Chapter 72: Interesting Things in the Exam Hall

Liu Ye grew up in Changchun and had a natural Northeast accent when he spoke. When he said "3," it had a strong flavor, but he thought his Mandarin was very standard.

An examiner at the examiner's table heard Liu Ye's Northeast accent and began to correct his pronunciation: "It's 5, 4, 3. The tip of the tongue is flat."

Liu Ye repeated it several times like a repeater, but he didn't change it, which caused many candidates to laugh, but he didn't know at all where his pronunciation was not standard. The examiner simply waved his hand and gave up directly.

Then the examiner said: "Perform your literary talent."

Liu Ye immediately puffed out his chest, cleared his throat, and then said loudly:

"Teacher, I want to recite a poem, *Missing Home*!"

Then he stretched out his arm and recited: "Enlisting..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

An examiner interrupted him and asked with a frown:

"Didn't you recite this poem in your second round?"

At this time, another examiner also spoke:

"That's not right. He also recited this one in the first round!"

Suddenly, the whole audience looked at Liu Ye. Liu Ye's Adam's apple rolled. He had been lazy while preparing for the exam and only prepared one poem, thinking very beautifully that the examiners would be different in several rounds of exams, so one would be enough to cope. He hadn't expected to be exposed in the third round, making a big joke.

Many people laughed secretly again. Wu Yuchen also laughed while looking at Liu Ye; he hadn't expected Liu Ye to be so silly at this time.

However, Liu Ye was also honest. He gathered his courage and said loudly:

"Report to the teacher, I only prepared this one."

Several examiners looked at each other, and Chang Li spoke:

"Alright, then show your specialty."

Someone had already performed things like dancing, martial arts, opera, fitness exercises, etc. Liu Ye paused and said loudly again: "Teacher, I don't know anything, I only know how to play basketball!"

This caused the whole audience to laugh again. Many people felt that this guy was here to be funny.

Chang Li tapped the table again. After it quieted down, she said:

"Then perform a segment of you playing basketball."

If it were an ordinary person in Liu Ye's position, they would have had stage fright long ago, but he was truly big-hearted. Pretending there was a basketball in his hand, he kept dribbling, dodging, moving, laying up, and shooting in the field, performing quite decently.

After playing a round, Liu Ye returned to his original position and stood straight: "Report to the teacher, performance completed!"

Several examiners smiled, and then Teacher Chang let him go down.

Wu Yuchen felt that this trip was really not in vain; he saw many interesting things that happened during the art exam.

For example, when Dang Hao went up to show his literary talent, he took out a roll of newspapers from his arms and gave each examiner one, which confused the examiners. Then he lifted his chin and smiled:

"Teacher, I am a poet! This is my work published in the *Fushun Evening News*! Thank you!"

This left several examiners unable to laugh or cry. When the examiner asked him to show his specialty, Dang Hao was especially confident and walked to the examiner, taking out a small book from his arms and slapping it in front of the examiner:

"Teacher, this is my driver's license; I know how to drive!"

The examiner was angered into laughing and glared at him: "Get down!"

When it was Chen Minghao's turn, he took a guitar up and sang *Flower House Girl*. To be honest, he sang quite well at first, but just as he sang to the climax, there was a "twang" sound, and the guitar string broke. His song's sound effect got stuck at the climax and couldn't be sung anymore. Chen Minghao, who was originally in high spirits, wilted directly, plucking the five strings and turning red in the face, howling. This made the examiners frown, and finally, he came down dejectedly.

There was also a candidate who went up and was just like Liu Ye: "Teacher, I don't know anything else, I only know how to play dead!"

Before the examiner could react, he fell face-down on the ground with a "thud," which shocked the whole audience. Several examiners almost ran over to see if he was okay, but fortunately, he stood up quickly.

And Wu Yuchen also discovered an interesting thing: Zhao Wei's candidate number was 860, and immediately following her was Zhang Ziyi's 861. These two were really destined!

After everyone had shown enough, Zeng Li had also finished her IV and went up to perform a segment of the Peking Opera *Su San Under Escort*, which was naturally flawless and won the praise of Teacher Chang Li.

At this time, Chang Li suddenly asked Wu Yuchen: "That boy, what is your number?"

Wu Yuchen looked left and right, and after confirming that she was asking him, he said with a smile: "Teacher, I'm sorry, I'm not a candidate; I'm here to accompany her."

Upon hearing this, Chang Li felt a pity in her heart. This boy's appearance conditions were quite good. If it were the first round, she could have let him try. Now it was the third round, and it was impossible to give another opportunity, otherwise, it would be unfair to others. Seeing that he didn't affect the order of the exam, she didn't drive him away.

The last round of the third-round exam was group performance. Zeng Li and Chen Minghao were divided together. The theme they were assigned was "Conflict." Chen Minghao also had quite a few ideas, suggesting that he and Zeng Li act as a couple having a conflict and then arguing. Zeng Li expressed that she was sick and felt wronged, so she cried. Zeng Li readily agreed.

Wu Yuchen didn't intend to interfere at all. After all, this was someone else's exam; he didn't need to interject. Both of them could pass the exam.

What attracted Wu Yuchen's attention was the other pair beside him. Liu Ye and Zhao Wei, who were divided together, seemed to have a conflict.

Zhao Wei was a student at the Xie Jin Art School. Not only had she studied performance, but at this time, she had already participated in several films and served as the lead actress in a TV series.

She was the typical kind of person who only liked to play with those who were excellent and outstanding, and Liu Ye's performance just now, which was like a joke, made her look down on him completely.

"Liu Ye, let me tell you, let's do it like this later, you cooperate with me..."

Zhao Wei didn't say anything excessive, but as soon as she came up, she took it upon herself to use the tone of assigning tasks to tell Liu Ye how the two should perform later, with an overbearing posture.

Although Liu Ye had indeed made a joke just now, he was big-hearted and didn't feel at all that he couldn't do it. He was a bit unhappy about Zhao Wei's attitude, thinking you went to an art school, but I specifically found a teacher from the Central Academy of Drama to tutor me for three months. Why should you teach me?

"No, I don't agree! I think what you said is wrong..."

Just like that, others had already started rehearsing, but the two of them were still arguing here. By the time it was almost time, Zhao Wei didn't argue anymore and gave a light hum: "Let's improvise later."

Zhao Wei thought that with this guy's performance, she would suppress him during the performance later and see how he could pass!

"Then let's each perform our own!" Liu Ye wasn't afraid either.

As a result, after the two went on stage, they really each performed their own. Zhao Wei tried several times to let Liu Ye not be able to connect, but Liu Ye didn't take her bait at all and performed completely according to the story he designed, which made Zhao Wei's rhythm go off, and she performed poorly.

This scene really made Wu Yuchen want to laugh. This circle is big, but it's also small. These future stars have already had various grievances and intersections so early. ===== CHAPTER 73 =====
