After thinking about it, Xiang decided to make an interview with the music director.
In fact, not only did he want to see Yao Yin, Yao Yin also wanted to see him.
The musical is called "Wait for a polar day", and it is a story of a schizophrenic patient's self-discovery and self-redemption. The original script is an unknown autobiographical novel, and the protagonist will often hear a voice speaking in his ear. This voice was both his friend and his enemy, and that voice would laugh at him, beat him, encourage him, and keep him.
There is a rumor in the market that this autobiographical novel was favored by the actor Chang Yiheng, and now the film remake project has been approved, which will be Chang Yiheng's first self-directed and self-acted work.
With such a halo hanging over his head, the musical project of "Wait for a Extreme Day" has progressed both smoothly and with difficulty.
The good thing is that the investment is easy to pull and the director is easy to find; but the hard part is that no musical actor dares to accept it, and no one is afraid to compare with the actor.
Finally, the crew decided on a male lead, but the other party actually lost it! The crew begged grandpa to tell grandma to look around, and finally set their sights on Xiang Guai.
Xiang Guai didn't know how big a challenge he was facing until the day he joined the group.
And the more troublesome places don't stop there - this, after all, is a one-man show! !
Yes, that's right, Xiang Gua wanted one person to play twelve roles, to change clothes on the spot, to sing, perform and dance for two hours, and to interact with the audience at the same time.
After Xiang Guai got the plot synopsis: "..."
He blinked and asked, "I haven't signed a contract yet, can I turn down the job?"
The producer smiled and set up with the director, dragging the dying swan to Yao Yin's recording studio.
Yao Yin is actually the composer of the musical "Wait for an Extreme Day". Because he was worried about the presentation of his work, he decided to be the music director.
Outsiders may think that the composition and screenwriting of musical plays are performed by the same person. In fact, this is a very rare phenomenon. Most of them are after the script is completed, and then find the composer to compose the music and fill in the lyrics.
In many cases, the position of music director is also held concurrently, for example, by a pianist, a conductor, and even an actor.
Before meeting Yao Yin, Xiang Gui had imagined the appearance of the returned composer many times.
But he didn't expect that Yao Yin... had such a personality.
He couldn't tell his age, maybe in his twenties, maybe in his thirties. He pursed his lips and looked at Xiang Guai with critical eyes, which added an unfathomable aura to his neutral facial features. He tied his long hair in a small bun at the top of his head, and had a row of earrings on each ear, each of which looked very valuable.
A blue-black tattoo extended from the cuff of his sweater, densely tattooed with Yao Yin's five fingers, it didn't look like a musician's hand at all - at least the musicians he had guessed before, in order to ensure the sensitivity of the hand nerves Sex does not add any trace to the hand at all.
"Hello, Teacher Yao." Xiang Gui took the initiative to extend his hand.
"Don't call me teacher yet." Yao Yin's voice was cold and interrupted, "Let me hear how you sing."
Saying that, he handed out a sheet music.
The lyrics and composers are all Yao Yin, and the title of the song is "Extreme Day". This shows that the song Xiang Guess got is likely to be the theme song of the musical.
Yao Yin only gave Xiang Guai five minutes to prepare, and then immediately asked him to sing with the live band.
This time it was a piano + double violin configuration. A violinist reminded him hesitantly: "Mr. Yao, we haven't practiced this piece yet..."
Yao Yin raised his eyebrows: "How long have you been playing the violin?"
"Twenty-two years."
"Twenty-two years, haven't you learned to play while reading music?"
"… "
So, a male protagonist who read the score for the first time, and the accompaniment of three bands who read the score for the first time, began the first collaboration.
"Extreme Day" is a song with a sad tone.
The male protagonist named the voice that appeared in his hallucination "Extreme Day", because the extreme day represents the eternal light and the never ending sun.
The male protagonist has been talking to Ji Ri. The patient suffering from schizophrenia has a hard time realizing that he is sick in the early stage. He mistaken Ji Ri as an invisible friend. This friend is cruel and gentle.
Xiang Guixian tried to sing for the first time. At this time, he hadn't fully entered the state, and his vocal cords were a little tight. He could feel his voice floating, and the high-pitched voice went straight to the splits, like a fairy stick sticking in the wrong direction. .
Unexpectedly, Yao Yin calmly accepted the flaws in his singing, gave him a few pointers, and asked him to sing a second time.
Then a third time.
Then the fourth, the fifth...
After five times, Xiang Gu and the band are getting better and better, no obvious flaws can be heard in terms of emotion or intonation. After singing this superbly skilled theme song five times in a row without rest, Xiang Guai was so tired that he was sweating profusely, wishing he could just lie on the ground now.
Yao Yin's mouth finally raised 0.1 cm (Xiang Gu even doubted whether it was his hallucination), clapped his hands, and said, "Okay, the warm-up is over."
