Entertaining Children

The admissions process of art colleges is different from that of ordinary colleges and universities. In addition to the college entrance examination, students must pass the professional examinations of these schools before they can be admitted to such schools. These art colleges generally begin to accept student registration after the spring of the college entrance examination year, and hold their own professional examinations three or four months before the college entrance examination. Candidates will receive admission letters from these schools only if they have passed the school's professional examination first, and their cultural performance in the college entrance examination in the subsequent year meets the school's requirements.

In this world, the three schools of Yanjing Film Academy, Huaxia Academy of Drama, and Shanghai Academy of Drama are basically equivalent to Nortel, Chinese Opera, and Shanghai Opera in the world where Xiao Yao lived in his previous life. It is also the trend of two north and one south forming a tripartite confrontation, and they are the three cradles for China to train performing arts professionals.

Most of the professional exams of these three film and television colleges have to go through three rounds, and each round of exams will eliminate a large number of students. Only those who pass the so-called "three exams" can be considered as passing the professional exams for this major.

The professional examination of Shencheng Theater Academy is scheduled from the end of March to the beginning of April. Due to the large number of applicants, the limited space and time, the examination time of different majors is staggered, so each major There will be a few days between each round of exams, and if a person wants to complete all three rounds of exams, it usually takes about half a month.

The professional examinations of each art college are uniformly conducted in the school, but the place of registration is not limited to the registration office of the school. In addition to submitting registration materials and applications through the Internet, many colleges and universities will also be in major universities across the country. The city sets up enrollment registration points.

Shencheng Academy of Drama has set up an enrollment registration point in Yanjing, and Xiao Yao also registered through the registration point of Shencheng Academy of Drama in Yanjing. It was not until two days before the professional examination at the end of March that Xiao Yao set off for the application city.

Every year during the professional exams of the Academy of Film and Television, the business of restaurants and hotels near the school is unimaginably booming. The relatively well-known film and television colleges have an annual enrollment of less than a thousand people, but the number of candidates who apply for the exam is more than 10,000. With so many candidates, together with accompanying relatives and friends, the area near the school can be easily surrounded by water. Many candidates' families arrived one month or even longer before the exam, and only found a place to live near the school. Candidates who come later can only live farther away from the school, and then have to travel back and forth between the school and the residence in the crowded public transportation in Shanghai.

Xiao Yao naturally has no worries about this. From the moment he stepped out of Shanghai Airport, Lin Qisan had contracted Xiao Yao's accommodation and transportation during the exam. Because Lin Qisan also applied for the Shencheng Drama Academy this year, he, the boss of Shencheng, has a lot of ways to solve this problem.

Among all the majors, the performance department is the one with the largest number of applicants and the lowest admission ratio. It is said that the number of applicants for the Acting Department of Shencheng Drama Academy this year is close to 10,000, but the number of admissions for this major is only around 50, which is almost 200 to 1.

This shows how fierce the competition in this profession is. And Xiao Yao and Lin Qisan applied for the exam, and they both happened to be from the acting department of Shanghai Drama Academy.

However, Xiao Yao and Lin Qisan did not feel too nervous about this. After arriving at the examination room of Shencheng College early in the morning on the day of the performance department to receive the admission ticket, the two people waiting for the examination gathered together. Search and comment on the beauties in the candidate team together.

Among the thousands of candidates who applied for the performance department, the ratio of girls to boys is about eight to two, and except for some weird ones who come for special actors, most of them are candidates who have a certain degree of confidence in their appearance. I came to apply for the Department of Acting, so there are quite a lot of beauties among this group of people.

"The exam room is divided!" With the shout of several sharp-eyed candidates in the crowd, everyone looked at the dozen or so young people who came out of the teaching building of the acting department. Anyone who knows a little bit about the professional examination of Shencheng Academy of Drama knows that these ten or so young people are all old students of the acting department of Shanghai Academy of Drama, and they are the future senior brothers and sisters of the dozens of lucky ones in their group.

"Everyone, be quiet!" A leading-looking boy stood on the steps of the entrance of the teaching building with an electronic loudspeaker and shouted to the examinees below.

