Chapter 1059 Rehearsing the graduation drama

  Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui and others participated in the first parkour event, and when they returned to China, both crews had already started work.

  Although they are neither a director nor an actor, as a project led by themselves, Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui are still more concerned about these two crews. After returning to China, Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui both went to their respective crews, concerned about the crew's shooting situation and shooting progress.

  In this TV series, Xiao Yao is neither a director nor an actor. As a producer, you don’t need to stay in the crew every day. So after spending a few days in the crew, and found that the crew is operating normally, the shooting progress and the shooting materials are basically satisfactory, Xiao Yao I stopped going to the crew and let the students play.

  In film and television colleges, students of the acting department generally have to rehearse a graduation drama during the second semester of their senior year as a presentation performance upon graduation. This is an important task for acting students in the last semester, but it is not absolutely inevitable. Basically every year, some senior students miss the graduation show because of filming outside.

  The graduation performances of the acting departments of the three major colleges and universities usually attract many professionals in the industry to watch. For those seniors who are about to graduate, it is also a rare performance opportunity. If you behave well and can impress the teachers and seniors in the circle very deeply, it will be very good for your future development. Therefore, the rehearsal of the graduation drama is not very famous for seniors, especially For the students, it is still very important.

  Under normal circumstances, if it weren't for the more important roles in the drama group, the students of the acting department would not miss the opportunity to show this kind of graduation drama.

   Normally, Xiao Yao originally planned to take time off and miss the rehearsal of the graduation drama. However, because the crew is operating normally, the film and television company’s personnel are also responsible for other matters besides the crew. Xiao Yao has not taken up the job recently, so he returned to school to rehearse the graduation drama.

  In the film and television industry, there are still very few opportunities for newcomers to make their debut. Except for Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui, who have become famous since childhood and have a relatively deep family background and network resources, it is difficult for ordinary seniors to get important roles in good film and television projects. Therefore, the number of students who missed the graduation show every year for filming is quite limited, and the proportion is relatively fixed.

In terms of Xiao Yao’s fame, resources and strength, the school did not expect Xiao Yao to come to the graduation show, but even if Xiao Yao unexpectedly returned to school to line up for the graduation show, it could not make up for Xiao Yao’s contribution to this year’s Shen Opera graduation show. Loss.

  The actors of Xiao Yao’s TV series are all senior students of Shen Opera. The crew started in May, and there was no way to finish filming before graduation. There are no major supporting roles in this drama, but the six protagonists basically appear in every episode. Some of the lesser supporting roles and trophies may also take care of the school's graduation drama. The six protagonists all took time off because of this TV series and missed Shen's graduation drama rehearsal.

  When this crew chooses actors, they only choose classmates who have good business abilities but are relatively unfamiliar, and have no resources and background. In other words, if Xiao Yao doesn't open this TV drama project, the six leading actors will all have to participate in the graduation drama. Because of Xiao Yao's TV series, the graduates of the acting department of Shen Opera this year have lost six main actors, which is basically a whole show missing.

  Of course, the school hopes that students will develop well after graduation, become famous and successful in their careers. Compared to performing a stage play for hundreds of thousands of people in the school auditorium, it is obviously more beneficial to their development to star in a TV play that can be broadcast on TV and on the website, so Xiao Yao started a project to find a school The school is very welcome and supportive of the protagonist acting as the protagonist, and I am happy to see it happen.

   However, since Xiao Yao, the enchantress, came back to school to rehearse, the teacher of the acting department naturally took this as an excuse to put a heavier burden on Xiao Yao, a guy who had been a director.

  Graduation drama is a very important thing for senior students in the acting department in the second half of the semester, and they started to prepare very early. However, because of sufficient time, continuous improvements and corrections will be made during the general rehearsal process, and the whole play will not be finalized very early. When Xiao Yao returned to school, it was still in mid-May. There was still more than a month before the graduation drama. Xiao Yao originally wanted to ask the instructor of a certain graduation drama to add a role and let himself join in, but Shen Xi’s No one of the teachers wanted to let Xiao Yao join in midway, but asked him to rehearse another play.

