Inside the hotel, Zhuang Fan was using his phone to browse the news on the internet using the extremely slow 2G-GPS network.
Having just been reborn, he had forgotten many things about 2005, so he looked at the news, hoping it would help him remember.
Especially news about the entertainment and film industry, such as filming, actors, celebrities, and so on.
"I won't be returning to my hometown for the time being!"
"However, the money on me is not enough to open a hotel for three days!”
Zhuang Fan had asked his parents for 500 yuan when he came to Imperial Capital Film Academy for the arts exam.
This included the travel expenses.
Originally, Zhuang Fan had to go back to school after the first test. However, after his rebirth, there was no difference whether he got into the university or not. In his previous life, Zhuang Fan's grades were not bad, and he had no problem getting into a second-tier university. In this life, he had almost forgotten about it, but the minimum passing score for the Jiangnan Arts Department was 350 points.
Jiangnan Province's 2005 college entrance examination adopted a 3 2 model, which meant that three subjects were compulsory, and two of the six subjects of science, science, politics, history, and geography could be chosen.
For the arts exam, Zhuang Fan applied for foreign language political history. The total score for the five subjects was 750. To Zhuang Fan, getting 350 points was not a problem.
He was confident that he could score 200 in Chinese and English. He had studied English seriously in his previous life and had also gone abroad to film a few scenes.
Then wouldn't it be easy for him to get 150 points for the remaining three subjects?
"If it doesn't work out, I'll prepare for it a month before the college entrance examination!”
" As long as it's not science, it's relatively easy to memorize 50 marks for each humanities subject…"
As Zhuang Fan thought about this, he wrote down the date on the paper beside him. It was May 10th!
Every year, the college entrance examination was held on June 7th, 8th, and 9th. On May 10th, he could go back to class or revise by himself.
"Today is February 20th. There are less than three months left!”
"During this period, there will be a second and third interview at Nortel…"
Zhuang Fan thought about it and finally decided to find a few film crews to act in for the next three months!
You should make a name for yourself early.
This was a famous quote from a senior in the industry, and Zhuang Fan had a deep understanding of it.
Becoming famous at the age of 40 and becoming famous at the age of 20 were completely different concepts.
If he wanted to become famous, then running to the production team was the wisest choice.
Fortunately, there were more film and television bases in Beijing than in Hengdian. Especially in 2005, Hengdian wasn't as developed as it was in the future. Many movies and Central TV's primetime blockbusters were filmed in the major film studios in the capital.
Last year, the most popular movie in the country," A World Without Thieves," had even made the most well-known Northern Drifter, Wang Baoqiang, known throughout the country.
Therefore, countless people rushed to the various film and television bases in the capital, wanting to become the second Wang Baoqiang.
And 2005 was definitely the year with the highest performance in the history of domestic television dramas.
Drawing Swords, My Own Swordsman, I Have Children, The Legend of Sword and Fairy, The Qiao Family Courtyard, Emperor Han Wu, Lotus Lantern, The World's Best…Countless classic TV series that were broadcasted repeatedly in the future were all filmed and aired in this year.
"Tomorrow, we will go to the entrance of the film studio to try our luck. Currently,'Drawing Swords' should be filming at Bayi Film and Television Base!”
" My Own Swordsman has just been established…"
"'We Have Children' is filmed while it is broadcasted!”
“……”
Currently, Zhuang Fan could only find out that these three movies were filmed in Beijing.
As for the others, they were either from other places or Hengdian. Zhuang Fan was really too distracted.
After planning his next steps, Zhuang Fan went to sleep. When he woke up, it was already night time.
The list of candidates for today's Northern Film Academy's preliminary exam had already been posted and announced.
Zhuang Fan received a message from Yang Mi on his phone.
"Why didn't you come?"
"I saw your name. You passed the preliminary test successfully!”
"The second round will be held on March 13th. At 10:30 in the morning, we will be in the same group again!”
"Okay, thank you!"
Zhuang Fan quickly typed on his phone's keyboard.""It saves me the trouble of going to school!"
"Then how are you going to thank me?"
Zhuang Fan was just about to put down his phone when Yang Mi replied so quickly. It was obvious that she was playing with her phone.
"I really have to thank you. It's all thanks to you that I fainted today!”
"Then…I'll treat you to a meal!"
"But it will take two days!"
Zhuang Fan only had around 300 yuan in cash right now. He still had to stay in the capital for three months. It was simply hell.
"How about the night of the second interview?”
"If we all pass the second round, let's celebrate!”
"Alright!"
"Are you going to film?"
"Not yet. I think I'll be joining the crew until school starts…"
Zhuang Fan and Yang Mi chatted casually until his mother called.
"Son, how was the first test?"
Zhuang Fan's mother, Jiang Xueqin, was a primary school teacher. She was actually very opposed to Zhuang Fan becoming an actor, but her son insisted, so she had no choice.
"Successfully passed!"
"Really?"
Jiang Xueqin was obviously surprised.
She knew better than anyone else what kind of person her son was. She had even asked around and found out that a student with zero foundation like Zhuang Fan would not be able to get into Beijing Film Academy. She had asked Zhuang Fan to go to the capital only to fulfill his wish.
"Of course it's true, but Mom, I still want to stay in Hillford for two more months!”
"When the third trial is over-"
"Aren't you coming back to class?"
Jiang Xueqin raised her voice.
"Mom, the signal here is not good. I'm hanging up!”
When Zhuang Fan heard his mother's attitude, he knew he was in trouble. He did not want to hear her nag.
In his previous life, what he wanted the most was to listen to his mother talk to him on the phone. However, she had just been reborn in this life, and her mother was still young.
Just as he was about to hang up, Jiang Xueqin sighed."Son, take the exam well. Don't leave any regrets!”
"If you can't get in, listen to your mother next year. Repeat a year and we'll go to university, okay?”
Jiang Xueqin begged Zhuang Fan.
Zhuang Fan was a little teary. He could feel that his mother's words were against her will.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
"Then let's make a deal. Don't go back on your word. Pinky swear?”
Jiang Xueqin spoke like a child. Zhuang Fan could not help but shake his head."Fine, pinky swear. I won't change my mind for a hundred years!”
"What about the last sentence?"
"Whoever changes is a puppy!" Jiang Xueqin said anxiously.”
“……”
Mom, you're so ruthless.
Moreover, it was filled with evil interests.
"Remember to send me your card number later. Mom will transfer you 5000 yuan!”
"Remember to take care of yourself when you're outside for two months!”
"You have to call Mom every day, okay?”
"I'm really worried about you being alone outside!”
“……”
Jiang Xueqin returned to her nagging mode. Zhuang Fan could only nod his head repeatedly.
In the end, Zhuang Fan hung up the phone.
This was all his mother's love!
The 5000 yuan living expenses were almost equivalent to Zhuang Fan's parents 'salary for several months.
"However, it's impossible to repeat it. It's impossible to repeat it in this lifetime. He didn't know how to do the questions. It was acting that allowed him to maintain his life!”
"Entering the production team feels like going home. It feels much better in the production team than in school!”
"Everyone inside is talented and their words are pleasant to hear. I really like them inside!”
Zhuang Fan hummed a popular joke from his previous life and began to plan his filming schedule for tomorrow.
