Chapter 2 First Try
After a while, Xiao Yao saw another door in the classroom open, and more than a dozen candidates rushed out of the classroom, obviously the previous group had finished the exam. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info their faces have different expressions, obviously feeling good and bad about their performance.
Xiao Yao's door in front of their group also quickly opened, and a young teaching assistant in his thirties greeted the invigilator who led the team, and the invigilator walked into the examination room with Xiao Yao and his group of ten people.
After ten people entered the venue, they lined up and stood against one side of the wall, waiting for the call of the examiner.
The atmosphere inside the examination room was even more tense than outside, and the several chief examiners and deputy examiners sitting behind a desk all had serious expressions on their faces, and even the several teaching assistants around them were expressionless, completely lacking the relaxed and active atmosphere in art schools. As soon as I entered the hall and felt this tense and serious atmosphere, the expressions on the faces of several candidates who were already nervous enough outside were even more nervous.
The chief examiner sitting in the middle is named Chen Xiao, who is in his forties, and he is also a middle-aged actor who often appears on TV screens, and his popularity is not low. At this time, he did not rush to call the number, but first swept the ten candidates standing against the wall with scrutinizing eyes, and observed their expressions and states. In addition to physical conditions and professional skills, psychological quality and ability to withstand pressure are also within the scope of the teachers' inspection.
The expressions of the ten people were basically more or less nervous. But this is also normal, for these candidates, this exam is very important for them, it is strange not to be nervous, what matters is the performance of the candidates in a nervous state. At least in Chen Xiao's opinion, none of these ten people were so nervous that they trembled or showed obvious body stiffness. Wait a minute... I saw that one of the boys behaved obviously different from the others, not only did he not feel nervous, but fortunately he took off the hat and black-rimmed glasses he was wearing, and raised his hand to stroke his hair that was slightly flattened by the hat.
"It's kind of interesting, and there are people who can adjust their image after entering the examination room. Chen Xiao's attention was also attracted by the boy, and said in his heart. But after seeing the boy's appearance clearly, Chen Xiao's eyes showed a hint of abruptness. As a star like Sun Zhihao, who is not only a teacher in school to teach and educate people, but also quite active in the entertainment industry, Chen Xiao recognized the young man who is now quite famous in the entertainment industry at a glance.
Chen Xiao knew that Ye Jiaying graduated from the Performance Department of Huaxia Drama Academy, and also knew that Sun Zhihao, who taught in the Performance Department of Yenching Film Academy, had a good relationship with Xiao Yao's family, so she was a little surprised that Xiao Yao appeared in the examination room of the Performance Department of Shencheng Drama Academy, but this is not the time to solve the doubts in her heart. The performance department only has one day to take the test, and there are seventy or eighty groups of candidates in each examination room, so the time given to a group of ten candidates is only a few minutes, and on average, the time that each candidate can get is less than one minute, and the time is very tight.
"I'm the examiner in this exam room today. Chen Xiao suppressed the curiosity in her heart, and after a brief introduction to herself, she directly announced today's exam rules and questions to the candidates. "There are two contents of today's exam, which are line excerpt performance and impromptu group sketch performance. Excerpts of lines are self-selected, and improvisational group sketches are our propositions. The first thing to do is the line performance, and the candidates whose names I read below should come out and start your line excerpt performance. ”
"The first one, Chen Wenxin. After the introduction, Chen Xiao directly began to read the name at the top of the stack of registration forms handed over by the assistant teacher in his hand.
"Hello teachers, my name is Chen Wenxin, I am nineteen years old this year, and I am from..."
"Stop," as soon as the girl opened her mouth to say a few words, Chen Xiao waved her hand and interrupted her, "Today is a try, you don't need to introduce yourself, you can name the excerpt of the lines you performed, and then you can start directly." ”
"And the same is true of the people behind you. Chen Xiao swept the other candidates who were still standing against the wall.
"Got it, teacher. The round-faced girl named Chen Wenxin nodded along with the other nine candidates behind her.
"Let's get started. Chen Xiao nodded noncommittally and motioned to the girl.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the excerpt of the lines I performed is a line from Zhao Ji in the TV series "Qin Shi Huang". After the girl's brief introduction, she directly began her line performance.
