Chapter 5 Shen Fangtian Show Time

Xu Yan chuckled as she watched Shen Fang make a funny face, and then took his hand.

Shen Fang turned to the music teacher and said, "Could you please play a waltz for me?"

The music teacher acknowledged the message, and music began to play.

Shen Fang and Xu Yan struck a professional waltz pose. Holding Xu Yan's hand, they began to dance gracefully, tumbling and leaping. Shen Fang, completely oblivious to the fact that Xu Yan was his future teacher, wrapped his arm around her waist and lifted her hips, performing two difficult 90° turns. The two fluttered like butterflies, constantly drawing circles. Five minutes later, Shen Fang, with his arm around Xu Yan's waist and arms outstretched, looked into Shen Fang's eyes, and the dance ended with them gazing into each other's eyes.

The crowd erupted in applause once again. Liu Qianqian had become a huge fan of Shen Fang, and Liu Xiaoli was no less so. Liu Xiaoli herself was a dancer and a very famous one. She thought that Shen Fang's waltz performance was comparable to that of a professional dancer.

Shen Fang looked at Jiang Yiyan and smiled, "Anything else?!"

Jiang Yiyan... are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?!

Shen Fang coughed lightly and looked at the teachers. His eyes began to sharpen, and micro-expressions started to appear.

"This first bowl of wine, I offer to the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and to our ancestors in heaven."

To the spirit of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. I lost my father at the age of eight and my mother at the age of nine. It was Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang who guided me through countless hardships and dangers.

Only then can we have the prosperous Qing Dynasty we enjoy today! Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, I miss you. At this moment, a look of longing appeared on Shen Fang's face.

And this second bowl of wine, I offer to my ministers, to all the people of the land, and to everyone who has come today.

My old comrades attending this banquet! For sixty years, you have assisted me, protected the country, and devoted yourselves to farming and sericulture.

This led to the prosperity of all industries in the Qing Dynasty. The emperor, his ministers, and the people—all three were of one mind! Ah! Without you, remember...

Without that, there would be no Qing Dynasty today. Thank you all. A look of gratitude appeared on Shen Fang's face.

This third bowl of wine, I offer to my mortal enemies. Ao Bai, Wu Sangui, hey! Zheng Jing, Galdan, oh, and that Zhu San Taizi, ah? Hey, they are all heroes and valiant men.

They made me who I am, and they forced me to establish this great achievement. I hate them, but I also respect them.

Alas, what a pity! They are all dead, how desolate Fu is! ... I do not wish them peace in death, but rather that they may be reborn as enemies of Fu again!

In this final scene, Shen Fang's face exudes an aura of domineering power, majesty, and invincibility, yet tinged with a hint of loneliness.

"good!!!"

Wang Hui clapped first, looking at Shen Fang: "Great, great, really great, Shen Fang, you're really good! You brought the character to life, you brought him to life! You're practically Chen Daoming reincarnated!"

Wang Jinsong tugged at Wang Hui's sleeve: "Ahem, Principal, Chen Daoming is still alive. Your choice of words is inappropriate."

Wang Hui glared at Wang Jinsong: "What's wrong? Am I wrong? You exude an aura of dominance, and your micro-expression handling is almost perfect. Not bad, not bad. Chen Fang, you will definitely be a pillar of Chinese film and television actors in the future."

Shen Fang looked at Wang Hui and said, "Um, Principal, I want to be a director. Also, I have some talents I haven't shown yet. I can sing, rap, and play basketball."

Wang Hui's face darkened: ........

Wang Jinsong:.........

Xu Yan: ...........

Wang Jinsong waved his hand: "Get out of here and stand in the back. You want to be a director? Dream on. We at Beijing Film Academy can't let our pearls sink. Go back to being an honest actor. And your singing, dancing, rapping, and basketball skills don't sound like proper talents at all."

Shen Fang had prepared so many programs in desperation, just to put up a fight, but all she got in return was Wang Hui's insults: "You're heartless, you're indifferent, you're being unreasonable."

Liu Qianqian ran to Shen Fang's side and looked at him with admiration: "Wow, Brother Shen Fang, you are so amazing! I admire you so much! Wow, Brother Shen Fang, you are so awesome!"

Shen Fang patted the little girl's head and said smugly, "It's nothing, I only used 50% of my power this time."

Liu Xiaoli also came up and praised, "Chen Fang, you are so amazing! Remember to teach our Qianqian more in the future, especially in terms of acting. My goodness, how can you be so good at acting at such a young age? You are so amazing. I was stunned just now."

Shen Fang smiled and said, "This is something I was born with. I will teach Qianqian more in the future, so don't worry, Auntie."

Shen Fang left, and Jiang Yiyan was left speechless. Looking at the teacher on the stage and then at the mocking expressions of her classmates, she felt ashamed and indignant. She wanted to run away, but she was unwilling to give up. This was the result of her three years of hard work, and she burst into tears.
