A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

There are also gaps between experts.

There is also a gap between university professors.

Although university professors have extensive theoretical research knowledge, they know everything from astronomy to geography.

But this is like the teacher who teaches you how to start a business has never started a business, and the teacher who teaches you how to trade stocks cannot make you rich. Although the theoretical knowledge is awesome, a considerable number of professors in universities are like this -

You can learn it once you learn it, but you can’t do it once you do it.

Some people are born to teach and educate rather than create.

Are they actually more suitable for paper talk?
Some people, although they are mediocre in their learning, are really talented in practice.

Astonishing!

At this moment, Jiang Hai might be more of this kind of person?
"No, Senior Sister, what's wrong?" Jiang Hai was completely confused by Xiao Linyu's flustered look, "What's the matter that's so urgent?"

"Even if it's Teacher Tao looking for me, there's no need to panic."

Xiao Linyu held Jiang Hai's hand, suddenly stopped, then turned around and looked at him seriously:
"It's not just Teacher Tao who's looking for you, it's also Principal Fang."

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that a student who was also a beginner in drama would have such a——

Shocked?

Under the stage, Fang Zhenguo, the president of Chenghai Drama Academy, and the deans, professors, and teachers who had come to watch the play from the school were sitting in their seats, staring at the play on the stage in disbelief, their eyes filled with a terrifying look:

“The Yangtze River’s waves behind push the waves ahead. It is true that the young are to be feared.”

Frankly speaking, the main force in the selection of this year's Cao Yu Drama Literature Award was not students like Jiang Hai at all.

Rather, it is the group of professors and teachers in the college who are authorities in the field of drama.

Unexpectedly, the drama scripts presented during this period did not give people too many surprises, as the authoritative professors had originally expected them to do.

On the contrary, students like Jiang Hai give them more surprises?
Regardless of other things, from the stage performance of "The Injustice of Dou E", if we want to use one sentence to describe the feeling this drama gives people, it can only be:

"Like a demon slayer from heaven, truly a Tai Sui God on earth, this "The Injustice of Dou E" -"

"nice!"

Russian playwright Anton Chekhov once said:

“A good play must be a process of constantly questioning life, and a process of constantly pursuing the meaning and truth of life. A good play can connect with reality, encourage the audience to participate in social life, and even bring about changes in the world.”

"The Injustice of Dou E" written by Jiang Hai perfectly fits this passage?
From the perspective of the entire drama.

The positive and negative structure pushes the dramatic conflict to a climax, with a tight rhythm and a good balance between tension and relaxation.

Whether it is the positive characters in the play, Dou E, Cai Po, Dou Tianzhang, or the negative characters in the play, the prefect, Zhang Lu'er and his son, the personality characteristics of these positive and negative characters in the play -

Extremely vivid!

Extremely fascinating!

Love makes people sad and regretful.

It's so hateful that it makes people grit their teeth!
Especially in the play, the tragic character Dou E was wrongly imprisoned and ordered to be executed by the prefect. Before the execution, Dou E, filled with grief and indignation, stood in front of the execution platform and made three vows:

"Blood splashes on white silk, snow falls in June, and drought lasts for three years."

Three oaths, every word is heart-breaking!
Three vows, all fulfilled!
Even though Principal Fang Zhengguo had seen a lot of ups and downs and thought he was as strong as a rock, he witnessed Dou E being unjustly executed.

My eyes also turned red.
Drama, this kind of thing is to watch live, when the actors stand on the stage, with tears in their eyes, shouting:
"I, Dou E, was wronged"

The atmosphere of powerlessness and grief immediately infected the whole audience.
The entire stage was covered with flying snow, and on the stage, goose feathers as white as snow could be seen everywhere.

When Dou E's dazzling and eye-catching blood was spilled on the white silk and on the snow.

This scene is so beautiful!
This scene is also very painful!

I witnessed with my own eyes the story of Dou E, a brave woman who was devoted to goodness but was eventually killed by the collusion between the government and the bad guys, and her head and body were separated.

When I witnessed this scene with my own eyes.

At the scene, many audience members had tears in their eyes:
“It’s so miserable”

It’s hard to believe that such a powerful dramatic conflict could have come from the hands of a newcomer?
It is hard to believe that this folk drama, which is a masterpiece of tragedy, actually...
Could it be written by a student like Jiang Hai?
In the "The Injustice of Dou E" written by Jiang Hai, we can't even see any trace of a new screenwriter?

He has an extremely sophisticated control over rhythm and dramatic tension!

Loosen where necessary.

Tighten where it needs to be tight.

It’s not so addictive, but at least it’s fun throughout!
The whole drama "The Injustice of Dou E" is divided into seven acts, namely "Telling a Dream", "Yesterday's Love Dream", "Sorrow and Tears", "Homesickness", "The Moon Passing Through the Well", "Sleep Paralysis" and "The Flying Lawyer".

