Maybe I can't have normal youth
Chapter 24 The Meaning of My Existence
With the end of October, the script contest finally came to an end.
To date, we have received a total of more than a dozen different scripts.
Unexpectedly, as a temporary society, I can get a lot of participation. It seems that my first worry was completely unnecessary.
After all, writing scripts is really time-consuming and labor-intensive. Don't ask me how I knew it.So on the National Day, I was very happy to learn that there were already six articles, but I was not greedy enough to think that there would be so many more in the future.
"Okay, then let's start." After all six people arrived.We started this round table meeting, of course, the main purpose of this time is-the choice of script.
"A total of 18 scripts were received. Well, since we have so many original scripts, then I don't think we should consider the scripts on the Internet?" As the main person in charge of the script contest, Huang Han first made a brief summary. Then ask for your opinions.
"Yes, I don't think it is a problem at all. Since we have our own, of course it is better to use the original one of Haichuan University!" I agreed, "and I can't live up to the wishes of the participants."
"I think so too. But how do you feel when you look at it? Huang Han, have you seen them all?" Zi Chen asked.
"That's right, that's right. And I read some of them carefully several times." Huang Han said as he took out a stack of paper from his bag."To pick three out of so many good scripts, I also struggled with it for a while."
"But the process of reading is still very enjoyable." Huang Han smiled faintly, and distributed the paper in his hand to everyone, "Because I personally like reading paper books, and feel that the text on paper can be richer than the way of electronic presentation. It’s more emotional and it looks more comfortable. So I typed out every article on my own terms."
"Ah, I don't have to give it." I waved my hand, after all, I made it clear before the script contest started.
"Emm, forget it, give it to me." I thought about it and took the papers that Huang Han handed over. Since they have been typed out, I don't vote, but it's good to see.
"Huh? Huang Han, why is there no author on this script?" Zi Chen sorted out all three copies and laid them on the table horizontally, "It's this "The Meaning of My Existence"."
"Oh that, when I received it, it was anonymous. The email stated that it was someone who wanted to contribute an original script but wanted to remain silent." Huang Han explained.
"What a weird person." Zi Chen tilted his head, picked up the one on the far right, and decided to read it first.
Everyone fell into the silence of careful reading, and I picked up the script and read it.
Enm... "Secret Love in the Plum Garden"?
Look at the name, it feels like love.
Sure enough, this is simply a thunderstorm of youth campus version.Obviously there are only four pages of single-sided paper, but the relationship between the characters is so complicated that I have read it back and forth several times, and I am still stuck in a kind of perplexity.
I think if this can be fully expressed on the stage, it will definitely be a vivid emotional drama.
Unfortunately, when the content is condensed within a dozen minutes, it may appear to be somewhat small.And because there are too many actors involved, I'm not sure whether we can get some temporary off-site assistance before the club is officially established.
Then look at the other one.
Emm... "A Stupid Detective"...
Listening to the name, you can feel that it should be a comedy for the time being, right?I don't know what exactly is a detective?What does it have to do with Miaobi?
"I have made a decision! I like "Secret Love in the Plum Garden"!" Before I could read the second script carefully, Liu Yiyi raised a small hand and shouted.
"You have to read all the scripts to make a decision.
When I saw this article, I felt that Liu Yiyi would really like it.
"Huh! Xiaoan, look down on me, of course they have read them all~" Liu Yiyi said with a pouting mouth.
"My God, I didn't even know that you can read text so fast!"
I just watched the second article.
"Of course, otherwise there are so many handsome guys waiting for me in a good text of millions of words, so how can I meet them if the speed is not fast?"
"Awesome! I underestimated you, so why don't you talk to Huang Han first?" Huang Han has seen it many times, so now he has nothing to do.
"I have to say that these three articles have their own characteristics, Huang Han, you picked it really well." Zi Chen praised it about fifteen minutes later.
At this point, basically everyone has read it all.
"It's okay, Zi Chen. In fact, there are many good scripts, but I must make a choice. I can only reluctantly give up on a few of them."
"It's okay." I said to Huang Han, who looked regretful. "We will still have many opportunities to play the scripts that were not selected today."
Of course, the premise is that our association can be formally established.
"But how should I put it, with this "The Meaning of My Existence", I feel a little fresh and refined, but it also feels a little strange." Zi Chen said tangledly.
"Is it because the topic you want to express is too serious?" I couldn't help asking.
"Well, it seems to be because of this." Zi Chen took a closer look, but couldn't tell the specific reason.
"Then let me talk about the reasons why I chose these three articles at the time." Huang Han explained, "First of all, of course, the plots and literary talents of these three scripts are among the best. "Secret Love in the Plum Garden" is mainly It wins in multiple reversals, reversals and reversals..."
"But don't you think that the reversal is too much?" Wang Yichuan suddenly interjected.
"Eh~ but people think it's very good! On the night of thunder and rain, two people who originally had nothing to do with each other just met in the campus building, ah! Because of the power outage, there was a spark between them~ As a result, the relationship heated To the extreme, when you shook me, I found that behind the two people was an amazing connection that no one had noticed before~Ah! How interesting!"
