Lin Rou, Su Su and their assistants followed Li Hong into the inner passage of Lin En Theater.
The place is slightly remote, and the sounds of tourists and spectators are far away. Not long after, Li Hong pushed open the door of the second rehearsal room, and the harmonies immediately flooded into his ears, and there was also the sound of stepping on the floor.
The group of people walked in quietly. Qin Jue's eyes briefly moved here, nodded slightly, and then looked forward attentively.
Li Hong said softly: "I'm going to get the chairs. Just wait a moment. They'll be there soon."
"Ah, it's okay." Lin Rou lowered her voice and waved her hands. She saw Xu Shuangshuang sitting not far away with her legs crossed like she was in the dance studio, so she also walked over, took up her skirt and sat next to her.
Su Su is also very knowledgeable.
Li Hong naturally would not stop him, but he still carefully moved a few chairs for these assistants to sit.
Time passed by minute by second. Lin Rou and Su Su didn't know what the situation was now, but looking at Xu Shuangshuang's slightly nervous look and Qin Jue's serious look, they vaguely guessed something, so they remained quiet and watched.
A few minutes passed, and Qin Jue shouted to stop.
At the troupe leader's signal, the people who had just been divided into three groups stood in two groups far opposite each other, leaving an open space in the middle.
Qin Jue nodded: "Start."
A man wearing a T-shirt and a slightly older face walked out from the left. At the same time, a woman anxiously walked towards him holding a non-existent skirt, and the two met in the middle.
They only moved their mouths and expressions, and did not make any sounds, but they had already expressed a series of emotional changes.
This approach is very clever, because they don’t know what the blue group’s works are like, so trying to come up with a plot will be self-defeating.
The woman opened and closed her lips eagerly, with obvious worry on her face, while the man hesitated, struggled, and frowned.
They sometimes "speak" to each other, sometimes interrupt each other's words. After such an argument, the man's expression became firm for a moment. He pressed down his palms, making a "Okay, listen to me" gesture, and then said to What did the woman say.
The woman was surprised at first, then her eyes quickly calmed down, and she nodded firmly and forcefully.
After that, they both turned around immediately and left the stage in a hurry. This ends a performance.
Even Lin Rou and Su Su, who were completely unaware of the situation, could understand what kind of plot they expressed.
After a brief pause for a few seconds, young and mature women on the left and right walked briskly toward the center. They either bent down to "mop the floor" or stood on tiptoe to "clean the windows."
Unlike the mime in the first act, the actors in the second act interact with each other for a few lines while cleaning, and then a woman holding a non-existent broom starts singing, and someone immediately takes over.
Qin Jue raised his eyes.
The melody of this song, which I have never heard before, is cheerful. The actors have excellent singing skills and a tacit cooperation. They dance and move around the venue in chorus, occasionally inserting cleaning movements, and there is a small fixed point appearance at the end.
After that, the "maids" retreated, and a group of men and women entered the room gracefully. The women held their skirts in one hand and a non-existent European-style fan in the other, while the men held their chests and heads high.
They took one step forward, then another, staggered, and then the men bent down and stretched out their hands, and the women smiled coquettishly or dropped their hands generously. Afterwards, the people who formed a dance partner began to spin and dance.
Qin Jue looked at it seriously for a while, then clapped his hands to indicate that he could stop.
"It's hard work. Do you have any previous experience in the last two paragraphs?" she asked.
The director of the troupe replied: "We have performed similar scenes, and everyone still has an impression."
"Stage drama" originally originated in the West. The "court drama" mentioned by Qin Jue is very common in operas and musicals, and most people with experience in the industry can easily master it. And their troupe just finished a tour not long ago, and the movements and moves are all fresh in the memory, and there are no mistakes.
Qin Jue nodded thoughtfully.
"Very powerful and very efficient." She smiled and said, "Everyone, please take a rest first. Thank you for your hard work."
There were several rows of chairs on the outermost edge of the rehearsal room. Some people nodded and sat down, while others sat on the floor like Lin Rou and the others.
Qin Jue didn't say the result, but her attitude was very friendly. The troupe leader named Wu Haizhou was a little confused for a while, not sure whether she was speaking tactfully or really expressing her affirmation.
"Su Su, Lin Rou." Qin Jue said.
