Chapter 735
is also one of the three major film and television schools in China, and the graduation drama of the Shenju Performance Department is similar to Yandian in terms of process and scale. In addition to the students of the acting department, school leaders, college leaders, some alumni who graduated in previous years, students from other faculties, and students' relatives and friends were all present, and the school theater with nearly 1,000 people was almost full.
However, unlike the last time in Yandian, this time Xiao Yao is a performer and has been waiting backstage. The parents and friends who came to cheer for Xiao Yao and Nina Aiyiguli and watched their graduation drama were all entertained by Lin Qisan, who was absent from the graduation drama.
When the graduation drama began, a student-like host walked onto the stage to announce the curtain, and the report performance of the graduation drama of the 17-level performance department of Shenju officially began.
In terms of teaching quality and student business level, the performance departments of the three major film and television schools in China have always been at the same level. The students also showed a very good level in the graduation drama of the Shenju Performance Department, and the teachers and students in the audience watched it with relish, and after each play, the audience burst into warm applause.
There are a total of six plays in this graduation show, and Xiao Yao's self-written "Donkey Gets Water" is arranged in the last one.
Although the teachers of the acting school said that they wanted Xiao Yao to be the director and screenwriter and rehearse his own graduation play, after all, the graduation show was a public performance by nearly 1,000 people, and there were school leaders, teachers and students from other faculties, graduated alumni and people outside the school who were present to watch, and they couldn't lose the face of the Shenxi Performance Department in front of these people, so after Xiao Yao's play was rehearsed, the teachers of the acting school also came to watch and review.
From the point of view of the performance level, Xiao Yao's group is no worse than other groups, and from the content of the play, Xiao Yao's original new play is more interesting than other groups, so the teachers arranged them in the last one.
Xiao Yao's play is a new play, except for the instructors in charge of the graduation drama of Shen Opera, no one else has seen it. When the host announced the curtain, he also introduced that this was a play created by themselves. Seeing such an absurd and humorous story, many of the audience were surprised by the creative talent of this group of students in addition to applause and laughter. Judging from the audience's reaction, Xiao Yao's graduation drama is undoubtedly the most brilliant of the six plays.
After all six plays were performed, the dean of the Shenju Performing Arts Academy sitting in the audience also made a simple comment on these six plays, among which the most mentioned was the absurd realistic drama of Xiao Yao's group. Finally, after the dean of the college gave some encouragement to all the students, the graduation show came to an end.
In terms of the school's teaching arrangement, there are almost no classes in the second semester of the senior year. The dissertation defense was held almost a month ago. The graduation examination of other departments such as the directing department is in other forms such as submitting works, and only the graduation drama performance of the acting department is the most powerful, and it is also arranged to be carried out at the end. After the graduation show, the next step is the graduation ceremony of the whole school, which is scheduled for the day after the graduation show.
After the graduation show, everyone is sure to celebrate. However, because there was a graduation ceremony the next day, and then there was a casual dinner for the whole department, which was not the last time the students met, so Xiao Yao did not go with his classmates that night, but only went back to his residence with Zhao Rui and other friends to celebrate. Xiao Yao is one of the landlords in Shencheng, his Loft place is big, there are many rooms, and there are many things to play, compared to Lin Qisan who lives at home, Xiao Yao is the only one who lives there, there is no parental care, it is relatively free, if there are no special circumstances, the meeting place of the friends is generally in Xiao Yao's residence.
Considering that there was still a graduation ceremony to attend the next day, several young people didn't play too crazy and didn't drink too much. After everyone laughed for a while, the atmosphere gradually quieted down, and somehow they talked about their future plans and intentions.
