Chapter 162: Challenging the Impossible
The problem encountered by Li Li's group was the biggest among the eight groups.
In addition to the problem of Liu Huaqiang's role, there is also the problem of female characters, after all, in the play "Conquest", there are only three female characters that the audience is familiar with: Li Mei, Li Li sisters and Wang Sujuan.
For these three female characters, there is no problem of positioning for Gao Yuanyuan, but for Zhou Dongyu......
Is this for Zhou Dongyu to play Liu Huaqiang's lover, ex-lover of a one-night stand, or his ex-wife?
This group was divided into the drama "Conquest", and encountered many difficulties.
In order to solve the problem of Zhou Dongyu's difficult positioning, the script could only be greatly revised to add a new role for her - when her ex-wife was young.
In the original play, Liu Huaqiang's ex-wife is a secondary character, with not much ink and no emotional drama. Li Li put this Wang Sujuan character in front of the beginning of the script, and the story began from the era of Liu Huaqiang and his ex-wife childhood sweethearts.
As for Liu Huaqiang's lover Li Mei, this role was assigned to Gao Yuanyuan, and she had no problem interpreting this role.
Zhang Ershan's role is Feng Biao, a key figure in the play. Zhang Ershan is not too scared of this role.
"Conquest" is a large group play, in addition to these four, this big drama also needs a lot of assistant guests, but the program team has prepared many outstanding students from art colleges as assistant actors in this issue.
Although this group encountered the most problems, it was indeed the first to enter the rehearsal hall.
Walking into the rehearsal room, Li Li asked, "What about the assistant actors?"
"Wait a minute!", Xia Xue picked up the intercom: "Let the assistant actor come to the rehearsal hall, and I'm going to pick the role." β
Two or three minutes later, 3o students walked into the rehearsal hall full of nature, they lined up in two rows, and waved to the four of them.
Zhang Ershan took the script and pointed to a tall man, "Hu Dahai's character, what do you think of this kid?"
This tall man looks very reckless, and his appearance is very suitable for this role, Li Li said: "I think it can." Who will play Liu Huawen?"
A student asked, "Teacher Li, is this character a bed scene in the whole play?"
There was a burst of laughter among the students, but there were also a few students who had not watched the TV series and couldn't understand where the laughter was.
The fate of Liu Huawen in "Conquest" is the same as the fate of Chen Hai in "In the Name of the People", and there are many bed scenes.
Li Li smiled: "Everyone has watched "Conquest", right?
Of the more than 3o students, five raised their hands.
Li Li said: "You are still young, this drama is too old, and it is normal if you haven't watched the drama in O3." β
Everyone said: How old are you? Hmph!
"Those five classmates who raised their hands, forget about this drama, wait for the other groups to make cameos. β
When these five classmates were grieving, Xia Xue suddenly said: "Xiaoli, in this drama, we have invited a special guest to help!"
"Huh?
Xia Xue said: "Please help the guests and make a shining debut!"
In the stereo of the rehearsal room, a familiar classic song suddenly came:
"Do you love me or not,
I don't know what to say,
Do you love me or not,
Tear off the hypocrisy and maybe I'll be better.
β¦β¦β
Accompanied by the familiar singing, Zhou Xiaoou, the actor of Wu Tian in the original play, walked into the room.
The lead singer of the former famous band is very familiar to everyone, and everyone hurriedly said hello.
Zhou Xiaoou asked with some concern: "The topic you guys drew is very difficult, do I still play Wu Tian?"
"Don't play Wu Tian, you play the merchant who sells melons!"
"It's okay," Zhou Xiaoou didn't pick, "Anyway, they're all characters who have been killed, haha." Who plays Liu Huaqiang?
Zhang Ershan shook his head and pointed at Li Li.
Zhou Xiaoou was shocked and asked in disbelief, "You?"
"That's right, but I changed the script a lot, and I can't hold up the characters of the original play. Li Li said frankly.
Zhou Xiaoouzi carefully studied Li Li's overly delicate face, but he still couldn't connect him with the HEI boss, the actor and the role are too opposed!
