I, who advocate giving up, feel like a disqualified person

Hey, if you say this kind of thing to the director or screenwriter on set, forget about your lunch.

"Well... I'm just guiding you, I have no obligation..." Before I finished speaking, Lingcan suddenly spoke.

"What are you afraid of? You are fearless. Have you forgotten?"

No, no, no, I’m afraid of many things.

"Come on, perform with me. Show it to them." As he spoke, his eyes radiated a strong fighting spirit.

"Well...can you remember your lines?" I tried to make a final effort.

"No problem. I was particularly interested in this plot when I read the script just now, so I wrote it down."

Is your memory so good?! I can hardly believe it...

"Well, let's just give it a try. Everyone agrees."

"That's it."

Shut up, two actors with poor acting skills!

"Okay..." Although not very willingly.

"Everyone come and see! The juniors are going to show off their acting skills!" Someone suddenly shouted, and everyone in the club stopped what they were doing and gathered around.

Who just said that? I'll put you in a bleeding state.

"That... Ling Shen." I said and looked at her.

"What's wrong?"

He had a nonchalant expression, as if no one was watching him.

"It's okay. Even Ling Shen isn't nervous, so why should I be nervous? It's about to begin."

"Come on, I can't wait."

Humph, time to show some real acting.

【True Title】

Shine brightly in front of everyone!

Talent and hard work

If you think about it seriously and carefully.

Showing off your acting skills doesn't seem that complicated, right? In fact, everyone demonstrates acting skills to some degree in their daily lives.

Well, this is also a kind of fake.

Acting skills are actually indispensable, because if a person is too naive, he will be easily seen through. If the person who sees through him is a person with bad intentions, he will be in a disadvantageous position.

And acting skills can also help you avoid trouble as much as possible.

For example, if you see that the number on the caller ID belongs to someone you don’t want to contact, you can just ignore it and then explain that you didn’t see it when that person asks about it.

Or if someone invites you to a party you don’t want to go, you can pretend to be very sorry and say that you have other plans.

For example, if someone you don't like confesses their love to you, you can pretend not to hear them. If they understand, they'll walk away. But if they repeat it again, you can act nonchalant and say something like, "What? Stop joking!" They'll probably understand. But if they're particularly slow to react and say something like, "No, you're not kidding," or "I'm serious," you can feign regret and say, "Sorry, I already have someone I like," even though you might not. You can even add, "You're a good person," even if you don't really feel that way.

This is the acting in life. However, because I feel a little perfunctory towards others, I am easily disliked. If my acting in life is too superb, I will be called hypocritical.

However, if it is on stage, people with excellent acting skills often receive a lot of praise. It has nothing to do with appearance, as not all people with excellent acting skills are handsome.

The soul of an actor lies in his acting skills. If an actor only has a pretty face but his acting skills make the audience lose interest every minute, then he cannot be called an actor...well, at least he cannot be called a qualified actor.

As I understand it, if you want to play a role well, the most important thing is to become that character and fully immerse yourself in the role.

The essence of acting is to forget that you are acting.

Regarding this, Lingcan, who is obsessed with his own settings all day long, seems to be quite good at it.

Chapter 19: Talent and Hard Work

"Okay, let's perform this scene." I pointed to that part of the script and said to Ling Can.

"No problem." Ling Can showed a proud expression after hearing this.

"Then... let's begin."

The guy watching the fun nearby acted as the narrator.

.............................

On a normal night like this, the army would have been singing songs from their hometown to celebrate the victory of the battle.

However, tonight, instead of a cheerful atmosphere, there was a terrifying silence in the army.

I sat in my tent, my brow furrowed unconsciously, thinking back to my days of conquering the lands. Every time I conquered, I was victorious. In terms of military prowess, no one in the world could match me. But now, I was trapped in this place by the enemy...

"Oh." I couldn't help but sigh, but I couldn't express the sadness in my heart.

Singing? How could there be songs from home? They couldn't possibly be in the mood to sing... Are they prisoners in the enemy camp? ...It seems so... The singing coming from all directions... It seems like many of my "army" have been captured...

"Your Majesty..."

Suddenly, a sweet voice sounded behind me. If it had been before... no, if it had been a few days ago, I would have answered her with a smile when I heard the voice of the person I love the most. But now...

"Haven't you gone to bed yet?"

Came her concerned voice.

"You too..." I looked back at her...

"I heard singing..." She looked a little sad, "It's because of our..." She looked at my expression, as if she understood something, "So that's how it is..."

"..." I was silent and didn't say anything.

"My strength is as great as that of a mountain, my spirit is as unmatched as that of the world..." I sang this sentence according to the melody echoing in my mind at that moment, as if telling the story of my life.

"Time is not favorable and the horse will not leave..."

........................

"Alright, alright, stop it."

Senior sister Lu Yunzi clapped her hands to stop Ling Can and I from acting like a drama.

