Chapter 41: Stressful

The freshman show is destined to be a carnival in the first semester of the 96th class of the Chinese Opera Performance Department.

Chinese opera attaches great importance to the freshman performance, because it is a stage to test the quality of students and the learning ability of new students, but there are rehearsals for simple performances in the small theater, and many teachers and students such as sophomores and juniors come to watch.

Therefore, the freshman show is also called the initial inspection, and there is no need to say much about who is inspected!

Zhou Bai didn't know that history had quietly changed a little bit, for example, there were originally 20 students enrolled in this year's acting class of Chinese opera, but because of his appearance, Chang Li and Wang Liya only recruited 18 people under pressure.

For example, Yuan Xiang was originally arranged to be in a dormitory with the 93-level senior sister, but now because Teacher Chang has adjusted his thinking, he has forced the eight girls into two dormitories, and the name is to better adapt to collective life.

But there are still a lot of things that remain the same, just like Liu Ye, like the original, he doesn't know what the performance is, when he heard that a show is going to be held, he is anxious like an ant on a hot pot for a while, and he suffers from gains and losses for a while, to put it simply, this child is about to be forced to Sparta.

Liu Yedang's sports committee is still very competent, and the basketball team of the 96 class has basically beaten the Chinese opera all over the invincible under his leadership, and the sophomores and juniors in the girls' dormitory will cheer for the basketball team's classmates every time they play, so that the child can regain some self-confidence.

Zhou Bai was also pulled into the basketball team, although this product has not played much, but he can't stand the talent of others is really high, and more than ten years of martial arts training is far better than ordinary classmates in agility and reaction speed, and it is just right to play small forward.

"Brother, I think life is so gloomy, I don't have any idea about homework now, but what should I do. After Liu Ye finished practicing, he sat on the side of the basketball court and said with a hum, there is nothing to love.

The day when everyone has to hand in their homework every week has become the most feared time, and even Zhou Bai was hit with confidence, because the sketch was also beaten back.

"My homework was also called back by Chang's mother, and now I also have a headache, how did you discuss it with the 'little steel cannon'?" Zhou Bai wiped his sweat and said helplessly.

"Little Steel Cannon" is Zhang Ziyi's nickname, which has officially replaced the gentle nickname of "Zhang Xiaomei", because everyone has found that Zhang Ziyi's straightforwardness and atmosphere of a Beijing girl are completely in strong contrast to her lovely appearance.

"Don't mention it, she doesn't have any ideas, Chang's mother is so strict, we failed last time, and this time we don't have the face to see people again. Liu Ye's eyes were blank, and after a while, his northeastern accent was already a little better.

"Hey, you said it would be nice if I were as good as Yuan Yu, I could pass my homework every time, I didn't see Sister Lizi almost fail, just her and Tian Cheng's homework is the best. Liu Ye said with envy.

Speaking of Yuan Xiang, Zhou Bai didn't know what it was like in his heart, for almost a month, Yuan Xiang seemed to be a different person, and he didn't participate in group activities, usually except for silence is silence, or he just walked with his head down, and sometimes he didn't even care much about Zhou Bai.

"Yezi, Hailu is a knife and Ma Dan, Zeng Li and Yuan Yu are Da Qingyi, Hu Yu has studied folk dance for six years, Zhang Tong and Li Min are all skilled, Sister Mei Ting needless to say, people have filmed before entering Chinese dramas, so we must be ashamed and brave, and work hard to catch up with them. Zhou Bai patted Liu Ye's shoulder and analyzed.

In fact, as time went by, Zhou Bai gradually found that the people in the class were divided into various small groups, the boys were okay, not so serious, the 306 dormitory was still very united, but the girls were really divided into several groups.

For example, Mei Ting, Li Min and Zhang Tong have become a small group, Qin Hailu and Hu Yu have a very good relationship, Zhang Ziyi and Zeng Li have a very close relationship, and Yuan Yu is outside all the boys and girls in Class 96, and Zhou Bai vaguely feels that there is a taste of palace fighting dramas.

"I know. Liu Ye sighed, "But I always feel that I am the stupidest in our class, not to mention compared with girls, even among boys, I am also the bottom of the boys, except for the 'little steel cannon' who is willing to play with me, no one else looks down on me, I know." ”

Liu Ye's face was gloomy, very uncomfortable, and he basically had no confidence when he mentioned acting.

"Yezi, you see that I was the first in the art exam, and I was still the top student in the college entrance examination, but I was not tortured the worst in the physical class, and the sketch performance was also beaten back. Zhou Bai took a sip of water and said.

