Doing It Over Again - Chapter 14
High school life is much simpler than Shen Shao imagined, and the classmates in the class are also different from the image he imagined to be in the company of books every day. Because these students not only have good grades, but many also have other specialties. What ballet, piano, lute, guqin, painting, etc. are put in this class, it is not enough to watch. What shocked Shen Shao the most was that a girl in the class who looked weak and beautiful turned out to be the national women’s youth martial arts champion last year.
As the saying goes, there is no such thing as appearance, and it is strongly confirmed in their class.
Shortly after the school started, they welcomed the Mid-Autumn Festival. Since there were so many talents in the class, they were not worried about the lack of programs. What was more worrying was how to arrange the programs so that the programs could pass the primary selection and then successfully shine in the Mid-Autumn Festival performances. .
Because the entire art show lasted just over two hours, but there were nearly 50 classes in three grades in the school, and the school invited some entertainers to liven up the atmosphere, so there were very few programs that could actually be performed on stage.
Class 15 discussed for a long time during the class meeting, and finally decided to accompany students who can play musical instruments in the class, a girl who has studied professional singing, and then select a few boys and girls who can dance, and finally come back. A sword dance.
The idea is very good, but how to integrate these elements together made the students spend a lot of time. Shen Shao even saw that several girls in the class had referenced many dance songs and costumes from various dynasties and dynasties, and searched for a lot of choreography materials. , this task must be done with a serious attitude of perfection, making Shen Shao feel that he is simply weak! So in the end, he didn’t have much artistic talent, so he could only follow the organization’s arrangement and refrain from expressing any non-constructive opinions at will.
Although Shen Shao can play the piano well, there are students who are more powerful than him in the class, so he doesn’t need him to play in this regard. In the end, he got the role of Lu Xiaoyu, the young man who was beside him when he was dancing the sword. Scholar.
Lu Xiaoyu is the hidden chivalrous girl, and Shen Shao’s existence is to use the gentleness of men to set off the heroic posture of women when they dance the sword. This arrangement is very intentional and also tests everyone’s ability.
After several rehearsals, the program of class 15 successfully entered the final list of performances. The literary committee member Liu Shuang wore a wig with a flying fairy bun on his head and dressed in Tang Dynasty Chinese clothes. He looked at the classmates in ancient costumes in front of him, very imposing. She patted her hand on the table: “This performance is the first time for class 15 to make a public appearance in front of the whole school, so we can’t ruin our reputation.” After speaking, she looked at Zhou Zeyu who was standing in the corner, distracted, “Zhou Zeyu, you must be strong enough to beat the drums later, otherwise Lu Xiaoyu won’t have enough sense of the scene when he comes on stage, you know?!”
“Got it!” Zhou Zeyu straightened his back subconsciously, then touched his forehead, and whispered to Shen Shao, who was wearing a wig and a jade crown, “Why are the girls in our class more sturdy? What’s a foothold?”
Shen Shao straightened his wide sleeves and said lightly, “Didn’t you hear a word?”
“What?” Zhou Zeyu was puzzled.
“Women can hold up half the sky, without them, be careful that half the sky will crush you to death.”
“Dude, do you still have brotherly love?”
“In front of my sister, all brothers are paper tigers.”
Zhou Zeyu: “…” Where is that shy and gentle Sanhaosheng with good grades, his brother can’t be so shameless.
“Daewoo, I think what Shen Shao said is right. Of course, the more powerful the girls in the class, the better.” Liang Cheng, who was wearing a book boy’s clothes, came over and said with a serious face, “Liu Shuang’s dance is so good, it’s all professional. People are the same.”
Zhou Zeyu: …
As a famous school in the province, Furong No. 3 Middle School always pays attention to all aspects of development, so the stage of the art show is very beautifully built. The lighting engineer and sound engineer are all professionals, and the host is also jointly held by the TV station and the school students. In addition to the teachers and students of the school, leaders from various departments and media reporters all came to watch the performance. The school does not want to take it seriously.
After a cross talk sketch was over, the host walked onto the stage amid the laughter of the audience. After the two hosts read the host speech, they raised their voices and said, “Please enjoy the program “Prosperity” from Class 15.”
“Mr. Zhang, this is your class’s program,” the teacher sitting next to Zhang’s family said in a low voice, “In this program list, there are only two places for the senior one. These students in your class are really versatile.”
“Everywhere, it’s all children messing around.” Zhang Jiahe smiled, and after hearing a melodious flute on the stage, he watched the show seriously. Although he was calm on the face, he was actually still in his heart. I am very proud, after all, the students in his class are in high spirits, and he is also very bright on the face of the head teacher.
The combination of flute, guqin, piano, pipa and other musical instruments will not make people feel inconsistent at all, but give people a beautiful and gorgeous sense of hearing, especially when a few women dressed in ancient costumes of the Tang Dynasty danced, the scene There was thunderous applause.
Suddenly, the lights went dark, and all the musical instruments stopped. Just when the audience was stunned, the drumming sound suddenly sounded, as if it was beating in the hearts of people, and inexplicably cheered up with the drumming.
