Entertaining Children

"Continue to talk about the topic just now," Xiao Yao and others laughed for a while, then picked up the previous topic, and continued, "Just now we talked about the art that drama, film and television belong to different people. Next, I want to say What’s more, there is a difference between acting on stage and acting on film and television. Can someone tell me the difference between the two?”

"One is facing the audience, and the other is facing the camera." A female student raised her hand.

"One can be NG, and the other must be played to the end once, and there is no way to repeat it." A male student also raised his hand.

"Well, it seems that everyone is a relatively professional actor." Xiao Yao nodded, "The drama must be finished at one time, and it cannot be NG, which makes it more difficult, but because of this, the expressions of the actors are continuous when performing the drama. It might be more fun to act!"

"This time, there is another difficulty in your stage play performance in the big assessment," Xiao Yao continued, "That is, your rehearsal time is only about one day. Tomorrow night is the time for your big assessment, and you will perform on stage .”

"What? Only one day of rehearsal?"

"Are you going to perform on stage tomorrow night?"

"Is it in time?"

The students all cried out in surprise.

"It should be in time!" Xiao Yao laughed, "When I participated in "Immersive Sound" before, I experienced two stage performances. In those two times, the rehearsal time for our last round of stage plays was only A few hours, less than a day. There is also a program called "Actor" on Zhedong Satellite TV, and the rehearsal time seems to be only 24 hours."

""Immersive Sound"? "Actor"? Do you compare us with you and those teachers?" A student said, "Senior, don't you think highly of us?"

"It's not that I think highly of you, it's that the program team thinks highly of you." Xiao Yao spread his hands and smiled, "The meaning of watching the program team is that the rehearsal time should also be one of the tests for you."

"Then what else is there to say? Senior, director, let's line up quickly?" a student suggested.

"Okay!" Xiao Yao pointed to the script in the hands of those people, "First question, do you have any questions about the script? Is there anything you don't understand?"

"We can't even understand the script, can we?" A student laughed.

"It's not that you don't understand." Xiao Yao said, "I'm asking if there are any problems with the details. For example, is there anyone who doesn't understand what "laid off" and "Little Red Riding Hood" mean. This is from the 1990s Stories, you may not have been born yet."

"Seniors look down on us too much, don't they?" A student said, "A laid-off job means losing a job. Little Red Riding Hood is the porter who carries bags at the train station."

"That's right," another student echoed, "In the 1990s, we were indeed not born yet, but weren't you also not born yet? If you can write it down, why don't we know?"

"Okay, I was wrong!" Xiao Yao smiled and waved his hands, "Second question, has anyone memorized the script? Not all of it, write down all the parts of your performance and the timing of your appearance and exit Is there any? I don’t want everyone to take the script to check the words when rehearsing!”

"This~" The six people hesitated this time, but no one answered.

"Okay, there is still time now, everyone read the script first, and try to memorize your own parts, and we will start rehearsing after dinner." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "According to my estimate, the total duration of this stage play is only twenty. The longest performance time for each character is more than ten minutes, the rehearsal time should be enough!"

"We read the script, so what are you doing?" a student asked.

"I'll tell the staff to move props for you." Xiao Yao smiled, "The closet pots can be performed without physical objects, but there is also the plot of the character sitting on the chair. You can't squat during rehearsals, right? "

The script Xiao Yao wrote for this group of people is basically from the stage play "Please Answer 1988" in "I Am an Actor" in his previous life. Xiao Yao not only made some deletions and revisions to the script because of the number of characters,

Also changed a name.

The stage play in the variety show in the previous life used some plots from the Korean TV series "Please Answer 1988" and the Chinese TV series "Hey, Old Man" in the previous life, so it was called "Please Answer 1988". There is no such Korean TV series in this world, and it is a bit strange to have this name. Since the plots are all about the lives of ordinary people in the city, Xiao Yao chose a more life-like name called "Minhe Hutong".

The content of this stage play is about the daily life of ordinary residents of Sanhu in the 1990s, so many life-like props will be used. The props for stage performances are all prepared in advance, but they are not suitable for moving to the rehearsal room, but some can be replaced by other things. For example, there will be rattan tables and chairs and wooden tables and chairs during stage performances, which can be replaced by lightweight plastic tables and chairs.

