Chapter 2841 The Opera Exam

As the capital of China, the capital city has concentrated a lot of excellent resources.

Educational resources are one of them.

Of the ten best universities in China, five are in the capital, and the universities ranked first or second are the capital's signature.

This is just a comprehensive school, and there are also some highly specialized schools, the same is true.

For example, schools related to film, television and opera, Chinese opera and Beijing Film Academy are the authority in the industry. Compared with Shanghai Film Academy, they are even worse, let alone the second- and third-rate acting subjects in comprehensive universities.

If you carefully read the active people in Huaguo film and television in the past 20 years, you will know that more than 80% of them are from the above locked schools, especially when it comes to behind-the-scenes.

Therefore, the three schools are a dreamlike place for male and female students who intend to become stars.

Every year during the art test, thousands of beauties and handsome guys appear inside and outside these three schools. What a spectacular scene, Xiao Qi has watched related videos when he was abroad, and it really is pleasing to the eye , I think the appearance of the Chinese people is really good.

In addition to these art exams, some important activities every year are also hosted by these famous schools in the industry.

For example, the annual opera personnel selection competition is the highlight of the Chinese opera held in June every year.

Because there are too few young people studying opera nowadays, even if there are a few, they usually switch to film and television related industries after graduation. Even if they become martial arts students, they don’t want to stay in this industry that few people care about. .

Therefore, in the past few years, China Opera came up with an idea. Since we don’t have many resources, there are tens of thousands of opera schools and professional students across the country. It is also a good thing that the elites come to enrich our Chinese opera team and train talents for the National Center for the Performing Arts, Peking Opera theaters and other national signature performance venues in the future.

As soon as their decision is made. It really aroused the interest of many school teachers and students.

Yes, the Chinese opera industry is very depressed. Anyone can see how low the ratings of Chinese opera channels are.

But opera is the quintessence of China. It can't just be lost.

Therefore, under the leadership of the Ministry of Culture's direct allocation of funds, several grand theaters and theaters were built in the capital, especially for the performance of Peking Opera and other operas.

The ticket price is not expensive, but there are not many people here, except for entertaining foreign guests to let them have a look. The rest is basically making a profit at a loss.

But the opera actors who go inside are not at a disadvantage. The salary there is very good, enough to live a relatively affluent life, and then wait until they are forty or fifty years old, go out directly from here, and go back to their hometown or the provincial capital city. School teaching is also an elite talent that is rushing for, and it is certain that there is no need to worry about food and clothing!

It's just that these places don't need many people, and only about 100 people are added every year. In the past two years, such theaters have also begun to be built in the East. But the effect will be discussed later.

Then there is the Chinese opera itself. The talents cultivated by their opera academy can’t be said to be snatched everywhere, but after graduation, they become their professional performers and form a team to tour various countries. It is also very profitable. Adding all kinds of subsidies, it would be ten to twenty thousand at least.

These teams need more people, at least 200 places per year, and with the rise of Huaguo. There are more and more people who like Huaguo culture, and there is still no way for such a team to perform. I heard that there will be more places in the future.

For these places, there are almost thousands of opera school students who come to the capital to participate in the competition every year. Although we know that the admission rate is not high, and fewer people stay after entering school and graduating, for a bright future, there are still countless young men and women rushing forward to squeeze this single-plank bridge.

Cheng Yunyan and other outstanding students from the Opera Department of Shuchuan University are under such a background. Brought to the capital by the teachers.

Although they knew that with the Fairy Company performance, these students would have no worries for the time being, but what about in the future? Who can guarantee that Fairy Company can always support opera art so generously?

Even if Fairy Company is willing to do this, wouldn't it make Fairy Company feel that the money is worth the money if Cheng Yunyan waits for good students to go to Chinese opera for further study, and then perform after graduation?

As Cheng Yunyan, she also has her own ideas.

It is true that she likes Xiao Qi, but she still has a great sense of inferiority in her heart, because she is a poor girl with nothing. Although she looks better, Xiao Qi's wives are all beautiful, and she is not so outstanding.

Therefore, in order to attract Xiao Qi even more, Cheng Yunyan felt that if she came to the capital to take an exam, if she could study Chinese opera for a few years and gain more talent, then it would be easier for Xiao Qi to like her when she returned to Rongcheng. .

So when she started preparing in April, she worked hard at training and rehearsing, so tired that she had no free time all day long.

