Chapter 369 Torch Fire

After the thunderous applause, the girl asked again: "Teacher Xu, you once said that your alma mater, Beijing Film Academy is the best school. So now, as our department director, do you still think so?"

Xu Rong did not answer the girl's question immediately, but asked: "Can you tell me what your name is?"

The girl looked at Xu Rong who was smiling warmly curiously and said clearly: "My name is Chi Ningning."

"Okay, Chi Ningning, your name sounds very nice and impressive." Xu Rong nodded gently, "As your teacher and department director, I will answer your question with one question. In your eyes, am I a good teacher?"

Chi Ningning held the microphone and immediately stood there. Is Xu Rong a good teacher?

She didn't know, because so far, she had only seen Xu Rong twice, one at the opening ceremony, and the other today. The most important thing is that Xu Rong is the department head. And according to rumors, Xu Rong's influence is not only limited to the north or south, which means that once she gave a negative answer today, not only could she not graduate smoothly, but she immediately cut off her own industry when she walked out of the school gate four years later, but when she was staring at everyone, she blushed and said with her face: "Yes, yes, I think what you just said was very good."

Xu Rong looked at her with a smile and said, "I believe that your words are sincere, just like me back then."

Although Xu Rong said "sincerely", there were waves of kind laughter in the auditorium. Growing up under the same cultural background, most people could understand another meaning.

On the other hand, Cui Xinqin, who was also watching the live broadcast in the classroom, was also Xu Rong's class teacher. Hearing the muttering of "The senior typhoon is really stable" and "awesome" behind him, he shook his head with a smile. Xu Rong was able to emerge from the fiercely competitive industry, suffered hardships, and suffered even shame. Although he was actually the same age as the students in the audience, in his eyes, perhaps most students seemed extremely aggressive, but to him, it was just a house.

The Internet is also quite lively, with some people following Chi Ningning and Xu Rong's answers, and of course there are also many people who focus on other aspects.

"Hahaha, come on Chi Ningning."

"This answer is really awesome."

"Hey, have you noticed that Xu Rong's PPT has only 32 words in total, including eight words 'basic performance theory' and 'thank you'. That is to say, he just talked about 24 words for an hour and a half?"

"It's really, Teacher Xu is so powerful, she is very wise and stupid, but she is more skillful than skill!"

"This shows that Teacher Xu is thinking, cultivating, and knowledgeable. Otherwise, why would you think you could only speak for an hour and a half in 24 words?"

"Can this be praised? Judging from my level of PPT for ten years, he obviously can't do it, so he did that."

After the applause in the auditorium for unknown amounts, in the corner of the first row, a thin boy wearing black-framed glasses stood up and stuttered: "Xu, Teacher Xu, I, I, I, I, I especially like you, I, I want to ask, ask you, a question, a question."

The reason why it seems to be a student is that the boy's clothes are indeed not much different from other students sitting, but Xu Rong did not see from him the motivation and even vitality that a young man in his twenties should have.

He held the microphone tightly with both hands, as if he had plucked up a great courage before he stood up to ask questions.

From him, Xu Rong only felt inferior, confused, helpless, and similar states. He had seen it from many classmates two years ago. It was a whole year before graduation. He went to the interview like crazy. After being rejected again and again, he felt helpless and desperate as if he was teased by fate.

"Hahaha."

Because of the boy's stuttering, bursts of not-so-sounding laughter sounded everywhere in the auditorium.

Most of the students who come to listen to the class today are freshmen to seniors in the performance department. Stuttering, even students in college classes, theoretically, is impossible, because they will be beaten during the art exam. However, it is not unreasonable to stutter because of psychological factors and the gaze of the camera and more than a thousand classmates.

There are always some people who are born not good at expressing themselves. Of course, it is difficult for such people to become a good actor without changing this habit, because even if it is filmed by film and television, they will perform under the watch of dozens of people.

Xu Rong listened to the laughter and did not show any displeasure. If it was normal for class, he would point out without hesitation that this was wrong, but now it is a live broadcast on the Internet. Once that is done, the situation will slide slightly in an uncontrollable direction.

He walked down the podium in the auditorium and slowly walked to the boy. His eyes were gentle and he looked at the boy with red face and wet eyes in front of him. He gently patted his tight arm and smiled and said, "Thank you for your love. Be calm. We are all our own people here. You are not interviewing, and there is no interviewer here. And I like your courage to stand up and ask questions. Don't be afraid of saying something wrong. It doesn't matter if you say something wrong. I have been working in this kind of 'screen' for seven or eight years, and I will feel nervous now."

