Chapter 187: Tang Consortium
At the flag-raising ceremony on Monday morning, the school informed the students of the 129 evening and asked each class to prepare a program, and then report to the school at noon this week.
After the report, the program will be reviewed by the school's leaders, of course, it is an audit, in fact, it is just a general understanding of the time and scale of the program, whether the program is enough or not is a problem, and which programs can be brushed down?
The requirement is to have at least one program per class, but it is okay not to report too much.
Since most of the programs are singing and dancing, and a performance is only three or five minutes long, the song and dance drama in their class should also be adjusted according to the specific situation. Because a musical is divided into four or five acts, although it is shortened, it takes about forty or fifty minutes to finish.
You can't finish a show in a class in three or five minutes, and a show in their class takes thirty or fifty minutes to finish, right?
Therefore, at that time, it is necessary to shorten it appropriately according to the schedule given by the school's organizers, and reduce the four or five acts to two or three acts, that is, the most critical scenes, which will be decided after the program is reported.
However, although Qin Yi knew that their class might encounter any trouble when reporting the show, he didn't expect the other party to be so excessive. The stage play in their class lasted about forty minutes in total, and Qin Yi estimated that the other party would give them fifteen minutes to perform no matter what, so that a slight reduction could condense the content of the three acts......
"So many scenes?" Mr. Wang, who was the reviewer, frowned when he saw the third act, this thing looked quite vicious, his skin was dark and strong, not to mention, the wrinkles on his face were profound, and he looked like a Shar Pei.
"No, we can't give your class that much time," Teacher Wang said impatiently with a wave of his hand, "Give you ten minutes at most to perform, so be it." ”
"Ten minutes? A singing show has five minutes, and a skit has ten minutes, and we're a stage play. Qin Yi frowned and said, the other party also frowned, grabbed the teacup on the table unhurriedly and took a sip, "This is the school's rule, the party must end before six o'clock in the afternoon, if it is too late, the parents will be dissatisfied." ”
Qin Yi felt that this teacher was a little unreasonable, after all, these rules were all dead, and besides, a slight delay of five minutes could still make people die in a hurry? But since the other party said so, there is no way, after all, this society is like this. But the most troublesome thing is not actually here, but that Qin Yi still has to tell the students in his class about it.
"The good news is that the show was selected. Qin Yi smiled helplessly, "The bad news is that the school has asked us to reduce the stage play to less than ten minutes, so the previous five acts should only be able to perform two acts now." ”
After Qin Yi finished speaking, the class suddenly became dissatisfied: "What are you doing? A stage play of more than 40 minutes is required to be shortened to 10 minutes? How is this possible?" "That's it, a short scene of five minutes and a long ten minutes, what can be performed in ten minutes? What kind of stage play is there to perform? Go up and sing a song!" "The school does this every time, it's too much, right?"
Qin Yi raised his hand and smiled: "Okay, okay, I know everyone thinks it's very unfair." But you should know from the beginning that this school is unfair to you. Who made you special? You are all geniuses, you don't have to embarrass you in such a difficult way, then the students of other classes are not too inferior in front of you?"
"Oh, teacher, you're really good at talking. Huang Tianming replied with a smile.
"Well, there is a point. If we don't add some conditions, we won't have to mix up other classes. Dai Hang also shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, Li Sisi rolled his eyes angrily: "You little devils are really easy to deceive." ”
"The teacher is telling the truth. Qin Yi squatted down in front of Li Sisi, stared at her with a gloomy expression and smiled, Li Sisi shuddered for a while, and suddenly pushed him away with a slap, and said with some annoyance: "Ouch, I know! Don't stare at me like that, my goosebumps are coming out!"
"Tell me what we're going to do. Liu Weiheng said expressionlessly, "The fifty-minute stage play has been shortened to ten minutes, and many of the lines prepared before are useless, right? ”
"The hard work is never in vain. Qin Yi said solemnly, "Since that's the case, let's reduce the content." Fortunately, the plot of Beauty and the Beast is well known to everyone, so we only leave the most distinctive parts. Then there's the part that best reflects your style, and it's up to you to decide which ones are. ”
Xie Yilin frowned and said, "In that case, then we can only keep the fifth act." The part where the prince and Belle danced must be kept, and then the scene where the prince and Gaston confronted must also be kept, and the scene where the prince changes back to his original state...... Then the rest of the class should at least come out and show their faces...... I'm so embarrassed, what should I do?"
Hu Peihan suggested: "We can simply let those supporting characters go through the motions, or let them keep a small part of the clips and lines at home. For example, let Gaston's best friend Rifle appear in the final scene of the confrontation with the prince, and then let Mrs. Teapot and the alarm clock minister make a cameo appearance at the ball, after all, it is still the story of the prince and Belle, and it can't be off-topic. ”
"Well, that's possible. Liu Weiheng held his chin and muttered, "Moreover, in this way, the set will be much simpler." We can replace the set with a curtain in the back, and skip the previous plot in a simple narrative way, such as being attacked by a wolf and then coming to the castle, through the quick cutscenes of the set and supporting characters. ”
"What a good idea!" Xie Yilin said happily, "worthy of Liu Weiheng, this is a great idea! It also saves the cost of making the set! So we only need to prepare a few curtains, and then draw the background on the curtain." ”
"Liu Huaxing, can I give you this task?" Hu Peihan patted Liu Huaxing's shoulder behind him and smiled, "It's probably only three or four curtains." ”
"Well, yes, yes, but if it's the size of a curtain...... I might not be able to do it alone. Liu Huaxing said with some embarrassment, "What if...... If someone can help me......"
