Chapter 807

With the funds in hand, it is more than enough to solve the accommodation problem. Considering the special status of entertainment artists, it is possible that paparazzi will be waiting after the Seventh Lun launches the publicity. Qin Jue asked Hu Changjian to book a hotel with high security, about a fifteen-minute drive from the Lin En Theater.

Arranging accommodation and daily life are the work of the life producer in the crew, but there is no way because the Blue Group has too few people, so Qin Jue simply takes care of it.

About half an hour later, Xu Shuangshuang rushed back and checked in with everyone.

I don’t know if it’s because the company is more free-range or she said hello in advance, compared with Lin Rou and Su Su, she is not so "family-oriented".

"Are you still talking about the Qingqu Opera Troupe?" Qin Jue asked casually.

"Well, there are quite a lot of people, it’s not easy to book." Xu Shuangshuang said, "Where are you going?"

"Gymnasium. See how to arrange the rehearsal venue for action scenes." Qin Jue replied.

"Take me with you." Xu Shuangshuang followed.

At this time, the night in ISCA had just begun and was very lively. Several people avoided the bustling crowd and walked to their destination. As they walked, the area gradually became deserted.

Xu Shuangshuang turned her head and looked at the Lynn Theater not far away. It was not very popular, but it was not deserted either. It could only be said to be average.

Just like the domestic drama circle.

"Qingqu Troupe is the troupe I was in before." She suddenly said.

"Oh? Isn't it a musical troupe?" Qin Jue replied.

"Not all of them." Xu Shuangshuang said, "The troupe was still very large at that time, divided into drama and musical groups. Later, the economy was bad, and everyone ran away, leaving only these now."

There was a faint desolation in her tone.

Qin Jue: "People always have to eat."

Some people are silly idealists who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the pursuit of their dreams, but some people will accept the fact that they are "defeated by reality" and find other ways out faster and earlier. Everyone is right.

Xu Shuangshuang smiled: "That's true."

They walked on the stone path, and the sound of cicadas could be heard from time to time.

Xu Shuangshuang was quiet for a while before walking and talking:

"We can ask Uncle Wu for help with the music and script. He is very good. Most of the choreography in the troupe depends on him. Then we can ask Aunt Chen for the costumes. She is the best tailor in the troupe. And..."

Xu Shuangshuang reported the abilities of the members of the Qingqu Opera Troupe one by one, "Oh, the girl with a high ponytail in the group just now was my college roommate. Her name is Wu Xiaofan, and she is great at singing the high notes. The Qingqu Opera Troupe is owned by their family."

Qin Jue listened carefully and nodded to show that he remembered.

Xu Shuangshuang pursed her lips with a complicated expression.

"Squad leader, is this selfish of me?" she asked.

"Forget it." Qin Jue said calmly, "But I don't care. It's a good thing to have people around."

"Hahaha. OK!"

Xu Shuangshuang said happily, "Oh, it's really... my former employer has been declining in recent years. It's sad to see it, so I want to help out."

Her smile was both cheerful and helpless:

"After graduating from college, I joined the Qingqu Opera Troupe. I performed back and forth for more than three years, and I saw that the number of people in the troupe was getting smaller and smaller.

"It's really annoying! If you spend money on advertising, you won't have so much money to continue to polish your works. But if you don't spend money, no matter how proud you are of your drama, few people will watch it. Everyone only likes to watch those famous and classic ones. Except for professional reviewers, few are willing to "test the poison themselves", and even if there are new dramas, the results are very bleak.

"For us, always performing those classic dramas over and over again is not a better exercise for our own strength. Some people feel that they are going to vomit acting, and they can't stand the steady retreat every day, so they just leave.

"So the situation of the troupe got worse and worse later. "Xu Shuangshuang sighed, "At that time, I was the best and most hardworking actor in the drama group, and my fans gradually accumulated from that time. Seeing that the Qingqu Opera Troupe was becoming more and more obscure, fans advised me, my roommates advised me, and finally Uncle Wu also advised me. "

"They all said that it was a pity for me to act in dramas with my ability, and I should switch to the film and television industry."

Xu Shuangshuang said with a wry smile, "In the film and television industry, no matter how badly I do, it is better than staying in the troupe and not having a meal. ”

So she left reluctantly under the kind persuasion of everyone. After that, reality really proved to her that they were right - indeed, even if she only played a few supporting roles in TV dramas, plus being a martial arts stuntman and running commercials, she could earn more than in the troupe.

But occasionally Xu Shuangshuang looked back and still felt it was a pity.

She didn't know what to pity, the general environment was like this, the ups and downs in the stage play circle were very weak, and the unknown small troupes were struggling to make ends meet.

There was even a funny thing that happened. The male lead in a troupe had a messy private life. He was criticized randomly, but because he was too obscure and no one knew him, netizens didn't even bother to eat the melon.

Xu Shuangshuang sighed, and many memories flashed before her eyes.

