Three days later, Thursday.
Zhang Yiyang came to the door of the office and silently cheered himself up to calm down his slightly nervous mood.
"It's okay, don't be nervous. I have the skit script and a complete set of materials given by my junior brother. It's absolutely foolproof!"
Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival coincides with National Day, and there will be an eight-day holiday. Today is the last day before the holiday. He came to his instructor to report on the progress of the preparations for the welcome party.
This report is very important.
If the report goes well, it means that most of the main programs for the New Year's Eve Party can be finalized, and then all it takes is rehearsals according to the established timeline.
This long vacation only requires three or four days to rehearse, and the remaining time can be used for fun.
But if the report doesn't go well, it will be troublesome. The program for the New Year's Party will continue to be adjusted by then. Considering that re-selecting scripts, selecting people, rehearsing and other steps will take a lot of time, all their rest time will be wasted during this holiday.
In short, this report is not only related to the success or failure of the future welcome party, but also related to the precious vacation of these people.
However, Zhang Yiyang is still relatively confident, because yesterday, Lu Zhixing handed him the detailed script of the stage play "In My Eyes" and all the virtual set materials used on the stage.
After seeing the script, Zhang Yiyang understood why Lu Zhixing said this was not quite a sketch.
Although its form of expression is somewhat biased toward a stage play, it is not shown from a third-person perspective as a whole, but from a first-person perspective.
In other words, the audience's perspective is not God's perspective, but that of one of the characters. It's more like a game than a stage play.
At first, Zhang Yiyang was a little worried about whether such an original model that was too novel would overturn, but after reading the script, he was completely conquered.
Coupled with the art materials that Lu Zhixing got from nowhere, Zhang Yiyang was instantly sure that he could completely conquer the instructor.
It is even possible to get more resources from the academy.
After his mood calmed down a little, Zhang Yiyang knocked on the door gently.
"Enter."
He pushed the door open and saw Fang Ling, the instructor at the college's orientation party, just finishing processing a document in her hand.
"Teacher Fang, let me report to you on the preparations for the welcome party."
Fang Ling looked at him: "Well, sit down. Have the language programs been decided?"
This teacher Fang Ling is famous for her strict requirements. This time, the college issued a strict order that the popularity of the welcome party must reach the top five. Fang Ling was the first to bear the brunt. Naturally, she had to pass on the pressure layer by layer, putting pressure on Zhang Yiyang and Yan Wei and two people.
If it had been before, Zhang Yiyang would have been really frightened when he saw Fang Ling and didn't know how to communicate.
But now that he has the plug-in of his junior fellow student, he can hold his head high and face Fang Ling's death stare.
"Teacher Fang, we have decided on two language programs. One is "Undercover Trainee" and the other is "In My Eyes". This is the script."
Zhang Yiyang said and handed over two printed scripts.
Fang Ling reached out and took it, watching "Undercover Trainer" first, and frowned as she watched it.
"This book...
“There are a lot of laughs and baggage, but is it too aggressive?
"It's not that I'm worried about anything else. I'm mainly worried that it will distort the tone of the entire party. After all, our party is to represent the image of the School of Game Design. We want to show it in front of the teachers and students of the school, so it's better to be more cautious."
For these teachers in the college, they are not worried that the satire of the sketch will offend some talent shows.
Because in their opinion, the college's welcome party is just a small event, and its scope of influence is limited to the Jinghai University campus at most, so it cannot be too popular. So don’t worry about offending those talent shows, capital may not even know there is such a skit.
These teachers are more worried about the impact on the "college image."
In fact, domestic colleges and universities are still conservative on the whole, and the orientation party also plays a role in displaying the image of the college, so they are still worried about the "tone of the party", just like the Spring Festival Gala decades ago worried about "making the audience laugh. Is it good or not?"
The program "Undercover Trainee" allows the leaders of the college and even the school leaders to see whether it is suitable or not, which is risky.
On such occasions, it is true that sketches with happy beginnings and tragic endings are more likely to be favored. Although this kind of sketch is not funny, it is more stable and has less risk.
Of course, Zhang Yiyang and Lu Zhixing definitely disagree with this view. After all, different positions mean different perspectives on things.
It is understandable that the instructor has such concerns.
Zhang Yiyang had already guessed this and had already thought of countermeasures.
"Teacher Fang, don't worry about this, isn't there a language program?
"My idea is that we don't do the usual vulgar "happy beginning and sad ending" routine of the usual party skits. If you want to laugh, let the audience laugh, and don't force the value at the end; if you want to cry, let the audience laugh from beginning to end. Even if you are crying, don’t insert any comedy elements at the beginning.
"So "Undercover Trainee" is put in the front, and "In My Eyes" is put in the back. Anyway, we just need to bring back the tone of the party."
