The lights went on, the bell rang, the whole stage darkened, the staff quickly moved the props to be used, and Lu Yan hurriedly ran to the backstage to change clothes and touch up makeup.

When the sixth bell rang, Lu Yan returned to the front desk again, and the light hit his feet in time.

With his head down, he looked at the audience and said, "On December 10, 1968, I will leave today."

In the front right area of the stage, a middle-aged woman is illuminated by the light, the woman is wearing a plain Chinese coat and sewing a cyan gown in her hand, she plays Tian Han's mother in the play.

The bell faded away.

The woman said: "Shouchang." ”

Lu Yan looked up at the woman, and stopped talking: "Mother."

"I'm going to watch the play again, let's go quickly."

"I went this time, and I can't come back."

She slowly raised her head and said, "I met an old nun that day, and I told her that my son is a dramatist, and my master is telling lies when he says that he is telling a lie, and Buddhism is talking about lies. ”

Lu Yan looked sad and said, "It's almost the moon, and it's very cold, mother." ”

The woman looked at him and sighed: "Since I came back from Liuyang, I don't wear a long gown, what do I wear if I don't wear a long gown, forgetting Lao Li'er is forgetting my ancestors, forgetting what my ancestors are."

She bit the thread, stood up, approached him, put the robe over him, helped him put it on, and said, "If you want to see the play, go quickly, if you can't see the head, you have to watch it in vain." ”

The woman chattered and walked backstage, and on the entire stage, there was only a beam of light left, hitting Lu Yan.

Lu Yan looked at the woman's back, hesitated for a few seconds, and said, "Yes, mother, I'll go and watch the play."

...

Offstage, Tian Qinxin was still like that, squinting his eyes, there was no joy or anger on his face, but his body writhed twice uneasily.

In the audience near the exit, Cha Cha Zhe and Chen Baoguo sat side by side, the lights went out, Chen Baoguo shook his head imperceptibly, and his eyes glanced at Cha Cha Zhe on the side.

After waiting for a while, Cha Cha Zhecai said softly: "It's not bad." ”

Chen Baoguo smiled bitterly twice silently, and said, "Don't comfort me, it's not that I haven't seen it, it's still a lot worse." ”

Cha Cha Zhe waited for a while before he said: "After all, I am young, and it may be that I have acted a lot on TV, and I haven't grasped the point of the play yet." ”

He was also a little unsure, Lu Yan had no other performance except for one and a half lines before, he just felt that since he was Chen Baoguo's apprentice, his skills in drama should not be too bad.

"Maybe" Chen Baoguo looked at Lu Yan who was performing on stage, and his voice was low.

Although it was a rehearsal, everything was the same as the main performance, and even if something went wrong in the middle, it would not stop.

After four or five acts, Lu Yan also saw that the enthusiasm of the other actors in the crew was not high, and it was expected, after all, the show was going to stop, and no matter how hard he worked, it would be useless.

At around twelve o'clock, the rehearsal was finally completed, and the curtain was pulled down in the sound of the national anthem.

Lu Yan is quite satisfied with his performance, although he hasn't performed for so long, he still feels like it.

It's just that Chen Baoguo's sudden appearance in the background is like a basin of cold water poured on his head, or the kind that is cold from his head to the soles of his feet.

"What did I tell you, this is not acting on TV, this is a drama, a drama, see for yourself what you play for me, ah?" Chen Baoguo angrily pushed open the door of the dressing room, and reprimanded Lu Yan who was removing his makeup.

Lu Yan was a little overwhelmed by Chen Baoguo's arrival and anger, stopped removing his makeup, stood up, and stood aside with an embarrassed expression, this was the first time he saw Chen Baoguo angry.

There is no hysteria, but it is like a dynamite package that has reached a critical point, and it only takes a little spark to explode.

The makeup artist stood aside in a daze, she knew Chen Baoguo, knew that this was an old-timer in the drama industry, but she didn't know what the relationship between Chen Baoguo and Lu Yan was, and she didn't leave for a while, nor did she stay.

Lu Yan opened his mouth and said, "I.." ”

"What are you, do you take my words as a deaf ear, how many times have you said it, drama is the art of the stage, film and television performance is the art of the camera, how do you do it? Ah, tell me, who taught you that? ”

Tian Qinxin stood at the door of the dressing room and didn't speak, she knew the relationship between Chen Baoguo and Lu Yan.

According to the rules, not to mention that Chen Baoguo taught his apprentices, even punches and kicks, she can't say anything, she is not familiar with Chen Baoguo, in the final analysis, she is just an outsider.

Cha Cha Zhe heard Chen Baoguo's scolding outside, walked to the door of the dressing room in three steps and two steps, took Chen Baoguo's arm and said, "Baoguo, what are you doing here?" If there is anything you can't say well, Xiao Yan also got the script only the day before yesterday, and he may not be familiar with it. ”

Turning his head, he said to the makeup artist next to him who was at a loss, "You go out first." ”

The "good" makeup artist also saw that Chen Baoguo and Lu Yan had a great relationship, otherwise the director would not have dissuaded him, nodded and trotted out of the dressing room.

Lu Yan finally realized the problem at this time, because he was still a little nervous when he was on stage for the first time, and he forgot all about Chen Baoguo's teaching, habitually, he regarded it as filming, if he was on the set, there was no problem with his performance, but it was just that he was acting in a drama, just like Chen Baoguo said, these are two different forms of artistic expression.

After being silent for a while, he lowered his head and said, "I will correct it." ”

Chen Baoguo's anger at this time also disappeared a lot, he was very dissatisfied with Lu Yan's performance, but he would never be so angry, the anger was more for Cha Cha Zhe, he gave Cha Cha Zhe to let Lu Yan star in a play, but Lu Yan didn't give him a fight, if he blindly protected his apprentice, Cha Cha Zhe would inevitably have no ideas.

Chen Baoguo said: "Raise your head", looked directly into his eyes, stretched out his finger and pointed at him and said, "Then I will wait for your correction." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to Cha Cha Zhe and said: "Lao Cha, I still have something to do, so I'll go back first, don't be polite to me, if this kid is still so good in the future, he should be beaten and scolded, and if something happens, I will count it as mine." ”

Cha Cha Zhe smiled bitterly, didn't answer his words, but said, "I'll send you." ”

When Cha Cha Zhe spoke, Chen Baoguo had already walked out of the dressing room and didn't look at Lu Yan.

Cha Cha Zhe turned his head, stretched out his hand and patted Lu Yan's shoulder, and said: "Don't take it to heart, your teacher is the kind of person who takes performance as his life, you are his only apprentice, he has high expectations for you, wait for this time The anger is gone, go and accompany him, I have been in line for so long, and I am tired, let's rest for a while."

After saying that, Cha Cha Zhe chased him out.

Lu Yan was stunned for a while, and it wasn't until Tian Qinxin came in that he came back to his senses and said, "Director? ”

He hoped to get some hints from Tian Qinxin, he knew that there was something wrong with his performance, but he didn't know what the problem was.
