for thousands of fans

Bai Yeming came across this Weibo on the subway when he was out.As soon as he couldn't hold back, he clicked forward. There was no text, and he sent three consecutive [right humming].In the next second, he gained an extra fan. After clicking on it, Zhou Xingyu actually replied to him!In the blink of an eye, the number of followers increased by several hundred.Bai Yeming suddenly felt that holding Zhou Xingyu's thigh seemed like ten thousand fans were not impossible?

In the afternoon, he had an appointment with the crew's prop brother.The little brother's name is Zhao Bin, he is two years older than him, and it seems that he has something to ask him to ask him today.

They made an appointment at the coffee shop next to the Meixin Theater, and after the chat, they went to the theater to prepare for the evening performance.

Bai Yeming arrived earlier and chose a seat by the window, while Zhao Bin came very punctually.

"Wait for a long time?"

Bai Yeming shook his head and said, "It's not long since I arrived."

"Sorry, I'll treat you this time." The little brother is a very gentle and considerate person, and everyone in the crew likes him very much.I heard that he also has a very beautiful girlfriend who belongs to another theater troupe.Sure enough, there is a market for gentle people, Bai Yeming sighed casually.

They talked about some things at first, and then slowly got to the point.

"My friend asked me to find a guest performer, and I was in a hurry." Zhao Bin said, looking at Bai Yeming eagerly.

Bai Yeming understood instantly, but "One Night" hadn't ended yet, so he didn't have much energy to take on other tasks.

"The show will start next month, and now it's the rehearsal stage. The rehearsal is during the day, so there is no conflict. And the pay is also very good!"

The rewards are considerable. Bai Yeming loves to hear these four words the most!He immediately asked, "What kind of work?"

Zhao Bin introduced to him: "Have you heard of immersive theater? The actors and audience are in the same real space. The audience can watch the actors' performances up close and have the opportunity to interact with the actors."

Hmm... I seem to have heard...

"The Fei Leng Cui Hotel on Fushou Road has performances every day. Just a while ago, the crew decided to add a new branch line, which was the story of the shark. It was already almost scheduled, but suddenly an actor had a traffic accident and broke a bone. In order to lie down in the hospital, my friend asked me if there was a suitable candidate. You also know that it is difficult to find a suitable person for such an urgent job, so I asked if you would like it."

Bai Yeming was in a dilemma: "Next month's acting is really urgent. Today is already No. 14..." It is extremely difficult to grasp a character well and remember all the lines in a short time, let alone Bai Yeming He has never been exposed to immersive drama, so he can't guarantee to what extent he can do it. If he messes up, it's not a scam!

"My friend said that it's a small supporting role. You don't need to run back and forth to change scenes, just perform in one scene. And this kind of scene has no lines, it's all about body language. I think this is a good opportunity to exercise."

"I want to understand the content and characters first." Bai Ye said honestly, it's really difficult to proceed without knowing anything.

Zhao Bin laughed immediately: "No problem! I'll ask him to tell you in detail, and it's best to get a ticket for you to go in and experience it first!"

Zhao Bin moved very quickly, and made an appointment on the phone that day. The next day happened to be a weekend, and there was an afternoon show, so his friend agreed to bring Bai Yeming in to learn about immersive drama, and then find a place to talk about the show.

The Emerald Hotel staged the story of Shakespeare's masterpiece Macbeth.The play was first staged in the UK, and the new style of acting was widely acclaimed.Introduced to S City two years ago, I rented a building and completely restored it to a real space. The actors performed in this real space, and the audience followed the actors to participate in the story.

In addition to this main line, some branch lines will also be added, such as Hitchcock's movie world, Grimm's fairy tales, etc. After being introduced to China, there will be branch lines such as Chang'e Flying to the Moon and Romance of the West Chamber.These branch lines are more like surprise eggs, the main line will always be that one, but the branch lines will be updated regularly, which is also a motivation to tempt the audience to repeatedly brush.

