Chapter 5: Flirting from Blossoms
In the next day, Zhang Shaogang and Tian Yu were both in place, and the actors gathered.
The host Zhang Shaogang's face is full of the spirit of "the pride of the sky" and the frivolity of youth.
Tian Yu, a professional drama actor, is low-key, introverted, and lacks self-confidence.
It's no wonder that he doesn't perform much in the theater and earns a meager income.
I made a movie last year, but I only saw it filmed, I didn't see it, I didn't make any money, and I was at a low point in my life.
Looking at the two faces, thinking of the ups and downs of the two of them in the future, Zhou Yi felt that this world was really wonderful.
"Can you ask a question", Zhang Shaogang pulled Zhou Yi and Mi Xinghe to a place where no one was, "Why did you choose me?" I'm not handsome, and I can't act. ”
Zhou Yi slapped his ass irresponsibly: "What we value is not your acting skills, but fame."
"You're a celebrity, you're popular, you're thriving, you're teaching in schools, and you're sought after by students; Hosted on TV and sought after by fans. It's great to be able to achieve this level of a popular law program, and many people in our drama club are your fans.
"And we agreed that you would be half the sky in the future. Your arrival has given this drama an extra façade, an additional guarantee for success, and a strong and invisible appeal.
"I'm young and can't speak, so you won't be angry if I'm so 'utilitarian', right?"
Angry? Zhang Shaogang was about to float up: "No, no, no, honestly, it's really ......"
Mi Xinghe was secretly funny: Zhou Yi, this guy used "can't speak" to fool people again.
……
……
"Charlotte's Troubles" is officially launched.
Mi Xinghe places orders, makes props, watches theaters, runs approvals, and operates ticketing in advance.
Zhou Yi took the actors to read the script.
The so-called "reading the script" is to bring together the actors, directors, screenwriters and others of the drama to read the dialogue of the script according to the role. The purpose is to meet ideas, clarify the character and character relationships over and over again, and help actors understand the characters and deal with the plot.
The more you read it, the more you find "Charlotte's Troubles" interesting, and the more you read it, the more confident you are in this drama, and the more you admire Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi's understanding and description of the characters are all "high-definition uncensored", what each character should look like, what words should be said, and what facial expressions should be engraved in his mind.
Of course, I've watched several versions of the drama, how many times have I pulled the "pull piece", of course, high-definition uncensored.
It took a week to read the script intermittently and achieve the desired effect.
During this period, the "gold master" Hua Ping was the same as before and after, in front of everyone, he behaved like a professional senior sister and rehearsed the play seriously.
But in private, something is getting more and more wrong, his eyes are full of Zhou Yi, and his actions are becoming more and more "over-outline".
Sometimes he pinched Zhou Yi's face affectionately with two hands behind his back; Sometimes rubbing Zhou Yi's hair ambiguously;
Sometimes he patted Zhou Yi's biceps with adoration; even touched Zhou Yi's thigh excessively......
Zhou Yi is a person from the past, what don't you understand?
The heart is itchy, too. However, the coal boss sent a female assistant to "take care" of Huaping, not to mention not leaving an inch, and not to leave too far.
She is like a surveillance, and Zhou Yi doesn't dare to play with fire under her nose.
After reading the script, the rehearsal stage begins.
First of all, there is a rough arrangement of "building shelves", there is no scenery, and the props are only some simple tables and chairs.
The first scene of the opening scene is the wedding scene, a group portrait scene, which introduces the background of the story through the perspective of "Charlotte" and introduces the important characters in the whole play.
Zhou Yi first told everyone about the play: "This scene is the most difficult and the most important. This is the first meeting of "Charlotte's Troubles" with the audience. Love it or not, can you make the audience fall in love at first sight, just watch this scene, and you must leave a perfect first impression.
"You imagine the first scene of the teahouse, and the curtain is also a group portrait, diners, guys, officials, and people who ask for food...... There are so many people, why don't they look messy at all, but they are very comfortable?
