V144 Zhou Wenyan's thoughts
Jiang Yafei mentioned this matter, and it didn't take two days to have the final and definite news: it is indeed in the form of a stage melodrama, and the form of participation is mainly in the class, but this time an individual about three or five friends are allowed to participate in the form of a small team. As for the theme of the story www.biquge.info performed, there is no specific scope for the performance, which can be a classic masterpiece from ancient and modern China and foreign countries, or it can be conceived by one's own imagination. The only requirement is that all the dialogue must be in a foreign language, and the scene layout, costumes and props have to be done by yourself.
It can be said that this event has given all the students who are preparing to participate in the competition a great space to play. But if you want to talk about the difficulty, it is actually not small. Like Zhao Qingru's English class, according to the requirements of the activity, the performance must be in English throughout the performance. The French and German classes next door naturally have to be French and German.
If you want to say that there is a more ingenious place here, stage melodrama or something, if you perform those classic plays such as "Hamlet", "Romeo and Juliet" or something, it takes a lot of advantage in terms of language. Zhao Qingru doesn't know how many people have thought of this obvious loophole for the time being. Anyway, in the English class she is in, she wasted three days of time in the selection of repertoire, argued for three days, and did not come up with a result.
Since Jiang Yafei moved to the dormitory last semester and moved to the same dormitory as Zhao Qingru, it seems that she has had more friction with the life committee member Wang Yali. This time, Jiang Yafei originally proposed to choose Shakespeare's classic repertoire and excerpt a relatively easy fragment, but unfortunately this proposal was finally abandoned under the resolute opposition of Wang Yali and others.
After Zhao Qingru and the three of them knew that there was this activity, they thought about forming a three-person team to join in the fun. Don't seek to be a blockbuster, it's important to participate.
Wang Yali knew that Zhao Qingru was planning to do this, although she had a faint sense of threat, and felt that she should not let Zhao Qingru form a three-person team, but when she thought about it, no one would compete with her for the role when she turned around, and she could show her skills, so she was naturally happy that Zhao Qingru did not participate.
Jiang Yafei was originally the class president, and she should have full authority to organize the students in the class to complete this activity. It turned out that Wang Yali was secretly working on that idea behind her back and thought she was smart, but in fact, she really couldn't make any small moves on the stage, and she simply withdrew from participating in the rehearsal of the big team, and mixed up with Zhao Qingru, the three trios who had never had any organizational discipline.
Lou Fei has always been a loner, and this time it was very rare to participate in the big rehearsal in the class. But every time I come back from a rehearsal, my face is not very good. Tuo Lou Fei's blessing, Zhao Qingru and the four heard a lot of gossip during the rehearsal, but unfortunately they couldn't watch the live broadcast in person. For this reason, Zhao Qingru said that he was very sorry.
By the end of November, the programs for each year and class were almost ready. Zhao Qingru's sophomore English class, in addition to the class rehearsal program and Zhao Qingru's team, there are actually several teams. Like the married duo Jin Weihong and Guo Jingqing in the same dormitory, they united several other classmates in the class who had formed a family, and performed a neighborhood story that was very close to life.
Don't look at the story, in Zhao Qingru's opinion, it is very ordinary and bloody, and individual dialogues and contradictions and conflicts have not been handled well, and the classmate who played the sister-in-law forgot the words for a while, and held back for a long time and directly came to a hometown dialect full of local accents, which caused the audience to laugh. But after all, he is self-written, directed, and acted, and he has a strong sense of life, and he can always see some bits and pieces of his own shadow from above.
The final score was no lower than the big rehearsal that the class had chosen to give. I forgot to mention that Zhao Qingru's English class finally chose to send the program "Thunder (Shower) Rain" that Wang Yali made the decision and was responsible for compiling and drawing. Excerpt from Mr. Cao Yu's masterpiece "Thunderstorm" is the most high/tidal passage.
Zhao Qingru had not watched the English version of "Thunder (Shower) Rain" before this, but after watching it, it was really unsurprising that the "thunder" in the name of the play was verified everywhere.
In fact, this event is still fair, at least the obvious loophole that Zhao Qingru was worried about before, and it is not so easy to take advantage of it when it comes to scoring in the end. If you really choose a story such as Shakespeare's work that already has the original version, you will be deducted extra points for the language score in the final score. On the other hand, if you translate Chinese into a foreign language by yourself, there are additional points.
Although the score is not much, although there are thunderstorms in the sky, "Thunder (Shower) Rain" still relies on extra points, which is only less than 0.5 points lower than Jin Weihong's "Neighborhood".
After that, the second English class where Huaxia Siqi was located next door also performed a modern drama, to be exact, an excerpt from the modern Peking Opera "The White-Haired Girl". Although there was something wrong in the middle, the snowflakes made of white paper were underestimated, and it was not enough to play halfway, and finally Shengzhi made up with chalk ash in a hurry.
So, when the classmate in charge of playing Yang Bailao came down, the whole Santa Claus, and it was a zombie version. It's also a shame that chalk ash is used, and if you use flour, it is estimated that it will be more pleasant. What do you think, this heavy snow has closed the mountain for more than ten days, and Yang Bailao went out for a walk home, with two taels of snow-white flour on his head......
The "White-Haired Girl" in Huaxia Siqi's class is obviously stronger than "Thunder (Shower) Rain" in terms of pronunciation and dialogue design. Although the performance was a bit stiff, it was no surprise that he got the highest score so far.
