Entertaining Children

"Of course not," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "This poem was written a few days ago. It was the day when the rankings for the second exam were announced. I saw some candidates cry on the spot when they saw that their names were not on the list. I wrote this poem because of my feelings. In fact, it’s okay to write this on this occasion. Most of the ten candidates in our group will not be able to enter Shenxi in the end, so it’s okay to let everyone have a positive attitude.”

"So you wrote this poem for them?" Zhao Xinghua pointed to the candidates next to him.

"Including myself." Xiao Yao nodded and said, "We should be full of confidence during the exam and believe that we can pass the exam, but after the results come out, there will always be frustrated people. No matter who it is, I don't want them You will be discouraged by failure, keep your hopes and dreams, and keep trying.”

"Just now you said that talent is more important than hard work, and now you say that people should not give up after failure and continue to work hard, don't you feel a little contradictory?" Zhao Xinghua looked at Xiao Yao and said.

"Uh..." Xiao Yao was at a loss for words when asked by Zhao Xinghua. After thinking about it, Xiao Yao continued, "Human beings are inherently contradictory, but I don't feel contradictory about this. Talent is more important than hard work, but it doesn't matter. It shows that hard work is not important. It is difficult to succeed without hard work. Candidates who can enter the third test, at least in this respect, should not be bad. Even if they are eliminated, I think Probably not because of talent."

"Sure enough, his brain turns fast," Zhao Xinghua nodded with a smile.

"Finally, let's talk about your music," Zhao Xinghua said again, "I don't know much about electronic music, old man, and I haven't seen the thing you just played. But I think the music you played just now is similar to what I watched on TV. The electronic music in the nightclub I went to is very different, and when I heard the latter, there was a sense of desolation like the withered vines, old trees and faint crows in ancient poems, and you wrote this song yourself?"

"Well," Xiao Yao nodded and said, "This is the song I wrote, called "odyssesheo1dtree", Odysseus under the old tree. In fact, electronic music is not only the kind of noisy nightclub, I don't like it very much The nightclub kind. What I like and create, it’s the genre I just played.”

"Odysseus?" Zhao Xinghua was a little surprised, "That is to say, your song is inspired by the "Odyssey" in "Homer's Epic"? You have even read "Homer's Epic" ?”

"Yes." Xiao Yao nodded.

The piece that Xiao Yao played just now was born out of "odyssesheo1dtree" by Koan in his previous life, but the original version was more than nine minutes long. Xiao Yao didn't remember it completely, so he could only add his own adaptation to the rhythms and melodies he remembered. In this life, he has read a lot of books. He knows that Odysseus is the protagonist of "The Odyssey" in "Homer's Epic". Koan's song must be related to "Odyssey", so he will "Homer" The Epic" was found and read again, and I felt Odysseus's arduous return after the Trojan War, and finally completed the electronic music of more than six minutes.

"No wonder it's good!" Zhao Xinghua nodded and said, "The talent show is over, you can pack up your things and stand back, the second exam will be on soon." He has also read "Homer's Epic", so naturally he knows Xiao Yao's song Which part of the "Odyssey" does the feeling of desolation come from? No wonder there is a feeling of withered vines, old trees and faint crows in ancient Chinese poems.

He picked up Xiao Yao's registration form and wrote on it for a while, seeing that Xiao Yao had packed up the Four Treasures of the Study and the percussion pad and stood back in the team, Zhao Xinghua said to the candidates: "The next test is for collective creation sketches, and you will use three, three, four The method can be freely combined into three groups, and then come to me to draw questions."

This time, Zhao Xinghua did not pick Xiao Yao out alone like the teacher He did in the second test. Lin Qisan and Nina were both present, so the three of them stood together in a tacit understanding without hesitation in the grouping.

They formed a small circle and began to discuss who should go to the examiner to collect the test questions. The other candidates could also see that the three of them were together, and no one forced themselves into the group of three.

The candidates for the third test had all gone through the second test. Knowing that the examiners were also observing their performance during the free grouping, they were quickly divided into three groups and went to the examiners to collect the test questions.

The three people in Xiao Yao's group finally sent the only girl, Nina, to the examiner to draw a question. After returning, Nina told the two with a wry smile that the question she drew was called: Meet the parents!

Xiao Yaoxian laughed and said, "The examiner teacher didn't do it on purpose, did he? Knowing that you two are a couple, he gave us such a question on purpose. This is to ask you two to preview in advance."

Both Lin Qisan and Nina were a little embarrassed, not knowing how to answer Xiao Yao.

"Okay, since the two of you are a couple, I'll be the only one to play the role of parent." Xiao Yao said, taking off his coat and the white long-sleeved shirt inside, and spreading out the long-sleeved shirt to the ground.

"What are you doing?" Lin Qisan and Nina asked at the same time.

"Prepare the props." Xiao Yao took out the hair and ink from the bag again, pulled the two of them together and said, "You two also squat down and help me cover it up. I will also tell you about the plot by the way."

"Have you even thought about the plot now?" Lin Qisan squatted down with a smile and said, "That's right, Duo'er dragged you to see Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun, right? You have experienced and experienced, we just listen to you gone."

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "We grew up together, do we still need to meet our parents? But isn't that what meeting parents is all about? We mainly want to come up with something new and fun come out."

