Chapter 52: Dry wood finally meets fire
Not all university presidents are visionary scientists, educators, or politicians.
Most art schools still have artists and literary figures as their leaders.
And status is often determined by artistic reputation.
Therefore, administrative leaders or secretaries usually have to help keep a close watch on things, to prevent artists from coming in with literary and artistic tendencies and letting romantic spirits prevail.
It doesn't go by the rules at all.
Generally speaking, such city programs have to consider the social impact and whether they are consistent with the school's image.
Speaking of which, the audience of drama academies is getting narrower and narrower.
If you want to sing, you can't do as well as you can in a music conservatory; if you want to dance, you can't do as well as you can in a dance school; and if you want to sing, there are opera schools. You can't just perform clips from a drama or a film or TV series when you communicate with other countries .
Therefore, performing skits that were usually performed during training on stage became a common way for drama academies to showcase themselves to the outside world.
But in recent years, with the popularity of the Spring Festival Gala, sketches have become more of a specialized program.
Moreover, it is becoming more and more independent, and is almost forming its own system, with the tendency to set up sketch academies or sketch troupes.
This made the drama academy very embarrassed, at least it was like that for the Shanghai Drama Academy, which was completely different from the more prestigious Pingjing Drama Academy.
Now only the acting department, which trains actors for film, television and drama, is still able to take on the responsibility.
The leaders of the Stage Design and Performance Departments immediately thought of this: "Musical? It seems like there is some potential for this."
Since it is a type of drama, the drama academy has the right to speak, and can also expand the scale of singing and dancing.
Besides, the Citigroup Musical is going strong, so we can develop into the same in the future.
New York has Broadway, and we have the traditions of Paramount and Night Shanghai...
You can try to observe it.
So we immediately notified everyone, asking the freshman performance group and the boys from the stage design department to get ready and attend the party tomorrow.
Du Ruolan and the others were absolutely surprised and excited. It turned out that Xiaoqiang was right. If they worked hard in the right direction, what was originally just a small happiness of the two of them performing romantically on stage could now turn into a big improvement in their studies!
When Jing Xiaoqiang heard the news, he was shocked. I was just saying it casually to encourage Du Ruolan, that... uh, quick-witted guy, to divert her attention and not ruin my work.
I have to go to the airline tomorrow!
But when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head, and the next supplementary notice came.
Considering that this is an important matter that requires attending a party in a public place, there are still two girls in the seven-member dance team who obviously have a weak foundation, so a few girls from the senior grades were added to see if they can strengthen the team and make up for the weaknesses.
This requires Jing Xiaoqiang, the choreographer, composer and arrangement designer, to personally oversee it.
Du Ruolan said that her roommates were so excited that they couldn't sleep well the whole night.
Even the girls who might be replaced would not feel regret or resentment. It was already amazing that they could stand on the stage so successfully.
At least I can go and see completely different new scenes next time.
Jing Xiaoqiang also told them the same thing.
He had no choice but to call Sister Fang overnight and postpone the meeting that was originally scheduled to move the cosmetics for one day.
Then, early in the morning, I faced a bunch of beautiful girls, especially the few senior students who came as supplementary students.
Basically, they are the beauties with the best dancing skills and the most serious dancing skills in each grade.
He also has a very simple artistic attitude of this era and does not talk about remuneration or benefits at all.
Facing a group of beauties, Jing Xiaoqiang was in good shape and brought a few of his roommates. Last night they were just extras helping with mirrors and lighting, and today they continued to help them create opportunities to interact with the beauties.
"I did tell Du Ruolan that every public performance during college may be an opportunity for you to show off. In addition, I think this experience will become an unforgettable medal for you, because you will benefit from this dance performance for ten years or even longer. Even after you graduate, no matter which unit or crew you are in, you can use this dance as your stepping stone. Congratulations..."
This time, a teacher from the school office was there to take care of the situation and confirmed that this boy was extraordinary.
Ask yourself, among the college students aged 18 or 19, how many can do ideological work and boost morale at the beginning when organizing activities?
But this is basic operation for the vice president of the theater.
There are hundreds or even thousands of people in every performance. No matter how big a figure the artistic director or operations director is, in the end it is the small boss of the theater who is responsible for boosting the morale of the grassroots, emphasizing safety, and winning over the hearts and minds of the people.
Jing Xiaoqiang is used to it: "Let me first tell you my attitude. Basically, I don't approve of temporary substitutions, because there is only less than a day of rehearsal time. If you practice too hard, you can't perform in the evening with the best attitude. So now I just give everyone a chance to try. Maybe the substitutes will have a chance to play, or maybe it will still be the same lineup as yesterday. Everything depends on your attitude!"
There are certain rules to follow when speaking and clapping at the same time.
Even in a musical theater, we need to arouse everyone's excitement at all times, just like in a sports team or a club.