Because Zhou Zhihao also graduated this year, and the school's graduation ceremony and other important arrangements conflicted with the time of Shen Opera, so Lin Qisan did not attend the graduation ceremony of Xiao Yao and Lin Qisan this time. Now five of the six people in Xiao Yao's residence are professional actors who graduated from the acting department, and they have established a film and television company together, and they will definitely devote themselves to the entertainment industry as actors in the future. Everyone is relatively sure of the future development direction, and there is no confusion like that of ordinary college graduates, so the future plans and intentions that everyone talks about are basically future work arrangements.
Speaking of work, Zhao Rui and Zhu Zitong are currently producers of film projects, and Xiao Yao and Lin Qisan are producers of TV series projects. Except for Xiao Yao, the other three are actually operating a project as producers for the first time, and they all want to do a good job of these two projects from beginning to end, so before the release and broadcast of these two projects, none of them plan to take over the film.
Nina Aiyiguli did not participate in the TV series project much in the early stage, mainly because Xiao Yao also did a lot of work in this area in the early stage. There are two people, Xiao Yao and Lin Qisan, and Nina also feels that there is a limit to what she can do. Now Xiao Yao is obviously planning to withdraw, and Nina Aiyiguli also plans to go to the TV drama project to help Lin Qisan after the graduation ceremony, and she doesn't plan to take over the drama for the time being.
The work of these four people in the future has been determined, and the rest are Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting. Talking about Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting's work plan, everyone naturally remembered the plan to adapt "Donkey Gets Water" into a movie that they talked about during the rehearsal of the theater of Shenju a few days ago.
"Bayi, how is the adaptation of the movie script of "Donkey Gets Water"?" Zhao Rui asked Xiao Yaodao.
"yes, you have to hold on tightly," Lin Qisan also smiled, "We're all waiting to see Duo'er's screen debut!"
In this movie, Xiao Yao is scheduled to play the heroine by Sun Tingting. Among their wave of people, except for Zhou Zhihao, who was born as an athlete, the only one who has not officially starred in a film and television drama is Sun Tingting. Thinking of this film project, everyone naturally cared about the progress of the adaptation of the script.
"The first draft of the film script has been completed. Xiao Yao said, "But recently preparing for the graduation drama and graduation ceremony, the preparations of the crew have to wait for the graduation ceremony to start, and it is still far from starting." ”
"What? The movie script has already been written?" Zhao Rui and the others were taken aback.
They originally asked casually, but they didn't expect Xiao Yao to have changed the script.
"It's only been a few days, and the script has already been written?" Zhao Rui asked with confirmation.
"Don't you have to rehearse these days? And it's two rehearsals for the big drama and the band, how can you still have time to write the script?" Lin Qisan also said, "Did you write it yourself?"
"Of course, I wrote it myself!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "The rehearsal of the big drama is only two hours a day, and the band rehearsal is only half a day, so I have a whole night of free time every day." This is originally a story that I came up with on my own, and it is just an adaptation, not a new script, a few nights is enough!"
"Yes, it's still that demon!" Zhao Rui shook his head and said to Xiao Yao, "Then since your script has been written, while we are here, show it to us!"
"Didn't you all care about this project and let me and Duo'er play by ourselves?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"We don't care if we don't participate in this project, but whether we are shareholders of a film and television company or Duo'er's brother, we have the right to help Duo'er check and review your script, right?" Zhao Rui said confidently.
"Brother, I'm still her boyfriend," Xiao Yao said disdainfully, "The company's shareholder, my money is not all in the film and television company, believe it or not, I don't put this project in the name of the company, and invest in it alone?"
"You!" Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan glared together.
"If you're curious and want to read the script, just say it, why bother looking for so many reasons?" Xiao Yao pursed his lips, turned around and walked upstairs, and said without looking back, "Wait, I'll get it!"
"Damn! so arrogant!" Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan glanced at each other, picked up the sofa cushion behind them, and smashed it towards Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao seemed to have long eyes in the back of his head, took a step to the side, dodged the two cushions smashed from behind, and sped up his pace and jumped up the stairs leading to the second floor.
