Chapter 37

heroine?

After being stunned, Su Bai and Yu Qin looked at each other. Yu Qin couldn't bear his temper and asked, "But we are all men? Why should we play the heroine? No...shouldn't it be a male role?"

Si Zhuo groaned and unfolded the fan in his hand, "If you are willing to give up the leading role and play a supporting actress, I don't mind either."

I even feel a little more relaxed. After all, there is no need to use two stars who have never acted in musicals to take the lead, and the fault tolerance rate will be higher.

Yu Qin shut up immediately. Although it was just their first meeting, the leader of the troupe looked very stern.

Yu Qin couldn't help but start to mourn for the next month of his life.

Seeing Yu Qin shut up, Si Zhuo nodded with satisfaction. He put away the folding fan and gently rubbed the top of the fan with his left hand. He looked past Su Bai and said, "You guys think about it slowly, I'll be here in ten minutes."

After leaving these words, Si Zhuo left calmly.

Only Su Bai and Yu Qin were left looking at each other in the room.

After leaving, Si Zhuo went backstage. No matter what time, the backstage of the theater was the busiest place.

Of course, in order to save costs, this is not the theater where the final performance will be performed, but the rehearsal hall used by Xiang Xinmei Troupe for daily rehearsals.

After accepting the variety show, Si Zhuo was told from the beginning that the play his troupe would rehearse was "Phantom of the Theater".

As a musical actor, naturally everyone knows about "The Phantom of the Opera", one of the four major musicals in the world.

Since its first appearance on the stage, "The Phantom of the Opera" has been loved by countless audiences and won numerous awards. Almost every time it is performed, the theater will be packed.

The members of Xiang Xinmei Troupe are naturally familiar with the play "Phantom of the Theater". Many of them have even been lucky enough to appear in it. Although they only played small roles, for them, being able to participate is already a great success. What an honor.

But this time, taking advantage of the variety show, they were able to rehearse from scratch. Everyone was very excited. The only regret was...the protagonists were two completely unknown stars.

How can two stars who have never appeared in a musical play the two most important roles well?

In the eyes of the Xiang Xinmei Troupe, the most suitable person is naturally their leader, Si Zhuo.

However, most people didn't show it and were just seriously familiar with their roles.

"How are you preparing?" Si Zhuo asked.

"Don't worry, Captain, it's no problem!"

"Captain, don't worry! We will never let anything slip!"

"That's good." Si Zhuo nodded, and after giving a few more pointers, he was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by someone.

"Captain, wait a minute!"

"Lu Zhi?" Si Zhuo turned around and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"

The person named Lu Zhi was a young man, no more than 20 years old by visual inspection. His hair was a bit messy and it was obvious that he had not taken care of it.

"Captain." Lu Zhi made no secret of his intention, "Do we really want to play house with those two celebrities?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other busy members gradually stopped what they were doing and looked at Si Zhuo and Lu Zhi.

In fact, Lu Zhi's doubts were also what they wanted to ask, but Si Zhuo's prestige in Xiang Xinmei Troupe had always been very high, so although the troupe members felt a little unhappy, they did not dare to speak.

Si Zhuo narrowed his eyes slightly and tapped the folding fan gently on the palm of his left hand. "If you have any other ideas, just tell me."

After being pointed out by Si Zhuo, Lu Zhi simply didn't hide it, "I just think, why? The two of them have never performed in a musical before. What if they sing out of tune during the official performance? Then? Isn’t it going to affect our troupe’s reputation by then?”

"In my opinion, you should play the leading role, the leader."

What Lu Zhi said was actually restrained, at least he didn't say that Su Bai and Yu Qin were eighteenth-line people who appeared out of nowhere.

As soon as Lu Zhi finished speaking, he was immediately recognized by the other members.

After Si Zhuo was silent for a while, he suddenly chuckled and said, "In the musical, the two of them are indeed newcomers. But even if they are newcomers, they must be given a chance to show off. Otherwise, how can the newcomers make progress?"

"But..." Lu Zhi wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Si Zhuo.

"Okay." Si Zhuo's tone became a little more serious, "I know what you mean, but that's it. This time it's a performance, but it's also a variety show."

Hearing this, Lu Zhi also fell silent.

After a long time, he said dullly, "I know."

But looking at Lu Zhi's angry look, it was obvious that he was still very unconvinced.

Si Zhuo didn't pay too much attention. Although Lu Zhi was impulsive, he knew the severity and would not joke about the performance, so Si Zhuo let him go.

What's more, in Si Zhuo's view, if you can't convince the crowd with your strength, isn't it natural to be questioned?

After Si Zhuo left, Lu Zhi still felt a little angry, but he also knew that he could not change anything at all.

"Lu Zhi, forget it. You should also control your temper. Otherwise, when you rehearse with those two stars later, wouldn't you be so angry?"

"Yeah yeah."

"Anyway, we just have to do what we should do. The audience has eyes, so they can naturally see whether it is good or bad."

"Furthermore, our troupe has also signed a contract with other people's production teams. We definitely cannot decide the positions of the male lead and the female lead."

