Chapter 75: 402

Liu Yifei also arrived the day after Chen Nuo arrived. This time, it wasn't just her and Liu Nushi. Not only did her agent Chen Jinfei follow her closely, but she also brought several assistants, as well as makeup artists, stylists, bodyguards, etc., all to protect her from the interference of reporters.

With a dozen or so people bustling about, Liu Yifei walked wherever they followed.

Surrounded by people, it was very glorious. Those reporters, fans following the play, or tourists watching the fun on Mount Yandang couldn't get within three meters of her at all.

At the same time, the finals stage of the 2005 Super Girl, which was recorded in history, began.

But Chen Nuo was only nervous about one thing: his college entrance exam results.

June 26, 2005, was the day when the college entrance exam scores in Sichuan Province could be checked.

Chen Nuo received the news right after he finished shooting and finished work that day. He locked himself in the room and dialed the score-checking phone nervously.

Yu Min happened to come over at this time. He originally wanted to find Chen Nuo to chat about the next day's scenes, but as soon as he got out of the elevator and passed the corner, he saw a pile of people standing in the corridor.

At a glance, Yang Mi who played Guo Xiang, Wang Luoyong who played Guo Jing, Chen Zihan who played Guo Fu, Kong Lin who played Huang Rong, and others were all there, as well as other staff members, leaning against the wall, gathering in groups, chatting and laughing about something happy.

"What are you all doing?" Yu Min's curiosity came up. Usually, after work, everyone was tired and basically rested in their own rooms, and would never gather and run around.

Seeing the director coming, everyone turned around one after another. Kong Lin smiled and said: "I heard from Teacher Luoyong that the college entrance exam scores in Sichuan came out today and can be checked. Everyone came over to ask how Little Chen did, but he drove us all out and locked the door, wanting to check it by himself."

When Yu Min heard this, he also laughed, "Scores out today? No wonder I saw him a bit absent-minded when shooting these days. I was going to come over and ask if something happened, but I didn't expect it was because of this. How long has he been in? How much did he check?"

"Not long, just drove us out."

"We said we would check with him, but he didn't want to, haha."

"It's all agreed, as long as he scores over 400, he will treat everyone to a late-night snack."

"I saw his hands shaking just now, haha, too funny."

Everyone was smiling, seeming to treat this matter as some kind of interesting talk, all saying that Chen Nuo had been obsessed with the college entrance exam scores these days, making the whole crew know, all saying that the biggest concern of Yang Guo now was not that the auntie was missing, but whether the college entrance exam could score 400.

Chen Zihan was careful and saw Yang Mi standing on the side with an unnatural smile, and immediately thought of something, opening her mouth to ask: "Hey, Little Yang, are you also taking the exam this year? Did you check?"

Everyone turned their heads to look over one after another.

Wang Luoyong asked in surprise: "Little Yang is also taking the college entrance exam this year?"

Yang Mi nodded, "Right."

"Did you check the score?"

"How much did you score?"

"Little Yang is a Beijing household registration, definitely no problem."

"Not just household registration, smart and clever Little Guo Xiang, definitely scored better than the silly Yang Guo."

Facing everyone's praise, Yang Mi suppressed her smile and said indifferently: "Actually, it's okay. My dad said I didn't perform well, but I think it's okay. Anyway, my professional course score is second, so I can get into the Film Academy. Chen Nuo is actually more amazing than me; he was the first in professional scores."

At this time, Liu Yifei and her party happened to finish dinner and come up. This time they were still living on the same floor as Chen Nuo, and they were still two different directions.

Hearing the noise in the opposite corridor, Liu Nushi asked curiously: "Why is it so noisy, what are they chatting about?"

Chen Jinfei said: "It seems that Chen Nuo's college entrance exam scores came out today, and those people in the crew are waiting to see the joke."

Liu Nushi asked in surprise: "What joke?"

Chen Jinfei said: "I heard his grades are very poor, and he might not even score 400. This score can't even get into a junior college in China."

Liu Yifei didn't hear the conversation between the two, and after entering the room, she buried her head in her phone and pressed text messages.

"How much did you score? Did you check it out?"

Click send, recipient Chen Nuo.

After a while, the text message came.

"Out, 402!"

"Amazing:)"

"Thank you~:)"

Chen Nuo checked this score of 402 very quickly. But he didn't go out to notify those people in the crew immediately, because he had to report the good news to his parents, to his teachers, and to the whole country... no, also to Xia Yehe.

From now on, Chen Nuo could walk with his head held high wherever he went and say he was a student of the Beijing Film Academy. On this day, he finally changed his destiny from his previous life.

Pan Chengrong almost cried with joy on the phone, and Chen Bicheng also laughed loudly.

Chen Nuo heard his mother's voice stuttering with happiness, and Chen Bicheng calling loudly, asking the accountant to arrange it, to celebrate the boss's son getting into university, and to give all employees a 500-yuan bonus today.

He knew that some things from his previous life should not happen again.

Li Er was also very happy.

Although Qi Yuntian had been telling her that Chen Nuo was really working hard and would definitely get in. But if the score didn't come out for a day, she wouldn't feel at ease. Now receiving Chen Nuo's call, she knew she could report to the school that China's first Berlin Best Actor came from the Beijing Film Academy.

After notifying all his friends and relatives, and replying to some text messages, including Liu Yifei, Chen Nuo opened the door and announced loudly that he would treat everyone to late-night crayfish tonight.

That night, the *Return of the Condor Heroes* crew went crazy with 100 catties of crayfish. The next day, including the director, they were collectively late and started work 15 minutes late.

But Chen Nuo was in a good mood, and his acting was like a god's help, exerting 120% of the technology of shooting short videos in his previous life, which surprised Yu Min and called it wonderful repeatedly. The work-finishing time was not only not delayed, but advanced by half an hour.

"Nuo-ge, you are now on the honor roll of our vocational high school, the top of the list. I'm not, 249 points."

Chen Nuo sat on the bus after work and talked to Wang Zhihan on the phone. Hearing what the other party said, he couldn't help but chuckle and said: "Almost 250, not bad."

After notifying all his friends and family and replying to a few text messages—including one to Liu Yifei—Chen Nuo opened the door and loudly announced that he was treating everyone to crayfish that night.

That night, the *Return of the Condor Heroes* crew went wild on a hundred pounds of crayfish. The next day, everyone, including the director, was late, and work didn't officially start until fifteen minutes behind schedule.

But Chen Nuo was in a great mood; his acting felt divinely inspired, utilizing 120% of the short-video filming techniques from his past life. He shocked Yu Min, who kept exclaiming how brilliant it was, and instead of delaying the wrap time, they actually finished half an hour early.

"Brother Nuo, you're already on the honor roll at our vocational high school, right at the very top. I'm not so lucky—I only got 249 points."

Chen Nuo was sitting on the shuttle bus after wrapping up, talking on the phone with Wang Zhihan. Hearing what the other said, he couldn't help but chuckle and say, "Just one point shy of 250, that's not bad at all."
