Chapter 3: Screwing
The blue and white trolleybus swayed through the city, and these days the sand and dust in Beiping City have suddenly increased, and the streets are full of girls wrapped in scarves and headscarves.
"Are you fighting the Republic of China?"
With a hair wax on his head, a gray cloth robe, cloth shoes with a thousand layers of soles, and a folding fan in his hand, Jiang Xun became the focus as soon as he got on the tram.
It's February, a normal person, who is shaking the folding fan on a February day? Who runs around the streets in a kaftan? I also beat the hair to the bottom!
"The lad is an actor?" The driver was very vigilant, and he looked at the young man through the reflector, and the young man did not behave abnormally.
"It's not." Jiang Xun replied honestly, it's really not, he's just a student.
Wow –
Originally, the tram was crowded with people standing, but suddenly, Jiang Xun's surroundings became empty, and the eyes of the crowd were afraid that he would run out of Huilongguan Hospital, right?
Yes, there was a vacant seat, and he tried to give up his seat to Aunt Yi, but Aunt said that he would not come to sit down, so he had to sit down by himself.
"Which unit is the young man, do your leaders know that you are dressed like this?" I also knew that I would give up my seat, and it seemed that he was a normal person, and the driver asked tentatively.
"Yes."
"I don't care, this leader is also ......," the driver muttered.
Jiang Xun no longer answered, these days he has become accustomed to such a gaze, just for the first floor in the world, for Tang Maochang!
It is very, very difficult for an actor to encounter a good play, a good role, and a role that can take root in the hearts of the audience, even if it is only one or two.
He doesn't know what the result will be today, but he knows that this must be his last chance, and in a week, it is estimated that the list of actors has already been decided.
Today, nothing can be said to allow this character to slip through his hands!
Jiang Xun lifted his shirt and got out of the car.
In the wind, the sand is full of the sky, and the cheongsam is flying......
……
In the office of director Renyi Xia Chun, the young actors in the courtyard are standing in a room, and they are all here to fight for roles like Jiang Xun.
There are so many excellent actors in the hospital, and Director Xia feels embarrassed for the first time because of the excellent actors.
In fact, his list has been largely decided, and whoever plays which role is pretended in his heart.
As for Jiang Xun, he had already left it behind, at that time, he just felt that the young man was good-looking, but his age and experience did not match Tang Maochang, but he felt that this child was particularly self-motivated and bold.
As for playing a role in this heavy Beijing-style drama, Xia Chun didn't consider Jiang Xun at all, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child with insufficient experience, and even more immature stage performances, there are so many good actors, and many young actors in the theater can't take their turns, not to mention that he is still just a student in the cadet class, a freshman student.
"Hello, may I ask, is Director Xia here?"
Just when everyone crossed the sea and showed their magical powers, a knock on the door made everyone turn their heads.
"Come in."
These young actors have been "noisy" in their offices since they first went to work, and Director Xia's head is big, he lowered his head and pressed his temples and closed his eyes.
"Hello, Director Xia."
With another greeting, Director Xia Chun slowly raised his head, oh, he slowly stood up from behind his desk.
This long shirt was the bright moon breeze in the pine forest, which made him relax instantly.
The gray dark flower robe reveals an innate nobility, a good son of the Republic of China who is in the wind.
With so many people looking at him, Jiang Xun was not very comfortable, and in front of everyone's eyes, he twisted his face out of the window.
This is quiet and slightly elegant, which is much more expensive than Tang Maochang in the play, full of bookishness, but this temperament is not very suitable for this role.
Director Xia Chun recognized Jiang Xun coming, but as soon as he turned his head, there were more people inside and outside the office, this young man in a long shirt attracted many onlookers in the courtyard, and most of them were lesbians.
"Let's go to the little rehearsal hall." Seeing that there was no longer anyone standing in the office, there was no way, Director Xia Chun could only find a spacious place, "Sit down." ”
In the small rehearsal hall, he glanced at Jiang Xun, he took off his long shirt and sat on the stool, this coat is like a long body, this posture is styled, well, it has the taste of the Republic of China......
This kid is smart!
Director Xia understands that he wants to generate a character to be played in himself, yes, not to act, but to become this person, to become Tang Maochang, and to become the eldest young master of the Fujude family of the Republic of China Tang Maochang!
"You came here wearing this on purpose?"
"Yes, the hair wax is really fragrant, and the bottom of this thousand layers is stained with a layer of soil......"
The young actors seemed to feel threatened, but where could a little student threaten, they made fun of Jiang Xun easily.
Director Xia Chun didn't speak, he still stared at Jiang Xun, Jiang Xun stood up with his front placket, this posture and this action, he is the young master of the Republic of China, this style is very natural, not the kind of temporary borrowing a suit to come over to please.
Yes, yes, ingenuity can never be matched by nature!
"Are you a student in Class 87 of the Chinese Opera Performance Department?" Director Xia Chun looked at Jiang Xun, the young man stood and sat in a sitting position, which was really good.
He wants to ask this kid carefully now, and he can't talk about the role, he just wants to ask him and get to know him.
But at this time, the people from the hospital office came over and said that Mr. Cao Yu was here and was also interested in this play.
