<h4>Chapter 1579: An Opportunity to Coborate</h4>


    Among this lineup, aside from Zheng Yuan and Yu Jingxian, the rest had allpeted in the Chinese Arts Championships before.


    As for the new freshmen batch, although there were students who were already famous before they got in, they stillcked a solid foundation, so the school did not add Year 1 students into the team.


    Li Zeyu and the other Year 4 students did not go to New York as exchange studentsst year either. It was another group of three that went.


    That was why they had the time to participate in the Chinese Arts Championships.


    It was just that after those three went to New York, two of them stayed there to further their studies and did not return.


    The other person came back and solely focused on developing her career, not caring about school matters at all.


    Dean He from the Performing Arts school contacted that student before, but that student mentioned that she was filming a show outside and not able to return as the reason for her rejection of the offer.


    Dean He even sighed before because of this. The school groomed them and gave them the chance to further their studies, yet now when the school was in need, none of them were willing toe back to help.


    It was Li Zeyu and the other four who still came back when they received Dean He’s call, even though they were no longer in school as Year 4 students.


    Lu Man and the other nine people gathered in a small meeting room in the school.


    Principal Liu, Dean He, Teacher Yao, and Teacher Hong were all present.


    “The format of thepetition has been announced,” Principal Liu said. “Each school willpete in one teampetition, unlike the Chinese Arts Championships, which had used many different modes ofpetition. The individualpetition segment is removed to shorten the process and duration of thepetition. As it is called a friendlypetition, thepetition process cannot be too formal.”


    Actually, the other teachers were unhappy as well. Since they were going to call it a friendlypetition and they’re not going to hold a formalpetition, then there should not be a need to have a win-lose bet.


    Who knew just which brainless person came up with that idea?


    “This time, the format of thepetition allows a team of 10 to decide what they want to perform. We are scheduled topete with the exchange team in thest round,” Dean He said. “What we need to do now is to first confirm the piece you want to perform. Thereafter, decide which character each person is going to y. As for the director, we also need to make a list of names to select from.”


    Principal Liu then said, “Thepetition this time is very important, so we are very particr about choosing a director as well. We won’t just randomly choose a teacher from the Directing major. The teachers from the Directing major will cooperate with us this time, but we hope even more to be able to invite a renowned director toe and guide you all.”


    The usual way of learning was very important, but a good director would know even better how to guide actors and develop their acting potential.


    They’d know what they want in this performance segment and what kind of effect they want the actors to evoke in this performance.


    Aside from Lu Man, everyone else was very excited. No matter the result of thepetition this time around, at least they would have a chance to work with a renowned director and receive direct guidance from them.


    Students who were still in school could not act in films. Even if they could, as neers, they would not have a very impressive background either. It would already be pretty good if they got a role to act in, be it a lead role or a supporting role. How would they even dream of working with a renowned director?


    Even Li Zeyu and the other students who were now in Year 4 and could go out to act did not have a chance to act in a film, let alone work with a renowned director.


    Among the four of them, Li Zeyu and Dong Jingxi had the best development in their careers.


    But both of them mainly acted in television dramas and belonged to the category of newly popr young actors. They were not at the level of a B-list, yet they were still slightly better than a C-list, so they were in an awkward position.


    Hence, when they heard Principal Liu say that, all of them could not help but be excited.
