Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Chapter 109 Bringing the Play to Life: That's What Actors Do

Zhao Jinmai returned to her seat.

"Alright, Hu Xianxu, go and rest for a while," Wang Jun said.

She glanced at Jiang Yang, who had already gotten up and was walking out, ready to start the audition at any moment.

He didn't let Jiang Yang in immediately.

Instead, he turned to Huang Lei and asked, "Teacher Huang, what do you think of Hu Xianxu's acting?"

"It's decent, and it captures the emotions at every stage." Huang Lei's assessment is fair: "Overall, it's very good, and it's enough for the role of Zhang Xiaoyu."

"What emotions were revealed in that final moment when you shed tears?"

"pretty good."

Huang Lei's answer left room for maneuver.

There was no special praise for Jiangyang, nor was there any special mention of Hu Xianxu.

Even if Jiang Yang doesn't perform well for a while, he won't lose face.

Just from Huang Lei's answer, Wang Jun knew what was going on.

This shows that Hu Xianxu's acting skills are up to par.

It's sufficient, at least for the TV series "A Little Reunion".

Jiang Yang would need to have significantly better acting skills than Hu Xianxu to make up for his height disadvantage if he wanted to get the role.

It's hard.

Very difficult.

If Huang Lei hadn't been there, the roles might have been decided right away.

No matter how well Jiang Yang acts, how good can it be?
"Knock, knock, knock." The wooden door to the audition room was knocked on, indicating that Jiang Yang's audition had begun.

Wang Jun stopped talking to Huang Lei.

Everyone else quieted down and turned to look at the wooden door.

Wang Jun cleared his throat and, playing the role of the head of student affairs, said, "Come in."

In the quiet audition room, the faint sound of a wooden door being gently pushed open could be heard.

Unlike Hu Xianxu, who had pushed the door open forcefully before, Jiang Yang stepped in directly.

He pushed the door open very gently and slowly, his hand hovering over the doorknob, hesitating for a second before finally pushing it open.

Because I didn't use enough force, the door closed automatically as soon as I pushed it open.

Jiang Yang lightly placed his fingers on the doorknob and pushed again, this time with a little more force. The door opened only a crack, and Jiang Yang, with his shoulders hunched inward, squeezed in sideways.

He tripped over his own foot as he entered, his movements were very uncoordinated.

She quickly stole a glance at Wang Jun, then dodged away as if electrocuted, avoiding eye contact, her eyes lowered and fixed on the ground.

Wang Jun's pupils contracted slightly.

It was just a simple act of pushing the door open and coming in, but the details were very well done!
There's a feeling of being terrified of going into the teacher's office, yet having no choice but to go in.

When we made eye contact, there was no word.

In that brief moment of eye contact, you could sense the other person's nervousness.

It wasn't Jiang Yang who was nervous, but rather the Zhang Xiaoyu that Jiang Yang was playing at that moment.

It's like he's become a completely different person.

One second Jiang Yang was chatting and laughing, the next he became Zhang Xiaoyu, who was even careful with his breathing.

This gaze immediately piqued Wang Jun's interest.

It's a director's physiological reaction when he discovers a hidden gem of an actor.

Wang Jun naturally assumed the role of the dean of students, straightened his back, and stared at Jiang Yang: "Zhang Xiaoyu? Come here!"

Jiang Yang's Adam's apple bobbed, but he remained silent.

One hand gripped the hem of her clothes, twisting the fabric into wrinkles. The other hand was secretly hidden behind her back, her fingernails digging into her palm.

Keep your eyes on the ground as you walk.

He stopped about two meters in front of Wang Jun and suddenly felt a chill.

One foot secretly moved back half a step, as if it were about to escape at any moment, and the knee was slightly bent.

You can hear Jiang Yang taking short, quick breaths through his nose.

Wang Jun knew what was going on.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Hu Xianxu was acting, while Jiang Yang was bringing the play to life.

As a director, I prefer the latter, because with this kind of actor, the soul of the character awakens within the actor's body the moment they appear on screen.

If the performances can be sustained.

Height can be a disadvantage.

Zhao Jinmai's gaze followed Jiang Yang's position, locking onto him.

"Is this Jiangyang?"

This doesn't seem like the Jiang Yang I know in private at all.

This scene isn't about acting wronged; it's about letting that wronged feeling seep out from the very core of your being.

Let the character parasitize your body.

I feel very uncomfortable in this environment, and I want to escape, but I don't dare to.

There were no exaggerated movements or lines; it was just a one-second eye contact with Director Wang, yet Jiang Yang's nervousness was palpable to everyone present.

No, to be precise, I sensed Zhang Xiaoyu's nervousness.

Zhao Jinmai suddenly realized that she hadn't known Jiang Yang for very long and had never really gotten to know him.

"Girl, this makeup assistant is quite good at acting," Hu Lin muttered, somewhat engrossed in the performance.

"Mom, his previous makeup assistant was also an actor," Zhao Jinmai whispered.

She had only come to act alongside him, but she saw in his performance the emotions she dared not show.

Hear the words.

Hu Lin then realized what was happening.

Yes.

This kid is actually an actor, otherwise he wouldn't have come to audition.

The makeup assistant role she played was so convincing that she didn't suspect anything at all; it blended perfectly into her life.

Is this even an act in real life?
They put in so much hard work.

Even I wouldn't bear to let my daughter work so hard.

"He's even acting in his daily life? Can he tell the difference between a play and real life?"

Not long ago, she was treated as a dressing room assistant, which completely overturned her expectations.

Hu Lin said subconsciously.

After speaking, he realized his mistake and immediately fell silent, afraid of affecting Jiang Yang.

Yang Chaoyue's heart beat faster and faster.

Gently bite half of your lower lip.

This is Yang Ge's true acting level.

Every time the performance officially starts, he instantly transforms from Yang Ge into the real him.