In fact, the solution he thought of at the beginning was to dilute it with a "happy beginning and sad ending" sketch later to set the tone back. I just didn't expect that Lu Zhixing would give me a more perfect solution.
So Zhang Yiyang copied the standard answer and used this more perfect plan to submit the task.
Fang Ling nodded and picked up "In My Eyes" again: "Okay, I'll look at this book again."
She was still a little worried about what Zhang Yiyang said.
Can another language program really bring the tone of the party back?
Soon, all Fang Ling's worries disappeared, because she was surprised to find that "In My Eyes of You" turned out to be a very novel stage play, and it was very touching, and she shed tears throughout the whole process!
First of all, it turns out to be shown from a first-person perspective. In other words, the actors on the stage will talk to the audience, and the characters played by the audience will talk to the actors on the stage, but the audience cannot see the specific people.
This practice is common in games, but rarely in stage plays.
Fang Ling was confused at first and couldn't figure out why such an unclear first-person perspective was needed, but when she saw the detailed plot, she immediately understood.
This is to better enhance the audience's sense of immersion.
The general plot of "In My Eyes" is: an angel finds the protagonist and tells him that the protagonist's mother has passed away and there is hope of going to heaven, but he needs to ask the protagonist some questions to finally determine whether the protagonist's mother is qualified to go to heaven. Therefore, as the angel and the protagonist question and answer, the life of the protagonist and his mother gradually appears in the eyes of all viewers.
The protagonist tells the angel about his life with his mother:
When he was a child, he was born in an ordinary machine factory family home. He was very sensible and listened to his mother's words since he was a child.
He was very obedient and played with his toys while his mother was cooking. When he grew up, he would take the bus to distant cities to learn painting and piano. He would play football with his friends on the playground. My financial situation is tight, so I always avoid small shops and don’t buy any snacks.
Later, he took the exam, but he had no talent in music or painting, so he had to give up. Because of his loneliness, he fell in love with running. In this way, he kept running, running faster and faster, and became an athlete.
In class, he met a girl he liked. He ran first in every school sports meeting. The girl he liked applauded him and brought him water.
When he grew up, he broke records, won gold medals, and participated in the Olympic Games. Although he did not get a ranking, he made his parents proud of him. Later, he retired and met the girl he liked by chance. They lay on the playground and watched the sunset together, and they naturally came together.
Later, he organized many charity runs and used charity funds to help many disabled children. Until his mother passed away peacefully in the hospital bed, telling him that he had no regrets in this life.
However, the angel quickly found a flaw in what he said. After severely criticizing him for not being able to lie, the angel restored the true life in the details of those memories:
In fact, he has no talent, is very stupid and naughty, and was very ignorant when he was a child.
Every previous scene, including playing with toys, going to the city to learn painting and piano, avoiding small shops, etc., has changed. He is willful, naughty, and a bit unsociable, and he always makes his mother worry less.
When he grew up, he did not become an athlete. He fell accidentally and appeared in the hospital. Since then, he has been forced to sit in a wheelchair, and those scenes of running are actually his fantasies while sitting in a wheelchair.
In class, he felt the strange eyes of his classmates. Every time he passed by the teaching building, he would be stared at by all his classmates. The teacher arranged for classmates to help him, but these classmates were a little impatient, and he also felt that he had troubled others.
The girl at the front desk was the only one who really cared about him, but he wasn't sure whether she liked her or not, and he didn't dare to get close to her.
He tried hard to live like a normal person, but his mother was still forced to put down her work to take care of him, and the family's financial situation was stretched due to the treatment expenses.
He hated himself, hated himself for not being sensible and not letting his mother worry when he was healthy, but then he became sensible and became a burden.
So after his mother died and he saw an angel in his dream, he made up such a story to lie to himself. He didn't want to deceive the angel, but simply couldn't pass his level, so he painted such a scene in his mind to make up for his regrets.
Just when the protagonist thinks everything is irreversible, his mother appears.
But this time, the mother told the angel about her child’s life in her eyes:
Parents see the sleeping baby in the cradle, see him grasping toys, see him babbling and pointing in the direction, see him riding his father around like a big horse, see him childishly pressing the buttons. Move the keys of the piano...
Therefore, the scenes where the protagonist is dissatisfied are so gratifying and satisfying to the parents.
And when the protagonist was in a wheelchair, he was always thinking of ways to make his parents happy. He imagined that he could run and raise funds to help disabled children. He wrote and drew all of this, although his The writing style is very childish, and although his painting skills are not outstanding, there is still the pure heart of a child in these works.
“My child, my mother is extremely happy in this life.
"There is no need for you to fantasize about another life, because you have already lived an extremely great life."
Finally, the angel tells the protagonist to close his eyes and wake up from his dream. The deceased mother went to heaven, and the protagonist was able to let go of all the knots in his heart and live in reality with his love for his mother in mind.
