Chapter 22 The virtuous do not avoid relatives
After breakfast, Mr. Zhang still had no intention of taking the three of them to the Shao Opera Troupe.
Director Yang Jie mentioned it a few times, the work of the preparatory team for "Journey to the West" is complicated, although there is assistant director Zhu Xiaofeng in the capital, but she, the person in charge, is not staring, and her heart is still not steady.
The sooner the matter ends here, the sooner they can return to the capital.
If you want to say that you are in a hurry, Gu Bei is even more anxious, it is already Wednesday today, and it is not a few days away from the weekend agreed with Old Man Wang and Smith.
But Mr. Zhang still talked about him left and right, and diverted the conversation, just repeatedly introduced the "son" in front of him.
In this regard, Yang Jie is also helpless, this is really a virtuous person who does not avoid relatives.
But even if Zhang Jinlai is really good, he can't force it!
At the very least, there has to be a comparison!
Maybe there is a more suitable one than him?
But in the face of Mr. Zhang's repeated mentions, Yang Jie couldn't keep pretending to be confused, so she asked about Zhang Jinlai's situation.
Gu Bei was on the side, and it was obvious that Director Yang Jie was not satisfied with Zhang Jinlai.
Since you're playing a monkey, you should always be smart!
But Zhang Jinlai has always given people a very boring feeling since yesterday, and he blushed before he spoke, can such a character play Sun Wukong?
As for the rest......
"He's like...... You're a little taller, aren't you? ”
The old gentleman saw that Director Yang Jie finally focused on Zhang Jinlai's body, and hurriedly said: "It's not high, it's not high, it's not high when you curl up your legs!" ”
As he spoke, he made a demonstration.
Gu Bei looked at it and had to admit that if he was thirty years younger, I am afraid that no one would be more suitable to play the Monkey King than Mr. Zhang.
Seeing that Teacher Zhang worked so hard, Yang Jie was embarrassed to find fault again, and then asked Zhang Jinlai's performance level, this is the key, you can't come out of a monkey opera family, you can play Sun Wukong, okay?
Superstitious authority is unacceptable.
"No problem, Jin Lai has already performed the Monkey King on stage?"
Yang Jie was surprised: "Didn't you say that he was a student before?" ”
"Yes, but his level is good, I teach him by hand, and he usually works hard!"
Seeing that Teacher Zhang packed the tickets again and again, Yang Jie also became interested and began to seriously look at the young man in front of her.
Very quiet, delicate, and feels like a white-faced scholar.
"Teacher Zhang, did you say that he would be able to do those acting skills before?"
"He will, he will!"
The old gentleman became active and immediately asked Zhang Jinlai to perform some monkey movements.
Zhang Jinlai understands his father's thoughts, and he is still very much looking forward to being able to play Sun Wukong in the TV series, but his personality dictates that what he thinks in his heart is not easily exposed.
A few movements are vivid, especially when you turn sideways, shrug your shoulders, open your mouth wide, and blink your eyes again and again, you can see that you usually put in a lot of effort.
It's just that compared to his father, he is still a little less energetic.
Yang Jie thought about it in her heart for a long time, she was born in a monkey opera family, she was young, easy to accept new things, and had stage experience......
"Do you understand what your father said? Another point, without the gong and drum scriptures and the original rules on the stage, can you still perform? ”
This time, Zhang Jinlai didn't use others to answer for him, and said confidently: "Yes!" ”
Yang Jie nodded noncommittally and continued: "What we have to be afraid of next is the TV series, when performing, we can't copy the original things of the opera stage, we have to explore and develop by ourselves, and absorb a lot of other performance skills, but the kung fu of opera is also essential, so you have to learn your father's experience and understanding of Wukong well!" ”
Speaking of this, Yang Jie's meaning was already very clear, and the old man hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "Please rest assured that this is on me." ”
At this point, it seems out of place to ask for someone else.
Yang Jie didn't expect that this time she would come to Shaoxing to do business so smoothly.
Of course, it is not accurate to say that it is smooth, after all, this Monkey King was shoehorned into her.
After the matter was done, Yang Jie wanted to leave for Beijing on the same day, she was not only responsible for the preparation of "Journey to the West", but also responsible for the recording of other opera programs.
Seeing that it is mid-November, and the end of the year is not far away, she wants to focus on "Journey to the West", but she can't let go of the programs she is usually responsible for.
You have to hurry up and prepare all the shows.
However, at this time, Mr. Zhang proposed to introduce an actor who could play Zhu Bajie.
The introduction is not an outsider, it is his brother Qilingtong's son Zhang Jinyuan, who is also a family, his father plays Zhu Bajie, and his son also plays Zhu Bajie.
Yang Jie didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain, if she really came to Shaoxing and solved the selection of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie together, it would be really worth it.
"Is he as good as your Monkey King playing Zhu Bajie?"
The old man was full of guarantees: "No problem, it's very good, how many years have you been acting, the famous Zhu Bajie, the day after tomorrow, there is just a performance, you three will know it in person." ”
It's hard to resist hospitality.
Besides, Sun Wukong has it, and he has to hurry up to choose Zhu Bajie when he goes back, although the time is tight, but it would be good if he could really find a Zhu Bajie by the way.
It's just that......
The day after tomorrow is Friday.
Gu Bei was thinking about his first pot of gold in his heart.
