From the second day, Xu Zhen participated in the rehearsal of "Hamlet".

At the beginning of May, the Haitang Theatre Troupe undertook the task of teaching and performing in the education system, and will carry out a week-long teaching tour for high school students in Beijing, and the repertoire of the performance is "Hamlet".

Due to the large number of performances, all actors who are qualified in rehearsals can get the opportunity to take the stage.

For this reason, Xu Zhen specially submitted a long-term leave slip to the school, skipping all the evening self-study in the next two weeks.

A few days later, he quickly discovered that the rehearsal of the drama was too different from the filming of the film and television drama.

The daily expenses of the TV drama crew are very large, and the first consideration is the shooting efficiency.

Generally, there are no huge mistakes, such as laughter, forgetting words, and wigs blocking eyes, and the director will not ask the actors to reshoot.

But drama is different.

If you don't pronounce a word properly, or if you don't look at it, you'll be stopped and start over.

The daily rehearsals are like tapes, repeated and revised repeatedly, and Xu Zhen feels that he has not had as many NGs in the past two years as he has in the past few days.

Moreover, Teacher Shen Danqing's temper is very anxious, and some actors do not perform well, they will really be scolded by her, scolded over and over again, and scolded to the point of doubting life.

Xu Zhen's comprehension is not bad, and he has not angered Mr. Shen, but he also feels like walking on thin ice and trembling when he listens to others being scolded on the sidelines, and when he performs.

While Xu Zhen was feeling the pressure, the other actors in the crew actually felt more pressure than him.

In just a few days, these people witnessed Xu Zhen's stage performance skills from youth to skill, and emotional savings from lack to abundance.

Xu Zhen was not a layman in acting, but after a few days, when he gradually figured out the doorway, the level of performance improved rapidly day by day, and soon reached a pretty good level.

Among them, the most stressful is the actor of Hamlet.

The actor's name is Han Chunming, and he is a B-role actor in Hamlet.

The teaching performance was mainly based on B and C actors, and Han Chunming didn't feel that he was incompetent.

But since Xu Zhen came, he suddenly felt that he was about to be overwhelmed. The number of scoldings is increasing day by day, especially when playing against Xu Zhen.

- Xu Zhen is obviously not at the level of the second line.

His performances may not be mature enough, not refined enough, not staging enough, but they are spiritual enough, like Claudius enough.

His ruthlessness and aggressiveness make people in the play, but they feel the real pressure, which makes it easy for Han Chunming to be unable to catch his play as soon as he relaxes a little.

"Take a 10-minute break!"

In the audience, director Gao Yunshen applauded, gathered the actors and said: "Start again from the third act, let's be here today!" ”

When the actors heard this, they hurriedly found a place to adjust their state, and tried to pick up their last trace of spirit.

Gao Yunshen opened his notebook and simply recorded the results of the rehearsal.

He doesn't know what the mood of the actors is, anyway, Gao Yunsheng has been in a good mood recently.

Although there are many actors involved in "Hamlet", there are only two characters at the core: Prince Hamlet and King Claudius.

The queen is a thoughtless slut, and Ophelia is an innocent vase.

Gao Yunshen has refused to rank "Hamlet" for the past two years, and the core reason is because he can't find a suitable Claudius.

Unexpectedly, when he was about to retire, when he decided to give it a go, good or bad, God gave him a good king.

Xu Zhen's performance gave him a big surprise.

His acting skills are not superb, and his acting is not skilled, but his super high perception is enough to make up for it.

No matter what Gao Yunshen asks or what kind of effect he wants to achieve, Xu Zhen can achieve it almost perfectly, and it is a pleasure to work with such an actor.

"Gao Dao!"

Shortly after the rehearsal on the stage began, a staff member suddenly ran in from outside in a hurry, leaned into Gao Yunshan's ear and whispered: "Director Gao, the president asked me to inform you that the theater festival preparation team has sent someone over, saying that they want to come to the stage to have a look." ”

Gao Yunshen was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "The preparatory team of the Beijing Theater Festival?" Who led the team? ”

The staff said: "The team led by Team Leader Yao." ”

Gao Yunshen frowned slightly when he heard this.

Team Leader Yao, who is the person in charge of the preparatory team of the theater festival, seems to be a bad person!

Gao Yunshen hesitated slightly, so he had to put down what he was doing, and hurriedly followed the staff out of the theater.

……

Gao Yunshen walked halfway and ran into a group of people head-on.

The president of his own house is leading seven or eight people towards the theater, and the leader is indeed Yao Group of the Theater Festival Preparation Group.

