[Chapter 03: Commitment] (3) Nala, who ran away
Tang Qingyou wanted to answer, "Okay, I'll think about it again." But he hesitated and couldn't speak. Because above her heart, a sword of Damocles hangs at this moment, always reminding her that after dawn is the countdown to the press conference. Her mind flashed quickly through the days of being nervous and tired for many times and not daring to speak out in the past month, but it seemed that it was just a dream that had just ended, and there was no pain to learn from. So, she tried to recall how she reacted after listening to Minglan's recommendation, hoping to find the way to come and make plans again.
After thinking about it carefully, Tang Qingyou found that it only took a second for him to choose the road under his feet. At that time, Minglan just casually proposed: "I have a piece of information here, you can refer to it." The Nanshan Grand Theater is about to open, and it should be recruiting, I remember you said that you played dramas for a while when you were studying? Why don't you go over there and have some fun first? As soon as she heard it, her eyes seemed to light up, and she answered casually: "Okay, okay!" At that moment, she thought of her past when she was mixed in the school drama club, and the days when she was the heroine.
In that youthful time, because her line skills were so solid that she was close to the bones of the drama, she became the pillar of the Pingsheng Drama Club with a long history, and was once regarded as the queen of drama by alumni.
It was during the time she was the queen that she met Tu Yiran, who had begun to enter the "altar". So much so that she soon became a "servant of God" - this is the analogy of Fei Dong, the gold medal producer of the Pingsheng Drama Club and her own brother, when a group of people laughed after hearing it, saying that Fei Dong described it appropriately and vividly.
At that time, Tu Yiran had already gotten rid of the identity of a PE rookie for some time, focusing on the Internet industry, often wandering around major universities and youth entrepreneurship bases, and found that good products would be directly VC...... Therefore, it is very popular in the college circle and youth entrepreneurship circle, and is often invited to give lectures, do entrepreneurial guidance, and so on. But Tang Qingyou didn't know anything about all this, at that time, she was the "queen of drama" with the glory of being talented in the student circle, but she was just a sophomore in the Department of Journalism and Communication who didn't know the price of rice and loved drama, running between teaching buildings, dormitories, canteens and drama clubs every day, spending the fixed living expenses given by her parents, never thinking about whether she would not be able to find a job after graduation, whether she would encounter difficulties in life, the biggest trouble is nothing more than the fourth and sixth levels to pass early, and don't fail the annoying C language, The whole person is simple and happy from the inside out.
And life is so interesting, suddenly one day, things that are usually rare happen one after another, and the final result directly changes half of her life.
On that day, Fei Dong, the gold medal producer of the drama club, and Tang Qingyou, the queen of drama, combined their swords for the new drama "A Doll's House", performed in the school's multi-purpose theater for a trial performance, and the 500-seat audience that was full on weekdays was actually sparsely attended by less than 50 people. Tang Qingyou's professionalism seems to be innate, and he desperately comforted the students of the drama club backstage, and took the five actors to complete the normal performance meticulously. When the young and vigorous Fei Dong learned about the reasons for the absence of a large number of teachers and classmates, he did not stay in the multi-purpose theater to watch his results, and went straight to the auditorium - at the same time, an Internet elite forum was being held in the school auditorium, and one or two dozen domestic Internet entrepreneurship stars and a number of investment experts gathered together, and the seats of thousands of people were overcrowded, and a large number of people from outside the school poured in, and even the aisles were crowded with people.
Fei Dong has a wide range of people, found someone to lead the way, directly entered the front row of the audience from the side stage, and grabbed a microphone in the Q&A link, and went straight to one of the investment experts who had just finished sharing the theme and asked: "Today, our school has a history of nearly 50 years of Pingsheng Drama Society's new drama "A Doll's House" audition, the audience is absent and came to the auditorium to listen to the success of entrepreneurship and prosperity, do you think this is because today's forum gives too much dry goods that are too beneficial to the body and mind, or is the impetuous art of people is not welcomed? The investment expert who inexplicably hit the muzzle of the gun is Tu Yiran.
