Cāi Cāi - Chapter 83
Act 10, “In the Rain” 8
The work mentioned by Yao Yin is to dub the role of “Giant Day”.
Tan Yiming had heard Xiang Guai chat about this musical before, but I did not expect that I would have the opportunity to participate in this work.
Such a good opportunity is in front of me, Tan Yiming never thought of rejection!
In the early morning of the next day, Tan Yiming and Xiang Gui appeared together in the theater rehearsal hall. The director, screenwriter and producer sat in a row and interviewed Tan Yiming on the spot.
To be honest, if it was not recommended to Guai and Yao Yin, the director group would not consider letting Ji Jiu be dubbed by a male voice.
Tan Yiming stayed up all night the night before and finished reading the original novel and adapted screenplay late at night. Because of the short time, the character biography only wrote more than a thousand words, but it was enough to reflect his intentions.
Tan Yiming’s resume is very beautiful, countless works have been matched, and his personal characteristics are clear. He comes with a subwoofer. The director asked him to read a few lines aloud on the spot, and he was able to control whether it was gentle, arrogant, cold, or considerate.
He vowed to surrender to Guess and said that he would cooperate with Tan Yiming for a while.
He chose a plot in the script when the actor first heard the voice of “Giant Day”.
In the middle of the rehearsal hall, there was a messy bed. The boy slept with his clothes together, his frowns were slightly frosty, and he did not sleep well. He bounced his body from time to time, like a little nervous animal.
Suddenly, a voice came from afar.
Stingy, nothing, but also thick and solid. It’s amazing that just a sound can fuse so many opposite adjectives.
“——If I were you, I would not stay in the house in such a fine weather, I would spend my time in the sun.”
The boy awakened from his dream. He slumped up from the bed and looked around, bowed his head in doubt, and lay down again.
“–Don’t sleep, the stars are waiting for you.”
The boy finally woke up this time, he got out of bed barefoot, pushed the “door”, and stepped out cautiously.
He was clearly in the bright rehearsal room, but the boy looked around in surprise, but it was enough to convince all audiences that he had crossed the boundaries of time and space and came under a starry sky.
“Who are you?” The boy gathered his hands close to his mouth and asked the sky loudly, “Are you the moon? Are you a star? Are you the cloud in the sky or the wind that passes by my ear?”
That voice didn’t answer the boy’s question.
The sound was slow, like a gentle stream of water passing by everyone’s ears. He remembered alfredd ‘souza’s poem, and seemed to use that poem to talk to the boy.
“——Sing and sing, as if no one is listening. Indulge and dance, as no one appreciates. Love as much as you have never been hurt. Enjoy life, like the end is coming.”
So, under the guidance of that voice, the boy began to dance and sing under the stars for the first time.
…
This is a very conscious work. The original novel is full of speculation on human nature and self, and the adapted script follows this mystery.
To be honest, when Tan Yiming read the script the night before, there were many places that he didn’t understand. At that time, he also looked for help from Guai, hoping that Xiang Gu could open a small stove for himself to help him understand.
However, Xiang Guai refused him with difficulty, saying that everyone has a different understanding of this work. If he directly told Tan Yiming’s answer, it would stifle his thinking.
Tan Yiming only came to the interview site with a belly of confusion.
However, when Tan Yiming saw Xiang Guai’s dance and heard Xiang Guai’s singing voice, the dense fog that lay in front of him suddenly disappeared.
In the play, the boy named the hallucination in his own brain as “polar day”, which symbolizes the never-ending sun. But the boy didn’t know that Ji Day was himself, and he was the sunshine. The polar day he was waiting for, in fact, has been on himself.
…
This is not the first time Tan Yiming has seen Xiang Guai dancing, nor has he heard Xiang Guai singing for the first time. But this time it was very different from the past, Xiang Guai was right in front of him, and he was just out of reach.
Tan Yiming was substituted into the play by Xiang Guai. He guided the boy like a kind wise man, and criticized the boy like a serious elder … he was interdependent with him and could not be separated.
The scene was very long. When Xiang Guai finished, there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
Tan Yiming rushed to put on a towel to wipe his sweat.
Xiang Gui did not care about the towel, but first looked forward to the teachers present.
The director, producer, and screenwriter exchanged opinions in a low voice, looking at the expressions on their faces, it seemed that a consensus had been reached.
After a while, the director took the lead to say, “Xiao Xiang, talk, you two have a good understanding. Have you cooperated before?”
Both spoke at the same time.
Xiang Gu: “No.”
Tan Yiming: “Yes!”
Xiang Gua confused: “… when have we cooperated?”
Tan Yiming reminded him: “Five years ago, the night of the 30th year of the New Year.”
As soon as Xiang Gu was reminded, I immediately remembered. He said awkwardly, “That’s okay …”
Tan Yiming thought he was really a little unconscionable guy: “Why not? I still have the recording at that time.”
