The mentors' surprise

  The first question examined the examinee's understanding of the script as a director. After all the instructors finished scoring, they began the second question, which tested their reading comprehension of audio-visual passages.

  Then a teacher walked up to the projector and fiddled with it for a bit, and a video appeared before all the examinees.

  The video is only 5 minutes long, and it's a classic scene from the famous movie "Run Lola Run". The question requires each candidate to analyze the composition of the film's images, the characters' personalities, and even the highlights and origins of the background music.

  At this moment all the candidates took out their notes and looked at the movie seriously, only Ye Sumang had empty hands, naturally as if sitting in a cinema.

  Everyone noticed Ye Sumang's state, and Chen Dianfei was no exception. At the same time, he secretly scolded him in his heart for "showing off", hoping that Ye Sumang would fail the exam later on.

  The movie was played three times before the instructor finally turned off the projector. The candidates in the room immediately raised their hands, rushing to be the first to answer. After all, the earlier one answers questions related to memory, the more advantageous it is.

  Chen Dianfei was very lucky, this time it was the fat instructor who took the lead in asking questions, and the first one pointed to his head. According to his notes, Chen Dianfei said out loud the dozen or so shots he remembered, as well as a few background music that he had limited understanding of, trying to get good scores for himself.

  The examinees who followed him also answered one by one, and for some reason, the fat instructor seemed to be intentionally targeting Ye Sumang. He, who had performed well in the previous round, was actually ranked last.

  It was finally Ye Sumang's turn, but by this time more than half an hour had passed since the video started playing, and he hadn't taken any notes earlier. All the candidates looked at him with a mixture of schadenfreude and curiosity, with Fat Director and Chen Dianfei being the most obvious.

  Xie Fei and the female instructor also couldn't help but reveal a hint of worry in their eyes, secretly blaming Ye Su Meng for being too arrogant earlier.

  However, Ye Sumang was very calm at this moment. He didn't take out his notebook to take notes because he had a photographic memory and it would be a waste of time to take notes instead of watching the film seriously. The fragment that had been played three times just now had already been imprinted in his mind, and as soon as he thought about it, all the details appeared in his mind.

  Those who try to play tricks on him will probably end up disappointed.

  "The film opens with a caption emphasizing that it's a game and an exploratory movie..."

  Among the important props, clocks and watches are symbols of time, which not only show the ruthlessness of years but also reflect a visual stimulus, pursuing a "lively" and "fun" "game" mentality.

  The opening mentions the crossroads three times, mainly because the crossroads symbolize choice and are one of the main essences that this film wants to convey.

  The music in the film has eleven different variations throughout, all of which are fast-paced, in order to render the atmosphere and increase the rhythm of the film.

  Ye Su Meng spoke slowly, but his tone was steady and practiced, without a single pause. From the beginning to the end of the five-minute plot, he actually elaborated on everything the film wanted to express in its entirety. Whether it was the overall structure or the use of background music, even the characteristics of the characters and the special meaning given to them by the film were not missed at all.

  The five instructors opposite and all the candidates present were already stunned, especially the fat one, whose forehead was covered with cold sweat, looking at him with a gaze as if staring at a monster.

  "Great, great! It's really awesome!" Ye Su spoke non-stop for over ten minutes before finally ending the shocking answer. Xie Fei had already taken off his glasses in excitement and immediately gave a loud and enthusiastic praise.

  "How did you remember so many details from the movie?" The female instructor was also very excited, it was her first time discovering such a talented seedling, out of curiosity, she couldn't help but ask Ye Su Mang.

  "Maybe I'm just a bit more ordinary than others." Ye Sumang replied with a hint of humility, yet exuding an aura of self-confidence that emanated from within.

  But his seemingly humble answer was actually an unintentional blow to all the candidates present, and Chen Dianfei's face turned so dark that he couldn't bear it, shrinking into a corner, clearly having suffered a great shock.

  Ye Sumang's answer ended, also marking the end of their round of exams. As Ye Sumang walked out of the classroom, the female instructor personally escorted him to the door, repeatedly expressing her admiration for him, causing the other examinees in the corridor to turn and stare.

