April 1st, April Fool's Day.

Perhaps there's nothing particularly worth celebrating on April Fool's Day, but at the gate of Shanghai Theatre Academy, crowds are gathered, handsome men and beautiful women everywhere, luxury cars abound, and quite a few tabloid media are stationed and waiting.

As one of the three major art school giants, the art school entrance exam interview is naturally one of the grand events. However, compared to previous years, this year's entrance exam is much more lively. In 2017, the number of applicants for the Shanghai Theatre Academy entrance exam was 21,872, while this year it directly reached 39,622, a doubling increase. This is not only because Shanghai Theatre Academy increased the number of admissions but also due to their explosive publicity efforts this year, which even prompted Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama to criticize them for shamelessness.

This year, the Shanghai Theatre Academy's Performance Department entrance exam has added a new position called "Exam Suggestion Review," and it's not just a single person but three in total. They invited two alumni who currently have the greatest influence in the entertainment industry: Hu Ge, Li Yin Yin, and another person who is even more famous than the two—Gu Bai.

After all, Gu Bai's popularity among the younger generation is incredibly high. Hu Ge and Li Yin Yin have certain fame in the cultural entertainment field, but Gu Bai is different. He is the most envied existence among youth, the country's youngest billionaire rapidly approaching the trillionaire mark. Even Hu Ge recently announced he was joining Gu Bai's company, and that's just impressive.

Under the drizzle, there are still half an hour before the exam starts, with all candidates lined up and waiting for the Shanghai Theatre Academy entrance exam to begin.

However, there are always a few special figures enjoying privileges that ordinary people cannot.

At the rain shelter temporarily set up by the academy's security personnel, a male and female star with quite some fame in the entertainment circle are chatting under the shelter. As for the bodyguards arranged by their company and the academy's security personnel, they guard the entrance to prevent any sudden actions from enthusiastic fans causing chaos.

The age itself is youthful and lively; many applicants are looking at the shelter and asking fellow candidates, "Aren't those Song Zhu'Er and Wu Sanshi? Didn't they say they'd apply to the Beijing Film Academy? Why are they at the Shanghai Theatre Academy?"

"Exactly! I saw their Weibo the other day, and I thought they were applying to Beijing Film Academy or Central Academy of Drama."

From the examinees' conversation, one can tell that Shanghai Theatre Academy's status in their hearts isn't as high as Beijing Film Academy or Central Academy of Drama.

"What nonsense are you speaking? How is Beijing Film Academy or Central Academy of Drama better than Shanghai Theatre Academy? A few years ago, I might have agreed, but now Shanghai Theatre Academy's resources in the entertainment industry are better than Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama. Let me say it straight—I originally planned to apply to Central Academy of Drama, but seeing Shanghai Theatre Academy's recruitment brochure, I ran straight from the Capital City to Shanghai. Shanghai Theatre Academy is now the base camp of the Black Swan Group. If I'm lucky enough to sign directly with Mr. Gu's company at school, I'd just skyrocket!

Haven't you seen that now the super popular Yang Chao Yue, Wu Xuanyi, Xu Beibei, and Lou Xun are all part of the Black Swan Group?"

"Are you also aiming for Mr. Gu Bai? What a coincidence, me too! My parents wanted me to apply to Beijing Film Academy, but I said no! Just thinking about being able to get close to Mr. Gu Bai makes my heart race!"

"I've heard that Mr. Gu Bai is among our entrance exam reviewers... I wonder if there's a chance to see him in person."

"Should be a chance, right? There are four exam halls. If lucky, you might be assigned to Mr. Gu Bai's review panel..."

Just as the exam is about to start, a few black Maybachs drive down the street not far off, with a silver-gray Lamborghini supercar in the center, also known as the only Poison in the entire Hua Country.

As for the owner of the supercar, everyone knows who it is.

The flashy scissor doors rise, Gu Bai dressed in a light blue trench coat, his hair appearing slightly tousled, with refined features like those carved by a knife and axe. The fine raindrops dripped onto the trench coat, forming tiny rain marks, causing half the female examinees' hearts to skip a beat.

As for most boys, seeing the girls swooning, although they feel a tinge of jealousy arise, even the desire to envy can't arise. Not to mention status, merely on the level of appearance, he's already completely crushing them.

Gu Bai stepped out of the car within three seconds, with several muscular men dressed in black suits hurriedly running from the Maybachs to his side. As for Gu Yi, holding up a pure black umbrella, despite being exposed to the rain entirely, the hand holding the umbrella didn't move the slightest bit, not a single raindrop falling onto Gu Bai again.

Casually tossing the Poison's car keys to a bodyguard, Li Yin Yin and Hu Ge also got out of the Maybachs one after another.

Compared to Gu Bai's casual attire, the two of them seemed much more formal. After all, being invited by the academy as reviewers is a recognition of their professional careers, and of course, they're taking it seriously.

After Hu Ge and Li Yin Yin got out of the car, they stood beside Gu Bai, one left, one right, but noticeably half a step behind Gu Bai. In terms of rank, Hu Ge's level isn't low, but as Gu Bai's subordinate, such a position is quite reasonable. As for Li Yin Yin, although a shareholder of Huayi, she clearly isn't up to par compared to Gu Bai, serving only as a secondary presence.

"Chairman Gu, why do I feel you seem a bit different from a few days ago? Although your features haven't changed, you look even more handsome than the last time we met."
