Chapter 190: Special Examiner for the Art Examination
Sina Entertainment News

"Yesterday, the highly anticipated film Pietà directed by Li Chen was completed in Hong Kong."

"According to insiders, this drama has been kept strictly confidential since the beginning of filming."

“This will be Li Chen’s second film to be registered for the Venice Film Festival after Painted Skin.”

Sohu report
"Beijing Film Academy announced today the list of candidates who passed the preliminary art exam. 1300 candidates will take the re-examination and final exam."

“The final results will be announced on March 3.”

As soon as the news of "The Pietà" was announced online.

Li Chen received a call from Tian Zhuangzhuang.

Let this graduate student at least show up in school.

Li Chen felt a little embarrassed.

Since the start of school last year, he has been so busy that he has not been to school once.

Li Chen returned to Beijing and rushed to school without stopping.

Once I entered the campus, I was inevitably pointed at and talked about by students like I was a giant panda.

The students' gossip drifted into Li Chen's ears.

"It's Director Li Chen!"

“I heard that his Pietà is going to be registered for Venice again. I’m so envious!”

"What is he doing at school?"

"I don't know, but Director Li is a graduate student, so it's not strange for him to come to school, right?"

"Is it related to the art exam? I heard that only a small number of the final examiners of the art exam are teachers in the school."

“The others are celebrities from the cultural world.”

"Don't say that. It's possible that what you said is true. If that's the case, this year's candidates are very lucky."

"Director Li is famous for being ruthless and impartial. He doesn't care about personal feelings."

"You know nothing. If that's true, the school only cares about Director Li's reputation. Director Li will definitely not be the one who makes the final decision."

"I heard that there is a girl in this class who is not even 16 years old, so she is only slightly older than Liu Yifei back then!"

Li Chen arrived at Tian Zhuangzhuang's office.

I found that Liu Yifei’s class teacher Wang Jinsong was also there.

Looking at this situation, Li Chen probably guessed what the two were going to say.

As expected, the school wanted him to serve as the re-examination examiner for the art exam.

In recent years, the re-examination and final examination have been conducted together.

Ten years later, the re-examination and the final examination were separate.

"Since you two have spoken, how can I refuse?"

Li Chen looked at the thick stack of re-examination names in front of him.

It’s probably about 20 to 30 pages.

Seeing that things were going so smoothly, Wang Jinsong smiled, said hello and left.

Without outsiders around, Tian Zhuangzhuang spoke without any reservations.

"I heard that your Pietà will go to Venice?"

Li Chen nodded: "Yes, I have contacted Makol."

"Well, that's fine. Those people from Jinji did go too far."

Li Chen smiled and didn't respond.

After chatting with Tian Zhuangzhuang for a few words, Li Chen left.

After walking a few steps out of the teaching building, a figure flashed behind me.

"Senior!"

"How did you come?"

"I should be the one asking you this."

Li Chen smiled and said, "Teacher Tian called me and asked me to come over."

Yang Mi was in a good mood.

Just now she was in the dormitory when her roommate Zhang Xiaofei ran in in a panic and said that Director Li had come to the school and went to the teaching building.

Yang Mi became interested as soon as she heard it.

He dressed hurriedly and left the dormitory.

Walking on the campus, the students looked at Yang Mi next to Li Chen with envy in their eyes.

Yang Mi said with a smile: "Senior, it's you. No one else would be so popular."

Li Chen sneered: "Stop flattering me, and get to the point. The promotion of Painted Skin is about to begin."

"Take advantage of this time to study hard at school and make progress every day."

Yang Mi stuck out her tongue.

Then he licked his face and said, "Some girls in my dormitory want to treat you to a meal. See if you have time."

"Forget it. You can treat them to a meal on my behalf and then the company will reimburse them."

Yang Mi also guessed this result, so she was not disappointed.

Continuing to gossip, "Senior, are you coming to school for the art exam?"

"Are you the special examiner that the school is rumored to have?"

Li Chen said with a smile: "Why are you asking about this? What? Do you have a relative who is going to take an art exam?"

Yang Mi laughed: "How can I have any relatives? Among these candidates, I only know Jing Tian."

"Ok?"

"Jing Tian passed the preliminary exam, didn't you know that, senior?"

Li Chen shook the file bag in his hand: "Twenty or thirty pages, how can I have the time to read it carefully?"

Yang Mi thought about it and agreed.

On the day the school announced the list, many parents brought their children and craned their necks to look for their children's names.

Li Chen took a day off.

I went to the martial arts school to visit Miss Liu again.

The casting results for "The Forbidden Kingdom" should be announced soon.

Li Qiaoqiao has also started training.

There was a fan war between the two before.

With Li Qiaoqiao's deliberate maintenance, it did not affect the ordinary friendship between the two.

Looking at the two people in training clothes walking towards him with sweat on their foreheads.

Li Chen handed two bottles of water to the two of them.

Li Chen hasn't spoken yet.

