Chapter 74 Secret that cannot be told in Act Nine

Act 9: Secrets That Cannot Be Told 8

Just two hours from the opening, Tan Yiming’s car finally burst out of the rain and into the theater’s parking lot.

The staff waiting here immediately greeted them with their umbrellas, their faces full of happiness for the rest of the disaster: “Xiaoxiang, you finally arrived!”

“Sorry, the plane was delayed too long, and it was raining so heavily that the road was too congested.” Xiang Gu followed the staff, trotting all the way, and rushed into the theater.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, just come!” A young staff patted his chest. “You were pulled over by us for help.”

Walking towards Guai, he asked, “Are the other actors here?”

“It’s early! Everyone is warming up, and Sister Yan said she wanted to touch you with time.”

“Okay.” Nod to Guess, “then ask her to come to the dressing room. I’ll touch her while applying makeup.”

Two hours sounds like a long time, but for two stage actors who have never collaborated, this time is simply not enough for them to rehearse.

After all, the actors are not real Lego blocks. Everyone has their own performance style. There is even a little tacit understanding between each group of partners. Xiang Guai was kicked off the swan and was very worried about any omissions on the stage.

Staff led Xiang Gu to the backstage, took the work permit on his chest and shook it in front of the security guard.

“Wait!” The security guard looked at staff. “What about his work permit?”

Staff explained: “This is our hero! His face is the best work permit.”

Due to the recent accident, the security in these days is extremely strict. The company specially sent several security guards with big waists and rounds to guard all entrances and exits, and forbid all unknown personnel to approach.

“I’m not talking about him,” said the security guard in a sullen voice. “He looks so good and has a temperament. At first glance he is an actor.-I mean the latter.”

… the back?

Looking back to Guess, it was found that the people stopped by the security guard actually talked with them all the way into the background.

Xiang Guman was thinking about work, and forgot to say goodbye to the man when he got out of the car. Tan Yiming didn’t bother him, and followed him quietly like a shadow, but he didn’t expect to be stopped by the security guard who was sharp-eyed.

The blocked out chattered and laughed, thinking: “In the eyes of Brother Baoan, he is not good-looking and has no temperament. At first glance, he is idle and waiting for others?”

“This is my friend,” said Xiang Guai busy. “He drove me from the airport for several hours. Will he be able to wait for me in the background?”

The security guard shook his head unselfishly: “Sorry, the regulations are the regulations. The company said that everyone except the actors and employees with work permits cannot enter the background, even employees’ relatives and friends.”

“that……”

Tan Yiming took the initiative to round the field: “It doesn’t matter.” He smiled, “I can send you safely. I’ll go first, and I’ll pick you up later.”

That being said, where can he actually go? It was raining so much outside and there was traffic jam everywhere, he could only go back to the parking lot to spend hours alone.

He turned to leave, but the staff beside him stopped him.

“It’s such a heavy rain outside, don’t toss back and forth!” The staff said warmly, “I will apply for an employee ticket from the leader later, you can stay and watch the show.”

Xiangming and Tan Yiming were all stunned.

The two eyes collided, and they quickly moved away from each other.

Whispered to Guai: “This is not good …”

“It’s okay.” Staff shrugged. “Your friend is not an outsider. It’s just an employee ticket. The leader will definitely approve it.”

Tan Yiming only watched the musical played by Xiang Gui once. He went into the theater by accident and hit him by accident. I didn’t expect it to be so fast, I could sit in the theater again and see Xiang Guai’s performance again.

So so, Tan Yiming was left by the staff in the theater.

…

Happy Pancake Company has several cooperating theaters in Hwaseong. Today this theater is three stories high and has three performance halls. The largest one can accommodate 800 audiences.

Tan Yiming walked to the main entrance of the theater and found that many audiences had arrived early. It seems that even the heavy rain has failed to extinguish everyone’s enthusiasm for watching musicals.

At the most conspicuous position of the entrance door of the theater, a tall poster wall was erected, with the poster of “First Love Now” being printed on the poster, and the numerous awards won by the musical were listed on one side.

Many viewers will take pictures in front of the poster wall, and some people will gather to discuss the accident a few days ago.

Tan Yiming noticed that in the open space on both sides of the poster, there were a dozen groups of three-dimensional flower baskets. The colorful flowers are bunched together, and they are supported by the stand high, and there are balloons and colored paper dotted next to it, and it looks extremely lively.

Tan Yiming took a closer look and found a gift message hanging above each group of baskets. There are fifteen groups of flower baskets, three groups are given by the audience to the crew, five groups are given by the fans to the injured male, and the remaining groups are both for the female lead Yaner and other actors in the group. of.

