Weed practice method

Chapter 22 Quarrel

At five o'clock in the morning, Li Xuan got up according to the routine in the Taoist temple, and sat in the magic circle in the house to practice as usual.

At this time, Wang Tianshi's old voice echoed in the magic circle: "Xuanjian, when will you come back?"

Li Xuan opened his eyes and said: "If you go back to the patriarch, you will be able to go back to the mountain in a few days if you collect all the money and money."

"Then you come back as soon as possible. A few days ago, Tianshi Yuan of Qingyun Palace in Houshan showed off their gold-plated god statue in front of me. This time, let's carry the gold-plated statue of Laojun to the gate of his Taoist palace for a few laps."

"You do this stupid thing yourself." Li Xuan said coldly.With a wave of his hand, he turned off the thousands of miles of sound transmission in the magic circle, and continued to meditate with his eyes closed.

Li Xuan had already collected enough money, but there were always some things that made him want to stay and then leave for a few days, dragging on day by day until even the patriarch came to urge him to go back to the mountain.

Even Li Xuan himself didn't realize that he was waiting, waiting for the only person who would send him a message.

Li Xuan took out his phone from his pocket and turned on the screen. On the screen was a selfie of Ye Tang smirking.He just looked at the screen quietly with no expression on his face, and continued watching after the screen turned off automatically.

As the end of the new year approaches and the weather gets colder, shops on the street have begun to hang up red lanterns to welcome the Spring Festival.

Maybe it was because the heating in the room was turned on too high. Ye Tang was lying on the sofa at home in the middle of the day, drowsy. There was a lengthy shopping advertisement on the TV. He tilted his body and almost fell down, and his sleepiness was suddenly reduced by half .

Ye Tang stood up listlessly. He must be really old. In his impression, elderly people like to sleep with the TV on.

When he turned on his phone, he found that Qin Yao had picked up work for him again.

"Next week, I will start training in drama. I will ask Zhao Peng to hand you the script in two days." Qin Yao sent a message.

Drama?Ye Tang wanted to cry but had no tears, why did Qin Yao pick up a job that he didn't like and was not good at?

He dialed Qin Yao's phone and asked, "Sister Yao, what are you doing for me in a play, I haven't acted before and can't do it."

"It's because you don't know how to act." Qin Yao still said in an unquestionable tone: "I asked you to specialize in the show business circle. The first thing you need to do is to practice your acting skills well. The small theater is to test your acting skills, your line skills and your performance on the spot. The best way. As long as you can perform stage plays well, you will be able to get TV dramas at your fingertips in the future, and maybe you can also act in movies."

Ye Tang knew that he couldn't talk to her, and he was only humiliating himself by calling. After hanging up the phone, he fell into endless distress.

When I think about the fact that I have to perform a stage play for several hours in front of so many audiences, the difficulty is equivalent to asking a first-grade elementary school student to do sixth-grade exam questions.

There is no way, Qin Yao has always liked to use the method of driving ducks to the shelves.

At this moment, the phone rang again. Ye Tang thought it was Qin Yao, but it turned out to be Li Xuan.

He was startled at first, after all, this was the first time Li Xuan took the initiative to call him, and quickly pressed to answer.

"Li, does Daoist Li have anything to do with me?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow morning."

Ye Tang's heart sank inexplicably, and he quickly asked, "Go? Where are you going?"

"Go back to Longhu Mountain."

"Hey...so fast..." At this time, Ye Tang wished that the statue of Laojun was five meters high, no, ten meters high, so that Li Xuan could stay here for the rest of his life to make money.

"I'll treat you to dinner that night as a way of seeing you off."

"it is good."

Ye Tang thought for a while, and only Li Xuan could eat a few mouthfuls of the Huaiyang restaurant's dishes, so he said, "I'll see you at the old place at eight o'clock that night."

After the meeting with Li Xuan, Ye Tang called the restaurant to book a private room.

When the evening was approaching, Li Xuan set off for the appointment. He always walked mostly when he traveled, and he would rather walk on the street for two hours in advance than squeeze the subway for 10 minutes.

"Oh my god, this is Ye Tang!"

"I'll go, I can't tell at all, has he transformed?"

The voices of two girls talking on the side of the road not far ahead naturally couldn't escape his sensitive ears.Hearing Ye Tang's name, he subconsciously stopped and looked at the two of them.

Two girls were standing in front of the glass window of the bookstore, facing a poster with flushed faces.

"This is too erotic, I'm about to fall." One of the girls covered her mouth and smiled nympho.

"It's not just lust, it's a monster of the abstinence department! I'm going to buy a few more and take it home for collection."

The two girls walked into the bookstore laughing and chatting, and after a while they each walked out with two copies of "Fruity Burning" in their arms.

Li Xuan walked quickly to the glass window of the bookstore, and the moment he saw the poster, his pupils constricted suddenly, and he couldn't help but gasp.

