Entertaining Children

  Chapter 357 Candidate Demeanor

  The art examinations of the Shen Opera Performance Department all ended. Xiao Yao, Lin Qisan, and Nina Ayiguli all passed three rounds of rigorous selection as they wished. Next, they are both fresh graduates who need to go back to their respective schools to prepare for the college entrance examination a few months later.

On the night of the third trial release, Xiao Yao packed up his things, took the same flight with Zhao Rui and Zhu Zitong, and left Shencheng together and returned to Yanjing. Before that, together with Lin Qisan, they said goodbye to Nina Ayiguli who was returning to Uganda by plane.

Although Xiao Yao said that he could recommend Lin Qisan and Nina Aiguli to audition roles in the crew of "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", not everyone has the skill and luck of Xiao Yao's enchanting evildoer and can play in the first play. On the supporting role. Lin Qisan and Nina Ayiguli are far less experienced in acting than Zhao Rui and Zhu Zitong. Several of the main characters in the play are still not able to control them. The roles in the play that they can win are all small supporting actors who have not too many scenes. It is still a few months away from filming, and the crew is still in the preparatory stage. Even the main actors have not yet been finalized, and it is far from the day when they audition for those small supporting roles.

  Although Xiao Yao, who returned to Yanjing, immediately put the matter of Shen Xiyi test behind him, the matter of getting the Shen Xiyi test did not end there.

After the second test list of the Shen Opera Performance Department came out, many entertainment reporters who had seen the list suspected that Xiao Yao who ranked first in the second test was him. When Xiao Yao was not caught at the second test and the third test, they would naturally not miss it when the third test was released. Since the three-test list is related to the professional lives of many candidates, the downstairs of Shenxi Teaching has already been surrounded by candidates and parents who are anxious to see the results of the list. Those reporters are also interested in not squeezing into those anxious watching. Among the crowd on the list, it was mixed among the crowd of onlookers watching the excitement.

When the young people on the roll call out Xiao Yao’s name, the reporters felt happy, and when Xiao Yao was lifted up by Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan, the reporters equipped with telephoto lenses knew it. They clearly saw Xiao Yao’s face, and Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan, who were holding him, were recognized by reporters at the same time. In addition, Xiao Yao also sang an original song live, and these reporters also confirmed this. The youngest winner of the "Golden Disc" Award not only participated in the art test of Shen Opera, but also got the first place on the two lists of the art test of Shen Opera Performance Department. It is very rare to become another true Shen Opera artist in recent years. No. 1 in the sense.

Therefore, the youngest winner of the "Golden Disc" award went back to the showbiz, took part in the art test of the Shenxi Opera Department, and won the first two lists. The news of the top prize soon appeared in various entertainment media. Reporting.

  Everyone is not surprised that Xiao Yao participated in the art examination of the Performing Department. What is a little puzzled is that Xiao Yao did not go to the two famous film and television schools in Yanjing, but instead went to Shencheng to go to the Shencheng Kao Shen Opera. Among the three major film and television academies, Shen Opera was the last to hold art examinations. At this time, the art examinations of Yandian and Huaxi had already ended, and even the results had already come out. Entertainment reporters in Shanghai can dig out news about Xiao Yao’s application for the show. If Xiao Yao also participated in the art examinations of those two film and television academies, the local entertainment reporters from Yanjing who are more familiar with Xiao Yao would not be able to do so. Xiao Yao was missed in the examination room at home, and there was no news at all.

  Other than that, what shocked everyone most was the achievements of Xiao Yao. Over the years, there have been more and more child stars or second-generation celebrities, who are themselves very popular, taking part in the art examinations of film and television academies. There is no doubt that these people have certain advantages in the art test, because they are more familiar with the performing arts profession, and they also have good talents. Generally speaking, many of them are admitted and very few are eliminated. But over the years, there has never been a well-known celebrity who has ever become the top number one in the art examination of China's three major film and television academies, and even few have entered the top ten.

  Therefore, many people on the Internet also questioned Xiao Yao's achievements.

"Even though Xiao Yao’s devil’s name has long been well-known, but in the past two years, Xiao Yao’s main demon performance is still in music. If Xiao Yao was admitted to the Conservatory of Music, I would not be surprised what he achieved, but he was admitted to the Department of Performance. It’s too horrible to get the champion as well, isn’t it? Is Shen Xi looking at his celebrity status, so he clicked his champion to create topics and increase popularity?" Some netizens who are skeptical are here. Post online.

"It’s not that no celebrities have gone to Shenxi to test before. Who has seen Shenxi deliberately order a star champion? Shenxi is to train celebrities. In their eyes, how big a celebrity is not the same as ordinary candidates? Yishen Does the status of the drama still need to rely on this manufacturing topic to increase its popularity? In China, who doesn't know the three major film and television colleges?" Some netizens retorted with different opinions.

