Chapter 134 Xu Xian's request
"Ah, are we Xu Jiali coming?"
In a very spacious theater, a middle-aged man who was constantly commanding with his hands was standing in front of the seats in the first row. When he saw the beautiful figure who was walking over while politely greeting the staff, he couldn't help but stop the movements in his hand and shouted with a smile on his lips.
"Hello."
Xu Xian also asked the middle-aged man with a smile and bowed politely.
"It's a bit late today, what's wrong? We, Xu Jiali, aren't we the earliest ones?" The middle-aged man smiled and looked at Xu Xian standing at Tingting, and asked with a little joking voice.
"Sorry, director," Xu Xian smiled slightly when she heard the middle-aged man's words. She certainly could tell that this was a joke now, but she still bowed carefully, "I forgot about time when I was in the practice room."
"Hey, our Xu Jiali is really a model student. Actually, you can't come today. Isn't it Cheng Xi's rehearsal today?" The middle-aged man looked at Xu Xian with admiration, and then said with a smile on his face.
"That's not possible. The performance is about to be held. Even if you don't participate in the rehearsal and watch it on the side, it's a practice." Xu Xian smiled gently when he heard the middle-aged man's words, and replied with a little serious tone.
"Yes, I'm really nervous at this time."
The middle-aged man nodded when he heard this, turned around and looked at the stage that had not been officially prepared, then turned back. He looked at the smile on Xu Xian's face and was suddenly stunned for a moment, as if he had discovered something, and asked Xu Xian strangely: "Xu Xian, have you...have you encountered any good things recently?"
"Oh? Why do you ask like this?" Xu Xian was stunned when he heard the middle-aged man's question and asked with a blink of an eye.
"Because...the smile looks very different today, it feels different from the usual polite smile, it feels...full of happiness, well, happiness, so, have we Xu Jiali encountered something good recently?" The middle-aged man raised his hand and pinched his chin and looked at the smile on Xu Xian's face seriously, and then said in a daze.
"…is it...is it? No, maybe the performance is about to begin, so I'm a little happy."
When I heard the middle-aged man's analysis, for some reason, Xu Xian's expression suddenly became a little strange. He seemed to have thought of something. He blinked his eyes in a hurry. The fleshy cheeks that showed the baby fat without makeup seemed a little red?
"Could it be..."
As a senior musical producer, middle-aged men are of course good at capturing the details of the characters' facial expressions, so the subtle changes on Xu Xian's face can't be hidden from his eyes. After a slight moment, a possibility emerged in his mind, "Are we Xu Jiali... in love?"
The middle-aged man's words made Xu Xian open his eyes wide, and his fresh face had a completely different expression than usual, and the flush on his cheeks seemed to be even more obvious. However, after a second of calming, the expression on her face slowly recovered. She raised her white slender hands and casually tied her hair. She smiled at the middle-aged man and replied in a quiet tone: "No, not what you thought."
The middle-aged man subconsciously narrowed his eyes, looked at the expression on Xu Xian's face carefully, and seemed to notice nothing abnormal. Then he blinked and nodded, "Well... it seems that I should think too much."
When the middle-aged man said this, a relieved expression flashed from his fresh face. Xu Xian smiled and changed the topic and asked: "Director, are Sister Cheng Xi and the others ready in the background?"
"Ah? Oh...yes, they have almost prepared in the backstage. After the stage is arranged, they can start the rehearsal. Let's just watch it here." As for the sudden change of topic of Xu Xian, the girl Xu Xian, the middle-aged man was just a little stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, turned to look at the stage that had been almost arranged, and said to Xu Xian with a smile.
“Ah…yes.”
The clear eyes were locked on the middle-aged man's face without a trace. When he saw that his face seemed to be nothing unusual, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Xian smiled and answered the middle-aged man, and then stood there quietly with the middle-aged man and set his eyes on the stage.
However, what Xu Xian didn't notice was that the middle-aged man turned his head and looked at the stage, a faint smile flashed in his eyes when he looked at her.
This little girl, you are still far from acting.
Holding his hands, he quietly watched the staff on the stage busy. Although the middle-aged man did not look at the fresh figure standing beside him, he couldn't help but smile a little playful smile, and there seemed to be a curious look in his eyes.
Who is it...
"Okay...start!"
