Edward renamed his novel "The Invisible Lover" to "The Wall" and announced the start of filming online on June 24. Coincidentally, the day before the start of filming, June 27, was the day the college entrance examination results were released.
The company also attached great importance to Ye Yingying's score.
Although Ye Zhiwei also wanted to know Ye Yingying's approximate score, she didn't dare to disturb her at the moment. Although Ye Yingying was an art student, Ye Zhiwei had seen her hard work in the second semester of her senior year. She had almost no time for entertainment and slept very little at night. She was either reviewing knowledge points she had forgotten or doing practice questions. Although she hadn't studied properly at school for about a year, her previous scores were still quite good, and she had a solid foundation.
Naturally, Ye Zhiwei had high hopes for Ye Yingying.
However, when Ye Yingying sent herself a crying emoji, Ye Zhiwei, worried that Ye Yingying's grades hadn't met the standard, immediately comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay, as long as you reach the school's cutoff score, that's fine. If not, we'll see if there's any way to get extra points. Yanxi Opera has special admissions programs, and you participated in the TV series 'Yu Shi Shu' before, which should also give you extra points. As long as you've tried your best in the college entrance exam, that's enough. I saw you were very serious during that time, and your scores in the various mock exams before the college entrance exam were all pretty good. But after all, you studied for a year less, so it's normal for your grades to be unstable on the day of the college entrance exam due to various factors."
After these words, Ye Yingying sent a laughing emoji: "This is an emoji of being overjoyed and crying."
Ye Zhiwei: ? ? ?
Ye Yingying directly sent Ye Zhiwei a screenshot of her college entrance examination score of approximately 562.
This is already a pretty good score. Ye Zhiwei asked Ye Yingying to send her the approximate ranking and estimated that Ye Yingying's score might be at least 20 points higher than the first-tier university cutoff.
This score might be awkward for a normal student, falling somewhere in between, not quite good enough for top universities, and even getting into a first-tier university would be difficult. Some popular first-tier programs might not even be accessible. Considering the program, the school isn't great, and considering the school, the program isn't great either. But for an art student, this score is a game-changer.
This year's college entrance exam was quite difficult. The agency confirmed through connections that although Ye Yingying's academic score was not the highest this year, but was probably in the top three, her combined academic score and college entrance exam score made her the top student in the performance major. This might not establish her as a top student, but it was enough to refute many people who previously denied Ye Yingying's abilities.
Ye Zhiwei posted several screenshots of Ye Yingying's college entrance examination scores in one go. She not only posted them herself but also asked her close friends to post them. One of these friends had gained some popularity online for sharing her life at Peking University and making some humorous Versailles-style remarks. As soon as she posted them, the response was huge.
Some people below even asked if this meant they had accepted advertising and started generating some promotional traffic.
Ye Zhiwei's classmate replied using her stage name, Nanako: "No, actually, it's me trying to ride the wave of traffic. Thanks to the beautiful girl from our school for telling me this, giving me the opportunity to gain some attention."
This immediately sparked a lot of curiosity.
Netizens started asking all at once: "Holy crap, is she Ye Yingying's sister? Is Ye Yingying's sister very pretty?"
Nanako: Very beautiful, extremely beautiful. When Ye Yingying visited our school before, these two sisters caused a lot of buzz. How to put it? Ye Yingying's older sister is the kind of stunning beauty that guys can't handle, and her family is rich. Most guys only dare to praise her. Oh right, the beautiful girl's boyfriend is also a big shot. As for Ye Yingying's younger sister, she is very beautiful, the kind of ethereal and pure beauty that attracts a lot of ordinary guys.
Netizen: Wow, Yenching University has ordinary male students too?
Nanako: Most of them are good students with excellent character and academic performance, but their character and academic qualifications are not commensurate, so there are always some scoundrels who sneak in.
Ye Yingying wasn't the only one trending this time; several child stars who scored well in college entrance exams also trended. But Ye Yingying's trending topic was very strange; it was full of posts from top students.
Even Ye Zhiwei herself didn't know that her efforts to get people and classmates to support her sister had somehow spontaneously evolved into many students at Ye Yan University posting messages for Ye Yingying.
Ye Yingying seems to have no connection with Ye Yan University, and she even applied to Ye Yan Opera School, but under Ye Zhiwei's guidance, she has become a Ye Yan University student.
In fact, Ye Yingying had been trending on social media not long ago. This time, she is trending again because of her college entrance examination score, which is not very popular. Although her academic score is considered very good among many art students, it is not enough to stand out. However, she was blessed by a group of top scorers who scored over 650 on the college entrance examination. This unpopular situation is somewhat funny and humorous, especially since some top scorers from various regions also posted messages.
This immediately attracted a group of netizens to watch the spectacle.
A netizen named "Singing Roar on the Bridge of Helplessness" commented: "Goodness, at first I thought it was some kind of score, with a bunch of top students congratulating me. I didn't expect it to be 562. Actually, this score is really good, but I don't know why, seeing a group of top students with scores of 660 or even 700 praising someone with a score of 562, I suddenly felt sorry for this girl."
Netizens gouged out their own eyes to practice Lee Sin: Holy crap, were all these top students hacked?
Netizens commented: "This is the first time I've seen the entertainment industry and the academic world overlap. It's so incongruous!"
...
The various onlookers eventually led some of Ye Yingying's fans to spontaneously petition for the hashtag #PleaseDontSetUpYeYingyingWithAcademicProfession#, which became a trending topic.
When Ye Zhiwei looked at these trending topics again, she realized she couldn't control herself anymore. Her friends were sending her messages like, "Look, what a beautiful woman! I even got my senior colleagues in our department to share it too."
Ye Zhiwei: QAQ
She wasn't sure what kind of persona the company was trying to cultivate for Ye Yingying; she simply wanted to share her joy and asked her classmates to help post it. Who would have thought that these people would spontaneously congratulate Ye Yingying on scoring over 560 points—people who scored 100 or 200 points higher than her were congratulating her on achieving that score!
This incident took a dramatic turn into a comedy. The marketing team of the agency was indeed brilliant, seizing the opportunity. When fans were making a fuss on the agent's official Weibo account, the agent posted a laughing-crying emoji: "I really didn't want to create a 'top student' persona. This score wasn't because she's a top student. She's really hardworking. When she went to film Yu Shishu's movie, she carried a whole box of homework with her. And it's said that it was given to her by her top student sister. She studies whenever she has time."
The agent then sent several photos of Ye Yingying studying on set.
Ye Yingying had only been trending for a day when Edward seized the opportunity to release the cast list for the movie "The Wall." Ye Yingying dominated the trending list because of her beautiful appearance, hard work, and being the top-ranked actress in the Yanxi Festival this year. Even before the drama aired, Ye Yingying had already captured a lot of attention online.
