Accidental Mark

【Accidental Mark · Chapter 60】

After returning to the artist's apartment that night, Cheng Xia did receive a call from her agent Zhou Yan: "Cheng Xia, I have some good news for you. Tianxuan recently opened a training class for newcomers. I'll sign up for you. name!"

When she saw the notice today, she was very puzzled. The timing of this training class is too coincidental, right?Just in time for Cheng Xia's audition?If the training course was not aimed at all the artists of Tianxuan, she would have mistakenly thought that it was specially taught by Boss Pei for Cheng Xia.

As soon as the notice was announced, the agents actively signed up their own artists, and Zhou Yan also quickly signed up the four newcomers she brought.

Cheng Xia heard Mr. Pei mention this matter this afternoon, and he was mentally prepared. He immediately asked, "Sister Yan, when will the training start?"

"From May 5rd to 23th, you will audition on June 29st, just in time. Come and report to class with me tomorrow afternoon." As she spoke, she sent a class schedule to Cheng Xia, saying: "Look first Let’s take a look at the course schedule, the teachers invited for this training class are all veteran actors in the industry, and the seniors will give lectures in person, which should be of great help to the newcomers.”

Cheng Xia said: "Thank you, Sister Yan, I will come to the company to see you at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Xia opened the curriculum and took a look - except for the basic etiquette training, the rest were all acting-related courses.Teacher Cai Yun, who is particularly good at crying scenes, actually teaches them. Teacher Cai is the idol of Cheng Xia's father. Cheng Xia grew up watching her movies and TV series when she was very young. Lecture in person.

Cheng Xia excitedly kept the schedule.

Then, he opened the chat window with Pei Shaoze, and changed the photo of the green path that Pei Shaoze had sent him as the background of the chat - this is the place where their "first date" was, and it is very memorable.Immediately afterwards, Cheng Xia conveniently changed the remark from "Mr. Pei" to "Brother Pei", which would be more friendly.

After setting everything up, Cheng Xia sent a message to Pei Shaoze: "Are you home?"

Pei Shaoze replied: "Just entered the room." He was changing shoes at the door, and after seeing the news, he put on his slippers and sat down on the sofa in the living room, and typed: "You just attacked me suddenly and kissed me while I wasn't paying attention?"

Cheng Xia boldly said: "You kissed me today while I wasn't paying attention, I'm called applying what I've learned [shy]"

Thinking of the wonderful experience of kissing the boy in the afternoon, Pei Shaoze couldn't help but curled his lips, and sent a gentle voice: "I don't mean to blame you, you can continue to 'apply what you have learned' in the future."

Alpha's voice is deep and sexy, Cheng Xia listened with the phone close to her ear, her cheeks became hot, and she hurriedly changed the subject: "By the way, my manager notified me about the training just now, and this training class can invite Teacher Cai Yun ,Amazing!"

Speaking of work, Pei Shaoze immediately became serious: "After all, you are only a freshman, you lack experience, and your acting skills are still a little immature. This time, study hard. I hope this week's training can help you."

Cheng Xia nodded earnestly: "I understand. Folding paper is just a school drama, and Qin Nian's emotional changes are not so drastic, but Xu Ziyang is different. I think it will be much more difficult to win the role of Xu Ziyang than Qin Nian."

He paused, and then sent a guarantee: "Brother Pei, don't worry, I will work hard [come on] [come on]!"

Pei Shaoze's gaze was fixed on the title "Brother Pei", and a smile could not help but appear in his eyes - no one had ever called him that before.His younger siblings call him "Brother" directly, and everyone he meets at work respectfully calls him "Boss Pei".

Brother Pei, Cheng Xia is the only one who calls him that, and it sounds very kind and pleasing to the ear.He likes this feeling, being influenced by Cheng Xia, it seems that some sunshine and vitality have been injected into his heart, not as lifeless as before.

Pei Shaoze ended the conversation with a moon emoji and "Go to bed early".

Cheng Xia had another beautiful dream that night.

In the last dream, the birthday would turn into a wedding scene, and Pei Shaoze put a wedding ring on him. At that time, he and Pei Shaoze hadn't been officially together yet, and the two hadn't even held hands.Now, after kissing, holding hands, and finally confirming the relationship, Cheng Xia's dream will naturally go further——

He dreamed that he was marked by Pei Shaoze.

The process is quite detailed.

