back to innocence

When Cai Hua rushed into the crowd, a boy got excited and started running in the other direction.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then everyone let out a roar of laughter, and some boys who were more lively shouted loudly: "Tan Mimi, your father is coming to beat you! Run away!"

A bunch of schadenfreude.

The boy who ran away was called Tan Mi, nicknamed Mimi.Because during the quiz in the class meeting last semester, there was a brain teaser question "Who are Hua's parents? Who are Hua's children?", and the answer was "Wonderful pens make flowers, peanuts", As a result, Cai Hua became Tan Mi's cheap father from then on.

The two big boys immediately began to circle around the classroom, staged an offensive and defensive battle.Cai Hua teased: "My dear son, don't run away. I'll just hit him twice lightly to complete the next task."

Tan Mi laughed angrily: "Fuck off! Who is your son!? Who do you want to be the father!?"

Both of them were quite agile. Cai Hua moved faster and more sensitively, so he moved faster, while Tan Mi knew how to find stitches, but he still had the upper hand in crowded classrooms with desks, chairs and crowds.

Seeing the noise of the two chasing each other, Fei Yizhen was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and took a pen to circle behind their names.

Finally, the noise was stopped by the squad leader, and Fei Yizhen was finally able to continue casting roles.

One by one, he asked the students to come up to the stage to make expressions, and he didn't force them to let go. If they were suitable, they would tick off the list in the notebook.

"Next, number 23, Li Qingyu."

A girl said crisply: "I'm a girl, okay? Fei Yizhen, did you always think I was a boy?"

Suddenly there was another burst of laughter.

Fei Yizhen saw the girl who was talking, and reacted very quickly to untie himself, and said with a smile: "Probably because the name is so handsome, it involuntarily attracted my attention when it appeared in front of my eyes, and made me suddenly Just miss it."

The girl blushed with a smile and stopped talking.

He continued to shout until he had called out all the people on the list before stopping.

At this time, the bell for the end of extracurricular activities had already rang.Fei Yi really realized that he should make a long story short.He said, "I know that girls have relatively thin skins. We adopt a voluntary principle when it comes to girls. Of course, Sun Jing, and Zhang Mingyu, the cultural and entertainment committee member, you two can't escape. Are there any other girls?" Volunteering to participate in the performance? You can raise your hand."

Sun Jing is the squad leader.She just watched and teased Fei Yizhen and laughed happily, but she couldn't laugh anymore when she heard this decisive sentence, thinking that Fei Yizhen's retaliation was really decisive and quick.

The girls started whispering to each other, but few offered to take the stage.The boy suddenly became angry and shouted: "It's not fair! Why do girls have to be forced to go on stage if they can choose us!?"

Fei Yizhen said: "Because your skin is so thick that you can't even pierce a rocket launcher, what's wrong with being on stage? If anyone admits that he is not a man but a girl, I will not let you on stage."

The boys chattered away.

Then Zeng Jingke, a girl sitting at the table next to Fei Yizhen, stood up and said, "I'm quite interested in acting in short plays, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well. Why don't you count me in as Yizhen?"

Fei Yizhen said: "There is nothing to worry about, just treat it as a new attempt. Okay, count yourself in! Who else? We need several girls. It's not a difficult performance, but we need you to perform it Elf, the girl I met on the road or something."

So a few more girls took the initiative to sign up.

Fei Yizhen wrote down their names one by one.

Finally he said: "In the end, besides the actors, we also need some prop masters. Students who don't want to perform in front of the stage but have exquisite craftsmanship, it's your turn to contribute. We need a lot of interesting props, as well as backgrounds. Wait. Because we have limited funds, we have to handcraft a lot of things. Has anyone volunteered?"

This is much easier than choosing actors and the like.In all fairness, most people are more interested in performing short plays in the class, but because of emotions such as introversion or shyness, they dare not stand on the stage easily.

There are quite a few girls who volunteered in this part, and there are quite a few boys.Considering the amount and complexity of the manual work, Fei Yizhen basically refused all comers and put them on the list one by one.

By the time everything was done, it was already getting dark.Because of the joyful atmosphere, not many people found this time unbearable.Fei Yizhen also packed his things and left the school.