She remembered some stage accidents that caused cardiac and respiratory arrest; she remembered that she couldn't sleep the day before the performance because she was full of expectations, but the next day she went on stage to open and found that the attendance rate was less than one-third; she remembered that her friends in the drama group almost cried and told Wu Haizhou that they should refund the tickets after knowing that only four audiences came today, and they didn't want to perform today, and they couldn't win back such a small number of people. In the end, they changed into costumes and put on full makeup, and tried their best to cheer up and perform seriously.

Then I remembered that many people were sitting down there chatting loudly, holding up their mobile phones to take photos in the open, or simply leaning their heads to one side and closing their eyes to sleep; I remembered that many times the parents in the audience didn't care what they were performing, and just looked at their phones boredly. , buying seats in the first few rows and letting their children run around, laughing loudly, hoping that the children, who are only a few years old, will be "cultivating their sentiments" from an early age.

Acting on stage is a pretty fucked up thing.

There are lively people on and off the stage, but sometimes the audience does not regard the stage as a person. They only think that the framed stage and the mobile phone screen in their hands are the same thing. The pictures on the screen are always playing fixedly. The people inside will not be affected by any reaction from the spectators.

Unfortunately not.

It is quite scary to face the audience's "don't care" and other negative feedback. The psychological gap cannot be tolerated without a strong heart. So when Su Su came to ask today, Xu Shuangshuang hesitated and described all the details to her truthfully.

"Hey, I feel quite uncomfortable."

After sighing, Xu Shuangshuang clicked her tongue and said, "Speaking of it, I really don't despise anyone, but after acting in a drama and then filming a film and television drama, I really want to laugh. Hey, monitor, you know that before I came to "Entertainment", I was How many 'actors' have you seen on the set who count '1234567' to the camera?"

Qin Jue smiled and shook her head without answering. She knew that Xu Shuangshuang just wanted to complain.

Actor interns who can advance all the way to the final round are either as talented as Yu Qing, or as capable as Qin Jue and Lin Rou. Xu Shuangshuang is the latter.

She is very good at acting, and she is very open-minded. She is very good at acting, and she is not shy about being ugly and weird. When she was in the second round of comedy, she was the most outstanding one among the actresses.

If it weren't for the fifth round when he encountered the script of "Chasing the Phoenix" and the reliable director Fang Youwen, Xu Shuangshuang would have emerged earlier.

Now I know that she originally came from a drama background. It is normal for a person with such strong stage skills to have some disdain for some star actors in the entertainment industry who are not worthy of their reputation. Qin Jue can understand it.

"It would be great if we could take the opportunity of the "Yu Xi" finals with Qin Yi Technology to make everyone pay more attention to drama." Xu Shuangshuang sighed softly.

She usually doesn't talk so much, but people are like this, and they can't help but talk more when it comes to topics that they care about extra.

Although live performances have all kinds of problems and challenges, Xu Shuangshuang actually prefers to stand on the stage rather than facing the camera. There is no need to edit the scenes in the post-production process, and she can do whatever she performs, which gives her a greater sense of accomplishment.

"Yes, but it's not a long-term solution."

Qin Jue thought for a while and said, "If you have to rely on other things to 'lead traffic' every time to get a wave of improvement, it only shows that the drama itself is still a niche."

"Oh, indeed." Xu Shuangshuang looked helpless.

Unlike in the West, the audience base for stage plays in China is too small.

The gymnasium was in front of them, and the two stopped chatting. Upon entering, Qin Jue and Hu Changchai first went to the person in charge to discuss the rental matter. With Li Hong greeting them first, the matter went smoothly.

"The clear height is fourteen meters, which is enough."

Qin Jue looked up and decided to contact the program team tomorrow morning to bring over the wire equipment and wire master.

The next step was to measure the distance from front to back, left, and right, and consider where to place the cushions, etc. Qin Jue's experience with the crew of "The Cage" came in handy here, and he quickly drew up a rough plan and waited to arrange it together tomorrow.

"It would look better if you swung it in a circle here, or a half circle would be fine."

Xu Shuangshuang gestured, "It's like an acrobatic show. You rely on your arm strength to grab the ribbon and run around before flying in a circle."

Qin Jue nodded: "I also plan to use special effects to make you and Su Su fly away or be blown away. The distance is very long. The ideal thing is to fly directly over the nearest row of auditoriums."

"Absolutely! It will be fun to watch people flying overhead. This is the charm of the scene." Xu Shuangshuang agreed very much.

"Well, let's see how Qinyi Technology transforms the stage. The safety of the actors and the audience should be the main priority, and wires cannot be messed up."

The two of them discussed how to add action scenes in the small gymnasium, and by the way, together with Hu Changchai, Zhang Ming and others, they moved the tennis net in the gym to one side to avoid having to worry about it in the morning.

After a while, Wu Haizhou sent a message that their Qingqu Troupe was very efficient, and the results were available half an hour in advance.

Qin Jue rushed back to the Lynn Theater and returned to the second rehearsal room.

Wu Haizhou, the leader of the Qing Opera Troupe, chose the first salary plan given by Qin Jue on behalf of the actors, and said that tomorrow they can move in collectively to a nearby place and keep up with the rehearsals.

