Chapter 732: Rehearsing the graduation play

Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui and others participated in the first parkour event, and when they returned to Huaxia, both crews had already started.

Although they are neither directors nor actors, as projects led by themselves, Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui are still more interested in these two crews. After returning to Huaxia, Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui both went to their respective crews and cared about the filming situation and filming progress of the crew.

In this TV series crew, Xiao Yao is neither a director nor an actor. As a producer, there is no need to stay in the crew every day, so after staying in the crew for a few days and finding that the crew is operating normally, and the shooting progress and the materials filmed are basically satisfactory, Xiao Yao no longer goes to the crew and lets those students play.

In film and television schools, acting students generally have to rehearse a graduation drama in the second semester of their senior year as a graduation performance. This is an important task for acting students in the last semester, but it is not absolutely impossible to be absent, basically every year there will be some seniors who are absent from the graduation drama because they are filming outside.

The graduation performances of the acting departments of the three major universities usually attract many professionals in the industry to watch, and it is also a rare opportunity for those graduating seniors to perform. If you perform well and can leave a very deep impression on the teachers of the school and the seniors in the circle, it will be very beneficial to your future development, so the rehearsal of this graduation drama is still very important for senior students, especially those who are not very famous.

Under normal circumstances, if you don't receive a role with a heavy role in a particularly important crew, students in the acting department usually don't miss this kind of opportunity to show off in the graduation drama.

Normally, Xiao Yao originally planned to take leave to be absent from the rehearsal of the graduation play. But because the crew is running normally, and other things outside the crew are also in charge of the film and television company, Xiao Yao has not taken over the job recently, so he went back to school to rehearse the graduation play.

In the film and television industry, there are still very few opportunities for newcomers to come out. Except for a few students like Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui, who have become famous since childhood and have relatively deep family backgrounds and network resources, it is difficult for ordinary senior students to get weighty roles in good film and television projects. Therefore, the number of students who are absent from graduation dramas every year because of filming is quite limited, and this proportion is relatively fixed.

In terms of Xiao Yao's fame, resources and strength, the school originally didn't expect Xiao Yao to come to participate in the graduation drama, but even if Xiao Yao unexpectedly returned to school to arrange the graduation drama, it could not make up for Xiao Yao's losses caused to this year's Shen Opera graduation drama.

The actors of Xiao Yao's TV drama crew are all seniors in Shenxi's class. The crew started filming in May, and it won't be finished until graduation anyway. There are no big supporting characters in this play, but the six protagonists basically appear in all episodes. Some of the supporting roles and tricks with fewer scenes may also take care of the school's graduation drama, and the actors of the six leading roles are all absent from the graduation drama rehearsal of Shen Opera because of this TV series.

When this crew selects actors, they choose classmates with good business ability but who are relatively not well-known and have no resources and background. In other words, if Xiao Yao doesn't open this TV series project, the actors of the six protagonists will all participate in the graduation drama. Because of Xiao Yao's TV series, the graduation drama students of the acting department of Shenju this year are missing six main actors, which is basically a whole drama missing.

Of course, the school hopes that students can have a good development after graduation, be able to become famous and successful, and achieve career success. Compared with performing a stage play in the school auditorium for hundreds of nearly 1,000 people, it is obviously more beneficial to their development to star in a TV series that can be broadcast on TV and websites, so Xiao Yao opened a project to find school classmates to act as the protagonists, and the school is very welcome and supportive, and I am happy to see it happen.

However, since Xiao Yao, the demon, returned to school to rehearse, the teacher of the acting department naturally used this as a reason to put a heavier burden on Xiao Yao, a guy who had been a director.

The graduation drama is a very important event for the fourth year of the acting department in the second half of the semester, and they start preparing for it very early. However, because of the abundant time, there will be continuous improvements and revisions during the rehearsal process, and the whole play will not be determined very early. When Xiao Yao returned to school, it was still mid-May, and there was still more than a month before the graduation drama, Xiao Yao originally wanted to ask the instructor of a graduation drama to add a role and let him join in, but no one in the teacher of the drama was willing to let Xiao Yao join halfway, but asked him to rehearse another play.

