Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Chapter 63 Even if I know it’s an act, I can’t stand it
Huang Lei stood up suddenly, causing the stool to fall over with a clang, and reached out to try to help Yang Chaoyue.

His hand froze halfway out, as if he was afraid of scaring her.

Yang Chaoyue shrank back reflexively, her eyes filled with fear and her shoulders tense.

"Okay, I won't touch you, I won't touch you." Huang Lei waved his hand, soothingly, and sat down again: "What do you want?"

"Are there any medicinal herbs?"

"This does not."

Huang Lei shook his head, somewhat confused.

There is no beggar begging for medicinal herbs.

Did I remember the lines wrong, or is there some special reason?

"Is there anything to eat?"

"No, do you want copper coins?" Huang Lei took out a few copper coins given by the program team from his pocket and handed them to Yang Chaoyue.

Yang Chaoyue held out the pottery bowl, but his eyes flickered and he didn't dare to look directly at Huang Lei. He looked both humble and frightened.

Huang Lei could only throw it into Yang Chaoyue's broken pottery bowl, and Yang Chaoyue then carefully accepted it and put it in his pocket.

Huang Lei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yang Chao leap up and leave. He whispered to the camera, "This episode was really a big deal. I almost thought there was a beggar sneaking in. He knelt down as soon as he saw me."

"This beggar's makeup and demeanor are both very good. When I heard her speak, I was sure she was a girl. She's really trying hard."

"To be honest, my heart trembled. I thought of my daughter, Duoduo. If this was my daughter, even if I knew it was an act, I would feel very sad. A father with a little daughter at home must understand this." Huang Lei rubbed his sore nose.

After muttering to the camera, he turned around to see if his noodles were ready.

But he found that the female beggar had not left yet.

I was crouching in front of the noodle stall. When the stall owner bent down to pick up the bowl, I stealthily reached out, grabbed a handful of lettuce from the stall, stuffed it into my mouth, chewed it hard, closed my eyes, choked my throat and swallowed hard.

"Does this female beggar have a story with the noodle stall owner?" Huang Lei seemed to realize something.

In the director's car.

Yan Min was always paying attention to what was happening over there with Jiang Yang and Yang Chaoyue. Seeing that Huang Lei was already sitting at the table next to the noodle stall, he ordered to zoom in on the screen over there.

Yang Chaoyue was seen coming out of the alley and kneeling before Huang Lei.

Yan Min was a little confused.

It seems that the content they performed was different from what they did during the audition yesterday.

This makes sense. It is an impromptu performance, and the performance techniques will be different depending on the person.

At least it attracted Huang Lei's attention.

Watching the female beggar played by Yang Chaoyue kneel down and kowtow to Huang Lei, and Huang Lei no longer jokingly teasing, but seriously throwing coins into Yang Chaoyue's bowl.

Especially hearing what Huang Lei said to the camera.

Yan Min knew that Yang Chaoyue performed well.

The fact that Huang Lei, a graduate tutor at the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, could make such an evaluation shows that it was a success.

It depends on how Jiang Yang and Yang Chaoyue perform next.

The extras in "Go Fighting" were praised by the graduate tutor of the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy and will definitely become a famous scene in the show.

The plot that Jiang Yang and Yang Chaoyue performed next was very similar to yesterday's audition process.

……

"What are you doing?" Jiang Yang caught Yang Chaoyue stealing something and picked up a rolling pin and pointed it at Yang Chaoyue.

"No...nothing, you dropped your chopsticks, I helped you pick them up."

Yang Chaoyue was so frightened that he trembled and staggered back, not forgetting to glance at the cash box of the noodle stall.

……

[Under your care, Yang Chaoyue's acting skills have improved. You have received feedback, and his acting skills have increased by +1.]

……

Jiang Yang put down the rolling pin and stared at Yang Chaoyue's feet, which were sore from the cold. "Don't run away this time. Eat the noodles."

"Really? Give it to me?" Yang Chaoyue swallowed, not daring to move, and spoke in a whisper.

……

[Under your care, Yang Chaoyue's acting skills have improved. You have received feedback, and his acting skills have increased by +1.]

……

Jiang Yang sliced ​​the rolled dough and looked up at Yang Chaoyue. "I won't bother with you for stealing. Eat quickly and help me with my work after you finish."

Yang Chaoyue's eyes moved from the cash box of the noodle stall to the bowl of noodles. He showed an ugly but flattering smile and squeezed out three words from his throat:

"Thank you."

……

[Under your care, Yang Chaoyue's acting skills have improved. You have received feedback, and his acting skills have increased by +1.]

……

"Come and eat here." Jiang Yang patted the side of the stove at the noodle stall. "It's warm here, next to the stove, and there's a stool."

