Chapter 41: Preliminary Exam

The poem Chen Nuo prepared was "Saying Goodbye to Cambridge Again," which was chosen for him by a female professor surnamed Li in the acting department of the Film Academy. What she wanted was standard, neither biased nor partial.

"With your conditions, there is no need to show off in the preliminary exam, you just need to prevent accidents." A certain professor surnamed Li said so.

When Chen Nuo recited "Saying Goodbye to Cambridge Again" according to the techniques learned in the lines class, Li Er was expressionless, as if it was the first time she heard him recite this poem. Before he could finish reciting this masterpiece, just as the first paragraph ended, she interrupted him with a serious expression: "Alright, examinee number one, you stop here. Next."

Chen Nuo then thanked the teachers for listening again, then retreated to the side, sat with other examinees who hadn't taken the preliminary exam yet, and waited for the exam to end before retreating together.

Chen Nuo didn't pay much attention to the situation in the exam room next, he was thinking about how Zhang Yi and the others were doing in Berlin now.

Zhang Yi and Li Xiaotian had been in Germany for more than half a month, and there was no news at all. Chen Nuo sincerely hoped that this work would have a way for Zhang Yi and the others to recover their costs, and it would be best to earn some money, otherwise, filming a movie until they were bankrupt would be too miserable. But could they really mix some award? Chen Nuo was not optimistic. Because what did Zhang Yi and the others have? Connections, money, publicity... besides the film in their hands, they had nothing.

Most likely to fail.

Chen Nuo was quite worried that the two of them would jump into the Rhine River.

Chen Nuo felt that why would the domestic film industry enter the traffic era comprehensively in the future, would it have something to do with filmmakers like Zhang Yi losing all their family assets and dying?

Those experimental, social, and pioneering art filmmakers were almost all dead. Twenty years later, there were still the same few directors filming art films, almost no newcomers appeared. As for the rest, they were all commercial blockbuster producers with traffic as king. Although survival of the fittest was not wrong, but would it be too monotonous?

Chen Nuo didn't discover that his way of thinking was becoming more and more like a professional filmmaker.

He was thinking wildly, when suddenly someone said in a low voice beside him: "I think you have no chance."

Chen Nuo froze, tilted his head slightly. It was the examinee number two sitting beside him. This boy looked very sweet, his hair was long, his eyes were big, his face was hairless, beautiful and tender. Twenty years later, this type was called a little fresh meat.

Chen Nuo didn't speak, glanced at him, and then turned his head back.

Number two showed a trace of proud smile, and continued to say in a low voice on the side: "When you recited the poem, I watched, the chief examiner didn't even smile."

Chen Nuo felt even more that this person was inexplicable.

Is it a good thing for Li Er to smile?

He had known Li Er for so long, the only time he saw her smile happily seemed to be in Chen Kexin's office, when that President Liu was arguing with her face to face. She smiled quite happily at that time, and after coming down, she sprayed people until they were bloody.

Seeing that Chen Nuo didn't speak, examinee number two felt even happier in his heart. His hostility towards Chen Nuo came very simply and directly. Because according to the exam number, he was number two, Chen Nuo was number one, he had been standing next to Chen Nuo, and then he discovered that the girls among the examinees in their batch all glanced at Chen Nuo intentionally or unintentionally, and none of them came to look at him, which made him very unhappy.

Number two felt that he still had to work harder, continue to strike at the other party, so he said again: "At that time, the lines teacher also shook her head."

She is not called the lines teacher. She is surnamed Zhang, 28 years old, graduated from graduate school not long ago, stayed at the school as a lecturer, just broke up with her boyfriend, her favorite snack is the old-fashioned seaweed small shell outside the north gate. I went to buy it for her three times.

Number two became more and more excited, "I think the body teacher also has a lot of opinions about you. She has been looking at your feet, did you stand a bit pigeon-toed just now?"

Teacher Gao was not looking at my feet, she was looking at my flat shoes. These shoes were bought for me by her during the training class, saying that the soles of this brand are soft and don't smell, and besides training, they are also good to wear usually. At that time, I gave her money and she didn't want it, and finally I brought her breakfast for almost a week. "You must be finished." Number two smiled very proudly, "Actually dared to choose 'Saying Goodbye to Cambridge Again', haha, simply ridiculous. Do you know what I chose? Neruda, have you heard of it? What the Film Academy needs is hard power, understand?"

Chen Nuo nodded silently in his heart.

Indeed, hard power is needed.

The exam process proceeded very quickly, number two had been buzzing in his ear, but it didn't take long, their batch of 20 people all finished the preliminary exam.

Before, the male exam staff greeted them to line up to leave the field.

At this time, a male teacher who had been standing behind the camera stood out and suddenly said: "Examinee number two, you stay."

Number two stopped his steps, looked at the other party's serious face, and froze suddenly: "Teacher, what's wrong?"

The male teacher said: "I watched you for almost 30 minutes, you have been talking almost the whole time. Don't you know that our exam room is forbidden to whisper? Don't you know that your talking will affect other people's exams? When the exam staff brought you into the field, didn't they tell you in advance? I also noticed that the examinee number one next to you didn't respond to you once. Why can others do it to follow the rules, but you can't? According to Article 8, Section 7 of the Film Academy Admissions Manual, I, as the discipline supervisor teacher of this exam room, now formally notify you that your exam results are canceled."

Number two was stupid, stuttering and saying: "Tea, teacher, I didn't mean it, I really didn't know, can you give me another chance?"

That male teacher said indifferently: "Yes. Next year."

When Chen Nuo walked out of the exam room, he saw Yang Mi already waiting for him outside. Before they separated, they agreed that whoever finished the exam first would wait for the other here, and then go home together.

Chen Nuo saw Yang Mi standing there with a smiling look, knowing she did well in the exam.

Seeing him come over, Yang Mi was about to say something, when her eyes looked behind Chen Nuo, surprised: "Eh, is someone crying in your exam room? Did I hear wrong?"

Chen Nuo turned his head and took a look, then said nonchalantly: "Didn't hear wrong, there was a person talking during the exam, seems to have been canceled the exam qualification by the teacher."

Yang Mi was shocked, wow, "Really, there is such a person? What kind of big disease does his brain have? Doesn't he know he can't talk? Why didn't anyone remind him?"

Chen Nuo said: "I reminded him, I gave him a look at the time, but he didn't care. Maybe he was too confident in his hard power. By the way, how did you do?"

Yang Mi laughed, "I think it's quite good. Forget it, let's go, let's go eat."
