Chapter 003 Inspiration

He was not just stunned; he was intently observing the woman before him. After looking at her several times, he finally confirmed that the woman in front of him was none other than the future superstar, Tang Wei

However, just after Wu Xiang placed his order and was about to return with the tray, he forgot to take the straw.

Child, you go ahead and decide, we both do not understand this.

"It's alright." The voice of that woman came out, leaving Wu Xiang stunned.

Both Wu Dad and Wu Mom wore smiles on their faces, and the taste of the hamburger in their hands seemed less strange.

In response to his parents' questions, Wu Xiang provided the same answer.

Ah, I apologize. Wu Xiang, feeling anxious, moved his hands a bit too quickly, not noticing that there were others who needed straws

It was a very slender hand, with skin that was white, smooth, and delicate. The moment Wu Xiang's fingers made contact, it felt as if a current of electricity coursed through his body

Well, whatever you order, we will eat.

Wu Xiang is from Northeast China. At his age, it is evident that his parents belong to a generation that did not experience favorable times. When his parents were young, they were sent to the countryside, and in their middle age, they lost their jobs. As they grew older, having worked in factories their entire lives, their health deteriorated, and they became frequent visitors to the hospital pharmacy. Before his rebirth, Wu Xiang often regretted not being able to care more for his parents, especially at this age.

It's alright, child. Even if we don't perform well on this exam at m.hetushu.com, there will be opportunities in the future

What does it mean to be acceptable

Where shall we celebrate

His own parents are still so simple and unpretentious. To be honest, Wu Xiang really feels a bit like crying. How could he not have appreciated this before?

However, at this moment, Wu Xiang was not preoccupied with the missed opportunity to meet a future glamorous female star; instead, he was contemplating something in his mind, something that could very well change his life right now.

Wu Xiang did not have this idea; he was considering that encountering Tang Wei in this place likely indicated that Tang Wei was also here to take the entrance exam for the Film Academy. However, according to Wu Xiang's memory, Tang Wei was enrolled at the Central Academy of Drama and only passed the entrance exam in 2000

In other words, she might not perform very well this time. Isn't it rather foolish to approach her at this moment? Moreover, her parents are still around; it shouldn't be so urgent to the point of desperation, right?

How did the child perform on the exam

"No, Mom and Dad, I think it’s not enough to eat. I’ll go buy a Big Mac," Wu Xiang said, then got up to order again

Mom and Dad, shall we go eat at McDonald's? What do you think?

Wu Xiang is also a clever person; upon hearing this, he immediately understood and promptly bowed with a smile, which naturally pleased several teachers.

Very well, we now feel that it all depends on your college entrance examination results. Please don't let a few of us down. Hehehe...

In 1997, McDonald's and its chicken offerings were truly a novelty, unlike in later years when everyone understood that it was merely a low-end fast food establishment. Nowadays, McDonald's and similar eateries can be considered high-end and sophisticated.

Indeed, indeed! This idea is truly excellent; it seems that no one has thought of it before.

The direction of the literature department is quite clear; graduates from this major typically pursue careers in screenwriting or theoretical research. However, this time, during the interview that Wu Xiang experienced, he was treated as if he were a director. Nevertheless, this is of no concern, as Wu Xiang's current goal is to become a director

As the examination reached this stage, Wu Xiang was basically able to confirm in his heart that although he had never known these teachers, he could anticipate that he would soon become acquainted with them.

Wu Xiang's ambiguous response was merely due to the fact that he had not yet received the admission letter. Although he had passed this stage, as a person who had been reborn, he truly felt uncertain about whether he could succeed in the college entrance examination. Therefore, he did not want to let his parents be overly optimistic for nothing

Is this the benefit of applying to a film academy? To casually encounter big stars? It seems I wasn't too foolish in the past... Wu Xiang thought to himself, but someone was not pleased.

Wu Xiang secretly despised Yi He, thinking to himself, "How inexperienced can one be with women? Just a little hand touch and this is how they react? Truly embarrassing!"