"Ah...what's wrong? Did I act badly..." I suddenly felt my face getting hot.

"It's not bad...how should I put it..." Senior Sister Lu Yunzi showed a helpless look on her face, "You two come here."

"Oh well..."

Lingcan and I smiled at the people around us and quickly followed the senior out of the activity room.

...................

"Senior, we...that..." Lingcan seemed a little excited.

"It's okay. I didn't say your performance was bad...it was more like your performance was too good..." His expression relaxed as he spoke, "That's why I called you out."

"Huh? Didn't you say..." Ling Can seemed a little confused.

"Actually, the members of these clubs are all people who love performing, so they have very high aspirations for acting..."

"That's right, why do we have to stop? Isn't this a good opportunity to teach them?"

No...that's not the case.

In their eyes, we are just idlers, but the two of us who don’t usually perform have better acting skills than them. Wouldn’t they feel uncomfortable? For example, it’s like playing a game and meeting an opponent who uses the same character as you, but you can’t beat him.

"That wouldn't be teaching... Well, it was a pretty good performance anyway. Do you usually participate in any performance activities?"

Senior Lu Yunzi asked her with interest.

"Of course." Ling Can said proudly.

I don't think she'll be participating in any serious performance activities... maybe it's role-playing or something like that?

"Well, first of all, thank you for the demonstration on behalf of us club members, but let them study and experience the specific performance techniques on their own."

"That's true. It's useless for us to just demonstrate. It's better to let them figure it out on their own."

I echoed this.

"Well... okay then..." Although Ling Can was a little unhappy, he still accepted our proposal.

...................

Some things in this world are very unreasonable.

For example, some people who pick up a paintbrush for the first time are almost the same as those who have been painting for several months.

Some people just have better voices than the guys who are taking vocal lessons.

Some people can write a more amazing story on their first try than someone who has been writing scripts for years.

Although some things become more proficient if you do them more, some people put in a lot of effort to do things well, while others can do them just as well with very little effort.

Talent is the biggest mockery of hard work.

Anyone, even me, would feel very unhappy or even depressed when being surpassed by others in an area that I am good at.

Therefore, when people interact with each other, hurt is inevitable. The closer the relationship, the more understanding there is, the more comparisons there are, and then we discover where we are inferior to the other person, which only adds to the hurt.

Well, speaking of being hurt, the one who hurt me the most was Ye Jin... Compared to a loser like me, he was extremely sensible in front of my parents, and his brain was much smarter than mine.

Even I have to admire her problem-solving skills... and she's way ahead of me in math. She's also very good with languages, and can hold her own against me in my strong subject, Chinese... Remember, I'm older than her...

And this guy seems to have always been targeting me, saying he wants to surpass me... I don't think there's anything I haven't been surpassed by you...

Because I've felt this feeling deeply, I can better understand the feelings of the actors in the drama club... Well, I couldn't help but go up there at the time.

...........................

Lingcan stayed for a while and then felt bored and wanted to go home, so I didn't keep her any longer.

Then he went on to annotate the script.

However...

"What...what happened?" I found that after my performance, the guy who played the male lead was lingering next to me, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated, so I took the initiative to talk to him.

"Ah, it's nothing...it's just...how should I put it, at first I just thought you were bragging, but then I realized I was just too arrogant...Anyway, I'm impressed by your acting skills. If there's anything I'm not good at, please point it out. Please."

"Well...ok...you should work harder too..."

It seems that showing off a little bit would be beneficial.

......................

"Ah... I'm so tired..."

After seeing the familiar Ye Hui, I felt my mood relax all of a sudden, and my words and actions also became relaxed involuntarily.

"After all, you are very busy, Sheji. You must keep working hard."

Ye Hui was very understanding and said some words of encouragement to me... Ah, I'm not tired anymore, I can work for another two hours without any problem!

"By the way... someone came to the Tea Ceremony Club today looking for you, but she left when she saw no one was there, and I didn't have time to ask her name..."

"Huh? Could it be that Yehui is in the Tea Ceremony Club?"

"Ah, this is what Xiaolin asked me to do...but not many people came today." Ye Hui smiled helplessly.

It turns out that Rinquanchuan also asks others for help...

"So... does the person who's looking for me have any obvious characteristics? Male or female?" I asked.

"She's a pretty girl, not very tall... Oh, and her hair is silver-white."

Xiaoye?! It's definitely Xiaoye. What is she doing here? She can't be here to urge me to finish my manuscript, right? I think I've been delaying it for a few days... And I just remembered that I didn't leave her contact information.

"What? Did you remember?" Ye Hui seemed to see my nervousness from my expression.

"Yeah...I guess you have something important to discuss with me."

"Well, it seems that you are really busy, Sheji. But in this case, you should also take care of your health and don't let yourself get too tired." He smiled and said, "You need to be healthy to go home with me after school."

“...Yes...yes.” I couldn’t help scratching my cheek.
