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

Chapter 152 Wouldn’t it be more exciting to see you cry on the spot?

Art comes from life, but should be far higher than life.

The same is true for drama creation.

A qualified drama is not only to express it in the form of a script, but more importantly -

It should be acted out!

Not only does it have to be performed, it also has to be performed beautifully and brilliantly!
The reason why Teacher Tao Chunfang took time out of her busy schedule to ask Jiang Hai to come from school to meet her was because she discovered that Jiang Hai’s play “The Injustice of Dou E” was moving and touching.

Very suitable for adaptation into a drama!
The important thing about a script is writing!

In a drama, the most important thing is acting!

"In fact, I didn't have much hope for you at the beginning, but I never expected that you, a newcomer in the field of drama, could actually give me such a surprise." Teacher Tao Chunfang looked at Jiang Hai kindly, her eyes full of admiration. "I studied your manuscript for an entire night yesterday, and I really think from the bottom of my heart-"

“It really has the potential to be adapted into a stage play.”

For people in small cities, perhaps niche words like "drama" and "stage play" are really relatively unfamiliar?
In third-tier cities, the entertainment activities after work are to ride a bike, go fishing, and maybe have a barbecue with a few friends. This is already pretty good.
How can I expect to watch any drama or stage play?
But for those who have lived in big cities for many years, especially those who are senior intellectuals and pay attention to spiritual cultivation——

You should have been accustomed to watching dramas as a form of entertainment, right?

Take the revenue of Chenghai Grand Theater as an example.

After writer Lao She's "Teahouse" was adapted into a stage play, the attendance rate has remained above 60% every weekend.

Thunderstorm, a classic masterpiece by the famous dramatist Cao Yu, has maintained an attendance rate of over 65% every weekend since it was adapted into a live performance drama.

Any script that is relatively well-known in the field of drama, for example:
Classic books such as "Sunrise", "Shang Yang", "Li Bai", "White Deer Plain" and "Wotou Guild Hall" have long been adapted into dramas.

Even if it is a book written by Teacher Tao Chunfang herself, such as "The Legend of White Snake" and "New White Snake"——

It was even adapted into a stage play a long time ago.

Tomorrow afternoon!

Right at Chenghai Grand Theater!
There are two live dramas about "The Legend of White Snake" on sale!

Whether it is a theater, a drama actor, or an art practitioner who relies on drama for a living——

Everybody needs to eat!

What do you rely on for food?
They rely on writing a series of excellent drama scripts such as "Thunderstorm", "Tea House" and "Legend of the White Snake", and then adapting them into the form of dramas and stage plays to attract audiences to watch.

Then earn ticket money from it!
Generally speaking, scripts that can be adapted into stage plays are mostly written by well-known dramatists.

After all, only the scripts of these famous dramatists can stand the test!

Drama is different from other performance forms. The entire live performance is required to be shot in one take, and there is no such thing as NG.

This not only tests the skills of the actors, but also the script writers.

Control of the live rhythm on stage!

There is an explanation for when to suppress and when to exaggerate.

Even for a famous folk drama writer like Teacher Tao Chunfang, she didn’t write her first play that could be adapted into a stage play until she was 34 years old.

"The Legend of White Snake"!
Seeing that Jiang Hai was only less than 20 years old, he was expected to complete his first play that could be put on the stage?
Even though Xiao Linyu was a person who didn't want to fight with the world, she couldn't help but look at him twice:
"This Jiang Hai is so powerful!"

To be honest, when I learned that the script of "The Injustice of Dou E" was expected to be adapted into a play and adapted for a live stage,
Jiang Hai is indeed a little excited?

However, what made him happy was not "The Injustice of Dou E" itself, but what excited him was——

Whether it is a physical book or an online article, these two forms of textual expression have not allowed him to give a clear summary and feedback of the readers' emotions?
In other words,
He has no way to meet his readers face to face?

For example, when you cried your eyes out while reading "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood", Jiang Hai, as the author, could only know that the readers were sad through the book reviews?

He has no idea what emotions the readers are feeling when reading this book?
Do you cry while reading?
No, I didn't see it.
Do you look gloomy when you read, smoke one cigarette after another, and even think people are emo?
How would I know this?

After all, I didn't see it with my own eyes.
But, the form of drama and stage play just makes up for the defect that he cannot meet the readers face to face?

Imagine a scene like this:

In the theater, a drama was being performed with the seats packed with people.

As the scriptwriter, Jiang Hai was among the crowd, surrounded by audiences who came specifically to watch the play.

They wiped their tears with tissues and cried:
"Why is this author so cruel!"

"Why is Dou E so miserable? Wuuwuwuwuwu"

As the instigator of all this, Jiang Hai sat next to the audience and silently handed them tissues:

"Don't be afraid, cry louder, I have some tissues here"

I don’t know why, but when Jiang Hai thought of this scene, he felt a little excited?
You know what, if there is a chance to simplify the plots of novels like "The Poor Ghost" and "The Female Tenant" and adapt them into stage plays, and specially invite readers who like these two novels to read them, then -

Wouldn’t it be even more exciting?
It was like discovering a new track for the knife man.

