Chapter 162 The Opera

162

Qi Le'an picked up Hu Bin and Assistant He, first sent them to the booked hotel to put their luggage, and then went to a good western restaurant together.

Wei Changfeng accompanied him throughout the whole journey. Although he didn't speak much, he also helped carry luggage in front of the driver.

While Wei Changfeng went to the bathroom, Hu Bin and Qi Lean grumbled: "Xiao'an, you and Wei Ge..."

Qi Lean nodded a little shame.

Hu Bin was also the first of his friends to ask him this way.

Hu Bin happily said, "Then I am a matchmaker? Remember the first time you saw you when you filmed "Monster Slayer"!"

Qi Lean was speechless at Hu Bin's brain circuit, thinking I knew Wei Ge in my last life, OK!

Assistant He couldn't stand it anymore, and said with no good air: "What kind of matchmaker are you! Don't put gold on your face!"

Hu Bin was not annoyed by Assistant He being so reprimanded, he squeezed his eyes and said to Qi Lean: "It hasn't changed at all for so many years! He still loves to train people so much!"

Qi Lean remembered that when he was filming, Assistant He had a headache every day for Hu Bin.

Wei Changfeng came back after a while. The waiter served the food. Wei Changfeng tipped him and introduced to the two guests present: "This steak tastes very good. Eat it while it is hot."

Hu Bin nodded, picked up a knife and cut a piece, then smiled and wanted to pass it to Assistant He.

Assistant He looked helpless with the child.

Meeting old friends naturally couldn't help but reminisce about the past. Hu Bin has experienced great ups and downs over the years, and the mentality he cultivated is very human, and his words are all sudden.

Suddenly, there was also a trace of regret, but he himself said, "If you look away, isn't it the same thing? Shoot your own scene! Let others talk about it!"

Qi Lean admired this suddenness, and asked, "So what will Brother Bin do next?"

Hu Bin shrugged, and said, "Take one step at a time and see one step at a time. Now I and Xiao He are not bound by the company. We are all happy!"

Wei Changfeng said: "If you need our help, please speak up."

Hu Bin smiled and cut the steak, and said, "I really want to know something. I heard that the new work of Director Emko needs an Asian face?"

Director Qi Lean knows that the textbooks he wrote are still on his desk.This director who can enter the textbook hasn't filmed a scene for several years.

Hu Bin asked heartlessly, but Assistant He was afraid that the two of them would think too much, and added: "Director Emoko must not look down upon us. This time we came here just to have fun. We will go back to see if we can fry in China. Something out."

Qi Lean knew what was going on right away.

In recent years, as the country's strength has grown, China's film market has become a huge cake.Some producers like to find a Chinese actor to play a small supporting role in order to promote the mainland.The Chinese actors are also happy to be hooked with Hollywood. No matter what role they play, their worth is not the same if they have a face to show off.

However, there are too many monks and porridge, a character can break the head in the country, without a strong background and own strength, you are not even qualified to grab it.

Hu Bin's purpose is obvious. Come out and play around, go back to China and make a splash.

Qi Lean said, "I want to talk about the textbooks he wrote...but he really doesn't know him."

Hu Bin laughed and didn't seem to care, and said, "It's okay, you don't need to see the hype anyway. Go back and borrow me to take a few pictures of your book, and let the netizens make up the rest."

Under the premise that Director Emko was deliberately looking for Eastern faces, Hu Binren took a picture with director Emko in the United States. What did it represent?

Qi Lean couldn't help but praise Hu Bin's wit.

Then Hu Bin asked them what is fun in the United States, and Qi Lean enthusiastically asked if they wanted to borrow a car.Hu Bin waved his hand quickly and said that he was too troublesome to drive, and Assistant He had already booked the car online.

The two discussed the convenience of life brought by Internet e-commerce, and each expressed feeling that they could go straight to dinner for lunch.

However, Qi Lean has something to do tomorrow, so I can't drink wine with Hu Bin until dawn.When they were apart, the two took a few selfies. When Qi Lean went home, he saw Hu Bin asking him if he could post on Weibo.

Of course Qi Lean said yes.

After a while, Chen Bin's overseas call came.

"Xiaoan! Why did Hu Bin directly post on Weibo?"

Wei Changfeng went to take a bath, and Qi Lean sat on the cane chair on the terrace in his spacious pajamas and said, "He asked me, and I agreed."

Chen Bin snorted coldly and said, "This Hu Bin... I knew I wouldn't give him your contact information!"

Qi Lean took the ipad to read the Weibo posted by Hu Bin. The Weibo was normal, with only the words "Meeting in a foreign country and knowing and happy!" plus a selfie. The selfie gave him a beautified face.

He reposted this Weibo easily and said to Chen Bin: "What's the matter? Brother Bin is pretty good!"

Chen Bin said distressedly: "He wants to use you to keep warm!"

