Rebirth of the rich and famous

Chapter 19 Talking Hearts
Facing Song Xiaoye's eyes, Ma Xuancheng was startled, and frowned unconsciously, but soon, he relaxed his brows.

It was because he was so close that he forgot that the person in front of him was just a 16-year-old girl.

Smiling, Ma Xuancheng looked away, and asked jokingly: "Recently, have you been scolding me behind my back? Calling me a tyrant! It's a ****! It's an unreasonable bastard..."

It's as if you've heard it yourself.

Song Xiaoye was stunned by Ma Xuancheng's sudden question, and after a slow reaction, she shook her hands, "No, no, it's a good thing that Director Ma has such strict requirements."

"Oh?" Ma Xuancheng turned his head to look at her, "Don't you think I'm just venting on you? Otherwise, why would I be so harsh on you?"

"Director Ma also wants to make a wonderful film. The higher the requirement, the better the effect..." The voice froze, and Song Xiaoye's eyes lit up.

Looking at Ma Xuancheng, she seemed to realize something: Why did you say such things to her suddenly?Is it because he was too fierce to her just now?

Perhaps, this is already another way of apologizing.

"Student Song, have you heard the story of 'Shang Zhongyong'?" Ma Xuancheng didn't look at Song Xiaoye, but asked directly.

Nodding her head, Song Xiaoye didn't realize why she turned to another topic.

"Talent is very important, but if you don't know how to make progress and don't want to learn, no matter how high your talent is, you won't be able to achieve success. Just like a piece of excellent jade, it will always be a stubborn stone without dissection and polishing."

Ma Xuancheng looked at Song Xiaoye, smiled softly, and was completely different from the man who had been yelling loudly before, "I am willing to be a person who polishes jade, but it also depends on whether the jade scripture can stand the grind."

After a long silence, Song Xiaoye suddenly laughed.With his head down, although he only smiled slightly, it was still as bright as spring, "Thank you..."

Although he didn't praise her explicitly, Ma Xuancheng's words had completely restored her confidence.

Seeing her smile, Ma Xuancheng also heaved a sigh of relief.

Irritability may be a problem shared by many directors, but a good director can never achieve success only by relying on tyrants.

When to be ruthless and fierce, and when to praise and praise, he is also thinking about learning.

When asked about Song Xiaoye's confusion during the performance, Ma Xuancheng said warmly: "I know you may be confused, and think that there is no such love in this society that lives and dies - to be honest, I don't know either. Maybe, There is really no such kind of pure love that doesn’t think about anything in this society now, but maybe, our eyes didn’t notice it..."

Turning his head, he looked at Song Xiaoye, "But, do you know? It is precisely because such emotions are hard to find in the world that "Romeo and Juliet" is famous all over the world."

"Look, what are we acting for? For people to see! Just like those who write novels, if you want to say, I act and write novels for my own entertainment and have nothing to do with people! OK, then please You hide, hide, don't let people see your performances and your novels..."

Looking at Song Xiaoye's dazed eyes, he didn't care if Song Xiaoye really understood, but kept saying: "No matter what kind of art it is, its ultimate goal is for the public to appreciate and feel it—— A play is nothing without the audience's appreciation! Therefore, all our performances are not for ourselves, but for the audience. Whatever the audience likes, we have to give them..."

"I like princesses and princes to grow old together, OK! I like Cinderella marrying a wealthy family, OK! The sparrow turns into a phoenix, and the barmaid turns into a princess, it's still OK! Naturally, if I want to see Juliet love Romeo, life and death, there is no problem—— Whether it is a director or an actor, what we ultimately want to give to the audience is just a dream! A dream they long for! So, when acting, don’t think about whether there are such things in real life, and don’t think about yourself. We're just giving the audience what they want most..."

She seems to understand, but Song Xiaoye vaguely feels as if there is a ray of light illuminating the road ahead, making her understand how she should go.

Ma Xuancheng is right, maybe art is a very personal thing, but in many cases, art is actually a very public thing.No one appreciates, no one agrees, no matter how much effort, no matter how much painstaking effort, it will be in vain.

Although Ma Xuancheng didn't say it so bluntly, in the final analysis, it was just a sentence: as an actor, don't take yourself too seriously!

Artists, their own views, their own thoughts, in fact, they are just a carrier of the audience's dreams, without the audience, they are not even farts.

Thinking that way in her heart, Song Xiaoye turned her head and suddenly laughed.

It was true that she was thinking too much, and she wasn't reading the social news, but was looking for a story about "boys and girls who died in love against the evil forces that beat mandarin ducks with clubs".

They are now playing "Romeo and Juliet", a play that has been popular for a hundred years, but it is just a dream, let alone have to be connected to reality?
"Director Ma," whispered, she looked at Ma Xuancheng seriously, "Thank you, teacher."

