With funds in hand, it is more than enough to solve the accommodation problem. Taking into account the special status of entertainment artists and the possibility of paparazzi staying after the seventh round of publicity, Qin Jue asked Hu Changchai to book a hotel with high security, about fifteen minutes' drive from Lin En Theater.
Arranging accommodation and daily living are all the tasks of life producers in the crew, but the blue team has too few people to help, so Qin Jue simply does it all.
About half an hour later, Xu Shuangshuang rushed back and checked in with everyone.
I don't know whether it's because the company is relatively free or because she said hello in advance. Compared with Lin Rou and Su Su, she is not as "treasured".
"Are you still chatting with the Qingqu Troupe?" Qin Jue asked casually.
"Well, there are quite a lot of people, so it's hard to decide." Xu Shuangshuang said, "Where are you going?"
"Gymnasium. Let's see how to arrange the rehearsal venue for action scenes." Qin Jue replied.
"Take me one." Xu Shuangshuang followed.
At this time, the night in ISCA had just begun and it was bustling. A few people avoided the bustling crowd and walked to their destination. As we walked, the neighborhood gradually became deserted.
Xu Shuangshuang turned around and glanced at the Lynn Theater not far away. It was not very popular there, but it was not crowded either. It could only be said to be quite satisfactory.
Just like the domestic drama circle.
"Qingqu Troupe is the troupe I worked for before." She said suddenly.
"Oh? Isn't it a musical troupe?" Qin Jue answered.
"Not entirely," Xu Shuangshuang said, "The troupe was still very big at that time, and it was divided into a drama group and a musical group. Later, when the recession hit, all the people left, and that's all that's left now."
There was a touch of desolation in her tone.
Qin Jue: "People have to eat."
Some people are silly idealists who are willing to sacrifice themselves in order to pursue their dreams, but some people will accept the fact of being "defeated by reality" and find other ways out faster and earlier. No one is wrong.
Xu Shuangshuang smiled: "That's true."
They were walking on the stone path, and from time to time there could be heard the chirping of cicadas nearby.
Xu Shuangshuang was quiet for a while and then said while walking:
"We can also ask Uncle Wu for help with the soundtrack and script. He is very good. In the past, most of the choreography in the troupe relied on him. Then we can ask Aunt Chen for the costumes. She is the best tailor in the troupe. And... "
Xu Shuangshuang reported the abilities of the members of the Qingqu Opera Troupe one by one, "Oh, the girl with the high ponytail in the group just now is my college roommate. Her name is Wu Xiaofan, and she can sing the high part very well. Qingqu Opera Troupe It’s opened by their family.”
Qin Jue listened carefully and nodded to show that he remembered.
Xu Shuangshuang pursed her lips with a complicated expression.
"Monitor, am I doing this selfishly?" she asked.
"Forget it." Qin Jue said calmly, "But I don't care. It's a good thing to have people."
"Hahahahaha. Okay!"
Xu Shuangshuang said happily, "Hey, it's true... my former employer has declined in recent years. I feel uncomfortable, so I want to help."
There was both cheerfulness and helplessness in her smile:
"After graduating from college, I joined the Qing Opera Troupe and performed back and forth for more than three years. I saw fewer and fewer people in the troupe.
"It's so annoying! If you spend money on advertising, you won't have enough money to continue to work on your work. But if you don't spend it, not many people will watch the show no matter how proud it is. Everyone only likes to watch famous and classic ones. , except for dedicated reviewers, few are willing to "test the poison", and even if there is a new drama, the results will be bleak.
"For us, performing those classic dramas over and over again is not a better training for our own abilities. Some people feel that they are going to vomit, and they can't stand the constant fluctuations every day, so they just left. .
"So the situation of the troupe got worse and worse later on." Xu Shuangshuang sighed, "At that time, I was the one who performed best and worked hardest in the troupe, and my fans gradually accumulated from that time. Seeing the Qing Opera Opera The group became more and more confused, fans were trying to persuade me, my roommate was trying to persuade me, and finally Uncle Wu came to persuade me.”
"They all said that it would be a pity for me to act in a drama with my ability, so I should switch to the film and television industry."
Xu Shuangshuang said with a wry smile, "In the film and television industry, no matter how bad you are, it's still better than staying in the theater troupe with no meals at all."
So she reluctantly left under everyone's kind persuasion. After that, reality really confirmed to her that they were right - indeed, even if she only played supporting actresses in a few TV series, plus martial arts stunt doubles and commercial appearances, she would earn more than in a theater troupe.
Only occasionally Xu Shuangshuang looked back and still felt it was a pity.
She didn't know what to feel regretful about. The general environment was like this. Even the ups and downs in the stage play circle were very weak, and unknown small theater troupes were going back and forth on the line of food and clothing.
There was even a funny incident where a male lead actor in a certain theater troupe had a messed up private life and was criticized. As a result, no one recognized him because he was too confused, and netizens didn’t even bother to eat.
Xu Shuangshuang sighed as many memories flashed before his eyes.
