Chapter 177 Forgetting the Words
"Hello, I'm Vera's brother Manny"
Zhang Wei watched Manny interacting with Hayat with a proper expression on his face, and instantly felt that Manny had turned into a well-dressed adult.
Although Hayat seemed a little curious about him, Manny looked like he had something on his mind and didn't even intend to chat with Zhang Wei any longer. He said goodbye in a hurry and left.
"Hey! Vera, I never knew you had two brothers," Hayat said as soon as Manny left.
"No, you're wrong. It's three."
"Oh my God, is the other brother as handsome and gentlemanly as him?"
Zhang Wei thought for a moment and said, "Although Big Brother Leida is also very handsome, it is true that Manny is more handsome."
"You are so lucky, unlike my brother who jumps up and down all day long."
Zhang Wei thought that the three Wilson brothers were indeed outstanding. Although they had different personalities, they were all typical children of other people's families.
"They are indeed very nice. If you want to meet them, you can come to my house later."
Hayat nodded repeatedly. "Of course I'm going. It would be best if I could bring Butch with me. She's the one who brags about which boy is the best every day. I don't think those skinny guys in the boys' school who can't even hold up their clothes are that handsome. It would be nice to let her go and see the world!"
I have to say that Hayat's vision is more mature than that of ordinary girls. Boys in junior high and high school are in the growth and development period, and are generally growing and thin. Even a sports fanatic like Namir has little flesh on his face.
Manny is almost twenty years old, which is the golden age for Western boys. He has the boyish youthfulness mixed with a little maturity of a young man. In addition, he looks very much like Emma, with deep and handsome features and a quiet temperament, which is very attractive.
As they were talking, Zhang Wei and her friends' musical show was about to begin, and Anna and her friends also arrived backstage one after another.
It can be seen that everyone is still quite nervous. Although everyone was very familiar with the lyrics in the previous rehearsals, several people now have script sheets in their hands.
Hayat said "come on" to her and went about her own business, which made Zhang Wei a little nervous.
But she didn't think about the lines, as she knew them by heart. She was thinking about trying not to look at the audience when she went on stage and just treating it as a rehearsal.
Time passed quickly. They were waiting behind the curtain to enter the stage. The protagonist entered first. Zhang Wei had to wait a little longer. She counted the beats and entered the stage. The lights shone on her, and her only feeling was - hot.
I don’t know if it was because she was nervous or there was really a lack of oxygen on the stage, or maybe the lights were too hot, but Zhang Wei could feel that her face was very hot, but she put on heavy makeup, hoping that no one could notice.
"That's Vera!" Emma covered her mouth in surprise. "It's like she's grown up all of a sudden, even though I haven't seen her for only two weeks!"
Charles whispered to comfort her: "She is still that little girl. Listen to her singing, it is still very clear and sweet."
"It looks like she's playing Lady Gilly. Oh, Lady Gilly couldn't have been prettier than Vera even when she was young!"
Zhang Wei had thought about lowering her voice before, but when she tried it, it sounded too deliberate and uncomfortable, so she just sang more naturally.
Zhang Wei only had the heart to look at the audience after she finished singing her own part, but the theater was so big that she couldn't see where her family members were sitting. She could only concentrate on listening to the leading actor finish the last part.
Just in the last scene between the heroine Christine and the Phantom, a tense situation occurred. The Phantom actually forgot the lyrics!
You can see that she was also very nervous, but she opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. Her opponent, the female lead Kristen, was so nervous that her hands were shaking.
The Phantom had paused for several seconds. Fortunately, there was a musical interlude, which made her pause less abrupt. However, Zhang Wei thought that she could not wait any longer, and if it got stuck any further, it would become a performance accident.
She immediately turned off the microphone, controlled the volume and sang the following lyrics. After hearing it, the Phantom followed Zhang Wei's voice and sang the rest. Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhang Wei secretly thought that it was a close call. When she had two roles to choose from, although she only carefully prepared the lines for Lady Gilly, she was not completely unprepared for the Phantom. At least she wrote down all his lines.
Because she usually makes preparations for both situations. In case the role of Mrs. Gilly is not successfully won, it would be rather hasty to prepare the role of the Phantom at the last minute.
After they took their bows and left the stage, the actor who played the Phantom ran towards Zhang Wei crying and hugged her tightly. The others were also infected and gathered around, holding Zhang Wei in the middle.
Zhang Wei narrowly avoided suffocation and quickly comforted them, "It's okay, it's okay, our performance was perfect! Everyone was really great!"
"Vera, thank you so much, woooooo."
Zhang Wei looked at the tears and snot on his body, feeling a little disgusted but also a little happy. It turned out that everyone worked together to complete a difficult task, which made everyone so close at this moment. Perhaps this is the meaning of group activities!
It was at this moment that she felt for the first time that musicals might be quite good.
The only thing left was the orchestra's performance, which was much less challenging for her. She changed her clothes and put on makeup, and finally returned to her familiar self.
While waiting, she finally had time to look for someone, but she couldn't walk around the theater, and the lights were flickering, and her phone was on silent, so she finally gave up.
She could only sit down and enjoy the show quietly, and unexpectedly saw Namier appear.
The moment Zhang Wei saw Namir, he almost burst out laughing. He was wearing rags and acting as a primitive man on the stage!
His body was covered with brown oil paint, his upper body was bare, he had a cloth tied on his head, and he was thin. He really looked a bit like a primitive man who was short of food and clothing.
However, Namir clearly has no acting skills, and he seems to be playing a strong hunter, but he plays it like a cocky fool.
Zhang Wei watched him and laughed, thinking that if she had a camera, she would definitely record him. As she laughed, her smile suddenly froze at the corners of her mouth, and she suddenly thought, could the others in the audience be looking at her the same way?
Then she suddenly felt very uncomfortable. She had never seen herself perform before. It was at this moment that she realized how nervous everyone else was when they went on stage.
But she was good at guiding herself. After thinking about it, she had already acted, what else could she do? She could only hope that the filming would look good. Even if it didn't look good, at least it would look normal. This was Zhang Wei's minimum standard.
When it was Zhang Wei Orchestra's turn to perform, her previous complicated emotions had completely disappeared, and she performed with a truly calm mind. Moreover, everyone performed unexpectedly well this time.
