Chapter 18: Expression, Poetry, Rejection
Upon seeing this, Zhang Zeyan instinctively began to block and then counterattack.
Fortunately, when he counterattacked, he instantly realized that this was an exam, so he held back most of his strength; otherwise, he was really afraid that he would be killed by someone if he punched him.
The one who launched the attack on Zhang Zeyan was Zheng Xinyao, who was performing martial arts next to him.
Zheng Xinyao studied martial arts for a period of time specifically for filming.
After seeing Zhang Zeyan perform martial arts, she immediately hatched a plan to test his skills, which led to the situation that just happened.
In the dance studio, everyone else was performing their own routines, except for Zhang Zeyan and Zheng Xinyao, who were going back and forth in a dance battle.
It was said to be a back-and-forth affair, but in reality, Zhang Zeyan went easy on them.
If it were a real fight, Zhang Zeyan could kill Zheng Xinyao in one move.
Although Zheng Xinyao had learned some fighting skills, Zhang Zeyan saw them as weaknesses.
Most importantly, after being transformed by the Entertainment Saint Body over the past few years, Zhang Zeyan not only has a perfect physique, but his strength has also almost reached the limit of human beings. Even fighting masters cannot gain the upper hand in front of him.
"alright!"
Two minutes passed quickly, and the examiner called all the students to a stop.
Huff! Huff~
After the performance, Zheng Xinyao was panting heavily, while Zhang Zeyan acted as if nothing had happened.
"Sorry for what I just said!" Zheng Xinyao said to Zhang Zeyan.
"It's nothing," Zhang Zeyan waved his hand.
Just then, an examiner stepped forward.
"Alright, the physical fitness test is over. This student, this student, this student, and this student, please stay. The rest of you, please leave." The examiner pointed to the four students and then addressed the others.
Upon hearing this, all the students except the four who were mentioned looked dejected.
Two of the girls were so devastated that tears streamed down their faces.
"Please leave," the examiner said sternly.
Hearing this, the other students, even if unwilling, had no choice but to leave.
Soon, only four students who had passed the assessment remained in the classroom.
Of the four students, Zhang Zeyan and Zheng Xinyao were both present, along with one other boy and one other girl.
"Next, let's all introduce ourselves, starting with this student!" A female examiner pointed to Zhang Zeyan at the far end.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zeyan quickly introduced himself in perfect Mandarin: "Hello, teachers! My name is Zhang Zeyan, I am 18 years old, and I come from Tianyang City..."
Zhang Zeyan quickly finished his self-introduction.
After Zhang Zeyan finished his self-introduction, Zheng Xinyao, who was standing next to him, also quickly introduced herself.
"Hello teachers, my name is Zheng Xinyao, I am 18 years old, and I am also from Tianyang City..."
Upon hearing Zheng Xinyao's self-introduction, Zhang Zeyan couldn't help but glance at her in surprise.
He never expected that Zheng Xinyao was from the same city as him.
Previously, although he knew of Zheng Xinyao, he had never really paid attention to where she was from.
After Zheng Xinyao finished her introduction, the other two students quickly followed suit.
After everyone had introduced themselves, one of the examiners said, "Next, we will test your acting skills. You can perform lines from a movie or TV show of your choice, or recite poems, articles, monologues, etc. We'll start with this student."
After speaking, the examiner pointed to a handsome boy at the very back.
Upon hearing the teacher's words, the handsome boy quickly stepped forward.
"Hello teachers, I'm going to imitate a line from the movie 'Survival'..."
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, the handsome boy began his performance.
Two minutes later, the boy finished his performance.
"My performance is finished, thank you teacher!"
"Okay, now please let this student begin your performance." The examiner pointed to a girl next to the boy.
Two minutes later, the girl finished her performance.
Next up was Zheng Xinyao.
"Hello teachers, I'm going to perform a line from the TV series 'Spring Pond Garden'..."
Soon, Zheng Xinyao began her performance.
Upon hearing Zheng Xinyao's words, Zhang Zeyan inwardly cried out that she was cheating.
This Spring Pond Garden is the very place where Zheng Xinyao herself acted in a play.
Zheng Xinyao's performance ended quickly.
"Zhang Zeyan, please begin your performance."
Finally, it was Zhang Zeyan's turn to perform.
After hearing the examiner's words, Zhang Zeyan thought for a moment and then said, "Hello, teachers, I would like to recite a poem."
After saying that, Zhang Zeyan began to recite.
Of the myriad things in this world, I love three: the sun, the moon, and you. The sun is for the morning, the moon is for the evening, and you are for every morning and evening.
Of all the things in this world, only three are truly attainable: the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror, and you in my dreams. The moon can be sought, the flower can be obtained, but you are the one I cannot have…
Zhang Zeyan recited the poem with great intonation and emotion.
"Teacher, I've finished reciting."
Upon hearing Zhang Zeyan's words, none of the assessment teachers had yet reacted.
The poem Zhang Zeyan recited was simply too short; it was over in the blink of an eye.
However, although this poem is very short, it is very moving.
"What's the name of your poem?" one of the examiners asked Zhang Zeyan.
"Call me Sun and Moon and You," Zhang Zeyan replied.
This poem was created by a brilliant internet user on Earth, who translated a line from the movie Twilight.
A proper translation would be: I love three things in this world: the sun, the moon, and you. The sun is daytime, the moon is nighttime, and you are eternity.
Later, this poem was translated by a talented Chinese netizen as: Of the three thousand worlds, I love three: the sun, the moon, and you. The sun is for the morning, the moon is for the evening, and you are for every morning and evening.
Later, this poem was even attributed to the great poet Tagore, because Tagore loved to write love poems. However, Tagore never wrote this poem.
"Zhang Zeyan, I can't find the poem you recited?" a teacher asked Zhang Zeyan while holding up his phone.
Upon hearing the question, Zhang Zeyan replied, "Because this poem was written by myself and was never published online."
"What? You wrote it yourself?"
The examiners were all very surprised.
"Yes." Zhang Zeyan nodded.
Seeing Zhang Zeyan nod, one of the teachers couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. "You're the one! Your poem is comparable to that of a master; it's excellent."
Hearing this, the other female examiner smiled and said to Zhang Zeyan, "That's right, and your recitation was excellent. But I'm curious to know, what kind of person could make such a handsome boy like you yearn for someone you can't have?"
"Ahem, this is just something I wrote randomly, it wasn't written for any particular person," Zhang Zeyan quickly explained.
"hehe!"
Upon hearing Zhang Zeyan's explanation, all the teachers laughed.
"Alright, the assessment is over. We'll see the results later. You can leave now," the middle-aged examiner said to everyone.
"Okay, teacher!"
Zhang Zeyan nodded to the teachers, then led the way outside.
"Zhang Zeyan".
Just as I left the examination room, a voice rang out behind me.
Zhang Zeyan turned his head and found that it was another girl besides Zheng Xinyao.
"Zhang Zeyan, can we add each other as friends?" The girl asked Zhang Zeyan shyly, holding up her phone.
"Sorry! I don't add people as friends." Zhang Zeyan refused directly.
As he spoke, he took out a mask and sunglasses again and put them on.
He had been fooled before. When he was in junior high school, he added some girls on his WeChat, and they kept sending him messages, which annoyed him a lot.
