A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 137 Discussing the new track of the knife man!
Although judging from the comprehensive strength of the school, Chenghai Drama Academy does have a big gap compared to those 985/211 universities at the top of the list,
However, Chengxi still has its own pride——

That's drama!
You can tell from the name of the school, [Chenghai Drama Academy], if they really don’t have any skills, how can they dare to put it in the name of the school——

Engrave the word "drama"?
Looking across the country, there are three schools that can be ranked well in terms of drama majors:

Central Academy of Drama, Beijing Film Academy, Chengxi Academy of Drama.

Drama is actually a broad concept, which includes drama, opera, musical, dance drama, opera, etc. In modern times, we generally regard any performance form that can directly communicate with the audience as drama. Whether it is singing or dancing, they are just forms of expression of drama.

In short, drama can actually be understood as a hodgepodge of literary creation.

As one of the "Three Gods of Drama" in China, Chenghai Drama Academy has produced a considerable number of outstanding drama and cultural workers in the history of Chenghai Drama!
Just to give an example, there are a lot of them:

Hong Shen, Ouyang Yuqian, Xiong Fuxi, Cao Yu, Chen Baichen, etc.
That’s right, since 1980, the Cao Yu Drama Literature Award has been established in the field of Chinese drama literature.
He used to be a professor of Chengxi Opera!

It is a shame to say that the Cao Yu Drama Literature Award, as a milestone award with great influence in the field of Chinese drama literature, has not been awarded in the past ten years.

It turns out that no teacher or student from Chenghai Drama Academy has ever been nominated for this award?

Cao Yu, as the teacher of Chengxi, the Cao Yu Drama Award is a special award established to commemorate Mr. Cao's contribution to drama. The school where Mr. Cao taught
There is no one who can win the award?

In a way, this is quite dramatic?
On the contrary, the National Academy of Drama and the Beijing Film Academy, which are also among the "Three Gods of Drama", have had many teachers and students nominated for the Cao Yu Drama Literature Award in previous years.

This made Cheng Xi feel quite embarrassed.
Everyone says that your drama is great. How great must it be that there hasn't been anyone who can win an award for more than ten years?

It was also based on the appeal that Fang Zhenguo, the president of Chenghai Drama Academy, openly shouted a slogan to all the teachers and students at the beginning of this year's Drama Literature Award:

"It is our duty to restore the glory of Chengxi Opera!"

Drama is the foundation of Chenghai Drama Academy!

How could we allow professors, scholars, teachers and students from other schools to look down on us like this?

This time, all the professors and teachers, including the president Fang Zhenguo, have put in their best efforts and want to make a good appearance in this year's [Cao Yu Drama Literature Award]!

It is for this reason that this year's [Cao Yu Drama Literature Award] has such a huge influence in the school!
In fact, Jiang Hai had no interest in bringing glory to the school.

"What's the point of bringing glory to the school? It won't give me any more food to eat."

This time, the reason why Jiang Hai agreed to come to the instructor to participate in the creation mobilization of this drama literature award was purely because -

He discovered a new track!
"If traditional literature can hurt people, then why can't drama and plays hurt people?" Jiang Hai thought to himself while walking and eating a steamed bun. "Whether it's a novel or a drama, as long as it involves words, there is a chance of hurting people."

The word literature actually covers a wide range of fields. In a narrow sense, literature refers to:

Write a book and publish it, so that readers can appreciate the local customs and life philosophy while reading your words.

This belongs to traditional literature in a narrow sense.

But literature in a broad sense is not limited to this. For example, drama rehearsals and script writing also belong to literature in a broad sense.

Everyone knows that Lao She is a great writer, but few people know that apart from his superficial identity as a writer,
Lao She was also an extremely outstanding playwright?
No matter you are writing novels or scripts, the ultimate goal is to kill people, so what else can't you write?

It is with this idea in mind——

Jiang Hai thought about it again and again, and finally decided to accept the college's request and go to the meeting alone.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Jiang Hai arrived as promised and came to the multimedia classroom.

Looking at this grand scene in front of me.

Jiang Hai ate a meat bun and sighed thoughtfully:

"This is such a big scene!"

The multimedia classroom was packed with people.

Not only were there outstanding student representatives selected from various colleges, but in the classroom, Jiang Hai even met many young talents, literary and artistic creators, and honorary professors who had only appeared on the alumni wall?

In fact, the main force in the selection of the Cao Yu Drama Literature Award this time is not students.

The Cao Yu Drama Literature Award is a national award open to all outstanding literary and artistic creators.

How could a few students alone control the situation?

You let a group of young students, right from the start, come face to face with the top and most outstanding screenwriters, dramatists, and theatre artists across the country?
Isn't this a pure gift?
How could this be won!
The reason why President Fang Zhenguo notified outstanding student representatives from each college to attend this mobilization meeting was that

In fact, it serves more as an observation role.

