Chapter 760 Mr. (3)

Next chapter

Most schools in the United States have drama education, and the content varies by grade level. Drama classes in primary schools mainly train students to speak with a clear and loud voice, control their limbs and make various movements, and develop self-confidence.

After junior high school, students are exposed to storytelling, improvisation, and script acting. Those who continue to participate in high school are true theater lovers, who spend a lot of time rehearsing, performing on campus, or competing at regional or national theater festivals.

American actors don't care about their professional backgrounds, it is precisely because of this most basic soil and developed industrial culture that they are stepping to the top of the world.

Besides, Chu Qing was dragged by two little girls to the small theater of the school, and there were forty or fifty people busy inside. He swept around, slightly surprised, except for the director who was a teacher, the rest of the scenes, props, lighting, sound effects, and assistant directors were all students.

And when the teacher saw him, he took the initiative to come over and greet: "Hi, Chu, I'm Steve." ”

"Hey, I'm not bothering you, are I?"

"Of course not, students want you to give me guidance."

"Uh, I don't know much about your stuff, just came over and had a look."

He politely refused, joking, people are the leading teachers, what is the matter with me jumping out coldly? Sure enough, Steve's attitude was much more enthusiastic, and Balabala began to introduce the repertoire.

The two little girls pouted, disappointed.

What everyone is arranging is a famous American drama "Our Town". The town is called Glover Point, with hundreds of families and a total of 2,642 people, and the plot revolves around the Gibbs family and Webb's family, with only three acts.

The first act is a daily day in the town, and it is also when the protagonists are young. In the second act, the protagonist is an adult, and the two are happy. In the third act, the heroine died in childbirth, but she learned that there was another chance to return to the world for a while, so she chose her twelfth birthday.

Chu Qing had never heard of Thornton Wilder, let alone watched the play, so he remained polite and reluctantly listened.

Steve talked for a while, Xu saw the embarrassment of the other party, immediately stopped, and said, "We're going to rehearse, if you don't mind, just sit down." ”

"Please, I can do it myself."

With that, he walked over to the audience and found a random seat. There was a mess all around, vanity cases, wigs, school bags, clothes from the last century, and scripts......

Hey?

He picked it up and saw the owner's name written on the title page: Tony.

A blue-eyed boy flashed in his mind, he was a little surprised, he felt that the other party was a very withdrawn guy, but he didn't expect to be a member of the club.

"Everyone, prepare!"

“5，4，3，2，1……”

At this moment, there was a sudden silence on the stage, and the rehearsal began.

This should be the plot of the third act, the hero and heroine don't know each other, Ellie and Ophelia are the two big actors. Tony is a supporting character with a lot of lines.

To be honest, there was nothing to see at all, he came to join in the fun in order to familiarize himself with the environment, let alone give any guidance. A big demon king ran into a group of little kids and pretended to be *forced.,Low exploded!

……

"Goodbye, world. Goodbye, Glover Point...... Goodbye, my alarm clock, mom's sunflowers, food and coffee, freshly ironed clothes, and a hot shower, going to bed and waking up. Oh, life you are so wonderful that no one can recognize your goodness. ”

"Click!"

Steve shouted to stop, beckoned the heroine and said, "Jenny, your monologue is completely unemotional, it's as thirsty as a desert, you have to continue to figure out the psychology of the characters." ”

"But I've read it so many times, and I think that's how it should be." The little girl was not convinced.

The meaning of this scene is to feel the beauty of life again, and at the same time there is a ......" Before he finished speaking, he heard someone say: "Mr. Steve, I have finished my part, I want to go back first." ”

"Okay, you're good to go." He didn't even look back, he was used to it.

"Thank you!"

Tony answered, and ran to the banquet to tidy up his schoolbag, and put it away, suddenly feeling like it was missing.

"Sorry, I'll take a look."

A clean and slender left hand stretched out next to him, and it was the script in his hand.

“……”

Tony was stunned, then snatched it and flashed his bag with his bag.

Chu Qing was also stunned, I just looked at the script, so I wouldn't be angry, right? He watched the child disappear outside the door, so he shrugged his shoulders and continued to watch the play.

This look is at six o'clock, which can be regarded as an intuitive impression of the student's drama, one word is boring, two words are weak, and three words are baa!

The most terrifying thing is that the two fan girls are obviously deceiving, and there is no end at all. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he said goodbye to everyone, turned around and yawned.

All the way out of the campus, turn to the chapel, and poke at the bus stop. Tsk, that kind of love came up at once!

No matter how fun the day is, when I leave school, when the night gets darker, when I wait for the bus alone, the whole world seems to have nothing to do with me.

He carried a large bag on his back, habitually digging into his pocket and touching cigarettes, but his hands were empty.

"Heh......"

Chu Qing shook his head, no way, the role he set is not a smoker.

"Crunch!"

Five or six minutes later, the long bus stopped on the side of the road, and as soon as the door opened, the girl was suddenly amused, and it turned out to be the same driver in the morning.

"Hi and good evening!"

"Hey, do you work here?" The driver also remembered him.

"Yes, I'm a teacher."

"Oh, great profession!" That dude was half-joking.

There were fewer people in the car, only two passengers, and he sat at the back of the car and opened the window.

With a breeze blowing and a damp smell, the evening is bustling in Salt Lake City, one of America's financial centers and vacation destinations.

Chu Qing looked at the street scene, but he was thinking about tomorrow's lesson, and the distinctive urban buildings were crossed one by one in front of him, with ****** halls with spires, dense commercial buildings, and secluded and narrow alleys......

