Li Minxuan, who is also a Douyin Internet celebrity who has won hundreds of millions of likes for his appearance at a young age and has 5 million fans. In March, Li Minxuan participated in the re-examination of the Nortel Art Examination, and it was rumored on the Internet that he had achieved a good ranking. However, netizen "I am an art candidate" revealed that she and Li Minxuan participated in the re-examination in the same examination room, she wore a light-colored practice uniform that day, and revealed her name when introducing herself, both of which are expressly prohibited by Nortel.
The candidate questioned: Why did a candidate who clearly violated the rules get a good result?
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and netizens raised their magnifying glasses one after another, looking for clues. Related topics have appeared on the hot search list on multiple platforms. So far, Li Minxuan himself has not made any response.
By consulting the relevant documents of the undergraduate enrollment network of Beijing Film Academy, the reporter found that the 2024 Nortel "Instructions for the Re-examination of Performance Majors" clearly stipulates that candidates must wear dark physical uniforms during the art examination. The document also emphasizes that candidates are not allowed to reveal their names in any form, otherwise they will be considered cheating.

"There are clear requirements in the exam brochure. A senior acting teacher at Beijing Film Academy told reporters that wearing light-colored clothes and revealing his name is indeed a violation. As for the statement that "Li Minxuan was disqualified from the Nortel exam and passed the certificate for cheating", the teacher said that he did not know the specific situation, and there was no exact statement on this incident within Nortel.
To this end, the reporter called the admissions office of Beijing Film Academy, the acting school and other departments, but as of press time, no one answered the phone. Subsequently, the reporter called the Beijing Municipal Education Commission, and the other party responded: "Li Minxuan's cheating" has been reflected many times in recent days and has been recorded. The Beijing Municipal Education Commission is verifying and has fed back the relevant situation to the Beijing Film Academy, which will conduct a specific investigation.
After verification, there has been a new development in the "Internet celebrity cheating incident". According to Jimu News, the staff of the Beijing Municipal Education Commission revealed that the school is currently reviewing the results of this year's art undergraduate majors, and after receiving complaints and reports, the school attaches great importance to it. After preliminary verification, candidate Li Moumou did disclose his name during the professional examination, and the school has dealt with it in accordance with the relevant enrollment measures and disciplinary procedures.
It is worth mentioning that the "Beijing Film Academy 2024 Art School Examination Undergraduate Enrollment Guide" clearly stipulates that those who violate the examination management regulations and examination discipline and affect the fairness and impartiality of the examination will be strictly investigated and punished in accordance with the procedures and regulations determined by the "Education Law of the People's Republic of China", and the results will be notified in writing to the provincial enrollment examination agency where the students are located for follow-up processing.

Not only that, according to the candidates in the same examination room, Li Minxuan was interrupted by the teacher and asked to "come again" when he reported to his home in the examination room. The revelation caused netizens to question the fairness of the admission to the art examination of the Beijing Film Academy.
In response to this rumor, as of press time, Beijing Film Academy has not issued any official statement in response.
