Chapter 22: I Want to Know You Better
The Pioneer Theatre is a small theatre with a total of 320 seats.
One of them, is being occupied by the sun.
Entering March, this weather, wearing a down jacket is a little hot.
had already been confirmed by the old man in the mailroom before, and he was only left with Adi's clothes when he was facing the sun.
He sat in the fourth row, and the further he went to observe and study, the better, but the first two rows were filled with the director and other staff, plus there were some people who came to see the rehearsal.
Xiang Yang adhered to the principle of not causing trouble to others, so he chose this fourth row.
On stage, "Suspicion" is going on.
The lights make a cross, and Father Flynn, dressed in a green sermon robe, reads a white speech.
"You seek God's will, but you cannot 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?"
Playing Father Flynn is Mr. Liu Xiaofeng, in Xiang Yang's eyes, he is not only handsome, but also has very deep acting skills.
The most basic requirement for the 320-person small theater is that the actors do not bring microphones, and rely on their own voices to let the audience hear clearly.
Basically, this is a threshold, and without a certain amount of professional training, it is difficult to do this alone.
This is line kung fu, which is also available in that cheatbook, and the master's annotations are also very interesting.
"With a loud voice, I guess it's not okay. I've heard that famous singers breathe through their bellies, and this is amazing......"
The smell of old iron in the Northeast is full of eyes.
Xiang Yang still has to practice belly breathing, but his voice is okay.
He has watched the play "Suspicion" more than once, the plot has been completely figured out, and the performances of four of the actors have left a deep impression on him.
Sister James, played by Wan Xiaoye, is simple and kind.
Sister Alosis of Teacher Li Yeping is suspicious and stubborn.
Father Flynn's decency and trendiness, and the black matriarch's unwillingness to cause trouble.
But in addition to these, he couldn't help but think about that movie, "Blind Mountain".
For the role of Huang Decheng, Xiang Yang did not agree immediately.
According to Li Yang's whole idea, the most complicated thing in the movie "Blind Mountain" is this Huang Decheng, and he has already made up his mind from the beginning to find a professional actor to play it, otherwise, it will be difficult for ordinary local people in northern Shaanxi to control.
The role of Huang Decheng is very bad, and he makes the heroine Bai Xuemei's last hope disappear.
As a teacher in the village, teaching 'babies to read', Huang Decheng was the one who had the best chance to get out of the mountains, but he did not succeed in getting admitted to the university, and Bai Xuemei was a college student, but was sold to the village by human traffickers, Huang Decheng seduced Bai Xuemei as the only literary and artistic youth in the village, and told her that he could help her escape and help her deliver letters, but the result was ...... After being caught and raped by Huang Degui, this guy left the village in disgrace.
Judging from the results, this character, no matter what era it is, is an existence that is scum to the extreme.
But this role is indeed very, very complicated in Li Yang's mouth.
He actually wants to help Bai Xuemei, he also wants to go out of this mountain, and he also wants to change the living conditions in this mountain.
However, in the movie "Blind Mountain", what Li Yang wants to show is despair.
In this big mountain, not only this village, town, and even the county seat, almost everyone has formed a tight net, so that a woman like Bai Xuemei who has been abducted and trafficked has no possibility of escaping at all.
For example, I know that it is a crime, but what is the attitude of the village director?
Conniving, cover-up, these are not enough to describe, he created a strong concept to support his behavior, and the village director fundamentally believes that what he is doing is right.
In his words, 'If you don't do this, how will the men in the village marry a wife, how will they have a baby?'
That's what he said to the police.
When Xiang Yang heard Li Yang's description, he felt shuddered in his heart, but he was very familiar.
I've experienced it in the village, and it may be fundamentally different, but the feeling is very similar.
Therefore, the role of Huang Decheng is indeed very scummy, but the complexity of his human nature is also very attractive to Xiangyang, which is definitely the most challenging role he has encountered so far.
Do you want to play this role?
Is your own ability sufficient?
Wait a minute, didn't you say that you want to show your sword, am I afraid of Xiangyang?
No, the key reason is that Li Yang, this guy, actually proposed zero pay.
