Chapter 36: Fang Xinghe, You are Number One in the Entrance Exam!

~9 min read 1,616 words

In the following days, Fang Xinghe started a brand new, but still extremely regular life.

Get up early to practice morning skills.

Stance and Tai Chi are the first items, then boxing and sword, and then use the Grotowski vocal method to practice tongue twisters.

Thanks to the experience of his previous life, his Mandarin is very standard, without any accent, so he saved the trouble of accent correction.

After finishing the morning skills, go back to take a shower, and then go to the practice room of the People’s Art Theater to carry out special training.

Teacher Feng Yuanzheng sometimes guides him personally, but more often he has no free time, so he throws him in the practice room and lets the assistant assist in practice.

It’s the same whoever assists, anyway, the one being tortured is always Fang Xinghe.

At this time, the People’s Art Theater is in its prime, the older generation is famous in the world, and the second-generation main force—Liang Guanhua, Pu Cunxin, Yang Lixin, He Bing, Wu Gang, Gong Lijun, Hu Jun, etc.—although not famous, will be the backbone of Chinese entertainment in the future.

If it were someone else, I’m afraid they would have found an opportunity to watch the novelty, join in the fun, or even climb the relationship. But Fang Xinghe is not interested in anyone.

His cognition of himself is very clear—

"I will be a top actor, and I will also leave behind a few film history classic roles with real depth, but my path is not in the People’s Art Theater, not in performance art, and not even in the entertainment industry."

In the final analysis, he neither looks down on the current entertainment industry nor the future entertainment industry.

And those performance artists are worthy of respect, but Fang Xinghe only wants to live like a god.

Before thinking about art, style, and spiritual elevation, one must first satisfy the deepest desire in one’s heart, and then empty the heart.

Fang Xinghe is 14 years old, the age of health preservation. Making money and adding attributes is the right business.

He just studied, exercised, and tortured himself wholeheartedly. Every time he reached a stage, he added a few points of experience, and thus soared forward at a speed that Feng Yuanzheng couldn't understand, scaring this pervert into calling him a pervert.

"You are simply a monster."

Teacher Feng was full of incredulity.

"Although I know that practicing Tai Chi has great help in physical control and self-liberation, your progress speed is too outrageous..."

Fang Xinghe looked at the Grotowski training method that had been added to 50 points and teased: "The accumulation is almost consumed. I guess it will take a few more years of serious practice to catch up with you."

"Whoa, this student of yours is really crazy!"

A big face suddenly popped up at the door of the practice room, and then, Hu Jun walked into the room with a smile and sent an invitation to Feng Yuanzheng.

"Teacher Feng, I’m having a wedding on the 11th. I shouldn't have disturbed you so early, but I’m going out for a trip soon, so I’ll give you the invitation in advance. You must come when the time comes!"

Feng Yuanzheng took the wedding invitation, smiled and bowed: "Congratulations to you and Little Lu, lovers finally get married, really good! I will definitely go when the time comes."

After the two finished talking about this, Hu Jun looked at Fang Xinghe curiously.

"I heard long ago that you accepted a student, handsome, and a great talent. What’s going on, you’re in such a hurry to kill the teacher and usurp the throne?"

"Hello, Teacher Hu."

Fang Xinghe greeted politely, and then his edge was revealed: "If I can be better than the master, the happiest person must be the teacher. Since it is the common wish of both parties, what’s wrong with working hard to realize it?"

"Good, good, good!"

Hu Jun laughed loudly: "The child has ambition, especially good! Then I wish you success in advance."

Feng Yuanzheng was both happy and proud, and couldn't help showing off: "It’s a matter of time. Xinghe’s talent is world-class, and his practice is hard. I guess that after he is 20, he will be waiting for roles. Whenever that role comes, he will take the three gold film emperor awards!"

"Oh?!"

This time, Hu Jun was really shocked, re-examining Fang Xinghe, with a little doubt in his eyes, but more envy.

