Chapter 159 Zhuangzi and Huizi·Part [-]
Qiao Yi looked at the name on the caller ID, and quickly answered, "Teacher Huang?"
"Xiao Yi, are you busy these days?" Huang Lei asked directly.
Qiao Yi thought for a while, the film will be ready in a week, and if the filming starts, it should be ten days later, so he said, "It's okay, Teacher Huang, is there anything I can do for you?"
"Yes, didn't you keep telling me that you want to try acting in a drama? It just so happens that I have a small public welfare drama here. I have been rehearsing for a while, but one of the leading actors suddenly had an accident. Let's see how you feel." Interest or not. The time is not long, just a drama of more than two hours."
Huang Lei roughly talked about the situation, and then said: "If there is no problem, I will recommend you to the director."
""Zhuangzi and Huizi"?"
After listening to Qiao Yi, he thought for a while and said, "Mr. Huang, I have no problem personally. I have to ask Aunt Tang first. Also, I'm a little tight on time."
"Don't I know how fast you recite your lines? Okay, you go ask her and I'll wait for you to believe it." After Huang Lei finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
"A drama?" Gu Ruobai asked.
"Yes, Mr. Huang said that it is a small drama of a public welfare nature. It is estimated that there will only be one or two performances. Now there is a shortage of actors. Ask me if I want to save the scene." Qiao Yi told the truth.
"If there's only one performance, it won't take too much time. Adding rehearsals, it will only take three to five days. It's not a problem if you go and perform." Gu Ruobai nodded. She also knows about the drama.
Qiao Yi didn't delay here either, and went to ask Tang Min immediately.
After asking, knowing that it was Qiao Yi who was asked by Huang Lei himself, Tang Min naturally agreed without saying anything. He just said: "If you decide to star, don't deal with it casually. You must know that now your Many people are watching every move.”
Qiao Yi nodded, naturally knowing this.
Since the release of "The Unknown", in addition to the exaggerated box office results, this new director's film won a series of film awards at some film festivals at the end of the year, including awards for new director, screenwriter, male lead, and female lead. , and a nomination for Best Director.
Therefore, Qiao Yi suddenly became a popular fried chicken in the director circle from a traffic star who mixed in variety shows, singing and acting. Many investors even waved checks and asked Qiao Yi to direct the play.
After all, a director who can bring back several times or even ten times more income to investors, and is not the kind of director who is a semi-classic director, no one will ignore him.
Also because of the bonus of the best screenwriter, before the filming of "Langya Bang" was finished, the novels of "Langya Bang" had just been released for a few days, and the TV series had already been sold at a high price, creating another one or two. Record.
Therefore, the current Qiao Yi has stood on the cusp of the storm, in a state of not advancing or retreating, and a group of people are staring at him, and when he guesses wrong, they will ruthlessly hold on to him.
Speaking of this drama, if it wasn't for Huang Lei's recommendation, it would be impossible for Tang Min to agree, because it is too risky.
But since Huang Lei said it, it shows that the risks are controllable, and if Qiao Yi plays the role, the advantages will outweigh the disadvantages.
With Tang Min's consent, Qiao Yi replied to Huang Lei and went to the drama center that afternoon.
Because time was tight, the show was about to start on the weekend, so Qiao Yi came to save the scene. After a brief introduction, he got the script and joined the rehearsal directly.
Zhuangzi and Huizi are taken from the passage "Zhuangzi and Huizi Traveling in Haoliang" in "Zhuangzi Qiushui".
Of course, the script of the play not only borrows such a sentence, but the whole story also revolves around the core of the debate between Zhuangzi and Huizi.
It's just that the times have fallen behind modern times.
Creativity comes from a photo.
In the middle of a dry river bed, the carcasses of fish cracked like mud.
The background is because of a large-scale drought in the south in spring.
A difficult one, P Plus support.
The disaster in the south was serious, and most of the people were living in a difficult situation, so the whole of China was mobilized to support the people there.
As a dramatist, the only thing we can do is to use the form of drama performances to express our solidarity with them and support them with the income from drama performances.
So Qiao Yi acted in this play for free.
This time, when Qiao Yi told Huang Lei that he wanted to act in a drama, he had already explained it.After all, with his current appearance fee, ordinary drama crews really dare not invite him to act.
