Generation Z Artists

Chapter 68 Come on, let’s do it big

The outside world was in an uproar throughout the entire day.

In the 90s, literature was still a very serious matter, so when Wang Shuo emerged with his easy-to-understand, humorous and satirical writing, he quickly became a mentor to one generation and a cultural hooligan in the eyes of another.

But even Wang Shuo never pointed his finger at readers and scolded them; he only criticized public figures.

In comparison, Fang Xinghe was simply a madman. Not only was his style unprecedentedly wild and groundbreaking in youth literature, but his stance even directly undermined his own base, which naturally caused even greater disturbances.

Who could have imagined it beforehand?

In a new concept essay collection full of youthful fantasy and girlish romance, a huge truck suddenly jumped out and ran over it recklessly. The sudden sourness and shock...tsk tsk.

This is exactly what Fang Xinghe's original goal was. Although it seems a bit crazy in the current good situation, if you think about it from another perspective, in this broken and anti-everything era, madness may not be the best solution, but it is definitely the most enjoyable solution.

Being the ultimate black and red, and looking down on everything in the storm, isn't that more satisfying than just following the rules and being pointed at by the old guys?

If anyone dares to take advantage of their age again, I will slap him in the face. Sorry, I'm crazy!

……

In the afternoon, as soon as he walked in, the classroom suddenly fell silent.

The new classmates looked at him cautiously, not daring to breathe, as if they had seen a ferocious beast.

Well, he is indeed a beast.

It is really hard not to be afraid of the wildness of a person who walks alone and regards others as not of his own kind.

Not only did the good students in the class keep their distance from him, even those poor students who loved to play and had bad tempers seemed timid when facing him.

The first class of the afternoon began in extreme silence.

The Chinese teacher was the little old lady who was the head teacher.

As soon as she entered the door, she looked towards the corner of the back row. After seeing Fang Xinghe, a smile appeared in her eyes.

"In today's class, we will do essay appreciation."

Fang Xinghe looked up in astonishment, only to see the old lady pull out a New Concept essay collection and ask leisurely, "Is there anyone else who hasn't read the essay "Youth" by Fang Xinghe in our class?"

No one in the classroom raised their hands.

"Very good, you've read it, right? Then let's talk about it today. The author happens to be here too, and our class has unique conditions. I'll ask him to talk about his writing ideas later, haha!"

Mom!
What kind of new punishment is this?
Brother Fang was complaining like crazy in his mind, and he felt so awkward that he clenched his toes instantly.

Having a strong psychological endurance does not mean that there will be no emotional fluctuations, it just means that you can endure it better and act better.

But there was nothing he could do. He could only keep a straight face and hope that these kids wouldn't play in an awkward way.

The little old lady opened the book and began to read aloud.

Brother Fang's hair stood on end, his scalp felt numb, and he felt extremely tormented.

Really, if you just read the text of this article, it’s very good, refreshing, domineering and liberating.

But if you listen to a little old lady reading it with great emotion... Oh my God!
For example, "Ah, you guys are just crying and whining after being fucked by a dog but you don't dare to fuck back. Really, you need me so damn much."

What does it sound like when a female voice reads this sentence?
Anyway, Fang Xinghe didn't want to try it at all.

He raised his hand hastily: "Teacher Wang, do I have to read aloud?"

"Yes!" The little old lady smiled, "How else can we appreciate it?"

"That's it."

Fang Xinghe gritted his teeth and stood up suddenly: "You take a rest, I will read it myself."

"Wow! You are so energetic." The old lady smiled and waved as she walked to the side. "Then come on. The author will definitely be able to show more emotion when he reads in person."

Fang Xinghe rolled his eyes silently and strode towards the podium.

From the moment he took the first step, he began to actively adjust his own state.

Core concepts in performing arts: action and prescribed situations.

Stanislavsky's system requires actors to truly see, hear, think, feel and act in a prescribed situation.

And everything points to one fundamental quality: the actor's sense of conviction.

Now is a special prescribed situation, and Fang Xinghe, as an actor, has to perform prescribed actions.

I believe that the current actions are legitimate and necessary, and not ridiculous at all...

The actor Miaozi adjusted his mindset in seconds. After going on stage, he stretched his body freely and then used all his existing dialogue skills. Driven by the Gerhard Gottlieb vocal method, his sincere belief put together a passionate and simple drama.

As an actor, you have to act even if the line is "But what she lost was love".

Fang Xinghe did not exaggerate at all. He expressed the emotions as they should be - he knew very well what emotions were contained in the text and completely understood the character's inner thoughts.

As a result, the words that were originally a little difficult to pronounce turned out to be particularly sonorous and rhythmic.

When he finished reading, Teacher Wang was the first to applaud, and then led the whole class to applaud together.

The thunderous applause and cheers pulled him back from his performance state. Fang Xinghe carefully pondered the composition of literary language in the lines and the lines-emotional expression in the performance, and felt that he had gained a lot.

I opened the art panel and saw that, as expected, both the lines and the performance had grown, increasing by 2 points each.

The applause gradually died down, and just as the old lady was about to speak, the classroom door was pushed open and Liu Dashan's short and fat figure appeared at the door.

"Teacher Wang, I am sorry to bother you for a moment."

The fat man had a beaming face and waved at Fang Xinghe: "Xiao Fang, come here, the provincial station has something important to discuss with you."