Xiang Gu: "...?" Warming up
Band: "…?" Warm up
Yao Yin flipped through the script in his hand, and said quickly: "The song "Extreme Day" appeared three times, and each time the protagonist's feelings were different. They were the ecstasy of meeting new friends, and the discovery that new friends were hallucinations. The pain at the end, and the calmness after watching it calmly. Of these three states, 'ecstasy' is the best performance. Look at this script, and try to sing in ten minutes."
The director next to him was afraid to scare away the last male lead, so he hurriedly said, "Xiao Yao, Xiang Guess this is the first time he has read the script. You should give him more time."
No matter what, Xiang Gues took the initiative to say it doesn't matter: "Director, director, I want to try."
He originally had doubts about this job, but the five "warm-ups" just now made him faintly have a strong urge to the male protagonist - Xiang Guessing to play him! I want to play him well!
He wanted the character to come out of the script and stand alive in front of the audience! Show all his joys and sorrows, his struggles and hardships!
Yao Yin raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "Little boy, you seem very confident."
Xiang Guess didn't answer, he just took the time to look down at the script in his hand.
Ten minutes later, Xiang Guai closed his eyes and recited this scene in his heart again. When he opened his eyes again, the boy's eyes were full of confidence.
He didn't take the lyrics page and just walked into the band empty-handed.
The producer was taken aback: "How did he..."
The next second, Xiang Gu had already opened his mouth to read the first line.
— "Where are you?...Who are you?...Will you leave me like they did?"
— "You like me? Do you really like me? I...I...I like you too!"
- "Then we, from now on, are friends!!"
At this moment, the male protagonist "lived".
The producer and director exchanged a wink and nodded at the same time.
After only reading the script for ten minutes, Xiang Gu can understand this character to such an extent. Such a young actor with such a powerful aura will definitely have a bright future!
Yao Yin originally only planned to let Xiang Guai sing a song, but who would have thought Xiang Guai actually took the initiative to perform the previous lines together, accompanied by his body movements, and the expression of crying with joy... Everyone was in a trance for a while, as if they were really watching Until the hero appears in front of them!
Yao Yin walked quickly to the pianist and whispered, "Get up."
The pianist gave a blank "Huh?"
Yao Yin said, "You can't keep up with him, let me come."
The pianist hurriedly gave way, Yao Yin immediately took over the piano bench domineeringly, moving his ten fingers flexibly in the air a dozen times, then hanging his wrists, sinking his elbows, and pressing his hands lightly on the piano keys.
At the same time, the actor's lines finally ended, Xiang Guai raised his head and looked into the distance of nothingness, then took a deep breath and sang the first note—
The flamboyant, flamboyant festive movement poured out from Yao Yin's fingertips, and as soon as Xiang Guai opened his mouth, he directly tripled the speed of "Extreme Day", and Yao Yin followed without hesitation! !
Xiang Gu is singing, singing, he is singing loudly! !
The boy's clear and high-pitched singing collided with the black and white piano keys, and shook everyone's eardrums.
Yao Yin's eyes were tightly locked on Xiang Gu, he hadn't heard such a passionate voice for a long time!
He firmly believes that the male protagonist of "Wait for a Extreme Day" is none other than Xiangchai! And the songs he wrote are only worthy of Xiang Guai!
…
They all say "no fight, no acquaintance", so between Xiang Guai and Yao Yin, it can be said that "no singing, no acquaintance".
After the audition ended, Yao Yin's eyes changed when he looked at Guai, and he wished that the two of them would become half-brothers on the spot.
Xiang Gu asked, "Mr. Yao, have I passed your test?"
"Don't call me Teacher Yao!" Yao Yin said with a smile as if he had changed, "We are so familiar, you can call me Melody!"
Xiang Gu wanted to ask him where they knew each other.
After the official signing, Xiang Gu received the complete script and 15 solo songs written by Yao Yin for the play.
The whole drama "Wait for a Extreme Day" is less than two hours, the rhythm is very dense, and the lines alone have tens of thousands of words. Xiang Chai had never acted in a one-man show, and when he received such a thick stack of scripts from the director, he suddenly had the urge to flee.
However, one can only think about running away. He loves the character, loves the songs, loves the show, and the main thing is... he hasn't had an income for a long time...
There is not much time left for this drama. It is expected to be rehearsed for 42 days, 12 hours a day. From now on, Xiang Gu will enter the state and start the crazy recitation work.
Thinking of the busy life to come, Xiang Guai is very motivated, spreads his wings proudly, and can't wait to sing loudly now.
The new rehearsal hall is actually located on the second floor of the Shanhe Theater—yes, it was the same theater where Xiang Chai rehearsed his graduation play "Queen of Boots".
Yao Yin sat on the stool, his legs crossed, and swayed his feet proudly: "This is my site, use whatever you want!"
Only then did Xiang Guai know that Yao Yin was an out-and-out rich second-generation. This theater was opened by his family. It was given to him as a gift when he was 18 years old, not to make money, but to be happy.