Speaking back to the play "Zhuangzi and Huizi", the story is about Zhuangzi and Huizi who came to the modern society, standing on the bridge of the river in those days, seeing the river dry up and social changes, what happened A series of dialogues and emotions.
The style shown in the whole drama is also the way of experimental drama.
Absurd, exaggerated, atmosphere rendering.
Specifically, avant-garde theater, narrative drama from Brecht, and theater of the absurd are regarded as experimental theater, and these alternative theater genres are collectively called avant-garde theater because of their radical attitude.
Experimental drama has a strong appeal because of its bold use of expression techniques that subvert traditional drama. pursuit, etc.
Generally speaking, it must be avant-garde, performance art with humanistic sentiments, highly ideological, expressive and appealing, and at the same time have a strong entertainment effect.
Only in this way can it attract the love of young people and let this part go to small theaters.
After three days of intense rehearsal, Qiao Yi's performance also conquered the other actors and directors of the drama group, and then the drama began.
Because of Qiao Yi's temporary joining, there were too many audiences who came to the play this time, and those who simply liked the play almost couldn't get tickets.
So I temporarily changed to a larger theater, but it was only a venue that could accommodate 1 people.
It's exactly eight o'clock.
Amidst a burst of applause, the stage went dark.
The applause died down and became quiet.
On the stage, two beams of light.
On the left side of the stage, a long-haired girl spoke slowly: "I, the water of Haoliang, has flowed from that year to today. There are fish scales shining in my body. I like them because they make people I feel full."
On the right side of the stage, a tall and thin boy: "I, the beam of Haoliang, yes, you guessed it right, it is the bridge, a bridge that dare not decay by itself because of a conversation between two boring people. Hmph! Ha ha!"
Hearing this, the audience also laughed.
Hao Shui: "Sometimes I would rather stay alone in the middle of the night, like a hungry bat hanging upside down from the dusty eaves, the summer grass planted in the wilderness grows wilder, covering all the lost paths you have stepped on with your heart, those who left behind The dark night that I only enjoy has become lighter, and the moonlight all over the field can no longer reach the tree where you once stood... The cold is like the warmth of spring, holding on to the unwilling dead leaves, and the longing from the depths of the earth... …The north wind played the lament that only belonged to this winter, and all the dreams that had been extended to the extreme fell one after another, like thousands of snowflakes falling apart..."
Haoliang: "No more, no less. I always slow down all beautiful things by half a beat. Most of the winter passed, and it was the first time I noticed the withered white flowers on the corner of the table. For a moment, the flowers that had been wailing all day long The winter wind suddenly stopped, and the last bit of wind that squeezed into the crack of the window was caught off guard, awkwardly hovering one step away from me... The night sank to the bottom of a lake that was quieter than death, and an old clock on the wall forgot the time and was speechless. Silently, I am helpless in such an encounter in Yin Hong's figure. Should I give it a lonely hug, or talk about winter from a relatively distant distance?"
Hao Shui: "I once refused to use the past to describe everything, just like I refused to use if to earn a perfect dream. I once longed to see your rebirth, just like I longed to witness your death!"
Hao Liang: "That day the mountain wind was too cold and the mountain road was too slippery. The first snow forgotten under the porch was as lonely as a red wall and cold alone. I remind you to use a name that is about to be forgotten. You remind me that the world of mortals is too thick with your footprints that have already faded. The karma is too thin..."
Hao Liang and Hao Shui: "One or two strangers walk by slowly, one or two street lights are as stubborn as me, one or two lonely shadows only want to stay in the coldest and deepest long night..."
A long poetic monologue, combined with two beams of light on the stage, and two people, suddenly let the audience into a certain atmosphere.
A thousand-year-old time prison.
The lights dimmed, and the director on the side of the stage saw the silence in the audience, knowing that the beginning had been successful.
Qiao Yi and the other leading actor Qin Long looked at each other and walked from the side of the stage to the center of the stage.
On the other side, six actors also came up.
At this time, there was movement in the auditorium. It seemed that someone wanted to shout, but due to the occasion, he didn't shout.
