【Xiao He's "Twelve Mirrors" - Breaking News】
【Xiao He plays twelve different roles, a revelation】
There were no fancy praises, no random suggestive remarks, only pure popularity and the word "explosive" following these entries.
Whether it was viewers in the live stream or those at the venue, the first thing they discussed after the birthday party was this stage play.
Nobody believed in him, but he proved them wrong.
【That was awesome! This was Xiao Ge's peak acting moment. Who else in the industry can seamlessly switch between twelve roles? Step forward and challenge me! I'm standing right here tonight, let's see who dares to challenge me.】
【Dude, how can he be so amazing? He really played all twelve roles in one take? And without changing clothes, without makeup, and even just sitting in a chair? How did Xiao He dare to do that? This was a one-shot film! Does he really believe he can do it?】
【Nothing more to say, Brother Xiao is just showing off his skills, completely dominating his competitors. In short, awesome!】
【Am I the only one who absolutely loved the stage performance of "The Twelve Mirrors"? The final scene where all twelve personalities looked in the mirror was truly chilling.】
The original version of *The Twelve Mirrors* had a ground mechanism where the mirrors could rotate, but it's clear this stage can't achieve that effect. However, using light and shadow to change the characters on stage is a viable solution. And Xiao He's acting is truly superb; the impact after watching it is no less than the original.
【Wow, that big shot who saw the original at the opera house is also giving his opinion? But I didn't expect that big shot also watched Xiao He's birthday party livestream?】
【The birthday party livestream was free to watch, so why can't I? Besides, ever since I watched Xiao He's version of "The Twelve-Sided Mirror," I've decided to become a fan of Xiao He. Xiao He is awesome!】
【Has Little Box Fans gained another epic hero? Interesting.】
【Does anyone have a recording? Does anyone have a recording? My child was dragged to a family dinner by his family and missed the live stream. Now he just wants to find a place to swing on a swing. Can anyone help my poor child?】
【You can find the recorded video at @XiaoHeFanClub; it should already be uploaded there. There will be a copy of both the live and the live version.】
Wow, thank you so much, kind person!
There has been a lot of discussion about this birthday party online, and most of it is about "The Twelve Mirrors", especially the stage performance clip of Xiao He seamlessly connecting the twelve personalities, which directly topped the Bilibili trending list.
That night, anyone who opened Bilibili was sure to see Xiao He's birthday party performance!
The bloggers went even further, taking advantage of the rare tail end of the Spring Festival holiday traffic, they worked overtime overnight to write and edit articles, and began to analyze the entire stage performance of "Twelve Mirrors" frame by frame as well as the appreciation of Xiao He's acting skills.
This is considered standard practice for these entertainment «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» bloggers.
As expected, Xiao He received praise and cheers from the audience.
"Holy crap, it really is a person!"
Lin Yipeng reached out and pinched Xiao He's face, but Xiao He slapped her away impatiently: "I'm the real person, not a ninja, so I can't just conjure up twelve clones."
"Sigh, I suddenly regret it."
Lin Yipeng suddenly began to regret it, "I shouldn't have just asked you to invest; I should have just kidnapped you to play the lead role in my movie."
Original protagonist Pu Rong: ?
Hey, when you guys are talking about this, could you please keep it a secret from someone?
He's still here!!!
Xiao He couldn't help but chuckle: "Forget it, Director Lin, you should take a look back at your male lead first, or he might put a sack over your head when you go out."
Lin Yipeng turned her head and, as expected, met Pu Rong's gaze.
He then shrugged knowingly, "I was just kidding."
On the other side, Shu Han looked at the grand scene and a hint of melancholy appeared on his face.
His agent, He Wenming, walked over from the side and stood beside him.
Seeing the commotion over there, he seemed to understand where Shu Han's sadness came from: "What? Were you shocked by Xiao He's performance?"
Shu Han smiled helplessly, his eyes full of self-mockery: "I really am getting old, and I can't keep up with the young people at all."
Previously, he and Xiao He were able to compete for roles together, with equally good acting skills. The only difference was their understanding of the script. But now?
Performing twelve personalities on stage in one go?
Xiao He dared, but he didn't.
Xiao He could reach it, but he could no longer do it.
Before anyone knew it, the young man's acting skills had improved to a new level, leaving his former rival far behind...
After watching Xiao He's performance on stage, Shu Han even felt his spirits deflate for a moment.
Sometimes, people strive and work hard, and all they need is that willpower.
Once one's spirits are broken, one is essentially ruined, with a bleak future.
Fortunately, remembering that Xiao He was an artist brought up by Liu Rulan, and that Xiao He was also the boss of his company, Shu Han managed to hold back his anger.
Getting up close to Xiao He and witnessing his progress can really shatter one's Dao heart...
Shu Han shook his head, then turned to He Wenming and said, "Let's go back first."
He Wenming glanced over there: "Aren't you going to say hello?"
"No need, they seem quite busy."
Shu Han said.
"Um."
He Wenming then quietly left with Shu Han.
However, on the way back to Shanghai, He Wenming suddenly said to Shu Han, "If it were He Jinnian, he would be glad too."
Shu Han was stunned for a moment, not yet realizing what He Wenming meant by those words, but then he understood and turned to look at He Wenming.
He Jinnian, a former artist of He Wenming, was already one of the top actors in China before his career transition. He had won numerous awards both at home and abroad and had achieved many accomplishments, making him a leading figure in the acting industry.
But He Wenming said that He Jinnian would also be grateful.
What's there to be thankful for?
What's there to be thankful for...?
Shu Han fell into a long silence.
"Perhaps..."
I am glad that I have transformed myself. I am glad that I no longer need to compete on the same stage with such a talented and amazing actor. I no longer need to fight against such an actor. I no longer need to feel despair or even have my Dao heart shattered because of my "standing still".
That young man is simply a monster.
That night, how many people watched that stage performance video, marveling at the performer's talent, and then tossing and turning, unable to sleep all night?
