At this point, the candidates began to enter the examination hall.

The rule at Beijing Film Academy is that five people should come in at a time.

The exam content was very simple.

The first stage is the preliminary test. In the preliminary test, candidates must first give a brief self-introduction, including their application number, height, and place of origin. During this process, candidates must speak loudly and clearly. After the brief self-introduction, the real assessment begins.

Script: Students will recite a short story, essay, or fable they have prepared. The theme should preferably be related to family, love, or friendship, and it should be wholesome. There are no strict restrictions on the genre, as long as the student is good at it. However, the length of the article should be kept to around three minutes.

Performance: It may be a set question or a prescribed scenario. A group of people work together. No matter how the test is conducted, the students must listen carefully to the teacher's requirements. When performing, they should come from the heart and strive to be authentic and natural. They must not be pretentious or showy.

Vocal performance: Students sing a song they have prepared. The teacher mainly assesses the students' voice and pitch. It doesn't matter if they sing the wrong lyrics, as long as their voice is good.

Physical expression: Students will perform a dance they have prepared themselves, anything is fine, and they will prepare their own accompaniment. They should pay attention to their facial expressions and eye contact while dancing.

Simply put, you need to have all four aspects: sound, form, body, and expression.

As the students began their exams, Shen Fang took out the prepared sunflower seeds, peanuts, and snacks and handed them to Liu Qianqian and Liu Xiaoli.

The three of them started a tea party right there in the corner of the classroom, occasionally commenting on the students' exam performance on stage.

As Shen Fang cracked sunflower seeds, he looked at the female trainee above and said, "Tsk tsk, her skill level is really poor, and she's not even that good-looking. I'd give her a 7 out of 10."

Liu Qianqian nodded while eating a pistachio and said, "That's right, but she's wearing so little, oh my, so embarrassing. Brother Chen Fang, do you have any chocolate? I want some chocolate."

Shen Fang nodded: "Of course I have some. I also have dried mango, dried cherry, dried yellow peach, and AD calcium milk. Xixi, would you like some?"

Liu Qianqian said happily, "Yes, yes, yes! I love dried mango the most. Are dried yellow peaches delicious? I love AD calcium milk!"

Liu Xiaoli looked at the two onlookers and whispered, "They're still having an interview, so keep your voices down. Hey, Xiao Shen, let me try some of those dried yellow peaches. I haven't had any in years, and they're not sold in stores anymore."

Shen Fang smiled and said, "I got them from my family. If Auntie wants to eat them, she can just go to Liangpin Shop. My family owns many snack shops in Beijing. In the future, if she wants to eat them, she can just tell me my name and eat whatever she wants."

Shen Fang took out snacks and handed them to Qianqian and Liu Xiaoli.

Liu Xiaoli took the dried yellow peach and looked at the four big characters "Liangpin Shop" on the exquisitely packaged snack.

Liu Tianxian looked at Chen Fang and said, "Wow, is Liangpin Shop owned by your family, brother? Does that mean I can eat free snacks every day from now on?"

Shen Fang smiled and said, "That's right, Liangpin Shop is owned by our family. If you want to eat there, Qianqian, I'll get you a super VVIP card later, so you can eat snacks for free."

Liu Tianxian immediately danced with joy: "Yay, yay, yay! This is great! Liangpin Shop is my favorite, but it's so expensive! A little bit costs several hundred dollars. My allowance isn't enough. This is wonderful! I can eat free snacks from now on!"

Liu Xiaoli tasted the dried yellow peaches and found them quite delicious. Hearing that her daughter liked them, she immediately decided to buy more. However, upon hearing that they were quite expensive, Shen Fang, who was about to give Liu Qianqian a VVIP card, quickly stopped her, saying, "Shen Fang, no need. If Qianqian wants to eat them, I'll buy them for her."

Shen Fang waved his hand and smiled, "It's nothing. What's it to me, as the older brother, give my little sister some snacks? Besides, the shop is owned by our family. These things aren't worth much money; they're just sold at a higher price. The cost is minimal."

Liu Xiaoli nodded upon hearing this: "The packaging of this snack is quite exquisite, and it tastes pretty good too."

Liu Qianqian: "Mom, Liangpin Shop is a high-end snack brand. It's selling well in many countries now. This bag costs tens of yuan."

Liu Xiaoli was shocked: "What? A pack costs tens of yuan? That's so expensive?"

Shen Fang nodded: "Pretty much. Like Aunt Liu, a small 250g bag of yours sells for about 20 yuan in China, about 5 US dollars when exported to Europe and America, and about 1500 yen in Japan. Our snacks are high-end and premium. So they are more expensive."

Liu Xiaoli asked curiously, "Since you sell Shenfang at such a high price, will many people buy it?"

Shen Fang smiled and said, "It's alright. There are more rich people these past two years, and most of the profits come from export trade."

Liu Xiaoli nodded to herself, noting that Shen Fang's family was quite wealthy, and not just ordinary wealthy. Frankly, back in 2002 when the average monthly salary in Beijing was 2500 yuan, those high-end snacks from Liangpin Shop were not something the average person could afford.

Three rounds of testing have already been conducted, eliminating more than half of the candidates.

Xu Yan then brought in five more examinees, three women and two men.

"Hello teachers, I am candidate number 0015, my name is Jiang Yiyan, I come from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and I am 166cm tall. I also ranked first in this written test. The recitation I prepared is 'If There Were Such a Dusk'."

Jiang Yiyan began to recite with deep emotion:

if

There was such an evening

We're all getting old.

A wooden chair

Leaning against another wooden chair

It must be

My right is

The one on the left is you

Shen Fang suddenly felt like he'd been struck by lightning again. Wasn't that the cake shop owner? Wow!

Liu Qianqian ate snacks while watching Jiang Yiyan's performance on stage. She nodded nodding in agreement.

"This girl is really good, I'd give her a 9 out of 10. What about you, Brother Chen Fang?"

Shen Fang looked at PaPa Jie and pouted: "She's not curvy at all, and she's nowhere near as pretty as you, Qianqian. I'd give her a 6. This girl is very cunning. No one else mentioned her exam scores, but she did. Qianqian, don't play with her anymore."

Liu Xiaoli nodded: "Qianqian, your brother Chen is right, this little girl is a bit cunning."

Not only did Shen Fang and the other two notice, but the teachers on stage also noticed, though no one said anything. This was indeed Jiang Yiyan's strength and her skill; even if she didn't say anything, the teachers on stage already knew her abilities. But pointing it out was a bit superfluous. Jiang Yiyan had performed well, especially when she cried after finishing her recitation, which made Shen Fang laugh out loud.
