Chapter 12
The first place was an amateur who had not yet debuted, so he did not attract much attention. As a result, the second place Zheng Qingze took the lead and bought hot searches and press releases, which caused widespread discussion.
Zheng Qingze's fans are celebrating like it's Chinese New Year: [Qingze ranked second in the acting department of A University! Oh my god, I'm so proud! This is the idol I support! ]
[Hahaha, now I just want to say: Qingze is awesome! ]
[Ahhh, our Qingze is a real academic master! Now we can give those haters a slap in the face! ]
[Who wants to be judged by their performance? 「狗头」]
Xiao Yumo applied to University C and did not take the art exam at University A. Although he and Zheng Qingze were rivals, they could not be compared for the time being. But Lu Ning, the "academic tyrant" who was compared to Zheng Qingze by Xiao Yumo, could be used to trample on.
So new comments were added under Lu Ning’s Weibo post.
[This is so funny. Who said that we should let our grades speak for us? Does your face hurt? ]
[Don't you have any idea of your own worth? Why do you have to come out and show off? ]
[He made such a bold statement, but ended up being the last one, xswl! ]
[Hahaha, second place and last place, there is no harm without comparison. ]
[What's there to laugh at? They're talking about college entrance exam results, not art exam results? ]
[Art exam results can also largely tell how good a person is. A truly excellent person is excellent in all aspects.]
[When he said that, I thought he was so amazing, but now he shows me this? ]
[Why make such a big deal? Let’s just wait and see the college entrance examination results. ]
When Lu Ning took the art exam, he was still in Xinquan. On the one hand, he had a lot of announcements to catch up to, and on the other hand, Xinquan never provided Lu Ning with any acting courses. Everything depended on Lu Ning's talent and spirituality to explore on his own. Under such circumstances, it was actually quite difficult to pass such a formal exam.
Yu Nuo knew at a glance that someone was deliberately stirring up trouble online, completely mistaking the concepts of art exams and college entrance exams. This behavior was really disgusting. With the college entrance exams just over two months away, she had seen Lu Ning's hard work and progress in studying during this period. If Lu Ning's mentality was really ruined, she would be really pissed off.
She said to Lu Ning: "It's good that you passed the art exam. Just focus on preparing for the college entrance exam and don't let these things affect you."
Lu Ning did not react to the online public opinion at all, and even smiled at Yu Nuo sheepishly, saying: "No, Sister Yu Nuo, after studying so far, I feel that the art exam seems to have no meaning to me. I think studying is more interesting, and I want to do research at Huazhong University."
Yu Nuo: “???” Am I your agent or your life mentor?
"But if that's the case... I'm really sorry that Huanyu gave me such a good contract..."
Yu Nuo quickly said: "No, no, no, you haven't let the world down." Anyway, the world didn't spend much money on training Lu Ning to be an artist, but the teacher spent millions on Lu Ning's studies.
Wait... So, did the teacher plan this a long time ago? He was pushing Lu Ning further and further on the road of learning, intentionally or unintentionally.
Is it possible that the world will add a new project called the Tsinghua-Peking University Class in the future?
After Lu Ning passed the exam, his slogan became “One million will send you to Peking University or Tsinghua University”?
[The plot reversal value of "Pregnant with a Rich Old Man's Child" is 60%. ]
…
March is the month when grass grows, birds sing, and everything comes back to life, and the sun is bright and sunny.
In the film and television studio "Night Talk" crew, there is a huge parasol, underneath is a comfortable lounge chair, and next to it is a small folding table with various personal belongings on it.
"Ka! Perfect!"
"This game is over, let's take a break."
Yu Zhou's emotions were taken out of the play, and his tender eyes towards the beautiful heroine immediately turned into disgust; the heroine also knew that this guy was even more "princess-sick" than her, so she tactfully ran to the side to chat with the second female lead.
Yu Zhou returned to the parasol, and the assistant handed him a pair of sunglasses and a glass of lemon juice at just the right temperature. The makeup artist looked at his face carefully and found that the makeup was still perfect, then went to rest nearby.
Yu Zhou bit the straw, took a sip of lemon juice, flipped through the script on his knees that was full of marks and annotations, and took a pen from the small table next to him and marked a few more sentences on it, looking very serious and focused.
The director looked through the footage, strode over to Yu Zhou, and not seeing a stool nearby, he squatted down and said, "Teacher Yu, what do you think of the scene we just shot? Is there anything you want to change?"
