Senior Superstar

In "Only You", a play with only four acts, Li Shixin played the role of father, spanning several decades.

In order to reflect the state of the role of the father at each stage, Lee Se-shin has put his mind on the make-up.

In the first scene of "The Road to School on the Back" that is currently being staged, he is in his prime.

Wearing a red pullover with a white shirt underneath and a black wig, he looked only in his thirties.

A group of staff from the Cultural Affairs Bureau found out that the actor on stage was actually over 60 years old, and couldn't believe it—whether it was from the actor's stride, walking posture, or... to be able to carry a man who looked 1.60 meters tall The physical strength of the little actors on the left and right, how can they be like sixty-five people?

"Leader, let's not care how old he is. Can you solve our problem?"

Hearing the urging of the tenants around him, several staff members of the Cultural Bureau waved their hands.

Living in a place like Rongdian, doing cultural industry management, everyone can see much of the world.

Rongdian is a city supported by drama. If the Cultural Affairs Bureau really wants to take care of those who perform privately without a performance permit, they can catch a lot by driving around for a walk.

So to be honest, if they hadn't received more than a dozen reporting calls today to report this small theater at the same time, they wouldn't bother to take care of it.

At this time, seeing that the performance was already on stage, and he was very curious about the actors, the leader of the cultural bureau waved his hand: "Wait a while, it's not too far away, wait until they finish the performance."

As he spoke, he stood aside with a few colleagues whose attention had already been attracted by the stage.

on stage.

Li Shixin and An Xiaoxiao have already entered the scene.

The first scene is about a father picking up his daughter from school on a rainy day. Because the water on the ground was deep, the father went home with his daughter on his back. On the way, an emotional dialogue between father and daughter.

The stage was carefully staged; a large backdrop was spray-painted with a school street scene on a rainy day.

In front of the blurred background, the daughter is holding an umbrella and climbing on the father's back. The father, on the other hand, struggled to wade through the stagnant water.

The stage of a drama is not a movie. The movie reflects this kind of environment, and it can be done directly with a sprinkler and a real scene.

But the stage does not have these conditions.

So what to do?

The general environment of the car can only be conveyed to the audience through the background cloth, and everything else needs the actors to rely on their own acting skills to convey the elements of the environment, characters, etc. to the audience!

How did Li Shixin convey it?

It's just that I rolled up my trousers high and dragged my legs when I walked, as if there was resistance with every step.

There is no water on the stage, but no matter who is watching, the role of father is wading through the water with difficulty at this time!

With just these two details, the environment of the character was clearly and vividly expressed to all the audience.

After Li Shixin's training, An Xiaoxiao is not a vegetarian either—by holding the umbrella tightly in her hand, and adding some uncontrollable swinging movements of the umbrella from side to side. It directly highlights the rainy and windy environment.

The father and daughter walked in front of the audience "in the wind and rain" environment and started a line dialogue;

"Dad, are you tired? Look at you, you're sweating. Let me down and I'll go by myself."

The father bumped his daughter who was about to break free and said: "Don't move around, the rain is too cold, what should you do if it freezes?"

"I'm already such a big girl, if you carry me home, your classmates will laugh at you!"

"Nonsense! No matter how old you are, you are still my father's daughter. With my father, even if you start a family and have your own children, you are still a little girl. Lay down!"

"Ah! Dad, it's thundering, I'm so scared!"

"Silly girl, don't be afraid, Dad is here."

"Father, whenever there is thunder and rain in the future, you have to come and pick me up from school, otherwise I'm afraid!"

"Okay, okay, Dad wrote it down."

"No matter how busy you are at work, you have to come and pick me up. Don't forget!"

"Well, don't worry, Dad will never forget."

In the line dialogue between father and daughter, apart from the father's domineering refusal to let his daughter go to the ground at the beginning, most of the daughters are happy and angry telling their father about some trivial things in school and family, and looking forward to the future with their father.

The cut in the first act was actually very plain, but the audience present were unknowingly enveloped in the warmth of the father and daughter in the wind and rain.

