my gilded age

Chapter 123 Our show is here, be serious!
Facing Yuan Hong, Bai Shiqiu actually wanted to say something about this aspect early on. Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance. Now arranging "The Piano of Steel" was like constipation, so he could talk about it.

"Brother Yuan, I understand everything you said. When it comes to drama, I also admire people who are good at drama, such as those teachers in Renyi, Teacher Zhang Tong, Teacher He Bing, Teacher Yang Lixin, etc. I admire them all. I have great admiration and respect, and I know that in terms of acting, it is really hard to compare to him."

When Bai Shiqiu said this, he changed the subject, "However, those teachers' plays are very good, but how many people know about them? Let's talk about Teacher Zhang Tong. Is his role on the stage of the drama remembered by many people? No. , what is remembered is the old editor in "Newsroom Story", and even the audience just remembers this role and doesn't know who played it."

Teacher Zhang Tong is a god-like figure on the drama stage, but not many people really know him.

Why did Bai Shiqiu talk about this old artist?
Actually, what he wanted to say was something else.

"There are so many teachers in Renyi, it can be said that they are all artists, but how many audiences? Let's talk about Mr. Zhang, how many people know him if he doesn't appear in "The Story of the Editorial Department"? We are different, our Red Star Production Co., Ltd. is not Renyi Well, Renyi is a state-owned unit, and the Capital Theater is owned by others. We are a private enterprise, and if there are fewer audiences, we will not be able to eat. What else can we do? The show is good, this is one aspect, but there must be a premise, let More people will watch it. Yaya is really not good at acting now, but it doesn't matter, as long as she looks pretty, this will allow more people to watch. At least we can eat our food first, and come again when we are full. Talk about art.”

Bai Shiqiu then added, "I don't mean that you don't have to worry about whether the play is good or not, just look at the face. Isn't it that we are rehearsing now just for the show? Moreover, it's not just about the face, just like me The dramas I did before, that and so on... To sum up the various methods, in fact, I am just trying to please the audience. If I can make money by doing this, I will do it. I am just a common person."

Yuan Hong listened without speaking, but just nodded.

Bai Shiqiu knew that even if he said this, it would be difficult to change Yuan Hong's mind. Yuan Hong is very persistent in acting. It should be said that he is not an old artist like Renyi. He is still better at hype and publicity. However, he still believes that art comes first.

In fact, the discussion on this topic will become more intense in more than ten years, because at that time, a new thing called Xiaoxianrou will appear.In fact, little fresh meat has always existed. Today, Bai Shiqiu can also be said to be a little fresh meat. In the drama circle, isn't he just a pink and tender little fresh meat?

What Bai Shiqiu said just now can actually be used in later generations, it is basically the same.

In the play "The Piano of the Steel", no matter it is a play or a movie, Bai Shiqiu wants to make money. He really wants to pass on something, and wants to do something for his hometown and the people there, but he knows better, we This show must make money. If it makes money, it will mean that more people will watch it. If more people watch it, doesn't it mean that it will be spread more widely?

There is no contradiction at all.

In the original movie "The Piano of Steel", Xiaoju was played by Korean actress Jang Shin-young. At that time, the Korean Wave was in full swing, and she obviously wanted to ride on the popularity and gain more box office.

It is precisely because of this that Bai Shiqiu used such a beautiful Yaya. He was really not fascinated by beauty, and there was also Tan Weiwei. He was ready to work harder on music, but the difficulties he had to face were more than He imagined it was much bigger.

On the stage, the two heroines are playing against each other.

"When did you come back?"

"Don't you know when I will come back?"

"Stop! What is this line about?"

"As for you, didn't I tell you that it was better just now? Why can't it still work?"

"Boss, this... I am really..."

Tan Weiwei's play came, and as a real heroine, she had to let go of her job as a resident singer in the bar to serve the boss' play. As a result, the boss' face was very ugly.

The lines are really bad, and it's just rehearsal now, this girl is like a robot, she can't even walk.

"Didn't I give you acting lessons before?" Bai Shiqiu was very annoyed.

According to the current progress of rehearsals, if our "Steel Piano" can really go out to perform and make money, it will probably be until the end of the world.

Tan Weiwei is also fierce enough, "I don't know how to act in the first place! You insisted on forcing me..." As he spoke, he lost his confidence, because he immediately thought that the boss in front of him was not an ordinary person. But him.

In fact, Tan Weiwei is about the same age as Lao Bai.

"Come again!" Bai Shiqiu still wanted to try.

However, after a dozen times, everyone felt like they were going crazy.

"No more acting! I don't know how to act!"

As a result, Tan Weiwei gave up her choice.

"What are you doing?" Bai Shiqiu's expression changed. He originally appeared to be older now, so the effect of such a scare was immediately apparent.

"Woooooooo..." Tan Weiwei was so scared that she cried.

In fact, the main reason is the accent problem. Tan Weiwei is a Sichuan girl, and now she has to play a Northeastern girl. She is really awkward. In addition, there is a lot of pressure on this stage.

Tan Weiwei had actually filmed a TV series before, but she was just a walk-on. Now that she is asked to be the heroine, it is still a stage play. The pressure on the stage is much greater than in front of the camera. After all, if the performance is not good, you can start over.

What now?
"Brother, why don't you let me try?"

Just when the atmosphere was very awkward, Wan Qian, who had been watching from the side, came out.

Seeing Wanqian coming out, Tan Weiwei was the happiest. The girl stopped crying immediately, and ran over directly, holding her hand, "Sister, you are so kind."

This move made everyone dumbfounded. We all want to act but can't get it.

"..." Bai Shiqiu didn't speak, he was actually thinking about this issue, and there was a key point in it.

