my gilded age

Chapter 76: Deceiving a 'big drama festival'

The street of Wangfujing is really quite prosperous. At this moment, when the lights are on, there is a man and a woman, holding cigarettes in their mouths and looking at the luxury cars going by.

"Are you afraid?"

"What am I afraid of?"

"You're afraid of Zhou Shen, you're afraid that your friendship will end."

"I'm afraid he'll do something stupid. We're already buddies, so what the hell is going to happen."

"Haha... Bai Shiqiu, you, do you dare to say that you have never thought of me?"

"Me? I, I'm thinking about the sheep."

"sheep?!"

Faced with Tang Wei's advances, Bai Shiqiu chose to ramble.

Bai Shiqiu could tell that Tang Wei was very ambitious. Her appearance was indeed very artistic, but she still couldn't hide it.

"Hahaha..." After hearing the sheep, Tang Wei went from being ignorant to laughing, "You coward, what a bullshit sheep, this just confirms what I said, you are just afraid, you are not only afraid of Zhou Shen, you are also afraid of me ,Ha ha……"

A very literary beauty, pinching a cigarette with two fingers and talking to a handsome guy like this, under normal circumstances, this handsome guy should respond very strongly.

However, Bai Shiqiu did not say at this time, "Let's be reasonable, why should I be afraid?"

But Tang Wei did not answer the question. She suddenly said: "Admit it, Bai Shiqiu, in fact, we are the same kind of people, and we should be together."

Bai Shiqiu was shocked by these sudden words. She smiled and said, "Sister, you are using too much force to confess like this. We have only known each other for a few days? Do you understand me?"

Tang Wei took a puff of cigarette, and then said: "Bai Shiqiu, the most popular figure in the 00-level Chinese opera, ranked first in professional courses, and also made his own play, made a movie before going to school, and then won an award in Berlin. These Is it okay?"

Bai Shiqiu laughed after hearing this, "When you say that, it seems like I'm really awesome."

Tang Wei glanced at him, and then sprayed a stream of 'fairy energy' on his face, "I must admit that you are really awesome, at least among our classmates, you are too outstanding. But now it seems that you Guy...hehe..."

"I have a girlfriend." Bai Shiqiu had no choice but to say.

"Didn't Feng Ru go abroad?" Tang Wei didn't care.

"Then...it still exists."

"Is it that Akagi Haruko? The one named Yuanyuan? She is not suitable for you at all."

"How are you so sure?"

"You can tell at a glance that you are much better than her."

At this point, Bai Shiqiu was really embarrassed, because he knew what kind of star Yuanyuan would be in the future. Although her acting skills were indeed not good and she had no successful works, she was indeed very popular.

You can't talk about these things.

Seeing that Bai Shiqiu was silent, Tang Wei said again: "I have been observing you for a long time. At first, I thought you were a person who was paranoid about drama, just like that Yuan Hong. He always does everything for a drama. All invested. But later I discovered that you are basically..."

"Yuan Hong?" Bai Shiqiu couldn't help but interrupt when he heard the name.

"Yeah, the guy who worked on "Che Guevara" wasn't even a director, but he was super passionate about the play. It was like a madman who put all of himself into the play. Let's put it this way, if you follow him Bi, I think you, Bai Shiqiu, are too complicated, and Yuan Hong is just like a child."

Literature and art, indeed very literature and art, is what Tang Wei's answer feels like.

But Bai Shiqiu is not a literary person. He is more straightforward and direct, "We are not in a hurry about the matter between you and me. Anyway, I hope you can think about it again. And that Yuan Hong, I would like to meet , Classmate Tang Wei, can you help me?"

"you……"

Tang Wei's heart almost collapsed at this time. He was such a tall and pretty beauty in front of Bai Shiqiu, but this guy was actually interested in a man.

What the hell is going on?

Of course Bai Shiqiu didn't know what Tang Wei was thinking, but he really wanted to meet the man named Yuan Hong.

Beibingmasi Hutong is actually an alley north of the Central Theater Company. There is a small theater here, which belongs to the Aviation Technology Company. Yuan Hong and I made an appointment to meet at a nearby snack bar. The previous "Che Guevara" was also performed here.

"Bai Shiqiu? Oh, I've wanted to see you for a long time."

"Hello, Mr. Yuan Hong."

"No more sir, I'm older, just call me Brother Yuan."

"Okay, Brother Yuan, please call me Lao Bai."

Tang Wei, who was the middle man, really felt bored with the chat between the two of them at this time, especially he was angry with Lao Bai, and besides, there was Brother Yuan and Lao Bai, what kind of seniority did they have.

At this time, Yuan Hong, just as Tang Wei said, his obsession with drama made him devote everything he had to it. Judging from his clothes, he looked like the 70s. Anyway, if it were not specially introduced, it would be difficult to I believe this man is the producer of several experimental plays.

It seems that I have lost a lot of money...

"Brother Yuan likes theater so much, shouldn't we do something?"

"Old Bai, you are very popular now. I have also watched "Lu Deshui". It's great! You have made a lot of money, right?"

"Brother Yuan, we are all people who pursue art. Talking about money is too boring."

"Old Bai, what you said is right. Don't talk about money, just talk about art."

"Well, Brother Yuan, I have an idea. Can we make a big one?"

"What's big?"

"How about we have a theater festival?"

"what?"

Theater festival?Why would Bai Shiqiu do such a thing?
It's very simple. Bai Shiqiu has heard of Yuan Hong because of one thing, the College Student Drama Festival, or the Great Drama Festival for short.

