"Eight hundred standard bearers ran to the north slope, and the artillerymen ran side by side to the north..."

“Steamed lamb, steamed bear paws, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose…”

"Wind, roar, roar..."

“Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…”

Early in the morning, Tao Mu woke up to the sound of his classmates practicing morning exercises.

Wen Bao was lying on Tao Mu's bedside, reading out the menu. When he saw Tao Mu wake up, he patted the bedside and said, "Hurry up and get up. Morning exercises start at six in the morning. You're late again."

"Hmm." Tao Mu squinted his eyes and sat up, hugging the quilt. In the same dormitory, Du Kang stood in front of a large floor-to-ceiling mirror and recited tongue twisters, while Chu Suian recited poems while taking a shower. Outside, one could faintly hear the sounds of various people practicing their vocalizations.

Tao Mu climbed out of bed and squeezed into the bathroom to run the water. Chu Suian happened to have finished his shower, so Tao Mu rushed under the shower and took a quick shower. Before six o'clock, the four people in dormitory 301 ran to the playground in a panic.

It snowed most of last night. But it cleared up in the morning. The boys and girls from the acting department wore thick down jackets and walked in a big circle in the center of the playground, doing squats while reciting their lines. The weather was extremely cold, and the white air exhaled from the mouth fell on the lips, forming a thin layer of frost. From a distance, they look like fairies, puffing out smoke.

The teacher in charge of attendance was standing nearby and counting the time. He saw four people from Dormitory 301 coming over again. Immediately, he frowned fiercely: "Why are you here late again? I told you that your dormitory couldn't arrive earlier?"

"Teacher, this is called having a sense of time." Wen Bao said with a smile.

Just like all teachers like good students, teachers at Beijing Film Academy are no exception. Wen Bao, the youngest actor to win three Golden Globes awards, displayed astonishing acting talent in his first semester at school. In addition, Wen Bao was very diligent and hardworking in class, so all the teachers looked favorably upon him. As a result, Wen Bao was relatively unrestrained when interacting with his teachers. For example, they make jokes and put on a frivolous smile when the teacher criticizes them. Trying to get away with it.

Sure enough, after hearing what Wen Bao said, Teacher Zhang, who was in charge of attendance, said nothing more. He just pretended to be fierce and glared at Wen Bao: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Why don't you return to the team? Be careful or I will make sure you fail the final exam."

Wen Bao smiled and joined the circle of classmates, and began to practice his lines by doing squats. The classmates around him all made eyes at him. Wen Bao also threw it back with a smile.

Teacher Zhang saw it but said nothing. He just turned around and asked Tao Mu: "How are things going in your orphanage? Is Dean Tao okay?"

"It's almost all dealt with. Dean Tao is in a good mood now. He's cheered up." Tao Mu paused and said shyly, "I'm sorry for delaying so many classes."

Teacher Zhang shook his head. There is nothing we can do about this. There are indeed many students in Beijing Film Academy who have been trying to find ways to ask for leave since their freshman year. However, these students usually go out to film or take notices. Later, Beijing Film Academy stipulated that students were not allowed to take leave during their freshman and sophomore years, otherwise credits would be deducted, and that students in their freshmen and sophomores must complete the required credits before they could be promoted.

However, even so, it did not stop students from submitting their leave notes one after another. So generally speaking, the school does not like students who always take leave. However, Tao Mu's situation is different from those students. Every time Tao Mu asked for leave, something happened at home or with friends around him.

——For example, Gou Rixin had a coercive incident in H Town and his girlfriend took away a huge sum of one million yuan, so Tao Mu had to take leave to deal with the matter; the Song family and Sheng'an Group had a big fight in the stock market, which even alarmed the Beijing officials, so Tao Mu had to take leave to represent the Song family in Shanghai to deal with the matter; and then there was the matter of Dean Tao being slandered, so Tao Mu took more than a week off to sit in Feixun.com and handle the matter with full authority...

During this period, Tao Mu was repeatedly caught up in smear campaigns, rumors and false accusations, and even Feixun.com was affected, but Tao Mu did not ask for leave. He insisted on staying in school, attending classes, practicing martial arts, and completing homework - the only three times he asked for leave were for his family and friends, and all of them were matters of life and death.

So in this case, even the Beijing Film Academy, which hated students asking for leave, had no way of expressing any dissatisfaction with Tao Mu. Besides, although Tao Mu's family affairs are complicated, when he takes leave to deal with family affairs, not only does it not delay his studies, but he can also help the school with publicity, enhance its reputation and influence, and provide students with opportunities to show themselves. Just for these reasons, the Beijing Film Academy was extremely satisfied with Tao Mu.