The meaning of letting Xiao Yao rehearse another play is not to find another instructor to rehearse a play for Xiao Yao, but to let Xiao Yao himself act as the director and rehearse this play by himself.

Of course, it's not that the school can't temporarily arrange another teacher to guide Xiao Yao, but who told Xiao Yao to be a director, the short film has won awards, and the feature film has a good score, so the school will take this opportunity to embarrass Xiao Yao again, or to give Xiao Yao, the demon, a chance to perform.

Xiao Yao acted in dramas with Sun Zhihao when he was more than eight years old, and at that time he was already an adult with excellent memory, and he observed how Sun Zhihao was a drama director at that time. When he participated in "Sound Immersion" at the beginning of last year, Xiao Yao acted in two stage plays, especially the final sound show rehearsal in the finals, and he has been following the great director Xu Changrong to learn a lot, and Xiao Yao is still confident in rehearsing a school's graduation play.

There is no problem with writing and directing the screenplay yourself, and in terms of time, there is no big problem in rehearsing another play in more than a month, but the problem is that Xiao Yao has no one! In the graduation drama, Xiao Yao can't be allowed to go up and perform a one-man show by himself, right? Regarding the question raised by Xiao Yao, the teachers did not embarrass Xiao Yao anymore.

The number of students in the acting department of Shenxi this year is about the same as in previous years, with 48 students. Judging from the situation in previous years, the students who are absent from the graduation drama every year are in the single digits, and there are about 40 students participating, usually divided into six crews, with six plays arranged, and the actors of each play are about seven people. This year, due to the relationship between Xiao Yao's crew, there are six fewer actors, so one play is reduced, and the number of actors in each play is still about the same as in previous years.

Because there were only five plays during the preparation period, this year, Shenju also arranged five teachers to serve as the instructors of the graduation play, and the other teachers had other work arrangements, which is another reason why the school asked Xiao Yao to be the director and rehearse the play.

Now there is still more than a month to go before the graduation drama, and with seven or eight actors in the first place, it is not much more difficult to reduce a role than to add one. Now let Xiao Yao arrange another play, and the instructors of each play also agreed that each crew would produce an actor and form a new crew for Xiao Yao.

Although the graduation drama is to show the students their own report performance, and the instructor will try to balance the number of roles in each role, no play can achieve the same number of roles in the role, there will always be a leading role and a supporting role, and there is no way to have a gap in each student's role.

In a play, the protagonist is definitely more difficult to move than the supporting role, so the student actors given to Xiao Yao by several instructors are the supporting actors with the least scenes in several plays.

No matter what the academic performance is or what the business level is, they are all people who have studied in the Shenju Performance Department for four years, no matter how bad this level is, it is not much worse, and it is just a graduation drama, and it is not a commercial performance activity, and acting well is an experience, so Xiao Yao didn't pick or pick it up, and accepted it all according to the order.

For those students who have been adjusted, Xiao Yao's professional level as a director may not be as high as that of the school's instructor, but he is at least a director who has won awards for short films, high box office for feature films, and good ratings, and it is estimated that the difference is not much worse. And Xiao Yao, the demon is famous and well-known, not to mention that he may change from a supporting role to a leading role, even if he is still assigned a supporting role, he may be able to get more attention by starring in the graduation drama with him, so those students have no opinion on being stuffed into Xiao Yao, but are a little excited and looking forward to it.

A month is not a short time, but it is not a long time. The matter of readjusting the distribution was discussed, and after Xiao Yao got the list of actors given to him by the instructors, he immediately summoned these people to the rehearsal room assigned to them and met with them.

