248 Progress
During the final rehearsal, Haitang Qiu was captured by the warlord’s men. Jiang se held a knife prop in her hand. When she slowly walked toward him, she was smiling, but there was a crazed look in her eyes. Hu Jianwu’s mind went blank for a moment. He was in a daze.
‘Da da da da’, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Step by step, he approached Haitang Qiu. At this moment, Hu Jianwu’s hair stood on end. He instinctively began to struggle.
Jiang SE’s eyes looked as if she really wanted to kill him. The knife in her hand was made of tin foil. It glistened under the lights and reflected her face. The lights in the rehearsal room were bright, but at that moment, Hu Jianwu felt a sense of gloom.
She didn’t say a word. When she walked closer to him, her eyes widened, and she gritted her teeth. She raised her hand, and her movements were dramatic!
“Ah!” At that moment, Hu Jianwu knew that the knife in Jiang SE’s hand was just a prop and would not hurt him at all. However, her gaze was on point. The atmosphere and feeling she created made him feel as if he was in the right place. Hu Jianwu could not help but shout out.
He was so shocked that he even instinctively pushed away the two stage play actors who were holding him down and covered his face.
The tip of the ‘knife’ slid across the back of his hand, and a slight tingling sensation was magnified by Hu Jianwu in such an environment. He even felt the hair on his back stand up.
It was only when Dong Chaoping called for a stop and Jiang se stood up that Hu Jianwu felt a lingering fear. He allowed the person beside him to pull him up. He was drenched in cold sweat.
“Xiaojiang, you’re too scary.”
At that moment, anyone would have thought that Jiang se was going to kill him immediately. The numbness in her eyes was mixed with a cold glint, and the smile on her face was one of excitement. She raised the ‘knife’ in her hand and was eager to try. She did not hesitate at all when she swung it down.
Hu Jianwu lowered his hand. There was still a red mark on the back of his hand that had been cut by a paper ‘knife’. The mark was not deep, but he sucked in a cold breath and made a’ hiss ‘sound as he rubbed it with his other hand.
“If the knife you’re holding isn’t made of paper, you’d probably really stab me.”
This was much more ruthless than Liang Chunbo.
The scene of ” autumn Begonia ” had been rehearsed many times. Hu Jianwu and Liang Chunbo had naturally rehearsed this scene as well. Compared to Jiang SE’s performance, Liang Chunbo’s ability to control the scene was naturally much better. He also acted as a shrewd and cold warlord. He also had a sense of propriety when he attacked. Although Hu Jianwu would always be suppressed by his imposing manner during rehearsing and did not perform very well, in general, he was still much better than rehearsing with Jiang se.
Her ability to control the scene was not as good as Liang Chunbo’s, and her acting as a warlord was not as good as Liang Chunbo’s. However, she was better than Liang Chunbo in expressing that kind of viciousness. She dared to make a move. This kind of ruthlessness, coupled with her expression and the atmosphere that she led, left a deeper impression on people than Liang Chunbo!
At first, Hu Jianwu thought that rehearsing with Jiang se would be easier than rehearsing with Liang Chunbo. Now that he was shocked, he felt that rehearsing with Jiang se would be more difficult.
He wiped his sweat and was still looking at the marks on the back of his hand. His joking words revealed a bit of unhappiness.
‘Autumn Begonia’ was about to be released to the public, and the troupe had been stepping up their rehearsing.
Dong Chaoping was already a little upset that he had been suppressed by Liang Chunbo’s acting skills during the usual practice. If it wasn’t for the fact that the troupe couldn’t find a beautiful male actor at the moment, Dong Chaoping might have had the intention of replacing him.
Hu Jianwu usually put in a lot of effort during rehearsals in order to keep his position as the male lead. However, he was not only suppressed by Liang Chunbo, but he was also shocked by Jiang SE’s performance during the audition. Moreover, he was being watched by the people in the troupe. It was inevitable that he would be a little angry.
Jiang se put away the slightly deformed paper knife that she had just clenched tightly. She smiled and said, ”
Mrs. Hu, I’m sorry. I was too engrossed in my role just now. I’ll give Anqi a call later and ask her to bring me an ointment when she comes to pick me up. I’ll treat you to a meal next time as an apology.
Since she was so polite, Hu Jianwu naturally didn’t say anything more. In front of everyone, if he continued to argue, he would only lose his demeanor. In the end, he could only force a smile and say, ”
“There’s no need for that.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he rubbed his hands and returned to his seat. Jiang se also returned to her previous seat.
Dong Chaoping’s eyes lit up. Although Jiang se did not have many scenes in the previous scene, and her acting as a warlord was not as sophisticated as Liang Chunbo’s, Dong Chaoping could tell that she was a talent that had potential.
Just a moment ago, the spirit and explosive power she displayed were much better than many of the performers in the troupe. Moreover, she had completely let go of her restraints. With a little training, she could even become a pillar of the troupe in the future and take charge of one area on her own.
“Sese, have you ever thought about joining the troupe in the future?”
After a long while, Dong Chaoping asked jokingly,
you’re quite talented at acting in a drama, aren’t you? that scene just now made me really think that Kunwu was your enemy. Just how much hatred did that knife strike have to contain? ”
Liang Chunbo also nodded, ”
“Little Jiang’s acting is not bad.”
Jiang se drew a tissue and wiped her forehead. When she heard Liang Chunbo and Dong Chaoping’s praise, she smiled and said, ”
“I can’t be compared to you, professor Liang. I don’t have a good grasp of the role of a warlord like you.”
She wasn’t being modest. She had only been in this line of work for a short time, and in terms of age, Liang Chunbo was much older than her.
In the era when Liang Chunbo was born, he should have seen a real warlord. That was why when he acted, the domineering and ruffian aura was so natural that there was no trace of the craftsman of acting.
No matter how exaggerated the movements were in a stage play, they would not make people lose themselves in the act. On the contrary, they would be more immersed in it. Jiang se was different. The time she rehearsed for each scene was short. In addition, her gaze and movements were on point. Moreover, she had scared Hu Jianwu. His expression had only imperceptibly added to Jiang SE’s impression of her performance.
the warlord you played was ruthless, but not strong enough. It had enough hatred, but it was too much.
Liang Chunbo and Jiang se analyzed the warlord’s role. His betrayal of third Auntie and Haitang Qiu was only because he was embarrassed. He destroyed their self-esteem and face in his anger. on the surface, you should show that you’re more angry than you hate. You have to know your limits.
Jiang se took his words to heart and nodded gently.
With Liang Chunbo’s guidance, Jiang se naturally took up the role of a warlord more readily. Liang Chunbo realized that she had indeed taken his words to heart. Later, when they rehearsed the scene where the warlord ordered the death of the matchmaker, Jiang SE’s performance made Liang Chunbo rather pleased. Her tone and expression remained exaggerated, but she had hidden most of the anger and hatred that she had revealed. This undoubtedly sculpted the role of a warlord better than before.
