"This is the sentence you need to memorize."

Of all the vastness of the world, only you are my sole support. Without you, how can I face the loneliness of this life?

Xia Ze pointed to a relatively long line of dialogue in the script.

This dialogue is Zhu Yingtai's soliloquy after Liang Shanbo's death, when she is all alone and heartbroken.

It is a great test of the performer's skills and delivery of lines.

If the performer's emotional expression is inadequate, the lines they deliver will sound as emotionless as a primary school student reciting a textbook.

"I noticed this line just now too. It's really well written, but I don't know if I can perform it."

Lin Miaomiao lacked confidence.

Because this part of the dialogue is too difficult; there's a line that requires a heart-wrenching feeling to perform.

She hasn't studied acting, so simply reciting lines won't do.

"I'll practice with you," Xia Ze encouraged her.

Xia Ze was confident that as long as Lin Miaomiao practiced this line, she would pass the test, even if her performance wasn't too bad, unless it was exceptionally good.

"I'll give it a try." Lin Miaomiao nodded.

"Don't rush, let's practice these two lines first to get a feel for them," Xia Ze stopped Lin Miaomiao.

Then I found a dialogue between two people in the script.

Lin Miaomiao looked at it and nodded.

Then the two of them each spent five minutes memorizing all their lines.

Lin Miaomiao put down the script and took a deep breath.

"I, Zhu Yingtai, swear that as long as Liang Shanbo is alive, I will be full of hope for the future. Unless Liang Shanbo dies, I, Zhu Yingtai, will definitely live on strongly!"

After Lin Miaomiao finished reciting her lines, Xia Ze did not immediately continue.

Because he couldn't immerse himself in it at all.

Lin Miaomiao showed absolutely no feeling when performing this line; the entire performance was devoid of any emotion.

Let alone him, even any other viewer would not be able to connect with the character when hearing her deliver those lines.

Lin Miaomiao also realized that her performance was not good, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I think I don't seem to have any talent."

"It's not that you lack talent, it's that you simply didn't get into character," Xia Ze said, hitting the nail on the head.

Only by immersing oneself in the role can one perform better.

Just like actors, if they can't even get into character, then what they produce is just a performance based on a thesis defense.

"There's nothing I can do, I don't know much about Liang Zhu." Lin Miaomiao was also helpless. Although she had heard of the name Liang Zhu, she had not studied it seriously.

I don't even know much about the basic plot; I only know that the two of them died in the end and turned into butterflies.

Xia Ze was also surprised.

No wonder Lin Miaomiao couldn't get into character.

After all that, she didn't even understand the specifics of what happened between Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. No wonder she couldn't get into character.

"Come here and listen carefully."

"Oh."

The two sat side by side, and Xia Ze quickly and briefly told Lin Miaomiao the general story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.

After hearing the whole story, Lin Miaomiao was so moved that tears streamed down her face.

"That's so tragic, those two are really pitiful."

"Now you know why so many people know this story."

"Why do you think Zhu Yingtai's parents didn't approve of them being together? They were such a perfect match."

Lin Miaomiao pouted, feeling very disappointed.

She really couldn't understand why parents would break up their children's relationships; wasn't that killing their children's future?

"Sigh... There are many things involved here, including family interests and feudal ideas. In short, Zhu Yingtai's parents believed that the two families were not a good match."

Xia Ze couldn't explain much either.

After all, the story is set in ancient times and contains a great deal of the ideas of people from that era.

"Oh, I really feel sorry for them."

"It's so much better in modern times; we don't have to think about so many things."

Lin Miaomiao sighed, thankful that she was born in modern times and didn't have to consider so many feudal ideas.

Xia Ze simply smiled at this.

In fact, many people still value marriage between people of similar social standing, but Lin Miaomiao has not yet experienced that.

After fully understanding the plot of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, Lin Miaomiao's performance was at least twice as good as before.

She practiced it herself first.

Then she walked up to Xia Ze and started performing again.

"I, Zhu Yingtai, swear that as long as Liang Shanbo is alive, I will be full of hope for the future. Unless Liang Shanbo dies, I, Zhu Yingtai, will definitely live on strongly!"

“You must remember, as long as I live, you absolutely cannot die before me,” Xia Ze delivered the line with great expression.

"Then you can live a long life, otherwise you'll shorten my life."

The two actors had only three lines of dialogue.

The performance was quite good, but it didn't quite reach a professional level.

To be precise, Lin Miaomiao hasn't reached that level yet.

"OK, that's a wrap!"

"Remember this feeling, and perform like this later. Also, quickly memorize the lines I just asked you to memorize."

Xia Ze glanced at the time and realized there were less than 20 minutes left.

We can't bother her anymore.

Lin Miaomiao nodded and began to recite it earnestly.

Twenty minutes later.

Lin Miaomiao finally managed to memorize the lines with great difficulty, and at that moment, Pan Yuansheng and Teacher Ye also came over.

"How well did you two students recite?" Teacher Ye asked with a smile.

"It was alright, but the time was too short. We just randomly memorized a few lines." Xia Ze returned the script to Teacher Ye.

Teacher Ye smiled.

He knew that Xia Ze and Lin Miaomiao wouldn't be able to memorize it all; after all, the script was so long, how could they possibly memorize it all in an hour?

It's also his fault for not explaining things clearly earlier.

Previously, each candidate would choose a segment to perform.

"Let's begin, let me see the performance of these two students." Pan Yuansheng and his classmates found seats and sat down.

Xia Ze and Lin Miaomiao exchanged a glance.

Following their previous plan, the two first performed the same segment they had just rehearsed.

Then they performed a sweeter segment from the Butterfly Lovers story.

Lin Miaomiao: "I'll punish you by making you a happy couple in the mortal world!"

(Li Dehao) Xia Ze: "To stay together for life, until death do us part!"

Although the two only performed one line, the effect was even better than the previous scene.

Because the two of them meant it sincerely when they said those words.

It's so sweet to watch and listen to, it's like the real Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai are having a conversation.

"There's something fishy about these two..."

"The sweetness in this dialogue is so high that I seriously suspect these two are a real couple."

The two senior students whispered to each other.

They were both high school seniors and had dated before. Xia Ze and Lin Miaomiao gave them the feeling of being a couple.

Not only them, but even Pan Yuansheng felt both good and awkward listening to it.

As an audience member, the performance was fine for him, but as the dean of students at a school, it was very difficult for him to watch.

Because these two look like a couple in love no matter how you look at them, it wouldn't be good for him, the head of student affairs, to ignore it.
