"Standing at attention, are you? Sit down and talk!" The deep, resonant voice was very alluring, yet the words that ca out weren't so pleasant.
Ji Niandong imdiately sat down, nervously rubbing her hands on her knees.
"Open the cody app on your phone!" He crossed his arms and ordered, crossing one leg over the other.
Ji Niandong was a bit confused, but could only follow the instructions. She heard him say, "Pick one at random, record it here, and give it to ."
"Huh?"
"Huh, what huh! Hurry up, I don't have all day to waste with you!"
Such a sudden request, Ji Niandong didn't react imdiately, she randomly swiped her phone and opened a clip on the cody app.
She cleared her throat, pressed the start button, listened to the original audio once, and then officially began.
The video was short and was quickly recorded.
Sheng Mingyuan motioned with a finger, and she handed the phone over, her nervous fingers stiff.
During the impromptu check, Sheng Mingyuan watched the video silently, listening to her own recording, thinking the lines seed alright.
She glanced sideways, waiting for the person in front of her to respond.
Sheng Mingyuan handed the phone back to her, stood up to go and set up the projector, then played a tape, "This is a silent film, with no sound at all. Watch it once, then do the dubbing for the protagonist. Feel free with the lines. Of course, if you can read lips, that would be even better!"
After instructing her, Sheng Mingyuan headed out. Ji Niandong hastily called out, "Mr. Sheng, may I know if my cody skit was up to standard?"
Sheng Mingyuan let out a cold snort and shot a glare back at her.
Uh... This proud guy, is it okay or not?!
Never mind, just complete the task first!
Silent films have no synchronized sound or dialogue; if played now, the audience might fall asleep while watching.
But this silent performance best tests an actor's skills. They can only convey their performance to the audience through rich body language and eyes.
The film was quite old, and Ji Niandong had a feeling of watching an old movie. Although the performances were exaggerated, the actors' eyes and expressions were on point, even a movent or expression made it clear what they were doing and what they wanted to say.
Silent films are generally short, Ji Niandong quickly finished watching and beca familiar with the content. Then she watched again, this ti mainly observing the actors' eyes, expressions, and movents to understand her inner feelings.
She watched it at least five tis, while Sheng Mingyuan observed from the computer monitor, lightly rubbing his chin with his fingers.
Many people don't have the patience for silent films, but she didn't seem to mind and was very serious.
From her recorded cody skit, it was evident she is ticulous, able to capture key points to express vividly. Her eyes have a particular liveliness, almost as if they could speak.
The entertainnt industry isn't lacking in people who can act, but expressing with one's eyes is an expression of the soul, the eyes are the window to the heart, revealing one's true inner self.
She indeed is a highly adaptable student with great potential for developnt.
Moreover, with her appearance, if well cultivated, she will have boundless prospects in the entertainnt industry in the future.
It all depends on how she finds her own positioning!
Sheng Mingyuan curled his lips in an irrepressible smile.
Lu Beichen indeed has a good eye, finding such a potential talent. If she'd started training a few years earlier, she'd definitely beco an even better actress than he was back then.
Just like Tong Lu!