"I'll just squat while eating. The stools will be dirty if I sit on them, and the guests still need to sit." Yang Chaoyue glanced at Jiang Yang nervously, picked up the chopsticks, held the bowl, squatted down, huddled by the fire, and ate noodles with a slurp.

…………

Huang Lei was so engrossed in watching that he even forgot to pay attention to the noodles cooking in the pot.

All the attention is focused on the interaction between the noodle stall owner and the female beggar.

The female beggar was careful when stealing food and lied when she was caught.

She was pleasantly surprised to find that the noodle stall owner didn't bother with her and was even willing to reward her with a bowl of noodles.

The awkwardness of squatting on the ground to eat noodles was all acted out.

The noodle stall owner was angry at first, then softened, and finally heartbroken, and his performance seemed restrained.

There are no exaggerated expressions, but full of details.

He also has acting skills.

Which of these two characters is more difficult to play?
Is she a female beggar?
Huang Lei knew very well that it was actually the owner of the noodle stall.

Because in this plot, the female beggar is the protagonist and the noodle stall owner is the supporting role. Like a green leaf that sets off the protagonist, all the roles are given to the female beggar, who is always guided and given a lot of room to perform.

to be frank.

This performance is very real.

It allows him to feel the difficulty of beggars struggling to survive during the war-torn Three Kingdoms period.

The sense of immersion is very strong.

Strictly speaking, this alone is not enough.

The plot lacks emotional hooks.

Until, Huang Lei watched Jiang Yang put the cut noodles into the pot, and suddenly said:
"I was delivering something to your house today. I passed by your house and chatted with your father, who has a bad back. He was really worried that you would get beaten up outside."

"Don't look at me because I'm thin. I won't fight to the death!" Yang Chaoyue muttered as he looked up, with the corners of his mouth slightly turned down.

"Have you found the money for your father's medicine?" Jiang Yang stirred the noodles in the pot with chopsticks and glanced at Yang Chaoyue.

Looking at the beggar woman's astonished eyes, Huang Lei suddenly came to his senses.

Medicine money?

No wonder the female beggar kowtowed to him and begged for food at the beginning. When he asked her what she needed, the first thing she said was medicinal herbs.

This female beggar has a story background.

The emotional explosion is coming!
The show goes on.

"I went to your house today and saw your father lying on a moldy straw mattress, coughing up blood, with no one to take care of him at the door..."

I heard the noodle stall owner say this.

Huang Lei noticed that the beggar's shoulders and neck stiffened instantly, and her pupils dilated and trembled.

His fingers unconsciously picked at the corner of his clothes.

The lower lip trembles and the upper lip is tense.

Huang Lei understood that the female beggar had already gotten into the role.

Not an acting type, but an experiential type, this female extra is completely immersed in the role of a female beggar.

Her fear, humility, surprise, and collapse, every layer of emotion is real.

It can be imagined that this female extra must love her father very much in real life.

Or maybe in reality, her father is really ill and she is working hard for her family.

What Huang Lei subconsciously thought of was that if one day in the future he became a burden to his daughter, and his daughter worked so hard for him and struggled to make a living... No, he couldn't think like that.

Just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable.

"Go Fighting" is a comedy variety show, so what's the matter with him crying?

but.

When he saw that the female beggar knew that she could stay in the noodle stall and earn 50 cents a month, and the noodle stall owner was willing to advance her a month's salary to buy medicinal herbs.

She tried to raise the corners of her mouth, trying to force a smile, but tears flowed uncontrollably, the tip of her nose turned red, and her eyelashes were wet with tears and stuck together in clumps.

Seeing this scene, Huang Lei couldn't control his emotions after all, and there was a sparkling light in the corners of his eyes.

After realizing that all the plots had been played out, Huang Lei sat at the table, stunned for a while, and then turned to the camera and praised generously:

"What a great performance! This performance didn't grab my heart or tickle my heart, but it touched my heart little by little. By the time I realized what was happening, I was already drawn into it."

"If this was my daughter, even if I knew it was an act, I wouldn't be able to stand it."

"I initially said the production team didn't put much thought into the props, but it turns out they put all their effort into the extras."

As he spoke, a tear slid uncontrollably from the corner of his eye. Huang Lei hurriedly raised his hand to wipe it away, his fingertips trembling slightly.

He shook his head and laughed, trying to make the sad atmosphere more festive:
"Do you know how good this performance was? It was so good that I realized the noodles in the pot were almost clumping together!"

Finally found the flaw in the noodle shop owner's cooking skills.

Huang Lei walked over to the noodle stall and pointed at the noodles in the pot: "Boss, I'm not saying this, but your noodles are too overcooked!"
