my gilded age

Chapter 77 Bai Shiqiu, a good student in Chinese opera

Time has entered April, the capital is already full of spring, and the students have been studying in school for a while, but a piece of news has spread.

"College Student Theater Festival?"

"Is it reliable?"

"I heard that China Theater Company took the lead in doing this, so it should be reliable."

"But going to the theater? Who goes to the theater these days?"

"It should be a drama, there must be someone, isn't Peking Opera still being sung?"

"That's called the quintessence of the nation, do you understand it?"

The news of the college student drama festival has already spread. The major colleges and universities in the capital are now on the bulletin boards, and sometimes people come to hand out flyers.

Drama, stage plays and dramas, are indeed a bit cold at the moment, but there are still many fans, especially many artistic young people in schools. Therefore, such a stage where you can show yourself, those flyers have said, Our college student drama festival will last for ten days in September, and students who sign up to participate need to form their own theater troupe and simply make some props and costumes.

These are still very tempting, and many students who want to try them are tempted.

So what if you're not a professional?

In case the fire out.

But at this moment, inside the play, it was like a violent storm.

"What's going on!? What's going on? What college student drama festival? Who agreed? It's that Bai Shiqiu again! Didn't I say it before? Let this kid calm down for a while, what now?"

As the head of the performance department, Teacher Huang was furious and gathered the teachers in the department together for a meeting.

The theme of this meeting is to discuss how to deal with Bai Shiqiu.

Director Huang was really furious. Didn't he tell Bai Shiqiu to stop this guy before?Don't want to do anything else?
As a result, now that I have stopped acting, I have created some kind of drama festival?

This is hitting him in the face!
"Xiao Huang, why are you always staring at that Bai Shiqiu? What's wrong with you this time?" Teacher Chang came to protect the calf again at this time.

Director Huang knew that Teacher Chang would come forward, so he squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Old Chang, I don't know why this kid cares about you so much, but how can you defend him after what he is doing now? He How big a deal is it for him to swindle outside in the name of us being in a drama? What does he want to do!? What kind of approval is there for that theater festival? What are the procedures!?"

Teacher Chang smiled and said, "Isn't it easy to get approval for something like a drama festival? They created it by themselves. It's experimental at best. In fact, it can be regarded as a party. Why not? A bunch of students came out to act. You didn’t take to the streets? Even the police can’t control it, right? Xiao Huang, you have too much control.”

Teacher Chang was naturally angry at these words. Xiao Huang already called her Lao Chang, so how could she show any respect?
How can I say that I am a meritorious teacher? How many movie stars and actresses are there among my students?

Your boy is just very good at handling all aspects of relationships. You can send our students out so that they have work to do. Although this matter is important, your wings are not strong enough.

The two of them really competed with each other.

Director Huang immediately grasped the key point, "It doesn't matter what he wants to do, but why does he have to use the signboard of our Chinese opera? He is just a student of our acting department, what do the leaders above think about this?"

Teacher Chang did not show weakness, "Beibingmasi Hutong is the backstreet of our school. There is a drama festival so close to us. Are we blind? If we don't know about the drama festival, then this drama festival will have nothing to do with it." If there is any movement, what will others think of us?"

"Then you have to follow the system!"

"Our school didn't spend a penny! He just set up the table now. As for what happened, just say what he cheated or did something bad, but it hasn't happened yet, we have to decide now His sin?”

"It will be too late by then! I'm afraid we will all be doomed!"

"I believe in my student! Besides, why would he do something bad? He has a good future now. He can win awards as an actor, make money by rehearsing and selling plays, and his future is limitless. Why should he ruin himself?"

"That's not okay! Who allowed him to use our signature in the show?!"

The two of them were arguing and wanted to fight. They had their own reasons. The teachers didn't know what to do. But at this time, the atmosphere was full of gunpowder.

Someone came in, an old man with white hair.

"I agree!" With just such a word, Director Huang was silent at that time.

How can you be unhappy when you see Teacher Chang?
"Mr. Xu, why are you here?"

"If I didn't come, how could I see someone in this performance department showing such great authority!"

This Mr. Xu is now the honorary principal of China National Theater, Mr. Xu Xiaozhong. Everyone knows that the so-called honorary principal takes a back seat when he gets older. He used to be the first.Then when he appeared, he said this.

All the teachers present understood that Mr. Chang played hard.

