PNB Chapter 566 The Actor's Self-Cultivation!
Chapter 566 The Actor's Self-Cultivation!
As Xue Qingcheng spoke, she happened to be in her costume and gave a performance on the spot.
Previously, Awen was just an audience member watching from below the stage and didn't understand the intricacies of the situation.
But now, Xue Qingcheng is going to give a live performance.
The novel portrays Zhu Yingtai's carefree and lively nature from her first appearance through exaggerated actions and words, and later, her straightforwardness and naiveté as she interacts with her classmates at the academy...
Later, after falling in love with Liang Shanbo, she became shy and would secretly peek at him...
Finally, upon learning of Liang Shanbo's death, she screamed in despair.
Every movement and glance instantly draws the viewer into the story.
"See that? Actions, lines, eyes, and tone of voice—these are the core of acting! Each one is extremely important! You must be fully immersed in the role and completely take on the part!" After a brief demonstration, Xue Qingcheng looked at Awen and said.
"Sister Xue, I think I understand a little bit, but... being an actor is too hard." As she listened, Awen quickly took notes in her notebook, wiping the sweat from her brow from time to time, and looked at Xue Qingcheng with a pitiful expression.
Since joining Longcheng, she and her sister Xiaoli have been busy with their own lives.
Xiao Li went to the forging area and learned forging from Chu Ling Shuang and others.
As for Awen, she would come to the theater with Xue Qingcheng every day to watch her performance and learn how to act.
I originally thought that acting wouldn't be difficult, since I could change my appearance and act however I wanted.
However, she truly saw Xue Qingcheng break down all the movements and teach them to her.
At that moment, she wanted to imitate it.
But even if she could become exactly like Xue Qingcheng.
They couldn't capture the essence of Zhu Yingtai at all!
"Don't rush... take your time, everything takes time."
Xue Qingcheng had been so engrossed in her performance that beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She wiped them away, smiled, patted Awen's shoulder, and comforted her:
"I didn't know anything at first either, and it took me a long time to figure it out."
"But why is he different...?"
Upon hearing this, Awen pointed to the golden-haired monkey standing to the side.
As per Xiao Yu's request.
The Monkey King's brewing tasks have been reduced.
However, a lot of knowledge needs to be learned every day.
First, he learned to read, write, and speak by following Honglian, Xiaoyu, and other girls.
It has to be said that his IQ is really high now.
In just one or two days, I learned several hundred characters.
They have already learned basic interpersonal communication and writing.
Therefore, Xiao Yu had him learn acting from Xue Qingcheng...
Although Xue Qingcheng did not resist the city lord's decision to have a monkey learn acting from him, she initially did not take it to heart.
Awen even thought that this monkey was probably just there to make a joke.
However, both women now had flushed faces.
Simply because this monkey has a really strong learning ability.
Just now, when Xue Qingcheng performed for Awen, he had only watched the play once before, but he transformed into Liang Shanbo and acted out the scene with Xue Qingcheng.
Although his acting skills are still a bit immature, they are already quite good.
"Ahem, well..." Seeing that Monkey and Awen were both looking at her, Xue Qingcheng coughed and waved her hand to cover her embarrassment, saying, "He's a freak, you can't judge him by normal standards. Okay, let's continue..."
What followed was another round of earnest admonitions.
Throughout the entire process, Awen felt as if she were listening to gibberish.
After all, her father wasn't a high-ranking official before.
Although she learned to read, she only knew basic characters and her overall education level was very low.
It is indeed very stressful to make her learn such profound and mysterious knowledge now.
But... when she saw the little monkey next to her listening attentively to the lesson, with a look of sudden realization flashing in its eyes from time to time, it was also writing furiously.
Awen suddenly had a feeling.
The illusion that you are the worst student and the monkey is the best.
"No, I must try my best to catch up! I can't lose to a monkey!" With this thought, Awen's eyes burned with fighting spirit.
"Alright, that concludes today's lesson."
A moment later, Xue Qingcheng wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, touched her spatial bracelet, and a blue book appeared out of thin air in her hand. She handed one to Awen and the Monkey King, and said with a smile,
"Here you go! This book, 'An Actor's Cultivation,' was personally written by the City Lord. Take a good look at it when you have time. The City Lord said it contains life philosophies."
"Yes, thank you, Sister Xue. I will definitely try my best!" Awen nodded earnestly.
"Thank you, Miss Xue! I will try my best!" Monkey bowed respectfully.
"it is good."
Seeing the monkey's perfect cupped-hand salute, Xue Qingcheng smiled and nodded.
"How's your learning going?" At that moment, a hearty laugh rang out.
Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared out of thin air in the theater.
"Ah, Lord City Lord!" Upon seeing this figure, Awen immediately screamed excitedly.
When she learned that the play "The Butterfly Lovers" and "Journey to the West" were all written by the city lord himself, she was already extremely impressed by him. Now, after reading "The Actor's Craft," she was even more amazed.
"Lord City Lord, everyone has worked very hard and made great progress!"
Upon seeing Xiao Yu, Xue Qingcheng immediately bowed and greeted him with a smile.
The new Beyond band and the newly joined Zhao Lu also gathered around.
The shows in theaters are too monotonous now.
Therefore, after leaving the city of government offices, the number of performances at the theater decreased.
The original daily schedule has been changed to once every three days.
Although the frequency of performances has decreased, the theater's already declining popularity will plummet even further.
However, most of the time now is spent studying new plays.
The band is mainly responsible for the theme song and incidental music, while the production crew is responsible for the actors and rehearsals.
Once "Journey to the West" is officially published, it will surely be a sensation!
"Hmm, not bad!" Xiao Yu glanced at everyone and nodded with a smile.
When he came in, he noticed that everyone was working very hard and earnestly.
Even the newcomer Zhao Lu and several other new actors were very focused.
"How many main actors are still needed for the 'Journey to the West' production team? Is there anything I can help you with?" Xiao Yu asked.
"Lord City Lord, there is indeed a problem with this," Xue Qingcheng said after a moment's thought.
"The Butterfly Lovers is set in the world of ordinary people and has no fighting scenes."
However, Journey to the West is a mythological novel, and it relies on exciting battles to attract readers in many places.
Therefore, the battle and set design of a group of gods and monsters must showcase the mythological aspect.
Otherwise, the effect will be greatly reduced..
Ever since Xue Qingcheng proposed to Xiao Yu that she join Dragon City.
Xiao Yu then handed the theater over to her to manage.
Xue Qingcheng was, after all, a young lady from the city of ruins, and had received an elite education since childhood.
Her abilities and talents are beyond question.
Everyone in the crew and the band members admired her wholeheartedly.
