Full-time actor

Chapter 35 [35] Don’t be afraid of not knowing the goods, just be afraid of comparing goods!

The examiner responsible for the preliminary examination of the Chinese Theater Arts Examination this time is Professor Chang Li, the "treasure of the academy" of Chinese Theater Arts, who is known as the first person to teach in the Chinese Acting Department.

Of course Chen Yu is familiar with this well-known acting teacher in the industry.

Because of her "coffee status", even the three examiners of Nortel's previous preliminary examination had to call her "teacher".

Where is the status in the world!

She has been teaching at China Opera since she graduated in 1965. She has witnessed the growth and rise of China Opera. The current status of the Performance Department is completely inseparable from her existence.

She has taught 90% of the actors who graduated from the Chinese Opera Department and are her students.

She taught a lot of movie kings and movie queens, spanning from the 80s to the 00s!

Since 1990, she has been responsible for the art exam every year.

So Chen Yu was not surprised at all when he saw her sitting in the examiner's seat; what was surprising was that she was not sitting in the middle, but in the next seat, and was one of the four deputy examiners for this preliminary exam!

The other three deputy examiners were very unfamiliar to Chen Yu.

However, the examiner in the middle was a "celebrity", and Chen Yu couldn't help but be startled when he saw him.

Got up early.

This guy is actually still in the show?
  The current head of the performance department of China National Theater is Huang Dingyu, China’s first master of acting!
  Of course, what Lao Huang is most famous for is not his title of "the best person in China", but an incident that caused quite a stir next year.

This man is having a great time with students and parents.

Chen Yu felt that there was a reason why actors who graduated from China Theater Academy during this period often collapsed, and it was a problem left over from history. Of course, Nortel was not much better, but it was certainly not as blatant as this man.

"I should actually be reborn as a paparazzi. I can get rich overnight by collecting the money!"

Looking at the serious director sitting there, Chen Yuzhen had the urge to sign up for a "paparazzi studio" at all costs.

Fortunately, Chen Yu also knew that this was an art exam.

One by one, the students came on stage and introduced themselves, but after the introduction, they were directly gestured by Chang Li before they had time to say many lines.

On the surface, Director Huang is the examiner, but in fact, Chang Li is mainly responsible for the examination.

Director Huang has a higher position than Chang Li, so he is the examiner.

"Next!"

Chang Li put a C on her resume for the exam she just took.

This is the judging mechanism of China Drama, and it is also an internal scoring system to ensure whether you can enter the final re-examination and third examination!
  ABCDE, these are the five scoring levels; 5A, needless to say, will definitely pass, and all five examiners gave the highest score.

Then, by analogy, the 300 students who can enter the final three examinations will be selected according to this score.

In the end, the number of people who passed the third test was slightly more in China Drama than Nortel, about 60.

Nortel has 50 students, but they are divided into undergraduate and junior college students; while China Opera only has undergraduate classes and a total of three acting classes.

"Hello, five judges, I am candidate No. 611 Wen Zhang, from Chang'an, Shaanxi Province. I am 172 centimeters tall and weigh 48 kilograms!"

Quite standard Mandarin, and very layered and rhythmic.

“The lines I’m going to recite next are from the movie Farewell My Concubine!”

"..."

Chen Yu raised his head and looked at Wen Zhang in disbelief.

This guy is really unlucky.

Conflict of topic!
  Because what Chen Yu chose... was also a line from "Farewell My Concubine"!

After all, this is a very famous movie in China, and the main resources are easy to find; the lines required for the Chinese drama can of course be in English, but Chinese is definitely better.

Mainland films are even more bonus points.

There are only a few films that can highlight the lines; "Farewell My Concubine" is definitely unavoidable, and the key examiners are also familiar with it.

Therefore, many art exam training courses will ask candidates to choose this movie.

Don’t seek to be outstanding, but seek to have no faults.

Wen Xing obviously had the same idea, as long as he could pass the preliminary examination.

"what happened?"

Liu Yifei saw Chen Yu's weird look on his face and looked at Wen Zhang seriously.

She admitted that this candidate was somewhat capable, but he didn't have this expression, right?

She asked in a low voice, and Chen Yu made a bumping gesture with his fingers. Liu Yifei, who was taking the art exam, immediately understood: "Conflict on the question?"

After all, this is a very common thing. For example, failure in poetry recitation is the most common occurrence in art exams.

"Ok!"

Chen Yu pretended to sigh helplessly, but Liu Yifei smiled a little: "This candidate's lines are quite good!"

