"Going to the theater every day?" Su Ze's eyes lit up. Other benefits didn't matter. Being able to watch performances often, let alone free of charge, was worth the money.
"Hey, our performance department is one of the majors with the most practical activities. Especially after the junior year, you basically don't stay in school."
After showing the photos, Fang Yingying sighed: "As a rule, freshmen and sophomores are not allowed to take on roles. Of course, we ordinary students don't have the resources to take on roles. After all, there are only two or three who are already famous."
"Actually, going to college is pretty much the same. Some people work hard every day, and some just hang around all day. How you spend the four years is entirely up to you."
Seeing that it was almost universal, Liu Tianyi said, "You will get used to the specific situation when school starts. Are there any other majors that you would like to ask me about?"
"I want to know what senior sister feels most about acting?" Su Ze was the first to ask: "In other words, what has improved the most in China Drama?"
"It should be empathy." Fang Yingying pondered for a moment and said: "That is the action analysis that Stanney's performance system emphasizes."
"Even if the character is a bad guy, there must be a reason why he became bad, right?"
"By constantly analyzing the character's heart and thinking about the problem from the character's perspective, to put it bluntly, it means thinking from the other person's perspective. This should be the biggest gain for me from China Drama."
"Yes, a university is a small society, and society is also a big school." Liu Tianyi interjected: "That is the world, not heaven or Elysium."
"As long as you are in the world, there will be all kinds of people, all kinds of ups and downs, laughter and tears. You may meet all kinds of people around you, but the final result is what you choose."
"If you choose to work hard and sweat, you will be rewarded. If you choose to escape from being a gangster, you will be confused and lost. Everything depends on who you want to be."
Perhaps Fang Yingying's words touched a certain nerve in Liu Tianyi, who said frankly: "Chinese Opera is a school with a strong tradition, especially in the core major of acting, directing and writing. The training is relatively conservative."
"Sometimes you may even learn the hard way, complaining about too many rules?"
"But when I really learned it, I was very grateful for the training that year, because I had a solid foundation."
"Teachers pay attention to the dignity of being a teacher, especially the old professors. They pay attention to rules and regulations in rehearsing plays and don't like to take wild tricks."
"Yes, I feel the same is true for students. On the surface they are very harmonious, and they call each other "brother and younger brother", but in fact they are all comparing themselves to each other behind the scenes."
Fang Yingying continued: "I heard that graduate students are more cruel. If you want to graduate, you must put on a big show, but public resources are limited, so you must show your strength and hard work to prove that you can put on a big show."
"After all, tutors also care about face." Liu Tianyi hummed, "Whoever's students don't rehearse well will not have the chance to enter the theater to meet the audience. I can't afford to embarrass that person!"
"Ruthless competition forces you to grow up and learn to meet the requirements of a mature creator in advance. A bachelor's degree is okay, after all, you are still just a child, do you understand?"
"Don't just talk about the acting department, take the directing department as an example. There are at least two directing assignments every semester. From handing over ideas to rehearsing on the field to returning to class to managing, every assignment has to be peeled off."
"This is just my directing assignment, and I also have to act as an actor for my classmates. You know, in order to hand in my assignment, I had a severe cold the next day and had intravenous infusions, and I was ready until four o'clock in the middle of the night."
"One person moved the four large pillars used for scenery from the twelfth row to the fourth row, and then moved them from the second floor to the basement. It was common to grab the rehearsal room. Who doesn't have homework waiting for rehearsal?"
I felt so good after complaining. When I saw Hu Lei and Zhao Yuncheng turning pale, they coughed lightly and quickly added: "Of course, the teacher is doing this for your own good!"
"Drama is a niche major, and its social influence is not as good as that of movies and TV series. The circle is smaller, but the information resources are therefore more concentrated."
"You have almost all channels in Chinese opera, Chinese arts, major opera festivals, youth opera festivals, operas, operas, etc., so you will naturally have more opportunities to watch operas."
"The most common discussions among the students around me are the recently watched plays. There is also a fixed time for discussion in class. Knowing what I think is the best tradition in Chinese opera teaching?"
“Encourage students to speak freely!”
"Looking at Fang Yingying, the senior sister had to quickly praise: "Yes, yes, every time we have a small class, the instructor will first throw out a topic and a play, and every student has to speak."
“If you don’t have something to say when you speak, it will definitely show your timidity. It doesn’t work if you don’t have vision. It doesn’t work if you have vision and you can’t express it clearly. The opinions are exciting and inspiring.”
"When I first started, I had words on my lips a lot, racking my brains and not knowing how to express them. In the end, the instructor spoke clearly in a few words. This is my level!"
After finally sending Teacher Tianyi away, Hu Lei found an opportunity to secretly pull Fang Yingying aside. She blushed and muttered: "Sister Yingying is in the show, are you not allowed to fall in love?"
"Yo? That's okay!" Fang Yingying teased: "There are people there just after entering college?"
"No, no!" Hu Lei quickly glanced at Su Ze who was not far away, and whispered: "No, just asking casually."
Fang Yingying was not stupid. She saw what the elementary school girl was thinking and said seriously: "No!"
"Can't?" Hu Lei's pretty face turned pale, and she was instantly lost.
"Oh, I lied to you!" Fang Yingying didn't expect the girl to react so strongly, and said quickly: "You can find whoever you want to find, and it doesn't matter if you find a few more."
"No one cares about you!"
Liu Tianyi took Su Ze to the office alone, sat down and chatted: "School starts in half a month, are you ready?"
"Thank you, teacher, for your careful guidance!" Su Ze's face was full of sincerity. He had felt the teacher's careful teachings over the past year. This favor must be recorded.
"You are the student brought out by me, Liu Tianyi!" Liu Tianyi said happily: "You are also my most promising potential stock."
"It doesn't matter whether it's a favor or an investment, you just have to remember one thing."
"Whenever you need something, call Teacher Tianyi!"
Seeing that Su Ze still wanted to talk, he waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about something else. Do you know the three major performance schools? Which path do you feel you are taking?"
"This?" Su Ze didn't know why he asked this. He pondered for a moment and hesitated: "To be fair, I feel that I am neither an experientialist nor a methodist. I should be..."
"Expressionist?" Liu Tianyi was not surprised when he heard this answer. Instead, he encouraged: "It's okay, just say everything in your heart."
Su Ze straightened his back and said seriously: "I feel that the experiential school and even the method school are a bit out of reach, or that's the case for me now!"
"Especially for the experience school, everyone knows that the most natural performance is to get into the heart of the character, and every move, every smile is impeccable, but how many can do it?"