Zhou Xiaoou asked again uncertainly: "Is it really you?"
Li Li nodded: "Hmm!"
"Oh, that'...... That's good!" Zhou Xiaoou maintained the necessary politeness, "Then let's rehearse, I'll play the watermelon seller, show me the lines......"
After a group of assistant performers were selected from among the students of the various art academies, rehearsals began.
There are a lot of theaters in this one, the rehearsal time is long, the first group on the stage has already begun to perform, their group is still rehearsing, as for the performance of the first group on the stage, and who will finally be promoted, they don't know, and now they don't have the leisure to pay attention to others.
Li Li is still the usual high efficiency, there are basically zero mistakes in the rehearsal, and when he makes mistakes, his teammates lead the way.
This is also something that can't be helped, whoever meets Li Li, who is a pig teammate, only blames Li Li for being too good.
In the rehearsal hall, Li Li and they were rehearsing nervously, and on the stage, the performance of the first group had just ended.
Jiang Wu, Ouyang Nana, Zhu Erlong, and Zhou Yunpeng lined up on the stage and bowed to the audience to thank them.
The three mentors did not hesitate to praise the performance of this group, especially Ouyang Nana's rapid progress.
The audience whispered:
"Business blows each other! Ouyang Nana has acting skills?"
"I don't think it's commercial blowing, Ouyang Nana has indeed made great progress, after all, the foundation is thin, and the acting skills go from O star to 1 star, which is definitely improving by leaps and bounds!"
"Well, that makes sense! Ouyang Nana, come on! You're great!"
β¦β¦
When Ouyang Nana heard that there were "fans" cheering her on, she was very happy.
He said warmly: "Please three teachers, vote for your hand! Among these four players, choose one to be included in your own team! Teacher Zhang Ziyi, who do you choose?"
Zhang Ziyi thought for a while: "This group has performed very well, and I am quite satisfied with the four players, but I abstain from voting in this round!"
Wow!
There were exclamations at the scene.
Zhang Ziyi explained: "Because each mentor has four opportunities to abstain, and there are a total of eight groups to perform, we can only choose five people, so I want to see again! β
Warmly said: "Okay, Teacher Ziyi chose to abstain in this group, what about Teacher Xu Zheng?"
Xu Zheng said very neatly: "I also chose to abstain, frankly speaking, this group performed very well, but none of the actors could completely infect me and let me shoot the button to choose him without hesitation!"
After two consecutive mentors abstained, the faces of the four contestants on the stage were extremely embarrassed. They are all big and small, and they are collectively ignored by the mentors on this kind of stage, and they can't hold their faces.
They especially want one person to be chosen, and if the whole group is denied, that's a bit of a stretch.
In the close-up, the faces of the four contestants are very nervous and very ugly!
Warmly said: "What about Teacher Zhang Jiayi?"
Zhang Jiayi: "I also abstain!"
Wow!
There was an instant uproar at the scene:
"Mom, all abstained?"
"I just praised it so well, it turned out to be polite words?"
"Too strict, isn't it?"
"The first group has no candidates, all of them are in the pending area, oh my God!"
Zhang Jiayi hurriedly comforted: "It's not that you are not outstanding if I don't choose you, because our three tutors have a limited number of votes, each of them only has 5, and you have 8 groups." I want to see the next set. And, after the eight performances, will we continue to choose from your pending zones?"
In the comfort of everyone, the four actors fell off the stage in despair, as for the pending area, the hope is too slim, and one or two of the sixteen or seventeen people in the pending area can be selected.
And the pending area is not good, it's nothing more than the number of mentor teams is not enough, go to the pending area, and pick the big one from the short!
As soon as the four actors got off the stage, it stands to reason that the second group of Li Li should appear on the stage.
At this time, Song Dong waved his hand to Nuan Nuan, "Nuan Nuan, Li Li, their group hasn't finished rehearsing yet." β
Warm startled: "Huh?"