Originally, I just felt that there were some twists and turns of youthful love in the campus romance drama. Under Liu Yiyi's exaggerated interpretation, it suddenly became intriguing and bloodthirsty.I even wonder if there might be any difference between the script I watched and her.
Huang Han nodded after Liu Yiyi finished speaking, and continued: "Wang Yichuan and Yang Liu Yiyi are right. You have this feeling. It can be said that this is its biggest advantage and its biggest disadvantage."
"Then I chose "Wonderful Pen Stupid Detective" because it is a very typical comedy, and if I choose it, it should be an infallible one."
"Yes, I feel that way too." Zi Chen agreed, "Although I know it is original, it is the traditional comedy that everyone laughs at the New Year's Day party from the perspective of routine."
"Yes." Huang Han nodded, "but the reason why I chose "The Meaning of My Existence" contains more personal emotions."
"Zi Chen, you also know, I told you my feelings after I finished the first reading in the bedroom at that night."
Zi Chen nodded in response to Huang Han.
"Although I know that the script wants to express something serious, but I imagined it and felt that it would be okay to give such a performance at the New Year's Day party. After all, the whole story is very innovative, and the ending is also unexpected. It is considered a win. On the creative point."
"That's right! I have never touched such a small script before with transparent people or other settings, such as low sense of existence. But I don't like the ending very much..." Zi Chen frowned slightly. A little helpless.
"Why do two transparent people find each other with great difficulty, but in the end arrange for one of them to be seriously injured? And why do they get caught in the water when they do bad things, and when they change their minds to help others, they get hurt instead? "
"Perhaps because the real life is not that everything is so beautiful." I couldn't help responding to Zi Chen's doubts. The feeling of blockage in his heart felt by Zi Chen, I naturally couldn't understand it better.
"But look, the author of this play actually left us with hope in the end, didn't it? Although one of them was seriously injured, at least there are companions similar to him accompanied him. As long as the companions take the initiative to touch others for help , In fact, the last, maybe it is a good ending. "I said what I wanted to convey in the script.
"Yes, Xiaoan! You are absolutely right." Huang Han looked at me with admiration, "So I don't think there is any problem in performing at the New Year's Party."
This boast made me a little embarrassed.
Of course, I can't tell you how long I thought about when refactoring the ending, and I almost missed the deadline.
I don't like the original ending.Of course, although it has been adapted, it does not mean that I like the ending.But for now, this ending is the best, right?
Just finding a similar partner for the almost transparent person and planting a seed of hope when he is dying is the best I can give while retaining those emotions to the maximum. Answered the paper.
Huang Han smiled embarrassedly: "When I received this script, it was only an hour before the deadline. I was surprised that I could receive a new script at such a late time. Actually, on the same day After I read it the first time in the evening, I felt more regret and helplessness in my heart. The last two sentences also touched me a lot. But I didn’t expect that this script would make me think about it for a long time. It's a sense of relief now."
"That's good." I blurted out.
"What, Xiaoan?"
"Ah! Nothing, nothing~"
Huang Han didn't pay too much attention and continued: "So I think if we perform on it, everyone might feel similar to me. That's why I chose it in these three scripts."
"Okay, Huang Han! Really worked hard for you! I voted for "The Meaning of My Existence"~" Zi Chen immediately gave his vote after listening.
"Then I will vote for this too." Wang Yichuan said immediately.
"Eh Zichen, did you decide so soon?" I was a little surprised.
"Well, compared to traditional things, I prefer new ideas. Then I think "Secret Love in the Plum Garden" needs too many actors, even if we can find some extras to come guest roles, everyone in this script has a lot It’s difficult to directly let those who played the role of friendship directly get started.” Zi Chen told her analysis, some of which are very consistent with my judgment.
"I think I like this one better too." The magician classmate who has not spoken glanced at me and gave his vote.
"Eh~~ Choose that one! I really think "Secret Love in the Plum Garden" is very good! No one to see it? Where is Huang Han? Where is Xiaoan?" Liu Yiyi pinned the last hope on the two of us.
"I said at the first meeting that I would not participate in voting." Although I was at that time and I have very different reasons.
"Me too, I am responsible for picking out 3 scripts, and then you can choose them."
"Huh? The heroine of others!" Liu Yiyi slumped on the round table again like a discouraged ball.
"That being the case, the results are ready to come. Let's get ready for the next two months!"
On the second day of that celebration, when I woke up in a strange prone position on the bed, I was a little bit dumbfounded.Originally, I just climbed onto the bed to get the shower cap needed for a bath. When my head touched my beloved little pillow, I fell asleep like the tired Liu Yiyi.
After the dialogue with Miki, the process of writing the script was actually my self-organizing process.
I have no intention of actually competing in the script contest. I sent it to Huang Han only to answer the question she asked me on the day I proposed to set up the theater.Because I know, she will definitely watch it.
But since I got this honor, it's not worthy of my own emotions contained in the script.
——"What do you think is the meaning of existence?" Huang Han asked.
——"What is success for you? And what kind of life do you want?" Miki asked.
——"To live is the meaning of existence."
——"Finding what you cherish and being able to live your life happily is the greatest success."
These are the two sentences I wrote at the end of the script.
It is also my answer.
What is a person?
People are witnesses of life.
