Chapter Ninety-Four: Mr. Rabbit's Jack-o-lantern

Previous Chapter

According to the agreed time with Lin Hai, Shi Nan and Xiao Tu came to the Jinling Troupe together, when they were registering their identities at the door, the security guard at the door had a cigarette between his fingertips, and he didn't even raise his head, until Xiao Tu filled out the form and handed it to the uncle at the door, the uncle suddenly widened his eyes, he glanced at the registration form and then at Xiao Tu, looked back and forth several times, and finally patted his thigh: "Xiao Tu? Isn't this Xiaotu?

Xiao Tu put down the pen in his hand and smiled: "Uncle Li, long time no see." ”

Uncle Li turned from surprise to excitement, and patted Xiao Tu's shoulder: "Yo, your kid has grown so tall, I still remember that you used to have a very good relationship with the kid from the regiment leader's family, and often two people ran in and out......" In the end, Uncle Li sighed, "Alas, how many years have passed!"

Xiao Tu's gaze was also a little distant, and he nodded and said, "Yes, almost twenty years have passed, and I am thirty-three......"

The old man took a hard puff of the cigarette in his hand, as if he had soaked all the memories of the past in this smoke, and asked after a while, "Did you bring your girlfriend to see the old head today?"

Xiao Tu smiled and shook his head.

"Go home today. ”

Uncle Li was stunned, and then laughed: "Okay, it's long overdue to go home, they must be waiting for you!"

Pushing open the door of the rehearsal hall of the Jinling Theater, the stage is rehearsing the drama that is about to be performed recently, everyone is wearing cultural shirts printed with the logo of the Jinling Theater Troupe, first someone caught a glimpse of them, and then more and more eyes gathered, but except for the eyes, there is no other, the drama actors still follow the set time on the stage to complete everyone's lines and actions.

Shi Nan and Xiao Tu found a seat under the stage and sat down, even if they walked into the theater halfway, Shi Nan was still attracted by the excellent performances of the drama actors, and the whole story quickly came alive in her heart.

The drama has such an attraction, no matter how many times Shi Nan watches it, he will emit such feelings.

Shi Nan turned his head to look at Xiao Tu beside him, Xiao Tu's ink-colored eyes, which had always been as warm as a mirror lake, seemed to have a fine light, and golden ripples like hair appeared, Shi Nan knew what Xiao Tu was thinking in his heart, this was a sense of belonging, as he just said - go home.

As the background music gradually subsided, the rehearsal on the stage ended, and the originally silent stage suddenly exploded.

Guo Fan and several teenagers behind him were vigorous and took the lead in rushing down: "Teacher Xiao, you are here!"

Immediately afterwards, a slightly older man on the stage waved his hand towards Xiao Tu, and then said to the people around him, "Eh, look, the legendary Xiao Tu, according to the generation, you, you, you all have to call him Senior Brother Xiao!" After speaking, the man strode off the stage and hugged Xiao Tu firmly, "Stinky boy, I'm finally willing to come back!"

And the drama actors who were still performing on the stage just now also got off the stage one after another, and surrounded Xiao Tu and Shi Nan, and many of them looked older than Xiao Tu, and they also shouted at Xiao Tu: "Senior Brother Xiao is good!"

Xiao Tu spread his hands helplessly, and then said: "Let's call me Xiao Tu, let my senior brother call me old." ”

"That's not good!" The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Xiaotu, you were personally taught by Old Captain Lin, since you are back, you have to listen to this senior brother, take up the name of this personal apprentice, and be responsible for supporting our troupe!"

Xiao Tu stretched out a hand and raised his palm, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, you are putting a burden on me." ”

The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Tu, his eyes gradually reddened, and he slammed into Xiao Tu's palm with a "snap", holding it tightly: "It's been eighteen years, and I'm thinking every day about when your kid will come back!"

"Haven't I come back, brother? Xiao Tu's eyes were also glowing with a faint layer of red.

