Master of Chinese Opera

Chapter 21
At the end of December, two days before New Year's Day, I led all the cast and crew to rehearse "Kite Mistake" on the stage of the school auditorium. The exhausted Shen Yuelou was just about to go back to rest when he suddenly received a call from Lin Sinan.

"Mr. Shen, are you free to come to our Yanjing People's Art Drama Club this afternoon?

Let me tell you a good news, all the actors of the drama "Returning on a Snowy Night" have been recruited, and all the props involved in it have also been produced.

Now, Mr. Feng, Mr. Li and I are preparing to hold a script reading meeting. We will gather together to sort out the script. Do you have time to come over this afternoon? "

"Script reading?"

Upon receiving Lin Sinan's invitation, Shen Yuelou nodded and sighed softly, "Okay, Director Lin, I'll be there right away."

Half an hour later, Shen Yuelou took a taxi and hurried to Yanjing People's Art Drama Club.

Familiar with the door and the way, walked into Lin Sinan's office, only to see that it was already full of people.

"Haha, Teacher Shen is here."

Seeing Shen Yuelou walking in, Lin Sinan hurriedly stepped forward to introduce him one by one: "Let me introduce to you, this is Feng Zhengyuan, a veteran actor from our Yanjing People's Art Theatre. He will be in "Returning on a Snowy Night" "People" as Dean Su Hongjisu.

This is Su Jin. She debuted as a singer, and later became an actress across the border. In the past two years, she has performed well in many film and television dramas. Her acting skills are superb. She will play the role of the fourth concubine Yuchun Role.

This is Mr. Li Ganlin from our theater company, he will play Wang Xingui, and the two actors next to him are Li Rongsheng and Xu Fucheng..."

Su Jin?

Isn't she the lead actress in the short film "Spirit Fox" that she is about to star in?

This is really a coincidence.

However, it seemed that she didn't know about her participation in the "Spirit Fox" short film.

That's right, even though I and she acted as the lead male and female lead in the "Spirit Fox" plot short film respectively, they are not in a relationship in the film, and can even be regarded as rivals in love.

Walking slowly to the front, I looked Su Jin up and down, and saw that she was about 28 or [-] years old, with almond eyes, willow eyebrows, a cherry mouth, and a small melon-shaped face. The very expected body is more uneven.

With such gorgeous clothes and her mature figure and melancholy temperament, it looks like a fireworks woman.

"Mr. Feng, Mr. Li, Mr. Su, hello, my name is Shen Yuelou, and I play Wei Liansheng in this drama."

After taking a deep look at Shen Yuelou, Feng Zhengyuan nodded lightly: "Yes, indeed, as Director Sinan said, Mr. Shen has a strong temperament of a famous actress in the Republic of China."

"I heard that Teacher Shen is also the playwright of this play. You wrote this play really well.

In the future, if Su Jin's performance is not good in any of the scenes with you, please criticize and correct me. "

Walking up to shake hands with Shen Yuelou, Su Jin's face was full of humility and admiration.

She has always admired talented people, and she will not look down on them just because they are young or not famous enough.

After exchanging a few pleasantries and getting to know each other, Lin Sinan asked everyone to sit around and read the script paragraph by paragraph.

Li Ganlin started first: "Oh, so brother Wei is hiding in the background?"

Shen Yuelou looked back and smiled: "But everyone who comes here is not looking for quietness."

"Hey, who made our boss Wei so red!"

……

This year marks the [-]th anniversary of the founding of the No. [-] Middle School Affiliated to the Huaxia Academy of Opera. It coincides with the anniversary and New Year's Day. Therefore, the school leadership team decided to make this party a special event.

Not only did they invite a number of Liyuan celebrities to come to the school to celebrate New Year's Day, they also reached a cooperation with the Yanjing Opera Channel to broadcast the event live.

At 05:30 in the afternoon, before the party started, more than 2000 students and their parents from the Second Affiliated Middle School entered the school auditorium in an orderly manner under the leadership of the teachers of each class.

The stage for this New Year's Day party was chosen to be set up in the school auditorium, naturally because the school auditorium is large enough to accommodate 3000 people.

Shen Yuelou sat behind the stage, looking through the curtain at the crowds in the auditorium, but his heart was always as calm as water, without any ripples.

He has seen many such scenes.

At the shallow mountain temple fair, there were a total of [-] spectators.

Some of them stood, some sat, some rode on the trees, and some people yelled twice from time to time to make trouble for themselves...

It's not like the group of three-good students in the Second Affiliated Middle School who are so orderly. They can control the scene by themselves, so this party is naturally no problem.

"Mr. Shen, I'm so nervous, my hands are shaking, what if I fail when I go on stage?"

Zhao Xiyu and Lin Xiaolin sat around Teacher Shen, their voices trembling when they spoke.

They are just ordinary middle school students, they have studied drama for a long time, and their abilities are not bad, but they lack stage experience.

Seeing the black heads underneath, their hearts started to jump in their throats.

Gently patted the two of them on the shoulders, Shen Yuelou encouraged in a warm voice: "It's okay, when you get on the stage and enter the scene, you will completely forget about your nervousness and just think about how to play this character well." up.

Remember, those in the audience are not real people, just treat them as flowers, plants and trees.

Also, don't look down the stage, if you are too nervous and can't find the focus, just look in my direction, and I will help you get into the drama. "

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Shen, with you here, we will have more confidence."

While the few people were talking, there was loud noise, and a piece of Qin opera was already sung on the stage.

After the rough and unrestrained Qin opera, the next program is a graceful Kunqu opera with elegant dictionaries and delicate performances.

After Kunqu opera, Yue opera and Huangmei opera were performed. After these interlaced performances, the main axis of the Peking opera department will be staged.

"The next program is a joint play of the Peking Opera Department - "Kite Mistakes".

Performers: Shen Yuelou, Zhao Xiyu, Lin Xiaolin, Wu Dongsheng, etc...

Next, please enjoy their performance. "

A dignified-looking campus hostess hastily left the stage after the curtain call.

After the curtain call was over, the host quietly left the stage, the stage lights were turned on, the curtain opened, and Shen Yuelou was the first to appear on stage.

Dressed in a blue scarf and raw clothes, the clothes are simple and plain, and he looks handsome and elegant.

"Wow, this handsome student is so handsome. I wonder which class he is from?"

"Not a student, he seems to be a teacher in Class [-], Grade [-]."

"Teacher? You are so young!"

"Teacher Shen is so handsome."
