Xiao Yao didn't say who his mentor was, and the conversation between him and Yuan Jiang ended.

Although everyone was very curious about Xiao Yao and sat around Xiao Yao's table, none of these rookie actors had ever been in contact with Xiao Yao before, that is, they were not particularly familiar with Xiao Yao. After all, it was the first time they met, and Xiao Yao's current coffee position was a little far from them, and they simply asked some common questions to express their interest in Xiao Yao, and the conversation couldn't be so deep.

Speaking of relationships, of course, the six rookie actors in Xiao Yao's group have the closest relationship with Xiao Yao, but Xiao Yao did not play a poisonous tongue like he did in "Creation 101" the year before last, complaining about his team members' weight and makeup, and those rookie actors had no intention of discussing the script with Xiao Yao during the meal, so Xiao Yao didn't say much at this meal.

If you don't say much, the speed of eating is naturally fast, and Xiao Yao's speed of eating has always been very fast.

"I'm done, you eat slowly!" Xiao Yao took out a tissue from the tissue box on the table, wiped his mouth, said hello to someone, and stood up with the tray.

"I'll go first, gather at eight o'clock in the evening to rehearse, don't forget!" Xiao Yao lowered his head and said to the six newcomer actors in his group.

"I can't forget it!" the six nodded in unison.

"Senior, you still have to rehearse at night, you definitely won't leave now, right?" Zhang Yunlan said again, "Where are you resting?"

"Why don't you go to our dormitory to sit down?" Lin Kaijie also took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, "I've eaten too, I'll take you there!"

"No need," Xiao Yao smiled and waved his hand, "I'm going to go to the studio where you will perform tomorrow to see the stage of the performance, and I also have to look at the props used on the stage tomorrow." You don't have to worry about me, eat slowly, go back to read the script when you're done, and see you in the rehearsal room at eight o'clock!"

Since Xiao Yao participated in this show, he naturally hopes that his group's stage play can be performed well, and the team members have good results in this big assessment.

Generally speaking, most of the rehearsals for dramas take place on the stage where they are performed. However, there are six crews in this stage drama assessment, and there is only one stage, so it is naturally impossible to hand over the studio and stage to a certain crew for rehearsal, so the program team can only arrange each crew to rehearse in their respective rehearsal rooms.

The size and shape of the rehearsal room is different from that of the stage, and the placement of props may also be different. Even if you rehearse well in the rehearsal room, after you get on stage, it will be affected by the change of environment.

According to the arrangement of the program team, each crew will have about half an hour of on-site rehearsal time tomorrow afternoon. These differences and effects between the rehearsal room and the real stage depend on each crew to make adjustments during that half-hour or so of rehearsal time.

Although the program team gave Xiao Yao a lot of freedom and power, he did not plan to use this freedom and power to buy more time for his crew to rehearse on the stage, which would be too unfair to the newcomers and actors of several other crews. However, in other aspects, Xiao Yao can and is willing to do something.

At present, the performance stage is vacant, and Xiao Yao wants to take advantage of this time to inspect the situation of the performance stage. If he could, he also wanted the staff to move the props to the stage and instruct them to put them on the stage first.

If he can have a rough idea of the size and shape of the stage, the placement of props on the stage, and the perspective of the audience, he can try to follow the situation of the real stage when guiding the new actors to perform at night, which will undoubtedly greatly reduce the adjustment range and difficulty during the on-site rehearsal tomorrow, and it seems that the rehearsals tonight and tomorrow morning will be more effective.

Strictly speaking, Xiao Yao's doing this may still be unfair to the newcomer actors of the other five groups, but this does not occupy the time of the other groups to use the stage, and any other director can also do the same, so this kind of unfairness is within the psychological range that Xiao Yao can accept.

"Seniors have worked hard!" said Zhang Yunlan and other six newcomer actors.

"Goodbye, senior!" The other rookie actors also waved goodbye to Xiao Yao.

After sending the dinner plate to the recycling place and leaving the restaurant, Xiao Yao asked his director with the filming crew, and learned that Ke Jun, Jin Wenbo, and Chen Qiuyue had finished today's filming and had already left, so he asked the filming director to tell him his plans and asked him to ask the chief director Meng Yafang for instructions.

