Chapter Seventy-Eight: Bai Shiqiu, a good student of Chinese opera
The time has entered April, and the capital is already full of spring, and the students have been studying in school for a while, but there is a news spread.
"College Student Theatre Festival?"
"Is it reliable?"
"I heard that it was led by Chinese opera, so it should be reliable."
"But watching a play? Who is still watching this year? ”
"It should be a drama, there must be someone, Peking Opera is not singing?"
"That's called the quintessence of the country, do you understand?"
The College Student Drama Festival, this matter has already spread, and the major colleges and universities in the capital are now on the bulletin board, and sometimes they see people coming to hand out leaflets.
Drama, stage plays, dramas, is indeed a little cold at the moment, but there are still a lot of enthusiasts, especially many literary and artistic young people in the school, so such a stage that can show themselves, those flyers have said, our college student drama festival, the time will be in September, ten consecutive days, and the students who sign up need to form their own troupe, and simply make some props and costumes by themselves.
These are still very tempting, and many students who want to try them are tempted.
What if you're not a professional?
What if it catches fire?
But at this time, in the play, it is like a storm.
"What's going on!? What's going on? What is a college student theater festival? Who promised? It's that white autumn again! Didn't you say that before? Let this kid stop a bit, and now? ”
As the head of the acting department, Mr. Huang was furious and gathered the teachers in the department to hold a meeting together.
The theme of this meeting is to discuss how to deal with that Bai Shiqiu.
Director Huang is really angry, didn't he tell Bai Shiqiu that this kid stopped before? Don't do anything?
As a result, now, I don't act, but what kind of drama festival has I made?
It's a slap in the face!
"Xiao Huang, why do you keep staring at that Bai Shiqiu? What's wrong with him this time? "Teacher Chang came to protect the calves again at this time.
Director Huang knew that Teacher Chang would come out, so he squinted and smiled: "Old Chang, I don't know why this kid thinks about you like this, but what this kid is doing now, how do you still defend him?" He pretended to be in the name of our Chinese drama, swaggering outside, how big of a deal is this? What does he want to do!? What kind of theater festival is that, and what are the approvals? What are the procedures!? ”
Teacher Chang smiled, "It's not easy to approve such a thing as a drama festival?" They made it themselves, at best, it's experimental, but it can actually be seen as a party, why not? A group of students came out to act, but they didn't go out on the street? Even the police can't take care of it, right? Xiao Huang, you're in too much control. ”
Teacher Chang is naturally angry in her heart, this Xiao Huang calls her old, how can she still have a little respect?
How can I say that I am also a meritorious teacher, how many actors and actresses are there among my students?
You kid is just very good at handling all aspects of relationships, and you can send our students out so that they all have work, although this matter is also important, but the wings are not strong enough.
The two of them are really competitive.
Director Huang immediately grasped the key, "It doesn't matter what he wants to do, but why do you have to use the signboard of our Chinese opera?" He's just a student in our acting department, what do the leaders above think about this? ”
Teacher Chang did not show weakness, "Beiterracotta Hutong is the backstreet of our school, and if there is a drama festival in such a close place, we should not have seen any Chinese opera?" Blind? If we don't know the costumes, then if this drama festival makes a little movement, what will others think of us? ”
"That can't be without the system!"
"Our school didn't spend a penny! He has just put up the platform now, as for what is going on, let's just say that he cheated and did something bad, but it hasn't happened yet, so we have to condemn him now? ”
"By then, it's too late! We're all done! ”
"I believe in my students! Besides, why would he do a bad thing? He has a good future now, as an actor wins awards, rehearses and sells for money, the future is limitless, why should he ruin himself? ”
"That's not going to work either! Who agrees with him using our Chinese drama sign?! ”
The two of them are fighting for a fight, and they all have their own reasons, and the teachers don't know what to do, and at such a time when the smell of gunpowder is full.
A man came in, an old man with white hair.
"I agree!"
Just such a sentence, Director Huang was silent at that time.
When Teacher Chang saw it, would he still be happy?
"Old Xu, why are you here?"
"If I don't come, how can I see someone in this performance department playing such a big official power!"
This old Xu is the current honorary principal of Chinese opera, Mr. Xu Xiaozhong, the so-called honorary principal, everyone understands that he has taken a back seat when he is old, and he used to be a leader. Then as soon as he appeared, he said such a sentence.
