Chapter 356 Audience (Compensation and Extra Update)

"Wrong line!"

Mu Nan interrupted the rehearsal and looked at Yu Wanwan in front of him in surprise.

She made two mistakes today. This is definitely not the level she should be at.

"Sorry, I forgot the lyrics..." Yu Wanwan apologized. Today's rehearsal progress was delayed by her alone. This really shouldn't be the case.

Drama is different from other film and television works. It is a performing art that belongs to the stage. The lines and movements are very sophisticated and are the top priority during the performance.

If you forget the words in a play, you can stop and re-enact it, but a play is performed in real time on a stage. With so many audiences watching, once a line is wrong, the whole section will collapse and it will be difficult to repair.

"If you don't concentrate during rehearsals, will you be able to concentrate when you go on stage?" Mu Nan frowned. It wasn't that she insisted on criticizing Yu Wanwan, but that she knew Yu Wanwan shouldn't be at this level.

Failure to use your full strength is the worst mistake you should make.

"It's okay, it's okay. Forgetting words and making mistakes are two big problems for a drama actor. Wan Wan has only been exposed to drama for a few days, so it's normal to make mistakes."

Chi Yun, the actress who played the role of the second princess, hurriedly smoothed things over. Mu Nan was good at everything, but she was very serious about her performance and had higher requirements for the actors who performed with her.

What they are rehearsing is a historical drama "Qi Emperor", which tells the story of the old emperor and three princesses. After the elderly Qi Emperor Zhu Huai abdicated, he was driven to the hunting ground by the eldest princess and the second princess and was demoted. The little princess who was a commoner rebelled to save her father, but was suppressed and killed. In the end, King Qi sadly died beside her...

Yu Wanwan plays the younger daughter Zhu Tingyu, an upright and kind-hearted important character. If she does not perform well, it will obviously be difficult for this drama to succeed.

"Yes, Wanwan performed very well in the past few days. Are you feeling unwell today?" Zeng Qing, a middle-aged actor who plays King Qi, also started to help lighten the atmosphere.

"I'm fine."

To be honest, Yu Wanwan is a little uneasy today...

Ever since she knew that Pu Tong had settled her transfer to another school, she felt an unspeakable sense of loss in her heart.

Seven days, one script, how much effort does it take to do this?

She also read the documents in the group, which were four to five hundred pages and three to four hundred thousand words... When she thought of Pu Tong working so hard for her, she was moved but also blamed herself.

He had once again caused trouble for him. If it wasn't his fault, Pu Tong would definitely have had a pretty relaxing summer vacation.

After typing so much on the computer, I don’t know if his eyes will feel uncomfortable... He has done so much for himself, but what about himself?

But she was only selfishly doing what she wanted to do, and accepting Pu Tong's contribution to her with peace of mind.

In Yu Wanwan's thoughts, love is a two-way street. She likes the feeling of being loved, but she doesn't want to be someone who only asks for love...

She didn't know what was wrong with her. Every time she saw the empty auditorium, she would unconsciously think of Pu Tong and wonder what he was doing now and whether he was thinking about herself...

Yu Wanwan knew it was wrong to have such thoughts during rehearsal, but she just couldn't help but think about it.

During non-performance hours during holidays, the theater will be closed for retreat. In fact, there are only a few of them in the huge venue.

Maybe it was this loneliness that made her miss that guy, or maybe it was some other reason, but she just thought about it.

But what can I do about him?

Wasn't he the one who chose to come to Kyoto in the first place? It was her selfish choice of her dream that led to the current situation!

"Let's rest for a while. Wanwan needs to adjust his condition." Mu Nan sighed. She could also see that Yu Wanwan was not in the right state, but the heart disease was difficult to cure.

Yu Wanwan walked off the stage mechanically, picked up her water glass and took a sip. She glanced at her phone before she noticed the new message from Pu Tong.

Pu Tong: [How was the rehearsal? Are you tired? ]

For a moment, she really wanted to tell him that she missed him very much, but when the words came to her lips, Yu Wanwan didn't know how to speak.

All of this was her choice. Wasn't it her own fault? Why should she put on a pitiful posture and cry?

She took another sip of water and gave up on speaking her mind.

For the first time, Yu Wanwan understood the meaning of reporting good news but not bad news... If he told Pu Tong about his condition, he would definitely be worried. Why should he be like this?

He was worried about himself in the first place. If he told him about his negative emotions again, he would be even more uneasy.

Yu Wanwan: [I’m not tired, I’ve made great progress today. ]

She gritted her teeth, not wanting to bring her negative emotions to the other party. Even though they were thousands of miles apart, she hoped that Pu Tong could have a happy holiday.

