my gilded age

Chapter 130: Bai Shiqiu's acting skills in "The Piano of Steel" exploded

The story of "The Piano of Steel" is actually very simple. It tells the story of Chen Guilin, a laid-off worker in a northeastern city. Not only was he laid off, he was also divorced, and his career crisis and family crisis came together.

In fact, this kind of thing is also common, and it is often the case.

After being laid off, Chen Guilin organized a small band and made a living by playing, playing and singing, and even stuttering.But Chen Guilin was ambitious. He wanted to train his daughter Xiao Yuan to become a pianist, so he signed up for classes, and Xiao Yuan did well in her studies.

But after all, without money, it would be difficult for a child to play the piano.

Xiao Ju found a rich man, the one who sold counterfeit medicine. Since he had money, the piano could be solved, so Xiao Ju wanted to take the child away.

In order to keep his child, Chen Guilin had to find a way to build a piano.

"I told you the story of Beethoven. He was a famous musician, but you, Uncle Bei, couldn't hear it. How can you be a musician?"

"He can't hear it, but others can."

The father and daughter, who are stuck across a pillar, move in the same way and speak in the same tone.

Chen Guilin made a wooden piano for Xiao Yuan, a fake one, with white paper wrapped on it and black and white keys drawn on it.

When he was making this instrument, Bai Shiqiu was wearing a pair of torn woolen trousers, which were not long enough. When he squatted down, his waist was exposed, and he could vaguely see his buttocks, but he didn't care about the work.

I don’t know if it counts as a show-off, but when the audience saw this, some people laughed, some were embarrassed, but some saw superb acting skills.

This kind of performance is so lifelike.

"Come on, come on..." The piano has no sound, and it all depends on the mouth.

Not long after, Xiao Yuan's playing became a little disturbing.

"What a piece of shit!"

go, the boy.

Chen Guilin was knitting yarn with his father, and when he saw this, he also made some complaints.

"My child is right, please stop saying a few words." His father's words made sense, and Chen Guilin couldn't say much.

The role of father was played by Mr. Xu. He was retired anyway and had nothing to do. One day he went to the small theater to watch Bai Shiqiu and the others rehearse a play. There happened to be an old man missing, so he might as well come and play.

This character has very few lines, and is basically a listener, listening to his son's words, some complaints, and always just smiling.

Even though his father said so, there was nothing Chen Guilin could do.

But Qin still needs it...

For the whole two big meat skewers, Shuxian was eating and drinking with Chen Guilin in a girl's coat.

"If you want me to tell you, listen to me. Give Xiao Yuan another hobby and practice calligraphy. All you need is a few brushes and paper. Normally, you only use newspapers for practice. Just spend some newspapers. It's just a lot of money."

Shuxian also has good intentions.

Chen Guilin refused, "Our Xiao Yuan is practicing so well. He is a perfect future pianist. How can I, as a father, delay my child?"

Shu Xian took a bite of flesh, "Then let the child follow her mother, can you still make a piano for the child? If you don't delay the child, let her go."

Chen Guilin became angry when he heard this, "Shuxian? What do you mean?! Xiao Yuan is delaying you? Xiao Yuan is annoying you? You haven't married yet, that's it?"

Shuxian wanted to kick Chen Guilin, "You are so heartless! Am I, Shuxian, that person? But tell me, how do you deal with the piano?"

The two of them wanted to do it, but Chen Guilin said that he had an idea.

What's the trick?
steal.

Xiao Yuan had previously gone to an elementary school to learn piano. He didn't dare to go during the day, so he went at night. However, he was discovered by the teacher, and Wang Kangmei, who was helping Wang Kangmei, was expelled. Wang Kangmei was Chen Guilin's good friend.

Then, the goal is the piano in the elementary school, but stealing this thing is indeed a bit unethical, so...

"drink!"

"As the saying goes, as much wine as you can drink, you can accomplish much!"

"Right! Come on!"

Chen Guilin found a group of friends. They all drank like crazy and then went to elementary school.

Here, there is also music.

I want to sneak a look at him~
Pretend to admire a vase of flowers~
I can only take a peek at him~
It’s like browsing a painting~
……

This song is called "Heart Love" and it is a very old song. Zhang Mn arranged it. He must be the kind of person who has a sense of the times.

