"Oh? Then why do you still cooperate with them in the performance? Aren't you a pillar of the stage? You should have the right to tell them to change the play." Xiang Nanqi said.
Na Xiaowan sighed, and said: "That's right, but what the audience wants to see is not a tragedy, but a happy ending for everyone."
"We have to make the audience willing to watch it before anyone can watch it."
"Well, that's true." Xiang Nan thought for a while and said, "There is always a gap between reality and drama."
Xiao Wan said seriously: "Then it's settled. From today onwards, I will take you with me personally. Although you are not as handsome as Luo Xiao, you have a good figure."
As she spoke, Xiaowan looked at Xiang Nan carefully with her chin in her hand, and said, "Take off your robe and let me see your figure."
Xiang Nan took off his robe as he said, and spread his arms.
Xiao Wan's eyes lit up, and she said: "Yes, your body is quite strong, your figure can be regarded as one of the best in our group, your legs seem to be a little longer than Luo Xiao's. "
"How much acting experience do you have?"
Xiang Nan shook his head.
Xiao Wan said: "Then how is your line skill?"
Xiang Nan still shook his head.
Xiao Wan frowned: "It turned out to be blank paper, so how about it, let's go backstage to rehearse now."
"A dress rehearsal?" Xiang Nan asked strangely.
Na Xiaowan said: "Of course there is a rehearsal, otherwise how about acting, come with me."
Saying that, Xiao Wan didn't care whether Xiang Nan wanted it or not, so she dragged him to the performance studio.
At this time, the actors had already started to remove their makeup, but Xiaowan forced everyone to stay and accompany them to the rehearsal again.
Liu Dongyuan nodded in satisfaction, and secretly said: "Although Xiaowan has a bit of a weird personality, it is very gratifying to be serious."
On the stage, the actors are all ready.
First of all, there was only one table on the entire stage, and a storyteller sat down. He slapped Xingmu and said, "Nine Heavens in the Southern Territory, there are those eight sects..."
This storyteller is called "Interlude". He will first introduce the general background of the story and the general process of the entire sect's qualifying competition, and then the actors will come on stage and perform the most important links.
"Yue Donghai" has already defeated many disciples and is standing on the stage triumphantly.
"It's your turn to play." Xiao Wansai gave Xiang Nan a giant knife and a line, and said, "For the first rehearsal, you can watch the lines and read, go."
Xiang Nan weighed the giant knife in his hand. It seemed to be made of wood and was very light.
"What are you doing in a daze, go quickly." Na Xiaowan pushed Xiang Nan out.
"You! Xiang Nan!" Yue Donghai pointed at Xiang Nan and laughed loudly: "Come on, you will become my defeat, and I, Yue Donghai, am the number one expert in Jiuxiao!"
Holding the knife in his right hand and his lines in his left, Xiang Nan said, "Yue Donghai! You are really powerful! But don't forget who I am!"
"I am Xiang Nan, the seventh master of the Seven Tigers of the Southern Region. Today, I will represent Jiuxiao and the people. I will eliminate you... what the hell!"
Xiang Nan shook his lines and said, "Are you kidding me with this line?"
"Stop!" Xiao Wan yelled to stop, and rushed forward, "Xiang Bei, what's the matter with you."
Xiang Nandao: "How can anyone claim to be a master? Isn't Xiang Nan from the Canglan Continent? Why does he represent Jiuxiao? It's naive to say that you are going to be eliminated."
Xiao Wan said: "It's more righteous to say that, and Xiang Nan can defeat Yue Donghai, of course he is a master."
Xiang Nanqi said: "But he hasn't defeated Yue Donghai yet, how can he know in advance that he is a master."
"Don't be picky!" Xiao Wan stared, "Will you act or not!"
"Play." Xiang Nan had no choice but to continue reading the lines.
The actors next to him frowned while watching Xiang Nan's performance, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Wan, this Xiang Bei is no good, he has no acting experience at all, he doesn't even look at the audience, he keeps looking at Yue Donghai."
