More than 20 teachers from the Royal Academy of Art lined up on stage to shake hands with Zhou Hexuan, and each one of them behaved extremely respectfully.
Most of the hundreds of students in the audience were confused. They only thought Zhou Hexuan's speech was very profound. Few people realized that what they just listened to was a sensational academic achievement in the entire drama research community.
.
how to say?
Just like the reinterpretation of "Dream of Red Mansions" in China and the creation of a new direction for "Red Studies" research, it would be strange if the experts don't go crazy because of this!
The teachers clapped their hands to see Zhou Hexuan off with respectful expressions. Vivian leaned over curiously and asked her drama teacher Jason: "Professor, was Mr. Zhou's speech wonderful just now? I didn't understand some parts."
Professor Jensen said with admiration: "It is not only wonderful, it is simply amazing. There is no doubt that Mr. Zhou is one of the greatest researchers of Shakespeare's drama today. His research concepts are groundbreaking and an unprecedented academic discovery."
Shakespeare's influence around the world has gone far beyond the scope of a dramatist. He represents the highest artistic achievement of Britain's most glorious era. As Britain becomes an empire on which the sun never sets, Shakespeare's plays symbolize the height of civilization and belong to an indescribable empire.
A transcendent artistic monument.
Because of this, when Western learning spread eastward in the late Qing Dynasty, Shakespeare's plays were also introduced to China as advanced literature and art.
Yan Fu translated Shakespeare into "Niaosi Pier", but only briefly mentioned a few sentences. Liang Qichao officially named it "Shakespeare", but unfortunately it still did not attract widespread attention. After the New Culture Movement, Tian Han translated a series of Shakespeare's works,
It is only popular among progressive intellectuals.
As a result, Chinese translators feel ashamed. It is so shameful that Chinese people do not know how to appreciate Shakespeare, a great writer!
In recent years, Chinese translators and drama critics have been translating and studying Shakespeare almost with the mentality of saving the country. It seems that as long as the Chinese people accept and worship Shakespeare, China can escape from barbarism and evolve into a civilized era.
Not only China, but also the United States is not much better. Shakespeare is already regarded as the god of literature and drama.
Even if Zhou Hexuan has no other achievements, as long as he wears the hat of "Shakespeare Research Expert", he can travel around the world.
Two girls, Vivian and Danni, wanted to get in touch with the literary world, but they had no chance at all. Zhou Hexuan had been surrounded by teachers and students of the school. The principal of the Royal Academy of Arts personally acted as a bodyguard to clear the way for Zhou Hexuan, and finally he was
He invited him to the conference room for academic exchanges.
The entire Royal Academy of Arts announced a one-day suspension, and all professors and lecturers gathered together to ask Zhou Hexuan for new ideas in studying Shakespeare's plays.
As long as the results of this study of Shakespeare's plays are published, they will become famous all over the world, and the Royal Academy of Arts will also benefit from it. At the same time, the school's teachers will become experts in Shakespeare studies.
Vivian witnessed all this and said to herself: "It's so crazy. The whole school is surrounding Mr. Zhou."
Danni admired her so much that she held her heart with both hands and said: "This is my ideal prince charming. He is young, handsome, wise and talented... God, I must go back to Asia with him. I want to be his wife. That's right."
Just one of the wives will do!”
"Are you crazy too?" Vivian said amusedly.
Danni stood downstairs, pointed to the conference room on the second floor and said, "I will wait here for Mr. Zhou to come down. I will keep standing here until I meet him!"
Vivian shrugged: "It's almost noon, do you need me to bring you something to eat?"
"Of course, I want soft bread," said Dany.
"Then just wait. I'm going to have lunch." Although Vivian also wanted to listen to Master Zhou's teachings, she still had sense and could not be as crazy as Dani acted.
Until Vivian came back with bread after lunch, Dani was still waiting patiently downstairs, and Vivian could only wait with her.
Finally, it was almost evening, and the two girls saw Zhou Hexuan appearing surrounded by teachers. But before they had time to come forward to talk, they saw Zhou Hexuan going to dinner with the teachers, and discussing drama research issues as they walked.
Vivian said helplessly: "Let's go, Danny, you have no hope."
Dani said resolutely: "No, I must try. This is a good opportunity that cannot be missed. As long as I get to know Mr. Zhou, I will be able to become famous in the British theater circle. Whether I star in a play or make a movie, I will be able to get
A great convenience.”
During the Great Depression, landlords had no surplus food!
Danni comes from a family of small businessmen, but the family business is on the verge of bankruptcy. If she doesn't use extraordinary means, she will have to struggle for many years to get ahead slowly. But once she hooks up with a great writer like Zhou Hexuan, her future will be bright in an instant.
