Huayu 1995

Chapter 50 is full of key points (Please vote with monthly tickets!)
Although the first version of the assignment was not bad, it was full of flaws in Su Chao's eyes.

"First of all, there's a lack of detail."

Su Chao immediately poured cold water on their enthusiasm, and before the three could react, he continued:

"I've designed a skit for you all that gives you room to improvise. The purpose isn't for you to recount the plot to the examiners, but rather to showcase your individual potential through the story."

You're all reciting your scripted story like it's nothing, have you considered how the examiners see you?

"Furthermore, the topic of serious illness is easy to overact and become sentimental. Without supporting details, your relentless sentimentality made the entire skit and your performance feel hollow."

"at last……"

The three participants in the skit all seemed to be deep in thought.

Others also began to look at Su Chao with new respect.

This training course is pretty good.

People initially thought Lin Zhimeng was too young and were worried about her true abilities.

As it turns out, Su Chao is even younger than Lin Zhimeng.

He seemed to be about the same age as everyone else, and some people were practically asking him directly whether he had ever been to university.

So, it's still too slow to put photos on the wall.

If only his photos with Jiang Wen and Ge You had been hung on the wall sooner...

This is absolutely a fucking surprise!

Who the hell would dare to question him?

As for Zhang Zien and Zhang Heping, who knows where they came from?

After commenting on the performances of the three people.

Su Chao had them rehearse again, and this time he was deeply involved.

He participated while explaining to the students.

To help everyone understand the key points and design concepts behind the design of the artwork.

For example, the golden 30-second window, plot tension, character arc, and the candidate's improvisation, etc.

Based on the judging habits of most examiners, high scores for everyday skits often lie in the moment of "suddenly breaking through calm." Su Chao then analyzed the most exciting moment that is easiest to portray in such skits.

After it was over, he didn't forget to add a reminder:
"During the exam, don't try to fool the examiners with examples from the teacher. If you see several identical skit designs in one day, you'll be the ones who suffer."

He only had 30 minutes to design a short skit assignment.

Three students were involved.

However, those attending the lecture felt overwhelmed.

These are all key points!

Today's trial lesson was originally scheduled to last an hour and a half, divided into three parts.

Now that He Bing has exceeded the time limit, it has become a two-hour audition.

Absolutely great value!
Having filled out the forms before, I suddenly felt like I had accomplished something remarkable.

Those who were initially hesitant about whether to stay, such as Yuan Quan, immediately changed their minds.

A person may feel lonely, but eating alone will not.

What they've already eaten, they can't expect to spit out.

Those who were turned away felt bad.

Everyone is the protagonist of their own world, and they genuinely don't think they are any less capable than those nineteen people.

There were also those who neither filled out the application nor were turned away, but simply did not receive a spot due to time constraints.

They heard that the training course was taught in small classes, with a maximum of only twenty people.

We have already recruited nineteen people.

With so many people vying for the last spot, the chances of getting it are extremely low.

They can only hope that those who have already filled out the forms will withdraw.

Let's go now!

Haven't you paid yet?

Su Chao seemed to know what they were thinking. Before announcing the disbandment, he asked:
"Nineteen students have filled out the forms so far. Are there any of these nineteen students who don't plan to enroll in the classes? Raise your hands so I can see how many of you are."

Everyone looked at each other, and no one raised their hand.

"Tuition fees are not a small amount, so please consider carefully. Also, if you feel that your level is already high enough and you don't need a long course like ours, you can consider choosing a cheaper training program..."

Of the nineteen people, there were actually a few who were not really willing to pay for the course.

I came here yesterday just to take a look, and ended up signing up for a class without really understanding what was going on.

I started to regret it after one night.

I plan to audit a free class today, and then just leave.

Anyway, it didn't say that you had to pay money after filling out the form.

It's strange to say.

Su Chao is not trying to persuade them to stay; instead, he is trying to dissuade them from reporting the crime.

But they couldn't muster even the slightest thought of backing down.

It's just three thousand yuan!

It's not that performing arts students don't come from ordinary families, but that "ordinary" is relative.

Those who are less well-off are at least employees' families.

They are not truly poor.

Guo Xiaodong and Duan Yihong are not considered poor; their parents are healthy and they can borrow money from relatives.

They might even have the opportunity to move to big cities.

Many people never leave their county town in their entire lives.

The truly poor are those who carry their children while harvesting wheat, the children crying themselves to sleep, while there are still bedridden elderly people at home who need care.

The truly poor are those who go down into the coal mines to support their families, going down in the morning and not necessarily coming up at night.

The truly poor are those who listen with their heads down as the teacher reads out the list of students who haven't paid tuition, feeling as if everyone in the classroom is staring at them.

……

"It seems no one is willing to give up their spot, so let's call it a day..."

Su Chao also didn't want to see anyone drop out of the class.

That would create a domino effect; if one person drops out, many more will drop out.

It's unrealistic to expect students to develop a strong sense of belonging to a training program based solely on a trial lesson, given that it only involves a few auditions.

So we need to use some psychological tactics.

"Isn't there still one spot left?"

Immediately, someone raised a protest, and others followed suit.

They were so caught up in the situation that they had no idea they were enrolling in a training course. In the past, the training courses were practically begging them to spend money; now, they were practically begging to hand over their money, but no one would budge.

