Chapter 103 The foster father in the candlelight (please vote for me!)
Li Youzhi had careful thoughts in choosing "China in the Classics" as the performance of Tongchenshe's anniversary cultural week.
He didn't completely agree with what Chen Shuting said to him during the day.
From the perspective of drama performance, it is true that an excellent script can enhance the performance of actors. Acting in excellent classic scripts like "Teahouse" and "Thunderstorm" can indeed reflect the actor's skills.
But the problem is...this kind of classic script has been badly acted!
The National Theater is performing it, university drama clubs are also performing it, and even in the 1980s and 1990s, a group of the best domestic drama actors put these classic dramas on the movie screen.
With so many gems in front of me, no matter how well a university drama club performs, what's the use?
This school anniversary cultural week is obviously to welcome the exchange teams from the Provincial Department of Education and other universities. In the eyes of these people, even if Li Youzhi can raise the current team of Tongchen Society to the level of Zhuohua Society, that's actually the case.
It would be better to find another way and come up with something new.
Anyway, for now, no matter what the show is, the starting point for Tongchenshe is the same.
"China in Classics" is also an excellent drama. This program uses an innovative form of time and space dialogue to tell the origin and circulation of classics in the five thousand years of history, as well as the shining stories in the books.
Before Li Youzhi traveled through time, the popularity of this show was quite explosive.
Although we do not have the conditions to fully replicate the performance method of "China in Classics" drama + film and television + cultural interviews, as far as the drama part of the program is concerned, it is more than enough to hold a cultural week.
According to Li Youzhi's aesthetic standards, if a classic drama like "Teahouse" is 100 points, then the script of "Classics" can be given a score of 80 points.
But things can't be looked at from just one angle. A score of 80 is not necessarily inferior to a score of 100, just like... going to play with a young lady.
Technician No. 1 has perfect looks, but it has been 10 years since he debuted and his skin is tanned.
Technician No. 2 has an 80-point appearance, but he has just debuted and is in business for the first time.
Maybe Technician No. 2 is a little rusty in technique, maybe she is a little green in some aspects...
But is this a problem?
This is obviously a selling point!
Li Youzhi decided to be the No. 2 technician.
…
After sending the script to Chen Shuting, Li Youzhi uploaded the script to the group file of the Q group managed by Tongchenshe, and manually @Tu Susu, Liu Meng, Zhou Yuan, Gu Dong and Wang Hui.
The story of "Classics, Tiangong Kaiwu Chapter" mainly revolves around the life experience of Song Yingxing, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, and the process of compiling "Tiangong Kaiwu".
There are not many roles required and the rehearsal is relatively easy.
According to Li Youzhi's idea, the main role of Song Yingxing came by himself. In the original version, Sa Beining, the "scholar" character, wanted to change his sex and give it to Tu Susu. It's not because Tu Susu has a good image, but because this character needs to be the beginning of the entire drama and requires strong line skills.
As for other roles in the play, such as Song Yingxing's brother and best friend, they were left to Liu Meng and Zhou Yuan.
Other supporting characters who don't have many lines are screened among the three thousand gang members of Tongchen Society - this is the job of the villains.
The club decided to participate in the school celebration cultural week and put on a drama show, which immediately triggered the 3,000 members of Tongchen Club.
Originally, many people were not planning to take the train home on May Day, and were worried that they would not have much fun. Now that there is such a big event, the students are very excited.
After seeing the group announcement, more than 400 people who were determined not to leave school and return home immediately formed a logistics group.
Li Youzhi was quite satisfied with everyone's enthusiasm.
What is prestige! 【Tactical Retreat】
On Labor Day, more than 400 workers worked overtime in such great spirits that even the capitalists would cry with envy!
Feeling that people's hearts were available, Li Youzhi picked up the phone.
Now that the drama performance is basically settled, it is natural to inform netizens about such good news!
Thinking about it, he turned on his shaking hands, quickly edited an update and sent it.
[In order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the birth of Agricultural University, Tongchen Society of Agricultural University decided to participate in the campus cultural week and perform a large-scale drama performance. The drama performance is open to the public. If you have friends in Chengdu, you are welcome to come and watch! ]
Basically, this update is similar to the previous advertisement posted by Zhuohua News Agency.
The main theme is that if you use my name, I will go your way - leaving you with no way to go, hey hey hey!
Following the release of Li Youzhi's news, the comment area quickly received replies.
"What are you playing, little brother? It won't be a drama about anti-drugs, right? Will you also play a policeman? Looking forward to it!"
Seeing the first comment, Li Youzhi smiled lightly and replied casually.
"No, this campus cultural festival is mainly to celebrate the birthday of our alma mater. Our Tongchen Society is preparing to rehearse a drama performance that travels through history and dialogues between ancient and modern times."
His comment had just been published successfully, and several replies came immediately.
After taking a look at the "hahaha" words in the comment area, Li Youzhi's face darkened - do all the damn Lezi people live in shaking hands?
"Hahaha! Classmate Xiaozhi is also a cultural person now. He holds a drama performance. It's interesting, interesting!"
"Hahaha, in my opinion, it's boring, boring. What kind of drama are you doing? Wasn't the gala that we did before quite interesting? I haven't even seen enough of the skits about Big Sword!"
"That's right. During the campus culture week, you have to find something that cultural people should watch. For example, I am a Spring and Autumn student, and I especially like to watch COSLPAY. I suggest that I give us some new jobs in the drama club. The cosplay arrangements are here!”
"Ah, yes, yes! I am a student of historical records, and I would also like to read this! I suggest you do a cosplay during the cultural week, and I will set a small goal for you, the entire Tsukino Usagi!"
