After Zhou Yanshi came back, he also met with Zhou Wan and Qingqing.
He couldn't say he liked Qingqing, but he didn't hate her either.
It's no different than treating other people's children.
His grandchildren are already adults, and it is not his turn to like their children.
His attitude towards Zhou Wan was also very indifferent. He didn't look down on her, but he didn't take her seriously either.
Zhou Xingjian played with Qingqing for a while and then went into Zhou Yanshi's study.
"Next March will be the peak showdown between foreign and domestic dramas. We have lost three times in a row." Zhou Yanshi said, "I am old. I am 90 years old this year. The excavation and promotion of traditional culture needs you to take the lead. Communicate more with Ning Zheng."
"Ning Zheng doesn't have to worry about it now. The research institute will be completed after the new year, and Jiang Tianji has helped him find a very talented young man. What I am most worried about now is you. If you don't have any achievements, you will be gone."
Zhou Yanshi said.
Zhou Xingjian shook his head: "You have also seen the situation in China. Traditional drama culture is either for gilding or for making money. How many people are truly passionate about and create content?"
"Given the general environment, I just want to retire peacefully. I have no confidence in promoting drama."
Among the five major opera genres, Peking Opera has developed the best so far and has already spread overseas.
But Peking Opera is the result of the Zhou family's continuous efforts, from Zhou Yanshi's youth when he started working hard to Zhou Xingzheng taking the lead. It took the efforts of three generations to get to where we are today.
But in the peak showdown, he still can't win!
Foreign dramas are so strong that last year's release of "Romeo and Juliet" and "Alice in Wonderland" left the five major drama genres helpless.
These two are phenomenal dramas, and they cannot be beaten in China.
"If you win, can you still hold the office for one term?" Zhou Yanshi asked.
Zhou Xingjian nodded: "If we win, we can definitely sit for another term. That's what the higher-ups mean."
Zhou Yanshi sighed: "We still need to find a way to make good content. This is a battle of reputation, but fortunately we still have two or three months to prepare, so it's still in time."
After Zhou Xingjian walked out of the study, his mood became bad.
Where can I find good plays?
After so many years, has there been any progress other than relying on past achievements?
He thought of the postman again. This young man had talent, but he wasted it on love. Thinking of this, he started to feel unhappy again, and sent a private message to the postman: "Are young people still obsessed with love? Are they dead? If not, get up and carry forward traditional culture!"
When Chen Xian saw it, his first reaction was that Zi Qi Dong Lai was a mentally retarded person.
"He's not dead yet. He's just about to dig up your family's ancestral grave." Shen Xian replied.
Zhou Xingjian was furious when he saw it.
My father will be turning 90 tomorrow. How dare you say such an unlucky thing?
"How come you, little comrade, don't have any spirit of cultural inheritance? Are you unhappy when I say a few words to you?" Zi Qi Dong Lai was angry, "Give me the address if you have the guts."
"You are so funny. Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Why don't you promote traditional culture instead of blackmailing me morally?" Chen Xian also sent several piles of feces emojis at the back, "Please eat shit!"
"Please eat shit!" Zi Qi Dong Lai replied.
"Big idiot!" Shen Xian replied.
"You are the big idiot!" Zi Qi Dong Lai replied.
"Do you believe that I can dig up your ancestral grave?" Shen Xian replied.
"If you get caught by me, I'll beat your dog brains out!" Zi Qi Dong Lai replied.
The two exchanged verbal attacks for more than a dozen sentences, and the situation became more and more intense in the end. They cursed everyone in the household registration book and finally the family tree.
Zhou Xingjian sat in the yard, his face flushed, and he slammed the table: "This is too much!"
The people busy in the yard looked sideways.
Zhou Wan came over with a frown on his face: "What happened?"
She had sharp eyes and saw at a glance that her father was arguing with someone, and the screen was full of poop expressions.
And there are those four words that keep repeating over and over again - eat shit.
Her almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened, full of disbelief.
In her impression, her father has always been a conservative, old-fashioned man who speaks as if measured with a ruler and is full of righteousness.
But now, they are arguing with each other, and both sides are asking the other to eat shit?
Is my own father also so different?
"It's okay!" Zhou Xingjian said. He didn't want to expose his small account of Zi Qi Dong Lai.
This small account is his weapon to criticize others. No one knows how many people he has criticized over the years.
Whenever he meets a talented young person, he will criticize them.
But now he has made up his mind and is going to scold the postman.
…
The next morning, the Kyoto Feilong Hotel was booked by the Zhou family. Red lanterns were hung inside and outside the hotel, creating a festive atmosphere.
Longfei Hotel is not only capable of hosting large banquets, but also has a dedicated theater with advanced equipment and stage.
Some of Kyoto's dignitaries like to hold banquets here.
Shen Xian and others arrived at the hotel early and started putting on makeup.
Baby Taozi was obviously nervous because it was her first time to perform on such a heavy stage.
In the past, the plays were either performed at the Nanzhou Theater or sent to the countryside.
Today's standard is the highest she has ever seen in her career.
Moreover, the troupe leader also said that today is a showdown with Peking Opera and Yue Opera, that is, a battle to restore the reputation of Huangmei Opera.
If you win, you can participate in the peak showdown in a few months and promote Huangmei Opera better.
If they lose, their youth drama troupe may have to disband.
So Baby Peach felt obvious pressure.
"Don't be nervous, keep calm." Shen Xian comforted her while putting on makeup.
His makeup was very heavy, and his eyeliner was exaggerated and thick. He looked like two different people compared to his original appearance, but he had a completely different kind of heroic aura.
"Yeah, okay." Baby Peach took a deep breath.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you really dare to come?" Just as he was speaking, a somewhat arrogant voice sounded.
The two turned their heads and saw Huang Qinian coming.
He was looking Taozi Baby and Shen Xian up and down.
"Tsk tsk tsk, these costumes are so shabby, if you don't know, you would think they are from a street performance troupe. Don't embarrass yourself." Huang Qinian said.