All the teachers present understood that Mr. Chang played ruthlessly.
Do you still need to think about it?
Teacher Chang has long informed Mr. Xu that there is no problem with the use of the name of Chinese opera in the college student drama festival, in fact, it is not a big deal, the students themselves have a drama festival, the experimental nature, just hang the name of the school, the school has no money, this is nothing bad, not to mention anything else, is there less enterprises hanging on Peking University and Tsinghua University? That's all business.
And I didn't tell Director Huang about this...... This is a great hand.
Director Huang immediately understood that he had lost, but he was also a powerful person, so he immediately changed his face, "Old Xu, you may not know the details of this matter, that Bai Shiqiu, he is a ......"
Before Director Huang could finish speaking, Xu Lao immediately interrupted him, "Why don't I know?" Let me tell you Xiaohuang, I know everything, and not only me, Comrade Yongde and Comrade Guofu, they also know it. What's so bad about this? How far has the drama come now? Where are there festivals and races in this area? Now there's a student out there to do this, what's wrong with that? Especially this Bai Shiqiu, I want to praise him! How much is this student emancipating his mind and making bold innovations in line with the principles of our reform and opening up? And he didn't wait or rely on it, he didn't ask the school for a penny, right? Didn't ask the state for a penny, did you? He is a student of our Chinese opera, why does he go out and carry the signboard of our Chinese opera? Not to mention that he is still in school now, that is, he has graduated, what has he done, and what can we do with Chinese opera? Besides, this is obviously a good thing, what is not supported!? ”
At this point, Director Huang is not stupid, he immediately admitted his mistake, and said that he didn't know enough, but he felt that it seemed to conflict with the system.
Don't say it, this Xiao Huang can be the director, and he is indeed extremely fast, if he says this, who can punish him?
But Mr. Xu Xu was listening to it, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face, thinking in his heart.
If Bai Shiqiu was also present at this time, and this kid heard Xu Lao praise him like this, then this kid's tail wouldn't go up to the sky?
In this game, although Director Huang did not receive any punishment, he lost face, and I am afraid that the future will not be easy, and Teacher Chang won a big victory, of course, she is also old, and I am afraid that she has no luxury for power, but at least this Xiao Huang does not dare to make trouble anymore.
In the end, Mr. Xu also said: "I think this college student drama festival has great potential, I must report to the superiors, and we should pay attention to it." ”
As soon as these words were spoken, all the teachers knew in their hearts that this drama festival was probably about to rise.
But with these changes, Bai Shiqiu, who was in the center of the whirlpool, really didn't know.
"Lao Bai, why do you say that you kid is holding a theater festival?"
"Yes, Lao Bai, what can we get in this theater festival? I'm not in the eye for money, but Lao Bai, are you really selfless and dedicated to this kind of person? ”
Bai Shiqiu and they were rehearsing the new play, which was "He Kills", and during the rehearsal break, Zhang Mo and Zhou Shen pestered Bai Shiqiu about the theater festival.
And in the face of this problem, Bai Shiqiu was really a little speechless, because in his opinion, this is such a simple matter.
Forget it, since that's the case, let's explain.
"You two, think about it, how much can I spend on this theater festival? That little theater isn't expensive, is it? Propaganda planning, this is all done by Yuan Hong, handing out leaflets, right? And then what is the effect? With so many students in Beijing and major famous schools, there are young talents from all over the world, can there be no drama talents? I'll just talk about the general result, let's say the most conservative, there are ten plays to participate in our theater festival, there are our Chinese opera and Beiying, let's say the least, in the end, there are three plays that are favored by experts and media reporters, these three plays, let's help, so that they can go to the Capital Theater to perform, okay? ”
"This ......" Zhang Mo and Zhou Shen still didn't get around.
Bai Shiqiu was about to shoot them, but he held back and said, "Isn't this drama festival a good publicity?" And we have done so much and helped them so much, to be able to perform at the Capital Theater, and there are so many audiences, then we ...... Draw a box office 5 percent, not much, right? ”
Not much?!
Zhang Mo and Zhou Shen suddenly realized at this time, and thought of it at the same time in their hearts.
Lao Bai, you are so black......