"The heretic in front of me is going to take my sword! The first-month hare of the Agricultural University has obviously found a home. I will always love Technician No. 298!"
Beep!
[Received a suggested task (organize Tongchen Society and perform a cosplay performance), the difficulty is four stars, and you will get a D-level reward after completing it]
[Received a suggested task (cosplay Tsukino Usagi at the Cultural Week), with a difficulty level of three stars, and you will get an F-level reward after completing it]
"..."
(￣┏∞┓￣)
Looking at the two new tasks that were refreshed on the system panel, Li Youzhi silently put his hands on his chin.
It is impossible to cosplay Tsukino Usagi, after all, not everyone is as perverted as my fierce brother.
But you can give this cospaly suggestion a try.
A costume cosplayer, he’s a cosplayer too!
It just so happens that the costumes for the drama performance have not been prepared yet. I bought a few better Ming Dynasty costumes and walked around the school twice to take photos before the performance. Isn’t this task easily accomplished?
That’s it!
Thinking about it, Li Youzhi directly opened Taobao and searched for Ming Dynasty clothes.
When a row of exquisite pictures of gorgeous clothes were displayed in front of Li Youzhi, he opened his mouth wide.
Then, the search keywords were cleared directly.
"Poor family, high quality and low price Ming Dynasty costumes"
This time, although the clothes were slightly less exquisite, the price of a set of three to four hundred finally made Li Youzhi feel that his Huabei could support it.
"Tsk... the shape is about the same, and the fabric is about the same. It's just that the details are a little bit different. Wouldn't it be enough to just buy it and modify it yourself?"
Place an order!
According to the requirements of the script, Li Youzhi selected 9 sets of costumes and clicked payment directly.
…
The next day, Li Youzhi went to 21day early in the morning as usual and recorded iron for an hour.
At around eight o'clock, when he arrived at the activity room of Tongchen Club, he found that Tu Susu, Liu Meng and others had already started rehearsing in the activity room.
The person who organized them to familiarize themselves with the lines was Chen Shuting, who was wearing sportswear.
Seeing Li Youzhi, Chen Shuting looked awkward.
Li Youzhi could understand her reaction. After all, she, the instructor, had never been to Tongchen Club after it was founded, so she felt a little psychologically unfamiliar.
Being stared at by Li Youzhi with great interest, Chen Shuting blushed: "Why are you so late? Didn't I say that you will play the role of Song Yingxing yourself? Get ready. Let's go over the lines together later."
"No."
Regarding Chen Shuting's arrangement, Li Youzhi waved his hand.
"As for the rehearsal, just take it with you, Mr. Chen. You can take over my role in the rehearsal first. I'll have something to do later."
"What's more important than rehearsal?"
"There are so many costumes, props, sets...we haven't even prepared them yet."
Faced with Chen Shuting's "You're kidding me" look, Li Youzhi spread his hands.
You see, we also have this condition!
Ding ding ding.
At this moment, Li Youzhi's cell phone sent out a burst of message notifications.
After glancing at the screen, Li Youzhi waved to Chen Shuting: "Mr. Chen, you continue. Don't worry about me. I'll pick up a courier."
Looking at his back as he turned away, Chen Shuting let out a breath.
What a sin, if I had known that something like this would happen, Gao Luo would have to give something to Tongchen Society.
"Let's continue!"
Shaking her head to get rid of this hindsight thought, Chen Shuting called Tu Susu and the others to review her lines again.
After a while, Li Youzhi came back with a large pile of express mail.
He raised his chin at everyone to indicate that they should continue, then walked into the office and closed the door.
I turned on my computer and searched for information about Ming Dynasty costumes.
Facing those pictures of Chinese clothes with exquisite shapes and exquisite details, Li Youzhi smiled and opened a courier, and took out scissors, measuring tape, needle and thread...
In the past, he would not have dared to think like this.
But now with the blessing of [Spiritual Mind and Skillful Hands], those seemingly complicated things just seemed like that to him.
It's a problem that can be solved with just a few hands, but those profiteers dare to charge thousands!
Looking at the information picture, Li Youzhi opened a Ming Dynasty official costume and picked up scissors and needlework.
A few hours passed by in a blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon.
"Okay, let's get here first in the morning. After you have mastered the lines, we will go over them in general in the afternoon. I will see if there are any problems in your performance, and we will practice more specifically. Go ahead."
In the activity room, as Chen Shuting waved, Liu Meng and others, whose throats had tightened while reciting lines all morning, suddenly felt as if they had been granted amnesty.
"Eat, eat! Call Brother Shangzhi and come to the fourth cafeteria!"
"I want to eat beef tongue! Damn, my tongue has been knotted all morning. The drama is indeed much more difficult than the video! What is Brother Zhi doing? He has been sitting in the office all morning, making me happy Kang, is he trying to seduce the young lady?"
With a flick of his tongue, Zhou Yuan opened the door of the activity room office.
As the door opened, their eyes widened at the scene in front of them.
Li Youzhi was seen sitting on a chair in front of the window, with a copper thimble on his middle finger, a needle and thread in his hand, and he was elegantly and meticulously modifying a performance costume in his hand.
"Brother Zhi...you...Sunflower Book?"
Li Youzhi raised his eyebrows when he saw a few guys suddenly bursting into the office, and continued working on his hands.
"What are you thinking about? I've prepared costumes for you."
The midday sun shines through the window and hits the side of his face, giving every inch of his skin a soft glow.
Looking at the fine and neat stitches he made on the clothes, Zhou Yuan and others' lips trembled.
What great fatherly love this is!
Ah... foster father!
The foster father in the candlelight!
PS: I was severely sleep deprived and slept for two hours at noon...