It means you are a little hung up.

"If you want to be noble in front of others, you will definitely suffer in the back~~"

The classic lines in "Farewell My Concubine" were spoken in a cadence by Wen Zhang; I have to say that this guy will be popular in the future, and he does have some ability. The lines are flawed, but he obviously has a solid foundation. The key point is that he also imitated the expression of the old scholar in the movie, which became more and more funny: "Today is just a topic, the article is still to come~~"

"Ok!"

Chang Li immediately gestured to Wen Zhang that it was okay.

"Vocal!"

"start!"

While Chang Li was grading, she signaled Wen Zhang to conduct the second assessment - vocal music!
  The so-called vocal music refers to the pleasant, continuous and rhythmic sound produced by the human vocal cords, combined with the mouth, tongue, and nasal cavity acting on the breath.

So it can be singing, it can be poetry recitation, you can also do crosstalk if you can do it.

As long as it highlights the characteristics of the sound.

Of course Wen Zhang chose singing, which is also the vocal option chosen by 99% of candidates.

About half a minute later, Wen Zhang bowed politely to the five examiners and stepped down from the stage with some pride; of course he was proud, and among so many candidates, his performance was undoubtedly the most outstanding.

Even in the final performance, everyone saw Chang Li's nod.

It shows that she quite approves of Wen Zhang's performance.

"It's your turn, come on!"

Although Liu Yifei said this, why did it sound so gloating in Chen Yu's ears?
  Isn't it just a collision of topics?

Do you think I will lose?

Swish!
  Chen Yu suddenly stood up from the ground and walked to the front of the stage. This move instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Liu Yifei had to admit that Chen Yu's walking posture was very handsome, and he had a particularly melancholic and artistic temperament, which was completely different from the way he usually interacted with him.

Is this a drama?

Or is it acting like this on purpose?
  Liu Yifei thought of a star her mother liked very much - Zun Long.

The way he walks in the movie is very similar to Chen Yu now, as if his whole body is exuding damn charm and male hormones.

A high-end texture hits your face.

"..."

Of course, Wen Zhang also saw Chen Yu who came out right after him. His slightly excited face, which he thought would pass the first test, was suddenly overshadowed by astonishment.

Is there such a handsome guy in this class?

Why didn't I find out before?
  "Hello examiners, I am Chen Yu from Suzhou City, Jiangnan Province. My examination number is No. 612!"

"Height 1 meters and weight 81 kilograms!"

In a leisurely, rhythmic and magnetic tone, as soon as he spoke, the five examiners who had their heads lowered all raised their heads.

Chang Li looked at Chen Yu in front of her with some surprise, and was once again shocked by his appearance.

This candidate is so good!

The lines and body are impeccable.

"This guy, why do I think his voice sounds better than last time?"

Liu Yifei felt her cheeks feel a little hot. Looking at Chen Yu standing there, she found that he on the stage was really completely different from what he was in reality.

In reality, he doesn't look that eye-catching, but on stage, he is the absolute focus.

Almost all the candidates and examiners in the room looked at him!

"The lines I prepared are a short section from "Farewell My Concubine"!"

Chen Yu held his head high and looked at the examiners; Chang Li was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Wen Zhang, who had just stepped down from the stage. All the candidates also followed their gaze and looked at him.

Wen Zhang was very embarrassed. He never thought that Chen Yu would collide with him?
  The key point is that you just hit the topic, and it’s still one step at a time.

Don't be afraid of not knowing the goods, just be afraid of comparing the goods!

Any other person, Wen Zhang, wouldn't pay attention at all, but when Chen Yu introduced himself just now, he... was really killed instantly.

You can actually tell whether a sound is good or not.

The simplest ones are comfortable, magnetic, special, and standard Mandarin... If you are more professional, you will be able to distinguish breath, sentence fragments, rhythm and even articulation.

Wen Zhang was not that professional, but he had to admit that Chen Yu's voice was really good, and his self-introduction was clear and clear, and everyone who listened brightened up.

He doesn't have such strength at all.

Then he said lines from the same movie...

Wen Zhang was already a little annoyed about why he chose "Farewell My Concubine"!

But the next second, when Chen Yu spoke his lines, his brain was instantly blasted to pieces.

All the students present, including the examiner, felt goosebumps all over their bodies.

What Chen Yu said was indeed the lines from "Farewell My Concubine", but what he chose was Peking Opera!
  A section of Peking Opera singing in the movie!
  　Sorry, I'm late...
