The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Xiangbei stayed at home for more than ten days. When Zhang Chen went back one night, Lao Zhang quietly called him aside and asked him mysteriously:

"Do you feel that Beibei is a little strange?"

"What's wrong?" Zhang Chen asked.

"I asked him to make models with us, but he refused to do it. He likes to accompany the two old ladies all day long, going to the wholesale market and the vegetable market. Where can any man like to do this kind of thing?" Lao Zhang asked.

Zhang Chen said: "He is really bored and doesn't have much to do. He went to the United States at such a young age, and he didn't have many classmates or friends in Hangzhou. It turned out that he had been following Xiangnan, and Xiangnan went to Yongcheng. He was a good friend of his junior high school classmates. There is only one Sun Xiangyang. Sun Xiangyang is still in class and has no holidays. He wants to learn boxing from Xiao Wu, but Xiao Wu has been very busy and has no time at all."

Lao Zhang was right to think about what Zhang Chen said, but he still felt that it was not a good thing for a boy to follow an old woman to the vegetable market.

Lao Zhang said: "Even if this is the case, he should follow us. Here, you see, there are all kinds of jobs like carpentry, fitter, lathe, painter, and welder. Boys should not like to do this." ?”

Zhang Chen said with a smile: "I'm still worried that he won't learn to paint. What's the use of worrying."

Lao Zhang rolled his eyes at him, thinking he was unreasonable.

Two days later, when Zhang Chen came home again, Lao Zhang pulled him aside and said to him happily: "Do you know what Beibei did today?"

"Following two old ladies to the wholesale market and vegetable market again?" Zhang Chen asked.

"No, no, Beibei followed us to the Peach Blossom Spring today. Don't tell me, he can learn all the farm work like making ridges, digging trenches, planting vegetables, and fertilizing. He can do it decently. His grandpa and I I couldn’t believe it, but he said he would go with us tomorrow." Lao Zhang said excitedly.

Zhang Chen said: "Are you satisfied now?"

"Of course, it's our inheritance at first glance." Lao Zhang said.

Zhang Chen burst into laughter: "Then he doesn't even have to go back to the United States. He's doing such good farm work. He should follow his grandfather and go back to Chongqing to become a farmer."

Lao Zhang sighed, turned around and walked away, ignoring Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen said it didn't matter, but secretly he also noticed that Zhang Xiangbei was weird. Zhang Chen asked him not to go to the company or the construction site with him. When it came to going to the oil painting studio, it was even more... As if he wanted to chop off his head, he immediately ran away.

Zhang Chen saw him hanging out with the four old people all day long. He was not bored at all. He was both pleased and a little sad for Zhang Xiangbei. What was gratifying was that the old people must be very happy like this. What was sad was that this daily stroll Farming and growing vegetables are not things that a person of Zhang Xiangbei's age should love to do. If his life is so boring and uninteresting every day, why would he come back from the United States?

Fortunately, such days passed quickly. Sun Xiangyang was on vacation, Zhou Ruoyi was also on vacation, and then Zheng Xinxin also came back from Beijing for vacation. The four of them made an appointment to go to Yongcheng together to see Xiang Nan and the others. play.

Zhang Chen drove the four of them there. He also wanted to visit the troupe. He had promised Xiang Nan that he would help them come up with more ideas for the stage design of the new play.

This time, Zhang Chen did not stay at the Huanglong Moon Bay Hotel, but took Zhang Xiangbei and the others to live in Luotong Villa next to the Western Zhejiang Technical School. The troupe had moved to the Western Zhejiang Technical School, so Zhang Xiangbei and the others It only takes five or six minutes to walk from the hotel.

The hotel is named Shanzhuang, but it is actually on the riverside. When you open the window, you can see the clear water of Xin'an River outside. If you live on the first floor, it can be said that you can reach out and touch it.

The troupe has no performance obligations this summer, and its daily job is to arrange new plays from 8:30 to 11 o'clock in the morning and from 2:30 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

Most of the young actors in the troupe, except Xiang Nan and others, have families. In addition to arranging new plays, they also have to go home to cook. Fortunately, the dormitory has now been moved to the West Zhejiang Technical School, and the conditions are better than those in Wu. The troupe is a little better.

Zhang Xiangbei and the others are here. Xiangnan stays with Zhou Ruoyi and Zheng Xinxin at Luotong Villa every night. At noon, they eat in the hotel restaurant or the theater troupe’s canteen. In the evening, Xiangnan drives them home to eat. Otherwise Mrs. Tan will have objections.

Every morning at 6:30, when Xiang Nan got up, Zhou Ruoyi and Zheng Xinxin followed them stupidly, and the three of them walked to the Zhejiang Technical School together. When they arrived at the riverside, when Xiang Nan was babbling to the river, they The two sat in the shade of the tree next to them, leaning against the trunk and continuing to sleep.

There was a row of people here babbling, ahhhhhhh, and they were still sleeping soundly.

Xiang Nan smiled and cursed, "Why are you getting up? Can't you sleep in the room for a while?"

The two of them shook their heads and said that we are best friends and we must live and die together.

