The agreed hero has no CP

After lunch, the rehearsal continued.

When the rehearsal ended in the afternoon, the director Wei Ai told Gu Qing not to leave after eating, but to go to his office to discuss something.

Gu Qing guessed that Wei Ai had already found a solution to the problem, so he finished his meal excitedly and curiously.

When we arrived at the director's office, Wei Ai asked Gu Qing to sit down and said straight to the point: "Director Cao helped contact Yanjing Third Hospital and asked if there are a few people who can be volunteers. The hospital has already agreed."

"Volunteer?" Gu Qing opened his eyes wide, showing a slightly surprised expression.

The hospital that would let actors go to be volunteers is also related to the drama "Is Mental Illness Happy?" It must be a mental hospital.

And Gu Qing wants to act as a patient with split personality and neuroticism, which is probably the most indispensable thing in a mental hospital. The patients in it are simply the most realistic and perfect template.

"Great." Gu Qing nodded after thinking it through, but, "How many people?"

"Yes," Wei Ai replied, "It's not just you, there are several actors with important roles, including me, everyone has to do a field investigation, lest we make this play too fake and full of flaws. You know Gu When Mr. Shao wrote the script, he also volunteered in a mental hospital for a long time."

"Yes", Gu Qing agreed in a deep voice.

"How's the timing?" he asked next.

"Every Saturday, change one day of rehearsal time to one day of volunteering until the premiere of the play." Wei Ai replied, obviously he had already considered all aspects.

"it is good."

This incident is also a great opportunity for Gu Qing to hone his acting skills.

The joys and sorrows of little people, the journey of extraordinary people, and important moments in history, these three are the most popular factors in various award selections, and they are also the plots that most test the acting skills of actors.

Gu Qing has played heroic characters with awe-inspiring righteousness, and trivial ordinary people in the city. Lu Shen and Lu Sen are undoubtedly one of these extreme roles.

If he plays well, his professional level and reputation in the industry will be improved; I want to step into the drama world.

What an opportunity and a challenge.

After talking with director Wei Ai, on the way home while driving, Gu Qing couldn't help sighing as he thought about it.

After that, Gu Qing still lived the life of an office worker, but the place where he clocked in on Saturdays became Yanjing Third Hospital.

He has benefited a lot from being a volunteer in the hospital. Real mentally ill patients can't tell the difference from ordinary people from their appearance.

Some of them also have their own organization and logic, and even occasionally speak surprisingly, and say some words that are very philosophical after careful consideration, which makes Gu Qing fall into "what is normal? Are we really normal?" and so on. In similar thinking.

But in the final analysis, the logic of philosophy is a mess.

Gu Qing couldn't think of a reason for life, society and the world, so after a period of time, he gradually stopped exploring what those mental patients were thinking.

Therefore, he also intends to abandon his usual "experiential" performance method for the play "Is Mental Illness Happy" and instead perform it in an "expressive" way.

After all, if he really fully understands and enters the mind of the protagonist with dissociative identity disorder, then he himself is not far from being insane.

For Gu Qing, acting is an inseparable part of his life, but it is not the whole life.Getting cancer once and dying once is enough for him to learn how to cherish his life.

Time passed day by day, and the three-month rehearsal time was still a bit rushed for a 100-minute play, so the closer it was to the premiere, the busier the actors and all the staff were.

During the rehearsal the night before the premiere, Gu Qing could already feel the tense atmosphere.

On the second day of the premiere, this atmosphere was completely concrete. The backstage was full of busy people walking around, as well as the voice of conductors shouting.

Gu Qing put on makeup and changed clothes, and waited on the sidelines with deep breaths again and again, his palms were wet with sweat.

At 07:30 on time, the audience had already entered and took their seats, the host announced the curtain, the curtain opened, applause sounded, and Gu Qing stepped onto the stage step by step.

A whole play, loud or whispered lines, big or small strides, arms waving, laughter.

It wasn't until the end when Gu Qing walked off the stage that he finally came back to his senses and heard waves of applause from the audience.

The old saying "one minute on stage, ten years off stage" is true.As soon as he stepped on that stage, Gu Qing didn't think of the acting skills he had learned and the characteristics of the characters he had summed up. He wasn't even Gu Qing at that time, he was just Lu Shen and Lu Sen.

He became the Lu brothers and sisters for three months, and then expressed himself on the stage for [-] minutes, expressing his emotions, emotions, and thoughts, everything was so smooth and natural that he couldn't even remember that he was on stage. acting.

It seems that I am still an experienced person who cannot change, Gu Qing took a deep breath with a smile at this thought, and sighed.