The salary of domestic drama actors fluctuates greatly, and it is also linked to the number of performances. The price given by Qin Jue is generous enough based on the eleven days of performance. Compared with the unstable profit sharing, Qingqu Troupe is more willing to choose what can be seen with the naked eye. salary.

"Okay, thank you teachers."

Qin Jue asked Hu Changchai to print the contract without saying a word.

No painting is as practical as the direct implementation of benefits. This is a truth she has understood well since the end of the world.

The program team has templates for contracts, with all the details complete, so you can use them directly after making some changes.

After the contract was finalized and Wu Haizhou read it carefully and signed it solemnly, Qin Jue pulled everyone into the Feixun group and the actor group, and sent the plot summary and current script to the latter group chat.

"Two things. The first thing is to divide the roles. Let's discuss it now and decide it tonight."

She said, "The second thing is that I asked Teacher Wu alone. I wonder if the teacher has some connections and can find two young actors?"

"Oh, what kind?" Wu Haizhou asked.

"It's best to be little girls under the age of fourteen." Qin Jue thought for a while and said, "When they played the role of Lin Rou and Su Su when they were young."

It's hard to find child actors. Movies and TV shows are better, but there seem to be fewer people here in dramas. Qin Jue asked the program team, but he felt there was little hope. If Wu Haizhou couldn't do anything, then he would use other methods instead.

"Huh? I don't know if my child can do it." The aunt named Chen in the troupe interjected, "This year she is in primary four, and she usually learns acting and singing from the troupe."

"That's right, that's what I was about to say." Wu Haizhou said with a smile, "There are a few little babies in the group who are often brought here to do homework, and they also learn a lot by the way. We had them guest star in a drama before. "

"It would be great."

Qin Jue breathed a sigh of relief. It is convenient to have a "family background". "Please help me choose a role, Teacher Wu. They will be responsible for the first fifteen minutes of the show. Well... Strength comes second, the focus is on It’s about not having stage fright.”

"I understand." Wu Haizhou understood what she meant.

"Okay. Let's put this matter aside for now. Now let's decide on the characters. Please open the synopsis of the plot. Let's start from the beginning. If we end it early, we can go back early."

Qin Jue moved on to the next topic neatly, "I don't know yet how many actors and teachers want to play two roles or even three roles. Let's roughly decide on the look first and let Fu Huadao have an idea."

"First the King and Queen..."

Qin Jue took the lead, Wu Haizhou assisted, and the members of the Qing Opera Troupe spoke at any time. The whole process of determining the roles went faster than expected.

As expected, professional matters must be left to professionals. Wu Haizhou used a layered method, dividing the roles into those without lines, those with a few lines, those with chorus and harmony, those with interactions with the main characters, those with important interactions, etc., which defined the actors' tasks more clearly.

"Prince Hans' entourage doesn't need too many words. It has a little fighting scene and mainly reflects the number of people." Qin Jue added.

"Understood." Wu Haizhou nodded and skillfully named a few people.

"What is the personality of this diplomat from a neighboring country?" he asked.

"Three kinds of people are needed to cause unrest. Bad people with ulterior motives, fools who are incited, and a large number of innocent people who don't know what is going on."

Qin Juedao, "The diplomat is that fool. He is responsible for Hans deliberately shouting to Elsa, 'Why do you have such terrible power? What on earth are you?!' and then he shouted in horror, 'Oh my God! Arendelle' The Queen is a monster!'"

"A very typical supporting role." Wu Haizhou quickly understood her intention, "I suggest that he can take on some funny roles to add fun and absurdity."

"It makes sense." Qin Jue nodded.

"It's more appropriate to leave this to Lao Liu, hahaha." A short, thin, middle-aged man raised his hand.

"That's right." Wu Haizhou also smiled, "He is a professional comedian in our troupe, and clowning is his old specialty."

"That's troublesome." Qin Jue smiled and nodded.

He added: "A diplomat needs two attendants."

"Okay." Wu Haizhou continued to roll his name.

Nearly half an hour later, Qin Jue checked the list one last time and bowed to everyone in the Qingqu Troupe: "Thank you all, teachers. Please do your best next time."

"Oh, definitely!"

Since Qin Jue was the person in charge and the one who paid them, it was obvious that Party B was from the Qing Opera Troupe. Her attitude shocked everyone.

Although the contact time was short, everyone had a clear and profound impression of Qin Jue's character.

After the business was over, Qin Jue sent Wu Haizhou and others out of the Lin En Theater, not forgetting to thank the boss Li Hong who had been so helpful.

Not long after, everyone in the Qingqu Troupe dispersed at the subway station and went back to their homes.

A few minutes later, a transfer message and a Feixun message suddenly popped up on Wu Haizhou's mobile phone at the same time.

[Qin Jue]: I have already transferred 30% of my salary. Teacher Wu remembers to check it.

The string of numbers symbolizing real money jumped directly in front of his eyes. Wu Haizhou stared blankly at the Feixun message popping up at the top, feeling extremely complicated for a moment.

This Qin Jue...

After a while, he smiled and sighed in his heart.

It's really hard to accept that someone at such a young age has such a method.

4500+