There is a store not far from the film academy, indicating that they are quite adept at finding locations for their business. However, upon entering, Wu's parents felt somewhat constrained, as they were indeed not very accustomed to this environment

It is quite simple; teaching a person to fish is better than giving them a fish. Helping them escape poverty is the best approach. For instance, many impoverished mountain villages are located in remote areas. Although they are remote, many of these places are beautiful and picturesque, with pristine nature. If I were a prominent director, I would choose to shoot in such areas, or even construct various buildings to establish a film base. In this way, if my film achieves great success, it would not only enable the operation of this film base but could also stimulate the local tourism industry.

Certainly, this matter truly needs to be addressed, and the difficulty is considerable. Transportation is a particularly challenging issue to resolve, but having this idea now is already quite an achievement

Wu Xiang had not finished speaking when a teacher immediately interrupted him

This is a great opportunity, why let it slip away? Isn't it good to get to know a future superstar?

Although it is not to the extent that they cannot afford food, Wu Xiang's family is not in a good economic situation. Fortunately, he is applying for the Chinese Language or Directing department. If he were to apply for the performance department, which has the highest "gold content," the Wu family would probably not be able to support it. Not to mention the costs of performance tutoring classes, even the annual tuition fee of 6,000 yuan for mhetushucomcom1 is already a burden for this family, and the Chinese Language department only requires half of that. Therefore, Wu Xiang did not consider any luxury restaurants; after thinking it over, he made his choice.

In the future, I must ensure that my parents live a good life, absolutely!

Wu Xiang understood that he must have been accepted into the film academy, and the next challenge would be the college entrance examination

Wu Xiang felt disappointed and had no choice but to touch his nose and take the food back.

Genius! This is a brilliant idea! Although the implementation of your idea may be somewhat challenging, it is nonetheless a viable path, a development route well worth exploring

The reason why Wu Xiang chose this place is mainly because it is currently upscale yet affordable, but he overlooked his parents' tastes, indicating that he has indeed been somewhat spoiled

3 Big Mac meals, with one substituted for coffee, apple pie, and milkshake... there isn't much variety, as McDonald's only offers a limited selection

What is wrong with this child? They were not such a big eater before

Child, what are you thinking about? Wu Ma looked at her son, who seemed a bit lost in thought

It is acceptable, it is acceptable

Is it not good to eat a little? I think it's quite good; this child has taken an exam once and has indeed grown up

McDonald's, beauty, encounter, this seems to carry a wonderful connection, and this guy Wu Xiang even reminds me of a novel that I once really liked, which also became a classic that was all the rage for a time. The most crucial point is that it has not yet been published

There are indeed many well-known restaurants here in the capital, such as Quanjude and Yanjing Hotel, but those places are not inexpensive, and Wu Xiang truly finds it hard to part with his money

How annoying! Yes, how annoying it is to stare at someone like that

A few teachers exchanged smiles, which was equivalent to informing Wu Xiang of the result. In fact, this is not unusual; the examination process at the Film Academy is like this. When they encounter promising candidates, some teachers may even approach you for a conversation right after the second round of interviews, and may even propose special admissions. This is because cultural subjects are not so easy; they are a rigorous part of the college entrance examination.

Wu Xiang silently vowed to use the money given by his parents to order food

In this era, the idea proposed by Wu Xiang to drive the surrounding economy through the film and television city is undoubtedly very novel. Currently, the Hengdian area is just beginning, and no one can see this trend. However, Wu Xiang is different; he has been reborn from the future, and this concept is quite simple. Many regions develop in this way. Although many places have incurred losses, there are also numerous instances where local economic development has been significantly supported.

However, at this point, the exam was already over, and there was no sign of unhappiness on their son's face. Mr. and Mrs. Wu thought that the results should still be satisfactory. Therefore, the whole family decided to go out for a meal, also to celebrate a little.

Well, I truly did not expect that you, this child, could think of this step. It really makes us feel old.