Hearing this girl's introduction, Xiao Yao and several chief examiners and deputy examiners all frowned slightly. Qin Shi Huang is one of the most famous historical figures in Chinese history, no matter what the world, there must be film and television works based on the life of this character. The world's TV series "Qin Shi Huang" is also a historical drama with high ratings and great influence, and its popularity is undoubted, but this girl is too different from Zhao Ji, the mother of the first emperor in the play, whether in terms of image and temperament, or the voice characteristics she just revealed, and this choice does not sound very suitable.
Sure enough, as soon as the girl read two sentences, she was interrupted by Chen Xiao again.
"That's it. You go back first and wait for the group sketch performance for a while. Chen Xiao didn't raise his head and scratched the registration form in front of him with a pen, picked up the top registration form and put it aside, and then looked at the next registration form and shouted, "Next, Xu Xiaoguang!"
The girl named Chen Wenxin was a little surprised when she heard Chen Xiao's words, and there was a trace of panic and unwillingness in her eyes, but she didn't say anything, and obediently retreated to the original position against the wall and stood up again.
A boy whose name was called by Chen Xiao walked up to several examiners, bowed slightly, and said, "Hello teachers, the excerpt of the lines I performed is a modern poem, called "Birds and Fish". This Xu Xiaoguang remembered what Chen Xiao had just said, so he didn't say any nonsense about introducing himself after going up, and after greeting several teachers, he directly reported the names of his line excerpts.
As soon as this introduction came out, Chen Xiao subconsciously glanced at Xiao Yao in the candidate team, and then looked at the boy in front of him with some surprise. Xiao Yao looked at the boy's back with some surprise, "When will this poem of mine become an alternative for candidates to prepare line excerpts?" Xiao Yao thought unexpectedly in his heart.
"The farthest distance in the world is not the same as the world......" The boy was overjoyed after seeing Chen Xiao's glance at Xiao Yao, and then looking at the surprise in his eyes, and forced himself to hold back his pride in his own wit, and began to read it. He believed that he would not be like the girl in front of him, who was stopped by the examiner in front of him after only two sentences.
"Stop!" As a result, the boy named Xu Xiaoguang only read three sentences, and was shouted to stop by the chief examiner Chen Xiao. "Be smart," Chen Xiao, who saw through Xu Xiaoguang's thoughts, commented slightly, but this evaluation didn't seem to be finished, and it was completely impossible to tell whether it was praising or depreciating from the tone. When Xu Xiaoguang was made by Chen Xiao to wait for the next article, Chen Xiao directly lost the following text.
"Next, Le Anqi!" Chen Xiao scratched Xu Xiaoguang's registration form in front of him, picked it up and put it aside, looked at the third registration form and shouted.
The boy named Xu Xiaoguang turned around and walked back with a worried face, and subconsciously glanced at Xiao Yao's location on the way. It's just that at this glance, Xiao Yao also couldn't see the meaning in his eyes.
One by one, the candidates were called in turn to perform the excerpts of the lines, but they basically stopped after reading a few words before Chen Xiao stopped, and then directly began to call the next one.
Just three minutes later, in front of Xiao Yao, there were already eight candidates who had finished performing excerpts of their lines, and now only Xiao Yao and the girl with an alien feeling he had peeked at outside.
Although Yenching Film Academy and Shencheng Drama Academy are not the same school, this kind of film and television school has also figured out a lot of ideas and practices during the exam, so before the exam, Zhao Rui, who has also experienced the professional examination of the acting department and has been in the Yenching Film Academy for a year, also introduced some situations and rules of the professional examination of the acting department to Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao once heard Zhao Rui say that during the first examination of the acting department, the average time for each candidate to perform his lines was only twenty or thirty seconds. The teachers who serve as the main examiners are very professional, usually you can hear the basic skills of your lines in two or three sentences, and although the content of the first test is line performances and group sketches, the main test is still the appearance and on-the-spot reaction, so in order to save time, they usually listen to a few sentences and directly shout to stop and call the next one. If any candidate can get the examiner to listen to your line performance and sketch performance from beginning to end, then he should be able to pass the first attempt. According to Zhao Rui's statement, there seems to be no one in their group who can be said to have a stable attempt so far.
"Next, Nina Aiyiguli!" When Chen Xiao read the ninth place, he deliberately swapped the positions of the two remaining registration forms in front of him, and called out the name of the girl with an alien feeling next to Xiao Yao.
"It turned out to be a girl from an ethnic minority. When Xiao Yao heard this name, he thought slightly in his heart. Xiao Yao felt that the girl had an alien style, not because she was dressed with the characteristics of Chinese minorities or other ethnic groups, but because the high nose bridge, slightly sunken eye sockets and light gray eyes on her beautiful melon seed face all showed that this girl was not a pure Chinese Han girl.
