Chapter 866: Almighty Assistant

"Let's continue with the topic just now," Xiao Yao and the others laughed for a while, picked up the previous topic, and continued, "Just now we talked about the art that drama and film and television belong to different people, and the next thing I want to say is that there is a difference between stage performance and film and television performance. Can someone tell me the difference between the two?"

"One is facing the audience, the other is facing the camera. A female student raised her hand.

"One can be NG, and the other must be performed to the end at one time, and there is no way to do it again. A male student also raised his hand.

"Well, it seems that everyone is a relatively professional actor. Xiao Yao nodded, "The drama must be completed at one time, it can't be NG, it feels more difficult, but because of this, the actors' expressions are continuous when performing the drama, and it may be more refreshing to act!"

"There is another difficulty in your stage performance this time," Xiao Yao continued, "that is, your rehearsal time is only about one day. Tomorrow night, it's time for your big assessment, and you're going to perform on stage. ”

"What? It's only one day of rehearsals?"

"Tomorrow night, on stage?"

"Is it too late?"

The students shouted in surprise.

"It should be in time!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "When I participated in "Sound Immersion" before, I experienced two stage performances. On both occasions, the rehearsal time for our last round of stage plays was only a few hours, less than a day. There is also the program called "Actor" on Zhedong Satellite TV, and the rehearsal time seems to be only twenty-four hours. ”

"Sound Immersion?"Actors?Do you compare us to you and those teachers?" said one of the students, "Senior, you think too highly of us, right?"

"It's not that I look up to you, it's that the program team looks up to you. Xiao Yao spread his hands and smiled, "Looking at the meaning of the program team, the rehearsal time should also be one of the tests for you." ”

"What else do you have to say, senior, director, let's get lined up?" one of the students suggested.

"Okay!" Xiao Yao pointed to the script in the hands of those people and said, "First question, do you have any questions about the script?

"We can't even read the script, do we?" said one of the students.

"It's not that you can't read it. Xiao Yao said, "I'm asking if there are any problems with the details." For example, is there anyone who doesn't understand what "laid-off" and "Little Red Riding Hood" mean. This is the story of the nineties of the last century, and you may not have been born yet. ”

"Seniors underestimate us, right?" said one student, "If you are laid off, you have no job, and Little Red Riding Hood is the porter who carries bags at the train station." ”

"That's it," chimed the other student, "in the nineties, we weren't born yet, but weren't you also unborn?

"Okay, I was wrong!" Xiao Yao smiled and waved his hand, "The second question, has anyone memorized the script? I don't have to write down all the parts of my performance and the timing of my appearance and exit? I don't want everyone to take the script and move the words there when they are rehearsing!"

"This~" This time the six people hesitated, and no one answered.

"Okay, there's still time, let's read the script first, try to memorize your own parts, and then start rehearsing after dinner. Xiao Yao smiled, "According to my estimates, the total duration of this stage play is more than 20 minutes, and the longest performance time for each role is more than 10 minutes, and the rehearsal time should be enough!"

"Let's read the script, so what are you doing?" one student asked.

"I'm going to inform the staff to move the props for you. Xiao Yao smiled, "The wardrobe pot can be performed without physical objects, but there is also a plot where the characters sit on the chairs, you can't always squat and walk when you rehearse, right?"

The script that Xiao Yao wrote for this group of people basically came from the stage play "Please Answer 1988" in "I Am an Actor" in his previous life. Xiao Yao not only made some deletions to this script because of the number of characters, but also changed the name.

The stage play in the variety show in the previous life used some plots from the Korean TV series "Please Answer 1988" and the Chinese TV series "Hey, Old Man" in the previous life, so it was called "Please Answer 1988". There is no Korean TV series in this world, and it is a bit strange to call it that way. Since the plot is all about the lives of small people in the market, Xiao Yao took a more life-like name, called "Minhe Hutong".

The content of this stage play is to tell the daily life of three ordinary residents in the 90s of the last century, so many daily life props will be used. The props for the stage performances are made in advance, but they are not suitable for moving to the rehearsal room, but some can be replaced by something else. For example, during stage performances, there will be rattan tables and chairs and wooden tables and chairs, which can be replaced by lightweight plastic tables and chairs.

