It had been more than two months since Teddy had given Min Kyo-eun her homework. Min Kyo-eun had to edit it seven or eight times before she could make a copy of her work and send it to Teddy's studio.

It was Min Kyo-eun's first time making a finished product. She had secretly made it a few times before, but she had given up because it was too messy and unpleasant to listen to.

It was her honor that Teddy was willing to teach her. Whether it was because she wanted to work hard or because of Brother Shengli, she had to hand over her perfect work.

It wasn't the first time Min Kyo-eun had been to Teddy's studio. The previous few times, she had gone with her sisters. This time, she was inevitably a little nervous.

After all, when she went with her sisters, she was busy. There was no need for her to negotiate with Teddy. This time, however, she wasn't going alone. She wanted to hear Teddy's evaluation of her work.

Teddy was a good person in the company. He rarely got angry with the trainees. To be honest, he didn't have many opportunities to interact with the trainees. However, no matter who it was, they all agreed on one thing.

When it came to music, Teddy would turn into the strictest teacher.

Min Kyo-eun stood outside the door and took a few deep breaths before she raised her hand and knocked three times. Teddy's voice came from inside. "Come in."

Min Kyo-eun opened the door and met Teddy's knowing eyes. The corners of her mouth twitched awkwardly.

"Oppa, I'm here to hand in my homework."

Teddy let go of the mouse and reached out to her with his palm facing up. "Give it to me."

Min Kyo-eun walked into the studio and gently placed the USB flash drive in Teddy's hand.

Teddy looked at Min Kyo-eun's nervous expression and found it funny. However, he didn't say anything. He inserted the USB flash drive into the USB port and opened the file. There was only one song inside.

Teddy didn't choose to listen to it right away. Instead, he patted the swivel chair next to him.

"Sit down. Don't be so nervous. Whether it's good or bad, it's your first completed product. You have to treat it well."

Min Kyo-eun nodded in a muffled voice. Then, she sat down straight.

Teddy's original intention was to make Min Kyo-eun relax, but it obviously didn't work, so he didn't dwell on it anymore.

He turned on the music, and the sound system immediately flowed out.

Typical R&B style.

Teddy closed his eyes and continued to listen calmly.

Min Kyo-eun, on the other hand, was extremely nervous. This time, she chose the most common R&B style for insurance.

The most popular music style in the first half of 2016 was electronic music. Originally, she wanted to make this style, but later she found that electronic music was not something a beginner like her could make, so she changed her mind and became an R&B style.

The entire song lasted for about three minutes and twenty-eight seconds. When it ended, Teddy opened his eyes with a slight smile on his face.

"Not bad."

Min Kyo-eun suddenly held her breath.

"But …" Teddy kept tapping the table with his index finger. "It's still not perfect. To be precise, there are still many flaws."

Sigh … Even though she was mentally prepared to be criticized, when Min Kyo-eun heard it, she couldn't help but feel dejected.

"Okay, don't be discouraged."

Teddy made a copy of the song on his computer, then unplugged the USB drive and returned it to Min Kyo-eun. "Being discouraged won't make the song better. Listen to me carefully and see what's wrong with your song. Then, take it back and continue to modify it."

When she heard Teddy's words, Min Kyo-eun immediately pulled herself together and looked at the computer screen.

Teddy circled a certain section with the mouse arrow. "Look here. The connection with the previous section isn't very smooth. It feels particularly abrupt. And this section …"

When Min Kyo-eun came out of Teddy's studio, it was already an hour later. She held the USB drive and secretly made up her mind to modify it better.

She carefully placed the USB drive in her backpack and then went to the acting department of Crooked Chicken to look for an acting coach.

This time, she completely relied on herself to get the role. The good relations she had accumulated at Crooked Chicken in the past came in handy at this time.

Logically speaking, when an idol like Min Kyo-eun debuted, the company usually wouldn't let them act, except for a few exceptions.

She came to the acting coach with a different excuse, so she couldn't let others know that she was here to learn acting.

