Chapter 111: Performance

Although tomorrow is the official performance of "Hurricane", Lu Yan did not read the script after returning to the house, he is already familiar with the lines of "Hurricane", how to say every line, how to act every action, he already has a score in his heart, only the audience's reaction is unknown.

Although he was scolded by Chen Baoguo during the rehearsal before, it did not affect his confidence in his acting skills, especially after yesterday's enlightenment, and now it can even be said that he is full of fighting spirit.

I wasn't idle, I turned on the computer, found a few movies and TV series, and today's chat with Zhao Kui'e made him realize his shortcomings, Zhao Kui'e gave many examples that he didn't know at all, there were no conditions before, and now that he has a computer, he naturally has to make good use of it.

Another point can be regarded as relaxing the tense nerves of the past few days, Chen Baoguo's expectations made him feel very stressed.

At the beginning, his purpose in learning drama was just to hold the idea of "the stone of other mountains can attack jade", hoping to hone his acting skills and seek breakthroughs through different ways, but now this idea has completely faded, and he only thinks about how to play "Hurricane" well.

The first thing I watched was "Mansion Gate", starring teacher Chen Baoguo, who once won the brilliant results of the annual ratings championship, and Lu Yan had seen a lot of them before, but he didn't watch them all.

After watching four or five episodes, Lu Yan understood a little bit about the gap between himself and Chen Baoguo, Chen Baoguo also has the shadow of drama when he performs, but it doesn't make people feel abrupt, as if he has blended two different performance forms together, which makes people feel that this character should be like this.

"It's not ordinary difficult to achieve this level" felt that his eyes were sour, and when he turned off the computer, Lu Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly, it has nothing to do with the way of acting, but the actor's own ability to control it.

If you really want to describe it, Chen Baoguo in "The Gate of the Mansion" is like being on a threshold, one foot has stepped in, and he seems to be wandering outside another threshold.

Lu Yan also paid attention to another thing, when he just watched "Mansion Gate", there was a promotional advertisement for "Blood Romance" at the beginning of the film.

However, this publicity is not led by Teng Wenyi, similar to his usual style in the past, he himself is not concerned about publicity, everything is promoted by Jiangsu Satellite TV, and propaganda advertisements are bombarded in turn.

As soon as the news of the launch conference of "Blood Romance" was released, the first round of broadcast rights was bought by Jiangsu Satellite TV, and iQiyi Network broadcast it simultaneously, and the two parties were quite optimistic about this drama.

"Blood Romance" is scheduled to premiere on the evening of the 30th, after the millennium, CCTV's dominant position is in jeopardy, but the sky-high advertising costs have not declined at all, and the major local stations seem to smell the fishy cat, they have made adjustments, and big moves are frequent, and Jiangsu Satellite TV is one of the most active local stations.

The blowout growth of the TV drama market in the past two years is not unrelated to the increasingly fierce competition between major TV stations, and for the audience, it solves the problem of food and clothing, and naturally has a demand for spiritual entertainment, and TV series are obviously one of the lowest-cost ways.

For "Blood Romance", Lu Yan didn't have much expectations, the book is indeed a good book, but the limitations of the times made him feel that this drama was difficult to become popular, in comparison, it was not as good as the fantasy "The Legend of the White Snake", after all, it is a well-known mythological story with a wider audience.

Because there is a performance tomorrow morning, Lu Yan didn't stay up late, had dinner, and went to bed after watching a few episodes of "Mansion Gate".

When he came to Studio No. 2 the next day, Tian Qinxin was already there, sitting alone in a corner of the stage.

"Hurricane" has been performed for several years, except for Xin Baiqing who went to other crews, there is basically no change in personnel, and the preparation before the performance, everything is according to step, and Tian Qinxin does not need to take care of it.

Nodding at Tian Qinxin as a greeting, Lu Yan entered the backstage to put on makeup, he didn't know if Chen Baoguo would come over today, but he wanted to find out that Zhe would come and see.

Lu Yan also understands that being able to get the male lead in "Hurricane" is not only Chen Baoguo's face, but also Cha Cha Zhe's investigation of his acting skills, if it really doesn't work, even if Chen Baoguo has a relationship, he can only play some less important roles in the theater in the future.

Although today may be the last performance of "Hurricane", there is no oppressive atmosphere in the background, whether it is the staff or the actors, when putting on makeup, Lu Yan heard the laughter of Tao Hong, who played Lin Weizhong, and Yuan Yan, who played An E, from next door.

After putting on makeup and changing clothes, seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Yan wanted to go to the front to have a look, and just when he went out, he happened to meet Tao Hong and Yuan Yan who also came out.

He didn't know the two of them well, he only met during rehearsals a few days ago, so he just nodded and walked to Studio 2 first.

When they arrived at the exit of the backstage, the scene notes and a few intern actors were already waiting, Lu Yan said hello to a few people, pulled up the curtain, and secretly glanced at the audience from behind, and his mouth couldn't help but open.

