Chapter 173 Exam

ps. Thanks to the book friend Deng Shen for the book coins, thank you!

A person has to go through countless exams in his life. From the time he enters kindergarten, various exams begin to fill students' learning life.

Yesterday on the show, she just got over the habit of being a teacher, but today it was her turn to be a candidate.

Shangyi University is the university with the most complete art majors in the country. Perhaps its music is not as good as the Central Conservatory of Music and its performance is not as good as Beijing Film Academy, but its variety of art majors is definitely second to none in the country.

There are many majors, which means there are also many students. Among art universities with extremely small enrollments, Shangyi definitely has the largest number of students.

But it sounds like a lot, but in fact it is still very few compared with ordinary universities. For example, in the performance department, thousands of students apply for the exam every year, and only twenty or thirty are admitted in the end.

Generally speaking, only one class of a major is held per year, and all students enrolling at the same time are classmates.

There's nothing you can do about it. After all, not everyone can do art. The admissions principle of any art university is basically to err on the side of shortage.

The major Luo Quan is going to major in is the vocal music department. There are about six to seven hundred people applying for it this year. It is one of the rare majors where you can become a star without paying much attention to appearance.

Of course, you can't be too eye-catching. After all, the impression score is also very important. Among candidates with the same ability, the examiner will definitely prefer the one with better looks.

The location of the vocal music examination is quite unique. It is in a specially designed room, which can make the singing more three-dimensional, and the materials in the room can also absorb noise, minimizing the impact of external factors on your performance.

Hundreds of candidates walked into the examination room under the leadership of a senior. It was a large room like an opera house. Ten examiners sat in front of the table on the stage, while the candidates sat in the seats below. One of them was called. , go up one.

This scene reminded Luo Quan of when she was a tutor yesterday. Those students must have been as nervous as she is now, right?

In fact, she was pretty good, but she seemed a little anxious because of the atmosphere around her. After all, her strength was there.

As for the other students, the word "frustration" was barely written on their faces. Some of those with poor psychological quality kept shaking their hands and couldn't hold them down even if they were placed under their buttocks.

After all the candidates were seated, the examiner began to read out the rules of the examination room.

These ten examiners can be considered the cream of the Shangyi Conservatory of Music. They range from the dean and deputy dean of the conservatory of music, to the dean and deputy director of the vocal music department, to popular singing professors, bel canto professors, and ethnic singing professors.

The examiner is Zheng Guohua, the dean of the Conservatory of Music. He has a Chinese character face, a rich body shape, and speaks like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening. He is full of energy. He is probably a master of singing tenor.

"After entering the examination room, candidates must remain quiet so as not to affect the performance of other students. In addition, they must turn off the ringtone of their mobile phones and wait until they get on stage to listen to the teacher's instructions and start the examination."

Although Dean Zheng has a loud voice, his tone is still quite kind, and his expression is cheerful, just like Maitreya Buddha.

The female examiners sitting next to her all looked fierce and impatient, so they were probably not easy to deal with.

The candidates saw it in their eyes and knew it in their minds.

After the notes on the exam are finished, the exam officially begins.

In order, the examiner began to call the candidates' names: "No. 1, Li Wen."

A boy immediately stood up and trotted up, facing the instructor and the candidates in the audience, and bowed.

"Hello, teacher, my name is Li Wen. I come from Helan. I am eighteen years old. This year I am applying for the folk music major in the Vocal Music Department."

He introduced himself concisely and concisely, without any stage fright, and his tone was natural and generous. It seemed that he had done a lot of homework before coming up.

Seeing this Li Wen, Luo Quan realized that he seemed to have made a mistake. Her clothes seemed to be a little too casual.

Looking at the candidates taking the exam, the female was wearing a long dress and the male was wearing a suit and leather shoes. Only she was wearing a T-shirt, shorts, and sneakers.

It's probably too late to go back and change clothes now. The exam has already started, and I won't be able to leave the classroom without the teacher speaking.

In the midst of uneasiness, Luo Quan turned his attention to the stage again.

Li Wen's performance has already begun. He applied for the folk music major and naturally sang using ethnic singing methods.

To an outsider, it might sound like he sang pretty well, with a high treble and a shaky vibrato, but in Luo Quan's opinion, his level could only be described as average.

First of all, the chest resonance is too low, the middle air is not enough, the high-pitched head resonance is not lasting enough, and it is mixed with a lot of noise. There are also some problems with the breath of the whole song, which is not stable enough.

Overall, it's not even satisfactory. Compared with his excellent self-introduction, the contrast is really big.

