Entertainment News: You gain half of your ex-girlfriend's abilities after breaking up!

"A musical?"

Mingbei smacked his lips, thinking to himself that he wasn't really interested in that thing.

However, seeing Xiao Di's expectant and excited expression, he didn't refuse.

"Okay, go ahead, but where did you get this ticket?"

"Wan Qian is our senior, and she happened to be performing in Shanghai, so she gave some tickets to us freshmen through the alumni association. I had a really hard time getting them!"

Mingbei also had some impression of Wan Qian.

One of them had a photo that went viral; she was pregnant and had long, flowing hair, which Mingbei looked at several times.

Another thing is that she's a game enthusiast and plays World of Warcraft quite well.

There are also rumors that she is the leader of one of the five major guilds in World of Warcraft!

There are already few girls who are good at games, and before games like Honor of Kings came out, there weren't many girls in the gaming world.

Not to mention, it's even rarer to find someone in the entertainment industry who can play games, and is exceptionally good at them!

However, at this point in time, she was probably still relatively unknown.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be busy touring with musicals and plays instead of showcasing themselves in film and television.

Although spoken drama is the pinnacle of drama, it may hold a higher place in the hearts of actors than film.

Being able to perform well in a stage play means your acting skills are definitely not bad!

Some people say that when stage actors go into film and television, it's like a game of cat and mouse!

It might be a bit of an exaggeration, but the requirements for stage plays are indeed higher because there is no option to do a retake on stage.

But plays and musicals really don't make money and don't get much exposure.

Because it's a niche market, there aren't many viewers, so it doesn't have much commercial value.

"It seems Jay Chou will be holding a concert in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang area this summer. I'll see if I can manage to snag a ticket; it seems like that would be more interesting..."

"Both July 16th and 23rd are available!"

Xiao Di's eyes lit up instantly, and she grabbed Ming Bei's arm.

"They're all from Jiangsu Province, do you think you can get tickets?"

"Of course," Mingbei smiled slightly.

"With money, you can do whatever you want."

......

Having money doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. For example, it's difficult to get Mingbei to be extremely enthusiastic when watching a musical.

Xiao Di, sitting next to me, was watching with great interest. Perhaps in her opinion, being able to perform on stage in front of so many people was already a very impressive thing.

Moreover, these stage plays cannot afford any mistakes; even if there are, they must be performed naturally and smoothly transition to the next chapter.

This places extremely high demands on the actors' acting skills and mental fortitude.

Mingbei's greater attention is focused on Wan Qian.

To be fair, Wan Qian's development can be considered well-rounded.

Not only can she act, but she can also sing. She has released albums and worked as a singer; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to perform in musicals.

Musicals, as the name suggests, involve singing!

There is a very famous musical called "Cats" from abroad, which is hailed as the pinnacle of musicals.

The song "Memory" in it is very famous!

The show they're watching now can't compare to "Cats," but it still received a lot of applause from the audience during the performance.

Mingbei also noticed Wan Qian's performance on stage.

I think this actor is really talented; his acting is good, and he has his own rhythm on stage.

"If he could acquire half of her and Tang Wei's acting skills, he should have a chance to become a Best Actor winner."

Mingbei muttered to himself, expressing his approval of Wan Qian's acting skills.

"My situation is somewhat like the 'Furnace Nourishing Myriad Scriptures' in fantasy novels, absorbing the power of others and ultimately turning it into my own nourishment!"

"Fortunately, it's about absorbing half of someone else's abilities, rather than copying others to achieve one's own..."

However, when it comes to acting skills, there's no question of plagiarism.

You can learn, master it, and express it in your own way—that is your ability.

After watching the musical, Xiao Di dragged Ming Bei backstage to find Wan Qian.

After all, she gave me the tickets, and now that I have the chance to thank her in person, I should do it.

Because of their alumni status at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, the two had relatively smooth communication and quickly met Wan Qian, who had removed her makeup.

"Hello Qian-jie, we are first-year students majoring in acting from the class of 10. Thank you for sending us the tickets..."

Wan Qian showed a hint of surprise upon seeing the two of them, because in her opinion,

The two people in front of them were simply a perfect couple; they were truly eye-catching just standing together!

It's quite normal for arts schools like the Shanghai Theatre Academy to have many handsome men and beautiful women.

If you're not good-looking, you generally won't be able to get through this door.

But to have such outstanding looks even in the entertainment industry, that's a gift from God.

Clearly, these two junior brothers and sisters, just by looking at their foundation, you can tell they have the potential to make a name for themselves in the industry!

"Hello," Wan Qian, as a senior student, naturally didn't put on airs and greeted them with a smile.

"I'm so happy you all came to see us, thank you for your support~"

Musicals are a niche genre, so there aren't many audiences to begin with; otherwise, they wouldn't be giving away tickets.

If it's a box office hit, it'll be very difficult to give away the tickets even if you wanted to.

Sending her out to see people, and even having them come backstage to find her, and seeing how beautiful they are, makes Wan Qian feel a little better.

After chatting for a bit and learning their names, Wan Qian asked curiously.

Have you started getting involved in acting yet?

Xiao Di shook her head, "Senior, I haven't, but Mingbei..."

As she spoke, she turned to look at Mingbei, her tone carrying a hint of smugness.

"He's amazing. He landed two roles right after starting university—a TV series and a movie—and both were important parts!"

In terms of screen time, Mingbei's two roles are probably more significant than most of the roles Wan Qian has played before!

Wan Qian was slightly surprised when she heard this, but when she saw the other person's face, she felt that it seemed quite reasonable.

In essence, appearance matters in any era.

Wan Qian smiled slightly, "Junior, you're quite impressive. You've already achieved so much at such a young age. It seems you'll soon have a place in the entertainment industry!"

Mingbei humbly replied, "No, no, I still need to learn diligently from all the seniors to improve my acting skills!"

Putting everything else aside, these stage actors have top-notch on-the-spot reaction abilities because they can't afford to make mistakes on stage.

After making a mistake, you can quickly cover it up so that the audience can't see the problem.

Mingbei has a significant lack of experience in this area.

After exchanging a few words, Xiao Di prepared to pull Ming Bei away, as it wouldn't be good to bother them for too long.

However, before leaving, Mingbei suddenly looked at Wan Qian and asked,

"I think I heard that you're pretty good at games?"

"No, no," Wan Qian replied modestly this time.

"It's just for fun, I'm not that good!"

As she spoke, she looked at Mingbei with anticipation.

"So, you play World of Warcraft too, junior? Alliance or Horde?"

Mingbei was taken aback, then laughed.

"No, I play Warcraft!"