……

The visitor was the deputy director of Jilin Province TV, accompanied by the county propaganda department leader and the president of the Experimental University. The status was very high. But the matter itself was very simple.

"Xiao Fang, the station wants to make a new program about you, are you willing to help?"

Look how polite they are in speaking, but that’s precisely because of Fang Xinghe’s article—I’m a very arrogant guy, so be good to me.

He had no reason to refuse a good thing like this, but he still had to ask for the details.

"What kind of program is it?"

"We are not completely sure yet," the deputy director said bluntly. "Anyway, the station is not very interested in interview programs with questions and answers. I think it is difficult to make them attractive and it is easy to waste your influence."

Wow, you're not hiding it at all, are you really going to just hold me tight and rub against me?

But the problem is...

"It's too intense. Can it pass the trial?"

The deputy director was a little stunned: "Too intense? How intense can it be? Just don't swear randomly, and talk about whatever you want!"

Oh, by the way, in this era, pornographic, violent and bloody scenes can be broadcast on TV. Although they are not particularly wild, the environment for artistic creation is much more relaxed than in the future generations that Fang Xinghe is familiar with.

That's fine, I like to speak freely without restrictions.

The propaganda leader suddenly asked: "Xiao Fang, do you have any ideas? Or preferences?"

Fang Xinghe subconsciously thought of later talk shows such as "Round Table", "13 Invitations", and "Informal Talks", and then drove them all out of his mind.

Unscripted cultural chat shows may seem simple, but in fact, the requirements for the host and guests are too high, and they cannot be replicated by simply creating a format.

So if he simplified it according to the current conditions, he would immediately have an idea.

"There is a host who controls the scene, a guest speaker who brings up the main topic, two or three scholars in different cultural fields who are responsible for creating opposing viewpoints, and 30 to 50 audience members who can ask questions and refute certain viewpoints."

"Oh! Wonderful!"

The deputy director clapped his hands in excitement.

"On-site collisions are most likely to bring up tempers. Let's talk about it for two or three hours and cut out the most intense parts. It will definitely look good!"

The propaganda department leader commented: "It can follow both social hot spots and personal hot spots, and the topic selection is very flexible."

The principal took the initiative to help check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps: "If the guest of honor is not very good at speaking, the deputy guest can also sing the same tune, playing the roles of the pros and cons respectively, without affecting the advancement of the topic."

Liu Dashan: “It’s high, really high!”

Alas...look at your status!
Fang Xinghe still felt that it was not easy to make the show really well, but he was not going to spoil the fun and just laughed it off.

"Xiao Fang, you will definitely be the main guest of the first episode. Do you have any requirements for cultural scholars and audiences?"

"No."

"Yes, you can."

The deputy director couldn't help but speak most bluntly: "The station can definitely find two scholars who appreciate you, and then carefully screen the audience to create a good environment for you..."

"No need."

Fang Xinghe's refusal became even more resolute.

"As long as there is a process, order, and a chance for me to speak, I am not afraid to confront anyone head-on. If the whole process is harmonious, what is there to be excited about?"

The adults in the room all looked at each other sideways, truly experiencing what it meant to be "a young tiger, but already capable of swallowing a cow."

"Okay, I'll go back and prepare the show."

The deputy director didn't even drink his tea and stood up in a hurry.

"The host and guests are easy to choose, but it will take some time to select the audience. We only have two famous schools in Changchun, and we are so short of talent. We can only work hard to do our job to perfection..."

Although this deputy director likes to take advantage of others, he has a very quick mind.

I realized immediately that the audience should invite some top students of the same age, so as to create the most interesting scenes.

"You can choose freely." Fang Xinghe immediately gave him a reassuring pill, "I am not afraid of my peers who are sharp and thoughtful. The stronger they are, the better. It is even better if they are hostile to me."

Once this program can be successfully run, it will greatly meet Fang Xinghe's publicity needs.

So why not drastically do it?

　Many readers do not understand 1999, and when they use their current thinking and knowledge to experience the era in the book, they have biased perceptions, which is normal.

　　The most rebellious writer at that time was Wang Shuo, and Internet-style group mocking articles had not yet appeared.

　　Han Han became so popular because he benefited from the anti-traditional dividends of the first generation of the Internet.

　　But the intensity of their writing is obviously not as strong as Xiao Fang's.

　　Then, the "crown pearl" of family education is "Harvard Girl Liu".

　　The trend of ideological education is extremely reactionary.

　　The urban and rural education systems are completely separated, with large-scale separation in junior high schools, only top students in high schools, and elite education implemented in universities.

　　 After the expansion of enrollment in 2000, a new evil appeared: graduation = unemployment. Looking back at the reform and opening up to the present, the most violent period is definitely not the current post-epidemic era, but the turn of the century, the decade between the 98 economic crisis and 08.

　　So even if you lived in that era, it would be difficult to have an accurate personal sense of the body because the regional, economic and environmental differences were so great.

　　This article is the one I carefully prepared for Xiao Fang to try to dispel his fan base. It is completely targeted at the various characteristics of that era. Do not use the current environment as a substitute, as that would be inaccurate.

　　If you insist on discussing whether this article is awesome in today's Internet environment, I can only admit that it is not awesome. It is not as good as deepseek's 3-second workload. However, I did not use ds to run it. Instead, I wrote it myself according to the environment at the time to achieve a unified writing style. This is sincerity based on real needs.
