The Long-awaited Mr Han

Chapter 2312: Really as If She Was on a Roll

“Yes.” Han Leilei nodded. “Pick any person here, and they will be able to recite the lines of any segment of Shakespeare’s plays in a very accurate and emotional manner, so it’s not just about memorizing the script.”

Zhou Li also nodded in admiration. “So, the gap between our capabilities is understandable, actually. Their foundational skills and background are really very solid as they’d accumulated them gradually from the start.”

“Let’s not even talk about Shakespeare. Although his works are an internationally famous classic, they’re still not local pieces, so there’s a difference in the level of cultural acceptance towards them,” Tan Mingxiao said. “But we have our own classics too. Leaving aside the ancient ones and just focusing on the classic play Teahouse, how many of us can actually recite it? I myself don’t even know more than one or two lines.”

Everyone fell silent.

So, this was the difference.

They could not just say that others were being arrogant and looking down on them.

Those students had indeed put in much, much more effort and hard work than they did, and they had the right to be arrogant.

Han Leilei thought of something and said, “The professor probably won’t call Lu Man up on stage, right? After all, Lu Man didn’t come for the previous lessons, so she did not prepare anything at all.”

“Probably not?” Zhang Xiaoying could not say for sure either. “Even if she had to go up on stage, it should start from next lesson onwards.”

Sun Mengying shook her head and said, “It’s hard to say. The professor for this class is a little unforgiving. He won’t care whether you’ve attended classes before or not or how far behind you are. As long as you appeared in this class, then you will have to meet the expectations for it.

“So, for this class, not a single person dares to skip lessons. Unless they really had no choice, or they could apply to take leave.”

“Then what should we do? Lu Man, this is the segment of the play that we have to prepare for.” Han Leilei took out the Shakespeare play from her bag and flipped the book to the page where she’d put a label. “We will be performing this part today. Do you know this part? If not, maybe you can skip the class this time and not go for it first?”

Han Leilei continued, “Otherwise, Howard and those people would surely seize the chance to find trouble with you.”

“Yeah.” Sun Mengying nodded.

“It’s fine.” Lu Man glanced at the segment and said, “I just happen to know this part. I’ll go and take a look. I also quite want to give it a try.”

Actually, things would have been different if she didn’t care more about her family.

When she was chosen as an exchange student, she had just gotten married to Han Zhuoli, but she quite looked forward to coming here.

She could learn some things and definitely would reap different rewards.

It’s true that many seniors before her had said that she was born for this industry and had talent.

But she could not rely on her talent for the rest of her life. There would come a time when she would exhaust her talent.

She was also not so conceited to think that she no longer needed to continue learning. This might be something that no one would dare to say.

And Lu Man indeed really wanted to be exposed to different ways of acting, as well as to a different culture.

This was such an opportunity, so she naturally would not want to miss out on it.

Han Leilei heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s good that you know it. Let’s go over and see first. It’s best if you don’t need to go up on stage for this lesson, lest something happens and you won’t be able to go up on stage anymore in the future.”

Lu Man nodded.

But she really did not mind.

It was a coincidence, come to think of it. She wondered if she was really on a roll in this lifetime.

She did not memorize a lot of Shakespeare’s plays. When she practiced previously, she had used some scenes from classic plays to train and hone her acting skills.

It just so happened that she knew this part.

If it had been some other part, she might really have been thrown off balance.

But this part, she had memorized very well.

Even if she was really asked to go up on stage, she still would not mind.
