Chapter 168: Need to Do Better
Shen Zhe slept in a daze, and suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
It must be a dream, ignore it, turn over and continue to sleep, I was very tired after sitting on the plane for more than ten hours, and I just slept for a while.
But the knocking on the door kept coming.
Looking out the window, it was still dark and quiet.
"Who is so rude, ...... in the middle of the night" Shen Zhe muttered and got up and walked over slowly.
When I opened the door, I immediately felt a thrill, and my sleepiness was swept away.
"Yuhan, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Yuhan was wearing pajamas, holding a pillow, and his eyes were vibrant. Pulled Shen Zhe, who was blocking the door, aside and walked into the house by himself.
"I'm so sleepy, I can't sleep. ”
"Ah," Shen Zhe rubbed his eyes and said strangely: "I can't sleep when I'm so sleepy, if I'm not sleepy, why don't you fly to the sky?"
"I don't know how. ”
Shen Zhe's eyes rolled, and he understood a little.
When I arrived in France, I was thousands of miles away from my hometown, basically under another sky, and I couldn't find a sense of security.
He is a traveler in time and space, and the whole world is a foreign land to him, and he has long been used to it, so he can sleep soundly wherever he goes. Lin Yuhan is different from him, when he first went to Yanjing to study, he kept calling him in the first few days.
"Hehe, then sleep with me. ”
Lin Yuhan's eyes were very energetic, but his brain was not very good, so he didn't hear Shen Zhe's tone and laugh, threw the pillow away, and lay down.
"I'll squint at you for a while......"
Shen Zhe was so happy that he turned upside down, and the chicken pecked the rice and said, "Welcome, welcome!"
Thinking in my heart, I sent the sheep into the tiger's mouth, no wonder I am, both of them are twenty years old, not considered minors, right?
Closing the door tightly, he was about to turn around and dig further into the pit, when he couldn't laugh or cry in his footsteps.
But seeing that Lin Yuhan's eyes were half-open and half-closed, Shen Zhe tentatively called twice and did not respond, and after a while, his breathing was smooth, and Meng Zhougong went.
That little bit of ghost thought was snuffed out as soon as it came to an end.
Shen Zhe looked at the small figure outlined by the pajamas on the bed, he couldn't sleep, and sat on the edge of the bed and sighed.
……
At eight o'clock in the morning Paris time, Lin Yuhan woke up slowly.
"What's wrong with you?"
Shen Zhe's eyes stared at her like a hungry wolf, and when he heard this, he said aggrievedly: "What do you say is wrong with me, don't you understand? The jet lag earned ten hours, and this time it was all lost!"
Lin Yuhan turned his head to think about it, and suddenly giggled.
"Make it up to me!"
Shen Zhe moved to catch her, his body shook suddenly, and he crossed his legs to enjoy the girl's spring sleep in the middle of the night, which was much more exhausting than moving a thousand bricks.
"I'll see you back in my room!"
Lin Yuhan's movements were flexible, and he was resting well at first glance, and Shen Zhe felt more and more unhappy.
When Qi Yue knocked on the door and came in, he saw Shen Zhe's eyes glazed and faintly bloodshot, and he laughed: "It was normal to see you yesterday, and I thought that I was super adaptable, but I revealed my original form overnight." ”
Qi Yue didn't come in alone, and there was a young man in his twenties behind him.
With yellow skin and black eyes, you are Chinese at a glance.
"Brother Qi, the reason is not enough to tell you...... By the way, has my application been approved, Mr. Xing?"
"Well, this is the application form, but after the script is reviewed, you will be asked to go there, and there will be a few rehearsals, and if you need to revise it, you will have to give your opinion. ”
Shen Zhe nodded, took the application form and filled it out.
Not to mention other projects, he still has a brief understanding of the stage performance schedule.
First of all, two-thirds of the script must be wiped out in the first review, otherwise, it will take half a month for dozens of college drama clubs participating in this project to appear on stage once. And then there is the live performance, anyway, these have little to do with Shen Zhe, he just needs to do a good job of the script. In fact, his script does not necessarily need to be revised, and the two protagonists of the drama club also think so.
"Who is this?"
When Shen Zhe was filling out the form, the young man next to him kept looking at him with the eyes of an idol, and he wanted to speak several times.
Qi Yue patted his head: "I forgot to introduce, this is the translator Chang Wenqi I found for you, I am currently studying in this school, and you will be my boss after a while, of course I have to help you arrange the trivial things, ha......"
"Hello Senior Chang. ”
Shen Zhe scratched the corners of his mouth, in addition to the editor-in-chief of the magazine, some people called him boss, this time it was because of the Dream Theater.