"You never praise people like this, let alone praise your own students. It seems that Little Fang really has potential. Okay, then I have a count. In the future, as long as there is a suitable opportunity, I will definitely mention it to the director!"

Fang Xinghe didn't know if this was a polite remark, but since people said it, he had to thank them.

"Thank you, Teacher Hu, very grateful, but you don't have to worry too much. Before the foundation is laid, I want to maintain a sense of mystery and awe for film and television dramas."

The actual meaning is: I don't want to take a play in the short term.

Although the essence is a refusal, the words were spoken so beautifully that Hu Jun was not angry, but praised him sincerely again.

"Sure enough, worthy of being a great talent, any sentence can be taken as a line."

Actually, the status of a talent is the least valuable in the People’s Art Theater. The masters who came out of this place can form a football team.

Cao Yu in *Family, Spring, Autumn* is the pillar of the People’s Art Theater.

However, youth is the greatest value, and so is handsomeness. After Fang Xinghe added various buffs, Hu Jun regarded him as a connection.

The three chatted for a while, Hu Jun continued to send invitations, Feng Yuanzheng went back to rehearse, and the bitter Fang re-invested in practice.

50 points of Grotowski experience, of which only 30 points are open, and the remaining 20 points are practiced by himself.

In a sense, with his coordination, agility, flexibility, and martial arts foundation, he can indeed occupy the first opportunity in any actor training.

This is also a kind of talent.

There are only three kinds of actor talent, all of which are easy to understand.

The first kind: sensitive, emotional, strong empathy, able to experience the inner character with extremely simple conditions.

Others have to experience a breakup to realize the pain of tearing the heart and lungs, but she can empathize by watching from the side. This is the experience school actor that God chases and feeds.

The second kind: extremely smart, good at observing and summarizing, learns as soon as they learn, understands as soon as they teach, quickly saves 1000 character images, and can perform well without empathy.

The third kind: natural strong control.

Some perverts on Douyin can easily tie knots with their tongues, knit sweaters with their toes, and expand one nostril alone, while the Fang Xinghe of the previous life was so stupid that he couldn't even lift his ring finger alone, and the more he practiced, the more he doubted life.

That kind of control monster practices basic skills well, uses stupid methods to walk the actor’s path, and can succeed the same.

The three paths themselves have no high or low, only the difference in talent upper limit.

And the current Fang Xinghe is almost a combination of the second and third types.

He is a person whose reason is greater than sensibility. He has a little empathy, but not much. If he takes the path of pure experience school, the upper limit is definitely not high.

But he is smart, realizes the problem, and immediately finds a way to solve it.

Now he has apprenticed to Feng Yuanzheng, started practicing skills several years in advance, and then accumulated by observing characters carefully, the future is very promising.

Opening the panel, his art attribute has one more item—performance.

Currently only 33 points, not equal to the experience of Grotowski training method.

This is because basic skills cannot be simply equated with performance ability, and performance ability is not equal to presentation effect.

The most typical example, Huang Xiaoming.

If he doesn't smile, he won't smile, but once he smiles, he is charming—the charm of evil, making the director have a headache and the audience have a pain in the egg.

He has good performance ability, but often doesn't have good presentation effect. Once the director can't suppress him and lets this brother play freely... then you just watch.

Fang Xinghe decided to take it as a warning.

Thus, the study became more and more attentive.

In the days in the capital, the body was tired but the heart was not, happy and fulfilling. It’s just a pity that just after he mastered the full set of training methods and was about to increase his efforts, the high school entrance exam results came out.

The pager rang for almost 20 minutes, I don't know how many people sent him messages.

Fang Xinghe replied lazily to Teacher Fang, this old man shouted with his neck stretched: "Fang Xinghe! You are number one! 610 points, number one in the whole province!"

What’s the rush to put it on the shelves?

I write slowly, you look slowly, I plan to update more free chapters, and put it on the shelves later.

So if you want to chase, chase, I really like to see your sand sculpture speeches, and I can copy book reviews when I have nothing to do~

Well, ===== CHAPTER 37 =====
