Chapter 527

With unanimous approval, 'Thunderstorm' became the opening big play of the International Theatre Season without any objection.

After the opening big play was decided, naturally, the actors for 'Thunderstorm' needed to be confirmed.

As soon as the notice for selecting actors was issued, the threshold of Dean Tian's office was almost trampled flat.

Since everyone learned that the creator of the script 'Thunderstorm' was Ye Xuan, almost all active actors in the National Theatre of China came to recommend themselves.

Many veteran actors, since participating in the reading session of 'Thunderstorm', loved 'Thunderstorm' so much.

Among them, several middle-aged actors even pushed aside their work to make time to study 'Thunderstorm'.

Everyone volunteered, saying that even if they couldn't play the lead, it would be fine to play a supporting role.

For several days in a row, Dean Tian truly enjoyed the treatment of being surrounded by fans without dead ends as an idol.

Not to mention the office that was crowded with people all the time, there were people coming to recommend roles inside and outside the door.

Even when he went to the cafeteria to eat, clearly he had just sat down with his meal tray in the previous second, and in the next second, he could see the three remaining seats at the four-person table being occupied by others instantly.

"Dean, do you think I can play the role of Zhou Puyuan?"

"Dean, I have read 'Thunderstorm' five times recently, can you give me a chance to play the role of Si Feng..."

"Old Tian, you know my level, how about I serve as the co-director of this play?"

The most outrageous thing is that when Dean Tian was squatting in the toilet, he could hear the voice coming from the next stall.

"Dean, what a coincidence, I didn't expect us to be toilet buddies, would you consider me playing the role of Zhou Ping?!"

Hearing this, Dean Tian's expression couldn't help but twist.

Won't these people ever finish?!

How could they not even let him go to the toilet?!

After being blocked for several days in a row, Dean Tian finally decided to adopt the basic mode of actor audition.

This is the opening big play of the International Theatre Season, of course, it must be based on strength.

As soon as the notice was issued, by the day of the audition, all one hundred active actors of the National Theatre of China came.

This is a script written personally by Mr. Ye Xuan.

Such rumors have long spread in the industry.

Produced by Ye Xuan, it must be a boutique.

As an insider, who doesn't want to get involved with Ye Xuan?!

If you can play a character in Ye Xuan's script, wouldn't you have a natural close relationship with Ye Xuan?

Holding such an idea, all actors showed their best state.

The atmosphere in the performance room was tense from the moment they entered the door.

After all, everyone present was a competitor.

After Dean Tian, as the person in charge of 'Thunderstorm', went through the audition process, almost everyone straightened their backs.

As Dean Tian announced the start of the audition, all the actors of the National Theatre of China showed their magical powers.

"I want to play the role of Zhou Puyuan."

Tang Guoqiang, who has become a dedicated actor for national dramas, also didn't intend to let go of the good script 'Thunderstorm'.

Zhang Fengyi, who has worked at the National Theatre of China for nearly thirty years, also joined the audition.

"I also want to try Zhou Puyuan..."

Just for the role of the protagonist Zhou Puyuan, more than ten actors competed.

The intensity of the competition for other roles was no less.

"The role I want to audition for is Shiping." Yuan Quan, who specifically asked for leave from the crew, also participated in the audition.

Besides that, Ning Jing, who is quite picky about scripts, was also determined to get the role in it after reading 'Thunderstorm'.

"The role I want to play is Fan Yi, I think this role is tailor-made for me..."

The intense audition lasted for three whole days, and finally the most suitable actors were selected.

After that, the rehearsal of 'Thunderstorm' was carried out against time.

One month passed in a flash, and the time gradually approached the start of the International Theatre Season.

As the host of this International Theatre Season, the National Theatre of China, in collaboration with the China-Foreign Cultural Exchange Center, was busy entertaining well-known theatre troupes from all over the world.

The first to arrive at Yanjing Airport was the Royal Theatre Troupe from the John Bull country.

The person in charge, Jim, is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a head of shoulder-length blonde hair, his eyes revealing coldness and arrogance, and even his swinging hair seemed to carry arrogance.

"Mr. Tian, I am very much looking forward to your opening big play this time, I hope this time you won't be at the bottom like the last session..."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Dean Tian's face stalled.

Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned.

The last International Theatre Season happened to be held in London.

Compared with the fire of the Royal Theatre Troupe, the performance of the National Theatre of China representing China last time can be described as a bleak ending.

Counting it all up, the occupancy rate was less than 50%.

This Mr. Jim in front of him clearly looks down on the theatre level of China!

"We will definitely not live up to your expectations."

After squeezing out such a sentence through gritted teeth, Dean Tian showed the bearing of a host and suppressed the anger in his chest.

Following the arrival of the Royal Theatre Troupe from the John Bull country in Yanjing, well-known theatre troupes from other countries also arrived one after another.

"Tian-san, I heard the name of your performance this time is 'Thunderstorm'?! It won't be like the past where even the plot is nonsense, right?"

Watching the person in charge of the Suzuki Theatre Troupe from the island country mention the previous jokes of Chinese theatre as soon as he opened his mouth, the expressions of Dean Tian and several reception staff changed slightly.

"Mr. Suzuki, there is an old Chinese saying, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river."

Dean Tian's unfinished meaning is simple and direct.

Never look down on anyone.

The person you look down on today might be the god you can't afford to offend tomorrow.

However, Dean Tian's righteous demeanor fell into the eyes of the person in charge of the Suzuki Theatre Troupe opposite, but triggered a burst of ridicule.

"Tian-san, the theatre level cannot be improved as soon as you want to improve it."

As theatre troupes from various countries arrived in Yanjing one after another, the reception staff of the entire National Theatre of China had accumulated a belly of anger.

"Who are you looking down on?!"

"Do you really think we are the us from before?!"

"This arrogance is too much, right?!"

Watching the staff in the entire conference room filled with indignation, Dean Tian, who was sitting in the first seat, only felt a continuous fighting spirit surging in his chest.

"Next, let them see our opening big play." ===== CHAPTER 530 =====
