Chapter 599: 598. Spoken Drama

As the thick overseas geography "magazine" neared its end, the filming of "Corridor Pavilion" was approaching its final stages.

Whether it was indoor drama scenes or outdoor large-scale action scenes, it was all coming to an end.

"Although I’ve been a bit tired during this period, to tell the truth, it could count as the smoothest shoot I’ve ever had."

In the rest area, Ke Hong, holding a red thermos cup, was talking to Tang Shu.

She nodded in agreement; she had worked with several crews, and generally speaking, had not encountered any bizarre combinations. Whether it was "Heroes in Troubled Times" or "You Smile," both were very harmonious. But, if she had to say which crew made her feel the most comfortable, it would only be "Corridor Pavilion."

The lead actors and veteran actors were supportive, the director was competent, and the team coordination was perfectly in sync; it would have been difficult for it not to go smoothly.

Afterward, everything would move into the editing phase, and their time as actors and crew would also come to an end.

At this moment of departure, Tang Shu still felt a bit reluctant to leave.

"Does Teacher Ke have other crews to film with?"

"Not anymore. At our age, we rarely take on scripts. One reason is that our physical strength can’t keep up. Moreover, we prefer to spend time and energy on stage plays."

Compared to the younger generation of actors, the veteran actors placed more emphasis on achievements in stage theatre. They originated as stage actors, and this type of performance, which goes from start to finish in one take without calling ’cut,’ is the most challenging. It is also what made them successful.

"Is Xiao Tang Shu interested in stage plays?"

Ke Hong took a sip of warm water and smiled at her. As he spoke, even Teacher Kou beside them turned to look.

"Xiao Tang is a promising seedling. Her acting is not bad, but if she wants to improve, why not come and train with our drama troupe?"

Although Tang Shu’s acting in the younger generation was commendable, in the eyes of the veterans with decades of experience, there were still some imperfections.

Tang Shu was momentarily taken aback upon hearing this, then she began to contemplate deeply.

During this time, whether as an observer or a participant, she had received many inspirations throughout the shooting period. The profession of acting, which Damo had never experienced before, had piqued her interest; it had already become more than just a skill she had learned to adapt to the current environment.

Quite interesting indeed, it was a significant challenge for her.

To improve her acting, aside from pondering the character traits of various roles in a crew, taking on stage plays was an enormous challenge.

Since she aspired to make a name in this industry, naturally, she would challenge the most unlikely of endeavors—that was her principle in life and dealings.

"If both respected teachers hold me in such high regard, I, Tang Shu, will certainly work hard."

"Haha, that’s great! You’ve got guts, young lady!"

Nowadays, not many young people are truly committed to performing in stage plays! Bear in mind, stage plays in themselves do not attract young people’s affection. Aside from being labor-intensive for a performance, the earnings are limited, and whether it can even be adapted for the screen remains unknown.

Tang Shu’s response made the two veteran actors look at her with renewed respect.

"When we have a suitable role for you, make sure to come, okay?"

"Definitely."

In the hotel, Tang Shu flipped through the materials in her hands with great interest, fascinated by the various plants and animals documented within.

"This grass, is it really that beautiful?"

As the old saying goes, the more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it can be.
