Entertaining Children

Chapter 909: Final champion

  Chapter 909 Final Champion

   Xiao Yao did not notice that the director and Xu Hongguang were talking about himself, because after the rehearsal paused, he focused his attention on He Ying.

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Yao got up and walked to He Ying's side, gently pulled her sleeves, and whispered: "Sister He Ying, in the scene just now, there is a place where you called Qin State the Yan State. But the director doesn’t seem to notice it. You’d better pay attention when rehearsing for a while."

  "Really?" He Ying recalled with a puzzled face, and then hid her mouth and shouted, "Really! Thank you for reminding me. I will pay attention to it later."

  He Ying's voice was a little loud, which caught the attention of others. The director turned his head and asked He Ying: "What's the matter?"

   "It's nothing, Director Xu, there was a place where the line was wrong just now, Xiao Yao reminded me." He Ying said to the director frankly.

   "Oh~" The director looked at Xiao Yao and asked with a smile, "Which place is wrong?"

   "In the third line, I should be talking about the Qin State, but I ended up saying it was the Yan State." He Ying said truthfully.

  The great director is named Xu Changrong, and he is already in his sixties. Just now I mainly focused on the expressions and actions of the actors, but I really didn't notice the mistake in this line. At this moment, after listening to He Ying's words, thinking about it in his head, he couldn't help but nodded.

On the side of   , Xu Hongguang heard that He Ying had said the wrong line and was discovered by Xiao Yao. He lowered his head and turned over the script in his hand, recalling whether he had also made a slip in the line just now. Xu Hongguang turned over for a while and found that there was no lip-synch in the lines just now, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

  However, when he saw a section that had not yet been arranged at the back of the script, Xu Hongguang frowned and asked Xu Changrong: “Director, should this place be the “resistance” or the “gang”?”

   "It should be the chanting of "resistance"," Xu Changrong replied subconsciously, but after thinking about it, he seemed to be a little uncertain, "We can check this later."

  "In modern times, it is generally pronounced "anti", but in ancient times, it seems that more people say "gang"." Xiao Yao said on the side.

   Xiao Yao was already standing among the rehearsal people, not far from Xu Changrong and Xu Hongguang. After hearing the conversation between the two, Xiao Yao, who knew which word they were talking, unconsciously took the conversation.

   "You know?" Xu Changrong looked at Xiao Yao with interest, "Tell us more specifically."

"If you check on the Internet, it will generally show that the pronunciation of this word is DuKang, so I think modern times are "resistance"," Xiao Yao replied, "but both in "Historical Records" and "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" There is a record of the story of "Jing Ke assassinating Qin". Xu Guang's "Records of the Records of Yin and Yi" during the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the commentary "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" by Hu Sanxing in the Yuan Dynasty both said "du kang, sound gang", so I think the ancients thought Du kang Read the "Gang" of Governor."

  As soon as Xiao Yao said these words, the scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Xiao Yao in surprise.

  In this society, it is very rare for a young man in his early twenties to read "Historical Records" and "Tong Jian". However, Xiao Yao’s words actually quoted the content of the ancients’ annotations on these two works, indicating that he had not only read these two historical masterpieces, but even the ancients’ annotations on these two works. This sounds like It's pretty incredible.

  "Do you even know these?" Xu Hongguang stared at Xiao Yao, "So, you have not only read "Historical Records" and "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", but also read the annotations written by ancients for these two works?"

   "Yeah~" Xiao Yao smiled and scratched his head, "I never went to kindergarten when I was a child. Before elementary school, I always read and read with my grandpa! Grandpa loves history, and I read more history books."

   "Do the ancients think Du Kang should pronounce "Du Gang"?" Director Xu Changrong thought for a while and asked Xiao Yao further.

   "Nor!" Xu Changrong originally just wanted to confirm, but Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "In ancient times, some people thought that the governor was "resisting", and some people thought that the governor was "rigid"."

   "Huh?" Everyone was a little confused.

  "Didn’t you just say that the annotations in "Historical Records" and "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" both said "Du Kang, Yin Gang"?" Xu Hongguang asked, "Isn't this something you just made up?"

"Of course not," Xiao Yao said, shaking his head, "but this word not only appears in the records of the two historical works, but also in some poems. From the perspective of poetry, some of the words in those poems should be pronounced." "Supervise resistance", some should say "Supervision Gang"."

  "From the perspective of poetry? For example?" Xu Changrong asked again.

"For example, in Fanghui's "Jingzhao Old Tour Zhang Changma, Dukang Watching the Opera Xintai" in Fanghui during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Dukang should read Dukang "Gang"," Xiao Yao said. Shiman builds Ganquan Road, and the dagger still follows the Dukang map. In the Dukang map, Dukang should read Dukang's "anti"."

   "Awesome!" The others on the scene couldn't help but applaud Xiao Yao.

   "You deserve to be the champion of the "Ancient Poetry Conference", this ancient poem came casually!" He Ying next to Xiao Yao gave a thumbs up and praised, "Your ancient poems and historical knowledge are really amazing!"

