Chapter 160: Teaching Drama
The two of them discussed at the café for a long time. Under Yang Xiaoxiu’s patient explanation, Li Jing learned a lot about acting, which gradually helped him understand the true techniques and methods of acting from a rookie’s perspective.
There’s no denying that Yang Xiaoxiu’s professional skills are indeed strong, with especially solid fundamentals.
It was through this exchange that Li Jing learned Yang Xiaoxiu was the top student in their class, which made him see her in a new light.
After they left the café, Yang Xiaoxiu continued to explain the plot and analyze the characters for Li Jing.
As evening approached, Li Jing simply booked a private room at a decent restaurant so they could continue their discussion, and also try to practice some scenes.
In order to help Li Jing meet the standards as soon as possible, Yang Xiaoxiu even specifically studied the female character who had the most scenes with Jiangnan and took on that role herself to help Li Jing perform.
Holding the script, Yang Xiaoxiu read: "Let’s imagine now, the sunlight shines through the somewhat outdated windows of the state-owned factory and falls on rows of machines, with the smell of oil and metal permeating the air."
With that, she looked at Li Jing: "In a corner of the workshop, you, as Jiangnan, are looking at me busy at the lathe, holding an apple."
Seeing Yang Xiaoxiu put down the script, Li Jing knew it had started. After taking a deep breath, his expression changed, and he smiled slightly with a bit of teasing: "Why are you like this machine, once you get busy, you can’t stop? Are you trying to see who is more dedicated, you or it?"
Yang Xiaoxiu rolled her eyes at him, her hands acting out imaginary movements non-stop: "Hmph, if I weren’t busy, this work would pile up like a mountain. Unlike you, wandering around all day."
Li Jing walked over, leaned against the imagined lathe: "I’m just balancing work and rest. Be careful not to turn yourself into a robot. Otherwise, I’ll only be able to oil you."
Yang Xiaoxiu stopped her work, picked up a wrench as if to hit him: "All you do is make snide remarks. Instead of wasting time, why not help me?"