"If you think about it from another angle, when the variety show is broadcast, won't it also be a disguised promotion for our troupe?"

"Okay, okay, have you rested enough? It's time to rehearse! Our time is very tight this time, only a month."

Seeing that Lu Zhi couldn't persuade him, everyone just ignored him. Anyway, it wasn't his turn to play yet.

Lu Zhi was depressed for a while. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and ran backstage quickly.

The door was opened, and Lu Zhi poked his head in first. When he saw that no one was there, he quickly squeezed in through the crack in the door.

He flipped through the information on the table and found out the song that Su Bai and Yu Qin would sing during the audition later.

Musical, as the name suggests, is a comprehensive art form that combines music, dance and drama. For musicals, these three are indispensable.

However, actors in film and television dramas may not be able to perform well in musicals. Especially in the music of "Phantom of the Opera", there is a lot of bel canto singing, and the range spans a wide range. If you don't have a musical foundation, you may not even be able to find the right pitch.

After rummaging for a while, Lu Zhi deliberately changed the songs for the audition later, which were about the heroine Christine and the hero Phantom, and replaced them with more difficult ones.

Especially the song by the heroine Christine, there is an almost crazy high note at the end. If you can't sing it...

Lu Zhi put away the smile on his face. He was going to sing sooner or later anyway, so he just treated it as an early experience.

Although it can't change the final result, it can still make the two stars look embarrassed.

In the waiting room, Su Bai and Yu Qin looked at each other for a while. Yu Qin was the first to look away and coughed. He actually felt that Su Bai was more suitable to play the heroine than himself.

After all, Su Bai's face was there. He was so beautiful that he couldn't tell the difference between male and female, and his figure was also slender. After applying makeup, the effect would definitely be better than his own.

But Yu Qin didn't dare to say this for fear of being beaten.

After a moment of silence, Yu Qin suggested, "Well, how about we all try to be the heroine later? Whoever is the most suitable will be chosen."

This is the best way Yu Qin can think of. Anyway, we have to die together.

Su Bai is actually a little confused, but unlike Yu Qin, Su Bai is not very resistant to men dressing up as women, but... If he plays the heroine, doesn't it mean that he has to pay attention to changing his voice when singing? ?

But it’s definitely not possible to keep the voice unchanged. Otherwise, if you just listen and know that the heroine is a man, how can the audience be immersed in it and enjoy it?

Just when Su Bai and Yu Qin were thinking and tangled, Si Zhuo took the time to send a message to Meng Wen'an.

[Si Zhuo: Su Bai is indeed a beauty. 】

However, what Si Zhuo didn't expect was that Meng Wen'an would reply to the message very quickly.

[Meng Wen'an:? 】

Si Zhuo's eyebrows raised slightly, replying so quickly?

[Si Zhuo: The variety show has started filming, and he and another star named Yu Qin came to my troupe to apply for male and female leads. 】

When he received the message, Meng Wen'an was still busy. Originally, he didn't want to reply to the message, but when he caught a glimpse of Su Bai's name from the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but send a question mark, and now...

Applying for male and female protagonists? Are Su Bai and Yu Qin both men?

Is it...

Meng Wen'an's fingers jumped quickly on the phone, and soon a line of information was sent.

[Meng Wen'an: The heroine? I remember, Yu Qin is also a man. 】

[Si Zhuo: Don’t you find it interesting? 】

Meng Wen'an thought for a while and quickly guessed the whole story. It was probably arranged by the director for the sake of excitement.

[Meng Wenan: Did the director arrange it? 】

[Si Zhuo: Probably? 】

Meng Wen'an was silent. An image of Su Bai in a classical Western palace dress immediately appeared in his mind, but he quickly pinched his eyebrows and threw that scene away.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing." Si Zhuo probably disliked the trouble of typing, so he directly sent a voice message, "That director Du Lei is really good at calculating. According to the plan, Su Bai and Yu Qin successfully won the roles of male and female protagonists. After you get the location, there will be a reward, what do you think it is?”

[Meng Wen'an:? 】

Si Zhuo didn't show off, "They can invite a foreign aid. Who do you think Su Bai will invite?"

Meng Wen'an's hand holding the phone tightened, and he subconsciously thought, who else could it be besides himself?

But soon, Meng Wen'anji remembered that he had told Su Bai before that he would be very busy recently.

At that moment, Meng Wen'an suddenly felt like he shot himself in the foot.

After notifying Meng Wen'an, Si Zhuo glanced at the time. Just after ten minutes, he opened the door to the waiting room and asked, "Have you two thought about it?"

Si Zhuo was surprised for a moment when he heard that Yu Qin said that they both wanted to give it a try.

But soon, Si Zhuo smiled and said, "In that case, which of you will come first?"

While Su Bai wasn't paying attention, Yu Qin silently took a step back.

Si Zhuo glanced at Yu Qin with a half-smile, then said to Su Bai, "You come first."

Su Bai:? ? ?

After realizing what happened, Su Bai immediately glared at Yu Qin.

Yu Qin looked at his nose and heart with his eyes, as if he didn't exist.