Tu Yiran was young and ambitious, he has always been the pride of the sky, and he rarely encountered such a stunned provocation, and he was aroused at the moment, and changed his usual words like gold: "It may be because everyone has learned political economy well and knows that the economic foundation determines the superstructure." In the midst of the laughter in the room, he added: "But listening to this classmate, I am full of yearning for your drama, I wonder if we will have time to watch Nala run away after the forum?" ”
Fei Dong obviously didn't expect this step, the host hurriedly jumped out and asked about the duration of the drama, saying that it was a pity that the drama started first, and the forum should end less than 1/3 of the time.
The topic was about to be revealed, and Shen Bo, a heavyweight guest who has never played cards according to the rules, walked to the stage and inserted a bar: "Then ask the crew to come to the forum to perform an additional performance!" Just so let's take a look! We have covered the performance fee of the crew! We have to change the theme of today, we not only have entrepreneurial books, but also poems and distances! ”
The applause of the audience was thunderous, wave after wave, and all kinds of shouts, screams, and whistles directly stunned Fei Dong.
The host made a plan adjustment, the intermission of 15 minutes was changed to 10 minutes, the second half was postponed by 10 minutes, and a total of 15 minutes were squeezed out to arrange a fragment performance for the drama club.
Fei Dong came to the door to theorize, and was beaten by three old foxes, but he accidentally received a title fund, mixed mood, and returned to the backstage of the theater with a sigh of breath and hurriedly began to negotiate the performance of the clip.
The whole experimental performance of the 500-person venue has become a fragment demonstration performance for the occasion of 5,000 people, and it is definitely the most reasonable to arrange the male and female protagonists to play against each other.
The whole crew was filled with the unexpected joy of winning the title, and they coaxed the Buddha to fight for a stick of incense, and people fought for a breath, so that the drama queen could go to 5,000 people who lost money to set up a FLAG for the school drama club and Chinese drama.
At this time, Tang Qingyou will definitely not drop the chain, so he took a curtain call to make up for his makeup, and happily took the actor "Helmao" to the auditorium.
Tang Qingyou brought to the forum scene was the showdown between Nala and Helmao, when she said the classic line, "Now I only believe, first of all, I am a person, a person like you - at least I want to learn to be a person." At that time, the audience was silent, as if it was a sin to drop a needle, and it would surprise the beauty of this beauty. At that moment, everyone's eyes were silently and eagerly projected on "Nala", forgetting to breathe and forgetting time.
Later, Tu Yiran told her that it was the first time he had seriously observed a girl, and then, remembered.
At the end of the performance, the host routinely interviewed the male and female leads, asked for their names, and praised that they couldn't make up the lines after they performed so well, and in a hurry, he pulled out the initiator Tu Yiran: "How do you think Mr. Tu is performing?" Is the naming fee well spent? Later, Tang Qingyou learned that the host didn't mention Shen Bo's name because he couldn't afford to provoke him, so he only dragged Tu Yiran as a shield, although later, Tu Yiran couldn't be provoked.
Tu Yiran didn't seem to listen to the host's question, walked to Tang Qingyou's side by himself, and looked at the female protagonist who made his vision fresh for 15 minutes meaninglessly: "She looks very modern, and her name is very classical." Do you have any allusions to your name? ”
Tang Qingyou smiled in front of the crowd in the entire auditorium: "Guess what? The crisp timbre dragged a little bit of the tail note just right, and it dissolved into the sound system, bringing out a bit of surround stereo effect, and the whole auditorium seemed to echo in the air. It's hard to think about. This moment was recorded in its entirety, and it was selected as a necessary "flirtatious textbook" for girls in the school.
At that time, the corners of Tu Yiran's mouth were hooked, revealing a rare smile: "Little junior sister, we are reading the same book." I still have a few sentences memorized, for example, Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart. ”
The title of the post at the top of the school's BBS that day was: "Poetic love at first sight - investment god VS drama queen, are you in your team for this couple?" Tu Yiran and Tang Qingyou were on the campus voting couple list.
