Chapter 365: Returning to school and encountering an audition

Longcheng Film Academy.

Shen Li officially returned to school today and went to the teacher to cancel her "joining the group leave slip" early in the morning.

Among the batch of freshmen who entered the school last year, although her art exam ranking wasn't the best, her conditions belonged to the top batch, and her star path was smooth. Her first play was one of the leads. Even in the Film Academy, such freshmen with such a starting point were rare.

So the teachers at the school had a particularly deep impression of her and were very optimistic that she could shine in the entertainment industry as a freshman representative of the Film Academy.

"You've missed quite a few professional courses, but don't worry too much. Freshman year is all basic courses. The practical experience you gained in the crew is actually much more practical than what the school teaches you. You can regard those seniors in the crew as your teachers. If you can watch them perform a few more scenes on the spot, that's an opportunity many people can't ask for."

The counselor canceled her leave and said earnestly.

Shen Li stood there with a well-behaved appearance and nodded: "I understand, but I still want to make up for the missed lessons as soon as possible."

Seeing her eager to learn, and not arrogant or impatient even though her starting point was high and resources were good, the counselor was very gratified: "Returning to school is for learning. Just do your best. If you have any problems, communicate and report to the teacher in time."

"Okay, thank you teacher, then I'll go back to the dormitory first!"

The teachers in the office watched Shen Li's back leave the office almost in unison.

As soon as she left, they couldn't help but discuss.

"Zhang Laoshi, Shen Li's conditions are really good."

"She has star quality, she will be popular in the future."

"I think so too. She has the temperament of a 'pure jade girl' actress from the early days. The circle is quite lacking in this type now. The ones who emerge have similar faces and play styles, looking face-blind, can't remember a few."

Zhang Laoshi smiled and nodded: "That's not all. Mainly, I think this child's personality is relatively stable. She looks like a down-to-earth person, and her future won't be bad!"

Several teachers showed approving gazes. After all, they were professional teachers of the Film Academy. They were optimistic about a student at the same time, which showed that Shen Li was indeed relatively outstanding among this batch of freshmen.

Shen Li had just returned to the dormitory when she met Wang Chuhan, who was about to go out in a rush, as soon as she pushed the door.

"A-Li? You're back!"

"You're going out?" Shen Li blinked, a bit stunned.

Then she saw Wang Chuhan grab her hand: "There's an audition for a crew in the small theater, and I'm just about to go. Why don't you come with me?"

Shen Li realized and nodded. Although she didn't plan to join a group for the time being, she could accompany Chuhan to cheer her on.

When the two went downstairs, they found that many people in the girls' dormitory had gone out at the same time, clearly all rushing for the audition.

Wang Chuhan was originally quite excited, but seeing so many people competing together, she felt the pressure was huge in an instant.

"Don't worry, perform your own part, just do your best."

At this moment, Shen Li held her hand lightly, giving her some support and strength.

For Wang Chuhan at this moment, Shen Li's company was crucial. She also cheered herself up in her heart, it would be worth it even if she got the smallest extra role today!

Arriving at the small theater, Shen Li and Wang Chuhan found empty seats and sat down. Her appearance undoubtedly attracted many inquisitive gazes.

"Shen Li? She's back?"

"Heard yesterday she was back, is she coming to audition again?"

"Do you need to compete with us for these small roles after playing the lead?"

"Who doesn't want an opportunity? And when she auditioned for 'Tianming Weihuang' before, she also auditioned for a maid, but ended up getting the young lady's role!"

"Exactly, the thing called opportunity is very metaphysical, but the premise is that one must be active. If you aren't active, you will never have an opportunity."

Everyone had different thoughts, but most people felt Shen Li was here for the role.

Xu Zishan was no exception.

She arrived a bit late and sat in the second row from the back, able to see Shen Li sitting in the front row from afar.

Nowadays, her feelings for Shen Li weren't as pure as they were at the beginning. At first, she purely hated Shen Li and was jealous of Shen Li; all emotions were negative.

But after the incident in the crew, she did say thank you to Shen Li, and her gratitude was also real. If Shen Li hadn't helped her, she wouldn't know what would have happened that day.

It's just that the two completely contradictory emotions of gratitude and jealousy didn't complete the reconciliation in her heart, but existed separately like that.

Thinking of Shen Li's resources and conditions, she still felt jealous.

But thinking of Shen Li as a person, she felt grateful again.

In short...

It was very split!

"Shanshan, Shen Li is here too?"

A roommate on the side also heard people discussing Shen Li and couldn't help but subconsciously remind her. In the eyes of these friends, Shen Li was Xu Zishan's nemesis.

"So what if she's here? Can Shanshan be afraid of her?" Another roommate looked at Xu Zishan and flattered her: "Shanshan is now the popular figure of our freshman year, all auditions hit, and they are all very important roles. Is she any worse than Shen Li?"

Her words actually had no problem. Shen Li was away from school for a long time, and Xu Zishan was indeed very popular during this period. And speaking of acting alone, Xu Zishan was indeed good at acting.

But this classmate's tone was too arrogant, causing several people in the front row to turn their heads one after another.

One of them seemed unable to stand the other party's smug look and retorted disdainfully: "Do you want to get a megaphone and blow it all over the world?"

Hearing this, the person's face turned awkward, and she turned her head away embarrassedly.

Xu Zishan didn't speak, but her desire to win was ignited at this moment. This time, no matter what, she couldn't lose to Shen Li again.

She had to prove herself!

Before long, a school teacher took a microphone and walked to the stage of the small theater, patted the microphone, and said: "Students, there are a total of twelve roles for everyone to choose from today, seven female roles and five male roles. In a while, the screen will play the specific character settings and information of these twelve roles, and each role has a prescribed situation audition topic."

"Everyone uses your mobile phones to take pictures of these character information frame by frame and then look at them carefully. Choose the one you are confident in, and then you have twenty minutes to prepare. In a while, the teachers from the casting director group of the crew will conduct the audition selection for you personally. Everyone, come on!"

As the teacher finished speaking, the male students below were wailing.

"Ah? Why is it female-heavy and male-light again?"

"Exactly, last time there were ten girls and only three boys!"

"It was the same last time too. The boys are too rolled!"

"And it's either a guard or a follower, no fresh ones. Let me play a monk for once!"

"You can't play a monk, this is a modern drama!"
