Chapter 75

Xiao Yao once ran around with Xiao Chengru for a long time. He has been to many TV drama troupes and movie troupes for several times. However, the drama troupe has never been there. This time, sun Zhihao's participation in "happy terminal" is his first time to see the drama troupe. The stage, intuition, comprehensiveness and dialogue of drama are very different from those of film and television works. Props, costumes, dance beauty and lighting are totally different from those I have seen before. Xiao Yao, who thinks he already knows a lot about the cast, seems to have seen a completely different new world.

Xiao Yao has seen a lot of movies and TV in his previous life, but he has never gone to the theater to see even one drama, which is a complete zero experience.

The performance of drama is very different from that of film and television drama. Film and television, is to restore the real scene in reality, give the audience the feeling should be as true as possible. Some of the audience's comments on the film and television drama works are "too fake", but no audience will criticize the "authenticity" of the drama because of the exaggeration of the stage setting and the performance of the actors. The world of drama is a world of exaggeration after abstraction and concentration. Therefore, drama performance is also abstract and concentrated. Compared with real life, it is exaggeration.

When sun Zhihao brings Xiao Yao to the rehearsal scene of the play and announces that Xiao Yao will be the actor of Chen Fang, the son of Chen Jianjun, the hero in the play, everyone in the cast is taken aback. Originally, they thought that sun Zhihao would find a short, experienced adult actor to play Chen Fang, a very important role in the play.

On the stage of real commercial drama, there are few children. Because in addition to the need for more exaggerated performance requirements, there are two major features of drama performance, one is solid basic skills, the other is almost no fault tolerance.

In the drama performance, the lines need to be clear, sonorous and powerful. When the mood is low or high, the full mood should be conveyed with much more exaggerated actions and language than in real life. This requires very solid lines skills and accurate action expression ability. At the same time, because the drama performance is continuous and one-time, every part of the drama performance is full of emotion The action must be carefully designed, and the actor's position, expression and lines must be rehearsed many times in advance. Once there is a mistake, there is no room for correction, so there must be no mistake. Unlike movies and TV series, which are shot first and edited later, they can play again if they don't perform well.

This also determines that the actor can't relax for a moment in the process of one or two hours' performance. He must pay attention to the whole process, devote himself to the role wholeheartedly, and can't make any mistakes in the middle. It is very difficult for children to have a solid foundation of lines, accurate expression ability of actions, long-time concentration and no mistakes in the middle. In addition, the drama is exaggerated and has low requirements for reality, so it is often the case that adults play children.

In view of Xiao Yuanyuan's maturity and intelligence, sun Zhihao is very confident that Xiao Yao will not make mistakes in the process. As for the previous points, the accuracy of lines and movements is the content of sun Zhihao's training guidance for Xiao Yao.

In the face of everyone's doubt, Xiao Yao dispelled everyone's doubt about his lines ability on the first day, which not only shocked the rest of the crew, but also surprised sun Zhihao.

A few years ago, when Xiao Yao and Xiao Chengru mixed up in the drama group, they were very curious about the sound training of "three cavity resonance" because they learned that an actor who graduated from a film academy had to perform morning exercises every day when he was studying, so they pestered Xiao Chengru to teach him. In recent years, in addition to running and practicing martial arts, he has been practicing singing and "three cavity resonance" all the time.

Although not like Xiao Chengru, who has been used to speaking for decades, he will unconsciously bring that kind of resonant style when he speaks at ordinary times, his "three cavity resonance" voice mode, coupled with the breath and tone that he has practiced for a long time, is also enough to make him speak the kind of "drama cavity" with strong sense and penetrating power, which is not inferior to ordinary actors ”。

Sun Zhihao even felt that in the formal performance, the headworn microphone originally prepared for Xiao Yao was unnecessary. Xiao Yao's lines on the stage can be heard directly by the audience of the whole theater.

And a few days later, Xiao Yao's terrible memory also let everyone worry about his second point disappear. After several days of rehearsal, not only did Xiao Yao never miss or make mistakes in his lines, but also his movements on the stage were all very accurate, without making a single mistake.

What Xiao Yao lacks is pure acting skills, such as breathing, enunciation, pause, rhythm, tone and intonation, facial expression, emotional expression and so on. But these, need to carry on the instruction and the training unceasingly by sun Zhihao to him.

In this way, at least we don't worry about Xiao Yao's performance accident, which will destroy the whole play. The rest depends on the efforts of everyone, including Xiao Yao, to make the play wonderful.

Compared with the penetrating power of sound, the accuracy of walking movements, which are visible to the naked eye, and acting skills, which are pure internal skills, Xiao Yao's performance is not very bright. This is also because Xiao Yao has only seen movies and TV dramas, and has never seen even a drama. He is too unfamiliar with this exaggerated way of performance in drama. At the same time, his psychological acceptance is also very limited, so his progress is extremely slow.In this case, sun Zhihao can only be forced to open a small kitchen for Xiao Yao. After rehearsal, he takes the opportunity to live together and guides Xiao Yao's acting skills with Hu xuena at home in the evening.

Hu xuena is also from a serious film academy, and she is very keen and good at drama performance. She just faded out of the performing arts circle, and she didn't retire completely. When she came across good books that she was interested in, she would also play some roles. Therefore, at home in the evening, Hu xuena and sun Zhihao can guide Xiao Yao together.