As soon as Team Leader Yao saw Gao Yunshen, he immediately stepped forward quickly, held his hand and said with a smile: "Director Gao, long time no see!" Why did you come here in person? ”

Gao Yunshen's smile was vigilant, and he asked, "Is Team Leader Yao here to inspect our new drama this time?" ”

Team Leader Yao nodded calmly and said, "Yes." ”

"In order to ensure the quality of the drama festival, we must go around the repertoire reported by each troupe in advance."

The group chatted while walking, and Team Leader Yao smiled and complimented: "Director Gao is also a frequent visitor to our theater festival." ”

"In the first two years, several avant-garde dramas submitted by your side have achieved good results, why did I hear that your side is "Hamlet" this time?"

"Why do you suddenly remember to flip the classics?

Of course, Gao Yunshen heard the doubts in his words, but he didn't let it go at all, and said resolutely: "Team Leader Yao, I have been writing this script for more than three years, and I really want to arrange "Hamlet". ”

"If you want to watch a pioneer drama, I'll wait for the next rehearsal, and this time give me a chance to rehearse the classics."

Team Leader Yao smiled, didn't answer directly, and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll take a look at your rehearsal first." ”

When Gao Yunshen heard this, he said with some embarrassment: "Our play has only been scheduled for more than a week, and the cast has not been completely finalized......"

Team Leader Yao interrupted: "It's okay, I'll go listen to Director Gao's script first." ”

Seeing that the other party had said everything about this, Gao Yunshen couldn't stop it, so he smiled helplessly and led them towards the theater.

……

When Gao Yunshen returned to the theater, the performance on stage had already reached the fourth act.

Everyone on the sidelines saw that a stranger was coming, and they were accompanied by the president and Gao Dao, and they were all a little nervous at first glance.

Rehearsals on stage are progressing to Act IV, Scene 1.

Hamlet accidentally kills his fiancée Ophelia's father, Porones, and hides the other's body.

The minister came to ask Hamlet for the body, but Hamlet made a crazy remark of "you are a tool man", and the minister frowned frequently.

Team Leader Yao sat on the sidelines and watched for a while, then nodded secretly.

Seeing Gao Yunshen blocking him in every way just now, he thought that the performance in the theater must be very bad.

But now that I look at it, the standard is still quite good.

Haitang Drama Club is currently one of the best private drama clubs in China.

This "excellence" is not mainly reflected in the actor's ability to act, but in the director's ability to teach.

Let's say the stage right now.

Let's not talk about the acting skills of the actor who plays Hamlet, but the style of the whole scene is very distinct and unified, and the whole stage looks harmonious and natural.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many crews in "Hamlet" this year. Team leader Yao really hopes that this play of the Begonia Drama Club can be performed as a participating play in the drama festival.

But it's a pity that the Mandarin side also lined up a youth version of "Hamlet" this year.

Whether it is the level of the actors or the investment in all aspects, the theater with the national prefix must be much stronger than the Begonia Drama Society.

For the same play, it is impossible for the audience to watch it twice. Then there will be a trade-off.

As he was thinking this, he saw a tall, thin young man come from behind the curtain to the front of the stage.

Team Leader Yao judged through the plot. He played the role of King Claudius.

After seeing the young man's appearance, Team Leader Yao felt that his eyes lit up. I was about to praise two sentences, but suddenly I realized that this person seemed to look familiar.

"Xu Zhen?" Team Leader Yao looked at Gao Yunshen on the side with some surprise.

Director Gao nodded with a smile and said in a low voice, "Yes, Xu Zhen." “

Team Leader Yao was a little surprised.

He knew that there were often some famous actors who would come to the Begonia Drama Club to gain experience, and it was not surprising that Xu Zhen was here, but he didn't expect Director Gao to give him such an important role as King Claudius.

I don't know how the little star's acting skills are on stage, Team Leader Yao suddenly became interested in this play.

……

"What a dangerous thing it is to let this guy mess around! But I can't inflict severe punishment on him. ”

On the stage, Xu Zhen recited Claudius's lines with a gloomy face, and said, "The people love their prince so much. ”

"They like a man, with eyes alone, not reason. If I punish him, they will only see the harshness of my punishment, but they will not consider what kind of felony he has committed. ”

With a sarcastic smile on the corner of Xu Zhen's mouth, he said, "Oh, those stupid people." ”

After reading these lines, Team Leader Yao's back unconsciously left the back of the chair.

- The standard is quite high.