Because everyone is in the role, Wang Lifa always greets him with a smile, reflecting the eight-sided exquisiteness of the teahouse owner;
"Chang Siye sat there, his chest was always pulled high, and he was upright and upright;
Second Master Song bowed his waist slightly, reflecting that he was timid and cautious.
"There are many other little characters, everyone has flesh and blood, their sitting posture, their eyes, and even the posture of drinking tea and eating, all closely fit the identity of the character.
"This is an example to remind everyone that when they go on stage, everyone must always remember who they are.
"What the character's personality looks like, what he likes to say, and what small actions he likes to do, you must always keep in mind.
"In short, whether you are sitting or standing, whether you are happy or angry, you must let the characters 'live' naturally on the stage, really listen, see and feel, and the small characters are full, so that this play can really stand.
"The first scene is Qiuya's wedding. Senior Sister Hua, you and the fat man are standing over there, from now on, you are newlyweds......
"Fatty, don't suck your stomach, you are an old and fat, pig-like dead fat man in the play, and when you officially perform, you will be made old and ugly.
"Senior sister, you can be a little more dusty. Since you are a person who is willing to marry a pig for money, you can't be too reserved.
"Shaogang, Lao Xia, Lao Song, a few of you sit down at that table. Old Song, don't be so obscene, you are Yuan Hua, the son of the district chief, no matter how evil you are in your heart, you still have a shelf on the surface.
"Lao Xia, you are in good shape, the characters are the most accurate, you have to keep it! To play Da Chun is to perform this kind of lack of heart.
"Shaogang is also in good shape, he has grasped the characteristics of 'Teacher Wang', and it would be better if he could owe a little more beating. Also, your expression gives people a sense of trust, which does not match Mr. Wang, and needs to be adjusted.
"Long face, you are playing a sissy, you can occasionally peek at Song Yuanming, perform the feeling of crush, let go of acting, you know, later Yuan Hua was sick and you are a 'behind-the-scenes hero', and you are indispensable.
"Meng Xiyang, in this scene, and even in the whole play, the two core people are me and you, remember our relationship, we have been husband and wife for many years, so you have to spread the act, don't be shy, your eyes should be full of disappointment with me, disgust with Qiuya. When you chase me with a knife, it should be a natural reaction to your emotional breakdown......"
"Let's go through the play first. Lighting, props...... Oh, no, then listen to my commands, each in place, three, two, one, start! ”
Xia Luo played by Zhou Yi appeared: "I am Xia Luo, I am very annoying now, I have always hidden a person in my heart, her name is Qiu Ya ......"
After the first rehearsal, Zhou Yi was generally satisfied, and everyone's performance was good. Meng Xiyang especially surprised Zhou Yi, and the Ma Dongmei she played was no worse than Ma Li in the previous life.
It's no wonder that the future actress will be able to control such a role.
Of course, there are some problems: Zhang Shaogang has no acting experience and has not established a sense of belief in the role. It's okay when he performs by himself, but when others are performing, he plays and becomes an audience, watching others perform, and he doesn't "live" in his own role.
Blossom also has some minor problems, but they are not big problems, but they just have to readjust to the stage.
Zhou Yi summarized and commented, overall praise, general encouragement, individual reminders, detailed details, and personal demonstration.
At this time, everyone realized that Zhou Yi's strength and level were unattainable, far from the Zhou Yi in their impression.
The second time continued, the rehearsal effect was better, Zhang Shaogang's progress was especially great, and Hua Ping also fully adapted to the stage.
Then came the third time, and all the baggage rang out.
At 8 p.m., work was called.
Zhou Yi summed up his speech, praised everyone, and finally asked everyone to go home and think about the second scene in private, and rehearse tomorrow.
Everyone left, but Hua Ping didn't leave, and casually turned off a few headlights in the rehearsal hall, leaving only the middle two.
The lights dimmed suddenly, and Hua Ping walked towards Zhou Yi with a smile, looking at Zhou Yi ambiguously with her electricity, desire, yearning, demand, and teasing eyes.
Zhou Yi's heart moved, and she subconsciously looked out the window, but the female assistant assigned to her by the coal boss was not there, and no one was watching......