There was no surprise in the final scoring result. According to the hundred-point system, the highest score was removed, the lowest score was removed, and after dividing by eight, the average was obtained, which was 65 points.

Regardless of passing the exam, according to the standards of art candidates, as long as they are less than 80, they have not even reached the threshold for admission.

Seeing such scores, Li Wen's face turned a little pale. After stepping down from the stage, he left the exam in despair. When the other candidates saw this scene, they all felt shocked.

The examiners were expressionless. They had to experience such a cruel scene every year. This boy was considered to have a strong psychological quality. Many candidates, both male and female, burst into tears on the spot after getting low scores. .

But no matter how hard you cry, it doesn't matter. Each of the examiners is so hard-hearted that if you don't give it a pass, you won't give it a pass.

The exam continued, and the next person on the stage was a girl. Her heavy makeup covered up her long pumpkin-like face. She was still a folk music performer. As for her performance, Luo Quan felt that she was on par with the previous Li Wen.

The final score was almost the same, 66. One point more, and there was no hope of admission.

There was no way, hundreds of people applied for the exam, and only less than thirty people were accepted from each major. Naturally, the instructors had to be very cautious when giving scores.

Strict requirements are good for everyone.

Although the strength of most candidates did not meet the standard, not all of them were mediocre. There were still many "geniuses" who appeared during the examination.

Some people even bring their own introductions when they come on stage. As soon as they see him/her, candidates will name them and list a lot of awards.

For example, what terms were won in the National Youth Singing Competition, and won the championship in a certain provincial music competition. In short, there are no shortage of various awards.

The performance of these candidates is indeed much higher than that of others, with scores generally above 85.

One of them participated in the Youth Singer TV Grand Prix and won the runner-up in the popular singing group.

This competition is known as the juvenile version of the Youth Singing Competition. It is open to teenagers under the age of 18 and is the most valuable competition for underage singing groups in China.

Naturally, such a level far exceeds the performance of ordinary candidates. The final score is extremely exaggerated, as high as 96, which should be the highest score currently.

Interestingly, this girl even glanced at Luo Quan in a demonstrative manner when she came off the stage, her eyes full of provocation.

Both of them are applying for general majors, and there is a high probability that they will become classmates and competitors in the future.

Luo Quan didn't take her provocation to heart. She probably wouldn't spend much time in school in the future, so the two of them wouldn't have much chance to meet.

"No. 321, Luo Quan."

Before the Luoquan people came on stage, the candidates below were already talking.

"Why did she come to take the art exam?"

"Is it that Luo Quan?"

"Look at that hair, it's her!"

"I'm so beautiful in person, even more beautiful than in the photos!"

"Does she also sing popular songs?"

"Nonsense, write so many pop songs, why not sing popular songs?"

"I can only sing popular songs, the simplest singing method." The person who said this was a boy, with a hint of superiority in his tone.

"Quiet!" A female professor slammed the table, "Did you all turn a deaf ear to the exam requirements that the dean just said?"

The exam echoed with the female professor's stern questioning, and all the candidates fell silent.

"A star makes you so excited? Are you here to chase stars or to take exams?

So excited, did she sing well? There were so many candidates who got high scores just now, but none of them had won any national award. Why didn't they see you so excited when they came up? ! "

Most of the candidates hung their heads after being scolded, and only a few candidates who won national awards could still hold their heads high.

Luo Quan, who had already stood up, was at a loss at this time. She was completely lying down. The candidates talked about her, which caused the examiner to scold her and took her with him.

The female professor's eyes were fierce and she shouted to Luo Quan: "What are you doing standing there? Come up and take the exam!"

"Oh, okay." Luo Quan hurriedly came on stage.

"Let me introduce myself first." Dean Zheng said expressionlessly.

Being disturbed like this, the originally orderly examination atmosphere was also destroyed. What Dean Zheng hated the most was this kind of situation. Whether it was him or not, other people's faces didn't look very good either.

"My name is Luo Quan. I am eighteen years old. I am an exchange student at the University of Tokyo. I want to apply for the popular music major of the Vocal Music Department."

"I want to remind you before the exam!" The female professor just now spoke again, "I know that you are somewhat famous at home and abroad, and you are an exchange student at the University of Tokyo.

But don’t think that you are great just because you have sung a few popular songs. There are as many capable people from Shangyi as there are stars, and you are not missing one, so don’t think that you can get away with it! "

Luo Quan smiled and nodded, and then said: "Thank you teacher for your teaching, but what I also want to say is that it was not my fault for what happened just now. There is no need for you to vent your anger on me."

"What's your attitude?" The female professor slapped the table again. This time she was really angry.
