You've passed the college entrance examination, but can't you make it in the entertainment

Chapter 190 Challenge Comedy

When they were in Bincheng, Leyan told Li Yiran that they were under a lot of pressure because they didn't know how to handle the role they were going to interpret this time.

Nowadays, various factors such as the pressure brought by Deng Xuefeng's high expectations, the pressure brought by the difficulty of the character, the pressure of the live audience, and the pressure of a strong family and friends group have piled up together. Leyan is really under a lot of pressure.

Many of these factors are beyond his control. For example, he can't convince the company leaders not to come, and he can't make Deng Xuefeng withdraw his expectations for him. The only thing he can do now is to try his best to play the role of "Master Tang" well. .

So after that day, he immersed himself in the script and character interpretation.

After a week of stress like this, Le Yan's interpretation of Master Tang, also known as Ma Bond, deepened again.

Master Tang is the real Mabond, but he has no talent. He is just a poor scholar who writes sour love poems. He buys an official position in the county town with the money from his wife's "sleep", and meets the gangsters on the way, which leads to all the subsequent stories.

Because of this background, one of the most obvious labels on Master Tang is 'greed for money'.

Whether he is helping Zhang Mazi or deceiving Huang Silang, his core plot in this work is to make money.

In addition to being greedy for money, Master Tang also has a series of complex labels such as being afraid of death, cunning, and greasy.

Although he is a quasi-villain, he is hard to hate.

Le Yan studied the reasons for this for a long time, and finally concluded that Master Tang's greed, lust, fear of death and other 'evils' were just petty evils, and he had never done anything serious or harmful to nature.

The teacher emphasized to them many times that actors must not stop their body movements on the stage. Once they stop, the audience's attention will be lost.

Has this system seen anything dirty recently?

A few days before the official performance, he came up with a second solution - to present the entire character in a comedic way.

Leyan murmured in pain:

"That's not how the two worlds of ice and fire work."

But if it is performed in the form of comedy, no matter how many pieces of baggage are revealed, the audience can easily accept it.

The two D-level skills happen to be inseparable from this grade drama.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining enlightenment points*10."

After discovering that this path was feasible, Leyan began to think about how to improve it.

His smoothness and softness combined with Zhang Mazi's strength make the whole work relaxed and the rhythm is not too tense.

This is a stage performance, so the words can be spoken clearly so that the audience can hear clearly and accurately receive what the actors want to express.

After upgrading [Speech], Leyan looked at [Body Language] in the system.

In particular, Leyan wanted to perform Master Tang in the form of comedy. He remembered that many of Ge You's body movements were very wide when watching the movie.

Now Leyan only has more than 80 comprehension points in hand. It is not feasible to upgrade skills to level B. It takes 100 points to upgrade from B to A.

With the 10 perception points he just gained, Leyan directly upgraded [Body Language] to level B.

"Congratulations to the host for winning the song "Love That Never Lost Connection"."

The status card is definitely unusable. With Deng Xuefeng present, the logic cannot go wrong, so the only thing that can quickly improve his level in a short period of time is the skills in the system.

If the performance is in the form of a drama, one or two 'information' can be buried in each scene at most. If too much information is thrown away, the audience will be tired.

Master Tang does not have the right to play chess, but he has the right to watch chess and give advice. Judging from the script, he looks like a complete 'shrunk turtle' who wants to see what is going on when he encounters danger. He will immediately withdraw his head to protect himself and fight to death and never come forward again.

Le Yan often feels that Master Tang is the lubricant in "The Thief of Officials". He seems to have an intersection with every character and influences the development direction of many key events.

A solution that Le Yan had thought about before was to subtract the characters, delete some unimportant characters, and only show the most important ones, but he still couldn't do it after thinking about it.

It is a good thing to have full characters. Other students who were given thin characters were trying their best to complete the characters. He could not kill the characters by himself.

This feeling gradually faded away until he spit out a mouthful of milky white gastric juice.

The character's personality also echoes the identity of the 'Master'.

Leyan's line skills are not bad, but when he recites his lines on stage louder than when performing in front of the camera, he is likely to swallow the words. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Leyan has raised [Enunciation] to a C level.

"[Body Language] is upgraded and system rewards are being distributed."

But Leyan had never performed a comedy character before. He tried a few plots in the acting classroom and unexpectedly found that it was okay!

Although it's not as good as Teacher Ge You's performance, the 'flavor' is right, it just lacks some heat.

After more than a minute of going cold and then hot, my body feeling gradually returned to normal.

[Body language] is a very important performance method on the stage.

"I felt very comfortable upgrading skills before, but now the experience is getting worse and worse." Le Yan frowned and wiped the corners of his mouth.