Although Meng Yafang said that Xiao Yao should decide his own actions, this at most shows that Xiao Yao can go to the studio to watch the stage by himself. However, Xiao Yao also wants to place props on the stage, which requires the cooperation of the staff of the program team. Not to mention that Xiao Yao didn't even know where those props were stored, but he knew that those props could not be moved to the stage alone. If you want to call the staff of the program team, it is better to talk to the chief director.

The filming director contacted the chief director Meng Yafang and quickly got a reply.

"Teacher Xiao Yao, Director Meng agreed! Let us take you to the studio first, and someone will soon move your group's props over!

"Okay, thank you! Thank you for your hard work!" Xiao Yao smiled and thanked him, and went to the studio under the guidance of the film crew.

This studio is where Ke Jun and the other three announced the big assessment topics to the newcomer actors, when Ke Jun and the other three stood on the stage, and the place where the newcomer actors sat was the audience. In the previous show, the first assessment and the second class assessment of the rookie actors were also announced here and performed on this stage. The first stage of the big assessment is the film and television drama performance, although it is not performed on this stage, but the audience and new actors are also here to watch everyone's film and television works through the live big screen.

This studio has appeared many times in the show, and Xiao Yao is no stranger to the layout and stage shape here, but the feeling of seeing it on the screen is still different from that on the ground. Xiao Yao has never been here on the spot, at least he doesn't have a more specific and intuitive feeling of the size of the stage.

Since he had to wait for the staff to transport props, Xiao Yao went on the stage and walked around. Although he didn't take a ruler to measure, after walking around like this, Xiao Yao already had a more intuitive feeling of the size of this stage, and even estimated an approximate length and width data in his heart.

After slowly circling around the stage, the staff of the program team successively sent the props he needed for this group of stage plays. This script was written by Xiao Yao himself, and the props were also made according to Xiao Yao's requirements, so Xiao Yao was also very clear about the use of these props. After the props were delivered, Xiao Yao commanded the staff to set them up on the stage.

Tables and chairs, rattan trellises, simple walls with doors, sofas, cabinets, door curtains, and all kinds of props were quickly installed and placed in the same way.

After all the props were arranged, Xiao Yao first walked through the action routes of each character according to the plot, made some adjustments, and then ran to the audience to take a look, felt the audience's perspective and imagined the places that the audience might pay attention to and ignore during the viewing process, and then ran onto the stage again to make some adjustments.

After determining the location of all the props, Xiao Yao walked on the stage a few more times, and finally ran to the audience to look at it for a while before finally nodding with satisfaction.

After all this, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening. Xiao Yao looked at the time, said hard work to the staff again, and went to the rehearsal room of his group.

According to the arrangement of the program team, Xiao Yao's crew is not the first to come to the rehearsal tomorrow, but it is not ruled out that the program team may make temporary adjustments in order to save trouble, so Xiao Yao doesn't care if these props are dismantled and put back and the stage is emptied again.

When Xiao Yao entered the rehearsal room, he found that all six people had arrived. What made him even more satisfied was that when he came in, the six people were talking to each other, and no one had the script in their hands, and all six scripts were thrown on the ground to the side.

"Hello director!" Seeing Xiao Yao come in, the six of them stopped and said hello in unison.

"Hello!" Xiao Yao smiled, "It's already the right words?"

"That's a must!" Lin Kaijie smiled.

"Okay, then let's start rehearsing!" Xiao Yao said, "But before we start, let's make some adjustments, and then I have some small suggestions for you!"

"What?" said all six curiously.

"First of all, we adjusted the direction of the rehearsal. We used to use the short side of the rehearsal room, but now we use the long side, and I'll stand on this wall with the door and watch. Xiao Yao pointed to the two sets of simple tables and chairs in the rehearsal room and said, "Please move the tables and chairs for a few boys!"

"Eh!" the boys agreed, rolled up their sleeves and went to move the tables and chairs.

"Because our performance stage is relatively wide?" Wang Jiayi asked Xiao Yao, "This is what the director gained from going to the studio to watch the stage just now?"

"Sort of," Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, "I used to mainly talk to you, and the meaning was fine, so I didn't bother to move." Now that we have to line up, of course, it's better to be closer to the real stage. But even if you don't go to the show, you can tell from the previous shows that your performance stage is relatively wide. ”

"Then director, what did you gain from going to the studio to watch the stage?" asked another rookie actress, Zhang Yunlan.

