Entertaining Children

"Ha!" Hearing what the student said, Chen Qiuyue patted Xiao Yao with a smile and said, "You can guess the arrangement behind the program group, and some of us can guess why you came to this program! It seems that smart people don't It's just you! Some of our newcomers are also very smart!"

"I can lie to her and say no!" Xiao Yao looked at Chen Qiuyue helplessly, "You've already said that, how can I still play?"

"Ha~ That's me!" the student said with a smile.

"I am indeed here to be a stage play director." Xiao Yao nodded, and said to the students in front of him, "This time there are six stage plays, and there are also six directors, and I am just one of them. According to the program The normal process should be that the director will come out to meet with the actors of each crew and guide you to rehearse after all the actors of all your crews have been confirmed. Because I'm relatively free today and I'm picky, so I came here early to grab a meal Yes. From this morning until just now, I have been observing you in the observation room."

"Then senior, which stage play are you in charge of?" Another student asked.

"Guess?" Xiao Yao smiled, "What I can tell you is that I was in charge of that stage play, and I wrote the script too! Which script do you think seems to be written by me?"

"'01:01AM'?"

"The Magic Watch?"

""stuntman"?"

The students all speculated.

"It won't be revealed now," Xiao Yao said with a noncommittal smile, "you will know when the time comes!"

"Hey~" the students hissed in dissatisfaction.

"Does the senior know who the other five directors are?" Another student asked, as if he wanted to judge which script belonged to Xiao Yao based on the director's style.

"I don't know," Xiao Yao shook his head and said with a smile, "But I guess, no matter what your professional level is, you should be inferior to me in terms of popularity and popularity!"

"Hey~" The students booed again.

"Okay," Xiao Yao looked at Ke Jun and the others and said, "The matter here is settled, should we go back? They still have people to continue the interview!"

"Well," Ke Jun nodded, and said to the students, "Come on everyone! We will continue to pay attention to you in the observation room!"

After saying goodbye to the students in the waiting area, Ke Jun and the four returned to the observation room. As soon as the four of them entered the observation room, they found Meng Yafang, the chief director of the program, sitting in the observation room waiting for them.

"Meng Dao!" The four greeted each other, and Xiao Yao smiled and said, "Meng Dao, you didn't come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, did you?"

"What's the crime?" Jin Wenbo asked puzzled.

"I apologize for the possible follow-up arrangements of the program group that I disclosed to the students in advance, and the possible interference with the program's filming process!" Xiao Yao bowed slightly to Meng Yafang.

"Ha, you know you're afraid now?" Chen Qiuyue laughed.

"The main reason is that those girls cried too much, and Teacher Ke and the senior sisters also tried hard to persuade them. I really can't stand it!" Xiao Yao laughed.

"You can't stand it?" Chen Qiuyue glanced at Xiao Yao.

"Your reason is so good, I just want to blame you, it's hard to say this, right?" Meng Yafang smiled helplessly.

"You really came here for this?" Chen Qiuyue said.

"That's not true!" Meng Yafang shook her head, "Variety shows are not TV dramas. Although we have a script process, we don't have a detailed script, which allows the guests a certain amount of freedom. Although what Xiao Yao does is not what we asked him to We did it, but we didn't explicitly tell him not to do it, so we have no position to blame him!"

"That's true," Ke Jun nodded with a smile, "If it's all performed according to the script designed by the program team, then the shooting of this variety show will not be interesting."

"I came here to find Teacher Ke!" Meng Yafang looked at Ke Jun and said, "I didn't tell you about the follow-up arrangements before. Now that the interview is almost over, it's about time to tell you. Xiao Yao guessed right, those who didn't get the role actor,

There will still be roles in the end, but there is no interview process. Our arrangement is that after the interview, which of the cast members has not been fully recruited, we will take turns to choose among those actors who have no roles in the order of the ranking of the students in class A. This matter needs to be presided over by Mr. Ke! "

"This is Xiao Yao's more reliable way of guessing!" Chen Qiuyue said, "Xiao Yao really guessed it right!"

"Teacher Ke also said just now, apart from what I said, there is no better arrangement!" Xiao Yao laughed, "Let Teacher Ke guess, and he can guess right. He just didn't guess!"

"Okay, okay, don't try to take the responsibility on me, I just followed your words!" Ke Jun smiled and waved to Xiao Yao, and then said to Meng Yafang, "Understood Director Meng, after a while After the interview, I will go there!"

"Okay, then I'll work hard for Mr. Ke!" Meng Yafang smiled, "Don't disturb everyone, you can continue!"

After sending Meng Yafang away, the four of them sat back in front of the monitor again and continued to watch the interviews in several rooms.

The interview in the afternoon has basically come to an end, and the list of actors for each crew will be announced soon.

"Ah, Xiao Yao, all the roles in your crew have been selected, it's full!" Seeing that the cast list of Xiao Yao's crew is all filled, Ke Jun turned his head and smiled at Xiao Yao.

