50. The use of lazy skills
When Xia Wei contacted Shen Bing again, it was on the second night, probably when she had just finished a day's work and had not yet started working overtime. Shen Bing received her call and ran out of the dormitory in three steps and two steps, as happy as if he was ten years younger.
"Here!" Shen Bing ran in front of Xia Wei and saluted.
The sun has just set, and the sky is still a little warm red, and there will be a little wind at this time. Xia Wei's long hair covered half of her face in the breeze and covered half of her exhaustion. She raised her eyebrows at Shen Bing, which made Shen Bing look stupid.
"What are you looking at? Come with me. Xia Wei glanced at her and led the way in front.
This is Shen Bing's first day as an artist under her, and while walking, Xia Wei explained to her: "I don't know what your current background is, so I need to ask the teacher to identify it first, so that I can know how to start a class for you." β
That's it, a class with a tuition fee of 20,000 yuan per subject. As soon as Shen Bing thought of the price, he couldn't help but be respectful.
Xia Wei took her to the training building, a teacher who Shen Bing had not come, and when she entered, the teacher was already waiting. Surprisingly, the teacher is a blonde and blue-eyed foreign big sister. Xia Wei seemed to be very familiar with this big sister, and said hello hastily, Shen Bing heard Xia Wei call the foreign sister "Brownie", and the foreigner called Xia Wei's name "Wei".
It turns out that this is her English name, no, it should be said, she doesn't have an English name, it's just a transliteration.
Xia Wei pulled Shen Bing over and introduced him in English: "She is Shen Bing"
"So, that's the one you have your eye on." The foreign sister nodded at Shen Bing meaningfully.
Xia Wei heard this, and his expression was very subtle. Brownie uses the term "takefancyto" for the word "fancy", a phrase that is more often used for the love of men and women. But if Xia Wei said something to object, it seemed that he couldn't make a joke.
However, this qiΔ seemed meaningless to Shen Bing, who was in danger of even the fourth level. She just wants to ask, whatareyou what do you say?!
Xia Wei looked at her and found that she was smirking and nodding, so she had an ominous premonition in her heart. She sued Shen Bing, an art teacher hired by the Tang Dynasty for several years, Brownie Sphinx. Shen Bing still understands the etiquette of meeting for the first time, although her current English level is equivalent to that of a junior high school graduate, but of course it is no problem to have the courage to say hello.
βHello! Mynameis Shen Bing, andmyenglishnameisFashionBing."
Xia Wei especially wanted to kick her out.
Miss Sphinx laughed a few times, looked at her figure, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that the acceptance of the word Fashion as a name was not so low, and it was quite a match for her. She continued to ask in English, "Miss Shen, how old are you this year?" "Although age is taboo in the West, it is necessary to investigate and evaluate the next steps, and then how to arrange the course.
You must know that English was the most hated subject when Shen Bing was a student, and she has been in a state of mental tension now, and when she heard "Howoldareyou", she immediately reflexed: "I-mfine, thank you. Andyouβ
Xia Wei: "......"
Miss Sphinx: "...... Well, though, I'm asking your age. β
Shen Bing was suddenly confused, why didn't you say it earlier when you can speak Chinese!
For the next hour or so, Xia Wei watched from the side. For a 24-year-old young woman who had been an idol seven years ago and had no acting training, Miss Sphink's expectations were: good dancing and singing skills, but weak film and television acting and stage performances, and zero line skills. In fact, Shen Bing is quite different from her expectations.
She has basically not practiced dance in the past seven years, her flexibility has decreased very strictly, the lower fork is no longer possible, and it has become a little difficult to bend down with the music. As for vocal music, she was not the lead singer back then, but the rap part of the song was taken care of by her, and she had not practiced vocal in the past few years, so although she was not out of tune or out of rhythm, all the vocal methods she learned back then have been returned to the teacher.
"So, I'm going to be an actor now, so why do I need to train my body and voice?" On the way back, Shen Bing complained to Xia Wei.
