Just one week after school started, one of Liu Lang's classmates came over. It was a female classmate named Daisy.
"Little Jimmy, our opera troupe is rehearsing an opera this semester called The Sound of Music. There are children's roles in it. You are a child, so I invite you to come and perform with our opera troupe.
Of course, this opera is very long and requires half a semester of rehearsal. I think that at the end of last semester, Professor Phelps asked you to participate in some extracurricular activities. You will not refuse my invitation!"
Professor Phelps really hopes that Liu Lang will participate in some extracurricular activities instead of just studying, but Professor Phelps also knows that there are not many extracurricular activities suitable for Liu Lang at Stanford University, maybe only singing and debating.
Only these two clubs will give Liu Lang the opportunity, so Professor Phelps has no hard requirements.
"Miss Daisy, there are seven children in The Sound of Music. Do you want me to play seven characters?"
Liu Lang asked.
The Sound of Music is a very classic song and dance film. The story takes place in Austria on the eve of World War II. The plot is very simple. The protagonist is a trainee nun named Maria. Because of her lively nature, she is sent to a nun in the convent to
A German colonel who lost his wife and seven children worked as a tutor in his family.
The colonel became eccentric because of the loss of his wife and was very strict with his seven children. However, everything changed after Maria came. She loved singing and dancing, which brought joy to this silent family and also interacted with the family.
A German officer developed a romantic love. Finally, driven by love and the yearning for peace, the officer's family took Maria and escaped from Austria occupied by Germany, and lived a happy life from then on.
Although the plot is very simple, there are many classic songs in this movie, such as "Doremi" and the most classic "Edelweiss", etc. Although Liu Lang did not watch this movie completely in his previous life,
But I know the storyline and these two songs.
Daisy thought Liu Lang didn't know this story, but now she was even more happy when she heard Liu Lang pointed out that seven children were needed.
"Jimmy, it's better now that you know this story. Of course we don't have seven children, so we changed it to just two children. Let Leslie play the other one. She might be able to play one with makeup.
A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old...although she has already been with her boyfriend
I live with my friend, but her figure is barely suitable... So in terms of body shape, only you are the most perfect, and your voice is original. Even the best singer cannot imitate a child's voice, so we sincerely
I hope you can join our opera troupe!”
I didn't hear anything else, but the "plastic sisterhood" friendship between Daisy and Leslie was clearly visible.
"opera………!"
Liu Lang thought for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, I agree!"
"Very good!"
Being able to invite Liu Lang to join one's club is an honor in itself. Regardless of the quality of this drama, just because Liu Lang joins it can attract many people to watch it.
"Jimmy, come on, follow me quickly and register with the troupe first. After registration is completed, you will be a member of our opera troupe!"
Daisy took Liu Lang's hand without saying anything, for fear that the other party would regret it.
Extracurricular club activities do not take up class time. They usually rehearse an hour after evening classes, usually from 5:30 to 6:30. Of course, Liu Lang usually studies at home during this time, but now Liu Lang
I feel like I need to make some changes. In this life, I have lost too much of the happiness I deserved in childhood. In my previous life, I never participated in extracurricular activities at university. It would be good for me to try it in this life.
And Liu Lang suddenly had an idea, isn't he planning to set up an entertainment company? Maybe this is an opportunity. Once the entertainment company is established, it will not only bring wealth, but also cover up his purpose of "stealing" technology and deceive him.
Purpose of CIA.
It has to be said that a top university like Stanford not only has strong academic standards, but also has a variety of extracurricular clubs. This is because Stanford University has many public activities every semester, such as freshman orientation parties, teachers and students
Friendship parties, Thanksgiving dances, Christmas party, New Year's party, etc., these are also performances within the school. If the performance is exciting, you can also participate in competitions between schools.
The competition between schools will not be as gentle as within the school. It represents the honor of one's own family. Just like when Liu Lang was at Huaxia University, there was a Capital College Association every year, and everyone put their best programs together.
Take it out, on the surface it is a performance, but in fact it is for
In order to show the superiority of his school, Liu Lang won the first place in the university with two songs in his freshman year. The two songs he released have now become household pop songs. Until now, students of Huaxia University often sing
When mentioned, other universities cannot hold their heads up.
This is true in China's atmosphere where peace is valued, not to mention a country like the United States that advocates ego and confrontation. This kind of competition is a war between universities.
There has been a long-standing rivalry between American universities, such as Harvard and Yale; Duke and North Carolina, and MIT and Caltech. They are almost rivals, and they compete no matter what.
Stanford University also has its old rivals, namely the University of Berkeley, which is in the same area. The two universities are not far apart, as well as the Polytechnic University. They have disliked each other since decades ago, and they have been fighting for decades and can't tell the difference.
There are almost no differences in subjects, and there is no difference in sports. In other aspects such as debating, singing and dancing, they are basically equally divided.
What this kind of competition between schools brings is that each club is not just amusing itself, their purpose is to represent the school in competition with other colleges and universities. This brings many benefits. First of all, it can bring good results to the alma mater.
Come to honors. Another point is that you can get excellent evaluations from teachers through honors, and then benefit at work. If you not only have a transcript when you graduate, but also a letter of recommendation from a teacher, then your chances will be better.
many.
Because of this, the Stanford University singing troupe is not as "shabby" as Liu Lang thought. There are more than thirty members. They are all carefully selected to join. They are by no means just random characters on campus.
There are members who can sing as well as professional singers, members who can play Bach arias accurately, professional ballet players who can spin 720 degrees in the air, and a small band that can be called professional. Liu Lang feels that if this group of people
It's enough to attend the Spring Festival Gala in China.