  This round of exams lasted for more than an hour, and when Ye Sumang walked out of the teaching building, Huang Bo had already been waiting at the door, looking bored, constantly sipping the mineral water in his hand.

  "Yeh, how did you do on the exam?" Seeing Ye Su Mang come out, Huang Bo stopped drinking water and hurriedly ran up to ask.

  "No problem!" The exam finally ended, and Ye Sumeng also let out a sigh of relief. Seeing Huang Bo waiting for him, he immediately patted his chest, indicating that he did very well on the exam.

  "I knew you'd make it!" Huang Bo patted Ye Sumang's shoulder excitedly and said.

  "What are you going to do next?" Thinking that the exam was over, Ye Sumang couldn't help but ask Huang Bo about his plans for the next few days.

  "Hehe, I've already signed up for that voice acting class you mentioned. The exam is tomorrow and there's only one round. If I pass, I can get in. As for what happens after the exam, I haven't thought about it yet. After all, I'm also free for now."

  "How about you come over and help me act in a movie?" As soon as Ye Sumang heard that Huang Bo was idle, she immediately extended an invitation to him.

  When writing the script, Ye Sumang felt that the role of 'Zhu Liao' was tailor-made for Huang Bo. However, at the time, he didn't know if the script would be filmed, so he didn't extend an invitation. If his grandfather hadn't called today to say there was a play, Ye Sumang might not have mentioned it either, after all, he was the kind of person who kept his promises.

  "Movie, brother you're not kidding!?" This was a big bomb for Huang Bo, and he suddenly felt dizzy.

  "At noon, didn't I receive a phone call?" Seeing Huang Bo nodding foolishly, Ye Sumang found it somewhat amusing, but still explained: "That phone call was from my grandfather, who works at the Kyoto Film Studio. I had written a script and asked him to take it to the studio to see if they could film it. The noon phone call was to tell me that the script is promising and they plan to make it into a movie soon."

  "Really?" Huang Bo asked excitedly: "What's the script about? What am I playing?"

  "Let's go to the teahouse and I'll tell you in detail."

  "Ye Sumang, stop right there!" Just as the two of them were about to head towards the teahouse, a furious roar suddenly focused everyone's attention on Ye Sumang.

  Turning back to look, it was actually a candidate from the same scene earlier. Ye Sumeng looked carefully for half a day and felt somewhat familiar, but couldn't think of any intersection between them.

  "What's wrong, haven't seen each other for a few years and you don't recognize me? Do you still remember the name Chen Dianfei?"

  The young man opposite him said that Ye Sumang finally remembered, nodded his head in a daze, indicating that he knew what was going on, and then turned to leave with Huang Bo, he didn't have time for nostalgia now.

  "Don't go, are you guilty or something?!" Chen Dianfei grasped Ye Sumang's arm tightly and said angrily: "Do you know the questions for the exam or not? Otherwise, how could you possibly answer the last question so accurately, it's impossible for anyone to memorize that many details!"

  Ye Sumang's expression remained unchanged, but as he looked at the arm that had been grabbed, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. This hint of dissatisfaction made Chen Dianfei feel uneasy and unconsciously release Ye Sumang's arm.

  "What's wrong with you! Who are you!" But at this time, Huang Bo, who was on the side, couldn't bear it anymore and pushed Chen Dianfei's chest forward, pushing him to the ground.

  Seeing the crowd gathering around, Ye Sumang slowly walked up to Chen Dianfei and pulled him up under his stunned expression.

  "What you can't do, others may not be unable to do." Ye Sumeng's face was calm and her tone was slow, as if she was saying something very natural, but it made Chen Dianfei blush instantly.

  Ye Sumang only left this short sentence, and then he left with Huang Bo. He didn't even look at Chen Dianfei again, because he simply didn't put Chen Dianfei in his heart, just thinking that he was jealous of not getting candy like a child.

  At this moment, many candidates have already surrounded the area, looking at Chen Dianfei standing still with a face full of embarrassment and shame, the mocking voices quickly spread throughout the campus like influenza.