When she woke up, Cheng Xia's entire face was blushing, and she hurried to the bathroom to take a cold shower.If Mr. Pei knew that he was so good at making up his mind and having weird dreams, he would definitely think that he is not reserved at all as an Omega, and maybe he would laugh at him for his thick skin...

At 02:30 in the afternoon, Cheng Xia, who had adjusted his mentality, came to the agent's office on time.

The four newcomers brought by Zhou Yan have all arrived. She glanced at the four of them, and patiently said: "This week's training is closed. You will eat and live in the Ronghua Hotel. The teacher invited by the company will be in the hotel. The conference hall on the third floor of the hotel is for everyone to have classes, and the classes are very full every day, which may be difficult. But the opportunity is rare, so everyone must study hard.”

The four of them nodded their heads in agreement.

Zhou Yan said: "Bring a few changes of clothes and report for duty with me."

After arriving at Ronghua Hotel, there were indeed many artists from Tianxuan on the scene, most of them were newcomers.This training class was organized by Tianxuan Entertainment Company at a cost. It was only aimed at its own artists, and newcomers from Group A and Group B could also participate.After seeing Cheng Xia and the others, newcomers from other groups also came over to exchange WeChat messages with them, and Cheng Xia also politely added a few friends.

The artists' hotel rooms were arranged on the same floor. Cheng Xia put away his luggage and took a rest before going to the conference hall on the third floor.

There was an opening ceremony that night, and Pei Shaoze also came over in person and said a few words on the podium.Mr. Pei's speech style was still crisp, clear and distinct. Cheng Xia sat under the stage and listened very carefully—this Alpha belongs to him, so he is so proud.

The eyes of the two met across the sea of ​​people, and Cheng Xia immediately showed a bright smile to Brother Pei.

Pei Shaoze also smiled slightly, and said: "Okay, I don't need to explain the truth. Acting is the foundation of an actor. I hope everyone will cherish this opportunity arranged by the company and study hard in the next week."

There was thunderous applause from the audience, Cheng Xia clapped his hands hard enough, and clapped his hands.

There were too many people at the scene, and Pei Shaoze couldn't talk to Cheng Xia alone, so he just sent a sentence on WeChat: "I'm going first, take care of myself."

Cheng Xia replied, "Don't worry!"

Early in the morning of the next day, etiquette-related courses were arranged starting at [-] o'clock. The company invited a professional etiquette team to teach everyone the basics of walking on the red carpet, facing the reporter's interview posture, chest and abdomen, and straightness. When being interviewed by reporters, where to look and how to smile politely are also skills that an artist needs to master.

After two classes, Cheng Xia has learned how to get out of the aura of [-] meters.

But what he looks forward to the most is Teacher Cai's crying training class in the afternoon.

In the 90-minute class, Teacher Cai specifically talked about how actors can control crying scenes, and how to cry silently without using eye drops?How to choke and sob without breaking your expression, how to cry heart-piercingly to drive the audience's emotions, how to break down and cry to completely release yourself...

The step-by-step tutorial for crying scenes left the newcomers dumbfounded.

Really worthy of being an old drama player, you can cry if you say you want to cry!

She was talking on the stage, tears fell down like broken beads, and her emotional control level had reached a superb level. When she performed the scene of breaking down and crying with everyone later, the newcomers on the scene were taken away. His eyes were so moist that Cheng Xia couldn't help shedding a few tears.

This is the contagious power of a great actor.

Ye Mingqian's crying scene is considered very strong among the new generation, but it is still far behind the 60-year-old senior.Not to mention Cheng Xia, if the senior stood in front of him and played against him, he would definitely be reduced to scum in seconds.

I am still too weak, lack of experience, and can't manage my emotions freely.There is still a lot of room for him to improve.

After class, Cheng Xia took the initiative to ask Teacher Cai Yun a question: "Teacher, if I want to act in a scene where I return home and find all my loved ones dead, how should I control my emotions? From surprise to disbelief, Break down and cry after believing it, and then calm down and call the police? I think this kind of emotional change is too drastic and difficult to grasp."

Cai Yun looked at the serious young man in front of him. This child had clear eyes and a face full of thirst for knowledge. She also noticed it when she was giving a lecture just now. The young man sitting in the first row listened very carefully the whole time. She likes this kind of self-motivated Newcomer at heart.

Cai Yun smiled and taught Cheng Xia some skills: "If you can't get into the scene as soon as possible, you can try to use associations. Imagine a scene where you see your own parents lying in a pool of blood. How would you react? Think about it more, and the emotion will come."