Tan Yiming looked back and forth twice, and found that none of these baskets were given to Xiang Guai.

If you think about it, for the old audience of Huacheng, Xiang Gui is a completely new young actor. He has no fans in this city and this crew, and naturally no one will applaud him.

Tan Yiming looked at the dozen or so flower baskets in front of him and thought-let him be the first fan of Xiang Guai.

Tan Yiming remembered that there was a small flower shop on his way. It’s not far away and it takes five minutes to go back and forth.

He immediately went out to drive and killed the little flower shop.

The road was slightly congested and was delayed for an additional few minutes.

When he got out of the car, he didn’t even care to hit the umbrella, and rushed into the flower shop.

“Boss, can you still make a bouquet now?” He asked openly.

“Yes, why not.” The boss did not expect that there would be business in the rainy day. “Who is it for? Who?”

Tan Yiming cleared his cough: “Cough, not the subject … Give it to an actor I like, and act in the theater next to it.”

The flower shop owner was weird. Because this small shop is close to the theater, and occasionally receive orders from the crew, but those who place orders are young female fans, but the guest who broke in under the heavy rain, no matter from what point of view Not like a fanatic star chaser.

But the boss thought for a while-female fans can chase male actors, and male fans can chase actresses.

The boss asked familiarly, “What actor is your favorite color? I want to determine the main color of the bouquet.”

“……I do not know.”

Tan Yiming thought blankly, is there any support for Xiang Gu? I think should not be.

The boss can only change the question: “What color does he like?”

“……I do not know either.”

Tan Yiming and Xiangchai have been living together for less than a month, but for the time being they haven’t found any color preference. His towels are blue, his toothbrush is yellow, the cups he bought are checkered, and the bedding is gray … Every time I go to the supermarket to buy something, I take the cheapest one on the shelf, no matter Color is not color.

When the boss met and talked, he asked the question, and he simply put the pencil behind his ear and said, “Brother, tell me the truth-you are not chasing the stars, are you chasing someone?”

“…” Tan Yiming was speechless.

The boss waved his hand: “You tell me the budget, can I freely play the rest?”

Tan Yiming nodded and took out a stack of RMB from the wallet and put it on the counter.

He has a lot of money, and his boss won’t be lazy when it comes to money. The boss has a fast hand, and his work is extremely neat, but for an hour of work, he actually inserted a large bouquet of flowers.

The theme color of the bouquet is elegant pearl white, because Tan Yiming was willing to spend money, so the owner chose 99 flowers alone. Starry stars are interspersed among the green lining leaves, embracing the central bouquet. There is also a greeting card behind the basket, so that Tan Yiming can write his blessing.

But the only problem is … the main flower of this bunch of flowers is actually all white roses!

The boss quite contentedly admired his masterpiece: “You see how delicate this concept is, the color is elegant, and the levels are clear. I have a good grasp of it, I am ambiguous, I am serious, and I am serious. Take a step back, it can be said to be a fan For the actor; further, it can be said that the suitor gave it to the sweetheart … rest assured, you give this bunch of flowers to your favorite actress, she will definitely like it! ”

Tan Yiming would like to tell the flower shop owner that he is not seeking an actress …

But at this time it was too late to make another bunch, and Tan Yiming could only hold the full pile of white roses and drove towards the theater again.

…

When he arrived at the theater parking lot, he saw a delivery van blocking the entrance gate of the theater. Several workers in uniform are carefully inserting flowers from the cart into the theater.

The flowers are very elegant, with a square meter square, the main body of the bouquet is light green carnations, clustered together; and in the center of the table, there are two large characters spelled out with yellow main flowers-“guess”.

Tan Yiming: “… ????”

The audience around them said: “Xian Guai? Xiang Guai is today’s male card?”

“Yes, yes, that’s him.” The audience next to her said, “His tyrant fan is too rich. He actually sent such a big flower to the stage! There are more than ten groups of flower baskets in this time. style.”

“Wait, look at the words on the workers’ uniforms. This flower shop is so famous! I remember the century wedding of the former XX actress, and the flowers were made at it.”

The porter quickly moved his hands and feet, and soon moved the flower stand with the name of Xiang Guai to the poster, which instantly attracted countless sights. When the workers left, many audiences came to take photos and take photos.

Someone sharply saw a greeting card behind the flower table and immediately pulled it out and read it in public–

— “Xian Guai, I wish you a successful performance! Friends: Chen Ziran”

The audience burst instantly.