When Sun Jing found out, she found that Fei Yizhen had taken her notebook with her.

She anxiously carried her schoolbag and chased to the gate of the school, but found that there were few people in all directions, and there was no one direction where she could see Fei Yizhen's back, so she suddenly stamped her feet.

When Fei Yizhen returned home, he took the list in the class monitor's notebook and began to make a short play rehearsal plan and some preparations for the first meeting of the short play group.

Because he will be busy from this day to New Year's Day, he decided to temporarily suspend the update of "The World's No. [-] Restaurant" and spend more time on short play rehearsals and song practice.

He wrote down in his notebook one by one the things he needed for the meeting after class tomorrow: First of all, everyone should have a copy of the script, which he printed out with his newly bought printer.Then there is the cast list of the short play. He himself made a temporary version based on today's situation, and the specifics will be adjusted after everyone has read the script, based on personal opinions and actual performance conditions.

The auditorium of the school is relatively old, except for the basic stage lighting, there are no projections or large background screens, so Fei Yizhen must first prepare a background board of suitable size, and then use large coloring pages or hand-painted ways to make a few background board.

He immediately thought of Ye Minghe.He knew that Ye Minghe's family was struggling financially, so he might be willing to help paint a few backgrounds for a fee.

In addition, props also need to be crafted.Clothes can be rented, cardboard boxes, huts, etc. are best made by yourself-you can make them out of cardboard.

Fei Yizhen wrote down what came to mind one by one.

Then he accidentally turned his elbow to the notebook that recorded the student list, and found a rough pencil drawing on one page.

It wasn't even a pencil sketch, because the characters were distorted and deformed, and the facial features didn't conform to the anatomy of the human body. It could barely be seen that the drawing was a boy with short hair.It can be seen that the painter has tried hard to paint it well, but in the end he was unable to do so.

Fei Yizhen couldn't help but flipped through it a few times, and found several similar portraits in front, either still or moving, with rough brushwork, but one could see the artist's intentions.

Only then did he realize that he had peeped into the monitor's secret, so he quickly turned it over, pretending he didn't see anything, and scratched on his notebook with the tip of his pen.

I said silently in my heart: I didn't do it on purpose.

When he arrived at school the next morning, Fei Yizhen saw the class monitor walking in front of him with red rabbit eyes.

He took out the notebook and hurriedly returned it to the other party.

Sun Jing asked, "Did you see it?"

Fei Yizhen said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

But Sun Jing snatched the notebook and turned to leave, letting her long ponytail swing sharply.Fei Yi was really stunned for a moment, and then he was very annoyed.

He couldn't help but wonder if Sun Jing was crying in anger.

Fei Yizhen stroked the pen tip on the paper for a while, then paused.

He looked around at all the students in the classroom, and couldn't help thinking, which one was the child drawn in the monitor's notebook.It's a pity that the people in those paintings are too abstract, and Fei Yizhen can't tell the difference at all.

After a long while, he took out a piece of white paper and began to paint and draw on it.

After class, he walked to the monitor's desk and handed her a piece of paper.

The squad leader froze for a moment, then took the blank paper in his hand.

Above is a girl in a skirt with a long ponytail.The moment Sun Jing saw her, she realized that the person above was herself.

It's completely different from my own ugly picture.

Sun Jing's face flushed red.

She said angrily, "I know you draw well. Am I ugly? It doesn't matter if you can laugh out loud."

Fei Yizhen said, "That's not what I meant—"

But I saw the girl turned her head away.

He knew maybe the girl's eyes were red again.

Fei Yizhen said: "I just want to say sorry. I didn't mean to peek at your notebook, I feel sorry."

Sun Jing turned her head, looked at him standing there, bent down and bowed to herself, with a serious and serious expression, and was suddenly at a loss.After a while, she bit her lip and said, "It's okay." She raised her head, seemed to have tried to adjust her emotions, and then smiled, and said to Fei Yizhen, "I was too aggressive. Thank you for your painting, painting It's beautiful."

Because of background issues, Fei Yizhen and the class monitor followed the teacher to see the school's stage.