Every audience who enters the story is required to wear a mask, and cannot speak, cannot take off the mask, and cannot hinder the actors from performing.

Under the dim light, after running up and down with the actors for three hours, Bai Yeming felt that his feet didn't even look like his own.But this way of watching dramas is addictive!

He can clearly see the performance of each actor, he is really close in front of his eyes, and he can even see the slight movement of their eyelashes clearly!

And convey emotion.Generally speaking, the audience and the actors of the drama are divided into two spaces. The performance of the actors is like being installed in a glass cabinet, and their emotional impact on the audience is limited.But immersive drama is different. When an actor cries in front of you, you can feel the sadness; when an actor roars in front of you, you can feel anger; when an actor smiles in front of you, you can feel the chills down your spine!

This also represents another problem - it is a test of the actor's acting skills and anti-interference ability!

When Bai Yeming watched the whole play, he was very satisfied, but at the same time he was very hopeless.He wasn't sure if he was up to the job, and he conveyed his uneasiness to Zhao Bin's friend truthfully.

Zhao Bin's friend is Xue Zhengqing, who is also a prop boy, a very cheerful and forthright person.When he met Bai Yeming for the first time, he showed a very familiar look. He patted Bai Yeming's shoulder and said, "Don't panic, listen to your role first."

Then, without Bai Yeming refusing, he introduced it.The side story, Merman's Tears, is actually a bit like the mermaid in Andersen's fairy tales.It is about a beautiful mermaid girl who fell in love with a poor scholar.The scholar's ambition is to obtain fame and become an official in the court, but he is too poor, so the merman girl weeps every night, and then sends the pearls made from her tears to the shore. Every day, the scholar can pick up valuable pearls to take To sell money, life will become easier.

One night, the scholar turned on the lamp to read at night, and heard crying, Xunsheng saw another girl, picking up pearls on the shore, the scholar misunderstood that she was selling pearls for himself, and was very moved.In contact, the two fell in love.Of course the shark girl knew about this and was very sad.But she couldn't let go of her love for the scholar. Just at this moment when the scholar was going to Beijing for the exam, the Merman girl turned into a human form and wanted to go to Beijing with the scholar.The scholar found her on the way, and only regarded her as a lovely younger sister.

Once the mermaids are deeply rooted in love and abandon their mermaid form, they will never be able to return to the sea, and their souls will disappear on the spot without a home after death.In the end, the shark girl gave her life and soul to save the scholar in a fire!

The character given to Bai Yeming is also a mermaid, a friend of the heroine.He is the witness of the merman girl from the beginning of her love to her love without hesitation and even giving up her life.He himself has gradually become yearning from the mockery at the beginning.

"The play is very simple, all on the beach. There are four scenes related to the story. One is the first weaving brocade with the heroine and then meeting a scholar. The second is that the heroine cries every night and he expresses his confusion and ridicule. The third is The heroine decided to transform into a human form to accompany the scholar to Beijing to prevent him from failing. Fourth, the heroine came to ask him for help when the fire broke out, and he stopped the failure and watched the heroine's soul disappear."

"In addition, this character will also intersect with the main storyline. I just said that he was infected by a mermaid girl and wanted to fall in love. At this time, he met the prince in the main storyline. The prince's father, the king, was just killed by Macbeth. , he came to the beach in a low mood, and there was a meeting scene. After that, he fell in love."

Bai Yeming frowned: "Wait, you said he fell in love with the prince? Can I, um, confirm his gender?"

Xue Zhengqing laughed and said, "What era is it! The audience can't see men having sex!"

"..." Can't refute.

"Afterwards, there will be an emotional scene with the prince. Don't worry, it's very pure! There won't be a big scale!"

"..."

"Basically like this. There are not many scenes, right? Apart from the above scenes, he basically weaves tapestry by the beach, just a resident NPC. Don't worry about the opponent scenes, everyone is experienced and will lead you, um, the key One problem is, just don't be intimidated by the audience, they might talk to you as if they were a staff member, lol."