   "Old Teacher Xiao has a good grandson!" Xu Changrong also shook his head and sighed.

"Alright," Xu Changrong cleared up his mood, turned his head and said to Xu Hongguang, "Since the annotations to this record in the two historical masterpieces say "Du Gang", then we will say "Du Gang" in this play. Right."

   "Okay!" Xu Hongguang nodded.

   "Xiao Yao, come!" Xu Changrong turned his head and waved to Xiao Yao.

   "Director, is there anything else?" Xiao Yao walked to Xu Changrong's side and said.

   "Just now Hong Guang said that the role I assigned to you is just a scene, and the work arranged for you is too easy." Xu Changrong smiled, "I think so too, and I am going to put some burden on you!"

"How to add a load? Add a play or change a role?" Xiao Yao turned to look at Xu Hongguang and laughed, "Brother Guang, the more the role, the more opportunities to perform. You ask the director to add the play to me, not afraid that I will win the championship in the end. Let you seniors lose face?"

   "To be honest, I really don't mind if you win the championship in the end!" Xu Hongguang said with a smile.

"What good things are you thinking about? Who said I want to add dramas or change roles for you?" Xu Changrong laughed, "What time is this? There are so many queues in front of this, and it is impossible to change roles and re-arrange them again, too. I'm not going to add drama to your character."

   "Then what do you mean?" Xiao Yao asked puzzled.

"I think you have a good spirit, a clear mind, and a good foundation in history and ancient Chinese. I want you to be my assistant and rehearse them together." Xu Changrong said, "For example, if He Ying said the wrong line just now, you can Remind us as soon as possible. This is a historical drama. If you encounter problems with ancient prose and history again, you can tell us immediately if you know it. How about it? Would you like to help do more?"

   "Of course I do!" Xiao Yao nodded immediately.

   Xiao Yao has always planned to be a director. At this time, he stayed here because he wanted to learn from the great director Xu Changrong. The effect of sitting in a corner and watching and standing next to Xu Changrong is definitely different. Before, Xiao Yao was sitting far away in the corner because he was afraid of disturbing Xu Changrong's work. At this time, Xu Changrong offered to let Xiao Yao be his assistant. Of course, Xiao Yao couldn't ask for it.

   "Okay, then it's settled!" Xu Changrong smiled and nodded.

  The situation of their rehearsal in the rehearsal room is not recorded by the camera. Only when the rehearsal is almost the same, and when they go to the stage for the final rehearsal with makeup, they will be recorded by the camera of the program group. During this period of time, Xiao Yao’s performance is unlikely to appear on TV, and it has no effect on his reputation. It is purely to do more, but Xiao Yao can agree without hesitation. Xu Changrong still appreciates Xiao Yao’s point very much. .

   "Oh, Xiao Yao, did you upgrade from an actor to an assistant director all at once?" Xu Hongguang laughed.

   "Where," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Said that the drama work is still director Xu, I am responsible for checking the omissions and filling in the vacancies, at most it is a scene note!"

   "Okay," Xu Changrong clapped his hands, "Let’s seize the time to repeat the scene just now, and then we will be ready for the next one!"

  The four actors stood at their respective positions in the middle of the venue after hearing what Xu Changrong said, while Xiao Yao stepped back to Xu Changrong's side and watched the four performers together.

   Xiao Yao's observation ability is very strong, and his memory is also very good. Anyone can grasp and remember the slightest mistakes and omissions, and report them to Xu Changrong one by one during the timeout. With Xiao Yao's help to supervise the scene, Xu Changrong can slightly ignore some of the details and focus on the performance of the actors. The whole person feels a lot easier. As a result, the progress of the entire rehearsal has also been accelerated a lot.

   Around 2:30 in the morning, all five scenes were almost lined up, and everyone basically met Xu Changrong's requirements. The eight guests went back to their own lounges. With the help of the makeup artist, stylist and costume artist arranged by the program group, they made up and changed costumes, and then went to the studio where the background of the first scene was set The final live rehearsal on stage.

  At the end of the live rehearsal for the five scenes, it was already past three in the morning. The program group arranged for eight guests to wear costumes to return to the sound hall to rest. At 3:30 in the morning, they resumed the last round of recording of the program.

   During the rehearsal and rehearsal before the final sound show, the studio will be cleared as usual. After the show resumes recording, the audience will re-enter the scene.

  At the end of the first half, it was late at night when the recording was suspended and the scene was cleared, and now it was 3:30 in the morning when the recording was resumed. As the time is too late, during this time, the program group does not prevent the audience from leaving halfway. However, when the audience re-entered the venue, apart from the two guest speakers who had to leave early due to the itinerary, it seemed that none of the ordinary audience left early. Seeing the audience seat still full under the stage, the eight guests were moved in their hearts.

  In the studio, the props and background of the first scene have been arranged on the stage, and the lights above the stage are also dimmed. When all the audience entered the hall, the lights above the auditorium also dimmed, and a few countdown bells rang from the stereo, and the audience in the auditorium became quiet.

