Chapter 35 Pretty is basically not the point

Although he was given a make-up fee, Zhang Yuanjun had to pay another price for taking classes during the summer vacation: giving lessons to art candidates.

There are teachers who earn money outside the school, and Zhang Yuanjun promised to give a class to the art candidates.

Zhang Yuanjun was the first in the art exam, Nortel first, Chinese opera second, and military art second, and this score was enough for the younger students to teach.

Zhang Yuanjun does not teach business classes, but lectures on art examination procedures and test-taking skills.

In fact, he knows the skills of a hammer for the exam, he didn't prepare for anything for the exam that year, and the talent show was to write a pair of wild grass "Will Enter the Wine" on the spot, plus reciting calligraphy for ten years to learn ancient poems engraved in his bones, and then he took the first place.

Anyway, he was cheeky and thought so.

But Zhang Yuanjun's name as a grass in Nortel School is still thunderous among art candidates.

His arrival was warmly welcomed by the boys and girls in the class.

Today he was in a large class, and the classroom was crowded with hundreds of students.

Not to mention, there are quite a few "familiar" faces.

Zhang Yuanjun saw a girl sitting in the first row at first sight when he entered the classroom: "Have we met somewhere?" ”

The girl smiled and said, "I also have the impression that we have met." ”

"What's your name?"

"My name is Zhang Jianing."

Zhang Yuanjun remembered: "Teacher Zhang Xiaolong is your uncle, why is it so familiar." ”

"Yes. We've seen it before in Chinese opera. ”

"Isn't your uncle enough to teach you? Still coming to the training class? ”

"My uncle said that his own children could not be taught by themselves."

Zhang Xiaolong is a well-known performance director in China, who lectures on physical form in school, and has a lot of research on etiquette, and he founded the first etiquette guidance team in the mainland film and television industry.

After chatting a few words, Zhang Yuanjun officially started class:

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Yuanjun, today this hour, I will tell you about the process of the art examination and some skills for taking the exam......"

Even though Zhang Yuanjun had prepared for class a few days ago, he was still nervous when he went to the podium for the first time.

made the same mistake as Fang Hongji, the original class time was 60-70 minutes, but he finished the content in 45 minutes.

rubbed his hands together in embarrassment, and laughed dryly twice. Overwhelmed.

Fortunately, the teaching assistant of the institution who accompanied him responded quickly: "The next time is reserved for the students, and you can ask us Teacher Zhang if you have any questions about preparing for the exam." ”

"Ah yes," Zhang Yuanjun grabbed the life-saving straw, "If you have any questions, just ask, I know everything." This classmate. Zhang Yuanjun ordered one casually.

"Teacher Zhang, there are many child stars in the art examination now, or people who have previous acting experience, I want to ask, how do we deal with competing with these people."

This student's question resonated with many people present, and there was a buzz underneath.

Zhang Yuanjun thought for a while and replied, "Your worries are unnecessary.

"First of all, I want to say that people with acting experience are really a plus for participating in the art exam, even if I don't say it, you know it. But I want to correct you a bad idea, that is, you will worry about what to do when I don't act well, what to do if I don't memorize the words well, what to do if my limbs are not coordinated and my body is not good. You're going to worry about that. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Yuanjun's statement was agreed with by almost everyone.

"I'm going to tell you, that's at least 70 percent wrong.

"Everyone must first understand a truth, what is selected for the art examination. Did you choose an actor? Yes and no.

"The art exams are for future actors. The school has its own teaching method and teaching process, and they choose you because of your future potential, and you will not be too normal now. Teachers mainly look at your plasticity, recruit you, how can they teach you, and whether you can learn.

"Moreover, some teachers have quirks, he doesn't like child stars, he will think that you have been trained by others before, and I will spend a lot of time and energy to polish off the traces of your previous performance when I recruit you.

"So, you don't have to worry about competing with child stars, they may not have an advantage over you.

"Again, the art examination teacher has seen more students, what you have to do is to try your best to show your truest self on the spot, so that the teacher can see your potential."

In fact, Zhang Yuanjun still hasn't said a word, many acting teachers especially don't like the students who come out of the training class, in fact, the teacher can see the traces of the training class.

But isn't Zhang Yuanjun taking classes in other people's training classes, you can't dig into other people's old bottoms.

"Okay, next question. This classmate. ”

"Teacher Zhang, what I want to ask is, do you have to be good-looking to be admitted to the acting department?" The question was asked by a slightly chubby boy, "I see that many of my classmates are beautiful. ”

Zhang Yuanjun smiled: "No. I don't know how other schools recruit students, but as far as I know, the enrollment of the acting departments of the film school and the drama school is prepared according to a big play.

In other words, what kind of actor needs to be ugly. You look at "Teahouse", there is a yellow fat man in it, he has to be fat, he can't be beautiful, how good Mr. Tian Chunkui is. There is also Teacher Liang Guanhua, Teacher Liang is fat, but who can say that his play is bad? Teacher Du Xudong is not good-looking, and he doesn't act well?

"An actor can eat for a while with his face, but he can't eat for a lifetime. Being pretty is basically not the point. Or as I said earlier, the art exam is to let the examiner see the potential and plasticity in you, and the teacher with a beautiful face has seen a lot. ”

Zhang Yuanjun answered two more questions, seeing that the time was almost up, the teaching assistant terminated the course in time: "We are here for today's class, I believe that through Senior Zhang's explanation, the students have also gained a lot, let us applaud once again to thank our Senior Zhang for his patient teaching, thank you." ”

The classroom burst into applause.

Zhang Yuanjun thanked him and went back to school after class.

God knows how cool Zhang Yuanjun felt relieved after stepping down.

Zhang Yuanjun's back was wet on the podium.

"It shouldn't be like that again." Talking to Liu Yifei about the experience of class that afternoon, Zhang Yuanjun's heart was still pounding.

"If you don't have the ability, don't learn to teach students." Do adolescent girls like to talk to others?

"How did I know that it was so difficult to teach others, standing on the podium, looking at the black pressure below, my brain felt like I had been beaten by someone, I was confused, blank, and I couldn't hold back a word for a few minutes. I was still dissatisfied with the class, and finally I got through by asking questions freely. ”

As soon as the vocal music teacher Mu Fenglan entered the classroom, he joked to Zhang Yuanjun: "I've heard it all, and it's a good story." ”

"So fast?"

"There's a video of your class, and I just finished watching it." Teacher Mu said with a smile, "'The art exam is to let the examiner see your potential and plasticity', 'Being beautiful is basically not the point', and the words are still one set." Have the potential to be a teacher.

"Why don't you graduate and stay in school and become a teacher."

Zhang Yuanjun told me again and again: "You let me go, I don't know how I said those words." It's all big truths, isn't it to make up for time? ”

"It's a good thing to make up for a long time. You Teacher Wang didn't teach in vain. Wang Jinsong, the head teacher of the 02 form, has been the vice president of the School of Acting for many years, and has been in charge of the art examination, and has been telling them about the art examination in class, "Okay, in today's vocal class, we will talk about the relationship between body language and context in vocal performance." You're almost a junior, so I won't talk about the simple ones, let's just take the classic repertoire and practice and explain it. Today we take a closer look at "South Pacific". ”

It's a classic Broadway musical that almost every acting and musical theater major in the world learns.

"Remember what I said in your first class, don't smoke, drink less, protect your voice, otherwise your voice will be covered, don't rap badly, and you won't even be able to pronounce your own lines.

"Okay, get up, let's watch the clip first."