She was stunned because of her solemn thanks.Looking at the girl's bright eyes, with the sparkle in them, Ma Xuancheng unconsciously laughed too.

Perhaps, this talented girl in front of her will really become a great actor, maybe.

Neither Song Xiaoye nor Ma Xuancheng told anyone about the heart-to-heart conversation, and they treated that conversation as a secret with a tacit understanding.

"What did Director Ma tell you?" Seeing Song Xiaoye smile at Ma Xuancheng, Will couldn't help frowning.

"That guy, speaking is worse than—" he fanned his nose vividly with his hands, "it stinks. If it were me, I wouldn't give him a good face!"

"Good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease." Seeing that Will raised his eyebrows, obviously not understanding, Song Xiaoye laughed loudly.

Turning his gaze, he caught a glimpse of Song Haohua who was slowly approaching the stage, and Song Xiaoye's smile immediately faded away.

Seeing Song Xiaoye laughing away, Song Haohua couldn't help laughing bitterly.Since when, he has become one of the people Xiaoye doesn't want to see.

"I'm looking for you?" Staring at Song Haohua, Will's expression was a bit unkind, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

Song Xiaoye was taken aback, and immediately knew that it was because her reaction misled Will, "No, it's my cousin."

"Cousin?" Obviously, he doesn't know much about the relationship between cousins ​​and cousins ​​in China, Will just muttered: "Why do you always come to trouble you with relatives?"

Perhaps, it is because to outsiders, she is a shadow that does not exist?

Smiling thoughtfully, Song Xiaoye jumped off the stage and quickly walked up to Song Haohua, "Third Brother."

"A very familiar friend?" Song Haohua slowly looked away, but he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

In the past, Song Xiaoye was extremely unsociable, except for his cousin, he seldom talked to boys.But now, you can also chat and laugh with other boys.

Song Xiaoye smiled, but didn't answer him, just asked lightly: "Are you here to talk about the school celebrations the day after tomorrow?"

She already knew before that this year's school celebration not only invited the Song family to participate, but also paid for all the sponsorship expenses, and Song Haohua was the person in charge.

There was no such plot before, perhaps, because she has never been demerited for "plagiarism and stealing test questions" in this life?
Song Haohua agreed, looked at Song Xiaoye with serious thoughts, and said after a while: "Tomorrow, my aunt and elder brother will come, and fifth uncle, fifth aunt, and third grandma will also come... Xiaoye, you should quit Right! You can't hide the fact that you were acting on stage, grandpa will definitely be furious if he finds out, and you will always be the one who suffers."

"I know," Song Xiaoye laughed, "That's how they designed it..."

Because of Song Xiaoye's whisper, Song Haohua's expression was also a little ugly.

Why didn't he know that Song Shifen and the others were plotting behind this?But what annoyed him even more was that Song Xiaoye knew that he was being plotted by others but still insisted on going his own way.

"Xiaoye, just listen to Brother Haohua and give up! What good will it do you to anger Grandpa? I know you have been complaining all these years, but what's the matter, Brother Haohua will help you, don't let yourself be so disadvantaged... ..."

"Third brother," Song Xiaoye said in a low voice, intercepting Song Haohua's words, "I know your kindness. But I can't give up——now it's not a question of whether I want to anger grandpa, but I really like acting."

Turning around, looking at her companions who were undergoing the final intense rehearsal on the stage, Song Xiaoye had a bright smile on her face, "I like acting——Brother San, I really like acting! Standing on the stage, although it is Playing someone else's story, but giving me a sense of being alive..."

Lowering her head, she murmured in a low voice: "It seems that Nie Xiaoqian has resurrected her soul through a dead body, using someone else's body to act out someone else's life, but living her own life..."

Such a weird feeling, even she felt very strange whispering like this, she didn't expect Song Haohua to understand.

Although he couldn't really hear Song Xiaoye's words, Song Haohua could clearly see the smile on Song Xiaoye's face.Because of her smile, Song Haohua had no way to dissuade her.

It seems that it has been a long time since Xiaoye has seen such a bright smile.

"I'll see if I can persuade my aunt and the others not to come. But..." Sighing, he said with a wry smile: "Even if my aunt doesn't come, grandpa will still know about it. The third grandma won't speak good words for you ..."

That's natural, it's strange if you don't add oil and vinegar.But apart from Yu Li who would sue in front of her grandfather, maybe she should be more worried about her father and wife?

Song Xiaoye lowered her eyes, thought about it, but still laughed.

What do those do?No matter how bad the consequences are, she will still stand on that stage—not for others, but only for herself.

Not just this time, this day, but every day, every moment of her life...
