Tong Liyu is a supernumerary member of the dance troupe, not an official member, and the salary is relatively low, and the life in the capital is too expensive, and she can't support herself with the salary of the dance troupe, so she will go to a restaurant opened by a fellow villager to dance Xinjiang dance in the evening.

She has to train during the day and dance at night, she is very busy, and she only appears when she eats dinner, of course, she always calls Cheng Peng when she eats dinner.

Although Cheng Peng was a little embarrassed, he couldn't refuse, because the instant noodles were too unpalatable, and the dishes she cooked tasted too good.

waited until more than ten days later, on a rare Saturday, Tong Liyu finally asked Cheng Peng about acting.

Cheng Peng breathed a sigh of relief, Bai Shi could finally continue to eat, and he made up his mind in his heart that he must teach her well and let her be admitted to the acting department with the best grades.

It is not an easy task to be admitted to the Chinese opera and film academy, there are five or six thousand students who apply for the examination every year, and only one of the more than 100 people can be admitted, the competition is very large, even if the acting experience is not necessarily admitted, Wang Shasha, the actor of Mo Xiaobei in "Wulin Gaiden", failed to be admitted to the film academy, and finally went to the theater.

However, Cheng Peng was full of confidence in this, and analyzed Tong Liyu in detail. The content of the professional examination of the performance department includes four aspects: voice, stage, shape and table, the voice is vocal music, and the main test is singing; The shape is the body, the main test is dance, the stage is the lines, and the main test is recitation; The table is a performance, and the main test is a sketch. Tong Liyu is a native of Xinjiang, and there is no problem with singing and dancing, but the recitation is a little weaker, which needs to be strengthened, but there are indeed more problems with performance.

Tong Liyu has never learned acting, so she can only start with the most basic training, Cheng Peng took her to a nearby shopping mall and taught her to observe characters.

Chinese opera and film academies will allow students to go to places where people gather, or places with characteristics to observe characters, such as stations, airports, shopping malls, hospitals, etc., which is called observing life and character sketching.

Observing life is mainly to observe the dress of the characters, the props and decorations on the characters, the postures and actions of the characters, the demeanor and emotions of the characters, the relationship between the characters, the speech and so on.

Cheng Peng asked Tong Liyu to observe the dress of the characters first, because people's clothing can not only reflect the changes of the seasons, but also reflect the ethnicity, region, occupation, status, hobbies and so on. In addition, the costume can also reflect the character's surname, mental outlook, and inner emotional changes.

Tong Liyu is a very talented girl, after practicing for a while, as long as Cheng Peng points to a person, she can describe the other party's clothing and decoration very accurately.

Cheng Peng felt that he could carry out the later training: "Let's practice observing the posture and behavior of the characters. This is extremely important for actors, because everyone stands, sits, walks, and walks with characteristics. For example, dancers, farmers, intellectuals, and soldiers all have different postures, and they all have the habitual movements brought about by their professions, and we must show these movements when performing. Now you look closely and see if you can see the occupation. ”

Tong Liyu has been observing for a while, and she really doesn't see whose occupation it is, so she is a little skeptical: "You can see your occupation by your actions, how is this possible?" ”

Cheng Peng saw that Tong Liyu didn't believe it, so he decided to find a typical example to explain, and when he looked up, he saw a mother and daughter walking this way. The mother doesn't have any obvious characteristics, but the daughter is more typical, the girl is sixteen or seventeen years old, although it is just a simple T-shirt and denim dress, but with a pure and noble temperament.

His eyes lit up, a smile appeared on his face, and he pointed to the mother and daughter and said, "I can't see what the mother is doing, but that girl must be practicing ballet." ”

Tong Liyu stared at the girl left and right, and couldn't tell that it was ballet, so she asked suspiciously: "Really, how did you see it?" ”

Cheng Peng didn't explain, and said with a faint smile: "Of course it's true, if you don't believe it, you go and ask, that girl must be dancing ballet." If I'm wrong, I'll have a treat in the evening, and you can just ask for what you want to eat. ”

Tong Liyu looked at Cheng Peng, and then at the girl, but still didn't believe it: "It's decided, you are not allowed to lie in the skin, if you lose, you will invite me to eat McDonald's!" ”

"Of course, I'm talking about it, I don't believe you to ask."

It's not a fortune teller, how can this be seen! Tong Liyu felt that she had won, stood up, walked to the girl's side, and said, "I'm sorry, can you bother?" ”

The mother and daughter looked at her and said puzzledly, "What's the matter?" ”

Tong Liyu looked at the girl in front of her, and felt that although this girl was not as beautiful as herself, she was very good-looking, more good-looking, and had a very good temperament: "I want to ask, are you a ballet?" ”

The girl was a little surprised: "Yes, how do you know?" ”

Tong Liyu's eyes widened, she really danced ballet, how could this be? glanced back at Cheng Peng, then at the girl, still feeling a little incredulous: "Are you really dancing ballet?" ”

The girl replied in the affirmative: "Of course it's true, I'm a ballet major at the Dance Academy, is there any problem?" ”

Tong Liyu felt that it was incredible, pointed at Cheng Peng, and then briefly talked about what happened.

