Full-time actor

Chapter 143 [142] Something big is going to happen in the drama!

"Teacher Chang!"

Chen Yu spoke respectfully to Chang Li. Chang Li was wearing a pair of reading glasses. When she saw Chen Yu coming over, she raised her head with a smile on her face and was about to speak, but her expression... suddenly froze there.

Chen Sicheng also looked at Chen Yu curiously.

"What are you-"

"What kind of look?"

Chang Li also made a joke and pointed at Chen Yu with a smile.

"I took on a more challenging role, that of a coal miner!"

Chen Yu explained, and Chen Sili immediately squinted his eyes. The current Chen Gou was not as greasy as in his previous life, but his eyes did look pretty.

To be honest, regardless of his character, appearance, etc., Chen Sicheng's ability is actually...not good.

What he is good at is his operation.

Although the films he directed, produced, and even wrote, many people said he was very talented and the films were box-office hits.

But in fact, if you study carefully, you will find that he is very good at copying and buying.

He bought the copyrights of good foreign film and television dramas, and then released them in China. With the popularity, he made money.

This is the most awesome thing about him - his ability to operate.

Movies like "Detective Chinatown", "Manslaughter", "The Vanishing Man", etc. are all based on this routine.

And it is foreseeable that this routine will be very popular in China.

Because China’s population base is there.

"Is it more challenging than your previous role as a gangster boss?"

Chang Li knew that Chen Yu played the lead role in "Conquest". Shi Zhaoqi told her that this drama was adapted from real events.

"Well, it's mainly because of the image difficulty!"

The appearance of a coal miner is much more difficult to shape than that of Black Boss.

In fact, it won't be a big problem for Black Boss to get a haircut, get a tattoo, gain some weight, etc., and then rely on makeup and acting.

But for workers, the first thing is the hands.

Your hands are different from others. Chen Yu is practicing "Iron Sand Palm" every day to prevent the enlargement and deformation of his fingers, as well as the coal dust inside his fingernails.

Secondly, it is the form.

The way he walks is also different from other people's. Because he often works in the mines, his spine must be deformed.

Finally, it is the state.

Your condition should be like that of a coal digger.

Of course, the skin color of the lines and so on are also important, but compared to the above three points, it is actually the easiest for Chen Yu.

Hands, body, and state are what Chen Yu has been accustomed to and into.

Especially the hands and condition.

He will definitely have to change his body after a few days of military training.

"I really saw you right!"

"You can abandon your image for the sake of the role. Even if school starts, you still come like this. I really deserve you, Chen Yu!"

Chang Li didn't have any objection to Chen Yu's appearance, but was full of appreciation.

Chang Li even feels more and more now that recruiting him into the Chinese drama was the most correct decision she made two months ago.

An actor who is not afraid to try any role is the kind of student China Drama needs.

And because of Chen Yu's participation, many wavering candidates also switched to the embrace of China Drama.

The enrollment was much better than Chang Li expected.

So this time, China National Drama is preparing to hold a proper opening ceremony to completely reverse the negative impact of the Huang Dingyu incident.

Chang Li came to Chen Yulai just for this matter.

"That's right!"

"Chen Yu, prepare a speech. At the opening ceremony the day after tomorrow, you have to speak on stage as a representative of the new students!"

"???"

Chang Li's words made Chen Yu blink.

Freshman representative, come on stage to speak?

Somewhat confused.

Because Chen Yu has never done this since he was a child, because he is a scumbag... and is not worthy.

"Oh, this is senior Chen Sicheng. He also wants to speak as a student representative!"

Chang Li pointed at Chen Sicheng, who had been silent beside her, and Chen Yu quickly greeted him: "Hello, Senior Chen!"

"Hello, junior, we are still the same family!"

"This time, the leaders of China Drama Theater have decided to hold a grand opening ceremony. Many people will be invited to attend, not only graduated alumni, but also many related leaders!"

"So, I don't care if you find someone to write this speech or whatever, it must be done well!"

"Did you hear that?"

Chang Li said to the two people very seriously. Chen Yu and Chen Sili stood up straight: "I heard it!"

"Before you speak, please give me the text of your speech to review first!"

"That's it!"

Chang Li added that Chen Yu was actually very depressed. He had never written about this before!

"Chen Yu, you got perfect marks in the college entrance examination. The school leaders are looking forward to your speech!"

"..."

Chang Li's words made Chen Yu regret it. Why did he get full marks in the college entrance examination? Wasn't this causing trouble for himself?

Chen Sicheng next to him was stunned. He actually didn't know Chen Yu, but looking at the way Chang Li treated him, it was clear that she cared for him very much. He actually got full marks in the college entrance examination essay, which was quite good!

"Okay, you go back and get ready!"

Chang Li began to issue an eviction order. Chen Yu was just about to tell Chang Li that he had something to say, but Chen Sicheng on the side was very knowledgeable: "Junior, please add your contact information. Can we discuss the speech?"

Let me talk about your sister!

What is there to discuss in the speech?

"You've already taken on the drama, that's awesome!"

Chen Sicheng held the mobile phone, and Chen Yu had no choice but to give his own mobile phone number; but in his heart, he was thinking that he would have to ask Ji Qiannan to set up a private number for him. The current number was a bit too many for human relations.

"Let's talk back, junior!"

Chen Sicheng got Chen Yu's number, patted his shoulder politely, and showed his signature "bright" smile.

Seeing that Chen Yu had no intention of leaving, he turned and walked out of the office.