"Since you're back, hurry up and change your clothes!" Lin Hai suddenly appeared at some point, holding a cultural shirt printed with the logo of the Jinling Theater Troupe in his hand, he was caught by the people around him with a light throw, and then passed it one by one, and finally handed it to Xiao Tu.

Xiao Tu took over the cultural shirt, the texture of the fabric between his fingers is so nostalgic, the scenes in the past troupe are reproduced in Xiao Tu's mind, it is the laughter and laughter of the successful performance, the unspeakable pain of rehearsing all night, and the time passes like fine sand, everything seems to have not changed.

Lin Hai walked up to Xiao Tu and stood still, he squinted his eyes, patted Xiao Tu's shoulder with a pair of wrinkled hands, and said with a smile, "Xiao Tu, welcome home." ”

"Welcome home!" there were familiar and unfamiliar faces, and they all spoke in unison.

Xiao Tu, who changed into a cultural shirt, no longer looks like an anomaly, like a drop of snow integrated into the river and sea, but at the same time it is so dazzling, surrounded by everyone, Xiao Tu stepped onto the stage, they have already reserved a role for Xiao Tu, and Xiao Tu has long been fully prepared for this role, and is fully prepared for the arrival of this day.

The stage kicked off, and Xiao Tu's dream set sail at this moment!

He was born for this stage, and the god of art precipitated him for eighteen years, and at this moment he was finally able to break through the shackles, jump up, and make a splash!

Halfway through the rehearsal of the play, Shi Nan's mobile phone suddenly rang, and Shi Nan was a little surprised when she saw the name of "Liu Wanying" on the caller ID, although she was a little reluctant, but she immediately walked out of the theater and connected the phone in the corridor.

"Nan Nan, are you in the studio now?" asked Liu Wanying.

"I went to the Jinling Troupe with Mr. Xiao, and today is the day when Mr. Xiao returns to the troupe. ”

Liu Wanying's voice also jumped with joy: "This is really good! Then I won't bother you, let's talk another day." ”

"It's okay. Shi Nan found a stone bench and sat down, "Tell me, Mr. Xiao has already gone to rehearsal at this time, and I am very free now." ”

Liu Wanying said with a smile: "Well, then I'll tell you now, it's like this Nan Nan, our station will start recording the second issue of "Walking on the Silk Road", the last Spring Festival special program worked very well, the team was inspired, and wanted to invite a number of voice actors to take turns as guests, in order to give cultural relics or monuments the soul of the way to promote and promote the national culture." ”

Shi Nan's eyes lit up: "Really? This can not only promote the national style culture, but also let more people understand the dubbing circle, it's just great!" After speaking, Shi Nan's face was slightly red, and his fingers couldn't help but climb the wisteria around the bench.

"I guessed you'd be interested, so I wanted to talk to you. Liu Wanying said, "Nan Nan, I hope you can be a resident guest of this show, and you will be the host, and use your style to do this show." ”

Shi Nan rubbed his wisteria hand and suddenly paused: "I'm a resident guest?, this, this ......" Shi Nan couldn't believe his ears for a moment, "You still use my style to do this show, Director Liu, you're not mistaken." ”

Liu Wanying laughed on the other end of the phone: "I have such a plan, naturally it is not a decision made by brain fever, the poll results of our program have come out before, and the audience has the highest evaluation of you and Xiao Tu's program, and many people say that the expression of your program is the most interesting, and it is also the most willing for modern teenagers to see and accept." ”

Heather's eyes widened and she blinked, "Really, really?" Such an evaluation was too precious to her.

"So Nan Nan, what's your answer?"

Shi Nan slowly stood up, and tapped the gray-brown wisteria with her fingers: "I, of course I do, this is an excellent thing for both the national style culture and the dubbing industry, I, I have no reason to refuse! I do!" Shi Nan said two willingly, if it was in the past, she would probably still be as undecided as before, but now the sense of mission in her heart is becoming stronger and stronger, and she is becoming more and more confident in herself, since she has this ability, she hopes that she can do better.

"Nan Nan, you have changed, you have really grown!" Liu Wanying's voice was full of joy.

"However, the studio's new project was just getting on track, and I was afraid that it would be too late. "Heather is not entirely without concerns.

