Entertaining Children

   Chapter 329

  After a while, Xiao Yao saw another door of the classroom open, and a dozen candidates filed out of the classroom. It was obvious that the previous group had already finished the exam. They have different expressions on their faces, and they obviously feel good or bad about their performance.

  The door in front of Xiao Yao and his group soon opened. A young teaching assistant in his thirties greeted the invigilator who led the team, and the invigilator took Xiao Yao and his group of ten into the examination room.

  After the ten people entered the arena, they lined up and stood against one wall in turn, waiting for the examiner's call.

The atmosphere in the examination room is even more tense than outside. The examiners and assistant examiners sitting behind a table all have serious expressions, and even the teaching assistants around them are expressionless. The relaxed and active atmosphere in art academies. As soon as they entered the venue and felt this nervous and serious atmosphere, the expressions on the faces of the candidates who were already nervous enough outside became even more nervous.

  The examiner in the middle is named Chen Xiao. He is in his forties and he is also a middle-aged actor who often appears on TV screens, and his popularity is not low. At this moment, he was not in a hurry to call the number, but first scanned the ten candidates standing against the wall with scrutinizing eyes, and observed their expressions and states. In addition to appearance conditions and professional skills, psychological quality and stress resistance are also within the scope of the teachers' inspection.

  The expressions of ten people are basically more or less nervous. But this is also normal. For these candidates, this test is very important to them. It is strange that they are not nervous. What is important is the performance of the candidates in a state of tension. At least in Chen Xiao's opinion, it is satisfied that these ten people are not nervous enough to tremble or have obvious body stiffness. Wait...what seems to be wrong? I saw that the performance of one of the boys was obviously different from the others. Not only was there no sense of tension, but fortunately, he took off the hat and black-rimmed glasses he was wearing, and raised his hand to caress the slightly flattened hat. hair.

   "It's interesting, and I will adjust my image after entering the examination room." Chen Xiao's attention was also attracted by the boy, and she said in her heart. However, after seeing the boy's appearance clearly, Chen Xiao's eyes showed a trace of surprise. As a celebrity like Sun Zhihao who is not only a teacher in school, but also an active celebrity in the entertainment circle, Chen Xiao recognized this young man who is now quite famous in the entertainment circle at a glance.

Chen Xiao knows that Ye Jiaying graduated from the Acting Department of the China Academy of Drama, and also knows that Sun Zhihao, who teaches in the Acting Department of Yanjing Film Academy, has a good relationship with Xiao Yao's family, so he felt that Xiao Yao appeared in the examination room of the Acting Department of Shencheng Academy of Drama Quite a little unexpected, but this time is not the time to solve my doubts. The performance department has only one day for a test. There are 70 or 80 groups of candidates in each examination room. Therefore, the total time for a group of ten candidates is only a few minutes. On average, each candidate can get one minute. It's not yet time, but time is very tight.

   "I am the chief examiner of today's test room." Chen Xiao suppressed his curiosity, and after a brief introduction of himself, he directly announced today's test rules and test questions to the candidates. "Today's exam has two content, namely line selection performance and impromptu group sketch performance. The line selection is personal choice, and the impromptu group sketch is our proposition. The first one is the line performance. Please list the candidates whose names I read below. Start your excerpts of lines."

  "The first one, Chen Wenxin." After the introduction, Chen Xiao directly began to read the name from the top of the application form handed over by his teaching assistant.

"Hello teachers, my name is Chen Wenxin, I am nineteen years old and I come from..." A pretty girl with a round face and a lovely appearance walked up two steps from the line standing against the wall, and came to a few. In front of the examiner, he introduced himself.

"Stop," the girl just said a few words, Chen Xiao waved her to interrupt her, "Today is a try, you don't need to introduce yourself, you can just say the name of the selected lines of your performance, and then just start. ."

   "Also, the people behind you are the same." Chen Xiao swept the other candidates who were still standing against the wall.

   "I see, teacher." The round-faced girl named Chen Wenxin nodded with the other nine candidates.

   "Let's start then." Chen Xiao nodded noncommittal, and motioned to the girl.

   "Teachers, the excerpts of the lines I performed are from Zhao Ji in the TV series "Qin Shi Huang"." After the girl gave a brief introduction, she immediately began her line performance.