Still thinking about it?

Teacher Chang had informed Mr. Xu a long time ago that there would probably be no problem with using the name of Chinese Opera for the College Student Drama Festival. In fact, it was not a big deal in the first place. The students would organize their own drama festival, which was experimental in nature. It's just a school name, and the school doesn't pay for it. There's nothing wrong with that. If nothing else, there aren't many companies with Peking University, Tsinghua University, etc.?Those are all businesses.

And I didn't tell Director Huang about this matter... It's a great move.

Director Huang immediately understood that he was defeated, but he was also a powerful person, and he immediately changed his face, "Mr. Xu, you may not know the details of this matter. That Bai Shiqiu, he is..."

Before Director Huang could finish speaking, Mr. Xu immediately interrupted him, "Why don't I know? Let me tell you, Xiao Huang, I know everything, and not only me, Comrade Yongde, Comrade Guofu, they all know too. What’s wrong with this matter? What’s wrong with drama now? Where are there any festivals and competitions in this area? Now a student came out to do this, what’s wrong with that? Especially Bai Shiqiu, I want to praise him well! This classmate emancipated his mind and made bold innovations. Does this conform to the principles of our reform and opening up? And he didn’t wait or rely, didn’t he ask for a penny from the school? Did he ask the country for a penny? ?He is a student of our Central Academy of Drama. Doesn’t he always carry the signboard of our Central Academy of Drama when he goes out? Not to mention that he is still in school, he just graduated. What did he do? Besides, this is clearly a good thing, so why not support it!?"

Having reached this point, Director Huang is not an idiot. He immediately admitted his mistake and said that he didn't know enough and just felt that it seemed to be in conflict with the system.

Don't tell me, this Xiao Huang can be the director and he can adapt very quickly. If he talks like this, who can punish him?
But Teacher Xu Xu Dapao was listening, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face, and what he was thinking in his heart.

If Bai Shiqiu was also present at this time, and this boy heard Mr. Xu praising him like this, wouldn't this boy's tail reach the sky?

Although Director Huang was not punished in this game, he lost face greatly and may not have a good life in the future. Teacher Chang won a great victory. Of course, she is also old and may not have much understanding of power. It's too much to ask for, but at least Xiao Huang doesn't dare to cause trouble anymore.

Finally, Mr. Xu said: "I think this college student drama festival has great potential. I will definitely report it to the superior leaders. We should pay attention to it."

As soon as he said this, all the teachers knew clearly that the drama festival was probably about to start.

But Bai Shiqiu, who is at the center of the whirlpool, really doesn't know about these changes.

"Old Bai, why do you think your kid is organizing a drama festival?"

"Yes, Lao Bai, what can we gain from this drama festival? I'm not trying to gain money, but Lao Bai, are you really the kind of person who gives selflessly?"

Bai Shiqiu and the others were rehearsing the new play, "He Killed". During the break in rehearsal, Zhang Mo and Zhou Shen pestered Bai Shiqiu about the drama festival.

Faced with this problem, Bai Shiqiu was really speechless, because in his opinion, this was such a simple thing.

Forget it, in that case, let's explain it.

"You two, think carefully, how much money can I spend on this theater festival? That small theater is not expensive, right? Promotional planning, this guy Yuan Hong did all this, handing out flyers, right? And the effect is What? There are so many students in the capital, major famous schools, and young talents from all over the world. How can there be no drama talents? I will give you a rough result, the most conservative one, ten plays will participate in our drama festival. Among them, there are our China National Theater and Beijing Film and Television, to name the least, there are three dramas that have been favored by experts and media reporters. Let’s help these three dramas so that they can perform at the Capital Theater, okay?”

"This..." Zhang Mo and Zhou Shen still didn't get around.

Bai Shiqiu was about to film them, but he held it back and said, "Isn't this drama festival a good publicity? And we have put in so much effort and helped them so much. We can go to the Capital Theater to perform, and we can also There are a lot of viewers, so let’s take 5% of the box office, isn’t it a lot?”

not much? !
Zhang Mo and Zhou Shen suddenly realized this and thought at the same time.

Lao Bai, you are so dark...

　Thank you Xingchen Ruya, thank you all for your support, thank you!

　　Well, Hei Che went out to have a small gathering with classmates. I'm a little late, sorry.

　　Please add it to your collection and recommend it. Thank you very much.
