Time Space: the Male Villain Has the Ability To Read Minds Chapter 87: Encouragement to Study

Pei Tianyu was a little embarrassed, rubbing his hands with a flushed face.

Pei Zihao raised an eyebrow and continued to boast, “You don’t know how that director uncle praised Tianyu, saying that he is good-looking, has a good image, and acts naturally. He is a natural actor. He also said it would be a pity if Tianyu didn’t become a star in the future!”

Pei Tiantian’s mouth twitched when she heard this.

Her second cousin only had one line and four words, and he played a completely ordinary role.

How did that director know that Pei Tianyu was a natural actor?

This was a bit exaggerated.

Pei Tiantian didn’t really believe such nonsense, but Wan Cuilan was different.

When she heard this, her eyes widened. “Really?”

Wan Cuilan had never seen a film crew in her life, let alone a director.

She didn’t expect the director to praise Tianyu so much. It seemed that Tianyu was a natural actor.

And objectively speaking, Pei Tianyu had fair skin and handsome features. He was indeed good-looking.

Wan Cuilan wondered if this was why her son Tianyu had always had poor grades.

It seemed he’d taken the wrong path; he should have pursued acting.

Her emotions surged, and she smiled, “If that’s the case, we don’t blame you. Come back and eat; the food’s still warm.”

Her voice was incredibly gentle, completely out of character with Wan Cuilan’s personality.

Not only did Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu find it somewhat disconcerting, even Pei Zhiqiang gave his wife a strange look, wondering what had suddenly struck her.

Pei Zhiwen said in a deep voice, “Tianyu and Zihao skipped school today to buy Tiantian a birthday present, and they earned five hundred yuan through their hard work. While it’s a good thing, skipping school is still a bad thing. Let’s let it go this time. The good and the bad balance out, but don’t do it again.”

Pei Tianyu and Pei Zihao nodded hurriedly, their voices pecking at rice.

Knowing Pei Zhiwen’s words, it seemed the matter was over.

After Pei Tianyu and Pei Zihao finished washing up one after another, they were about to go back to the room to sleep.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the room and before turning on the lights, they were startled by a figure appearing in the darkness.

Pei Zihao turned on the light bulb and took a closer look. It turned out to be Pei Tiantian.

He breathed a sigh of relief, “Sister, you didn’t make a sound. It scared me to death.”

“Big cousin, second cousin, are you happy filming today?”

Pei Tiantian asked them with her little face tilted up.

“Happy. Although I was not selected, filming was fun!” Pei Zihao said.

Pei Tiantian looked at Pei Tianyu, “Second cousin, do you feel the same way?”

Pei Tianyu smiled and nodded, “I like filming too.”

“Then second cousin, do you want to be a star and keep filming?” Pei Tiantian asked.

Pei Tianyu was silent for a moment. He recalled himself on the set today, wearing a beautiful ancient costume and speaking lines in front of the camera.

He had never felt so happy before. This was also the first time that everyone looked at him with admiration.

Instead of questioning and complaining why he always failed the exams, why he was so stupid, and why he was such a bad student.

Pei Tianyu knew that he was stupid and had poor academic performance.

But at the moment of filming, he suddenly felt that he seemed to have good qualities that could be seen by others.

If he could become a star, he could keep filming, everyone would keep looking at him like that, and he could also make so much money.

Pei Tianyu couldn’t help but have such a strong urge in his heart, so he nodded without hesitation.
Pei Tiantian wasn’t surprised. She continued, “Second cousin, would you drop out of school to film?”

Pei Tianyu was stunned, seemingly unprepared for Pei Tiantian’s question.

He instinctively blurted out, “Yes!”

Pei Tiantian’s heart sank.

It seemed that this filming experience had indeed taken a toll on Pei Tianyu.

Suppressing her complex emotions, Pei Tiantian put on an innocent smile. “Second cousin, you’re wrong. Many of those celebrities have formally trained college graduates, and many productions only want actors with formally trained graduates.”

“What’s a formally trained actor?”

Pei Tianyu’s face flickered with confusion.

He assumed that as long as he went to interview with a production company, he’d land a role like this one.

Unexpectedly, Pei Tiantian’s words touched on a new realm he hadn’t yet grasped .

“A formally trained actor is someone who has received formal theatrical education. These days, many people apply to the three major academies, such as the Imperial Capital Film Academy, the Hai City Drama Academy, and the Central Academy of Drama. Take a look, second cousin.”

Pei Tiantian produced a notebook and handed it to Pei Tianyu.

Pei Tianyu opened the notebook and discovered that it listed some of China’s currently popular young actors and stars, along with their educational backgrounds and the schools they attended.

Pei Tianyu looked at the people listed and suddenly realized that the vast majority of them were professionally trained, with only a very few not having such backgrounds.

So did they all go to college?

Pei Tianyu suddenly felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over him, instantly sobering him up.

He couldn’t even get into high school, let alone college.

“Second cousin, you’re only playing a small cameo role right now, so you think acting is easy. But what if one day you want to play the male lead? But you have no education and no connections, so which crew would want you? Pei Tiantian whispered.

Pei Tianyu was shocked by what he heard, and he looked at Pei Tiantian in disbelief.

Tiantian was only five years old, yet she was so insightful and clear-headed.

As a brother, was he really too simple-minded to think that he would become a big star just because he played a small role.

“Second cousin, if you like acting, Tiantian hopes you’ll study hard. The academic scores for the Film Academy are very low. As long as you study hard from now on, you’ll definitely have a chance to get in, and then you can become a real actor.”

Pei Tianyu’s face changed, and he murmured, “Tiantian, I understand what you mean.” A glint of determination flashed in his eyes. “I will study hard. No matter what, I will work hard.”

Pei Tiantian smiled happily, looking at them with sparkling grape eyes. “Okay!”

“Tiantian, if there’s anything I don’t understand in the future, please teach me.”

“Of course!” Pei Tiantian patted her chest.

Pei Zihao suddenly came to his senses.

He had been confused and didn’t understand what these two people were talking about.

Why did Tianyu suddenly say he wanted to study hard?

This was wrong.

“First cousin, Second cousin said he wants to study hard with me from now on. You too, can’t keep playing around like this. Tiantian wants to go to high school with you!”

“Sister, you know me well. There’s no way I can get into high school!”

Pei Zihao said with a worried look on his face.
