[Accidental Mark · Chapter Sixty]
After returning to the artist's apartment that night, Cheng Xia really received a call from his agent Zhou Yan: "Cheng Xia, I'm telling you good news. Tianxuan recently opened a training course specifically for newcomers. I'll report it for you!"
When she saw the notice today, she was very puzzled. The timing of this training class is too coincidental, right? Just before Cheng Xia's audition? If it hadn't been for the training class for all the artists of Tianxuan, she would have mistakenly thought that this was specially organized for Cheng Xia by President Pei.
Upon notification, the agents actively helped their artists sign up, and Zhou Yan also swiftly helped the four newcomers he brought to sign up.
Cheng Xia heard President Pei mentioned this matter this afternoon, and he was mentally prepared. He immediately asked: "Sister Yan, when will the training start?"
"From May 23 to 29, you participated in the audition on June 1, just in time. Go to the class with me tomorrow afternoon and report." She said and sent Cheng Xia a course schedule, saying: "Look first. Let's look at the course arrangement. The teachers invited for this training class are all old drama players in the circle. The seniors give lectures in person, which should be of great help to the newcomers."
Cheng Xia said, "Thank you Sister Yan, I will come to the company to find you at two tomorrow afternoon."
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Xia opened the course schedule and took a look-except for the basic etiquette training, the rest were all acting-related courses. Teacher Cai Yun, who is particularly good at crying, would actually teach them. Teacher Cai is the idol of Cheng Xia's father. Cheng Xia grew up watching her movies and TV series when she was very young. I didn't expect that one day, she would be able to listen to her seniors. Lecture in person.
Cheng Xia excitedly saved the timetable.
Then, he opened the chat window with Pei Shaoze and replaced the green trail photos sent to him by Pei Shaoze as the background of the chat-this is their "first date" place, which is worthy of memory. Immediately afterwards, Cheng Xia conveniently changed the remarks from "President Pei" to "Brother Pei", which would be more cordial.
After setting everything up, Cheng Xia sent a message to Pei Shaoze: "Are you home?"
Pei Shaoze replied: "Just entered the house." He was changing shoes at the door. After seeing the news, he wore slippers and sat down on the sofa in the living room. He typed: "You attacked just now. You kissed me without paying attention?"
Cheng Xia boldly said: "You also kissed me today while I didn't pay attention, I call it "Shy"
Thinking of the beautiful experience of kissing a teenager in the afternoon, Pei Shaoze couldn't help but curled his lips and sent a gentle voice: "I didn't mean to blame you. You can continue to 'apply what you have learned' in the future."
Alpha's voice is deep and sexy. Cheng Xia put his phone in his ear and listened, his cheeks were hot, and he hurriedly changed the subject: "Yes, the agent just notified me of the training. This training class actually invites teacher Cai Yun ,Amazing!"
Speaking of work, Pei Shaoze immediately became serious: "You are only a freshman after all, and you lack experience, and you are still a little immature in acting. This time you study hard. I hope this week's training can help you."
Cheng Xia nodded earnestly: "I understand. Folding paper is just a school drama, and Qin Nian's mood changes are not so intense, but Xu Ziyang is different. I think it will be much more difficult to win the role of Xu Ziyang than Qin Nian."
He paused, and immediately sent a guarantee: "Pei brother, rest assured, I will work hard!"
Pei Shaoze's gaze was fixed on the name "Brother Pei", and a smile appeared in his eyes-no one had ever called him that way. His younger brothers and sisters all call him "brother" directly, and everyone he meets at work will respect him as "President Pei".
Brother Pei, Cheng Xia is the only one who calls him this way, it sounds very kind and pleasant. He liked this feeling and was influenced by Cheng Xia, as if he had also injected some sunshine and vitality into his heart, not as lifeless as before.
Pei Shaoze ended the conversation with "Go to bed early" with a moon expression.
Cheng Xia had another beautiful dream that night.
In the last dream, his birthday would become the wedding scene. Pei Shaoze put a wedding ring on him. At that time, he and Pei Shaoze were not officially together, and the two had not even held hands. Now, after kissing, holding hands, and finally confirming the relationship, Cheng Xia's dream will naturally go further--
He dreamed that he was marked by Pei Shaoze.
The process is quite detailed.
