Chapter 713 'Learning Never Ends'

"Actually, your acting is very good when you take it alone, Sister Meng. You can see that you put a lot of effort into it. It's not the kind of acting that makes you make faces and speaks in plain language without any emotion." Wang Chuanjun looked at Sister Meng and said sincerely, "But the person opposite you is Cheng Cheng. Although he has his shortcomings, you can't match his acting."

Sister Meng was stunned after hearing this.

"Cheng Cheng's acting really immersed us. Take the clip just now for example. My attention was always on Cheng Cheng. I didn't notice you at all. You didn't attract me at all. Especially Cheng Cheng's habit from acting in dramas. When there was no filming on the scene, it was really hard for me not to look at Cheng Cheng."

What Wang Chuanjun said were all from the bottom of his heart. He really liked Li Cheng's performance, which was handled very cleanly. Although the movements of the facial features were a little exaggerated, it was perfect for a drama. It might be captured very clearly in a TV series or a movie, but if you stand on the stage of a drama, it would be a very good performance.

“Then how should I adjust and learn?”

Sister Meng is very serious about her professional matters. She wants to be a capable person and doesn't want to be a vase.

"In fact, your school's method is very good, especially the morning exercises, which require a lot of effort, as well as the body exercises."

Wang Chuanjun didn’t know how Sister Meng improved. It depends on the person. After all, some people are blessed by God.

Next, everyone began to share improvement techniques with Sister Meng.

Meng Ziyi sat upright on the sofa in the room, his eyes focused, as if he could penetrate the words of the person in front of him and get to the secret of improving his acting skills.

The sunlight shone on her face through the floor-to-ceiling windows. In the mottled light and shadow, her brows were slightly furrowed, revealing her persistence and determination in the pursuit of acting.

In the bedroom, Li Cheng and others sat together, their conversations full of rich experience and sincere guidance.

The sound echoed in the room, and every word was like a key, opening the door to Meng Ziyi's understanding of acting.

The pen in her hand quickly sketched on the script, like the tentacles of her mind, eager to catch the sparks of inspiration that flashed by.

“Acting is not just about the expression on your face, it’s about every muscle in your body, the rhythm of your breathing, the eye contact.”

Wang Chuanjun's words were gentle and magnetic, and Meng Ziyi's eyes sparkled as he spoke.

She felt the confidence to be at ease in front of the camera, which was a precious treasure gained through countless training and practice.

As the discussion deepened, Meng Ziyi's expression became more varied. She sometimes nodded, sometimes pondered, and her heart seemed to be having an intense dialogue with the words of the teachers.

She knew that every word she said today would become an important cornerstone on her path to becoming a powerful actress.

The sunlight outside seemed to feel the warm atmosphere in the house. It shone even warmer on Meng Ziyi, as if cheering for her acting career.

Meng Ziyi is fully immersed in this concentration and learning. There is a firm light in her eyes, which is the expectation and desire for infinite possibilities in the future.

Wang Hedi stood aside with a confused look in his eyes. Every word that sounded in his ears seemed to be washed away by water waves. They seemed within reach, but in fact were out of reach.

He pursed his lips tightly, frowned slightly, and tried hard to grasp a clue from the explanations about acting, but they slipped through his fingers like water.

With desire surging in his heart, he wanted to improve and become a popular actor who could speak with his acting skills.

His eyes occasionally swept across other people's faces, and he saw that they all seemed to understand easily, with focused and clear expressions on their faces, which made him feel a little inferior and anxious.

He knew that his starting point was not high, and there were constant controversies about his acting skills on the Internet, which made him more eager to prove himself and narrow the gap with other actors.

Wang Hedi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. He told himself that this was a rare opportunity and he must seize it.

He began to try to understand from a different perspective, to feel the essence of what Zhang Guoli, Song Dandan and Wang Chuanjun said, and tried to combine these theories with his actual performances.

Gradually, he seemed to be able to understand the character's inner world. It was an unprecedented feeling, both strange and exciting.