These things were explained to the program team by Xiao Yao when he was writing the script, and they were also prepared by the program team in advance, but the program team did not put them in in advance when the students were interviewing in this room, and was ready to wait for Xiao Yao and the students Let's talk after we meet.

As the director of this stage play, Xiao Yao is responsible for the rehearsal of the students, so he naturally has the power to command and dispatch. I talked to the director of the filming crew in the room, and soon a staff member brought over two sets of plastic tables and chairs.

After the staff brought the tables and chairs over, Xiao Yao sat comfortably on the chair, took out his phone and looked at it.

A female student looked up at Xiao Yao who was playing with her mobile phone, and suddenly raised her hand and shouted: "Director, I think I have written down all this part, and I want to try it. But the lines of Lin Kaijie and Zhou Feng are both different." I haven't memorized it yet, I don't want to affect them, can you please check the words with me?"

"Huh?" Xiao Yao looked up, "Shall I help you correct the words?"

"Well!" The female student got up and walked to Xiao Yao's side, handed over the script in her hand and said, "You don't want us to take the script and move the words, it should be fine for you to take it yourself? I will give my script to you." you!"

"No problem, I'll correct the words for you!" Xiao Yao put away his phone and stood up, but he didn't pick up the script she handed over, and said with a smile, "No script, let's line up and move around by the way!"

"No script?" The female student was taken aback, and the other five people also looked up.

"No need!" Xiao Yao took the female student's script and put it on the table, walked to the door and said, "Let's start here, the distance should be about the same!" Saying that, he squatted down.

"Really or not?" The five students were not in the mood to read the script, and looked at Xiao Yao and whispered.

"Wang Jiayi, isn't that the right word?" Xiao Yao looked at the female student and said.

"Okay!" The female student named Wang Jiayi nodded, and walked towards Xiao Yao who was at the door in disbelief.

As soon as Wang Jiayi walked to Xiao Yao's side, Xiao Yao stood up and looked at her with a smile.

"Need a reminder? Give it to me!" Seeing that Wang Jiayi was silent, Xiao Yao reminded.

"Oh," Wang Jiayi nodded, and stretched out his hands to Xiao Yao's right hand, "Give it to me!"

Xiao Yao put his right hand behind his back, stretched out his left hand and said, "Bring me the money!"

Wang Jiayi reached into his coat pocket and took it out, and patted Xiao Yao's outstretched left hand: "I've earned so much today, it's not enough to clean my face!"

"Forget it, I'll give it next time, or I'll give it to you!" With that said, Xiao Yao stretched out his right hand behind him and handed it over.

"Put it in my bag!" Wang Jiayi turned her back.

Xiao Yao walked behind Wang Jiayi with a smile, and made a gesture of unzipping the schoolbag and stuffing things into it.

"Wow~ He really remembers everything!" The five students watching the play sighed softly.

"Okay, let's go!" Xiao Yao made another zip movement, and said to Wang Jiayi.

The two walked side by side to the center of the room for a few steps. Wang Jiayi suddenly stopped, looked ahead and said, "Hey, Second Senior Brother, you are back!"

"How do we do this?" One of the five students whispered, "There are only two of them in a three-person play!"

Xiao Yao who was beside Wang Jiayi stopped, twisted his body uncomfortably, looked in the same direction as Wang Jiayi and said with a smile, "Hello, Uncle!"

"Hmm!" Xiao Yaoyao imitated the voice of a middle-aged man, let out a deep "hmm", and then resumed his original voice, "Oh, yes, I forgot to buy steamed buns! I'll go first..." He said , Xiao Yao turned around and walked back, while Wang Jiayi ran forward cautiously and quickly.

"I'll go! Can you still act like this?" All five students showed surprised expressions.

"Stop!" Xiao Yao who was walking back suddenly made another deep voice, then stopped immediately and looked back. Wang Jiayi also stopped when she heard this sound.

"Oh, I didn't mention you!" Xiao Yao chuckled in a low voice, then showed a relieved expression, and immediately turned and left quickly.

"It's amazing! It's worthy of being able to dub nine characters at the same time!" The five students praised in their hearts.

Xiao Yao's expression and movements have always been "Zhou Chenxi" in the script, but the three particularly deep words in the middle are the lines of another character "Lin Jianjun", that is, the lines of the father of "Lin Qiuyang" played by Wang Jiayi in the play . Seeing that Xiao Yao can take on another character's lines while playing one role, and achieve almost seamless switching, the five onlookers were a little amazed.