These things were explained to the program team when Xiao Yao wrote the script, and they were also prepared by the program team in advance, but the students interviewed in this room before, and the program team did not come in advance, and was ready to wait for Xiao Yao to meet with the students.

As the director of this stage play, Xiao Yao is responsible for the rehearsals of the students, so he naturally has the power to command and dispatch. After talking to the director of the filming crew in the room, a staff member soon sent two sets of plastic tables and chairs.

After the staff sent the table and chairs over, Xiao Yao sat comfortably on the chair and took out his mobile phone to look at it.

A female student looked up at Xiao Yao, who was playing with her mobile phone, and suddenly raised her hand and shouted: "Director, I think I have written down all this part of mine, and I want to try it." But Lin Kaijie and Zhou Feng's lines haven't been memorized yet, I don't want to affect them, can you please talk to me about the words?"

"Huh?" Xiao Yao looked up, "I'll help you match the words?"

"Hmm!" The female student got up and walked to Xiao Yao's side, handed over the script in her hand and said, "You don't let us take the script and move the words, you should have no problem taking it yourself, right?" I'll give you my script!"

"No problem, I'll help you match the words!" Xiao Yao put away his mobile phone and stood up, but he didn't answer the script she handed over, and said with a smile, "No script, let's line up by the way!"

"Don't need a script?" the female student was stunned, and the other five also looked up.

"No!" Xiao Yao took the female student's script and put it on the table, walked to the door and said, "Start here, the distance should be about the same!"

"Really?" The five students didn't have the heart to read the script, and looked at Xiao Yao and whispered.

"Wang Jiayi, isn't it the right word?" Xiao Yao said as he looked at the female student.

"Okay!" The female student named Wang Jiayi nodded, and walked towards Xiao Yao at the door in disbelief.

As soon as Wang Jiayi walked to Xiao Yao's side, Xiao Yao stood up and looked at her with a smile.

"Do you need to be reminded, give it to me!" Xiao Yao reminded when he saw that Wang Jiayi didn't speak.

"Oh," Wang Jiayi nodded, and stretched out his hands to Xiao Yao's right hand, "Give it to me!"

Xiao Yao's right hand was behind him, and he stretched out his left hand and said, "Bring the money!"

Wang Jiayi reached into his jacket pocket and slapped it on Xiao Yao's outstretched left hand: "I have earned so much today, not enough to brush my face!"

"Forget it, I'll give it next time, or I'll give it to you!" As he spoke, Xiao Yao stretched out his right hand behind him and handed it over.

"You stuff me in my bag!" Wang Jiayi turned his back.

Xiao Yao walked behind Wang Jiayi with a smile and made a gesture of unzipping the schoolbag and stuffing things inside.

"Wow~ He really remembers!" the five students who watched the play sighed lightly.

"Okay, let's go!" Xiao Yao made another zipper gesture and said to Wang Jiayi.

The two walked a few steps to the center of the room side by side, Wang Jiayi suddenly stopped, looked ahead and said, "Yo, second senior brother, you're back!"

"How is this going to be played?" one of the five students muttered in a low voice, "The play of three people, they are only two people!"

Xiao Yao, who was beside Wang Jiayi, stopped, twisted his body a little uncomfortably, looked at Wang Jiayi in the same direction and said with a smile: "Hello uncle!"

"Hmm!" Xiao Yaoyao imitated the middle-aged man's voice, let out a low "um", and then resumed his original voice and said, "Oh, yes, I forgot to buy steamed buns! I'll go first..."

"I'm going! can you still do this?" all five students showed surprised expressions.

"Stop!" Xiao Yao, who was walking back, suddenly let out a low voice again, and then immediately stopped and looked back. Wang Jiayi also stopped when he heard this.

"Oh, I didn't say you!" Xiao Yao chuckled in a deep voice, then showed a relieved expression, and immediately turned around and walked away quickly.

"That's amazing! It's a great person who can voice nine characters at the same time!" the five students exclaimed in their hearts.

Xiao Yao's expressions and movements have always been the "Zhou Chenxi" in the script, but the three particularly low words in the middle are all the lines of the father of "Lin Qiuyang" played by Wang Jiayi in the play. Watching Xiao Yao play one role while also taking care of the lines of another role, and switching almost seamlessly, the five onlookers were a little breathtaking.