Within a few minutes, Xiao Yao grabbed the pole in the middle of the stairs and slid down. Seeing that the two cushions that hit him on the ground were gone, apparently who picked them up, Xiao Yao walked directly to Zhao Rui and the others, handed out a laptop and a pile of bound paper and said: "I only printed one copy of the paper script, and there is an electronic version in the computer, so you can read it separately." ”
"Okay!" Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan took it separately.
Zhao Rui took the paper script, and after opening it, Zhu Zitong and Sun Tingting also came to the side to read it together. Lin Qisan is connected to the computer, and after opening it, the desktop is the document of "Donkey Gets Water", and after double-clicking and clicking on it, Nina Aiyiguli also came over to read it together.
"Haven't you seen it yet?" Zhao Rui found that Sun Tingting also came over, and said with some surprise, "Haven't you lived here these days?"
"He secretly wrote it from me, and I didn't even know he had already written the script. Sun Tingting glanced at Xiao Yao and said to Zhao Rui.
"I just finished writing it last night, and I'm going to show it to you tonight and surprise you!" Xiao Yao explained, "But they all asked, and I don't want to lie." Anyway, it's the first draft, and it may be changed in the future, so let's discuss it together when the time comes!"
"Then I'll show you this, after all, you are the heroine! Let's watch it with San'er and them!" Zhao Rui handed the paper script in his hand to Sun Tingting, and then picked up the laptop that Lin Qisan was holding on his lap and put it on the coffee table in front of the sofa, adjusted up the font of the document, and the four of them looked at the electronic version together.
The five of them were reading the script in two groups, and Xiao Yao had nothing to do for the time being. Seeing that the things on the coffee table were almost finished, I went to the kitchen to get some snacks and brought them over.
"How do you set the time of the story in the Republic of China?" Seeing Xiao Yao coming back with snacks, Zhao Rui, who hadn't finished reading it, raised his head and asked Xiao Yao, "I remember you once said that you don't like the story of the Republic of China the most, saying that the situation at that time was too chaotic, and any love seemed too fragile." ”
In the graduation drama of Shen Opera, there is no clear explanation of the background of the era in which the story takes place. Everyone takes it for granted that it is modern, but in the movie script, Xiao Yao determined the specific era background at the beginning, so Zhao Ruicai was in a hurry to ask questions before reading the script.
"In order to pass the trial!" Xiao Yao picked up a piece of potato chips and chewed it in his mouth, "Isn't it really released in China, don't you want the domestic market?"
"You guy, you are really still a profiteer in your bones!" Zhao Rui shook his head.
"Wait, I haven't finished this page yet!" Zhao Rui turned around and found that Lin Qisan had already pulled to the next page, and quickly reached out and pulled the page back on the touchpad.
"Okay, what do you have to say after reading it!" Zhu Zitong pulled Zhao Rui and said, "Don't keep letting the three of us wait for you alone!"
When they saw the halfway point, Lin Qisan, Zhao Rui and the others all looked up with strange eyes, but thinking about the things that Zhao Rui asked about affecting the progress of others just now, everyone couldn't bear to speak, quickly turned their eyes back to the screen, and then watched.
After a while, Zhao Rui and the other four people, who were originally leaning forward and looking at the computer screen on the coffee table, straightened up one after another and leaned back on the back of the sofa. The four of them had obviously finished reading it, but they just looked at Xiao Yao with strange expressions, and no one was in a hurry to speak.
"How is it?" Xiao Yao could only ask first.
Zhao Rui saw that Xiao Yao had spoken, so he smiled and said, "Bayi, you can! Duo'er's first play, you let her come to a large scale?"
Xiao Yao's script is basically written according to the original version of the movie in his previous life. There are only two female characters in the main characters in this movie. One is Zhang Yiman, a female teacher with a variety of charms on the outside but a simple and lovely heart, and the other is Sun Jia, the young daughter of the principal who has no experience in the world, is innocent on the outside, and is still weak in her bones. Whether it is from the perspective of the number of scenes, the charm and importance of the role, the heroine affirms the former Zhang Yiman.