  The meaning of asking Xiao Yao to arrange another play is not to find another instructor to arrange a play for Xiao Yao, but to let Xiao Yao act as the director and arrange the play by himself.

Of course, the school is not unable to temporarily arrange another teacher to guide Xiao Yao, but who told Xiao Yao to be a director himself, won awards for short films, and achieved good results in feature films. The school took this to embarrass it again. Xiao Yao, or, is taking this to give Xiao Yao this evildoer another opportunity to perform.

  Xiao Yao acted in dramas with Sun Zhihao when he was over eight years old. At that time, he was already an adult with excellent memory. At that time, he observed how Sun Zhihao was a drama director. At the beginning of last year, when he participated in "Sound on the Scene", Xiao Yao performed two stage plays, especially the final rehearsal of the final sound show. He has been with the great director Xu Changrong and learned a lot. Xiao Yao is still confident about the graduation drama.

  It’s okay to write and direct your own script. In terms of time, it’s okay to arrange another play in more than a month, but the problem is that Xiao Yao has no one! You can’t let Xiao Yao play a one-man show on his own in the graduation drama, right? With regard to this question raised by Xiao Yao, the teachers did not embarrass Xiao Yao any more.

  The number of students in the performance department of Shen Opera this year is about the same as in previous years, all of which are forty-eight. Judging from the situation in previous years, the number of students who missed the graduation show in Shenxi is in the single digits each year. There are about forty students participating. They are usually divided into six crews, arranged in six plays, and the actors in each play are in seven. Individually. This year, due to Xiao Yao’s crew, six actors were missing, and one play was reduced. The number of actors in each play is still the same as in previous years.

Because there were only five plays during the preparation period, Shen Xi also arranged five teachers to act as the instructors of the graduation show this year. The other teachers have other work arrangements. This is also the school let Xiao Yao do the director rehearsal. Another reason for this.

  Now there is more than a month before the graduation drama. With the original seven to eight actors, reducing one role is not much more difficult than adding one. Now let Xiao Yao arrange another play, the instructors of each play also agreed to have an actor for each crew, and Xiao Yao will form a new crew.

Although the graduation drama is to show students their own reporting performance, the instructor will try to balance the role of each role, but there is no drama that can achieve as many roles as the role. There will always be a protagonist and a supporting role. There is no way for each student’s role to be different.

  In a play, the protagonist is definitely more difficult to move than the supporting role, so the student actors given to Xiao Yao by several instructors are the supporting actors with the fewest roles in the play.

Regardless of the academic performance and professional level, they are all people who have studied in the Shenxi Acting Department for four years. No matter how bad this level is, it is only a graduation show, not a business performance activity. It's an experience to play well and play well, so Xiao Yao didn't pick it up either, so he just accepted it all.

For those students who have been adjusted, Xiao Yao’s directorship may not necessarily be as high as that of the school’s instructor, but at least he has won awards for short films, and feature films have won high box office and good ratings. It is estimated that Not much difference. Moreover, Xiao Yao’s enchanting evildoer is well-known and well-known. Not to mention that he may turn from a supporting role to a protagonist, but he is still assigned to a supporting role. He may be able to get more attention when starring in a graduation drama with him. Xiao Yao didn't have any comments, but was a little excited and expectant.

  One month is not short, and it is not long. After discussing the redistribution, Xiao Yao immediately summoned these people to the rehearsal classroom assigned to them after receiving the list of actors given to him by the instructors.

  Among these five people, only one is a classmate of Xiao Yao, and the remaining four are students from the other two classes. However, they are all students in the same department. Even though Xiao Yao appeared in school for less time than others because of his work, after four years, the students in the same department were basically familiar with each other. After the meeting, everyone did not spend too much time chatting, exchanged feelings with each other, and soon discussed the graduation drama.