In fact, a few days ago, he followed Dean He Jiping to Mr. Cao Yu's house, and Dean Cao Yu attaches great importance to this play, and the selection of actors is also subject to his approval.
Seeing Director Xia leave, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to come back for a while, and the young actors left one after another.
"Young man, you're really good at what you do, what's the matter? It seems that I also have to get a pair of sunglasses and a flag, on which is written to ask divination and fortune telling...... "The young actor doesn't recognize his life, so he came up and took the fan in Jiang Xun's hand and fiddled with it."
"I, too, have to get a bottle of hair wax, a whole horse coat, I have to learn hard from this junior brother......" The other also laughed, but he changed his words, "But, you, you really dare to think about it......"
Oh? Jiang Xun looked up at him.
"I mean, don't think that if you wear such a dress, you can play a role, Renyi never engages in these gimmicks!"
Gimmick!
The one who wanted to play the fortune teller had already started to walk out, and when he heard this, he turned around again, "Do you know, who is set to play Tang Maochang in the courtyard?" Teacher Xiu Zongdi, have you taught you class 87? ”
Xiu Zongdi, Jiang Xun is very familiar, he is a veteran actor of Renyi, and he also taught them the lessons of the Stanley system.
Yes, the student ran into the teacher, and now he has hit the stubble.
"Young man, you're only a freshman this year, I'll tell you again, you graduated from Chinese opera and entered Renyi, first of all, you have to start by playing tricks, Renyi is called poking a big pole...... "The fortune teller hates iron and steel.
The other immediately answered, "This poke is as short as three years, as long as five years, and then from no lines, to one or two lines, to more than a dozen lines, this is called a groove...... You didn't even enter the slot, what kind of drama are you playing! ”
The two of them stopped looking at him and left on their own.
Jiang Xun knows this rule.
But it's all here, Jiang Xun doesn't want to go back like this, this week's long shirt and cloth shoes can't be worn in vain.
When Director Xia Chun and Deputy Director Gu Wei came back, it was almost noon, and he thought that there was no one in the small rehearsal hall anymore, and it had been more than three hours, but when he turned his head, the young man in a long robe was standing in front of the window, very leisurely.
Oh, Director Xia Chun's heart moved, this kind of unhurried and impatient temperament is already difficult to find in young actors!
"Look, Dean Cao Yu is here, this delay is three hours," Director Xia Chun beckoned Jiang Xun over, and he looked at the young man in front of him kindly, "You want to play Tang Maochang, what do you think of this character?" ”
There is a door!
The director asked about the role, but Jiang Xun didn't answer immediately, he thought for a while before saying, "Tang Maochang, I feel like it's just two words, twist!" ”
Screwed?
Director Xia Chun became interested all of a sudden, he wanted money and wealth, power and power, and status, how could a big young master screw his head?
"You know, this eldest young master Tang Maochang is the eldest son of the old shopkeeper of Fujude Roast Duck Shop, but he has no intention of operating and inheriting the ancestral business, and only loves ticket theater and soaking in the garden all day long.
Jiang Xun glanced at Director Xia, and his face was calm.
"But in my opinion, this Tang Maochang is so interesting, both annoying and likable, and there are many such people in life.
Some people say that he is a loser, regardless of the family's industry, does not want to make progress, and loves to play. I don't think so from Tang Maochang's point of view, there is nothing wrong with people having their own hobbies, and there is nothing wrong with pursuing their own passions.
It's a pity that Tang Maochang was born without this fate, and he is always one step away from coming to power. ”
"Oh," Director Xia Chun smiled, "You mean, a young shopkeeper should run his ancestral business well, but he loves ticket plays." ”
"Yes, he wants to become a corner, but he wants to take back his ancestral business, but it's not the material that does business, his life label is just two words, twisted!"
Director Xia Chun didn't speak, and nodded after a while.
He looked at Jiang Xun like this, and even forgot to drink the water, "What's your name?" River......? "There were so many people the day before yesterday that he didn't even remember the young man's name.
Now, he really didn't expect that a freshman student class would summarize Tang Maochang's character so well, and the young man and Mr. Cao Yu would want to go together.
Although Cao Yu did not comment on Tang Maochang's twisting, what he said was "contradiction!" ”
Isn't it the same as a contradiction?
Mr. Cao Yu is a signboard and master of the Chinese theater industry, the dean of human arts, and the vice president of Chinese opera!
"It's noon, you can eat here today." Director Xia Chun actually got up to pour water for Jiang Xun, and Jiang Xun hurriedly took the thermos.
Director Xia Chun didn't insist, well, he was really more and more satisfied with Jiang Xun, but Jiang Xun hadn't played a role on the stage, or he hadn't run a few times, yes, isn't there still Peking Opera?
"Interesting, this person is a twisted ......" Director Xia Chun smiled, as if he breathed a sigh of relief, "What's the matter, you are a student, a freshman student, you have to play a formal role, Tang Maochang is a big man in the play, you have to sing a matchmaker in the role, do you feel like you are twisted?" ”
Before Jiang Xun could answer, he smiled and said, "Let's have a paragraph, the part called Zhang Sheng in the matchmaker." ”
Jiang Xun cleared his throat, his eyes were on the fact that Dean So Zhi had come in at some point, and was standing quietly on the side, looking at him quietly.
