Chapter 68 The Year That Can't Go Back
The closer the time is, the more anxious everyone is to go home.
The mother of Jiangshan’s family, Wang Lianhua, called each other a few days ago and asked, “Is your school holiday notice coming out?”
Today, the Beijing Film Academy’s holiday notice was released. The winter vacation will be held on February 4th (the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month). On March 9th and 10th, all students in the school will register and register. The official class time will be March 11th (Monday).
During the busy academic process, Jiang Shan helped the class to release a New Year's Day party program in the department. This New Year's Day came to the end of January in a blink of an eye.
The school also helped to buy the train tickets home, so it was waiting for the 4th.
Yesterday, Deng Chao and Jiang Shan called and said that it would be the last performance of "Charlotte's Troubles". In addition, the holidays are ongoing, so everyone must come to get together before returning home for the New Year.
After the beginning of the New Year, Deng Chao and his friends also had many chores to graduate. According to their statement, they might decide when they will drink next time.
So the matter was settled.
It was originally a meal, but unexpectedly something went wrong in the middle.
"Charlotte's Troubles" was originally scheduled to perform 12 shows, and the audience was dissatisfied two days before the last show.
It’s not that the show is not good, but that the performance cycle is too short and no one can watch it enough.
There were even some drama fans who couldn't come back to grab the ticket, and "Charlotte's Troubles" was finished.
At this stage, there are 20,000 to 30,000 fixed groups in the Beijing drama market. 700 people are counted as 12 games, and even half of the audience in the Beijing drama market is not covered.
Of course, the numbers cannot be calculated so roughly, but the opposition from drama fans is strong, and they ask the Central Opera to extend the performances.
Although it is not as convenient and fast as a movie, dramas have always had a tenacious and resilient market in Beijing.
As these relatives and friends come here, how can there be few good dramas during the Chinese New Year?
What's wrong with not watching a drama?
It is understandable that everyone protests like this.
The 1998-level instructor Tian Youliang suggested that Deng Chao and the others should not go back for the time being, and perform more "Charlotte's Troubles" after the New Year, which is just right to seize the drama market during the New Year.
Others can have New Year’s films, why can’t dramas be left out?
As for the specific number of games, it depends on the specific pre-sale situation analysis.
At the dinner table, Jiang Shan also asked Deng Chao and others this question, "What are you going to make a decision?"
"Of course it was a show. I told my family that I won't go back this year."
Deng Chao took the lead in answering, and other major actors followed him.
"Me too."
"I won't go."
Most of the people in the 98-level performance class of the Central Academy of Drama chose to stay, and only a few of them decided to go home for the New Year early. This sudden situation was really a bit unlucky.
Deng Chao raised the wine glass in his hand and touched Jiang Shan for a moment, then asked, "Where are you?"
“Back.”
Jiang Shan met him and replied briefly.
The fact is that people will never keep up with changes. Yesterday, Jiang Shan was telling Deng Chao that he was going home for the New Year, but the next day the leader of the department came.
Wang Rui, deputy director of the department, is also an acquaintance. This time he came to see Jiang Shan with a purpose.
"After the New Year, there was a 'Small Theater Drama Seminar' jointly organized by the Beijing Drama Association and China Culture News and the New Scripts. The department decided to let you go with two teachers from the Department of Literature to listen. What about you, the main thing is that you don't need to go on stage to speak."
When did Jiang Shan’s first reaction after hearing what he said was, “When?”.
"Ninth day after the New Year, the 20th day."
Jiang Shan thought for a moment and agreed. After Deputy Director Wang Rui left, he began to think about how to explain this to his parents at home.
This year's Spring Festival is February 12. I decided to attend this seminar. I will definitely not be able to go back this year.
In the evening, Jiang Shan struggled for a long time before dialing the landline in his hometown.
"Son, what's wrong? Is it because I don't have enough money?"
Hearing the mother's words on the other end of the phone, Jiang Shan hurriedly explained, "I have enough money, I can't spend all this month. I just called me and wanted to tell you something."
"Say it, I'll listen."
"I won't go back for the Chinese New Year this year. There was a seminar department that decided to let me go and listen."
After Jiang Shan said that, he hadn't heard a response from the other end of the phone for a long time.
"Mom, Mom? Are you listening?"
"Mom, listen!" Wang Lianhua replied, "Are you sure you won't come back?"
"I will definitely go back this year. I happened to encounter such a thing in the school, so it is hard for me to turn it off."
Jiang Shan defended himself, but in fact, the more he said this, the less he felt.
Wang Lianhua didn't say anything more about this, but only cared about it at the end, "Then you should pay more attention to your health outside, and you can't treat yourself badly during the Chinese New Year?"
"I'll ask your dad to call you some more in two days."
Hearing this, Jiang Shan waved his hands repeatedly and refused, "Mom, I really don't have to have money on me. I've written a script recently and sold it for more than 10,000 yuan. I don't have to send money to me anymore. Now I can support myself."
"Ah? Something sold for 10,000?"
…………………………
Until he hung up the phone, Wang Lianhua still couldn't believe what her son said.
Jiang Peng, who was organizing supper in the kitchen, glanced at his wife and took the time to ask, "Who is it? Our son's phone number?"
The fact that Jiang Shan earned her own living expenses temporarily dispelled Wang Lianhua's sadness in her son's heart from not going home for the New Year. Her attention was completely scared by the news from Jiang Shankou.
"Our son is promising!"
Wang Lianhua couldn't help but show off to her husband, and she said to Jiang Peng with a spring breeze: "Do you know Lao Jiang? Our son said on the phone that one of his scripts sold for more than 10,000 yuan!"
Hearing the number in his wife's mouth, Jiang Peng, who was cooking, couldn't help but turn off the fire and poke his head out of the kitchen.
"How much did you say?"
"A script is more than 10,000 yuan! It's worth your salary for several months!"
Hearing this, Jiang Peng couldn't help but look at his wife, "What do you say, it's not right for your son to be better than his father! Otherwise, wouldn't the money I paid for him to attend the training class be wasted?"
"You're called spending money? Our son, Beijing Film Academy, is the first in the Central Academy of Drama. The training school won't give him a reward of 30,000 yuan?" Wang Lianhua gave him a blank look and immediately retorted.
"The money I spent in the past is nothing? I don't pay him from kindergarten to high school!"
The couple quarreled about who was offering sacrifices to Jiang Shan for a long time, and then Jiang Peng was cured by Wang Lianhua's words.
"Our son said he won't come back for the New Year this year..."
"ah?"
Jiang Peng looked at the refrigerator and said that the New Year’s goods were almost ready. Will his son not come back for the New Year this year?
