After many days, Li Li came to the Wheat Field Drama Club again, and as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Teacher Huang Lei was walking towards him with a smile and gave him a very strong hug.

"Congratulations, the harvest of June, the whole of June this year, should be the most proud day of your life, right? By the way, this time the script is written, right?"

"Write it out. ”

"Okay, let's go to the rehearsal room, the teachers are rehearsing the drama right now. ”

Following Huang Lei to the door of the rehearsal room, Li Li looked curiously at the situation in the room.

A group of veteran actors in this rehearsal room are rehearsing "Thunderstorm", and because of the Propaganda Department, "Thunderstorm" will be on a national tour this summer.

At this time, it was already late at night, and the last time I came to the Wheat Field Drama Club was also late at night.

Huang Lei raised his wrist and glanced at it, pushed open the door and said, "Let's go here tonight, Li Li is here, or I'll invite everyone to dinner!"

Hou Tianlai smiled and asked, "Li Li came with a script, right?"

"Teacher Hou, the clumsy work has been written, and I ask you to criticize and correct. ”

Zhang Kaili said: "Then let's talk while eating, but this summer and autumn are busy, I don't know if you can have time to rehearse and perform your drama." ”

Li Li was a little puzzled, didn't he say that a good new drama would be rehearsed and performed in the summer? Why has the situation changed?

Huang Lei explained: "The Propaganda Department of China has a document that our drama club will tour several classic dramas this summer to conform to the trend of the times and promote traditional culture. ”

"Then my drama ......"

"It's okay, let's form a team again. Huang Lei understated the authenticity.

Everyone chatted all the way, and after finding a restaurant, they went in and sat down.

The center of the topic is naturally Li Li, as a figure who has been on fire throughout June, Li Li has too much to talk about.

Not long after the dish came up, several screenwriters from the drama club also came, and when everyone shook hands and greeted them, Huang Xiaomin walked into the restaurant with a pile of freshly printed scripts.

Screenwriter Xiaohua said with a smile: "Yo, it's better to come early than to come at a good time! We just came and saw the freshly baked script of Mr. Li!"

Screenwriter Dadong looked at the script curiously, "Mr. Li fully demonstrated his scriptwriting ability on the stage of "I Am an Actor", and I can't wait to see it. ”

Li Li hurriedly said: "It's just clumsy, everyone gives guidance and guidance, and I accept any criticism and may not correct it." ”

Everyone: "???"

Is this polite or unkind?

"Everyone's criticism suggests that I agree with it must be changed, and I will not take it to heart if I criticize me and disagree with it. Xiaomin, distribute the script to everyone. ”

Xiao Min hurriedly handed the script in his hand to everyone's hands in turn, and everyone quietly turned over the script for a while.

Then Li Li, who was left to dry, occasionally quietly stretched out his chopsticks to take a bite of meat, or picked up a wine glass and touched Huang Xiaomin, and the two of them were bored and quietly eliminated the food on the table.

Otherwise, it's too boring to sit dry.

Everyone looked at the script, and all kinds of laughter rang out non-stop, there were slight rippling smiles, some laughing, and some laughing, and everyone's expressions proved one thing - this script is at least easy and entertaining.

Li Li's script called "X" draws on many dramas and excellent comedy works such as "The Earl of Oolong Mountain" and "Sweet and Salty Match" in his previous life, and has made a lot of adaptations, filling in a lot of his own whimsy.

In the past life, the audience would have seen some shadows of other works, but in this life it is a completely new work.

In fact, Li Li can be completely lazy.

There is no "Teahouse" in this life, Li Li can directly copy it;

There is no "Qu Yuan" in this life, and Li Li can also copy it;

In this life, there is no "White-Haired Girl", "In a Silent Place", "Love in a Fallen City", etc., Li Li can copy them.

Are they all classics, are they all heard of?

However, not to mention that Li Liying should not be lazy, first of all, a practical question is in front of us - will there be a market for these works in this time and space?

The reason why the classic drama "Thunderstorm" that existed in this lifetime can still be performed nationwide and have an endless stream of audiences is because all the people know that this is a landmark work!

Just like many viewers who have not watched "Titanic", when they walk into the theater and see the re-screening information, they are still willing to walk into the theater to pay their respects.

Classics will last forever, why will they last forever? It is often because the label of the word "classic" does not necessarily mean that this work after many years can still meet the audience's expectations.

Of course, China's classic dramas are excellent, but they may not be able to meet the aesthetics of modern people.

Every era has an era of aesthetics, which is understandable, just like "Dream of Red Mansions", what kind of classics have they become, and how many people have read through the original work now?

