"What is acting?"
"This question, I'm sure you guys can find a lot of different explanations from books. What they say makes a lot of sense, but I think it's all theoretical nonsense. "
"If you really want me to say it, then I'll tell you that acting is using your acting skills to turn fake into real."
"The more real the performance, the better your acting skills are. On the contrary, if you're acting and people can tell that you're faking it, then unfortunately, your acting skills are terrible. "
Professor Zhang stopped and pointed at Xiao Yunhai and said, "Xiao Yunhai, Zhao Wanqing, you two come on stage."
Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing looked at each other and walked to the podium one after the other.
Acting classes in film school were all like this. It wasn't like high school where students would sit on the bench and study hard for the college entrance exam in three years.
The most important thing in acting class was practice. No matter how good you were in culture class and theory class, if you couldn't act on stage, it would be useless.
"You two were the top two students last semester. I'll give you a question and you two will act it out." Zhang Tianfang thought for a bit and said, "I watched a movie a while ago and there was a plot like this. An ordinary person who was locked up for three days because he participated in underground gambling escaped from the dungeon and ran all the way home. He was tired and hungry and looked for food at home. When his wife came back and saw him, she was shocked. After knowing what happened to him, she told him to report it to the police. However, he was afraid of revenge from the underworld and didn't dare to go. While the two were arguing, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from outside. The two were scared out of their wits. That's it for now. "
"Xiao Yunhai will act as the ordinary person and Zhao Wanqing will act as your wife. I know it shouldn't be hard for you two to act, but I want to increase the difficulty. You can't just say a sentence and act based on your expressions. I'll give you one minute to think about it. "
"Alright, time's up. Begin."
As soon as Professor Zhang finished speaking, Xiao Yunhai's eyes instantly dimmed. The expression on his face was extremely miserable, and his mouth was gasping for air.
He bent over and sneaked into the room. The first thing he did when he entered was to patrol the room, as if he was looking for someone. Unfortunately, he couldn't find it. Xiao Yunhai's eyes revealed a hint of disappointment.
He took a deep breath and looked around the house for something to eat.
At the same time, his eyes were constantly searching and his ears were constantly listening to the movements outside. There was a slight trace of fear and uneasiness on his face. He was afraid that the underworld would come to find him.
Acting to this extent, it could be said that she had vividly portrayed the inner workings of the characters.
All the students were stunned by Xiao Yunhai's performance.
This was too awesome.
Professor Zhang's eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Yunhai's vivid performance.
The Yenching Film Institute's tradition was to let an outstanding teacher guide a good seedling. The teacher would give him special treatment, introduce him to some production teams, or help him smooth out some connections. This was to lay a good foundation for him to enter the entertainment industry.
With Xiao Yunhai's intelligence and eagerness to learn, he was immediately chosen by Yao Wenyuan. Yao Wenyuan was Zhang Tianfang's student.
Therefore, strictly speaking, Xiao Yunhai was his grand disciple.
As the grand master, Zhang Tianfang was naturally very happy that his grand disciple had such superb acting skills.
The person who was most affected by Xiao Yunhai's performance was his opponent, Zhao Wanqing.
The last time she performed with Xiao Yunhai was in March of this year. In just half a year, she felt that Xiao Yunhai seemed to have changed into a different person. Not only could he write songs and sing, but even his acting skills were worlds apart from before.
It wasn't that Xiao Yunhai's acting skills weren't good in the past, but he definitely wasn't as mature and smooth as he was now. He definitely wouldn't have given her as much pressure as he did now.
The powerful aura emanating from Xiao Yunhai immediately ignited Zhao Wanqing's competitive spirit.
Zhao Wanqing borrowed a bag from a girl next to her and made a gesture of taking out a key from the bag. Then, she opened the door and walked in. At the same time, a trace of exhaustion hung on her face, indicating that her working state was not very good.
Xiao Yunhai heard the sound of keys outside the door. His hands, which had just been searching for something in the fridge, suddenly stopped. He looked left and right, but he couldn't find anywhere to hide. He could only stare at the door with a trace of fear and anticipation in his eyes.
Huang Bo saw the change in Xiao Yunhai's eyes and was exceptionally impressed.
His third brother's acting skills had improved tremendously.
He knew that Xiao Yunhai's fear was because he was afraid that it was a gangster who came in, so he was looking forward to seeing his wife.
After Xiao Yunhai saw Zhao Wanqing, his entire person was dumbfounded. His face revealed deep regret, and his lips couldn't help but squirm, but he couldn't say a single word.
Zhao Wanqing went home and opened the door. When she saw her beloved man in ragged clothes and in a sorry state, she was instantly stunned.
Then, the shocked expression on Zhao Wanqing's face was quickly replaced by anger. Obviously, she knew that her husband was out gambling.
She angrily walked over to her husband and was about to speak. However, when she saw the tears of regret on Xiao Yunhai's face, Zhao Wanqing's raised hand suddenly became soft as if it had no bones.
Zhao Wanqing sighed deeply. She turned on the lights and was about to cook for him when Xiao Yunhai pulled her back.
Xiao Yunhai shook his head at her. His eyes were full of worry and fear.
Zhao Wanqing shook her head at him. She picked up her phone from her bag and was about to call the police.
Xiao Yunhai's face revealed a panicked expression. He hurriedly grabbed her hand and shook his head vigorously.
After a few entanglements, Zhao Wanqing was angry. Finally, she couldn't help but slap Xiao Yunhai's face. Then, she ran to the side and covered her face to cry.
Xiao Yunhai walked behind her with a guilty face. He was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, there seemed to be some movement outside. Zhao Wanqing's crying immediately stopped, and she looked at Xiao Yunhai with a panicked expression.
Xiao Yunhai also turned pale with fright, his face instantly becoming deathly pale. He swallowed hard, pulled Zhao Wanqing's hand, and quietly arrived in front of the virtual window, secretly looking out.
According to the plot Zhang Tianfang had given him, the show should be over now. But Zhang Tianfang didn't say it was over.
It was like if the director didn't say cut on the set, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing could only continue acting.
At that moment, the entire classroom was silent. Even Hu Haitao, who didn't get along with Xiao Yunhai, had his eyes wide open as he watched the performance of the two people on stage.
Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing's acting was too realistic. They had successfully brought them into the plot.
Xiao Yunhai seemed to have seen something, and despair appeared on his face.
He turned to look at his beloved wife. His lips trembled, but he didn't say anything. His eyes were filled with guilt, apology, and even a trace of farewell.
Zhao Wanqing seemed to have seen through what her husband wanted to do. She tightly held Xiao Yunhai's hand and shook her head with all her might. Her tears couldn't help but flow down.
At that moment, there was no trace of panic on Xiao Yunhai's face. Although there were tears in his eyes, there was a smile on his face.
He gently wiped away the tears on his wife's face. His eyes were filled with reluctance. Then, he suddenly broke free from his wife's hand and left her crying on the ground. He walked out of the door without looking back.
Zhao Wanqing cried twice. Suddenly, she thought of something. She hurriedly picked up her phone and dialed a number with trembling hands.
Everyone knew that she was going to call the police.
"Okay, stop!"
Zhang Tianfang suddenly woke up. He looked at the golden couple in front of him and thought of their wonderful performance just now. He took the lead in applauding.
This had never happened in his class. Obviously, the performance of the two people had moved him.
The students below the stage were not stingy with their applause. After a full two minutes, they stopped with Zhang Tianfang's hand gesture.