Song Dongdao: "They have too many scenes, and they have a large number of adapted scripts, so it takes more time than other groups! Wang Kai's group, which was originally scheduled to perform on stage for the third group, is willing to perform in advance, I don't know what the instructors think, let's discuss, otherwise, we have to wait for Li Li and their group for more than half an hour, which will affect the recording process." β
Wen Wen walked to the mentor's seat and discussed it with everyone, and everyone had no opinion.
It doesn't really matter which group plays first in this mentor group competition, because it is not a confrontation between groups, but a competition of four actors in the same group. Besides, the third group of people took the initiative to ask Ying to perform in advance, and the mentors had no opinions.
Wen Wen returned to the stage: "After discussion with the three mentors and the expert jury, I agree to the request of the third group to perform in advance, thank you for the friendship of the four actors in the third group! Although we are a competitive stage, we are a family full of love, thank you."
At the same time, please invite the original second group of Li Li, Gao Yuanyuan, Zhang Ershan, and Zhou Dongyu to rehearse quickly!"
When Wang Kai and others performed on stage, the rehearsal room was already busy.
The big drama "Conquest" has changed too much, there are too many actors, and there are many scenes, which is basically completely different from the original work from other groups.
Li Li was in a hurry to guide those students to assist in the acting, he wiped his sweat, it was difficult to mobilize all the actors to the best state in the shortest possible time!
Rehearsed again, and finally it was almost over, Li Li took the water in Huang Xiaomin's hand and drank it with a clatter.
"Xiaoli, how is it? We're all right?" asked Gao Yuanyuan.
Zhang Ershan also said: "It shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
Li Li turned the cap on the bottle, "I think I can only reach this state at the moment, go ahead, go to makeup." β
Everyone came to the dressing room to put on makeup, and the atmosphere in the studio was extremely tense at this time.
The performance of the second group was also unanimously approved by the instructors, but ...... Not a single vote won!
The audience was all boiling.
"All three teachers abstained again?!"
"Wang Kai's performance is really good, he should have a vote!"
"What are you doing? Two groups in a row all abstained? I think Sister A's performance tonight is quite good!"
"That's right, how round those eyes are!"
"Poof, buddy, don't tease me!"
"Neither of the two groups in a row has been voted on by the mentor, is that too harsh?"
"Who can break this embarrassing situation and become an actor coveted by mentors?"
β¦β¦
Wen Wen: "We've done two sets of performances now, and here's the time for the third group.
The third group, the title is "Conquest", this topic is the most difficult topic tonight, because of a large number of adaptations of this play, and the number of participants, the overall completion of this play is very difficult to control, what kind of performance can this group bring us, we applaud below and invite the third group to perform on stage. β
Wow!
The applause instantly spread through the studio.
"This group of big names gathered, Li Li, Gao Yuanyuan, Zhang Ershan and Zhou Dongyu, all of them are famous characters!"
"This level of collision is the only thing to watch!"
"I just came to watch Li Li participate in the recording!
"Li Li, come on!"
β¦β¦
On the big screen on the stage, the cast list was the first to be displayed, so as not to confuse the audience.
γCastγ
Li Li as Liu Huaqiang;
Zhang Ershan as Feng Biao;
Zhou Dongyu as Wang Sujuan;
Gao Yuanyuan as Li Mei;
Wang Song as Liu Huawen (Wang Song: junior student of the Jingdian Performance Department)
Ren Yueshan as Han Yueping (Ren Yueshan: Senior student of the Performance Department of Giessen Academy of Arts)
β¦β¦
When the audience saw [cast], they were all full of greetings, mixed with a few exclamation points.
"Ahh......h Ke Li Li...... How can he have the slightest shadow of Big Brother Hei?"
"Zhang Ershan is also better than Li Li when he plays Liu Huaqiang! Also, Zhou Dongyu plays Li Li's ex-wife......? She...... She looks like a little girl of eighteen or nine!!"
"Although I like Li Li, I admire Li Li, but this drama is going to be ruined!"
