At the rehearsal the next day, Xia Luo, played by Zhou Yi, honestly "borrowed" to kiss Qiu Ya played by Hua Ping.

When you are frank and unrestrained, you can come to the truth, but when you hide treachery in your heart, you must avoid suspicion and cover up.

Hua Ping looked forward to the "discussion" with Zhou Yi, but she couldn't find a chance to continue for many days. Because the female assistant arranged by the coal boss is back, she is watching and monitoring from the ground.

Rehearsals for "Charlotte's Troubles" went smoothly. Zhou Yi is not only the leading actor, but also the screenwriter and director, and also directs the lantern service.

In terms of performance, the emotions are in place and full of layers; In terms of rhythm, precise control is flexible; The most rare thing is to be comfortable and relaxed.

When instructing everyone to rehearse, there was neither a loud reprimand nor a serious correction, but the rehearsal was promoted with joy and joy, and the rehearsal atmosphere was quite good, and the occasional laughter could make a stalk.

Of course, hard work is inevitable. The daily rehearsals start after lunch and continue until late at night, and at the latest are still rehearsing at two or three o'clock in the morning.

Half a month later, "Charlotte's Troubles" has been rehearsed twice and carefully, and the rehearsal effect is quite good, to the extent that it can be rehearsed with makeup.

This afternoon was rehearsing, and Mi Xinghe came in with a spring breeze on his face, and brought a tall man with gray hair.

Several people at the scene recognized him, "Isn't this Zhao Shanhe, the director of the Qianzhou People's Theater?" ”

The drama circle is not big, and everyone knows the celebrities in the industry.

Zhou Yi also knew that there were many intersections in the previous life. There are two biggest impressions of him, one is that he is obsessed with the drama "Teahouse", and he can't hear anyone say anything bad about "Teahouse".

The second is stubbornness, conformism, and resolutely opposition to drama reform.

In the past ten years, many domestic drama clubs have been declining, with no rice and no audience. In order to attract audiences, drama groups actively helped themselves and explored reforms, some created avant-garde dramas, and some rehearsed foreign classic dramas, but the results were not satisfactory.

During this period, director Zhao Shanhe played a stubborn conservative, he wrote articles in newspapers, criticizing the drama reform as a waste of the good things left by his ancestors, irresponsible and shoddy production, and strongly advocated meticulous craftsmanship and the discharge of fine products, which would naturally attract the audience to the theater.

Over time, as a professional drama director, he did not have many works; However, as a literary critic, he has become an expert and scholar who defends and cherishes drama. talked eloquently in many drama forums, and even gave guest lectures at film and television academies and drama theaters.

Zhou Yi generally recognized his character, but opposed his views.

Zhou Yi believes that reform may not be successful, and failure to reform is a dead end. Even a classic work like "Teahouse" cannot meet the changes in the public's aesthetics.

What did Mi Xinghe do when he invited Zhao Shanhe over at this time? Directing rehearsals?

The question is, will he be able to accept a work like Charlotte's Troubles?

Suspend!

"Come on, come on", Mi Xinghe applauded vigorously and called everyone together:

"This one, everyone must know each other, right? Mr. Zhao Shanhe, the famous director of Qianzhou Drama Theater and visiting professor of the School of Drama, let us welcome Mr. Zhao with warm applause to take time out of his busy schedule to come and guide. ”

Everyone applauded warmly, and Zhou Yi also applauded. People are seniors, and basic politeness is still required.

Mi Xinghe continued: "Mr. Zhao is very busy, and he is taking the actors to rehearse the drama "Gujing Neighborhood", I went to invite him several times, but he didn't have time to come over for guidance.

"Last time, I sent the script of "Charlotte's Troubles" to me, and after reading the script, he called me and promised to come and see everyone, discuss the script with you, and discuss the future of the play. Zhou Yi, come here. ”

Mi Xinghe called Zhou Yi out of the crowd and introduced to Zhao Shanhe: "Sir, he is the Zhou Yi I mentioned to you, "Charlotte's Troubles" was written by him, if it weren't for him, this drama club would have closed down." ”

"Hehe", Zhao Shanhe looked Zhou Yi up and down, "You are Zhou Yi?" ”

"Yes, Professor."