  Hearing this girl’s introduction, Xiao Yao and several examiners and assistant examiners frowned slightly. Qin Shihuang is one of the most famous historical figures in Chinese history. No matter which world it is in, there must be film and television works based on the life of this character. The TV series "Qin Shi Huang" in this world is also a historical drama with a high ratings and a great influence. There is no doubt about its popularity, but this girl is in line with the drama in terms of her image and temperament or the voice traits she just revealed. The first emperor's mother, Zhao Ji, was too far apart, and this choice didn't sound appropriate.

  Sure enough, the girl was interrupted again by Chen Xiao just as she read a few sentences.

"Okay. You go back first and wait for the group sketch performance for a while." Chen Xiao stroked the registration form in front of him with a pen without lifting his head, and picked up the top one and set it aside , And then looked at the next registration form and shouted, "Next, Xu Xiaoguang!"

  The girl named Chen Wenxin was a little surprised when she heard what Chen Xiao said. There was also a hint of panic and unwillingness in her eyes, but she didn't say anything, very obediently, she retreated to her original position against the wall and stood up again.

A boy named by Chen Xiao walked up to several examiners and bowed slightly and said, "Hello teachers, the excerpt of the lines I performed is a modern poem called "Flying Birds and Fishes"." Xu Xiaoguang remembered what Chen Xiao said just now, so after going up, he didn't say any nonsense about self-introduction. After saying hello to several teachers, he directly reported the name of his line selection.

  As soon as this introduction came out, Chen Xiao subconsciously glanced at Xiao Yao, who was among the candidates, and then looked at the boy in front of him somewhat unexpectedly. Xiao Yao looked at the boy's back with some surprise, "When is this poem of mine a candidate for candidates to prepare the line selection?" Xiao Yao thought unexpectedly in his heart.

"The furthest distance in the world is not where the sky is apart..." The boy was overjoyed after seeing Chen Xiao's gaze towards Xiao Yao, and the accident in his eyes afterwards, and forced himself to hold back himself. Feeling triumphant, he started to recite. He believed that he would not be the same as the girl in front of him, who only spoke a few words and was stopped by the examiner in front of him.

  "Stop!" As a result, the boy named Xu Xiaoguang only read three sentences, and was called to stop by the examiner Chen Xiao. "Play smart," Chen Xiao, who saw through Xu Xiaoguang's mind, commented a little, but the comment did not seem to be finished, and from the tone of voice, it was completely impossible to judge whether it was praise or derogation. When Xu Xiaoguang was upset by Chen Xiao waiting for the following, Chen Xiao directly lost the latter.

   "Next, Le Anqi!" Chen Xiao flicked on Xu Xiaoguang's registration form in front of him, took it aside, looked at the third registration form and shouted.

  The boy named Xu Xiaoguang turned around with an embarrassed expression and walked back. He also subconsciously glanced at Xiao Yao's position on the road. With just this look, Xiao Yao also couldn't see the meaning in his eyes.

  One by one candidates were called to perform the line selection performance, but they were basically stopped by Chen Xiao after saying a few words, and then directly started to call the next one.

  In just three minutes, eight candidates in front of Xiao Yao had already performed the excerpts of their lines, and now only Xiao Yao and the girl with an exotic feeling outside that he had spied out.

Although the Yanjing Film Academy and the Shencheng Academy of Drama are not the same school, many ideas and styles of this kind of film and television academy are also figured out during the examination. Therefore, before the examination, they have also experienced the professional examination of the acting department and have Zhao Rui, who has spent a year in Yanjing Film Academy, also introduced to Xiao Yao some of the conditions and rules of the professional examination of the acting department.

  Xiao Yao once heard Zhao Rui say that when the performance department took the first test, the average time for each candidate to perform the lines was only 20 to 30 seconds. The teachers in charge of the test are very professional. Usually you can hear your basic skills in two or three sentences, and although the content of the test is line performance and group sketches, the main examination is the appearance and on-the-spot reaction, so in order to save time , They usually just stop calling the next one after hearing a few sentences. If any examinee can let the examiner listen to your line performance and sketch performance from beginning to end, then his test should be stable. According to Zhao Rui's statement, it seems that no one in their group has appeared so far that can be said to have stabilized.

"Next one, Nina Aiyiguli!" When Chen Xiao reached the ninth place, she deliberately swapped the positions of the two registration forms in front of him, and called out the girl next to Xiao Yao who had an exotic feeling. name.

   "It turned out to be a girl from an ethnic minority." Xiao Yao thought slightly in his heart when he heard the name. Xiao Yao felt that the girl had a foreign nationality, not because her dress had the characteristics of Chinese ethnic minorities or other nationalities, but because of the tall nose, tiny eye sockets and sunken eye sockets on her beautiful melon seed face. The pale gray eyes indicate that this girl is not a pure Chinese girl from Han ethnicity.

