"Tsk! I'm not taking any credit for your work. The most Lao Ming and I did was polish it up a bit. It's good, it's good. I always say you're so thick-skinned, but why are you so humble when I praise you?" Du Sixi said to Feng Xiaoyun in dissatisfaction, then asked, "Everyone has seen enough, right? Tell us your opinions."
Every time there is a new script, the troupe will hold a reading session at the end, so everyone is used to it and expresses their opinions.
Even Yan Zi raised his hand, wanting to express his opinion.
"Xiao Yan, why are you raising your hand? This is not a school." Du Sixi said. Now he is not as cold to Yan Zi as when he first came.
The main reason was that he was a straightforward person. When Yan Zicai came, he knew she was a star. In fact, deep down, they didn't look down on ordinary stars, especially those who were just vase-like little flowers and fresh meat. They respected people with ability, such as Feng Xiaoyun.
However, Yan Zi's performance later changed his mind. He could see that Yan Zi was really here to learn something, and he even went on stage twice to guide Yan Zi.
In addition to Feng Xiaoyun's subsequent gift offensive, as the saying goes, the more gifts you give, the less blame you will receive. Naturally, his attitude towards Yan Zi was very different from when she first arrived.
"Well, I think it's a bit inappropriate for Xia Yu to correct Zhang Meili about the two words she used to teach her children."
"That's how it's going to have an impact," said Mingtian, the screenwriter. "What's this called in online novels? The three golden chapters. Xiaoyan, do you read online novels?"
Seeing Yan Zi shake his head, he continued with a hint of disappointment, "Indeed, according to common sense, for a new volunteer teacher to challenge Zhang Meili's authority in her first class and point out her mistakes in front of the entire class seems a bit... how should I put it, a bit too much."
"But this drama is all about the conflict between two ideologies. This conflict runs through the entire plot. If Xia Yu compromises here, she might compromise again and again later."
Mingtian paused and continued, "We all hope that you will play Xia Yu in this script. After all, you and Xia Yu share the same background: young, urban university students. So you must carefully consider this role. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask... who do you know to ask?"
Everyone laughed, and then when no one was paying attention, a shallow footprint appeared on the white shoes Feng Xiaoyun was wearing today.
"Captain, there are too many child actors here." A member of the troupe raised a question.
In fact, there are only four main actors in the end, one is Xia Yu, one is Zhang Meili, one is the film projectionist Wang Shu, and the last one is Xia Yu’s boyfriend Liu Zhipeng.
But there are quite a few child actors playing the students, and the drama troupe itself has no child actors.
If the play is performed in the city, they can also go to some training schools to find some young actors temporarily, which is what they did in the past.
But this time we have to go into the mountains, so it is unrealistic to bring those children with us.
"Our idea is that children don't have many lines, so when we get there, we can just find local children and let the brave ones perform."
"Yeah, that's good." One troupe member agreed: "It would be easier to build relationships if their own children were to perform."
This is not the first time that this has happened. When they often perform in remote areas, they will find local people to play simple roles with few lines, which often achieves unexpected results.
Finally the reading session ended and the script was finalized.
Yan Zi played Xia Yu, Ma Dajie played Zhang Meili, and Chen Fei played Wang Shu. Feng Xiaoyun was jokingly asked to play Xia Yu's boyfriend, but he declined, believing he didn't have the talent. So the role was ultimately given to Jiang Shaowei, an actor from the troupe.
Because he is the youngest member of the troupe besides Yan Zi. And there are a few other characters who appear once or twice, and then other people in the troupe will play guest roles.
For example, the troupe leader Du Sixi will play a local boss who donates money to buy computers for the school, while the screenwriter Ming Tian will play a boss who collects potatoes.
The drama "Beautiful Big Feet" also officially began its intense rehearsal today.
They only have more than half a month left, and then they will go to several mountain primary schools to perform congratulatory performances.