Xiao Yao turned around and walked for less than two steps, and then ran back behind Wang Jiayi quickly, arched his back slightly, stretched out his left hand, and said in a deep voice: "Little leather monkey, add water to me!"

"This is continued, it's amazing!" the five students looked at excitedly, and couldn't help but want to applaud Xiao Yao.

"Hey!" Wang Jiayi bowed his head and bent over, took the non-existent "water cup" from Xiao Yao's left hand with both hands, and ran to the side to perform "pouring water" without physical objects.

From here on, it's basically a two-person rivalry. Xiao Yao no longer needs to play two roles by himself, but the shock he gave to the six students is no less than at the beginning.

Although the two of them are just for words and positions at this time, and they are not even a formal rehearsal, but after Xiao Yao switched to the role of the father of the role played by Wang Jiayi, whether it is his demeanor or speech and actions, he looks like a middle-aged father. If the previous students were shocked by Xiao Yao's voice switching, at this moment they were completely impressed by Xiao Yao's acting skills.

"It can still be used!" Xiao Yao carried a non-existent "schoolbag" in both hands, and walked as he walked.

"I can't use it, you buy me one! You have agreed!" Wang Jiayi pulled Xiao Yao and walked along.

"Oh~" Seeing that this scene came to an end, the five onlookers applauded and shouted loudly.

Xiao Yao waved his hand to the five people, signaling them to be quiet, and then switched to a younger voice and shouted: "Lao Lin, Sister Meilan..."

"Enough is enough!" Wang Jiayi waved his hand and said, "Director, I don't have any lines at the end, the main thing is a group photo, no need to be right, I must remember it, no problem!"

"Don't you need the right words later?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.

"No need!" Wang Jiayi shook his head.

"Okay!" Xiao Yao nodded, "I don't require every word of the line to be exactly the same as the script, just if the meaning is right." It feels okay just now, and there is basically nothing wrong with your lines. I'm in the middle of it, so it's not easy to judge. I'll have to wait until you're rehearsing and I'll be watching before I can make arrangements and adjustments. In terms of performance, this is the first rehearsal, and your attention is mainly on the lines, so I won't evaluate it, so let's continue to work hard!"

"Okay, thank you director!" Wang Jiayi bowed slightly, "I'll think about it carefully, and I will definitely play her well!"

"What about you?" Xiao Yao looked at the other five students next to him, "Who else has memorized all the character lines, do you need to move the words?"

"This~no!" the five students shook their heads in unison.

"We just came to watch you perform!" said a rookie actor named Zhou Feng.

"Director, you acted so well!" another newcomer actress named Zhang Yunlan said, "Everyone says that good rival actors are rare, and if you meet good rival actors, you can inspire each other." It's a pity that you are the director, senior, if you can go on stage and play with us, we will definitely be able to play better!"

"Yes, I think so too!" Wang Jiayi nodded again and again.

Although the performance in terms of performance just now was not good in Xiao Yao's eyes, Wang Jiayi originally just wanted to play the right words and positions, and he didn't plan to put himself into the role to play this role at all. But after meeting a partner like Xiao Yao, she also unconsciously substituted herself into the role. It's just that I wasn't prepared before, and I had to take care that the lines were not wrong, so this kind of substitution was not complete, and I was a little confused, so the performance was unsatisfactory. If it is really a good rehearsal, Wang Jiayi also feels that a good opponent can fully stimulate his potential.

"Why don't you go on stage and act with us?" Lin Kaijie said, "Haven't you always been used to directing and acting by yourself?"

"You don't have to discuss the possibility of me performing on stage," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "I'm just here to be a director this time, and I won't perform on stage with you." Even if the program team listens to you and wants to pull me on the stage, but the script is written by me, and only I can change it, I won't add a role to myself in this script!"

"Forget it, don't partner on stage, it's not bad to play together during rehearsal!" Lin Kaijie raised his hand and said, "Director, my part has also been memorized, you can help me try it!"

"You are playing Lin Jianjun, that is, Wang Jiayi and her father! Wang Jiayi is here, and the lines have been memorized, don't you look for her to find me for the words?" Xiao Yao smiled, "You use me as your all-purpose assistant for rehearsals?"
