I'm unbeatable at extracting skills from celebrities!

"Teacher He, you've wronged me."

"I'm speaking Mandarin now, listen, that's what I'm saying now!"

Last night, I diligently memorized the 150-word long script that you had the class monitor distribute to everyone. If you don't believe me, I'll recite it for you right now.

"But when I deliver my lines, I just can't follow the rhythm of a stage play. As soon as I do, I immediately slip up."

...

"Ha ha…"

After getting dressed and washing up in the dormitory, the 30 boys and girls from Class 93 couldn't help but laugh when they went to the basketball court in front of the dormitory building for their morning class.

Having trained at the school for three years, with 12 dialogue classes every week and an extra hour of intensive training every morning, senior students at the Central Academy of Drama have long since developed muscle memory for reciting lines.

Just like boxers fighting each other in the ring, sometimes it's not the head that directs the fists, but the fists that react instinctively.

Wang Xuebing told the class teacher, He Bingzhu, "I always stumble over my words during acting lessons..."

This isn't making excuses; it's insulting an old professor's intelligence.

Sure enough, He Bingzhu, who already had a bit of a temper, couldn't hold back any longer. She raised the pointer in her hand and whipped his buttocks.

"hiss…"

Watching that scene from afar, Li Naiwen, Tang Xu, Zhu Yuanyuan, and Jiang Nan all felt pain at the same time.

"Hey... Zhu Yuanyuan, what are you doing in our boys' group?"

According to the arrangements made at last night's class meeting, the 93rd class will have morning classes downstairs, divided into two camps: boys and girls.

However, Zhu Yuanyuan, who had been unanimously nominated as the class beauty by the boys last night while drinking, was now brazenly standing in the boys' camp.

She was next to Jiangnan on her left, Li Naiwen on her right, and Tang Xu standing in front of her, providing her with emotional support.

Tang Xu's buttocks were a bit perky, and she couldn't resist giving him a light kick with her foot.

"Oh, I don't consider you guys as boys, and you don't need to consider me as a girl."

Damn it...

Upon hearing the beautiful woman's explanation, Li Naiwen and Tang Xu both pretended to fall over, while Jiang Nan couldn't help but chuckle.

  

Zhu Yuanyuan has always been like this. She dislikes the affectation of girls and has a boyish personality. She is quite forthright in her dealings with people. Like in her previous life, as soon as she received her paycheck, she would definitely take Li Naiwen and Tang Xu out to eat.

Unfortunately, Jiangnan had already dropped out of the Central Academy of Drama by then.

Just then, the homeroom teacher, Gao Jingwen, walked in from outside the school.

Good morning, teacher!

Good morning, students!

Glancing at He Bingzhu, who was physically punishing students not far away, Gao Jingwen responded to his classmates with a smile and began to speak.

"Let me introduce you all. This is Xu Ping, our 93 Acting Class teacher!"

Mr. Xu Ping joined the dialogue teaching and research office in 90 and has rich teaching experience. From today onwards, he will be spending every day with our class.

As Gao Jingwen spoke, everyone noticed that a man in his thirties, wearing glasses and with a refined demeanor, had already come down from the fourth floor of the dormitory building.

"Hello everyone, I'm Xu Ping. From today onwards, we're friends. What will my lecture cover?"

This includes basic stage language skills, pronunciation, monologues, character portrayal, microphone language, and so on.

Of course, I will also be responsible for leading the whole class in vocal exercises every morning.

"Slap slap slap..."

The applause was enthusiastic; all the students who had just entered the university campus applauded warmly. The reason was simple: showing enthusiasm in front of the acting teacher and getting noticed by him would bring great benefits.

Maybe they'll let me off the hook a little during the spot checks.

Sometimes, things just happen that strangely.

The 30 students in Class 93 were all scheming, hoping to receive help from their acting teacher, Xu Ping, in the future.

Today, this guy took care of everything.

"This is my first time meeting everyone, and I don't know how good your basic skills are yet. Let me get to know you through today's morning class."