Then Fei Yizhen suddenly discovered a problem.The school's stage is an old-fashioned stage, with a wide middle and narrow sides covered by a curtain.If you use a background board, unless you only use one background board from the beginning to the end, it will be inconvenient to replace, and you need to draw the curtain-after all, the school's New Year's Day party is not a special stage for drama, and it is unlikely to pull a few for a program. second curtain.

He told Sun Jing about the problem he was thinking about, and Sun Jing also discovered the problem. After discussing for a while, the two finally came up with a more effective and interesting idea.

After discussion, they concluded that the background board can be made into a pop-up book form that can be flipped, so that when changing the scene, students can play as elves and run to push the pages of the book to change the background board.

The more they discussed, the more they felt that this idea was brilliant and interesting. In the end, Fei Yizhen went to the nearby teacher's office to borrow a tape measure, and the two began to measure and record the size of the stage to facilitate the production of background books later.

In this way, the purchase of large cardboard or even thin wood board should be included in the purchase list.Fei Yizhen soon realized that the class fee might not be enough to cover the entire cost of this skit.However, he didn't bother with this matter much and just turned the page.This is his first time as a director. He thought that no matter what, he must direct the show well. At worst, he will post it inward. This will not happen until the money in his bank card is exhausted. question.

Fei Yizhen has always been very liberal with money.To put it nicely is called generosity, and to put it bluntly is to be extravagant, without planning, and being raised by parents without the concept of money.

After recording the stage data, Fei Yizhen jumped off the stage, then stretched out his hand to help the class leader down, and the two returned to the class.

During the lunch break, Fei Yizhen distributed the script to each actor.The father and son were directly let Cai Hua and Tan Mi play the role.Tan Mi was dissatisfied for a while, it was like stabbing his wound with a knife.

However, after watching the plot of the whole story, he found that the plot of the story was indeed very interesting, so he was finally convinced by the ideological work of Fei Yizhen and Sun Jing in turn.

As for the remaining supporting roles, after everyone repeatedly expressed their opinions in turn, they finally got harmony in various ways.

Fei Yizhen originally wanted Sun Jing to play the Rubik's Cube Elf, but a girl liked the role very much, so Sun Jing happily backed down.The final result is that Sun Jing only plays a girl who is like a passerby.

The task of purchasing things was also assigned to everyone in the props group, and they were all in groups of two.Fei Yizhen divided multiple purchase lists according to the purchase location, and let those who have time to purchase separately.

The short play group quickly got caught up in all sorts of busy schedules.The props group is busy making all kinds of portable small props, striving to put them into use as soon as possible.White paper and thick cardboard have also been bought. The students have almost never done carpentry, and they don’t know how to make wooden books, and the solid wood is too heavy. Finally, the prop team decided to use thick cardboard to make the three-dimensional background book.

After getting the script, Cai Hua and Tan Mi will recite it as quickly as possible.The two big boys had never worked so hard in Chinese textbooks.However, Fei Yizhen didn't need to wait until they had memorized them all before starting rehearsal.

After the two had recited the first act thoroughly, he began the rehearsal.

Fei Yizhen said: "The chase scene should be divided into three parts. In my vision, you don't need to run really fast here. On the contrary, you can slow down, but pay attention to the rhythm. Here I will compile a paragraph A dance. A dance from extreme motion to extreme stillness, and from extreme stillness to extreme motion."

"Dancing!?" The two boys asked in unison, and then Tan Mi said, "Aren't you?"

Fei Yizhen said, "It's not that difficult dance."

He walked into an open position, then began to spread his legs slightly, shoulder-width apart, then slightly bent, in a horse stance, and then suddenly moved laterally in a rapid and even rhythm.

It's an extremely ordinary movement that can be done by ordinary people, but it really made him step on the rhythm of a street dance.

Fei Yizhen said: "At that time, there will be a prop box among you. You have to go around that prop box, use this posture to step out the rhythm, one to the left and the other to the right, and then change directions at the same time and do it again , Repeat three times, pretending to be chasing each other, one chasing and the other running away."

Cai Hua imagined the scene for a while, and immediately became excited, saying, "Cool!"

Fei Yizhen smiled slightly and said, "Then..."

Fei Yizhen suddenly stepped out with a louder "bang" than before.