Appropriate applause can increase everyone's heart rate, so cheer up!
The teachers in the college office were all amazed by what they saw. It was simply a monster!
Countless drama rehearsals and performance preparations, so many teachers have not been able to do it so skillfully and comprehensively!
This guy is deliberately using the competition for places to stimulate fighting spirit!
Everyone's spirits were really high.
Under the leadership of Jing Xiaoqiang, they danced as a whole first, and then he proposed adjustments and improvements based on yesterday's performance from beginning to end. For example, in the performance of more than two minutes, if several girls could cross their positions, it would be considered a step up.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if you can’t do it. The most important thing is stability on stage. Everyone should feel happy during the dance, which is the basis for success!
It means inspiring excitement while controlling emotional output to prevent rehearsals from becoming boring and tedious, and treating it as a state of artistic creation.
This already has a bit of the director's flavor.
The teacher from the hospital office who had specially vacated the small theater and rehearsal room immediately went to report to the leadership.
When the department leaders came to the rehearsal hall at noon, they saw that several senior girls had naturally replaced the younger sisters and were skillfully switching positions with Du Ruolan and Pan Yunyan!
As Jing Xiaoqiang had emphasized to Du Ruolan, this kind of street dance that is similar to the dance performed by internet celebrities is child's play for people with a dance background. The difficulty lies only in remembering the steps of the movements.
Several senior sisters concentrated on their performance and defeated the younger sister in a short time. The younger sister immediately gave up her chance and lent out her performance clothes, including the sports bra.
The senior sisters immediately felt the extraordinary care and asked where they could buy it.
The junior sisters shyly said that it was all done by Xiaoqiang...
The mature senior sister immediately smiled and held Jing Xiaoqiang from both sides, saying, "You must help us with this matter. Tell me, if you have any requirements, I will try my best to satisfy you. Do you want to find a girlfriend? I will introduce you to one. Otherwise, what do ?"
The freshman girl was dazzled the whole time, and Du Ruolan did not dare to lose her temper. She was full of energy and had a great tolerance. She deeply understood what Jing Xiaoqiang said, that if you want to find a boyfriend for a job dealing with beautiful women, how frustrating it would be...
Jing Xiaoqiang was overjoyed when he smelled the familiar rhythm. This was right: "No problem, no problem. Let's go on stage to perform first. After that, let's go out for dinner?"
The senior sister gave him a hint of affirmation from the corner of her eyes, as if she understood what he meant.
As for art, in-depth communication can bring more inspiration and perhaps produce better works.
This threshold is easy to cross, and the integration of body and mind is more conducive to mutual understanding.
For an artist, it is as normal as eating and drinking.
Du Ruolan still had a magical sixth sense. When the school chartered a car to the party, she sat next to Jing Xiaoqiang and lowered her voice: "What did you say to Senior Sister Yuan? Your eyes were not right!"
Jing Xiaoqiang was happy: "You are too nosy, I have helped you so much, why can't you let me go free?"
Du Ruolan was very disappointed: "I heard that she has changed many boyfriends!"
The girl had already shown her gossipy nature . She bit Jing Xiaoqiang's ear and revealed secrets: "Also, even with the department..."
Jing Xiaoqiang was even happier, but he tried to be serious: "Everyone has different values. Don't talk about others behind their backs. I understand."
Seeing his stubborn expression, Du Ruolan was anxious: "You are so weird! How can I not compare to her?!"
As she spoke, she put her hands on her hips and her eyes were a little red. Alas, she herself didn't know why her emotions had been so volatile recently.
Jing Xiaoqiang was calm inside. He looked at the senior student who was chatting and laughing with the teacher in front of him and chuckled, "Some people are worth your heart, and some people are only worth your body. I happen to be the latter. I never want to spend my whole life with one person. It's like she is a traveler on the road, and we are just happy companions who met by chance on the journey. Such a life is not suitable for you, let alone trying to please someone who doesn't care about you."
He felt that he had been frank and ruthless enough, and inevitably began to fantasize about the romantic encounter in the evening. He would go straight to the revolving restaurant for a candlelight dinner, then drive out for a ride, and finally return to the hotel... It was perfect!
The car keys are in the hotel room. The itinerary should be arranged so that we can have sex after dinner, otherwise I might not be able to go out because I am too young and hot.
With dirty thoughts in my mind, I heard Du Ruolan whisper, "I heard that she became like this because she broke up with her boyfriend in her sophomore year. She almost committed suicide. Did you ever feel this painful when you were heartbroken?"
Jing Xiaoqiang did not answer. How could he not handle such a small situation? He must establish his image tonight!
My heart is surging and my soul is roaring.
Aribati is making waves...
This is the first time in my life. I’ll try to ask this senior for a red envelope tonight!
Jing Xiaoqiang made up his mind secretly.
