Chapter 001: Just Reborn and Facing an Examination

It can be seen from this that Wu Xiang is essentially a typical little emperor. He is the only child in the family, and all of his parents' love is focused on him, which has led him to develop some of the flaws characteristic of a little emperor

It was this examination, this art examination that would determine the fate of one's life, that Wu Xiang fainted due to poor health just before the final test. Although he managed to complete it, he ultimately failed to achieve a satisfactory result. Deeply discouraged, Wu Xiang did not perform well in the college entrance examination either, and was left with no choice but to attend a second-tier university. After graduating, he initially worked as an online writer, and later became a small screenwriter, participating in many criticized anti-Japanese dramas.

Wu Xiang has loved watching movies since childhood. He has always been very interested in film and television, and he thought to himself that if he could not become a big star, he would at least become a great director. Therefore, as he was nearing the end of high school, he decided to apply to an art school to become an art student.

Child, what is wrong with you? What has happened to you?

In February, although there is already a hint of green early spring in Yanjing, the biting wind and cold still evoke a sense of desolation. Nevertheless, many people have gathered at the entrance of the Beijing Film Academy, comprising both men and women of various ages, including both the elderly and the young. However, these young individuals, regardless of gender, can certainly be described as handsome men and beautiful women.

Wu Xiang felt that his head was heavy, almost as if it were not his own. The light was somewhat blinding, prompting him to quickly open his eyes. This is not right! Isn't that a green light? Isn't this a pedestrian crossing? Why is someone calling out to me...

Many people have likely understood that what is currently taking place is the entrance examination for the Beijing Film Academy, and this is the final session. However, at this critical moment, some individuals seem to be struggling a bit.

A middle-aged couple was anxiously circling around a young man, as the exam was about to begin, and their son had unexpectedly fainted.

The first test is not a big deal; it mainly consists of some basic knowledge. As long as there are no significant issues with intelligence, most people can pass it. However, problems arise during the second test.

I was just contemplating the script earlier, and I was a bit inattentive. However, Wu Xiang saw very clearly that I did not violate any traffic rules. Yet, in the blink of an eye, I unexpectedly saw my parents. No, they are not old at all!

My child is applying for the literature class. The father replied very politely

In fact, failing an exam is not solely due to one's own confusion; there are other reasons as well. For instance, in previous exams, Wu Xiang was somewhat excessive in his responses to the questions.

How can you, as a mother, be so negligent with your child? This is called giving up halfway! How can one succeed like this?

Son, how are you doing

When Wu Xiang saw the topic presented this time, he could not contain himself, as the film chosen as the examination question was "Autumn Chrysanthemum Sues the Government"

You old man, with the child in this condition, what are you still testing for! Our Xiangzi has had poor health since childhood; aren't you putting the child's life at risk? Mother is still the same, somewhat indulgent towards herself

Both my father and mother began to argue, and even some parents of other candidates gathered around. Being Chinese, they all enjoy watching the commotion and seeing the excitement

Wu Xiang originally intended to apply for the directing department, but in 1997, Yanqing Film Academy did not admit undergraduate students for the directing program. It was not until the following year that they would enroll a class. Therefore, when applying to the film academy, Wu Xiang had no choice but to select the literature department.

As the large group entered the examination hall, Wu Xiang continuously reflected on the remnants of memories in his mind. In truth, he did not have much confidence; he harbored an overwhelming amount of resentment regarding this examination.

The current situation is that every family has only one child, and it is difficult to discipline them. Sometimes, even when words are harsh, one feels a sense of pain and compassion. This is largely the case throughout society.

At this moment, Wu Xiang is somewhat young; although it is said that a young calf is not afraid of a tiger, he also exhibits some immaturity and does not consider issues comprehensively. This time, his poor performance in the exam stems from this.

Willful, this is common. Wu Xiang believes he can still manage it, but there is one point that is quite fatal. Wu Xiang is rather picky about food, which has resulted in his health not being very good; he is extremely thin.

Son, you have scared your mother to death. What is going on with you? Is it the pressure from the exams these past few days? Should we find a place to rest for a while? The concerned gaze of his mother warmed Wu Xiang's heart, a feeling he had not experienced for many years

If I remember correctly, it should be February 1997, which is the examination period for art colleges. Since it is my first time traveling far, both my mom and dad came along.

You really are something, why do you always falter at critical moments? The exam is just around the corner, if you leave now, then all our previous efforts will be in vain... My father is absolutely right; unlike my mother, he does not indulge me so much.

Son, wake up, wake up!

Son! Are you awake?

Elder brother, what is your child studying for the exam? People, after all, enjoy getting involved

In fact, another art institution, the Central Academy of Drama, does offer an undergraduate program in directing. However, Wu Xiang has been fascinated by film academies since childhood, so he did not apply, which cost him an opportunity. The reality proved that this was merely the beginning of a series of mistakes.

Wu Xiang has also thought it through; he absolutely detests his former self, who would bend at the slightest setback. He wants to change all of this. This is an opportunity, an opportunity he must seize

In this moment, for reasons unknown, Wu Xiang's parents perceived something slightly different in their child compared to before, as if their child had grown up

Oh, young lady, your child is really quite thin. Why not go back and prepare for next year? There are also onlookers who have observed carefully and made reasonable suggestions

Where am I?

Oh? Wu Xiang immediately froze, for he witnessed an incredible scene

The body is the capital of revolution; unfortunately, by the time Wu Xiang understood this principle, he had already committed irreparable mistakes

It is precisely for this reason that the proud Wu Xiang was so struck by this failure that he could not hold his head up and fell into despair

So given the current situation, should we take the exam or not

The literature department's re-examination focuses on film analysis and writing, which has always been Wu Xiang's strong suit. He has loved this since childhood, so isn't it a piece of cake for him to take this exam now

It turns out to be one's own parents

As far as I am concerned regarding the child's condition, let us come back next year

That... even mother felt a bit embarrassed

In principle, Wu Xiang could take the exam again, or even multiple times, but he did not do so. This significant setback left Wu Xiang in despair, and he could no longer face this examination

Upon hearing this, Wu Xiang roughly understood that it seemed he had been given a second chance, and now was the most critical period of his life: the college entrance examination

There is a reason for this. Wu Xiang, although he is a little emperor, has always been the so-called "other people's child" since he was young. In terms of exams, he struggled with mathematics, but he has always excelled in the humanities, consistently ranking first. From elementary school to high school, he never spent a single penny on school selection fees; he gained admission to key schools solely through examinations. If it weren't for some subjects he was weaker in, he would undoubtedly have been a top scholar. Therefore, although he is a little emperor, he possesses the qualifications to be one.

Wu Xiang stood up and moved around a bit, then said: "Mom, Dad, I'm fine, I will take the exam!"

In the language of contemporary internet slang, it can be expressed as TOO YOUTH TOO SIMPLE SOMETIMES NAIVE
