I REALLY CAN’T ACT
SUMMARY –
According to Jianghu rumors, the following levels for Mei Zihan’s fans are:
After watching one of his local dramas, they are passersby fans; after watching ten, they are true love fans; after watching all of them, they are fans of the ultimate ashes. But on the way to upgrade fan status, most do not go from passersby fans to true love fans. Instead, the transformation is the blackening of a fan.
Mei Zihan has a glorious name, but he often acts in soap opera with bitter mother-in-law conflicts and anti Japanese war drama. Before meeting Jiang Ying, Mei Zihan’s biggest wish was to become a middle-aged handsome uncle. After meeting him, he was forced to act in the theatre group and go home to practice. What kind of acting do you need for a show that causes brain damage? It’s good enough to live. Honey, I really can’t act!

Chapter -4 – performance
Mei Zihan froze in place.
this tone… this look, he suddenly remembered the director of the teaching department who had left a huge impact in his childhood life.
However, when Mei Zihan’s eyes met Jiang Ying’s face, his fear immediately turned into in lust, and his gaze turning strange.
“Unexpectedly, you have studied acting.” Mei Zihan touched his nose, as he sighed pretentiously, but he didn’t pay much attention to Jiang Ying’s evaluation.
Jiang Ying didn’t reply , as he gazed at Mei Zihan and then turned around and entered the bedroom.
Huh?
Mei Zihan was a little puzzled.
Is Jiang Ying angry?
But he didn’t do anything just now. Could it be that the teacher still requires the students who are being taught to admit their mistakes in time? [ t/n : mei zihan is talking about the fact that he didn’t take jiang ying’s evaluation seriously]
Before Mei Zihan could think through, Jiang Ying walked out of the bedroom with a folder in his hand.
“Here you are.” Jiang Ying handed the folder to Mei Zihan.
Though Mei Zihan was confused, he still obediently opened the folder.
! ! ! !
Bachelor of Directing, Department of Art, School of Fine Arts, Capital University, U.S.A.
Postgraduate of the Performing Arts Department of Qiao State University of Arts.
Double degree Ph.D. in choreography from Alexandria University of Performing Arts.
There are also honorary certificates such as —
“First Prize in XX Theater Performance Program”,
“Best Director of XX Conference” and so on.
Fortunately, Mei Zihan had passed the eighth grade in English because of his professionalism. Otherwise, he really couldn’t understand the words written, and there were some words he didn’t recognize, and 80% of them were numerous awards.
“…Dear, dear, do college teachers also need to apply for a fake certificate’s? it looks quite real.” Mei Zihan struggled to put a smile, on his face, his tone couldn’t hide his surprise.
No matter which of these college’s, they are all very prominent.
Almost all the famous actors, screenwriters, and directors in the world come from these three schools. Even if they are not students from these schools, they will choose to continue their studies in these schools after they are successful.
I remember that there was a talented actor on the “Xueba” hot search before. Just because he was admitted to one of these three schools, he was praised to the sky. The fans directly praised “My idol is already the didi of the XX actor.” “The successor of the Queen of XX” and so on, there was no difference between his and an a movie king’s lime-light.
But now, Jiang Ying took out three in one breath.
My god.
Mei Zihan used to secretly feel that his academic qualifications can be regarded as a “student tyrant” in the entertainment circle, but compared with others, he is a ” study scum”.
“Do you think they are fake?” Jiang Ying smiled slightly. “The phone numbers of these three schools are all public. If you don’t believe it, you can call.”
It is absolutely impossible to fabricate the documents of these three schools even if you want to.
Mei Zihan swallowed his saliva, only to feel that what stood in front of him was not a living person, but a gleaming statue with words like ” study god” and “idol” written on it.
“Then…then with these things, why don’t you enter the entertainment industry? Even if you don’t, you can become a professor in the three major film academies.” But Jiang Ying now teaches language and arts. Directing has nothing to do with it.
“I can learn, but I can’t use it.” Jiang Ying’s eyes darkened, as if he didn’t intend to say more. He seems to have noticed Mei Zihan’s cautious gaze, and looked at him directly.
“But now, I think what I have learned is not useless.” Jiang Ying smiled softly to Mei Zihan, “I can tutor you for free, no money.”
Mei Zihan stepped back two steps.
… The way Jiang Ying said this overlapped with his former director of the teaching department again.
At the beginning, he was stupidly persuaded, but in the end he worked his ass off , Jiang Ying… Jiang Ying is a typical perfectionist and will not let him go easily.