Qi Lean thought it was funny. Chen Bin had taken over a lot of business from the Chen family in the past two years, but he was still worried about his agent.

"Two past artists, how can there be any enthusiasm... Besides, Brother Wei was there at the time. If people really want to keep up the enthusiasm, wouldn't the three of them look right?"

Qi Lean is telling the truth. Although he is no longer in China, there are still various news about him and Wei Changfeng in the country.During the holidays, there are always some CP fans who will pull the two out for a stroll, and the official director's film that has not yet been released has become a necessary resource for entering the circle.

If Hu Bin really wants to keep the heat up, put a photo of him and Wei Changfeng standing together, and become popular every minute.

"Hmph," Chen Bin was upset anyway, saying: "You have a snack for yourself! Go to work! Bye!"

Qi Lean spoke well and hung up the phone.

Wei Changfeng came out wearing a bathrobe, took a glass of red wine and handed it to Qi Lean, and said, "What's wrong?"

Qi Lean smiled and said, "Brother Chen is fucking with my mother again."

Wei Changfeng's eyebrows were crooked, and he couldn't help laughing.

The two of them sat on the terrace and discussed the director Qi Lean, and then they were sleepy. He slept too late last night, and he was full of energy all day, all of which made him feel tired.Wei Changfeng was chatting and found that Qi Lean was asleep on a wicker chair. He angrily and funny secretly took a few photos and stored them in his phone, and then hugged him back to the bed.

Woke up the next morning, Wei Changfeng had already made sandwich toast.After the two slowly ate their breakfast, Wei Changfeng sent Qi Le'an to the troupe, while he went to Professor John's.

Jenny greeted Qi Lean enthusiastically. Most of the troupe were students from Tisch. Everyone had a party together before, and they greeted each other and practiced separately.

Jenny gave Qi Lean the entire opera script, and asked Qi Lean if she needed special help.

The most important thing in opera is singing.Qi Lean thought of his freshman year when he was told that the performance class report turned out to be an opera, and he couldn't help feeling funny.

"Ann! We will rehearse for the first time in an hour!"

He said ok to Jenny, then took the script to practice.

"Othello" is a famous play by Shakespeare. The four-act opera can be traced back to the nineteenth century. It is a genius work created by the composer Verdi more than ten years after he left the pen.The whole story tells that Othello, under the conspiracy of the insidious flag officer Iago, mistakenly believed that his wife Desdemona had an affair with his adjutant Cassio.An angry Othello killed his wife, and later learned the truth after Iago’s wife exposed him, and sorrowfully decided himself next to Tess.

Qi Le'an plays Cassio, the most innocent in the whole show, and the role is not serious or serious.

This is the first opera he has come into contact with, and it is all about sleeping and dreaming during the busiest rehearsal period.Therefore, Qi Lean just took a brief look and recalled all of Cassio's lines.

He hung his throat again in the practice room and did a few performances. It didn't take long for Jenny to knock on the door and call him.

Qi Lean thought he was ready and went to the rehearsal hall to rehearse with his companions.But when it was really time to integrate, he realized that his skill was not enough!

For two full hours, his nerves have been tight.But this is not a familiar crew after all. It is the first time that Qi Lean has collaborated with these skilled old actors, and things will inevitably go wrong.

This resulted in a much worse effect than Qi Lean expected, but fortunately, Jenny immediately comforted him: "It's already great! Ann! I have helped you record the problem that just occurred."

Jenny hurriedly returned Qi Lean's script to him, and Qi Lean found that there were many points that needed attention.

Qi Lean smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you!"

Jenny shook her head, greeted everyone to gather together, and pointed out the areas that need attention.After listening, everyone nodded one after another, and then dispersed.

The troupe will contact each other on weekdays, usually in the same row after the rest day, and then contact each other separately.Wait until Wednesday or so and there will be a second game to check for missing.Waiting until the day before the performance, they will rehearse the whole in the theater.

Naturally capable and experienced actors do not need to check in every day, while novices like Qi Lean have to spend time in the theater.

After practicing for a day, Qi Lean finally found the feeling.He is not the most talented, but he must be the most hardworking.In the evening, the people in the troupe left one by one, and finally Jenny also came to say goodbye to Qi Lean.

Qi Lean hesitated for a moment, and after seeing a short section of the last act in his script, he said he would stay for a while.

Jenny came up to hug Qi Lean, told him not to work hard, and then left.

The indoor signal was not good, and Qi Lean went out to send a message to Wei Changfeng to tell him to return later.Wei Changfeng couldn't bear to be alone, saying that he would drive to pick him up now.

Qi Lean was happy immediately and walked back indoors with his mobile phone to prepare for contact.

But when he walked to the door, he heard an unfriendly voice.

"Jenny actually gave Cassio the role of a yellow pig! Shit!"
