Chapter 262: Five-Heart Hotel
accompanied my mother to chatter about homely things, and chatted for more than half an hour.
When I ended the call, I didn't feel that my homesickness had eased, but I felt more homesick. Walking down the street, you can clearly feel that the north. There are a lot fewer people in the capital, and the New Year is coming soon. The wanderers in Beijing have returned to their hometowns for reunion one after another.
Xu Hao read a newspaper. Dao, the north of the New Year. Beijing is like an empty city, which is the biggest difference from the usual bustling and prosperous.
All walks of life are in a great depression, but the industries of movies, dramas, and cross talk are particularly lively.
Especially for dramas, a ticket is about 100 cheap, and 3 or 400 is expensive. During the Chinese New Year, you should be very generous, dragging your family into the theater and the theater. This is especially true of the atmosphere in the capital.
Xu Hao originally planned to take Huaxia off and let her go back to her hometown for the New Year, anyway, she was alone and couldn't starve to death.
However, Hua Xia refused, in addition to the reason that she wanted to "watch Xiàn better", it was more that her hometown was too remote, it was a mountainous area in Jiangxi Province, and it took half a day to walk on the mountain road alone. She asked about the house, there had just been a heavy snowfall over there, and it might snow again during the New Year, so it was very inconvenient to get in and out.
I didn't go back, anyway, there were many people in her family, and I didn't care about her.
Xu Hao didn't bother to persuade her, he likes to leave all the chores to Hua Xia to do, and he is a hands-off shopkeeper, Hua Xia is gone, and he is really not used to it.
After eating, in the north. Jing wandered around blindly, and returned to the dormitory at night, deserted.
Xu Hao had no choice but to use porridge on the phone to relieve his loneliness, he called Zhao Ziqing, chatted with Zhao Ziqing about astronomy and geography, and also talked about each other's recent situation.
After Zhao Ziqing returned to her hometown, with her father's relationship, she successfully entered the broadcast studio of the street office in her hometown and became an announcer, responsible for facing a block every day. Thinking of the various policies of the government and the party, how our city is today, and what will be the whole country tomorrow.
Maybe life is much more boring than before, and it is not as complicated as Hengdian. Zhao Ziqing is still trying to adapt to such a life.
I don't know if I left Hengdian and became myself again, Zhao Ziqing is much more cheerful and laughs a lot than before. On the phone. It's finally not like before, I don't like to hurt Xu Hao a few words.
Xu Hao couldn't figure out what the current relationship between him and Zhao Ziqing was.
said that it was boyfriend and girlfriend, it was obviously incorrect, and he had never been in a relationship at all; said that it was a friendship, and confessed their hearts to each other, saying that they would be together in the future.
Perhaps S.H.E has a song title that is more suitable to describe this state.
"Lovers are not enough."
……
After the New Year, "The Adventures of Tang Seng on a Blind Date" began to be rehearsed publicly, that is, during the rehearsal. Audience members, many of whom are local journalists, are allowed to come and watch, and the public rehearsal is not only to prepare for the audience, but also to promote and warm up for the upcoming show.
Therefore, this rehearsal was very important, and director Li Mingchuan repeatedly explained, so that the actors could perform with ten percent enthusiasm, the boss of the Westbound Wind Drama Club. He also personally attended the scene, and as long as the public rehearsal effect was good, everyone was invited to a big dinner in the evening.
Xu Hao is the male protagonist and the soul of the whole drama. A lot of comedy laughs have to be driven by him.
It is impossible to say that there is no pressure, and since the morning, Xu Hao has been a little nervous. Fortunately, after more than half a year of training, he has become accustomed to performing various performances in front of others, a drama used for rehearsals. It couldn't shake his faith yet.
And the public rehearsal is only a part of the rehearsal.
"Tang Seng Blind Date Adventure" has a total of ten scenes, with a total duration of one hour and forty minutes. The public rehearsals were the third and seventh scenes.
The third scene is a costume change scene, that is, the four Tang monks and apprentices decided not to learn from the scriptures, but instead went on a blind date to marry a wife, and began to dress up.
Standing on the stage, looking at the sparse audience sitting under the stage, as well as many reporters with cameras, Xu Hao and the other three actors, put aside their nervousness, brewed good feelings, and prepared for rehearsals. The behind-the-scenes crew of the set and lighting are also ready to cooperate.
The lights come on, the background music plays, and the rehearsal officially begins.
Four people, Xu Hao is wearing a robe and holding a Zen stick, Sun Wukong is wearing a leather suit and playing with a golden hoop stick, Sha Wujing is honestly carrying luggage, and Zhu Bajie is wearing a pig's nose and pig ears, and a nine-toothed nail rake is dragging on the ground.
Step to the rhythm of the music and walk slowly.
Xu Hao stood up and said with emotion: "This way, the difficulties of ninety-nine eighty-one can be said to be vivid, and it is difficult to describe them. ”
"Master, the daughter country is the forty-second difficulty, and the eighty-first difficulty has not yet reached that number." Sun Wukong interjected.
