Xu Rong looked at Zhang Heping, who was smiling more kindly, and actually understood the deeper reason in his heart.

He heard Master Zhu Xu mention it. Although he had also gone through interviews, written tests and other processes when he entered the People's Art Theater, he was initially noticed because Wu Gang wanted to pull himself.

After the recording of the "Daughter-in-law" crew was exposed, he was attacked by a group of people who thought they knew how to perform, and captured the "looplets" of the performance he summarized and the corresponding methods, and attacked them wildly.

It is a big thing that he is characterized as an industry borer and cannot be banned without banning. Although these disputes will not have a substantial impact on him, the mention of thousands of miles is often destroyed by ant holes. Once he acts in a bad drama in the future, these people will immediately jump out: Look, look, what I said at the beginning, this kind of person should be banned!

If you tell too many lies and listen to them, it will gradually become the truth, even if the truth and the fact are different.

However, the combination punch prepared by Jin Fangfang has not yet begun to exert force. Wu Gang, who has cooperated, stepped forward and sorted out his recordings and published them in the journal of the People's Art Theater.

Then, Mr. Zheng immediately quoted and discussed the feasibility of the theory, method and its shortcomings, and gave detailed supplementary explanations.

A short theory and method cannot represent anything, but it is commendable for the People's Art Theater, because Xu Rong's unity of knowledge and action is in line with the consistent concept of "scholar-type actor" of the People's Art Theater.

There are hundreds of thousands of Chinese film and television dramas, and only a few can act. Among these few, most of them still follow the rules, so that some inspiration appears and occasionally presents some highlight moments. It is not clear how it came about and what training methods to ultimately normalize it.

The reason why Xu Rong cares about these is just because he realizes that his own talent is really hard to compare with most people. Since he cannot compete for his talent, he can only lay the foundation firmly and build bricks and tiles to achieve the goal of building a tall building on the flat ground.

The one who finally pulled him to the People's Art Theater into practical actions was Pu Cunxi and Zhang Heping, who were dedicated to revitalizing the People's Art Theater.

Therefore, he also maintained considerable respect for the dean who admired him, saying, "It will be a year soon."

Zhang Heping nodded gently and said, "Take on the good news, then I will announce another good news. I will officially nominate Xu Rong to join the People's Arts Committee and review it at the next meeting."

Everyone who was already excited in the conference room suddenly fell into silence, so that the flowing air was almost stagnant.

Compared with other troupes, the People's Art Theater has two old traditions, but it is also a system that ensures that the theater always specializes in art. One is the chief director system, and the other is the art committee system.

Since Zhang Heping re-established the core position of the art committee, all important work related to art in the institute must be implemented after voting by the art committee.

The members of the Art Committee not only represent their outstanding artistic achievements in the institute, but most importantly, the membership has a very strong symbolic significance, just like the study committee member in the class, when the institute is promoted, the members of the Art Committee must be the first candidate.

Pu Cunxi suddenly raised his head and asked, "Dean, is it too fast?"

According to his plan, after the flash year, he nominated Xu Rong to join the art committee after two rounds of performances.

In his opinion, Xu Rong's entry time was not a big problem. Ren Ming also named him one year after joining the company. The key is that Xu Rong is too young.

After two rounds of performances, it was just right. When he retired, Xu Rong would have enough qualifications and would just let him take over the position of deputy director of the art committee.

Regarding Xu Rong's development plan in the hospital, he had already had a mature idea in his mind when he crossed out Wu Gang's name with a pen.

Xu Rong had to be tied to the yard.

Before implementing this plan, he still has two things to do. One is to correct some of Xu Rong's wrong perceptions. This is more urgent in his opinion. In comparison, the second one will be relatively easy, but we have to find a suitable opportunity.

Zhang Heping looked at Pu Cunxi's puzzled face, smiled and shook his head, and said, "I will explain the specific situation to you later."

He turned his head and glanced over Zhang Wankun, Shi Lanya, Yu Zhen, Yu Mingjia, Xin Yue, Zhu Xiaopeng, and two actors and stage staff who had no lines, said: "I know, there may be some people in the hospital who cannot understand my decision. I don't talk about my business ability, but only talk about attitude. In order to arrange this scene, Xu Rong turned down all the notices, and spent more than 400,000 out of his own pocket in the past three months. Even if I asked me to do this, I would not compare to myself."

Xu Rong's face became quite exciting for a moment. He spent more money than Zhang Heping said, but since Zhang Heping was able to say this number, it was obviously angering the old seniors in the yard.

