Hi guys~
How's break? having a relax time?
Well, i know that we started a bit late than we expected but i realized i created my group at different place :P

Oh well, now i want to talk about our topics,
1.The other woman
2.Seeking comfort
3.Uncomfortable encounter in a bar

The main characters in total are
Zhang Liang, Lili and Liu Xiang.

It is obvious that Zhang Liang and Lili was
in a relationship and they got break up because Zhang Liang was so busy doing his work, did not satisfy Lili.
However, Lili seems to go out with Liu xiang who was her ex boyfriend.

In this topics, i realized there are many words 'zenme zheme'. I thought this was may be
to emphasize on the character's stress and
confusion especially when friend of Zhang Liang found out Lili with Liu xiang.

I will post again later how we could perform
best at appropriate level of understading and
performances. Okay, cheers guys.

Hi, Jessica and Milissa☆★

yes, there are quite lots of "shenme", emphasising their emotion so our performance may have to be more emotinal compared to other stories, haha

It was so interesting read the whole script so I could read it so quickly!!

It is sad the final relationship between Zhang Liang and Lili but most of the women choose richer men, I think, hah

I realized that we should pay attention to Zhang Liang's part becasue it's got more than other parts. We fotunately can divide the parts equally.

Anyway, we will discuss it soon probably tomorrow☆★

★Good Night☆

Hi guys~

Firstly, "The other woman"

Lili gave a call to Zhang Liang's phone but he didn't answered. Lili contacted to Zhang Liang's office.The woman who is Zhang's co-worker answered and Zhang Liang explained why his phone was off, but Lili hung up the phone. This is the story.
I think Lili was upset about the woman not because Zhang Liang was so busy. Also Lili heard that the woman and zhang liang was laughing.
I understand how Lili was unpleasant but she didn't even want to listen to Zhang Liang, she thought what he told her was just an excuse.

"Seeking comfort"

Lili says to Liu Xiang that she broke up with Zhang Liang. Liu Xiang wants to get together with Lili.
From the beginning of the dialogue Liu Xiang says "ni gen bieren ke bu yiyang" expressing that he still loves Lili. At the beginning Lili shows that how she is sad but at the end of the dialogue she feels fine because of Liu xiang's consolation.
Also she notices that Liu Xiang wants to be with her.

"Uncomfortable encounter in a bar"

i think this dialogue is the most interesting one. Zhang Liang ,Lili and her new boyfriend meet in a bar coincidentally. Zhenhua who is Zhang Liang's friend fighting with Liu Xiang.
In this dialogue there are 4 characters. Jess is doing Zhang Liang and Emi is Liu xiang, so
do i have to do Zhang Liang's friend? if i do Lili and Zhang's friend there are so many parts to perform.
how can we divide the parts equally? Lets discuss about it ~

Hello~ i went to the morning class today so couldn't meet you guys-

i've listened the dialogues thoroughly again. There are many of 'zenme zheme' , 'shenme?' which stressing the characters emotions as Jess said.    We need to pay attention to the tones of these phrases. It is important to sound the tones clearly.

The situations and the characters are all very emotional so need to concentrate on each characters emotion.                             I found some of the tones are difficult to pronounce fluently such as 'yuanjialuzhai', 'siren shijian', also there are many of new words,  have to listen and practice speaking many times to be familiar with them~

yes, I am wondering too. There are 4 parts to be perfomed in the dialogue. and I've found that it is quite difficult to do that with us, only 3 people because all parts have to perform at nearly same time. Maybe better to change the dialogue for 3 performers or...i don't know. But this dialogue will be good with 4 performers otherwise cannot describe the emotional story....uum...or let's try to swap the performers quickly....

anyway, we again have to discuss about it!

and also as Jessica said that there are lots of new words we should pracitce together and make sure we can pronounce correctly.

Hi guys~ since we have divided our part, i guess we can focus on our each character's role & emotions.

As three topics are very emotional topics, not only it's important to pronounce them properly but to act as we are really Zhang Liang, Lili and Liu xiang and other characters.

After i heard the recording several times, most of the play, i guess characters speaking in a high tone because they are high-tempered at many situations.

For example, in the 'Other Women', Lili speaks in very high-tempered and stressed voices when other women picked up his phone.                               

And as we discussed about the use of zenme zheme and shenme, characters are expect to hear reasons.

Okay let's start to memorizing a bit by bit focusing on the pronounciation and later we can get together and start to perfrom as a real situation.

Have a good weekend! :-D

How you guys the performance proctice??

I am struggling to memorize them...(;-;)

In "The Other Woman", I am only doing 録音 and 張亮's co-worker so would be fine, but especially "Seeking Comfort", I am doing 張亮 so it will be a difficult performance...

Anyway, we only have a week to go so let's focus on this and make a good drama!!