Xiao Yao turned around and took two steps, then quickly ran back behind Wang Jiayi, arched his back slightly, stretched out his left hand, and said in a low voice, "Little Monkey, add water to me!"

"This is the continuation? It's amazing!" The five students watched excitedly, and couldn't help but want to applaud Xiao Yao.

"Hey!" Wang Jiayi bent down, took the non-existent "water cup" from Xiao Yaoxu's left hand with both hands, and ran to the side to perform "pour water" without a real object.

From here, the following is basically a rivalry between the two. Xiao Yao no longer needs to use his voice to play two roles, but his shock to the six students is no less than that at the beginning.

Although the two of them are just for the words and positions at the moment, not even a formal rehearsal, but after Xiao Yao switched to the role of the father played by Wang Jiayi, his demeanor, speech and actions are all alive and well Just like a middle-aged father. If the previous students were shocked by the switching of Xiao Yao's voice, at this moment they were completely overwhelmed by Xiao Yao's acting skills.

"It still works!" Xiao Yao said as he walked, carrying a "schoolbag" that didn't exist in both hands.

"It can't be used anymore, buy me one! You have already agreed!" Wang Jiayi said while pulling Xiao Yao along.

"Oh~" Seeing this scene come to an end, the five onlookers clapped their hands and shouted loudly.

Xiao Yao waved to the five people, signaling them to be quiet, then switched to a younger voice and called: "Old Lin, sister Meilan..."

"Enough is enough!" Wang Jiayi waved his hand and said, "Director, I don't have any lines when I appear at the end, the main thing is a group photo, no need to be wrong, I must remember it, no problem!"

"Is the following word unnecessary?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.

"No need!" Wang Jiayi shook his head.

"Okay!" Xiao Yao nodded, "I don't require every word of the lines to be exactly the same as the script, as long as the meaning is correct. The feeling just now was okay, and your lines are basically fine. If you move , I’m in it, so it’s hard to judge. I have to wait until you rehearse, and I’ll watch from the side, so I can make adjustments and adjustments. In terms of performance, this is the first rehearsal, and your attention is mainly on the lines , I won’t comment on it, let’s continue to work hard in the future!”

"Okay, thank you director!" Wang Jiayi bowed slightly, "I'll think about it carefully, and I'll definitely play her well!"

"What about you?" Xiao Yao looked at the other five students next to him, "Who else has memorized all the lines of the characters, do you need to adjust the words?"

"This~no!" The five students shook their heads in unison.

"We were patronizing to watch your performance just now!" said a rookie actor named Zhou Feng.

"Director, you're really good at acting!" Another new actress named Zhang Yunlan said, "It is said that good rival actors are rare. If you can come on stage and act with us, we will definitely perform better!"

"Yeah, I think so too!" Wang Jiayi nodded repeatedly.

Although the acting performance just now was not considered good in Xiao Yao's eyes, Wang Jiayi originally only wanted to match the words and positions, and had no intention of putting himself into the role to play this role at all. But after meeting a partner like Xiao Yao, she unknowingly put herself into the role. It's just that I didn't prepare well before, and I had to worry about not making mistakes in the lines, so this kind of substitution was not complete, and I was a little confused, so the performance was not satisfactory. If you really rehearse well, Wang Jiayi also feels that a good opponent can fully stimulate her potential.

"Why don't you come on stage and act with us as the director?" Lin Kaijie said, "Haven't you always been used to directing and acting by yourself?"

"You don't need to discuss the possibility of me performing on stage," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "I'm just here to be a director this time, and I won't perform with you on stage. Even if the program team listens to you and wants to pull me on stage, but the script is What I wrote, only I can change, I will not add a role for myself in this script!"

"Forget it, if you don't act as a partner on the stage, it's not bad to act together with your partner during rehearsal!" Lin Kaijie raised his hand and said, "Director, I've memorized my part too, come and help me try it!"

"You are playing Lin Jianjun, that is, Wang Jiayi's father! Wang Jiayi is here, and I have memorized all the lines. Why don't you ask her to find me for the correct words?" Xiao Yao laughed, "You take me as the all-round assistant for your rehearsals ah?"
