Huayu 1995

Chapter 60 Did the fish eat your brain?
After finishing the fight, Su Chao ignored the old men's attempts to persuade him to stay, got on his bicycle, and rode away.

Setting up a martial arts training class is quite troublesome.

We need a venue and insurance; otherwise, it will be difficult to handle if something happens to the elderly men.

So Su Chao doesn't teach at all.

However, these old men are like NPCs that spawn on the riverbank; no one knows whether they have any particularly powerful energy behind them.

If it could create a positive connection, Su Chao wouldn't mind spending this half hour.

Carrying four fish, Su Chao swaggered through the city.

He wanted everyone to know that he was no longer an air force veteran.

Unfortunately, passersby didn't even give him a second glance.

That rascal, so young, is idle and goes fishing first thing in the morning.

As Su Chao arrogantly parked his bicycle in the courtyard, he immediately shouted into the house:

"Lu Bu, come help me catch this!"

Upon hearing the commotion, Lü Bu rushed out. Before he could even speak after seeing Su Chao, someone in the courtyard asked in surprise:
"Principal, did you go out to buy fish this morning?"

"Principal, you don't cook, why did you buy so much fish?"

Su Chao looked over upon hearing the sound and saw Qin Hailu, who liked reading CEO romance novels and whose career plan was to become a white-collar worker.

The other one is Wu Zhen.

Su Chao had already recalled some information about the girl.

It wasn't that he had awakened any super memories, but rather that he used to often dine with people in the entertainment industry and had overheard some gossip at the dinner table.

Without deliberately memorizing, a sudden flash of inspiration allows me to connect the names and figures in the gossip.

This girl is Er Kang's ex-girlfriend!
However, who cares whose ex-girlfriend she is? The most important thing now is to prove her innocence.

Don't be afraid of being shattered into pieces, you must keep your innocence in this world!
"I didn't buy any fish, I caught them myself. Can't you see the fishing rod in my hand?"

"Yes, Brother Chao is an amazing fisherman!"

It seems that Brother Chao has finally been reduced to buying fish at the market.

Go ahead and buy it.

Four carp, each weighing two or three pounds.

Brother Chao, did a fish eat your brain?

Regardless of his inner thoughts, Lü Bu resolutely defended Su Chao's dignity.

He quickly went up and took the four fish, even trying to salvage the situation by saying, "Brother Chao, today we're targeting carp, and the bait is specifically for carp..."

"It's just four fish, what's all the fuss about? Get ready, class is about to start!"

Su Chao turned and instructed Lü Bu to take the fish to the landlady.

The landlady has a small kitchen.

The place was too small, and she also had to take care of the convenience store, so she really couldn't earn money selling food.

But it's perfectly fine to ask her to cook a dish occasionally.

Carp at the market costs a little over one yuan per pound, which is definitely a treat for me.

Su Chao started his first lesson.

Yesterday was a trial class, and today is the official start of the class.

Before that, he decided to conduct a pre-battle mobilization for a training course.

"Everyone, there are a total of nineteen students in this cohort. Regardless of whether there are any more students later, or by how many, the three major academies will not accept only nineteen people."

The training courses are mostly aimed at the three major universities.

But in fact, there are more than just the three major universities for performing arts; there are also the PLA Academy of Arts, Communication University of China, Nanjing University of the Arts, National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts, as well as many junior colleges.

Su Chao said this to eliminate the barriers between the trainees.

"There is indeed competition among you. To put it bluntly, I can only send a maximum of half of you in..."

“Constant hostility will only wear you down. You should help each other and make progress together.”

"When you attend my training course, you must be upright and ambitious. You are destined to become big stars and make a lot of money. Remember, you are the people who have emerged from the Dream Home."

"Don't sell yourself cheaply. If you ever really can't make ends meet, come to me. As long as you've attended my training course, I'll give you a chance..."

After just a few words, Su Chao began the lesson.

The trainees had no idea how much weight Su Chao's promise carried; at most, they were just momentarily excited.