"Teacher Chang, is this Senior Chen very powerful?" Chen Yu asked indirectly.

"Well, among the senior graduates, he is pretty good. He acted in a movie this year. Several of our teachers have discussed it and he is very likely to win an award!"

Chang Li said, but Chen Yu didn't expect that Chen Gou was already so strong even before he graduated from acting?

No wonder he can be the valedictorian.

"Which one? Is it released?"

"not yet!"

Chang Li suddenly smiled: "Are you looking for something from me?"

I'm asking here and there.

"It can't be hidden from Teacher Chang's eyes!"

"I just want to take leave after military training!"

""Dragon Babu"? Oh, no..."

Chang Li looked at Chen Yu's image and it was obvious that he was not playing Duan Yu: "Are there any other scenes?"

"Yeah, so maybe...this semester is a bit on hold, and there isn't much time for classes!"

"The first semester of freshman year is more important. In principle, you can't ask for leave, but you can be special!"

"What about the rest?"

Chen Yu mainly wanted to ask this. When Chang Li heard this, there was no reason why he didn't know: "Are you asking for Liu Yifei?"

"Her mother, she asked me to ask!"

Chen Yu immediately changed his story, which could easily lead to misunderstanding, and said that her mother would be fine.

"She needs to take acting classes, otherwise how can she improve her performance? But she is the leading female lead in "Dragon", right?"

"Yes!"

"She can find a classmate to record her daily classes for her, but she cannot teach them to anyone else!"

Chang Li looked at Chen Yu and said seriously: "Every month in China Drama, every student and every course will be assessed. There are three chances for the assessment. If you fail the assessment, you will be expelled!"

"You also have to take the exam. Although I gave you a back door so that you don't have to come to class, but you can't complete the exam, I can't help you!"

"understand?"

What Chang Li said was actually very clear. Chen Yu nodded immediately: "I understand!"

"If you pass the monthly assessment, I don't care about the rest; if you don't pass, you will either come back to class or... drop out of school!"

Chang Li may have felt that what she said was a bit too much, so she softened her tone slightly and said, "Chen Yu, you have to know that China Theater and Nortel are still different!"

"A lot of eyes are watching, especially after what happened before!"

"If you can still pass the assessment based on your monthly acting experience, then other students will definitely have nothing to say!"

"I can also give an explanation to the school leaders, right?"

"Yes!"

Chen Yu nodded: "I understand, Teacher Chang, I will make time to study every day!"

"Actually, I don't think it's a big problem with you!"

Chang Li smiled slightly: "Because I understand your performance, body shape, and lines, etc., your filming is actually part of your practice, right?"

"But Liu Yifei, if she doesn't work hard, she will definitely fail the test. Even if she performs on the set every day, the courses and filming are different!"

"Fake, I can approve it, but I can't help her with the assessment after the class starts!"

"Go back and have a talk with her mother!"

"It's definitely better if she can come to class. She has been accepted into "Dragon" and she is still the female lead. This is an opportunity for her to negotiate with the crew to see if there is any better way; after filming this film, she will study Chinese drama hard. If you perform, there will only be more opportunities in the future!”

"What do you think, Chen Yu?"

"That's for sure, I'll tell her mother right away!"

"Okay, is there anything else?"

Chang Li really regarded Chen Yu as her beloved disciple, that's why she spoke so earnestly; any other student would have been kicked out by her long ago.

Chang Li's temper is notoriously strict in the industry.

In fact, in every art school, including Nortel, China Drama, and even Shanghai Drama, good acting teachers will give preferential treatment to outstanding students, and even take extra care of them.

Students are still different from students.

Take Chen Sicheng just now, if it were not for his mentor, he would have been killed long ago.

There is Li Xuetong in the south and Chang Li in the north. They are two star teachers in the entertainment industry.

Chen Sicheng’s mentor was Li Xuetong.

This person is the head of the acting department of the Shanghai Opera. He has taught half the world in other entertainment circles, and Cui Xinqing of Nortel is even worse.

The ratio is almost Chang Li 3 Li Xuetong 2.5 Cui Xinqing 1.5, and other teachers.

Li Xuetong's students included Hu Ge, Han Xue, Nie Yuan, Hao Lei, Yu Hewei... basically all the graduates who went to theater were taught by him.

Chen Sicheng was originally a theater actor, and he and Zhao Junqi were even classmates at Xie Jin Art School.

But because this guy got into a fight, he was directly fired from the theater; Li Xuetong sold his face, and it took him 2 years to get Chen Sicheng qualified for the Chinese Theater Arts Examination.

In the end, he ranked first in the art exam and was admitted to the Chinese Theater Academy.

The one who helped him get through the back door was Huang Dingyu.

If it had been anyone else, would Li Xuetong have taken care of this matter?

Certainly not.

The same is true for Chang Li now.

It was Chen Yu who asked, so she patiently explained the method to him. Of course Chen Yu understood it very well.

"No more, Teacher Chang!"

Chen Yu bowed respectfully to Chang Li, and Chang Li immediately said: "Don't forget your speech, prepare it carefully for me!"

"must!"

Chen Yu said solemnly, but actually he felt very unsure.

Unexpectedly, Chang Li was very optimistic about him: "Show me as soon as you finish writing!"

"..."

At this moment, Chen Yu misses ChatGPT so much!

If you have that thing, do you still need to write it yourself?

"Have you never written a speech?"

"How about asking Liu Yifei to write an article for me?"

I risked my life to ask questions for you, shouldn't you express your gratitude?
