Zhuang He originally agreed with Tao Tang to go to his studio for an audition.
But on this day, he suddenly changed his mind and set the place at the Grand Theater of the Academy of Drama.
Xia Yu originally heard that this great director's scripts are never finalized. As long as there is a new spark of inspiration on the set, they will be modified on the spot. This kind of boldness and eclecticism is unique in the director circle.
banner.
This is very similar to the original Dai Chengbi, but what makes old Dai ashamed is that Director Zhuang is not only talented, but also has accumulated capital for decades. He has the qualifications to pursue himself and be willful, but he, Director Dai, does not.
Because Tao Xia's courtyard was quite far from the School of Drama, after receiving the news suddenly, Tao Tang also quickly changed his schedule. Before seven o'clock in the morning, he dragged Xia Yu and Meng Dong and set off.
After being stuck in traffic for an hour, it was already 8:50 when we arrived at the Drama School.
After checking the visiting list, Xia Yu and the others landed outside the Grand Theater of the Academy of Drama. Meng Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, okay, I caught up!"
Tao Tang patted Meng Dong and pointed at Xia Yu, "Your old Buddha family is not in a hurry, why are you so anxious?"
Only then did Meng Dong notice that Xia Yu was extremely calm, without any pressure from the audition, and had already begun to observe the campus of the Academy of Drama.
Xia Yu from the Imperial Academy of Drama was also here for the first time. Fortunately, Tao Tang was not here and was quite familiar with the Academy Grand Theater. He took Xia Yu and Mengdong all the way to the theater. There were no performances in the theater at this time.
But from a distance, you can hear a team rehearsing in the rehearsal hall——
Most of the lights in the theater were turned off, leaving only the lighting on the stage. There were not many people in the audience, except for a few teachers and students in the front row, and only two people in the middle.
Hearing the commotion, a tall figure in the audience stood up and waved to Tao Tang.
Xia Yu's eyesight was not bad, and he could tell at a glance that this tall figure looked 45% similar to Tao Tang. He thought he was Sister Tang's brother Tao Zhang.
There was another person sitting next to Tao Zhang. Needless to say, it must be the great director Zhuang He.
Tao Tang took Xia Yu to the row behind them and said hello to them, "Director Zhuang!"
Zhuang He is sixty-one years old this year, probably because of his bald forehead. He wears a dark black peaked cap and has a slender face. He is two or three years younger than what he appears on media and TV. His eyebrows are slightly convex, he is not angry and has a deep sense of dignity.
She glanced at Xia Yu, the young man who had allowed her to open the back door.
Xia Yu bent down deeply, "Hello, I am Xia Yu!"
He nodded slightly, showing no emotion or anger, "Well, sit down first and watch the rehearsal before we talk about the audition."
Tao Tang's appearance is also good, and his brother is not much different - the next head of the Tao family of Yueweitang, he is good at horns and blue and white, and is extremely famous in the Peking Opera circle. A few years ago
He has already won the Plum Blossom Award for Chinese Opera.
I stood up and did a quick comparison just now. I found that he is about 1.77879 meters tall. He has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He has a good appearance and a sharp outline. In the film and television industry, he is the perfect choice to play Guang Weizheng.
He also glanced at Xia Yu and nodded to her to express his kindness - after all, he was a member of his own sister's staff.
The two of them coincidentally looked at the "Pipa bag" behind Xia Yu. Zhuang He glanced at his proud disciple with a profound look in his eyes.
Xia Yu rarely watched dramas, but as one of the heirs of the Peking Opera family, Tao Tang was no stranger to dramas. Although they were two conceptual forms of performance, after a few glances, he told Xia
Yu, the rehearsal right now is the famous "Sunrise".
This work is written by the same playwright as "Electric Rain", "Wildness" and "The People of the Imperial City".
It tells the story of when Chen Bailu, who comes from an innocent family, unexpectedly becomes a depraved socialite supported by banker Pan Yueting. She yearns for freedom in her heart, but cannot let go of comfort and enjoyment. Under the devouring of dark forces time and time again, her parasitic banker goes bankrupt.
, she was no longer able to maintain a balance due to the struggle between her life and her thoughts, and was unwilling to compromise with the dark forces, so she chose to commit suicide by taking medicine before sunrise.
As Chen Bailu said the sentence, "The sun has risen, and the darkness remains behind, but the sun is not ours, we are going to sleep."
As she tore up the bill that Jinpachi paid for her, she lay on the sofa and seemed to see the sunrise.
Sunrise and sunset.
"Pah, pah, pah—"
The teachers and students in the front row applauded, and those in the back followed suit, whether out of politeness or involuntarily.
This was a rehearsal at the School of Drama. This time Zhuang He suddenly came to visit. The group of students were in a panic for a while, but after the overall rehearsal, it turned out to be pretty good. So when several teachers in front came to ask Zhuang He, Zhuang He also left.
Went down and reviewed it appropriately.
After all, he was once the dean of the School of Drama and is now China's top director. Being able to get his guidance is a great encouragement to the students. Soon, the teacher organized the students to disperse, and a staff member came over to temporarily stop them.
This rehearsal room is blocked.
To say that Zhuang He has no rules on the set, that's true. But in his daily life, he is also a meticulous person. He keeps the new movie he is filming very secret. Before the filming starts, he is determined not to let the outside world have any information.
of.
The group of people followed Zhuang He and sat in the first row of auditoriums in front of the stage. Zhuang He did not ask Xia Yu what he thought of the students' performance of "Sunrise". One was that Xia Yu was not a major in this field and had never rehearsed a play.
, the other one he was looking for was a movie actor, not a drama actor.
Today's performance was purely a whim, and it was even more unexpected to meet students from the School of Drama rehearsing a play.
After the place was cleared, Zhuang He looked at Xia Yu and the pipa bag placed on the seat next to her, and said with a smile, "Come prepared?"
It sounds like a question, but it’s actually a certainty——
Then he turned on his cell phone and turned around to receive a series of calls. It turned out that Zhuang He came to the drama school on a whim today, and his people had been waiting dryly in the studio all morning.
"I'm in the theater hall of the college now. You can come over now." After putting down the phone, the old man looked at Tao Zhang.
Tao Zhang understood what his mentor meant at a glance, and pointed to the chairs arranged by the staff in front of the auditorium, "Several audition teachers are already halfway there. While there is still some time, and you have brought another instrument, let's do a rough audition.
One shot, what do you think?"
As soon as Zhuang He heard what the student said, he knew that this brat was afraid that he would break his temper and talk to his sister. Otherwise, there was an audition plan but there was no real performance. He acted like this.
Pure and simple is to make sure of yourself.
He didn't show disrespect to Tao Zhang, but he just snorted and sat upright to see what tricks they could learn in three months!
Tao Zhang took out the camera he temporarily borrowed from his old classmate from his bag and set it up.
After adjusting, he said to Xia Yu, "When you've finished brewing, come directly."
