Chapter 76
76 Chapter 76 insufficient
There were not many stage play actors. In a limited time and space, the story had to be presented to the audience completely, so the actors ‘lines and expressions were more demanding.
When Chang Yuhu was halfway through the performance, the theater staff came over to ask her for her opinion. She first affirmed the actor’s performance, praised it, and then pointed out the shortcomings.
“This time, the theater has put in a lot of effort to arrange this play. The actors ‘performance is also very good, and the plot basically follows the original work, pursuing the principle of only deleting and not changing. The female lead Yu Chun’s scenes are very important, and the Enlightenment of her relationship with Wei Liansheng almost affected the direction of this play. After the adaptation, the supporting roles in the play didn’t change, either experienced or unscrupulous, and the actor’s lines were also good, but the emotional scene between Yu Chun and Lian Sheng was too weak, not enough to pave the way for Lian Sheng’s final ‘awakening’. ”
With every word she said, the theater staff nodded and kept her opinion in mind.
After Chang Yuhu spoke for a while, he turned to look at Jiang se.
“Since it’s just a rehearsal, you should go on stage and try out the role of the second child beggar.”
The theater staff obviously did not expect Chang Yuhu to make such a request. In a daze, Chang Yuhu turned to look at the staff member and said with a smile, ”
“There’s no problem, right?”
The theater staff quickly reacted and shook their heads.
“Of course not!”
After saying this, the staff member glanced at Jiang se curiously. He was trying to guess her identity.
She followed Chang Yuhu. Chang Yuhu was very close to her and even gave her a lot of guidance. When they were watching the rehearsing earlier, he had even pointed out the highlights of the others to Jiang se and commented on them. It was as if he was a student who was personally teaching her.
The staff member speculated for a while before he left to make the necessary arrangements. When Chang Yuhu saw Jiang se silently memorizing the script, he waved his hand.
it’s just an audition. I’m just asking you to go on stage to get the feel of it. You can’t become fat in one bite. Take the script and go on stage first. You don’t have to rush to memorize the lines.
Jiang se took the script and went up the stage. When she stood on the stage, the feeling she felt was different from when she was watching it from the audience.
At this time, ” returning on a snowy night ” was still in the rehearsal and had not officially started the performance. The rehearsal hall was not big, and it could only accommodate a few hundred people at most.
However, the rehearsal hall was not open at this time. Only a few staff members were standing below the stage, looking up at the center of the stage.
Chang Yuhu was sitting not far from the stage, looking at it.
Under such circumstances, it felt different from when Jiang se was filming. Even though she knew that there were not many people in the hall, as the stage lights turned on, Jiang se could still feel as if there were many pairs of eyes watching her in the dark.
She held the script in her hand. It was her first time experiencing such a situation and she felt a little pressured.
After receiving instructions from the staff, child beggar a, who was acting with her, also went on stage and started singing.
“It’s more festive every year.”
He went up the stage with his back hunched and looked around. He was a little vigilant and his body language was nervous.
Jiang se had seen him sparring with another young man earlier, so she naturally knew it was her turn to read her lines. The stage lights moved forward as he walked.
According to the script, there should have been a Blizzard here, but this was just a rehearsal, so the stage effect naturally couldn’t be so exaggerated.
When Jiang se saw the young man’s voice quivering slightly when he started singing, he even crossed his arms subconsciously and looked cold.
She took the script and read out her lines, ”
“The years bring in wealth.”
Her voice was a little soft and her tone was dry. Once she said it, she could sense that something was wrong.
In ” returning on a snowy night “, the appearance of two child beggars was to lure out Wei Liansheng, who was going to suffer the hardships of life. The two child beggars appeared in the dusk after the snow, singing one another’s tune as they wanted to beg for a bowl of food.
The appearance of a child beggar, whether it was her lines or her performance, should have shown that kind of desolation, but when she opened her mouth, she did not read out that feeling.
Chang Yuhu began to pick the role for her. The moment Jiang se opened her mouth, she realized where her problem lay.
Compared to the other young man’s performance, she was obviously at a disadvantage. She was still holding her script. When she spoke, Jiang se noticed that a few staff members in the audience were frowning.
Chang Yuhu did not move. He merely sipped his tea quietly as if he did not hear the hoarseness in Jiang SE’s voice when she recited her lines.
“Passing by the Fortune child’s door.” The young man who played the role of the beggar a bent over, rubbed his hands, and stomped his feet, vividly acting as a hungry and cold beggar in a cold environment.
Jiang se realized her own shortcomings. Just as Chang Yuhu had said, it was not just because she could not memorize her lines. It was also because she was still shackled to the core and had not completely let go.
In the three movies she had acted in before, most of the characters she played had the same temperament as herself. They were also considered flower vase-like characters, so for her, as long as she had good looks, she basically didn’t need much acting.
However, once the situation reversed, and the character she played no longer had anything to do with temperament and beauty, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
Perhaps she did not notice it herself, but as soon as Chang Yuhu asked her to go on stage and played the role of a child beggar, something was off when Jiang se opened her mouth to speak.
After she realized her mistake, Jiang se began to adjust her state of mind. When she read her lines again, she shuddered a little even though she was still holding the script. She put her hands to her lips and exhaled. Then, she raised her voice and shouted, ”
“The God of Fortune has entered the treasure.”
Although her performance was still suppressed by the young beggar, it was much better than before.
When Chang Yuhu saw this, he revealed a satisfied smile.
Sometimes, no matter how much other people argued, it was better for her to train herself. Previously, hou Xiling had mentioned that Jiang se was very smart and had a strong ability to understand things. If what hou Xiling said was true and she could discover the problem and adjust it on her own, it would be more useful than what others said.
Now, it seemed that hou Xiling was right. Although she could not let go at first, she quickly noticed it and corrected herself.
When she read her lines again, although there was still a gap between her and the young man who played the role of a beggar, Jiang SE’s improvement was already very obvious.
After the two of them finished their lines, Chang Yuhu made a pause gesture. Jiang se had only been standing on the stage for less than ten minutes. When she came down, she realized that her forehead was already covered in sweat.
“How do you feel after reading a passage?”
Chang Yuhu smiled and asked her, ” I saw that your performance was much better after that. Apart from when you were acting with others, your body also began to change. Although it still looks a little stiff, it’s already very good that you can do this on your first stage.
