Chapter 44: Choice

This play is the pinnacle of Miller's play.

It has been performed more than 700 times in a row, and is known as the greatest play in post-war America.

Therefore, the plot of this drama is almost flawless.

Qiao Mu's performance of this play is good or bad, successful or not, the most important thing is to watch the actors' performances.

Other actors, Qiao Mu didn't want to make more comments.

He just wants to be himself at the moment, and he is immersed in the state of an old man facing unemployment at the moment.

He followed Farhati's advice and set out to step into Willy's role. There wasn't much time, only bits and pieces, and he only experienced the feeling of more than ten hours. But these ten hours had a great impact on him, and he began to change from every movement, every demeanor, and every line.

The guy who played his eldest son walked into the dimly lit kitchen with jerky steps, holding a prop cigarette.

Then leaving the house, the guy walked to the front of the stage, in front of the audience.

Look up.

A bright light shone on the guy's body.

Qiao Mu didn't know what was going on, and the audience in the front row let out some laughter, but he was not affected.

Qiao Mu looked back at the guy and sighed with relief: "He is a vigorous god. Just like Hercules in Greek mythology. And the sunshine, all over his body......"

Qiao Mu recited the second line in the script, but all domestic audiences, no matter where they were, no matter when they were, they would always feel a sense of disobedience. After all, this is a drama translated from the West, with different cultural and historical backgrounds, and there are deviations in the stories of the years experienced. The angle from which you appreciate beauty is naturally different.

In fact, it's not just that it's unacceptable at home.

Foreign young people who don't like drama also hate this kind of chattering expression, and they prefer a straightforward and short way of expression.

Although most of the art on the stage comes from life, it is gradually moving away from life. Perhaps, this is the reason why Farhati studied dramatic arts, but said that he hated stage plays.

Qiao Mu is handsome, but no matter how handsome he is, there is no way to make everyone accept this type of line.

However, fortunately, those who are willing to come to see this drama belong to those who like Western dramas, and they can accept it.

They felt that Qiao Mu's voice was so relieved and emotional. felt that Qiao Mu was like an elder with vicissitudes of life experience, and when he looked at the hope emanating from his children, he couldn't help but sigh the truest thoughts in his heart.

As the lights dimmed, the gas stove in the kitchen began to glow beside the stairs, and blue flames bloomed beneath the reddish curved pipes.

The light turned on again, shining on Reba and Qiao Mu

Reba said with some concern: "Willy, my dear, why does he always have trouble with you." ”

Qiao Mu listened to Reba's voice and felt a little disappointed, this part of the performance should be timid, even if there is worry, but more is still afraid. He thinks that it is understandable for those amateur college students to make mistakes, but Reba should not.

He was distracted, but he quickly recovered, he shook his head slightly, and said weakly, "I'm so tired, don't talk." ”

In the first act alone, Qiao Mu's self-feeling is invincible.

On this stage, he has no opponents.

Under the stage.

The short-inch man with glasses leaned next to his fellow girl wearing a black mask and round-framed glasses and said, "According to Miss Yang, the male number one in Shanshan's play is the man who plays Willy. What do you think of his acting?"

The mask girl said: "His acting skills are very good, but he seems to be too old, and it seems strange to play that kind of president." ”

The man with glasses said: "Miss Yang said that the person was born in the nineties, and his age should be the reason for wearing makeup, so he looks a little old." ”

The mask girl was interested, and she said happily: "If he is a post-90s generation, then his acting skills will be very good, and I can't even feel it." ”

The man with glasses said: "However, this is a stage play, and the way of acting is different. When filming film and television dramas, it is not necessarily so good. ”

The mask girl said: "Who said it, his acting skills are still there." ”

"Then do you decide whether to sign Shanshan's play or "Wife's Secret"? I recommend the latter, the latter has big stars, and the producer is a big company, and it is much stronger. Moreover, they also pay more. The man with glasses said.

The mask girl shook her head and said, "I still prefer Shanshan's play." I like the script and I find it interesting. ”

The glasses man persuaded the girl and said, "But almost all of their plays are newcomers." And it was the first work of Miss Yang's company, and it was difficult to guarantee both the quality and the ratings. I'm your agent, and from the agent's point of view, I hope you can sign the play "Wife's Secret". ”

The mask girl said: "Miss Yang said that Shanshan's drama is adapted from the novel, and with the fan support of the original work, the ratings should not be too bad." ”

"Li Ying, I'll tell you serious. You are now in the rising period of your career, and your exposure can be guaranteed, but word of mouth cannot be ignored. If you act in a TV series that is not popular and no one likes to watch it, you will waste the foreshadowing of the past few years. The eyed man paused, and he said, "Moreover, that drama won't start filming until October, so you'll be idle for a month." ”

The mask girl said: "I also have to rest and rest, filming will start in October, isn't that right? If I sign "Wife's Secret", I will have to join the group immediately after signing it, how tired I am." ”

The man with glasses shook his head and said: "How do you say this? If you don't take advantage of your youth, take advantage of the time period when your popularity is rising, and if you don't take more resources and shoot more scenes, you will have to be caught up by the people behind." ”

The mask girl pursed her mouth and said: "No matter how much you shoot, it's not as fast as someone else's drama." You didn't see Miss Yang, just a "Palace", she was in a mess. ”

The man in glasses smiled, "Do you remember that incident?"

The girl in the mask said, "What's the matter? I'm just saying that the work is important, don't be like that group of paranoid fans, always like to think blindly." ”

"Good works are important, I think we should sign "Wife's Secret", this play is better than Shanshan. ”

"The director of Shanshan's drama is even more powerful, I heard that it was the one who filmed "The Prince Becomes a Frog". The mask girl said.

Then she joked, "Shall we make a bet?" I promise that Shanshan's play will be more popular than 'Wife's Secret'. ”

The man with glasses was a little surprised and said, "Are you sure?"

The mask girl shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, I just think that the latter's mode is all bad, and it doesn't have much impact to skip a few episodes." If you have a bad memory, you will confuse the plot with other dramas. ”

The man with glasses said with some pity: "Then you mean that you decided to sign Shanshan's play?"

The mask girl nodded and said, "At that time, I didn't agree immediately, I wanted to see the acting skills of the rookie actor of the male number one." Now that I've read it, I should sign it too. By the way, when will Miss Yang return to the East China Sea?"

The man with glasses took out his mobile phone to look at the days and said, "I'll be back this week." ”

……

After the curtain call, sparse applause rang out.

There are not many audiences, and the overall performance level of the troupe is low, and Qiao Mu already feels very good to get the applause of a small part of the audience.

Qiao Mu looked at the audience that was gradually dispersing, and sighed: "Even the strongest king can't bring a group of bronze big hands." What's more, I can only be regarded as platinum or so. ”

Qiao Mu felt that this sentence was very appropriate, and it perfectly fit the current situation, although Reba may be at the gold level.

"Qiao Mu, what are you talking about platinum gold?" Reba said as he looked at Qiao Mu.

Qiao Mu smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'll use my mobile phone to check what is a better gym first." Once we're done removing our makeup, we're going straight over. ”

Reba said: "No need to check, I told Sister Zhou Yi that I would follow her directly." She knew of a gym with great service, and she was working out there. ”

Qiao Mu took a breath of cold air, he felt that something big would happen later.