"It's not surprising!" Chen Qiuyue picked out one of the several scripts in front of her, flipped through it and said, "Xiao Yao's script is the one with the least obvious boundary between the protagonist and the supporting role among the six scripts, almost indistinguishable." It is a large group drama to figure out who is the protagonist and who is the supporting role, and each character has something to shine, so many actors who rank high in their respective classes have applied for interviews for the roles in this script, and the roles they applied for It's still relatively scattered, there are people applying for each role, and it's not surprising that they can all be selected."

"Hey, I remembered that the movie "Donkey Gets Water" that you are showing now is also this kind of group play. There is not much difference between the roles of the protagonists and supporting actors, or is there a group of protagonists?" Ke Jun looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Are you particularly good at writing this kind of group play? Or is it just that you prefer to write group play during this period?"

"I'm not particularly good at it or like it." Xiao Yao shook his head and smiled, "It's just that I don't write this kind of group play, how can Mr. Ke and senior sister help my movie to advertise and promote it so tacitly and naturally?"

"Since you have mentioned my movie." Xiao Yao got up and bowed to a camera lens in the observation room, "The movie "Donkey Gets Water" is currently in theaters, please come to the theater for your support, thank you! "

"Hello!" Ke Jun and Chen Qiuyue shouted in unison.

"Okay, okay, I'm not joking!" Xiao Yao sat down and said seriously, "It doesn't matter whether you are good at it or not, like it or not. In this show, newcomers and actors come to learn and show themselves. There is no distinction between protagonists and supporting roles, so in this stage performance, I want to try my best to give every actor in my group the opportunity to express themselves, and to have a special shining moment on the stage."

"Sounds so official!" Jin Wenbo laughed.

"Although it sounds very official, I have to admit, it's really well said!" Ke Jun applauded with a smile.

Jin Wenbo and Chen Qiuyue followed Ke Jun and applauded Xiao Yao.

"It's over!" Xiao Yao smiled and waved his hands, "It's rare to say such a thing in such a serious manner, I will be embarrassed if you look like this!"

"Mr. Xiao Yao, all the actors of your crew have been confirmed. Director Meng said that you can go to the interview room to meet them now." The on-site director in the observation room said to Xiao Yao.

"Ah? Now? It's not time yet, right?" Xiao Yao looked at the time on his phone, "Aren't the other directors here yet?"

"Director Meng said it's okay!" said the on-site director, "Your cast has been selected, and you are here, so let's go there first. I don't care about the interval between several crews."

"Okay!" Xiao Yao said to Ke Jun and the others, "Then I'll go first!" Then he got up and walked to the door of the observation room.

"Wait!" Chen Qiuyue called.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yao turned around and asked.

Chen Qiuyue picked up a script on the table and shook it: "You forgot to bring the script!"

"No, it's all here!" Xiao Yao smiled and pointed to his temple.

"Have you memorized the whole script?" Chen Qiuyue asked in surprise.

Xiao Yao didn't answer, smiled and waved, turned and left.

"Can he really memorize such a thick script exactly?" Chen Qiuyue asked Ke Jun.

"People can memorize a thousand words in a minute, and there are a few years ago's Shen Opera Art Examination videos!" Jin Wenbo said with a smile, "This script was written by him himself, so it's not surprising that he can remember it, right?"

"But the short-term quick memory during the exam is not the same thing as memorizing such a thick script!" Chen Qiuyue said, "He is going to guide the students to rehearse, not to tell stories, but to dig out the details. Since I met him today, I have never seen him turn over this script, can he really remember it so clearly and firmly?"

"Then don't the students still have the scripts in their hands?" Jin Wenbo said, "I didn't say that he is not allowed to read the scripts in the students' hands."

"I haven't seen him filming or directing a movie," Ke Jun said with a smile, "but I heard from our colleagues in the stage that when he participated in "Singer" it really only took about ten minutes to stand on stage. He was able to host without a script. When he participated in "Sound on the Scene", he didn't take the line book when he entered the dubbing room! Even if it is a long-term, large amount of memory that needs to dig out details, he should have no problem. His memory is really good. It's not someone who asked the program team to arrange a character set for him!"

"Then, isn't he reading the script and memorizing the lines as a joke?" Chen Qiuyue threw the script in her hand on the table, folded her arms and sighed, "Oh, it's so annoying to compare people to people!"

"Why do you want to compare with him?" Ke Jun smiled and comforted, "Xiao Yao is such an evildoer, how many years does it come out? If you compare with him, don't you just find yourself angry?"

"That's right," Chen Qiuyue felt much more comfortable when she thought about it, "Anyway, he's an actor, so I won't have any competition with him. There's nothing to compare to. It's just watching gods at that time."

"Hearing what you said, it seems like I should really feel a sense of crisis!" Jin Wenbo smiled wryly.