When Yao Yin heard that Xiang Guai had performed a graduation drama at the Shanhe Theater, he was intrigued, raised Xiang Guai's chin, and deliberately said in a sullen tone: "What does this mean? It's fate."
After working together for a while, Xiang Gu gradually got used to Yao Yin's character.
Although Yao Yin often jokes with Xiang Guai in private, as soon as he starts rehearsing, he immediately becomes the strictest teacher, even more terrifying than the King of Hell.
He can scold him from the piano to the violin, and then from the violin to Xiang Gu. If he changed his character to be a little weaker, he would have been scolded and cried countless times by him.
Fortunately, work is work and life is life.
Yao Yin is the best at using money to win over people - he often scolds them to the point of being bloody ten minutes before, and ten minutes later, he greets everyone with a smile and greets everyone to eat takeaway from a five-star hotel.
When everyone is drinking milk tea and chewing chicken feet, no matter how much resentment they have, they can swallow it back into their stomachs.
…
"Why do you feel fat?" Tan Yiming said in the car.
"Huh!!!! Really!!!!" Xiang Guai, who was burying his head in the front passenger seat and reciting his lines, instantly stood up in fright and raised his head in horror. "Ah, it must be because I have eaten too much afternoon tea recently!"
Seeing him like this, Tan Yiming couldn't bear to tease him again: "...I lied to you. You obviously lost a lot of weight, didn't you notice it when you looked in the mirror in the morning?"
Xiang Guai tilted his head slightly: "Is it okay? I have to look in the mirror every day, and I don't think I've lost any weight."
He has been rehearsing very hard recently. He spends more than ten hours in the rehearsal hall every day, and he has to continue to recite lines after returning home. Under such high-intensity pressure, even though Xiang Guai ate a lot of food every day, he still couldn't stop his weight loss.
Tan Yiming said, "That's because you didn't look carefully enough."
Xiang Guess didn't think much about it, and asked casually, "Did you read it very carefully?"
"Well." The man admitted calmly, "I look at you very seriously every day."
Xiang Guess: "… "
The boy didn't speak, lowered his head in a frenzy, and flipped through the script in a hurry, but only he himself knew how much he actually saw. He only hoped that the sound of flipping the notebook was loud enough to block his heartbeat.
Because the rehearsal hall of Shanhe Theater was very close to Tan Yiming's company, Tan Yiming took over the job of picking up Xiang Guai to work, just to spend more time with him every day.
In the airtight compartment, the breaths of the two people merged together, as if they were born one.
It's winter now, and there was a heavy snow just yesterday. The snow was deep and the wheels ran over, leaving two ruts in the snow.
Tan Yiming asked, "Next week is the New Year. Do you have any plans?"
Xiang Guai shook his head and whispered, "We'll rehearse as usual in those days, we have to catch up."
"..." Tan Yiming felt a little distressed for him, and decided to invite all the employees of the company to watch it again after "Waiting for an Extreme Day" was staged. "That's it. On the morning of the 31st, I will send you to the rehearsal hall first. I will go back to my parents' house for lunch at noon, and I will pick you up again in the afternoon. We can celebrate together in the evening. If you don't want to go out to eat, we will stay at home. How about eating hot pot?"
In the blink of an eye, they have been living together for more than four months. This is the first time they have spent the New Year together, but Tan Yiming hopes that every new year in the future can be spent together.
Xiang Chai shook his head obediently, sensible and distressing: "It's okay, it's okay for me to live alone. You haven't seen your uncle and aunt for a long time, stay at home for two more days, and spend more time with them."
Tan Yiming wanted to say "it's more important to be with you", but the words turned around, and he swallowed them for fear of being scared.
"It's not easy to take a taxi at the theater, and there are too few drivers who will come out to work on such special festivals. It gets dark early in winter, and I don't worry about you going home alone."
"It doesn't matter." Xiang Chai said briskly, "Melody said he lives in this direction, and I can rub his car back then. And he's spending the New Year in Hwaseong alone, so we can have dinner together."
Tan Yiming: "…"
Melody, Melody, Melody, this ghost Melody again! !
How long has Xiang guessed into the new crew, Tan Yiming has heard Melody's name from his mouth many times.
From Xiangchai's mouth, Tan Yiming pieced together the image of Melody: a moody music director, a wealthy second-generation rich, a talented composer, and an unknown person who likes to verbally tease the little swan.
Tan Yiming thought, he must find a chance to meet this Melody director for a while!
- His precious little swan just got enlightened, but he can't be abducted by others.
The author has something to say: I originally wanted to write about fierce goose food protection, but I actually wrote the old talk about sauerkraut noodles...
Or kowtow for nutrient solution! ! Today is the last day qaq! ! ! Send it to Guess!
ps: "First Love Takes Advantage of Now" and "Wait for an Extreme Day" are both musicals made by me, but not in reality.