After a few seconds, the boy suddenly bent down and whispered: "Thank you."

At this moment, the auditorium was quiet and there was almost no noise anymore, but the live broadcast platform exploded instantly.

"Wow, the real Xu Rong is so warm, I like it so much!"

"What a god, I feel that Xu Rong is shining. No, I won't take the Beijing Film Academy exam. I'm going to the Central Academy of Drama, I'm going to find Teacher Xu."

"Friendly reminder: Xu Rong is also a visiting professor in the Performance Department of Beijing Electric. In theory, he may also teach Nortel."

"What about going to the theater?"

"What about going to the theater?"

"What about going to the theater?"

"Yes, are you so unstoppable in the theater? Everyone has it, but are you there?"

The student in Shanghai Theater who was watching the live broadcast was confused. Why did he suddenly get ridiculed by the Internet group?

The boy calmed down and then slowly said, "Teacher Xu, I just want to ask you a question, that is, you always stressed how important acting is, but only acting is really meaningful? I am now in my senior year and will graduate in another half a year. I didn't study hard before, practice hard, and always failed the course. Now, is it still too late?"

As the boy finished speaking, a burst of applause was heard inexplicably in the auditorium.

The middle-aged man with a national face beside Xu Xiang looked at the scene blankly. Although he was applauding, he still asked in wonder: "Dean, why did he suddenly applaud?"

Xu Xiang sighed and said, "Because he has become a role model."

Xu Rong gently patted the boy on the shoulder and thought about this question. Is acting really important?

He has heard of similar questions countless times. In the past, he was usually too lazy to pay attention to his colleagues who raised such questions, because ideas are inherent and it is impossible to completely change his own ideas just because of his words.

Maybe his cooking of a bowl of good chicken soup will make the other party feel confident and full of energy for the time being, but maybe after three or five minutes of heat, the impulse will dissipate.

But today, he had to talk. While walking gently in the auditorium, he said slowly: "This classmate's question is very good. It can be said that he asked many people's doubts. For a long time, many laymen and even practitioners in our industry have some prejudice against the profession we are engaged in. Some people think that ours is also a very high-end profession, and some people just the opposite, thinking that we are liars."

"I don't want to talk about the views of these two types of people because there is no meaning to talk about them. Just now, this classmate asked me, is acting really important? So as a technology, if you can repair air conditioners, can you definitely be the president of Haier?"

He walked back through the corridor in the middle of the seat and said, "I don't think so, because all the people who asked this question seem to have not mentioned the preconditions, but in fact they all have implicit conditions. 'Is acting very important?' In fact, the complete statement should be 'Is acting very important for making a name for themselves and making a lot of money?'."

Xu Rong stood behind the auditorium, and his voice was converted through the microphone and spread through the speakers to the entire auditorium: "My answer may be a bit negative. If you are famous and making a lot of money, your acting skills may not be very important."

"Then there will definitely be classmates asking me, since I can't be famous, why do I need to practice martial arts? I personally think this is a very incredible logic. Does an air conditioner repairman feel that he can't become the president of Haier by relying on technology alone, so he won't learn technology?"

Xu Rong looked at the students and cameras in the auditorium, turned his head, looked at him in confusion, and asked back, "Isn't this the reason?"

"Why do I say it's not necessarily important, not necessarily not important?" Xu Rong paused and walked forward, saying, "I'm asking all of you a question now. Students whose annual family income is more than one million, please raise your hands."

Xu Rong did not look back, but walked up to the podium ahead step by step and said, "Even if I don't look, I can guess it, less than one-fifth."

"Ah, this guy is pretending, a little stiff."

"Okay, I admit, this forced him to pretend."

Xu Rong turned around, looked at the few arms raised from the audience, and said, "Please put down your hands, so most of us are the same, they are ordinary people, and there is no billions of property at home waiting for us to go back and inherit. In this case, after you leave the school gate, you don't even have a skill. Why do you make your life better and your family?"

"As a technology, the primary purpose of acting is not to make a name for most people who are sitting in the industry, but to let you master a survival ability and a technology to improve your living conditions. Otherwise, after graduation, your income may not be even comparable to a migrant worker, because now the income of migrant workers can basically reach 6,000 per month."

"Wow."

As soon as Xu Rong finished speaking, the scene was in an uproar, because the moment most students entered the school gate, they all had the idea of ​​becoming movie stars, and the rest were confused and came to the school in a mess. Just like Xu Rong seven or eight years ago, there were only ones who just wanted to learn something and make some money in supporting roles and make some money better.

