Chapter 46: Only Four Lines
The costume script "Tenderness" that Huang Yingying got tells a short story about the heroine who, on her wedding day, discovered that her husband had eloped with another woman and could not bear the blow and wanted to jump into the lake on the spot.
The heroine Si Se is played by Huang Yingying, and her counterpart is the heroine's personal maid Xiao Cui, who is also the role played by Dong Yue.
This scene does not have any macroscopic worldview. It is just a very common and clichéd story, which mainly tells the story of a maid trying to dissuade the young lady from committing suicide.
The most outstanding part is probably the actors' emotional expression.
According to Mr. Wang, melodrama is what best reflects an actor's acting skills and foundation, and it is what best shows an actor's plasticity and tolerance.
As for the cold-hearted female knight Leng Yue played by Ruan Meng...
There are only four lines in the entire play...
The first sentence -
"Quarrel!"
The second sentence -
"Death is too easy."
The third sentence -
"Are you angry at yourself? Or at the other person?"
The fourth sentence——
“Not worth it…”
This was also the reason why Huang Yingying was not surprised at all when Ruan Meng mentioned that she had memorized her lines. However, she did not expect that Ruan Meng meant all the lines and plot outline when she said memorized.
So, when Huang Yingying, who had completely let go, gave Ruan Meng some pointers on how to bring in her own emotions, Ruan Meng, who had already begun to imagine another world in her mind, immediately shouted to start.
In the early morning, beside the Yunling Lake in Yunling Mountain, which is like a fairyland on earth, the swordsman "Lengyue" embraced his sword, leaned against a big tree and closed his eyes to rest.
It was not until she heard footsteps one after the other that she opened her icy cold eyes and looked at the two women who were quarreling.
"Miss! Please go back with Xiao Cui! Let's go back and ask the master and the mistress to make the decision for you!" The timid Xiao Cui cried and pulled at Si Se's clothes.
When the woman in wedding dress, called 'Si Se', heard the word "make the decision", a smile uglier than crying suddenly appeared on her face: "Make the decision for me? Xiao Cui, you are too naive!"
The reason why she married into the Wang family was because of her good stepmother. Who could she count on to make the decision for her? Her father who loved her younger brother?
No, no one can help Si Se, no one can!
Suddenly, Si Se, feeling hopeless, plunged into Yunling Lake with a determined look on her face.
"Xiao Cui" was frightened when she heard the plop and fell in as well.
Leng Yue, who was forced to listen to the whole process, glanced at the master and servant who were struggling in the water. They still did not move, and the indifference in their eyes remained the same.
It was not until the two people's bodies gradually sank that a ripple appeared in her eyes. At this moment, she tapped her toes lightly, floated lightly across the lake, and then carried the two women to the shore.
“Wuwuwuwuwu…Miss…”
'Xiao Cui', who thought she was really going to die, immediately hugged 'Si Se' and cried heart-wrenchingly, which immediately annoyed 'Leng Yue', who couldn't stand seeing others cry.
Her face turned cold, and her body emitted an even colder chill than before. Her eyes, which could freeze someone to death, met Xiao Cui's eyes in an instant.
"Quarrel!"
As the plot develops to this point, the timid "Xiao Cui" should cry even harder to highlight her fear and cowardice as a small person.
However, Dong Yue, who played the role of 'Xiao Cui', was stunned where she was.
Ruan Meng was a novice with poor acting skills. When she saw Dong Yue didn't react for a long time, she was stunned for a moment and then lost her acting skills.
"What's wrong? Was there anything wrong with what happened just now?"
Because her two companions were distracted, Huang Yingying had to take the initiative to distract herself and immediately stood up and cleared her throat: "Ahem... it was actually pretty good just now..."