And it's really interesting to put such a song in this place where the piano is stolen, as if the 'he' is the piano, and Chen Guilin's relationship with the piano, especially the matter of stealing, is a feeling of hesitation The performance is lifelike.

Of course the singer is Tan Weiwei. Her voice is really good at handling such a song.

Originally this was an Indonesian folk song, so copyright issues were easy to handle.

On stage, it's even more interesting.

"Hahaha……"

The audience laughed when they saw it, because these individuals were either professional robbers, or they just drank some wine and gained courage. The stage was carefully arranged, with many iron frames, iron ladders, and several In a place like this, it's like playing hide-and-seek.

oops~
ah~
The environment is meant to show people working in vain, so it is inevitable that everyone will bump into each other.

In this way, it is naturally very funny, and this matter of stealing the piano is of course a failure.

When he was caught by the police, they confessed that the piano was not stolen. The school understood Chen Guilin's difficulties and did not sue him.

However, this stolen piano gave everyone some understanding of the piano.

"Oh, this carpentry job is pretty good."

"It's a patch."

"Is this a tightrope?"

"Strings."

Several friends were commenting on this piano, and Chen Guilin suddenly said something.

"Can we make a piano?"

Make a piano? !

No one else believed it, but Chen Guilin finally had a plan in mind.

Ever since, the story of a laid-off worker making a piano for his child finally unfolded.

There are dilapidated and abandoned factories and people. Look for them. Chen Guilin found all his friends one by one.

"If you want to make money, then you can't want face. How can you make money if you want face?"

"Speak some advanced language."

"What is a high-level language?"

"Fudge."

Chen Guilin, who was wearing a woolen coat and a suit underneath, sat there with his legs crossed in a very standard way, fooling his friends one by one.

We almost had workers, but we still needed people who knew the technology. At this time, an old engineer who had studied in the Soviet Union came on the scene. "Wang Gong, what will you study at home after you retire?"

"Those two chimneys in our foundry... I just feel that those two chimneys were like two good friends. It's a pity that they blew up like this."

"That thing... I'm thinking about it. Worker Wang, you have to make people think that those two chimneys are valuable. Let's redesign them. Look, make them into a good-looking shape. How about a giraffe? Cute, right? Otherwise, just pretend Put up a lot of lights, it's colorful and gaudy at night, and you can watch the planes flying that day, right? In this way, these two chimneys are useful and valuable, so they won't be bombed, right?"

"Oh, Xiao Chen, your suggestion is good."

In fact, Xiao Chen came here to fool Xugong, hoping that the old engineer could help make the piano.

"I want to make a piano."

"Oh, model."

"No, no, it's a real piano."

"what?"

Although a little bold, Mr. Wang was tricked into joining, and a small piano-making team was established.

In our play, Bai Shiqiu plays Chen Guilin, Xiaoju is Aiya, the father is played by Mr. Xu, Wang Gong is played by Xu Dapao, among the other friends, Wang Kangmei is played by Zhang Molai, and the one who knows how to pick locks is Jin. Dong, the carpenter is Gu Zhixin, the caster named Ji Ge is played by Chen Sicheng... Basically, all the friends who can be found are here.

The audience looked at it and felt it was very good, especially the constant laughter and the unique way of chattering in the Northeast, and it was also different from the special bluffing in the skits and Errenzhuan.

Just like chatting and chatting, it seems extremely normal. No one is deliberately joking, but it is very funny and makes people laugh.

Caught.

But some people see it differently.

Xu Zheng has mainly been filming film and television dramas in the past two years, but he was a drama actor before and acted in many dramas.Today's visit to the capital was mainly due to the initiative of his wife, who said it was the invitation of Bai Shiqiu, the elder Bai's younger brother.

Seeing it this way now, Xu Zheng only felt very shocked.

Bai Shiqiu, the old white brother, is so good at acting!
Others may not pay attention to it, but Xu Zheng did not let go of many details, such as Chen Guilin on the stage, he has no money, is poor, is laid off, and is divorced, but this person, as long as he is outside, as long as he is in contact with others , then, he will always be upright.

You can expose your buttocks when you make a cardboard piano for your children at home, but when you meet people outside, they all wear crisp suits, woolen coats, scarves, and neatly combed hair. You don't look like a loser at all, especially... A frequent gesture.

He has a very stable posture, as if this person is a big leader. He is not in a hurry or panic, and walks very steadily.