"Are there any classmates who volunteered?" Qin Yi said with a smile, "Come, raise your hand and sign up." ”
"Teacher, I'll calculate ......," Xie Yilin frowned and said in embarrassment, "No matter how much it is reduced, it may take about fifteen minutes to complete this stage play, and ten minutes...... Some of the important clips have to be cut back, and it's likely that some students won't be able to play right now. However, I want you to ...... can participate in this performance. ”
"Well, what's this......" Qin Yi held his chin and muttered for a while, then smiled: "Teacher, let's figure it out, in short, you first compress the program to less than fifteen minutes, and the teacher will discuss it with the school......"
At this time, Tang Xueying, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Teacher, don't agree to be so full of troublesome things that can't be done." We also understand that sometimes this society is like this, and some things cannot be changed by human beings, just like fate. Sometimes, it's also necessary to learn to accept fate, don't you think so, teacher?"
Qin Yi immediately raised his eyebrows with interest, not because Tang Xueying's words were refuting him, but because Tang Xueying's words revealed some of Tang Xueying's own "problems" for the first time. In fact, when Qin Yi first came to this class, he could find that everyone in this class had more or less some "problems" that needed to be solved.
It is precisely because of those "problems" that these students, who were originally excellent enough to be admitted to this school, became "tumors" and were gathered in this class. Tang Xueying is actually a very typical example.
She was born in a famous wealthy Tang family in Nanhua City, and Tang's enterprises are second to none in Nanhua City, but the so-called family has a scripture that is difficult to read.
The Tang family is a family business consortium, and most of the members of the enterprise are the Tang family's own family, including the Tang family's clan and several branches, and Tang Xueying is a member of the family.
Such a powerful consortium, of course, cannot be maintained by family affection. On the contrary, the internal competition of the Tang family can almost be said to be cruel and ruthless, and the achievements that the division can achieve directly determine the status of the division.
Those who have poor performance will naturally have a very low status in the Tang consortium and can only be at the mercy of others.
And there is a very common method in this kind of wealthy family, that is, business marriage, through business marriage with other powerful consortia to increase the performance of their own separation, so as to improve their status. The Tang Consortium can also further strengthen its power in this way, and in the long run, this kind of ...... has been formed within the Tang Consortium It's all about the wind.
This can be regarded as an unspoken rule of the Tang family, and Tang Xueying, as a daughter's family, will most likely have a business marriage with the eldest young master of a rich family in the future, no matter how scumbag the other party is or how old and ugly she is, she has no right to decide.
This method is very cruel and impersonal, but it is this cruel competition that makes the strength of the Tang family consortium continue to improve. It's just that there is too much unbearable and ugly in the process of ascension.
Therefore, now Tang Xueying's words made Qin Yi very interested: This kid really still has troubles.
"Oh, Xue Ying, do you think so, fate is impossible to resist?" Qin Yi asked with interest, "Or do you think it is too difficult to resist fate, so you chose an easy path and chose to accept fate?"
"Say whatever you want. Tang Xueying snorted, "But I think you also know that you can't do everything." ”
"Of course I can't do it alone. Qin Yi smiled and said, "If you just silently wait for someone to pull you up at the point of the abyss, then you will naturally not be able to come up for the rest of your life, even if someone reaches out to you from above." Only if you stretch out your hand and try to jump out of that step, grab that hand, you can crawl out of the abyss. ”
Saying that, Qin Yi patted Li Sisi's brain: "I think the teacher has solved a lot of problems with the joint efforts of some students." Of course, I also know that some students may feel that their problems are not so easy to solve. But if you keep trying, maybe things will change over time, and the teacher will help you. ”
Tang Xueying shook her head, as if she felt that Qin Yi was unreasonable, and she didn't bother to argue with him. Qin Yi didn't continue, because he knew that Tang Xueying's situation must be very complicated, and it was indeed not something that ordinary people could interfere with.
However, coincidentally, he is not an ordinary person. Qin Yi felt that this was a good opportunity to prove to the students that he was trustworthy. Even if it is a troublesome problem, you can consult with him.
"I know that you may be facing some great difficulties, but no matter what, I hope that you can come and discuss with the teacher, even if I can't really help you solve it, at least I can help you share some of your troubles. Qin Yi said with a smile.
Tang Xueying was not interested in this, and Qin Yi didn't mind, because he could see that there were many students in the class who really trusted him, and they would choose to discuss with him if they encountered any trouble in the future.
On the other hand, Qin Yi originally planned to discuss the performance time of their class program with the leaders of the school who were responsible for organizing the 129 party, but now his interest has shifted to Tang Xueying, so he decided to use some comparative ...... A tough but direct approach. To put it bluntly, it is to directly hypnotize Mr. Wang.
Through hypnosis, Teacher Wang forgot the "rules" of the school, and extended the program of their class to 15 minutes.
"Teacher. After class, Chang Qi suddenly came to Qin Yi. Qin Yi looked at her and smiled: "How is it?"
"Well, I got that job. Chang Qi smiled excitedly, "The store manager said that my selfie level is very good, and said that not only will he entrust me with the corresponding ones, but also recommend me some jobs in other stores in the future." ”
"Congratulations, you got the job on your own, seriously. The teacher just introduced you to you, but didn't say anything good for you. Qin Yi smiled, "However, since I got this job, I promised the teacher, forget about my previous life, and welcome my new life." ”
"Hmm!" Chang Qi nodded and smiled, then handed the box in his hand to Qin Yi, "This is the dried vegetables that my grandparents dried themselves, teacher, you can take them back and cook them." ”
"Then the teacher is welcome. Qin Yi smiled and took it from Chang Qi's hand.