But the leaders all nodded, what could he say.
Alas......
That night, Gu Bei had insomnia.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he felt countless banknotes flying in front of his eyes.
There was nothing to do the next day, Zhang Jinlai accompanied the three of them to visit Shaoxing, it was difficult to get out, and there was nothing important, how could he not relax, not to mention, Wang Chongqiu still had a camera.
The group visited Lu. Mr. Xun's former residence, Baicao Garden, and the famous Xianheng Restaurant......
At this time, Shaoxing is antique, it is really a very distinctive, very cute small city.
But except for Wang Chongqiu, Yang Jie and Gu Bei had no intention of playing, and they always felt a little uneasy in their hearts, as if they had lost something.
Gu Bei is worried about his first pot of gold, if he really misses the big fish of Smith, he doesn't know if there is any place to make up for it.
Yang Jie is because of the Monkey King's candidate, this trip to Shaoxing, did not even enter the door of the Shaoxing Opera Troupe, in case there is a more suitable candidate than Zhang Jinlai, wouldn't it be missed?
Moreover, such a big drama and such an important character are so decided?
Don't even have a choice?
Looking at the young man who had been following her, Yang Jie's heart was really a little vague.
Finally looked forward to Friday, what the three of them didn't expect was that the place of the performance was in another city, dozens of miles away from Shaoxing, but fortunately, Mr. Zhang helped contact a car.
Otherwise......
Legs to go?
Dozens of miles away, even if Zhang Jinyuan was Marshal Tianpeng, he didn't want them to go over to see.
Gu Bei didn't know if there was such a paragraph in the casting of "Journey to the West" in his previous life, but he was sure that the actor who finally played Zhu Bajie was surnamed Ma and was called Dehua.
Like Zhang Jinlai, Zhu Bajie portrayed by Mr. Ma is also a classic screen image that cannot be surpassed in the history of Chinese TV dramas.
Therefore, even if Mr. Zhang also recommended his nephew, after thinking that Director Yang Jie would watch it, he should not like it.
"Too skinny, huh?"
Sitting under the stage, looking at Zhang Jinyuan with Zhu Bajie's outfit on it, Yang Jie frowned subconsciously.
Gu Bei didn't plan to express his opinion, but he couldn't stand the leader and had to ask.
After thinking about it again and again, I just found a fault in terms of body shape.
is indeed too thin, Zhang Jinlai's height problem can still be solved by curling his legs during the performance, what should I do if I am too thin?
Even if you have to wear a fake belly when filming in the future, you can't pick up your own body shape, I'm afraid that after you bring it, it won't look like Zhu Bajie, but it will become a starvation in the old society.
Yang Jie nodded, didn't say anything more, she also felt too thin, and besides, there was nothing particularly brilliant about the play, that is, ...... Decent way.
After the performance, Mr. Zhang couldn't wait to ask Director Yang Jie's opinion.
"I ...... Think about it! ”
didn't say it too much, in case the next casting work didn't go well, I really couldn't pick out the desirable Zhu Bajie, maybe I had to go back to the Zhang family.
However, if Zhang Jinyuan wants to act, he must gain weight, and it is not a matter of a few catties or a dozen catties.
This matter is put aside for the time being, Yang Jie is still concerned about Sun Wukong.
"Teacher Zhang, you and Jin Lai will come to the capital in the New Year, and we will meet at that time, let's talk about it in detail, and take advantage of this time to pass on the real kung fu at the bottom of the box to Jin Lai."
Yang Jie is still a little dissatisfied with Zhang Jinlai, and always feels that Sun Wukong's spirit is a little worse, but who makes his conditions unique.
There is such a monkey show as Mr. Zhang by his side, as long as he is willing to work hard, there is nothing that he can't learn.
"Don't worry, this matter is on me, and I'll see you in the capital in the future, and I'm sure to give you the best grandson monkey."
The old man said so, and Yang Jie could only temporarily let go of her hanging heart, looking forward to Zhang Jinlai being really reborn after the year.
Returning to Shaoxing, the three of them politely declined Mr. Zhang's invitation to "stay for two more days" and took the train to the north on the same day.
It's all the way to "bang", and the five senses are suffering together.
Finally, late on Saturday night, I arrived in the capital.
Wang Chongqiu is like no one, but Gu Bei and Yang Jie are already on the verge of collapse.
"Director Yang, Teacher Wang, see you on Monday."
Taili was quite generous this time, and specially asked the car class to arrange a car to pick them up, and sent Yang Jie and Wang Chongqiu home first.
Yang Jie wanted to say something, but she was really not energetic at the moment, so she finally waved her hand and was helped into the courtyard by Wang Chongqiu.
"Master Liu, you are affected."
After Gu Bei finished speaking, he slumped in his seat, this trip out was really enough to suffer.
Not to mention anything else, Gu Bei couldn't help but dislike the smell on his body alone.
Because they lived in the Zhang family, none of them were embarrassed to ask people to boil water for them to bathe.
In addition, the climate of Shaoxing is warm. Wet, came back and soaked again on the train.
No, as soon as Yang Jie and Wang Chongqiu got out of the car, Master Liu put down the window.
After being a driver for so many years, I almost got motion sickness.
Gu Bei could only show embarrassment and pretend not to see it.
Tomorrow is Sunday.