Before he could even catch his breath from coming off the stage, Feng Ping with makeup and hair came to him, "Gu Qing, we have to go to the curtain call." Feng Ping shouted from a distance.

Gu Qing responded and walked over, only to find that he looked excited when he got close, "Hasn't the curtain been pulled down?" He asked.

As soon as the play is over, the actors bow, then leave the stage and the curtain falls. This is a standard procedure. Why do they go up to the curtain call again at this time.

"Let's go, you'll know later." Seeing him coming, Feng Ping turned around and left without saying a word, and Gu Qing had no choice but to follow him onto the stage again.

When the curtain was drawn back, Gu Qing realized that all the audience had stood up from their seats, and the applause never stopped.At this time, the actors came on stage again, and the applause became more enthusiastic.

Gu Qing turned his head and glanced at Feng Ping, seeing the bright smile on his face, he laughed too.

After bowing again for the curtain call, Gu Qing stepped off the stage together with the other actors, but this time he did not go far, but stood by the stage.

Listening to the audience's applause continued, the smiles on everyone's faces did not fade.

After the seventh curtain call - Gu Qing didn't want to admit that he was counting time and time again in his heart, even the director Wei Ai went on stage twice before the audience gradually dispersed.

When Gu Qing took off her make-up, changed her clothes and walked towards the parking lot with her assistant Xiao Fang, there were only staff members left in the theater.

The two got into the car, Xiao Fang drove, he sat in the back seat, took out his mobile phone and called Li Lang.

After connecting, Li Lang's first words were: "Ah Qing, your friend Zhou Xing is too reliable."

Gu Qing acted the whole scene, and after the excitement dissipated, he is still exhausted now. He leaned on the car seat and didn't have much energy, but he was amused by his words, "That's how you feel after watching the whole play."

Today, Gu's father, Gu's mother, Gu Cheng, and brother-in-law's manager Li Lang all came to the theater to watch the play.After all, it is the premiere performance, and it is an old custom to give some family tickets to the actors and staff, and acquaintances are also welcome.

"My feeling is that the play is very good, and the applause for so long can prove it. After the applause, I couldn't help but thank the friend who introduced this play to you in my heart. He is simply the noble person you hit." Li Lang was excited The voice came from the phone.

Gu Qing was amused by his tone of voice, laughed for a while, and then said: "Okay, that's fine. I was nervous before going on stage, maybe I'm going to blow it up, and now I feel relieved."

"It's more than just rest assured!" Li Lang shouted impassionedly, "You must be excited. Tomorrow morning, there will definitely be media news that the premiere of Gu Qing's play was a great success, and the audience will not leave after seven curtain calls." Ah Qing, we've done a great job at this step."

Gu Qing laughed, "Brother-in-law, if you buy me a draft, don't use this title, it's too substandard." He cheered up and teased Li Lang.

Gu Qing also knew that although it was a risky step for him to act in a drama, if the performance was successful, he would gain a lot.

And this harvest is not the easiest to get fame and fortune in the entertainment industry, but the invisible affirmation and recognition that is the most difficult to achieve.Not to mention how the older generation of entertainers with considerable status in the circle think of him, but in the eyes of passers-by, his reputation for acting skills and drama has finally been confirmed.

You must know that he is only 23 in this world.Young actors, especially actors in their early twenties, have a lot of good-looking and pleasing faces, but not many have commendable acting skills, let alone compare with the old actors in their thirties and forties. Such a person, no matter how many stars are shining in the era, can't survive the slap count.

And in the entertainment industry, if you have what others don't have, then you will be just around the corner.

What's more, those recognized acting schools in the circle who are not in their fifties or sixties are still not short of acting.Gu Qing can now think of the scene when he was over 50 and still sweating on the set.

It's really a dream scene, isn't his biggest wish in his previous life just to be able to act until he dies.

"Do you still need a draft? Your Weibo is almost overgrown, have you taken care of it? If I hadn't asked Xiao Fang to log on to your account and switch to the Weibo of the National Art Theater a week ago, your more than 100 million followers Who knew you were going to act in a drama, maybe some people thought you were low-key and retired from the circle." Li Lang didn't know where he was poked, and even the sarcasm excitedly raised a tone, like a cannonball.

"Haha" Gu Qing laughed dryly, feeling that he was also inadvertent, and the good topic was transferred to this place.

Fortunately, Li Lang didn't talk about it anymore, the two chatted about their future schedule, and thought about Gu Qing's future acting career for a while, then said good night as the end of the phone call.
