Overturn the Entertainment Circle - Chapter 170
Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂
Chapter 170
After the shooting of the four short films is over, they still need to undergo editing and post-production before they are handed over to director Jin for scoring.
Qi Han and Yin Shuang Shuang never figured out whether Yin Shuang Shuang was a robot, an inflatable doll, or something in the final short film. What to do? And the director who shot this short film just smiled shyly, said nothing, and continued to remain mysterious.
At the same time, Director Jin’s assistant also notified Yin Shuang Shuang that her next assignment was a stage play.
For this reason, she went to the National Grand Theater for the first time and watched a play with Bai Mo in the Grand Theater.
Like a movie theatre, the Grand Theater has a ban on having sex on the spot, and there is not even a box in the Grand Theater. It adopts a complete prohibition of sexual intercourse. Therefore, hotels and guesthouses around the theatre are particularly popular.
The repertoire they watched was quite simple—a simple love story. Unlike in movies, sexual intercourse in stage dramas was carried out directly in front of the audience. Facing the audience was more intuitive in terms of emotional motivation. Moreover, when entering, the welcome lady sent everyone a pair of glasses equivalent to binoculars to ensure that they could see all the actors’ performances on the stage.
This is equivalent to magnifying the shortcomings and then magnifying them. Others can clearly see whether the actor’s performance on the stage is good or bad. Unlike movies, NG can be retaken, and what will always appear in the eyes of the audience are the carefully selected shots.
After watching a stage play, unlike other people so contented, they hurriedly found a place to have sex as soon as they left the theatre. Yin Shuang Shuang said goodbye to Bai Mo and returned home.
She only feels a lot of pressure now. At the same time, she also received the script of the stage play. To her surprise, it was a costume drama.
The next day, she went to the rehearsal hall of the Grand Theater and met the director and other actors this time.
The director is a middle-aged man and an old friend of Director Jin. He only met her with the proper politeness, but it was more of a look.
Although she just won a Golden Liquid award for a female supporting role, her acting skills are debatable in the eyes of these old stage actors.
The story content of this play is very simple and clichéd. It is the story of an ancient courtesan who fell in love with a scholar and escaped but was betrayed.
It is a classic play in stage play, and her role is the one that runs through the whole play-the old pimp.
Although Director Jin has a name, Yin Shuang Shuang doesn’t have that big face yet. It would be nice to be able to shove her in.
He wants her to play the role of the famous courtesan Qingqing, let alone the original heroine who is dissatisfied.
She is afraid that her first role in the stage play will be messed up, so she has no objection to playing the old pimp. On the contrary, she still finds it very interesting and has room to play. After all, the old pimp is fundamentally an ancient black-hearted female tyrant. Ah!
Yin Shuang Shuang is thinking deeply. This character has quite a lot of scenes. Her scene almost every time she hits the mandarin ducks, but she is not the biggest villain in the play. If she operates properly, she can also win a wave of audience favorability.
(mandarin ducks = lifelong couples, unlike other species of ducks. Hence, they are regarded as a symbol of conjugal affection and fidelity)
Of course, she also has a fleshy sex scene. The concubine is not young, and the prince chose her, which can be regarded as the treasure of this brothel.
When everyone is almost ready, the director will start rehearsing, and the show is expected to be officially broadcast two months later.
At the beginning of the rehearsal, Yin Shuang Shuang was still a little unable to relax her body. The stage play is different from other performance methods. There is no way to contain many movement details. However, she lets go of the acting theory she knows and Yin Shuang Shuang, presenting a showy and playful old woman flexibly and spiritually.
Yin Shuang Shuang was easily overwhelmed initially and became increasingly frustrated. After a rehearsal period, she could do it even when she met Yang Jing, who was already 30 years old and played the heroine.
In the eyes of the world, Yang Jing is not very beautiful, so she can’t get on the small or big screen. She can only choose the stage play industry. Stage drama is about the performance and the ability to provoke lust. The visual is second.
***
When she was ten years old, Qingqing was selected by the old pimp Su Zhen to enter the Fragrant Garden. When she appeared on the stage, her name and talent were already famous in the capital. This was the day when she was officially listed in front of everyone.
In the morning, Su Zhen assigned a bunch of servants and maidservants from the brothel to clean the layout and arrange the already luxurious front courtyard of the fragrant courtyard into a wedding hall.
*The manager of the Fragrance garden walked up to her and whispered a few words. Su Zhen’s beautiful eyebrows frowned and became a bit sharper. She wore a nail set on her hand, scratched her hair, and smiled again, then twisted her waist and walked to another scene.
(The original word for manager uses the word guī gōng, which means to commandeer or take over for the state. Or the pimp)
As she walked, another scene lit up from the darkness at the corner of the stage. A naked woman was hanging on the rack with her dying breath, her body covered with scars.
Su Zhen took a long whip from the manager’s hand, slapped the whip, and swung it towards the woman. For this scene, Yin Shuang Shuang practised hard for many days, using the blind spots of the stage vision so that this whip would neither be swung at the actress in the opposite scene nor at the same time show Su Zhen’s ruthlessness.
The actress in the opposite scene shrank cooperatively. Yin Shuang Shuang threw the whip to the manager, walked to the woman, and sighed faintly, “Yue’er…” This sound made the woman shrink again. Su Zhen slowly drew a circle around the woman’s areola with the nail sleeve on her little finger, “Is it worth not picking up customers for a cheap man?”
The woman murmured and couldn’t utter a word. Su Zhen saw that she was hesitant and lost her patience, so she turned around gracefully and said to the manager waiting by the side, “Sell her to the dark prostitution dormitory.”
“No, no—mom, please—”
Ignoring the hoarse voice behind her, Su Zhen walked out with a swaying waist, still mumbling to the manager beside her, “Isn’t it good to only pick up one benefactor every night? “How comfortable is it to be a pimp like me for ten or eight years? You must go to the secret brothel for a walk to know how good it is here.” It’s a look of pride.
The manager humbly replied, “Well, what you said is true.”
This corner of the stage was darkened, and the other corner was lit up. Qingqing was dressed in a mirror, slowly telling about her life and her worries.
Yin Shuang Shuang got off the stage, took the time to drink, and stared at Yang Jing’s performance on stage. Now that the general rehearsal has arrived and the performance date is approaching, everyone in the theatre is quite nervous. Once something goes wrong, it will inevitably be scolded by the director. Even Yang Jing was scolded several times.
Bai Ming stood beside her, dressed as an aristocratic prince. He was originally from a stage play, so Yin Shuang Shuang didn’t find it strange when she first saw him appear in rehearsals together.
But what made Yin Shuang Shuang strange was that Lu Yi actually came too, playing the role of the male protagonist scholar. Lu Yi and Yin Shuang Shuang found a reason to fabricate the past, but after he knew that she was just playing the old pimp, he couldn’t help but turn his back on her and collapse in private.
Si Li also often appeared in the theatre in the name of visiting Lu Yi and gave the theatre a lot of sponsorship, so it made sense to sneak over to watch Yin Shuang Shuang rehearsals.
