Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 327 Real Actor

As the highest temple of Chinese drama, the National Theatre’s regular training sessions are not open to the public.

However, as the scriptwriter of "Duds", Zhou Hao can legitimately observe the rehearsal on site.

After this period of practice, the rehearsal of "Duds" has basically taken shape and we can now begin the full rehearsal.

In order to welcome and thank Zhou Hao, the theater personally arranged an internal semi-public preview of "Duds Get Water" and invited many bigwigs from the theater to watch.

Mr. Huang, whom Zhou Hao had met once before, accompanied him personally. As soon as they met, he held his hand and chatted non-stop, which showed how satisfied he was with the book.

With the whistling wind in the background, the curtain slowly opened.

Three men and one woman sat around a simple little table, scratching their heads and thinking hard. On the crooked blackboard behind them were a few lines of chalk words giving information - the summary meeting of the first half of the eleventh year of the Republic of China at Sanmin Primary School.

A few seconds later, the quiet atmosphere was broken, and the blacksmith lifted the curtain and entered the stage, "I have fixed the wire of the donkey shed for you."

The pure Northeastern accent is funny and makes people laugh.

Kuishan: “Shh…”

The blacksmith lowered his head and sorted out his baggage: "Who will give me the money?"

Kuishan reminded quietly: "We are in a meeting!"

The blacksmith seemed not to hear clearly, "What?"

Kuishan raised his voice a little, "We're in a meeting!"

The blacksmith looked surprised: "Huh?"

Kuishan repeated again, "It's a meeting!"

The blacksmith suddenly realized, "Oh, a meeting..."

Just such a simple performance at the opening made Zhou Hao and Lin Xina feel ashamed.

The other three hadn't moved yet, only the blacksmith and Kuishan were asking and answering questions, and their lines were surprisingly simple, with a high degree of repetition.

However, in just this one scene, the two actors were able to use subtle little movements and logical adjustments in their lines to progressively express their respective states.

Great!

Especially Lin Xina, her ears felt hot from watching it.

What amazing lines, the pronunciation is clear and rhythmic, and everyone seems to have their own mixed voice effect, and you can hear them clearly without the help of subtitles...

In comparison, my own dialogue delivery skills were so poor that they were unbearable to watch.

However, as the plot progressed, these thoughts began to fade away and be forgotten quickly because she was completely absorbed in the drama.

Zhou Tienan, a straightforward man with a hot temper, the chubby and silly blacksmith, the hypocritical and realistic Principal Sun, the ruthless Pei Kuishan... these vivid characters connect the ups and downs of the plot, which makes people unable to stop watching.

But what attracted her most was Zhang Yiman, played by Yang Weihong, who wore a high-slit cheongsam with a small shawl, revealing her graceful figure.

Sister Yang is usually very low-key and seldom wears clothes that show off her figure, but once she put on the cheongsam, it was discovered that it was quite revealing.

Compared to his physique, what is more commendable is of course his acting skills and stage presence. Even though he had the least practice time in the entire crew, he still grasped the role firmly.

She portrayed a female teacher who looks charming but is simple and upright on the inside vividly.

For Lin Xina, this role also gave her another shocking feeling - the appearance of this character was too "exciting".

The way she dresses, the tone of her voice, the things she does... to put it nicely, she is charming, to put it bluntly, she is a bit slutty! In the current Chinese entertainment industry, few young actresses would dare to take on a role with this setting. It's not a question of whether they can handle the role, it's simply not a question of whether they can handle it!

Even if the actor himself is willing to take the challenge, the agency behind him will not agree. Even if the agency agrees reluctantly, the fans will definitely be the first to disagree.

What a joke! Do you still want to maintain your idol image by taking such a dissolute role?

Do you still want the endorsement?

You want it, right? Just go back to playing the role of a kind and lovely silly girl!
Staring at Yang Weihong's almost selfless performance on the stage, Lin Xina seemed to understand Zhou Hao's intention.

Maybe in his eyes, this is what a real actor is?
Within the limits of red lines and moral frameworks, I only choose plays, not roles, and I don’t pursue the absolute spotlight, nor do I pursue an absolutely sunny image…

Is this what you expect from me?

This scene of "Duds Get Water" lasted for more than two hours. After all, it was still in the rehearsal stage. Several minor problems occurred in the middle, but they were all perfectly resolved by the actors.

Seeing their ability to respond on the spot, and then looking at their stable performance for two hours in a row... it is easy to understand why these drama actors can achieve dimensionality reduction when they go out to act in TV dramas.

Basic skills don’t exist on the same plane!
At the end of the performance, all the actors came on stage to bow and thank the audience, and Zhou Hao immediately stood up and applauded.

This is applause from the heart without any human feelings.

Although there are some minor flaws, the merits outweigh the flaws and the acting is indeed good.

After all, the national team is very strong!

Yang Weihong's performance was especially amazing, it was so much better than the original actors he watched on Earth back then!
"Xiao Zhou, what do you think? Is there anything that needs to be improved?" Mr. Huang looked at Zhou Hao with a smile, "Don't be polite, just tell me if you have any opinions. This is the play you wrote, so don't blame us if you mess up."

If you take people's polite words seriously, you are immature.

Are you kidding? Giving advice to the national team?

Crazy!
Zhou Hao shook his head repeatedly, "It's already perfect. If you ask me to find it inadequate, you're embarrassing me."

Old Huang laughed loudly, his laughter full of energy.

I have to say, these drama actors are in really good health.

After the performance, several bigwigs in the audience came over to greet Zhou Hao and left their contact information with each other.

No matter whether it will be useful or not, it is a way to build up your network by keeping it in hand. Who knows when it may come in handy.
Old Huang was more direct. "Xiao Zhou, everyone in our hospital is very satisfied with this book. Do you have any other books?"

Wow, are you starting to take advantage of me right away?
Zhou Hao shook his head apologetically, "I've been so busy lately that I don't have time to write about that."

"What a pity..." Old Huang looked regretful.

"Xiao Zhou, I think you shouldn't waste your time writing online articles." A woman in her 50s suddenly said, "That stuff is not good enough to be put on the table. If you have that much time, you should write more good scripts!"

Fortunately, Zhou Hao managed his facial expression well, otherwise he would have frowned.

What the hell is this? Are you starting to develop a chain of contempt?

What happened to online literature?
Without the royalties from online writings, I would have starved to death long ago. Who would write high-brow stuff for you?

Old Huang also heard the strange meaning in these words. He turned around to glance at the man, then pulled Zhou Hao affectionately.

"Let's go, let's go eat, and by the way, let's talk about the issue of the profit sharing of "Mr. Donkey"..."