While feeling satisfied, he also felt pity for Tao Mu, the unlucky boy - he felt that this child had a really hard life. I have to face so many bad things just after becoming an adult. I can only say that I have bad luck and it has been a bad year. Some superstitious acting teachers even secretly hinted to Tao Mu that he could burn some incense and pray to Buddha to get rid of the bad luck. Some people even told Tao Mu that he could raise a little ghost to change his luck.

Tao Mu responded: "..."

Fortunately, before the rehearsal of the final drama, Tao Mu finally finished dealing with most of the housework.

The school leaders and teachers also hope that Tao Mu can focus all his energy on rehearsing the drama in the coming time.

Tao Mu's class 08 of Beijing Film Academy has a total of 25 people. Among them, there are 12 boys and 13 girls. This is exactly the number of people needed to rehearse a big play.

The final drama requirement for the first-year undergraduate class of the 2008 Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy is that each class presents an original skit. The skits here do not refer to the funny skits that appear on the Spring Festival Gala. It is a small work similar to a stage play. Actors are required to create their own scripts, including lines and plot parts. This is mainly to examine students' literary literacy and basic skills.

After all, all students have gone through a semester of study and have learned how to write biographies, observation diaries, write film reviews, appreciate literature and classic scripts, etc. The original script for the final exam is to verify how well students have mastered the knowledge - this is an examination of students' basic skills and comprehensive qualities. Write your own script and act out your own roles. Professional actors pay much attention to voice, stage performance and conduct. If one wants to hone his acting skills to perfection, it is definitely not as simple as just talking and making movements in front of the camera.

So relatively speaking, the final drama for senior grades will be easier. Because after enduring the most abnormal basic learning, the seniors in their third and fourth years can directly choose to perform classic scripts.

However, what all the freshmen of 2008 did not expect was that the final exam, which was already considered perverted enough, would be even more perverted for their class - not only did they have to write their own scripts and rehearse the drama, but each student also had to come up with a non-physical performance test question and hand it in to the teacher. In the performance class, the teacher would ask the students to come to the stage and randomly select the test question to perform as their personal final exam - it simply couldn't be more perverted.

As soon as this decision was announced, all the students in Class 08 complained and resisted fiercely. But it was of no use. The teachers have already made up their minds to make trouble for the kids, so how could they allow these little brats to successfully resist?

It’s okay to yell and shout, but you all have to hand in your test papers when the time comes.

While practicing morning exercises, the students in Class 1, Grade 08 were curious about what test questions Tao Mu handed in, and asked him during breaks.

Tao Mu honestly said that he just randomly chose a question about eating noodles. It's just average, nothing new.

Immediately, someone sighed in disappointment. Doing squats was not enough fun. Du Kang, who was doing push-ups on the playground, got excited and said, "The test questions I came up with are very innovative. I tell you, none of you will be able to think of them. I don't think anyone can perform them."

Faced with Du Kang's complacency, some people immediately became dissatisfied: "What kind of test questions can you come up with? No one can perform it? Are you asking people to perform aliens?" No one has ever seen one, and if Du Kang insisted that he couldn't perform it, there was nothing they could do.

"Or is it the kind of schizophrenia that tests acting skills?"

"Multiple character performances?"

"Oh, don't try to guess. Your brains are like wood, without any creativity. I've already told you that you can't guess it!" Du Kang raised his neck proudly: "Just wait and see if you don't believe me."

A group of students looked at each other in disbelief. But Du Kang does have a lot of ideas on a daily basis. Everyone is a little unsure.

As a result, when the performance class started, the teacher called students to the stage according to their student numbers to draw test questions. Tao Mu's question about eating noodles was picked by Wen Bao, a roommate. The test questions were originally very simple and had nothing new to offer. Wen Bao sat in the front and performed a non-physical performance of eating noodles with soybean paste and garlic. He didn't say a word throughout the whole process, but his solid acting skills made all the students, including the teacher, hungry.

He is worthy of being the youngest winner of three major awards in later generations. His acting talent is definitely a gift from God. Even Tao Mu had worked hard to get a Best Actor award in his previous life. Seeing Wen Bao's performance at this moment, Tao Mu was still extremely envious and admired.

The test questions drawn by other students were similar. There are performances of male and female cross-dressing, performances of animals and plants, and even performances of mentally ill people with multiple personalities. Most of them are quite satisfactory and within the scope of imagination.

When it was Tao Mu's turn, he took out a small note from the box and handed it to the teacher. Expand and take a look——

“An eSports player with Parkinson’s disease plays games!”

Tao Mu's face suddenly turned dark.

Du Kang, fuck you!
