917: Chapter 916: What Relies on Being a Celebrity
Coincidentally, the little nurse’s family also lives in the Imperial Capital.
Half an hour later, the two arrived at one of Imperial Capital’s more renowned film and television schools, the Tian Jing Film and Television Academy.
It didn’t take long to find the academic office.
“What can I do for you?” A female staff mber smiled at the two and asked.
“My sister wants to enroll in the Film and Television Academy.” Wang Dadong pushed ng Tingting forward, presenting her to the staff mber.
The female staff mber glanced at the little nurse, her eyes flashing with astonishnt.
This level of beauty, even in a school famous for producing attractive won, was quite rare.
However, the Film and Television Academy has its regulations.
To enroll, one must pass strict examinations; looks alone are insufficient.
Besides, it wasn’t even the enrollnt season.
The female staff mber shook her head regrettably and said, “I’m sorry, to enter the Film and Television Academy, you need to undergo formal examinations.
You can apply during next year’s university entrance exams.”
“Can’t you just make an exception?” Wang Dadong asked irritably.
“Sorry, rules are rules.”
The little nurse tugged at Wang Dadong’s sleeve apologetically and whispered, “Let’s not push it, Brother.
We can co back next year and apply then.
It’ll be the sa.”
Wang Dadong waved her off reassuringly and continued, “Rules are flexible; people are rigid.
Beautiful lady, who’s your boss?
Can I talk to them?
I’ll convince them.”
Since Brother Dong had stepped in, if he couldn’t solve such a minor issue, he might as well slit his throat and end it all.
“Apologies, our director is in a eting and can’t co over.
Even if they were here, your sister still wouldn’t be admitted.” The staff mber’s attitude was firm.
“What’s going on?
Why all the noise and commotion?” At this mont, a balding man around forty, about 1.6 ters tall, walked in.
“Director, these two want to enroll in the Film and Television Academy.
I’ve already explained they should apply during next year’s entrance exams, but they insisted on seeing you.” The female staff mber explained.
“Do you think the Film and Television Academy is just…” The bald director started to say, “Do you think this is a place you can just walk into?” but his words caught in his throat as his eyes landed on the little nurse.
“It’s not impossible to enroll.” The bald man eventually said.
“What?
Director, this is against the regulations.
Students can’t just be added mid-term.” The female staff mber exclaid in surprise.
“Xiao Li, how many tis have I told you?
As educators, our goal should be to nurture outstanding talents for the nation and society, not rigidly adhere to rules and bury genuine ability in bureaucracy.”
“But…”
“No buts!” Xiao Li tried to speak further but was interrupted by a dismissive wave from the bald director.
With a smile plastered across his face, the bald director turned to Wang Dadong and the little nurse, “I apologize for my staff’s lack of understanding.
Please, co into my office to discuss further.”
Although Wang Dadong was disgusted by the bald director’s smile, he swallowed his pride for the sake of the little nurse’s admission.
“Please have a seat.” The bald director was exceedingly hospitable, even pouring tea for Wang Dadong and the little nurse.
Handing tea to Wang Dadong was unremarkable, but when he offered tea to the little nurse, the bald director deliberately brushed her hand.
Startled, the little nurse’s hand shook, spilling the tea.
“Sorry, sorry…” The little nurse apologized hurriedly.
Wang Dadong had seen enough to realize that the bald director was most likely a lecher, entranced by the little nurse’s beauty.
The bald director’s displeasure flickered briefly on his face before he resud his smile and said, “No problem.”
He poured another cup of tea for the little nurse, though this ti refrained from touching her hand.
“How much do you weigh?” The bald director ogled the little nurse as he asked.
“Huh?
Do I have to answer that?” The little nurse asked hesitantly.
The bald director nodded with exaggerated seriousness.
“Of course.
This is the Film and Television Academy where we train stars.
The school needs to know these basic stats.”
“Forty-one kilograms,” the little nurse muttered softly.
“asurents?”
“87, 49, 90.”
“Height?”
“One ter sixty-two.”
After hearing her stats, the bald director’s expression showed a hint of disappointnt.
“asurents and weight are fine, but your height is a bit short.”
The little nurse had a beautiful face and a well-proportioned figure, but her height, at only 1.62 ters, was her one shortcoming.
While 1.62 ters could be considered good for the average girl, it was slightly below the ideal for students at the Film and Television Academy.
“But I want to study music, not acting.” The little nurse bit her lip.
Her dream was to beco a singer.
“Even singers have to et certain standards.
Look at the singers on TV—none of them are under 1.65 ters.”
The little nurse lowered her head like a child who had been reprimanded.
She was frustrated with her height but knew it was sothing she couldn’t change.
“Hey, are you going to admit my sister or not?
She’s so talented.
If your Imperial Capital Film and Television Academy doesn’t want her, other academies will jump at the chance to take her!” Wang Dadong grumbled impatiently.
“No need to rush, sir.
How about this?
You step outside for a mont.
I have a few questions I want to ask your sister privately.”
“Alright.” Wang Dadong didn’t argue and stepped out of the office.
He was curious to see what kind of tricks the bald director would try to pull.
As Wang Dadong left, the bald director discreetly locked the door behind him.
Watching Wang Dadong leave alone, several staff mbers exchanged subtle glances and shook their heads, their faces showing hints of pity.
Soone muttered softly, “Such a sha…”
This bald director’s true nature was no secret to them.
After Wang Dadong left, the little nurse grew visibly uneasy, nervously fumbling with the hem of her shirt.
“Little sister, do you really want to get into the Film and Television Academy?” With Wang Dadong gone, the bald director beca bolder, his gaze shalessly roaming over the little nurse’s body.
The little nurse squird under his stare and nodded lightly.
“You’re quite pretty, but your height is lacking.
Getting into the Film and Television Academy might be difficult unless…”
“Unless what?”
“Little sister, I’ll be blunt.
As you know, the path to becoming a star isn’t nearly as glamorous as it appears on the surface.
Many famous actresses didn’t achieve their fa through talent alone.”
“Then how did they?” The little nurse asked naively.
