Entertaining Children

  Chapter 73 Confirmed to appear

  Although Xiao Yao has never read a formal script in his previous life or in this life, he still doesn’t understand it. Xiao Yao reads the book very quickly, and the script is not too slow. In ten minutes, Xiao Yao has read the script.

The script is called "Happiness Terminal", which has the same name as a love movie starring Tom Hanks that Xiao Yao has seen in the previous life, but the storyline is the same as another movie starring Will Smith and his son called "When happiness comes knocking." The biographical dramas of "Gate" are more similar.

   mainly talks about a single father raising his son independently, he has to face the pressure of a difficult life and the problem of how to educate his children. The father who wants to let his son live a prosperous life can only lead his son to struggle at the bottom of the society. The huge gap between dreams and reality makes the father endure a huge psychological torment, but he has to force his patience to cultivate his optimism. The spirit of facing difficulties.

  Whenever his father encounters setbacks, his son is very sensible to encourage his father and become his strong spiritual backing. The father and son supported each other and walked hard along the way, finally ushering in the hope of a great change in life.

   "You should have come to me to play this role more than a year ago." Xiao Yao closed the script and said to Sun Zhihao. There is only one child's role in the whole play, that is, the son of the father and son, so Xiao Yao knows what role he is going to play without asking.

  "More than a year ago? Don't say that I hadn't written this script at that time. Even if I did it, I wouldn't dare to ask you to play it." Sun Zhihao laughed. This little guy really understood it. When talking to him, he already felt like he was talking to an adult. It was a bit scary to think about it.

  Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying were suspicious of their conversation.

   "Let me see." Ye Jiaying took the script directly from Xiao Yao and looked at it. Xiao Siqi with a curious look also put his head together and watched it together.

   "Why? At that time, I was more like the characters in the play, and it was easier to play well?" Xiao Yao asked Sun Zhihao strangely.

  More than a year ago, Ye Jiaying hadn't appeared yet. Xiao Siqi was also a single father and son with his son Xiao Yao. The father and son also depended on and supported each other. Although the material life is better than the father and son in the script, I don't know where they are, but spiritually, they have the same place.

   "I studied the Stani system, and I also taught the Stani system," Sun Zhihao began to explain, but at the beginning, Xiao Yao interrupted him.

   "What is the Steinney system?" Xiao Yao asked.

  Looking at Xiao Yao's face with doubts, Sun Zhihao was inexplicably relieved. It turns out that this evildoer doesn't know everything.

After clearing up his mood, Sun Zhihao explained to Xiao Yao: “The Steinney system is one of the three major systems of drama performance. The other two are the Brecht system and the Mei Lanfang system. You are still young, and I don’t Let me tell you so much. If you are interested, in the future, you will be able to study and understand systematically when you grow up to enter the acting department of our film academy or other drama colleges."

"I will only tell you briefly now. Our Stanley system is also known as the Methodist school. We must fully integrate the actors into the role, and the actor and the role will be integrated into the same person, and the role will naturally be played well. It can be said that it is not acting, but the actor has become the person in the role."

"You are too young and you are too smart. If you are too similar to the character in reality, I am afraid that after I help you integrate into the character, I will not be able to help you withdraw from the character. In this case, if one If you don’t handle it well, it’s possible for people to go crazy. Don’t say your grandfather and father will look for me desperately, and I can’t forgive myself.

   "Will acting become a madman? Being an actor turns out to be a risky thing." Xiao Yao exclaimed.

   "Why, are you afraid?" Sun Zhihao asked with a smile.

   "No, I am more interested in acting." Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head, then nodded: "I agree to perform this play."

   "August 1st, have you considered it clearly?" Ye Jiaying interjected after reading the script.

"Don't worry, these are only a few extreme cases." Sun Zhihao helped relieved, "Isn't there still I watched. I have been a teacher for more than ten years, and I have done a lot of directors. You have seen my students Or did the actors in my play really happen to be unable to withdraw from the role? I will not make a random guarantee for things that I do not have the confidence to do, so I said that if it was more than a year ago, I would not look for eight Let’s play this role. Now, I’m confident that there will be no such extreme situations in Bayi."

"Since you promised, Bayi also agreed, and we have no opinion." Xiao Siqi said, "What else do we need to do? What is the schedule for rehearsal and performance? Should we come forward and coordinate with the school to ask for leave? "

"This is naturally necessary." Sun Zhihao nodded, "But before I say this, I want to tell you about the reward. Our relationship is good, but even if you don't ask about this kind of thing, I have to explain it clearly to you. ."

"You really don't need to tell us about this." Xiao Siqi smiled and shook his head. "August 1’s current labor income is all at his own disposal. In the past, the income of his song writing was all that he entrusted my manager Xu to talk about. , And then the money goes directly into his own account. But Sister Xu is a professional singer agent, she is not familiar with the market quotations in the show business circle, and she can’t help much. We all believe in your character, what about you, yourself and Just talk about August 1st."