“Chen Ziran? Wouldn’t it be Chen Ziran, right?” A girl said incredulously, “That Chen Ziran who debuted through ‘Xingxuan Avenue’?”

Standing next to her was a man a few years older than her, and the two stood close to each other, looking like a male-female relationship.

Her boyfriend immediately said, “Same name? How hot is Chen Ziran, how did they know each other?”

The girl shrugged: “Chen Ziran is an actor, and Xiang Gu is also an actor. The entertainment industry is so big that I can get to know it if I have a chance.”

But her boyfriend wants to raise the bar: “Actors and actors are different. The dragon sets in Hengdian are also called actors! Chen Ziran follows the traffic route. The mobile game I played was his endorsement, and the endorsement fee was only 10 million. What! But how much money does a musical actor make in one game? Do you think Chen Ziran will make friends with people whose income levels are too poor? ”

When the girl heard this, her expression was a little uncomfortable, and she joked gently: “Wanda Xiaokai said: ‘I don’t care about money when I make friends, I’m already rich anyway’. Maybe Chen Ziran thinks so too Yes, he has money, and he doesn’t try to guess what he wants. He must think that he is good, so he will make friends with him. ”

“Cut, you haven’t graduated yet, it’s too simple.” Her boyfriend hummed humbly. “Even if Chen Ziran doesn’t think too much, can’t think more about guessing? A friend earning a minute earns more than herself. If he has earned a lot of years, can he not be jealous? Can he not be jealous? If he is not jealous and jealous, it must be to hold his thighs, and maybe he will use the springboard of Chen Ziran to confuse the entertainment circle after a while! ”

The young man’s tone of speech was “great”. He said and laughed twice, clearly he was not clear about the relationship between Xiang Guai and Chen Ziran, but he could make up for so much with only a greeting card.

Tan Yiming listened for a long time behind them. Seeing the other party to continue to arrange Xiang Guai, the man finally could not help but interject.

“What kind of profession do you do, gentleman?”

The young man froze and looked around.

Tan Yiming’s appearance was extraordinary. I saw him with one hand in his trouser pocket and one hand holding a white rose. He was very personable and looked calmly at the other side.

The young man looked up and down at him, and asked, “Who are you, what are you doing?”

Tan Yiming smiled: “I’ll check my hukou, will you?”

“…” The young man was choked by him, and for a while he didn’t turn his head, and said his profession stupidly.

Tan Yiming raised an eyebrow: “Oh, that seems to be my misunderstanding.”

The girlfriend next to the youth asked curiously, “What have you misunderstood?”

Tan Yiming chuckled: “I think this gentleman can compose so much nonsense with only a greeting card. I thought he was writing a novel.-But if he can compose such a non-logical plot, even if he writes The novelist is also an eighteenth-class writer who can’t get a subscription. ”

The young man was angry: “You!”

“What am I?” Tan Yiming raised his eyebrows, lowered his voice, and took out his most ‘ferocious and evil’ voice, which is the kind of voice specifically for Hong Kong movies with big brothers and Hollywood blockbusters: “I am Xiang Guai’s friend. I know more about what kind of person he is. He is sincere, simple, and enthusiastic. He has devoted all his energy to the stage and has no time to pay attention to how much money his friends make.

“Sir, you are here to watch the drama, not to write it. If Xiang Gu is not acting well, you can criticize his acting skills; but to make friends with Xiang Gu, you do not need to agree with you. Of course, Xiang Gu does not It doesn’t perform well, so you can save all your nonsense. ”

Everyone who knows Tan Yiming said that he has a good temper, but a person with a good temper will always stand up when faced with a beloved person being vilified by an outsider.

And his awe-inspiring power … isn’t something anyone can just manage.

The young man was dumbfounded by Tan Yiming. He couldn’t make a noise but wanted to get started, but as soon as he raised his fist, he was rushed up and stopped by the security guards in the theater.

The young man lost his face and could only leave in a humble state. Before leaving, he still wanted to drag his girlfriend, but his girlfriend also disliked his mouth full of faeces, and fluffed his hair and ignored him.

The young female staff heard the quarrel here and hurried over. It was just she who took Xiang Gu backstage.

Tan Yiming asked staff: “Audience slanders the actor, don’t you care?”

“This … I can’t control this either.” Staff scratched his face. “Don’t watch the stage performers make a lot of money and look at the popularity, but in fact there are a lot of black powder encounters. We are not agents after all. The company does not have the powerful public opinion management and control capabilities as a serious brokerage company, and all can only be realized by the audience … ”

The actor was praised by the audience, what should I do? -Then smile and accept the praise.