In fact, the big money he spent was all for better, faster and more convenient wool sprinkling. Every time he visited the family yard, in addition to some of the initial fruits, the coldest gift was also a base of two thousand.

"So, you must believe that it is gold. No one can stop him from glowing when the light shines."

Zhang Heping finished speaking, and then turned his gaze back.

Xu Rong suddenly realized and immediately said: "The dean is too honored. As a part of the institute, this is what I should do. And the performance is successful mainly because of the dean's central dispatch. There are also the contributions of Puyuan, Teachers Zhang Wankun, Teacher Shi Lanya, Teacher Yu Zhen, Teacher Yu Mingjia, Teacher Xin Yue, Teacher Zhu Xiaopeng, and the teachers of stage and sound. In addition, it is also inseparable from the full support of various administrative departments of our institute. I just did what I should do and nominated for the art committee. This honor is really too heavy for me."

"Hmm?" Zhang Heping didn't expect Xu Rong to say this. After being stunned, he smiled and pointed at him, "Xiao Xu, if you don't do administrative work, you will really lose a lot."

"Okay, don't leave today. I'll invite everyone to barbecue restaurant at the door later!"

After leaving the conference room, Pu Cunxi and Zhang Heping walked side by side and asked, "Director, what's going on? Didn't you say that I will nominate for the New Year?"

Zhang Heping smiled happily and said, "Just just now, the leader of the competent department called and passed on a sentence: This Zhou Ping is very good."

Pu Cunxi suddenly realized, but was not surprised. The audience of the People's Art Theater also included a group of special groups who were older.

He suddenly remembered the worry in his heart and said, "By the way, Dean, I originally planned to mention it to him later. Since the nomination is made, I have to talk to Xiao Xu. His attitude towards the drama is very wrong."

Zhang Heping nodded and said, "It is normal for him to have that idea. All practitioners in the film and television industry have similar ideas. Even if you don't say it, I will remind you to talk to him as soon as possible, don't delay it, and be sure to do it as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Xu Rong was about to take off his makeup, but Pu Cunxi called him and said, "Xiao Xu, go, go to the museum."

Xu Rong was stunned for a moment and did not refuse because he found that Pu Cunxi's expression was unprecedentedly serious at this time. He thought that he would talk to some more important things.

But what else can be more serious than the nomination art committee?

Upon the fourth floor and entering the museum, Pu Cunxi walked slowly with his hands behind his back, and glanced over the props used in the past courtyard in the glass cabinet on one side, and asked, "Xiao Xu, do you understand the founder of Chinese drama?"

Xu Rong said without thinking: "Senior Hong Shen?"

Pu Cunxi nodded first, then shook his head and said, "It's right, it's not right."

Xu Rong didn't ask because he knew that since Pu Cunxi said so, he would definitely explain it next.

Pu Cunxi turned his head and asked again: "Have you heard of "The Black Slave Sou Tianlu"?"

"This knows, "Uncle Tom's Cabin."

"That's right, it's "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Pu Cunxi sighed, "In 1906, Mr. Zeng Xiaogu and Mr. Li Shutong, a student in Japan, founded a drama club in Tokyo called Chunliu Club. This is the earliest drama club for Chinese people. The following year, Chunliu Club performed two plays in Tokyo, one was "The Girl of Camellia" and the other was "The Black Slave Sou Tianlu", which was the earliest drama performed by Chinese people."

"In the same year, Mr. Wang Zhongsheng founded Chunyang Club in the Magic City and also performed "Black Slave Sou Tianlu". This is the first drama club in China. However, it was not called drama at that time, but "new drama", which is different from traditional opera, but in essence, it is actually drama."

"In the following years, a number of new drama groups emerged in the Magic City, Peking, Tianjin, Nanjing and Wuhan, performing dramas such as "Hot Blood", "Long Live the Republic", and "Social Bell". This stage should be considered the enlightenment stage of Chinese dramas."

"During this period, new dramas, or talk dramas, flourished as a new art form, but the good times did not last long. When the Xin-Hai-Ring and the Republic of China were completed, the new dramas suffered unprecedented heavy blows."

Pu Cunxi suddenly sighed and said, "Although the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, the society was still turbulent and chaotic. In the past, new dramas with revolutionary ideals, faced with cruel reality, some of them became depressed and no longer wrote or acted. Some used dramas as a means of survival. In order to cater to the interests of people of different classes, various "civilized dramas" with poor artistic quality and vulgarity appeared. Some businessmen at that time saw that such "civilized dramas" were profitable, so they rushed forward, collected actors, established drama clubs, and edited plays. For a time, the "civilized dramas" were unprecedentedly prosperous, and new dramas aimed at enlightening people's wisdom and changing society gradually declined."

