In the scene where he played Huang Shiren for the first time, something happened that made people laugh and cry.
Because Huang Shiren's performance was too in-depth, and his acrimonious and lawless appearance was so real that farmers from rural areas around Zhongdu who came to watch the show broke their guard on the spot.
In the scene where Huang Shiren insulted Xi'er, the two peasant couples were so angry that they couldn't help but raise the Suhuangdu they bought and threw it at Hu Qiang on the stage, and then shouted "Let go" Kai Xi'er] and rushed onto the stage.
Under the dumbfounded gazes of Hu Qiang and Zhang Qiaoqiao, a female revival member who played Xi'er, the two peasant couples were crying and punching and kicking Hu Qiang. Fortunately, other backstage actors rushed forward to separate the situation. It took two peasant couples to calm down this very senseless incident.
Fortunately, Hu Qiang held his head and squatted in defense in time. He only had a few bruises on his body and was not injured. He continued to act out the scene with his strong professionalism.
Afterwards, the two peasant couples who had calmed down came to Hu Qiang and apologized to him in embarrassment, and Hu Qiang graciously forgave them.
"You are so angry that you have forgotten that this is acting, and you are all coming to beat me. It just means that I am acting well. This is the greatest recognition for me. I am very happy, but please don't do such things again. Fortunately, I am fine. If this hurts somewhere, you will still have to be punished, right?"
The incident passed like that, but it became a joke and a good talk in the theater troupe for a long time. It was not forgotten for a long time and was mentioned many times.
Of course, after the incident, the theater troupe issued a notice to all citizens through the publicity channel, explaining that the actors played the roles very carefully, so it will inevitably touch the scars in everyone's hearts that they don't want to be unraveled, but I still hope everyone will stay rational and Stay calm and don't take your anger out on innocent actors.
At the same time, the theater troupe also discovered some loopholes in safety measures and decided to set up a fence between the stage and the viewing platform, which to some extent protected the actors and prevented actors from being beaten again.
But in the final analysis, the occurrence of this incident also shows that the performance of the theater troupe is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and is highly recognized by the people. Everyone has watched it and immersed themselves in the plot, otherwise there would be no such extraordinary performance.
Everyone who has worked hard for this is very happy that they have achieved such an achievement, and they also highly recommend Su Yonglin and Zhao Xirui, the couple who are the leaders in promoting this matter.
Su Yonglin and Zhao Xirui took time to come to the theater troupe many times to express condolences to the actors and behind-the-scenes staff. They spent their own money to treat them to meals many times, encouraged them to keep up their efforts, and personally participated in the rehearsals of new plays.
With the development of all this, the expansion of the scale of theater troupes and the increase in the frequency of performances have become urgent needs that cannot be ignored. The people's pursuit of this art form far exceeds expectations.
Originally they thought that they would only arouse widespread resonance after a nationwide tour, but it turned out that they only performed in Zhongdu and already aroused nationwide enthusiasm.
And with the enthusiastic pursuit of the people in Zhongdu, within half a month, the news of the opening of the theater troupe spread throughout most of the Yanyun area.
The official did not invest any publicity resources in this matter. All enthusiastic viewers turned into tap water and spared no effort to recommend it to outsiders.
The outsider originally came to Zhongdu for business. By chance, he saw a performance and became a theater fan.
One word spreads to ten, and ten spreads to hundreds. In this era where the dissemination of information mainly relies on human power, the news of the theater troupe's performance began to spread to the surrounding areas as if it had wings, and the speed was staggering.
So when Su Yonglin organized the drama troupe's team-building dinner party, he expressed his thoughts half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"At present, the public's recognition of this art form is very high. I think we should make preparations to expand the staff and set up sub-troupes as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will only rely on our backbone actors to perform. To meet the needs of the people, we have to exhaust them to death.”
Su Yonglin smiled and patted Qiao Shi, a young actor from the theater troupe and member of the Renaissance who played the male protagonist Geng Gong in "Thirteen Soldiers Return to Jade Gate" who was sitting next to him.
In order to portray this character well, he could memorize the chapters of history books recording Geng Gong's deeds, and even went to the Department of National History to ask an old gentleman who knew history for advice on historical issues, so that he could better get into the role of Geng Gong.
He felt that during the more than a year of fighting alone, Geng Gong may not have been strong-minded throughout the whole process, and there must have been hesitation and wavering, but he finally persevered.
In order to find out how Geng Gong felt at that time, he read historical records that Geng Gong and the Han soldiers boiled their armored crossbows in water and ate the sinew and leather on them to satisfy their hunger when they ran out of food and supplies. So he felt that if he wanted to To get as close to Geng Gong's situation as possible, hunger and fatigue must be the most important.
So before every rehearsal and performance, he would starve himself, skipping one or two meals, and perform despite the feeling of hunger.
He will burn his passion and energy, and try his best to interpret a man who is struggling on the edge of life and death, on the verge of collapse several times, but relies on his family and country feelings and tenacious will to persevere, and finally achieves the goal of "not being ashamed of the big man" The most glorious and tragic general in history.
At the end of the performance, when the thirteen soldiers helped each other to reach Yumen Pass, Qiao Shi was really exhausted, his eyes turned green from hunger, he couldn't stand still, and he felt like he could even eat a cow.
As soon as I thought that I was about to be liberated, the tears flowed down naturally. There was no need to brew my emotions at all. I collapsed on the ground and burst into tears. My emotions completely exploded.
His explosive performance also made the audience who were immersed in the plot burst into tears. The audience burst into tears on and off the stage, and the response was excellent.
Because of this, Qiao Shi could only perform one complete scene every day, and he couldn't perform the second extra performance at all. He had already burned himself out.
Su Yonglin admired Qiao Shi's professionalism, but also advised Qiao Shi not to do it so well, as it was not good for his health.
"My Healing Game"
But Qiao Shi didn't think so.
"I admire these ancient heroes very much. Although we are in different classes, we are consistent in our stance on foreign wars and resolutely safeguarding national interests and dignity. So since I want to perform them, I must understand, Respect him.
It's not enough to fully interpret everything he has experienced. I have to get close to him. I have to stand in his perspective and experience everything he has experienced. Only I can really become Geng Gong in that hour. Only then can the people truly know how difficult it is for soldiers to open up new territories. This is the fundamental purpose of our drama rehearsal. "
For Qiao Shi's understanding, Su Yonglin only admired him.
So he took the lead in applauding and paid his respects to such an actor full of professionalism and dedication.
