Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
They heard the emcee’s announcent.
The spotlight on the stage in front of them shone over, and they finally went up on stage.
As they felt no pressure in their hearts, they were in just the perfect state of relaxation.
It actually brought out their best state.
If they went up on stage with the ntality they had before Albertine had caused a ruckus, they might not even have perford as well.
But because they felt that even if they lost, no one would bla them because of this, they could actually perform up to their usual standards, and even better.
The performance then ca to an end.
Chamberlain nodded and said, “Earlier on, there was a situation backstage, but you guys were able to adjust your states so quickly and get into character once more. Well done. Of course, there are still so shortcomings. I can tell that your script has been simplified.”
Lu Man nodded and said, “Our capabilities are not strong enough. With our current capabilities, we are not able to act out the original script very well. We can only simplify and reduce it to a scope that we can manage. In doing so, we had to take away so of the brilliance and essence of the original work. I look forward to a day when we will be able to completely and successfully perform the original work in its complete form.”
“It’s not just you all. Even for soone who had acted in nurous productions, no one can confidently say that they will definitely be able to re-enact and bring out the essence of the original work completely. And no actor will dare to say that he or she has expressed all the unique features, the deepest and most soulful parts of the original work’s character fully.
“I also acted as Hamlet before, but really, when I was done acting that role, I was not satisfied with my own performance either. At that ti, I was very arrogant. Given the back then, I was actually not capable enough to take on such a role. Rather than insisting on acting out such a complicated role, if your tone and manner of speech are not skilled enough, you might as well perform within a scope that you can manage. Simplifying it a little is not a bad thing to do.”
Zoey smiled and said, “I look forward to seeing you all perform a more complete version of this play.”
Grijec pushed up his glasses and said, “Although your script had been simplified, in this way, you all were also able to completely be in control of the stage, and you didn’t let the performance get out of your control. The pace throughout was managed very well, and the flow did not break. It was as if there had been an invisible string in your hands from start to end, with each of you pulling it along bit by bit.”
Grijec smiled and said, “But as I watched the way you all reorganized and adapted the script, I felt that it was done in a very experienced manner. And your positions on stage, with the pauses between each of you, did not look like the work of a novice either. And there are so habits in the positioning which I find quite familiar too.
“May I ask, for this show of yours, who directed your performance?” Grijec asked.
Lu Man smiled and said, “It’s Robert and Hayer.”
Grijec exclaid “Oh!” in surprise. If Lu Man said that, it was definitely the two people that he knew and not so other people who had the sa nas.
“I say, that’s why it looked so familiar!” Grijec laughed and said, “The two of them were actually the ones who directed the performance for you all.”
“You all don’t know. Robert has a small habit when it cos to stage positions. There are many tis when he’d walk to the side and turn around, then he would habitually pause for up to a second. It’s not a very significant habit and is very difficult to notice. But I worked with him on quite a few shows before, so I noticed this point. And now, I also see this practiced by your male lead here.”
Wang Yanglin smiled in embarrassnt as he said, “When Robert was guiding , I just learned it.. But I didn’t know this was his habit, I just thought that this was the way to act it out, so I just learned it as well.”
