Chapter 135 Interview

Early the next morning, Li Qian accompanied Wang Jinglu to take the exam of the acting department.

As usual, we lined up again, waiting to get the test admission ticket, and continued to wait after receiving the test admission ticket. Only this time, while waiting for the exam to start, the two of them ran to read the exam results posted by the photography department.

On the printed sheets of paper, Li Qian successfully found his admission ticket number and name.

Surrounded by many candidates with drooping brows and disappointed faces.

But they should not be too discouraged, because the art test season has just started, and they will then go to take the admission test for many such art colleges-every year starting from April, there will be many people from one school to another. Run the exam until you are admitted by a certain school. There are even many people who will fail the exam this year and come back next year!

Wang Jinglu smiled happily, as if she had passed the test herself.

And then, it was Li Qian who sent her into the examination room.

Miraculously, after Wang Jing came out, he said that the examination questions for the acting department were exactly the same as those for the photography department.

Then, just like when they checked the answers on the top of the building, the two of them analyzed whether Wang Jinglu's answer could pass or not. Facts have proved that they were overthinking. When the results came out the next day, Wang Jinglu also entered the test smoothly. next round.

In the morning it was Wang Jinglu's exam, and in the afternoon it was Li Qian's turn.

But this time, only about two hundred people from the photography department took the exam.

Then, in the largest film studio at the Academy of Film, two hundred people sat down in disorder to watch movies and write reviews.

... ... ...

April 23rd, Suncheon Film Academy.

With the sharp decrease in the number of people taking the exam, the progress of the exam suddenly accelerated on the 19th and 20th. When the big list is posted on the 21st, no matter which major you apply for, basically only There are about a hundred people.

Added together, there are only seven or eight hundred people on the big list.

Both Li Qian and Wang Jinglu made it onto the list without any surprises.

In the next interview, the progress will slow down again, because although the film academy divides all candidates into three categories according to the majors they apply for to organize the exam, it is said that each candidate has five to ten minutes, so it is conceivable I know, I can't get up fast if I think about it.

Li Qian's photography department is divided into the first category for interviews.

As for Wang Jinglu's director department, interviews were conducted in the third category.

This time, none of them could accompany the other, so they could only queue up separately.

Standing in the crowd waiting for the exam, Li Qian didn't care about what the people around him were talking about. He just silently recalled the recordings he had taken the time to complete in the past two days, and calculated his next itinerary—in fact, although Wang Jinglu From the very beginning, he was asked to sign up at the Huaxia Academy of Drama at the same time, but after thinking about it, he still refused. It's not that he doesn't want to add this double insurance, it's just that the School of Drama doesn't have a separate Department of Photography, and Li Qian really isn't that interested in the Department of Directing.

Of course, Li Qian was very happy for Wang Jinglu who had passed two tests in a row at the Drama Academy and successfully passed the final interview.

... ... ...

Li Qian's admission ticket number was relatively high, so it was his turn after three o'clock in the afternoon.

The large practice room was empty, only a few long tables were lined up on the side next to the mirror, and a row of examiners with different postures sat behind the tables.

Three men and two women, a total of five people.

The older one looked to be in his sixties, and the youngest was probably in his early thirties.

In a big room like this, but also so empty, it is easy to feel nervous subconsciously, not to mention that this is an interview, not to mention that the candidate walks in and stands facing the examiner, and the big mirror is directly opposite. can see!

For candidates who are already a little nervous, this is an exam environment that will definitely make people more and more nervous.

Li Qian walked in with a folk guitar lent to him by Liao Liao on his back, bowed to the examiners and said "Hello, teacher", and then stood there expressionlessly.

The youngest examiner sitting on the far side picked up Li Qian's admission ticket on the table and asked, "Li Qian? From Jinan Prefecture?"

Li Qian nodded and replied: "Yes."

Then, he took out three photos from the examinee's bag, and passed them to the side without looking at them himself.

The three photos were passed on among the remaining four people, and finally returned to the hands of the young examiner.

Li Qian noticed that the female examiner sitting second to the south was the most serious.

After the young examiner took the photos, he glanced at each of them, and then handed them over again. In the end, those photos fell back into the hands of the female examiner as expected.

She looked at each of them one by one again, raised her head with a smile, looked at Li Qian, and said, "Our interview stage allows talents to be displayed. Are you going to play the guitar? Sing?"

