Time flies, and before he knew it, Lu Yu was a sophomore in college. That year, he had a rare opportunity. His acting teacher, seeing how hard he studied and how much his acting skills had improved, recommended him to audition for a film crew.
Upon hearing the news, Lu Yu was thrilled, but also felt a bit of pressure. He knew this was a great opportunity to prove himself and couldn't afford to miss it. So, he began to prepare for the interview seriously. He carefully studied the script he received, which only contained simple scenes and lines, repeatedly analyzed the character's personality traits and emotional changes, and constantly rehearsed, striving to show his best side in the interview.
On the day of the audition, Lu Yu arrived at the film crew early. Dressed neatly, he confidently walked into the audition room. Facing the judges' sharp gazes, he showed no nervousness or timidity, but calmly began his performance. He portrayed the character's emotions perfectly, sometimes sad, sometimes joyful, sometimes angry, as if he were the character himself. The judges were deeply moved by his performance and showed their approval.
Ultimately, Lu Yu lived up to his teacher's expectations, successfully landing the role of the second male lead thanks to his diligent and thoughtful approach. This news caused a sensation in the class. He became the first student in the class to have a role, and his classmates looked at him with envy and admiration. Lu Yu knew this was a hard-won opportunity, and he secretly resolved to seize it and go further in his acting career.
Lu Yu never imagined that his first television drama would give him the opportunity to act alongside a group of veteran actors. The moment he heard the news, his heart was ignited with excitement, a burning flame that lingered for a long time. These veteran actors had spent years in the industry, each a highly skilled and experienced master, their names instantly recognizable. To be able to act alongside them was like a dream come true for the fledgling Lu Yu.
On set, whenever he didn't have scenes to film, Lu Yu was like a tireless little bee, script clutched tightly in his hand, constantly wandering around the set. His eyes were always fixed on the veteran actors, not missing a single subtle expression, movement, or tone of voice. He observed carefully, constantly studying their acting skills, thinking about how he would portray them if he were in that situation. Every glance, every twitch of the lips, every intonation of a line—he wanted to learn it all, to incorporate it into his own performance.
Sometimes, when watching veteran actors deliver a brilliant performance, Lu Yu couldn't help but stop and watch intently, as if everything around him ceased to exist. His mind raced, analyzing their acting techniques and imagining himself acting alongside them. When he encountered something he didn't understand, he wasn't shy at all; he always mustered the courage to humbly ask the veteran actors for guidance. His questions came one after another, like a machine gun, ranging from the control of emotions in a performance to the handling of lines, from the use of body language to the inner development of a character. He asked detailed questions, like a child eager for knowledge.
The veteran actors in the crew noticed this young man from the start—always carrying a script, his eyes brimming with curiosity and a thirst for knowledge. As time went on, they grew to like Lu Yu more and more for his thoughtful and inquisitive nature. Lu Yu's passion and dedication to acting were like a ray of light, illuminating the entire set. The veteran actors were all infected by his enthusiasm, and their attitude towards him became increasingly warm and friendly. They not only patiently answered every question Lu Yu had, but also proactively shared the experience and insights they had accumulated over the years in their acting careers.
One day, a veteran actor patted Lu Yu on the shoulder, smiled, and said, "Young man, you're so dedicated to acting; you're sure to achieve great things. Come on, let's exchange contact information. You can ask me anytime if you have any questions." He then took out his phone and exchanged phone numbers with Lu Yu. Seeing this, other veteran actors followed suit, and soon Lu Yu had several veteran actors' contact information saved in his phone.
Looking at the 11-digit phone numbers on his phone, Lu Yu understood that these numbers were more than just simple codes; they represented his valuable network of contacts in the entertainment industry. The experience and guidance of these veteran actors were like keys, unlocking unknown doors on his acting path. With these connections, he would have many more people to rely on and learn from in the industry, making his future path much smoother.
In this film crew, Lu Yu was like a sponge, greedily absorbing every bit of knowledge and experience. He immersed himself in learning for a full four months, a period that felt like a rigorous yet fulfilling spiritual journey. When he finished filming and returned to school, his teachers and classmates were amazed to find that he was like a completely different person.
In class, the teacher clearly felt that Lu Yu's acting skills had made a qualitative leap. His delivery of lines had become more profound; every word seemed to flow from the depths of his heart, full of emotion and power. He was able to accurately grasp the character's personality traits, vividly portraying the character's joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness through the pitch, volume, and tempo of his voice. His expressions had also become richer and more natural; a single glance or a smile could convey complex emotions.
Especially during his posture and etiquette classes, Lu Yu's serious attitude was truly touching. He stood in front of the mirror, correcting his posture again and again, scrutinizing every detail from standing and sitting to walking. He diligently studied various etiquette norms, striving to be elegant and appropriate in his words and actions. He knew that as an actor, good posture and etiquette were essential qualities that could enhance his performance and make him more confident and composed on stage.
Lu Yu's hard work and progress have not only earned him the recognition and praise of his teachers, but also made his classmates look at him with new respect. Like a rising star, he shines ever brighter on his acting journey. All of this is inseparable from his valuable experience learning from veteran actors on set. He knows that the road ahead is long and many more challenges await him, but he is fully prepared, carrying the knowledge and experience he gained on set, and bravely moving towards his dream.
In his words, these are all things passed down from our ancestors. Things from 5000 years ago cannot be passed down to their generation. To advocate freedom would mean the end of this tradition.
Working in the entertainment industry means there's never a constant stream of acting opportunities. When work breaks come, Lu Yuan, like a weary bird returning to its nest, obediently returns to his warm home, transforming back into a well-behaved and obedient child in front of his parents. Everything at home is still familiar—the familiar furniture arrangement, the familiar aroma of food, the familiar caring eyes of his parents—instantly calming his heart that has been wandering far from home.
