The life of a man on the road of film and television

The old professor’s surname was Wang. He had heard from his favorite student that he had received a talented student, so he was particularly curious about Siqi.

When he met Siqi today and learned about his teaching, he couldn't help but think that this kid was indeed a good one, but he didn't know how well he played the piano. When he saw that he had a piano with him, he asked Siqi to play a song for him.

Before coming, Teacher Yang specifically reminded Siqi to carry Fuxi on her back. Seeing that Professor Wang was willing to listen, she felt honored. As the three of them talked, they walked towards Professor Wang's office.

"Very good. Although the fingering is a little unfamiliar, the rhythm is very smooth. You are a genius to be able to play like this after only learning for half a month.

Playing the piano requires one to be humble and not become complacent because of temporary success. One must practice more when one has time.

Only long-term practice can make your fingers more flexible, and your current piano sound obviously lacks emotion. Repeated practice can allow you to better invest your emotions and play songs that the audience can recognize.

Professor Wang nodded with satisfaction after listening to the performance, but he still reminded Siqi to avoid praising her too much as it would make her too conceited.

"Yes, I will practice more. Thank you for your guidance, professor."

After receiving Professor Wang's advice, Siqi happily accepted it. Afterwards, Professor Wang told him a lot of knowledge about the guqin and corrected Siqi's shortcomings in fingering conversion.

After Siqi made the corrections, she played the song again. Sure enough, after the corrections, her fingering and transitions were smoother than before.

"Good, you play well. You are so good at this level at such a young age. Lao Wang, you are a good teacher. Please introduce it to us."

As soon as Siqi's piano music stopped, several crosstalks were heard from the door. The speaker was an old man in a white Tang suit, holding a Xiangfei bamboo fan in his hand.

The old man came in, followed by two people of similar age, one wearing a short-sleeved shirt and jeans, and the other wearing a shirt and trousers.

"How did you get here?"

When Professor Wang heard the visitor's words, he shook his head helplessly. After the three people sat down, he pointed to the tea table and asked Teacher Yang to pour tea for them. Then he looked at the three people and asked.

"When I heard the sound of your piano, I thought it was Xiao Yang playing the piano. When I got closer, I realized that your technique was a little immature, but you played it very well, so I came in to take a look."

The old man in white was fanning himself, looking at Siqi, smiling, and drinking a sip of tea before speaking.

As soon as the old people came in, Siqi stood up, watched Teacher Yang make tea for everyone, and followed to help. Then she and Teacher Yang stood next to Professor Wang and listened to the four people chatting.

"Is this little guy Xiao Yang's student?"

As soon as the old man in white finished speaking, another old man in short-sleeved shirt interrupted him in an anxious tone.

"This is Xiao Yang's new apprentice, his name is Zhou Siqi."

"Siqi, the one holding the fan is Professor Feng from the Film Department, this one is Professor Wu from the Acting Department, and the one wearing a shirt is Vice President Zheng from the Central Academy of Drama."

Professor Wang introduced the three old men to Siqi one by one.

"Hello, Professor Feng, Hello, Professor Wu, Hello, Vice President Zheng"

Oh my god, it's so hard to pronounce. She almost bit her tongue. Siqi looked obedient but complained in her heart.

"Little kid or high school student?"

Vice Principal Zheng, who had been smiling the whole time, looked at Siqi and asked, thinking that this was a good seedling, and if her academic performance was also good, she could be specially recruited.

“I am already a freshman, currently studying computer science at Qingda University.”

Hearing the question, Siqi quickly started to explain.

"Pity"

Vice Principal Zheng shook his head regretfully. It would be great if such a talented student could come to their school to learn piano or acting.

"It doesn't look like that. I thought you were in the first year of high school."

After taking a look at Siqi, Professor Feng also felt it was a pity.

How should I answer this? Siqi thought about it, and was speechless for a moment, so she could only smile implicitly.

"It's summer vacation now, do you have time to come and play a role with me?"

Professor Wu, who was anxiously waiting for the next person to speak, finally got a chance to speak. He had something to say just now but was interrupted by these disruptive people.

"Look how anxious you are, but the child can't run away"

Professor Feng rolled his eyes at Professor Wu, saying that he was so impatient at his age.

Professor Wu, who was being criticized, ignored Professor Feng and just looked at Siqi with hope.

"Ah? But I haven't studied acting."

Siqi was startled. What was going on?

"You don't need to perform, Lao Wang, you know, the role of the piano player in our play is very suitable for him."

Seeing that Siqi was not interested and wanted to refuse, Professor Wu became anxious and looked at Professor Wang eagerly.

"Oh, you mean the musician? Doesn't that character have to wear red? That doesn't suit Siqi."

At this time, Professor Wang also remembered what Professor Wang said, but that role...

"It will definitely be suitable after you put on the makeup. You don't need to perform. You can go on stage when it's your turn. A show is only about ten minutes long. There are no lines. You just need to sit there and play the piano."

Seeing Professor Wang hesitating, Professor Wu secretly hated his old friend for not helping, so he had to look at Siqi expectantly again.

Siqi looked at Teacher Yang at a loss. Teacher Yang didn't say anything, but just responded with a look that said, "It's up to you to decide."

Being looked at by Professor Wu in that way, Siqi thought about it and felt embarrassed to refuse. There was no lines to be said anyway, so she just put on red clothes and played the piano. That should be fine.

"But I have only been learning the piano for a short time, so I may not be able to meet your expectations. Besides, there will be a lot of people in the audience, and I am afraid that I will be embarrassed and get stage fright..."

However, Siqi decided to explain her situation first, instead of waiting until the performance to discover that she was not adapting, which would waste other people's time.

"Let's go, we'll go there now"

Siqi just relaxed a little, but she was just a little worried. Since she was worried, how would she know if it was suitable if she didn't try it?

Therefore, Professor Wu immediately stood up and pulled Siqi out. The people behind him looked at each other in silence and had no choice but to follow.

In this way, the group of people hurriedly walked towards the rehearsal hall. Before leaving, Professor Wang did not forget to ask Teacher Yang to take Siqi's piano as well.

Arriving at the Great Hall, Siqi looked at the stage layout and it seemed like a play from the Republic of China.

When Professor Wu came in just now, he asked someone to get a stack of papers. After getting them, he walked back and handed the stack of papers to Siqi. Siqi took it and took a look. It was a music score.

"You should familiarize yourself with the music first. That stage over there is where you will sit during the performance. When they finish rehearsing, you can go over and try out the piano."

Looking in the direction of Professor Wu's finger, there was a small half-covered stage on the upper right side of the stage, with a low table and round cushions on it.

"OK"

He nodded obediently, and waited until the elders over there were seated before Siqi sat down behind them. He lowered his head to glance at the music, which was a piece of music called "Mountain Ghost". He had seen it online before. It was a very comfortable and leisurely song.

After carefully reading it several times, Siqi memorized the music score. After reciting it in her mind to make sure she had memorized it clearly, she closed her work and sat there obediently to watch the students on the stands rehearse.

The professors who had been paying attention to him saw him put down the music score and thought he didn't understand something and were about to ask him.

Teacher Yang quickly explained that Siqi had a photographic memory. Vice Principal Zheng's love for talent was aroused again, and he thought it was a pity that their school missed out on this opportunity.
