, weighing a thousand pounds.

It pressed heavily in the heart, making everyone couldn't help but tighten their eyebrows.

At first, they only thought this was a music with a relaxed melody, but they didn't expect that under the relaxed melody, there were such spicy and heavy lyrics.

Obviously talking about Fan Jin, but everyone felt that they found their own shadow in it.

Especially this sentence, it is simply every word is a pearl, making people couldn't help but applaud!

"I am that Fan Jin who passed the exam,

Look at how much joy I should have,

I am that Fan Jin who is a bit crazy,

My life has a few turning points..."

In the first chorus, Miss Luo Quan sang softly, so gently.

In the second chorus, it suddenly became sharp, as if like Fan Jin who passed the exam, he had lost his mind, appearing so crazy.

This, probably, is the difference between ideal and reality.

Through two completely different treatments, Miss Luo Quan outlined the dream and the truth for the listeners.

The song ended, and the dense comments had become much sparser.

Different from the sadness and pain when listening to 'Kokoronashi', listening to 'Fan Jin Passes the Exam' was a kind of deep powerlessness and depression.

It's just that you clearly know who is being sung in the song, but you don't know how to change it at all.

After singing, Miss Luo Quan played the strings lightly, and the fans in the livestream finally started to speak:

"I never expected that this song would be so heavy."

"Realistic subjects have always been like this, Miss Luo Quan's lyric skill has improved again."

"Didn't you say you don't like sad works? Why is this song so heavy when listening to it (laugh-cry)"

"Although it's very good, it's really uncomfortable. It's not even 'pain and happiness', it's just being sullen."

"Can't say that. As a responsible singer, you can't just sing love songs about men and women. This kind of subject should also be involved.

To put it bigger, this is called literary backbone."

"The song is definitely a good song, but I feel it won't be popular."

………………

The comments were arguing, and Miss Luo Quan opened her mouth: "Don't think of me as so great. Actually, I just had insights from some things I saw just now and sang them out.

Although the lyrics of this song are full of accusations and dissatisfaction, I also want to tell everyone that as long as you work hard and fight, you still have a chance to succeed.

And as long as you succeed, you can also get the earth-shaking treatment like Fan Jin in the song."

When Miss Luo Quan said these crooked truths, her heart was always scratching her ears.

Pure heaviness is not her favorite style.

Accompanied by encouragement and hope, she felt that it might be more effective.

Of course, smart fans also knew that Miss Luo Quan couldn't bear to be sad to the end.

Many of her previous works were actually like this, and what she said to everyone during the livestream was also mainly encouraging.

Just like what she had always told the outside world, she always liked comedy, a world full of happiness and hope.

But the real world is definitely not so beautiful, and unfairness in reality is almost everywhere.

Everyone understands this.

Everyone understands even more that they are powerless to change the status quo.

But at least, there is such a star as Miss Luo Quan who is willing to sing out this phenomenon.

After singing, she will encourage everyone.

At this moment, the fans finally understood Miss Luo Quan's gentleness.

Many who followed her late didn't understand why they said Miss Luo Quan was very 'Yasaxi', clearly so manly and so fierce.

Now, everyone understands. ===== CHAPTER 719 =====

Many fans who followed her later didn't understand why people called Miss Luo Quan "gentle," given that she was so manly and fierce.

Now, everyone understands.
