Chapter 1024 The Battle of Ideas (Part 1)

Abort the show? But the filming of Demon Shadow has been completed, and there is no need for actors to appear on stage... No, the key point is why did he say that?

Mei, who had not expected that the other party would make such a request, was at a loss for a moment.

Probably knowing that what he said was a bit scary, Kajin quickly added, "It's not a cancellation, it's just a temporary suspension. For example, if you feel unwell and need to rest - if you postpone it for about a week, I think those officials should He will agree to allow us to meet His Majesty."

"But..." May wanted to say that Phantom was completely different from the previous plays, and that the Star Flower Theater Company was not responsible for the performance. However, as soon as she said "but", she attracted Röntgen's ridicule.

It can be seen that she has been patient for a long time.

"I told you that this was a waste of your efforts. She was the one who initiated this matter, so how could she stop temporarily? Teacher, you have misjudged the wrong person."

"I thought you just went astray and gave up on the pursuit of drama, but I didn't expect you would reach this point." Baynis stomped her feet unwillingly, "Thankfully I said a nice word for you that day...Lannis Madam, what do you think theater is? A tool for building fame?"

"If she didn't say it, we would still be in the dark. She is the wife of Chief Knight Carter Lannis. Isn't it normal for those officials to want to please her? I don't believe that with Teacher Cajin's reputation, His Majesty Roland will continue to Not even a chance to perform!"

"That's enough!" Cajun Faith shouted, "I didn't come to her to hear you arguing! And I don't think Mei would do that. If you don't believe my judgment, please leave here. room. I just want to hear her answer now!"

Oh my god, May could barely close her mouth in surprise. From the sarcasm of these people, she pieced together an incredible story - the Cajun troupe wanted to perform a play for His Majesty before the coronation ceremony, and in accordance with the charter, presented to the City Hall. She submitted an application, but the reply was an unexpected rejection. Therefore, after Röntgen and others learned that she was marrying the chief knight, they believed that she was causing trouble and asked the officials below to suppress the application and directly rejected the troupe. ?

This is really a huge misunderstanding!

If things were indeed as she thought, the other party's undisguised hostility would explain it.

Whether it is rejection, disappointment, or even overt and covert competition for roles, it is just a conflict between actors. This is very common in the theater world, and no one is the enemy of this kind of thing. But it's completely different to use other forces to hinder the other party's performance. It can be regarded as an infringement - an infringement on the career that the theater performer loves.

If it were her, she would probably be even more indignant and contemptuous than them.

"Except for the members of the troupe who were with me that day, I didn't mention what happened in the hotel to anyone." May said slowly, "I can guarantee this."

"I also believe this, so I decided to talk to you," Kajin rubbed his forehead, "We know nothing about this newly established city and don't know what the problem is. This move is also Out of helplessness. Of course, we will make compensation afterwards.”

When the word compensation was mentioned, Roentgen and others frowned and looked away.

And Mei didn't have the time to worry about what the compensation was at this moment. Based on her understanding of Kajin Feisi, the other party must have a reason for mentioning it like this.

"Before I answer you, I want to ask a question first," she thought for a moment. "Your supervisor mentioned before that you were very disappointed with me...why?"

The old man was silent for a long time, and then waved to the famous actors.

"Teacher..." Röntgen seemed to want to say something, but finally closed his mouth, turned and left the study.

The other people also filed out, and soon they were the only two people left in the room.

Kajin Feisi stared at Mei, and the reproach in his eyes actually made the latter avoid him.

"How many plays have you appeared in in the past two years?"

However, the other party's words surprised her.

"Uh...seven or eight movies?" Mei hesitated.

"There are twelve works in total," Ka Jin counted on his hands, "'Cinderella', 'Witch Stories', 'Dawn', 'New City'... Let's not mention the scripts themselves. Do you really feel that you Did you perform them well?"

Mei paused, "Have you seen these...?"

No, this was a stupid question. She immediately realized that her performance was mainly in the Western Region, and he should have heard others talk about it.

Sure enough, Ka Jin shook his head, "There are my students in all the four realms of Graycastle. It is not difficult to know these." He sighed, "And when you starred in "The Prince Seeks Love", you spent more than half a year and two moon."

Mei didn't answer, she had already realized the meaning of the other person's words.

A lifelike performance is tempered by a lot of time behind the scenes. This is an unbreakable law in the drama world. No matter how talented the actor is, there is no guarantee that he will memorize every line and every action in a short period of time. Heart.

In fact, because she rehearsed too many plays, she did make a lot of low-level mistakes that she had never made before - such as remembering the wrong lines, using the wrong expressions, etc. These mistakes may be difficult for ordinary people to detect, but In the eyes of critical viewers, it will inevitably appear particularly abrupt.

"I don't know why you switched from the Chang Opera House to Border Town and started performing this kind of sideshow at the same time," Ka Jin said in a deep voice, "There may be an order from the lord, but without your will, he wouldn't be able to Forcing you to do this. After all, drama is a dance in public, and no one can dance with shackles. May-" He did not use Mrs. Lannis's name, but returned to the tone of his past teachings, " You should know very well that the level of the audience can in turn enhance the actor's skills. Without high requirements and high standards, where would there be motivation to move forward? You have indeed catered to most people, but you have given up on higher acting skills. Your pursuit, this is why I am disappointed in you..."

She couldn't refute, or even say a word of defense, because Mei knew that the other party was right - judging from her performance level alone, she had indeed been in a declining stage recently, and the time she devoted to practice was not only greatly shortened, but also "Wolf Heart" In the drama "Romania", he even rejected his own role. One drama after another did not allow her to delve deeply into it, and supporting the Star Flower Troupe also consumed a lot of her energy.

After a long time, she asked, "Have you been preparing for this play that you plan to star in for a long time?"

"Exactly two years," Ka Jin said proudly, "In addition to performing old plays, we have been practicing it continuously in the past two years. Even on the ship and in this hotel, we did not waste a breath of time. Every time The details have been perfected, and with just a suitable platform, these children can stage a perfect drama - even more perfect than my previous peak, "Looking for Love."

He looked directly at Mei, "Although you have failed to live up to the talent given by the gods, your love for drama is not fake. I believe you are right. If you can appreciate a wonderful drama, you will definitely appreciate it from the bottom of your heart. Feeling happy, am I right?"