But someone was more decisive, and Liu Lu immediately agreed, "Try it first."

"Yeah, let's try it first."

"That's right, try it."

Many people agreed. It was really hard for Tan Weiwei to mess with her before, and it was impossible to watch that girl's drama.

Bai Shiqiu can't help it, so let's try.

Let’s try this scene, it’s a scene between Xiao Ju and Shuxian.The heroine Shuxian is the woman Chen Guilin likes in the play and is also a career helper. Chen Guilin forms a small band with a group of people, and Shuxian is the lead singer and mainstay.

So, when these two people meet, sparks fly.

There was no time to change into costume, so Wan Qian simply found a small coat and put it on, then sat on the chair where Tan Weiwei was sitting before. This was a prop.

Bai Shiqiu is on the side, and he has a line in this scene.

"Why are you here?"

Xiao Ju appeared, ignored Chen Guilin, walked to Shuxian's side, smiled and said, "Where did you get the clothes? They are very nice."

Chen Guilin also had to add, "This costume."

Shuxian stood up and said, "Hey, when did you come back?"

"Don't you know when I will be back?"

"Looking at you like this, you're doing well." Shuxian still had a smile on her face.

Xiaoju on the other hand smiled, "It's not bad, I'm a little better than you."

Up to this point, both Wan Qian and Aiya have performed very well. Aiya has already done this countless times before, so even if her acting skills are poor, she is still very familiar with it at this time. As for Wan Qian, It was a real effort, and the smile from before was still pretty good.She smiled a little awkwardly and felt a little embarrassed. After all, she was currently dating Xiaoju's husband.

However, this is not the key, the key is the next look.

Two women, one of whom is an ex-wife, said "better than you", what about the other one?
The smile that had been there before suddenly changed its color. Shuxian snorted, then swung her arms, and the coat fell off, as if she was about to fight.But he didn't just deal with Xiao Ju, he turned around and glared at Chen Guilin, and then left.

"Okay!" Bai Shiqiu was stared at by this look, and he shouted "Okay" at that time.

Why?

It should be, that’s how it should be done.

Immediately, Bai Shiqiu did not forget to educate the girl, "Hey, do you see, this is called acting!"

I have to say that Wan Qian turned her head and glared, which was the finishing touch.

This glare contained a thousand words, it was indeed great.

But Tan Wei only listened and simply laughed, "Then let this sister play the heroine."

This girl really has no fighting spirit.

"..." Bai Shiqiu's nose was about to become crooked in anger again, "Then who will sing?"

Yes, that's the key.

In our play, Shuxian, the heroine, has to sing. She is the lead singer by profession.

Tan Weiwei was very smart at this time, "Can I just sing in the back while my sister performs in the front?"

Hey, this method is too bad for her to come up with!

Bai Shiqiu was so angry, "Hey, you don't want to give you the heroine, and I won't give you another chance in the future!"

Tan Weiwei continued to laugh, "I was originally a singer, what kind of heroine do I want, haha..."

When everyone heard this, they were helpless.

This girl is too demotivated.

However, I found a solution, which can be regarded as a perfect fusion of acting and singing.

In fact, Wan Qian can also sing, but not that well. Tan Weiwei's acting is terrible, but singing is indeed her strength.

It's not bad to deal with it like this.

We still have to rehearse this play, right?
Next, the key role will appear.

"Come, take a look at this piano your dad made."

"Can this be played?"

"Why can't you play it?"

"It's silent."

"Sound, watch Dad play it for you."

This "The Piano of Steel" mainly revolves around the piano. Chen Guilin and Xiaoju have a child named Xiao Yuan. Zhang Meng's naming level is probably not very good. He probably named it after Chen Yuanyuan, and this child is learning piano. Chen Guilin also wants his children to learn piano, but there is no piano at home. What should he do?
The clever Chen Guilin took a wooden board, a large piece of white paper, and a writing brush, and made a piano keyboard. Naturally, this thing made no sound.

However, Chen Guilin has a trick, don’t we still have something to say?
Come on, come on...artificial intelligence piano.

Originally, this episode was quite sad, as the father and daughter enjoyed themselves in spite of hardships.But don't forget, the person who plays Xiao Yuan is Xiao Reba. This little girl is really awesome.

Bai Shiqiu was talking about output, but suddenly, with a bang, Xiao Re slapped the 'piano keyboard' hard.

"What a piece of shit!"

Not to mention, this Northeastern accent is quite authentic.

But this play...

"You girl, what do you want? Can't you be considerate to your father?" Bai Shiqiu couldn't help but followed the scene and left.

As soon as these words came out, Bai Shiqiu felt wrong, but Xiao Reba made it more interesting.

"You're not my dad! Huh!" After saying this, he walked away like a little adult.

Hey, Bai Shiqiu wanted to strangle that little girl to death for this play.

But when you see it, how can you not be happy?

"Hahaha……"

"Xiaore, good job!"

"The same goes for Lao Bai's pairing"

Not many people can make Bai Shiqiu feel deflated, and it is indeed rare to make him feel deflated like this.

So why is this?

I saw Xiaoreba coming to the side of Aiya and other girls, "That uncle is so bad, he knows how to bully the sisters."

This……

"Hahaha..." The laughter became even louder.

Bai Shiqiu had never encountered such an opponent before, so he could only shout awkwardly: "We are rehearsing this drama! Please be serious!"

Suddenly, it occurred to me that this phrase seemed familiar. A teacher from Renyi used it in a certain movie.

This scene was already difficult enough, but it turned out to be a bunch of guys who were not easy to worry about.

Our "Steel Piano" seems destined to move forward in difficulties.