If Li Li copied "Teahouse" and "Qu Yuan" from his previous life and put them on the drama stage, when these works that have lost the classic halo and the drama works of this life are PK, they will fail miserably at the drama box office because of the problem of derailing from the times.

This is not to say that there is a problem with the artistic level of the classic dramas of the previous life, but a problem of the aesthetic tendency of the era.

Some people will say that the core of a classic work will never go out of style, but the key is how many viewers are willing to analyze the core of your work?

In this era, what is the primary goal of drama? is to survive! Not to be eliminated! It is to box office!

At the time of the survival of the drama, Li Li wants to make a contribution not to come up with a high-quality and low-level "Thunderstorm" level work, but a work that can win the box office and bring the public viewing enjoyment.

Li Li has already expected it, if the classic drama of the previous life is really moved to this life, it will basically be popular or not, the audience knows it, but they just don't want to watch it, isn't it embarrassing?

The drama market in this life is already dying, and the national tour of "Thunderstorm" proposed by the Huaxuan Department is actually mostly on campus, and tickets cannot be sold.

The drama market is in urgent need of revitalization, and it is in urgent need of works that can immediately attract the interest of the audience.

Therefore, Li Li absorbed the nourishment of the drama of his previous life and re-adapted and created "X", which is a comedy, of course, a criticism of life is mixed into the comedy.

At the dinner table, after bursts of laughter, Huang Lei took the lead in reading it, and after exclaiming "interesting", he looked at it again.

The two screenwriters laughed back and forth, Xiaohua put down the script first, and then looked at Li Li with a look of adoration, "Teacher Li, you are really amazing, this script is too good, I am convinced." ”

Dadong also said excitedly: "When I watched "I Am an Actor", I was thinking, if I gave Mr. Li more time to create, what kind of works would Mr. Li come up with! ”

After that, Dadong poured himself a glass of wine and raised his glass, "Teacher Li, I toast you!"

Xiaohua also hurriedly poured full of wine, "Teacher Li, you are free, we will do it." ”

Li Li smiled and said, "Two teachers, cheers!"

After the two screenwriters drank it all, they looked at Li Li, only to see Li Li take a small sip lightly and then sit down.

They were all stunned, Mom, so real, really "casual"?

Xiao Hua's head leaned towards Li Li's side, and said conclusively: "Mr. Li, your drama will definitely be a big hit, there is basically no suspense, as long as the publicity is in place." ”

Dadong: "This is a typical market work, young people nowadays like to watch some light-hearted entertainment themes, why are variety shows popular? Why are comedies popular? This is the proof!"

Yes, "X" is a typical market work, although it is full of ridicule of life and human nature.

Li Li's attitude towards movies and dramas is completely different, his pursuit of movies is to see more works full of speculation or a sense of life power, and the box office is not important. But drama is the opposite, he believes that the current drama has the ability to capture the vast majority of the audience, and the box office is unusually important.

This is because the living conditions of movies and dramas are completely different, and an art that is on the verge of extinction is not qualified to play small and beautiful, beautiful and elegant.

But the film market is booming, and bad movies are flooding, and there is an urgent need for a group of people to make some profound works, even if the box office is not ideal.

Li Li asked, "Two teachers, what are your criticisms?"

The two screenwriters shook their heads, no!

At this time, Hou Tianlai put down the script, his face was full of wrinkles with a smile, and said: "I have an opinion, this script is completely unsuitable for us old bones to play! This is a script that belongs to you young actors." ”

At this time, Zhang Kaili also finished watching it, and she nodded in agreement: "This comedy is wonderful, but I found that I don't have any scenes, even if there is no national tour of "Thunderstorm", I can't help much." ”

Li Li asked again: "Then in the script, is there anything else that needs to be adjusted?"

After thinking about it for a long time:

"I think so!"

"I think it's okay too!"

"The only question now is when to choose the actors and when to rehearse. ”

……

Huang Lei frowned, "By the way, the most serious problem, even if the team is formed, do you have time to rehearse and guide? Don't you still have a lot of work to deal with in the "Movie Viewing Guide" now?"

Li Li held his chin and sighed: "I thought things were simple, but I didn't expect our drama club to conduct a national tour of classic dramas." ”

"The team is easy to reorganize, but your schedule is a problem! You can't fly back and forth every day in the Spring City Capital! Why don't you withdraw from the "Movie Guide"?"

Li Li shook his head: "This can't work, I have to fulfill my promise." ”

Li Li thought that it would not be a big problem to complete the rehearsal within 10 days, but it turned out that the classic drama tour of the Wheat Field Drama Club, and it would take a certain amount of time to reorganize a team, but Li Li would not be in the capital at that time, and the schedule was a problem.

