On the second and third days, the two got along in the same way: after class, Zhong Buqun would wait for Lu Panpan and accompany her to the cafeteria to eat.
After eating, the two were planning to take a walk on campus before going back to their respective dormitories. At this time, their eyes were attracted by a huge poster posted in the corridor.
Looking at the crowd of onlookers, Lu Panpan's gossip radar immediately went off, "Let's go and see what's going on."
Zhong Buqun had no choice but to let her pull her sleeves and squeeze into the crowd.
"In view of the fact that the candidates for the 'Young Seedlings Cup' acting school contestants are still undecided, our school will reorganize the campus qualifiers starting tomorrow, and students from all departments are welcome to actively sign up..." Lu Panpan got closer to read the words on the poster, but it was
The more I read, the uglier my face became.
Even if the school replaces them, it will still have to start a new round of selection and send representatives to participate in the regional finals.
They should not think about registration. Even if the registration is successfully reviewed, the school will eliminate them early because they are worried about the impact of the forum incident between the two of them.
"Stop looking," Zhong Buqun said solemnly, "Let's go."
"Eh? Wait!" Lu Panpan shouted suddenly, and Zhong Buqun stopped and waited for her.
"Students who have registered for the regional preliminaries through off-campus channels from the official website of the event, please do not register again..." Lu Panpan continued to read the text on the poster, and Zhong Buqun also looked in the direction of the poster.
Is there also an off-campus track this year?
"That's great! In addition to direct promotion through on-campus selection, we can also register in our own name from outside the school and participate in the Youth Cup!" Lu Panpan was so excited that she directly took Zhong Buqun's arm.
"This seems to be a competition system that was improved this year. Before, our senior brothers and sisters seemed to have only one way to compete in school." Zhong Buqun didn't seem to notice Lu Panpan's movements and was still recalling it to himself.
"Let's sign up for the competition too!" Lu Panpan was still holding Zhong Buqun's arm and shaking it gently, looking at him pitifully with a pair of shining eyes.
"Are you sure?" Zhong Buqun didn't look as excited as Lu Panpan.
He took another step forward and read through the large and small words on the poster.
If you participate in a regional competition, you need to prepare a five-minute preliminary play and a five-minute semi-final play before the finals. Not only does it take up a lot of time for the two of you, but you may not be fully prepared before going on stage.
They participated in the school selection competition at that time and only needed to prepare a one-and-a-half-minute play and submit it to the teachers of the college for scoring.
Moreover, if you directly participate in the regional competition, you will no longer be selected in the name of the student group, but will be directly included in the huge "professional group" group.
The workload and challenges required to participate in the competition are something they have never faced in their many years of studying dance.
"...but I really can't think of anything else we can do besides signing up outside school...Every year, the National Dance Troupe attaches great importance to the top three in each group of this competition. If we miss this opportunity, will we have to compete in the competition?"
When recruiting for the national dance, will "thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge"?" Lu Panpan also knew that she was taking it for granted, but she still refused to give up.
"We still need to consider this matter in the long term. I personally do not recommend making a decision now..." Zhong Buqun is still cautious about this matter.
He also wanted to respect Lu Panpan's decision, but he really couldn't give in easily.
If you want dancers to stand on the stage and perform a five-minute double ballet repertoire almost perfectly, you need to recruit a small number of on-campus students who have signed up through off-campus channels, as well as most of the majors who are already in the industry and cannot sign up through on-campus channels.
To stand out among the dancers, one can imagine the effort and hardship required behind it.
Maybe Lu Panpan and Zhong Buqun have good abilities and skills, but they really have no professional stage experience...
If long-term rehearsals delay schoolwork, or if the schedule conflicts with any arrangements of the school after hard rehearsals, the school will not allow them to participate, or even be "beaten" by professional dancers who have been practicing for many years in the preliminaries. All the hard work is in vain, isn't it?
More gain than loss?
"Oh..." In fact, Lu Panpan was unwilling to give up. However, the Qingmiao Cup Organizing Committee never accepted solo dance repertoire. Zhong Buqun was her dance partner. If he did not agree, she would have no choice but to give up.
Seeing his dance partner so dejected, Zhong Buqun felt uncomfortable. But even if Lu Panpan was unwilling, he knew that he could not give up weighing the pros and cons of competing through off-campus channels.
This time when I went to the bar to have fun and was photographed by others, it was because I had gradually relaxed my vigilance against the interested people lurking in the dark and was too playful. From today on, he and Lu Panpan will work hard to graduate smoothly.
And every move you make when entering your ideal industry must be done with caution.
It's time for them to curb their idleness outside of class and make careful plans for the future.
…
Although he had promised Zhong Buqun not to make an impulsive decision to register for the off-campus track yet, Lu Panpan hurriedly opened her computer after returning to her dormitory and logged into the official website of the Qingmiao Cup.
Even if the decision to participate in the competition cannot be made hastily, it should be okay if I log on to the official website and browse to satisfy my cravings, right?
Speaking of which, that account was registered as a current student when he and Zhong Buqun participated in the school qualifiers. This chapter has been completed!
