This score was not bad for her, but in front of this professor from Newport University, it was not worth looking at.
Newport University was even more difficult than the most famous universities in Beijing. This was because not only did they have to look at the results, but they also had to apply. After applying, there was also a round of interview screening.
Before Lu Zhen came to visit Professor Xu, she specially learned about the situation at Newport University. It wasn’t that she was bold enough to want to enter this school. It was out of respect for Professor Xu, she wanted to understand her in advance.
With this understanding, Lu Zhen was shocked to discover that almost all the students who could go to Newport University every year were the top students in their provinces.
She had also seen a few news articles. “The top scorer of a certain province applied for Newport University but was not accepted. Regrettably, she chose Beijing University and Hua Cheng University.”
It turned out that Newport University was actually more difficult than Beijing University! At that time, she sighed with emotion, but she quickly flipped over the news and did not take it to heart at all. What did this have to do with her?
But now, when Professor Xu heard that she wanted to go to the Chinese department, she actually listed Newport University as one of her options. Wasn’t Professor Xu thinking too highly of her? Just because she acted well didn’t mean that she was a genius in exams.
Although Lu Zhen did not say what she was thinking directly, Professor Xu seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. She said calmly, “If I can’t give you a chance to get into the best school, there’s no need for you to visit me today. There are many good teachers in Beijing. Why did your manager ask you to come to Newport to look for me?”
Lu Zhen was stunned and hurriedly said, “Professor Xu, I don’t mean to question your ability.”
Professor Xu smiled. “Don’t be nervous. I know you might find this difficult. More importantly, you’re very busy with work. You might not have that much time to spend studying.”
Lu Zhen nodded vigorously. Indeed, it was already very difficult for her to take a few hours off every day to study. If she was busier, she wouldn’t even have enough time to sleep. How could she guarantee that she would have so much time and energy to study?
Professor Xu thought for a moment and said, “In my opinion, the difficulty of acting is not on the same level as just getting into a good school. If you can act well, it means that you’re very smart. What you need to know now is the method of learning, the technique of the exam, and how to be efficient.
“All that’s left is to do it. I trust your execution. As for time, it’s like water in a sponge. Squeeze a little. There’s always time.”
After Lu Zhen thought about it, she had to admit that Professor Xu was right. She hesitated for a moment and asked, “Then what should I do next?”
Professor Xu refilled Lu Zhen’s cup of tea and continued, “It’s all about comprehension. I believe you can understand what I’m saying.”
Lu Zhen thought for a moment and nodded. Comprehension was related to talent. However, in Lu Zhen’s opinion, comprehension included talent, but it had a wider definition. Most importantly, comprehension was something that could be trained.
In terms of acting, many people praised Lu Zhen for being a talented actress. Lu Zhen felt that she was a little talented, but it was not that exaggerated. She still remembered that there was a little girl who left a deep impression on her in the orphanage. That little girl was especially good at imitating. She would always imitate the fierce dean and the bad-tempered cook in front of them. Every time, she would make everyone laugh.
In Lu Zhen’s opinion, that little girl had a natural talent for acting. Her observation skills were so sharp, and her ability to reproduce details was so accurate. If she was nurtured well, she would be a natural actress.
When Lu Zhen first entered the industry, she did not understand what acting was about at all. Her acting of crying and laughing was extremely stiff. She had never felt that she was very talented. At most, she was more accepting.
However, Lu Zhen would not deny that her comprehension of acting was almost incomparable to others.
There were many nodes in her comprehension. In her previous life, she had acted in a few very important scenes. After acting, she felt that she had gradually grasped the essence of acting.
Later on, she read some professional books on acting and learned a lot. Her theoretical knowledge became richer, which allowed her to find the problems exposed during the acting process faster and find effective solutions.