After all, students represent the future of Chengxi Opera!
The main force of this [Cao Yu Drama Literature Award] is actually the middle-aged people, literary and art workers, and honorary professors with rich creative experience sitting in the first two rows of the multimedia classroom.

Jiang Hai stood at the door and just glanced at the two rows of guests in front of him and found many familiar names.
In terms of film and television screenwriting, there is Mr. Ye Jingming, who created a series of excellent scripts such as "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "White Deer Plain".

In the field of opera and drama, there is teacher Tao Chunfang, who created a series of excellent folk art works such as "The Legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" and "The Legend of White Snake".

It must be said that when it comes to the foundation of literary creators, Chengxi is still very rich!
Not just movies, TV and opera.

Even in the fields of dance, opera, and musicals, we have invited extremely outstanding senior artists!
"There are so many that can be named, and there are still so many that cannot be named"

As soon as Jiang Hai entered the room, he was dazzled by the complicated and dazzling names on the table cards. Looking at this huge crowd of people.

Jiang Hai was thinking about where to sit down.

Suddenly, a familiar voice called out to him from the back of the classroom:
"This way, Jiang Hai~"

Jiang Hai looked up and found that the person who called his name was Shen Yue. He lowered his head and subconsciously began to walk in the opposite direction.

Jiang Hai found an empty seat and sat down.

A student wearing glasses walked towards him:
"Excuse me, classmate, this is the seat for our drama directing department"

The seating division of the entire venue is very strict.

Literary and artistic workers sit together, and professors sit together.

Students from the same department should naturally sit together with their classmates.

"Teachers and students, please find your seats and sit down. Principal Fang will be here soon and our mobilization meeting will begin soon."

I saw the teacher who was responsible for maintaining order starting to shout.

Helplessly, Jiang Hai could only walk towards the seats of the Chinese Department.

He was seen walking and complaining:
“It’s fucking annoying.”

In fact, Jiang Hai had already made psychological preparations on the way here.

He was able to attend this mobilization meeting as a student representative of the Chinese Department.

As the hope for the revival of the Chinese Department of Chengxi Opera, the talented woman of Shenyang University——

Of course you can come too!
After all, in terms of literary literacy and personal performance alone, looking at the entire Chengxi Chinese Department, there are only a few students who can surpass Shen Yue.
Is it really possible that there isn't one?

"Jiang Hai, are you thirsty? Drink some water."

As soon as he sat down, Shen Yue took the initiative to hand Jiang Hai a bottle of water. As if she was afraid that Jiang Hai would not drink it, Shen Yue even helped Jiang Hai loosen the bottle cap while handing him the water.

Jiang Hai was indifferent to Shen Yue's courtesy. He pushed the water back without hesitation:

"Thank you, I'm not thirsty."

A total of ten outstanding student representatives from the Chinese Department were invited by the college to attend the pre-competition mobilization meeting for the Drama Literature Award.

For freshmen, no.

There are only two students in the sophomore class: Jiang Hai and Shen Yue.

The remaining eight people who were invited were all seniors in the Chinese Department who were in their third and fourth years.

Even though, I have never seen a person named Shen Yue before, but everyone has heard of Shen Yue's name more or less.
This is an amazing talent who has published more than 200,000 best-selling books in her freshman year!

Before Jiang Hai arrived, several seniors who were present saw that Shen Yue had a distinctive appearance and good temperament, and wanted to strike up a conversation with her:
"Hello, classmate Shen Yue. I am one year older than you, so I am your senior. Nice to meet you."

But who would have thought that Shen Yue would ignore the senior's initiative?
Shen Yue just replied to him with a polite "Hello" and there was no further response.

"Shen Yue is so cold to others, but she is so proactive towards Jiang Hai?"

Shen Yue's sudden attentiveness also made the senior who had just been rejected by her approach quite uncomfortable.

However, although they were not used to it, when they heard Jiang Hai's name, they suddenly felt that -

It seems that he really has the qualifications to ignore Shen Yue?
Like gloating

The classmates around them shouted jokingly to the senior who had just approached Shen Yue but was rejected:
"How do you feel now?"

The rejected senior student was a little embarrassed at first, but then he immediately became confident:
"How can I compare with him? That's Jiang Hai."

In fact, this mobilization meeting, in addition to boosting morale, has another particularly important point -

That is to analyze the topics that are easy to win the Cao Yu Drama Literature Award!

Looking at the award-winning works over the years, most of the works that won the Cao Yu Drama Literature Award are about history, documentary, and folk legends?

I watched Principal Fang Zhenguo standing on the podium, analyzing and giving a speech in front of the big screen.

Jiang Hai was also thinking in his mind, what kind of drama should he write?

"First of all, the general direction is tragedy."

“Once this general direction is determined, we can start to segment it.”

Jiang Hai looked at Fang Zhenguo who was speaking nonstop on the podium, and murmured thoughtfully:

"Which one should I choose, Thunderstorm or The Injustice of Dou E?"