She thought of some stage accidents that caused cardiorespiratory arrest; she thought of how she couldn't sleep in anticipation the day before the performance, only to find that less than one-third of the audience was occupied when she went on stage the next day; she thought of her friends in the drama group who knew they would only come today. After meeting four people in the audience, I almost cried and asked Wu Haizhou to refund the ticket. I didn’t want to perform today. I couldn’t make it back with such a small amount of money. In the end, I changed into my costume and put on full makeup, and tried my best to cheer up and be serious. Acted it out carefully.
Then I remembered that many people were sitting down there chatting loudly, holding up their mobile phones to take photos in the open, or simply leaning their heads to one side and closing their eyes to sleep; I remembered that many times the parents in the audience didn't care what they were performing, and just looked at their phones boredly. , buying seats in the first few rows and letting their children run around, laughing loudly, hoping that the children, who are only a few years old, will be "cultivating their sentiments" from an early age.
Acting on stage is a pretty fucked up thing.
There are lively people on and off the stage, but sometimes the audience does not regard the stage as a person. They only think that the framed stage and the mobile phone screen in their hands are the same thing. The pictures on the screen are always playing fixedly. The people inside will not be affected by any reaction from the spectators.
Unfortunately not.
It is quite scary to face the audience's "don't care" and other negative feedback. The psychological gap cannot be tolerated without a strong heart. So when Su Su came to ask today, Xu Shuangshuang hesitated and described all the details to her truthfully.
"Hey, I feel quite uncomfortable."
After sighing, Xu Shuangshuang clicked her tongue and said, "Speaking of it, I really don't despise anyone, but after acting in a drama and then filming a film and television drama, I really want to laugh. Hey, monitor, you know that before I came to "Entertainment", I was How many 'actors' have you seen on the set who count '1234567' to the camera?"
Qin Jue smiled and shook her head without answering. She knew that Xu Shuangshuang just wanted to complain.
Actor interns who can advance all the way to the final round are either as agile as Yu Qing, or as capable as Qin Jue and Lin Rou. Xu Shuangshuang is the latter.
She is very good at acting, and she is very open-minded. She is very good at acting, and she is not shy about being ugly and weird. When she was in the second round of comedy, she was the most outstanding one among the actresses.
If it weren't for the fifth round when he encountered the script of "Chasing the Phoenix" and the reliable director Fang Youwen, Xu Shuangshuang would have emerged earlier.
Now it is known that she originally came from a drama background. It is normal for a person with such strong stage skills to have some disdain for some star actors in the entertainment industry who are not worthy of their reputation. Qin Jue can understand it.
"It would be great if we could take the opportunity of the "Yu Xi" finals with Qin Yi Technology to make everyone pay more attention to drama." Xu Shuangshuang sighed softly.
She usually doesn't talk so much, but people are like this, and they can't help but talk more when it comes to topics that they care about extra.
Although there are various problems and challenges in live performances, Xu Shuangshuang actually prefers to stand on the stage than facing the camera. There is no need to edit the scenes in the post-production period, and she can act as she wants, which gives her a greater sense of accomplishment.
"Yes, but it's not a long-term solution."
Qin Jue thought for a while and said, "If you have to rely on other things to 'drain' your mood every time, it only shows that the drama itself is still a niche."
"Oh, indeed." Xu Shuangshuang looked helpless.
In China, unlike in the West, the audience base for stage plays is too small.
The gymnasium was in front of them, and the two stopped chatting. Upon entering, Qin Jue and Hu Changchai first went to the person in charge to discuss the rental matter. With Li Hong greeting them first, the matter went smoothly.
"The clear height is fourteen meters, which is enough."
Qin Jue looked up and decided to contact the program team tomorrow morning to bring over the wire equipment and wire master.
The next step was to measure the distance from front to back, left and right, and consider where to place the cushions, etc. Qin Jue's experience when working with the crew of "The Cage" came in handy here, and he quickly drew up a rough plan and waited to arrange it together tomorrow.
"It would look better to make a circle here, or a half circle."
Xu Shuangshuang gestured, "It's like an acrobatic show. You rely on your arm strength to grab the ribbon and run around before flying in a circle."
Qin Jue nodded: "I also plan to use special effects to make you and Su Su fly away or be blown away. This distance is very long. The ideal thing is to fly directly over the nearest row of auditoriums."
"Absolutely! It will be fun to watch people flying overhead. This is the charm of the scene." Xu Shuangshuang agreed very much.
"Well, let's see how Qinyi Technology transforms the stage. The safety of the actors and the audience should be the main priority, and wires cannot be messed up."
The two of them discussed how to add action scenes in the small gymnasium, and by the way, together with Hu Changchai, Zhang Ming and others, they moved the tennis net in the gym to one side to avoid having to worry about it in the morning.
After a while, Wu Haizhou sent a message that their Qingqu Troupe was very efficient, and the results were available half an hour in advance.
Qin Jue rushed back to the Lynn Theater and returned to the second rehearsal room.
Wu Haizhou, the leader of the Qing Opera Troupe, chose the first salary plan given by Qin Jue on behalf of the actors, and said that tomorrow they can move in collectively to a nearby place and keep up with the rehearsals.