"You can rest assured of this!" Liu Wanying reassured Shi Nan, "The weekly shooting won't take too much time, you are now the actual controller of the studio, so you naturally have to focus on the studio." ”

So on the day that Xiao Tu decided to return to the Jinling Troupe, Shi Nan also made an important decision, with the support of Liu Wanying, she was determined to use her own way to promote the national culture, and at the same time let more people understand the profundity of ancient Chinese culture, although she knew that this was a long road with no end, but Shi Nan firmly believed: if she took one more step, maybe more people would be willing to keep up with her pace, walk through the torrent of history together, experience the vicissitudes of life, and discover the beauty along the way!

————————————————

Two years later, the Jinling Grand Theater.

"Let us once again congratulate the Jinling Theatre Troupe on its successful performance with warm applause!" the host announced loudly.

The audience applauded thunderously, and all the actors once again held hands and bowed to express their gratitude.

"Come, let's give the microphone to Xiao Tu. The host walked to Xiao Tu's side, and the surrounding drama actors gave up a place for the host, "Let's say hello to everyone first." The host laughed.

"Hello everyone, I am Xiao Tu, and I played the role of Zhou Ping in the drama "Thunderstorm". Xiao Tu took the microphone and briefly introduced it.

"Everyone here must know this drama genius around me, his name is Xiao Tu, Mr. Xiao became famous as a teenager, once quit the drama circle, and now he is like a dark horse reappearing on the stage, both acting skills and popularity are terrifyingly high, I want to ask Mr. Xiao, Mr. Cao Yu's "Thunderstorm" is a classic in the drama, the former human art version has always been a classic that is difficult to surpass, Jinling Theater Troupe will re-rehearse this play, I don't know how you feel?" asked the host.

Xiao Tu smiled slightly, like a warm spring day shining on the earth: ""Thunderstorm" is also one of my favorite plays, Mr. Cao Yu once wrote in the preface of the drama "Thunderstorm": 'I think of what a pitiful animal humans are, with a sense of ambition, as if I am in charge of my own destiny, and often not myself. 'I was also played with by fate, I had everything and I lost everything, until I met the most important person in my life, and it was she who made me know what the possibility of fate was. ”

"Oh?!, the most important person in life, today is the last performance of the drama "Thunderstorm", I wonder if she is here?" said the host with a smile.

Xiao Tu's gaze quickly locked on a certain place in the audience, and there was infinite warmth in his eyes: "Yes, she is here today, with my mother." ”

The host looked at the audience with Xiao Tu's gaze, and then the host deliberately exclaimed: "Ms. Qin, a famous drama actor of Renyi, and Shi Nan, a voice actor who has just won the title of Ancient Culture Promotion Ambassador, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law actually appeared here at the same time!"

At this time, the microphone had already been handed to Xiao Tu's mother and Shi Nan's hands.

"Hello Ms. Qin, how did you think of coming to watch Teacher Xiao's performance with your daughter-in-law today?" the host asked.

Xiao Tu's mother stood up elegantly and bowed slightly: "I personally like "Thunderstorm" very much, Jinling Theater Troupe, as a veteran drama troupe, rehearses this play with very high standards, which is naturally very valuable to watch. ”

"Ms. Qin is still as strict as ever!" the host sighed.

In the end, Xiao Tu's mother and Shi Nan beside her looked at each other and smiled, and added: "Of course, being able to watch her son's performance with Nan Nan is also a very meaningful and rewarding thing. ”

……

The meeting was followed by the signing meeting, Xiao Tu said hello to Lin Hai and then returned to the backstage, changed out of his performance costume, wore a peaked cap, quietly left the Jinling Troupe, and turned into a coffee shop next to him.

Xiao Tu walked around the two folding corridors with ease, and finally saw the person he cared about in the shelter in the corner.

"Teacher Xiao is here!" Shi Nan was facing the corridor, and at a glance he saw through Xiao Tu's careful disguise.

Xiao Tu's mother also turned around when she heard the sound, and asked with a smile, "Have you left early and asked Lin Hai for leave?"

