The film that Jiang Se is currently preparing to shoot is "The Devil", and musicals and light-hearted comedy are not her choice at this time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Her eyes fell on "Begonia Autumn", and she was a little surprised:
"Before the last time this drama was broadcast, it was more than 50 years ago."
This is a work of the Republic of China, which was arranged into a drama at that time, and it also caused a great sensation.
Dong Chaoping glanced at Jiang Se with some surprise and gave a thumbs up:
"I didn't expect you to know this."
In recent years, the performance programs of the Grand Theater have also kept pace with the times, and with the increase of entertainment methods for the Chinese people, the performance programs of the Imperial Grand Theater have also kept pace with the times in recent years, introducing many foreign classic songs and dances and more performance methods, and many traditional dramas have been shelved.
This "Begonia Autumn", is written by Mr. Qin Sipei, once published at that time, caused a sensation, the story is based on the Peking Opera artist Begonia Autumn, he was appreciated by the warlord because of a song "Su Sanqi Solution", and then met and fell in love with the warlord's third aunt, but in the end he was persecuted by the warlord, his life was ruined, and finally committed suicide.
"Taili has recently been re-performing some classic plays, and "Begonia Autumn" is currently being rehearsed and is expected to be held during the Spring Festival."
In fact, in this era, the arrangement of such plays is more based on reminiscences, satisfying the memories of some elderly people for that era.
To this day, many young people may not have heard of the work "Begonia Autumn", Dong Chaoping did not expect Jiang Se to read the script, but he told the time of the last performance of "Begonia Autumn".
"I've heard from the elders in the family before." Jiang Se replied lightly, and did not mean to mention it again, and said a few more words to him, and he talked about the team of "Begonia Autumn" this time.
In order to put such a classic drama on the stage, the Grand Theater also took great pains, after making the decision to re-move the classics, it took half a year to select the drama actors, not to mention the rehearsals during the period, from the protagonist to the supporting role, and then to the tricks, they were all carefully considered.
"Look, which character do you want to try? The third aunt is too or Begonia Autumn? ”
Dong Chaoping asked with a smile: "I'll let them help you take a look." ”
The last time Jiang Se came to the theater to practice, both male and female characters in the drama had auditioned, but most of the roles played were supporting roles.
Dong Chaoping intended to sell a good Sanyu pot, and knew that Jiang Se was just here to study, not to participate in the drama temporarily, so he generously proposed the roles of the two male and female protagonists in "Begonia Autumn" and asked Jiang Se to try.
Jiang Se looked at the script and said with a smile:
"I think the role of warlord may be more suitable for me at the moment."
She glanced at Dong Chaoping:
"Who is playing the role of this warlord?"
She wanted to rehearse the warlord, which was somewhat unexpected by Dong Chaoping, in "Begonia Autumn", the warlord is the worst character in the whole play, brutal and fierce, and the performer is Liang Chunbo, who is quite well-known in the drama industry.
"It's a bit tricky."
Dong Chaoping smiled bitterly, Liang Chunbo is an old artist, he is over sixty years old this year, although his fame and status are not as good as Sanyuju, but in the drama world, his status is also very unique.
This person has a stubborn and eccentric temper, and sometimes Dong Chaoping's account is not bought, and this time he was invited to come back to play the warlord in "Begonia Autumn", all because he likes this drama very much.
Such an old artist didn't listen to Dong Chaoping's words, if Jiang Se wanted to ask him for guidance, maybe Dong Chaoping's words would not be easy, so she could only rely on her own to figure it out.
"It's okay, I won't embarrass you."
After agreeing with Dong Chaoping that he would come to study, Jiang Se did not rush to join the rehearsal of the troupe, but every day, in addition to going to school and practicing dance, he first went to the women's prison to observe the expressions, eyes and physical expressions of the prisoners inside, and occasionally chatted with people, mentioning the life of the prisoners before entering the prison.
Before the evening, he set aside time to go to the Grand Theater, because of Dong Chaoping's previous words, Jiang Se first chose to observe Liang Chunbo up close.
Whenever Liang Chunbo performs on stage, she stands under the stage, watching his every move, watching him vividly play a warlord's early triumph, appreciation of Haitang Qiu and the absurdity of women, and then the anger after knowing that Haitang Qiu and his third aunt have a personal affair in the later stage, and then persecute him regardless of the old feelings, Liang Chunbo shows the ruthlessness and ruthlessness of a warlord to the fullest, and he handles the details very well, and the emotional transition is natural, which will not give people a jerky feeling.
In contrast, the actor who played Haitang Qiu was much suppressed in front of Liang Chunbo, and when Dong Chaoping came to watch the rehearsal process several times, he frowned.
Jiang Se observed in the Grand Theater for a month, most of the actors in the rehearsal of "Begonia Autumn" are very familiar with her, the drama is going to be released during the Spring Festival, and the rehearsal situation has been very tense recently, and a group of main actors and alternate actors who follow the practice often have to practice until 9 or 10 o'clock in the evening.
Usually when Jiang Se came over, it was around six o'clock, and sometimes a little earlier, he would stay with everyone until about ten o'clock.
On the rehearsal stage, the warlord played by Liang Chunbo learned that his third aunt had an affair with Haitang Qiu, and he was furious, and he killed the girl who pulled the string.
The backstage lights are bright, illuminating his expression and movements clearly, when he is beating the girl to death, he gritted his teeth, drooped his eyelids, closed his eyes slightly, and bit out a cold edge mixed with anger on his cheeks, and his expressive movements showed the ruthlessness and fury of the warlord at once.
After the rehearsal of this scene, Liang Chunbo stepped down to rest, the staff of the troupe personally handed him a handkerchief, the rehearsal hall was air-conditioned, there were many people, the headlights were on, it was very hot inside, he played for a while, and his clothes were wet with sweat.
Liang Chunbo took a handkerchief to wipe his face, and suddenly turned his head and asked Jiang Se:
"Xiao Jiang, you have been watching for a month, do you see anything?"
Dong Chaoping was also in the crew, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard him take the initiative to talk to Jiang Se.
After Jiang Se entered the Grand Theater to watch "Begonia Autumn", most of the people in the crew had a very affectionate attitude towards her, and most of the actors knew that Jiang Se came to learn from everyone, not to grab a job, there was no competition, plus she was an apprentice of Sanyu Pot, Dong Chaoping was quite close to her, which also led to many people also having an ardent attitude towards Jiang Se.
But an old actor with a status like Liang Chunbo has a somewhat lukewarm attitude.
