Chapter 4 is unexpectedly the champion scholar

  Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the Swallow City has entered the midsummer.

  "Hello, I'm a freshman from the class of '97. I've come to report for duty. My name is Wu Xiang."

  After ending the 12-hour train journey that was like a nightmare, Wu Xiang, who had just passed the college entrance examination, finally stood in front of the gate of Yanjing Film Academy. He carried two large bags, wearing a simple T-shirt and a pair of loose pants that didn't quite match his long legs, swaying back and forth. No way, it's really hot today, and this old green train doesn't even have air conditioning.

  "Hello, new classmate! I'm Sun Lei, your senior. Come on, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and help out!" Sun Shi Jie looked at Wu Xiang's posture and felt a bit of danger, so she immediately called for someone to come over.

  Sun Lei, Wu Xiang knew that she would also appear in many films and TV dramas later on, but not as a big star. However, her husband was no ordinary person. Later on, Sun Shi Jie would marry a teacher from this school, who was not much older than them, but he was indeed talented. Not only did he excel in film, television, and music, but he also taught at the Film Academy, and his name was Huang San Shi.

  "Wu, which department are you in? Can I see your admission letter?" Seeing Wu Xiang looking a bit dazed, Sun Lei's side seemed very enthusiastic. She had seen many unsophisticated country boys like him before.

  "Oh, Master Sister is good, this is my admission notice." Wu Xiang hurriedly collected his own awkwardness. To be honest, he had also dreamed of it before, such as what if he was accepted by Jiang Qin or Zhao Wei, that would be great. However, Wu Xiang also understood that at this time, they should all be filming.

  "Ah, a literature major, Wu Xiang, ah, what a great talent! In the future, if you have any good books, don't forget to share them with your senior sister." Sun Lei was very enthusiastic, and the atmosphere of this conversation was quite pleasant.

  "Sister, don't be too polite to me, I'm not some kind of genius, this title is still..." Wu Xiang naturally wanted to show humility, but before he could finish speaking, Sun Li immediately interrupted him.

  "You're being too modest, excessive humility is just pride... Eh? You don't know that?"

  Sun Lei's words made Wu Xiang a bit confused, "Sister, what do you mean?"

  "Hey, you really don't know? You're the top student in the literature class!" Sun Lei looked at Wu Xiang as if he were an alien.

  "What!?" Wu Xiang was shocked.

  The literature class, in fact, is the literature department. Those who are called "class" are all familiar with each other. No way, this year the literature department only recruited 18 people, just one class. Of course, this was something Wu Xiang found out later. But where did the top scholar come from?

  "You really don't know? You, Wu Xiang, the first in the 1997 literature class." Sun Li now truly believed that this junior didn't know about it at all.

  Wu Xiang didn't know, after finishing the third exam he immediately returned to his hometown, because he still had important things to do, one was that book he thought of, and another was that he had to review high school knowledge, if he couldn't graduate and get a high school diploma, then this year's film academy would be in vain, they wouldn't want him.

  "Hmm, another top scorer, let me take a look."

  "How beautiful was the one just now! This time I went, how come this one is so thin? Entirely like a zombie."

  A group of senior brothers came over and made a lively scene, and took the opportunity to surround Wu Xiang with inhumane staring.

  "Go away...!" Sun Lei was displeased, looking at the quality of these guys, "What's all the commotion about? Whoever feels like it can just stay where they are!"

  "Hey! How fresh is this? Just now someone came to help, and now they're being chased away. Okay, I'll leave first then!" Immediately, the teasing started again, and Wu Xiang himself was a thin and unattractive young man, so the other disciples instantly scattered like birds and beasts.

  "Ugh! Look at you all, don't you have any quality as seniors?!" Sun Lei was truly helpless towards these old classmates.

  "Hehe, nothing much." Wu Xiang, who had just arrived, could only swallow his tail and pretend to be a human.

  Sun Lei felt a bit embarrassed, "Don't mind them, they're just a bunch of hormonal youngsters, I'm rooting for you, sis."

  "Haha......" Wu Xiang could only laugh and rub his head.

  "New life, new life, how can you all be so lazy!?!" Sun Li looked at Wu Xiang's skinny body and thought she really had to help him out.

  "Sister, I can handle it, don't worry." Wu Xiang brushed it off, he wasn't a female classmate after all.

  "Look at you all sweaty, take a break first." Sun Li didn't care about that.

  "Here, here." Finally someone came, this voice was somewhat lazy and seemed to be muttering to himself, "I knew it would be my turn for nothing good, everyone else gets beauties, but I get a zombie."

  "What are you talking about! You're just a barbarian!" Sun Lei gave this guy a disdainful look, how could he judge people by their appearance?

  Wu Xiang still smiled, but he no longer refused his senior brother's help.

  "Hello fellow student, I'm your senior, your dormitory is East House 307, come with me."

  This lazy guy has a head of extremely artistic long hair, although it can't be braided into a big braid yet, but the shoulder-length is always there. However, this guy's magnetic voice and that signature high-low eyebrow still gave him away.