"Here!" Su Su raised her hand full of energy and got up from the ground together with Lin Rou.
"Prepare the second song, the Chinese version."
After giving instructions, Qin Jue turned around and walked towards the piano not far away.
She noticed the piano as soon as she entered the door. Judging from Li Hong's expression, there should be nothing wrong with it and it could still be used normally.
Take a seat, adjust the chair, open the lid, and check the sound.
Several groups of arpeggios are smooth and beautiful, and an expert will know his skills as soon as he hears it. Wu Haizhou couldn't help but praise it secretly in his heart.
At the end of the sound check, Qin Jue crossed his fingers twice, and the piano sounded immediately.
A few bars of the piece passed quickly, and Su Su spoke immediately.
Her voice is bright and lively, embodying the cheerfulness of her lyrics. Qin Jue's piano sound lay beneath the singing without lowering the volume. The fine and fast notes complemented Su Su's simple and melodious melody, and the combination was not cumbersome.
"We often pass by the empty ballroom. What's the point of not having a ball? They finally opened the door-"
Su Su sang and performed, jumping forward a small step, spreading her hands, with an excited and expectant smile on her face.
Then her voice became softer and she tentatively sang the two lines "The guests will arrive at this time, it feels a bit strange." At this moment, Qin Jue's piano sound fell heavily!
"But I'm ready for this change—"
A string of increasingly louder piano sounds unfolded upwards, the song reached a climax, and Su Su's singing became brighter and broader.
The arrangement was gentle again in the chorus, but after a brief relaxation, the piano sounds started to vibrate again. Repeatedly, it was like a well-paced river that steadily supported Su Su's voice.
“It’s been a long time since I felt fun and surprised in my life; it’s been a long time since I’ve attracted other people’s attention in my life.
"I know I'm a little crazy, dreaming about a romantic world -
"But it's been a long time since I've been in my life—"
Su Su's singing voice is full of longing and dreaminess, and the last line "I've met a good time!" is playful and cute, and has brought the audience into the scene described in the lyrics.
Qin Jue moved his right hand towards the right side of the piano, and gently pressed the bass with his left hand. Two clear high notes were repeated rapidly, and the piano sound suddenly changed its mood.
Lin Rou was already in a good mood. As soon as he opened his mouth, the extremely steady low voice made Li Hong and Wu Haizhou open their eyes in surprise at the same time.
"Don't let them come in and see. Do what you have to do, just like you did before.
"Hide. Hold back. Perform with all your strength—"
Her voice turned from low to high, "You can't make a mistake and let the secret be discovered..."
"But only today—"
"Only today~!" Su Su's singing voice suddenly sounded.
"Say goodbye to pain——"
"Say goodbye to pain~!"
Duet? !
Everyone's eyes lit up. Not to mention Li Hong, Wu Haizhou and others who had been immersed in stage dramas for many years, even the assistants sitting next to them couldn't help being shocked.
Although I don’t understand the way, I feel it is very powerful!
When Lin Rou and Su Su's voices overlapped, the piano sound suddenly became heavier.
“I haven’t been in my life for a long time——(Don’t let them come in and see——)”
"My dream comes true - (Do what you have to do like you did before -)"
One side talks about dreams and expectations, while the other side is extremely heavy, repeatedly emphasizing that one must never make a mistake.
Songs with completely opposite lyrics and emotions sounded one after another, and the piano sounded heavier, even heavier!
With such forceful playing of the piano, Lin Rou closed her lips, and Su Su finished.
It is still a melodious song containing passion and longing, singing all the way up, and finally ending in joy.
When the song ended, Qin Jue's hands left the black and white keys.
"Go get a drink of water." She said to Su Su, "Lin Rou, solo song."
"Okay." "Oh, okay -"
The two of them responded one after another.
Su Su patted her slightly red cheeks. She was still nervous. Her performance just now was not very good.
If this was a formal performance, she would have narrowly missed out on several "stage accidents."
As expected, musicals are really difficult...
Su Su held the water bottle and sat next to the assistant, shaking her fist vigorously in her heart.
Just have to work harder!
While she was cheering herself up, Qin Jue's piano sounded again.
It is still a repetitive prelude, the melody is simple, melodious, and memorable.
Lin Rou hugged her arms, lowered her head, and spoke.
