Son of the Bone

Until the finale banquet was over, when Qi Lin got on the plane back to Shidu, he felt a sense of unreality.

During these eight months, he climbed down from the window of the fourteenth floor like an ape, or used a hanger to escape the siege of six or seven strong men, disguised himself in the church, and changed his approach. Seven or eight facial features, being provoked and humiliated at the Interpol meeting - and experienced Loan's entire life.

Now he is even familiar with bows, arrows and guns, and his temperament has become mature and sharp.

The day he returned to Shidu happened to be the beginning of school.

When I left, it was still midsummer in the school, and the trees were full of shade and summer cicadas were singing. Now it seems that time has been pushed forward a few months, and I have returned to the early spring when everything is waiting for recovery.

The crushed ice piled up on the side of the road has not completely melted, and faint greenness can be glimpsed in the withered and yellow lawn covered with frost.

Some students had already recognized him and hurriedly pulled out their phones to snap his silhouette.

Pushing the suitcase, Qi Lin quickly walked through the corridor, passed through various crowds, and went back to the dormitory upstairs to get on the elevator. He couldn't even catch his breath, and quickly unlocked the door of Room 404 with his thumb.

The sunshine of early spring flooded the room, and the aroma of freshly brewed black tea still exuded in the room.

Jiang Jue sat by the window with his book in his arms, and looked up at him.

Qi Lin walked so fast along the way that he was a little out of breath when he opened his mouth.

"I—I'm back."

The young man who had grown a little tall showed a gentle smile and also stared into his eyes.

"Welcome back."

It wasn't until the next day that Qi Lin met Lin Jiuguang in the acting classroom.

The latter has dyed a head of white hair, and his skin is even whiter and shiny, and he smiles like a fairy.

It is quite miraculous that this person can transform from various smart ghost roles in his childhood to the hero of an idol drama.

"He is..." Qi Lin turned to look at Jiang Jue.

"Yeah, Lin Jiuguang. We met at the charity dinner last time." The boy moved three spaces to the side, and said in a familiar tone, "I've reserved seats for you in advance."

Qi Lin noticed that Jiang Jue seemed to be quite familiar with him, so he sat down and said, "During Chinese New Year, I called Han Yi—I wanted to order another painting to put in the tea room."

Whether it is traditional Chinese painting or oil painting, Han Yi learns it as if he was born with it.

Meticulous peony splash-ink landscapes, or a random painting of water lilies and weeping willows with oil paintings, can be sold at quite high prices.

Someone once joked that if he really offended all the people in the entertainment industry, he would rely on the great painter Han to support him.

When Lin Jiuguang heard the name, his eyes lit up.

"To be reasonable, I have known him for almost ten years, and I have never discounted his paintings since I was a child." Qi Lin propped his chin and examined his face: "Is he also picky like this when he is with you?"

"Selling paintings is not selling pork." Lin Jiuguang puffed up his face and turned back: "You still expect to put a zero on the weight."

After the whole morning class was over, Qi Lin packed his bag and was about to take Jiang Jue to the North Canteen to eat soup dumplings, but Jiang Jue stopped him.

"Would you like to try... take Jiu Guang with you?"

The little white-haired devil blinked, expressing that he was free.

Qi Lin vaguely felt that Jiang Jue was implying something, but he couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, so he readily agreed.

As soon as he walked out of the classroom, he felt that something was wrong.

The feeling of being watched and surrounded, as well as the accompanying mobile phone camera, is like being degaussed, completely gone.

The three of them, a rising movie star, a TV drama star, and a popular idol, crossed half of the campus together one after the other, and they walked the entire distance as if they were invisible.

Standing beside Lin Jiuguang, Qi Lin felt as if all the shackles had been removed from his body—those who recognized Lin Jiuguang all spontaneously spread out to both sides, and would never approach him without provoking him.

After the meal, no one came to take a group photo, no one came to interrupt and say hello forcibly, all the seniors and seniors sat in other places very consciously, and there were very few eyes staring at them while they were eating.

Qi Lin even ordered another cone after eating, enjoying the process like a vacation.

It was such a pleasure.

Bai Ping finished this part in a hurry, the first round of auditions for the next film will have to wait until early June, and the actual filming will probably not start until around September.

Jiang Jue didn't plan to take part in other variety shows and TV dramas before joining the film crew. SPF accepted a star-studded movie for Qi Lin. It is said that it can be shot in one month, and the post-production can be completed and released before the summer vacation.

At the same time, as sophomores, they are allowed to participate in the ECH exam, which can be used to complete the credits in advance.

At the beginning, the theater was jointly founded by well-known old artists, and after becoming famous, generations of talents also bought shares one after another and participated in the reform of the teaching system and curriculum.

For the four courses of sound table and table, a solid theoretical and practical foundation is indispensable.

The first-year students are all forced to follow the regular courses, to a greater extent to grind their temper.

Regardless of whether it is cold or hot, getting up early every day to practice morning exercises, doing leg stretching day after day in body class, and repeated performance exercises without real objects in performance class are all grinding down the impetuous temper of these new students little by little. .