"..."

"How about it?"

Bai Yeming thought about it for a while. Now that this job is over, he really has no next plan. This is also a good opportunity.The beggar is a solo performance, and this role has opponents and emotional changes, which is a good challenge, and the feedback from the audience is the most direct, although that is also what scares him.

Seeing his hesitation, Xue Zhengqing said again: "I went to see "One Night", and the beggar was very pleasantly surprised! Many people in the crew have gone to see it, and they are full of praise. You have to have some confidence!"

Even though he knew it was to encourage him, Bai Yeming was quite happy, but at the same time he was under a lot of pressure.After all, it was a small idea of ​​my own at first, and it was finally formed by the two great directors Chen Yige and Li Shirong. I am afraid that no one will remember him alone.

"If you still have concerns, why don't you give it a try first? Do you always believe in the eyes of professionals? If our directors and actors say you can do it, will you still refuse?"

Bai Yeming finally nodded in agreement.Xue Zhengqing breathed a sigh of relief as if he had accomplished something important.What Zhao Bin said was indeed correct. This kid was too lacking in self-confidence, so he needed a lot of affirmation from the outside world to help him build up his self-confidence.It's hard to get along in this circle like this.This time I was lucky enough to meet a great director, but if I don't change my temper, I'm afraid it will be easy to break up later.

The next morning, Xue Zhengqing took Bai Yeming to watch the rehearsal of the crew. The director was a very young girl named Fang Fang, who was not a few years older than Bai Yeming and looked about the same age as Bai Ya.She had heard Xue Zhengqing talk about Bai Yeming's situation earlier, and she also picked a time to watch "One Night". It’s from the director and crew, but as a rookie, it’s great to have this performance, not to mention that the role they are missing now is not an important role. Although it’s not good to say that, but really no one will pay attention to him. Just right.

Bai Yeming stood there nervously, watching the young female director scrutinize him from head to toe, feeling like a commodity up for sale.

"Yuanyuan! Come and have a play with the kids!" Fang Fang beckoned in another direction, and a loud "Okay!" came from a distance, and then a beautiful girl came over.The girl has a good figure and walks like a professional model.She has a face of a traditional beauty, with a melon-shaped face, red phoenix eyes and a cherry mouth. She has two dimples when she smiles, which is very cute.

Fang Fang introduced to Bai Yeming: "Our heroine, Ruan Yuyuan, can be called Yuanyuan, just two years older than you. You can also call me Sister Fang, we are very casual."

She said to Ruan Yuyuan who was coming, "Just the first scene."

Ruan Yuyuan smiled at Bai Yeming and said, "Don't be nervous, I'll tell you about the show first. Just cooperate with me."

In the first scene, two mermen are weaving brocade together. Seeing the scholar come to the beach, the merman girl falls in love with her at a glance and conveys this feeling to the other mermen.The other merman showed disdain and was not optimistic about the girl's relationship.

Ruan Yuyuan taught Bai Yeming how to move. Since there were no lines, all the scenes had to be conveyed by body language and facial expressions. At first, Bai Yeming had to follow her to learn the movements.This girl has a foundation in dancing at first glance, and her gestures are particularly light and moving. Bai Yeming has only learned physical performance, and she is a little stiff in comparison.

Ruan Yuyuan encouraged: "It's okay, I'm just giving you a demonstration, and then it's fine to do what you feel. You are a boy, and you don't move too much, so don't be too demanding on yourself."

The young lady trained her heart and soul for about twenty minutes, and it was time for the director to check and accept the results.During the whole process, Bai Yeming was very passive, he was pulled away by Ruan Yuyuan, like a puppet on a string, Bai Yeming experienced for the first time what it was like to be suppressed in acting!He also finally understood why they could let him play this role with confidence, because they were absolutely confident!