Xia Wei looked at the list in his hand and said, "Now many students who have graduated from dance academies come to be actors, what do you think is the reason?" People are good-looking, especially in martial arts scenes, and the beauty of the actions they make is different. As for the vocal music, it complements the lines. β
In fact, Xia Wei was quite satisfied with Shen Bing's identification results. In terms of film and television performances, she saw Shen Bing's live performance, which has improved compared to a few years ago. When a person excludes the utilitarian factor and learns only for the sake of learning, he will make rapid progress faster than others. In the past few years, Shen Bing has been practicing this law in the film and television city.
Xia Weiwei observed her directly and found that she was self-taught in acting and knew how to put it away. Many new-generation actors still can't make their acting skills very natural after years of grinding, most of which is because they can't be retracted freely, and once it exceeds a degree, this deviation will be magnified by the lens. This skill is not something that can be mastered by simply understanding the role, it must be experienced. And what Shen Bing has experienced so far is probably not even comparable to some people who have passed the years.
This is Shen Bing's pain, but at the same time, it has also become her wealth.
"Starting tomorrow, you're going to take four courses. Physical, vocal music, lines, and performance theory classes. In addition, I will talk to Su Chun and let her be responsible for teaching you English. β
Shen Bing swallowed, "I don't think English is necessary." β
Xia Wei turned around and knocked her on the head with a rolled up list, "In the future, you will have to contact foreigners." β
Why should I come into contact with crooked nuts! Shen Bing roared in his heart, but after thinking about it, Xia Wei seemed to have said something quite important.
She boldly guessed: "Dear Mr. Xia, you don't want me to go to Hollywood, do you?" You're expecting too much from me. I'm going to nest in my Greater China, and I'll be unaccustomed to it when I go out. β
It's embarrassing to say that this little pursuit!
"At your level, how can I have the face to take you out to meet people in the future!"
Shen Bing covered his face, "This means that you will often take me to see big scenes in the future?" β
Xia Wei was so angry that he knocked her again, "English must be learned." I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, and I'll check you out when I get back. β
"Don't keep knocking me like this, like a child." Shen Bing dodged, and then suddenly realized: "You are ...... Let's go? "After the reunion, the number of days they have seen each other can be counted on two hands, and she is leaving.
For a moment, Xia Wei felt that Shen Bing looked like a Labrador. She smiled, "Call me directly if you have any questions." β
In this way, Xia Wei left, and before leaving, he arranged Shen Bing's timetable to Su Chun. Artist training is also directly under the jurisdiction of the brokerage company, if Shen Bing is made to be the same as Jiang Lihua, as a transfer student, he will inevitably not be able to escape Tang Xiangzhou's surveillance. Therefore, Xia Wei invited her two teachers in the university, plus Miss Sphinx, to give her one-on-one training.
According to the schedule, every morning at seven o'clock, Shen Bing had to go out under Su Chun's urging and go to the first training. The plan of the day is in the morning, and the first class Xia Wei arranged for her is usually a performance theory class that requires note-taking. On the first day of class, Shen Bing didn't wake up, and taking a theory class was like eating white and black - eating black tablets during the day and sleeping soundly. After all, it was one-on-one training, and every time she pulled her head down, Xia Wei's former teacher would pull her hair and pull her head up, and then see Shen Bing's face rolling her eyes.
Two hours, nightmares.
At the end of class, the teacher, who was so angry that his liver trembled, made a long-distance call to Xia Wei. Shen Bing listened to the phone on the other side, Xia Wei's voice of apology again and again, and the guilt was like a surging river. So, she forcibly invited the teacher, who was over 50 years old, to a big meal.
During the banquet, Shen Bing was dedicated to his hospitality, and the teacher couldn't stand it anymore, so he put down his chopsticks sternly and said to her: "You young people, don't always think about this kind of crooked and evil way. β
Shen Bing's eyes were full of tears, and he said to the teacher, "Teacher, I don't mean anything else. It's not that I don't want to work hard, it's that I really don't have the slightest talent in theory. You can scold me as much as you want, you can beat me, I just beg you, really, can you stop calling Mr. Xia......" She began to shed tears as she spoke, and the tears were connected in a string, and three napkins had been used up while talking, but there was no intention of stopping.