When the final scene of [The Flying Lawyer] came to an end.

Suddenly, I couldn't suppress my emotions anymore.

The female teacher from the drama academy took out a handkerchief from her bag unconsciously, sobbed and wiped her tears while exclaiming excitedly:
“This play is so well-staged.”

A drama can make the professors, teachers, deans and even the president of a university have red eyes or even tears.

This appeal is so strong that even if we look at the entire drama world——

It is also extremely rare!

After he cleared up his depressed emotions, President Fang Zhenguo turned his head and looked at Ye Jingming, the Dean of the School of Drama and Literature, beside him after he finished his announcement.

"Dean Ye, what do you think of this play?"

As if he had not yet come out of the sad and angry atmosphere at the scene, Ye Jingming was stunned for a long while, then he turned his head and looked at Fang Zhengguo beside him.

There wasn't much talk.

He uttered one word very solemnly:

"it is good."

In terms of rank, the dean of a university is a deputy director-level cadre.

Although there is no comparison in terms of power, in terms of rank, the president of a key university and the mayor of a local county are indeed at the same level.

In the field of domestic drama, Ye Jingming is definitely an authority among authorities.

Whether it is the famous "White Deer Plain" in the field of drama, or the well-received "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "The Secret History of Kangxi" in the field of film and television, these are all his representative works.

How sharp is the vision of such an authority in the field of drama?

Even an authority of his level could not find any fault with the film "The Injustice of Dou E".

As you can imagine, this drama performance of "The Injustice of Dou E" -

How wonderful it is!

"The last time I was so amazed by a tragedy was Mr. Cao Yu's Thunderstorm."

Analyze from the professional perspective of an insider.

"Thunderstorm" consists of four acts and four scenes.

The whole play "The Injustice of Dou E" consists of seven acts and seven scenes.

Dramas are about concise language and a concise plot. Most dramas need to be completed in 90 minutes, or an hour and a half.

Show the audience a drama performance with twists and turns and ups and downs!
Although "The Injustice of Dou E" has three more acts than "Thunderstorm", it does not give the audience any sense of procrastination.

Every scene contains an upward summary!

Every scene covers the next part!
In just one and a half hours of performance time, Jiang Hai's "The Injustice of Dou E" not only sketched out vivid characters one after another for the audience, but also showed unforgettable classic scenes such as "Snow in June" in this limited time. Even near the end, he raised a thought-provoking question to the audience:

“Is justice delayed really justice?”

“Who is going to judge whether it is right or wrong?”

"Even though Zhang Lu'er and his son, who bullied Dou E to death, were eventually punished by God, does this punishment really make sense? Dou E is dead, and no matter how much you vindicate her, she will never be able to come back alive." It can be said that in these short ninety minutes, the audience not only witnessed the protagonist Dou E's life full of injustice.

Even some thoughts about reality were derived from Dou E's death.

This is more than enough for a drama!
"I don't know what others think, but in my opinion," Dean Ye Jingming raised his head and looked at the principal Fang Zhenguo very seriously, "to some extent, Jiang Hai's "The Injustice of Dou E" is more exciting than Mr. Cao Yu's "Thunderstorm"!"

When Dean Ye Jingming uttered these words.

The professors and teachers around heard this.

They were all shocked.

Who is Cao Yu?

He is the most accomplished playwright in the history of modern Chinese drama and an outstanding playwright known as the "Shakespeare of the East"!
In 1933, Mr. Cao Yu relied on his famous work "Thunderstorm" to explode the literary world with "a loud thunder" and cleanse the filth with "heavy rain", bringing a profound baptism to the society and people's hearts at that time!

It is such a great playwright, and such a foundational work of drama known as "China's No. 1 Drama", in Ye Jingming's evaluation -

It is not as good as "The Injustice of Dou E"?
There is no doubt that Ye Jingming's bold speech really shocked many professors and teachers present!

Although this judgment is a bit subjective, it is possible to compare the two words "Jiang Hai" with "Cao Yu" to some extent.
Jiang Hai has already won!
"The Injustice of Dou E may also become the 'No. 1 Chinese Folk Drama'!"

Since the last teacher-student conference for the Cao Yu Drama Literature Award, during this period, President Fang Zhenguo and the school's professors and teachers have visited and watched many scripts and plays written by the so-called "honorary professors" in the college. However, the results were all the same -

Experience has constrained the older generation of creators too much!

Even so, when they were young, they wrote many famous plays and dramas.

However, as people reach middle age, their imagination declines.
The scripts they created are filled with a strong sense of formalism or even decay?
With a script like this, you can't even submit it for a competition or award. It won't even pass the academy's initial review.

Although, the plays created by these older generation creators are also considered excellent by other schools or groups?

