my gilded age

Chapter 9 The game of poverty and poverty
Since some things really become more and more unclear the more they are talked about, I won’t say more for now. The most important thing for Bai Shiqiu at the moment is to prepare for the exam.

For many people, even those who have experienced the college entrance examination, the art exam is unfamiliar and feels mysterious.

What exactly does the art exam test?
Fortunately, when he was drifting across the North Piao, Bai Shiqiu was very diligent, and many of his fellow drifters had failed the art exam, so he really understood them, even though he had not officially passed the exam.

Beiying, China National Film and Television, and Shanghai Film and Television are all different, but they remain the same. Especially when Bai Shiqiu is targeting Beijing Film and Television this time, the difference between Beijing Film and China Film and Television is only slight. For example, Beijing Film and Television is more free. I heard that One year, I took the director's exam and was taken directly to a shopping mall. Let's talk about it.

Chinese opera is relatively more rigorous, that is, the exam pattern changes less.

Based on Bai Shiqiu's application goals this time, acting and drama are basically the same.

Recitation, physical form, vocal music, sketch, literary writing...

Then, the difficulty lies in recitation, body shape, vocal music, and sketches.

Reciting depends on the candidate's ability to speak lines. This thing is... reciting, and practicing tongue twisters.As long as you're not too stupid, your tongue isn't too knotted, and you know a few tricks, such as throat compression, you'll be fine.

The difficulty lies in the body, vocals, and sketches.

Skits are naturally the basis of performance, and this thing is very about talent. Bai Shiqiu has been able to work from a small part to a special contract in the past, so he is confident in this aspect.

Therefore, what should be practiced most now is physical and vocal music.

Body, this is not just standing there, and then seeing how it looks like, whether there are bow legs or not, and then it's over.

These two words are actually the most deceptive to laymen in the art exam. Body, let’s put it this way, is expressed in the art exam as dance.

There is no limit on the type of dance given to the examiners, but the candidates must show their 'body' through this dance.

Of course, there is no requirement to dance, but dance is the best way to show your body. Of course, if you know martial arts, you can also do a set of boxing.

Bai Shiqiu’s low goal is a drama class, and his high goal is an acting class. Therefore, physical training is a must. Generally speaking, for this kind of training, you must sign up for a class and find a professional teacher. But, who is Baek Shiqiu? ?
I have never paid any tuition fees since I was a child... How can I enroll in any class if I am a poor person?

Hanging silk, there are methods and methods of hanging silk...

Ding bang!

"Come on, the things over there... have a look."

"Let's work hard together, work hard..."

"Ouch! You hit my foot. Ouch..."

The two-bedroom and one-living house outside the second ring road was like a toss-up for the Bai family, as if they were moving.

"Oh, brother and sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Even the neighbors downstairs came up. After all, the sound insulation effect of the house at this time is very average, especially on the upper and lower floors.

"It's okay, it's okay... Hehe... We just want to change the structure of our family." Mom hurried up.

"Ah, that's it...then what's wrong, brother?"

"I smashed my foot, it's nothing, nothing, haha..."

Neighborhood relations are not very good these days, especially upstairs and downstairs. There are often leaks and vibrations. Anyway, the most important thing about my mother's words is not to let the talkative woman downstairs talk about me. It's okay for a group of people. When the hard-working ladies get together, the social influence they can produce may only be limited to the community, but their explosive power is no less than a nuclear bomb.

Seeing that his mother was so protective of the Bai family's reputation, Bai Shiqiu had no choice but to rub his father's feet alone.

So what is all this fussing about?
After sending away the talkative people downstairs, the Bai family's side is actually pretty much the same, mainly the room where Bai Shiqiu was tormented. According to Bai Shiqiu's request, his room at this time...

It was empty. Apart from the ordinary floor that had been laid by gritting one's teeth and putting in all the effort, all that was left was the east and west walls that faced each other and became two mirrors.

The huge mirror is what Bai Shiqiu asked his parents for money for before. This thing is really not cheap. He bought it second-hand at the old furniture market, but luckily the floor was laid before. Now his room has become a Small practice room.

"Son, is this okay?"

"Qiu'a, is this really going to work?"

