99.Chapter 99: A Lonely Night

Barry Mueller's argument made Director Shen a little speechless, although such a few simple words could not affect the outcome of this negotiation, but it would shake the position within the Film Bureau, and I don't know what the outcome of the next negotiation will be. 【Reading.com】

"Why hasn't there been a good actor in China in recent years?" This question made Director Shen also very confused.

Looking at Director Shen sitting next to him but absent-mindedly, the tall and strong Barry Mueller also said in a strong tone through the translation:

"Director Shen, I heard that the next show is performed by people from the best film academy in China, why don't we use this to prove which of the two of us has the right opinion?"

Director Shen was stunned for a moment, frowned and didn't answer, he couldn't hear that Barry Mueller was taking the opportunity to increase the bargaining chips again, but he still knew what level the students of the film academy were......

Compared with performers of the same age in other countries, the students of China Film Academy are too pediatric......

Director Shen could only laugh noncommittally and replied, "Let's watch the show." ”

In fact, he had informed Secretary Yu of Renyi in advance and hoped that they would pay attention to this performance, but Secretary Yu's reply told him not to have any hope, so Director Shen could only let Barry Mueller tease him.

Backstage at this time.

Gu Xiaofan didn't know that his performance had become more important, he just closed his eyes and waited for the various staff members to adjust the lighting and sound.

He let out a soft breath and heard the echo of his headphones to make sure the instrument was out of order.

"Don't be nervous, be focused." Teacher Yan instructed with some unease.

Gu Xiaofan nodded, he was also very strange in his heart, this time there was not even a decent rehearsal, and it was far from being fully prepared for the performance in the morning.

I don't know why, he doesn't have the apprehension of the last time at all, and he doesn't seem to worry about anything about this performance.

He also felt strange in his heart, the only reason why he could be so calm was that he acted himself.

"Gu Xiaofan's turn for you~"

The staff shouted, Gu Xiaofan first turned his head and glanced at the military fan who was checking the equipment, and Liu made an "ok" gesture before walking to the front desk.

Teacher Yan in the background and all the behind-the-scenes experts of Renyi and the General Political Department were all apprehensive.

It's too hasty to dare to perform in front of foreign guests in a new program that was compiled in the afternoon......

"Teacher Yan, do you think Gu Xiaofan can act well this time?" Lou Yixiao asked nervously.

"It doesn't matter if you don't act well or not, as long as you can go on stage, it's also a valuable experience." Teacher Yan's face was full of seriousness and he didn't answer directly, but everyone knew that he was not optimistic about Gu Xiaofan's hasty entry into battle this time.

Lou Yixiao's palms were soaked nervously, and she silently thought in her heart, you must persevere~ Gu Xiaofan......

Gu Xiaofan stood on the stage, the lights were still so dim, but this time he could see the faces of the audience below.

Although the performance on stage is wonderful, for these people, I am afraid it is a bit cookie-cutter......

Many of them were dozing off, many of them were bored, and many of them were anxiously looking at their watches, thinking of knowing when this theatrical performance would end......

With expressions of impatience, helplessness, and disappointment on their faces, not many of them looked at the stage, because they didn't believe that a student of Yanying had anything to look forward to when he brought a musical called "Beijing Beijing".

Gu Xiaofan took a deep breath, and he repeatedly asked a question in the afternoon-"What can I do in my life that can impress others?" ”

He didn't have the sincere love that Mr. Yan and Dr. Lin experienced, nor did he have any deeds to be proud of, let alone experience life and death.

The only thing he deserves to show others seems to be one thing - loneliness.

The loneliness in my heart for so many years.

He felt the light slowly turn on, slowly shining on his body, not very bright, but it made him step into another world again.

This time he didn't have the passionate power that came from this stage, but a glimmer of light slowly rose from the depths of his heart.

He calmed down and went back to the day he had left home a few years earlier......

That day he was cheated out of all his savings by a friend he knew, and he used up his last dollar, and he was kicked out of the rental house.

At night, he was carrying his luggage, it was raining in the sky, and he walked alone on the street, not knowing where to go......

It was a seemingly boring performance, far less lively than the tap dance of the previous show.

But the scene immediately became quiet, and everyone's eyes unconsciously looked at Gu Xiaofan, who was walking slowly on the stage.

Who would have thought that it was obviously a musical, and the beginning turned out to be a pure pantomime performance~?

His heavy steps, his tired expression, and his desperate eyes were all so full of life......

It's as if it's a real thing happening right in front of you, and people forget about this performance.

Such a lonely and depressed person on stage made it impossible for the audience to doze off or talk and laugh anymore.

Director Shen, who was originally in a mood, was also slightly stunned, and then sat up straight, he seemed to clearly feel that the atmosphere of the audience became different as soon as this performer appeared on the stage.

Gu Xiaofan, who was tired of walking, squatted on the side of the road, holding his stomach with his hands, looking in a direction with longing in his eyes, sliding slowly, and then swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

There were no other actors on the stage except him, but the audience seemed to see a person holding bread walking in front of Gu Xiaofan's eyes......

Suddenly he covered his hair with his hands, shrunk his neck, shivered, looked up helplessly at the sky, and then he took a few steps back, as if leaning against a corner, his feet ducked back, and his eyes looked at the void sad and helpless......

The stage was still silent, but everyone seemed to hear the sound of raindrops on the street.

Gu Xiaofan was still standing at first, but gradually became sitting, and then curled up in the corner......

Looking at a speeding target, he turned sideways to dodge, but there was no room for him to move, so he could only touch his "splashed" trouser leg in pain......

Everyone couldn't help but curse in their hearts, what a damn car!

No sound effects, no props, just a one-man show in the shadows of a messy and dirty neon light, and it makes people seem to see the poor young man in the corner of the city.

The audience has already sounded, "This person is acting so well......" "He's too pitiful." but was quickly ......stopped by the sound of "shh

Both Shen and Barry Müller were already fascinated