Both the girl and her mother felt that this was a little incredible, and the girl looked at Cheng Peng even more curiously, and saw a handsome man of twenty-three or four-year-old smiling and nodding at her. That smile is like the sunshine in the afternoon in spring, which makes people's hearts warm, her face is not red, but she really has never seen this man, if she has seen it, she will definitely not forget, and said to Tong Liyu with a smile: "Your friend is amazing!" ”

"How can this guy tell? Forget it, I won't bother, thank you, goodbye! ”

Tong Liyu waved his hand to the mother and daughter, returned to Cheng Peng's side, and looked him up and down, back and forth, as if to see his heart through his glasses.

It's just that the dark eyes, as deep as the moonless night sky, are so deep that they can attract people's hearts, she was a little embarrassed, lowered her head, raised it again, and asked, "How do you see it?" ”

Of course, Cheng Peng would not tell Tong Liyu that he knew this girl and was a big star in the future, and explained with a smile: "That girl is tall and has a very good temperament, she looks like she has practiced dancing, but she has a little bit of a figure when she walks." Dance training pays a lot of attention to manners and elegant manners, how can it be a foreign figure? The biggest one is probably ballet. Because opening is the most important basic skill of a ballet dancer, everyone must practice, so ballet dancers basically have a bit of an outerpace. ”

Although Tong Liyu is studying folk dance, she has also heard of the characteristics of ballet, but the girl's outer eight characters are lighter, she didn't pay much attention to it, and after listening to Cheng Peng's analysis at this moment, she suddenly realized: "So so, she is a little bit of a foreign eight, but it is relatively light, so I didn't think about it." ”

……

The next morning, Cheng Peng and the others changed to a shopping mall to observe, but they did not continue to observe in the afternoon, because it was not enough to observe, and the purpose of observation was to perform.

The professional examination of the performance department is divided into three tests, each of which is a compulsory content, and the topics of the sketches are some fragments of life, such as the bus station in the light rain, a ticket seller at the train station, the savings house, etc., the shopping mall is a content that is often tested, which is also a reason why Cheng Peng took Tong Liyu to the shopping mall.

"Now give you five minutes, you prepare a one-man sketch, the performance time is three minutes, the content is related to the mall, start preparing now."

Five minutes later, Cheng Peng clapped his hands and said, "It's time, let's start the performance now!" ”

Tong Liyu performed when visiting the mall, because the salesperson had a bad attitude, the two clashed, which was a small episode that the two saw with their own eyes in the mall. Tong Liyu grasped the body and language of the characters, vividly showing the fierceness of the characters, and looked full of joy.

Cheng Peng applauded Tong Liyu, and there was a sense of joy in the teacher's heart to see the progress of the students, and praised: "The performance is good, you have all the expressions of your performance now." Now the only thing is not a lack of emotion, the character is relatively empty, and you need to experience the emotion of this character. ”

"What's the problem?"

"Before the performance, you have to have a clear idea in your mind, what are you doing in the mall, what is your purpose? In the same way, although the salesperson does not appear, she must also exist in your heart, what are her lines, and what does she say about you? You call her an idiot, how she responds, what you think in your heart after hearing what she says. Another point to pay special attention to is that a normal person's emotions must have a process from calm to outburst, just like a movie has a beginning, substitution, and development, ** such a process, emotions are progressive and gradually developed, and when we talk about performance, we often talk about layering, and that's what we talk about. ”

"I see, I'll revise it and do it all over again."

Tong Liyu thought about it for a while, and then performed again, this time Tong Liyu's performance was much better than the previous one, of course, there was still a problem, Cheng Peng pointed out the problem, and then asked her to re-enact, then correct it again, and repeat it again.

After many revisions and performances, Cheng Peng felt satisfied, so he asked Tong Liyu to play with another content.

After playing several characters, Cheng Peng decided to change a difficult topic: "Very good, now I will give you a topic for you to play, the topic is to accompany your girlfriend to the mall." ”

"Ah, playing a man?"

"Why can't you act? To be an actor, you have to learn to play a variety of roles, men, women, the elderly, children, and even animals, and the basic training of acting includes the imitation of animals. ”

"Hmph, I didn't say I couldn't act, didn't I just play a man, it's hard to be a smart girl! I'm sure I'll be able to do it well! ”

……

After practicing until almost six o'clock, Tong Liyu was about to cook dinner, only to remember that the food was gone, and decided to go to the supermarket to buy vegetables, and Cheng Peng also planned to buy something, so the two went downstairs together.

When passing by the video store, Cheng Peng suddenly heard a familiar melody and a familiar voice, which was the "Myth" he sang, and he couldn't help laughing.

It seems that Mythology has really caught on, and it's time for the next step.
