Chapter Twenty-Six: Alternative No. 2, please start your performance
Of course, Xiang Yang has never sat in a Mandarin car, so naturally he doesn't know the driver, and he is more natural and very ...... The truth is unknown.
"What the hell is going on?"
"You'll know when you get there. ”
Well, the driver was right, and sure enough, he knew it when he got there.
The Pioneer Theater was crowded in the afternoon.
"Suspicion" Chinese mainland first edition.
Introducing the Pulitzer Prize's excellent screenplay in the United States!
And so the posters have been put up, at least here in the Pioneer Theater, it has already created the atmosphere of a big drama.
waited for Xiang Yang to walk into the theater, and then he was pulled backstage.
And after that......
"Makeup. ”
"Where's the costume?"
"Can he do it with his size?"
"Almost, it should work. ”
Click, several people are about to fiddle with Xiangyang.
"Wait a minute!What the hell is going on!?" Xiang Yang was inexplicably frightened, and made his hands to protect his chest, as determined as guarding chastity.
At this time, director Wang Xi, as well as Li Yeping, as well as Wan Xiaoye, and Liu Dan, who played Mrs. Muller, all came over.
"What are you doing!?" None of the others spoke, so Mr. Li Yeping asked directly.
Like Sister Alosius.
Xiang Yang looked confused, "Teacher Li, what's going on?"
This time, Teacher Wang Xi spoke, "Comrade Xiangyang, hurry up and put on your makeup." ”
"Why? What about Mr. Liu?" Xiang Yang was still confused.
Wan Xiaoye accosted, "Teacher Liu Xiaofeng, you can't come." ”
"Huh?" When Xiang Yang heard this, he immediately asked, "Is there an accident?"
"Severe diarrhea, sent to the hospital!" Mr. Li Yeping's voice was still very powerful.
But!
Xiang Yang said with an inexplicable sense of innocence: "What does this have to do with me?"
Teacher Li Yeping gave him a fierce look, "It has nothing to do with you, you are Father Flynn's alternative!"
These words ...
"Huh?!" The expression on Xiang Yang's face, he could imagine how strange it was.
Xiang Yang could swear to anyone that he had never heard of it.
"To be exact, you are the alternate No. 2!" Mr. Li Yeping didn't give him a chance to breathe at all, "Otherwise, why do you think you can keep watching our rehearsals?"
Hearing this, Xiang Yang suddenly realized.
This old lady gave herself this opportunity, which should be on the grounds of 'alternative', that is to say, he Xiangyang was able to go in and out of the Pioneer Theater to watch their rehearsal performances because of this identity.
However, it is strange that the old lady has never told herself about it.
However, Xiang Yang also guessed roughly, and he thought of why Teacher Li Yeping wanted to give him a quiz, which might be to keep a hand to prepare.
But in fact, Alternative No. 2 does not exist in the first place.
Such a big drama, a unit like Mandarin, of course, will have reserved alternatives, but there is no need to have a 'No. 2'.
At the beginning, Mr. Li mentioned it like this, and the director Mr. Wang Xi nodded, he didn't take it seriously at all, he just felt that this Xiang Yang Bacheng was a relative of Mr. Li, come to learn it, feel it, and this alternative identity is to hang a name, which means meaning.
However, today's premiere, or simply a report performance, has already been attended by many leaders of the cultural sector and many media reporters.
Teacher Liu and the backup actors can't come, do you want to open the skylight?
This is Mandarin, and this play is an imported Broadway play, a Pulitzer Prize script, how can it be a problem?
In that case, let's let this Alternative No. 2 exist for a while.
can only make the alternative of Xiangyang a positive choice.
But Xiang Yang is not stupid, he also heard it, and his alternative No. 2 was pulled to save the scene, which shows that not only Mr. Liu but also the alternative No. 1 has a problem.
Combined with the text message sent by Li Yang before, could it be said...
Teacher Li Yeping doesn't care about that much, "Give him makeup and change clothes!"
Xiang Yang hurriedly waved his hand, "Wait a minute, that ......"
Teacher Li shouted, "Xiangyang, are you afraid?"
Xiang Yang was unambiguous, "I'm not afraid! But, please let me think about it." ”
Since he has already said it before, he must dare to show his sword, and besides, this incident was not caused by him, what is he afraid of?
However, he needs to get into character.
"How long do you have to go!" how did Mr. Li Yeping not know what was going on?
"Give me a few minutes. To tell the truth, Xiang Yang's words are a bit false, he doesn't know how long it will take him to enter the role.
But at the moment, there is no choice but to force in...... Well, that's what ...
He couldn't help but look at Master Wan, and the master at this time also looked at him with a worried face.