The actor was scolded by the audience for no reason, what should I do? -Not much, scolded and scolded … just get used to it.

After understanding the subtext, Tan Yiming raised a soft pity in his heart.

Xiang Guai on the stage will always be bright; but where the light cannot reach, how many dark arrows did he use with his immature arms?

The staff noticed the white rose in his arms and hurriedly shifted the topic: “If you gave this bunch of flowers to Xiang Gu? I don’t want to put it outside, I’ll get you backstage.”

Tan Yiming looked at the giant flowers inserted by Chen Ziran next to him, and then looked at the bouquet in his arms. Suddenly, how did he feel shameful?

“No need.” Tan Yiming shook his head. “This flower … I won’t give it away.”

Tan Yiming moved the bouquet back to his car. He wanted to stuff it in the back seat, but suddenly felt very annoying, and he just put it into the trunk.

The door was closed and the white rose petals trembled and a leaf fell.

…

Xiang Guai had no idea what happened in the theater hall.

Now, his whole picture is focused on the lines in front of him, while he is playing with the heroine Yan Er, while changing clothes with the help of a makeup artist.

“Xiaoxiang, I’m standing with you, we are all engaged in sister-in-law love!” Sister Yaner is a senior with more than ten years of stage experience, and has starred in many musicals and dramas produced by happy pancakes. . She told the makeup artist, “Hurry up and coat me with a few more layers of powder, especially the neck lines and decree lines. Don’t take the stage for a while, and let the audience laugh at me as an old cow eating tender grass.”

Xiangchai was a full ten years younger than the previous male lead. Looking at his face tender, the makeup artist specially deepened him with a base makeup color number. The two eyebrows were thick and the hair was mature. Only then did Sister Yaner have a sense of cp with him.

Sister Yaner said, “Xiaoxiang, don’t you get up too high with these choruses. I haven’t been in good shape these days and haven’t rested well. The vocal cords are tight.

Nodded nicely to Guess. Sister Yaner saw that her partner’s actor was dragged off the stage by black powder that day, and was greatly frightened. She also started a low fever this morning, and she just lost her fever.

The stage actor is so hard. Their bodies belong to the stage, they must take care of their bodies, the cruel stage does not allow them to get sick at all.

In case of illness, what they think of is not “I’m so miserable, why do I have to work when I’m sick”, but “I’m sorry to have affected other actors.”

Xiang Guai relieved her: “Don’t worry, sister Yaner, the chorus has me.”

Time is tight and the two can only pick and touch a few dance details. There are many dance passages in This First Love Is Now. In order to express the emotional progress of the male and female masters, many dances have close physical contact.

Especially in the double dance in the last scene, the two finally received their marriage certificate. The female host hit the white wedding dress, which was the most affectionate moment. There were three encouraging moves in this period.

Xiang Gui and Sister Yaner practiced a lift in the background and found that he … he couldn’t lift Sister Yaner!

Xiang Guai was already thin. His previous female partners were petite and exquisite. But Sister Yaner is a northerner. She is one meter and seventy feet tall, has a large skeleton, and her body’s center of gravity is different.

Xiang Gu can only hold it up barely once. If he is connected three times, he must fall.

Seeing that they will be playing in five minutes, there is no time to let them dance carefully.

Sister Yan’er made an instant decision: “Forget it, keep it for the last three times.”

Xiangchai hesitated: “But this way, the dance effect will definitely be greatly reduced, and the protagonist’s feeling will not look so close.”

“The jump is not close enough, and it can only be done by acting and singing.” Sister Yaner smiled heartily, stretched out her index finger to evoke Xiang Gui’s chin, and teased him intentionally. You love me so much! ”

Xiang Gui didn’t see that he was being teased by his elder sister, nodded seriously, and said loudly, “I will cheer!”

“Good.” Sister Yaner smiled, “Sister will love you very much.”

…

Tan Yiming’s ticket position is very good. Although the position is biased, in the first three rows, the viewing angle is slightly obstructed, but the impact is not significant.

This play is the main feature of Happy Pancakes last year. It has a good reputation, the plot is not too ups and downs, and the standard silly white sweet love drama. The time is not long, one hour and 45 minutes, no intermission.

After Tan Yiming settled down, he found that there were a pair of little lovers on the left and right, and he was the only lonely man sitting in the seat.

But this little embarrassment was thrown away from his mind immediately after the curtain opened.

The lights are gorgeous and the music is roaring.