At eight o'clock, Zhang Xiangbei and Sun Xiangyang came wandering over, carrying flatbreads, deep-fried dough sticks, soy milk and fried steamed buns in their hands. Zhou Ruoyi laughed when she saw them and said, are you here to live and die together?

The two men nodded, and Zheng Xinxin cursed: "We died more than an hour earlier than you."

"Then what's the matter? If you die early and die later, it's not death anyway?" Sun Xiangyang said.

Xiang Nan and Zhou Ruoyi laughed wildly, and Zheng Xinxin rolled his eyes at Sun Xiangyang.

There were several other young actors hanging out by the river with Xiang Nan. Zhang Xiangbei and Sun Xiangyang bought a lot earlier, and Xiang Nan invited everyone to eat together. Several other people laughed and said to Zhang Xiangbei, "What do you think is the best thing to do?" It's good to come every day, so we don't have to go to the cafeteria for breakfast.

"That's right." Someone else yelled, "It would be better if the licking dog is there too, then it will be even more lively."

Xiang Nan glared at the person who said this, and the others burst into laughter.

The licking dog is talking about Xiaohu.

When Xiaohu comes, he usually appears in the rehearsal hall in the afternoon, carrying two large wide-mouth thermos bottles with various ice creams in his hands. In the rehearsal hall, the actors who are sweating profusely stop when they see him. The rehearsal crowd gathered around and shared the ice cream before continuing the rehearsal.

The sullen director wanted to get angry every time he saw it, but Xiaohu smiled and handed him the ice cream, which made him unable to get angry.

It's a pity that Licking Dog hasn't been here these two days.

Everyone had a lively breakfast and walked to the rehearsal hall together. When they arrived at the rehearsal hall, Zhang Xiangbei and Zhou Ruoyi sat on the ground against the wall, either reading, playing game consoles, or taking a nap. At first, they were still sitting upright. , within twenty minutes, he started to stagger around.

In the first two days, they were still interested in watching Xiang Nan and the others rehearse, but after two days, they realized that the rehearsals were really boring. They could memorize the lyrics by ear.

Rehearsing for drama actors is just like training for athletes. It is really a boring thing. They just do those actions, say those lines, sing those lyrics every day, repeat it over and over again, until the actor's brain goes numb. , began to doubt life, and the next day, it was still the same, doubting life again.

The purpose of rehearsal is to show your good side again and again, then fix it and rehearse it over and over again, turning it into a kind of physical memory and conditioned emission. Only in this way, no matter what your physical condition or mood is today, you will be able to go on stage. Only when you don't make mistakes can you show your level and be consistent.

Although that emotion is fake, you are always full of emotions once you are on stage.

Then, everyone's performance is brought together and becomes a collective subconscious, just like participating in a team competition in gymnastics. If one person's performance is wrong, it will bring about the overall failure. Rehearsal day after day , is to minimize this possibility.

A good actor, through rehearsal, can switch between "me" and "not me" in an instant.

The two actors were yelling and almost fighting when they were off the stage. They showed themselves vividly, but as soon as they got on stage, they immediately became a pair of close lovers. Although they were still thinking about strangling each other to death, their faces were already full of emotions. The smile is full of smiles and the eyes are full of emotion. At this time, you instantly enter the character and enter the "not me."

The rehearsal hall was renovated from the old hall of Zhejiang West Technical School. It has a very high floor and a large space. The top is lined with rows of log gables. In a house with this kind of structure, even if it is equipped with air conditioning, it will not be effective at all. No, there are only a few large ceiling fans above the head, whirring and blowing, bringing bursts of hot air.

Zhang Chen once suggested building a suspended ceiling for the auditorium and installing a few five-horsepower air conditioners so that the temperature in the rehearsal hall could be lowered.

Teacher Wu was strongly opposed to Zhang Chen's suggestion. He said that our troupe, when did we pay so much attention to rehearsals and need air conditioning? You know, when we go out to perform, not all stages have air conditioning. If we even rehearse so hard, If you can't stand it, will you not even be able to go on stage? Do you spend all your makeup as soon as you go on stage?

Tan Shuzhen herself is an actor, and she has a deep understanding of this. An actor, especially a dramatic actor in a costume drama like them, even if it is the hot weather, when he wants to go on stage, he still has to wear layers of clothes. Wearing a heavy crown and headdress, when he stepped off the stage, his whole body was dripping with water, and he almost collapsed.

But on stage, you still can’t be careless at all.

Tan Shuzhen also said forget it, it will only be more than a year, and it will be over if you persist. When you get to the new building, there will be air conditioning.

Xiang Nan and the others were rehearsing at the rehearsal venue. They were wearing a T-shirt on top and a pair of bloomers on the bottom. Soon they were soaked through. They arrived at the hotel at noon, took a shower and changed clothes before going to dinner. In the afternoon rehearsal, they were still all dressed up. Soaked.

The four people sitting on the edge kept the same rhythm as Xiang Nan. Even if they sat there without moving, they were still sweating. Xiang Nan looked at them and smiled:

"Why did you come here? Why don't you just stay in your room?"

Zhou Ruoyi giggled: "No, didn't we agree to live and die together?"

Zheng Xinxin said: "It's still better than military training."

Zhang Xiangbei and Sun Xiangyang were laughing on the side.