However, Chenghai Drama Academy is one of the three major schools of drama literature in China!

The requirements for script quality are unmatched by other schools or groups.

The Cao Yu Drama Literature Award is about to begin. I have read so many scripts and watched so many plays during this period, but I still haven't seen a few suitable ones.

I originally thought that I would be a runner-up in this year's Drama Literature Award.

Who could have expected that Cheng Yaojin would suddenly appear halfway through?
Although he was watching a tragedy, the smile on Principal Fang Zhenguo's face was even harder to suppress than AK's. He was seen searching everywhere for Jiang Hai:
"Where is Jiang Hai? Where are Jiang Hai and his men?"

From the perspective of administrative rank:

The president of a key university is comparable to a county governor.

The president of a key university is naturally comparable to the mayor of a prefecture-level city, and the rank of both is department level.

In fact, Jiang Hai had arrived a long time ago, but he was just watching a row of leaders and professors in the conference hall, who were watching a movie or a drama with great concentration.

Naturally, he didn't want to disturb others, so he could only find a free spot nearby and wait quietly for everyone to finish watching.

Although I have no feelings towards Principal Fang Zhenguo, he is such a high-ranking leader after all.

Seeing Fang Zhenguo searching for him everywhere, he shouted:

"Where is Jiang Hai?"

Jiang Hai naturally raised his hand first: "Jiang Hai is here!"

After receiving the response, Principal Fang Zhenguo stood up from the center of the first row without any hesitation.

He walked straight to Jiang Hai and stared at him with an extremely admiring look:

"Change of plans, prepare to win the championship!"

At first, Jiang Hai just wanted to participate in a competition to see if he could take advantage of the situation.

Who would have thought that without realizing it, I would become a seeded player?

This feeling is quite magical?

After the drama performance, Jiang Hai had a brief conversation with the principal Fang Zhenguo, and then came to the backstage of the theater from the stage.

In fact, although the script was created by myself, there is a performance scene of this drama——

In fact, it has always been senior sister Xiao Linyu who has been in charge?

From the selection of actors in the early stage of the play, to the hands-on rehearsal in the middle stage, to the details of stage lighting, actor positioning and screen thank you in the later stage,
Are all these things controlled by Xiao Linyu?
Although Xiao Linyu looks dull and not good at speaking, she is very professional in drama rehearsal.

Many professors and teachers may not be as good as her?
"It has to be a PhD taught by Teacher Tao"

Jiang Hai came to the backstage of the set, thinking about finding Xiao Linyu and thanking her in person.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked in, I saw Xiao Linyu, who had just finished rehearsal, sitting in her seat reading a book.

Jiang Hai approached and found Xiao Linyu looking at a classic logic training question called "Trolley Dilemma", the general content of which can be summarized as follows:

【A madman tied five innocent people to a tram track. An out-of-control tram was heading towards them and was about to run them over. Fortunately, you could pull a lever and let the tram go to another track. The problem was that the madman had also tied a person to the other tram track.】

[At this time, would you choose to pull the railing, kill one person and save five people. Or would you choose to ignore the five people who are about to be crushed to death and save the other person? ]

Jiang Hai looked at this logic training question and immediately fell into deep thought.

Considering the number of rescued people, the benefits of pulling the railing are obviously greater.

Pulling the railing may kill one innocent person, but it can save more people.

But from the perspective of human ethics——

The man tied on the other side of the track is innocent!

In order to save the other five people, you choose to pull the track and kill this innocent person?
Although your benefit is indeed the greatest in terms of the number of people rescued, from a human perspective, is it appropriate for you to do so?
Just as Jiang Hai was thinking.

Looking at Jiang Hai's thoughtful look.

Xiao Linyu tilted her head and looked at him with her bright eyes blinking:
“Is there an optimal solution?”

Are you asking if there is an optimal solution to this problem?

This is not really the case.

Because whether you choose to pull the bar or not, someone is going to die in the end.

If you pull the railing, you become the executioner who kills others.

If you don't hold the railing, you will become a coward who does not help others.

Whether you choose to pull or not——

You will be criticized madly by others who stand on the moral high ground.

This is actually a dilemma.

"Since this is a dilemma, we can only think out of the box and defeat magic with magic."

Thinking of this, Jiang Hai raised his head and looked at Xiao Linyu in front of him with a firm gaze:

"First, I would choose not to touch the railing and watch the train run over these five people."

"Then--"

"When the train comes back, I will choose to pull the railing and let the remaining person die with the five people just now."

"Since you're already tied to the track, why are you still struggling?"

"Let's die together and that's it."

Xiao Linyu was quite shocked when she heard Jiang Hai's words. She looked at Jiang Hai in surprise.

After a while, he slowly uttered a sentence:

"You are such a living devil."
