Chapter 543: Dramatic Performance Exams That Are Not Outstanding (1/3 Monthly Ticket)
The road was jammed for a while, but Ouyang Xiaoqing arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the main teaching building before seven o'clock, registered and received her exam number with her ID card and admission ticket.
The waiting time was very long, because according to the arrangement, after arriving at the 502 test preparation classroom in the main building of the major, the invigilator also randomly selected them according to their test numbers, and divided them into groups of ten. They sat down separately, and then waited for the official start to take turns to go to the examination room.
Go and take the exam.
Ouyang Xiaoqing was relatively lucky. She was not placed in the first group, but she did not fall into the last group either. The third group was in a higher position, which should be the stage when the invigilator was more focused.
The exam officially started at 8:30, and Ouyang Xiaoqing didn't know how long she sat there waiting. Anyway, she watched groups of classmates being called out and never came back, and the pressure in her heart was slowly building up.
Fortunately, there is a classmate in their group who suffers from social anxiety disorder.
"Hello, are you No. 08? I am No. 09! Our numbers are so close. The key is that we were drawn into the same group!"
The girl started chatting with Ouyang Xiaoqing in a familiar manner.
Of course, they are all girls. In the morning, all female candidates took the exam, and in the afternoon, it was the turn of male candidates to take the exam.
"Yeah, it's quite a coincidence."
Ouyang Xiaoqing nodded politely to the other party.
"My name is Cheng Ruixue, and I'm from Shandong Province. What about you? Your accent doesn't sound like you're from the north, right?"
The girl stretched out her hand.
"Yes, I am from Guangdong Province, Ouyang Xiaoqing. Nice to meet you."
Ouyang Xiaoqing hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand to shake hands with the other party.
"Are you from Guangdong Province? Then your accent is more standard. The school where I trained before has some friends from Guangdong Province. Their speech will be strange, like watching a Hong Kong movie!"
Cheng Ruixue smiled.
"Some of them may not be standard, but I'm fine."
Ouyang Xiaoqing learned Mandarin pronunciation from her father, and often watched the news network, so naturally she didn't have a too obvious Cantonese-Putong accent.
"By the way, where do you live? Is it over there at the Youth Holiday Hotel, or at the Guotu Hotel? Or at the Beijing Institute of Technology? I'm staying at the Youth Holiday Hotel, and it seems like a lot of people are staying there."
Cheng Ruixue continued to chat with Ouyang Xiaoqing.
However, not everyone can chat and laugh like them in the waiting room. The other team members sit upright, expressionless all the time, but their hands are so nervous that they are sweating.
Ouyang Xiaoqing was originally like them, but after chatting with Cheng Ruixue for a few words, she gradually relaxed and her mentality became much better.
The two of them chatted until the invigilator informed the whole group to take part in the duplex examination.
"Come on! I hope we can all get ashore!"
Cheng Ruixue shook her fist lively.
"Yeah, let's work together!"
Ouyang Xiaoqing also clenched her fists.
...
When I entered the examination room, I didn't dare to talk nonsense, because there was a row of invigilators sitting there, and the strong pressure still kept the ten female candidates in silence.
After the examiner in front introduced the exam process, we immediately entered the first exam.
First, the drama performance exam! (Note 1)
This is an impromptu proposition. Candidates come up for the test one after another, but the propositions given by the teacher are all different.
For example, when it was Cheng Ruixue's turn, the examiner gave her a plastic bag and asked her to use it as a prop for her performance.
When it came to Ouyang Xiaoqing, the examiner gave her a chair, and she also organized the language and conceived the performance content herself.
Don't think that a chair is just for acting. In fact, the effect is the same. This test tests the candidates' language organization ability, instant plot conception ability, and improvisational performance ability.
Of course, these candidates have basically attended training classes, and have learned some golden rules and universal routines summarized by some training teachers.
Ouyang Xiaoqing is not immune to conventions, although the proposition of her chair is easier to fall into...
Among the entire group of candidates, there was not one that the examiners felt was very outstanding or very spiritual. The score they gave Ouyang Xiaoqing was also at the mid-range level, which was not enough to enter the final examination!
Fortunately, Ouyang Xiaoqing doesn't know her results now, so she still returns to the big team and waits for the next exam to start.
"The vocal test will be held next. Candidates please note that the singing time of the two songs must be controlled within 5 minutes..."
The examiner simply repeated the requirements of the exam.
In fact, time control is not difficult, because the accompaniment is provided by myself. The accompaniment of the two songs is cut together and kept to a length of about 5 minutes.
The same ten candidates took the exam one after another, while the others sat back and watched.
Because Ouyang Xiaoqing ranks relatively low in the group, she can sit back and watch other people's performances with a little peace of mind.
These students still have some vocal skills, and they are not the kind of people who just come up and sing with a big white voice.
But the singing is relatively average, at least to Ouyang Xiaoqing's picky ears.
"Hello teachers, the Chinese track I sing is "So Many People in the World", which comes from Dai Yuni's new album "Love·I" released last year. The songwriter is Yang Qian, and the English track is an excerpt from the musical XXX.
....."
Most people chose excerpts from English musicals, but what Ouyang Xiaoqing didn't expect was that for the Chinese song section, two classmates actually chose songs written by her brother Yang Qian, including her new friend Cheng Ruixue.
Some people chose to sing "So Many People in the World", while Cheng Ruixue chose "Slowly Falling in Love with You".
Cheng Ruixue's singing cannot be said to be very good. Ouyang Xiaoqing feels that the traces of imitation are more obvious, and there is nothing particularly outstanding. It is not as good as Sister Dai's singing.
Of course, when it was not her turn to give advice and look down on others, what Ouyang Xiaoqing thought about most was whether she should mention brother Yang Qian's name!
Mentioning Yang Qian's brother's name seems a bit deliberate, and I am related to him, so I don't know if there will be any trouble.
But if I don’t mention it, others have mentioned it openly. Do I want to give brother Yang Qian anonymity?
I don’t know how long it took in the entanglement, but the teacher in charge of order in the examination room came over to take away Ouyang Xiaoqing’s USB flash drive. Next, it was Ouyang Xiaoqing’s turn to take the exam.
Ouyang Xiaoqing took a deep breath. After her exam number was called, she stood up and stepped forward, bowed politely, and then said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone:
"Hello, invigilators, I am candidate No. 8. The two pieces I am going to perform today are excerpts from Chapter 2 and Section 4 of the Chinese musical "The Legend of White Snake"; English songs..."
(Note 1: Normally, the drama performance test is placed at the last item of the re-examination, but the plot here requires Xiaohan to simply fine-tune it.)