Xu Rong remembered a crosstalk troupe that had been hustling in the outside world recently and asked: "Just like the crosstalk that has suddenly become popular in recent years?"

Pu Cunxi glanced at him and said with a smile: "Almost, it seems that practitioners have increased overnight and have grown the team. In fact, all those who are influx are laymen. Since they do not have real skills, they can only make quick money by relying on vulgarity and kitsch. From history, it can be seen that the audience will feel fresh in the early stages of this kind of thing, but they will definitely gradually disgust it in the later stages."

Xu Rong nodded and said, "How did the drama rise again?"

Pu Cunxi said: "First of all, I would like to thank the New Culture Movement. At that time, Chen *xiu, Hu Shi, Fu Sinian and others especially praised the power of the new drama to inspire the people's awareness and the social problem drama of Ibsen. At the same time, Chen Dabei and Mr. Ouyang Yuqian, the father of Mr. Ouyang Shanzun, the founder of our institute, put forward the slogan of "love American dramas" to draw a clear line with traditional old dramas and degenerate "civilized dramas". The Prime Minister at that time was also one of the respondents."

"American dramas were popular at that time?"

Pu Cunxi glared at him and said, "Love American dramas is not the drama on the ocean now, but the transliteration of amateur. The original meaning is 'non-professional drama', that is, it is not for profit. When art does not have to be sold for money, it will not gradually lose its original meaning in order to cater to low-level interests."

"Inspired by non-professional drama slogans, groups such as the People's Drama Club, Xinyou Drama Club, and Nanguo Club have appeared one after another, and a number of excellent plays have also been born, such as Mr. Tian Han's "Night of the Tiger", "The Death of Famous Good", Mr. Guo Moruo's "Three Rebellious Women", Xiong Foxi's "A Patriotism", Mr. Ouyang's "Shrew", Ding Xilin's "A Wasp", etc. These excellent plays have also laid the foundation for Chinese dramas."

Pu Cunxi said, pointing to an old newspaper in the glass cabinet on one side, and said, "Here, this is the drama newspaper "Prison Duck" and "Xu's Mother Swearing Cao" published in the "New Drama News" in 1917."

Xu Rong took a closer look and saw that the opera newspaper had black characters on white background, with the middle of the actors of different sizes written on it. The corners are the date of the play, and the name of the play is all combined with traditional and simple. Among them, the name of the actor he was vaguely familiar with was only "Shang Xiaoyun".

Pu Cunxi continued walking and said, "In 1922, as you know, Mr. Hong Shen, who specializes in drama in the United States, returned to China. He made drastic reforms to non-professional dramas in terms of scripts, stage discipline, director system, etc., and implemented a system of male-female co-star. In the past, not only traditional dramas, but also women in new dramas were also played by men. Actresses can occasionally rehearse, but they all performed with same-sex actors and cannot be on the same stage with male actors."

"Six years later, in 1928, Mr. Hong Shen translated the English drama into 'drama'. At this point, Chinese dramas were officially named."

Xu Rong looked at Pu Cunxi in confusion, not understanding the meaning of taking him to the fourth floor so seriously. Could it be that he was trying to talk to himself about the history of the drama? Look at these cultural relics?

Pu Cunxi stood still, looked at him and said strongly: "I bring you here today because I hope you can understand that Chinese dramas are formed step by step in the game and integration of commercialization and elegant artistic aesthetics in the wave of social movements and revolution. The most essential purpose of its existence is not to sell money, nor to make the vast majority of viewers happy, enjoy, and pass the time. Its greatest significance is to guide knowledgeable people in society to improve society and improve the living conditions of the general public."

"So, Manager Wang always says improvement, so our performance strives to be real. Improvement is the most essential purpose of the drama at the beginning and the most important purpose. Once this purpose is lost, the drama will become a 'civilized drama' and will definitely be eliminated by society." Pu Cunxi looked at Xu Rong with bright eyes, "Do you understand?"

Xu Rong was a little uncomfortable when he saw him and whispered: "I understand."

Because in the past, he always believed that the standard for judging whether a drama is good or not is the box office, the applause and feedback from the audience. Until today, someone told him that the purpose of a drama is not to make money, nor can it be to make money, but to improve it.