Soon they really lived up to expectations and became a couple. Half because of the god-like Tu Yiran who took the initiative to pursue, and half because the people who eat melons have matched. Tang Qingyou is the queen of campus dramas with her own luminous body on stage, Yu Tu Yi said that winning her means conquering this campus, harvesting beauty and traffic, no matter how you look at it, it is a good deal. What's more, Tang Qingyou is beautiful, talented, and obedient, each of these individual items is enough to satisfy his male vanity to a certain extent. Under the momentum of the masses, he can easily hug the beauty by pushing the boat down the river, why not do it? For Tang Qingyou, Tu Yiran has an aura that she can't take her eyes off, even if she may be a moth to a fire in the past, she can't refuse the deep desire for light and heat in her heart, as well as the vanity that is difficult to contain on the surface. ——The love between a beautiful college student and a new male god in the investment industry falls in the eyes of ordinary people, and in the final analysis, it is just a human vanity that conforms to the principle of equivalent exchange in line with the laws of the market.
This is how the story of the two of them began with a beautiful time of envy to everyone. So much so that later, Tang Qingyou interned at Yida Culture for more than a year under Tu Yiran's arrangement, and reported directly to Yida Culture on the day of graduation, which was also natural and natural in the eyes of people.
In fact, people don't know one thing, long before Tang Qing entered the Yida culture, Tu Yiran had a discussion with her about love and survival.
Tu Yiran asked her: "You love the stage and art so much, why didn't you take the art examination and go to art college?" ”
Tang Qingyou smiled: "The tuition fee of art schools is too expensive. ”
"Doesn't sound like a manager." Tu Yiran also smiled, probably for him, money is the least thing to worry about.
Tang Qingyou's answer was what the elders had said, but the question of whether tuition fees are expensive did not exist in her own thinking, and it was not even in the consideration of her parents. In the era when she was studying, the art examination was not as popular as it is now, and it was just a retreat left by the god of fate for poor students. She took the college entrance examination and enrolled in a comprehensive university, just because in her lackluster life, there was no option of art examination and art school. Tang Qingyou didn't think deeply about this question, so he asked him: "Do you think I should pursue art?" ”
Tu Yiran didn't answer, and asked her a question instead: "Do you know why the tuition fees of art schools are generally expensive?" ”
Tang Qingyou was asked, and his curiosity rose: "Why?" ”
Tu Yiran said seriously: "In order to prevent the children of poor families from going astray. It is too difficult for people who study art to get ahead, and it is difficult to find a job, and many children who study art have completed the expensive art school, and graduation means unemployment, and a careless will become a factor of social instability. Therefore, the tuition fee is set high, which can avoid too many people's brains from loving vanity and blindly volunteering. ”
Seems to make sense. Tang Qingyou sighed, nodded and said, "I shouldn't be a child of a poor family, but I am also a poor person." So, I didn't go to art school, right? ”
Tu Yiran stretched out his hand to smooth her long soft hair, and pretended to be a life coach: "Without firewood, rice, oil and salt, what are you talking about?" If you want to make your life better, try to learn more survival skills, so that you have no worries, and then pursue the art you love. ”
If Tu Yiran knew at the beginning that Tang Qingyou would one day become the "runaway Nala", I don't know if he would regret teaching Tang Qingyou the way of Tao Zhu in those years?
——Thinking of this, Tang Qingyou subconsciously took down his mobile phone, opened his e-bank account, and looked at the amount inside.
From this point of view, it seems that she should be grateful to Tu Yiran, putting aside love, from the perspective of two independent individuals, Tu Yiran can indeed be regarded as a mentor and friend. Because of his guidance and help, she now has enough net worth to be willful, even if it is not enough to be willful for a lifetime, but she can still afford to toss for a while as she wants.
But I vaguely felt that something was not quite right, and after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure it out, so I followed my intuition and made a choice for myself simply and rudely.
She secretly made up her mind, put her phone back to her ear, and said, "I figured it out, Sister Lan, I'll carry this matter." I remember the favor, and I will definitely return it to you slowly in the future. Can you just give me a ride? ”
She still decided that she would rather bear more personal debts alone to let the Nanshan Grand Theater open smoothly.
Ming Lan on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then showed an indescribable smile: "I hope you won't regret it in the future." ”
