Chapter 152 1 It must be that evil system that changed me!
There were no exaggerated movements.
He merely hunched his back slightly, his once upright posture instantly becoming somewhat tired and relaxed.
He raised his hand as if to hold two knitting needles.
"Old man, stop reading the newspaper."
Jiang Bai spoke.
Although it was a male voice, the tone, the expression, and the rambling feeling unique to middle-aged women instantly came to mind!
Lin Le (playing the father) and Su Ze (playing the son) were still getting into character.
As a result, Jiang Bai's shout pulled them right in!
Lin Le subconsciously put down the book (prop) in her hand, frowned, and asked, "What is it now?"
Su Ze looked even more impatient: "Mom! I already said I want a guitar!"
Jiang Bai sighed, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and doting—the typical look of a loving mother.
He reached out to touch Su Ze's head, but Su Ze dodged him.
Jiang Bai's hand froze in mid-air, then he naturally withdrew it and wiped it on his clothes.
It's like an apron that doesn't exist.
This little detail is absolutely brilliant!
The whole class was stunned.
Most of them haven't even scratched the surface of performance; they don't understand what technique is.
They only felt—
"Holy crap, Jiang Bai's acting is just like my mom's!"
"That look in my eyes is exactly the same as when my mom doesn't want to give me money but also feels sorry for me!"
"Is this really acting? It feels like he's about to pull out two hundred yuan from his pocket and give it to his son any second now."
The performance ended quickly.
There wasn't any intense conflict, but Jiang Bai perfectly captured the triviality and realism of family life.
"good!"
Professor Wang led the applause, his eyes filled with surprise.
"This set is excellent!"
"Especially the student who plays the mother, your name is Jiang Bai, right?"
"You have an incredibly strong sense of conviction!"
"That hand-wiping gesture, you added it yourself, didn't you? Excellent! That's what life is all about!"
but.
Professor Wang then changed the subject and pointed out the problem:
"However, there is one drawback."
"Your delivery of the lines, while the tone was on point, seemed to lack a little bit of emotional depth."
"It feels like... you're deliberately suppressing something, not fully releasing it."
"There's still room for improvement in how well the voice matches the character."
Jiang Bai stood on the stage, obediently nodding as he received instruction:
"The teacher is right, I will improve."
But inwardly, he was bitterly smiling:
"Can we not suppress it?"
"If I were to fully unleash my power, I could switch directly to the voice of a middle-aged woman using [Androgynous]..."
"That would shatter the entire class's worldview!"
"At that point, Old Zhang will probably start questioning the meaning of life again!"
.......
The review session has ended, and Jiang Bai's group has stepped down.
Jiang Bai's roommates showered him with compliments: "Third brother, you're amazing! When I saw you like that just now, I almost wanted to kneel down and call you 'Mom'!"
Just then.
"Next group!"
The fourth group of students came up.
The whole class fell silent instantly.
Then came a series of gasps.
On the platform, a large row of people stood.
One, two, three... seven, eight!
Eight people in total!
Professor Wang pushed up his glasses, feeling his high blood pressure about to flare up.
"stop!"
"Are you guys acting out a family drama like this?"
"Who has eight people in a family of three? Are they some kind of illegal birth control guerrillas?"
"Jiang Bai's group has one extra Yan Shu, which is fine, but what's with the five extra guys in your group?"
The boy in the lead, with a serious expression, introduced himself with an air of self-righteousness:
"Teacher! We are a complete ecosystem!"
He pointed to his brothers behind him:
"This one is playing the money tree."
"This guy's playing the air! He's responsible for creating that dull, family atmosphere!"
"This guy's an actor! He's responsible for getting thrown around by his son!"
"This one will play the window! He'll let the light in!"
"And this one..."
The boy pointed to the last guy squatting on the ground:
"He's the one playing the carpet! His job is to get stepped on!"
"......"
The entire class was deathly silent.
Three seconds later.
"Hahahaha!"
The bursts of laughter nearly blew the roof off.
"What the hell is this?!"