When French with a strong accent said this on the radio, Xu Xian, who was sitting in the seat, couldn't help but straighten his body, and his little charming lying silkworm eyes stared at the stage seriously.
The middle-aged man sitting next to Xu Xian was almost the same. His expression when he was joking on his face before was completely restrained, and he even stood up subconsciously and stared at the performance on stage quite seriously.
He is different from Seo Hyun. Seo Hyun focuses on the performance of the actors, but he still needs to take into account the control of the entire scene and cannot let go of every detail. Therefore, he must ensure that his eyes always pay attention to every corner of the stage to avoid problems during the official performance.
"Gone with the Wind", the original famous "Gone with the Wind", is a musical that Seo Hyun is currently preparing to perform. It tells a story about love and destiny in the context of the Civil War. The heroine Scarlett in the play is played by Bada and Seo Hyun, while the male lead Bai Reed is played by Zhu Jinmo and Kim Falai.
Unlike film and television, the same character in a musical may be performed by multiple actors in turn, which is related to the form of the musical itself. Therefore, when acting in a musical, you must not only pay attention to your singing voice and movements, but also pay attention to the running-in with each actor. After all, the musical is a live performance, and everyone does not know what will happen temporarily, so the running-in is necessary.
Today was supposed to be the rehearsal time for Bada and the other two male actors, but Seo Hyun is still here. As she said herself, watching is also a kind of exercise. From the perspective of the audience, you may be able to find some problems that you cannot find when performing, which is also a familiar process.
The musical "Gone with the Wind" has invited a French national treasure-level production team. Whether in terms of sound effects, lighting and dance, or detailed clothing, it is very high-level, so even though Xu Xian and the others are already quite familiar with the plot, they still watch it with relish.
Xu Xian quietly looked at Bada and Zhu Zhenmo who were walking up the stairs holding hands. There was a quiet smile on the corner of his mouth and something shining in his eyes.
The seniors are all very good. She really learned something during the observation process. This made her a little grateful, but she couldn't help but admire the strength of the two seniors.
The pleasant music sounded lightly in my ears, and Xu Xian looked at the stage very seriously, her clear eyes still blinking. However, at this moment, her expression was stunned, the clear eyes in her eyes flashed, and her face suddenly changed slightly.
On the stage, Rhett, played by Zhu Jinmo, was kissing with Scarlett, the bada version of Scarlett. The action was full of the style of a Western musical, very enthusiastic and ambiguous.
The little man subconsciously squeezed his lips tightly, and looked at the two people kissing on the stage, his eyes blinked quickly, and the expression on his face kept changing.
I touched a musical for about a few hours, but because I was watching it carefully, I felt that time passed quickly.
The middle-aged man was staring at the curtain call on the stage with a satisfied smile on his lips, but at this moment he heard a faint sounding call from beside him.
"Director, I..."
He couldn't help but turn his head and look. The middle-aged man was a little stunned because he was seeing a long hair falling down. As for his face, he seemed to have lowered his head.
"What...what happened?" Seeing Xu Xian suddenly looked like this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but ask in a daze.
"That...that..."
I don’t know why, but Xu Xian, who has been speaking respectfully in front of middle-aged men and others, was hesitant and seemed to be difficult to speak out.
The middle-aged man squinted his eyes and did not urge Xu Xian. He saw that this girl seemed to want to say something, but because the musical was not over, he said it until now. This really aroused the curiosity of the middle-aged man. Although he had only been together for a few months, the production staff, whether during practice or during rest, could feel the beauty of this girl named Xu Zhuxian in his heart. So the middle-aged man was really curious. What words could make this serious but not pedantic, and who would definitely speak out in his heart so hesitant?
Xu Xian raised his head slightly, looked at the middle-aged man who was looking at her with a little confusion in his eyes. He gritted his teeth slightly, stood up and bowed deeply to the middle-aged man.
"What the hell is it?"
Seeing Xu Xian's behavior, the middle-aged man was stunned again, and then the curiosity in his eyes became more obvious. He chuckled and looked at Xu Xian with some confusion.
This girl obviously wants to ask him for something, but the question is...what is it?
"that……"
Xu Xian straightened up, bit her red lips gently, and hesitated to look at the middle-aged man again. However, this time she only hesitated for a moment, then took a breath slightly, and did not close her eyes, but looked at the middle-aged man seriously and said, "That... Director, can you change the kiss scene in my performance to a loan position?"
