Chapter 7, First Encounter
But then ... ...
Beautiful is beautiful, but cannot act
It is quite fortunate that this bookstore actually has this book
Thus, the young lady witnessed a particularly interesting scene: a boy wearing a checkered shirt, sporting glasses, yet donning a green apron, was weaving back and forth among the rows of bookshelves
Go ahead, I am listening
To be honest, even until now, Wang Yu still feels somewhat hesitant, but he cannot refrain from continuing, "I am actually from Beijing Film Academy."
It actually started to sing
Wang Yu looked at the girl and couldn't help but think of a word
In fact, it is not that difficult; the main thing is to grasp the characteristics of the role you want to experience. For example, a cat—what are the characteristics of a cat? A cat licks its paws, right?
This time, the young lady could no longer hold back her laughter; she laughed beautifully and retorted, "Are you really from Beijing Film Academy? Don't just boast."
Moreover, this person just apologized, didn't they
"Who are you..." The young lady almost fell for it, but it was inappropriate to say too much, so she had no choice but to turn her gaze elsewhere
Is this a form of provocation?
Initially skeptical, the young woman was deeply captivated when the other party spoke these words
Ahem, this is the only sentence I can say
Wang Yu knew that she would behave this way, and thus, he decided to press the advantage.
The young woman nodded.
Wang Yu, this loudmouth, has been blabbering endlessly. Now, the moment to showcase true skills has arrived
Found it
Generally speaking, once the payment is made, the commercial transaction conducted by the bookstore can be considered complete. However, Wang Yu said something.
In order to lead a satisfactory life, one must always possess a spirit of optimism
Upon hearing this, the young lady burst into laughter again
At this point, Wang Yu raised his right hand and brought it close to his mouth
His words made that young lady unable to contain her laughter; she was even afraid to speak, fearing she might die of laughter in this small bookstore
The experiential school can actually be summarized in one sentence: an actor is that character
Oh... the girl initially did not pay much attention, simply responding briefly. She was actually looking at the cover of the book, which featured an old man. It took her a few seconds to realize, "Have you read this book?"
One of the classic segments is as follows, memory ~ turn your face to the moonlight......
You are not a fraud, are you
First love face
The young woman's face flushed with embarrassment, and she felt a bit guilty, offering a casual explanation.
You speak very fluently about this old man's name; it might really be from Beijing Film Academy.
It seems to be lacking something, is it too grand?
Trust me, I used to laugh as well
Truly, I extended my small red tongue and licked it.
Miss, I would like to remind you that you have used this provocation technique twice already. Have you not heard the famous saying of Seiya?
Really
Wang Yu couldn't help but mock himself, saying, "When the boss comes back, I definitely have to ask him for a raise; I have become both a waiter and a storyteller."
Will a student from Beijing Film Academy work as a waiter in such a store
The Pear Blossom Girl was momentarily stunned; she felt an inexplicable shock within her. She was now not only convinced that the young man before her must be from Beijing Film Academy, but also that what he had just said about acting would undoubtedly be of great help to her
Perhaps it is the large eyes, perhaps it is the well-proportioned eyebrows, perhaps it is the elegantly upturned nose, or perhaps it is the not-so-sharp oval face
The girl has been deeply captivated by the animal, yet she still finds it hard to believe that this is real
What is wrong with you
Wang Yu almost said it was a bit green, but fortunately, optimism is the right approach. However, when I think about my apron, it seems that saying it is green is not entirely wrong
Indeed
Wait a moment, is that the brand "Tastylife"?
This book is quite difficult to understand and rather obscure
Wang Yu handed the book over, and the girl, resembling a pear blossom, received it.
Wang Yu wanted to laugh upon hearing this, but he still began to teach earnestly. "Because, while it sounds simple to say, it becomes difficult to do. It's like a man; he doesn't necessarily have to play a man. By the way, you will soon see in this book that at the beginning of his acting studies, S was cast as a black man, Othello. As is well known, this character is a black man, while S is white, and he has to undergo the process of 'becoming' a black man, which is something he has to figure out himself. Moreover, you might not even be required to act as a human. If you attend an acting class, the teacher might even ask you to portray an animal.
