Chapter 68 Acting Class
At that moment, Fang Zheng's eyes lit up.
She had seen Jiang Songchu's photos and videos, but she was even more beautiful in person than in the photos.
Her fresh and refined temperament and delicate features make people want to get closer.
Fang Zheng thought to herself: This girl is so pretty, I really want to get close to such a beauty!
Jiang Songchu also carefully examined Fang Zheng.
She was about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, and she gave off a very different vibe.
You can't describe her temperament or appearance with specific words, but the first time you see her, you feel as if she is yourself or one of your good friends.
"That's the charm of an actor!" Jiang Songchu thought to himself.
"Hello, my name is Fang Zheng, not 'Kite'! It's Fang Zheng!"
Fang Zheng greeted Jiang Songchu with a smile.
Jiang Songchu chuckled at her humor and quickly grasped her hand in return.
"Hello, Teacher Fang, I am Jiang Songchu. Please give me your guidance!"
Oman chimed in with a laugh.
"Chu Chu, Teacher Fang is really amazing. Don't let her young age fool you—she graduated with a doctorate in performing arts from the Kyoto Academy of Dramatic Arts!"
"Teacher Fang not only enjoys teaching her students acting, but she also occasionally acts in movies and TV series! Without exception, she has received very positive feedback!"
Jiang Songchu's eyes widened upon hearing this; she was well aware of the reputation of the Kyoto Academy of Dramatic Arts' acting program in China.
I never expected that Fang Zheng actually graduated with a doctorate in this major from this school!
She couldn't help but admire Fang Zheng even more.
Fang Zheng then said, feigning smugness, "That's right!"
Then he waved his hand with a smile and said, "But only you, Oman, would joke with me like that! Haha!"
Her smile was natural, generous, and confident, yet it didn't make anyone feel any unpleasantness or offense.
Amidst laughter and cheers, everyone burst into laughter, as if all their troubles had been swept away by the sound of their laughter.
After the joke, Fang Zheng gently raised one eyebrow and asked with a gentle expression, "Songchu, are you ready? We're about to begin today's lesson!"
Jiang Songchu took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slightly, her eyes sparkling with a mixture of nervousness and excitement, and nodded vigorously.
"Yes, Ms. Fang Zheng, I am ready to meet the challenge."
Fang Zheng smiled and reassured the nervous Jiang Songchu. Then, her demeanor suddenly changed, as if she were a completely different person.
“Songchu, let’s play a fun little game first and see how you react.”
Fang Zheng's voice carried a hint of cunning.
"I'm going to imitate your agent, Sister Chen Yun. You can judge whether my imitation is good or not."
Jiang Songchu's eyes widened instantly. Looking at her, she seemed completely different from Fang Zheng. Curious and shocked, she exclaimed, "Really? Teacher Fang Zheng, you're going to imitate Sister Yun?!"
Fang Zheng took a deep breath, as if she had concentrated all her emotions into this moment.
The atmosphere in the rehearsal room instantly became quiet, as if the air itself had frozen.
Her eyes became sharp and firm, a professional smile appeared on her lips, and her posture became more upright, as if she had truly become Chen Yun.
She began to imitate Chen Yun's unique speaking speed and tone, as well as her signature gestures and movements, capturing every detail perfectly.
"Songchu, you really need to study this script carefully. This role could be your comeback!"
Fang Zheng imitated Chen Yun's tone, every word revealing the professionalism and meticulousness of an agent, as if she were really planning for Jiang Songchu's future.
Jiang Songchu looked at Fang Zheng in front of him and felt as if he really saw Chen Yun standing in front of him.
She was surprised to find that Fang Zheng not only imitated Chen Yun perfectly, but also perfectly captured Chen Yun's unique sense of urgency and professionalism, which was simply unbelievable.
"Wow, Teacher Fang Zheng, your imitation is so perfect! You're just like Sister Yun herself!"
Jiang Songchu stared in disbelief, repeatedly exclaiming in amazement.
Fang Zheng laughed heartily, stopped imitating, and returned to her usual self.
He then walked over to Jiang Songchu, gently patted her shoulder, and spoke in an encouraging tone.
"This is just the beginning, Songchu. This is the charm of acting."
"Acting is about learning to observe and imitate, so that you can better understand the character and immerse yourself in the role."
"In the world of acting, I can be any character and experience their life, joys and sorrows. You can do it too, as long as you feel it with your heart."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Songchu felt a surge of inexplicable excitement.
Fang Zheng saw the light in Jiang Songchu's eyes, and her eyes revealed a smile.
This young girl has the potential to become an excellent actress, because the affection in Jiang Songchu's eyes is unmistakable.
She then shifted the topic to the role of Chi Jiangli, who was about to audition, and the atmosphere in the rehearsal room immediately became more focused and tense.
Fang Zheng's voice was bright and melodious. She gave a detailed account of Chi Jiangli's complex background and inner conflicts, vividly depicting every detail.
Jiang Songchu listened intently, as if he were truly in Chi Jiangli's world, experiencing her joys and sorrows, her ups and downs.
"Songchu, what do you think is the most difficult aspect of portraying the character Chi Jiangli?"
Fang Zheng suddenly asked, her voice carrying an interrogative tone.
Jiang Songchu thought for a moment and replied seriously, "I think it's an inner conflict."
"Chi Jiangli is both strong and fragile, both yearning for affection and afraid of getting hurt."
"These complex emotional changes are difficult to grasp and require careful observation and understanding."
Fang Zheng nodded in agreement.
“You’re right. The character of Chi Jiangli is indeed very difficult to portray.”
"However, as long as you try to understand her inner world, you can find out her emotional state."
"Come on, let's analyze her key events and emotional changes again."
Fang Zheng patiently analyzed the impact of each event on the formation of Chi Jiangli's personality, opening a door for Jiang Songchu to the depths of the character's heart.
To help Jiang Songchu immerse herself more deeply in the role of Chi Jiangli, Fang Zheng employed a variety of methods.
She asked Jiang Songchu to close her eyes and imagine herself as Chi Jiangli, experiencing every scene in the script.
"Songchu, now you need to know that you are Chi Jiangli."
"You stand in a vast, empty mountain wilderness, surrounded by darkness and silence."
“You feel lonely and helpless… but remember, you are Chi Jiangli, and you have your own strength and courage.”
Fang Zheng's voice was soft yet powerful, echoing in Jiang Songchu's ears.
Jiang Songchu closed her eyes, trying hard to feel the scene Fang Zheng described.
She felt as if she were truly in a vast, empty wilderness, surrounded by endless darkness and silence, and a sense of loneliness and helplessness welled up inside her.