The studio, which can accommodate 400 people, was not even a third of the people sitting at this time, and it was sparse, and from time to time one or two muffled words and laughter could be heard.

Subconsciously, Lu Yan clenched his fists, but after reacting, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, the attraction of drama is not as good as film and television, no matter how hard he tries, it is impossible to fight against the general trend, and he is still a film and television actor.

"No problem, right?" Tian Qinxin walked over and patted Lu Yan's arm, she wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but it wasn't that high, and finally stopped at the arm.

Lu Yan nodded and said, "Don't worry, director, I will do my best." ”

Tian Qinxin's face couldn't see joy and anger, and said: "Just take it easy, just act according to your own ideas", after saying this, Tian Qinxin walked to the front desk.

Lu Yan was stunned for a while, although Tian Qinxin was comforting him, he always felt that it sounded weird, and his words revealed helplessness.

"Whatever, as long as I act well"

As the music sounded, the actors came to the front stage one after another, Lu Yan looked at the figures that came out one by one, I don't know what was going on, I was a little nervous, really speaking, this was his first performance.

"What did Chinese audiences watch in the last century?"

"Watching plays, operas, singing and dancing."

"Chinese students at St. John's College in Shanghai perform English drama on the occasion of Jesus' birthday......."

The lights on the stage went out, and seeing the gesture of the drama manager, Lu Yan immediately ran to the front desk, lying on his side on the ground, facing the audience.

The light focused, and he first moved, and then supported himself with his hands, and slowly stood up.

"When I was a child, I was not in good health, my mother felt that the child was not easy to raise, so I became a monk, when I was nine years old, I went to my cousin's house to play, and saw her eyes, in the semi-dark room, bright and flickering.... Huh"

Lu Yan was wearing a white collarless Chinese shirt, black pants, and black cloth shoes at this time, standing on the stage, looking at the top of the studio, and said slowly, his voice was not loud, and the speed of speech was not fast, as if he was recalling a story.

Tian Qinxin frowned slightly on one side, and then as if he had thought of something, he shook his head and stretched out again.

The silence in the studio could be heard, except for Lu Yan's voice: "When I go home, I tell my mother that I won't do it, so that's it...... I stepped into the red dust! ”

When the last sentence "I stepped into the red dust in one step", Lu Yan suddenly broke out, his voice was sonorous and powerful, as if a silver bottle burst out.

Many absent-minded audiences before were also taken aback by Lu Yan's sudden change in tone, but the lights on the stage were not bright, and they couldn't see his appearance clearly, but they inadvertently focused their eyes on him.

"Huh"

In a position on the far side of the first row, Cha Cha Zhe couldn't help but sigh in surprise when he saw Lu Yan's performance, and then realized his gaffe, shook his head and smiled.

Lu Yan's performance continued, he lowered his head, at first, as if dream-like, he said: "I haven't finished studying at Tokyo Normal School, six years in Japan, and I have never obtained an undergraduate degree, forgive me for not being filial, mother, I like to love in my dreams, I am willing to fly with my interests, the play is nonsense, but I am serious, I was a little confused when I was a child, I probably can't realize it, I only love the color I want, I will listen to her pull out a track, lead me to turn freely, and ........move forward happily" The more he spoke, the faster he spoke, the louder his voice became, and in the end, almost shouted.

........

Throughout the "Play within a Play" clip, Lu Yan is like a magnet, not only the audience, but even Tian Qinxin's gaze has been staying on him.

"Bang Bang Bang"

When the curtain of the first scene was closed, the applause in the studio lasted for more than ten seconds, although there were not many people, Lu Yan, who was busy going back to the backstage to change clothes, still noticed the situation behind him.

This is the first time he has appeared on the stage of the National Theatre as a starring role, and it was inevitable that he was a little excited at first, and there were a few things that were not handled well, but as the plot progressed, the tension in his body slowly faded, making him feel as if he was back on the set.

As the leading actor, Lu Yan has very little time to rest, and when he returns to the backstage, he changes his clothes and asks the makeup artist to touch up his makeup, the time is almost just right.

This deepened Lu Yan's understanding of drama, at least the actor's physical strength must be good, otherwise he would not be able to sustain a performance for two or three hours in a row.

In the second scene, when Lu Yan appeared on the stage again, the audience immediately burst into applause, although it was very short, but there were indeed many people clapping.

Lu Yan didn't have the slightest joy, in the drama industry, he is still a fledgling newcomer, he has never experienced such a scene, it is said that there should be no applause at this time, it will destroy the atmosphere that has been created with great difficulty.

But he didn't mess up, he still stood aside with his hands down, and motioned for Yuan Yu to continue.

"I am Salome, the princess of this country, I am in love with the Prophet, a centenarian......"

........

When the last section of the national anthem sounded, Lu Yan, who was lying on the ground, watched the curtain slowly fall, and heard the applause of the hula below, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