A technique can only be used once against a Saint Seiya
This girl has actually come to believe that Wang Yu is from Beijing Film Academy, and she also trusts his interpretation of this book. However, she still wants to ask more, "If experientialism is so simple that it can be explained in one sentence, then why write such a thick book? Isn't this old man Si tired?"
"Don't be so funny..." The young lady laughed to the point of almost shedding tears, but still said: "This sentence is already quite impressive, um, I..."
May I ask if your store has the book "An Actor Prepares"
"Are you saying that you are afraid you cannot do it?" Wang Yu seemed to see through her inner thoughts
Wang Yu had anticipated this, and thus immediately said: "Revolution does not distinguish between high and low, rich and poor; it only differentiates by the nature of the work involved"
What? The young lady is already very curious
"Please wait a moment." Although Wang Yu is in a temporary position, he should still take his work seriously. However, he is not familiar with this place.
Upon hearing the title of this book, Wang Yu could not help but think of the evaluations many people in later generations had of this young lady
or simply describe it in two words, clean
I suppose so," the young lady admitted generously
I know, it is this apron, right
Since you like Saint Seiya, we are friends now
I am genuine and of good value! Moreover, this so-called old man was quite handsome when he was young
Wang Yu coughed lightly, making a slight attempt to cover it up. He knew that his gaze had been too bold. "I apologize, I was just lost in thought. Um, is there something I can assist you with, miss?"
Ah, you have worked hard
As I looked on, the young lady before me seemed to be somewhat unhappy
The two individuals are merely conversing from a distance, yet it is truly fascinating
Handsome for no more than three seconds
This feeling is quite strange
You give it a try
Wang Yu knew that he had gone a bit too far, addressing someone he had just met as a friend was not appropriate, so he smiled and said: "Just kidding, let me tell you about it now"
Oh? How did you know that?
The young lady was completely captivated
Oh, is that so? Sigh? It sounds quite professional, but are you not just bluffing?
These words seemed to possess a magical quality, and the young woman could not help but follow suit. In her mind, the image of a cat appeared, its posture and the way it licked its paws. It should be with the palm turned down, the wrist bent inward, and then...
This girl actually knows this meme, which truly surprised Wang Yu, and he immediately went along with it
Upon thinking of this, I couldn't help but let out a chuckle.
There is a somewhat naive feeling, but the subtext of this statement is quite clear
I must say, you are quite amusing
Thinking this way, I inexplicably feel a great sense of responsibility
What kind of face can be called a first love face
The young lady gasped, "Beijing Film Academy... I, I didn't even get accepted."
In summary, this girl meets almost all aspects of the feeling of first love
In this day and age, the term 'Miss' does not carry as many complex meanings; it is indeed a genuine expression of politeness
The young lady found it quite amusing upon hearing this, yet she refrained from laughing out loud, and thus said: "Do you really understand this book?"
Well, let me clarify first. I actually study scriptwriting, that is, I am a screenwriter or director, not an actor. However, I have been exposed to knowledge related to acting during my time at school. Wang Yu is stating this unpleasant truth upfront
She is wearing a white down jacket, standing in this bookstore, resembling an elegant pear blossom, clean and pristine
The young lady is very polite, making an effort to suppress her smile on her face
Wang Yu smiled and continued, "Have you heard of the famous British opera, 'Cats'? As the name suggests, it features people portraying cats"
The young lady was somewhat angry; it had nothing to do with being addressed as 'Miss.' It was because the server's gaze was excessively inappropriate. However, she had important matters to attend to today
"An Actor Prepares" is written by the renowned artist Konstantin Stanislavski from the former Soviet Union. This old man is quite remarkable; this book elaborates in detail on his acting theory, which is known as the 'Experiential School.' The entire book is written in the form of a diary, which makes it somewhat difficult to comprehend. However, the essence of this Experiential School can indeed be summarized.
I am not joking with you