Yu Zhou took off his sunglasses, sat up straight and said, "Xiao Zhao, go get a stool for Director Xu." Director Xu had made several high-quality films, but they were not popular. Yu Zhou liked him very much, and besides, one should still have basic courtesy towards elders.
"Hey! Thank you, thank you." Director Xu was a little flattered. Although the crew was his territory, Yu Zhou rarely looked up to anyone.
"If you ask me, my acting was okay, mainly because the script was well written." When it comes to acting, Yu Zhou has very high demands on himself. He says that if it's okay, it means it's very good.
Director Xu immediately said, "How can you say it's okay! Your acting is simply perfect." Even the supporting actors were brought into the play by Yu Zhou. This was simply the most worry-free crew he had ever led. There was no need for him to shout at the top of his lungs about the play.
He continued to ask tentatively: "So what do you think... will this movie be a hit?" He has made several flops, and despite good word of mouth, the ratings were never very good, so he was desperate to be a hit. This time, a human-shaped koi, Yu Zhou, finally came. Can he finally turn his life around?
"Will it be a hit?" Yu Zhou thought carefully for Director Xu, "It will definitely be a small hit." The movie he starred in would definitely not be a flop, even if it wasn't a huge hit.
"But if it's a big hit..." He flipped through the script, "The storyline of the female lead, the second female lead and me may need to be revised."
"The plot line of the script is very well written, and each case is very exciting, but the emotional line is too cliché. The heroine and the second heroine both like the hero, and they become enemies and confront each other. How many years ago did this kind of drama come about?"
“It’s better to enrich their characters. Although the policewoman and the female villain were rivals in love in the early stage, they became evenly matched in the process of fighting, sympathized with each other, and respected each other. One is to uphold the justice and dignity of the law, and the other is to avenge the innocent on the evildoers. They just have different positions. And they…” Yu Zhou added a lot of rival scenes for the heroine and the second female lead.
"That makes sense." Director Xu was stunned and said, "Then should we delete some of the emotional scenes between you and them?"
Yu Zhou said seriously, "Of course it was deleted, and the interaction between the female lead and the second female lead was increased. Why do criminal investigation dramas need so many emotional scenes?"
He flipped through his script again: "Also, Director Xu, look, this is the character biography I wrote for them. The character settings can be like this..." Yu Zhou continued to talk about helping the female lead and the second female lead to enrich their character settings.
Director Xu was stunned when he saw the script filled with words written by Yu Zhou. Is this the strength of the human koi? It turns out that it is all hard work behind the scenes. He nodded continuously: "Oh, OK, I will discuss it with the screenwriter team now."
He couldn't help but sigh again: "It would be great if you, Mr. Yu, brought your own screenwriter to the team."
Yu Zhou sipped his lemonade and said, "Isn't this what the media often writes about me being a big shot?"
Director Xu chatted with Yu Zhou and was very excited: "No, no, no, Mr. Yu, it was not until today that I realized that for truly outstanding actors, directors always beg them to act like big shots."
The assistant turned around and whispered to the makeup artist next to him, "Our brother Zhou is fooling people again. He doesn't want to shoot a love scene, so he just makes up a bunch of lesbian stories for the heroine and the second female lead..."
The makeup artist said, "But whatever Brother Zhou does for the crew always goes viral. I don't know why, but he is born to cater to the audience's tastes."
The assistant sighed, "Usually, the investors would charge extra money for adding scenes to the female lead or the second female lead, but our brother Zhou just opened his mouth and added scenes to them, and he didn't charge for it. He was so popular."
The makeup artist was more concerned about Yu Zhou's skin: "Brother Zhou specifically picked the drama 'Night Talk' this time. Could it be because he doesn't want to be exposed to the sun, and many scenes of this drama are shot at night?"
Hearing this, Yu Zhou finally turned around: "You guys are standing behind me and talking so loudly, do you really think I can't hear you? Of course I chose "Night Talk" because I have good taste."
The assistant and makeup artist immediately swore: "Yes, that's right, our Brother Zhou has the best taste."
Brother Zhou is the "little princess" of their studio. Apart from being a little bit spoiled and not liking others to say he is spoiled, he is very nice to everyone in the studio and even his assistants and makeup artists dare to make jokes with him.
The crew here had rested enough and were preparing to start work, but the crew next door was very busy. From a distance, they saw several staff members carrying a lot of things over.
It looked like something was going on, so Director Xu waited for two minutes. Several staff members walked over to the venue and greeted everyone politely.
Then he said, "Qingze from our crew just checked his art exam results, and everyone urged him to treat us. It just so happens that our crews are next to each other, so we came over to give him a treat."
