At noon on Wednesday, Xu Zhen received a notice from Shen Danqing: At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Begonia Drama Club would convene a meeting of all the actors of "Hamlet" and ask him to come over early in the afternoon.

Xu Zhen only had two classes in the afternoon, and after class, he hurried to the theater to prevent accidents such as traffic jams.

Hu Zhiyong, who was in charge of receiving him last time, took the initiative to greet him at the door of the theater this time, and while leading Xu Zhen to the theater, he introduced him to many things that he didn't talk about last time, and his attitude was very kind.

The sudden enthusiasm made Xu Zhen feel quite uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Hu Zhiyong didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "Relax, you are now the 'celebrity' of our Begonia Drama Club." ”

"Those foreign guests who came two days ago had dinner with the leaders of our drama club last night, and they were about to praise you."

"The president personally explained to me that I must serve you well, and I can't slack off at all."

Xu Zhen smiled awkwardly and said, "The president praised it falsely, I wasn't the only one who was acting downstairs that day." ”

"Oh, you said Meng Yifan ......" Hu Zhiyong rolled his eyes and said, "Don't pay attention to that mallet." ”

"Seven dissatisfied, eight unhappy all day long, sweeping the floor can't clean his stinky temper, the president said, let him go to the toilet in the future!"

Xu Zhen: "......"

This sounds like a very flavorful arrangement......

As they spoke, the two of them passed through the hall in front of the main entrance and began to walk towards the theater inside.

When walking through a long corridor, Xu Zhen caught a glimpse of many stills hanging on the walls on both sides, and couldn't help but take a few more looks.

However, at this glance, a still on the left-hand wall caught his attention:

The overall color of the stills is gray-blue, and the surrounding smoke is thick.

In the lower right corner of the photo, a man in a red military uniform is walking towards the stage, becoming the only bright color in the picture.

Looking at this back, Xu Zhen recognized at a glance that this was his senior brother Song Yu.

And, this is not the first time he has seen this still-

When the Danxin Drama Club of the Chinese Opera recruited new students, this photo was printed on the promotional poster.

Xu Zhen stopped and asked Hu Zhiyong on the side, "Brother Yong, which drama are you still from?" ”

Hu Zhiyong turned his head to look at it, saw this poster, and said with a nostalgic face: "Ah, this, ah......"

"This is a play co-arranged by the Begonia Drama Club and Chinese Opera at that time, called "Male and Female".

"Our drama club excavated Song Yu through this drama, and then cultivated him all the way to the position of the pillar."

Xu Zhen: ......?

Listening to the name of this play, how does it feel a little unpleasant?

Hu Zhiyong sighed: "Xiao Song was really powerful back then. ”

"Usually so unorthodox, after taking the stage, it was like a different person, and suddenly became a 'corner'."

Xu Zhen asked tentatively, "What role is Senior Brother Song playing in this play?" ”

Hu Zhiyong said: "He plays two roles, playing the male protagonist Charles and the male protagonist's twin sister Shirley. ”

"The masculinity of men and the softness of women have been vividly interpreted by him, and he also won the Best Newcomer Award at the Beijing Theater Festival that year."

Saying that, Hu Zhiyong couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Alas, it's a pity. Why can't Xiao Song think about it, so he has to go to the film and television industry? ”

"A person with a performative personality like him is born to live on the stage, not be confined to the screen!"

After saying this, he suddenly remembered that Xu Zhen was also a person in the film and television industry, and hurriedly made up for it: "Of course, everyone has their own aspirations, and he wants to enjoy more people's pursuit and be affirmed by more people, which is understandable." ”

"Oh, by the way, Xiao Xu, you are now in a brokerage company with Song Yu, right?"

Xu Zhen opened his mouth and nodded silently.

- Solved the case!

No wonder he filmed a leaflet for the drama club to Song Yu, but the other party refused to say what the name of the drama was.

It was originally called ...... Cough...... The name is more unique.

But then again, what's so embarrassing to say?

It's an art show, not grandstanding.

What's more, the work that has won a blockbuster award should be proud.

Xu Zhen listened to Hu Zhiyong praise Song Yu as he walked, and said that he won the Best Actor Award at the Youth Theater Festival for "Macbeth"; He won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Beijing International Theater Festival for "Jing Ke Thorn Qin", and the Academy Award for Best Performance for "Dust...... Wait a minute.

The former pillar of the Begonia Drama Club is still remembered by the employees here.

This made Xu Zhen both admire and envy.

Senior Brother Song's family background is average, he is not a child star, his appearance conditions can only be regarded as middle and upper-middle, and he has never made any news out of the circle.

Obviously, it doesn't seem to have a good card, but why can people be signed away by Dongyue Film and Television with a top contract just after graduation, and they can play the male lead in their first work?

——The strength is there, and people are worthy of it.

Xu Zhen suddenly regretted at this time, he debuted too early, and he didn't have the opportunity to polish on the drama stage for a few years like Senior Brother Song.

However, everyone has their own path, and there is not necessarily one better or the worst.

Now that you have come to this point, don't be afraid, don't question, and strive to seize every opportunity to perform and constantly improve your strength, this is what you should do.

Thinking like this, Xu Zhen took out his mobile phone, took a still of "Macbeth" and sent it to Song Yu, saying, "Awesome, senior brother!" ”

"Dingding!"

Soon, the reply from the other side was sent back.

Xu Zhen picked it up and took a look, only to see Song Yu said: "Everyone else only went to the wall after a hundred years, and I was hung on the first floor when I was less than 30 years old." ”

"Look, what's it called? Living legends! ”

Xu Zhen: "......"

Then should I set up a shrine for you and chant the sutras day and night?

Before he could say a few words, Song Yu's second message came over again, saying, "Are you in the Begonia Theater?" Why did you go, watching a movie or filming? ”

Xu Zhen then briefly explained the whole story of how he came here to rub the stage.

Song Yu replied: "Damn, "Hamlet" again? ”

"When I was there, I held on and refused to line up, but when I left, version after version, English and Chinese came in turn, and I was angry!"

Xu Zhen asked, "Why didn't you row it back then?" ”

Song Yu sent a vicissitudes of life and said, "I was originally going to arrange it, but then there was an accident." ”

"I won't say the specific name, anyway, it's probably the 'ticket friend' Tai Chi who plays the king, day by day, this thing and that, acting skills again, disgusting to watch, and I can't get it, and in the end, the troupe simply stopped arranging in a fit of anger."

"Later, when the man left, I persuaded the director to continue the rehearsal, and he told me that the script was stained with and had to be burned and rewritten."

"As a result, I didn't finish writing until I left."

"Alas, these artists ...... Served! ”

"Mental cleanliness to this, no temper!"

Xu Zhen couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he looked at these words.

The two chatted briefly, and Hu Zhiyong had already led Xu Zhen to the theater.

Xu Zhen pushed the door and saw that on the stage, several young men and women were holding the script and wearing regular clothes for a simple rehearsal.

After listening to a few lines, he knew that they were rehearsing the first scene of the second act of Hamlet.

In order not to disturb the actors on stage, Xu Zhen walked lightly into the theater and found a corner to sit under the leadership of Hu Zhiyong.

Director Gao Yunshen saw someone coming in, and subconsciously glanced over there, and was slightly stunned.

- Hey, this is the actor Xu Zhen, who has become famous recently?

Looking at his face, he is a very kind young man.

But coincidentally, the role he was going to play was actually King Claudes......

Gao Yunshen couldn't help frowning slightly.

Hey, I hope the "young master" who came this time can be more decent, at least don't block me!