It is especially worth mentioning that in the original version, the female teacher Zhang Yiman had a chuang scene with the coppersmith, and Xiao Yao also kept it. Everyone knows that Xiao Yao has determined that Sun Tingting will play the heroine, that is to say, Sun Tingting should play the role of Zhang Yiman. Sun Tingting acted in a movie for the first time, and Xiao Yao arranged a chuang scene for her? After Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan read the script, they didn't know how to evaluate it.
"What kind of scale?" Xiao Yao glanced at Sun Tingting carefully, and saw that she was still reading the script seriously, before turning to Zhao Rui and said, "I haven't had time to draw the sub-camera yet." When shooting, at most the shoulders are exposed, and the scale is not much!"
"Okay, even if the scale is not big, but there is always a kiss scene, right?" Zhao Rui continued, "Whether there is a split shot or not, this kiss scene is not much different, right? Although we are all professional actors, we shouldn't care about this, but after all, this is Duo'er's first kiss on the screen, are you willing to let her give it to others like this?"
"Who said I was going to give it to someone else?" Xiao Yao said, "I play the coppersmith myself, the chuang play, the kiss scene, it's all mine!"
"You play the coppersmith?" Zhao Rui and the others all looked at Xiao Yao in surprise, and even Sun Tingting on the side put down the script and looked up.
"Why, can't you act?" Xiao Yao said.
"This is a movie, not a drama!" Zhao Rui pointed to the laptop in front of him, "Tell me yourself, in addition to your age, what kind of place do you look like the coppersmith in the script?
There is still a big difference between drama and film in terms of performance style. Drama is a stage art, and the performance style is more exaggerated, while movies and TV series are close to life, focusing on "truth" and "image", so there are higher requirements for the image similarity between actors and characters.
"Why can't you act?" Xiao Yao said, "I still have to play it for you!"
The coppersmith character is a local man with a dark complexion and a mouth full of the local dialect. was originally a simple young man who had never read a book and was forced to pretend to be a teacher by others, resulting in the final blackening. Later, it was not difficult for Xiao Yao to pretend to be a teacher, mainly because the external image of the whole character and the character in the early stage were too far from Xiao Yao. But for Xiao Yao, these are not unsolvable problems.
In terms of external image, he can use technical means such as tanning to change his skin color, and the language problem is not a difficult problem for him, and in terms of character personality, Xiao Yao, who played the intellectually impaired "Chengying" many years ago, also believes that it will not be too difficult for him to play a simple role.
This role is actually very challenging for the actors. The personality and performance of the characters before and after are very different, and the blackened part in the back forms a very strong contrast with the simplicity in the front, which is very impactful and the character tension is very large. In this movie, the role that Xiao Yao wants to try the most is precisely this coppersmith, and he also plans to challenge and try it himself, so when writing the script, Xiao Yao kept the chuang scene without any scruples.
"Okay, then we're looking forward to what you can do with this coppersmith. Zhao Rui saw that Xiao Yao was so determined, so he didn't say any more.
"Think about how Duo'er is molesting Bayi in bed~" Lin Qisan made up the scene in the script, then covered his eyes with his hands and smiled, "This picture alone is worth a movie ticket, and I am now full of confidence in the box office of this movie!"
"Yes!ha~" Lin Qisan said this, and the three people next to him also made up for it, and then they all laughed.
"Get out!" Xiao Yao picked up a pillow on the sofa next to him and smashed it at Lin Qisan.
"Okay," Xiao Yao and the other four laughed for a while, regained their serious expressions, and asked very seriously, "To be serious, what do you think of this script?"
"Okay, good! It's worth shooting!" all four of them got serious and nodded seriously.
Truth be told, those jokes aside, they do think this script is worth filming!