The acting coach waited until Min Kyo-eun arrived and took her to a practice room that few people came to.

Min Kyo-eun didn't rush to learn how to act today. Instead, she learned body movements first.

On camera, body movements were also a bonus point for acting. As long as it was done well, it would generally improve one's acting skills.

"Today, I'll first tell you that different parts of the body can express emotions. You must practice it well when you go back." She pointed at her own shoulder. "Your shoulder is one of them.

Let me ask you, when you're in pain, what do your shoulders look like? "

Min Kyo-eun recalled the movements of her shoulders when she was in pain in the past. She hesitantly contracted her shoulders. "Is it like this?"

The acting coach nodded and explained the various emotions that could be expressed by the shoulders.

"When you raise your shoulders, it's envy. When you retreat, it's resistance. When you move forward, it's eagerness. When you move your shoulders slightly, it's doubt and helplessness.

When you touch your target with your shoulders, it's an expression of intimacy.

When you move your shoulders up and down, it's sarcasm. When you shrink your shoulders, it's pain. When you lower your shoulders, it's endurance and dejection. "

Min Kyo-eun listened as she practiced. The acting coach nodded in agreement, but couldn't help but frown.

Min Kyo-eun was hardworking and smart enough, but she was used to dancing, so there was always a rhythm in her every move.

This couldn't happen to an actor, because it would affect the performance of the actor. She had to find a way to correct Min Kyo-eun's shortcoming.

She made a pause gesture, and then looked around Min Kyo-eun.

"Kyo-eun, do you know that you have a very obvious shortcoming?"

"What?" Min Kyo-eun was confused.

"Every time you move, there's always a sense of rhythm and rhythm. This is a very fatal shortcoming."

"Really?

I don't feel it myself. "

"Of course you don't feel it, because you're already used to it.

You have to change this shortcoming. The next time you come, I'll check it. "

Min Kyo-eun was in a difficult position. "But, how can I change it?"

The acting coach said, "Look at the full-body mirror. Observe your every move through the mirror, and then force yourself not to have that sense of rhythm that occurs when you're dancing."

Min Kyo-eun nodded. She understood.

"It's not only your shoulders that can express your emotions. Your back, waist, chest, and hands and feet can also express them."

The acting coach pulled a chair over and sat down. "Now, you have to express your sadness one by one."

"… Use those parts that you just mentioned?"

The acting coach nodded calmly.

Ah …

Min Kyo-eun became nervous again. She couldn't express it just by imagining it, so she could only bring the sad emotions into herself.

Her back was no longer still. Instead, it was loose and slumped. Her waist was also slightly tilted to the left. She sucked in her chest, her arms drooped, and her face was full of melancholy.

The acting coach didn't comment immediately. Instead, she frowned and stared at her for a long time.

Was she not doing well?

Min Kyo-eun's hands and feet gradually became stiff. She didn't know what to do.

"Kyo-eun, your acting isn't as good as your singing and dancing."

The acting coach sighed softly and said, "You have to put in more effort. Just talking and a short period of guidance won't improve your acting skills."

Min Kyo-eun was hit by these words.

"However," the acting coach changed the topic, "your acting isn't bad. It's just that it's unfamiliar and stiff."

"Teacher, are you praising or criticizing me?" Min Kyo-eun's face was bitter. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The acting coach laughed. "Of course it's a compliment. I've guided so many people in acting. At least you're below average. You're not the worst.

This is already a compliment. After all, not everyone is an acting genius who can act well on their first try. "

In the end, the acting coach decided to demonstrate to Min Kyo-eun how to express her emotions.

Min Kyo-eun learned very seriously and watched with great interest.

However, the acting coach didn't have much time. After she finished the demonstration, she asked Min Kyo-eun to go back and practice on her own.

Min Kyo-eun thought as she walked out of the studio. She was used to everything going smoothly. After hearing other people praise her, she couldn't take it when she was denied.
