Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, I became a legend in the entertainment industry by avo
Chapter 67 marks the debut of a character with spoken lines.
When Zhang Qilin saw the two bags handed to him, he waved his hand:
"Thank you for your kindness, but I can't accept it. Please take it back and share it with your friends."
Shen Ya was not surprised when she heard this.
Many newcomers are shy and embarrassed to accept gifts from fans when they first become popular.
To this end, they have long since developed a step-by-step persuasion process.
Shen Ya put both bags back on the ground and pointed to the bag of fruit, saying:
"This is a small token of our appreciation to thank the other actors for taking care of you. It's not that you're accepting a gift; it's just us passing on our goodwill. If it's inconvenient for you to accept it, we'll have to find a way to deliver it directly backstage."
"It might disturb the teachers' work. If you bring it in, it will save us trouble and allow the teachers to enjoy the fruit sooner. Isn't that a win-win situation?"
Zhang Qilin met Shen Ya's insistent gaze, knowing that if he didn't accept it, they would really find a way to send it in themselves.
That would affect the backstage preparation work.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Ya took out a beautifully wrapped small envelope from the gift bag:
"These aren't anything valuable, just some handwritten blessings and handmade cards... You wouldn't refuse them, would you? That would hurt the feelings of the person who made these little gifts."
"Take it, take it!"
The other girls also gathered around, chiming in with their own suggestions.
"Otherwise, we would have carried him all this way for nothing!"
"Exactly, look how red our hands are from being bound!"
Zhang Qilin noticed that there was nothing particularly valuable about it.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, he reached out and took the two bags:
Thank you.
The girls smiled victoriously after Zhang Qilin accepted the gifts.
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Shen Ya immediately urged:
"Oh dear, it's getting late. You should hurry up and prepare for the performance, don't let it interfere with important matters."
"Good luck with the performance!" the round-faced girl couldn't help but say. "We'll all be watching from the audience!"
The other girls also waved:
"come on!"
"We'll just watch the show quietly."
Zhang Qilin smiled and nodded at them, then turned and walked towards the backstage of the theater.
Seeing Zhang Qilin leave, Shen Ya looked at the others:
"How much longer until the others arrive?"
The short girl looked at her phone:
"We should all be here in about half an hour. There are very few seats in the small theater; we managed to snag most of the tickets, but there are only a little over a hundred..."
……
Zhang Qilin walked into the backstage area carrying two bags; the place was already bustling with activity.
The backstage area was filled with the smell of paint and hairspray.
The actors were either applying makeup in front of the mirror or reciting their lines in hushed tones, and occasionally the sound of the props team moving the set could be heard.
He opened the bag of fruit and invited everyone to taste it.
Upon seeing the fresh fruit, everyone was initially surprised, and then thanked Zhang Qilin.
As Zhang Qilin distributed the goods, he explained with a smile:
"It was a gift from a fan, who said to invite everyone to try it."
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but cast envious glances at him.
Many of the actors in this production have worked at the Beijing People's Art Theatre for many years.
However, he had little fame, let alone received gifts from fans.
Chen Xu was eating a banana, but his eyes were fixed on Zhang Qilin, who was handing out fruit.
A complex emotion spread through his heart.
Why am I not the one who's become famous?
Ever since Zhang Qilin became famous, he has been living in constant fear that the other party's fans will bring up the incident of him stealing a role from him.
He barely slept for the first two days, constantly checking related discussions.
He only breathed a sigh of relief when he found that things had calmed down and no one seemed to be mentioning the old story.
When he saw Zhang Qilin distributing gifts from fans, he couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy.
Why do all the good things happen to him?
At this moment, the stage manager shouted:
"Ready to go on stage!"
Upon hearing the supervisor's words, everyone began to get busy, and Zhang Qilin also went to a corner to put on makeup.
He played several minor roles in this film with one or two lines, and his makeup was relatively simple.
Ten minutes later.
"Act One, get set," the stage manager announced in a low voice.
Cheerful music began, and the stage lights came on.
The small theater space is compact, and the audience and actors are almost touching, with even the slightest changes in their expressions clearly visible.
This facilitates interaction between actors and the audience.
Tonight, all two hundred seats were occupied.
A series of barely suppressed rustling sounds came from the audience.
Many girls suppressed their excitement, as this was their first time seeing their idols so close up.
Under Shen Ya's organization, they would give each actor an encouraging round of applause as they went on stage.
The performance proceeded smoothly.
The music changed, and Zhang Qilin came on stage.
He played a waiter with only two lines.
The moment he stepped onto the stage, the atmosphere in the audience subtly changed.
Almost simultaneously, all the girls who recognized him raised up the banners and light sticks they had prepared.
Hundreds of palm-sized light boards and the LED lights on the back of the support banners lit up at the same moment.
It illuminated the entire audience area.
Against the dim backdrop of the theater, a star field appeared that shone only for one person.
Their eyes followed the moving figure on the stage, and they restrained their noise, trying not to disturb Zhang Qilin's performance.
But he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes as he gently shook the light in his hand.
As soon as Zhang Qilin stepped onto the stage, he noticed the sea of lights, and he was only slightly taken aback.
He quickly adjusted and got into the role of a waiter.
He walked up to the two lead actors, bowed slightly, and wore a professional smile.
"Welcome, esteemed guests. Do you have a room reservation?"
When Zhang Qilin spoke, his voice was deep and clear, yet every word was distinct.
That wasn't an ordinary voice.
These short lines are the most direct manifestation of a stage actor's basic skills.
Breath, resonance, articulation, rhythm, and character portrayal are all present.
This is also the result of Zhang Qilin's more than a month of continuous extra training.
This is a resonance chamber seemingly formed by the chest and nasal cavities, giving each syllable a full magnetism and just the right amount of resonance.
The final note dips slightly, yet retains an upward elasticity, like a feather gently brushing against the listener's eardrum, bringing a comfortable tingling sensation.
The fans in the audience were all entering a theater for the first time.
They had seen Zhang Qilin's recent interviews, and his voice sounded normal.
I came to see the play this time solely to admire Zhang Qilin's good looks up close.
After the performance began, the other actors simply thought it was alright.
But when Zhang Qilin delivered that line in a theatrical voice, many people forgot Shen Ya's warning and couldn't help but gasp in surprise:
"Wow……"
"Oh my god."
"That voice...it's so beautiful!"
"It was worth it, really worth it."
"It was just a very ordinary greeting, but when he said it, it made you feel like you were enveloped in gentleness."
This sound brought them a completely new understanding.
It turns out that stage actors are really different from other idols.
This unique experience also instilled a sense of pride in these fans.
Look, this is our idol, who came from the stage.
Even Shen Ya, a professional fan, was secretly surprised.
She has collaborated with many idols, most of whom speak in a soft and gentle voice.
This was the first time she had ever heard a voice as captivating as Zhang Qilin's.
With that kind of voice and good looks, wouldn't she be a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry?
A thought unconsciously popped into her mind: should she take a gamble?
But when she thought of the boss behind her, she hesitated again.
We need to plan carefully and persuade the boss to get along peacefully or even cooperate with Zhang Qilin.
That would be the true way to maximize her benefits.