During this time, Xiao Qi was busy with the earthquake relief work and getting his wife pregnant. Except that Cheng Yunyan would occasionally call Xiao Qi to talk about his recent situation, the two had no contact.

The teachers of each school took the students to the capital, and the funds were all paid by themselves. In this way, the school usually paid most of the burden, and the students spent some money on their own food.

In the past, Cheng Yunyan would have refused without even thinking about it, because she had no money.

Even if she had money, she would not spend it on this aspect, but on the expenses of the orphanage.

That is to say, now Xiao Qi is responsible for the daily expenses of the orphanage, and she herself has earned a lot of money through her performances in the Fairy Company, so a small amount of three to five thousand is acceptable as the cost of this capital exam. .

Before coming here, Cheng Yunyan had inquired that if she was admitted to the opera department of Chinese opera, then at the same time, she could decide whether she could get a scholarship.

It’s not enough just to pass the entrance examination, and it’s not enough to just get a general scholarship. You must get a first-class scholarship, full tuition fees and enough room and board on weekdays, so that you can study in the capital by yourself, otherwise she will definitely have to go back.

This cute girl is really stingy to say the least, but she is so stingy, yet so cute.

There are quite a few schools that came to the capital to compete for selection. This time there are at least 60 schools with more than 2,000 students. If the assessment is done in one place, there will definitely be too little time.

Therefore, the Chinese opera has divided the competition area into eight, and the location is chosen in the auditorium of the primary and secondary school that has already been on summer vacation.

In the preliminary round, each student performs two pieces to determine the promotion list for the semi-final round.

Opera performance is not as simple as singing and dancing. The judgment of basic skills is definitely not within three to five minutes. Usually, a student will perform for about half an hour, so even if it is divided into eight competition areas, it seems very important. Busy.

Sichuan University's drama department is divided into a primary school in Haiding District. As the best student this time, Cheng Yunyan was the last to appear.

As soon as she appeared on the stage, she attracted the attention of five Chinese opera teachers. After performing one literary opera and one martial arts, except for the students, teachers and other people who were watching, three teachers stood up and applauded her.

The experienced local school teachers watching from the side were all very surprised. These Chinese opera teachers all have high eyesight, but it is rare for a student to be so appreciative.

Unsurprisingly, Cheng Yunyan got the highest score in this division and entered the first round of the rematch.

After being eliminated in the preliminary round, there were more than 1,200 people left in the first round of the rematch, which was directly reduced by half.

Among the more than two thousand students, only less than 300 students will be selected to study Chinese opera. Although the selection ratio is one-eighth, this number is quite a lot, because there are more than 500 students corresponding to the second grade in Chinese opera. students!

Well, these students are all outstanding students in the local area. Of course, they can’t enter for only one year, so under normal circumstances, they go to the second grade of the Chinese Opera Department. If they are particularly outstanding, they will directly enter the third grade. grade.

Of course, no matter the second grade or the third grade, it is very good for these students. Compared with the local schools, the signboard of Chinese opera is bigger!

Sichuan University’s Opera Department did well this time, bringing 38 students and 30 of them successfully entered the semi-finals, which is the best result so far, especially Cheng Yunyan, who was greatly praised by the teacher who was assessed. There is no big accident, Cheng Yunyan has entered the third grade of the Department of Chinese Opera and Opera properly.

So after returning to the hotel where I stayed, the teachers paid for a rare treat, and invited everyone to have a meal in a restaurant not far away.

But before he went out, a Chinese opera teacher who had participated in the assessment came to the door.

This teacher is called Wang Zhengzhang, in his forties, wearing glasses, slightly fat and always smiling. He is a senior teacher in the Chinese Opera Department, but he is not in charge of teaching, but the arrangement of performances. piece.

"Hey, are you all here?" Wang Zhengzhang happened to meet them going out, and said with a smile, "Why, why don't you go out for dinner?"

"Yes, we are going to eat at the nearby Xinfu Restaurant to celebrate the success of the preliminary round." Teacher Ren Quejin, who led the team, said with a smile, "It just so happens that you are here too, so let's have dinner together?"

"Okay!" Wang Zhengzhang didn't think too much, nodded and said, "Then I'll have a good time, and I'll eat and drink as well!"

"Haha, look at what you said, it is our honor that you are willing to reward us! This way!" Ren Quejin was determined to see him show face, thinking that he would order two more dishes later, and He made good friends, and this time, he will have an acquaintance who can handle things easily when he comes to Zhongxi with future students!