Mei Zihan weighed his mind, and felt that he still couldn’t afford such a great teacher.
If he and Jiang Ying become a teacher-student relationship, how can they happily carry out their “cohabitation work?”
Mei Zihan went to a normal university before, so is extremely sensitive to teacher-student issues.
“I…I don’t need it for the time being.” Mei Zihan said euphemistically, “Actually, the script I made is pretty bad, and my acting skills are just fine. It’s very useful for me to kill a chicken with a sledgehammer. I don’t think I need to be so anxious. . ”
“There is no bad script, only bad performances. “Jiang Ying slightly shook his head,” you are now sorely lacking is not acting, but motivation. “
“motivation…is abundant in the students who just entered the acting community, but gradually, it will be worn out .”
When Mei Zihan first entered the entertainment industry, it was not that he hadn’t worked hard, but he had no good results. In places like the entertainment industry, the effort put in is not comparable to what you get, and there are countless actors who leave the circle every year because of depression. Now that he has been in the industry for so many years, Mei Zihan has already lost his original motivation to make progress.
He is like a snail, always shrunk in his shell, unless someone is whipping him, he wouldn’t take a step forward.
“I think it’s pretty good now.” Mei Zihan couldn’t help resisting. “Nowadays, Japanese and Korean drama’s are popular. My image and age are no longer suitable. But I have it figured out. Nowadays there aren’t lot of middle-aged male actors. As long as I wait a little longer, I won’t worry about the production.”
“What if there are none?” Jiang Ying pierced his illusion relentlessly, “Your current age is now golden, How many years are you going to waste, and how many people have the same plans as you? If you continue like this, even when you reach middle age, others may not be able to appreciate your acting skills.”
“What are you afraid of?” Jiang Ying took a step forward. “You now have no company, no agent, self-sufficient, bought a house, and have a boyfriend. Now you can fight for your career without any scruples. Your acting skills aren’t perfect, it’s okay, I will teach you, your current image is not good, it’s okay, I will give you training, worst come worst is that I will support you for a lifetime.”
“You…me?” Mei Zihan hesitated, but couldn’t get the words out.
“If you want to ask anything, you can say it.” Jiang Ying asked.
Mei Zihan gritted his teeth, and blurted out his doubts, “Among those chasing you, my conditions are definitely not the best. You chose me because of my profession, which allows you to show off your strengths. Huh?”
He really wanted to find a boyfriend, and he was absolutely serious about Jiang Ying.
But Mei Zihan absolutely didn’t want the relationship between him and Jiang Ying to become such an obvious “mentor and apprentice”. What he wanted was a lover .
“Of course not.” Jiang Ying was stunned for a moment and couldn’t help but laugh. “Your career as an actor is just the point that made me look at you more at first. If I wanted to teach , anyone would be fine, why would I go through the trouble to get a boyfriend?”
“I like you very much.” Jiang Ying affirmed, “Actually, I don’t have much ambition.”
Mei Zihan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. What would he be, if Jiang Ying if is a person without ambition?
“It’s true.” Jiang Ying held Mei Zihan’s hand and smiled. “I originally thought that I would be a university teacher for the rest of my life, and it wouldn’t matter if I no longer touch these things. My family allowed me to study which is already very kind, and I also promised not to enter the entertainment circle. But after meeting you, I think maybe what I have learned can be shown to the world through you. If you are here, neither of us will be bored, and I hope that , Our relationship can be closer.”
Lines such as ” drinking honey” appear in major scripts. Mei Zihan himself has acted it countless times, but after all, it is difficult to truly understand the meaning of this sentence.
But now, he knew that this feeling has a refreshing taste from beginning to end. It seemed as if a hundred flowers were in full bloom before his eyes. It was so fascinating that he didn’t know what to do.
Jiang Ying likes him too, and the word “very much” should be added in front of it.
“Okay, I’ll learn, as long as you don’t think I’m stupid.” Mei Zihan’s words turned faster than his mind. He saw Jiang Ying smiling in front of him, and felt that anything was worth it .
“Well, then you first bring your script back, and start learning from your role.” Jiang Ying pinched his ears and smiled.
Mei Zihan smiled stupidly.
Jiang Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was not an emotional person at first, but if he wanted to impress Mei Zihan, he had to talk about love. But being able to show it so seamlessly, it proves that he hasn’t regressed at all in what he learned.
A performance without real feeling is always inferior.
He is sincere, and the performance is naturally realistic.