"You wrote Charlotte's Troubles?"

"Yes, please criticize the professor more."

"Not bad", Zhao Shanhe nodded slightly, "I can see that there are a lot of ideas and imagination." It is still very good for a young person to write such a work, and it is worth encouraging. ”

"Thank you, Professor, for the compliment."

"Don't worry about thanking you first", Zhao Shanhe waved his hand solemnly, "I didn't come to praise you, but to remind you that rehearsing dramas has a long cycle, low returns, and high costs, and I'm afraid that you will fall into the pit." ”

"Yo yo yo, thank you even more. Why don't you sit down in the next room and give us a chance to learn face-to-face. ”

Zhou Yi gave him face very much, and it was rare to put on a modest low posture.

Everyone gathered around Zhao Shanhe and sat down in the conference room next door, Zhou Yi, Meng Xiyang, Hua Ping, as well as Xia Shangzhou, Song Yuanming and others all went to get paper and pencils, waiting to take notes like primary school students.

Mi Xinghe went to make a cup of tea and brought it over.

Zhao Shanhe is old and very pretentious. pressed the tea leaves with the lid of the teacup, blew it, took a sip, and glanced at everyone: "Then I'll just say a few words?" ”

"You say what you say."

"Okay. Let's start with myself, in terms of age, I should be older than everyone's parents

"In terms of qualifications, I am an old drama, starting from 'poking a big gun' (note: running a trick) on the drama stage, and I have been working for decades, although I have not achieved anything, at least I have saved a stomach of experience and lessons.

"So, I won't be polite to everyone, rely on the old and sell the old, and try to give you some suggestions on the script."

Zhao Shanhe politely said a few opening remarks, and Zhou Yi faintly felt that a large wave of criticism was about to be killed.

Zhao Shanhe coughed lightly: "I won't say anything about praise, I can't run if I don't say the advantages, and I can't get good if I don't talk about the problems." Actors, the more exaggerated, the more inflated, the more impetuous, this is not good. When an actor listens less to praise and more advice, only in this way can he grow up quickly and make more progress. ”

Zhao Shanhe paved the way first. Zhou Yi beat a drum in his heart, and when he said something, he knew that he was here to criticize. How could someone as stubborn as him accept a work like "Charlotte's Troubles"?

But then again, it's not a bad thing that he doesn't accept it. He doesn't accept it, and the box office may not be good; If he accepts it, or even praises it, I'm afraid that the box office will not be good.

"Professor Zhao, you're welcome, your criticism is the nutrition of our growth and the ladder of progress, just say it."

"The attitude is not bad", Zhao Shanhe nodded with satisfaction, "Then I will think of where to go." First of all, literary and artistic works all pay attention to one and three closenesses, that is, close to life, close to reality, and close to the masses. What is Charlotte Troubles close to?

Secondly, even primary school students must have a central idea and core idea when writing essays, what is the idea of "Charlotte's Troubles"?

"The male protagonist 'crosses' - not to mention whether the crossing is reasonable, the whole drama must give people a little inspiration, right?

"Even if it's not inspiring, at least give people a little bit of positive guidance, right? But what about this show? Neither before nor after the crossing has any positive significance.

"Before crossing, I didn't want to make progress, I relied on my wife to support me, and I disliked my wife; After crossing, he abandoned his wife and married Banhua, but he spent all day and wine outside, and he didn't cherish it.

"Pretend to be generous to a frustrated rival, but ignore old friends and ex-wives. Well, in the end, I finally remembered the benefits of my ex-wife, but I never thought of making any compensation, but I wanted to exchange money for half-truths.

"What makes me feel like a fish in my throat is that after experiencing a series of things such as plagiarism, my wife's cheating, and HIV/AIDS, I thought I had to sublimate it in the end, but no, the drama ended like this, what is this? What's the idea?

"So looking at it throughout, there is a huge problem of value orientation in this drama, and the 'three closeness' must not be "pasted", but the "paste" of the three vulgarities, vulgar, vulgar, and kitsch! You say, "Am I right?" ”