Of these five people, only one was Xiao Yao's classmate, and the remaining four were students from the other two classes. However, they are all classmates in the same department, even if Xiao Yao has a lot less time in school than others because of work, but after four years, the classmates in the same department are basically still familiar. After meeting, everyone didn't spend too long greeting each other, exchanging feelings with each other, and soon discussed the graduation drama.

To rehearse a play, the first step is, of course, to have a script.

Xiao Yao is the director of this graduation drama, and he is naturally the screenwriter. Before meeting with these students, Xiao Yao had thought about what story he wanted to play, but he did not plan to complete the script one by one, but was ready to co-create it with the students who starred in this graduation drama.

Before coming to meet Xiao Yao, the instructor told these students that this graduation drama was mainly based on Xiao Yao, and Xiao Yao himself served as the director and screenwriter. Xiao Yao is sure to be the director, but Xiao Yao wants to write the script with them, and everyone has no objection. I heard that Xiao Yao only prepared a story outline, and I wanted to listen to their opinions, and while everyone felt happy in their hearts, they also listened to the story outline that Xiao Yao told them very carefully.

The drama that Xiao Yao wants to stage in the graduation drama is the story of "Donkey Gets Water" in his previous life. After Xiao Yao told everyone the outline of the story, everyone was very interested in this humorous and absurd realistic story, and unanimously said that it was much more interesting than the graduation dramas they had arranged before, of course, it was passed collectively without objection.

Since the students have no opinion on Xiao Yao's script outline, the next step is naturally to get to the point and start refining the script and rehearsals.

This time, Xiao Yao did not have a professional screenwriting team, but worked with the actors of the play he was going to play to create the script, so he did not use the script creation mode of the previous TV series, convened everyone to have a meeting, brainstormed, and gathered everyone's wisdom and ideas to improve all the details of the script before proceeding to the next step, but started rehearsals according to the outline of the script, and in the rehearsal, the details of the script were perfected according to everyone's feelings when they performed.

In the previous life, "Donkey Gets Water" is a commercial drama performed in a theater, and its duration is also the duration of a commercial drama. And the graduation drama of the Shen Opera Performance Department is just a stage play. The performance time of the entire graduation drama is only about two hours, and if you want to perform six graduation dramas, simply divided into the head of a certain graduation drama, in fact, it is only a dozen or twenty minutes, which is only equivalent to about one-sixth of the original drama in the previous life.

In the previous life, "Donkey Gets Water" is a commercial drama performed in a theater, and its duration is also the duration of a commercial drama. And the graduation drama of the Shen Opera Performance Department is just a stage play. The performance time of the entire graduation drama is only about two hours, and if you want to perform six graduation dramas, simply divided into the head of a certain graduation drama, in fact, it is only a dozen or twenty minutes, which is only equivalent to about one-sixth of the original drama in the previous life.

Therefore, compared with the original version, the gap between this graduation drama version of "Donkey Gets Water" is very large. Although Xiao Yao has watched the original drama in his previous life and watched the original movie, it is still very, very difficult to reduce such a story to one-sixth of the length.

But fortunately, Xiao Yao rehearsed a student stage play in a university, not a commercial drama, and his requirements for this play are not so high, and with the help of the collective wisdom of five classmates, it is not to the extent that it cannot be completed.

Xiao Yao and the five actors spent two weeks to jointly determine the details of the script and complete the final script, after which it took another two weeks for everyone to rehearse the graduation drama created by everyone more familiarly.

A month has passed, and the performance time of the graduation drama is very close. The rehearsal space has also been moved from the rehearsal room to the school theater, where the graduation show will be held in the future. Of course, this theater is used by several graduation crews in turn, and the rehearsal time is not as abundant and free as in the rehearsal room. But fortunately, at this time, all the details of their graduation drama have been determined, and there is no need to discuss and revise the script while rehearsing, just rehearsal, if you increase the familiarity and tacit understanding, this rotation rehearsal time is enough.