Fang Fang was very satisfied after reading it, and gave Bai Yeming a thumbs-up, but Bai Yeming's heart was very complicated, and a feeling called unwillingness sprouted in his heart, which made him very itchy and uncomfortable.What caused him to accept the job on the spot was not because of the self-confidence brought about by the affirmation, but because of something like the desire to conquer that was unwilling to admit defeat.

Fang Fang is also a straightforward person. After the two sides negotiated, they immediately took Bai Yeming to sign a performance contract.Immersive dramas are different from ordinary dramas. The performances are very intense. There is a three-hour show almost every day, and there will be two shows a day during holidays. There are 360 ​​five days a year. One character cannot handle it alone, so often Two or three actors will be arranged in shifts.This time, because this branch line has not yet opened, there will be only this group of personnel in the initial stage, and it will probably find another group of rotation after it stabilizes.So the contract is tentatively signed for three months, [-] to [-] games a month.The remuneration is calculated on a per game basis, one thousand per game, which is already the lowest price in the market.Because Bai Yeming is considered a temporary worker, the actors of the crew are paid by another salary system, of course it is only high but not low.

Afterwards, Bai Yeming pressed the calculator on his mobile phone, counting 18 games a month, that would be 12, and [-] in three months!If it can be successfully extended to one year, there will be [-]!Lose monthly expenses of [-], and save [-]!Huh?It seems that the debt can be paid off in one go!Still care about a Weibo fan!This is really a trap that fell from the sky!Bai Yeming was so happy in his heart that he felt light all over his body, and even walked lightly.

Because he was in such a good mood, he couldn't hold back and posted a nympho Weibo, with a picture of the exterior of the Fei Leng Cui Hotel, and the text was: The world is so beautiful!

He now has a certain fan base, even though most of them are Zhou Xingyu's fans, for the sake of Zhou Xingyu's face, many people follow him, and many people regard him as the same.

Waiting for the night's performance to start, he looked at his phone while giggling. The lady who made up looked puzzled and asked him what medicine he took by mistake today. He looked like he was in a spring, and he glanced at the phone and found that he was chatting with an account with Zhou Xingyu's profile picture. He asked, "Have you hooked up with a girl?"

That girl was just asking him if he wanted a new play?what is itCan I see it?

Bai Yeming was in a good mood, and answered them one by one. Of course, he didn't say the specific content. After all, it's not easy to give spoilers first.He didn't seem to understand the makeup lady's question, so he murmured a few "hmm".

The makeup lady saw that he closed this window and opened another window, which was also Zhou Xingyu's avatar, and thought, this kid is so good, Zhou Xingyu's fans dare to snatch it?How many more?I usually look cute and cute, but I didn't expect to be so good at flirting with girls!Immediately admire him with admiration and stay away from him.

When Bai Yeming clicked on another private message, chatted for a few words and found that something was wrong, the other party's tone was very blunt, not at all as enthusiastic as the previous girls, he glanced at the other party's profile picture, yes, it belonged to Zhou Xingyu.Is it male fan?But how does this tone sound familiar to me?do we know each other?

The chat message reads:

Opponent: Is there a new life?

Bai Yeming: Yes.

Opponent: What kind of life?

Bai Yeming: "Sleepless Tonight", an immersive drama staged every day at the Fei Leng Cui Hotel in S City.

Opponent: Oh.

Opponent: What are you talking about?

Bai Yeming: The main line is the story of Macbeth.

The other party: What about you?

Bai Yeming: A new branch, a fairy tale, no spoilers!

Opponent: Heh.

Opponent: When will it start?

Bai Yeming: The first day of next month, the first day of National Day.

Opponent: Good day.

The other party: I will go to see you.

Bai Yeming: ...Sorry, do we know each other?

other side:……

Opponent: You are finished! ! ! [angry][angry][angry]

that's all.

Bai Yeming was confused, thinking who is this person?It's weird, find time to ask Bai Ya if she is her friend?

When it was time for the performance, he turned off his mobile phone, forgot about it, and went to the performance.
