Entertaining Children

Although Xiao Yao has never read a formal script, no matter in his previous life or in this life, he still can't understand it. Xiao Yao reads books very quickly, and he is not slow to read the script. In ten minutes, Xiao Yao finished the script.

The script is called "The End of Happiness". It has the same name as a love movie starring Tom Hanks that Xiao Yao watched in his previous life. The biographical drama of "The Door" is more similar.

It mainly talks about a single father raising his son independently, facing the pressure of a difficult life and the problem of how to educate the child. The father who wholeheartedly wants his son to 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 suffer huge psychological suffering, but he has to forcibly endure to cultivate the child's optimism The spirit of facing difficulties.

Whenever the father encounters setbacks and blows, the son is very sensible to encourage his father and become his strong spiritual backing. The father and son supported each other, walked through hardships, and finally ushered in the hope of a great turning point in life.

"You should have asked 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 role in the whole play, 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? Not to mention that I hadn't written the script at that time, even if I wrote it, I wouldn't dare to ask you to act it." Sun Zhihao laughed. This little guy really understands it. Talking to him already feels like talking to an adult. Thinking about it, it's really scary.

Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying were suspicious of their conversation.

"Let me take a look." Ye Jiaying directly took the script from Xiao Yao's hand and read it, and Xiao Siqi, who looked curious, also moved his head to follow along.

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

More than a year ago, Ye Jiaying hadn't appeared yet, and Xiao Siqi was also a single parent with his son Xiao Yao, and the father and son also relied on and supported each other. Although the material life is so much better than the father and son in the script, but spiritually, they have the same place.

"I learned the Steiner system, and I taught the Steiner system," Sun Zhihao began to explain, but was interrupted by Xiao Yao at the beginning.

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

Seeing Xiao Yao's puzzled face, Sun Zhihao was inexplicably relieved in his heart. It turned out that this evildoer didn't know everything.

After clearing up his mood, Sun Zhihao explained to Xiao Yao: "The Steiner system is one of the three major systems of theater performance, and the other two are the Brecht system and the Mei Lanfang system. I’ll tell you so much. If you’re interested, when you grow up, you can take the acting department of our film academy or other drama schools, and then you can study and understand it systematically.”

"I'm just going to tell you briefly that the school of our Steiner system is also called the method school. It is necessary for the actors to fully integrate into the role, and the actor and the role are fused into one person, and the role can be played well. At that time, It can be said that it is not acting, but that 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 role, I will not be able to help you get out of the role. In this case, if one If you don't handle it well, it's possible for people to go crazy. Don't say that your grandfather and your father will fight for me, and I can't forgive myself."

"Acting will become a lunatic? Being an actor is also a risky thing." Xiao Yao exclaimed.

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

"No, I'm more interested in acting." Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head, then nodded and said: "I agree to act in this play.

"

"Bayi, have you thought it through?" Ye Jiaying interrupted after reading the script.

"Don't worry, this is only a very small number of extreme cases." Sun Zhihao helped and said with relief, "I'm still watching. I have been a teacher for more than ten years, and I have directed many plays. Have you seen my students? Or did the actors in my play really have a situation where they couldn’t get out of the role? I won’t make promises if I don’t have the confidence to do it. That’s why I said that if it was more than a year ago, I wouldn’t find eight Come and play this role. Now, I am confident that Bayi will not have that extreme situation.”

"Since you promised and Bayi also agreed, we have no objection." Xiao Siqi said, "Is there anything else we need to do? What is the schedule for rehearsals and performances? Do you want us to come forward to coordinate with the school to ask for leave? "

"This is of course necessary." Sun Zhihao nodded, "But before I say this, I want to tell you about the reward first. We have a good relationship, 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, "Ba Yi's current income from labor is all at his own disposal. In the past, he entrusted my manager, Sister Xu, to negotiate with his income from songwriting. , and then the money goes directly into his own account. But Sister Xu is a professional singer manager, and she is not familiar with the market in the entertainment industry, so she can't help much. We all believe in your character, what about you, you and Just talk on August 1."

"Then why don't you call Jiaying's manager?" Sun Zhihao suggested.