Well?

He jerked the pull cord, and the word "stoprequest" flashed on the display in front of the driver. But the car didn't get to the place, and drove a few hundred meters before slowly approaching the station.

"Bang!"

He almost jumped to the ground, took a big stride and ran back.

…………

"Hey, boy! Don't look at me with your pretty eyes, I'm afraid I'll be able to resist a stab. ”

A bald guy with a ring of lips, holding a knife in his right hand and pulling Tony's hair in his left hand, said, "You're late today, what punishment do you want?" ”

"Please, I won't next time!"

"Next time? No, no, children will always make excuses, and the only way for them to remember is to ......"

As he spoke, he suddenly shook his hand, and the knife slashed at the other party's face. Tony struggled and screamed as the blade grazed against the wall with a thud.

"Hahaha! Look at the way he looks, poor little one, you can't pee your pants, do you? ”

The man pretended to succeed and looked very proud, and his companion next to him was also mocking again and again. And Tony lay on the ground, his shoulders trembling, frightened.

These two guys are only in their twenties, and at first glance they are deflated. After the bald head laughed enough, he took out a small bag of things from his inner arms, and was just about to give it to Tony, when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps at the entrance of the alley.

"What are you doing?"

“fu*ck！”

The bald head scolded, not wanting to make any trouble, and quickly fled with his companions.

Chu Qing rushed in a few steps, paused, or helped Tony up first, and asked, "How are you?" ”

"It's fine!"

The boy wiped his nose, his hands were covered in blood, and there was a large bruise on his forehead.

"It's okay, I'll take you to the hospital."

“no！”

Tony suddenly shouted, like a fried cat, and then his tone slowed down: "Thank you, Mr. Chu, I can do it myself." ”

Obviously reluctant to talk more, he broke away from the other party's hand and limped out. How could Chu Qing not care, and said, "If you don't want me to find your classmates and parents, you'd better sue me yourself." ”

“……”

The boy stopped, turned around and said, "There's nothing to say, you can see it, they're beating me, I'm lying on the ground, that's all!" ”

"Who are they? Why hit you? ”

"Heh, Mr. Chu, do you want to avenge me? If not...... Sorry, I'm leaving. ”

Tut!

This kind of bear child is the most annoying! obviously can't bear anything, and he pretends to have a sense of seeing through the vicissitudes of the world. Come on, do you think everyone is Matilda and then saved by Uncle Leon?

Chu Qing was too lazy to talk nonsense, and stepped forward to grab his collar.

"Let go of me! Let me go! ”

Tony couldn't break free, so he had to stare at him angrily and was dragged into a taxi.

The two returned to the apartment, and Chu Qing checked it first, except for nose bleeding and bumps, there was no major problem. Then, he rummaged through the refrigerator and said apologetically, "Sorry, there's only a sandwich and half a sausage left." ”

"It's okay."

The kid was a little bit broken, sitting on the sofa expressionless, waiting for the food to be served, and then devouring it, obviously very hungry.

"What's your family's phone number? I informed them to come and pick you up. He said suddenly.

"There's no need, I'll go back by myself."

"Either I'll take you home, or your parents will pick you up." He has a tough attitude.

“……”

Tony put down the sandwich, looked up at the other party, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, I understand the mood and satisfaction that you want to be a good teacher, ok, if you want to talk to me, then I'll talk about it...... I lost my father when I was five and slept in a sleeping bag in the living room since I was eight while my mom and her boyfriend smoked in bed. I had very bad grades, I didn't have friends, and the people around me hated me. I was blackmailed by a group of thugs just now, and I happened to be bumped into by you, thank you for helping me out, but I have nothing to repay...... Okay, that's all, is there anything else to ask? ”

“……”

Chu Qing was embarrassed, really embarrassed. Frankly speaking, he does have a psychology of saving runaway teenagers and conveying love and justice. There's no way, the spicy teacher is a basic routine.

But at this moment, what is in front of him is not a film and television work that can make the world peaceful by playing with a mouthpiece, but a living child. Especially half an hour ago, he was still despising the child's naivety and middle school disease.

"I seem to have messed up the atmosphere, sorry!"

After a moment of silence, Tony suddenly spoke, and said, "Mr. Chu, you are a good person, if you don't mind taking me in for one night, I will be grateful for it for the rest of my life." ”

"Oh, no problem, you can sleep ......," he said in a panic.

"I'll sleep on the couch!" The other party takes the lead.

"Well, let's take a shower first."

He didn't know what to say, so he could only say this.

After tossing for a while, Tony took a hot bath, seemed to regain some energy, and was a beautiful young man who was white and pure. One on the couch, one on the bed, no goodnight.

……

This night, Chu Qing slept very unsteadily.

I don't know how long it took, he slowly opened his eyes, felt that the sky was already bright, and looked at his phone again: 5:30. When he came out of the bedroom, he saw that the living room was quiet, the quilt was neatly folded, but the person had already left.

"Alas......"

Chu Qing sighed, gushing out a great sense of helplessness and frustration. Confused, brush your teeth and wash your face, put on your suit, put on your big bag, and start the next day's life as a teacher.

The air outside is clear, the sun is soft, and the bus stop is still alone. Fortunately, the car came quickly, he lifted his foot to get into the car, reached out and touched his pocket, and suddenly realized that the thickness was wrong.

I took it out and looked, and sure enough: two $50 and three $20 bills, which cost 30 dollars yesterday, but now, only one $50 and one $20 remain...... (To be continued.) )
