The next day, four o'clock in the morning.
Qin Jue pushed the edge of the table, stood up from the sliding boss chair, turned around and went to the bathroom to wash his face.
She stayed up all night last night, and now the stripping project in her computer is still hot, and there are a few more background music in the hard drive that can be put into use directly.
Musicals are always sung from beginning to end. In contrast, their singing part is very small. It doesn't matter how much space is left on the BGM. Qin Jue can make up for it.
After two hours of sleep, at six o'clock sharp, Zhang Ming knocked on the door of the room with breakfast. Qin Jue finished the breakfast and rushed to Lin En Theater.
When he opened the door of the second rehearsal room, he could hear Su Su practicing her voice.
Qin Jue didn't deliberately move lightly. Su Su noticed her arrival. The two of them looked at each other and said hello, then went about their own business.
An hour later, Lin Rou and Xu Shuangshuang also arrived.
"Just in time."
Qin Jue handed the tablet to them. On it was the script updated to the sixth edition.
Wu Haizhou, the leader of the Qing Opera Troupe, was not idle last night. He seemed to be stimulated by Qin Jue's generous advance payment and was eager to show his sincerity, so he spared a lot of time to carefully revise the script.
With his supervision, the entire script, from the plot to the rhythm, became much clearer. On this basis, Qin Jue just made further modifications to the details with reference to the original work, which is enough for rehearsal. If there are any problems, they will be rectified at any time in actual combat.
Letting Lin Rou and Xu Shuangshuang watch first, Qin Jue put on his cap and went out.
The Qingqu Troupe moved very quickly. At this point, people were already arriving one after another with their suitcases. Hu Changchai and Zhang Ming were waiting for them to register at the door of another hotel they had booked.
Qin Jue is waiting for the behind-the-scenes, videographers and other personnel sent by Qiao Yuansu and the program team.
She originally planned to wait until after nine o'clock before contacting the program team of "Entertainment Intern", but the other party was obviously more considerate and sent a message early in the morning to ask how the situation was going. Qin Jue was not polite, and promptly told him about the action scenes, waiting for equipment and staff to be dispatched there, and to first arrange the rehearsal space in the gymnasium.
Qiao Yuansu has become much more relaxed since he handed over the peripheral design to his assistant. He said last night that he would rush to see the semi-open-air stage of the Lynn Theater and prepare to design props and scenery.
Although he prefers to fish, he is also unambiguous when it comes to work, and has strong organizational and leadership skills. Now he is in charge of a total of 20 assistants in the props team and art team. Everyone performs their own duties and works on peripherals. Those who work on peripherals and those who watch the stage watch the stage. So far, there hasn’t been any trouble.
"By the way, Teacher Cong told Teacher Gu that we need to add more assistants. Do we still have enough 'balance'?"
After the meeting, Qiao Yuansu and Qin Juezhi exchanged words.
Qin Jue quickly calculated: "That's enough, let them both discuss how to add it."
Although the program team provides ten assistants each for the filming and recording of Fuhua Road, this is not fixed and can be adjusted flexibly, as long as the total number of people does not exceed sixty.
The blue group who chose live performance did not have so many demands on photography and recording. Qin Jue entrusted the recording to Lin En Theater, and Qiu He and the others were responsible for the central control and mixing. After all, the sound effects had to match the special effects, and ordinary people really couldn't handle this. The camera department selected five assistants to shoot the moving lines, and fixed-point cameras were set up in other parts, mainly handed over to the additionally hired director team.
After all calculations, there are still fifteen spots available in the blue group.
The work of Cong Ning'an and Gu Wensong is closely related to the number of actors, especially the former. So many costumes are not a small amount, even if they are half rented and half original, it will take a lot of effort.
In comparison, Gu Wensong was more relaxed. He didn't have much to do in the early stage and would concentrate on his work after the performance.
"Squad leader, take a look at this design plan." In the gymnasium, Qiao Yuansu took advantage of the opportunity and handed the sketch to Qin Jue.
Qin Jue glanced at it and his eyebrows twitched slightly.
"You can really find trouble for me." She commented in an admiring tone, and then added, "I will go and discuss with Boss Li when I have time today."
Putting the sketch away, Qin Jue continued to stare at the gymnasium.
"Teacher! Add a soft cushion here, and then set up a ladder there. The steps should be four levels! And leave some space on that side to make room for the Wia crane... Yes, yes. That's it."
Qin never intends to use human power for formal stage performances. That would be too variable and prone to stage accidents. The purpose of arranging wire masters now is just to train Xu Shuangshuang and Su Su, and to set the track.
After the movement trajectory of the wire rope (steel wire) is determined, we will find Qinyi Technology to make CNC wires and use a motor to control the retraction and expansion of the wire.