"It's okay, I'm already a director, don't compete with him for roles in the future, just act in the crew where he is the director!" Chen Qiuyue patted Jin Wenbo with a smile and said.

Xiao Yao came to the interview area, found the interview room of his crew, gently opened the door and walked in.

In the room, six people formed a circle, looking down at the script and discussing something while reading. When Xiao Yao entered, he was not noticed immediately.

"Cough!" Xiao Yao could only cough lightly to attract the attention of the six people.

"Huh?" The six people heard the voice and looked up towards the direction of the door from which the voice came.

"Hi everyone, I'm Xiao Yao!" Seeing the six people looking over, Xiao Yao greeted with a smile and waved.

"Xiao Yao?" All six showed surprised expressions.

The rule of this interview is that the candidate actors for each role enter the interview room together for an interview, and several candidates can intuitively see the performance of their competitors. When Xiao Yao appeared in the waiting area just now, although the interview in this room was not over yet, the interview for the last role was already in progress. After the interview, the six people got together to discuss the script. No one left the room, and the people in the waiting area did not notify each room that Xiao Yao was coming, so the six people in this room did not see each other. When it came to Xiao Yao, I didn't know that Xiao Yao came to this show.

"I am the director of your stage play. I will rehearse this play with you and be responsible for guiding your performance." Xiao Yao continued, "By the way, I wrote this book!"

"Wow~Xiao Yao!" The six seemed to be sure that the person who came in was Xiao Yao, and they stood up in surprise.

"Yeah~" The six people hugged each other excitedly to celebrate, and suddenly a student seemed to remember something, bowed to Xiao Yao and said, "Hi, Director!"

"Hello, director!" The other five people also reacted, and greeted Xiao Yao.

"Don't be so cautious, everyone is more casual, let's sit down and chat for a while!" Xiao Yao waved his hand, walked in front of the six people, and sat down on the ground.

This interview room is actually a classroom and rehearsal room prepared by the program group for the students. Not to mention the wooden floor, it is also covered with a layer of gray carpet. It is no problem whether you are sitting or lying down. Now there is only one table and two chairs in the classroom, so Xiao Yao chose to sit directly on the ground.

Seeing Xiao Yao sit down, the six people also sat down and formed a circle with Xiao Yao automatically.

"There is no need to introduce yourself," Xiao Yao said first, "You are already familiar with each other. I have watched the previous program and know the six of you. I think you all know me, so I don't need to introduce me. yourself?"

"of course I know!"

"No need!" The six laughed.

"Okay, first of all it's time for questions." Xiao Yao said, "If you have any doubts or questions, you can ask them first, and I will try my best to answer them."

"Senior, no, director," a student said, "The program team really asked you to be the director of our stage play?"

"It seems that the title of my senior is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!" Xiao Yao smiled, "When you are not rehearsing, you should call me senior! Although some of you are older than me, there should be none. It was earlier than my debut."

"As for your question," Xiao Yao looked at the student who asked the question, "I'm already sitting here, you don't think the program team invited me to chat with you, do you?"

"Heh~" Someone laughed softly.

"Or, do you think I'm too young and question my qualifications as a stage director?" Xiao Yao continued.

"No!" The six people hurriedly waved their hands.

"You directed and acted in a short film a few years ago, and you directed the movie "Parkour Boy" the year before. You have been a director for a long time. How can we question your qualifications as a director?" said a student.

"Also, I heard that you filmed "The Donkey Gets Water" last year, and it will be released soon." Another student added, "Mr. He Ying has been filmed under your guidance. It must be more than enough to guide the few of us."

"Hey," Xiao Yao sighed, and said to the student behind him, "When this episode aired, my movie had already been released, so you should say that your film "Donkey Gets Water" " is now being screened. I wanted to thank you for helping me advertise and publicize, but if you say that, the teacher can only cut it out later, and the paragraph just now is useless."

"Huh?" The student was stunned.

"Huh? Ha~" The other students were also taken aback for a moment, and then they all laughed.

"Director, let me say it again! Brother cameraman, please do a close-up!" The student also reacted and said to the camera crew in the room.

"Ha~"

"Lin Kaijie, you are too fake!"

"Too shameless!"

The other students laughed and accused.

"Okay, okay," Xiao Yao waved his hand to silence everyone's laughter before continuing, "You are all actors, you should have heard the saying that movies are the art of directors, and TV dramas are the art of screenwriters." , Drama is the art of actors. Your stage play is also a drama, so you actors are the most important. As for me, the director, it’s actually not that important.”

"No!" The students shook their heads and waved their hands.

"Senior, we love to hear that sentence you said, but the last sentence is pure humility." The student named Lin Kaijie said.

"Of course it's modest!" Xiao Yao stared, "Who would really think that the work they do is not important?"

"Ha~" The students laughed again.