"Are you serious, bro, the one who did the carpet scene?"
"This isn't an acting class, it's like performing a skit!"
Professor Wang clutched his forehead in pain and remained silent for a long time.
Finally, he waved his hand weakly:
"Go down..."
"You have a great imagination."
"But next time... don't even think about it."
soon.
At noon, the bell rang precisely when get out of class ended.
As Professor Wang said, "Remember to find a sad performance and go on stage next week," the four students from dormitory 404 rushed out of the teaching building with the vast army of dry rice.
after eating.
Back in his dorm room, Jiang Bai tossed his book onto the table and was about to climb into bed for a nap.
Ding Dong!
The WeChat notification sound has gone off.
Jiang Bai took out his phone and looked at it.
It turned out to be Yu Zheng.
Yu Zheng: "Xiao Bai, I've got you a job."
Yu Zheng: "I have a friend, Lao Xu, who makes art films. His movie is in need of a theme song."
Yu Zheng: "I recommended your song 'Baby' to him, and he cried like a baby after listening to it. He wanted to buy it as a background music."
Yu Zheng: "I've already given you his business card. You two can talk to each other."
Immediately after, Yu Zheng sent another message, his tone sly and suggesting, "You can trust me to handle things."
"Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped."
"What I told him was that the song was sung by a genius girl named Jiang Baizhi. I didn't say anything else. Your secret is absolutely safe!"
Jiang Bai's lips twitched slightly after hearing this.
"That old fox... he did it on purpose, didn't he?"
"If he hadn't said those last few sentences, I would have thought he was helping me, but once he said them, it just felt weird."
The voice just fell.
A small red dot appeared in the contacts list.
[New friends].
Note: Director: Lao Xu.
Jiang Bai clicked "Approved".
The other party had clearly been watching their phone the whole time, sending a very polite message immediately after accepting the request.
Old Xu: "Hello, is this Teacher Jiang Baizhi?"
Xu: "I am director Xu Wenshan. Lao Yu should have mentioned me to you."
Old Xu: "Excuse me for bothering you, but your song 'Baby' really touched me! Its healing power is perfect for a scene in my movie!"
Looking at "Teacher Jiang Baizhi" on the screen, Jiang Bai could only grit his teeth and switch to goddess mode to reply:
Jiang Bai: "Director Xu, you flatter me. It is my honor to be chosen by you."
Lao Xu: "That's right, the movie has already entered post-production, so we're in a bit of a rush."
Old Xu: "I happen to be in Shanghai these days attending a film festival. If it's convenient for you, would it be possible to meet this afternoon? We could discuss copyright and licensing matters in person?"
Old Xu: "Don't worry about the price. Although it's a low-budget production, I will never shortchange a good piece!"
Meet?
In Shanghai?
Jiang Bai was stunned for a moment.
What a coincidence!
But then I thought about it again, and this is a really good thing!
That's a movie theme song!
Once the movie is released, its reach will be much wider than simply releasing a song!
Moreover, the audience for movies is different from that for variety shows, which will bring in a new wave of popularity!
"afternoon......."
Jiang Bai glanced at the class schedule.
There are no classes this afternoon, so it's all free time.
"available!"
"A fool wouldn't take the money!"
Jiang Bai replied:
"Sure, Director Xu, I happen to have time this afternoon."
"How about we meet at a coffee shop near the Shanghai Theatre Academy?"
Old Xu: "Okay! No problem! 3 PM, see you there!"
Put down your phone.
Jiang Bai looked at himself in the mirror and took a deep breath.
Since the discussion is about copyright under the name of "Jiang Baizhi"...
You definitely can't wear men's clothing.
Otherwise, how can it be explained?
Are you saying I'm Jiang Baizhi's agent?
It's possible, but that would seem too formal and would easily give away the secret.
"It seems..."
"I need to transform again."
Jiang Bai opened the system space and looked at the forest-style long dress and the pile of wig accessories inside.
"However, I don't think I'm afraid of cross-dressing anymore?"
"It must be that evil system that changed me!"