When he woke up, Cheng Xia's entire face was red and bleeding, and he hurried to the bathroom to take a cold shower. If Mr. Pei knew that he was so good at brain and had weird dreams, he would definitely feel that he, this Omega, was not reserved at all, maybe he would laugh at him with thick-skinned...
At 2:30 in the afternoon, Cheng Xia, who had adjusted his mentality, came to the broker's office on time.
Zhou Yan's four newcomers are all here. She glances over the four and patiently exhorts: "This week's training is closed. You will eat and stay at the Ronghua Hotel. The teacher invited by the company will be there. The conference hall on the third floor of the hotel offers classes for everyone. The courses are full every day, which may be more difficult. But the opportunity is rare, everyone must study hard."
The four nodded their heads to express their understanding.
Zhou Yan said, "Bring a few changes of clothes and report with me."
After arriving at the Ronghua Hotel, there were indeed many Tianxuan artists on the scene, most of which were newcomers. This training class was organized by Skyxuan Entertainment at a cost. It is only for its own artists. Newcomers from Group A and Group B can also participate. After seeing Cheng Xia and the others, newcomers from other groups also came to exchange WeChat with them amicably, and Cheng Xia politely added a few friends.
The entertainers' hotel rooms are arranged on the same floor. Cheng Xia puts away his luggage and rests for a while, and then goes to the conference hall on the third floor.
There was a class opening ceremony that evening, Pei Shaoze also came in person and said a few words on the podium. Mr. Pei's speech style is still that simple, clear and clear. Cheng Xia sat in the audience and listened very carefully-this Alpha belongs to him, which makes him so proud.
The eyes of the two faced each other across the crowd, and Cheng Xia immediately showed a bright smile to Pei Ge.
Pei Shaoze also smiled slightly and said: "Well, I don't need to say more about the reason. Acting is the foundation of an actor. I hope everyone will cherish this opportunity arranged by the company and study hard in the next week."
There was thunderous applause in the audience, Cheng Xia clapped and clapped vigorously, and his hands snapped.
There were too many people at the scene, and Pei Shaoze couldn't talk to Cheng Xia alone, so he only sent a sentence on WeChat: "I'll go first, take care of myself."
Cheng Xia replied: "Don't worry!"
In the early morning of the next morning, etiquette-related courses were arranged starting at 8 o'clock. The company invited a professional etiquette team to teach you how to walk on the red carpet, face the posture of reporters during interviews, and stand tall and straight, these are all basics. When interviewed by reporters, where to look and how to smile politely are also skills that need to be mastered as an artist.
After two classes, Cheng Xia has learned how to get out of the two-meter-eight aura.
But what he looks forward to most is the crying opera training class given by Teacher Cai in the afternoon.
In the 90-minute course, Teacher Cai specifically talked about how actors control the crying scene and how to shed tears silently without using eye drops. How to choke and sob without breaking the expression, how to drive the audience's emotions with heart-piercing crying, how to break down and cry to release yourself completely...
The step-by-step crying drama tutorial stunned the newcomers on the scene.
It's really an old drama bone, you can cry when you cry!
She was talking on the stage, tears falling down like broken beads, and the level of emotional control has reached a superb level. When she was performing the scene of crashing and crying with everyone later, the newcomers on the scene were taken. With moist eyes, Cheng Xia couldn't help but shed a few tears.
This is the appeal of a great actor.
Ye Mingqian's crying scene is already very strong among the new generation, but it is still far behind the 60-year-old senior. Let alone Cheng Xia, if Senior stood in front of him and played against him, he would surely turn him into a scum.
I am still too weak, lack of experience, and unable to manage emotions freely. There is still a lot of room for him to improve.
After class, Cheng Xia took the initiative to ask Cai Yun to ask questions: "Teacher, if I want to play a scene where I find all my loved ones dead when I return home, how can I control my emotions? From surprise and disbelief, After I believe I collapse and cry, calm down and call the police? I think this emotional change is too intense to grasp."
Cai Yun looked at the serious teenager in front of him. The child had clear eyes and a look of thirsty for knowledge. She also noticed it when she was giving a lecture. The teenager sitting in the first row listened very carefully all the time. She likes to be motivated. The newcomer of the heart.
Cai Yun smiled and taught Cheng Xia some skills: "If you can't get into the drama as soon as possible, you can try to use the idea of using couplets. Imagine a scene where you see your own parents falling in a pool of blood. How would you react? Think about it, and the emotions will come."