His eyes gradually became firm. Even though the discussions around him were still like a dense web that surrounded him, he began to have his own direction.

He knows that although the journey is long and the road is difficult, as long as he keeps working hard, he will be able to see the light one day and become a truly talented actor.

There was a gleam of satisfaction in Song Dandan's eyes.

She watched Wang Hedi listen attentively to her every word. His eyes were focused and serious, as if he could see through every subtle detail in her words.

A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and she felt extremely happy to be taken seriously.

Her words are full of love and respect for performing arts. She hopes that Wang Hedi can understand the true meaning of acting, which is not just a superficial display, but a communication of the soul.

She encouraged him that the road of acting is like forging iron, which requires constant self-improvement to become more resilient and not be worn away by time.

When she suggested that Wang Hedi needed to practice Mandarin more, her tone was full of sincerity and expectation.

She knows that in this industry, the expressiveness of language is equally important, as it can enhance the realism of the character and bring the actress closer to the audience.

Her eyes were firm, as if telling him that this was the only way for him to achieve a higher level of performance.

Wang Hedi nodded in response, his eyes revealing his gratitude for Song Dandan's guidance and his determination for his future acting career.

The air was filled with an atmosphere of harmony and progress between teachers and students. The two figures cast long shadows in the sunlight outside the bedroom, as if foreshadowing that they will go further and higher in their future acting careers.

Song Dandan and Zhang Guoli were concentrating on imparting their rich acting experience to Li Cheng, Meng Ziyi, Wang Hedi and Wang Chuanjun.

In this cozy bedroom, the lighting is soft and all four walls are covered with various drama posters, as if telling of their past glory.

Li Cheng and Meng Ziyi listened attentively and nodded from time to time, while Wang Hedi and Wang Chuanjun frowned, as if thinking about how to better absorb these valuable performance skills.

Suddenly, a slight knock on the door interrupted the conversation in the room.

Li Cheng stood up and walked towards the door curiously. The moment he pushed the door open, the figures of Lamu Yangzi, Xu Zhisheng, Li Xueqin and Wang Sulong came into view.

With inquiring curiosity, they ask about the activities that are currently taking place.

Song Dandan explained with a smile: "We are guiding Li Cheng and Meng Ziyi's performances. Wang Hedi and Wang Chuanjun are also here to learn."

At this moment, Song Dandan's face was full of satisfaction and pride, as if she was proud of the growth of the next generation of actors. And Zhang Guoli's eyes were shining with wisdom, and his calm temperament made people respect his performance art.

Li Cheng, Meng Ziyi, Wang Hedi and Wang Chuanjun nodded to their old friend one after another, conveying the tacit understanding and respect between the actors.

Li Xueqin and Lamu Yangzi stood in the corner of the bedroom, with a hint of annoyance in their eyes.

Xu Zhisheng and Wang Sulong stood beside them respectively. Although they had no expression on their faces, the tight corners of their mouths still revealed a little loss in their hearts.

Not far away, Song Dandan and Zhang Guoli were sitting around a small table, having a cordial conversation with Li Cheng, Meng Ziyi, Wang Chuanjun and Wang Hedi, sharing their rich acting experience.

In between the conversations, bursts of knowing laughter could be heard from time to time. It was a kind of tacit understanding that only those who had gone through multiple rounds of stage polishing could understand.

Li Xueqin and Lamu Yangzi looked at each other, their eyes full of regret.

They know how rare such an opportunity is.

Every word of the old artists may contain valuable inspiration and skills, which is like a guiding light for young people like them who are still groping on the road of art.

They felt an urge to go over and join that small circle. Even if they were just listening, they would still gain a lot.

But the reality is cruel, they are late.

This point in time seemed like fate's arrangement, leaving them only able to wander around the periphery, listening to the words floating in the air but unable to feel the weight of them up close.

They begin to blame themselves, wondering why they didn't get up a little earlier and why they didn't seize every possible opportunity to learn.

Now, they could only stand there in silence, trying to catch a spark of wisdom from the open window.