Feeling the kind look in Teacher Tao Chunfang's eyes, Jiang Hai was excited and clasped his fists towards her:

"Teacher Tao, don't worry, I will hand in the final version of "The Injustice of Dou E" within three days!"

"Thank you for your concern regarding the stage adaptation."

When it comes to scriptwriting, it is indeed possible to achieve success quickly.

But Jiang Hai really has no experience in drama adaptation and stage rehearsal.

He still lacks professional knowledge.

For example, in Jiang Hai’s opinion, drama and stage play are actually the same thing?
There is actually no difference between the two?
But it's not.

The difference between a drama and a stage play is that a drama refers to a dramatic form that mainly uses dialogue, while a stage play can be defined as dramatic art presented on stage.

To put it simply -

Drama is just one type of stage play.

Stage plays include not only dramas, but also operas, dance dramas, ballets, etc.
As an authority in the domestic folk drama circle, Teacher Tao Chunfang is usually busy with many things. Naturally, it is impossible for her to serve Jiang Hai anytime and anywhere and give him answers at all times.

However, given Jiang Hai's lack of experience in stage performances,
Therefore, she specially appointed Xiao Linyu as a professional to provide Jiang Hai with guidance.

Now, Jiang Hai and Xiao Linyu belong to a community of shared destiny, and they are each other's partners?

The script writing was entirely handed over to Jiang Hai.

A series of tedious and complicated tasks such as selecting actors for the drama, on-site rehearsals, and rhythm control were all left to Xiao Linyu to be responsible for!

The reason why Xiao Linyu took on this task was not entirely to complete her mentor's task, but because of her doctoral graduation requirements.

She needs to stage a complete play independently.
Honestly, as a writer and a playwright, if there really comes a day when—

The plays he wrote have not only been performed on the stages of theaters across the country, but have also been recorded in the history of drama and performed at the National Opera House, which represents glory.
This feeling might be really good?

"If you don't try, how do you know you can't do it?"

While having an intracranial orgasm, Jiang Hai slowly walked out of Teacher Tao Chunfang's office.

Don't know why.

Jiang Hai just walked out of the office and passed by the small theater, he suddenly discovered——

Originally, all these beautiful girls who were rehearsing in the theater were staring at him with a rather strange look?
"Why are you all looking at me?" Jiang Hai was confused.

A slim girl wearing a dance suit and looking lively and cheerful walked up to him.

She looked at Jiang Hai, covering her mouth and laughing:
"Seven times a night? Hello, hello, hello, hahahaha."

Feeling the clear and bell-like smiles of the dancing girls in the art troupe, Jiang Hai suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked at Wang Bowen who had a calm face:
"What rumors did you spread about me, kid?"

"How could I spread rumors?" Wang Bowen said confidently, spreading his hands, "You are the cannon king, everyone is spreading rumors like that!"

"You checked into the hotel eight times in seven days in one week, and I even saw you once with my own eyes. If you're not the best sex lover, who is? Stop pretending to be innocent in front of me."

How can I book a room eight times in seven days a week?
Could it be that I booked a room by the hour the extra time?

Just as Jiang Hai was thinking about the loopholes in Wang Bowen's mouth.
"Jiang Hai, is what he said true?" Chu Xinyan came over cautiously. She first glanced at Jiang Hai's lower body inconspicuously, and then looked at him with a little concern. "I think it should be fake, it shouldn't be that serious."

Taozi's legs were trembling, and she walked with the help of the wall. She even didn't go to class for the next two days?
It shouldn't be so exaggerated.
"What are you thinking?" Jiang Hai was not afraid to defend himself after realizing that he was being slandered. "I am a scholar, and I read books written by sages. How could I possibly go out and make random appointments?"

"You can't insult someone's innocence like this."

To be honest, Chu Xinyan didn't think Jiang Hai was the kind of person who would go out on random dates for no reason.

How could a singer who could sing such a soulful ballad as "Miss Dong" be a vulgar person who was fooling around outside?

Because of the affectionate ballad "Miss Dong", Chu Xinyan has a deep liking for Jiang Hai!

In his opinion, Jiang Hai is not only a writer with profound thoughts, but also a folk singer with a clear mind and kind heart!
Just as Chu Xinyan wanted to explain to Jiang Hai:

"I think so too, Jiang Hai, I believe you!"

"I think so."

Unexpectedly, she hadn't finished speaking yet.

Behind him, Senior Sister Xiao Linyu, who had chased out from the tutor's office, shouted to Jiang Hai:
"Jiang Hai, wait a minute, you didn't explain it clearly just now"

"Should I still go to the hotel and wait for you tonight?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent.

Under the surprised gaze of everyone.

Jiang Hai turned around and looked at Xiao Linyu with a distressed look:
"Senior sister, you don't have to do this to me."
