1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Cheng Xuemin knew that many people were waiting to laugh at him and to step on him.

But so what?

Because Cheng Xuemin is determined, the martial arts film "Tai Chi" that he is responsible for producing is bound to become as popular as "Shaolin Temple" back then and become popular all over the world.

With 10 million US dollars in foreign exchange, Cheng Xuemin is sure to make a profit.

So, just ignore those people's faces. What if he likes to be in the limelight? Hasn't Cheng Xuemin been in the limelight enough in the past year?

Seeing that Huang Jianzhong's teaching was not very good and did not provide targeted teaching to talented martial artists like Li Lianjie, he immediately took over the conversation, stood up, and quickly wrote two words on the blackboard: Performance!

"Class, what is performance?"

After finishing writing, Cheng Xuemin turned to look at Li Lianjie and the others, and continued to speak: "I don't need you to know!"

"Because acting itself involves a lot of theoretical knowledge. People like Zhang Fengyi and Xie Yuan are learning these theoretical knowledge in school, right?"

"Yes, yes, Teacher Cheng, you are right. What we are learning now is theoretical knowledge, so we want to join your crew to practice and learn, and combine theory with practice!" Xie Yuan, who was named, nodded and praised repeatedly, and Zhang Fengyi also nodded.

Students from Beijing Film Academy want to act even if it is a small supporting role. Isn't it to combine theory with practice and improve their acting skills? !

“Then you’ve come to the right place! Listen carefully and learn well, you won’t return empty-handed!” In the classroom, Cheng Xuemin is always so confident and high-spirited.

I know that what he said will offend many people, but so what?
It's his classroom and his podium, and he has the final say.

After talking to Xie Yuan and the others, Cheng Xuemin turned his attention back to Li Lianjie, Ji Chunhua and the others. Seeing their eager eyes, he nodded with satisfaction and continued, "However, my requirements for you are different from theirs! They already have a set of self-contained theoretical knowledge in school, which is enough for them to understand the lessons I am going to teach."

"My requirements for you are not high. You are not required to master those so-called theoretical knowledge. Besides, our crew does not have that much time to let you study that set of theoretical knowledge step by step!"

"I just ask for one thing, quick success!"

"I just want you to master the performance skills. I don't need to know what theory these skills are based on!"

"In short, what I want you to know about acting is to perform in front of the camera and in specific scenes in the script, and that's enough!"

"Even for the lines, I don't have too high expectations for you. Just shout one, two, three!"

Yes!

Cheng Xuemin didn't expect to quickly train Li Lianjie and others to become talented actors. Besides, looking at Li Lianjie's current situation, it seemed like she would never achieve the status of a talented actor in her entire life.

So, we are too harsh on Li Lianjie and others who are good at acting.

Cheng Xuemin planned to directly copy the later quick-learning method of acting, without even requiring the actors to combine their actions with their lines, they only needed them to shout one, two, three.

Just count the number of lines, and then have a voice actor dub them later.

Anyway, among those young handsome men and fairies in later generations, which one of them takes the blame and lines seriously when filming a movie, and which one of them doesn’t do the dubbing in post-production?

Even some fairies and handsome guys couldn't even count in front of the camera, it was really hilarious.

"Teacher Xiao Cheng, you don't even need to say your lines? You... you are insulting the professional teachers at Yanying Studio, aren't you?"

Chen Kaizi couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing that Li Shaohong didn't say anything, he was so angry that he couldn't help it and started to attack!

"Insult?"

"If you say so, then so be it. Anyway, I didn't say so!"

Cheng Xuemin glanced at Chen Kaizi and was too lazy to argue with this guy. He asked the actors to shout one, two, three, and it would be a good idea for him to start with it. What a bullshit.

"Well, you...you come and try it!" Cheng Xuemin then pointed at Li Lianjie and asked him to come out and demonstrate.

"Ah?! Okay, Brother Cheng!" Li Lianjie was already eager to try, and when Cheng Xuemin called him, he somersaulted forward on the spot and stood straight next to Cheng Xuemin.

"it is good!"

I have to say, Li Lianjie's martial arts are amazing and beautiful!

"Xiao Ji, Chun Yan, Wang Qun, Qiu Yan, you guys come out too!" Cheng Xuemin then called on a few other people and continued, "Now I want you to act out a scene where Li Lianjie is carrying a very heavy sack, getting on a bus to ask for directions, and getting on the wrong bus!"