"But I won't be discouraged, I believe that I can make up for it with sweat where I don't have enough talent, although Chang's mother often scolds me with blood, but I know that she is for my good, and I have not been defeated. Zhou Bai said very seriously that a month did hit his confidence, but he would not have the idea of giving up.

"Isn't your progress in your lines obvious? Teachers still praise you for your great progress, Yezi, the current predicament is only temporary, as long as you persevere, there will be a breakthrough one day. Zhou Bai comforted Liu Ye.

Liu Ye's face finally got a little better, but when he thought about it, the show was coming soon, and he couldn't help but worry.

"I don't even know what to do in the freshman show, it's okay to say if the homework is not good, and I can change it, but if the show is not good, I am really eliminated. The more he talked about it, the more sad he became, and his voice trembled a little.

"It's okay, take your time, don't you have five or six days left, you can think about the show, anyway, as long as you can go on stage, I haven't made up my mind yet." Zhou Bai said in a relaxed tone, he was telling the truth.

The reason why Zhou Bai's homework was knocked back was not because he had no other way, just find a later work to plagiarize, and it was easy for him to copy some classic sketches, but this was not his own ability, it was just stealing the achievements of others, Zhou Bai didn't want to deceive himself.

It's like a show, Zhou Bai can plagiarize the classic songs of later generations in the name of "original", and it's not too easy to make a name for himself in the school with some classic passages, is this asking himself if this is his thing?

Don't you say in a disciplined way: Why is it not my ability to plagiarize what I plagiarized with a gold finger?

"Brother, it's good that you can perform martial arts directly, your movements are so beautiful, there is no problem at all. Liu Ye said puzzled.

"Yezi, you know why I chose Chinese opera, if I want to be famous in school, I can use my strengths, but for me, I don't grow at all. Zhou Bai was silent for a while, and then said.

"Chang's mother doesn't let Ziyi dance directly in her usual homework, because the dancing in the sketch must have a cause and effect, a series of things such as the beginning and the end, I don't want to repeat what I've been learning for more than ten years to fight for a show, I want to break through myself and learn what I haven't done before. ”

During this time, Zhou Bai was also under a lot of pressure, and he had to rack his brains for the design of his works, basically rehearsing until 12 o'clock in the morning every day, and insisting on getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning to do morning exercises, fortunately he had a thick body, otherwise he really couldn't stand it.

The main courses of the Department of Chinese Opera Performance are basically carried out in accordance with the way of voice, stage, shape and table, and the most important courses are vocal music, lines, body, and performance.

In the acting class, students have not yet learned the content of dramas, film and television excerpts, or the content of a scene of a drama, but students are required to write, direct and act by themselves, that is, let them explore the outline of the entire performing arts with their own antennae.

Over the past few years, Zhou Bai and the others have received basic teaching, practiced basic skills, exercised the seven forces and four senses of everyone's performance, and performed fragmented roles, but there was no specific content.

So the university is also going to fight monsters all the way up well, those who don't know much about the curriculum of professional acting schools will think that the teacher will teach you something expressive, experiential and the like, and let you be able to shock the audience with all kinds of drama at the beginning of the class, that's pure nonsense.

Stanley is taught in performing arts schools throughout China, and no formal school exposes students directly to these except for pheasant schools.

Of course, there are some courses such as literary appreciation, solo singing, directing basics, stage costume design basics, and even Chinese drama, Chinese opera, foreign drama, introduction to art, public compulsory courses, etc., but these are all incidental courses, just like economics majors will learn Mao Deng, the main skill is not this.

"Okay, don't think so much about the show now, let's get the homework done first. Let's go back to take a shower, I'll go to the rehearsal room at night to help you come up with ideas, it just so happens that Qin Hao and I are also going to rehearse homework, there are many people, and there is a lot of strength, and if we don't hurry up, the rehearsal room will be robbed again. Zhou Bai patted Liu Ye on the shoulder, picked up the basketball he put next to him, and turned around and walked in the direction of the dormitory.

The students of Chinese opera are very hard-working, and even have to grab the rehearsal room, and some of the senior brothers and sisters have not relaxed in the slightest, and this learning atmosphere is full of competition.

Liu Ye bit his lip, thought about the best way at present, and got up silently and walked behind Zhou Bai.

These days, Zhou Bai has given him a lot of support, and he has been pulling him out of his morning work every day, Liu Ye knows in his heart that Zhou Bai has a share of the credit for the progress of his lines, but he doesn't want to say thank you, he knows that Zhou Bai is not rare.

Zhou Bai didn't say much all the way, and Liu Ye, who followed him, was also silent.

"Brother, Sister Pear won't like you, right?"

When they were almost at the dormitory building, the silent Liu Ye asked a question, which made Zhou Bai almost hit the street.