Each person should prepare a short script or a short text, about 150 to 200 words, and recite it in front of me and Teacher Gao.

Pay attention to mastering the rhythm and breath control…

"what!"

"It starts on day one!"

"I don't know anything yet!"

"I wasn't prepared at all when someone brought a newspaper or magazine."

Before Xu Ping could finish speaking, a small commotion broke out among the students of the 93 Performance Class.

"Cough cough cough..."

The reason why the homeroom teacher, Gao Jingwen, came today was to keep order. As soon as he coughed, the students in front of him immediately fell silent.

"Jiangnan!"

"arrive!"

Having just finished military training, Jiangnan's muscles still retain the memories of that time.

"You should come out and set an example for everyone."

"yes!"

Jiang Nan agreed, stepped out of the line, stood in front of all the students, faced them, and slowly began to speak:

"I worked hard pulling the cart and saved every penny, just to save up enough money to buy my own cart and live a stable life."

Seeing the students from the Class of '93 acting class testing their basic acting skills, the students and teachers from the Classes of '92, '91, and '90 acting classes, who were training together on the basketball court, all looked over in this direction.

No other meaning intended!

I just wanted to see what the excitement was like...

I just wanted to see what kind of jokes these students who had just come up from high school and knew nothing would make.

But as soon as Jiang Nan opened his mouth, the room fell silent.

The mid and low frequencies are clean, full, free of noise, and have a weak nasal tone, which are the natural characteristics of the Jiangnan region.

But fate repeatedly trampled me into the mud, shattering my hopes time and time again.

I've lived an honest life and never harmed anyone, so why won't the world give me a way to survive...?

Gao Jingwen stared in disbelief at Jiangnan, who was taking a line test.

This kid has a very wide range of control over his speaking speed. He can talk about everyday things or deliver long, epic monologues. He is naturally suited to both the restrained, controlled, and explosive types of characters.

What's even more remarkable is that Jiang Nan's performance of this monologue from the play "Camel Xiangzi" is nuanced in its emotional layers, with smooth transitions between real and imagined voices, continuous breath control throughout the long passages, and a gradual build-up of emotions, transitioning exceptionally smoothly from restraint to an outburst of anger.

Tsk tsk tsk…

I feel like I've struck gold!

Jiangnan hasn't even started formal classes yet, but his delivery of lines already surpasses that of senior students.

Just as Gao Jingwen thought of "senior students," a scream came from the ranks of the 90 class of academic students.

"what!"

"Wang Xuebing, I'll teach you a lesson for not learning good things. Look at the freshmen of Class of '93, they haven't even started classes yet, and their acting skills are already better than yours."

※※※※※※※※※※※

Jiang Wen arrived quite early!

He arrived at the entrance of the Central Academy of Drama at 6:30 in the morning.

There was no other way; if I wanted to show my sincerity, I had to come early so that Teacher Gao Jingwen could see how polite his student was!

Filming for the movie "In the Heat of the Sun" began on August 31st, and now, a full 13 days have passed.

But what?

There wasn't a single usable scene, but a lot of film was used up.

The reason is simple: the male lead, Xia Yu, is a complete amateur. He is just an ordinary high school student from Qingdao No. 13 Middle School with no acting experience whatsoever.

Even after a month of intensive training in Beijing, they still couldn't meet the requirements.

Then, Jiang Wen thought of his mentor, Gao Jingwen.

Back when Gong Li was filming "Red Sorghum", "The Story of Qiu Ju" and "Raise the Red Lantern", Gao Jingwen was her on-set instructor.

Since he could guide Gong Li to become an international film queen, there was no reason why Xia Yu, whom he had high hopes for, should not become a talent.

With this in mind, Jiang Wen greeted the gatekeeper, Lao Qin, and as soon as he stepped into the campus, he witnessed such a magical scene.

"The male students in the Class of '93, who hadn't even had formal classes, were already quite proficient in delivering lines."

On the other hand, a certain male student from the 90 acting class was implicated and, because of him, was caught by the short-tempered teacher, Mr. He, and given a severe beating.
