Chapter 110 Ji Qing, Xu Liu, and Yi Fei, you two come out here.
After observing Nie Yuan's expression, the agent cautiously asked, "You mean Ji Qingxu is very likely to compete for this role?"
Nie Yuan scoffed, "Is there any need to doubt it? This drama has Ciwen's investment, and he's an artist under Ciwen. Does Ciwen not promote him?"
The agent looked puzzled. "Why would Director Zhang accept our invitation? He doesn't need the meal, does he?"
Hearing this, Nie Yuan was also stunned, and said uncertainly, "Could it be that Director Zhang didn't like him?"
The agent hesitated, then said, "His portrayal of Luo Cheng and Zhang Danfeng is said to have received very positive feedback..."
Seeing Nie Yuan's face darken, the agent immediately realized that he had almost forgotten that these two roles might have originally been for Nie Yuan. So the agent quickly said, "Could it be that Director Zhang has a falling out with Ciwen, so he doesn't want to use him? After all, Ciwen may be strong, but Director Zhang is backed by Huaxia Audiovisual Group. Director Zhang is not afraid of Ciwen."
Hearing this, Nie Yuan's expression softened. "Perhaps so. You should go and inquire about it carefully."
"it is good."
While the casting process for "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was in full swing, Ji Qingxu was leisurely attending classes and rehearsing for a play at school.
"Liu Yifei!"
Hearing Ji Qingxu call her by her full name, Liu Yifei, who was rehearsing, frowned and cautiously looked at Ji Qingxu, asking, "What's wrong?"
"Haven't you ever cried?"
Seeing Ji Qingxu staring at her expressionlessly, Liu Yifei chuckled awkwardly, "You cried, didn't I cry well just now?"
"That's totally fake! Do you think shedding a couple of tears counts as crying?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei's expression turned extremely awkward, and she pursed her lips tightly, remaining silent.
The people nearby noticed this and exchanged glances, but no one said anything.
"Look at me."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Ji Qingxu, only to see him gazing at Liu Yifei with deep affection, tears streaming down his face, an aura of sorrow instantly washing over them.
Seeing this, Zhu Yawen and the others twitched at the corners of their mouths, thinking to themselves, "Damn, this is a monster, his state can change in an instant."
Liu Yifei widened her eyes and covered her mouth, amazed.
"Did you feel it?"
Upon hearing Ji Qingxu's question, Liu Yifei nodded and then shook her head.
Seeing Ji Qingxu frown, Liu Yifei quickly said, "I felt it, but I haven't figured it out yet. You're too amazing. I can't learn it."
"6
Seeing Ji Qingxu's helplessness, Zhu Yawen spoke up, "Qingxu, let alone Yifei, none of us can learn from you. Your acting skills are far superior to ours. Why don't you explain it to us in detail so we can learn from you?"
Seeing that the others nodded in agreement with Zhu Yawen's words, Ji Qingxu looked at everyone with amusement, wiped away her tears, and said, "Alright, then I'll talk about it. We won't go into the major schools of acting, since you've all studied them. Domestic theatrical acting is mainly based on Stanislavski, which is the method acting school. It requires us to immerse ourselves in the character and become the character. The reason you can't be like me is because you're not immersed enough; you have a sense of detachment, understand?"
Seeing Liu Yifei raise her hand, Ji Qingxu asked, "What's the problem?"
While observing Ji Qingxu's expression, Liu Yifei said, "What if we can't get over it? Will it affect our future performance style?"
Hearing this, Ji Qingxu was immediately amused. "Style? Little beauty Yifei, you're not that old, but you've got quite the ambition."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei couldn't help but retort, "Am I wrong? As actors, we definitely need to have our own style; we can't all be the same."
"Clap clap clap!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Qingxu started clapping. Liu Yifei's face turned bright red instantly, and she was somewhat at a loss for words.
Seeing Liu Yifei's somewhat uncomfortable expression, Ji Qingxu smiled and said, "That's right, you're right. We actors all need to have our own style. That's our goal as actors. But there's a prerequisite: our acting skills must have reached an excellent level. We can play any role convincingly. Once we reach that level, we can combine our own characteristics to form our own unique style and charm. Have we reached that level yet?"
Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads in unison.
"You see, you all know you're not here, and of course, I'm not here either. So, for now, our performance should still focus on the characters. Before performing, you need to thoroughly understand the plot and the characters. During the performance, you can appropriately add some of your own interpretations, but don't try to learn everything at once. There are no shortcuts in acting unless you're exceptionally talented, blessed by God, or have a natural talent. So, when performing, you need to understand the character you're going to play well, figure it out thoroughly, and don't just act however you want, understand?"
"Understood! ×6"
"First Consort, you haven't truly grasped the character of Fourth Princess. It's not enough to just memorize her background and lines; you have to immerse yourself in her. Imagine yourself as Fourth Princess, what kind of mentality do you have, and what are your thoughts when you deliver those lines? Do you understand?"
Liu Yifei nodded her head quickly, "Understood!"
"Do you really understand?"
Seeing Ji Qingxu raise an eyebrow, Liu Yifei shyly gestured with one finger, "I understand a little bit."
Ji Qingxu nodded slightly, "It's good that you understand. Take your time and continue rehearsing."
After returning to her dormitory after rehearsal, Liu Yifei sat down in a chair and breathed a big sigh of relief.
Oh my god, I'm so tired.
"Sisi, do you think Qingxu is being too strict?"
Upon hearing Jiang Yiyan's question, Liu Yifei instinctively replied, "A little."
After saying that, Liu Yifei immediately realized what he meant and shook her head. "Being strict is good; I think I can learn a lot from it. Papa, do you think he's too strict?"