The stage gradually became foggy. A woman in a white robe danced a sword dance in the smoke. The sound of the lute and the guqin sounded, but it was a little chilling.
Gradually, the quiet sound of the flute joined, and a group of lights suddenly appeared in the dark corner. There was a young man in Chinese clothes standing in front of the desk, holding a brush dipped in ink in his hand.
“Zhao Keman Hu Ying, Wu Gou Shuang Xueming. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, and the slack is like a shooting star. Killing a person in ten steps, without leaving a thousand miles. Xia Ke Xing splashed ink on the blank paper, as if he was a genius in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the people in the audience were just spectators in another time and space.
The sword-dancing girl, the ink-dancing boy, the wonderful music, and the chanting like the sounds of nature, make the whole program reproduce the heroic appearance of women, the literary grace of men, and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
“Principal Zhao, the students of your No. 3 Middle School are really crouching tigers and hidden dragons, both civil and military,” a literary leader said to the principal of No. 3 Middle School who was sitting next to him after watching the entire performance, “This show is very good, very Okay.”
“You are overrated, I see their performances are still very immature,” the principal smiled red, he had noticed that the media reporters were constantly taking pictures on the stage, “It’s just that you are very tolerant of young people, and you feel that They’re just doing well.”
“No no, these children are really good,” the literary master shook his head, “Your No. 3 middle school’s teaching philosophy is very good, and the children cultivated under this kind of education are really what our society needs, and this is the most valuable thing. “
The weight of this exaggeration is very heavy, and the reporter next to it is busy writing it down. No matter what, tomorrow’s manuscript will be finalized.
Zhang Jiahe, who was sitting in the back row, was also elated at this time. He had a hunch that this time their class’s performance would receive attention from the outside world, and it was still positive attention. This was definitely a great thing for him as a class teacher.
The teachers sitting next to him looked at Zhang Jiahe several times with envy and hatred. They were all the head teachers of the first year of high school. How could he meet such a group of talented students. When the class was assigned, it was randomly assigned by the computer system, and Zhang Jiahe was a little bit lucky, so why did he search all the students with good grades and expertise?
After the students in class 15 returned to the backstage after the show, their faces were both excited and nervous. Finally, you looked at me, I looked at you, and laughed at the same time.
Zhou Zeyu shook his hand, and then said to Shen Shao: “I’m so nervous that my palms are sweating, buddy, you can read poetry in such a state of mind under the watchful eyes of so many people, and you can still be in a hurry. writing, I really convinced you.”
Before Shen Shao could speak, Liu Shuang next to him said, “Yes, Shen Shao, your performance is really good today.” With Lu Xiaoyu dancing his sword beside him, he was not robbed of the limelight. Charming personality, “By the way, what about the poems you wrote on stage?”
“It was taken away,” Shen Shao took off his headgear and said indifferently, “It’s nothing special anyway, just take it away when someone else takes it.”
Hearing that, Liu Shuang didn’t speak, and looked around. He didn’t see anyone holding the piece of paper on which Shen Shao wrote the poem, so he had to withdraw his gaze in disappointment.
After the cultural performance that night, the students in class 15 did not expect that their program would be on the provincial TV station the next day. In the provincial noon news, they highly praised their program, and also raised the importance of quality education. .
Because they are students in the experimental class of No. 3 Middle School, their wonderful performances are more representative. They let others see that students with excellent grades are not all nerds buried in the pile of books every day, and having special hobbies does not mean that they are not good at reading.
Therefore, the wonderful performance of their class became a fuse, which aroused many people from all walks of life discussing and arguing about examination education and quality education. Newspapers and magazines also published relevant articles one after another, and the quarrel was very lively.
Education is the foundation of a country. In addition, in recent years, there have been many well-known professors who have criticized domestic education and praised foreign education. Therefore, as soon as the performance of Class 15 came out, some people used it as an example to slap the public-known professors in the face. Some public officials were so angry that they said nothing, saying that the performances of these children in No. 3 Middle School were just on the surface, but in fact they had no soul, and they were not as lively and lively as foreign children.
“In these people’s writings, our domestic children’s performance is so wonderful that they have no soul, and the performance is so naive that the society does not care about the education of children’s specialties. How can everything be our fault?!” Zhang Jiahe was so angry after reading the newspaper. The newspaper slapped on the table, “What kind of famous professors are these people, they are clearly white-eyed wolves who eat milk and curse their mothers and forget their ancestors!”
“Isn’t it just a white-eyed wolf?” A teacher next to him said, “I really don’t know what these people think. If you really care about education, you should do something practical. What’s the use of playing tricks in magazines and newspapers every day?”
“This country is good and the country is wonderful all day long, it’s like humiliating the Chinese people in the name of the Chinese people,” another female teacher continued, “I want to say that the people who pick up garbage on the street are much nobler than them. , at least people are promoting the recycling of waste, and these people can only make waste.”