The Grand Theater Festival was originally an experimental theater festival, and the location was very interesting. It was in the small theater of the Aviation Technology Company, and that small theater later became the North Theater of China National Theater.The name sounds like a grand opera festival, and it is very impressive, but if you come to Beibingmasi Hutong, you will immediately feel that it is too small, because this alley is too narrow and it is difficult for cars to get in.

Moreover, there is no major theater festival yet. Bai Shiqiu has heard that even in the next few festivals, it is not very famous. It can be said that the management is bleak, especially later, the Beijing Theater was taken over by the China Theater Company, and he, Yuan Hong, made a lot of money. shouted.

However, Bai Shiqiu was different. He already had a big plan in mind.

"Okay! Since you, Lao Bai, dare to do a big business, I absolutely didn't say anything. I support you!"

"That's great. With Brother Yuan's help, we're almost done for this section."

"Well, what's the name?"

"How about calling it the College Student Drama Festival?"

"Okay! That's a good name!"

After all, Yuan Hong has been in the theater circle for a long time. He has a lot of connections. He said that the first play Tang Wei performed was actually "Dream Like a Dream" by Lai Shengchuan, the father of Taiwanese drama. However, it was not an official play. performance.At that time, Yuan Hong was accompanying Lai Shengchuan, and he also knew many famous directors.

As for Lai Shengchuan, he has been coming to the mainland in recent years. Later, his career focus was basically no longer in Taiwan. His character is much better than Dai's.

Yuan Hong is very capable, and this can help Bai Shiqiu.

"What are you going to do?" But Tang Wei really couldn't understand.

"A drama festival." Bai Shiqiu was very sincere.

"You, can't you tell the truth?"

"I'm telling the truth."

Bai Shiqiu laughed in the end. Really, everything he said was the truth.He really wants to run a theater festival, but he won't run it in such a dismal way.

Next, Bai Shiqiu did a lot of things.

A month later, Bai Shiqiu came up with a script, which was the task assigned by Teacher Chang before, to deal with the play of the Oriental Arts Festival.

""He Killed"? Adapted from the Yan Ruisheng case?" Teacher Chang read this script first, and he just thought that Bai Shiqiu was really talented, and he came up with it so quickly.

At first, I didn't think there was anything wrong, but after looking at it, Teacher Chang really wanted to impress his student, but after thinking about it, he had better stop it, otherwise this kid's tail would be up in the air.

"I think the book is average, but in the end I still have to pass the test of the superiors. In addition..."

Bai Shiqiu immediately answered, "Teacher, I have an idea, I don't know if I can share it."

"Let's talk."

"It's very simple. Isn't this time to participate in the Oriental Art Festival? Let me tell you, it's better to select more materials. For example, let a lot of dramas be gathered together and do experimental performances in one place. Ask drama experts Experts, friends from the media, and the audience all came to criticize. If yes, we will hand it over and let the leaders decide. If it is not good, we will eliminate it. I think this kind of activity should be called The Drama Festival, or since we are all newcomers, why not call it the 'College Student Drama Festival', what do you think?"

After hearing this, Teacher Chang felt like he had fallen into a trap, as if the hole had been dug for a long time, "Have you thought about it a long time ago?"

"Isn't our "He Kill" just to not lose the face of our being in the drama? There was a drama festival before that, and many experts said that our drama was good, so even if it didn't beat "Hurry Up" later, Don’t we gain face by being in the show?”

"You are really a thief." Teacher Chang really tried to open up Bai Shiqiu's brain to see what kind of structure it was, but he still held back, "How are we going to do this college student drama festival?"

"Of course the school takes the lead, let's do it!" Bai Shiqiu slapped his chest.

"Don't you want to spend money? It's very difficult to ask the school to pay for it."

"It's spent! But it doesn't cost the school."

"Then...Bai Shiqiu, I don't believe you will spend your money in vain doing this."

"Hehehehe... Teacher Chang, you have to let me see some benefits, right? I have made contributions to the Chinese Opera, and I am loyal. Also, Teacher Chang, if you are free, come and be a judge. how?"

"Oh, this, it's very close anyway. As long as it doesn't delay teaching, I'll go and have a look."

Bai Shiqiu finally laughed, just like Teacher Chang said, chicken thief.

If we were to organize a college student drama festival, wouldn't it be great if Chinese operas came out to endorse it?

But, how can Bai Shiqiu benefit?
After passing the book "He Killed", he went to find Mr. Chen Peisi Chen, and we just...

Teacher Chen immediately agreed and gave a thumbs up.

After that, he approached Manager Zhang from the Capital Theater.

"Manager Zhang, let's put it this way, if I have a lot of good plays, how about bringing them to your place to perform?"

"Real or fake? It's so easy to do a good show?" Manager Zhang definitely didn't believe it.

“It’s definitely good, the quality is nothing to say.”

"I don't believe it." Manager Zhang's head was like a rattle.

"In this way, what if there are teachers from the theater circle who evaluate the play and say it is good? What if there are media reporters and they say the play is good? What if the audience also says it is good?"

"How is it possible? Will there be many?"

"Listen to me, I have now organized a college student drama festival. This is how the festival is organized. Our Chinese Opera takes the lead and is planned by Yuan Hong, a well-known producer in the industry. The judges include our famous professors from Chinese Opera. Taiwan The father of drama Lai Shengchuan, the director of "Che Guevara" Zhang Hongtian, plus the strong support of Aviation Technology Company, and the special attention of Teacher Chen Peisi and Chen..."

"Huo ah... Huo ah... Huo ah..."

Manager Zhang seemed to see that many tickets had been sold!

And what about Bai Shiqiu?
Damn it, it’s easy for me after I’ve been deceived for so long.