  "Why don't you get Jiaying's agent?" Sun Zhihao suggested.

   "No," Xiao Yao said, "I don't want to be paid, just as I paid you the tuition."

   "Which line is this?" Sun Zhihao shook his head repeatedly, looking at Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying and said.

  "I have no opinion anyway." Xiao Siqi spread his hands and added: "Actually, the money in Bayi's own small vault is already a lot, and it's really not bad for your reward. I support Bayi."

"Why don't you go out for your honeymoon tomorrow? From tomorrow on, let Bayi live in my house. I will take care of all his food, lodging and transportation until you come back. How about?" Seeing Xiao Siqi's attitude, Sun Zhihao made another suggestion.

   "It's the same sentence, I don't have any comments, mainly depends on Bayi." Xiao Siqi smiled.

  "Does your house have a piano?" Xiao Yao asked Sun Zhihao.

   "Yes, Duoer is also learning the piano." Sun Zhihao smiled.

   "That line, I will go." Xiao Yao nodded.

  The matter is resolved, the next step is the timing of rehearsals and performances. Originally, Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao planned to take a two-month leave, but according to Sun Zhihao, only half a month of leave was enough.

  According to Sun Zhihao's arrangement, in the first half month, he will mainly "walk the show", conceiving how to express the content of the script on the stage, during which he needs to discuss sound and light effects and set props with lighting, sound, and stage art, and decide how to schedule the scene. There is a lot of work in this stage, and there are about three hours of work each morning and afternoon. At the same time, the guidance of Xiao Yao's acting skills is also held in the evening during this period.

  If everything goes well, we will enter the formal rehearsal stage in half a month. The real rehearsal time is two hours every night, starting at seven and ending at nine, so there is no need for Xiao Yao to ask for leave. It's just that Xiao Yao can't live in the school for this month, and he needs to negotiate with the school. As for the performance, the time is arranged on weekends, every Friday and Saturday at 7:30 in the evening, it has no effect on Xiao Yao's school.

  The three of the Xiao family had no objection to Sun Zhihao's arrangement, and the matter was settled smoothly. Tomorrow the National Day holiday ends and the school will start classes. Xiao Siqi and Sun Zhihao will take Xiao Yao to school for leave, and then set off with Ye Jiaying for their honeymoon abroad, while Xiao Yao will follow Sun Zhihao for a month of drama study rehearsal and a month and a half of drama performance.

For the school, it is not so easy to agree to a student who wants to take half a month's leave at once, but fortunately, Xiao Yao's academic performance is very good, and his star father brought another star director to the school personally to ask for leave. The school was not too embarrassed. After encouraging him not to relax and study during the vacation, the school agreed to Xiao Yao's leave. As for the issue of living on campus in the second half of the month, it is even more not a problem.

The school stipulates that all freshmen in the first grade must live on campus in order to cultivate and exercise the children’s ability to live independently. After the second grade, the school does not require compulsory residence. Now Xiao Yao is already a second grade student. Ye Jiaying had to prepare for the wedding, and both of them were busy, so they stayed on campus. Now, taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Yao, who has lost his freshness in living on campus, simply changed from living on campus to day school.

  The school got it done. Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying boarded a plane to Europe to start their honeymoon trip, while Xiao Yao took his luggage and moved into Sun Zhihao’s home.

  Sun Zhihao’s home environment is also very good. The small two-story villa is about the same size as Xiao’s new home, but the layout is quite different. Both father and son of the Xiao family play music, and the most important thing in the family is the piano room. Although the Sun family also has a piano room, the study room is more conspicuous.

  Sun Zhihao and his wife are both actors. Now, in addition to the actor's identity, Sun Zhihao also has a variety of identities such as university teacher, director, screenwriter, producer, etc. Therefore, it is normal to have a large study room.

  Sun Zhihao’s wife, Hu Xuena, is only four years old from Sun Zhihao, but she was a student when Sun Zhihao first became a teaching assistant. Also graduated from the film school, Hu Xuena was once a smash hit excellent actress and one of the famous "Four Little Girls" at that time. However, after marrying Sun Zhihao, Hu Xuena has slowly faded out of the show business circle and became a good wife and mother with peace of mind at home.

   "August 1st is here, welcome." When Sun Zhihao took Xiao Yao home, Hu Xuena was already standing at the door to greet him warmly. Seeing Xiao Yao, he immediately came out and took the suitcase in his hand from Xiao Yao.

   "Hello Aunt Hu." Xiao Yao greeted him obediently. The five families in the third season of "Where Are You Going, Dad" maintained at least one family gathering every year, but the whole family participated in it. Xiao Yao and Hu Xuena have also met several times, and they are not unfamiliar.

   "Where is Duo'er?" Xiao Yao asked his little friend when he entered the door.

   "Duo'er went to school, she is not like you took half a month off." Sun Zhihao smiled.

   "Oh!" Xiao Yao nodded, but forgot about it.