With the help of Chu Feiyan, the construction of the Yanjing Small Theater is almost complete. Dream Theater is the name given by Qi Yue and Zhao Honglei, and after taking over, it was commissioned and put into operation for a period of time to start their dream journey.
Of course, Shen Zhe had no objections.
Knowing that he is not the material to be the boss, he has made two investments in ignorance, whether it is a magazine or a theater, but his opinions have been opposed more.
"Shen Da!" Chang Wenqi was slightly excited.
Shen Zhe said: "Where is the big?"
"Dazai "The Little Prince", don't you know, our school is about to have a copy these days!"
"Really?" Shen Zhe was stunned for a moment, even if it was released globally at the same time, it seemed that it had only been a week, and it could be spread so widely?
Qi Yue smiled: "Brother Chang knew that I was looking for a translator for you, so he volunteered. ”
Chang Wenqi expressed his admiration again, and said: "When others see us Chinese students, they all inquire about you." ”
"Everyone is a young man, don't call me you, just call me Shen Zhe. Shen Zhe smiled, "I'm just like this, I guess I'm going to be disappointed when I see it, and I want to thank you for coming to help." ”
Chang Wenqi sighed: "Shen Dazhen is confident!"
Mistaking the sense of overlook on the mental age as self-confidence, Shen Zhe shook his head and didn't say much.
……
It was necessary to bring a translator, and although English could be used, it was more convenient to use French in Paris.
"The French consider French to be the most elegant and beautiful language in the world. Paris is a cosmopolitan city, and there are many English speakers, but when someone communicates with them in English, they mostly ignore it. English can only come in handy in public places such as airports, and if we see a demonstration, it may be terrible if we speak English when we see a crowd protesting......"
Shen Zhe, Lin Yuhan, and Chang Wenqi walked on the streets of Paris.
The legendary exotic style did not bring much touch to Shen Zhe.
After getting acquainted with it, I found that this international student from a city in southern China talked a lot.
"Yuhan, it seems that if you want to come to France to learn design, you must learn French. Shen Zhe turned his head to look at Lin Yuhan and said.
Lin Yuhan nodded.
"What are you talking about?" asked Chang Wenqi.
Shen Zhe then briefly explained the reason why they came to Paris.
"Oh, I know the ...... of those three schools" After knowing the purpose of the two, Chang Wenqi chattered again, introduced their advantages and disadvantages, and finally said: "As you plan, the Higher School of Fashion Design is the best choice." ”
"You can't see the parade today, right?" said Shen Zhe suddenly.
Chang Wenqi pouted: "Look at your luck, maybe you will run into it, big parades, small parades, they often do this." ”
"Free society. ”
"Hey, between a gang of robbers who have robbed for centuries, where is the freedom to speak of, tossing and turning. ”
Shen Zhe looked at the young man beside him in surprise.
This is rarely heard, and many people in China still yearn for the Western legend of freedom. In fact, Shen Zhe also has the opposite attitude in his heart, without him, although the system is different, human nature is the same, and there are similar expressions in many literary works. The so-called decentralization or centralization of power, but it is just a question of whether the right holder is divided into one or two, or several, all of which are bird-like, and have nothing to do with the small people, so it is better to care more about what to eat for breakfast. The Chinese political system is weird, and it is under the same criticism from the West as in its own life, but the Chinese people are more confident and can come and go.
"If you want to learn knowledge, it's good to come to study abroad. ”
Chang Wenqi came to a conclusion.
Shen Zhe praised in his heart and said, "It's good that everyone in Huaxia thinks so." ”
At around ten o'clock, the three of them came to the International Fashion Design Institute.
Founded in the 19th century, it is the world's first professional fashion school and one of the top three fashion design schools in the world. Graduates are sought-after and highly regarded by major corporations, and many independent, well-known designers have come from this campus.
"I loved it here. ”
After taking a turn in the school, Lin Yuhan suddenly said.
Shen Zhe said: "If you like it, you can take the test, and start preparing after returning to China, it is not difficult for you." ”
"How can you be more confident than me?"
"Anyway, it's two years from now, you're right, you always have to find something to do in your life. ”
……
The stage drama club led by Qi Yue and Zhao Honglei is very busy, and Shen Zhe is very leisurely.
Accompanied by Chang Wenqi, it took two more days to inspect the other two schools, and Lin Yuhan finally chose to apply for the Paris High School after a year.
The mission of the two of them to go abroad has been completed.
Finally saw the news of the march near the Gare du Nord on TV, Shen Zhe wanted to go to the scene to watch, but was stopped by Chang Wenqi.
"There are some dangers, so it's better to stay away. ”
After more than 10 minutes, the demonstration in the news footage turned into violent clashes between the police and the people, with glass bottles and rubber bullets flying indiscriminately.