"The harvest is," Xiao Yao paused, turned his head and said to the two boys who were moving the table, "Lin Kaijie, Zhou Feng, the interval between the two tables is about ten steps, just a normal step, don't take big strides, slightly stagger the front and back, don't put it in a line." ”

"Yunlan, the lady Zhao Meilan you played rushed into the house from the courtyard, and she could probably only run so far, and there was a slight fold line after entering the door!" Xiao Yao looked at Zhang Yunlan again.

"Huh?" Several people stopped and stared at Xiao Yao.

"Director, these are not in the script!" Zhang Yunlan said.

"Of course not," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "When I write the script, I will only write that so-and-so ran into the house in a hurry from the yard, who will run about ten steps in the back and the middle, and there is a slight fold line after entering the door? I just went to the studio and put all the props on the stage, determined the location of those props, and then walked a few times by myself, this is what I just tried on the stage of the studio!"

"You put all the props on the stage, and then tried them all?" Zhang Yunlan pointed to the plastic table in Zhou Feng and Lin Kaijie's hands, "So director, you want to replicate the props on the stage in the rehearsal room, so that we can rehearse exactly according to the situation on the stage?"

"Not exactly!" Xiao Yao shook his head, "The length of our rehearsal room is still not as wide as the stage in the studio, so it is impossible to replicate it completely." For example, how many steps and how long you have to run from the yard into the house, then how long your expression will last in the process, how long will the expression change in the middle, and what speed should you speak at the appropriate pace. Lest there be too much change during the rehearsal in the future, and you won't be able to adjust it all at once. ”

"What about the rest of us?" asked Lin Kaijie.

"You play Lin Jianjun, the man has big steps, and the distance from going out to this chair in the yard is about five steps. Lin Qiuyang, played by Wang Jiayi, went to the back to pour water props and came back to the table, about three steps. Zhou Feng, Zhou Chenxi, you play, has the largest range of activities, first on the edge of the front of the stage, three steps vertically and four steps horizontally from the chairs in the courtyard in the middle of the stage, and then from the courtyard to the house, Zhang Yunlan has to run about ten steps, you can calculate the difference between you and Zhang Yunlan's stride..."Xiao Yao looked at the six people, one by one.

"In just a moment, you've written it all down?" exclaimed the six.

"Then have you all written it down?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.

"Huh?" the six were dumbfounded.

"It's okay, it's okay if you don't remember it for the time being, you can ask me at any time if you don't remember. Xiao Yao smiled, "These things, you probably have a feeling in your heart." Telling you that this is just to reduce the magnitude and difficulty of your future rehearsals, which is a minutiae. This is a rehearsal of a stage play, not a soldier's step, the most important thing is to perform. I hope you don't let these steps affect your performance or anything, that's to give up the basics!"

"Yes, got it, director!" said the six in unison.

"Okay, then let's start rehearsing officially!" Xiao Yao retreated to the wall and stood against the wall, "At the beginning, Zhou Chenxi and Lin Qiuyang played by Zhou Feng and Wang Jiayi, and the other people who appeared halfway through the game found a suitable position for their own appearance." ”

"Okay!" each of the six people found a place in the rehearsal room to stand or squat.

"Ready, start!" Xiao Yao stretched out his two hands, slapping up and down as if he was dressed up, and shouted loudly.

"Okay, that's all for today!" At around eleven o'clock in the evening, Xiao Yao announced the end of tonight's rehearsal.

The rehearsal that night lasted only about three hours.

It's not that Xiao Yao is satisfied with the results of the rehearsal. Although it is only a stage play of about 20 minutes, it is still very difficult for these new actors, especially when they only got the script early this morning. Even at the end, the scene rehearsed by these newcomer actors was still out of reach in Xiao Yao's eyes.

The reason why the rehearsal ended was not that Xiao Yao wanted to rest because it was too late, nor that these rookie actors shouted that they were tired and didn't want to rehearse, but after a day of tossing, especially the long-lasting interview in the afternoon, after these rookie actors rehearsed for three hours at night, their physical strength and energy were almost to the limit. Xiao Yao felt that if he forcibly continued to line up, the effect would not be very good. Instead of that, it's better to let them rest early and arrange again tomorrow.

Of course, the three-hour rehearsal was not without its gains. Although these people still have a lot of problems in Xiao Yao's eyes in terms of performance, at least the lines, movements, and positions on the stage have been rehearsed quite well. The remaining problems in pure performance, Xiao Yao felt that a daytime tomorrow should be enough to solve them.
