A few hours before he first appeared on the stage to meet the audience, Hu was quite relaxed.

According to the schedule, his next performances, catwalks and technical synthesis were all in a few days, so he sat in the audience carefully and watched the rehearsal of another group of actors on the stage.

Just three hours before the rehearsal began, as the first person, Jiang Bairen stepped on the empty steps during the rehearsal and sprained his ankle. The sharp pain in his ankle forced him to interrupt the rehearsal and ice in the background.

An hour before the performance, Bai Ren's foot injury still hasn't improved. He looked at Zhou Fang and shook his head. Zhou Fang, who had just finished lunch, said nothing, turned pale and silently went to make up.

Backstage of Hongqiao Art Center, we met two actors, Jiang Bairen and Hu, who played "Super Supporting Actor" Doman in "Gentleman Directs Love to Kill". Before the seventh performance, two big boys told the story at the beginning of the article with bright smiles.

The English version of A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder was written by robert friedman and composed by Steven Rutwak. This work is adapted from Roy horniman 1907' s novel Israeli Grades: The Autobiography of a Criminal.

Monty, a grass-roots youth in the post-Victorian era, accidentally learned that he was the ninth heir of the Desquis family one day.

Unable to resist, he ran to tell the goddess Sebera. When Sebera heard Monty's words, he smiled and said, "Unless eight people are dead."

Meanwhile, Monty turned to the Desquis family for help and wanted to find a job in a bank. The insolence of the Desquis family towards Monti made him angry, and he decided to murder eight heirs?

Two actors play the roles of the eight heirs.

When it comes to the fate of this play, the two have different stories.

Bai Ren is from Taiwan Province Province. When I graduated from primary school, my father came to Kunshan, Jiangsu Province to live and study, and later graduated from the Music and Drama Department of Shanghai Conservatory of Music.

After returning to Taiwan Province Province for military service and working alone in Taiwan Province Province for six years, he returned to the mainland last year and became an active musical and stage actor on the mainland stage.

I heard that "Gentleman's Guide" began to choose actors, and many colleagues around Bai Ren received interview notices, except themselves.

As a result, the day before the interview, he found that the interview notice had been sent to his father's mobile phone and felt "ridiculous". He didn't get the song assigned for the interview until a few hours before the interview.

At this point, the participating actors have been practicing for many days.

At the last moment when he walked into the interview field, he suddenly saw a small line at the end of the soundtrack, indicating that the role was an old woman. He had a brainwave and played it in a woman's voice.

Perhaps the producer was deeply impressed by the plasticity of the sound, and Bai Ren succeeded in getting the most brilliant role in this overall situation.

However, the interview of the actor didn't go well. Seeing that the rehearsal time is getting more and more tense, I haven't found a suitable actor. Bai Ren joked with the staff: "Hurry up, I'm dying!"

He always teases people around him about the fatigue and difficulties in his work in a relaxed tone. His sly expression, soft Taiwanese accent and humor are his coping strategies.

Jiang Bairen

"It seems that my appearance saved the lives of outstanding young musical actors." Hu joked.

Hu graduated from Shanghai International Studies University with bachelor's and postgraduate degrees. He has been interested in musicals and theatrical performances since he was a student. By chance, he appeared in the play Plague ―― interestingly, he also played many roles in the play.

Later, he gradually embarked on the road of being a professional actor, and he also appeared on the stage of the China version of the musical "Being a Strange Doctor", which just finished his tour in Beishangguang.

The role of Doman is also the "that role" that he has always wanted to challenge.

Speaking of the difficulty of the performance, the two actors have a special agreement, that is, the transformation of roles.

The eight roles are male and female, with a particularly large age span and little stage time interval. It is often necessary to change the shape and sound within ten seconds, and at least four staff members will help change clothes on the stage.

The last scene is a charming lady, and ten seconds later, she is a mature and steady aristocratic gentleman.

According to the different personality characteristics of the two actors, the design of some roles is also different. For example, Bai Ren's fitness instructor is a contrast of strong figure and slender voice, and Zhou Fang's tough guy setting is "Jing Nan". Similar details are too numerous to mention.

If you like them, you can also go to the theater to see their performances in person!