"Okay, let's continue rehearsing, the official performance will be in a few days!" Munan clapped her hands, and the rehearsals started again under her organization.

The National Theater is a professional establishment, and Yu Wanwan is of course not a formal student. At most, she came to audit during the summer vacation.

But even so, senior Bai Qingwen still gave her a chance to perform on stage, and Mu Nan also took good care of her.

At this time, he should cheer up and concentrate on performing, so as to live up to their trust and expectations...

Yu Wanwan cheered himself up, tightened the cup and went back to the stage to rehearse.

In the first scene of the play, the old and foolish Emperor Qi has no children, so he wants to hear the praises of the three princesses about his emperor's great achievements to determine the right to inherit the throne.

The eldest and second princesses had long coveted the throne, and they used classics to praise the Emperor of Qi as the greatest emperor of all time. However, the youngest princess was straightforward in exposing his atrocities as a tyrant, so she was demoted to a commoner, which led to the following story.

"Father is loyal, kind, forgiving, lenient to the people, appointing the virtuous and capable, wise in politics, and good at war. He is truly a blessing to the people and a blessing to the country!"

After the second princess Zhu Tingyi finished her beautiful words, the stage was taken over by Yu Wanwan, who played the third daughter.

This scene was already very difficult. Unlike the two sisters who flattered and had ulterior motives, the third princess did not hide the fact that her father was a tyrant... But in the process, she always spoke as a daughter facing her father.

This loyalty as a minister and filial piety as a child are mixed together. It is not easy to act out the inner thoughts of such a contradictory and complex character.

"Father, you can't tell right from wrong, you don't know how to reward and punish, you confuse loyalty with treachery, you persecute loyal people, you kill innocent people, the whole court is complaining, why don't you go and ask yourself?" Yu Wanwan was prepared, so she took it on naturally.

The other three nodded slightly, and the girl seemed to be back in shape.

"How dare you!" The Emperor of Qi was so angry that he couldn't stand steadily, and he stumbled and fell to the ground, "The Great Qi has been stable and peaceful for more than 20 years in my hands..."

"Father!"

Yu Wanwan interrupted him immediately and turned to the stage.

The next paragraph was the monologue of the third princess facing the audience, and began to list the major crimes of the King of Qi word by word.

In the performance of the drama, there are often unique performances facing the audience and the camera. This form of performance is very tense and makes it easier for the audience to immerse themselves in the story.

Yu Wanwan faced the empty auditorium, and her faith, which had just been strengthened, was lost again...

When she tried not to think about many things, these things would flood into her mind in an instant. At this moment, the defense line she had built collapsed, and she was completely stunned.

She opened her lips slightly, but could not utter a word.

Is it that I still can't do it well...

Is it punished because of being too selfish? It must be.

Yu Wanwan stayed where she was, and she felt that this moment was extremely long. The three people behind her did not interrupt her, which made her even more confused.

She made so many mistakes, and they were all such basic mistakes. She really didn't have the face to turn around and face them.

Maybe she no longer has the talent for acting, maybe she shouldn't have come, maybe it's the best choice for her to stay with Pu Tong...

At least, she won't miss him.

Yu Wanwan smiled bitterly, and for the first time she was a little collapsed. She didn't dare to imagine what it would be like if there were audiences present.

If that were the case, her failed performance would probably be forever engraved on the pillar of shame.

She looked up absentmindedly, but suddenly she saw an audience member in the audience... In the empty audience, the boy she missed was sitting there quietly, waving at her.

Was it a dream?

Yu Wanwan bit her tongue, it was a little painful, but also a little sweet. How could biting the tongue be sweet? It must be a dream.

However, it was really sweet.

If it was a dream, she hoped that she would never wake up from this dream.

"The emperor is incompetent, the eunuchs are powerless and misleading the country, the talented are envied, corruption is rampant, and the people are living in misery..." She stared at Pu Tong in the audience and recited the lines that she had carefully prepared and memorized countless times.

At the moment when her monologue ended, applause broke out in the audience, the only applause, the applause that belonged to her alone.

On this day, she was the frustrated little princess on the stage, and he was the prince in her audience.

Pu Tong looked up at the tearful guy on the stage, feeling a lot of emotion.

I've already said it's a surprise.

I owe a chapter, so I stayed up late to make it up.

This play is actually based on Shakespeare's "King Lear", and the characters and plot are purely made up.

It was already five in the morning when I finished coding and revising it. Oh my god.