It is simply contrary to Tiangang.

"The last spot is a flexible spot, so we won't use it today. If you really want to attend this training course, we may open a second session next month, and you can register then."

Many people will surely come looking for us after seeing the flyers we posted yesterday.

Su Chao's plan is to expand the scale appropriately.

Expanding to twenty-five people would be more appropriate.

As for the second cohort next month, that's also part of the plan.

Strike while the iron is hot – that's the only way to go.

By then, the training courses will definitely have more than just the current number of teachers.

Since Su Chao had said all that, no matter how unwilling the others were, they could only leave dejectedly.

After all, they are all respectable people who studied art.

The remaining nineteen will be the official trainees of the first cohort of Dream.

Su Chao stood on the podium, looking at these people.

I felt like I was inspecting the new students at the Whampoa Military Academy.

He coughed twice, suppressing the urge to speak in the Fenghua dialect, and instead said with a slight smile:
"Congratulations everyone, you've chosen your dreams, and your dreams have chosen you... Alright, those of you who brought money, go pay. Those who didn't bring any, go together to get it. If you're not planning to pay your tuition today, you can wait until tomorrow. If you want to pay in installments, you can do so..."

"In addition, this courtyard will rent out some beds, but the number is limited. If you want to stay, you need to make a reservation first. It will be cleaned before you move in."

No lengthy explanations, just direct and to the point.

Moreover, Su Chao didn't rush you; you could hand it in or not today, and leave whenever you wanted.

As you can all see, there's no shortage of people here.

A bunch of people are eyeing your spots covetously.

The Guo brothers were in charge of collecting and registering the money.

Lu Bu was in charge of handling the installment payment process and answering everyone's questions.

Huang Bo went to get some food and drinks.

Su Chao originally wanted to persuade Thor and Little Red Riding Hood to stay for a meal, but Thor refused outright.

He Bing did not stay for dinner either.

Anyone with eyes can see that Su Chao must be extremely busy today.

"I didn't schedule any classes for you today. The main reason is to let you familiarize yourself with the teaching style of the training course, and then read this textbook..."

Su Chao dealt with Duan Yihong first.

"Where did this textbook come from?"

Duan Yihong took it, and the title page read "Dream Home Easy Exam Guide".

This is a training manual, completely different from what they use at school.

The teaching materials are highly targeted and were created specifically for art exams.

"I wrote this textbook. Remember to keep it a secret. You can't take it away. You're only allowed to study it here..."

Su Chao actually values ​​Duan Yihong quite a bit.

It's not because Duan Yihong won the Best Actor award at the Tokyo International Film Festival.

There are quite a few award-winning actors and actresses here today.

That's the thing we have plenty of!

Just as Zhang Guoli valued Duan Yihong because he was poor, he also treated Duan Yihong like a beast of burden because Duan Yihong was poor.

At least, Duan Yihong was poorer than him.

"Okay, I understand!"

Duan Yihong nodded seriously; he wasn't angry because Su Chao didn't trust him.

He knew his own capabilities.

At least for now, we do not have the capacity to independently teach performance classes to art students.

The fact that Su Chao can write his own teaching materials is quite surprising to him.

Am I really an idiot?

“We previously agreed that you would earn ten yuan a day as a student and twenty yuan a day as a teacher. Now that you have chosen to start as a teaching assistant, we will still pay you twenty yuan a day.”

The concept of a saintly heart simply doesn't exist for Su Chao.

However, he wouldn't be stingy with such small favors.

Duan Yihong is currently at his poorest and most destitute, and he will remember this small favor for the rest of his life.

When he gives his acceptance speech at the Tokyo International Film Festival, he'll definitely choke up and say, "Thank you, Brother Chao..."

Without Brother Chao, I wouldn't be who I am today!

"Yes, yes, I... can actually learn something from it too."

Duan Yihong felt inferior to both the dialogue coach and the vocal coach.

"We have about two days a week, two classes a day, four hours of acting classes in total, which works out to about eighty yuan a week. Do you think that's okay?"

Everyone has their own things to do, and it's impossible to be in class all day long.

Su Chao chose to earn his second pot of gold by running training courses because the time was flexible and he didn't have to do everything himself.

Once it's on the right track, it will operate automatically.

"Okay, okay, thank you!"

Duan Yihong was truly grateful to Su Chao and didn't feel that Su Chao had given him too little.

Eighty a week, that's three hundred and twenty a month.

What could a student do to earn 320 yuan a month besides selling blood?

Even if it's selling blood, selling this much will drain them dry.

Unless... you're willing to pay a huge sum of money to have a child?
"No need to be so polite, we're all friends. The newspapers I've posted here were all obtained for me by you..."

Just as they were talking to the future movie star, a commotion broke out outside.

"Brother Chao! Duan Ming... Duan Ming is here!"

Lu Bu rushed in, his face showing no fear of encountering desperate criminals, but rather full of excitement!
Okay, Duan Ming's outlaw persona was imposed on him by Su Chao and Lü Bu.

"What's he doing here, delivering a flower basket?"

Su Chao left Duan Yihong to read by himself.

He only realized that Duan Mingren was doing something important after he came out.

They actually came to collect protection money!
