I'm really a military art school grass, don't laugh!

Chapter 97 Actor Confirmed!

Shen Yi looked up and down the other party's appearance and temperament, seeing that the other party had completely entered the state of drama at this time, so he said without talking nonsense:

"I think I know why you didn't introduce yourself. Just by seeing you now, I already know who you are trying to play."

"Can we start now?"

The visitor nodded and began to perform directly:
"I've watched "New Youth", but lukewarm water is not strong enough."

Shen Yi nodded and said, "Brother Yucai please enlighten me."

"First, you advocate vernacular writing, but you yourself write in classical Chinese and semi-vernacular Chinese, still holding a pipa and half covering your face."

"Secondly, to promote the popularization of vernacular, there must be works that are popular among readers. I think that writing novels in vernacular is the best way to popularize vernacular, but you just don't have this kind of content."

"And the third most important thing is that you keep saying you want to crusade against the three cardinal principles of Confucianism, but what you are talking about are all big principles, and you don't have a deep understanding. Works without image thinking, it is impossible to touch people's souls!"

The man's voice was not high, but it was extraordinarily powerful. This kind of strength was not a confrontation in a quarrel, but a confident rebuke to Fang Qiu.

Because there is something in the words, everything will be sonorous and powerful.

Just now, the two of them also talked about how hard it is to find an actor who can match the image of the public, but they didn't expect to meet one at this time!
"Not bad, the audition is over, can we have a normal chat?"

After watching the other party's performance, Shen Yi applauded lightly and joked.

"Hi, teachers. My name is Zhang Lei. I'm an actor and I'm 42 years old this year. I've written all the works that are a little bit famous in my resume."

After slowly walking out of the play, the man's attitude also changed a bit, and he introduced himself with a slight bow to the two.

The actors in the front, Shen Yi and the assistant director were actually sitting quite comfortably on the chairs, but in front of this one, the two of them involuntarily stood up and bowed back at the same time.

Most of the previous Peking opera or other operas had an unspoken rule or rule, that is, not to talk to the actors playing Guan Gong.

As an actor, his own performance is also very strict. Whenever he plays Guan Yu, he must abstain from sex and sex a few days before acting.

Ever since entering the backstage to put on makeup, and had to keep her mouth shut, her first voice must be on stage.After the performance, burn incense and worship, "unload the general".

Whether it's superstition or inheritance for thousands of years, everyone in the troupe knows this rule.In addition to playing Guan Yu, the same is true for other plays with mythical characters.

For Shen Yi, in fact, he prefers to refer to this kind of rules as a kind of respect and attention to the roles played by actors.

I can feel average about you as an actor, but you are playing Guan Gong, and I respect the role you play.

To be honest, no matter how the previous actors acted, neither Shen Yi nor Deputy Director Wang had such a unique feeling.

On the one hand, they knew that the other party was just an actor, and on the other hand, it was because the previous ones were indeed a little different in their costumes.

However, when it came to this one, they clearly knew that the other party was just an actor, but the inexplicable charm really made the two of them really unable to accept this ceremony calmly.

"In his 40s, his age is basically the same as Mr. Zhou Shuren's age at that time, and his appearance and temperament...how is it very similar?"

Shen Yi turned around and asked the staff behind him, and immediately saw everyone nodding along, all of them agreed with surprise:
"It's like... It's almost the same as Mr. Zhou Shuren I imagined."

"Well indeed."

"There is a special kind of unpretentious literati temperament."

"Thank you, thank you." Zhang Lei nodded lightly in thanks.

Shen Yi smiled and said: "I watched the performance just now, and I think many of the small details and movements are special... How should I put it, it's suitable, and it's all very natural and special to you."

"Is it convenient to ask you? Did you take over the role of Mr. Zhou Shuren before, or did you not miss your homework?"

"Well, there are both. Mr. Zhou's hometown actually holds this Lu Xun Cultural Festival occasionally every year or in normal times."

"There was a period of time when the drama didn't make any money. When I was kicked out, I went to work part-time, playing the role of Mr. Zhou, organizing or performing some related cultural appreciation and promotion work."

"Later, after acting a lot, I gradually became more aware of and curious about Mr. Zhou. I dare not take it as homework, but I did a lot of related learning work after I did it."

"In an accidental performance, I also met Mr. Zhou's grandson, Mr. Zhou Lingfei. I really benefited a lot from Mr. Zhou's chat."

"Oh......Did Mr. Zhou Lingfei praise you for your resemblance?" Shen Yi asked curiously.

"It's true that I mentioned that, but maybe my husband mostly encouraged me. In fact, I still feel that I am a lot worse."

Zhang Lei nodded and explained, following the conversation with the two, he gradually stepped out of the audition characters a lot, and his voice and personality also relaxed a little.

"That's right. If you have such an idea, there is still more room for improvement. Are you a native of Kyoto?" Shen Yi smiled and said in satisfaction.

"No, the director. I graduated from Shanghai Opera. After graduation, I mainly developed in the south. This time I also came here to make planes. If it doesn't work, I will fly back at night." Zhang Lei shook his head.

"Hehe, then I have to regret to inform you of bad news. After you pass the audition, you can go to the staff to sign the contract with your ID card and other documents. You may have to refund the return plane ticket."

Shen Yi looked at Zhang Lei and joked with a smile.

"Um... I just... passed it, don't need to study it later?" Zhang Lei pointed to himself, a little afraid to believe it.

"You don't need to look at it, it's you. Go find the staff and sign the contract. Before the filming starts, you need to hurry up and do further study and role research. I hope you can continue as you said. Work hard and pursue further perfection."

Shen Yi nodded with a smile and encouraged without any hesitation.

"Well, thank you to the two directors. I will continue to work hard to integrate into the role when I go down."

Zhang Lei waved his fist excitedly, then bowed and walked out of the room quickly.
