[Chapter 32: The Truth] (1) Can't get off the stage
The audition hall for the abridged version of "Fanke" was packed, all of which were insiders, art critics and media circles.
Because of the function of repertoire promotion, after Tang Qingyou discussed with the shadow boy, he specially invited his mentor Zhanhong to give a pre-performance talk, which is equivalent to a half-hour small lecture.
The most special thing about this lecture is that Zhan Hong came to the stage with the elderly image of Mr. Wu, the protagonist of Fanke, wearing Western glasses, wearing a green shirt and robe, with an inscription folding fan in his hand, and an English dictionary on the desk, a good last generation of talents.
On the stage, the old Nanyang arcade stands on the dimly lit street. As soon as Zhan Hong took the stage, his silver hair had a reflective effect under the spotlight, and the dry ice machines on both sides of the stage bubbled and moved, creating a feeling of being in a different world, like a fairyland, like a dream, and the audience couldn't help but be caught in their eyes and listened with bated breath.
After a brief greeting to everyone, Zhan Hong first introduced his relationship with "Fanke": Alexandre Dumas said that Dumas was his best work. Come to think of it, I'm even luckier than Alexandre Dumas, because there are so many good works that I can't pick out the best. This is especially thanks to the profession of teaching, which has allowed me to harvest countless peach and plum in my decades of teaching career. In today's performance, Fei Dong, one of the producers, Tang Qingyou, producer, and Ying Gongzi, the artistic director, are all my students, if you ask me, who is better among them, I really can't answer; At the same time, I am also as pleased as everyone else, these outstanding young literary and artistic talents, did not choose to play their own games, but from beginning to end are trying all kinds of cooperation, excellent people and excellent people together, learn from each other's strengths, what kind of sparks are encountered, what kind of fruits are produced, we will all see a prototype on this stage tonight......
There is a special pre-performance talk, which allows the audience to understand the creative process of the play and the relevant cultural and historical background, and also adds a lot to the audition itself.
The audience was clearly satisfied.
hesitated to refuse the audience to shoot the formal performance, and there was no clear restriction on the pre-performance talk, so during the half hour of the pre-performance talk, many viewers took their mobile phones and worked hard to draw and edit various text and pictures and send them to various online platforms, just like a self-media live broadcast.
Looking at the publicity effect on the scene, the abridged version of "Fanke" has been half successful.
The meticulousness from creation to production, coupled with the fact that the entire starring team is too strong, and there is no little fresh meat to hold back, during the performance, the audience can't even see a single one who goes to the toilet. Another small half of the success.
Seeing that victory was in sight, there was a big problem in the last link.
As the producer, Tang Qingyou was invited to come forward for a curtain call. Curtain call, isn't it just a matter of bowing. But it was this bending over that Tang Qingyou had a big deal.
Of course, the first thing that must be said is that the bow in the curtain call of the stage play is never perfunctory.
As the highest-level main creator of the curtain call that day, Tang Qingyou was the last to bow on stage that night, and together with dozens of leading actors, the main creators collectively bowed for three rounds before completing the curtain call.
At this time, applause and whistles flew in unison.
At this time, the dignified and elegant hostesses came out with bouquets of flowers and presented flowers to the leading actors.
As the highest and most prestigious artist of the day, Maestro Pruss's bouquet is unusual, a particularly large one, and it is all red roses.
Then, in front of everyone's eyes, Pruss turned around and knelt down on one knee in front of Tang Qingyou: "DearYolanda, marryme, pls!"
Under the illumination of the stage lights, the red roses were so bright that they were bewitching, and Tang Qingyou's eyes hurt.
She stood on the spot with her legs as if they had been filled with lead, completely stunned.
No matter how Tang Qingyou strategized, she couldn't have imagined that the reason why Prus desperately pushed her to come to the stage was to be in the same frame with her, and the purpose of being in the same frame with her was to ask the people in the hall to testify about this.
The applause, which had just begun to weaken, suddenly surged, and the cheers of the audience almost demolished the Qiao Drama Center: "Marry him!" Marry him! ”
It's human nature to make noise. On the big stage presented in front of the audience, this scene of handsome guys and beautiful women sprinkling dog food, the protagonists are two influential celebrities in the circle, how can it not make people think about it?
While cheering, the audience composed various versions of transnational love for such a beautiful scene in front of them.
What's more, the audience of this session are professional groups and the media.
After being a Chinese for decades and hearing people say that they "can't get off the stage" for half their lives, it was only at this moment that they truly understood the breadth and profundity of Chinese.
Tang Qingyou really wants to die on stage.
Her mind was racing, and thoughts flashed through her mind almost in a second.
After receiving the bouquet, the first performance of the abridged version of "Fanke" can end perfectly, but it is very likely that the next day, the streets and alleys, inside and outside the circle, are all gossip news about her and Prus...... She will become a typical representative of the arts management textbook, the producer personally went into battle to create scandals and box office......