After the Doubao incident, Xiao Yao is also hard hearted. In the face of the problem of drama performance, he shows a very tough side. No matter in the rehearsal field or at Sun Zhihao's home at night, he studies and practices those things taught by sun Zhihao and Hu xuena very hard. Even so, Xiao Yao is just in time to catch up with the rehearsal progress of the whole play.

"Dad! Help With a shrill cry, Xiao Yao, who plays Chen Fang, rushes onto the stage from one side of the stage and rushes to the other side of the stage desperately. Chen Fang, played by Xiao Yao, is staggering and waving his arms in an exaggerated way. With a few barks of dogs in the stereo and a dog shaped shadow projected on the back screen, he performs the embarrassing scene of being chased by dogs.

Running Chen Fang's left foot tripped on his right heel, the whole person immediately lost his balance, "pa" fell on the stage. There was no time to get up. Accompanied by the nearer shadow and the more rapid barking of the dog, Chen Fang only had time to turn around on the ground and began to push and kick against the shadow in the air. The panic in Chen Fang's face and eyes was obvious. His hands and feet were waving wildly, crying out: "Dad!"

Finally, Chen Jianjun, played by sun Zhihao, appears on the other side of the stage. Seeing the scene in front of him, Chen Jianjun's eyes were ready to crack. He picked up a brick on the ground and threw it. Unfortunately, it's still a little late. Just as Chen Jianjun bent over to pick up the bricks, Chen Fang's right leg suddenly stretched straight forward, just like being pulled by something. Chen Fang also made a scream in his mouth.

"Pa!" The brick fell next to Chen Fang and the wild dog, making a huge noise. The shadow on the curtain turned and moved. With the sound of running away, it indicated that the wild dog was scared, let go of Chen Fang, and turned away.

Chen Jianjun ran over with a shocked face, sat down next to Chen Fang, and hugged Chen Fang who was still crying with his right leg on the ground. Hugged by his father, Chen Fang immediately looked up at his father and cried, "Dad, I've been bitten by a dog! My leg hurts

"Not afraid," Chen Jianjun comforted his son anxiously, "Dad will take you to the hospital, to bandage, to break the cold, to get rabies vaccine, you will be OK, you will be OK." With that, Chen Jianjun struggled to stand up with Chen Fang in his arms and ran to the side of the stage in a panic.

The lights on the stage dimmed, indicating the end of the scene.

When the light comes on again, sun Zhihao has put down Xiao Yao. They are standing on one side of the stage, panting. Xiao Yao was crying and shouting just now. He was so excited that he was calming down. Sun Zhihao is just holding Xiao Yao ran a few steps, some tired. Xiao Yao because of regular exercise, the body is more solid, regardless of height and weight than the average eight year old children to exceed some. At present, his height has grown to 142 cm and his weight has reached 40 kg. Sun Zhihao, a man in his forties, is still struggling to run with Xiao Yao in his arms.

"Good! Very good The executive director, who stood watching from the stage, said hello and took the lead in clapping twice. Other actors and staff members who did not take part in the performance and watched nearby also applauded one after another.

Since the next scene is in the hospital, there will be a lot of props and characters, so the preparation time will be longer. In addition, before the formal rehearsal of the plot, the actors have to rehearse and walk, so Xiao Yao can have a rest. Because in the next scene, he is in a coma state. Apart from being held in his arms by sun Zhihao, he is lying on the emergency bed in the hospital. He doesn't have to speak or act, and he doesn't have to walk to his lines.

"Sun Dao, your physical strength is not good. If you run with Xiao Yao for a few steps, you will gasp like this. You need to strengthen your exercise." Taking advantage of the stage to replace props to do preparatory work, sun Zhihao also ran to the audience to sit and rest, but did not breathe, was his deputy, executive director Xie Kai ridicule.

"Xiao Yao is too heavy, OK?" Sun Zhihao glanced at his deputy and gasped, "Xiao Yao doesn't look heavy, but his muscles are strong. He's not only heavier than he looks, but also harder to hold. He's also tall. It's hard to hold him. If you don't believe it, go and hold it yourself. Although you are younger than me, it's not as good as me if you can't tell. " On rehearsal occasions, he is not Xiao Yao's nickname.

"I'm not going to ask for trouble." Xie Kai quickly smiles and shakes his hand.

"Children, it's a good performance. Come on, reward you." Xiao Yao is sitting in the first row of audience to rest. A 20-year-old girl in a nurse's dress sits next to him and hands over a can of open potato chips.

"Thank you. I won't eat it." Xiao Yao side head looked one eye, shook to shake head a way.The girl sitting here is Su Chengying, who will play the role of nurse in the next scene. She is now a junior in the Acting Department of the film academy. She is a student in sun Zhihao's class. In this play, she plays the role of a nurse, which is not heavy. She only appears in two acts, with a serious supporting role.

Sun Zhihao has been a teacher in the Film Academy for more than ten years. He is also a senior actor, director and screenwriter. With his contacts and influence in the industry, most of the cast members recruited are leading figures in the industry. This time, sun Zhihao brought her into this group to feel and learn because she did well in her major and had great potential. At the same time, the role was not heavy and the age was suitable. As a junior in school, Su Chengying dare not be presumptuous in front of your predecessors. Therefore, she is lively in nature. When she is bored, she can only tease the only child younger than her in this group.
