“Alright.” Teacher Fang nodded. “Actually, I’ve always had a wish. I wanted to be able to perform Pu Yi’s role once. I did not think that I would manage to fulfill my dream this time.”
She sought out Teacher Fang also because Teacher Fang’s performance leaned more towards the traditional arts, making it very suited for the requirements of this script.
“How about this? Let’s go and find Teacher Wan from the directing major.” Teacher Fang wanted to do things the instant he thought about it, and he directly led Lu Man out of the office, telling her on the way, “It’s better to find a directing teacher to help to arrange the show. The difference in one’s own unique points, the differences between stage performances and movies, and the need to rearrange the script a bit, we’ll need a directing teacher to help with them all.”
“Teacher Wan is very low-key, and very few people in the school know that Teacher Wan had directed quite a lot of good shows. It is just that they are all for small audiences and are not as attractive to the audiences of the big commercial films. At the same time, he’s also a director in the Sesame Theater. The Chinese Arts Championships’ performance style is closer to that of stage plays, so for this, it’s the most suitable to find Teacher Wan.”
Lu Man was very thankful that she had come to find Teacher Fang. Otherwise, she would not have been able to think of such details.
Teacher Fang brought Lu Man to Teacher Wan’s office.
Teacher Wan hesitated upon hearing why they were there. “That’s not very good, right? We have a total of three students from our school who’ve advanced to the finals. As teachers, it’s no good for us to be biased and help a single person.”
“Stop it, the other two already went to find celebrities for help, they have no need for us at all,” Teacher Fang said. “If they need our help and they come to find us, we would definitely not reject them. But they did not come to find us, Lu Man did. Could it be that you do not want to help Lu Man? What is fair, what is biased? If you don’t help Lu Man because the others didn’t seek you out, that’s called being biased.”
“If the three people all came to find us for help but we only helped one of them, that is being biased. But right now, it’s obvious that they do not need us, and our other student Lu Man needs our help as her teachers. If we don’t help her, can we still be considered teachers?” Teacher Fang did not want to let Teacher Wan reject the invitation. “Anyway, I don’t care, I’ve already brought Lu Man over, you must help her.”
“Hey, you’re being unreasonable,” Teacher Wan said helplessly.
“You’re the unreasonable one! Not wanting to help your student, aren’t you embarrassed?” Teacher Fang directly started to become worked up.
“I didn’t say I won’t be helping! Look at your short temper.” Teacher Wan shook his head. “I just said a couple of sentences more. I’ll help, I’ll help, I’ll help you!”
“If you were also direct just now, wouldn’t it have been easier? You just had to make me anxious and worried.” Teacher Fang even started to grumble at him.
Teacher Wan was really scared of Teacher Fang’s temper and hurriedly pleaded for mercy from him. “It’s my fault, it’s my fault, please be magnanimous, forgive me this once.”
“Alright,” Teacher Fang said. “As for a practice room, I’ll provide one. You don’t have lessons later, right? If you don’t have lessons, let’s start to arrange matters first.”
“Fine. You’re the big boss, so we’ll just follow what you say.” Teacher Wan was helpless.
This Teacher Fang, how was he asking people for help? He was practically being bossy!
The three of them went into the practice room and started to look through the script.
Teacher Wan said, “Lu Man, you only came to find Teacher Fang?”
“Yes. Even though at the start of the show, there are a lot of people, those with actual lines in the script are only Pu Yi and Wan Rong. There are too many people at the banquet, I’m scared that it’ll be hard to arrange,” Lu Man explained.
