"Squeak."

The opened courtyard door came to an abrupt end with the sound of old age. After about ten seconds, the gap between the two doors began to expand again until it could accommodate an adult and stopped just after passing through.

Miao Chi stood on tiptoe and squeezed in through the cracks in the door. She closed the door gently. As soon as she turned around, she saw Xu Rong wearing a green gown and standing under the pomegranate tree in the yard.

Look at yourself in confusion.

Miao Chi stood there, hesitated for a moment before walking to Xu Rong and said, "Brother Xu."

As Miao Chi approached, Xu Rong heard a strong smell of smoke coming from the shop. He originally wanted to say a few more words, but when he thought that there were enough people talking about him, he would not mention it anymore.

There are not many people smoking in the group, Miao Chi happens to be one of them, and she is very addicted to smoking and can't catch a pack a day.

If they smoke, no one will despise the smell of smoke on anyone. However, every time Miao Chi sat in the house, the female teacher around him would immediately have a wrong expression.

For this reason, Miao Chi has been talked about a lot.

Xu Rong also mentioned it once before, asking him to try to get less, but now it seems that the effect is not very good.

Miao Chi was afraid that Xu Rong would ask him what he was going out for, so he pointed to the dark yellow mask with a smiling face in his hand and asked, "Brother, what is this?"

Xu Rong did not answer him, but put the mask on his face, turned his head, and stared at him straight.

Miao Chi felt a little relieved. After having eaten just now, he felt so uncomfortable that he ran to the alley and pumped two.

The expression on the mask was a smile, but when stared at that smile, slowly, Miao Chi began to feel a little panicked, and his expression became unnatural: "Brother Xu, what are you doing? You can't prepare.

Let’s use this kid who teases Sister Yuan?”

As the preparations progressed, Xu Rong usually said less and less. In recent days, he had hardly seen Xu Rong laughing a lot except when he was holding Yuan Quan's child.

Just like the mask he was wearing at this time, he always smiled so much, which made people feel relieved, because he could arrange the food, clothing, housing and transportation of more than 20 people. Those who love to drink tea have tea.

, I love coffee, can also be found at home. When I met someone at home in the middle of the night, I had a headache and fever, Xu Rong would immediately get up and drive to the hospital.

Sometimes, he also feels that everything Xu Rong does is like the mask on his face. Is there really someone who does not seek rewards?

He had suspected it, but never revealed any of it. The cigarette he smoked now was the one Xu Rong went out to help him with it the day before yesterday. It costs 120 yuan per pack, and ten pieces per pack. It is the first time he has smoked for so many years.

It's so expensive to draw.

At that time, Xu Rong told him: I asked, people said that the smell of cigarettes was a little smaller and it was not that harmful to the body.

In the past two days, Miao Chi did find that the smoke smell on his body was less, because when he was reading the script, the teachers sitting next to him were no longer far away from him like before.

It was not because he changed the cigarette, but because he really felt sorry for smoking. According to his past habits, he could smoke three packs of cigarettes Xu Rong bought for him a day, which is only 360 yuan.

His salary is not enough to even make money for cigarettes.

Miao Chi knew that Xu Rong was doing it for his own good, so he felt a little embarrassed about the behavior of going out to smoke just now.

Xu Rong shook his head, reached out his hand and patted his chest, but still did not make any sound.

Miao Chi looked away, no longer looking at the mask that made him feel bleak, and asked, "You played it yourself?"

Xu Rong lit his head three times.

Forced to suppress the discomfort in his heart, Miao Chi took back his eyes and asked, "Why don't you speak? Is your throat uncomfortable?"

Xu Rong shook his head again, and under Miao Chi's confusion gaze, he took off the utensil, pinched it in his hand, and looked at it carefully.

Master Zhu Xu said that performance thinking should not be bound by the system.

This is what he has been doing recently. Based on the Sri Lanka system, he tried to develop vocalization and training methods that are more suitable for Chinese monosyllable characters.

In the sound and stage, probably because he has learned from Tong Zixuan, lines have always been his strength and the most profound part of his understanding in his performance.

In the future, new innovations and attempts may be made in other aspects and even in comprehensive presentation.

The mask in his hand was a new training method he had learned about in the past, but had not tried.

Neutral mask.

A performance method that is more popular in Europe and the United States today and is considered very "advanced" in China.

The specific performance form is that the actor wears a mask and performs a stage performance of a complete story plot without any lines or with only a very small number of lines.

A stage presentation form that has very high requirements for physical expression ability.

Because the actors almost completely gave up their expressions, eyes, and lines, and performed only through the presentation of their body, expressing the content they want to express and present the characters' joys, anger, sorrows, and happiness, naturally, the difficulty will be to a big step.

From Miao Chi’s feedback just now, he felt the limitations.