Su Chao began teaching short plays for art exams.

The current art exam questions for short plays still fully follow the Soviet system.

It mainly focuses on observation of daily life, and then there is a lot of improvisation.

Su Chao's first lesson focused on the topic of the lesson.

For example, a skit could be designed around the theme of an object, such as a letter of complaint.

There are also situational questions, such as an emergency room on a rainy night, where doctors, patients, and family members all have the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities.

Idiom-based questions also make up a large proportion of the questions, and they are the most difficult. For example, if you are given the idiom "to weave a cocoon around oneself" and asked to elaborate on it, you students will be full of questions.

Su Chao was speaking on stage, and the students were listening very attentively.

Others were taking notes. They had paid for it, so every minute and second was precious.

Guo Xiaofeng, Guo Xiaodong, Huang Bo, and Lü Bu listened very attentively.

Now that they have access to training courses, if they don't seize the opportunity, they're truly doomed.

One class lasts one hour.

After class, everyone was still a little reluctant to leave.

"Principal, I've heard that the assignments at the Central Academy of Drama are particularly difficult. After we get into the school, will we still be able to ask you for help?"

Zhang Ziyi has lost all her arrogance.

She was particularly docile in front of Su Chao, her eyes filled with admiration for him.

"Sure, even after you finish your training course, you can still contact me..."

They're all customers, all easy prey.

"Principal, I practice quite well in private, but I can't perform well on stage. Is there any way to solve this?"

During breaks, the trainees would ask questions.

"Skilled offstage, but offstage, this requires reducing the sensitivity of your amygdala, simply put, making your brain stop perceiving the stage as a threat..."

Su Chao wouldn't keep anything to himself.

There's no need to wait until the class fee collection time to answer students' questions.

He decided to take his students on an off-campus field trip in a few days when it got a bit cooler.

I changed my clothes and squatted down on the overpass.

Place a bowl in front of it...

After all that commotion, I lost all sense of shame.

"Principal, may I ask you a rather personal question?"

Qin Hailu couldn't hold back any longer.

"Go ahead and ask, but I can't guarantee I'll answer."

Su Chao has no intention of indulging this future Feitian TV Queen and Golden Horse Award Best Actress.

Why ask about your private matters when you don't go to pee during break time?

"Principal, how old are you exactly?"

Qin Hailu couldn't sleep at night until she figured this out.

"?"

Su Chao looked completely bewildered.

Are they finally going to harm me?
"We guessed you're under twenty-five, right?"

Qin Hailu continued gossiping, and the other trainees perked up as well.

How old do you think he is?

Su Chao's expression was solemn. He pointed at Huang Bo and asked Qin Hailu.

"Twenty-eight? Thirty-two! Hmm, just over thirty."

Qin Hailu muttered to himself for a moment before giving his answer.

"Yes, I am twenty-four years old this year."

Su Chao breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that I've gotten old, it's that these people are blind.

Huang Bo is actually only twenty-one years old.

He simply dyed his blond hair back and dressed a bit older, which immediately made him look ten years older.

It's not a big deal that Su Chao is seven years older than him.

Unfortunately, the break between classes was too short for the girls to continue their gossip.

After Su Chao finished his second class, his task for the day was complete.

Next, Huang Bo and Li Jie will work together to teach everyone posture.

Su Chao explained that the original physical education teacher broke his leg, so the teaching assistant had to take his place.

Persuading Li Jie was simple.

This guy isn't in a great financial situation, so if there were a part-time opportunity, he would definitely take it.

However, his skill level is not very high.

Su Chao will continue to hire a professional posture coach to teach him.

He left after finishing his class.

I rode my bicycle to the set of "The Emperor's Shadow" to get photos from the photographer.

The capital city is not the main filming location for "The Emperor's Shadow"; we will be filming elsewhere in a couple of days.

If you don't take it now, who knows when you'll get another chance?

Su Chao couldn't wait to hang Jiang Wen and Ge You on the wall.
