Hao Ting had already walked to the two of them. Wen Nian had seen the examination number and examination hall pinned to her clothes just now and knew that she was also in the 16th examination hall.
So, facing the girl in front of her, Wen Nian said, âIâm not sure about that. There are too many teachers inside. But it seems like there are more candidates wearing Hanfu costumes. You see, the guy who lent me his clothes is also dressed in ancient costume.â
âThen, is it inappropriate for me to prepare a Rumba?â the girl asked nervously.
Wen Nian, glancing at Hao Ting eavesdropping nearby, said, âRumba should be fine. I saw the ballroom dance teacher in our examination room. But I heard she dislikes Spanish dance the most. It seems like a few girls who performed it just now didnât pass, right?â
The girl nodded vigorously, âYes, yes! I just saw a few girls in Spanish costumes come out with disappointed expressions. They all said the teacher didnât seem to like these kinds of dances. So, I wanted to ask you.â
Hao Ting, overhearing this, felt a shock. Her Spanish dance was undoubtedly top-notch. However, the downside of the art examination was its strong subjectivity. Especially when the teachers were from the same school, one personâs strong preference could influence others, affecting the candidatesâ scores. Moreover, if the dance teacher didnât like it?
Hao Ting, thinking that Wen Nian didnât know her and that Wen Nian didnât recognize the girl in front of her, believed in the authenticity of their conversation even more.
Thinking about how she had indeed heard a few dancing girls say that the teacher had an expressionless face while watching their performances, Hao Ting became increasingly convinced that she had no chance.
Just then, the girl asked Wen Nian again, âIf I change my talent now, is there still time?â
Wen Nian pretended to ponder for a moment and then said, âUnless you have a particularly outstanding talent, itâs better to stick with dancing. HoweverâŠâ
She paused and continued, âI heard from Director Xu that talents can also be telling jokes or situational comedies, right? If you want to stand out, how about a beauty acting ugly? Pretending to be crazy or foolish? After all, we are in the performance department, and who knows, you might pass?â
Under normal circumstances, Hao Ting would never believe Wen Nianâs words. But the problem was that Wen Nian mentioned Director Xu in her words.
In the entertainment industry today, who dares to underestimate Director Xu? Especially when Hao Ting knew about Director Xuâs powerful family background, he was not just a self-made man from a poor family!
She thought for a moment and immediately returned to the changing room. She decided to try Wen Nianâs method. Hao Ting had already filmed a few online dramas. Although it was not very popular, she had learned some acting. She felt that she would definitely be fine.
Seeing Hao Ting return to the changing room and looking at the dumbfounded little girl in front of her, Wen Nian patted her shoulder. âIâm just teasing you! The teachers have watched too many dances, just like how we choose clothes. But if there are really good-looking clothes, canât you tell?â
She pointed at the girlâs shoes again. âI can tell from your shoes that youâve been practicing dancing for many years. Youâll definitely be fine. Donât change your performance at the last minute.â
The girl said in embarrassment, âI donât know if itâs possible, but Iâve indeed practiced dancing for many years. Iâve even participated in international competitions, although I didnât get a good ranking.â
âWeâre all young. Maybe you can win an award the next time you get into the Film Academy?â Wen Nian smiled sincerely.
The girl seemed to be encouraged and repeatedly thanked Wen Nian before hurrying to the examination room.
As Wen Nian turned around, Hao Ting had changed into a T-shirt and shorts, evidently no longer planning to showcase her talent with the previous Spanish dance.
As she passed by Wen Nian, Hao Ting gave her a disdainful look, then walked arrogantly to the examination room.
Wen Nian said silently behind her, âGood luck.â
When she arrived at the examination hall, she saw an examinee in a dance suit coming out with a dejected expression. Hao Ting even heard the teacher at the door say softly, âWhy is it another dance?â
Only then did Hao Ting heave a sigh of relief. Thinking that she had already prepared a joke that the company had told her boss in the past, she might be able to rely on her beauty and uniqueness to win the teacherâs favor and successfully enter the Film Academy.
When it was her turn, Hao Ting introduced herself confidently and told a bad joke that had gone viral on the Internet.
This was her specialty. Every time she told this joke at her agency, her manager, assistant, and other actors would laugh out loud.
However, after she finished her joke, the teachers below were completely dumbfounded.
Could this girl abe fool? Did she just tell the teachers at the prestigious Film Academy in the capital a joke that wasnât funny? Could this be some kind of unconventional interview method?