Li Li returned home very melancholy and lay on the bed in a daze.

The house where Li Li lives now is in the same neighborhood as his parents' house, but Li Li just wants to vent his depression quietly, so he only stays in his home.

Early the next morning, as soon as Li Li finished breakfast, he received a call from the president of the Wheat Field Drama Club.

"Mr. Li, I read your script, it's very exciting. But now the repertory troupe has responded to the call of the Chinese Propaganda Department to conduct a national tour, and it will take us at least a month to get together the outstanding actors who meet this script. ”

Li Li's heart was cold: "Then the rehearsal will have to take place in August, and the performance will have to be in mid-August at the earliest." ”

"Yes, that's the case! But Mr. Li, don't worry, wait another month!"

"I'm in a hurry!"

"Teacher Li, I know that your schedule is very tight, let's overcome it together, a month has passed in a blink of an eye, isn't it Mr. Li?"

"Actually, President, I can't wait a month, I hope that my drama will be staged at the end of July, and at the latest in a few days before August. ”

The president said, "Today is July 3rd, so it's not bad for a few days. ”

Li Li shook his head, the president didn't know why he was in such a hurry, he had to tell the truth, "President, actually, I want to compete for the Golden Lion Award in September!"

The president seemed to hallucinate: "What?"

"I want to compete. ”

"Golden ......"

The president was frightened, the Golden Lion Award, the highest government award given to outstanding drama workers who have been engaged in drama art for a long time and have made remarkable achievements, is a national permanent professional award for drama approved by the Ministry of Propaganda and the Ministry of Culture of China.

Look at this head, is that child's play?

You compete for the Golden Lion Award in a month, big brother, are you dreaming?

There are still a lot of qualifications for this award, so you think too much as a newcomer, right?

Are you too famous and starting to float, dare you think about anything? Do you think this award belongs to your family?

The president complained about 10,000 words in his heart, and if the person on the other side of the phone was not Li Li, he would have scoffed directly.

However, because it is Li Li, and he has read Li Li's script, he recognizes Li Li's strength, but he does not recognize Li Li's award, because the preparation is too hasty first, in fact, this award has a qualification requirement.

However, the president thinks that Li Li may win a small award such as the Newcomer Award.

But the time is too rushed, can you be ready? Li Li is fine, but what about other factors?

The president pondered for a long time before saying, "Why don't we work hard for the next Golden Lion Award?" ”

Li Li shook his head: "No, I must work hard to win this award this time!"

The president wondered, "Why?"

"Uh...... I just want to challenge myself. ”

In fact, Li Li didn't tell the truth!

The reason why Li Li is so utilitarian and eager to win the award is because Ma Duoduo just helped him deal with the contract for the variety show "First Grade" on Shonan Satellite TV.

"First Grade" started filming in September when freshmen entered the school, and Li Li, as the acting mentor in the show, did not have any film and television works, and he felt that it was really unreasonable.

Gao Yuanyuan has taken so many works, and Hu Ge has taken so many pictures, but when he came to himself, he came to be a teacher for the freshmen without any works on him?

The freshmen patted their ass and said Mr. Gao, I especially like your "Let's Get Married", and said to Hu Ge that I especially like your "The Pretender". When it came to Li Li, the freshman patted himself and said I like you very much.

Let's not lose face, we still know what our shortcomings are compared to others. To participate in this kind of variety show of acting guidance, we have to have a little convincing capital, and we must have decent works to improve our confidence!

Li Li actually thinks too much, he has fully proved himself on the stage of "I Am an Actor", and the undoubted championship trophy is the most convincing proof of him, he is fully qualified to serve as a mentor for freshmen in "First Grade", and no one will have any doubts about it.

But Li Li has high requirements for himself, he thinks so, this Golden Lion Award award has a fight, and there is still a chance for awards such as the best newcomer.

Li Li said: "I have to find a way to overcome this problem and strive to put the drama on the stage as soon as possible." ”

The president asked, "Do you want to challenge this Golden Lion Award?"

Li Li nodded: "Well, if it's inconvenient for our drama club, I'll go to other drama clubs and ask." ”

"Don't don't, don't, let me think about it!" The president scratched his head, thought hard for a moment, and said after really not recruiting, "Why don't you Teacher Li, your drama is being prepared in the Senyi Drama Club?"

"Senyi?"

"Yes, Senyi, their president is my iron buddy, and it is the repertory troupe of Jisen Spring City, which is too convenient for you, Mr. Li. ”

Li Li suddenly felt a little sad, why couldn't he stay in the capital, so he sent himself back?

However, considering the actual situation, this is the best solution at the moment.

It seems that it can only counterattack!
