Fang Zhao's memory had been excellent even during the end of days, and it was even better in this lifetime.
This was Fang Zhao's advantage.
He could memorize the same content in less time. However, with an advantage, he had to work harder. Otherwise, he would be wasting this advantage.
Behind every successful genius was an unimaginable amount of effort.
Fang Zhao had never felt that he was better than others just because he had lived one more lifetime. The world was constantly changing, especially when it came to music. Many things were different from the Old Era. There were more genres and more outstanding works.
Even though Fang Zhao had spent the past few years learning and had more or less mastered a few aspects of his knowledge, he still had to consult others about the content of the exam.
Fang Zhao had consulted a few people who had studied at HuangArt's Twelve Tones advanced course, such as Xue Jing.
Xue Jing's focus was on compiling teaching materials, but he had studied at HuangArt's Twelve Tones and had participated in more than 20 exam questions after graduation. As he grew older, he didn't have much energy to participate, but he still paid attention. When he had time, he would compile a set of targeted exam questions and post it online. He didn't expect to sell for a lot, just to give people who wanted to apply for HuangArt's Twelve Tones a choice.
After finding out that Fang Zhao wanted to apply, Xue Jing picked out the 10 best sets of exam questions and recommended a few books for Fang Zhao to read.
According to Xue Jing's plan, 10 sets of questions, one a day, and after 10 days of intensive training, it would probably be time for the preliminary exam. There wasn't much time left for Fang Zhao to prepare.
Xue Jing sighed in private many times. If Fang Zhao hadn't gone to film, if he had spent the past year on specialized training, with personal guidance from Xue Jing, Fang Zhao's chances of getting into HuangArt's Twelve Tones would have been slightly higher.
But now was fine. There was no harm in young people giving it a try. If he didn't make it this time, there would be opportunities in the future. Even if he didn't make it, he could still suppress his impulsiveness.
Besides Xue Jing, among the people Fang Zhao was familiar with, there was also Ming Cang, vice president of the Yanzhou Music Association and former principal of Qi'an Academy of Music.
All these years, Ming Cang had been focused on his son Ming Ye's illness. He had even stepped down as principal, so he naturally didn't care about other things. Hearing Fang Zhao mention HuangArt's Twelve Tones, Ming Cang specially took out the notes he had locked away in his cabinet. These were all notes he had collated when he had taken the HuangArt's Twelve Tones exam. He had once thought of organizing these notes into a book when he had the time, but unfortunately, he had not been able to do so until now.
"Good luck!"
Back then, Fang Zhao's four movements of the "100-Year Period of Destruction" had cured his son's illness. Ming Cang had never viewed Fang Zhao as an ordinary person.
The way Ming Cang saw it, Fang Zhao wasn't any worse than anyone from HuangArt's Twelve Tones. Even if he didn't pass, that didn't mean Fang Zhao didn't have the ability.
But this was how it was in this circle. One had to have a name to show off. If Fang Zhao wanted to go further in this field and gain the recognition of more academic bigwigs, the grade of Qi Yin's university graduation certificate was not high enough.
If only Fang Zhao could successfully obtain his HuangArt's Twelve Tones graduation certificate. Ming Cang sincerely hoped.
Fang Zhao had a strong memory. Coupled with his accumulated knowledge and experience, he could read books and go through notes very quickly. With a good foundation, he could comprehend things quickly. After reading it, Fang Zhao started to do the 10 sets of questions that Xue Jing had given him.
Xue Jing was indeed a professional textbook editor. He was very specific and even numbered each set of questions. The knowledge points covered by these ten sets of questions had a pattern and a progressive process.
The day after Fang Zhao received Xue Jing's 10 sets of questions, he contacted Xue Jing again to ask if Xue Jing had any more questions.
Xue Jing was very surprised.
"Those 10 sets aren't enough? You do them first. Show me when you're done and I'll pick questions for you based on your situation. "
"I did five sets today. I can still do three more in the afternoon for the interview tomorrow morning." What Fang Zhao meant was very simple. There weren't enough questions.
"Oh, okay. Send me the five sets you've done and I'll grade them for you. You do the remaining questions first. I'll pick from the question bank. "
After the call, Xue Jing sat in front of his desk in a daze. He didn't suspect Fang Zhao of getting someone else to do it for him or of bragging. Based on his understanding of Fang Zhao, he believed that Fang Zhao wouldn't lie about this sort of thing.
After grading the five sets of questions Fang Zhao had sent over, Xue Jing had an idea.
It seemed like he needed to rearrange things. The amount of knowledge Fang Zhao had grasped was much more than he had expected.
After making his decision, Xue Jing flipped through the documents of practice questions for HuangArt's Twelve Tones that he had compiled over the years, selected a set of questions, and sent it to Fang Zhao.
"Do them according to the serial numbers. Send them to me when you're done and I'll grade them for you."
"Sorry to trouble you."
"You don't have to be courteous with me on this matter. Even if I lack other things, I won't be lacking questions! If you pass the preliminary exams, I'll bask in your glory too. "
Now that Fang Zhao wanted to apply for HuangArt's Twelve Tones, Xue Jing was very happy. He was more than happy to help out.
Xue Jing was worried that youngsters were too impetuous and anxious for results, so he exhorted, "After you're done with the questions, you have to do more research on the points you don't understand and consolidate them. This isn't just for the next few exams, it's also for your professional future."
After saying this, Xue Jing was still worried and added, "Of course, I'm not saying that you have to focus on this all day. Relax when you're not doing questions. As the saying goes, strike a balance between work and rest. Only with enough tension and relaxation will your efficiency be high. Us music students have to pay even more attention. You also know that if you only focus on one thing, your thoughts will be strained and you might not be able to compose a good piece."
