Chapter 41 The Spirit of the Beijing People's Art Theatre: "One Vegetable"

In order not to affect the actors going on and off the stage, Zhang Qilin deliberately chose a position a little further away from the entrance.

Hearing the stage manager's urgent shouts, several people looked up at the television set hanging on the wall.

On the screen, Wu Gang, who plays Tang Tiezui, is shouting at the top of his lungs, each note more urgent than the last:

"Grandma Kang, Grandma Kang..."

Song Dandan's heart skipped a beat, and she realized with a start that it was her turn to go on stage.

She had already finished her makeup, and seeing that she had plenty of time, she strolled leisurely from the dressing room to the stage.

Passing by Zhang Qilin, I saw the boy studying diligently backstage and couldn't help but offer him a few pointers, which unexpectedly made me miss my turn to go on stage.

"Oh my god," she exclaimed, before she could finish speaking, she had already turned around and run towards the stage without touching the ground.

Da da da……

This was the first time Zhang Qilin had ever seen a senior colleague, nearly fifty years old, run so fast.

On the television screen, Tang Tiezui called out to Grandma Kang several times, but no one responded.

The extras sitting at the tea table exchanged glances.

Someone picked up their teacup and took a sip, while someone else naturally picked up the conversation.

"Brother, how is your wife's health lately?"

"I'm doing well, taking care of the kids at home. How's your wife?"

"She was just mentioning a few days ago that she wanted to invite my older brother over for a casual meal sometime..."

In just a few words, the brief silence was filled with casual conversation among the tea drinkers.

Until Song Dandan's clear voice pierced through the screen:

"Here I am!"

On the stage, several tea drinkers who were chatting idly almost simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

Liang Guanhua, who plays Manager Wang, casually draped the rag over his shoulder and replied with remarkable ease:

"Oh, Grandma Kang, you've finally arrived! Tang Tiezui has been calling for you for ages."

A single line of text explained the situation and erased the brief silence of those few seconds.

Zhang Qilin watched intently in front of the television screen.

The teachers on stage reacted in perfect unison.

It wasn't something that was rehearsed beforehand; it was an instinct honed over years of stage experience. The play couldn't be interrupted, and the atmosphere couldn't be dull.

Even if it's just a few seconds of gap, it should be filled in the most subtle way possible.

He Bing stood behind Zhang Qilin.

"See that?" His voice was low, but with a smile. "That's what you call 'one dish'. No matter who makes a mistake on stage, others can immediately cover for them and make up for it, so that the play can continue smoothly. A good stage is not a solo performance, but a performance where everyone 'lives' in the same world together."

Zhang Qilin understood that in order to gain a foothold in the Beijing People's Art Theatre, in addition to studying character biographies and practicing basic skills such as dialogue rhythm, he also needed to improve.

On the real stage, one must not only complete one's own performance, but also have the awareness to consider the overall situation and the ability to support the play at any time.

When Song Dandan finished her part and walked off the stage from the side, her forehead was still covered with fine beads of sweat.

Zhang Qilin immediately went to greet him, his voice sincere and clear enough for everyone around to hear clearly:

"Teacher Song, I'm so sorry, it's all because of my guidance that I delayed your performance."

He took the matter upon himself, with his own ideas in mind.

Firstly, I am truly grateful for Teacher Song's guidance.

Secondly, I am just an intern. Even if the Beijing People's Art Theatre really wants to investigate, how severe can the punishment be?

It would be better to take the responsibility upon yourself; this would not only save Song Dandan's face but also gain her favor.

Unexpectedly, Song Dandan paused slightly upon hearing this, then waved her hand:

"I offered to teach you because I saw how hard you were working, and it took up a lot of time. It was my fault for not timing it well, so I can't let you take the blame."

Before Zhang Qilin could say anything more, Song Dandan continued, her tone gentle yet clear:

"A mistake is a mistake, you don't need to take the blame for me."

Seeing this, Zhang Qilin said no more.

Unexpectedly, Song Dandan said to him again:

"Xiao Zhang, can I borrow your pen and notebook?"

Zhang Qilin quickly handed over his notebook and pen.

Song Dandan walked into the dressing room next door, sat down at the table, and began to write in her notebook.

Zhang Qilin leaned closer to take a look.

The title reads:

A letter of self-criticism.

Zhang Qilin asked in confusion:

"Teacher Song, is it necessary to write a self-criticism for this?"

Song Dandan wrote and explained at the same time:

"At the Beijing People's Art Theatre, veteran actors must set an example. If they can't even do it themselves, how can they teach the younger generation?"

After listening, Zhang Qilin nodded silently.

After Song Dandan finished writing the letter of self-criticism, she posted it on the small blackboard in the corridor.

……

Zhang Qilin returned to the courtyard at 10:50.

Zhang Qilin sat down at his desk, opened "Dream of the Red Chamber," and began researching information on the computer, sorting out the relationships between the characters.

After some time, he stretched.

I glanced at the time in the bottom right corner of the computer screen.

23:50.

An hour has passed, and only a little over half of the biographical sketch has been written.

Based on this calculation, it would take at least ten days to clarify and thoroughly understand the main characters and their relationships in the entire book.

It's not slow under normal circumstances.

But what he lacks now is time.

He wants to star in "The Grand Hotel Suite".

You must master the lines within a month and gain the approval of teacher Feng Yuanzheng.

To master the lines, he had to thoroughly analyze all the characters in the book.

How can we speed up the analysis of individuals?

Thinking of this, he calmed his mind and focused his spirit.

In my heart silently:

"award"

[Passerby Popularity Fate Fragment +3]

[Accurate simulation of destiny fragment +1]

[Temporary Dialogue Memory Acceleration +1]

[Temporary Empathy Magnetic Field Talisman +1]

[Temporary Detail Reversal Talisman +1]

[Temporary Camera Sense Capture Talisman +1]

His eyes quickly scanned the area, finally settling on the detail recall talisman, and a thought flashed through his mind.

[Temporary Detail Reversal Talisman]

Use this when studying the script and understanding the character to perceive and capture those easily overlooked character details in the script...

Looking at the description of the [Temporary Detail Reversal Talisman], Zhang Qilin silently recited it without hesitation:

"Activate the Detail Rewind Talisman"

As the talisman was activated, he felt a cool sensation spreading from between his eyebrows, slowly seeping along his nerve endings.

A dreamlike feeling welled up inside him, as if he were in a wondrous realm where time and space intertwined, enveloping his entire being.

It possesses an indescribable clarity, as if it can penetrate all appearances and reach the essence of things.

His consciousness gradually became ethereal, yet incredibly focused.

When he looked at the words in the book again, the characters seemed to be infused with a soul, shimmering with a faint light, and began to slowly move and combine, as if reconstructing a real world.

Every character seemed to come alive, leaping before his eyes, and those subtle details that he had previously overlooked now appeared clearly one by one.

He was originally analyzing the classic scene of Wang Xifeng's first appearance, where "her voice is heard before she is seen," focusing on the lively and impressive atmosphere of "her laughter is heard before her lips are opened."

At this moment, the talisman drew his gaze to a few lines of text that would normally be easily overlooked.