Song Dandan's eyes fell on Li Xueqin and Lamu Yangzi, as well as Wang Sulong and Xu Zhisheng, who seemed to be standing there somewhat awkwardly.

She smiled and waved, indicating that they should not be so reserved and should find a seat and sit down.

Li Xueqin's acting skills are a topic she has always wanted to discuss. She was not able to discuss it in detail before due to being busy. Now that she has the opportunity, she is determined to discuss it in depth with Li Xueqin.

Lamu Yangzi and Zhang Guoli began to give guidance and answer her questions. They hoped that Lamu Yangzi could let go of herself and not hold back.

In such an atmosphere, everyone's emotions seemed particularly full. Li Xueqin's eyes revealed a hint of anticipation and nervousness, while Lamu Yangzi seemed a little hesitant. Wang Sulong and Xu Zhisheng listened attentively, exchanging glances from time to time.

The whole scene seemed to be surrounded by a subtle tension, and everyone's face was filled with respect for art and love for performance.

There was a quiet yet lively atmosphere in the air, as if everyone's heartbeat was beating in the same rhythm.

Song Dandan's voice is gentle but firm, and her words are full of encouragement and expectation, as if they can touch everyone's deepest desires and dreams.

Song Dandan's voice echoed in the bedroom. Her eyes were focused and full of wisdom, as if they could see straight into the depths of Li Xueqin's soul.

Every word she spoke seemed to have been refined through thousands of trials and tribulations, and carried unquestionable authority.

Li Xueqin listened attentively, her face full of seriousness and desire.

Li Cheng, Meng Ziyi, Wang Hedi and Wang Chuanjun next to them kept a certain distance, but all listened to every word of Song Dandan with an attitude of eagerness to absorb knowledge.

Their eyes revealed their eager desire to improve their acting skills; even subtle performance techniques were enough to move them.

Wang Sulong sat in the corner. Although his gaze was not as direct as those of other actors, his attentive ears revealed his inner desire.

As a singer, he felt an unprecedented challenge and temptation in this atmosphere full of performing arts.

He knew that even if it was not for acting, this knowledge would enrich his stage performance.

There was an atmosphere of learning in the air, and everyone was like a sponge, desperately absorbing the wisdom of Song Dandan, the master of performance.

The soft lighting in the room created a warm yet tense atmosphere, and everyone was silently working hard in their own position, hoping to become a stronger member in this ocean of performances.

Song Dandan looked around, and young faces flashed before her eyes one by one.

She knew that she had imparted as much experience as possible, just like sowing seeds in their hearts, but whether these seeds could thrive would still require the test of time and their efforts.

She smiled, with a hint of kindness in her eyes. These young people were the fruits of her hard work and the continuation of her hope.

"Remember," she said softly, with unquestionable firmness in her voice, "experience takes time to digest, just like this long night will eventually pass. Your future is in your own hands. Don't rush for success. Behind every success is the accumulation of countless sweat."

Her words echoed in the air, and the young man's eyes were full of respect and determination.

They know that Song Dandan is not only a successful predecessor, but also a trustworthy mentor.

Each of her teachings was like a beacon, guiding them on their respective paths.

"If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to come and see me."

Song Dandan's lips curled up slightly, her eyes gentle but firm. "I am always here, watching you move towards glory step by step."

Zhang Guoli's eyes were firm and serious. He stared at Song Dandan, as if he wanted to read something from her every subtle expression.

His voice was steady and powerful. "Children, I can see that you have a strong interest and talent in acting. I want to tell you that no matter where your acting career leads you in the future, if you have any questions or need help, you can come to me. I am willing to share my experience and knowledge without reservation."

Song Dandan was slightly stunned, and then a moved smile appeared on her face.

She knew Zhang Guoli's status and influence in the entertainment industry, and it was undoubtedly a rare opportunity for these children to get his recognition and guidance.

She nodded gently, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Guoli, thank you for your encouragement and support for the children. I believe they will work hard and live up to your expectations of them." (End of this chapter)