"No need," Xiao Yao said, "I don't want any reward, just treat it as my tuition fee for you."

"It's not okay." Sun Zhihao shook his head repeatedly, looked at Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying and said.

"Anyway, I have no objection." Xiao Siqi spread his hands, and added: "Actually, Bayi already has a lot of money in his own small coffers, so it's really not bad for your salary. I support Bayi."

"Then how about this? Aren't you going to go out for your honeymoon tomorrow? Then let Bayi live in my house starting tomorrow. I will cover all his food, lodging and transportation until you come back. How about it?" Seeing Xiao Siqi's attitude, Sun Zhihao made another suggestion.

"It's still the same sentence, I have no objection, it mainly depends on Bayi himself." Xiao Siqi laughed.

"Do you have a piano at home?" Xiao Yao asked Sun Zhihao.

"Yes, Duo'er is also learning the piano." Sun Zhihao said with a smile.

"That's fine, I'll go." Xiao Yao nodded.

After the matter is settled, the next step is the scheduling of rehearsals and performances. Originally, Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao planned to ask for two months' leave, but according to Sun Zhihao's intention, they only need to take half a month's leave.

According to Sun Zhihao's arrangement, in the first half month, he will mainly "walk the show" and conceive how to express the content of the script on the stage. During this period, he needs to discuss the sound and light effects and scenery props with the lighting, sound, and choreography, and decide how to adjust the scene. The workload at this stage is relatively heavy, and there are about three hours of work in the morning and afternoon. At the same time, the guidance on Xiao Yao's acting skills will also be given at night during this period.

If everything goes well, the formal rehearsal stage will start in half a month. The real rehearsal time is two hours every night, starting at seven o'clock and ending at nine o'clock, so there is no need for Xiao Yao to ask for leave. It's just that Xiao Yao can't live on campus for a month, and he needs to negotiate with the school. As for the performances, they are all arranged on weekends, every Friday and Saturday at 7:30 in the evening, which will not have any impact on Xiao Yao's schooling.

The three members 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 begins. Xiao Siqi and Sun Zhihao will take Xiao Yao to school to ask for leave, and then set off for honeymoon abroad with Ye Jiaying, while Xiao Yao will follow Sun Zhihao for a one-month drama rehearsal and a one-and-a-half month drama performance.

For the school, it is not so easy for a student to ask for 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 to ask for leave in person. The school didn't make it too difficult. After encouraging him not to relax and study during the leave, the school agreed to Xiao Yao's leave. As for the problem of living in school in the second half of the month, it is even less of a problem.

The school stipulates that all first-year freshmen 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 living on campus. Now Xiao Yao is already a second-grade student. Previously, because of Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying had to prepare for the wedding, and both of them were busy, so they lived on campus all the time. Now, taking this opportunity, Xiao Yao, who had lost the novelty of living on campus, simply changed from living on campus to day-studying.

The school was settled, Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying boarded the plane to Europe to start their honeymoon trip, Xiao Yao took his luggage and lived in Sun Zhihao's house.

Sun Zhihao's home environment is also very good. The small two-story villa is about the same size as the 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 house 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 Sun Zhihao has multiple identities such as a university teacher, director, screenwriter, producer, etc. in addition to his identity as an actor, so it is normal to have a big study.

The age difference between Sun Zhihao's wife Hu Xuena and Sun Zhihao is only four years, but she was Sun Zhihao's first student when he was a teaching assistant. Also a graduate of the Film Academy, Hu Xuena was once a smash hit actress and one of the famous "Four Little Actresses" back then. It's just that after marrying Sun Zhihao, Hu Xuena has gradually faded out of the show business circle, and has become a good wife and mother at home with peace of mind.

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

"Hello, Aunt Hu." Xiao Yao greeted obediently. The five families in the third season of "Where Are We Going, Dad" maintained at least one family gathering every year, but the whole family participated. Xiao Yao and Hu Xuena have met several times, and they are no strangers.

"Where's Duoer?" Xiao Yao asked his little friend when he entered the door.

"Duo'er has gone to school, she's not like you who took half a month's leave." Sun Zhihao laughed.

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