  The host, Wang Yao, did not re-enter the stage, but directly stood in the shadow on the side of the stage and broadcast the repertoire to the audience. The lights above the stage came on, and three actors in costumes, He Ying, Zhou Wenjian, and Zhu Jinyang, appeared in front of the audience. The final annual sound show also began.

  The sound show, which starts at 3:30 in the morning, is the latest performance in this show. The sound show with five scenes connected is also the longest performance in this show. Although it was very late and the performance time was relatively long, from the moment the performance began, the audience on the scene was all refreshed and immediately lost sleep.

  Although the rehearsal time is only a few hours, the performance by eight powerful actors and a top director is also very, very exciting. The audience was very engaged in watching, following the characters on the stage, either joy or sorrow, sadness or excitement.

  The five scenes all add up to about 20 minutes. When the lights on the stage are turned off and the sound show is over, many on-site audiences even have a sense of unfulfilled feelings.

  The lights on the stage turned on again, and the eight finalists in costumes all appeared on the stage. When they lined up to call the audience, thunderous applause and cheers were heard. Many audience members stood up from their seats excitedly and paid their respects to these outstanding actors on the stage.

  The host Wang Yao and the voice emcee Zeng Guoqiang walked onto the stage from both sides, standing on both sides of the eight guests. It wasn't until the applause of the audience diminished and most of the audience sat back on their seats. Zeng Guoqiang said with a sigh, "It's a very, very wonderful sound show. It is worthy of our annual sound show! Thank you eight guests. Brilliant performance for us!"

   "Oh oh~" The audience once again rang out with huge applause and cheers.

"This is the last big sound show of the season, and it is also the last performance." After the applause and cheers fell, the host Wang Yao continued, "Our performance part of the season is over. At this moment, it is. It's time for the three hundred spectators on the scene to exercise your power for the last time this season. Who is your favorite voice in today's final? Please pick up your voting box and vote!"

  The audience bowed their heads to operate the voting machine, and the eight guests on the stage looked at each other with a smile. Although it is a variety show, the eight people on the stage are all characters who have passed through the storm, but at this time, everyone is inevitably still a little nervous.

   Soon, the voting is over. A staff member ran to the stage holding a hand card with the show LOGO printed on the back. Wang Yao walked to the stage and took the card, and returned to the side of the eight guests.

   "The voting results have come out." Wang Yao smiled and said to the audience in the audience, "Before announcing the results, I want to ask first, who are you voting for?"

   "Now give it to us!" Zhu Jinyang smiled bitterly.

   "Liu Qiaosong~"

  "Wenjian Zhou~"

  "He Ying~"

   "Xiao Yao~"

  "Xu Hongguang~"

  "Gao Chengguang~"

  The audience under the stage shouted loudly. At the beginning, it was possible to distinguish the name of the person, but later, the voices were mixed together, and it was impossible to tell who was calling.

  "Why do I still hear someone calling Zeng Guoqiang?" Zeng Guoqiang pretended to be surprised.

  "Haha~" Everyone on the stage laughed.

   "No, just kidding!" Zeng Guoqiang smiled and waved his hand.

   "No, I heard you really called your name!" Xiao Yao helped the headset next to his mouth, smiled and turned to Zeng Guoqiang and said, "If you don't believe me, listen again!"

  Xiao Yao raised his hands and waved upwards, and at the same time he turned his head to make a listening posture.

   "Zeng Guoqiang!" The audience yelled in unison, knowing, very cooperative.

   "Oh, there are!" Zeng Guoqiang smiled happily.

   "Thank you! Thank you!" Zeng Guoqiang bowed to the audience, straightened up and said vigorously, "I announce that the first place in this edition of "Sound on the Scene" is Zeng Guoqiang!"

   "Is that so?" Wang Yao handed the card in his hand to Zeng Guoqiang and said, "The result has come out, you can change your name yourself!"

   "Well, to be serious, the results of the voting have already come out!" Zeng Guoqiang put away some smiles, restored some serious expressions a little, and said, "We will announce it now!"

   "Teacher Zeng, then you come to announce the result!" Wang Yao walked to Zeng Guoqiang and handed him the hand card in his hand seriously.

  "You still have to announce it!" Zeng Guoqiang retorted.

   "Then I will come and read the name together." Wang Yao said.

   "Okay!" Zeng Guoqiang nodded.

   "We announced that in the final of the first season of "Sound on the Scene", the voice of the first place in the audience vote is~" Wang Yao solemnly read the previous paragraph and raised his hand card between him and Zeng Guoqiang.

  "Xiao, Yao~" Wang Yao paused, then glanced at Zeng Guoqiang, and then said in unison to the audience.

  "Wow~" As soon as the result was announced, there was a huge scream at the same time as applause rang out from the stage.

Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, smiling and taking a step forward. First, he opened his hands and bowed deeply to the audience in the audience, and then turned to the nine people who were also applauding him on the stage. Senior bowed to thank you.
