Chang Li, the teacher of Chinese drama, stared at the handsome face on the screen and nodded frequently with great satisfaction.
What was playing on the TV was the video of the candidates performing a sketch during the third test.
There is a saying in later generations that "China Opera produces actors, and Nortel produces stars."
This sentence does not mean that actors from Nortel are inferior to those from China Theater.
It's because most of the actors from China Opera like to act in dramas, and most of the actors from Nortel appear on the big and small screens.
Drama can better reflect professional abilities and has great influence in the industry, but its popularity and influence in the outside world are far inferior to that of film and television.
Movies, in particular, have international influence.
Therefore, while the Chinese Theater Arts Examination focuses on the candidates' stage performance, it also pays more attention to whether the candidates are photogenic.
There was a former candidate named Zhang Ziyin who attracted Chang Li's special attention.
There is also a guy named Liu Huohua who is also very good.
The footage shot by the acting students of China Theater Academy still had two brushes.
The camera moves from far to near, from full body to close-up.
"It's so photogenic from the side, with no blind spots at 360 degrees. With this angular face alone, you can shoot a movie... And just looking at him alone, his acting skills don't seem to be bad..."
Chang Li held her eyes, the more she admired it, the more she felt this way.
…..
"Why are you assigned to a sketch with this guy?" When Liu Hao saw that the candidate who acted with him in the double sketch was Megatron, he felt extremely depressed.
"You're not from Nortel, so why did you appear in the art test of China National Theater?"
In fact, Liu Hao and Gao Yuanyuan both took the Nortel art exam before and passed.
After all, he is "talented and beautiful".
So Liu Hao, who stayed until the end, recognized all the stars of Nortel's Class 96, such as Xiao Ming, Chen Changhua, Yan Dancheng...
After passing Nortel's art exam, the Chinese Opera's art exam became less important than before.
In Liu Hao's opinion, as long as he can learn acting, he will be the same at China National Theater and Nortel.
Although I am slightly inclined towards the Chinese drama, I think it is more reliable.
Liu Hao's eldest brother is from the Chinese Theater Academy, and the senior brother Wang Qianyuan who is looking for Liu Hao is also from the Chinese Theater Academy. At this time, it would be a bit unreasonable not to take the Chinese Theater Arts Examination.
There were two star classes in the 1996 class in later generations. Now that I have met the stars from the 1996 class of Nortel, I am even more curious about the other star class of the 1996 class in China Drama.
So together with Gao Yuanyuan, I took the art exam for the Chinese Drama Theater.
This time I feel much more relaxed, after all I have a guarantee.
But Liu Hao also wanted to compare with the stars of the Chinese Opera, so he kept his energy and showed the greatest sincerity in the art test.
But everything did not go as smoothly as Liu Hao imagined.
During the second audition for the Chinese drama, Gao Yuanyuan was rejected.
It was actually brushed down.
Liu Hao cursed in his heart that he was "blind" in the drama.
Gao Yuanyuan was able to pass Nortel's art exam, why couldn't the Chinese drama actor pass it?
Why else could it be that China National Theater and Nortel have different admissions ideas?
In Nortel admissions, more emphasis is placed on the candidate's appearance and temperament, handsome appearance, and good looks. Even if the professional ability is not good, there is still a high chance of being selected.
Moreover, the commercials shot by Gao Yuanyuan were broadcast on TV one after another, and she gradually became famous.
In Nortel's view, this is an even more important plus point.
It is reasonable to pass Nortel's art exam.
What about Chinese drama?
Since the enrollment reform has been carried out this time, dancers and opera actors are allowed to take the Chinese Opera Art Examination, which means that in fact, the Chinese Opera will be more inclined to dancers and opera actors when selecting students.
In later generations, most of the so-called "Eight Golden Hairpins" of Chinese Opera 96 were dancers or opera actors.
And some of Gao Yuanyuan's temperaments are similar to them. Under the same conditions, she can't compete with them.
In addition, Gao Yuanyuan's professional ability is not good enough.
Yes, it’s not possible!
From that day Gao Yuanyuan agreed to take the art exam with Liu Hao, there was not much time left before the art exam.
That is more than ten days.
So Liu Hao found his senior brother Wang Qianyuan and took action himself...
It's not that the effect is remarkable, it can only be said that the effect is close to zero.
Coupled with Gao Yuanyuan's talent...no talent.
I'm pretty lucky to have passed Nortel's art exam.
But after passing Nortel's art exam first, and then being rejected by China Drama, the result is very depressing.
Although Gao Yuanyuan was quite optimistic, she did not let Liu Hao coax her for a long time.
Only then did it happen that that day, outside the examination room for the third test of the Chinese Opera, Liu Haohui was alone and happened to meet Zeng Li, who had a stomachache due to food poisoning.
At this time, Megatron was still very immature, and his big, watery eyes were very spiritual. He looked innocent with his eyes open.
But the more Liu Hao looked at it, the more he felt like a little blood flower from someone named Liu in later generations.
I don’t know why Brother Xiao Ming fell madly in love with her as soon as he met her.
It's the same in this life.
Whenever Liu Hao thinks of the bad things about this later generation, whether they are true or false, if he doesn't say he likes them very much, he can only feel extremely disgusted.
Whoever you choose is better than her!
Obviously there are so many beauties, many of them beautiful and spiritual.
The partners for the skit are randomly assigned. As a candidate, Liu Hao does not have the right to substitute.
You can't just pick things up and refuse to do them.
I can only endure it.
Liu Hao's performance skit is about lovers breaking up at a train station. The candidates can freely design and play the content and lines themselves, and have twenty minutes of preparation time.