The teacher originally just wanted to teach a lesson, but he couldn't imagine that this girl was so fragile, so he hurriedly helped her draw a tissue, "You kid, what are you crying about, I didn't say much about you!" β
Shen Bing ended up blowing his nose by drawing paper, choked up and said, "I'll tell you something, don't dislike Mr. Xia." You may also know that we Mr. Xia like women. In fact...... I'm her girlfriend. β
The teacher was so shocked that his chopsticks almost fell to the ground. But seeing the pretty girl in front of him crying into a flower face, his eyebrows twitched, and he was also distressed.
Shen Bing cried and asked, "Do you also think that I am poor, stupid and not good-looking, and not worthy of her?!" Or is it ...... You don't like homosexuality? β
The teacher could only say: "Girl, don't be presumptuous, you are a good match for Xia Wei." Besides, I've seen this kind of thing a lot, Xia Wei is my favorite student, how could I dislike her because of this? You go on to say. β
Shen Bing nodded gratefully, "Only she wants to hold me." That's why I hired such a good teacher for me. I thank you very much, but ...... I'm really not this material, I can't learn theories, I can't memorize books, I can only perform! She began to cry again in grief, and it was easy to stop before she said, "Only she is so busy, and she has to help me apologize to you, I really ...... Teacher, please, you can beat me in the future, don't let her worry about it anymore, okay? β
The teacher looked at her and felt sad, although the sound of "Wei Wei" made people get goosebumps, but the girl in love didn't feel numb. Seeing her so considerate of Xia Wei, the teacher couldn't bear it, so he sighed, "But, I'm a teacher, you can't learn, and you can't." β
Shen Bingti snorted and said, "Teacher, do you think that being a good actor is more important in theory or practice?" β
The teacher said, "You young people, you always ignore the importance of theory. β
Speaking of this, Shen Bing's tears poured out like a again, and he said while crying, "IβI know...... I can only let Wei lose and disappoint...... IβI can only act! β
The teacher hurriedly persuaded her again: "But, this ...... If you really do it really well, then practice is still more important than theory. Our line of work, after all, is not just on paper. β
Shen Bing nodded, "Teacher, I can't let Wei Wei down, or starting tomorrow, don't teach me theory, teach me practice!" β
"But, if you can't theoretically do it, what about the actual performance level?"
Shen Bing wiped his tears and smiled at the teacher, "Teacher, I'm sorry, I'm not Mr. Xia's girlfriend." What do you think of my acting skills now? β
Teacher: "......"
That night, Shen Bing was in a particularly good mood. The teacher of the theory class not only promised her to call for as little theoretical knowledge as possible in the future, but also expressed appreciation for her acting skills. Shen Bing told the teacher about his four-year experience of group performance, which made the teacher feel that this is a child who loves acting and has the heart to study. Theory, everyone has their own strengths, so don't ask too much.
Shen Bing sent the great god away, and when he jumped back to the dormitory, he saw Su Chun patting the empty sofa beside her with a solemn expression. Jiang Lihua on the other side was still nibbling on the cucumber, looking at her gloating and laughing.
Shen Bing had a sense of foreboding.
Su Chun waited for her to sit beside her, slapped an English textbook on her lap, and pushed her glasses: "Starting today, I will teach you a unit of grammar every night, and then you will have to memorize twenty words." I'll test you the next morning. β
Shen Bing smiled dryly and hugged her shoulder, "I said Chun'er, since you taught me English, I am not afraid to pay the tuition fee." Don't, don't be so serious, can you? β
Su Chun became more serious, "Xia Wei said, if you don't study well when she comes back, you will quit me directly." β
Goddess, you are ruthless!