As the system sound disappeared in his ears, Le Yan suddenly felt his tongue being sucked by something inexplicable.

What was even more irritating was that the sucking sensation would appear every few seconds, with his tongue connected to his throat. Soon he couldn't control himself and retched twice, and a foreign body sensation began to appear in his throat.

That is to say, Leyan needs to show a series of character traits of Master Tang such as greed for money, lust, timidity, mellowness, and cunning in a limited space. At the same time, the audience must not hate this character but also like him.

There is little space to play, and there are many things to talk about. If you cannot come up with a good solution, you will probably be left with a character who has no personality and is disgusting.

"[Speech] upgrade, system rewards are being distributed."

"Congratulations to the host for receiving the status card gift pack*1."

C-level [Liberating Nature] is not very relevant to the current difficulty.

There are also D-level [enunciation] and [body language].

Skills related to performance include B-level [Facial Control - Sadness], [Facial Control - Joy], and [Eye Expression].

C-level [Liberating Nature].

I wonder if Deng Xuefeng gave him this character because he was considering letting him carry the entire drama?

Although Mr. Tang has participated in a lot of scenes overall, there are not many plots that can really be performed well, no more than 10 scenes.

And this kind of performance can also solve the problem of how to make the audience like a villain.

After the system sound disappeared this time, a burning sensation suddenly appeared in various joints of his body. Before Leyan put his hands on his skin to feel it, the burning sensation disappeared again, replaced by waves of biting cold.

He is the most understanding character in the play, and he is also the best at pretending to be confused.

Leyan moved his limbs and felt the changes brought about by the skills.

The movements are much more flexible, and it seems that every bone can be controlled accurately.

Leyan looked at himself in the mirror.

He put his legs together, his hands drooped naturally, and he sat down hard on his buttocks, pulling his neck and shouting:

"You're going to suffer a lot!"

"Is there this line in the script?" Qi Rui and Fang Xiaoyu suddenly appeared at the door.

Leyan returned to normal and said with a smile:

"No, no, I'm imitating."

"Who are you imitating? Is it a little weird?" Qi Rui's facial features twisted together.

Has any teacher performed like this?

Le Yan put his arms around their necks and walked towards the cafeteria:

"The teacher's name is Michael Jackass."

In addition to the preparation of the core, the outer packaging cannot be left behind.

The specifications of the grade-level drama are the same as those of formal drama performances, and the number of services is the same.

So before the official performance, in addition to carefully preparing the script and characters, the students also had to worry about their makeup and costumes.

There are no makeup artists or stylists in the school, so you have to do everything yourself.

Most of the students only have to worry about their clothes. It doesn’t matter whether they wear makeup or not. This is a stage performance, so just wear whatever foundation you want and don’t make it too dark.

However, the role Le Yan wants to perform is quite different from his true nature. He also has to express it in a comedic way, and his makeup must be changed.

He was just twenty this year, fair and pink, and he just walked onto the stage. The audience could not relate to Master Tang, who was cunning, greedy and shrewd, and who was in his forties or fifties.

In order to decide on a suitable makeup style, Le Yan asked Fang Zihan and Sun Sihao respectively. The three of them had many rival roles, so he also had to take their styling styles into consideration.

"I'm going to wear a fake beard, nothing else." Fang Zihan said a little disappointed.

He really wanted to make a breakthrough in styling, but he was worried that the material would be leaked online and fans wouldn't be able to accept it. Idols must consider fans' acceptance in everything they do. Even if there is only one percent risk, they must think twice.

"Where are the clothes? What color are you going to wear?" Le Yan continued to ask.

"Mainly white. The clothes I looked at in the clothing warehouse were all white."

The school has a complete set of costumes and props for students to choose from. Usually everyone will choose 3-5 alternative costumes before the performance. Because it is not a formal performance, there will be no need to change costumes after going on stage, and the same clothes will be worn from beginning to end.

Huang Silang is a wealthy man in the city, and his clothing style is nothing more than a suit or a mandarin jacket. The information provided by Fang Zihan made Le Yan aware of it.

Sun Sihao’s reply on the other side was:

"I just put on a beard."

"No other makeup?" Le Yan asked somewhat unexpectedly.

The temperaments of Zhang Mazi and Sun Sihao don't quite match. You don't have the burden of being an idol, so you don't need some makeup to enhance your character?

Sun Sihao shook his head confidently:

"The focus is on the drama, and the styling is mainly simple."

Le Yan nodded and continued to ask:

"What's the color of the costume?"

Sun Sihao shook his little hand, revealing the expensive watch on his wrist.

He touched his hair and said calmly:

"My performance clothes are custom-made from outside. Like everyone else, they are light-colored."

Leyan silently wrote down the information he said.