After being busy until 8:30, Qin Jue hurried back to the rehearsal room and transferred some money to Qiao Yuansu who was going to watch the stage.
"What is the purpose of this?" Qiao Yuansu was confused.
"It's not a public account." Qin Jue smiled casually, "I'll pay for you to watch the play personally, but you have to see the stage structure anyway, right?"
Qiao Yuansu laughed: "Okay."
When they arrived at the rehearsal room, all members of the Qingqu Troupe were already present. Next to Wu Haizhou were two pink little girls, who were already enjoying themselves with Lin Rou and Su Su.
"Team leader!" "Team Qin."
Seeing Qin Jue come in, everyone spoke out one after another.
"Good morning, everyone." Qin Jue pasted a two-arm-wide structural diagram on the whiteboard, "Without further ado, let's get to work."
Movement is an indispensable part of dramatic performance. For stage rehearsals, professionals will divide the positions from the perspective of the actors. The part of the stage close to the audience is called down hill, while the part inside the curtain is called up hill. In addition, the upper left part will be subdivided. , lower left, upper right, lower right, etc., the direction is completely opposite to the audience's perspective.
Considering that Su Su did not have stage performance experience like Lin Rou and Xu Shuangshuang, as well as whether it was convenient for Qiu He and others to do special effects, Qin Jue introduced a new positioning method.
She marked many nodes in the form of a grid on the entire stage structure design. If there is a situation where up, down, left and right cannot be distinguished during communication, she can directly use "position 11.5" or "go to 7" to describe it, presumably. It will save some trouble.
"Little Elsa and little Anna, come on, let's pretend that side is the auditorium."
Qin Jue tapped the whiteboard with his knuckles and said to the two little girls sitting there obediently as if giving a lecture.
Wu Haizhou received the signal from her eyes, and together with the children's parents, they took them to the open space of the rehearsal room to try out their positions.
"The opening is center stage..."
Qin Jue narrated the play on the spot, starting from the beginning and going down the line.
As she talked, the two young actors followed along with the help of adults, sketching out the prototype step by step.
"OK, Elsa come and sing to me, 'Do you want to build a snowman'... Anna, what do you want to say to your sister?"
"Hmm -" The little girl with a double ponytail thought for a moment and replied loudly: "'Of course I do'!"
"Very good, that's it." Qin Jue smiled, "Then Aisha sang to me, 'Then let's build a snowman all night'..."
"Great!"
The little girl with twin tails jumped so high.
Everyone in the rehearsal room was amused. Qin Jue smiled and knocked on the whiteboard: "Okay, let's do it like this. Come on to the next line. Aisha stretched out her hands... Okay, a little higher, holding them flat, right... Let's sing , 'Me and You' - Anna, can you sing it with your sister after the word 'I'? Let's do it again, starting with reaching out."
Su Su, who was watching, couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled. She leaned next to Lin Rou and whispered:
"The monitor looks like a kindergarten teacher, so gentle and cute."
Lin Rou also laughed. They were all used to Qin Jue's serious and serious look. They didn't expect her to have such a patient tone when speaking to children. Her tone was soft and she still had a smile on her lips. The little girls who were a little nervous before were now My eyes are filled with stars.
"...After singing 'Me and You', everyone will appear. Teacher Wu, there will be a chorus and group dance here. Can you listen to this music and see if it works?" Qin Jue continued.
The morning passed very quickly. Wu Haizhou and Qin Jue changed the melody and lyrics of the chorus again and again, and finally decided to divide the male and female actors into groups. The female voice was responsible for the more positive lyrics, while the male voice sang the foreshadowing and crisis in a bass. , the two sides are sung alternately, and the end is fused together and sung together. This opening song that explains the background is temporarily named "Ode to Arendelle".
The choreography of the dance is also going very smoothly. Because there are still the king, queen and two little princesses standing in front of the stage, the actors playing the maids and the citizens do not need to use too complicated and fancy dance moves. They mainly focus on turning in circles and raising their hands. .
"Thank you for your hard work. We are on lunch break now. Teachers, we will see you in two hours."
Qin Jue clapped his hands and bowed slightly.
"Okay." "Thank you for your hard work——"
Everyone dispersed on the spot. Although the content schedule was quite full in the past few hours, there was not no time for rest. The actors were all in good condition.
The blue group will receive accommodation but not food. It was rare to come to ISCA, and many people wanted to stop by. The two little girls went out to eat with their parents. Some of the remaining people went back to take a nap, and some gathered together to order takeout. Qin Jue followed them. go.
"Brother Qin." Zhang Ming came over with a lunch box.
"Leave it there." Qin Jue was still looking at the computer review.
This morning, their progress was eight minutes. I believe that by the time today is over, I will be able to finish at least the first fifteen minutes.
