Starlight in the hand of rebirth

The theater was far away from Xia Fanxing's house, and it was almost eleven o'clock when Xia Fanxing arrived by taxi.

The theater is not big, and looks very ordinary, with a few posters at the door.

Xia Fanxing walked in looking at the sign posted on the wall.

When she walked to the movie theater, there were some people on the stage who were setting up the scenery, and several actors were playing against each other.

"Here we come." A cold voice sounded.

Xia Fanxing was startled, and when she looked back, a woman with short hair and a denim jacket was leaning against the wall and looking at her.

The woman said, "I'm Russell."

"Hello, I'm Xia Fanxing." Xia Fanxing wanted to shake her hand, but seeing that the other party didn't mean that, he didn't extend his hand.

"Tang Tian said you are very talented." Russell said directly.

Xia Fanxing said casually, "It's okay."

Russell led her to the front of the stage and said, "Drama acting is very different from filming."

On the stage, two actresses are playing against each other.

They appear to be playing a mother-daughter pair, with the younger actress speaking rebelliously and gruffly to the older actress.

The older actress has a sad face, just like an old mother who has nothing to do with her rebellious children.

"Sit down." Russell pointed to the front seat.

Xia Fanxing sat down, and Russell turned to leave.

"Where are you going?" Xia Fanxing was confused.

"I still have work to do, so I can't accompany you." Russell frowned coldly.

"Then what should I do?" Xia Fanxing pointed at herself.

Russell raised his eyebrows: "Of course it's to see how they act. Do you think the TV set can be used on stage?"

Xia Fanxing opened his mouth and could only choke out two words: "Okay."

Russell patted his ass and left.

Xia Fanxing was the only one sitting under the stage, she silently watched the performance of the actors on the stage.

After setting up the scenes for tonight's play, the actors began the official rehearsal.

This drama is about the ironic thing between a mother and her rebellious daughter.The mother is not at ease with her adolescent daughter, and the tough discipline is afraid of arousing her daughter's resentment, so she secretly monitors her daughter and makes many jokes.

Unlike filming, drama performances pay great attention to the skills of lines, and also have high requirements for facial expressions and body language.

Filming can be dubbed later, and various editing shots can be made.But the drama is truly shown in front of the audience without omission.

The performances of the actors on stage are very devoted in every aspect, and they don't feel like they are out of the play at all.

Xia Fanxing was fascinated by watching, and she discovered another world of acting.

She sat until the official performance started, and when the audience was about to come in, Xia Fanxing had to give up her seat and go backstage to watch.

It was past ten o'clock when the performance ended before Xia Fanxing came to his senses.

She looked at her phone, and there was a text message from Meng Lizhen asking when she would be back.

[Go back soon. 】Xia Fanxing replied the text message.

Russell walked over, Martin boots rattling on the wooden floor.

"After watching it for a day, how do you feel?" She asked lightly.

Xia Fanxing replied: "They acted very well."

Russell asked her again: "What about you, where are your shortcomings?"

"My lines, my lines are not good, and so are my body language." Xia Fanxing replied honestly.

"En." Russell responded, and gave Xia Fanxing a script, "Take this back and have a look."

Xia Fanxing took over the script, it is a classic play - "Jane Eyre"

"What am I playing?" Xia Fanxing asked.

Russell pointed to a part of the script, the housekeeper Alice, there were not ten lines in the tenth act.

Xia Fanxing's expression cracked a bit.

"Do you think I'll let you play Jane as soon as I come up?" Russell sneered.

"Then I'll go back first, see you tomorrow." Xia Fanxing took a deep breath, said goodbye to Russell and walked out of the theater quickly.

Before Xia Fanxing took out the key, Meng Lizhen heard her footsteps coming to open the door.

Xia Fanxing, who hadn't seen her for an hour like three autumns, kissed Meng Lizhen on the face, and Meng Lizhen tweeted back.

"How is today, are you still used to it?" Meng Lizhen asked about Xia Fanxing's situation in the theater today.

"It's okay, I just watch other people today." Xia Fanxing told her how the actors I saw in the theater today acted.

Although Meng Lizhen didn't necessarily understand what Xia Fanxing was talking about, she still listened carefully and answered.

Xia Fanxing took out the script and showed it to Meng Lizhen: "I will play the housekeeper Alice."

Meng Lizhen had read the novel "Jane Eyre", and she used a colored pen to draw out a few lines of Alice's sparse lines in the script.

"It's also very good. As the saying goes, you can't go a thousand miles without accumulating steps. Now you are starting again, of course you need to accumulate a little bit." Meng Lizhen knew that Xia Fanxing was still a little bit unwilling and comforted her.

Xia Fanxing didn't care that he was half a head taller than Meng Lizhen, so he just sat on her lap and said coquettishly: "No, I'm still so sad!"

Meng Lizhen hugged her big baby and coaxed: "Then you have to work hard, try to play the leading role as soon as possible."

With a strong psychological quality like Xia Fanxing, he no longer cared whether he was playing a leading role or a supporting role, and just took the opportunity to act like a baby.

Meng Lizhen was so happy with this, she wished that Xia Fanxing would pester her every day.

In the following days, Xia Fanxing traveled to the theater and at home every day.

She learned how to read lines from her predecessors in the theater, and analyzed the characters' physical and psychological states to express the characters' expressions and movements.