  Arriving at the teahouse, the two of them had already forgotten Chen Dianfei's earlier clownish behavior.

  Ye Sumang ordered a pot of tea and began to carefully explain the story "Night Shop" to Huang Bo, also analyzing the characteristics of the character Zhu Liao. After finishing everything, Ye Sumang felt a bit parched and hastily poured himself a cup of tea, drinking while waiting for Huang Bo's response.

  "I think this movie is pretty good and funny, but I've never acted in a comedy before, so I don't know if I can do it?" Huang Bo was feeling anxious at that moment, wanting to film the movie but also afraid of ruining Ye Su Mang's play as an outsider.

  "What's to be afraid of, not having acted before doesn't mean you can't act. I think with this face of yours, you're naturally cut out for comedy." Ye Sumang pointed at Huang Bo's face, speaking seriously, but the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

  "What's wrong with my face? I'm Qingdao Xiaobo, very handsome and cool, okay?" Huang Bo was ridiculed by Ye Sumang and felt very depressed.

  "En, this joke is very funny, we can move on to the next topic." Hearing Huang Bo's boastful words, Ye Su Mang nodded seriously, but the next sentence made Huang Bo continue to go crazy inside.

  From then on, he never again engaged in verbal sparring with Ye Sumang. He seemed to have understood that when it came to quick wit, Ye Sumang had pulled him for several streets.

  As they chatted and laughed, Huang Bo gradually put down his worries. Anyway, as long as the crew dared to invite him, he would dare to act. Those who shoot films are not afraid, what's there to be afraid of for those who act?

  That night, Ye Sumang returned home and found his grandfather cooking in the kitchen. There were already four dishes on the table. The clever him immediately understood that the movie thing was probably done, and he was suddenly happy.

  "Welcome back, go wash your hands quickly. Today, your grandfather is cooking personally to celebrate that your script has been adopted." Seeing the silly smile on his grandson's face, Grandfather put down the fish soup in his hand and said with a smile.

  "Yes, sir!" He made a sloppy military salute, and under his grandfather's teasing laughter, Ye Sumang quickly finished washing up and sat down at the dinner table.

  Four dishes, two meat and two vegetarian, plus the delicious crucian carp soup, these are all Ye Sumang's favorite foods, just smelling them makes him feel like eating. During dinner, Grandpa also talked about what happened after he handed in the script.

  "It just so happens that the factory has another director who has secured an investment, and after you handed in your script, it was coincidentally approved by a deputy factory head. This deputy factory head then recommended your script to the director, who verbally agreed to take it on. Now they're just waiting for you, the big screenwriter, to have some free time to go to the film studio for a final discussion before organizing the crew and starting production."

  "What's the big deal about being a screenwriter." Under her grandfather's teasing, Ye Sumang first humbled herself and then happily said: "Grandfather, I haven't told you another good news yet. This time I took the directing major, it's almost certain that I'll get in."

  "I knew it all along, Xiaofei called this afternoon, you were the first to be set, the champion of the directing department, haha." Old Master Ye was obviously very happy, and he even made a few jokes with his grandson, which is not surprising, as the good news had put him in an exceptionally good mood.

  Just as the grandfather and grandson were enjoying their food and happiness, a sudden phone call rang out. Ye Xian looked at the phone number and his face lit up with joy, but after answering it, he didn't know what the other person said, and his originally happy face suddenly turned gloomy, and by the end of the conversation, he was completely furious, only saying "uh-huh" twice before hanging up the phone.

  "What's wrong, Grandpa?" Ye Sumang put down his chopsticks and asked with concern, looking at his grandfather's gloomy face.

  The plot has officially gotten on the right track, please collect and recommend, now there are exactly 50 collections, originally it was 51, I don't know how one disappeared, it makes me feel a chill in my heart. The promised extra update for today is done, I'll continue to write, please give me some motivation, whether it's collecting or recommending, even just leaving a message of encouragement in the book review section would be fine, during this new book period, I'm like a woman going through menopause, sensitive, anxious, depressed, irritable, all sorts of negative emotions are haunting me, seeking comfort.
