I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 22 Being targeted
Chen Jin gently bent down, with his waist and back naturally straight and slightly curved.

His hands had slowly climbed up to the face of the "corpse", and he bent his middle finger in a very professional motion, performing gentle massaging movements on the slightly stiff face, skillfully and rhythmically.

At the same time, his expression was focused and deep.

Chen Jin stared closely at the "corpse" in front of him, as if he was completing the most sacred ritual.

At this moment, the most impressive scene in his dream last night appeared in his mind.

scoff!

The paper-thin blade gently slid over the clay, and the originally rough facial model instantly revealed a smooth base.

"Chen Jin"'s eyes were focused, his breathing was slow, and he looked at the skull of the female corpse in front of him with extreme seriousness, for fear of disturbing the carving knife in his hand.

Snapped--

After cutting out the rudimentary shape of the face, he picked up a small spatula and carefully and slowly outlined it along the bridge of the nose, eye sockets and other parts.

The exquisite facial features and expressions suddenly restored the smashed face to its proper three-dimensional feel.

A very classy and beautiful face.

More than ten minutes ago, this face had an intimate free fall with the ground at a height of 30 meters.

The makeup pen in "Chen Jin's" hand, with thin lines running smoothly from the tip of the pen, her yellow face suddenly became radiant.

Skin texture, eyelashes, eyeliner... As the lines deepened and increased, the face of the female corpse gradually became more and more like a real person, and with the makeup skills of "Chen Jin", it became more and more perfect.

The deceased was a female star who jumped to her death.

So Chen Jin actually understood her family's wish that she be buried beautifully.

Touching the eyes, trimming the nose, opening the mouth, straightening the head shape... each step of the burial process was well displayed in front of everyone.

"..."

There was no sound in the entire examination room, and it was even a little chilly. Although the examination door was closed, it felt like there was a draft blowing through, making Jiang Wenli and other teachers feel very cold in their hearts.

Cold sweat was dripping from their temples.

It’s been 5 minutes. Chen Jin performed for a full 5 minutes.

No moment is repeated.

Not to mention the art exam teachers, even the art exam candidates who had just finished their performances had already figured out what Chen Jin was doing.

It was like he was doing makeup, massage and plastic surgery on a dead person.

Because he acted too realistically.

Even though many people in the audience had never seen the actual process of a mortician, they had heard of or seen the process of restoring the dead, just like Chen Jin in front of them.

More importantly, many students... have seen the Japanese film "Departures," which won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film last year!
So they know more about this business than others.

A few teachers will make it clearer.

So what Chen Jin was performing was not a doctor at all, but a mortician!

If this is true, then everything he does after washing his hands is understandable.

The "corpse" in front of him must have met with some accident, which resulted in the need for repair, and Chen Jin was recreating the plastic surgery process of a mortician.

but……

"How can you act so well?!"

Even Jiang Wenli had to sigh, unless... he had actually done this to a dead person.

Otherwise, it was hard for Jiang Wenli to imagine that an 18-year-old art student could perform with such level and details.

Among young actors, no one can perform to this level based on performance alone.

This is only possible if some outstanding actors have experienced the life of an undertaker.

"rest in peace!"

Chen Jin seemed to have completed a process of corpse restoration and bowed to the corpse.

Only then did he put away his tools.

The next second, his expression returned to normal.

The performance is over! Chen Jin looked at the stunned eyes of the people around him in surprise and smiled slightly; Jiang Wenli also reacted at this time and suddenly clapped her hands with a smile.

clap clap clap!
Then all the teachers, including the art exam candidates, applauded.

Chen Jin's performance just now really deserved such applause.

It's so brilliant.

He perfectly acted out the working state of an undertaker. Is there any need to describe the environment he was in?
funeral parlor.

"I just want to ask, have you done this job before?"

Jiang Wenli looked at Chen Jin and couldn't help asking.

"no!"

Chen Jin shook his head. He couldn't lie about something like that, otherwise it would be proven true once checked.

But he had already thought of an excuse: "I watched the movie 'Departures' before and was quite curious about this profession, so I went to watch the corresponding documentary!"

"Then I learned some techniques from a documentary and just performed it?"

Jiang Wenli guessed, and Chen Jin nodded: "Yes, almost!"

"There's another reason—"

Chen Jin scratched his head and smiled slightly: "My father is a doctor!"

"That's it..."

Jiang Wenli understood something immediately, but she continued to clap her hands with a smile: "You acted very well. You can restore it to this state just by watching the documentary. You have a great talent for acting and are very versatile!"

This comment is highly praised and is almost a sincere opinion from Jiang Wenli.

Plasticity is the first choice for all students admitted to the acting department.

The so-called plasticity is the ability of an actor to be shaped.

This is also a way to judge the actor's acting talent.

In the same scene, some actors can perform many details... It's like a piece of iron and a piece of clay, the clay is more plastic than iron.

It's the same with people.

Nowadays, examiners from the three major universities prefer students who are like "blank paper" more and more.

Because some children learn a lot in art exam classes, they have a performance pattern.

For example, sad lines should be said sadly, and angry lines should be said angrily.

It means "the performance is too emotional."

It will be very difficult for teachers to teach such children.

Because you have already formed a pattern, your thinking inertia has been formed and has been molded into a piece of iron. Even if you want to change, you have to discard what you have learned before. This is a somewhat long process.

On the contrary, many people who have only studied acting for a few days or even have never studied acting have their own understanding of acting and are easily guided.

If you do what the teachers say and add your own understanding to it, the teacher will think that you are very malleable.

In Jiang Wenli's opinion, Chen Jin's ability to act like this just by watching documentaries is a strong proof of his plasticity.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Chen Jin smiled politely.

"Alright, leave in order!"

After Jiang Wenli finished speaking, she looked at the registration form of Chen Jin in front of her and remembered the name Chen Jin and the mobile phone number on it.

For such students, there is no need to worry about not being able to get into the Central Academy of Drama.

The best way is to let the agency intercept it in advance!

Her agent, Chang Jihong, known as "Sister Hong", is one of the four famous agents in Beijing and is preparing to open an agency.

Jiang Wenli's heart... was slightly moved.