Zhuangzi, played by Qiao Yi, pointed at the six actors: "Look, Keiko, those fish are swimming freely, without thinking about work, promotion and love, how happy they are!"
The six actors acted like no one else: "Work? Promotion? Love? I just ate a grass prawn, grassy, a bit fishy... and a bit heavy metal? Well, it looks like I just finished a concert..."
Keiko, played by Qin Long, shook his head and laughed: "Old Zhuang, I have to talk about you. You are not that fish, how do you know it is real happiness?"
The six actors crooned: "I'm not really happy, my laugh is just the protective color I wear..."
Qiao Yi smiled confidently: "Of course I know. My undergraduate psychology teacher told me that when the No.20 seven scales and 1 scales on a fish shine together, then he is happy. Oh yes, I My college psychology teacher, before becoming a teacher, was a fisherman!"
The six actors looked at each other.
Then one by one, they looked down at the scales on their bodies, counting them one by one, because they were afraid that the number would be messed up, and then they counted and removed one piece: "The first piece, the second piece, the third piece..."
When Qin Long saw this, he was stunned: "Maybe it's just that the two scales just met the right angle of refraction. It's like two lonely windows of a high-rise building that are lit at night, just because their owners have to work overtime!"
Feng Yan shook his head: "In most of China, tall buildings are rising from the ground like weeds after the spring rain. Those dark windows may be just because there are no people. Oh, speaking of fans, you know, I have never been as willing as I am today. A house in a state of disgrace!”
Qin Long was dumbfounded, and looked in the direction of the six actors. At this time, the six of them were still moving their scales, as if they didn't feel any pain, and they were quite envious: "In this way, it seems that they are really Happy!"
The six actors plucked their scales while singing in a low voice: "I am not truly happy, my smile is just a protective color I wear..."
Feng Yan: "That's right, as long as the earth doesn't stop revolving and the sun doesn't go out tomorrow, they will live in the water forever, and they don't have to repay the mortgage or pay the rent."
Six actors: "Wow! Water, lots and lots of water, grass shrimp, shrimp and river shrimp, come, come, come to my mouth! The same river, the same dream!"
Off the stage, everyone burst out laughing when they heard the most familiar words.
In the auditorium, the eyes of those picky drama lovers lit up.
interesting!
Look again!
The plot advances quickly, because of the absurd style, Zhuangzi and Huizi, together with the happy fish and Haoliang Haoshui, together with the fisherman by the water, ask Zhuangzi's two doctors, the king of Chu, all appear in the current urban background In the story, it talks about the bewilderment of the friendly era, but it gives people a strong sense of shock.
The audience in the audience watched with gusto, and the actors on the stage felt very serious.
Among the people who came, except for some of Qiao Yi's fans, the rest of the audience were basically drama fans, so the appreciation of the dialogue drama was enough.
Besides, at the venue of 1 people, most of the people who come here are those who have some knowledge of dialogue dramas, and they are not pure whites.
Coupled with some familiar and popular memes, it will trigger bursts of laughter from time to time.
Time passed quickly, and two hours passed in a blink of an eye.
And the last scene.
Almost no one left, and it could be seen that everyone was quite interested.
Qiao Yi and Qin Long, who were preparing in the background, smiled at each other, knowing that this drama has already succeeded more than half!
"Brother Yi, I will leave the rest of the time to you!" Qin Long's voice was very soft, but also very heavy.
The last scene was almost Qiao Yi's one-man show.
There are long monologues.
As for this scene, in the past few days, after returning home, Qiao Yi did not know how many times he had performed it against the mirror.
The lines and emotions have already penetrated into the bone marrow.
At this point, the stage for the final act was also ready.
Qiao Yi stepped onto the stage first, and Qin Long took a step behind, looking at the fallen actors on the stage, like fish trapped in time, struggling feebly.
The Hao water is gone, and the Hao beam is standing at a slant, as if it is about to decay.
And in the center of the stage, the only set appeared: a huge painting, on which was a dry and dead fish on the ground of a dry and cracked river bed.
The dry eyeballs, the struggle before death was fixed in place, all of these violently impacted people's minds.
On the last day of the month, two chapters of original scripts will be delivered!Ask for a monthly pass! !Ask for a reward! ! !