Seeing Liu Yifei looking at her with a puzzled expression, Jiang Yiyan blinked and smiled, saying, "I feel the same way as you, that I can learn a lot from this."
Hearing this, Liu Yifei chuckled, then whispered, "Actually, he's really strict. I'm even a little afraid of him. Papa, don't you think Wolong is a lot like a teacher?"
Jiang Yiyan said with a smile, "A little. He has a very strong personality. I've felt that after spending time with him these past few days."
"Yeah, I see that Zhu Yawen and the others can usually joke and laugh with him, but once we start rehearsing, they never joke or laugh. It's a good thing he's not our teacher, otherwise I think I might have been scolded to tears by him."
"You mean he speaks very directly and harshly?"
"It's alright, what he said was all true. Maybe he's too amazing and smart, and he thinks we're too stupid, so he wasn't so polite. Most importantly, what he said made a lot of sense, and after pointing out our mistakes, he even taught us how to correct them. Wow, he hasn't been in school for very long, how come he's so amazing?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yiyan sighed and a hint of envy appeared in her eyes. "Maybe Qingxu is the kind of person that teachers say is blessed with natural talent."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei also showed the same envious expression, "I wish I could be like him."
Jiang Yiyan glanced at Liu Yifei's youthful yet beautiful face and was somewhat speechless. "You are also blessed by God. Without this face, how could you have played so many film and television dramas and famous roles based on your acting skills?"
Jiang Yiyan felt a pang of jealousy. She was not bad-looking herself, but she was about to enter her junior year of college and had never acted in a well-known film or television drama.
Jiang Yiyan glanced at Liu Yifei, who was staring blankly, and subconsciously looked towards the boys' dormitory. What role is Ji Qingxu playing in his next drama?
Will I work with him on my next project?
Last weekend, Liu Yifei, who had dinner with director Zhang Jizong with her mother and godfather, subconsciously looked in the direction of the boys' dormitory. Liu Yifei remembered that her mother asked about the male lead at the time, and Zhang Jizong revealed that there were several candidates he liked, including Ji Qingxu.
If I were to actually work with him, would he look down on my acting skills?
Thinking of Ji Qingxu's excellent acting skills and strong personality, Liu Yifei couldn't help but wrinkle her nose. However, she thought that if Ji Qingxu really succeeded in the audition and played the role of Yang Guo, then he would have to call her aunt. If he dared to scold her, then she would make him call her aunt.
Thinking of this, Liu Yifei couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Giggle!"
"Sissi, what are you laughing at?"
"Hehe, it's nothing. Do you want to take a shower?"
"You go wash up first, I'll rest for a while."
"Okay, I'll go wash up first."
"Um."
The next day, during class, the homeroom teacher, Wang Chunzhi, suddenly appeared at the classroom door.
"Ji Qingxu, Liu Yifei, you two come out here for a moment."
Upon hearing his name called, Ji Qingxu glanced at Liu Yifei, who looked completely bewildered, and then got up and walked out amidst the mixed and complicated gazes of the other classmates.
Once outside the classroom, Wang Chunzhi gestured, "Go to my office."
Upon hearing this, Ji Qingxu smiled and said, "Teacher, is there some good news you want to share with us?"
Wang Chunzhi glanced at Ji Qingxu with a smile, "I don't know if it's a good thing or not, but Director Zhang Jizong is looking for you two."
Upon hearing this name, Ji Qingxu had a few thoughts flashing through her mind. Could it be that Zhang Dahuzi had brought a group of reporters to find her? Or was he trying to drag her and Liu Yifei into the hype surrounding "The Return of the Condor Heroes"?
Glancing at Liu Yifei, who stood calmly beside him, Ji Qingxu raised an eyebrow. This girl must be as certain as he was, right? Otherwise, she wouldn't be so composed, given her acting skills.
Goodbye, Director Zhang! ×2
"goodbye!"
Watching Zhang Jizong wave his hand and walk out of the school, Ji Qingxu glanced around casually and caught a glimpse of a person holding a camera in the distance. A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.
Just now, after Ji Qingxu and Liu Yifei arrived at Wang Chunzhi's office, they met Zhang Daxuzi. As soon as they met, Zhang Daxuzi suggested that he talk to Ji Qingxu and Liu Yifei alone. So, led by Zhang Daxuzi, the three of them walked and talked on campus. The content of their conversation was very vague and boring, just like chatting about everyday things.
"Sleeping Dragon!"
"What's wrong?"
"you...
""
Seeing Liu Yifei cautiously glancing around with a mysterious air, Ji Qingxu chuckled and asked, "Are you going to share your little secret with me?"
Liu Yifei nodded her head, covered her mouth, and whispered, "Um, did Director Zhang give you any hints?"
Ji Qingxu smiled and shook her head. "No. Did he give you a hint?"
Liu Yifei nodded subconsciously, then immediately shook her head. "No, no, no hint, it's just that... um, good luck!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Qingxu couldn't help but smile. This girl was practically saying it outright.
"Okay, I'll do my best, and you do your best too."
"Uh-huh."
"Let's go back to the classroom."
"it is good."
Liu Yifei glanced at Ji Qingxu beside her, feeling somewhat troubled. However, remembering her mother and Director Zhang's previous reminders, she sighed helplessly. She couldn't say anything before it was officially announced to the public.
Hearing Liu Yifei's sigh, Ji Qingxu smiled slightly, wondering how the girl would react when she saw him on set.
But this girl is really adorably clueless; anyone else, like Fan Xiaopang, would have definitely guessed it.