And in the sophomore year, more and more students began to accept advertisements and film contracts, although it was difficult to cope with their studies at the same time——

The ECH exam has become a crucial link.

It tests students' self-learning ability and mastery of core theoretical knowledge.

It's like if a person passes the CET-[-] test early, it's just a waste of time to go to college English basic courses.

Those who have passed the ECH exam in the sophomore year can be waived in terms of attendance and exams, and have more freedom.

Lin Jiuguang's eyes turned red when he first learned about such a setting, and he just waited honestly to become a sophomore.

If only I could skip a grade in college.

But Qi Lin and Jiang Jue had to work overtime to start reviewing.

Although they have acted in two films, they have to prepare for a long time for both theoretical and practical exams.

It is okay to memorize theoretical papers. After all, Jiang Jue is also an experienced person who has written more than [-] articles on various character analysis and scene analysis under Director Jiang.

Practical aspects... But it is indeed a headache.

For example, one of the ECH topics of the last sophomore year was crying.

The teachers directly invited a clown acrobatic troupe over and asked the students to stand among them and cry.

The clowns who came to perform all wore funny makeup and tried their best to make them laugh——

There are those who squeeze and pop balloons, and those who meow like cats and pigs, anyway, they just want to destroy your grief.

According to unreliable sources, these clowns were really quite dedicated at the time.

As long as you make a student laugh, you can get a large amount of money proportionally.

One by one, the students tried to enter the assessment room with a sullen face. When they came out, many of them were laughing and crying, as if the expression management did not exist.

Don't think about skipping class to shoot commercials if you don't have a lot of time.

In order to practice this, Qi Lin spent a lot of time trying to find the feeling.

He even went undercover to the 'Baipilinhei Station', and read all kinds of words that those people attacked him with real feelings. At the end of reading, he burst into tears, and he could cry for a long time because of his grievances.

Jiang Jue saw that he was almost done practicing, so he took a tablet and played cartoons next to him, making him cry to cat and mouse and SpongeBob SquarePants.

"Woooooo-"

"Send Daxing and let's catch jellyfish!!!"

Then someone broke in an instant.

Although the physical examination of ECH does not make students fly in the air like Cirque du Soleil, the examination requirements are quite strict.

Not only the body fat percentage and weight must pass the test, but also the waist circumference, hip circumference, flexibility and strength control of the body are also within the scope of the assessment.

The examiner was still Teacher Ping, and it was said that he cried several girls who just wanted to diet to lose weight.

And the lines class exam was a nightmare.

There are still traces of other exams, and the topics are changed every year, but what will be tested in the lines class depends entirely on the teacher's mood.

The chief examiner is Professor Yan Siyan, a doctoral supervisor. The old man is not only a founding and important figure in the entertainment industry, he has taught most people in the circle under his command, no matter how big the wrist is, he has to respectfully call Teacher Yan in front of him.

Professor Yan is 80 or [-] years old this year, and he refuses to go home to rest for the elderly. He is stationed in a front-line post and continues to educate a group of students. He is also quite dedicated.

All the lines for the test were selected by him himself, and it is common for only 5 minutes to be sent for a large section of English lines.

As for speaking lines while jumping frogs, or skipping rope while cooking and speaking lines, those are all within the scope of basic skills.

Every year when it’s time to take the ECH exam, almost half of the schools can see students doing morning exercises while skipping rope, which is more tiring than acrobats.

What the seniors are most afraid of is the impromptu topic given by the old man——

The opening sentence is all based on making up the rest. After making up, I don’t know what the other party will answer. After passing the exam, I don’t know whether to cry or laugh.

You can take the ECH exam every spring and autumn, and you can relax for a whole semester after passing it, just like a temporary promotion.

What I have to say is that the students studied hard for such a seemingly opportunistic exam.

Even if there is no film contract, with such a death-free gold medal, you don't have to go out for morning exercises every day, how happy you are.

Qi Lin got up early every morning and went to line up at the entrance of the library, gnawing down all those super difficult theoretical books.

Jiang Jue prefers to review alone in the dormitory, and he is constantly practicing various emotional guidance and body control.

Almost since they entered school, they have not had a life where they can eat and drink freely, and they have to constantly polish their bodies at every stage, in order to be able to grasp every opportunity.

Lin Jiuguang originally thought he had caught two new friends, but he didn't expect that they were all buried in their books, and he was so bored that he was playing origami airplanes in the dormitory.

As soon as the end of March came, [-]% of the theoretical exams were eliminated, and the remaining [-]% were notified that they could take the practical exam a week later.

During these seven days, every day was like waiting to go to the execution ground, making people uneasy even in their dreams.

When it was the day of the exam, the two of them didn't even dare to eat the night before, for fear of having stomach problems or gaining weight.

Jiang Jue's ranking is higher, maybe it's thanks to the little essay.

He nodded to Qi Lin at the back of the team, took a deep breath, turned and entered the examination room.