Except for a few female students, most of the clothes chosen for this performance were light-colored.

After collecting the information, Leyan dived into the school's prop room.

He has no control over whether other people do makeup or not. Master Tang’s look this time must be eye-catching!

As the date approaches, the students become more and more nervous.

Not only the acting department, but almost all the teachers and students in the school knew that more than 3000 spectators attended the freshman play of the acting department.

Such a big battle is a huge pressure for students.

Three days before the official performance.

Qi Rui was so nervous that he suffered from insomnia. When he was reading lines in the corridor in the middle of the night, he met five or six classmates who also had insomnia.

Two days before the official performance.

When Fang Xiaoyu secretly went to the drugstore across from the school to buy Kaisel, he met Wang Tiantian, who was also suffering. The two patients confessed and found out that they were both the victims of this grade drama!

The day before the official performance.

Xie Zhenyuan suddenly didn't leave the dormitory door for the whole day and stayed in bed wondering what he was doing.

His state in the past two weeks was to go out at 9 o'clock in the morning and return to the dormitory at night when the lights were turned off. He wished that one minute could be broken into pieces and used as 60 seconds, and he was constantly polishing the character.

When Fang Xiaoyu asked him why he stopped practicing, Xie Zhenyuan said:

"I can't practice anymore. When I think about so many people coming tomorrow, I feel so nervous that I want to vomit. Let me change my mind."

The day of the official performance.

Leyan, who was as steady as an old dog a few days ago, has turned pale since he got up, and he can blend into the wall even when standing next to it.

Xie Zhenyuan laughed at him:

"Yo? Are you finally getting nervous? Who said you would treat the audience as cabbage?"

Leyan turned his head mechanically:

"If your boss brought a group of company executives to watch your performance, I'm afraid you would be so nervous that you would vomit bile, right?"

When he opened his eyes in the morning, he saw Ni Zhen's WeChat message.

Ye Xinchun is coming too

Not only herself, she also brought a group of company executives who she couldn't name.

How can I be so virtuous?

I was able to have my mysterious boss come to the scene just to watch the final exam of my first semester of freshman year!

Plus Tian Ni, Ji Xueli and Li Yiran

How about renaming this grade drama 'Leyan Stage'?

Some of the most awesome viewers came to see him!

Leyan's depressed state lasted until he saw Bi Xia backstage and reached its peak.

Bi Xia also said with a very bad expression:

"Sister Man is also here to see us."

Leyan slapped his forehead in pain.

Destroy when you are tired.

The show starts at 3pm.

At 10 a.m., students arrived backstage one after another to prepare.

Teachers from each subject were with them throughout the whole process, giving final guidance and instructions to the students.

"Remember not to turn to the stage, Xie Zhenyuan. Always pay attention to the position of the lights and the positions of other actors on the stage."

"Bixia's lines should be read more slowly. It doesn't matter who says it faster. It must be rhythmic."

"Xia Bai! Why do you make yourself more exquisite than your female classmates? This is a performance, not a beauty pageant! Pull off the false eyelashes!!"

Le Yan and the crying Xia Bai walked side by side to the dressing room. He was also going to put on his own makeup.

But at the door, he suddenly stopped.

Why was Deng Xuefeng's voice not heard among the harsh voices of teachers around him?

What about others?

How could he, the most important person, be absent at such a critical moment?

Le Yan temporarily put aside his doubts and walked towards the dressing room again.

Now is not the time to care about Deng Xuefeng, you should take care of yourself first!

Leyan sat on the makeup chair and put on a pair of mustaches on herself first.

There are various props in the school prop room, including dentures, but it took him more than an hour to select this pair of mustaches.

It was thin and long, with a wretched look, and he was very satisfied!

After putting on the mustache, Le Yan immediately began to feel happy.

But this is not enough. Le Yan has a very good foundation. If he wants to step into the role of 'Master Tang', he needs to continue to work hard.

Then he took out a wig from his bag.

This was bought in the prop room according to the movie version. It is chin-length, parted in the middle, and a little greasy.

After a few seconds of mental preparation, Leyan put it on his head.

He laughed out loud as soon as he put it on.

Enemy!

That's it!

The hair on both sides was somewhat blocking the view, so Le Yan imitated a girl and pulled her hair behind her ears.

As he was examining his new look, a stranger appeared in the mirror.

That man and lewd Leyan are two extremes.

Her hair is neatly trimmed and combed neatly on the top of her head, and her face is fair and clean. At first glance, she looks very stylish.

Leyan was shocked when he saw the man's facial features!

The man was also shocked when he recognized Le Yan's facial features! !

The two looked at each other in the mirror.

"What kind of look do you have?"

"Teacher Deng, why are you wearing makeup?"