Xiang Guai appeared in a school uniform and slung a shoulder bag, which looked like youth.

The young boy was handsome and upright, like a poplar tree growing wildly under the breeze. He hurried through the campus with books in his arms. Who wouldn’t like this scenery?

So the heroine liked him. She secretly fell in love, she would write an entire page of his name in the diary, would go to his seat after school for a while, and secretly ecstatic because two people were on the same day.

On the stage, her gaze chased Xiang Guai.

Under the stage, Tan Yiming’s eyes were chasing Xiang Guai.

Tan Yiming has watched Xiang Guai’s musicals-he has seen his struggles and pains in Fan Letters, and he has seen the **** and unrestrained in Boots Queen. The former is a gloomy black, and the latter is a gorgeous red.

In this play, Xiang Gui gave Tan Yiming a new surprise.

——This is a young, sunny and laughing boy.

He seemed to be born without trouble, he was the pistachio of all people, he was the little sun that fell into the earth, and he was Peter Pan, the homeless.

Tan Yiming’s eyes followed the prince on the stage fondly.

Watch him test, go to school, grow up. Watching him fall in love, quarrel, and get hurt.

Watching him finally fall in love and step into society.

Watching him change from a carefree boy to a responsible man.

Xiang Guai’s eyes were very gentle. For one hour and forty-five minutes on the stage, he loved the heroine.

Tan Yiming’s eyes are also very gentle. He loves Xiang Guai all the time under the stage.

At the beginning, there were still whispers in the auditorium, there were old audiences comparing the performances of Xiang Guai and the previous male lead, and new audiences were talking about how this cp age gap is so big … but as the plot gradually deepens, those voices All disappeared.

Everyone couldn’t help immersing themselves in the plot, and the mood followed the little couple up and down.

When they quarreled, an audience clenched their fists. When they kissed me, an audience showed their aunt’s smile … even a blockbuster, this person who absolutely does not watch romantic dramas except in the workplace, could not help but This applauded on stage CP.

Finally, the plot reached the final scene.

The male protagonist put on a suit, the female protagonist wore a white veil, and went hand in hand to the palace of marriage.

This is the last dance and the essence of the whole show. The two people on the stage jumped so lingeringly, their limbs were close together, he was holding her waist, she was hugging his chest, they were like two groups of butter that were melting each other, sticky , Sweet.

As the scale gradually climbed, the heroine ran towards the hero barefoot.

Xiang Gu’s hands locked her sister’s waist tightly, and she held her hands over her head—a beautiful hold!

After two hours of jumping, jumping, singing and acting, Xiang Gu was actually very tired, and now he has to use his last strength to lift Sister Yaner, and even walk around the stage …

He desperately told himself to stick, stick to it, stick to it.

… But in the end, the lifting operation lasted less than ten seconds, and his elbows were loosened, letting the female partner fall.

The surprise in Sister Yan’er’s eyes flashed, but when she saw the dense beads of sweat on Xiang Gu’s face, she immediately understood.

The background music has not finished, but the dance ends early. It is an accident to say that it is small, but it can be called a performance accident.

Time is tight and no other thoughts can be tolerated.

Sister Yan’er was very experienced on the stage. At this moment, she chose the best remedy-she raised her hand around Xiang Guai’s neck, raised her head, stomped her feet, and kissed the corner of the boy’s lips.

…

This kiss lasted for more than ten seconds, until the ending of the music, the male and female starring did not separate each other.

There was thunderous applause in the auditorium, and no one found the dance accident.

The tip of the ears turned red, almost same hands and feet. It was still Yaner Sister, who took his hand and walked to the stage to close the curtain.

Fortunately, the foundation on his face was so thick that he did not reveal his unnaturalness.

Now happy pancakes no longer allow the audience to rush to the stage, nor allow the actors to jump off the stage and interact with the audience, so Xiang Guai and Sister Yaner can only stand as far as possible to the edge of the stage and bow to everyone.

Ju right, Ju middle, Ju left—

——Xiangchai got together and met the deep eyes in the auditorium.

Tan Yiming sat in front of him, only ten meters away from him.

Xiang Guai: “…”

The man suddenly raised his hand and nodded at the corner of his mouth.

Xiang Gui didn’t know why, so he raised his hand stupidly, and rubbed his lips with his back.

When he lowered his hand, he noticed that there was a striking red on the back of his hand.

That’s … Sister Yaner’s lip gloss.

Xiang Guaiming didn’t lose heart, but under Tan Yiming’s scorching eyes, his heartbeat was chaotic. 2k novel reading network