If she doesn't accept this bouquet, it's hard to guarantee that she will still become a scandal case in the circle. Moreover, at this moment, she is frozen at this juncture - if she doesn't take this bouquet of flowers, the conductor doesn't get up, the audience is still coaxing and waiting, and this curtain call is not over.
She must make it clear to this stupid big conductor, that's right, she likes this big conductor a lot, and is overwhelmed by his talent and demeanor, but at most she just treats him as an idol, she really doesn't have a "non-dividing thought"!
She wants to cry without tears, is this big pot of dog blood in front of her want her to never be reborn?
She gritted her teeth and read it 10,000 times in her heart: really, really, only artistic admiration, no emotional admiration!
In the eyes of the audience, Tang Qingyou, who was already crying, was moved. As a result, everyone applauded and applauded even more, and the actors who did not know the truth also joined the queue of agitation, consciously lined up into a figure-eight, and vacated the position in the middle of the stage to the two great artists to show their affection.
The cheers and whistles on and off the stage, mixed with the rumbling applause, converged into the most shocking symphony since the opening of the Qiao Drama Center.
Tang Qingyou's scalp tingled for a while, and he took the flowers with trembling hands.
The commander showed an innocent smile on his face, slowly stood up, and looked at Tang Qingyou affectionately.
The two-meter-tall conductor and Tang Qingyou, who is close to one meter seven, form the Qiao version of the "cutest height difference".
The applause at the scene was no longer scattered, and was carried out in a common rhythm. Everyone shouted in unison, "Kissher!" KissHer!”
At this time, Zou Jianfeng had just run into the control room, panting and directing Dong Li: "Curtain!" Hurry up and close it! Don't stand stupidly, hurry up! ”
On the stage, the conductor supported Tang Qingyou's small waist, and was planning to live up to expectations.
Tang Qing quickly grabbed his arm, dragged him to face the audience, and bowed 90 degrees to the parents one by one.
There seemed to be a high-pitched and long voice in his ears: "Second worship high hall!" ”
Tang Qingyou really wants to say goodbye to this full house of food and clothing parents at this moment!
Until the curtain was completely closed, Tang Qing let out a long breath, straightened up, stuffed the bouquet in his arms back into Prus's hand, and said, "I'm sorry!" I can't accept it! He left the stage with a black face.
Tang Qingyou was full of thoughts about how to suppress the first round of propaganda that was very likely to deviate, while Pruss trotted all the way over with a puzzled face.
Pruss was really confused, why could Tang Qingyou put on two different attitudes and make completely opposite decisions in a few seconds? Of course he had to ask if he didn't understand, so the giant poodle followed Tang Qingyou all the way.
Tang Qingyou saw that others had followed, and thought that sooner or later he would give someone an explanation, so it was better to solve it immediately, so he took Prus to find a quiet place, determined to make it clear.
Tang Qingyou said that she repeatedly told Prous that they were just friends with each other, and she only liked Pruth idols, but had no love.
But Pruss said, "I love you." And I can feel that you love me, but you haven't realized it yet. You see, I said you should go on stage, and you studied and practiced hard for my sake until you got back on stage. ”
Doesn't sound like anything wrong...... Tang Qingyou laughed more ugly than crying: "I think there is a serious cultural difference between the East and the West between us. What you think, and what I think, really don't matter. For example, you live in Europe and I live in China, and you will not give up your professional status in the European classical music industry for me, and I will not give up my newly developed acting career in China for you. ”
"No, no, no......" Pruss flatly denied, "those who love each other should be together, two people love each other, there will always be one person who gives more, and one person who pays less." If you are not willing to give up your acting career in China, I can give up my European title and position, it is not a problem perfectly! If you don't want to leave China, I will leave Europe and come to China to accompany you. I love you, and I will love China too! Trust me! ”
Tang Qingyou was really about to cry: "I'm talking about ...... example"
Pruss continued to open those big deep blue and clear eyes, and confessed deeply: "Dear Yolanda, I can completely understand your concern! Rest assured, I am capable of creating my second pinnacle in China! I will also do my best to continue to help you develop your career and fulfill your dreams! ”
Only then did Tang Qingyou realize that he had already been successfully led astray by Pruss in this conversation, so he quickly sorted out his thoughts and grasped the key point: "Mr. Pruss, I think you probably misunderstood, and the misunderstanding was very deep. I have a fiancé! As he spoke, he raised his hand and shook the pink diamond ring.
Pruss was stunned for a moment and smiled: "You lied to me!" Your ring is on your middle finger, and you're not engaged. Moreover, I've known you for so long, I've never seen you have any fiancé or boyfriend, so many partners in the crew, everyone has worked together for so long, and I haven't heard anyone say you're engaged! I see, are you blaming me for not preparing diamonds and not being sincere enough to propose? I'm sorry, but that's because I didn't think I would be able to make up my mind to propose to you before I came to China, so I wasn't prepared. Our family has a pair of sapphire rings handed down from the time of the Augustan Empire, as a husband and wife token for each family successor, can our wedding be held in Europe? When the time comes, I will put on the sapphire ring of the mistress to you, and my whole family will bless us! ”