Not only being a partner, but also playing a lover, Liu Hao felt even more disgusted.
"A real man can bend and stretch, and the sketch only lasts a few minutes..."
Liu Hao continued to endure it.
I just hope that the person in front of me doesn't act like a monster now.
In order to perform a good skit, Liu Hao's attitude when discussing with her was still okay.
Because Megatron has acted in "Sisters and Sisters" before, let alone TV, as long as she has been on TV, other students will feel like a star to her.
In addition, Megatron had studied acting systematically before and was quite experienced. When facing Liu Hao, he always looked arrogant with his nostrils turned upward and thought about the content of his sketches.
"We are doing this, you listen to me! I have filmed TV series... I don't want you to think it, but I want it..."
He had a commanding tone, not caring whether Liu Hao could accept it or not, and did not consider Liu Hao's suggestions and feelings at all.
"It turns out that Xiao Ming learned it from you..."
It was unbearable. Liu Hao, who didn't like her himself, couldn't stand her attitude and felt there was no need to continue acting.
In the end, there was a fierce quarrel with Megatron.
"Let's improvise..."
No agreement was reached, and it was time to prepare for the skit.
You can only go on stage and express yourself freely.
"Let's see if I can't kill you..." Looking at Megatron who still looked arrogant, Liu Hao said fiercely in his heart.
Tang's acting rules: Don't give up the right to speak to your opponent, the drama is stolen from you!
The two people were facing each other on the stage, looking at each other from a distance as if they were looking at each other affectionately.
Megatron discovered that Liu Hao was not looking into his eyes at all.
Look at the air above you.
He wasn't looking at the air, he was just treating Megatron as air. Liu Hao's eyes were actually looking at...
Zeng Li.
Speaking of Zeng Li, Liu Hao had a very good impression of her.
Maybe it's the memories of her in later generations.
Maybe it's because I like her appearance very much.
There are also songs that suddenly come to her mind.
The two songs "The New Drunken Concubine" and "In Our Singing" sung by Liu Hao in the second and third auditions of the Chinese Opera came from her.
This is the second girl besides Gao Yuanyuan that Liu Hao has had this happen to.
"Treat me like air? Forget it. Don't be angry. Whatever he does, I just act like myself..."
Megatron brewed his emotions for a while, followed the script he had just designed, and was about to speak, "Today..."
"I have known how to protect myself since I was a child. I know that if I want to avoid being rejected by others, I have to reject others first..."
"?" Megatron opened his eyes wide and acted confused, unable to react for a moment.
"You are... not following the script at all. Are you deliberately causing trouble..." Megatron reacted and was furious in his heart.
Liu Hao didn't give Megatron any time to reflect, and blurted out another large line of dialogue.
"There is a person, although I like her very much, but I never tell her, or even reject her, because I know that what I can't get is always the best. Only by deceiving others can I deceive myself...
The difficulty is to give yourself the best explanation...
The best thing is always what you want to get..."
Liu Hao said a large number of lines that he didn't understand at all. Megatron's train of thought was completely disrupted. Even if he had the chance to speak, Megatron no longer knew what lines to say in response.
I can only feel helpless and furious inside, and act innocent with my eyes wide open.
"I once heard someone say that when you are no longer hugging others, the only thing you can do is to hug others once and don't let yourself forget the last hug..."
Megatron didn't say a single line, but suddenly he felt as if he was being overwhelmed by a mountain, and was hugged by Liu Hao, who had finished saying a lot of lines.
"You're strangling me, let me go..." Megatron was choked so hard that he couldn't breathe, and he stamped his feet anxiously.
The two people's non-confrontational performances made it difficult for people to understand what they were actually doing. Naturally, the teachers present at the Chinese Theater Company shook their heads.
But fortunately, the director teacher who was doing photography work on the side with a camera liked Liu Hao's lines and the tone of the performance very much.
Finally, a partial close-up of Liu Hao's face was made.
There are only so many close-up scenes of Liu Hao in the videotape.
"It's not looking at the profile of the camera, the language of shaking the camera...it seems a bit like Wang's sunglasses." A teacher who is familiar with movies said meaningfully, touching his chin.
The words were astonishing. Chang Li took another look at the lines spoken by Liu Hao. Together with the performance, they seemed to be in line with the theme of the sketch...
The more you taste it, the more flavorful and artistic it becomes.
"By the way, what this kid is performing is artistic conception."
"This Megatron doesn't look as spiritual as in the TV series. If he is paired with a partner who is willing to cooperate, this boy will definitely be able to perform better..."
"Definitely a rare seedling."
…
Chang Li checked Liu Hao's name on the list in her hand and crossed out Megatron's name.
She will be the class teacher of Class 96 of Chinese Opera and is qualified to decide the final candidate.
….
At that time, Liu Hao just wanted to play against Megatron and it would be fun for him, but he didn't think so much.
Seeing the confused look on the examiner's face after the performance, and the helpless smile on his face, Liu Hao understood immediately.
There is basically no hope of passing.
It's a pity that my previous performance was so perfect, whether it was the first test, the retest, or other parts of the third test.
Finally, I fell at the last hurdle of the skit.
But Liu Hao only had some regrets and had nothing to be depressed about.
Anyway, I have already taken the art test of the Chinese Opera, but even if I passed it, I can submit it to my eldest brother.
If you can't pass the art test of China National Opera, you can still go to Nortel to study with Gao Yuanyuan, which is also very good.
"It's really hard to make a decision after this."
Not long after, my family received a call from China Television.
It was Teacher Chang Li who called in person.
"You've passed? Can you pass this?"
"Then should I choose China Theater Company or Nortel?"