"Alas, you monkey, don't you know that being a teacher is a rhetorical device?" Xu Hao looked at Sun Wukong with a look of hatred, "Besides, the ninety-nine eighty-one difficulty is clearly written in "Journey to the West", is it still wrong." As a teacher, I naturally know that my daughter is only forty-two difficult, and I just grabbed a advance amount. ”
Hearing this, Sha Wujing nodded very approvingly: "Senior brother, Master is right. ”
Xu Hao and the others were not funny, but with their exaggerated expressions, they still succeeded in causing the first laugh.
I don't know who in the audience sent it out.
Anyway, this laughter made Xu Hao and a few people more energetic in rehearsals.
Zhu Bajie shouted loudly: "Hey, you don't care if it's eighty-one or forty-two difficult, I am willing to plant on this difficulty, it's best to carry it for a lifetime." Along the way, it was a monster and a demon king, and he escaped death several times, which frightened the baby. Master, you said that is not the truth? ”
Sha Wujing nodded solemnly: "Master, the second senior brother is right. ”
Sun Wukong grabbed the white: "Idiot, isn't there my old grandson to protect you, how many demons and monsters are called it, and it will be wiped out with a stick." ”
Xu Hao had his hands right and made an Amitabha Buddha: "Wukong, don't you know, now prices are rising sharply, and the meat that was a teacher back then was a dime a bag, but now it has long been sold out, and there is no market." Even Bajie's meat is rising in price every day, and the monsters along the way are the same as cats that smell fishy. Two fists are hard to beat four hands. ”
This old stalk, combined with Xu Hao's expression of concern for the safety of the world, once again made many viewers laugh.
Playing stalks, not only to have new ideas, but also to have someone to pick up someone to pick up, one to pick up one to one, how old the stalk, can play tricks, make people laugh.
Several people were on the stage, babbling about the suffering of Journey to the West, complaining about all kinds of stalks, and successfully driving the atmosphere of the whole scene.
As soon as the atmosphere was hot, the laughter increased, and Xu Hao became even more energetic.
"Now thanks to the national policy, the monk can also get married, thinking about the teacher, this way to eat and sleep in the open, the monster backstage is stronger than the other, you can't kill it, and you have to be afraid not to be eaten, it really violates the word fairness. When I arrived in this daughter country, I realized that the Buddha had good intentions, and the previous hardships were all for the blessings of today, and it was better to marry a wife than to learn from the scriptures! ”
Sha Wujing once again teasingly continued: "Senior brother, second senior brother, what the master said is right." ”
"Hahahaha."
In the audience, he laughed again.
……
The public rehearsal was quite successful, Journey to the West is a well-known story, and the various jokes based on this theme can always make the audience quickly grasp and laugh heartily. And the actors' hard-working performances are extremely skillful, and they bring the story to life.
Xu Hao, who acted in a drama for the first time, didn't realize that he was very talented in comedy, not just a simple imitation.
This is a contrasting comedy, Xu Hao can always use a serious performance, coupled with occasional exaggerated moves, to form a completely different differentiation and create laughter. may also be doing slings for too long, there is no kind of mental baggage of putting on a shelf, and the down-to-earth spirit is very skillful.
As an actor born from Hengpiao, Xu Hao is not reserved as a professional actor at all.
After the public rehearsal, Xu Hao and others received unanimous applause from the audience, which made director Li Mingchuan very excited, and when he faced the reporter's interview, he stammered excitedly.
Xu Hao, who had changed into a suit, was also stopped by a reporter for an interview, and he was the starring actor of this drama.
A reporter asked: "As a newcomer, is there a lot of pressure on you to play the leading role in a drama?" ”
Xu Hao nodded: "The pressure is great." ”
"What do you think is the highlight of this drama?"
"The laughter of "Tang Seng Blind Date Adventure" is very dense, basically there will be two or three in an average minute, it can be said that there is no place for people to doze off, it is an urban comedy technique to be set into "Journey to the West", a subversion and reinvention of tradition."
Another reporter asked: "Hello Xu Hao, I like your acting style very much, do you study drama performance professionally?" ”
"I am an actor, and I have studied film and television dramas and dramas."
Another reporter asked another aspect: "If you can't go home for the New Year, will you be homesick?" ”
"Of course, but it's still very meaningful to be able to bring laughter to more people during the Chinese New Year."
There are not many reporters who came to the scene, so there are not many questions to ask, and Xu Hao also has too much news value, a rookie actor, just ask routinely. Most of the reporters still went to interview director Li Mingchuan. In this way, there was an interview time of about ten minutes, some photos were taken, and the reporters were gone.
Although the audience and reporters left, the atmosphere in the theater did not cool down, and the crew members who had arranged the public rehearsal all set their sights on the boss of the Westbound Wind Drama Club.
The boss was not stingy, and waved his hand: "Let's go, go to the restaurant to add food, five-star!" ”
"The boss is wise." Everyone slapped their ass.
But when I took the car to the hotel, I realized that it was not a five-star at all. It's just an ordinary restaurant, and the sign at the door reads "Five Hearts" home-cooked restaurant.
Everyone who found out that they were pitted unanimously condemned the boss, and finally forced the boss to sign a treaty, and when "Tang Seng Blind Date Adventure" is released, they must take everyone to a five-star hotel for a big meal. (To be continued.) )
