A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 144 The Charming Chen Hao

"Teacher, are you Chen?" Chen Jinnian asked in a tentative tone.

Chen Hao debuted very early, or to put it another way, Chen Jinnian had just started to remember things at the beginning of the new millennium when Chen Hao was at her most popular. And since she got married in 10, she has been in a semi-retired state.

The most memorable role she played recently was Diao Chan in "The New Three Kingdoms" five years ago. No one expected that someone among the students in this high school could recognize her.

Chen Hao smiled, adjusted his glasses and said, "Yes, you were looking at me just now, did you recognize me?"

"Haha, I wasn't sure just now, but as soon as you opened your mouth, I knew I was right."

Chen Jinnian also guessed that his impression of Chen Hao was still stuck on the role of "heartthrob". After so many years, he was actually not quite sure.

Especially since the other person was wearing glasses, not wearing much makeup, and looked much older than before.

This is also related to the fact that he has not paid much attention to the Central Academy of Drama. If he had known more about it, he would have known that Chen Hao was admitted to the graduate school of the Central Academy of Drama in 10, and after graduation he stayed at the school to become a teacher in the acting department.

"Chen Jinnian." Pan Shuai lowered his voice and called out, "Give me the things and go back and sit down."

After hearing the reminder, he knew that now was not the time to strike up a conversation, so he quickly handed over the folder and ran back to the seat that Wang Yidi had reserved for him.

After he returned, Pan Shuai took on the role of host and introduced the goal of organizing this exchange meeting to the students, while also focusing on introducing two teachers from the Central Academy of Drama.

While applauding, Chen Jinnian looked back a few times. There were many more people coming today than he expected. There were a total of 23 people on the scene.

This ratio is very high. Ordinary schools simply do not have so many art students taking exams in the performing arts field.

After all, the acting majors of the Central Academy of Drama, Beijing Film Academy, Communication University of China and etc. combined only accept about 200 students, while the number of applicants is as high as tens of thousands. With such a low admission rate, the national examination becomes the only solution.

Even so, the acceptance rate is shockingly low.

Judging from the expression of interest he just sent out, except for him who applied for the major of drama and film directing, everyone else chose the major of acting.

After Pan Shuai finished his introduction, Yu Xin stood up and said, "Everyone, don't be nervous. Relax and show your strengths. We will make some suggestions based on your performance and our teaching experience. Of course, we are only teachers in the acting department and don't know much about other majors. If some of the suggestions are inappropriate, you can just use them as a reference and don't take them too seriously."

Then Yu Xin looked down at Principal Tang again and said, "Why don't we hurry up and start talking to students who want to apply for the acting major first, and then talk to students who want to apply for the other majors later."

"I'm just an outsider, don't worry about me, you decide." Principal Tang said politely.

Yu Xin smiled and nodded as she sat down, looking at everyone, "Who wants to be the first one to apply for the acting department?"

After she asked the question, everyone looked around. They didn't know the rules and didn't know what the teacher would ask. They would be at a disadvantage if they were the first to go up, so they were all a little hesitant.

Fang Yifan didn't think so much. He wanted to be the first to go up, but the form had not been finished yet, so he could only write it with tears in his eyes.

Pan Shuai stood up and put his chair in front of the four tables. He looked at everyone and said, "You are usually very active, why are you so listless now? Wang Yidi, come here now."

After saying that, he came over and helped Wang Yidi limp over, then sat in Wang Yidi's seat and gave a look to Chen Jinnian who was standing next to him. Chen Jinnian understood and gave an OK.

In fact, at this time, it is right to be the first one to go up. Even if Pan Shuai didn't say it just now, he would have put Wang Yidi up first.

This is not an exam. On the contrary, it is a communication meeting to find out students' problems and talents. Whoever goes up first will receive more attention, and the teacher will be more attentive.

The latter ones, after learning from the experience of their predecessors, hid the areas that should have been problems. In addition, the teacher would not be as careful as he was with the first one, so they missed the areas that should have been improved.

Yu Xin glanced at the form Wang Yidi submitted, then handed it to Chen Hao. "Wang Yidi, right? Don't be nervous. We're just chatting. But let's not talk about professional matters first. Let me ask you first, have you had plastic surgery on your face?"

"No, no," Wang Yidi shook his head repeatedly.

"What about your height? 172.5cm. Are you barefoot or wearing shoes?" Yu Xin asked.

"Bare feet."

"My height is a bit of a disadvantage, but fortunately boys nowadays are taller, so it's not too bad."

Yu Xin was right. Wang Yidi's height was indeed a hidden danger. Generally, the height of an actress should be between 160cm and 168cm. If it exceeds that by too much, it would become very troublesome to act with her.

This is also the reason why the official height of a tall actress is only 168 cm.

Because mainstream male actors with good acting skills are generally no taller than 180cm, and because male actors have long careers, the age span of their roles is also very large, which allows them to monopolize the roles in many dramas.

The young male actors of the new generation are all very tall, and those below 180cm are considered short. But as for their acting skills, they can only get by in ancient costume dramas that others don’t want. It will take several years or even more than ten years of honing their acting skills before they can make a breakthrough.

The opposite is true for actresses. Those in their twenties and those in their thirties and forties are all competing for the roles of those in their twenties. However, many dramas do not have much demand for the acting skills of the female lead, as long as she can act in love scenes.

In the current domestic market, there are very few dramas with strong female protagonists. All of them are romance dramas. If you play a doctor, you have to fall in love; if you play a lawyer, you have to fall in love; if you play a worker, you have to fall in love as well.

The actresses put all their energy into the love drama with a different skin, so when two generations of actresses compete at the same time, it is not certain who will win.

Wang Yidi is not a novice. She understands her problem, so after Yu Xin finished speaking, she lowered her head.

Then Yu Xin started talking about some things to pay attention to in the initial, secondary and third tests of the acting major. This was very practical content, and Wang Yidi remembered it very carefully.

Yu Xin wrote a few lines on Wang Yidi's application form, then raised her head and said, "The re-examination requires separate examinations for vocal music, body shape, speech, and performance. I see you have no problems with body shape and speech. How about this, you sing a cappella song and we'll listen."

"Teacher, is it okay to sing in a popular style?" Wang Yidi stood up and said.

"It's all fine. There's no limit to the singing style. I'm mainly interested in your vocal conditions."

After brewing her emotions for a while, Wang Yidi chose the song that Chen Jinnian gave her.

"The wish to grow up with me

Lend me half a wing

Fly with you to your dream place

Go with the wind and waves

I'll tell you what's in my heart

......"

Although the melody was not familiar, Wang Yidi's voice was clear and penetrating, as if he poured all his emotions into it, which made the students sitting below look unhappy.

This is more like a hammer.