Although he did not understand the specific training content of this performance method, he gave him an intuitive feeling that the neutral mask and silent practice of the gaopa were particularly similar, but it was more extreme.

But the difference is that the mask is like a "mirror" to him. In the process of presenting various emotions, he is like "seeing" what he is doing.

When he put on the mask just now, he knew that the mask was smiling and his physical behavior was also expressing "gentle", but he did not smile on his own face, just like Juexin was facing everyone at home.

Mr. Ba Jin said that his elder brother was always gentle and always wanted to revitalize the family, and the character Juexin was based on his elder brother.

And because of this mask, he suddenly felt that the long monologue on the day he and Ruijue got married could actually be deleted.

Just like when Mr. Lan Tianye and Master Zhu Xu were reading the script, they deleted a line from Mingfeng who talked about another topic before he came on stage.

Since the actor's inner activities can be expressed through physical expression, there is no need to use a monologue of hundreds or thousands of words to present the characters' inner world.

Because during the monologue, for the audience watching the performance, the plot on the stage fell into a state of stagnation.

He was going to talk to Yuan Quan. He put the mask in Miao Chi's hand and said, "It's a very interesting way of performance and training. You can learn about it when you're fine."

Miao Chi looked at Xu Rong with his head slightly lowered his head and walked towards the backyard. Then he looked at the mask in his hand. He felt a little confused.

What is the performance method?

What training method?

What should I know?

In the backyard, the door of Yuan Quan's room was open. Before entering the room, Xu Rong heard the child's crying.

When he arrived at the door, Yuan Quan held the child in one hand and the kettle in the other, and went to the front yard to collect water.

Xu Rong took it very naturally and said, "You can coax the child first."

Yuan Quan's joining the group made him understand the hardships of being a parent.

Not to mention that he can't wake up during the day, can't sleep at night, he gets fever and diarrhea every few days, and he always wakes up in the middle of the night, and Yuan Quan and him are always listless during the day.

"Don't cry, Uncle Xu has already gone to get water and can drink milk soon."

Xu Rong received hot water, glanced at Yuan Quan who was holding the child and coaxing him softly, poured water and brewed milk very familiarly.

After rushing, he did not hand the bottle to Yuan Quan immediately, but reached out to feel the temperature, shook it gently for a while, and then handed it over.

"Gudu Gudu Gudu."

As the pacifier was handed to his mouth, the little guy immediately stopped crying and sucked without any breath.

When the little guy had enough food and drink, he stretched out his arm at him.

Xu Rong took the child over and said, "You can't lift him up now. You have just eaten your fill. If you lift him up, you can't help spit out the milk you've been drinking hard. This milk powder is not cheap. I'll give you a meal for you if you vomit.

Dad feels sorry.”

"Can she understand what you said to the child?"

Xu Rong smiled and said, "I feel she should be able to understand. By the way, let me tell you something. Why not delete the monologue of the scene when we got married?"

"It's just through actions, and I always feel that it's a bit inappropriate for both of us to keep talking to ourselves."

After hearing his proposal, Yuan Quan stopped cleaning up the bottles and jars for a moment, thinking about the feasibility of his proposal.

Xu Rong was quite diligent. When the child cried, he was anxious to make milk powder. However, after he finished rinsing, he put something on the table. At first, she felt that it was not so familiar, so she didn't say it. Later, she became familiar. After saying it a few times, she found that

If it doesn't work, I won't say it anymore, but I just let him hold the child and clean it up by himself every time.

She turned her head and said, "The emotions of both people have obvious changes. Is it okay to act simply?"

"I have read some neutral mask training content these two days. If they follow their theory, it will be feasible."

"Look back and you've finished your research and tell me. I know a little, but I haven't had time to study. Now that I have children, I can't get a half-minute free time."

"OK."

"I always feel that you treat Yuan Yu very differently recently." Yuan Quan saw Xu Rong holding the child and was about to go to the yard, and followed him with the bottle. She wanted to rinse it.

When Xu Rong heard Yuan Quan's words, she paused a little. She seemed to be confused, but her tone was mixed with inexplicable affirmation.

After Xu Rong said "um" and stopped talking.

When Yuan Quan passed by him, he saw him and his daughter staring at each other for a while and then laughed and asked with a smile: "Have anyone ever told you that it is actually difficult for you to get close to?"

"No."

Yuan Quan chuckled and stopped talking because she felt that the two were to some extent the same type of people.

The two of them did not make a decision immediately and rashly deleted a line. It was very risky. Once they failed, the character image would immediately flatten.

People's Art Theatre Rehearsal Hall.

Ren Ming looked at the rehearsal and thought of evacuating people again.

The reason why he hesitated until now was that he had not made up his mind because he was afraid of damaging Song Yi's enthusiasm.
