was doing some calculation this afternoon n concluded that
1) we got many students (as per mk's blog)
2) we got as many sheng as dans
3) old sheng is an unpopular role.
our no. 1 old sheng's place is unshakeable with richard in place. he is like the pillar of old sheng role. no one, temporary, can replace him. well... maybe not because his skills is so gd tat he is irreplaceable but maybe its an unpopular role tat no one bothered to 'snatch' from him. nowadays, this old sheng is thinking of switching to xiao sheng.
as per mk, dlq is also another well-liked old sheng but i think she is more like part time old sheng.
there is another old sheng, zhenqin but temporary retired. well... dont expect him to do xiao sheng also.
the roles in my record are mainly soldiers, servants and a coffin seller which is an extra. so i dont consider them as a 'proper' role cos mainly dont have any speech. if yes, it will be only 1 line or 2.
the only role i had performed so far is the prince uncle role in ren min theatre.
1st scene: marriage, xiao sheng. the rest, lao sheng with 100 kids. omg.. lao sheng again.
teacher wanted me to learn the old king role which richard did in iran and mlj's premier's role of zq. this yr cny, i was talking to yh n teacher to let me do huangfu shaohua instead although i prefer to do the emperor. hahaa
well, at least for yu niang, she told me to do a mid-age general with 2 infants. ok lah. can consider as xiao sheng.
if doing tat role, i hoping to wear lin zi, juz like zhou yu.
no matter if lao sheng or xiao sheng, i will work hard but after my exam... sian...
