When the two old friends met, they exchanged a few pleasantries first, before Hou Xiling pointed at Jiang Se:

"This one is Jiang Se, whom I told you before. The little girl is very smart, and she is going to shoot "The Grand Event in Peking". You are a senior, and the acting industry is my teacher. Please take care and give me some pointers." .”

He should have told Chang Yuhu about this beforehand, and after hearing what he said, Chang Yuhu's eyes fell on Jiang Se.

She dyed her hair black, with a dignified demeanor, perhaps because she has been in the film industry for many years, and her demeanor is graceful.

With Hou Xiling's introduction, she reached out and shook hands with Jiang Se, and asked curiously:

"I heard from Lao Hou that you are also a student of the No. 1 Academy. After graduating from here, what is not easy to do in the future? Why do you suddenly want to enter this line of work?"

Hou Xiling first greeted the two of them into the courtyard. Jiang Se thought for a while and replied:

"I think this line of work is interesting."

"Oh?" Chang Yuhu and Hou Xiling looked at each other, and then asked:

"What's the point?"

"If a person's life is a practice, then acting in different movies and interpreting different lives is always very interesting."

Her words made Chang Yuhu laugh, and responded:

"I'm going back to the Imperial Theater in the afternoon to guide the rehearsal, and the little girl can come with me."

Upon hearing this, Hou Xiling asked:

"Return on a Snowy Night?"

Chang Yuhu nodded, "If the little girl is not timid, she can practice on stage, which will be good for you."

After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Jiang Se:

"The last time "Returning on a Snowy Night" was performed at the Grand Theater was more than ten years ago. I guess you haven't seen it."

Jiang Se was just a freshman, and when "Returning on a Snowy Night" was released, she was still young, not long after she was born.

Before she was reborn, Jiang Se had never watched this drama, but she checked the deeds of Chang Yuhu on the Internet, so she knew that more than ten years ago, she had played the role of Yu Hu, the heroine in "Returning on a Snowy Night". Spring, which caused a sensation at the time.

"This time, the people in the theater intend to put this "Returning on a Snowy Night" on the stage again. Dong Chaoping in the theater was worried that several drama actors would not perform well, so he asked me to go back and give pointers. It was a coincidence, and you also played Call."

Hou Xiling replied: "It's really a coincidence. When this work was staged that year, there were four performances in a row, and there were no empty seats in the Grand Theater. Newspapers and magazines even reported it."

Jiang Se listened quietly to the conversation between the two. During the dinner, Chang Yuhu looked at her from time to time, and saw that she was not in a hurry to show off, but intended to show herself, and she occasionally replied politely but not rigidly. On the contrary, her attitude towards Jiang Se was much closer.

Although Hou Xiling said to treat guests, when Jiang Se was about to pay the bill after the meal, he was told that Hou Xiling had already paid the money at the beginning of ordering the meal.

Hou Xiling was originally interested and wanted to go to the Grand Theater to watch the rehearsal together, but he was called away by a phone call.

Jiang Se followed Chang Yuhu all the way into the Grand Theater. She used to come here to listen to music concerts and watched dramas, but it was the first time she came here outside of performances.

As soon as Chang Yuhu came in, there were already staff members waiting for her. As soon as they saw her leading someone over, the people in the theater gave Jiang Se a curious look before introducing the situation in the troupe to Chang Yuhu. Some embarrassment:

"It's almost time for the performance. This is the second time this work has been put on stage. With your jewels in front of you, it is inevitable that the seniors who have seen it will make comparisons when they watch it again. So Brother Dong means, please come back and give pointers." Juniors."

In the rehearsal hall, the actors who starred in "Returning on a Snowy Night" had already arrived. As soon as Chang Yuhu came in, someone first moved a chair and asked her to sit down under the stage. Jiang Se stood beside her On the side, people in the rehearsal hall clapped their hands and called the actors inside to perform first, so that Chang Yuhu could pick out the deficiencies.

"Returning on a Snowy Night" originally came from a poem in the Tang Dynasty. It was written by the famous dramatist Mr. Wu based on the poetic mood.

When the music started, the people on the stage quickly found their positions.

The actors on the stage were performing hard, and Chang Yuhu was smiling and staring at the stage, while talking to Jiang Se:

"Actually, when they came back to me, they wanted a Bodhisattva to guard them." She sighed, "Old Hou asked me to teach you, but I don't know anything about acting. I have nothing to teach you. It's not that I want to hide something , just in the hearts of a thousand people, there are a thousand Hamlets."

She took the tea prepared by the people in the theater and took a sip:

"You are a smart child. You should know that if it is as Lao Hou said, I will teach you my every move, my words, and my demeanor during the performance, so that you can strictly abide by it. You're playing me, so it won't be a big deal."

Jiang Se was thoughtful when he heard this.

"A master of acting once said that an actor should be an artist, not a craftsman. The difference between the two lies in whether there is creativity. Artisans can only imitate and follow suit, without the ability to innovate. The characters don’t have their own comprehension, they can’t add their own things, so they can never go further.”

The music on the stage is beautiful, and the Sanyu pot off the stage has two purposes:

"Actors shape the characters, but the characters constrain the actors. After the characters in the plot are unfolded, the actors can only be loyal to the characters' emotions and actions, and put themselves into it." When she said this, she looked at Jiang Se meaningfully. at a glance:

"It's just that many people are often emotionally invested too deeply, and often find it difficult to extricate themselves, forming ideological baggage."

So this is also a contradiction. Good actors interpret many roles, but at the same time it is difficult to get out of the role. The pressure is formed over time, and the suffering is not enough for outsiders.

"If you want to enter this line of work, you must learn to regulate yourself. You first watch them perform once, and later you also play one of the roles on stage. Let me see where you are most deficient, correct it, and try a few more times. Withstand the pressure, you find the feeling, acting will not be difficult."

After she finished speaking, she beckoned the people from the theater to come over, whispered a few words in her ear, the theater staff nodded frequently, turned and left.

When he came back, he had already taken two scripts and handed them over to Chang Yuhu.

Chang Yuhu signaled Jiang Se to read the plot in the script first, and leaned on the chair to concentrate on watching, without speaking.

The script is "Returning on a Snowy Night" which is being rehearsed on the stage. It tells the story of the Peking Opera actor Liansheng who fell in love with the court president Su Hongji's fourth concubine Yuchun, but was separated in the end.

Because Chang Yuhu asked her to perform on stage later, she didn't specify which role to play for Jiang Se, which made Jiang Se feel a little bit of pressure, but at the same time, she was a little eager to try. While distractedly watching the performances of the people on the stage and watching their movements, at the same time, I forcibly memorized the content of the script in my heart.