Is this a laid-off employee?
But this is laid-off workers.

What will laid-off workers look like?
Pain, struggle, despair... Yes, it is like this, but will they behave like this in front of outsiders?
No, absolutely not, they have their own dignity, the dignity of being the masters of this country.

Workers are glorious, at least in our country, they used to be extremely glorious.

Now they are laid off, they are laid off, but they still have this honor and something in their bones, and they don't want to throw it away.

Is this pretending?

Although Xiao Ju in the play always satirizes Chen Guilin verbally and always says that he always pretends to be in bad clothes, Chen Guilin is still like this. He only wears unsightly work clothes when he is working.

When Xu Zheng saw this, he was extremely shocked. It was hard to imagine that this was the acting skills that a Chinese opera student could give.

In fact, Xu Zheng didn't know that this acting skill was not difficult for Bai Shiqiu.

It's an experiential performance. To put it simply, Bai Shiqiu is playing his father, he is imitating his father.

Not only does Bai Shiqiu always learn from his father, he also constantly recalls every moment of being with his father. Moreover, he also has an advantage, that is, Chen Guilin, played by Wang Qianyuan.

It must be said that Wang Qianyuan is indeed very powerful. He has grasped a key point, which is the stability of Chen Guilin.

This kind of stability makes it difficult for people to tell that Chen Guilin is a laid-off worker, but this is indeed the essence.

With this advantage and his father as a template, Bai Shiqiu even bought all the clothes at home.

It's the battle uniform that my father wore back then, Xu Wenqiang from the Northeast, and the suit he wore when he got married. It's been more than 20 years, and the bottom of the suitcase is now worn by Bai Shiqiu.

With these blessings, even though Bai Shiqiu is only a 20-year-old Chinese opera student, it is strange that his acting skills are not explosive.

On the stage, after experiencing many difficulties and even emotional entanglements, Shuxian and Wang Kangmei chatted too much, making Chen Guilin very jealous.

But in the end, our piano, a steel piano, was finally completed.

In the middle of making pianos, a bunch of laid-off workers seem to have regained something of their past, their drive, vitality, and upbeat spirit.

but……

"The court ruled that the child is mine."

"I know, but I've finished the piano. Anyway, I have to let the children see it."

"Row."

It was Chen Guilin who was still in a neat suit. He lost, but Xiaoju was still okay. He brought Xiaoyuan to the factory, and the piano appeared.

The piano is really a steel piano. It is quite huge and has a rough appearance.

"Here, Dad, play a piece."

"What's good?"

"It's up to you."

Xiao Yuan sat next to the piano. The piano, which had been dropped by a crane, made a beautiful sound.

When the audience saw this, many cried, especially Sister Xiao Taohong, who cried aloud.

"What are you crying for?"

"I don't know why either."

Well, I didn’t know why I cried.

On the stage, Chen Guilin and his friends stood by the piano, just listening. Chen Guilin was the same as before, wearing a straight suit, a scarf and other accessories, and a lit cigarette in his hand.

so far...

The sound of the piano suddenly changed, and a singing voice matched it.

The sky is still bright~
I will always remember~
The undulating movement of black and white keys~
The leaves sprout new buds~
Count again~
Spring, autumn, winter and summer after separation~
listen~
Touching melody~
Permeating every ounce of lonely air~
Listen carefully~
Forgot to breathe~
I found something called sadness~
Playing the piano is so sad~
My heart fell into the cold ocean...

It was Tan Weiwei who was singing. The name of this song was "Piano". It was originally sung by her, but it would take a few years. Bai Shiqiu took it out in advance and put it here, just right.

The curtain finally fell, and the play "The Piano of Steel" came to an end.

clap clap clap!
No one said anything or organized. Thunderous applause broke out. Many people couldn't help but stand up, wiping their tears and clapping vigorously.

She was smiling so happily before, but she ended up being like this... Bai Shiqiu is really good enough.

Moreover, some people couldn't hold it back.

Zhang Meng, a fat, dark man, was crying inaudibly, but he yelled at Xu Zheng, "This drama is going to be made into a movie. You should be the leading actor."

"Ah?" The applause was so loud that Xu Zheng couldn't hear it clearly.

　Thank you zero, thank you all for your support, thank you.

　　Not much more to say, today’s third update.