The two girls became followers, waiting outside the restaurant until dark, and finally saw Zhou Hexuan saying goodbye to the teachers.
Taxis in the UK have basically stopped operating due to the economic crisis, so Zhou Hexuan could only walk to the station and take the tram back to the hotel.
Danni quickly caught up and shouted: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou!"
Since the streetlights were dim, Zhou Hexuan only saw the silhouettes of two women running towards him. He smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"
Danni gasped and said: "Mr. Zhou, I am Danni Munster, a student at the Royal College of Art. I was very shocked after listening to your drama lecture today, and I hope to continue to listen to your teachings."
"Well, it's very late today." Zhou Hexuan declined politely.
Dani persisted and said: "Why don't we go to the cafe for a drink? I'll treat you."
Zhou Hexuan said: "Let's do it another day."
"Please, Mr. Zhou, just have a cup of coffee." Danni stepped forward and took Zhou Hexuan's arm. Sun Yongzhen, who was in charge of security affairs, did not stop him. He believed that his husband's affair should not be disturbed.
Well, this bodyguard is extremely irresponsible!
Zhou Hexuan felt a little headache and could only agree: "Okay then."
Danni turned back and winked at Vivian, waving and saying, "Mary, see you tomorrow!"
Although Vivian also wanted to follow her, she didn't want to ruin her best friend's good deeds, so she could only smile and say: "Goodbye."
Zhou Hexuan didn't want to be eaten by the female goblin, so he quickly found a light bulb and said to Vivian: "This classmate should go too."
Vivian and Danni looked at each other, and Danni smiled generously and said, "Mary, let's go."
The three of them walked to a nearby cafe. It wasn't until the lights turned on that Zhou Hexuan could see Vivian's face clearly, and he was so amazed that he was almost blinded.
The oval face with a slightly tapering chin, the facial features are as delicate as if they were carved out, and the skin is smooth and delicate. Especially those gray-blue eyes, which are soft and yet have a hint of wildness and cunning. She is simply a natural beauty.
Zhou Hexuan sat down calmly, ordered coffee and tentatively said, "I don't know the name of this young lady yet."
"Vivian," Vivian replied, "Vivian Marie Hartley."
Zhou Hexuan thought to himself: The names matched, it turned out to be her, Vivien Leigh!
"Vivian" is "Vivien", but the translation is different. The modern translation of "Vivien Leigh" should be called "Vivian Leigh". This translation method was popular during the Republic of China, and people liked to add a Chinese surname to foreigners.
.
Throughout the 20th century in the Western world, there were two indistinguishable beauties, one was Vivien Leigh and the other was Audrey Hepburn.
"Gone with the Wind", "The Blue Bridge", "Anna Karenina"... Zhou Hexuan has watched too many of Vivien Leigh's classic films, so he can recognize them at a glance.
Danni soon discovered that something was wrong. It was obviously she who invited Zhou Hexuan to come over for coffee, but Zhou Hexuan's attention was all on his best friend. The couple chatted happily, and Zhou Hexuan's witty words made Vivien Leigh laugh from time to time. Danni
It has been completely reduced to a foil.
Fireproof, anti-theft and anti-bestie!
Seeing the time passing by, Dani wanted to interrupt many times, but it could only be used as a way to add to the conversation. She was so anxious that she almost cried.
Zhou Hexuan was having a headache about choosing a dance partner. Now he suddenly had an idea and sent out an invitation: "Mary, I will attend Prince Albert's ball tomorrow. Can you be my dance partner?"
"Prince's Ball!"
Vivien Leigh and Danni screamed in surprise at the same time. The ball of the royal family was too far away for them, and they had never even thought about it before.
Vivien Leigh is like Cinderella who received the invitation. She nodded without thinking: "I do!"
"Mary!" Dani glared at her best friend, thinking that Vivien Leigh had robbed her of the ball.
Vivien Leigh was taken aback, and then couldn't make a choice. She felt as if she had betrayed her friend, and was worried that she really didn't want to give up this opportunity.
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said nothing, drinking coffee and waiting for Vivien Leigh's decision.
Vivien Leigh quietly lowered her head and remained silent. In fact, she had revealed her feelings, but she was too embarrassed to talk to her best friend again.
"Humph, I hate you so much!" Dani's voice trembled with anger, she stood up suddenly and ran out of the door.
Vivien Leigh quickly got up and chased her. When she reached the door, she turned back and shouted: "Mr. Zhou, I'll wait for you at school tomorrow!"
Zhou Hexuan asked the waiter to pay the bill with a smile on his face. He already had some understanding of Vivien Leigh's character. She was a somewhat cautious woman.