In terms of the performance of this paragraph alone, Xu Zhen's performance level is even higher than that of the young actors on the Mandarin side.

As soon as this idea arose, Team Leader Yao was first shocked-could it be that Xu Zhen, a film and television actor, could the level of a film and television actor be higher than that of a regular actor in Chinese painting?

But soon, he was relieved again.

Come to think of it.

The Mandarin side is also participating in their young actors.

Most of these people are like Xu Zhen, students of Chinese opera. At most, he was a few grades higher than him.

He went to school for a few years more than Xu Zhen, but he lost a few years of practical experience.

It is indeed difficult to tell which is better or worse.

After looking at it for a while, Team Leader Yao actually had a judgment in his heart.

Claudius on Begonia's side is stronger, but Hamlet is not as good as Mandarin's side.

So in general, the Mandarin version should still be retained.

Although Xu Zhen is unable to participate in the theater festival in Beijing because of this, he has a long way to go, and I hope that this actor will continue to be interested in drama performances in the future!

Thinking like this, Team Leader Yao leaned back back into his seat and quietly enjoyed the next performance.

……

At this point, at the back of the stage.

Han Chunming, the actor of Hamlet, is hiding behind the curtain, and he is nervous.

He just heard from the staff that the guests off the stage were most likely people sent by the Beijing Theater Festival.

He had heard that there might be more than one troupe of Hamlet at this festival, and only one would stay in the end.

You're not going to see it today, are you?

Han Chunming didn't want to grow the morale of others and destroy his own prestige, but ...... I'm the B corner!

You can't judge the level of our troupe based on my performance!

Seeing that the monologue of the king on the stage was about to end, and then it was Hamlet's turn to take the stage, Han Chunming's nervous palms were full of sweat.

Even he thinks so, let alone others.

Ophelia, Leotis and other characters take a look at Team Leader Yao's side. looked at Xu Zhen on the stage again, wishing that Xu Zhen could act better and give the head of the troupe face, but at the same time, he was afraid that Han Chunming, who would come up for a while, would not be able to catch his play, and his mood was very complicated.

"Poof! Poof! ”

At this moment, Han Chunming suddenly heard a strange sound from someone beside him.

When he looked back, he saw Meng Yifan wearing a dark blue overalls, standing behind him with a gray face, and said in a low voice: "Brother, lend me your clothes, and I'll do it for you!" ”

Han Chunming couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"What are you kidding?"

Han Chunming said angrily: "Your version is different from ours, do you go up and talk to Xu Zhenbiao in English?" ”

"Who do you look down on?" Meng Yifan muttered, "Can't you memorize the Chinese version when I can?" ”

"I come to the theater to sweep the floor 4 times a day, and with just your two lines, I have memorized the melons in the morning!"

Han Chunming snorted coldly twice, still unmoved.

He admitted that Meng Yifan's performance level was indeed higher than his own, but it was not that world-wide high.

I have been rehearsing this play for more than two weeks, and Meng Yifan has not rehearsed on stage once.

He didn't think that by pushing the other party up in such a hurry, he would be able to act better than himself.

Just when the two were at a stalemate, on stage, Xu Zhen's monologue had ended.

What follows is that two guards escort Hamlet to the king, and the two get into an argument.

Han Chunming waved his hand at Meng Yifan impatiently, and said, "Stay aside, it's none of your business." ”

As he spoke, he covered his nose in disgust and said with disdain: "What kind of smell does this smell on your body?" Hell, stay away from me! ”

Meng Yifan: "......"

What does it smell like, isn't it the taste of working people?

How can you despise working people?!

While speaking, the two guards had already come to the side of the stage, intending to press Han Chunming onto the stage.

However, at this moment, before Han Chunming could walk out from behind the curtain, a figure suddenly jumped up from the stage and said loudly: "You don't need to be charged, I will leave by myself!" ”

As he spoke, the man walked across from Xu Zhen with his head held high, stopping at the left three meters in front of him.

"Ah......h

At this moment, everyone in the audience saw this person's appearance and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

At the same time, Han Chunming and Meng Yifan behind the curtain, and Gao Yunshen under the stage showed shocked expressions at the same time.

Song Yu......

It's Song Yu!

How did he end up here?

Why did he suddenly appear on stage?!

Song Yu, who suddenly appeared, was like a steel knife that cut Han Chunming's tense heartstrings.

He couldn't help but reach out and cover his mouth, his eyes were red, and he almost burst into tears.

Why did Senior Brother Song come back?

Oh, my God......

It's just in time to come back!