I'm living in a basement, and you're embarrassed to let me get paid for nothing?
Under such questioning, Li Yang was also very ashamed, specially, Xiang Yang had another sentence.
And what about Coke, just when I opened a restaurant, but you guy didn't order a dish, and I still had a ride?
Well, a bottle of happy water, and himself, is exactly the 'pair'.
It fully demonstrates his excellent level of mathematics.
Li Yang was so ashamed that he had to agree, if Xiang Yang came to play this role, and this movie made money, he would give Xiang Yang money.
That's a human saying.
In addition, Li Yang also invited Xiang Yang to participate in the production of this movie, let's discuss it carefully, the plot, lines or something, you can discuss it.
This guy wouldn't have had the idea of finding a professional actor with zero pay from the beginning, right?
Xiang Yang couldn't help but be so suspicious, just like the drama in front of him.
Right now.
"You're a psychopath!"
Father Flynn on the stage erupted under the pressure of Sister Alosis, as well as unfounded speculations and accusations.
Bang Bang ...... At this scene, sparse applause rang out.
Is it for Mr. Liu Xiaofeng?
No, Xiang Yang can be sure that the applause is given to Sister Alosius.
Facing the roaring Father Flynn, Alosis remained still, her face unchanged.
Xiang Yang can't help but admire Mr. Li Yeping's acting skills, Sister Alosis is like this, maybe her suspicions are extremely illusory, but she insists on her beliefs, and she is extremely firm in believing that she is righteous.
"Okay, that's all for today. ”
Director Wang Xi is very satisfied.
The tense atmosphere on the stage instantly came to naught, and the four leading actors began to communicate calmly again.
Seeing this, Xiang Yang knew that he was still far away.
……
"Today, you're distracted. ”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li. ”
"Don't apologize to me, you should apologize to yourself, do you think such an opportunity is readily available?"
"I'm sorry, I'm so ......"
"Xiangyang, young people engage in objects, I have no objection, however, also score when. ”
"Ahem...... Mr. Li, you misunderstood. ”
"What did I misunderstand? Who are you staring at with that eyeball, thinking I don't know?"
"Mr. Li, that ......"
After the rehearsal, Xiang Yang was grizzled by Mr. Li Yeping.
However, it seems that Mr. Li has made a mistake.
But, she went on to say this.
"Well, you've watched a few shows, I think, I've got to give you a test, three days later, you come early, you play Father Flynn, play against me, understand?"
"Huh?"
"Don't you dare?"
"No, Mr. Li, thank you, I will definitely work hard!"
"That's pretty much it. ”
When Xiang Yang heard this 'quiz', he was both happy and nervous, after all, he had to face Teacher Li Yeping, and the pressure must be not small.
Moreover, he had already noticed that the tone in which Teacher Li had just spoken to him was no different from that of Sister Alosisi.
This teacher should also be completely into the role, so ......
Is she doubting the relationship between herself and Wan Xiaoye?
Is this bringing the drama into reality?
Xiang Yang is not sure.
……
It's still afternoon, and Xiang Yang's current part-time work time has been fixed at the evening meal.
The owner of Tongfu Restaurant is called Jin Tou, he does have a big head, and he always says to Xiang Yang, you kid is doing a good job, just turn it official and add money to you.
But Xiang Yang has always refused and insisted on working as an hourly worker.
Coming out of the theater, it's time to get ready to work, but at this time...
"Sledgehammer!"
"Master?"
"Haha......"
Since Xiang Yang imitated a line from Mr. Huang's sketch of this year's Spring Festival Gala that night, Master Wan didn't let him go and kept calling him a sledgehammer.
To the sledgehammer?
I'm also a sledgehammer!
But after all, this is unspeakable.
"Today, what is Comrade Wan Xiaoye doing when he comes to me?"
Master Wan smiled when he heard this, "Comrade Sledgehammer, I want to know you more deeply." ”
Xiang Yang's face flushed when he heard this.
Master Wan stomped his feet, "What do you want! I mean, I want to go to you." ”
This...... Blushing even more.
Master Wan wants to laugh, this guy is simple?
"I want you to play with me!"
Oh, that's practice.