It was the cover of the latest issue of "Fruity Burning". Ye Tang lay face up on the bed, his messy black hair and white sheets stimulated his vision, his chin was slightly raised, his eyes were blurred and innocent, his white shirt was faded to his waist, and his sleeves were still loose Putting it on the wrist, most of the chest and abdomen are exposed, and the black tie around the neck is pulled crookedly, which makes people imagine.

In the lower right corner of the cover, the star of this issue is written in eye-catching artistic words: Ye Tang.

Li Xuan frowned tightly, and the hands hanging in the wide sleeves of the Taoist robe were clenched into fists.

Ye Tang lay on the round table in the private room of the restaurant and waited boredly for a table of dishes. He checked the time, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, there was no reason for Li Xuan to be an hour late.

He pressed Li Xuan's phone number, and a notification sound came from the phone that the phone had been turned off.

Maybe he was busy with something, Ye Tang thought, he took his mobile phone and started playing games to pass the time, until all the dishes on the table were cold, Li Xuan still didn't show up.

At eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, the restaurant had already been cleaned and was about to close, and Ye Tang left disappointed.

When we left the restaurant, it was snowing heavily outside, and the ground was already covered with a layer of crystal white.

Every step Ye Tang took left shallow footprints. When he was driving home, he was still thinking, with such heavy snow, Li Daochang might not be able to catch the plane tomorrow morning, so he should drive him to the airport early.

Because he didn't know when Li Xuan would leave, Ye Tang got up early the next morning and drove directly to Li Xuan's residence.

Fortunately, the heavy snowfall had stopped all night, the sky was blue and clear, and the snow on the ground was so thick that it could cover the feet.

As soon as Ye Tang parked the car in front of Li Xuan's house, he saw him come out of the room dragging his luggage, then locked the door and walked down the steps.

"Morning Li Daochang, the snowy road is not easy, I'll take you to the airport." Ye Tang smiled and walked to him to pick up his luggage: "Let me carry it for you."

"Get out of the way." Li Xuan said coldly, avoiding Ye Tang's gaze.

Ye Tang asked puzzledly: "What's the matter, I think you seem a little angry."

"I told you to get out of the way." Li Xuan pushed his hand away with the luggage, and walked forward without looking back.

"What's the situation?" Ye Tang hurriedly caught up with Li Xuan's Taoist robe in confusion and asked, "Daozhang Li, why are you so angry at me? I didn't mess with you."

Li Xuan dropped his luggage and turned to stare at him angrily: "You know what you have done yourself."

Ye Tang was also a little annoyed by Li Xuan's ignorance and inexplicable anger: "What do you mean? I don't care about you!"

Li Xuan snorted coldly, and threw the magazine in his sleeve onto Ye Tang: "You really want to be popular so much, you even take this kind of photos."

Ye Tang bent down to pick up the "Guo Ran" magazine that fell on the snow, looked at it and said in doubt: "I offended you by taking pictures of the magazine? Besides, I didn't show much..."

"What do you want to look like!" Li Xuan pointed at him with a ruthless face and reprimanded him sharply: "Do you know how to write the word "honesty and shame! You will be satisfied if you make such an appearance for everyone to see!"

"It doesn't matter to you even if I take off my clothes!" Ye Tang was scolded and scolded, and the anger in his heart also surged up: "You Li Daochang is flawless and spotless, why do you think I have no shame now? Don't you?" Even me standing in front of you pollutes your air."

Li Xuan gasped heavily and his chest heaved violently and said, "Go away, I don't want to see you again."

The magazine in Ye Tang's hand fell to the ground again, and Li Xuan's cold words were like a knife stabbing at his heart.

Ye Tanghong looked at Li Xuan with trembling eyes, then turned around and got into the car, slammed the door heavily and drove away.

After driving for an unknown amount of time, Ye Tang's hands holding the steering wheel trembled uncontrollably, and tears welled up in his eyes. He stepped on the emergency brake and parked the car on the side of the road, then lay on the steering wheel and cried loudly.

Li Xuan stood there in a daze. It took a long time before he lifted his feet and walked over slowly to pick up the magazine on the ground, lightly patted off the snow on it, stuffed it into his cuffs, and closed his eyes with a painful expression.

In the next few days, Ye Tangwo slept at home with his head covered for two days and didn't answer the phone. It wasn't until Qin Yao and Zhao Peng rushed to the door thinking that something happened to him that he got out of the bed with red and swollen eyes. .

Originally, Qin Yao was so angry that she was about to reprimand this artist who went on strike for no reason, but when she saw his haggard face, she suddenly softened her heart and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Ye Tang said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, Sister Yao, I'm a little unwell these days."