"I said it. Xiao Tu said as he walked over to Shi Nan and sat down, holding the girl's hand in his palm, "I've been waiting for a long time." ”

"It wasn't long before my mom and I talked about the studio's latest innovations, and you came. Heather said with a smile, her snow-white skin was ruddy, and she looked like a delicate porcelain doll in the silhouette of the sun.

Xiao Tu reached out and touched Shi Nan's head, and happened to turn his head to see the Americano in front of Shi Nan's eyes, his brows furrowed slightly, but he still said very gently: "Nan Nan, the doctor said that you can't touch food containing caffeine now." ”

Shi Nan was stunned, his face quickly turned red, and he pushed the Americano to Xiao Tu: "I ordered it for you, don't you like to drink ice Americano? Ice is not good for the stomach, I ordered it in advance to let it turn into ice cubes." ”

Xiao Tu was skeptical, but he couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth: "Are you really so well-behaved?"

Xiao Tu's mother looked at her overly nervous son, smiled and shook her head: "Xiao Tu, don't be too nervous, Nan Nan knows it in her own heart and is very self-disciplined, but she smelled the taste of this coffee and didn't drink it." ”

Xiao Tu relieved himself at this time, holding Shi Nan with one hand, and gently covering Shi Nan's stomach with the other hand, he lowered his voice, his voice was as gentle as water and a little hoarse: "Nan Nan, you have suffered alone these days, and now that the performance is over, I will be by your side every day in the future." ”

Shi Nan's face blushed even more, and she glanced at Xiao Tu: "Isn't it just pregnant, how can Mr. Xiao say that I am seriously ill and want to be filial piety at the bedside." ”

"Phew!" Xiao Tu raised an index finger to block Shi Nan's lips.

"Mom, tell me about Mr. Xiao, my uncomfortable days have passed, and now my appetite is very good, so I don't have to worry about it at all. Shi Nan was talking, looking up and seeing Xiao Tu's nervous and serious expression, he didn't mean to joke at all, and even had a little self-blame, so he immediately fell silent, his heart swayed with a burst of warmth, and he reached out and hugged Xiao Tu, "Teacher Xiao is with me, of course I'm happy, I will listen to you obediently, don't worry." Then he dropped a kiss on Xiao Tu's cheek.

Xiao Tu's mother had a smile on the corner of her mouth, the silver spoon gently stirred the coffee in her hand, and took a sip: "Take good care of Nan Nan, come back early to rest after the live dubbing, don't let Nan Nan get tired, I'll go first." ”

"Got it. Xiao Tu and Shi Nan replied in unison.

Two years ago, the "immersive live dubbing" jointly planned by Yitu Studio and Haiyan Studio was staged as scheduled, and the performance venue was selected at the Jinling Grand Theater, and the first performance was not even full, but they still gritted their teeth and adjusted their state, and melted all the hard work and sweat during this time into that performance, there is no doubt that the performance was a success, and the theater that was not full also erupted into thunderous applause.

Immediately after the second and third screenings, more and more people came to watch, and until now it is hard to get tickets......

What is dubbing? What kind of work do voice actors do every day? What are the footprints of voice actors in our daily life? Nowadays, these topics often appear on social software, and dubbing has gradually moved from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, and more and more people are beginning to understand the dubbing industry.

The dubbing industry is moving towards a more prosperous future, as they hoped.

"Do you feel sorry if you can't dub on stage this time?" Xiao Tu pointed to the stage where the live dubbing was performed, and asked with Shi Nan in his arms.

Shi Nan looked at the familiar figures on the stage, hugged Xiao Tu's arm and smiled: "I can't go on stage this time, there will be a next time, and my hard work and Teacher Xiao's earnest teachings are already on this stage, Teacher Xiao, have you seen it?"

Xiao Tu smiled and nodded, he saw it.

He saw the infinite possibilities of the continuous development of the dubbing industry, and also saw the eager yearning of the "fresh blood" for the future of the dubbing industry, and also saw Mr. Rabbit and his jack-o-lantern on the stage......
