Perhaps Lu Zhen’s interpretation of “Madam Sharon” had deeply touched Gu Nieng. Gu Meng felt that Lu Zhen was different from those people in the entertainment industry who chased after fame and profit.
Lu Zhen thanked Gu Meng for her reminder. Then, the four of them began to prepare for rehearsal.
The staff looked a little puzzled by the conversation that had just ended. They did not know what Lu Zhen’s team had communicated. While the other teams were seizing the time to study the script, memorize the lines, and adapt the plot, Lu Zhen’s team’s half-hour interaction seemed to be a waste of time.
But in fact, this exchange was very necessary in Lu Zhen’s opinion.
Through intragroup communication and information-sharing, Yi Fan and
Beth, who had never seen the film, understood the connotation of the work. This allowed them to better understand the relationship between the script and the characters and thus get into their roles more quickly.
The short exchange also allowed the members of the team to get to know each other better. They were no longer complete strangers. Lu Zhen was very happy to see that after Yi Fan and Beth read the script for a while, they walked towards Gu Meng. The three of them began to communicate with each other. As an experienced actor in the team, Gu Meng taught the two young people the experience and skills of acting with a sense of responsibility.
After Gu Meng finished explaining, Yi Fan grabbed the opportunity to memorize the lines he had yet to memorize. He looked at Lu Zhen and said worriedly, “Lu Zhen’s lines are actually five pages long. Oh my god, can she remember them in such a short time?”
Gu Meng smiled. “Memorizing lines is just the basic knowledge of a professional actor. She won’t have any problems. The three of us should prepare well and not disturb her.”
Yi Fan and Beth nodded obediently.
On the other side, Lu Zhen quickly memorized the lines on the paper, then took out a red pen and drew on the script.
She had a large portion of acting alone. Lu Zhen simplified these scenes and added some details.
Her changes did not affect the performance of the other three, but only made the original film more suitable for stage performance. At the same time, it allowed the audience to better understand the plot and theme through her performance in a short period of time.
Just as Lu Zhen was changing the script, the door of the rehearsal room was pushed open. Bai Ge walked in with a beer belly and asked, “How’s the preparation?”
Beth and Yi Fan immediately stood up. Facing a big director like Bai Ge, the two of them were extremely nervous. They were as reserved as primary school students facing a teacher on their first day of school.
Lu Zhen held the script and smiled. “We’re still familiarizing ourselves with the script. Director Bai, do you have any suggestions for us?”
Lu Zhen thought that since she was a student of Bai Ge Battle Team, she should naturally enjoy some benefits.
If she could get some pointers for her teammates from Bai Ge, it would definitely be very helpful to them.
Bai Ge took a stool and sat down. He looked at Gu Meng, Beth, and Yi Fan. “Alright, then I’ll see how you perform first. Don’t be nervous. This is a rehearsal. Don’t be afraid of exposing the problem. Act boldly.”
Then, Bai Ge turned to Lu Zhen and said, “Go find Yang Na.”
Lu Zhen was stunned. She did not expect Bai Ge to not let her rehearse with Gu Meng and the other two.
Why did he ask her to look for Yang Na? Yang Na should be nervously preparing for the upcoming show. It wouldn’t be good for her to disturb Yang Na, right?
Seeing that Lu Zhen was a little hesitant, Bai Ge smiled and said, “She chose this role like you. She must be depressed that she didn’t succeed. Go comfort her and have a casual chat.’
After Bai Ge finished speaking, the confusion in Lu Zhen’s eyes gradually dissipated. She knew what Bai Ge meant. Bai Ge must have seen that Yang Na had a deep understanding of the role of Madam Sharon, so he wanted Lu Zhen to chat with Yang Na so that she could play this role better.
Lu Zhen also vaguely felt that Bai Ge seemed to want her relationship with
Yang Na to improve. Could it be that in the following competition, she and
Yang Na might work together. so Bai Ge was making preparations in advance?
Lu Zhen blinked her eyes and picked up her script. “Alright, I’ll leave first.”
After leaving the rehearsal room of “Madam Sharon”, Lu Zhen quickly found Yang Na. Yang Na’s team was also nervously preparing. However, Yang Na did not look too nervous among these people, probably because this role was still very easy for her to handle.
Seeing Lu Zhen walk into the rehearsal room, Yang Na was stunned for a few seconds.. Then, she took the initiative to ask, “What’s wrong?”