"Why don't you see a doctor if you're not feeling well? Just listen to your hoarse voice. Now the repertory troupe is waiting for you to report and start rehearsing." Qin Yao pinched her waist and complained dissatisfiedly: "As an artist, I don't know how to manage myself at all. , How much trouble will you cause me like this."

"I'm sorry, Sister Yao." Ye Tang raised his head and looked deep and silent, and said in a decisive tone: "It won't happen in the future, I will... never do this again."

"Oh...forget it, let's not take it as an example." Qin Yao waved her hands helplessly, and then said to Zhao Peng: "Hurry up and buy some medicine for your throat, it will be bad if you delay the drama rehearsal."

Zhao Peng nodded, looked at Ye Tang worriedly, and went out to buy medicine.

Ye Tang tidied himself up and followed Qin Yao into the car and set off to the drama troupe.Zhao Peng was in charge of driving, and Qin Yao and Ye Tang sat in the back seat. She took out the drama script from her bag and handed it to Ye Tang, saying: "You should familiarize yourself with it first, and memorize the lines as soon as possible. The rehearsal time is only three months, which is not bad." I’m quite nervous, as soon as the rehearsal is over, I’m about to perform on stage, and it’s not just one show, I heard that I’m going to tour several cities.”

"Okay." Ye Tang nodded and took the script and flipped through it. On the cover it said "Old Things in the Republic of China".

The story takes place in a deep house during the period of the Republic of China. Ye Tang plays the male number two, Shen Chuqing, the younger brother of the protagonist.

When Ye Tang arrived at the drama troupe, as expected, he was ridiculed by the troupe leader in front of other drama actors.

The head of the group, Cao Yan, is a serious uncle in his 50s. He pointed at Ye Tang with a rolled up script in his hand and said, "If Qin Yao hadn't found a relationship and insisted on inserting you, you would think that we wanted to use your little bit of acting skills." There is no airs! If you are late for a day, who will you show it to? You really think you are a big star, and you don’t weigh how much you are.”

Ye Tang sighed lightly, bowed deeply and sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, leader, I'm sorry for delaying the rehearsal progress due to personal matters, I will never do it again in the future, please treat me strictly."

Cao Yan frowned slightly. In fact, he didn't like to use idol stars who were flashy and hard-working.I wanted to take this opportunity to force Ye Tang away so that he could retreat, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he apologized to all the actors and staff of the repertory troupe one by one.

"Hmph, it was you who said you wanted me to treat you strictly. Don't cry in the days to come. If you can't keep up with the rehearsal progress and drag the troupe back, I'll have someone here to take your role." Cao Yan looked at him coldly, I want to see how long this embroidered pillow of yours can endure.

"Okay, now that the actors are all here, let's start the rehearsal." Cao Yan opened the script and looked at it: "Today's rehearsal, let's review the first scene of the opening scene. The hero and heroine are on stage."

The character played by Ye Tang didn't appear until the second act, and he sat under the stage busy reciting his lines during the spare time.

When Ye Tang joined the rehearsal, Cao Yan frowned the whole time, and stopped within a few minutes.

"I said, what's the matter with you, Tang Ye, no matter how you act, you are as timid as a thief and can't let go, so the audience in the audience will not know what you are acting at all."

Ye Tang bowed his head and kept apologizing, Cao Yan said helplessly, "You should sit down and watch how other people act as an audience."

Ye Tang nodded, and went to the stage to watch the performance of the hero and heroine carefully.He found that drama actors are very explosive, and their facial expressions and movements are exaggerated, because the audience is watching directly with their eyes while sitting under the stage, and there is no way to directly let the audience feel emotions through subtle facial expressions without a close-up of the camera.

Ye Tang finally understood why the head of the group was dissatisfied with his acting skills.At this time Qin Yao patted him on the shoulder and leaned over and said, "Do you know why you can't improve your acting skills?"

Ye Tang thought for a while: "Maybe it's because I can't let go."

Qin Yao said: "You are a bit introverted and inferior in your bones, and you dare not express your emotions, and the most important thing for acting is to express emotions intuitively."

"Do you know why I forced you to shoot that kind of magazine?" Qin Yao squinted at him, saw that he pursed his lips and said nothing, and then said, "I'm forcing you to take off the restraints. When you rehearse later, you I just thought that I have already taken off my body anyway, and I have done so many shameless actions, there is nothing I can’t let go of, and boldly release my feelings through the performance.”

Ye Tang smiled wryly: "Sister Yao, your words are really bad."

"If you want to be a good actor, you don't need to have idol baggage and psychological burden."

I don't know if it was influenced by Qin Yao's words, Ye Tang let go of his movements and emotions a lot after rehearsing again, and Cao Yan's serious expression also slowed down a little.

In the next few days, Ye Tang devoted all his attention to the performance practice. Although Cao Yan would still criticize a few words, Ye Tang could hear that he was seriously pointing out his shortcomings.