Li Qian smiled and said: "I thought about it, and I think I will do this too."

The female examiner smiled again and said, "Then you start!"

Li Qian picked up the guitar and started to play the prelude - the song was chosen by Wang Jinglu. She asked Li Qian to sing the song he wrote for herself, "When You Are Old" on such an important occasion.

The lyrics are written by the British poet Yeats, of course the examiners all know it, it is different from works like "Persistence" that have become popular recently. No matter how popular your song is, it's hard to guarantee that the professors in the college haven't heard it. But "When You Are Old", they must know that when it is accompanied by a folk song, Wang Jinglu analyzed that when Li Qian finished singing, they must ask who composed the song. When the time comes, Li Qian said that he Composer, won't this get extra points right away?

So, Li Qian obediently carried out her design.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the expressions of the examiners moved slightly. Obviously, they all knew the poem.

Then, the melody of this song matches this poem well enough, and Li Qian's current experience also allows him to sing a gurgling folk song to a pleasant level, which immediately made the two examiners Nodding endlessly.

After singing seriously, Li Qian put down the guitar and recited it again.

The young examiner sitting on the farthest side really asked: "Is this Yeats's poem? I have never heard of anyone composing music for this poem of his. Whose music is this?"

Li Qian said calmly: "This is the song I wrote myself."

After a swipe, the feeling is really different.

The five of them looked up at Li Qian together.

Only the one sitting in the middle looked up, but soon, he looked down at a document in his hand—well, Li Qian had sharp eyes, and it looked like an examination paper.

At this time, the female examiner suddenly picked up the three photos on the table and asked, "I saw your work, can you tell me what you thought when you took these photos?"

Li Qian tried hard to think back for a moment when he heard the words, and said helplessly: "I thought at that time, you let us shoot after you have set up the lights, and there are people staring at you, and you are not allowed to move the lights. Does this mean that everyone's shots are similar? Examiners It’s also a matter of looking at hundreds of photos that are almost the same in one day, this... I’m curious how you can distinguish who is talented and who is not.”

As soon as he said this, several examiners at the scene immediately grinned.

The female examiner even smiled and said: "Don't be suspicious, and don't be curious. I have been doing this for thirty years. If I can't see something at a glance, all these years are not for nothing? With so many students, I am How did you teach it?"

Li Qian shrugged his shoulders and wanted to ask, "Then do you think I'm okay?" After thinking about it, he didn't dare to ask.

But at this time, the examiner sitting in the middle suddenly spoke up. He raised his head, looked at Li Qian seriously, and asked, "Have you been exposed to French movies?"

Li Qian thought for a while, and replied, "Very rarely, in our country, apart from Hollywood movies, it's not easy to come across anything else."

The examiner, who looked about sixty years old, suddenly picked up the paper in his hand, shook it, and said, "If you haven't been exposed to French movies, the idea of ​​Planet of the Apes is the one you came up with?"

That was indeed the exam paper from the first round.

And judging by the meaning, it should belong to Li Qian.

However, if we really want to talk about the idea of ​​the Planet of the Apes, Li Qian knew it from American movies at first, but he likes to get to the bottom of things, so he searched everywhere for the setting of the Planet of the Apes, and then followed the search I went to a few French films as early as the 1950s and 1960s, and learned that the later series in Hollywood had been completed by French filmmakers decades ago, and they were also made into a film. A logical science fiction series.

Of course, after coming to this time and space, Li Qian’s contact with movies is still too narrow, so he is not sure whether the French filmmakers in this time and space have already created works in this field, and he is not even sure whether there are similar creations in Hollywood. Know.

However, it is precisely because of such a low level of knowledge that Li Qian was already very sensitive when the other party mentioned French movies. Presumably in this time and space, French filmmakers have already made this series. up.

So, Li Qian thought for a while, and finally replied honestly: "I have a friend who is a screenwriter. I had a chat with him. I happened to hear him mention a French science fiction film with a similar theme in the 1950s." , We talked about it at the time, and it happened that there was such an exam question this time, so I wrote down all the thoughts I had at the beginning."

The examiner raised his eyebrows, nodded, and said, "You are honest."

But at this time, the younger examiner asked curiously: "At your age, do you actually know a friend who is a screenwriter? Does someone in your family work in the film and television industry?"

Li Qian shook his head, "No. They are really pure friends."