"Xiao Ji, you play the driver, Chun Yan the ticket seller, Wang Qun and Qiu Yan, you pretend to be the passengers!"

Cheng Xuemin's quick-learning method is actually just copying the classic lectures from a very popular variety show in later generations, "Actors Please Take Your Place".

In particular, the lesson where Teacher Chen Daomin teaches young actors how to act on a bus can be regarded as a textbook-style crash course at Beijing Film Academy.

So it’s too good to be true to use it now to fool newbies like Li Lianjie.

Even for academicians like Zhang Fengyi and Xie Yuanhuang, it is still a dimensionality reduction attack. Can Chen Kaizi be allowed to make irresponsible remarks?

With Chen Kaizi's level, even at his peak, he would have to continue practicing if he met Teacher Chen.

What's more, Chen Kaizi is still a young student in school and just the second-generation leader of Yanying Studio.

"Comrade, is this the bus to the sports school?"

Li Lianjie started to perform on her own, got on the bus very easily, and asked the ticket seller Ge Chunyan with a smile.

"Comrade, you got on the wrong bus. This is the bus to Yanda..."

"Stop, stop, stop. Do you call this acting?" Cheng Xuemin rolled his eyes and stopped the performance. "Chunyan, let me teach you some lines!"

"You are stupid! This is not the bus to the sports school. You got on the wrong bus. Get off now!"

"You have to use a very aggressive tone. You are a glorious conductor, the leader of our eight members. You have to give them a sense of superiority. Especially in a situation like this where you got on the wrong bus, you have to treat them like a fool and mock them!"

"Okay, Teacher Cheng, I understand. I'll try it!" Ge Chunyan was very embarrassed, her face flushed and she was obviously very nervous.

But fortunately, after his attention was diverted, he no longer kept looking at the camera, which is already a huge improvement.

Then Cheng Xuemin looked at Li Lianjie and said, "You are too relaxed. You got on the car too lightly. Didn't I just say that you were carrying a very heavy sack? You need to perform well when you get on the car with a heavy load..."

"Forget it, it's all quick training anyway, and I don't expect you to master that kind of performance skills!"

"Xiao Ji, move a stool for him!" Cheng Xuemin subconsciously wanted to take a lesson from Li Lianjie, to make him understand that he was now carrying a heavy sack on the bus, and he had to perform the hectic movements of carrying the weight on the bus.

But he quickly adjusted to the situation. Instead of letting him understand what weight-bearing performance was, it would be better to just give him more weight.

"Good Le!"

After listening to Cheng Xuemin, Ji Chunhua quickly took the stool he had just vacated and handed it to Li Lianjie.

"Well, can you bring it up?" Ji Chunhua followed with a sarcasm.

"Go away, who are you looking down on? I can lift it with one hand!" Li Lianjie weighed the stool in his hand. It was indeed not too easy for him.

"Then give him two more! Until he feels the weight is too heavy!"

Since we are here for the experience, then let’s add the right amount of weight, Cheng Xuemin and Ji Chunhua continued.

"Good Le!"

Ji Chunhua seemed to have found an opportunity to bully this kid, so he quickly gave the stool that Li Lianjie, Wang Qun and others had just been sitting on to Li Lianjie.

Li Lianjie is a stubborn guy. He added six stools, put them in his hands and shoulders, and hung a big bag around his neck, making him feel overwhelmed by the clutter.

"It's okay now, listen to me!" Cheng Xuemin nodded, indicating that they could start the performance.

"Li Lianjie, you were waiting for the bus at the bus stop with a lot of stuff. The bus slowly pulled into the station and you quickly picked up the stuff on the ground!"

"Yes, now the car has stopped and the door is open, you start to squeeze towards the door... swaying left and right, you stretch out your foot to test the door sill, until you step on it in a panic, and then step into the car!"

"Yes, that's it. You finally squeezed onto the bus, and you squeezed to the back of the bus. You wanted to free up one hand to pay for the ticket..."

Ok!

Li Lianjie, who was already heavily burdened, didn't need to perform at all. Under Cheng Xuemin's guidance, she was already panicking. How could she have time to buy tickets?

So now Li Lianjie doesn't need to act at all. At this moment she is just in a panic, being jostled left and right by the passengers.

After finally finding his pocket and about to take out the money, the pendants on his body fell down one after another. He didn't even bother to take out the money and hurried to pick up the things on the ground. However, as soon as he squatted down, many more pendants fell down one after another, and he was at a loss.