"I'll go, how could he say that?"

"What does it mean that 'Your income is likely to be unable to compare with a migrant worker?' Xu Rong discriminates against migrant workers, and he discriminates against migrant workers."

"Brother, please go and inquire before Hei. Xu Rong used to be a migrant worker. According to your wishes, he discriminates against himself?"

Xu Rong looked down at the audience and said, "If you don't act and live a relatively generous life by working, your acting skills and even any survival skills are irrelevant to you, but if you are like me and like most people, you have no choice but to master a skill and strive to achieve success. I think this is the only choice for most students sitting there. Students, classmates, you must know that happiness is achieved through hard work!"

Finally, Xu Rong looked at the boy who asked just now and smiled and said, "But don't be discouraged, don't think it's too late. Look, you're younger than me, right?"

"Hahaha."

At Li Xuejian's home, Li Xuejian, who was sitting behind Li Geng, was chewing on this sentence, saying "Happiness is achieved through struggle!" and said with emotion: "Yes, isn't happiness a result of struggle?!"

Li Geng glanced back and said, "I think the saying, 'There is no choice but to work hard to achieve success!' It sounds even more exciting."

"You don't understand." Li Xuejian shook his head, but did not explain. Li Geng suffered less, so it was naturally difficult to understand the meaning of it.

Many middle-aged people, like Li Xuejian, who have relatively rich experiences, couldn't help but fall into deep thought when they heard this.

"Teacher Xu, I have a question. You said before that an actress named Yuan Yu has very strong business skills. How much do you think is the business skills? Is there only a suitable role to be missing from Hong?"

Xu Rong looked at the students watching him from the audience, feeling disappointed and said, "Sorry, I can't answer you this question, but I can provide you with a standard."

"At present, many people think they have acting skills and even have very strong professional skills. They brag about themselves on shows everywhere. In fact, they have just learned to act and can't even act."

At this moment, the microphone suddenly disappeared. Xu Ronghou looked at the microphone in his hand and "heat" twice, but the tube did not react at all. He knocked it with his hand again, but it was still useless.

He immediately looked at the thrift young man sitting in the first row.

The short and fat young man had already come over, took the microphone, debugged it, and then "hehe" sounded twice, and a loud sound immediately spread throughout the auditorium.

"Teacher Xu, that's OK."

Xu Rong nodded, took the microphone, leaned closer, opened his mouth, and opened his mouth again, but the microphone seemed to be targeting him, but it still didn't make any sound.

He looked at the young man in shock, as if he felt confused.

The young man took the microphone blankly, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully, wondering: "It shouldn't be?"

"Shouldn't it?"

His voice immediately rang in the auditorium. When he heard the sound, the short and fat young man was stunned. He looked at Xu Rong for two seconds and asked tentatively: "Teacher Xu, why don't you try again?"

Xu Rong took the microphone with a smile and said to it: "Thank you, then now, this microphone is fine from beginning to end."

In the confused eyes of the short and fat young man and the students, Xu Rong asked with a smile: "If you have to ask me the standard, I think this should be the bottom line. The microphone is good, but when I use it, you will think that the microphone is broken, not that I didn't make a sound, or that my tapping action was not forceful. As I said before, performance requires us to mobilize our attention, imagination, belief and sense of reality, sensation and adaptability, observation and simulation ability, and the expressiveness of body and language, to listen, see, and feel."

"Wow."

“Buzz.”

As Xu Rong's voice fell, the auditorium was in an uproar, because the standards provided by Xu Rong were almost impossible to meet.

The netizens who were still mocking the equipment garbage of the Central Academy of Drama just now were even more furious.

"Damn, I was cheated by him."

"Good, was that scene just now true? No one will control it in the background, right?"

"Incredible, it's really incredible. I didn't think his acting skills were good when watching TV before, but today I was completely convinced."

As the topics derived from open classes are increasing, the Weibo system collapsed before the open classes are about to end.

After the auditorium was completely calmed down, Xu Rongcai smiled and said, "I have conducted the questions raised by several classmates just now from a technical level. Due to time constraints, today's course ends here. In addition, for other questions, I borrowed the words of an ancestor to make a unified reply."

"I hope that all Chinese youth will get rid of the air conditioner and just move upward without listening to the words of those who give up. They can do things and speak out."

"A little heat and light will make it like a firefly, and it can also shine a little light in the dark."

"Don't wait for the torch, if there is no torch after that, I will be the only light."