Shen Zhe wiped a cold sweat.
The march was a protest by environmentalists against the government's construction of a dam in the south in defiance of public opinion.
Shen Zhehu asked: "What does the situation in the south have to do with the Parisians?"
Chang Wenqi shrugged: "Who knows, maybe it's to respond to each other, or maybe it's just habitual participation." The French call this the spirit of freedom, and the spirit of rebellion is in their bones, so there have been several iterations of revolutions throughout history. It is also said in our Chinese textbooks that the road is tortuous......"
"The future is bright?" Shen Zhe continued.
"Haha!"
After laughing, Shen Zhe frowned.
Chang Wenqi seemed to guess his thoughts, and said, "Don't worry too much, as long as you don't get involved, it's still very safe here." ”
Shen Zhexin said that there is no immigration crisis now, otherwise safety is really a problem.
When Lin Yuhan finished school, he flashed immediately.
When Shen Zhe was in Paris to comment on a demonstration, there was a lot of excitement in China.
Even the world is simultaneously hyping "The Little Prince", a work called a fairy tale.
And it does stand up to any test.
Of course, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the domestic media will not let go of such a good opportunity, and with the full promotion, the oriental culture of Zhonghai City is crowded with booksellers in various districts.
It is said that before a certain part of "Harry Potter" was released, a footbasin bookseller personally went to JK Rowling to obtain the distribution rights, and made millions of dollars in one fell swoop. I don't know if it's true or not. But to illustrate the value of a super-bestseller in this regard, it represents a huge amount of money, and even overnight riches.
This time, Oriental Culture did not spend a penny of advertising money, and the sensational effect caused by it made the industry jaw-dropping.
Because this is the first book in China to leverage global readers.
Shen Zhe handed the manuscript to Zhongli and shook it off, but his personal reputation had surpassed that of all best-selling authors, including the three Heavenly Kings.
Even if people forget, when they see "The Little Prince", they will inevitably think of his name again.
In comparison, illustrator Lin Yuhan is weaker.
Everyone only knows that she is also the author of the comic book version of "Shuck and Beta", but they don't know whether she is a man or a woman, what if she is an old lady?
Hu Zi, who has already become a senior fan of Shen's books, paid out of his own pocket to set up a large group of 5,000 people - Shen Zhe's book fan group
After it was published on the storytelling network, it was crowded in less than half an hour.
Then, Beard couldn't wait to announce in the group: Another best-selling king was born!
……
Shen Zhe himself has not yet received news of all this.
On April 18, he and Lin Yuhan came to the small hall of the First University, and today is the day when "Rhino in Love" appeared on the stage.
The auditorium appears to be a bit empty, which has a slight impact on the performance.
They were placed in the first row.
Shen Zhe felt as if he had returned to China, on the campus of Yan University, and when he looked behind him, there were almost all Chinese faces, except for the seven judges on the stage.
Spectator tickets were distributed free of charge, and Chinese students took full advantage of the large number of people, with nearly four-fifths of the 500 seats open and less than 100 tickets snatched by students from other countries.
After the official performance began, the BUG aura that Shen Zhe gave to the drama club completely exploded.
In the era when film and television dramas can show their ambitions, this drama still adheres to the last glory of the stage play, and the classics cannot be doubted.
Especially for young people.
As soon as it opened, it firmly attracted the attention of the audience, Shen Zhe had already seen it once, but today Qi Yue and they were more prepared, and he was even more shocked.
A 1:1 live-action performance is two completely different feelings from watching a movie.
For a while, I forgot to pay attention to the reaction of the audience behind me.
"It's so exciting!"
The applause that began to ring constantly proved the success of this drama, and as the plot progressed, the applause disappeared, and everyone entered it.
Towards the end, the water curtain fell from the sky, and Qi Yue, who played the road, was drenched.
Silent.
"It's too hard, isn't it?" Shen Zhe said in a low voice.
The weather of more than ten degrees is so good, and it will be unbearable for a while.
Shen Zhe can't change the setting casually, without this scene, the desperate atmosphere can't be highlighted, and Qi Yue himself doesn't agree to fix this paragraph.
At the curtain call, the seven judges, all of whom are proficient in Chinese, also smiled and applauded.
The original stage play of college students achieves this effect, and the champion is indisputable.
After leaving the venue half an hour later, Xing Zidong saw Shen Zhe and walked over with a smile and encouragement: "I look forward to you writing better works!"
This seems to be the attitude that all the teachers of Yan University most often express after knowing that he is Shen Zhe. In the words of the dean of the Faculty of Letters, you are not an ordinary student, of course, you can't be treated as an ordinary person, and if you can't do the best, you will fail.
As for what is the best, take the drama as an example, maybe the next one. (To be continued.) )
