Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, I became a legend in the entertainment industry by avo

As the talisman was activated, a strange power flowed into Zhang Qilin's body.

A cool breeze seeped in from between my eyebrows and quickly spread throughout my brain, as if an icy spring was slowly spreading deep within my consciousness.

He flipped through the notebook quickly.

The complex movement routes and detailed text annotations recorded above are being imprinted into my memory at an incredible speed.

Chen Mo's every step, the timing of Yu Zhen's turn...

They flowed into his memory palace in an orderly fashion, where they were quickly categorized, connected, and solidified.

The memory-accelerating talisman's miraculous power allowed him to quickly memorize content that would normally take him several days to barely remember.

When the initial excitement recedes like the tide, what follows is a clear-headed exhaustion.

That wasn't physical fatigue, but rather the exhaustion resulting from excessive mental exertion.

But in order to develop muscle memory, Zhang Qilin forced himself to get up and walk into the small courtyard outside to simulate the scene in the rehearsal hall.

Following the notes, he walked step by step, muttering to himself, repeatedly practicing the character's movements in different scenes.

Time slipped away quietly amidst the intense practice, and before we knew it, it was already late at night.

Zhang Qilin's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his clothes on the back were soaked with sweat, but he showed no sign of stopping.

He knew that this was his chance to earn equal training opportunities.

If he misses this opportunity, he will be at a complete disadvantage in his competition with Chen Mo.

After several hours of practice, Zhang Qilin finally felt that he had some confidence in his positioning.

He carefully checked the notes again to make sure that no detail was missed.

I checked the time; it was already 11:30.

To prepare for tomorrow's challenges, he washed up and went to rest.

The next day.

5:00

Zhang Qilin pushed open the door to the rehearsal room and saw that teacher Feng Yuanzheng was already inside.

He took out a notebook from his bag and walked up to Feng Yuanzheng:

"Professor Feng, are you free now?"

Feng Yuanzheng smiled and looked at him:

"What's wrong? Is there a problem with the lines?"

"No," Zhang Qilin shook his head. "After the production team for 'Rickshaw Boy' was formed yesterday, the lead actors went over the lines and blocking. Director Gu asked me to do a rehearsal this afternoon."

Feng Yuanzheng was taken aback; he hadn't expected Director Gu to be in such a hurry.

But he quickly came to terms with it, as many people in the department didn't think Zhang Qilin had a good chance of competing for the role.

Director Gu needs to complete the rehearsals for "Rickshaw Boy" and bring it to the stage within a little over a month, so he must quickly find suitable candidates.

Looking at Zhang Qilin, who was standing in front of him with a serious expression, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Then what are your thoughts? Feel free to speak up," Feng Yuanzheng said kindly.

Zhang Qilin said:

"Teacher Feng, I spent some time memorizing the blocking last night, but I'm still worried that my performance might be lacking. I would like to ask you to take a look and tell me what areas need to be adjusted."

As he spoke, he opened the notebook and handed it to Feng Yuanzheng.

Feng Yuanzheng took the notebook and saw that it was covered with various route maps and annotations.

Feng Yuanzheng shook his head inwardly, feeling regretful.

He was well aware of Zhang Qilin's hard work and talent, but the teaching rhythm of drama rehearsals could not be changed by one person.

According to the teaching schedule, these topics will not be covered for another month or two.

This meant that if he wanted to keep up with the production team's pace, he had to work hard and figure things out on his own.

Feng Yuanzheng said while flipping through the notebook:

"I've seen the effort you put into your blocking, it's very solid. So let's move to one side, and you can imagine this is the Xisi Archway Car Factory in old Beijing. I'm Tiger Girl, and I'm also anyone else you need to take on roles with."

"Thank you, teacher."

Zhang Qilin deftly moved a few chairs in the rehearsal room, using them as props for the stage.

Act One: Tiger Girl asks for her share of the car rental fee.

Zhang Qilin strolled onto the stage from between his chairs, and Feng Yuanzheng stepped forward to greet him.

"Hey, Xiao Shunzi, what about yesterday's delivery fee?"

"What kind of car share?" Zhang Qilin dodged backward, looking completely confused.

After saying that, he began to move along the route he remembered, avoiding Tiger Girl's demands for money from the car.

As Feng Yuanzheng cooperated, his eyes followed Zhang Qilin's movements, and his eyes gradually revealed approval.

Zhang Qilin's ability to memorize the entire drama and the lines of so many actors in such a short time is not something that can be achieved through hard work; it requires talent.

As dawn broke, the interns who were doing their morning exercise arrived one after another.

Upon entering, everyone froze in place.

They saw actor Feng Yuanzheng accompanying Zhang Qilin as he rehearsed his lines.

No one spoke; they quietly found seats and sat down, their eyes filled with undisguised envy.

They've been here for over a month and are still doing basic vocal training.

Zhang Qilin is already able to rehearse with the group.

Although they don't want to admit it, the differences between people are really huge.

After the final scene ended, the rehearsal hall was quiet.

Feng Yuanzheng closed his notebook, walked over to Zhang Qilin, and patted him on the shoulder.

His voice sounded exceptionally clear:

"You remember the overall movement framework very well, which is not easy. The biggest problem now is that you are just moving mechanically and haven't fully mastered the basic moves..."

Feng Yuanzheng stopped halfway through his sentence.

He realized that for Zhang Qilin now, the most important thing was to memorize the route and secure opportunities for joint training.

As for how to play the role, that's a matter for later.

What Zhang Qilin needs now is director Gu Wei's approval.

Then, he changed the subject:

"When facing Director Gu and the other actors in the afternoon, if there are any things you can't remember, just remember that you are not the main character. If you can walk diagonally, don't walk in a straight line. If there are tables and chairs on the stage, just stay close to the edges and corners."

"This way, he won't block the other actors' paths. Xiao Shunzi isn't the main character, so his movements shouldn't steal the spotlight, but they should effectively fill the space and bring out the role of the environment."

Zhang Qilin nodded thoughtfully.

"Also," Feng Yuanzheng couldn't help but add a few more words of advice, "your relationships with other people, besides avoiding each other, can also involve tug-of-war and probing. Positioning is flexible, and these are things you'll need to explore later."

Zhang Qilin nodded earnestly:

"I've got it."

Feng Yuanzheng then looked at the other students who were quietly observing:

"You also need to remember that stage presence isn't just about walking; it's about creating a character. When you step on stage, the first thing the audience sees is your walk. You need to use your walk to bring out the character's distinct features so that the audience can immediately recognize who you're playing..."

……

in the afternoon

1:00

Zhang Qilin arrived at the rehearsal hall on the third floor early.

The room was empty, and he practiced his movements alone in the prepared area.

As time went on, the cast and crew arrived one after another.

Some people saw him studying diligently on his own and gave him encouraging smiles.

Some people, however, ignored it and chatted and laughed quietly with acquaintances.

When Chen Mo entered the rehearsal hall, he saw Zhang Qilin practicing his movements alone and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

He first found a seat and sat down, looking at Zhang Qilin as if he was thinking about something.

A moment later, he walked to Zhang Qilin's side:

"Shift this route a little to the left to make room for the lead actor..."

When Zhang Qilin heard the voice, he turned around and saw Chen Mo. He was clearly taken aback.

He never expected that the person who came to give him guidance would be him.