Quickly retracting his gaze, Xiang Yang simply closed his eyes.
For the role of Father Flynn, the lines should be OK, and I am still very familiar with the practice of playing against the master.
It's just playing against Mr. Li...... Don't think about this yet.
What are the characteristics of this character?
The image of Father Flynn gradually appeared in Xiang Yang's mind, this priest is actually favored by many people, and even he likes basketball, he is also very close to the times and linked to the trend.
Also, the key is the black kid named Mueller.
There is a key background to this "Suspicion", that is, in the year after Kennedy's assassination, when blacks were still suffering a lot of discrimination, this Mueller was the first black child in this church school.
Father Flynn took good care of the child, but it was because she saw this that Sister Alosis suspected that he was doing something inside.
So Father Flynn......
"Okay!" Xiang Yang opened his eyes, and then said to Teacher Li Yeping and Teacher Makeup: "I'm not Teacher Liu Xiaofeng, so I'm afraid my style is different." Makeup teacher, please make me a white man, yes, that's it, you can paint me white. ”
Painted with white paint, these three words made Wan Xiaoye want to laugh a little, but she immediately held back.
After Teacher Li Yeping listened, she immediately thought of the beginning of the book "Self-cultivation of Actors".
That's right, Xiang Yang probably also wants to follow Si's example, but the performance master has turned himself into a black man.
Well, Xiang Yang's face is still a little dark, so he made the right choice.
Teacher Li affirmed Xiangyang's choice in his heart.
For this kind of state, of course, the makeup teacher has no problem.
Soon, a sunny man wearing a golden hood, with a pale face, even a white neck, and a little golden eyebrows appeared.
However, to use this means to help enter the role, is Xiang Yang really 'hard progress'?
……
Zhang Lixian, nicknamed the sixth child, is still very well-connected in the circle in the capital.
On weekdays, he likes football and often writes about football, but in fact he is a media person, and he can also talk about publishers.
On this day, I was invited to watch the premiere of this "Doubt".
The drama imported from the United States is very new, and besides, this is a new play, so it's a pity not to see it.
There are also a lot of media people sitting next to him, and there are still many leaders in the front row.
But it didn't take long for me to hear a message.
The original male lead doesn't seem to have become.
So, how about the one that came on?
Soon, music with a strong religious flavor sounded.
The curtain opened on the stage, and as soon as you looked at the set, you knew that it was a church.
A priest in a green sermon robe appeared, with dazzling blond hair and white skin.
Zhang Laoliu couldn't help but complain in his heart, seeing that this was played by us Chinese.
But then.
Are you seeking God's will?
Yes, you will not be able to find it.
When President Kennedy was assassinated last year, who among us did not experience that utter confusion and despair!
Now what?
Where is the road?
How should we say ...... children?"
The voice may not be so calm, but it is also loud.
Zhang Laoliu listened...... Not bad.
Xiang Yang on the stage, in fact, he didn't fully enter the role, and he was even nervous at first, and the words were wrong.
But this nervousness also helped him, and it was impossible for Father Flynn, a young godfather, to make no mistakes when he was preaching.
Nervous, make mistakes, nothing, face it!
Follow this path.
"No matter how confused and desperate we are, we have to face it.
Choose to face it, and God will bless us as if He would forgive everyone's sins. ”
The more Xiang Yang spoke, the better, as if this place had really become his own church, and he was guiding the believers.
Director Wang Xi backstage, Mr. Li, and Master Wan were all surprised, although the word was a little different, it sounded very good, and they were all conveying an upward spirit.
Little did they know, of course, that this sermon was about a certain winter swimmer.
When Father Flynn's sermon ended, it was time for Sister James to play with Sister Alosius.
Master Wan and Teacher Li Yeping, they talked about William London and talked about ballpoint pens.
Sister Alosis hated ballpoint pens very much, and she said that this kind of thing has made America lose calligraphy.
She may not be wrong.
But, as if everything new, she hated.
Sister James is different.
"Can you believe it, dear? Father Flynn's specialty is basketball, haha......"
"Basketball? Is that a good thing?"
"Sister Alosius, isn't that bad?"
"Do you really think that's good?"
"Well, that's not good. ”
Sister James's innocence seemed so weak and pitiful in front of Sister Alosius.
It was a lot of fun for the audience.
Immediately after that, the conversation between the two nuns came to the point.
"You mean, there's something unusual about Donald Mueller?"
"This ...... Yes, his look was that special, special ......"
"When did it start?"
"After coming out of Father Flynn's quarters......"
When Sister Alosis heard this, she stood up suddenly, her eyes shining sternly under her glasses.
Doubts, began.