When Huaxia Siqi and others returned to the stage to bow and take a curtain call, in exchange for unanimous praise and warm applause from the teachers and students in the audience, Wang Yali, who was waiting for the results behind the scenes, almost didn't get mad on the spot. It doesn't matter if she loses to Jin Weihong, she is originally in the same class, as long as she doesn't lose to Zhao Qingru, Wang Yali is not so stingy.
Who would have thought that the person in the second class next door would beat her. Wang Yali was depressed in her heart.
"Hey, it seems to be out of action this time." On the side, a classmate who participated in "Thunder (Shower) Rain" sighed quietly.
"No, who hasn't performed yet."
"Pull it down, I heard Xiaofei say that Zhao Qingru didn't rehearse much at all."
"It's good to be a 'dead horse as a live horse doctor'. It's not the second place to do it. ”
"Then let's try as hard as we can on the four dead horses." Before the words fell, Zhao Qingru was obviously laughing with a teasing chuckle, which frightened the two who were whispering behind him hurriedly explained.
"That Zhao Qingru, we don't mean that either......"
"Understand, no one wants to lose. But let's get the trouble of letting, it seems like it's the turn of the four of us below. Without waiting for Jiang Yafei to finish speaking, the people who were still blocking there took the initiative to make way out. It's just that everyone looked at the things that Zhao Qingru moved, and doubts came out one by one.
Obediently, these ...... Isn't that too much......
Why, how can there still be a basin?
When everyone came back to their senses, they heard the sound of the host announcing the curtain from the other side of the stage.
"The next program, the sophomore English class 1 individual group "The Fisherman and the Goldfish", performers Zhao Qingru, Jiang Yafei, Qian Yinan and Tao Youran."
The story of "The Fisherman and the Goldfish" is actually very simple, it was originally a cartoon in the former Soviet Union. As a result, Zhao Qingru re-arranged it into a simple sitcom. The backdrop is simple, just a few sets of different houses where the fisherman and the fisherwoman live on cardboard and the sea background to match.
The only thing that didn't cut corners was probably the clothes of the insatiable fisherwoman, and the carp outfit of the cute little goldfish. Jiang Yafei plays the fisherwoman, Qian Yinan is the cute (pitiful) little goldfish who is exploited, and Tao Youran is in charge of the honest fisherman. And Zhao Qingru is responsible for the switching of the background and all the sides.
All roles are determined by lottery. Although on the surface, Qian Yinan is more suitable for fishermen, Tao Youran is suitable for little goldfish, and Zhao Qingru may be better for fisherwomen, but the final effect is not bad.
Not to mention the story, in the process of performance, it brought a lot of comedic effects, which caused everyone to laugh, but the most eye-catching is probably the dialogue. Not to mention Zhao Qingru's fluent rice-style English pronunciation, even Qian Yinan, who has the weakest spoken English among the four, is also fluent in English one by one. And the three characters have their own different ways of speaking, and there is a lot of colloquial language in them.
The reason why the school wants to toss this activity is actually to exercise the students' abilities in all aspects. Now it seems that the effect is obvious, and the gap is really not small.
The final score was the highest on the field without surprise. I thought that this time it would be like that, and the four of Zhao Qingru should be able to sit firmly in Diaoyutai. Who would have thought that there would be another surprise on the freshman side. Zhou Wenyan's English class also handed in a score that was no worse than Zhao Qingru's group. In the end, with a very weak result, that is, a gap of a few points, narrowly defeated Zhao Qingru's team.
"Teacher Qin, Wenyan is a student in your class this week. It's really better than blue. The head of the department looked very happy, patted Teacher Xiao Qin's shoulder, and laughed so much that he couldn't even see his teeth.
"Where, where." Although Mr. Xiao Qin was very happy in the letter, he still had to be polite.
On the other side, after Zhao Qingru knew that his team's results were lost to Zhou Wenyan, he smiled and said hello to Zhou Wenyan: "Wenyan, it's good." Won the first place without a sound. Congratulations. ”
Faced with Zhao Qingru's down-and-out generosity, Zhou Wenyan was obviously stunned, and then said a little shyly: "Actually, I still think that Sister Qingru, yours is better than mine." ”
"The champion of your class is well deserved, really." Zhao Qingru motioned to Zhou Wenyan to look at the other side, and said softly, "Even I didn't know that your spoken English was so good, and I don't know who you learned it from." ”
"That's, that'...... There is an aunt near my house who used to stay in foreign ......" Zhou Wenyan didn't expect Zhao Qingru to mention her spoken language so straightforwardly, and Zhou Wenyan, who vaguely seemed to think of something, hurriedly praised Zhao Qingru, "Actually, Sister Qingru, your spoken language is good." It sounds like the pronunciation of the United States. ”
"Okay, okay, can you two stop complimenting each other." Qian Yinan lost his patience and couldn't help but interject on the side.
"By the way, Sister Qingru, there is something, I want to ...... Ask ......"
"Just ask me if there's anything going on."
"That's it, that Doctor Xu, are you very familiar?" Zhou Wenyan blushed shyly, and only spoke softly after a while.
"Dr. Xu?" Zhao Qingru's brows were obviously twisted together, and her face, which was still smiling, also restrained her smile, "What are you asking him to do?" (To be continued.) )