  "Hello teachers, my selection of lines is a Uyghur line from the heroine Aimni in the movie "Hump"." The girl introduced in standard Mandarin.

   "Okay, let's start." Chen Xiao nodded.

  "@*&Amp;amp;#......." the girl said.

  Xiao Yaohui speaks many foreign languages ​​and Huaxia dialects, but Kovi is obviously not one of them. Let alone Xiao Yao, it seems that there are no people who understand Uighur in the entire classroom. However, although the language is imperfect, it is impossible to hear whether the pronunciation of the words is standard, but everyone can still hear that the voice of the girl is very penetrating. Compared with the previous eight candidates, the basic skills of this girl's lines are obviously stronger.

Sure enough, Chen Xiao waved his hand to stop after listening to seven or eight sentences, and after shouting to stop, Chen Xiao rarely smiled and gave comments and suggestions: "The voice is very penetrating, and the basic skills are good. But. It is recommended that you change a paragraph of lines in Chinese or in English during the second try. If the listener cannot understand the content of the lines, the effect will be greatly reduced."

  "Wow~" The examinees beside them gave a soft exclamation. Seeing this, this girl who looks like a Uighur has decided to give it a try.

   "Thank you teacher, I remembered it." Nina Aiyiguli bowed again to Chen Xiao before turning around and walking back to her original position.

  Chen Xiao nodded in satisfaction, and ticked two tick on Nina Ayiguli’s registration form, and then he saw the final registration form. The assistant teacher next to him also smiled, and ticking two tick indicates that Chen Xiao has now passed Nina Aiguli's trial. He felt that in fact, Nina Ayiguli just stopped there, even if she did nothing, it was enough for her to have a try. After all, what I tried to see was the appearance condition, and the appearance and figure of Nina Ayiguli were the best so far today.

  "Next, Xiao Yao!" Chen Xiao finally reported his last name.

   "Wow, it's him!" Several examinees exclaimed in their hearts. Affected by the atmosphere in the examination room, the candidates stood by the wall and waited honestly, not daring to look around. Except for Xu Xiaoguang taking a sneak peek at Xiao Yao by the opportunity of turning around and going back, the other candidates had no intention of paying attention to the other candidates, so everyone did not see what Xiao Yao looked like after taking off his hat and glasses. At this time, as the last examinee called by the examiner's teacher, he naturally attracted the attention of this group of other examinees who had already finished the first item.

   "Hello teachers, the excerpt of the lines I prepared is a lyrics called "Chongerfei"." Xiao Yao bowed to the teachers and introduced.

   "Well, let's start!" Chen Xiao's smile at Nina Ayiguli just now disappeared completely, and she put on a serious expression and said to Xiao Yao.

  "The dark sky is drooping, the bright stars follow, the insects fly, the insects fly, who are you missing..." Xiao Yao took a breath and began to say in a vigorous baritone. As soon as he opened his mouth, the audience was shocked.

  The basic skills of lines include sound, character, sound, and air. Although Xiao Yao has never studied acting with Xiao Chengru, he has learned professional vocalization exercises from him since he was a child. I have been learning and practicing for more than ten years of correcting sound, uttering words, vocalizing, and using qi. Although I am not practicing every day like martial arts, I have accumulated such a long period of time. Now Xiao Yao’s basic skills in lines are no better than those of the performance department. The undergraduates are bad.

   When Xiao Yao participated in Sun Zhihao's drama at the age of eight, he could already hear his voice in the entire theater without wearing a headset. Now that ten years have passed, his skill has naturally increased.

  For a time, Xiao Yao's voice seemed to be echoed in the entire classroom. Although it was a nursery rhyme song that everyone was familiar with more than ten years ago, everyone could easily hear the emotion in the lyrics from Xiao Yao's voice. In this regard, other candidates also had to say a word of service in their hearts.

  Chen Xiao's serious expression gradually disappeared, again showing a rather admiring smile. Unlike the previous Nina Ayiguli, this time, until Xiao Yao finished reciting the lyrics of the entire song, Chen Xiao did not shout "Stop!"

  After Xiao Yao finished reading, he bowed slightly and gestured to the examiners, quietly waiting for Chen Xiao's comment.

  "Excellent!" Chen Xiao smiled and said to Xiao Yao, "If you can pass this exam and enter our Shenxi Opera, I really hope you will be assigned to my class and become my student."