My parents stood outside the room, looking at their masterpiece. It was indeed quite spacious... But no, they had all moved out, and there was nothing left. Fortunately, the house had two bedrooms and one living room, and Bai Shiqiu's bed was temporarily placed in that living room.

"It's not bad." Bai Shiqiu was actually very satisfied, but he couldn't make his parents too proud. There were still many things to do in the future.

"That……"

"Qiu'a..."

Both parents looked at Bai Shiqiu, and they understood what he meant. Now that they have built such a practice room, let us see the effect.

How could Bai Shiqiu not understand?
It was summer, and Bai Shiqiu didn't wear much, so he just walked into the practice room without taking off his shoes, because he didn't take off his shoes during the exam, and he didn't have any practice shoes, so he just wore rubber shoes.So, what's the point?

The Bai family never knew that their son could dance, but they only knew that their son was good at basketball. In addition, he also signed up for a school song competition, and it was said that his performance was not bad.

Call ~
Take a deep breath, raise your chest and raise your head, raise your waist and tuck in your abdomen. As soon as this posture is revealed, your parents will praise you in their hearts.

handsome!so handsome!

own son...

Then he made a somewhat weird posture with his hands, and then stepped forward with his right foot. This step was so big!
Bai Shiqiu, who has long hands and long legs, made the room feel smaller with this step. Then, as soon as her left foot came out and her right foot turned, her body turned naturally. The step with her left foot was not small, but it was a little pointy. He didn't put down his heel, but instead used the force of his toes to restore his body to an upright position, and at this time he retracted his right foot.

Bang, there was a slightly dull sound, and that was it for the rubber shoes. It would have sounded much better if they were serious dance shoes.

And this footwork, 1, 2, 3, continues, 1, 2, 3, and then 1, 2, 3... The room is not big, but Bai Shiqiu is here, going around and around , and because of the striding and twisting of the body, there are natural ups and downs, which is very rhythmic.

"Oh, this..." Dad almost didn't understand at all.

"Hey~ It's a bit like that, ballroom dancing." Mom knows a little bit about it.

Bai Shiqiu didn't want to say it at first, but she couldn't help but said, "Waltz."

That's right, it's a waltz, and what Bai Shiqiu did in steps 1, 2, and 3 is a basic footwork of the waltz, BOX.

Waltz itself means 'circle', so some people call this dance a circle dance. When the box steps are continued, it goes round and round.

It's a very basic footwork, but as long as you know this, you should have no problem getting into ordinary dance halls.

Bai Shiqiu didn't know much about dance, but as a senior actor, he needs to know a lot of things. For example, some film and television dramas need to shoot scenes where the protagonist dances, so what is the job of an actor?
Should I still find a professional dancer?How much does that cost?
Therefore, sometimes extras are really versatile.

Bai Shiqiu not only knows the waltz, he also knows other things. Those years of wandering are really not in vain.

But for now, let’s practice the basics first.

Let's talk about Bai Shiqiu's body now...

awesome!
There is nothing to say about our figure. Although it is only 180cm, it looks tall, which is called tall, and it has strong muscles and good flexibility. It seems that playing basketball well also plays a big role.

So, Bai Shiqiu went around in circles...

"Boy, this..."

"time to eat……"

"How's it going? We've finished eating..."

"I watched TV with your dad..."

One hour, two hours... Mom and dad couldn't hold on and almost fell asleep.

Call ~
Finally, it was finally over. Bai Shiqiu was sweating profusely, but he didn't feel tired at all. Instead, he had a smile on his face.

Choose the art exam, that’s it!

Why didn't I think of that before?
Confidence, full of confidence.

But but...

"Mom, you still have to give me money."

"What? Why do you still want it?"

"This money...anyway, isn't it agreed that we will fully support it?"

"Son, our family's conditions are really... OK, Mom will give it."

It also requires money, but I really don’t want it. How can I take the exam without that thing?

However, Bai Shiqiu said to his heart, we are definitely saving money now. Renovating such a practice room only costs a few hundred yuan, and then hundreds more, which adds up to just over a thousand yuan. If we sign up for a class, For such a small amount of money, I am afraid that two classes will be gone.

　Thank you all, thank you.
