Having weathered countless storms in the entertainment industry and already standing at the pinnacle of the field, Ling Yichen and Jun Moran are not content with their glorious achievements. With a deep love for performing arts and a strong sense of responsibility, they resolutely decided to dedicate themselves to film and television education, passing on their valuable experience and exquisite skills accumulated over the years in the performing arts, and cultivating more shining new stars for the film and television industry.
Ling Yichen and Jun Moran carefully selected a reputable film school with a strong faculty and advanced teaching philosophy, embarking on their teaching journey. The moment they stepped onto the campus, it was as if they infused this vibrant and artistic place with new energy. The campus was shaded by lush trees, sunlight filtering through the leaves to create dappled golden light, like dreamlike stage lighting. Young students, brimming with passion for acting, moved through every corner of the campus, their eyes sparkling with curiosity and anticipation, like twinkling stars illuminating the entire space.
The news of their first lectures sent shockwaves through the campus like a pebble thrown into a calm lake. Students were thrilled to hear that two legendary figures would be teaching, arriving at the classroom early. The classroom was packed, with even the aisles and back overflowing with people eager to hear their teachings up close.
Ling Yichen stepped onto the stage first. He stood tall and straight, exuding a refined air, his eyes revealing a calm and wise composure born of experience. He cleared his throat slightly, his voice gentle yet magnetic, and slowly began, “Acting is an art that explores humanity and reveals the soul. It is not simply imitation and pretense, but rather a deep dive into the inner world of the character, giving them vibrant life.” He then shared his early experiences in the entertainment industry, recounting his days as an extra in small productions, how he persevered in his love for acting despite the hardships, and how he drew inspiration from every small role to continuously hone his skills. His vivid narration seemed to transport the students to that time filled with challenges and opportunities, allowing them to deeply appreciate the sweat and perseverance behind success.
Jun Mo Ran, focusing on performance techniques, exuded a unique artistic charm with his bright eyes and elegant demeanor. He walked to the center of the classroom and personally demonstrated some basic acting movements and expressions, subtly showcasing how to convey a character's complex emotions through subtle body language and facial expressions. "In acting, details determine success or failure. A glance, a subtle movement, can become a breakthrough point for a character's emotions, allowing the audience to feel the character's authenticity and charm," Jun Mo Ran patiently explained as he demonstrated. The students watched intently, afraid to miss a single brilliant moment, their pens constantly jotting down key points.
During the course, Ling Yichen and Jun Moran placed special emphasis on practical exercises. They selected some classic script excerpts and had the students perform them in groups. The students were enthusiastic and actively participated. One group, while performing a love scene, was full of passion, but their emotional expression was slightly immature and stiff. Ling Yichen and Jun Moran carefully observed their performance, and after it was over, they offered sincere and professional feedback with smiles.
Ling Yichen pointed out, "Love scenes are not just about simple sweet words and hugs; more importantly, they need to showcase the deep emotional connection and inner struggles between the characters. In your performances, you need to more subtly understand the characters' psychology so that the audience can truly feel their love and conflicts." Jun Mo Ran offered guidance on acting techniques: "When expressing emotions, pay attention to the rhythm; don't be too hasty. Give the audience time to feel and understand. At the same time, your body language should be more natural and fluid, echoing the emotional expression." The students humbly accepted their advice, and after repeated practice, their performances showed significant improvement. Their emotions were more genuine, and their performances were more natural and fluid, earning enthusiastic applause from their classmates.
As the course progressed, Ling Yichen and Jun Moran began guiding the students through more challenging improvisational performance training. They set up various scenes and scenarios, requiring students to quickly immerse themselves in their roles and deliver authentic and vivid performances. This segment tested the students' adaptability and honed their understanding and ability to portray characters.
In an improvisational performance, the scene was set in an ancient, mysterious castle. Students played adventurers trapped inside, facing various dangers and challenges. One student demonstrated outstanding imagination and adaptability, vividly portraying the adventurer's tension, fear, and desire to explore the unknown through lively language and expressive body language. Ling Yichen and Jun Moran highly praised his performance. Ling Yichen commended, "Your performance was excellent. You were able to quickly grasp the core emotions of the character and vividly express them in your own way, which is a very rare talent. Keep it up, and you will definitely achieve excellent results in your acting career." Jun Moran also nodded in approval, saying, "You demonstrated a strong sense of rhythm and tension in your performance, allowing the audience to be completely immersed in the situation you created. I hope that in your future studies, you will continue to explore your potential and discover more possibilities in acting."
During the interactive class session, students actively asked questions covering various aspects such as acting techniques, character development, and industry trends. Ling Yichen and Jun Moran patiently answered each question, providing not only professional and insightful responses but also encouragement and inspiration.