Cheng Xia thoughtfully: "Well, teacher, did you make the same association when you acted in the later stage?"
Cai Yun said, "When you really learn how to be in a drama, you don't actually need to associate at all-whoever you want to play is who you are."
Who are you playing, who are you?
It is very difficult to reach this level, but after Cheng Xia listens to this class, he still feels suddenly enlightened. He smiled sincerely at the senior and said, "Thank you, teacher, I probably found a way out! I have been watching you since I was young. Drama, I really like you!"
The boy's eyes were bright and pure, and the admiration when he looked at her did not seem to be pretended. Cai Yun patted him lovingly on the shoulder: "I've heard many people say this. But I know, you are not complimenting. Come on."
...
In the next few days, Cheng Xia had been listening to the get out of class seriously. He became the student who asked the most questions. Every time after class, he would ask his seniors to ask questions. Such a serious attitude also made some newcomers uncomfortable with him and secretly made sarcasm. Think that he is deliberately showing the limelight, and some people think that he wants to show his presence in the old generation...
Cheng Xia ignored all these private discussions and listened to the class to take notes.
When he went back in the evening, he reported to Pei Shaoze about today's gains. Pei Shaoze would also talk to him and help him answer questions. Although one week of training could not make his acting skills improve by leaps and bounds, for Cheng Xia, this time Training is indeed rewarding.
How to show the character's inner struggle through subtle expressions and small movements?
How to interpret intense emotions such as crying, laughing, roaring, hatred, etc.?
The older generations brought valuable experience to teach them, it was like opening a door to a new world for them.
How much you can learn depends on your personal understanding.
Cheng Xia had no idea how to interpret the police role of "Xu Ziyang" before, but now he has a clear idea in his mind.
Xu Ziyang is a sunny, passionate and upright trainee criminal police officer. He has not experienced cruel cases before graduation, is full of hope for life, and has always believed that the truth will not be absent and the true murderer will not slip through the net.
But the killing of the uncle's family happened right under his nose. No clues were left at the scene. The police investigation has repeatedly fallen into the quagmire, and it will turn into an unsolved case where the murderer cannot be caught. His psychological and conviction impact. One can imagine.
It is not difficult for Cheng Xia to act as a sun-blooded intern. However, it was a great challenge for Cheng Xia to perform that kind of righteousness that only the police had, and the death of a family member could not catch the murderer's breakdown and ambivalence.
At the beginning of the show, Xu Ziyang witnessed the tragic death of his uncle's family of four after he returned home. He went from shock, pain, and collapse to quickly calmed down and protected the scene by calling the police. This kind of fierce emotional change makes it difficult to perform well. easy.
The audition asked the actors to perform this scene. Cheng Xia finally decided how to act after repeated deliberations in his mind.
On May 29th, the training class ended. Cheng Xia returned to the apartment and rehearsed several times according to the simulated scene in his mind.
For the next two days on the 30th and 31st, he practiced in the apartment from morning to night, looking at his actions and expressions in the mirror, closing his eyes and reciting the script lines silently. He was walking around the house like a little madman. Turning around, crying loudly for a while, laughing loudly for a while, completely releasing yourself regardless of the image, and finding the most accurate feeling...
After practicing many times, he gradually gained confidence in his heart.
On the night of the 31st, Pei Shaoze sent a message: "I'm going to audition tomorrow, are you confident?"
Cheng Xia quickly replied: "Yes! I have practiced many times these days and know how to act. Thanks to the crying skills taught by Teacher Cai, I think I should be able to cry at the audition scene."
Pei Shaoze said: "Very good. Tomorrow afternoon, I will accompany you."
Cheng Xia was stunned: "You don't need to accompany me when you are so busy. Sister Yan will accompany me."
Pei Shaoze said: "I am not going with you as a boss, but as a boyfriend to accompany you. Still refuse?"
Cheng Xia: "..."
Can't refuse!
These words warmed Cheng Xia's whole heart. It's like attending an important interview, although it doesn't matter if you say it, you still feel nervous. If his boyfriend is by his side, he will be more confident in his heart!
Pei Shaoze continued: "Don't think too much. You can choose, of course I will be happy for you. If you can't choose, we still have other dramas to shoot. Relax your mind and show yourself well, I believe you can."
If Cheng Xia had only 70% confidence before, Pei Shaoze's gentle encouragement made his confidence soar to 90% in an instant.
He will do well and can't let his boyfriend down!