The salary of domestic drama actors fluctuates greatly, and it is also linked to the number of performances. The price given by Qin Jue is generous enough based on eleven days of performance. Compared with the unstable profit sharing, Qingqu Troupe is more willing to choose what can be seen with the naked eye. salary.
"Okay, thank you teachers."
Qin Jue asked Hu Changchai to print the contract without saying a word.
No painting is as practical as the direct implementation of benefits. This is a truth she has understood well since the end of the world.
The program team has templates for contracts, with all the details complete, so you can use them directly after making some changes.
After the contract was finalized and Wu Haizhou read it carefully and signed it solemnly, Qin Jue pulled everyone into the Feixun group and the actor group, and sent the plot summary and current script to the latter group chat.
"Two things. The first thing is to divide the roles. Let's discuss it now and decide it tonight."
She said, "The second thing is that I asked Teacher Wu alone. I wonder if the teacher has some connections and can find two young actors?"
"Oh, what kind?" Wu Haizhou asked.
"It's best to be little girls under the age of fourteen." Qin Jue thought for a while and said, "They played the role of Lin Rou and Su Su when they were young."
It's hard to find child actors. Movies and TV shows are better, but there seem to be fewer people here in dramas. Qin Jue asked the program team, but he felt there was little hope. If Wu Haizhou couldn't do anything, he would use other methods instead.
"Huh? I don't know if my child can do it." The aunt named Chen in the troupe interjected, "This year she is in primary four, and she usually learns acting and singing from the troupe."
"That's right, that's what I was about to say." Wu Haizhou said with a smile, "There are a few little babies in the group who are often brought here to do homework, and they also learn a lot by the way. We had them guest star in a drama before. "
"It would be great."
Qin Jue breathed a sigh of relief. It is convenient to have a "family background". "Please help me choose a role, Teacher Wu. They will be responsible for the first fifteen minutes of the show. Well... Strength comes second, the focus is on It’s about not having stage fright.”
"I understand." Wu Haizhou understood what she meant.
"Okay. Let's put this matter aside for now. Now let's decide on the characters. Please open the synopsis of the plot. We will start from the beginning. If we finish it early, you can go back early."
Qin Jue moved on to the next topic neatly, "I don't know yet how many actors and teachers want one person to play two roles or even three roles. Let's decide on a rough look first and let Fu Huadao have an idea."
"First the King and Queen..."
Qin Jue took the lead, Wu Haizhou assisted, and members of the Qing Opera Troupe spoke at any time. The whole process of determining roles went faster than expected.
As expected, professional matters must be left to professionals. Wu Haizhou used a layered method, dividing the roles into those without lines, those with a few lines, those with chorus and harmony, those with interactions with the main characters, those with important interactions, etc., which defined the actors' tasks more clearly.
"Prince Hans' entourage doesn't need too many words. It has a little fighting scene and mainly reflects the number of people." Qin Jue added.
"Understood." Wu Haizhou nodded and skillfully named a few people.
"What is the personality of this diplomat from a neighboring country?" he asked.
"Three kinds of people are needed to cause unrest. Bad people with ulterior motives, fools who are incited, and a large number of innocent people who don't know what is going on."
Qin Juedao, "The diplomat is that fool. He is responsible for Hans deliberately shouting to Elsa, 'Why do you have such terrible power? What on earth are you?!' and then he shouted in horror, 'Oh my God! Arendelle' The Queen is a monster!'"
"A very typical supporting role." Wu Haizhou quickly understood her intention, "I suggest that he can take on some funny roles to add fun and absurdity."
"It makes sense." Qin Jue nodded.
"It's more appropriate to leave this to Lao Liu, hahaha." A short, thin, middle-aged man raised his hand.
"That's right." Wu Haizhou also smiled, "He is a professional comedian in our troupe, and clowning is his old specialty."
"That's troublesome." Qin Jue smiled and nodded.
He added: "A diplomat needs two attendants."
"Okay." Wu Haizhou continued to roll his name.
Nearly half an hour later, Qin Jue checked the list one last time and bowed to everyone in the Qingqu Troupe: "Thank you all, teachers. Please do your best next time."
"Oh, definitely!"
Since Qin Jue was the person in charge and the one who paid them, it was obvious that Party B was from the Qing Opera Troupe. Her attitude shocked everyone.
Although the contact time was short, everyone had a clear and profound impression of Qin Jue's character.
After the business was over, Qin Jue sent Wu Haizhou and others out of the Lin En Theater, not forgetting to thank the boss Li Hong who had been so helpful.
Not long after, everyone in the Qingqu Troupe dispersed at the subway station and went back to their homes.
A few minutes later, a transfer message and a Feixun message suddenly popped up on Wu Haizhou's mobile phone at the same time.
[Qin Jue]: I have already transferred 30% of my salary. Teacher Wu remembers to check it.
The string of numbers symbolizing real money jumped directly in front of his eyes. Wu Haizhou stared blankly at the Feixun message popping up at the top, feeling extremely complicated for a moment.
This Qin Jue...
After a while, he smiled and sighed in his heart.
It's really hard to accept that someone at such a young age has such a method.
