Dressed Like a Pretty Daughter-in-law From the 1970s

 Chapter 231: Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron

An Zhixia found it a bit funny, but these people were much friendlier than the old guys in the activity group. Most of their eyes were filled with curiosity, surprise and disbelief.

 After dinner, they watched the video all afternoon, and everyone was in high spirits. There are really not many entertainment activities in daily life. They watch the video as if it were TV, and occasionally write and draw on paper to help themselves remember.

 An Zhixia returned to the dormitory and found that her things had been put away, and there was a message from her brother on the table. It turned out that he was afraid that she would be busy, so he went back to help pack it away. What a virtuous snail girl. She smiled and received her brother's message in the supermarket. She simply washed away the fatigue of the day, changed into comfortable clothes, and continued walking slowly to the conference room while carrying her bag.

 When she arrived, all the staff of the director and production team were already there. They looked at her with extremely complicated eyes. Thinking about the performance mode mentioned by Director Hu, it was indeed refreshing. It broke the conventional and rigid stage style, seemed to inject vitality and filled people with a sense of expectation.

 At this time, Director Hu gave up the center seat to her and sat on the left side.

"Teacher Xiaoan, as you said, since we work together, we have to speak according to our abilities. You are sitting here today, and we are all students, listening to your command!"

An Zhixia smiled and nodded, and sat down without pushing. She said to the assistant who was playing the video: "Comrade, please take out the videos of the last five years and start playing them from last year. The first five programs will be played at the normal speed. The next four videos are played at 1.5 times the speed.”

The guys were stunned for a moment. Can you tell anything so quickly?

However, the assistant looked at Director Hu, and when the latter nodded, he started working according to An Zhixia's instructions.

The video of the official performance is not much different from what An Zhixia expected. Originally, the camera, sound, and stage effects were lagging behind. Even though the actors' performances were of different types, they gave the audience the same feeling, as if the actors were of the same kind. The programmed machine simply performs. If we don’t seek breakthroughs, we will inevitably fall into the cycle of assimilation.

Furthermore, the studio was very large, and the more than 200 audience members were going to the toilet and talking, which made a lot of noise. The stage and the stage were almost integrated. Obviously, after more than ten years of the same activities, the audience has become somewhat familiar. Aesthetic fatigue, involuntarily distracted.

An Zhixia patiently watched all five programs, then fast-forwarded three more programs, jumped directly to the video from the previous year, watched three programs at twice the speed, and then selected events from two years to watch three more indivual.

 She signaled her assistant to put away the video and turn on the light. After squinting her eyes slightly to adapt to the light, she turned the pen in her hand, looked at everyone and asked, "Do you guys have any thoughts after watching this?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads. Even if she gave them some ideas, their thinking patterns were like bones that were formed and could not grow. They were still standing around in the closed room with the skylight open.

"Teacher Xiaoan, we old guys have been stuck in the rut in innovation and screenwriting for too long, and it is difficult to change for a while. But we try to follow your pace!"

An Zhixia nodded slightly, "Okay, we have already watched fifty programs during the day. In fact, we don't need to go through two troublesome screenings. Today we can finalize the list of programs that will be officially performed."

"Teacher Xiao An, don't you need to see their effect on the stage? Some performing groups will perform exceptionally during the critical period, and they may be able to catch up with the latecomers. Besides, each of these fifty performing groups has been preparing for two months. Isn’t it a little unkind to be deprived of the chance to rehearse for such a long time?” an assistant director asked with a frown.

"As far as I know, there are hundreds of performance troupes in Kyoto, big and small. Aren't they prepared? Since this is a group competition, we have to accept the rules of survival of the fittest. Is there anything wrong with early elimination and late elimination? If you are different, you can't enter. Formal performance?" An Zhixia asked coldly: "Considering many aspects such as theme selection, emotional sublimation, and overall performance of the actors, although the program we choose will not be too accurate, the error in the top ten competition should not be large. Why waste time on their rehearsals and eliminations?”

Think about it for others, no matter how extraordinary an actor’s performance is, he must have good subject matter, content support, and team cooperation. These things will not change with time and place, so they reluctantly agreed with the method of majority submission.

Looking at several old comrades with stiff facial expressions, An Zhixia's eyes darkened slightly and continued: "Each of you take a piece of paper and write down the top twenty-five in your mind using your real name. Let me Look at the professional skills of you old comrades."

These two sentences make everyone feel a little uncomfortable. Since the real-name system is required, they cannot simply set the quota based on personal preferences and preferences, but must carefully consider all aspects. Some old comrades began to sweat on their foreheads and wanted to speak out to refute, but they looked at An Zhixia's cold eyebrows and looked at everything, then looked at Director Hu's cold face and other colleagues who were thinking hard.

They could only sigh inwardly with a grimace and start thinking about it seriously.

Director Hu couldn't help but scribbled a note and pushed it to An Zhixia: "Teacher Xiao An, did you see something? Are you afraid of getting into trouble?" It seems that the program is selected by the audience, but among them It is very maneuverable, and the top ten for the event have almost been predetermined. At most, there will be slight changes in the ranking.

 These people are only responsible for organizing the competition and do not participate in the actual selection.

“I just want the competition to be fair, transparent, and professional. I don’t understand your ways.”

 Still don’t understand this? You just throw your arms away and do it!

Director Hu chuckled and shook his head. He was still old and did not have the courage of young people to start a new life, so he began to immerse himself in writing.

 Half an hour later, An Zhixia received a stack of results and handed them to her assistant, who asked her to make a form in front of her and enter the results one by one in the form of a vote.

 In fact, everyone still has the basic ability to identify and appreciate. There are more than a dozen programs that have directly entered the exact quota with a half pass rate. The rest were finalized one by one during their intense discussions, and there were two more controversial programs than the original twenty.

 The program came out, and the framework of the entire program in An Zhixia's mind came out. It can be divided into five major themes: praising the motherland, praising the working people, being grateful to parents, imagining the future, and time flies. The remaining problem is how to organize them into a network!
