Chapter 35: Being pretty is basically not the point

 Although the supplementary tuition fee was provided, Zhang Yuanjun had to pay another price for taking classes during the summer vacation: giving classes to art candidates.

There was a teacher who was making extra money outside the school, so Zhang Yuanjun agreed to teach the art candidates.

When Zhang Yuanjun took the art exam, he ranked first in Nortel, second in Chinese opera, and second in military arts. These scores were enough to teach the younger students.

Zhang Yuanjun does not teach business courses, but teaches art exam procedures and exam-taking skills.

In fact, he knew a lot about the exam-taking skills of Hammer. He didn't prepare anything for the exam. His talent show was to write a wild cursive poem "Will Enter the Wine" on the spot, plus reciting ancient poems and essays that were engraved in his bones through ten years of calligraphy learning, and then he got the first place.

One.

Anyway, he thinks so shamelessly.

However, Zhang Yuanjun’s reputation as a school boy from Beidian is still well-known among art candidates.

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

Today he has a large class, and there are hundreds of students in the classroom.

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

The first thing Zhang Yuanjun saw when he entered the classroom was a girl sitting in the first row: "Have we met before somewhere?"

The girl smiled and said: "I also have the impression that we have met before."

"What's your name?"

"My name is Zhang Jianing."

Zhang Yuanjun remembered: "Teacher Zhang Xiaolong must be your uncle, I wonder why he looks so familiar."

"Yes. We have met at the China Theater before."

"Isn't it enough that your uncle taught you? He also came here to take a training class?"

"My uncle said that he cannot teach his own children."

Zhang Xiaolong is a well-known performance instructor in China. He teaches physical education in schools and has extensive research on etiquette. He founded the first etiquette guidance team in the mainland film and television industry.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Yuanjun officially started class:

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

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

He made the same mistake as Fang Hongjian. The class was originally scheduled to last 60-70 minutes, but he finished the entire lecture in 45 minutes.

I rubbed my hands in embarrassment and laughed twice. I was at a loss.

Fortunately, the teaching assistant from the organization accompanying him responded quickly: "The rest of the time will be left to the students. If you have any questions about preparing for the exam, you can ask our teacher Zhang."

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

"Teacher Zhang, there are many child actors or people with previous acting experience among the art candidates. I would like to ask how we should deal with competing with these people."

This classmate’s question resonated with many people present, and there was a buzz below.

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

"First of all, I want to say that it is really a bonus for people with acting experience to take the art exam. Even if I don't tell you, you will know this. But I want to correct your bad idea, that is, you will worry about my acting ability during the art exam.

What should I do if it’s not working well? What should I do if I don’t recite the words smoothly? What should I do if my limbs are not coordinated and my shape is not good? You may be worried about this.”

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

"I want to tell you, this idea is at least 70% wrong.

"Everyone must first understand one thing: what is selected for the art exam? Are actors selected? Yes, no.

"The art exam selects future actors. The school has its own teaching methods and procedures. They select you because of your future potential. You won't be too normal now. The teachers mainly look at your plasticity.

You are recruited, how can I teach you, and whether you can learn it.

"Moreover, some teachers have quirks and don't like child actors. They will think that you have been trained by others before. If I recruit you, I will spend a lot of time and energy to erase the traces of your previous performances.

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

"As I said before, art exam teachers have met more students. All you have to do is try your best to show your truest self on the spot and let the teacher see your potential."

In fact, Zhang Yuanjun didn't say a word. Many acting teachers particularly dislike the students who come out of the training class. In fact, the teachers can see the traces of the training class.

But isn’t Zhang Yuanjun attending someone else’s training class? You can’t dig into someone else’s background.

"Okay, next question. This classmate."

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

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said: "No. I don't know how other schools recruit students. As far as I know, the admissions for the acting department of the Film School and the School of Drama are based on preparations for a big play.

"That is to say, all kinds of actors are needed to be clean at birth and ugly at the end. If you look at "Tea House", there is a yellow fat man in it. He has to be fat, and he cannot be beautiful. How good is Mr. Tian Chunkui's performance.

There is also Teacher Liang Guanhua. Teacher Liang is fat, but who can say that his acting is not good? Teacher Du Xudong is not good-looking either, so his acting is not good?

"Actors rely on their looks to be successful for a while, but not for a lifetime. Being pretty is not the main point. As I said before, the art exam is to let the examiner see your potential and plasticity. Teachers with pretty faces have seen it all too often."

Zhang Yuanjun answered two more questions. Seeing that the time was almost up, the teaching assistant promptly terminated the class: "That's it for today's class. I believe that through Senior Zhang's explanation, the students have also gained a lot. Let us once again applaud and thank our Zhang Yuanjun."

Thank you for your patient teaching, senior."

There was warm applause in the classroom.

Zhang Yuanjun thanked him and returned to school after class.

God knows how relieved Zhang Yuanjun felt after he stepped down.

Zhang Yuanjun’s back was wet on the podium.

"I will never do this kind of job again." When Zhang Yuanjun told Liu Yifei about the class experience that afternoon, his heart was still pounding.

"Don't teach others if you don't have the skills." Do all adolescent girls like to argue with others and be rude?

"I didn't know it was so difficult to teach others. I stood on the podium and looked at the chaos below. My mind felt as if someone had hit me with a stick. I was confused and went blank. I couldn't hold back a word for several minutes. I was still in class.

I was dissatisfied with it, and finally managed to get through it by asking questions freely."

Vocal music teacher Mou Fenglan teased Zhang Yuanjun as soon as he entered the classroom: "I've heard all about it, and he said it well."

"So fast?"

"There is a video of your class, I just watched it." Teacher Mou said with a smile, "'The art test is to let the examiner see your potential and plasticity,' and being beautiful is basically not the point.' The words are all the same.

A set of skills. Has the potential to be a teacher.

"Why don't you stay in school and become a teacher after graduation?"

Zhang Yuanjun begged for mercy again and again: "Please let me go, I don't know how I said those words. They are all big principles. Isn't this just to save time?"

"It's a good idea to make up for the time. You, Teacher Wang, did not teach you in vain." Wang Jinsong, the class teacher of the 02 class, has been the deputy dean of the School of Performance for many years and has been responsible for the art examination. He often talks to them about the art examination in class, "Okay.

Okay, today in vocal music class we are going to talk about the relationship between body language and context in vocal performance. You are almost in your third year of college, so I won’t go into the simple ones. We will just practice the classic plays and explain them at the same time. Today we will take a detailed look at "Southern"

"Pacific"."

This is a classic Broadway musical that almost all acting and musical theater majors in the world will learn.

"Remember what I told you in your first class, don't smoke, drink less, and protect your voice, otherwise your throat will be blocked. Don't sing badly, you won't even be able to read your own lines well.