Li Qiaoqiao opened the topic first: "Director Li, Yifei has trained very hard and has a solid foundation in fighting scenes. I am ashamed of myself."

Liu Yifei was indifferent to Li Qiaoqiao's praise and leaned close to Li Chen.

"You are too modest. She is far inferior to you in acting skills. She still has a lot to learn from you."

Li Qiaoqiao smoothed her sweaty hair and said with a smile, "Director Li, don't say that. Yifei and I are making progress together, right, Yifei?"

Liu Yifei curved her eyebrows and said in a long voice: "Director Li is right. Everyone knows that Director Li is a well-known honest man!"

"Even my girlfriend can't give me compliments!"

Li Qiaoqiao covered her mouth and chuckled.

Li Chen quickly tried to make amends for himself: "Who said I don't know how to give compliments?"

"Yesterday at school, Yang Mi said that there are so many beautiful girls in the art exam, and I, as an examiner, must not be overwhelmed by the choices."

"I said I've been looking at Liu Yifei's face all day and I've become face-blind."

"Everyone looks like Liu Yifei!"

Liu Yifei blushed and hit Li Chen lightly.

Li Qiaoqiao and Li Chen both laughed.

The final art exam has begun, and Li Chen is really face-blind.

From his perspective.

The most beautiful one is Jingtian.

But there is still a gap compared to the immature Liu Yifei back then.

There was another girl who, if Li Chen hadn't looked at the list, he really couldn't recognize her as Zheng Shuang, who looked very ordinary.

Maybe he really has seen Miss Liu too much and his standards are too high.

Among these hundreds of girls.

The most famous one is definitely Jingtian.

But the youngest one is Zhengshuang.

The most famous and fastest-growing celebrity in the future was this girl who was under 16 years old.

The final exam will feature live performances and talent shows.

They are not in the same group.

The topic for Zhengshuang's group was a group scene of people squeezing into a bus, and each candidate was free to express themselves.

The topic of Jingtian's group is a group portrait drama of a state-owned factory.

It’s a refreshing alternative.

It won unanimous praise from all examiners except Li Chen.

Compared with Zhengshuang, Jingtian's performance was far from satisfactory.

On the stage, Jingtian seemed to be completely out of form.

Others are expressing themselves without real scenes or characters.

Only Jingtian was like a headless fly, looking for someone else to act with.

But I found that everyone was already into the play.

Li Chen was sitting in the audience and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.

Jingtian looked around awkwardly.

Seeing Li Chen's expression in the audience, his face turned red instantly.

She didn't even know how she got off the stage.

Jingtian's performance.

Li Chen was too embarrassed to give a high score.

I got a passing score of 6.

Li Chen casually glanced at the examiners' scores on both sides.

I found that the examiner on the left actually gave 7.5 points.

The other person on the right gave it higher: 8 points!
Li Chen suddenly realized that it seemed that Lu Zheng should have arranged everything long ago.

There are human relationships everywhere, and school is no exception.

Jingtian is just here for formalities.

The little girl is really well protected.

When Li Chen left, all the candidates taking the art exam looked at him with burning eyes as if they were saluting him.

I want to come up and chat with her, but I don’t have the courage.

Jingtian doesn't have this concern.

Seeing Li Chen leaving the auditorium, he trotted out and hurriedly chased after him.

He followed Li Chen anxiously all the way.

It was not until Li Chen separated from several examiners that Jing Tian hurriedly caught up.

"Brother Li"

Li Chen frowned slightly, Brother Li?

I turned around and saw it was Jingtian.

Li Chen chuckled and said, "Tiantian, I am flattered that you call me Brother Li."

"If you don't know, you might think it's Li Xunhuan, the flying dagger of Li!"

Jing Tian's fair face flushed slightly: "Mi Mi calls you senior, I think calling you Brother Li is more intimate and respectful."

"Whatever you want, what do you want from me?"

Jingtian felt relieved when she saw that Li Chen had no objection to her calling him that.

"Brother Li, did I fail the test today?"

Li Chen smiled and thought that even if you don't come to take the exam, Lu Zheng will find a way to get you in.

"Don't think too much about it. It's nothing. It's a normal way to be nervous in a group drama. Don't you think so?"

Jingtian's face turned even redder.

Li Chen encouraged her tactfully.

"Prepare for professional courses well, professional courses are the key."

Jing Tian pursed his lips: "I understand, Brother Li."

She is a family member and knows her own business.

Professional courses are her biggest headache.

I heard that the youngest girl is a top student?
Then she should be considered a poor student.
After leaving school, Li Chen went to visit Zhou Xun's class again.

"Li Mi's Conjecture" is about to be completed. Except for Deng Chao, the rest of the cast remains the same.

The next day, Ning Hao and his wife learned that Li Chen had returned to school, and they hurriedly called to invite him over.

When we arrived at Bad Monkey, we saw that the storefront had just been renovated.

It seems that Ning Hao is doing well recently.
