246 Preparation

Jiang se was currently going to film “demon. musical or light-hearted comedy was not her choice at the moment.

Her gaze fell on autumn Begonia and she was a little surprised.

“The last time this drama was broadcast was more than 50 years ago.”

This was a work from the Republic of China, and it was arranged into a drama at that time, which also caused a great sensation.

Dong Chaoping looked at Jiang se in surprise and gave her a thumbs up.

“I didn’t expect you to know about this.”

As the Chinese people’s entertainment methods increased, the imperial capital’s Grand theater’s performance programs also kept up with the times in recent years. They introduced many classic foreign songs, dances, and other performance methods, while many traditional plays were put aside.

This ” autumn Begonia ” was written by the old teacher Qin Sipei. When it was published, it caused a sensation. The story was mainly about the Beijing Opera artist, autumn Begonia. He was appreciated by the warlord because of his ” understanding of su San Qi. later, he got to know the warlord’s third aunt and fell in love with her. In the end, he was persecuted by the warlord and lived a poor life. In the end, he committed suicide.

the station has been rehearsing some of the classic plays recently.’Autumn Begonia’ is currently being rehearsed and is expected to be aired during the spring Festival.

In fact, in this era, the arrangement of such plays was more about reminiscence. It was to satisfy the memories of the old people of that era.

To this day, many young people might not have even heard of ” autumn Begonia. Dong Chaoping did not expect Jiang se to reveal the time when ” autumn Begonia ” was last released after reading the script.

“I’ve heard the elders in my family mention it before.” Jiang se replied casually. She had no intention of bringing up the matter again. After exchanging a few more words with him, he started talking about the cast for ” autumn Begonia “.

In order to put such a classic play on the stage, the Grand Theater had put in a lot of effort. After the decision to re-produce the classic, it took half a year to choose the play actors, not to mention the rehearsals during the period. From the protagonists to the supporting actors, to the extras, they had to consider it again and again.

“Take a look, which role do you want to try? Third aunt or Haitang Qiu?”

“I’ll ask them to help you keep an eye on it,” Dong Chaoping asked with a smile.

The last time Jiang se came to the theater to practice, she had auditioned for both male and female characters in the drama. However, most of the characters she had auditioned for were supporting roles. The reason Chang Yuhu had asked her to practice was so that she could put down her ‘airs’. Therefore, the characters she had auditioned for in the early stages were not the main characters in the drama.

Dong Chaoping had the intention to do Chang Yuhu a favor. Moreover, he knew that Jiang se was only there to learn and not to participate in a play at the last minute. Hence, he generously offered the two leading roles in ” autumn Begonia ” for Jiang se to try.

Jiang se took a look at the script and said with a smile, ”

“I think the warlord role is more suitable for me at the moment.”

She glanced at Dong Chaoping and said, ”

“Who’s playing the role of a warlord?”

She wanted to play the role of a warlord, which was a little beyond Dong Chaoping’s expectations. In ” autumn Begonia, ” warlords were the worst characters in the whole drama. They were brutal and fierce, and the performer was Liang Chunbo, who was quite famous in the drama world.

“This is a little difficult.”

Dong Chaoping laughed bitterly. Liang Chunbo was an old artist. He was already over 60 years old this year. Although his reputation and status were not as good as Chang Yuhu’s, his status in the drama world was also very unique.

This man had a stubborn and eccentric temper. Sometimes, even Dong Chaoping would not buy it. This time, he was invited to play the warlord in ” autumn Begonia ” because he liked the show very much.

An old artist like him would not listen to Dong Chaoping. If Jiang se wanted him to give her some advice, Dong Chaoping’s words might not work on her. She would have to come up with a solution on her own.

“It’s okay, I won’t make things difficult for you.”

After informing Dong Chaoping that she was going to study here, Jiang se did not immediately join the troupe’s rehearsing. Instead, other than going to school and practicing her dance, she would first visit the women’s prison to observe the expressions, eyes, and body language of the prisoners. Occasionally, she would chat with others and mention the prisoners ‘lives before they were imprisoned.

She would make time to head to the theater before evening. Due to Dong Chaoping’s earlier words, Jiang se chose to observe Liang Chunbo up close.

Every time Liang Chunbo went on stage to perform, she would stand below the stage and watch his every move. She watched him vividly act out the smugness of a warlord in the early days, his appreciation of Haitang Qiu and his lust for women. Later on, when he found out that Haitang Qiu, whom he admired, had an affair with his third aunt, he was furious and no longer cared about the old feelings and persecuted her. Liang Chunbo vividly displayed the heartlessness and ruthlessness of a warlord. He handled the details well and the emotional transition was natural. It didn’t give people a feeling of unfamiliarity.

In contrast, the actor playing Haitang Qiu was much more suppressed in front of Liang Chunbo. Several times when Dong Chaoping came to watch the rehearsal, he would frown.

Jiang se had been observing for a month in the Grand Theater. Most of the rehearsing actors for ” autumn Begonia ” were already very familiar with her. The stage play would be released in public during the spring Festival, so the rehearsing situation had been very tense recently. The main actors and the substitute actors who were following them to practice would often practice until nine or ten at night before they could rest.

Usually, Jiang se would come around six O ‘clock. Sometimes, she would come even earlier. She would also stay with everyone until around ten O’ clock.

On the rehearsing stage, Liang Chunbo, who was playing the role of a warlord, found out that his third aunt had an affair with Haitang Qiu. He was furious and ordered people to kill the girl who pulled the strings.

The lights backstage were bright, and his expression and movements were clearly reflected. When he ordered his men to kill the matchmaker girl, he gritted his teeth, lowered his eyelids, and slightly closed his eyes. He bit his cheek to form a cold edge that was mixed with anger. His vivid actions showed the ruthlessness and Fury of a military family.

After the rehearsal, Liang Chunbo went down the stage to rest. The troupe’s staff personally handed him a handkerchief. The air conditioner was on in the rehearsal hall, and there were many people with the headlights on. It was very hot inside. After performing for a while, his clothes were wet with sweat.

Liang Chunbo wiped his face with a handkerchief. He suddenly turned to Jiang se and asked, ”

little Jiang, you’ve been looking at it for a month. Did you see anything? ”

Dong Chaoping was also on set. When he heard him taking the initiative to speak to Jiang se, he could not help but feel surprised.

Ever since Jiang se had entered the theater to watch “autumn Begonia,” most of the crew members had been very friendly toward her. Most of the actors knew that Jiang se was only there to learn from them and not to fight for her job. There was no competition. Moreover, she was Chang Yuhu’s disciple. Dong Chaoping was quite close to her. This also led to many people treating Jiang se with more respect.

But for a veteran actor like Liang Chunbo, his attitude was a little lukewarm.