"Where are you going?!" Cheng Xuemin saw the ticket seller Ge Chunyan, who was about to laugh, so he had to go on stage himself and ask Li Lianjie.

"Shichahai Sports School!" Li Lianjie said unhappily.

"You are stupid! You got on the wrong bus. This bus doesn't go to Shichahai Sports School. Get off at the back!" Cheng Xuemin looked down at him and smiled arrogantly.

"I, I, I... How can I get out of this state?" Li Lianjie might have been so angry that he really got angry. Ji Chunhua and the others must have been retaliating against him. They had hung so many things on him, making him feel helpless. He was really furious.

"You made it like this yourself, why do you blame me?" Cheng Xuemin, the conductor, continued to be sarcastic and urged without any sympathy, "Hurry up, don't dawdle and delay other passengers from getting on the bus! Where did this country bumpkin come from!?"

A mud-legged peasant?

Cheng Xuemin could actually say these three words so fluently, which reminded him of this time last year when he went to Beijing to find his wife. Wasn’t his mother-in-law and sister-in-law disliked him in the same way?
So it is not surprising that a middle-aged woman, a bus conductor in Yanjing, would say this.

"You..." Li Lianjie was already very angry and suddenly became furious, wanting to curse at Cheng Xuemin.

"What do you mean? You want to challenge me? Then come on!" Cheng Xuemin provoked him again and pushed Li Lianjie directly in annoyance!
"Fuck, you..."

This……

Yu Hai and others nearby were originally watching the show and thought that Teacher Cheng was really talented. He brought Li Lianjie into the role instantly and the performance was very good and realistic.

Do not!
This is simply not acting but... Oh no, the two of them are really getting too into the role and are about to get really angry.

Especially Li Lianjie, his eyes were red and he was really going to attack Teacher Cheng. Seeing this, I hurried forward to stop the fight.

"Stop, okay, that's it!"

How could Cheng Xuemin not be aware of Li Lianjie's current condition?
Seeing that he was really about to attack, I shouted "Cut" without hesitation!

Then he said to everyone, "Now you guys come and judge, how is Leo's performance?"

"Great!"

"Teacher Xiao Cheng, if you hadn't called for a stop at the end, I would have thought you were really going to fight!"

"Yes, Mr. Cheng, Xiao Li's acting was so realistic this time that we all thought you were going to fight!"

Yu Hai, Wu Bin and others who were about to step forward to persuade the fight heard Cheng Xuemin shouting to stop, and then they realized that they were acting. Then they saw Li Lianjie also standing there in a daze, and they couldn't help but scream.

"Uh... Brother Cheng, did I act well?" Li Lianjie, who was still dropping things from her body, finally reacted. Her face changed and she shouted excitedly.

"Very good indeed!" Cheng Xuemin didn't bother to argue with this kid, which was also related to the provocation in his tone and actions. He then asked, "Then tell me, compared with the previous two performances, why was Leo so immersed in the role and acted so well this time?"

"Yes, just like what I said just now, just make accurate responses to specific scenes!"

"Just now, Leo perfectly interpreted the specific plot of a person who is carrying a heavy load and squeezing into a bus, and is in a panic and has no idea where to put it!"

"So this is what it's like to squeeze into a bus. Leo played it out very realistically, and you all accepted and brought it into the plot, so you felt empathy and thought Leo played it very well!"

"In fact, there is only one thing. If you can resonate with the public and make them feel that this is what it's like to squeeze into a bus, then your performance will be a success!"

"This is how it works to squeeze into a bus. The other plot scenes are also the same. All you need to do next is listen carefully and cooperate with the performance. I believe you will succeed soon!"

Clap clap clap!

As soon as Cheng Xuemin finished speaking, the first person to lead the applause was Li Shaohong from the academic directing department. He was the first one who couldn't help but applaud.

Soon after, Tian Zhuangzhuang saw it and started to applaud. Then, people from both the academic and martial arts schools started to applaud.

I have to say that Cheng Xuemin’s teaching this time was indeed very successful!
In less than five minutes, Cheng Xuemin turned a martial artist who didn't know anything about acting theory into a very exciting and outstanding scene of squeezing into a bus.

I have to say, this kid Cheng Xuemin is quite something!
And he certainly wasn't bragging. He had the training for squeezing into a bus. I believe that with Cheng Xuemin's training in the upcoming filming of "Tai Chi", people are looking forward to it.