  Chen Kun! Wu Xiang didn't expect that he would actually meet such a big star like this, although it's in the future, but seeing the real person is still not bad.

  Wu Xiang hurriedly put away his own despicable psychology of chasing stars, but from what he heard just now, this guy is also in the restless stage of youth at this time.

  We've arrived at our destination, and the dormitory is not far away. After turning a few corners and climbing up to the third floor, we'll arrive at Wu Xiang's future battleground.

  "Alright, I've helped you this far, brother. See you later." Chen Kun put the thing on the dorm floor and hurriedly prepared to leave, as if afraid of missing the beautiful sister.

  "Elder brother Chen, don't be in a hurry." Wu Xiang also put down the package in his hand, but this sentence stopped Chen Kun.

  "You, how did you know my surname is Chen?" Chen Kun was extremely surprised. All along the way, he hadn't exchanged a single word with this Wu Xiang, yet this kid actually knew his surname. This was truly strange!

  Wu Xiang, having achieved his goal with just one sentence, calmly sat down on his bed, "I've said it, Brother Chen probably doesn't believe me either. Forget it, you should go back and pick up those beautiful female classmates of yours."

  "Hey, you're really something else. Tell me straight out today, how did you know my surname? Have you been investigating me?" Chen Kun didn't want to leave now, he had to get to the bottom of it.

  "Haha, Brother Chen, what are you investigating?" Wu Xiang said matter-of-factly.

  Chen Kun also thought it was reasonable. He himself didn't have any background, so who would come to investigate him? "Are you my fellow townsman? From Chongqing?"

  "My northeast is Ga Dade, you can check my registration information."

  "Did you take the film academy exam last year?"

  "I am this year's graduate."

  "This is strange......" Chen Kun was somewhat puzzled, how did this junior know his surname?

  "Can't Brother Chen believe that I'm the lucky one for you?" Wu Xiang's current expression was as if he was about to lay out a fortune-telling board, and his hands were holding a fan.

  "Don't talk nonsense, I don't believe in feudal superstition!" Chen Kun confirmed his scientific attitude.

  Wu Xiang thought to himself, no wonder this guy could play Qian Xuesen later. But he wanted to tease Chen Kun's mentality even more, "Brother, I not only know your surname is Chen, but also that you're called Chen Kun, right?"

  "What?! This is even stranger, they even know my name."

  "I don't just know these things, I've also calculated them. Brother Chen, you currently have some obstacles in your heart, it seems like you feel unsuitable for acting and want to do something else, is that right?!"

  Wu Xiang's words were like a thunderclap in Chen Kun's ears.

  "How did you know?!" Chen Kun was almost frightened, he felt like he was naked in front of his junior.

  Of course, Wu Xiang didn't have this idea. He didn't like chrysanthemum or soap, but the things on Baidu Baike had been used up, and he felt that he had fooled around enough. He should reveal the answer now.

  "Haha, actually I calculated it myself, but, Brother Shifu, don't think too much about it, this calculation is not that calculation, I also uphold Marxism-Leninism and Mao's thought, and I don't believe in those feudal superstitions."

  "So tell me, how did you calculate it?" Chen Kun was no longer afraid now, but his interest had been piqued. This junior seemed to have some skills after all.

  "It's simple." Wu Xiang waved his arm, as if gently shaking a paper fan. "I've read a lot of materials about the film academy for the exam, including the top students over the years. Brother Chen is a great talent, last year he was first in the third trial, right or not?"

  "That's right!" Chen Kun didn't evade the question, it was his pride after all. However, "But how did you know that I was the one who came in first in the three exams? I don't have any photos circulating outside."

  This is the key point, however, Wu Xiang had thought it through, "Thinking of Brother Chen's first attempt at being number one, what glory, what talent? But after reading books for a year, many of his classmates have already gone out to film, some have even been nominated for big awards, but Brother Chen is still unknown, I'm sure he must have a lot of pent-up frustration. So, actually everything earlier was just my guess, heh heh..."

  At this time Wu Xiang was clearly a reincarnation of Zhuge Liang or perhaps a Di Renjie without the small mustache!

  "What?! Chen Kun was a bit unacceptable with this result, but Wu Xiang immediately spoke again."

  "Three trials first, what kind of state is that? First and foremost, one must be handsome, I took a look at Brother Chen and felt a sense of dragon and phoenix among men." Wu Xiang was answering while flattering.

  "It's too kind of you, too kind...". Regardless of whether it's a man or woman, as long as they're being praised for their looks, no one will be unhappy.

  "And, Brother Chen's melancholic temperament clearly fits the feeling of having great ambitions but being unable to fulfill them, a precious pearl cast into darkness. So I can immediately determine that I'm lucky, encountering last year's top scholar Brother Chen as soon as I entered school."

  "Ah, haha, where, where." Chen Kun was flattered by Wu Xiang's praise and suddenly had a much better attitude towards this younger schoolmate.