Cheng Xia was thoughtful: "Well, then, teacher, when you acted in the later stage, did you associate it in the same way?"

Cai Yun said: "When you really learn how to play, you don't need to think about it at all-you are whoever you want to play."

Who do you want to play, who are you?

It is very difficult to reach such a level, but after listening to this class, Cheng Xia still felt enlightened. He showed a sincere smile to his senior and said, "Thank you teacher, I probably found a way! I have been reading your books since I was a child. Drama, I really like you!"

The boy's eyes were bright and pure, and the admiration he looked at her did not seem to be feigned.Cai Yun patted him on the shoulder lovingly: "I have heard many people say such things. But I know, you are not flattering. Come on."

……

For the next few days, Cheng Xia had been listening carefully to the class. He became the student who asked the most questions. Every time after class, he asked the old seniors to ask questions. Such a serious attitude also made some newcomers dislike him, and secretly made sarcastic remarks. Some people think that he is deliberately showing off, and some people think that he wants to show his presence to the old man...

Cheng Xia ignored these private discussions and just took notes in class.

When he went back in the evening, he would report to Pei Shaoze what he had achieved today, and Pei Shaoze would also chat with him to help him answer questions. Although a week of training could not improve his acting skills by leaps and bounds, for Cheng Xia, this time The training is indeed rewarding.

How to show the character's inner struggle through subtle expressions and small movements?

How to interpret intense emotions such as crying, laughing, roaring, and hatred?

The old-timers taught them lessons with valuable experience, as if opening a door to a new world for them.

How much you can learn depends on your individual perception.

Cheng Xia had no idea how to play the role of "Xu Ziyang" as a policeman before, but now, he has a clear idea in his heart.

Xu Ziyang is a hot-blooded and righteous intern policeman. He has just graduated and has not experienced cruel cases. He is full of hope in life and has always believed that the truth will not be absent and the real murderer will not slip through the net.

But the massacre of his uncle's family happened right under his nose, and no clues were left at the scene. The police's investigations have repeatedly bogged down in the quagmire, and it seems that it will become an unsolved case where the murderer cannot be caught. The impact he has suffered psychologically and on his beliefs One can imagine.

It is not difficult for Cheng Xia to act as a sunny and passionate intern.However, it was a big challenge for Cheng Xia to act out the kind of righteousness and ambivalence that only the police can have, and the collapse and ambivalence that the relatives died but could not catch the murderer.

At the beginning of this drama, Xu Ziyang witnessed the tragic death of his uncle's family of four after returning home. He went from shock, pain, and collapse to quickly calming down to protect the scene and call the police. easy.

The audition required the actors to perform this scene, and after repeated deliberations in Cheng Xia's mind, she finally decided how to perform it.

After the training class ended on May 5, Cheng Xia returned to the apartment and rehearsed several times according to the simulated scene in his mind.

For the next two days on the 30th and 31st, he practiced in the apartment from morning to night, looked at his movements and expressions in the mirror, closed his eyes and silently read the lines of the script, and he walked around the room like a little madman. Going around, crying loudly for a while, laughing loudly for a while, completely releasing myself regardless of the image, to find the most accurate feeling...

After practicing many times, he gradually gained confidence in his heart.

On the night of the 31st, Pei Shaoze sent a message: "I'm going to audition tomorrow, are you confident?"

Cheng Xia quickly replied: "Yes! I have practiced many times in the past few days, and I know how to act. Thanks to the crying skills taught by Teacher Cai, I think I should be able to cry at the audition scene."

Pei Shaoze said: "Very good. I'll accompany you tomorrow afternoon."

Cheng Xia was stunned for a moment: "You don't need to accompany me when you are so busy, Sister Yan can just accompany me."

Pei Shaoze said: "I'm not going with you as a boss, but as a boyfriend. Are you still refusing?"

Cheng Xia: "..."

Can't say no!

These words warmed Cheng Xia's heart.It's like attending an important interview, although you say it's okay, but you still feel nervous.If the boyfriend is by his side, he will inexplicably have more confidence in his heart!

Pei Shaoze continued: "Don't think too much. Of course I'll be happy for you if you get selected. If you can't get selected, we have other dramas to shoot. Relax and express yourself well. I believe you can."

If Cheng Xia had only [-]% confidence before, this gentle encouragement from Pei Shaoze made his confidence soar to [-]% in an instant.

He will definitely behave well and not let his boyfriend down!