With the curtain drawn, the first act ends.

Li Shixin quickly took An Xiaoxiao back to the backstage to change up and prepare for the next game.

"Hurry up, five minutes. Little hurry up!"

"Good teacher Li! No problem!"

Backstage, Li Shixin took off his coat and put on a prop suit. By the way, he glanced at Zhang Shuo who was already standing aside.

"Have you decided?"

Li Shixin asked loudly after taking off the pure black headgear that represented the image of the middle-aged, and replaced it with the gray headgear that represented the image of the middle-aged.

Looking at the busy Li Shixin, Zhang Shuo gritted his teeth.

"For the last time, if I fail this time. From then on, I..."

Cleaning up his appearance neatly, Li Shixin knocked on Zhang Shuo, pinned a groom's flower on the suit and costume he was already wearing, and knocked on the chestnut with a smile.

"Stinky boy, I'm here. You can play it!"

Act two, begin.

A wedding scene was displayed in front of the audience.

As the curtain opened, the father, who had wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and hunched slightly, sat on the stool.

"Congratulations, Lao Li, it is said that a son-in-law is half a son. From now on, you will also have a son!"

Facing the guests who came forward to congratulate him, his father's smile was a bit complicated: "Hey, I hope, our little one will never get married and stay by my side."

"What a bastard idea! How can there be a girl who doesn't marry? Old Li, you are afraid that the cabbage that you have raised for more than 20 years will be sent out today, and you feel uncomfortable?"

"Fuck you! Go sit down first, and watch how I deal with you at the wine table!"

Amidst the laughter and laughter with the guests, the daughter in new clothes with hairpins on her hair and the son-in-law who was obviously nervous to death walked in front of him.

"..."

"..."

The two men stared at each other for more than ten seconds.

In the awkward silence, my father snorted heavily, "Why are you standing there? Are you reluctant to toast me a glass of wine and call me Dad?"

"dad……"

"Boy, in front of so many guests today, I have something to tell you. Don't say anything, just listen to me."

The father glared at his son-in-law with a cold face, and then turned his attention to his daughter.

Stretching out his hand, he made a gesture like holding a cat: "Xiaoxiao was just this big when she was born. At that time in the delivery room, I thought this was my daughter. For the rest of my life, I want her to be safe and happy .”

"I watched her grow from the size of a cat, babbling and toddling, to the height of my knees, the height of my thighs, the height of her waist, and the height of her chest... For twenty-four years, I have worked hard, I didn't let her suffer the slightest bit of grievance, and she grew into such a slim girl. Now, I...I hand her over to you. "

"Boy, you remember. If my daughter suffers a little bit of grievance from you, as long as I can move, I will definitely not spare you!"

"Girl, you also remember. From now on, he will be your husband, and he will accompany you for the rest of your life. But don't forget that Dad is still here! I will continue to love and care for you for the rest of my life."

"We got it, Dad!"

"Also, after getting married... come back often."

"We remember, Dad!"

With the reply of the daughter and son-in-law, the lights on the stage changed accordingly.

Halfway across the stage, the lights dimmed. Father sat alone in the chair, as if his time had stood still.

On the other half of the stage, the lights were highlighted. The husband and wife said goodbye to work, the daughter adjusted her husband's tie, had dinner together, and a series of complicated actions such as the prop baby, as if time flowed faster.

The two scenes occasionally overlap.

The daughter and son-in-law came and went in a hurry, and most of the time, the father was staring at the phone in a daze.

The contrast between movement and stillness, the reflection of light and darkness.

After the daughter is married, the living conditions of the daughter and father's families are displayed in front of the audience at once!

One side is lonely.

One side is thriving.

At the end of the second act, on the dim half of the stage, the father who seemed to be aging rapidly.

The audience in the audience couldn't help it.

The father who obviously sat still in the chair, but was slumping under the accelerated life of his daughter, made many elderly audiences present inadvertently shed tears.

They seemed to see themselves!