After returning home, Xia Fanxing has no time to relax, holding the script to study every day, and can read a line in more than a dozen tones.

Xia Fanxing pulled Meng Lizhen to play together, sometimes affectionate and sometimes indifferent, crying one second and laughing the next.

Meng Lizhen felt that she was about to split her personality.

When it finally came to the performance of "Jane Eyre", Xia Fanxing gave Meng Lizhen a front row ticket.

A series of classic dramas such as "Jane Eyre" are specially performed by the theater for emotional reasons. The ticket price is lower than usual, and there are many people who come to join in the show.

The theater's make-up artist is very good, turning the plain-faced heroine into a European woman with a high nose and dark eyes.

All actors changed into clothes and wigs and got ready backstage.

Meng Lizhen went to the theater early to find her seat and sit down.

Today is the tenth act of "Jane Eyre".

One opens with the actors playing Jane Eyre and Rochester in the garden.

The butler Alice played by Xia Fanxing is still behind, and it is basically the same as the background board.

But the performances of the actors were wonderful, and Meng Lizhen was fascinated immediately.

When it came to the marriage change later, Xia Fanxing came out. She was wearing European women's clothing and heavy makeup. No one could recognize that she was the big star she used to be.

Ever since Xia Fanxing came out, Meng Lizhen's eyes were fixed on the person standing behind.

Even if Xia Fanxing lost her beautiful face, in Meng Lizhen's eyes, she would still shine brightly.

The end of the play, the end.

Meng Lizhen stood up and wanted to go to the backstage to find Xia Fanxing, but Xia Fanxing stopped her before she could find the backstage.

Xia Fanxing took her backstage and said, "Zhenzhen, wait for me first, I'll take off your makeup." After speaking, she ran into the dressing room.

Luo Su came over and saw Meng Lizhen, and said, "Are you Xia Fanxing's girlfriend?" Her tone was very flat, just like someone said that this girl is the girlfriend of some boy.

"Yes. Hello." Meng Lizhen smiled.

From this person's appearance, Meng Lizhen guessed that she should be Russell, the theater investor that Xia Fanxing mentioned.

Russell was not very warm to strangers, and stopped talking after asking a question, but stood beside Meng Lizhen and waited.

Meng Lizhen didn't talk to her when she saw that she was not close to strangers.

Xia Fanxing came out, saw Russell and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Russell gave her a new script and said, "Play the heroine."

After speaking concisely, Russell left again.

Xia Fanxing got used to her temper, took the script and said goodbye and took Meng Lizhen to hail a taxi outside the theater.

"How am I acting today?" Xia Fanxing leaned against Meng Lizhen in the back seat and asked.

"Very good." Meng Lizhen praised Xia Fanxing consistently for ten years.

Xia Fanxing rubbed Meng Lizhen's shoulder, waved the script in his hand and said, "I'm playing the heroine again!"

Meng Lizhen kissed her on the forehead as a reward: "You are the best!"

One good thing came and the next one came, Anna called to tell Xia Fanxing that "Girl from the Far Mountain" had been shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival!

This is the biggest upset of domestic movies.

A literary film directed by a cutting-edge director that had a poor box office when it was released was actually shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival.

Get this good news, the whole company is boiling.

Tang Tian even paid for the costumes for the film crew who went to the film festival out of his own pocket.

Xia Fanxing was stunned when she found out that she was nominated. "Girl from the Far Mountain" is a very high-level movie, but it is still surprising to be shortlisted for this kind of international film award.

Meng Lizhen was also very happy to know that she followed the film crew from beginning to end, and stayed with everyone in that difficult mountain village for several months.

Meng Lizhen is also honored to have such achievements in the film nowadays.

With the nomination of "Girl from the Far Mountain", Xia Fanxing's name has also returned to the public eye.

When an unknown movie wins an award, people will naturally wonder what is so good about this movie, so they will go see it.

And the starring role of Xia Fanxing surprised people even more. What kind of movie is a homosexual acting in?

Tang Tian took advantage of this wave of enthusiasm to take a few business events for Xia Fanxing, and informed the reporter to issue a press release.

Xia Fanxing's strong comeback left the public stunned.

People have a dark psychology, especially for some public figures, and they are very happy to see their gossip.

After Xia Fanxing said at the press conference that he would continue to develop in the entertainment circle, some netizens predicted how Xia Fanxing would survive in the entertainment circle in the future.

They didn't expect Xia Fanxing to be nominated for one of the three major film festivals, Cannes, after struggling to survive in the industry and disappearing for a while!

This Nima is simply cheating!

Although various voices on the Internet are very lively, Xia Fanxing still goes to the theater to rehearse every day.

Anna took a camera to take pictures and record videos of Xia Fanxing.

"What's there to shoot?" Xia Fanxing thought that Anna was interrupting her from reciting her lines.

"You silly boy, this video and photo will be the proof of your hard work in the future, posting it will increase your popularity and increase your fans." Anna detested Xia Fanxing's ignorance.

Xia Fanxing pursed her lips, she was quite vain.

The official opening of the Cannes Film Festival is about a month after the nomination list is out.

Before leaving for the film festival, Xia Fanxing finished her last play.

Before leaving, Russell had a rare expression on his face, and said, "Come over to play when you have time."

"In the future, I won't ask you for money when I come to guest star." Xia Fanxing waved her hand to say goodbye.
