Teacher Huang asked: "At the ceremony, are you sure you can produce the skit within a month? Don't be embarrassed to say it in front of the leaders. From writing the script to selecting the actors and then choreographing it, it is not an easy task."
Teacher Huang is right, this is indeed not an easy task.
Even a director like him with rich working experience finds it a bit difficult to start from scratch.
The director seems strict and demands that the finished product be seen within a month. In fact, he only has one standard, which is to be humorous.
Even so, one month is really too soon.
If it were another literary and artistic worker, it might not be possible.
But Cheng Guanli is really 100% sure.
He is a man from the future and has an encyclopedia in his head.
He is not considered an amateur when it comes to writing scripts. When the time comes, Mr. Huang will give guidance on the writing and directing work, so this will not be a problem.
The only difficult thing is finding qualified actors according to the script.
Cheng Guanli didn't expect that he would receive such a heavy task on his first day in Taili. He hadn't even started doing the chores yet, so he was rushing to direct and direct.
This is really thanks to Teacher Huang's support. I am really touched to see that he still cares so much.
He immediately replied: "Teacher, don't worry, I already have a general direction for the creation of the script. I will describe the various aspects of people's livelihood in the changing environment, interesting things close to life, plus some language baggage and some exaggerated logical misalignments.
Guaranteed to satisfy the leader.”
"Okay, don't do any stage work here today. Now go home and write the script. Once you've written it, show it to me. You can choose who will perform it."
"Okay, I listen to you, then I will go back."
When it comes to creating sketch scripts, Cheng Guanli does not need to copy those future masterpieces.
Because the artistic performance form of sketch is close to the life of the times, it can be said to be directly linked to an era.
If the time is too advanced, it is meaningless; if it is too old, it will be out of date. Just choose some interesting things that are happening now and process them.
Cheng Guanli thought for a while and took the current situation of reform as the background.
It is based on the premise that an educated young man A who jumped in line and came back could not find a job, and finally chose to open a small restaurant but made a lot of money.
The content is that a friend B of young man A asked him to borrow money for something.
Friend B is a bit selfish. At first he looked down on young man A who had no job. Now that young man A has made money, he also wants to open a restaurant, so he came here specifically to learn experience and borrow money.
The baggage is mainly reflected in Friend B’s playful smile, his big change in attitude, and Young Man A’s honest nature and ambivalence of being angry with his friends but unable to bear to ignore them.
Based on the contrast between the two people's personalities, it ends with Friend B borrowing money from an IOU, but he still has to help Young A's restaurant as a waiter for a month.
In the evening, the initial script was written.
To be honest, Cheng Guanli's script was not full of laughter from beginning to end. It was more about praising the current situation and describing the people's spiritual outlook.
Because this skit is specially performed for the leaders.
This is indeed the case. There is a high probability that this skit will be performed to a higher-level leader after it is performed to the station director. Therefore, the content must be rich and not just funny throughout.
When the Spring Festival Gala actually takes place, you can laugh freely from beginning to end.
As for the casting, Cheng Guanli already had an ideal goal in mind.
Of course it's Lao Mao'er and Chen Xiaoer.
But now Lao Maoer is filming "The Wrangler", which is still early to be released, and the movie "Look at This Family" starring Chen Xiaoer has just won the award at the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award.
For this skit, Cheng Guanli had to let these two perform. If he couldn't decide, he asked Teacher Huang to take part. Anyway, his script was based on their image.
After I finished writing the script, I looked up and saw that it was getting late.
People who work and go to school in the courtyard also come back one after another.
He was just about to go find Teacher Huang when he heard dense and heavy footsteps coming from outside.
It was Liu Lianlian from Xihu trotting over.
When he entered the room, he shouted, "Brother Guanli, I heard you found a good job. Where do you work?"
"Uh...who did you listen to?"
"I heard everything you talked to Uncle Dehai yesterday! To celebrate that you found a good job, how about treating you to dinner?"
"Oh, thank you very much. I appreciate it. But I have something to do and I can't go there tonight. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
"What's wrong? You could have dinner with others yesterday, but you can't go to my house for dinner today? Come on, follow me!"
The fat girl said this and came to hold Cheng Guanli's hand.
Cheng Guanli hurriedly passed by, feeling a little conflicted in his heart.
Why is this fat girl so domineering and pulling people in whenever she comes up? She still thinks I am the timid and silent Cheng Guanli?
"You should have a rest. Thank you. I really can't eat your food."
"Why?"
Liu Lianlian was so angry that she glared at Cheng Guanli with her arms akimbo, as if she wanted to swallow him whole.
Cheng Guanli frowned and said calmly: "Let me tell you the truth, my father did not agree with your father's intention to do things with my father when he was alive. After my father passed away, I disagreed even more. I remember that before jumping in line,
Once you blocked me at a dead end, I told you at that time that it was impossible to die, and not everyone had to follow you."
"Cheng Guanli, what are you talking about?"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't do it. You are not good at doing so! Don't look at you because you are fat. Ask Cheng Jianwu if I am now the thin student with weak hands."
"Hmph! Don't you just like that girl from yesterday? What does she have?"
Cheng Guanli glared and said, "I'm warning you, don't make trouble."
"Tch, why are you so pretentious? I'm not looking for you to take care of you, a parentless person..."
Liu Lianlian's voice became weaker and weaker, and she was already psychologically shocked by Cheng Guanli.
"Yes, I don't have parents, but Cheng Jianwu does. He doesn't have a partner yet. Go find him quickly. Don't just start recruiting people directly in the future!"
"Hmph! There will be times when you will regret looking for me!"
Liu Lianlian stomped away and cried when she got home, "Mom, Guanli'er didn't come to our house for dinner, and she even quarreled with me!"
"Hey, it's such a big deal. If he doesn't come, he won't come. Sooner or later, he will have to come."
"He told me not to make trouble with him, and even asked me to marry Cheng Jianwu!"
"That won't work. If I could have considered it a week ago, the Cheng family doesn't have any extra house in the backyard. Where can I live if I marry him? I can't live in our house. That would mean that Cheng Dehai has plotted the house, and he has to find it.
Watch the ceremony, please be gentle from now on and don’t cover yourself up."
While they were talking, Liu Tongzhou came back from get off work and scolded him when he walked in, "Keep your voice down, Dehai is off work. Be careful to be overheard. You have parents here and there every day, and you know how to talk."
Aunt Liu got angry when she heard this, "I'm not going to ask about these alleys. How can your three daughters marry so close? Isn't it for the sake of the children?"
"Okay, hurry up and cook, I'm hungry!"
Liu Tongzhou worked in the coal factory and just saw Cheng Dehai at the entrance of the alley, so he scolded his wife to speak softer.
They were quarreling, and Cheng Dehai passed by the door listlessly.
Jianwen and Jianwu followed behind, and all three of them were unhappy.
After arriving home, Cheng Dehai will go to Laoguantou's house to talk.
Mrs. Cheng was surprised and asked: "Dehai, what's wrong with you? Didn't you explain it clearly to the factory director?"
"Oh... don't mention it. The little girl who came yesterday exposed my deception. Fortunately, I was sincere in admitting my mistake, so I was not severely punished. However, I have been a model worker for several consecutive years, and I will definitely not be punished this year.
Well, the promotion of Jianwen and Jianwu has to be postponed. When I go to Uncle Guan’s house, I have to pave an escape route. I can’t lose the main house in the middle courtyard and the main house in the backyard." This chapter has been completed!