"Agree upstairs. Add that although Xiao Yao's main performance in the past two years has been in music, don't forget that other people's acting is also very good. The first one he participated in is, of course, the only TV series so far. For the best newcomer who won the Feitian Award, his acting skills have been recognized and affirmed by professionals. People are already very good in acting. What is impossible to get the number one winner in the art examination of the Department of Acting by their skill?"

"The best newcomer is nothing more than an emperor or the best male partner. What can it explain? It's not that the best newcomer has gone to participate in the art exams of the three major film and television academies. Who has won the top prize? A ready-made example is Zhu Zitong, the best rookie of last year's Feitian Award. She is also a freshman who participated in the Yandian Art Examination this year, but her score was only seventh in the second test and ninth in the third test. You must know that Xiao Yao took After the award, he hasn’t acted for two years. Whether it was a few years before or after winning the award, Zhu Zitong has been filming constantly. Overall, Xiao Yao is definitely more enchanting, but Xiao Yao is better than Zhu Zitong in terms of acting skills. Is it okay? Is it because Xiao Yao's name is bigger? Or because Shen Xi values ​​the identity and reputation of candidates more than Yan Dian."

  Despite the controversy on the Internet, Xiao Yao, who has returned to school, still did not make any public response. Of course, this is in line with his usual style of behavior. But no one expected that the Shanghai Theater Academy actually made an official response to this incident.

   Just a week after the end of the three exams, when Xiao Yao got the top prize in the art examination of the Shen Opera Performance Department, there was the most heated debate on the Internet. The Shencheng Academy of Drama published a statement on its official website.

The statement did not say that Xiao Yao’s name should be rectified or that the school did not have any partiality in the exam. There was no silver three hundred taels here. It only announced that the school will implement a new measure starting this year. Beginning this year, within one week after the end of the art test of the Performing Department every year, all the examination videos of the top three candidates in the second and third exams of the final scores of the performing arts department will be published on the school official website.

  The art examinations of the three major film and television academies each year, especially after the art examinations of the Performing Department are over, will always cause some controversy, and shady talks almost happen every year. Because Xiao Yao took the No. 1 prize in the art exam of the Department of Performing Arts of Shen Opera this year, Shen Opera received a lot of criticism this year, so the school leaders who had been fed up with this situation gritted their teeth and made the decision to make the exam video public. .

In fact, in the past few years, it is not that the leaders of the three major film and television colleges have considered this approach, but for art performances, everyone’s taste and aesthetics are different, and the top three have their own advantages and disadvantages in all aspects. , If this method is adopted, the ranking between the top three alone can arouse public criticism. But this year, the school leaders knew that as soon as the video was released, everyone's eyes would inevitably be on Xiao Yao's performance. Even if you want to compare, compare him with the other two candidates. And they also believe that Xiao Yao's performance in the exam can definitely withstand all the criticisms of netizens.

  Any new initiative is the most questioned and criticized at the very beginning, and the more people who are used to it, the easier it will be accepted. As long as Xiao Yao's performance against the sky this year establishes the school's professional authority through this method, when it is handled in the future, the school will be much less questioned and controversial.

  The netizens who saw this automatic pop-up statement on the official website of the Shanghai Theatre Academy could easily find an extra section on the official website of "examinee demeanor over the years". The two words "calendar" in the name of the section show that Shen Opera does not post the video on the official website for a few days and then remove it, but will hang it for a long time. It will be added later instead of replacing this year’s videos. This approach seems to show that these videos will not be technically falsified and can withstand the careful scrutiny of everyone over the years.

  Therefore, countless interested netizens have clicked on the new section of the official website of the Shanghai Theatre Academy. After entering the inner page of the section, it shows the simple personal information copied from the top three entry forms of the art test this year, registration photo, hometown and other simple personal information, and when you move the mouse to the photo and the text color different from other texts When the name is on, the change of the mouse icon shows that these two items correspond to further inner page links. When you click on the corresponding name or photo and enter another internal page, you will see a few videos with the test content as the title. Click to start playing directly.

Some netizens who did not rush to watch the video content first clicked on the links of the names of the three candidates to see if the videos of the three candidates were actually released, and were surprised to find that the second and third place There are seven exam videos on the inside page of the name, but there are nine of Xiao Yao's!

  "Is there really a special treatment?" Those netizens checked the title of the video carefully, and then they could see the reason from the introduction under the title of the video.

  It turns out that one of the videos shows Xiao Yao cooperating with another candidate to complete the other party’s talent show during the three trials. The introduction also specifically emphasized that Xiao Yao's performance in this video was not counted in the scores, but because it was also the performance of the candidates in the examination room, it was released in the style of the candidates, purely for the appreciation of netizens. The other video is Xiao Yao's remarks after knowing his own results on the day when the ranking was released. It is a display of the examinee's style inside the school and outside the examination room. When recording this video, the test has already ended and the results are naturally not counted in the score.