"The milk tea has a little sugar in it, so you can drink it without worry." They carried several large bags of milk tea and distributed them to the crew of "Night Talk".
"I heard Qingze ranked second in the exam, that's great, the kid has a promising future."
"You even came all the way to give us a copy. That's really very polite."
Everyone received milk tea and said a few polite words.
The show next door is an idol drama, with mostly young people, while here there are more veteran actors with certain experience in the film and television industry. Zheng Qingze uses this method to make a name for himself and leave an impression, which can be said to be quite a good way of dealing with people.
The female lead took the milk tea and put it aside, then lowered her head and whispered to the second female lead, "Zheng Qingze was the one who forced you to be a couple last time, and after the purification, his fans came to call you an old woman?"
The second female lead didn't care much and said, "Yeah."
The female lead immediately expressed disdain: "It's too deliberate to come and give him milk tea. Is he afraid that someone doesn't know that he got second place?"
"He may not want to show off his achievements, but he just wants to find an excuse to get close to him. The people in the group are pretty awesome." The second female lead held her chin and pouted at Yu Zhou, "The most important thing is, this guy is here."
The female lead and the second female lead sat together, holding their faces, looking like they were enjoying a good show.
"This guy is a fake celebrity. He's a germaphobe. Do you think he'll touch that milk tea?"
"Teacher Yu." Zheng Qingze's assistant came to Yu Zhou and took out a specially packaged portion. "Qingze heard that you have mysophobia, so he asked the milk tea shop to make a separate portion for you."
Assistant Xiao Zhao immediately reached out to help Yu Zhou take it. Yu Zhou said indifferently: "Thank you for his kindness, but I don't eat out."
The crew member next to him was drinking milk tea. After hearing the news that Zheng Qingze ranked second, he opened Weibo and saw Lu Ning's news. He sighed, "Lu Ning actually ranked last. It seems a bit embarrassing."
Yu Zhou didn't pay much attention to trending searches. He just heard the news now and was a little confused: "Lu Ning? Why does Lu Ning want to take the art exam? Isn't he going to take the entrance exams for Beijing University and Huazhong University?"
Zheng Qingze's assistant was also a little surprised. Did someone as high up as Mr. Yu actually know Lu Ning? Did he think, like Xiao Yumo, that Lu Ning was going to apply to Beijing University or Huazhong University? What kind of filter did they have for Lu Ning?
Assistant Xiao Zhao reminded: "Brother Zhou, check the trending searches."
Yu Zhou followed his instructions and clicked on Weibo, looking through the trending searches. After looking at them for two minutes, he commented: "Is it so obvious that the press releases for slandering people have been bought now?"
The female lead and the second female lead who were eating melons next to them almost laughed out loud when they heard this. Yu Zhou's words were too "straightforward". What was Yu Zhou's status in the circle? If this got out, Zheng Qingze would no longer be a human being.
"I told you, don't mess with Yu Zhou for no reason. He's so handsome in the movies, but he's so difficult to deal with outside of the movies."
Zheng Qingze's assistant next to him hadn't left yet. He wanted to see what Yu Zhou's attitude was, and then when he heard this, his face immediately darkened.
But Yu Zhou continued to comment nonchalantly: "He clearly said four months later. Judging from the date, it's the college entrance examination. Can't these people read? What's the art exam?"
Yu Zhou's tone seemed as if he was talking about his own disappointing son: "And the same goes for Lu Ning. Why should a good senior high school student take the art exam? It's a waste of time." In his mind, since even Fu Yunshen nodded at the result, it must be correct.
When Yu Zhou said this, Zheng Qingze's assistant's face turned black. It turned out that there was a reason why so many people in the circle hated Yu Zhou. He reluctantly said, "Teacher Yu, I'll go back first."
In Yu Zhou's eyes, Lu Ning was almost one of his own. If one of his own was bullied, of course he would help to get back at him.
So he reposted a Weibo post from a marketing account mocking Lu Ning and commented: [Can’t you tell the difference between the art exam and the college entrance exam? ]
The female spectator next to her instantly saw Yu Zhou’s Weibo. She suddenly had an idea and ran to Yu Zhou and said, “Teacher Yu, I have a suggestion…”
Yu Zhou listened quietly, found it interesting, and said with a smile: "Very good."
So the heroine and he took a photo of their respective milk teas, and each posted a bitchy Weibo: [Thank you Qingze from the next-door crew for the milk tea to celebrate the art exam. [Picture]]
