"But, suddenly at such short notice, I’m not very familiar with them, I..." She was a bit anxious, this sudden task caught her off guard, if she couldn’t learn with them, it would always be hard to make progress.
"However, these fools still couldn’t tell you were acting, couldn’t even see through you!" He glanced at the trainees and snorted coldly, his meaning shifted.
The trainees all bowed their heads, casting even more hateful glances at Ji Niandong.
"Do you guys know what you’re lacking now? How many times have I told you, in acting, the most important thing is genuineness. How do you achieve that? By experiencing and observing earnestly. Where are your hearts at? Envious of others signing good companies, envious of others getting to act! But why doesn’t it happen to you? Because you’re not genuine! Keep practicing hard!"
After scolding them, he started to walk out. Ji Niandong stood there not knowing what to do, when Sheng Mingyuan suddenly turned back and said, "Since they couldn’t tell you were acting, a posture teacher is coming for a class soon, you join them!"
After speaking, he pushed the door and left. It took Ji Niandong a few seconds to react, she was so happy she could barely contain her excitement.
"Someone’s happy now, hasn’t even joined yet and already colluding with the old man to deceive us!"
"Huanhuan, be careful, what if she rats us out again!" a boy next to her reminded.
"What’s there to be afraid of? Didn’t she just say we called him a menopausal old man, if he really kicks us out, who will pay him?"
Before they finished speaking, the posture teacher had already started walking in, clapping hands, "Everyone start getting ready!"
The boys all groaned in unison.
"Is this the new one! Show me a split first, it’s okay if you can’t do it!" The posture teacher wanted to assess her body’s flexibility.
The trainees all looked at Ji Niandong, waiting to see a show, but then Ji Niandong quickly showed a perfect 180-degree split in both directions.
Her body was naturally quite flexible, and she used to enjoy practicing yoga at home in her spare time, over time her body became very pliable.
The posture teacher was pleasantly surprised, came over, pressed her back down, but met no resistance.
"It’s really been a long time since I’ve seen such a flexible body, have you practiced dance before?" the posture teacher asked.
"No, I just like practicing yoga at home!" Ji Niandong replied calmly, unaffected by praise or blame.
The other trainees didn’t make a sound, pursing their lips, but inwardly they respected her.
"Alright, the rest of you follow my practice, you can also try it, if there’s no pressure, you can go find Teacher Sheng to try other tasks!"
Ji Niandong began practicing with the posture teacher, while the others quietly groaned in pain, only she felt no pressure at all, eventually the teacher directly let her go out to find Sheng Mingyuan.
Sheng Mingyuan was studying the video when he saw her knock and enter, slightly surprised, "What, got kicked out already?"
She shook her head, with a hint of pride on her face, "The teacher asked me to come out, I can perfectly execute all the teacher’s movements."
Sheng Mingyuan looked her body up and down, making her slightly uncomfortable, quite dislike, so she went straight to sit down.
Sheng Mingyuan noticed too, withdrew his gaze, and asked, "Did you bring the script for ’Choked Love’? Since you don’t have to attend the posture class, I can see if you are qualified to go to the set!"
He cleared his throat, feeling somewhat awkward.