"Hello teachers, my line excerpt is a Uyghur line from the heroine Ayimni in the movie "Hump". The girl introduced in standard Mandarin.
"Okay, let's get started. Chen Xiao nodded and said.
"@*.......," the girl said.
Xiao Yaohui has a lot of foreign languages and Huaxia dialects, but Kewei is obviously not one of them. Not to mention Xiao Yao, it seems that there is no one in the entire classroom who understands Uyghur. However, although the language is not clear, and you can't hear whether the pronunciation of the words is standard, you can still hear that the girl's voice is very penetrating. Compared with the previous eight candidates, this girl's basic line skills are obviously stronger.
Sure enough, Chen Xiao also listened to seven or eight sentences before waving his hand and shouting to stop, and after shouting to stop, Chen Xiao also gave comments and suggestions with a rare smile: "The voice is very penetrating, and the basic skills are good." However, it is recommended that you change a line in Chinese or English when you try it a second time, if the listener cannot understand the content of the line, the effect will be greatly reduced. ”
"Wow~" Several candidates next to him exclaimed softly. Looking at it like this, this Uyghur-looking girl is determined to give it a try.
"Thank you, teacher, I remembered. Nina Aiyiguli bowed to Chen Xiao again before turning around and walking back to her original position.
Chen Xiao nodded with satisfaction, crossed two checks on Nina Aiyiguli's registration form, and then looked at the last registration form. The teaching assistant next to him also smiled, and the two checks showed that Chen Xiao had now passed Nina Aiyiguli's test. He felt that just a stop for Nina Aiyiguli to go there, even if she didn't do anything, would be enough for her to give her a try. After all, what you try to see is the appearance condition, and this Nina Aiyiguli's appearance and figure are the best so far today.
"Next, Xiao Yao!" Chen Xiao finally reported the last name.
"Wow, that's him!" several candidates exclaimed in their hearts. Affected by the atmosphere in the examination room, the candidates were honestly standing by the wall and waiting, not daring to look left and right. Except for Xu Xiaoguang who took the opportunity to turn around and go back to peek at Xiao Yao, the other candidates didn't have the heart to pay attention to the other candidates at all, so everyone didn't see Xiao Yao's appearance clearly after taking off his hat and glasses. At this time, as the last candidate to be called by the examiner's teacher, he naturally attracted the attention of this group of other candidates who had already completed the first item.
"Hello teachers, the excerpt of the lines I prepared is a lyric called "Worm Flying". Xiao Yao bowed to the teachers and introduced.
"Well, let's start!" Chen Xiao's smile when she said to Nina Aiyiguli just now had completely disappeared, and she said to Xiao Yao with a serious expression.
"The dark sky is low, the bright stars are following, the insects are flying, the insects are flying, who are you missing..."Xiao Yao took a breath and began to read in a thick baritone. As soon as he opened his mouth, the audience was shocked.
The basic skills of lines include several aspects such as sound, words, sound, and breath. Although Xiao Yao has not studied acting with Xiao Chengru, he has followed him to learn professional vocal exercises since he was a child. Zhengyin, pronunciation, vocalization, and qi have been studied and practiced for more than ten years, although they are not practiced every day like practicing martial arts, but after such a long period of accumulation, Xiao Yao's basic skills are no worse than those undergraduate graduates of the acting department of film and television schools.
When Xiao Yao participated in Sun Zhihao's drama at the age of eight, he could already let the entire theater hear his voice without wearing a headset, and now ten years later, his skills have naturally increased unabated.
For a while, Xiao Yao's voice seemed to echo in the entire classroom. Although it is a nursery rhyme song that everyone was familiar with more than ten years ago, everyone can easily hear the feelings in the lyrics from Xiao Yao's voice. In this regard, other candidates also had to say a word in their hearts.
Chen Xiao's serious expression gradually disappeared, and he once again showed a rather appreciative smile. Unlike Nina Ayiguli before, this time, until Xiao Yao finished reading the lyrics of the whole song, Chen Xiao didn't shout "Stop!"
After Xiao Yao finished reading, he bowed slightly and signaled to the examiners, quietly waiting for Chen Xiao's comments.
"Great!" Chen Xiao said to Xiao Yao with a smile, "If you can pass this exam and successfully enter our Shenxi, I really hope that you will be placed in my class and become my student." ”
