In February, the capital city of Yanjing has already shown some green signs of early spring, but the cold wind still makes people feel a bit chilly. However, in front of the gate of Yanjing Film Academy, there are many people gathered, including men and women, old and young. Among these young people, regardless of male or female, they can be described as handsome guys and beautiful girls.
I think many people have already realized that this is the entrance examination of the Yanjing Film Academy, and it's the last one. However, at this critical moment, some people seem to be unable to hold on.
"Son, wake up! Wake up!"
"Child! What's wrong with you? What's happened to you?"
A middle-aged couple rushed around a young man in a panic because the exam was about to start, and their son had suddenly fainted.
"Where am I?!"
Wu Xiang felt his head was heavy and dull, it didn't feel like his own. The light was a bit piercing to the eyes, he quickly opened them. "This isn't right! Wasn't that a green light? Isn't this a pedestrian crossing? Why is someone yelling at me..."
"Huh?!" Wu Xiang was stunned on the spot, because he saw an unbelievable scene.
"Son! Are you awake?"
"Son, how are you?"
It's actually your own father and mother?!
I was just calculating the script, and I didn't notice that much, but Wu Xiang saw it very clearly. I didn't violate any traffic rules, but when I turned my head, I suddenly saw my old dad and mom. No, they're not old at all!
"Son, you scared me to death! What's wrong with you? Is it the pressure from these exams that's too much for you? Do we need to find a place for you to rest properly?" The concern in his mother's eyes made Wu Xiang feel warm inside, a feeling he hadn't experienced in years.
"This kid is really something, always messing up at critical moments. The exam is just around the corner and you're going to run away with your tail between your legs? What about all our previous efforts?" Father was right, unlike mother, he wouldn't spoil himself.
"You old man, the child is already like this, what are you still testing for? Our family's Xiangzi has been in poor health since childhood, aren't you going to take the child's life?" Mom was still like that, somewhat doting on herself.
Wu Xiang heard this and roughly understood that he seemed to have been reborn, and now was the most critical period of his life - the college entrance examination!
Wu Xiang has been fond of watching movies since he was a child, and he has always been very interested in the film and television industry. In his heart, he thought that if he couldn't become a big star, he would be a great director. So, when he was about to finish high school, he decided to take the entrance exam for an art school to become an art student.
If I'm not mistaken, it should be February 1997 now, which is the time for art college entrance exams. Since it was my first time traveling far away from home, even my mom and dad came along with me.
It can also be seen from here that Wu Xiang is actually a standard little emperor, with only one child in the family, and his parents' love is concentrated on him alone, which makes him have some of the diseases of a little emperor.
Arrogant, this is common, Wu Xiang thinks he can still control it, but there's one thing that's particularly deadly. This guy Wu Xiang is quite picky about food, which also makes his body not very good, extremely thin and weak.
The body is the capital of revolution, unfortunately, by the time Wu Xiang understood this truth, he had already committed an irreparable mistake.
It was this exam, it was this art exam that determined the fate of a person's life. Wu Xiang fainted before the final test due to poor health and although he persisted in completing it, he still failed to pass. The defeated Wu Xiang also didn't perform well during the college entrance exams and ended up attending a second-rate university. After graduating, he first became an online writer and later became a small scriptwriter, participating in many anti-Japanese dramas that were criticized by people.
Logically speaking, Wu Xiang could have taken the exam again, or even multiple times, but he didn't do so. This major setback left Wu Xiang disheartened and unable to face this exam again!
There's a reason for this, Wu Xiang is that kind of person, although he's a little emperor, but since childhood, he's been the legendary 'other people's child', to say in exams, math is a bit poor, but in liberal arts, has always been first, from primary school to high school, never spent a penny on school selection fees, all were admitted through exams to key schools, if not for some bias, being the top scholar would be a sure thing. So, although he's a little emperor, he also has the capital to be a little emperor.
It was precisely because of this that Wu Xiang, who had been proud and arrogant, was so defeated by this failure that he became self-abandoned.
So what's the situation now? Are you going to take the exam or not?!
"Let me tell you about the kid's condition, let's come back next year."
"How can you old women spoil children like this? This is called giving up halfway! How can they become talented if it goes on like this?"
Dad and mom started arguing with each other, even some parents of other candidates came over to watch, Chinese people like to gather around and watch the excitement.
"Hey big brother, what's your kid taking the exam for?" People are all like that, they like to get involved.
"My child is taking the literature class." The father replied politely.
"Hey big sister, your kid is really skinny, why don't you go back and prepare for next year?" Some onlookers also made reasonable suggestions after observing carefully.
"Uh..." Mom was also a bit embarrassed.
Nowadays, every family has only one child, and it's hard to bear the thought of hitting them. Sometimes, even scolding them makes me feel heartbroken. This is basically the case for most families in society.
Wu Xiang had already thought it through clearly, he simply hated the old self who would yield at every setback, he wanted to change all this, and this was an opportunity, one that he must seize!
"Mom, Dad, I'm fine, I'll take the exam!"
At this moment, Wu Xiang's parents saw something different from their child, as if their child had grown up...
As the crowd entered the examination room, Wu Xiang kept recalling the residual memories in his mind. In fact, he didn't have much confidence in his heart. For this exam, he really had too many complaints.
In fact, the exam failure was not entirely due to his own blackout, but also other reasons, such as Wu Xiang's over-answering in the previous exam.
In modern internet slang, that's just TOO YOUTH, TOO SIMPLE, SOMETIMES NAIVE!
At this time, Wu Xiang was somewhat young, although it is said that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but he was also somewhat immature and did not consider the problem thoroughly, which led to his failure in the exam.
Wu Xiang originally wanted to apply for the directing department, but in 1997, the Beijing Film Academy did not enroll undergraduate students in the directing department. It wasn't until the following year that they would enroll a class, so when applying to the film academy, Wu Xiang had no choice but to choose the literature department.
Actually, another art university 'Central Academy of Drama' did enroll undergraduate students for directing major, but Wu Xiang had been fascinated with film academy since he was young, so he didn't apply for it. This missed opportunity only proved to be the beginning of his mistakes.
The first trial wasn't a big deal, those were just some basic knowledge, as long as you don't have any major IQ problems you can basically pass, but when it comes to the re-examination, that's where the problem lies.
The re-examination of the literature department is about film analysis and writing, which was originally Wu Xiang's strong point. He had liked it since he was a child, so at this time, taking the exam was just a piece of cake?
When Wu Xiang saw this topic given out, he couldn't help it, because the movie that was used as a test question was "Qiu Ju Goes to Court"!