"This is what you're talking about?" Lin Qisan pointed to Xiao Yao's long-sleeved shirt spread on the ground.

"Of course." Xiao Yao said to the two of them, "If you want to laugh, hurry up and laugh to your heart's content, and don't laugh when you're acting later!"

Although Lin Qisan didn't ask for the group sketch for the second item, Zhao Xinghua still put Xiao Yao's group in the final test.

In the second test, most of the performance questions are about scenes, which belong to the category of performance without physical objects, and there is no requirement for a plot. The performance questions in the third test basically turned into event questions, requiring candidates to create their own plots. In addition to the basic skills of acting, it also tests the candidates' creative ability, so the difficulty is naturally much higher.

Therefore, compared with the first round of talent show, the performance of the second round of proposition collective sketches is naturally much less exciting. The candidates in the first two groups were given the titles "Golden Cicada Escapes its Shell" and "Crafting the Numbers". The performances of the seven people were good and bad, but overall, there was nothing that surprised the examiners. But this is normal, it was originally an exam of the acting department, if there is such a heaven-defying acting skill that even the examiners can be shocked, there is no need to come to the drama academy to study acting.

In the end, Xiao Yao and his group performed similarly in performance. Although Xiao Yao has won the Feitian Award for Best Newcomer, and his acting skills have been recognized to a certain extent, but it took him a long time to play that role, wrote a long biography, and put in a lot of hard work Only got it. Now there is only a few minutes of preparation time in the examination room. Let alone writing biographies, it would be nice to be able to conceive the plot well. Where else can I dig out the prescribed situation and experience the characters?

But wherever Xiao Yao is, there will naturally be no shortage of bright spots.

In the first part of their group of sketches, the performance of the three of them can be said to be quite satisfactory. Whether it is the anxiety of the young couple Lin Qisan and Nina when they meet their parents, or the entanglement in the heart of the girl’s father played by Xiao Yao, they are all quite satisfactory. It's clearly shown. And among them, Lin Qisan and Nina opened the door and entered the house with things, and Xiao Yao's non-physical performance of serving guests with water also showed the three people's good basic skills in acting.

The evaluation of this performance can barely be regarded as above-average. The examiners nodded at most, and did not express anything special. The other two groups of candidates who had finished their performances also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But when it came to the end of the skit, whether it was the examiner or the examinee, many people couldn't help but laugh because of Xiao Yao's group.

"Since you're here, let's stay and eat." Xiao Yao said to Lin Qisan with a hint of reluctance in his expression, and stood up from the chair simulated by the scene.

"Uncle, don't bother, let me invite you out to eat." Lin Qisan immediately pulled out the arm held by Nina, and stood up as well.

"I said to eat at home, so I will eat at home." Xiao Yao glared at Lin Qisan and said.

"Then let me help you." Lin Qisan immediately said again.

"Can you cook?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Uh, no, but I can help you." Lin Qisan touched his head in embarrassment and said.

"Then you should sit down." Xiao Yao glanced at Lin Qisan and said.

Then, Xiao Yao took off his coat, turned around and deliberately walked slowly towards the non-existent kitchen.

"Hey, why are there so many words on the back of my dad's clothes? I don't think I've seen him have such clothes?" Nina looked at Xiao Yao's back strangely and said.

Lin Qisan also looked at Xiao Yao's back curiously, then subconsciously read in a low voice:

"The 1o rules for dating my daughter:

1. Have a serious job;

2. Clearly know that I don't like you;

3. I may appear at any time;

4. You can't fool me;

5. If you bully her, I will clean you up;

6. No cheating, no spare tire;

7. Know an orthopedic surgeon;

8. I am not afraid of going to jail;

9. Can do housework, she is my princess, not your nanny;

1o. How you treat her, how I treat you. "

When Lin Qisan first read, his tone and expression were curious, but as he went further behind, the expression on his face became more nervous and embarrassed. Later, his eyes widened slightly tremblingly, until he read the last line, he didn't know what to do. It was a slight sigh of relief.

Nina's expression was surprised at the beginning, but at the end, her eyes were full of emotion and attachment.

The examiners and examinees who were spectators looked at each other from the beginning, and they all smiled at the end.

"Did you come up with these ten sentences on the spot?" Zhao Xinghua asked with a smile after Xiao Yao's performance ended. The propositional performance of the third test of the acting department mainly tests the candidate's on-the-spot creative ability, and in ten sentences, it is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of this round of tests.

"He thought of it." Lin Qisan pointed to Xiao Yao and said, "He also wrote the words on the clothes just now."

When he saw the title of the sketch, Xiao Yao immediately thought of the ten sentences on a photo that had gone viral on the Internet in his previous life. The photo is of a foreign father, and the writing is also in English, and there is also a Chinese translation after it spreads in China. Since the original photo has not been circulated in this world, Xiao Yao did not directly use any version of the Chinese translation, but made some localized modifications by himself, not only changing the lawyer into a doctor, but also using " Cheating", "spare tire" and other words.

"Mr. He, I think you should also prepare one of Xiao Yao's clothes." An examiner next to him said to the teacher He who had a daughter with a mocking smile.

"It seems that one should be prepared." Teacher He rubbed his chin and smiled, then took out his mobile phone and looked at Xiao Yao, "I don't have your photographic memory, can you turn around?" , let me take a picture of the words on your clothes, and I will make one myself later."
