Chapter 52 Acting with a National First-Class Actor!

"Let's go in."

The three of them walked towards the theater.

Lu Qi was cheerful.

Fang Rong, however, had a droopy face.

I have watched your plays many times and learned a lot from them. ——Why does this sound so familiar?

Isn't this what Chen Xiao said when he first met him?

He was secretly happy for several days because of this.

The director who broke the box office record is his fan, how proud!

It turns out that this kid has so many idols. It is even possible that these words are all false!

It's really a waste of joy, cheating on feelings.

The three of them chatted and walked into the theater.

When they walked to the door of the theater, they heard the sound of chatting.

When they entered the door, they saw four middle-aged men sitting in the audience seats at the door and chatting.

There were some theater and crew staff behind them, sorting out props and serving tea and water.

Fang Rong stepped forward, raised his voice and smiled: "Good morning, teachers!"

The four people's eyes were instantly attracted, and they all stood up to greet.

"This is our chief director, Director Chen." Fang Rong introduced.

The four people looked at Chen Xiao and praised him:

"Good morning, Director Chen. I didn't expect you to be so young?"

"Our Director Chen has no problem playing the leading male role."

"Haha, don't you usually go online? Our Director Chen is the director with the most fans, with a lot of little fans."

"Talented, good-looking, and in good shape, he has a bright future."

Chen Xiao smiled faintly and greeted him:

"Hello, teachers. You are all my seniors. Please give me more advice in the future."

Fang Rong nodded with satisfaction.

Not bad.

If he had said to these four people, I have learned a lot from watching your plays since I was a child.

There would be no trust between people.

Fortunately, he didn't say it.

After a while of polite conversation, Chen Xiao stopped a crew member and asked, "Have we decided on the place for the audition?"

"Yes, we have set up the three conference rooms on the west side of the second floor as casting rooms."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

An old actor heard this and laughed heartily, "Why go to a conference room? Just perform in this theater. It's so boring to wait."

"Yes, at most, when one person is auditioning, the actor who auditions for the same role will wait in another place."

"I haven't seen Lao Lu perform for a long time. Give me a chance."

The five first-class actors present said one after another.

Chen Xiao thought for a moment.

It's good that the national first-class actors are willing to come for the audition. They are older, and some of them are not very agile. It's really not good for them to run up and down and wait in line.

"Then the five of us will audition here. If the four seniors who haven't arrived yet want to go to the casting room, Director Fang and I will go there!"

The five people praised him politely and sat down in a circle to reminisce.

Soon, the time came to half past eight.

The props team had already simply arranged the first scene on the stage.

There was an old-fashioned wooden chair, a pipe, a wooden stake, and a wooden stool on the stage.

This scene was about Master Guan teaching Duan Xiaolou a lesson after he stopped singing.

Dieyi was also present.

Although Dieyi's emotions were restrained and rich in this scene, there were no lines or large movements, so a wooden stake was used instead during the audition.

Only Master Guan and Duan Xiaolou were on stage.

Chen Xiao walked up to the five actors who had already arrived and said with a smile, "Seniors, time is up, let's get started. Please invite Teacher Lu to the stage first."

Lu Qi stood up and smiled slightly, "Director Chen, who will play Duan Xiaolou and act with me?"

"I'll do it." Chen Xiao smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Then they laughed in their hearts.

Who is Lu Qi?

A national first-class actor!

He can scare new actors to tears when he plays a strict father.

Wouldn't he be scared when he plays the majestic old boss?

So what if Chen Xiao can direct a play?

It's just talk on paper.

If Lu Qi sits there, even if he doesn't speak, the boy will probably be scared and forget his lines, right?

They looked at Lu Qi who was on the stage, and smiled and advised:

"Don't be so fierce."

"Weaken your aura, don't scare Director Chen."

"You scared that young man so much that he couldn't sleep for several days last time, restrain yourself!"

Lu Qi was also embarrassed.

Although Chen Xiao is young, his status is not low.

This scene is to teach Duan Xiaolou a lesson.

Squatting in front of him, slapping his face, and scolding him, maybe he can really scare him.

But if he restrains himself, how can he be worthy of the status of a first-class actor?

Chen Xiao stood on the stage, his face calm, and chuckled: "Teacher Lu, you don't have to be polite to me, come on. We are auditioning, three into one, it's not a joke."

When everyone heard this, they all chuckled.

This kid thought that acting with a first-class actor was the same as acting with Leo and others, right?

Naive.

You will know how much pressure there is later.

Fang Rong frowned slightly.

In this scene, the old boss is very powerful.

Director Chen is too arrogant. Oh... don't be really shocked.

He whispered to his assistant: "Bring two packs of tissues."

If he gets scared later, hand him tissues quickly.

On stage.

Lu Qi hesitated for a moment, "Okay, let's start."

He sat on the wooden chair and squinted his eyes.

Chen Xiao stepped back a few steps and gave Fang Rong a look.

Fang Rong whispered: "Start."

Duan Xiaolou (Chen Xiao) ran forward two steps, stared at the master for two seconds, glanced at the ground, and then looked at the master again.

There was both longing and a hint of guilt in his eyes.

The eyes of the old actors in the audience lit up.

"Hey, that's good."

"The facial muscles are well controlled."

"The emotions are captured very accurately."

"Shh, don't talk."

On stage.

Lu Qi's eyes also lit up, but he immediately returned to the play.

Master Guan (Lu Qi) stood up on the stool, "It's the two corners here."

Duan Xiaolou quickly ran forward and said, "Master."

"Oh, I'm so proud of myself."

Duan Xiaolou wanted to help his arm, but was thrown away and walked around to the other side.

Master Guan took a few shaky steps and said, "How can I deserve this? I will bow to you."

He folded his hands and slowly bowed towards his apprentice.

Duan Xiaolou knelt down with a thump and bowed his head deeply, "Disciple doesn't dare."

A member of the props team moved the chair behind Master Guan.

Master Guan knelt down and sat down. At the same time, his tone became tougher. He slapped the armrest heavily and said angrily:

"Don't you dare? Why don't you dare now!"

Duan Xiaolou shivered and his fingers trembled slightly.

"Cheng Dieyi, it was your senior brother who helped you out in the first place. Now that your senior brother no longer sings, you should give him a hand, right?"

Master Guan said, taking out the pipe from the back of his neck and throwing it to the ground.

Duan Xiaolou glanced at the pipe and then took a peek at his master.

"Hurry up." Master Guan urged.

Duan Xiaolou picked up the pipe and handed it to Cheng Dieyi. He glanced at the ground and then at his master.

Master Guan said again: "Do it for me."

Duan Xiaolou handed the pipe over again.

The muscles on his face tensed up, and his gaze became lower and lower.

Lu Qi's eyes lit up.

This guy captures the details so well!

The penalty for smoking a pipe is poking your lips.

As he urged, his facial muscles became more and more tense, and his muscles were controlled quite accurately.

Have you practiced?
