Famous and renowned

  The time soon arrived at the day when Kyoto Film Academy announced its results, and the entrance of the academy was crowded with all the students who had passed the first test, bustling with excitement.

  Ye Su Mang was among them, his handsome appearance and tall stature making him one of the focal points that caught everyone's attention.

  Voices discussing him kept coming from around his ears, and even some paparazzi were holding cameras to take pictures of him constantly, while asking if he was a candidate for the performance department.

  She casually responded with a few words, then shook off the entangling reporters and walked to a place where there were fewer people, took out her mobile phone and called Huang Bo.

  "Hey, Yezi, where are you? I'm at the school gate. The list is about to be posted. Haven't you arrived yet?" The phone was answered quickly, but Huang Bo's side sounded very noisy.

  "I'm also at the school gate." Upon hearing Huang Bo's words, Ye Sumang immediately looked up to find Huang Bo's figure, but there were too many people gathered at the college gate, and even with Ye Sumang's height advantage, she couldn't find him for a while.

  "Don't come over, there are too many people, I'll help you take a look inside for a while! You're outside..." Before he could finish speaking, Ye Sumang heard Huang Bo's anxious shout on the phone: "Ah, it's out, it's out! Tell the other guys not to squeeze..."

  It was unexpected for Ye Sumang that Huang Bo could come, after all, the two had only known each other for half a day, and Huang Bo could be said to have already been destined to fail.

  But he came, apparently to boost his own morale. Moreover, he was able to rush all the way inside, which meant he must have arrived very early. This friendship also made Ye Sumang feel a warmth in her heart.

  The college started posting notices, and the crowd was like a flock of sparrows encountering scattered grains of rice, rushing over in an instant.

  The first to be posted is the performance department list, which is the largest department of the Film Academy and also the most applied for in the on-site examination. Roughly calculated, more than 5,000 people participate in the performance department art examination every year, and at least half of those who enter the re-examination are also applying for this major.

  Among these more than 5,000 people, only one class of less than 30 undergraduates will be recruited in the end.

  However, as long as they are from this undergraduate class, they basically don't have to worry about not getting roles in the future, with a success rate of over 50%. Therefore, even though the hope is slim every year, there are still countless young men and women who step onto this narrow bridge to compete for those scarce spots.

  Soon, the crowd burst into a loud laughter, apparently someone had topped the list, and this laughter seemed like a signal, immediately followed by loud curses and wails of crying, hundreds of students performed various emotions in just a few minutes.

  Those who cry and scold loudly, Ye Sumang feels somewhat disdainful. If you can't get in, just pretend to be a misunderstood genius, as if the teachers at the academy are all blind and can't see your shining points, this is simply ridiculous.

  You should know that the teachers who accompany students are not all with decades of teaching experience. Not to mention being extremely discerning, but at least they can see your talent. If they don't want you, it's naturally because you have great shortcomings and can't meet the admission standards or there is a huge gap between you and other excellent students. And yet, you can't even see your own shortcomings, and instead of that, you loudly scold them; it would be better to go home and continue practicing, striving to take the exam again next year.

  Ye Su Mang himself didn't sign up for the performance department, so he naturally wasn't interested in this list. He only cared about the director's department results.

  It's worth noting that the director's department is one of the most difficult to get into among several major departments, and it's not even available every year. Sometimes it stops recruiting for a year, and each time there are only about ten places available.

  If you can get into the directing department, it means your future is bright. Compared to the 50% success rate of the acting department, the directing department has a success rate of over 90%!

  Since ancient times, students who graduated from the Kyoto Film Academy's directing department have never failed to make a living. The excellent ones have become leaders of certain generations of directors in the industry, and at worst, they can mix with art directors in some large advertising companies.

  Because he was confident, Ye Sumang was leisurely observing the crowd when a loud and excited laugh interrupted his thoughts. He turned around to see Huang Bo enthusiastically waving at him and shouting: "Yezi, you made it onto the list! The director's department has passed you for re-examination!!!"

  "What?!" The crowd suddenly burst into a commotion, and many people who heard Huang Bo's words involuntarily focused their attention on Ye Sumang. Even some people who were still immersed in the disappointment of not being admitted looked at him with an incredulous expression.

  "My god, I thought he was an acting major candidate all along, but it turns out he's actually applying for that weird directing major!"

  "What a handsome and talented person!" Someone had already gazed at Ye Sumang with starry eyes.

  "Heavens, I'm done for..." This is the resentful lament of a certain disappointed examinee.

  The crowd also caught the attention of two girls who had just posted the director's list.

  Both of them looked like students, with similar heights, but one had short hair and a sunny smile, while the other had long hair and a delicate face like a porcelain doll.

  "Xuan Jie, that really handsome boy is on this list?" The short-haired girl also seemed to find it unbelievable, after all, looking at Ye Su Mang's appearance, she should have gone to take the performance major.

  "Didn't you hear that uncle just now call him Yezi? Nuo, look, there's only one person with the surname Ye on the list, he must be this Ye Sumang." The long-haired girl was also somewhat surprised, and her gaze involuntarily followed the crowd, glancing at that tall and straight figure.

  "Wow, that's amazing! This is the director's class, if we can pass the three trials, our college will have another legendary figure." The short-haired girl said with a sigh as she reluctantly withdrew her gaze.

  "What's gotten into Little Sister? Do you want me, her sister, to go get his phone number for you?" The long-haired girl couldn't help but tease the short-haired girl as she caught her sneaking glances at Ye Sumang in the crowd.

  But the short-haired girl who was being teased didn't show any embarrassment at all, instead she smiled brightly and turned around to lecture the long-haired girl with a mature look.

  "Hmph~ Not that I'm being nosy, Xuan Jie, but you're not always like a matchmaker, no matter how I look at it, it seems like you're the one with a crush."

  "Oh, you're talking about your senior like that!!!"

  At this time, Ye Sumang still didn't know that he had already been noticed by two senior sisters before entering the academy. At this moment, he was facing the fiery gaze of many people, with both admiration and jealousy, but Ye Sumang seemed very calm and unaffected. As a person, he was neither excessively humble nor arrogant due to the admiring and jealous glances from others, because he was just himself and didn't need to prove anything to anyone else.

  Watching Huang Bo bring good news running towards him, Ye Su Mang lightly curled up the corners of his mouth and happily hugged him.

  "Awesome, bro!" Huang Bo gave Ye Sumang a thumbs up, having seen everyone's reaction earlier. Ye Sumang's aura made him feel proud too, and his chest puffed out three inches.

  But before Huang Bo could say anything more, Ye Sumang pulled him away, because the reporters with a bloodthirsty smell were quickly closing in from not far away, and if they didn't leave soon, they would have to hold a small press conference right there.

  Essentially, Ye Sumang is also a person who dislikes trouble very much.

  The two of them ran across the sky bridge and didn't stop until they reached the other side of the street, where they found a small restaurant to solve their lunch problem. According to Huang Bo's words, they were originally going to drink two cups to celebrate that their brother passed the re-examination, but because Ye Sumang still had three exams in the afternoon, the two of them didn't order wine either, and just ordered a few more dishes, chatting happily while eating.

  Just as Huang Bo was talking about the excitement of watching the rankings, Ye Su's phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. He took it out and opened it to find that it was a call from his grandfather.
