Chapter 560 Subsidizing the Performance
Jiang Hao and Mei Lin came to the cafe and sat opposite each other.
"Jon, have you thought of a show to perform?" Merlin asked.
Jiang Hao spread his hands, and said helplessly: "I have thought about several programs, too many ideas, and it is difficult to choose."
Merlin smiled, "Others are troubled because there are no programs, but you don't know how to choose. Is this trouble of happiness? Can you tell me about it, and I can refer to it for you."
Jiang Hao took a sip of coffee, "Of course no problem, one is close-up magic, coins, playing cards, and so on."
As Jiang Hao said, he stretched out his hand to grab the air, and when he retracted it, there was an extra delicate rose in his hand.
"For you."
Last time at a party, Jiang Hao sent flowers to Merlin, but was interrupted by the quarterback. This time, Merlin took the flowers with a smile, put them under his nose and smelled them, "It's very fragrant, thank you for the flowers, Jon."
Jiang Hao spread his hands, "I believe that very beautiful performances can be designed, but I think this is too ordinary, too many people perform this, the effect may not be very good, I hope my performance has that kind of shocking scene. "
"I also thought of a scene show magic, with a comic effect, to pursue a girl, from the beginning to recognize the meal, to the whole process of opening a room, using various magic methods to pursue, of course, there are some failed magic tricks. It's the joke of the show."
Merlin's eyes lit up, "That's a good idea."
"Yes, I also think this idea is good, and it should be able to attract the audience, but when I was in opera class yesterday, I suddenly had another idea." Jiang Hao said.
"what idea?"
Mei Lin leaned forward and looked at Jiang Hao curiously. This action fully exposed Mei Lin.
Jiang Hao's eyes couldn't help wandering over it twice.
"Opera + magic, strictly speaking, comedy + opera + magic."
"After all, I studied opera, and now operas are becoming more and more popular. Ordinary people seldom come into contact with operas, and rarely appreciate operas. I just wondered whether operas can be integrated into performances so that more audiences can enjoy them. The charm of opera."
"In the last game, I used shit, piss and fart to attract the audience. In fact, it was quite opportunistic. I really like more literary things."
After Jiang Hao finished speaking, Mei Lin became even more interested, "I like opera performances, too. Do you have any general ideas? Let's analyze the feasibility together."
"There are some, I think of the classic scene "Matador Song" in the opera "Carmen". Of course, we don't have to completely copy the tavern scene, we can turn it into a comedy. I sing and perform, such as shaking the windbreaker and stabbing the sword This movement can completely make that guy Dell pretend to be a cow, and then stab him to death with a sword."
"Another example is the woman interacting with the male lead, by the way, can you do the bullfight dance?" Jiang Hao looked at Mei Lin and asked.
Merlin nodded vigorously, "Of course, I will."
"That would be great. In the next scene, the "Matador March" sounded, and then I invited you to dance, but you looked at the clothes on your body, which were just ordinary tavern clothes. You frowned. I brushed your cloak on you, and immediately Turn into a red dance costume, and then the two of us dance, isn't it very lively."
Merlin's eyes showed thought, imagining the scene of the performance, "It should be very wonderful."
Mei Lin was wandering, Jiang Hao was eating ice cream, he couldn't help but admire in his heart, he was really full.
"Jon, I feel great!"
Merlin suddenly said excitedly, "Jon, the talent show stage likes to be lively. There are serious operas, comedies, and unexpected magic effects. I think this show will be very popular. Jon, your creativity is very good."
"Just, how do I change my clothes?" Merlin asked.
Jiang Haodao: "Of course it is hidden in the original suit. Many magicians have performed this magic trick. In fact, several pieces of clothing are connected together, divided into upper and lower parts, and the middle waist is connected together. When performing Like flipping through a book."
Jiang Hao shamelessly exposed a classic magic trick.
Merlin became even more excited, "Jon, I can't wait, when will we rehearse."
"Don't worry, I need to write a detailed performance script, and there are still some details to be designed. It will probably take a day or two." Jiang Hao shook his head.
"Well, I'll wait for your call at any time, oh, I also want to strengthen my bullfighting performance." Merlin said.
Back in the dormitory, Jiang Hao turned on the computer and was about to write the script when he suddenly thought of something.
I cut the video of my performance on the talent show from the Internet, and shared it on my Twitter, Facebook and Youtu. This is a kind of self-promotion. Anyway, if you can catch a fan, it counts as one.
Then he settled down to study the script of the show.
The idea this time is only a part of the opera, and it is impossible to perform all of the four-minute opera fragments. The changes in it need to be changed by himself to achieve the best effect, and how to integrate into the magic performance. Redesign.
One day later, Jiang Hao finished the script, and he felt quite satisfied. However, when he was in opera class, Jiang Hao still took out the script and asked his teacher to help him see if there were any problems with the plot design.
Professor Ed Bryant's standard is very high. After reading Jiang Hao's performance script, he pointed out several places where the connection was not very good, and gave suggestions for correction.
In the end, Professor Ed looked at Jiang Hao and said, "Jon, you did a great job with this. The stage effect should be very good, but there are still too few characters on stage. I think the stage effect will be better if it is increased to about 20 people." .”
"20 people, with so many people, I'm afraid the talent show won't provide it." Jiang Hao said with some embarrassment.
It's just a talent show, it's impossible to go to war for Jiang Hao, find professional actors to come over, plus rehearsals, it will cost too much to talent show crew definitely disagree.
"Funds and personnel are not easy to solve." Jiang Hao said.
"Then have you ever thought about organizing performers in the academy to go on stage with you?" the professor asked.
Jiang Hao was taken aback, "Organizing people by myself, rehearsals, clothing, food and lodging, and round-trip travel expenses all require a lot of money, professor, I don't have that much money."
Professor Ed smiled, "Jon, I still have a fund for college activities in my hand. If you make this performance as a college project, I can give you a certain amount of financial support and count credits for you." , if you succeed in advancing, I will give you full marks for this year's opera credits."
Jiang Hao's eyes widened, hey, are there any surprises?
"However, I would like to add this performance plan to my teaching achievement report this year. What do you think?" said the professor.
The professors also have work tasks, to promote students, to promote opera, to promote art, to put opera on the talent show, and to achieve some success, which can be used as the teaching achievement of this year.
Jiang Hao didn't lose anything. He got the support of funds and personnel. The professors enjoy the reputation of teaching achievements, and everyone gets what they need.
"Professor, I agree." Jiang Hao said with a smile.
After leaving the classroom, Jiang Hao called Mei Lin. "Merlin, my script for the show is ready, do you want to take a look at it?"
"Okay, where shall we meet?" Merlin said happily.
"How about going to my dorm?"
"Well~~, no problem."
