At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 21 The prototype of the studio

In fact, Chinese opera is similar to a general university...

It's very professional

The Central Academy of Drama is not called the Central Academy of Promiscuity, of course, any college can hear dirty things...

After all, the Chinese opera has a very rigorous attitude, and the first thing to do is to cultivate artists.

As for the title of "star", it can only be said to be the recognition of popularity by the media and audience...

This is especially true for the Department of Drama and Literature. Basically, writing and reading will take up most of your freshman year...

And the books on the reading list are definitely not enough, so generally speaking, I just spend time in the library reading homework...

I really have to do my homework - three book reports a week!

Write well and be praised...

Typical small class education - only 20 students in a class, more than a dozen teachers...

Therefore, only once in a while will we have a meal together!
Shen Xudong basically has time to write other things after eight o'clock every day-except weekends!
By the way, there are no elective courses, and there are very few skipping courses. More people are too busy with their own courses!

Strict work and rest time - turn off the lights on time at [-] o'clock in the evening, you are not allowed to leave the dormitory building after [-] o'clock, if you haven't come back after [-] o'clock, it is best not to come back...

Most classes are called on time...

I heard that the sophomore will relax a bit...

I don't know if it's true or not...

In addition, observing life and writing an observation diary is also a compulsory course—that is, to observe in the nearby alleys and the most lively places like Di'anmen Street.

The Zhongxi Opera is located in Mianmian Hutong, so I don’t have the opportunity to observe the life of the upper class. I only observe sweet potato sellers and shoe repairers...

Generally speaking, the original sketches performed by students in the black box are basically based on these...

Just to add a word, the directing department is the most tiring. The teacher of the Meyerhold Workshop, which is highly respected by Chinese opera, said that "directors work 24 hours a day"...

So the director department not only has no holidays, but also no sleep...

Drama is a niche major, and its social influence is not as good as that of movies. The circle is smaller, but because of this, information and resources are more concentrated.

Therefore, the word-of-mouth in the small circle is also the starting point of the industry in the future...

Under Director Huang's recommendation, Shen Xudong had a pleasant conversation with Zhang Jizhong, and even got a job writing reviews for "Shooting the Condors"...

This matter spread!
But it’s not a big deal. After all, Chinese opera is also considered Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger. Many students are famous all over the country before entering school. For example, Niu Mengmeng, the protagonist of today’s dinner, participated in the first movie "War Meridian" in 90. In 97, Partners Li Chen and Hao Lei starred in the TV series "Don't Cry at 17"...

After entering Chinese opera, freshman began to accept plays, "Young Zhang Sanfeng", "The Family of Pink", "Yangmen Tiger General"...

She was able to star in "Young Zhang Sanfeng", thanks to the regulations of the General Administration: co-productions, especially TV dramas, mainland actors must account for more than half, so Lin Xinru had already filmed it and let Niu Mengmeng film it again...

She is now the most famous student in Chinese opera!

Has the title of 'Little Maggie Cheung'...

However, these have nothing to do with Shen Xudong, he is just accompanying him for dinner and drinks along the way...

By the way, I have to say good things...

That's right, I was 18 that year, sitting like a minion...

……

At 10 o'clock in the evening, several people returned to the dormitory and chatted about the dinner...

"Why do I feel that those people in the acting department are so social?"

Zhao Linhai said casually: "This is normal, if you think about it this way, they come to learn acting, is it for art?"

What this says...

If you talk about the past, you may also talk about art...

Now?

Make a lot of money, and satisfy your vanity and desire for performance!

Why do you want to be an actor?

Why don't you ask why you bought a lottery ticket?
Liao Gaoxiang added: "Actors are like this, connections mean everything, especially when you were in Zhai University, sometimes with a word from senior brothers and sisters, you will be able to act...you will have a chance to become famous!"

Zhao Xin suddenly said: "I heard that Cao Xiwen paid for today's meal?"

Several people looked at Shen Xudong, who was speechless: "What are you looking at me for..."

"Rich lady!"

"Is there no possibility for you and her at all?"

"Think about it, she is also a beautiful woman!"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "First, it takes time to fall in love, and I don't have time; second, I don't have the same personality as her, so it's impossible to have a good result... So, why try?"

"How do you know that your personality doesn't match?"

"...I don't like women who are too strong!"

Well, now that Shen Xudong has said it so clearly, there is nothing more to say...

"Have you started writing "No. [-] Under Heaven" yet?"

"I've started to write, and I guess I'll finish it by the end of the winter vacation..."

"Ready to go straight to publishing?"

"...Of course it will be serialized first and published directly? My name is not Han Han!"

That is, Shen Xudong's current fame is only limited to the small circle, who will buy it if he publishes a book rashly?
"I'm going to write three volumes, about 100 million words..."

"Then you go on..."

"Don't," Shen Xudong said, "If I write "No. [-] in the World", then I won't have time to write the review manuscript, please do me a favor!"

"...a commentary?"

"It's Jin Yong's character evaluation..."

He thought about this for a long time, and finally decided to ask the third brother in the dormitory for help...

In fact, he is not the only commentator on the column of "Writing Jianghu", but anyone who writes well and has novel viewpoints can be serialized!

Zhao Linhai shook his head: "I'm afraid we can't do it?"

"Brother...I don't want the manuscript fee!"

"Listen to me... It's not that we don't want to write, and it's not that we don't like the manuscript fee... It's just that we don't have as many weird opinions as you..."

Shen Xudong thought for a while: "How about this, I will offer my opinion, and you guys write..."

"View?"

"For example... Xiaoao Wuxia, who killed Master Dingyi and the like!"

"Swordsman can understand, who killed Mrs. Dingyi...wasn't it Yue Buqun's hand?"

"Why did Yue Buqun kill Master Dingyi? Besides, in the case of the siege of the temple, Yue Buqun, as one of the leaders, should stay outside the temple to preside over the work. What is he going to Shaolin Temple for? Yue Buqun is not a dispensable person , it is unreasonable to leave the main force and sneak into Shaolin without arousing suspicion..."

"Who is that?"

"Ren Yingying or Zuo Lengchan and Hengshan Nei should act together..."

"Ren Yingying?"

Shen Xudong: "If you read the novel again, you will definitely find the logic..."

Liao Gaoxiang answered: "At that time, submit the manuscript in your name!"

"why?"

This time it was Shen Xudong's turn to be puzzled...

"Because you can get the highest reward, even if we can publish it, it will only be two hundred words at most..."

"Then use my name, what about yours?"

"It doesn't matter, it's a little bit more money!"

"That's right, the difference between four hundred thousand characters and two hundred thousand characters is half the difference!"

Zhao Linhai said: "...We should also give one hundred to the fourth child!"

"What? Pay me?"

"Using your name, your creativity, of course, you should pay for it!"

Shen Xudong hesitated: "But I am asking for your help..."

"Three hundred words for a thousand words is already considered a very good reward!"

Hearing what they said, Shen Xudong's face became more and more strange, and then he said: "Then don't you help me to work?"

"Which boss have you ever seen, the employee earns 300, and he earns 100?"

Uh, one sentence stopped Shen Xudong...
