The full name of Huaxi is Huaxia Drama Academy.

After the reform and opening up, the entertainment industry has developed at a rapid pace.

Although countless artists have admitted the hardships of this industry, it still cannot stop the enthusiasm of the candidates.

Every year, more than 100,000 students apply for Chinese opera entrance exams, but only a few hundred are actually admitted. The ratio is truly one in a thousand, so the competition is naturally extremely fierce.

Although there are many candidates who register for Chinese Opera every year, only a few students can actually enter the interview stage, barely one-tenth.

But this is also quite amazing. There are more than 100,000 people taking the exam, and the pass rate is only one in ten, which means there are more than 10,000 people. Among these more than 10,000 people, only a few hundred are selected, which is still one in a hundred.

Today is the day for the interview at the Chinese Opera House.

The interview for Chinese Opera is divided into two days, and the first day is the preliminary test.

Zhong Xue got up early in the morning.

She is very nervous.

The dream of many years will be realized in these two days.

I didn't sleep well last night and had dark circles under my eyes this morning. I helped Yingying make breakfast, but she couldn't eat it herself.

Tang Xiaobao had nothing to do these days. He was just waiting for Zhong Xue's interview to be over before returning to Bazhong. The director of The Voice of China called him and told him that the preliminary round of the program had ended. In half a month, the rematches of the sub-regions would be held in various places, and he would go to Chengdu to participate in the rematch of the western region and compete for the top eight in the sub-region.

Tang Xiaobao doesn't feel any pressure about this.

He was not particularly enthusiastic about the Voice of China program. More importantly, he had been praised so much that his self-confidence was overflowing. He himself did not believe that he would not be able to enter the top eight in the division.

"Hey, why aren't you eating?"

Tang Xiaobao stared at Zhong Xue while drinking porridge.

Zhong Xue sighed sadly, "How can I eat this? I have an interview soon."

"Oh, man is made of iron and rice is made of steel. There's no point in being anxious. Besides, why are you so anxious? You're doing so well in acting class. Didn't you get any sleep last night? Why are your eyes so dark?"

"Really? Is it really dark?" Zhong Xue said with a worried look on her face. "I've already put on makeup."

Tang Xiaobao smiled and said, "Not bad."

Zhong Xue sighed again: "Do you know what the interview for Huaxi Opera is about?"

"What exam? I'm not taking it, so how would I know?"

“Voice, lines, body shape, performance.”

Zhong Xue said with a bitter face.

Tang Xiaobao was puzzled: "Your acting is pretty good, right? Many professional actors can't compare to your crying scenes."

He felt deeply about this.

During this period, Zhong Xue would cry at home all the time, and she cried in all kinds of ways, which often scared him.

"It's not just about performance. My vocal skills are terrible and I'm tone-deaf." Zhong Xue said bitterly.

sweat……

"I've never heard you sing before. Is it really that bad? Are you really tone-deaf?" Tang Xiaobao said embarrassedly, "Don't you have He Yunzhang tutoring you?"

"No matter how great Teacher He is, he can't change my voice." Zhong Xue sighed, "He's also worried about me in this area."

Tang Xiaobao laughed and said, "Come on, sing a few lines for me."

"You really want to listen?"

"Yeah, I'm curious. I want to hear how bad it sounds."

"Okay, then you can't laugh at me."

"Okay, sing quickly."

Zhong Xue took a breath and thought.

Tang Xiaobao encouraged her while eating: "Sing! You are studying acting, so you can't be stage-frightened. Besides, there are no outsiders here, so no one will laugh at you if you sing."

Zhong Xue nodded and began to sing.

"As the night gradually brightens, the prosperity turns to frost. You gaze at me from afar, exhausting all the twilight. It's hard to forget you without thinking of you..."

puff!

Tang Xiaobao spit out his food.

Yingying also felt very uncomfortable.

Zhong Xue immediately stopped singing and said in embarrassment, "I promised not to laugh."

"Okay, okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore, and you don't sing anymore." Tang Xiaobao bit his lip, trying his best to control his smile.

“Isn’t it particularly unpleasant?”

"well enough."

"You're lying." Zhong Xue gritted her teeth and frowned, "Are you out of tune?"

"Tune? Absolutely not." Tang Xiaobao couldn't help it, chuckled, and laughed again, then laughed: "You are not in tune at all, hahahaha, I am dying of laughter."

Zhong Xue became even more embarrassed and angry. She glared at Tang Xiaobao fiercely and was so anxious that she almost cried.

"Still laughing, still laughing, brother-in-law, how can you be so heartless? I'm so anxious, and you still have the heart to laugh."

Tang Xiaobao coughed for a while, finally stopping his laughter, and comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay if you can't sing well. You've learned other subjects well, right? It depends on the comprehensive score. I believe you will definitely pass the exam."

“But I don’t trust myself.”

"There's nothing we can do about it. You have to do well in the exam. Hurry up and eat. I'll take you there later." Tang Xiaobao reminded.

"I can't eat anymore. I'm going to touch up my makeup."

Zhong Xue returned to the room.

After dinner, Zhong Xue came out. Tang Xiaobao frowned and said, "Go, take off your makeup!"

"Why? I have dark circles under my eyes." Zhong Xue frowned.

"You are so beautiful, but after putting on this makeup, you have lost all your original pure lolita look. Hurry up and take off your makeup. Listen to me, you won't go wrong. Hurry up, there is no time." Tang Xiaobao said seriously.

Zhong Xue was skeptical: "Really?"

Tang Xiaobao said, "It's already late. Am I still kidding you? Hurry up."

After a while, Zhong Xue took off her makeup.

Tang Xiaobao took a look and nodded repeatedly.

"It really looks much better. Let's go."

Before the two of them went out, Yingying encouraged Zhong Xue again.

In the car, Tang Xiaobao changed his appearance.

Zhong Xue became even more nervous.

Along the way, Tang Xiaobao felt relieved for a while, but Zhong Xue was still very nervous.

Tang Xiaobao felt somewhat relieved.

Judging from Zhong Xue's performance, it's a good thing that she found Yu Xiantao and He Yunzhang. Otherwise, she might not have passed the interview.

I know everything.

Tang Xiaobao believed that Yu Xiantao and He Yunzhang would not give him face in this matter.

He had helped them cure their illnesses, and he hadn't repaid them for that favor yet.

When he arrived near Huaxi Opera, Tang Xiaobao was shocked.

Traffic control.

Traffic police and police officers are everywhere.

The nearby streets are full of parked cars, and private cars can't get in at all.

Young boys and girls can be seen everywhere, holding registration forms in their hands, with different expressions on their faces.

But there is one thing in common.

These men and women are all very good-looking.

With Tang Xiaobao's keen eyesight, he could naturally tell that many of them had undergone plastic surgery, but he had to admit that there were so many handsome men and beautiful women here.

Let me put it this way, the average handsome man and beautiful woman in a crowd is just a passerby and will not attract any attention at all, unless they are extremely beautiful or extremely ugly, but this is also hard to find.

After parking the car nearby, Tang Xiaobao accompanied Zhong Xue to Huaxi Theater.