"The performance department of Shencheng Drama Academy is about to start. Now we will divide the examination room!" Seeing that the candidates below were obedient and quickly quieted down, the boy shouted in satisfaction, "Today's examination will be divided into ten examination rooms. Everyone, please check the number of the test room marked on your admission ticket first, and then follow my introduction and go outside the designated test room to wait for the roll call test. We will have someone to guide you there. If you don’t know the location of the test room, follow along. The members of the team can leave. Do you understand?"

"Understood." The candidates in the audience shouted one after another.

"It seems that we are going to separate soon." Xiao Yao said to Lin Qisan with a smile, "I hope that both of us can pass the test today!" Both of them know the exam process and rules, and they have read it a long time ago. According to the test room number on the admission ticket, Xiao Yao is in test room 2, and Lin Qisan is in test room 5. They will definitely not be together when the test comes. It's just that they don't know which specific examination room is arranged in which location, so they can only gather with other candidates and wait.

"That's for sure!" Lin Qisan smiled confidently, "If we can't win even one try, how can we have the face to go home to see my father and your mother, and there is Shitou, I'm afraid we can't even lift our heads in front of him Woke up."

"Examination Room 1, Room 201, Teaching Building, Faculty of Arts!" The boy standing on the steps with a loudspeaker shouted, "Candidates in Exam Room 1, please follow this one!"

After the boy with the loudspeaker finished shouting, a long-haired girl next to her held up a large wooden sign that said "Examination Room 1, Teaching Building 201, Faculty of Arts" on it, as if signaling to the candidates in the audience After shaking, he turned and walked towards another building in the school. Soon, a large group of people came out from the group of candidates, and followed them with a whoosh.

"Then there is Exam Room 2, Room 103, Comprehensive Teaching Building, Academy of Chinese Opera!" The boy with a loudspeaker continued to shout, "Candidates in Exam Room 2, please follow this one!"

Another girl on the steps also raised a large wooden sign with the same words to signal the examinees, and then took the lead to walk in another direction.

"Let's go, come on!" Xiao Yao stretched out his fist to touch Lin Qisan, and followed the girl holding the big wooden sign.

Xiao Yao's movements were very quick. Not long after the girl holding the wooden signboard of Examination Room No. 2 walked down the steps, Xiao Yao and several candidates who stood very close to the edge of the steps followed behind her. Behind them, a large group of people soon gathered together.

When he was approaching the comprehensive teaching building of the Academy of Chinese Opera, Xiao Yao occasionally turned his head and glanced back, and couldn't help but be taken aback. There are ten examination rooms, which means that their group should only be one-tenth of all the students who applied for the examination. But just one-tenth of this, there are nearly a thousand people, and there is a huge area bustling with people.

When the group arrived at the entrance of the comprehensive teaching building of the Chinese Opera Academy, there was already a young man in his twenties standing at the entrance, also holding an electronic loudspeaker.

The leading girl holding the wooden sign walked up the steps and stood next to the young man holding the electronic loudspeaker, while the candidates behind them stopped at the bottom of the steps consciously, standing quietly in the open space at the entrance of the teaching building. waiting.

The young man with the electronic loudspeaker saw that the group of people had gathered in the open space at the door, and then he held up the loudspeaker and started loudly announcing the exam rules:

"Everyone, please listen carefully. The classroom for the first exam of the performance department is in Room 103 in this building. The exam is conducted in groups, and each group of ten people enters the arena at the same time and ends together. Next, I will start reading The names of the first group of candidates and their admission ticket numbers, please stand in the hall behind me quickly if you read them. After ten people gather, the invigilators will take you into the examination room. Then I will continue to read the second group Candidate list, after the second group of candidates arrives, the invigilator will take you to the corridor outside the classroom to wait. After the first group of candidates come out, the invigilator leading the team will notify you to enter before you can enter the examination room. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" The candidates in the open space in front of the building shouted in confusion.

The young man continued: "Today's exam is divided into two sessions, morning and afternoon. The order of the exam is basically according to the number on the admission ticket. Students with a number above 6,000 on the admission ticket must have to take the exam in the afternoon. So these students can go back first and come back in the afternoon. Of course, this part of the students can stay if they want to, but please keep quiet. I will start the roll call immediately. If there is no response after reading the name and the admission ticket number three times , will be regarded as absent, then please come back next year."