"Yes, Xiaowan." Someone next to him spoke up: "Look at him, he doesn't look righteous at all, look at his expressionless face!"
At this time, the fight had already started on the stage.
That Yue Donghai ran up and punched Xiang Nan on the head.
Xiang Nan looked at the lines, there were actually illustrations on it, and it said, let himself grab Yue Donghai by the collar and throw him out fiercely.
Xiang Nan scratched his head and said, "Xiao Wan, this action is a bit weird."
Xiao Wan said: "Stop!"
She came over and said, "What's so strange?"
Xiang Nandao: "Here, I'm going to throw Yue Donghai out and make him fall to the ground hard."
"Yes." Xiao Wan said.
Xiang Nandao: "Then Yue Donghai has absorbed the blood of Xuanwu, even with a knife, he can't break through his defense. Why throw him out like this? Does it hurt him?"
Xiao Wan said: "Why do you have so many things, throwing him out is to reflect Xiang Nan's tall, stalwart, glorious and correct image!"
"But it's not in line with common sense." Xiang Nan said, "Then..."
"Okay." Xiang Nan still wanted to defend, but Xiao Wan waved her hand: "Just act according to the lines, don't ask any more questions, you know!"
"Oh." Xiang Nan nodded.
After a performance, all the actors agreed that Xiang Nan has no acting talent, and everyone advised Xiao Wan to give up Xiang Bei directly.
That Xiaowan was also very helpless, she found Xiang Nandao: "Don't sleep tonight, I will give you performance training overnight."
"No need..." Xiang Nan felt discouraged: "I think my acting is okay."
Everyone went back to rest one after another, only Xiang Nan and Xiao Wan stayed on the stage, and Xiao Wan taught Xiang Nan hand in hand, and even demonstrated to Xiang Nan in person.
Na Xiaowan said seriously: "Performance is different from reality. Performance is an artistic method. Many times, many movements seem unreasonable, but in order to enhance the atmosphere and achieve the effect, it must be done. Understand."
"Understood." Xiang Nan nodded.
After a night of training, Xiang Nan had a more or less in-depth understanding of the art of acting.
He finally knew that many of the things he was supposed to say to Yue Donghai were actually meant for the audience, because the audience needed to see Xiang Nan's expression and eyes.
And Xiang Nan's many subconscious actions are also inappropriate. For example, during the battle, he will stare at Yue Donghai seriously and prepare for the battle at any time. This kind of action is redundant!
Because he wants to try his best to leave his face to the audience, not to Yue Donghai.
There are many places in the performance that are in serious conflict with reality, but there is no way, Xiang Nan can only follow Xiaowan's teaching.
Three days later, Miss Xuelu came to book the venue again.
Xiang Nan eagerly wanted to perform on stage, but was told that he was only a substitute, and Luo Xiao was the lead actor.
Xiang Nanqi said: "Since I'm not allowed to play, why do I have to train so hard?"
Xiao Wan said solemnly: "One minute on stage, ten years off stage, I believe you can officially become the lead actor after another five years of hard work."
"Five years." Xiang Nan rubbed his temples.
The show has already begun.
But this time, Miss Xuelu did not sit far away in the box, but directly came to the first row of the auditorium, she wanted to enjoy the performance up close.
The previous few performances have been directly omitted. Jiang Xuelu is not interested in those performances, she only wants to watch Iron Blood Heroic Soul.
Xiang Nan stood at the entrance of the curtain with his shoulders folded, watching the performance while paying attention to the magnificent Jiang Xuelu.
At the same time, Xiang Nan found a very noteworthy person.
Bringing Xuelu along with five bodyguards, each of these five people is a strong man in the first level of Tianyuan. If such a strong man is placed in the Western Regions, he will be a small overlord who dominates one side.
But it is worth noting that, a tall and strong bodyguard, the behavior of this personal bodyguard is very abnormal.