Obviously at the interview site, the two argued over the past five years ago.
The director interrupted them: “I just praised the tacit understanding between the two of you, and wanted to make you bother to stay outside.”
Xiang Gu revealed a flattering and shy smile after making a mistake, and he was embarrassed to speak again.
The producer is twice as old as Gu Xiangguo. Seeing him is like looking at his own child, and he speaks for him: “Well young people, the whole stage is fully engaged, and the stage is very good. Originally, between the actor’s main character and Ji Day, two magnets attracted each other, which is better than choosing two strangers who have no communication under the stage. “
As soon as his words came out, this matter was basically settled!
Tan Yiming still can’t understand anything, quickly bowed to thank: “Thank you for giving me this opportunity, I will work hard!”
“Don’t thank us.” The screenwriter laughed. “Thank you for your thanks. You can now move us with your voice. When you are on the stage, you will be moved by your voice.”
Tan Yiming has played many dramas before, but there is still a difference between “matching” and “acting.” Fortunately, this show does not require him to appear on stage, just need to stand behind the scenes and speak out.
“Right.” The director asked suddenly, “The tour is about to run around. Can you follow the crew to the field?”
Tan Yiming was embarrassed and said, “I’m a voice actor, and I also have a dubbing company in my name. It’s not convenient to leave Huacheng for a long time.”
“It’s easy to do.” The producer interjected, “The tour only needs the first or last scene in each city to let the small talks pass. The other shows are directly recorded and broadcasted, and a sound engineer is arranged in the background to cooperate with Xiang Guai. “
The director pondered for a moment: “Well … it’s okay. The effect of recording and broadcasting is certainly not as good as the effect of reading aloud on site.”
The producer said, “But recording saves money! Actors get money by the show, how much does it cost?”
Everyone present nodded in conviction.
Only when Tan Yiming stayed in place, it took great effort to control him and his expression collapsed.
Although he had heard that the production of musicals had limited funds, and a penny would have to be split into two petals, but it is really rare to carefully calculate to this extent …
The premiere of “Wait for a Polar Day” was at the end of January. Online and offline publicity started as early as December. Hwaseong is the base of the crew, and its first performance will be set at the Shanhe Theater.
This drama is a rare one-man show, for which the Shanhe Theater was specially modified.
One of the halls, which was large enough to accommodate three hundred people, was transformed into a “four-sided platform”-actors stood on the stage in the center, and four groups of staircases surrounded the stage. A group of grandstands can seat 80 people and can accommodate a total of 320 spectators.
The day before the premiere, the entire theater stayed up all night. After the lighting and sound engineers adjusted the equipment, they couldn’t support going home to sleep.
The whole theater was empty, leaving only a headlight at the top of the hall, leaving a touch of light.
Suddenly—the door of the theater was pushed open.
The two figures held hands and slowly stepped into the theater.
“Look.” Xiang Guai’s eyes chased the light, softly, “It’s the stage.”
Tan Yiming looked down his eyes.
Men have never seen such a stage. The whole theater is like the Colosseum of ancient Rome. The stage in the middle is very low, while the auditorium around it is high.
The audience will see the actor’s performance from a bird’s-eye view, as if God is examining a period of life.
The two joined hands and stepped onto the stage.
The light above his head was bright, and it landed on the ground, forming a huge, warm yellow aperture. The two stood in the aperture and looked around.
Tan Yiming didn’t know how to describe the feeling at this moment. Although the surrounding area was empty now, he thought that after more than ten hours, there would be 320 pairs of eyes overlooking the stage.
The stage was small, less than twenty square meters, but crowded out several scenes. Xiang Guai will constantly walk between these scenes. He decorated 12 characters by himself, changed clothes on the stage five times, and sang fifteen songs and read more than 10,000 lines in two hours. … can’t make a mistake.
Tan Yiming asked Xiang Gui: “Guess you are nervous?”
“I’m not nervous.” Shakes his head to Guai. “Because I’m not alone on this stage.”
Tan Yiming: “Yes, the live band is not far from you, you can see when you look up.”
“No, I am not referring to them.”
Xiang Gu’s eyes softly looked at his lover.
The boy said, “I mean you.”
The man was stunned.
Xiang Guai said, “Just like the actor has the polar day, I also have your company, don’t I?”
Everywhere you see is darkness, only they are in the light.
Xiang Gu put himself into Tan Yiming’s arms and put his head on his shoulder.
The whole hall was quiet, only two heartbeats were so clear.
Gradually, the sound of heartbeats merged.
The man’s voice fell to Xiang Guai’s ears, and warm air blew through his hair.
“Guess,” Tan Yiming solemnly said, “I believe that in the future you will set foot on a larger stage, have more audiences, and perform more well-known plays … and I will stay with you like today of.”
“–it is good.”
The little swan has been flying alone for so long, and now he is finally home.