"Li Li can't support the role of Liu Huaqiang, Zhou Dongyu can't support the role of his ex-wife, Zhang Ershan plays Feng Biao, and Gao Yuanyuan plays the lover Li Mei, but it's no problem. But this drama is basically explained here!"
β¦β¦
Don't complain about the audience's decline, this set of teams is indeed too incompatible with "Conquest", and the difficulty of this topic is more difficult than that of the first issue of vegetable farmers!
The subtitles on the big screen faded and the curtain closed.
A few minutes later, the curtain slowly opened, and the performance of "Conquest: Road to Revenge" began.
The eyes of the audience instantly focused on the stage, and all the chatter dissipated.
The stage set is a dark village road, the sunset is delicate, the clouds are continuous, and it is already evening.
A Phoenix 28 bicycle creaked up from a corner of the stage.
Liu Huaqiang (Li Li) wore a clean shirt and worked hard to board the bicycle, panting and said, "Juanzi, you are fat again." β
Wang Sujuan (played by Zhou Dongyu) in the back seat bit his back, "I hate it!"
Wang Sujuan hummed "Sweet Honey", and suddenly said, "Qiangzi, when will you marry me?"
"When my brother grows up, I will marry you. β
"Always your brother and your brother," Wang Sujuan asked jealously, "am I important or is your brother important?"
Liu Huaqiang turned his head and glanced at her, "Next, do you want to ask, 'I fell into the water with your brother, who do you save first?'?"
"I didn't ask you this clichΓ© question, you said it yourself, since you have taken the initiative to ask yourself, then who do you save first?
In the other corner of the stage, a strong man suddenly dragged Liu Huawen's collar onto the stage.
The strong man said angrily: "Take out the money!"
"Why should I give you money? Why should I give you the money when I sell things?" Liu Huawen struggled.
"Selling things on my ground, do you have any reason if you don't pay the protection fee?!ah?!Do you understand the rules?"
Liu Huawen said arrogantly: "If you don't want money, you have to die!"
"Hey, you're just as hard as your brother!" The strong man pulled out his dagger and slammed it on Liu Huawen's neck, "Tell me another nonsense, I'll let you have nothing to say from now on!"
"Let go of him!"
The strong man turned his head sharply, only to see Liu Huaqiang rushing over not far away, the strong man pointed the dagger at Liu Huaqiang, and said viciously: "Dao, there are rules on the road, Liu Huaqiang, your brothers should get to know each other...... Ahh
The strong man received a heavy punch from Liu Huawen's sneak attack, and just as he was about to swing his knife at Liu Huawen, Liu Huaqiang suddenly pounced and grabbed his wrist.
The three of them lay on the ground in an instant, entangled together, and fought together.
Wang Sujuan was so anxious that she stomped her feet on the side, and persuaded her to fight, "Don't fight, don't fight!" After that, she kicked twice at the crotch of the big man, and eagerly persuaded her to fight, "Don't fight, what can't you talk about, please don't fight." Bang, she took the opportunity to kick two more times.
Burst!
The audience burst into laughter.
"This is a typical bias rack!"
"How can this act like fighting with ordinary people, and it's not mighty and domineering!"
"That's right, two brothers fight one, shouldn't one person fight n people?"
"The performance is detrimental to my strong brother's demeanor!"
"You guys, do you really think who was born is the boss? This is obviously a prequel, playing how Liu Huaqiang went to the abyss. β
β¦β¦
At this time, the dagger suddenly fell on the stage, Liu Huaqiang picked it up quickly, raised his wrist and stabbed the strong man under him.
"Poof!", the knife "stabbed" into the strong man's body.
In the close-up of the big screen, the bruises on Liu Huaqiang's neck burst out, his eyeballs were bloodshot, and the collapsed plasma stained his face.
The knife frantically stabbed at the strong man under him, and Liu Huaqiang had already lost his mind hysterically.
"Brother!!"
"Hadron, don't!"
β¦β¦
The three instructors all leaned forward, staring intently at the close-up of their faces on the screen, shuddering!