After finishing the core steps, lines, and arias, all that's left is to change the costumes and consolidate them. From the learning stage to the review stage, boring becomes boring, but the best thing is stability, and daily rehearsals are enough.
"call……"
After a while, Qin Jue stood up, stretched his muscles, and found a corner to eat.
"You two remember to eat." Before leaving, she reminded Lin Rou and Su Su, who were still practicing singing, and then went out to meet Qiao Yuansu.
On the way, Qin Jue saw Gao Jiangcheng again. He still took the initiative to work as a free laborer near the Lynn Theater to help attract customers. Qin Jue walked over and chatted with him for a few words, listening to what he said about the recent "Mr. Comedy" The attendance rate was pretty good, so I smiled and said congratulations.
"Ah! Qin...Teacher Qin!"
A cry of surprise came, and after pronouncing the word "Qin", he deliberately lowered his voice, but his tone still couldn't hide his excitement.
Qin Jue looked up and saw that she was discovered by the audience coming out of the Lin En Theater.
Um? It looks familiar.
"Are you a fan of Lin Rou?" she said hello.
The young girl who was arm-in-arm with her best friend was even more surprised and nodded repeatedly: "How did you know?"
"I saw you holding a banner at "Yu Xi" before." Qin Jue said with a smile.
"Ah, that's it." The fan patted his forehead in embarrassment.
She hesitated and asked in a low voice: "So where is the blue team now...?"
As she said that, she pointed to the Lynn Theater.
"Rehearsing." Qin Jue said half-seriously, "The venue is still under investigation, so I took advantage of my lunch break to come here to inspect."
"Oh!" Fans doubted that he was there.
She had participated in the seventh round of re-enrollment, and knew that the red and blue teams would appear in ISCA this time, so she brought her best friends over to hang out when she had time.
The Blue Team mentioned the theater many times at that time, and now that they have met Qin Jue, it seems that they are indeed going to perform live! Great!
"Uh, Teacher Qin! I'm really sorry, could you please pass this letter on my behalf..."
The fan suddenly remembered something and hurriedly took out a cute envelope and two small chocolates from his bag.
Qin Jue laughed dumbly: "You're not waiting to be arrested next to various theaters today, are you?"
"No, no, I'm not a bastard fan!" The fan quickly waved his hand, "That's right, people have to have dreams, just in case they meet one!"
Qin Jue saw that she was not telling lies, so he smiled and accepted: "Okay, I will hand it over to her later."
"Wow, ah, that's great, thank you, thank you!" Fans said excitedly, "Our teacher Qin is a kind-hearted person!"
"Ahem, no need, no need..."
Qin Jue showed the familiar embarrassed expression of his old father.
"By the way, did you come out after watching "Mr. Comedy"?" Seeing that the fans still wanted to ask questions, Qin Jue spoke first.
"Yeah, yes." The fan looked at Gao Jiangcheng, "This is the big brother who brought Amway to us."
"That's just right. If it's convenient, can you write a feedback questionnaire? Just the QR code." Qin Jue pointed to the roll-up advertisement at the door, "How is the view of the seats inside, how is the service, and is the audience interaction interesting? It’s a reference for the theater and for us by the way.”
"Okay!" The fan nodded, forgetting the question he wanted to ask, and took his best friend to scan the QR code.
Qin Jue said goodbye to them and Gao Jiangcheng naturally, and received a grateful smile from Gao Jiangcheng.
The feedback from the questionnaire can also be seen by the creative team of "Mr. Comedy", which is very important to creators and performers.
Quietly gathering his sense of presence, Qin Jue went to find Qiao Yuansu, not forgetting to mention a few words in the discussion group, asking everyone to pay more attention when going back and forth between the theater and the hotel.
It's okay to meet fans like this by chance, but if there are really those kind of fanatical fans who insist on staying at the venue, it will undoubtedly have a negative impact on their travel and rehearsals.
After meeting Qiao Yuansu, Qin Jue realized that this guy had already talked to Li Hong in the morning. I don't know what method he used to get Li Hong's permission for modification. Now the design drawing in his hand has been changed. On to the second edition.
"Okay, let's wait for Qin Yi Technology to come and start work."
Qin Jue nodded, "But why not just set up a few stage tracks? Are you worried about affecting the audience's admission?"
There is an arc-shaped open space between the VIP auditorium of Lynn Theater and the open-air seats in the stepped square behind it. Qiao Yuansu wanted to make a fuss in the open space.
"That was my original plan, but then I thought about it. The most important thing about our work is the sense of presence and immersion."
Qiao Yuansu explained, "If an extended stage is built, the audience will know 'what is going to be performed here' and there will be no surprises. And with such psychological expectations, just like people looking at the screen of their mobile phones, they will always be reminded 'this is Acting', it felt inappropriate."