  To rehearse, the first step of course is to have a script.

  Xiao Yao is the director of this graduation drama, and he is naturally the screenwriter. Before meeting these students, Xiao Yao thought about what story he would play, but he didn't plan to complete the script one by one. Instead, he planned to create together with the students who played the graduation drama.

  Before coming to meet with Xiao Yao, the instructor told these students that this graduation drama is based on Xiao Yao, and Xiao Yao himself is the director and screenwriter. It's affirmative that Xiao Yao is the director, but Xiao Yao wants to work on script creation with them, and everyone has no objection. I heard that Xiao Yao only prepared a story outline and wanted to listen to their opinions. While everyone felt happy in their hearts, they also listened very carefully to the outline story that Xiao Yao told them.

  The drama Xiao Yao wants to perform in the graduation drama is the story of the previous life "Donkey Gets Water". After Xiao Yao gave you the outline of the story, everyone was very interested in this humorous and absurd realism story. They all agreed that it was much more interesting than the few graduation dramas they had previously arranged. Of course it is. The group passed without objection.

  Since the students have no opinion on Xiao Yao’s script outline, the next step is naturally to get to the topic and start to improve the script and rehearse.

This time, Xiao Yao created the script with the actors who were going to act in the play, so he did not adopt the script creation model of the previous TV series. He convened a team of screenwriters to have a brainstorming session, and gathered everyone’s wisdom and ideas to write the script. After completing all the details, we will proceed to the next step. Instead, we will discuss the script while rehearsing. In the rehearsal, we will improve the details of the script according to how everyone feels when performing.

  Previous life "Donkey Deshui" is a commercial drama in the theater, and its duration is also the length of a commercial drama. The graduation drama of the Shen Opera Acting Department is just a stage play. The performance of the entire graduation drama is only about two hours. There are six graduation dramas to be performed, and it is only assigned to a graduation drama. In fact, it only has a dozen or twenty minutes, which is only equivalent to the original version of the previous life. About one-sixth of the drama. Therefore, the graduation drama version of "Donkey Deshui" is very far from the original version.

What Xiao Yao likes is this humorous and absurd story, and there is no need to really restore all the details of the story in the previous life, and the number of actors is different, and it is impossible to use a student's graduation drama to restore a business in the previous life. Acting in drama, so from the beginning, Xiao Yao didn't count as copying the original drama of the previous life, but only took the core of the story and changed it into a relatively short story.

  Although Xiao Yao has watched the original dramas of the previous life and also watched the original movies, how to reduce such a story to one-sixth of the time is still more difficult. It took Xiao Yao and five actors and classmates two weeks for a short stage drama of ten to twenty minutes before they jointly determined the details of the script and completed the final script.

  After confirming all the details of the story and completing the entire script, everyone spent all their energy on rehearsal. It took another two weeks for everyone to rehearse the co-created graduation drama to a level that can basically be watched.

  One month later, the performance time of the graduation drama is very close. Rehearsing in a rehearsal classroom does not feel the same as rehearsing in a theater. At this time, everyone's rehearsal venue has also moved from the rehearsal room to the school theater where the graduation show will be held in the future.

  At this point in time, the crews of several other graduation dramas have also arrived at the stage of field rehearsals in the school theater. All six crews have to rehearse on the spot. Of course, the theater cannot be monopolized by any one crew, so it can only be used in turns at different times. On average, each crew can only use it for about two hours a day.

  But at this time everyone's graduation drama has already taken shape. There is no need to discuss and modify the script while rehearsing, but if the rehearsal enhances the degree of tacit understanding, the time for this alternate rehearsal is also sufficient.

  It was found that a paragraph was repeated, the operation was wrong, sorry! In order to avoid the suspicion of cheating the number of characters, it has been slightly modified, and there is no change in the whole.