Hearing this, the examiner showed a disbelieving expression on his face, and asked: "Can you tell me the name of your friend? I also work as a screenwriter, so I might know him. There are not many people who have studied it, or even studied it to notice that movie."

Li Qian had no choice but to say: "His surname is Cao, and his name is Cao Zhan."

As soon as these words came out, the five examiners all showed expressions of sudden realization.

The young examiner nodded and said with a smile, "It's Lao Cao, no wonder! He's obsessed with French movies."

But at this time, the examiner sitting in the middle suddenly said: "Your friends won't give you extra points. Cao Zhan has friends at the Film Academy, but he has more enemies!"

Li Qian grinned and said, "I believe the teachers will judge the scores fairly."

The examiner suddenly smiled when he heard the words, and said, "I've read your test papers and photos, you go to the photography department, it's a bit of a waste of talent, think about it, come to the director department!"

As soon as he said this, the female examiner next to him immediately stared, "Hey, Dean Qian, you are too biased! He only applied for our photography department, so don't worry about Lao Zhou of the director department! "

That Dean Qian was not moved at all when he heard the words, he just smiled slightly, looked at Li Qian, and said solemnly: "As long as you agree, I will make up your files and transfer files for you, how about it?"

Li Qian thought for a while, shook his head with a smile, and said, "I just want to take the photography department."

That Dean Qian stared at him for a moment, then looked away helplessly, and put down the test paper in his hand.

At this moment, the female examiner looked at Li Qian with a smile, and asked, "Apart from our Film Academy, have you applied to other schools? Are you going to take the exam to other schools?"

Li Qian shook his head and said, "I only applied for the Photography Department of Suncheon Film Academy."

The female examiner nodded with a smile when she heard the words, and said: "Go back and prepare for the culture class exam, don't let the culture class hold you back!" Then said: "Okay, your exam is over, you can go out. "

Li Qian nodded, bowed, and then walked out of the classroom in a daze.

Passing through the crowd waiting for the test, he was about to walk out of this corridor when someone grabbed his arm, and then, an excited and nervous face appeared in front of him, and the man asked, "Dude, how did you do in the test?" ? It is said that the examiner is very serious, is it true? Scary, right?"

"Serious?" Li Qian was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked, "Who told you that the examiner is serious?"

At this time, two people immediately asked in unison: "We all just came out of it! Why, isn't the examiner serious about you?"

Suddenly, Li Qian seemed to understand something.

But thinking about it carefully, he felt that he didn't understand anything.

Counting on my fingers, three exams, the first written exam, I gave such an idea for "Planet of the Apes", and the second wrote a film review. Well, maybe my knowledge is indeed better than those around me. It is the boys and girls of seventeen or eighteen who are much smarter?

In short, the final result is that I seem to be favored by those examiners?

After a pause, he looked at the concerned gazes around him, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I just stared at the mirror when I went in, and didn't notice what the examiners were like..."

As soon as he replied, everyone around him immediately felt relieved.

"You are actually worse than me..." Someone beside me said with a smile.

Li Qian shrugged, also smiled, got up and left.

... ... ...

Frankly speaking, apart from the fact that the waiting time was too long which would make Li Qian somewhat annoyed, the three exams spanning several days really did not bring Li Qian any great feeling, and then, unknowingly , so the exam is over.

Moreover, it seems that he did well in the exam?

But Wang Jinglu is not like that at all. After participating in the two interviews at the Academy of Film and Academy of Drama, she couldn't help complaining in front of Li Qian over and over——

"I think I did too badly in the interview, especially at the drama school! You don't know, those teachers are so sullen, and I was so scared that I couldn't speak when I saw them. Yes! Fortunately, my talent show is the piano, once I play the piano, I will not be so nervous, otherwise it must be worse!"

But no matter what, the exams are over, and Li Qian and Wang Jinglu are not planning to apply for other art colleges - if Li Qian fails the exam, he will choose not to go to university, and if Wang Jinglu takes the exam If you don't, you will choose to give up the art path and go to ordinary schools seriously. Well, if nothing unexpected, she will choose a teacher training school, and strive to be a teacher like Dad Li after graduation in the future.

And then, after finishing the art exam, Wang Jinglu went back to school to continue class, and Li Qian returned to the recording studio.

The recording of Liao Liao's second solo album "The Sound of the Waves Still" has come to the final stage.