"Thank you, I understand."
After the call ended, Fang Zhao looked at the time. It was only nine at night. Another set of questions.
The next day, Fang Zhao followed the company's arrangements and brought along two newcomers that the company was going to promote to participate in an interview. Because they had made preparations in advance and had worked with Prairie Fire many times before, the interview went very smoothly.
However, during the interview, according to the company's wishes, Fang Zhao's future plans were not revealed. All they said was that the focus would not be on film and television.
Various professional e-sports teams watching the live broadcast felt their hearts skip a beat.
Is Fang Zhao going to make a comeback?
In a certain high-end professional e-sports chat group. In this chat group were the top teams and individuals from various continents.
"Captain Qin, I heard that Fang Zhao gave you guys training?" someone asked Jinro.
Jinro cursed in his heart. Which idiot in the team leaked this?
But on the surface, Jinro was still very calm. "Yes, our skills are lacking. Zhao-god gave us some training. When are you free to book a practice arena for a friendly match? There have been a lot of new maps released recently. It's fair to pick one that no one is familiar with. "
"No time. We are all waiting for the next phase of the mission. The prize money this time is not small. Most importantly, there is a game gift package. Oh right, will your team's Fang Zhao participate in the next phase of the mission? "
This was also a question that the e-sports teams from other continents were concerned about. Right now, there was not much difference between everyone and was still balanced. Silver Wing's side was still at a slight disadvantage. But if Fang Zhao participated, the original situation would be broken.
Jinro replied, "Our Zhao-god is not participating."
When the others heard this, they felt that it was a pity, but they also rejoiced that Fang Zhao was not going to stir things up. But no matter what they thought, they could not help but grumble.
"That's really a pity. I was still looking forward to his return when I was watching the live broadcast."
"Exactly, I thought we could spar."
"I've been looking forward to it, but I'm disappointed again. What a pity."
"Does your family's Zhao-god accept the challenge?"
"Fang Zhao is doing quite well in the film circles, but I heard insider news that Fang Zhao is going to further his studies in music. I don't know if it's true or not. If it's true, that would be too much of a pity. "
Jinro looked at this group of people and replied, "Seeing how you guys are looking forward to it, let me help you ask him. If he doesn't participate in the next phase of the mission, he can still communicate privately. Also, who was the person who said on the public platform that they wanted to spar with Zhao-god? You guys confirm it, and I will ask Zhao-god. When he is free, I will let you guys have close contact with him. "
Elsewhere, after the interview ended, Fang Zhao left the "Prairie Fire" media building.
Although the two newcomers who had made a big appearance in this interview were about the same age as Fang Zhao, they treated Fang Zhao respectfully as a senior. Furthermore, they were grateful that Fang Zhao was willing to lend them a hand.
"Big Brother Zhao, let's go eat together? We know of a newly opened restaurant. There are quite a lot of dishes, and the taste is pretty good. The environment is nice too. There won't be any random people to disturb us, "the two actors invited sincerely.
"Next time, I still have things to do," Fang Zhao replied.
Although the two newcomers felt that it was a pity, when they thought about the internal rumors that Fang Zhao was going to further his studies, they did not urge him to stay.
After returning home, Fang Zhao took an afternoon nap. When he woke up, he sat in his study and did another three sets of questions.
After finishing the questions and tidying up his notes, Fang Zhao looked at the message Jinro had left him.
Jinro would not really go so far as to interfere with Fang Zhao's important matters over such a small matter. He had just treated it as a joke and had not expected that Fang Zhao would really accept the challenge at this time.
Fang Zhao scanned the questions in his hands and replied, "Sure. Who are the people? What are the practice venue maps? "
Jinro, who was in the company's computer room training the newcomers, saw this reply and his hand trembled. He could not be bothered with training the newcomers anymore and hurriedly replied, "Zhao-god, you don't have to take this matter too seriously. They are just shooting their mouths. Actually, they have no such intentions. You should just go and busy yourself with your matters. I heard that there are still exams? Don't let this affect proper business. "
"No problem. Old Mr. Xue also said that there must be a balance between work and rest. There must be a balance between tension and relaxation."
Jinro: "..."
Do these "relaxation" and "relaxation" mean what I understand them to mean?
After the call ended, Jinro was still a little absent-minded, but he very quickly became excited and contacted the people who had said that they wanted to challenge Fang Zhao.
This time, there were eight people who were confirmed. Actually, these eight people did not really want to challenge Fang Zhao, but the words had already been said. It was a matter of face, and they would not change their minds. Thinking about it, Fang Zhao had already been away from gaming for so long. They did not know how his standard was now. If he still maintained a high standard, it would be a good thing for them to interact more with experts.
After contacting everyone, confirming the practice area map and confirming a few times when everyone could spare some time, Jinro left Fang Zhao a message. If it was not an especially important matter, he would only leave a message and would not directly call to disturb Fang Zhao.
This time, Fang Zhao waited half an hour after the message was sent before replying.
"All right, then let's do it now."
Jinro was still worried. "You just finished the questions? Do you want to rest a little longer? "
"No need. I just finished a set of marching music with many variations. My condition is pretty good."
Jinro: "..." Understood. This is because he was too excited from doing the questions and had nowhere to vent.
After getting a confirmation from Fang Zhao, Jinro immediately contacted the other eight people. "The kid at home is making a fuss. I won't be joining you guys today. I will give you the time and coordinates. The eight of you go first. "
Little Qin Fei, who was doing his homework at home, raised his head and silently glanced at his dad. Why are you pushing the blame to me again? I am clearly very obedient.