As soon as the young man said this, everyone immediately fell silent, for fear of missing his name.

"The following are the first group of candidates." The young man was very satisfied with everyone's performance, and immediately started the roll call, "Wang Yan, the admission ticket number..."

The first person whose name was read was a girl. She immediately shouted loudly, "Here!" Then she walked up the steps nervously and excitedly, and entered the hall of the teaching building behind the young man. Then the second, the third...

Soon, the first group of ten candidates all entered the hall of the teaching building. At this time, a boy who looked to be in his twenties, who seemed to be a graduate student, walked out of the corridor with a serious face, and led ten people to the classroom where the exam was held.

As soon as the figures of the ten people disappeared, the young man at the door immediately read the list of candidates from the second group.

The numbers on the admission ticket are not in the order of the registration time, but are assigned to all candidates after the registration is over. Therefore, although Xiao Yao's registration time is not too early, the number on the admission ticket is relatively small. If you guess according to this number, Xiao Yao's exam order is relatively early.

Sure enough, Xiao Yao heard his own name when the young people who called at the door reported to the eighth group of candidates.

"Xiao Yao, the admission ticket number is 000765!" The young man paused for a while after reporting Xiao Yao's name, and looked at Xiao Yao who was walking up the steps with a slightly surprised expression, but he quickly adjusted, and then Continue to report the name and admission ticket number of the next candidate.

But after the young man pronounced Xiao Yao's name aloud, there were already some whispering voices in the crowd below:

"Xiao Yao? It can't be the Xiao Yao who won the "Golden Disc" award, right? Isn't he a singer? Why did he also come to take the acting department?"

"He has also acted. The "Cheng Ying" who played in "Ling Yun Zhi" won the "Fei Tian" Award for Best Newcomer. It's just that he should be from Yanjing. If he wants to take the acting department, he should You are going to take the Yanjing Film Academy or Huaxia Drama Academy, why did you come to Shencheng to take the Shencheng Drama Academy?"

"Look, wearing a hat, I can't see his face clearly. I don't know if it's that Xiao Yao, maybe it's just the same name and surname."

"Quiet!" The young man frowned, and shouted dissatisfiedly to the examinees under the steps, "I emphasize again, those who miss their own names will be regarded as absent, and the consequences will be at their own risk!"

This statement works. No matter how curious you are about stars, it is not as important as your own future. No one wanted to delay their exams by discussing a star, so the steps quickly returned to silence.

In the hall of the teaching building, after Xiao Yao came in, he quietly stood next to the candidate who came in first, waiting for the invigilator who led the team to arrive, and at the same time began to observe several other candidates in the same group.

The hall was full of candidates who were about to take the exam. They all looked nervous, and the atmosphere around them was much more depressing than outside. Although they also heard Xiao Yao's name, at this time no one was in the mood to talk about Xiao Yao around him. At most, he was a curious, nervous and relatively small guy who secretly looked at him a few times.

In order to firstly leave a good impression on the teachers from the external image, the candidates have all dressed up carefully today, wishing to show their most glamorous side, but only this candidate named Xiao Yao , although the clothes on his body are also neat and tidy, but he is dressed in a baseball cap and black-rimmed glasses, and it is not easy to see his face.

"Could it be that he is really Xiao Yao, the star who won the best newcomer at both the "Golden Disc" award and the "Flying Apsaras" award?" Several candidates who stood beside Xiao Yao and peeked at him secretly murmured in their hearts.

After the ten people in this group gathered in the hall, the invigilator who led the team also came to the hall and brought the ten people to the door of a large classroom on the first floor.

Xiao Yao raised his head and looked at the metal nameplate with the word 103 on the two closed doors of the classroom in front of him, knowing that it should be the examination room for this test.

The most important exam in Xiao Yao's life so far is about to start. At this time, Xiao Yao still had a calm smile on his face, and continued to quietly look at the other candidates in the same group who were called in behind him. Especially the beauty who came in at the end, who looked a bit exotic, attracted a lot of Xiao Yao's attention.
