Ouyang Yuqian wrote letters to both the Morning Post and Luxun in Peking, hoping to meet the author of "Thunderstorm".

These letters were eventually passed on to Feng Chengcheng.

As a young female student and a drama lover, she has heard of Ouyang Yuqian's name.

This is a representative figure who introduced drama to China and is one of the first actors to perform dramas.

So, she wrote a reply to Ouyang Yuqian, while expressing her respect, and also explained the difficulties of the author of "Thunderstorm".

Ouyang Yuqian was born into an official family and understood the difficulties of the big family.

From the detailed description of the drama "Thunderstorm", we can see that the author's origin is either an official family or a merchant family.

However, he did not give up, but left Nantong and headed for Beiping.

His work in Nantong was not going well. Although he opened the Nantong Artist Society and built a new theatre, he could take students to perform experimental performances, but it was far from his ideal.

He wanted to reform the drama and add new elements, but was strongly opposed by local conservative forces, which led to the performance not being able to proceed normally.

This made Ouyang Yuqian realize that to achieve his idea, there must be an open and free creative environment. The small town of Nantong is too closed and conservative.

In China, only a few big cities such as Peking and Shanghai meet the requirements, and there are also audiences who can accept novel art forms.

He was hesitating and did not want to give up his efforts over the past few years, but when he saw the script of "Thunderstorm", he knew that he had to make a decision.

In this era of great change, what China does not lack the least is idealists.

In Peiping, he met Feng Chengcheng.

Ouyang Yuqian used his own experience and rich professional knowledge to convince Feng Chengcheng that he wanted to join the female student and become a drama actor.

He is selfish.

It is obvious that Feng Chengcheng and the author of "Thunderstorm" are not simple. As long as Feng Chengcheng becomes a drama actor, will he still lack good drama scripts in the future?

He formed Chunliu Club in Japan, and after returning to China, he participated in countless dramas and finally became a teacher and taught opera performance. His acting experience for more than ten years has countless good stories to tell.

Girls like to listen to gossip and leaks the most, and Feng Chengcheng is no exception.

Ouyang Yuqian's story is the history of the development and spread of dramas in China, and she was fortunate to hear the most real insider news.

In return, she brought Ouyang Yuqian to Shanghai and introduced him to Lin Zixuan.

Lin Zixuan respects this senior in the drama industry, but he will not participate in it. One is the relationship between family, and the other is that dramas in this era advocate "non-business purpose".

What does it mean?

It means that everyone performs dramas not for money, but for spreading ideas.

In the spring of 1921, the People's Drama Society was established in Shanghai. The initiator was Wang Youyou, and the main members were Shen Yanbing, Zheng Zhenduo, Chen Dabei, Xiong Foxi and others.

The drama club aims to "promote new dramas that promote artistic styles" as its purpose.

In May of the same year, China's earliest drama magazine "Drama", was founded. This publication has very little circulation and is considered an internal publication of the People's Drama Club.

They believe that the era of watching plays as a pastime has passed.

Their responsibilities have twofold: one is to transform dramas, and the other is to transform society.

It also advocates the concept of "people's drama", criticizes the disadvantages of old dramas and civilized dramas, changes the tendency of commercialization and vulgarization of civilized dramas, and improves the artistic quality and educational role of dramas.

According to Lin Zixuan's understanding, these people believe that as long as it is not for money, but for ideals, they can do a good job of drama.

This reminded him of later debates about art films and commercial films in the film industry. Those directors who made art films are probably idealists.

Of course, this understanding is a bit one-sided, but this is the reality.

Those who participate in the drama club are all drama lovers. They come from schools, newspapers, banks and other industries, and they are passionate and want to do something big.

At first, everything might be beautiful. Everyone has money to contribute money and strength to work, but over time, this kind of work that does not make money and voluntary labor becomes a burden to life and is difficult to maintain.

Economic constraints have caused drama quality to decline and talent loss, and they can only be disbanded and go their separate ways.

As it turns out, these people went to the movie industry later because they could make money by making movies.

They finally transformed from idealism to realism.

Even though he was not optimistic about the development prospects of the drama industry, Lin Zixuan did not pour cold water on it, but instead declined Ouyang Yuqian's invitation.

He has no time to participate in the drama, but he can let Ouyang Yuqian rehearse "Thunderstorm". In the future, good scripts will be provided to Ouyang Yuqian, which makes Ouyang Yuqian satisfied and leave.

Lin Zixuan saw that Feng Chengcheng had a trend of advancing the drama industry, but did not stop him.

Who doesn’t have some small ideals when he was young? As long as Feng Jingyao doesn’t object?

Ouyang Yuqian promised to let Feng Chengcheng play the role of Lu Sifeng in "Thunderstorm", and he is also considered a heroine.

However, the most outstanding female character in "Thunderstorm" is Fan Yi.

She dares to love and hate, has her own ideas, and dares to make her own decisions. Even after becoming a victim of feudal marriage, she still dares to break through the feudal norms and pursues her love boldly.

However, the character of this character is too complicated and Feng Chengcheng's experience is simply not good at all.

She just needs to be responsible for her simple and kind side.

One day in early July, Lin Zixuan accompanied Feng Chengcheng to Shanghai Hujiang University for an interview.

Hujiang University is located on the bank of the Huangpu River and has a large campus area.

It has 30 school buildings of all sizes, 19 stadiums of various types, one swimming pool, a library, gym, etc. It is a huge and well-equipped university.

This is just a formality, and the relationships behind it have been opened up. It is not unreasonable for foreigners, not to mention that Feng Chengcheng's high school graduation grades are good.

This university, like American universities, implements a points system and the entry threshold is not high. As long as you get enough points when you graduate.

As a Christian university, there are naturally churches and bell towers.

After the interview, the two walked calmly on campus and finally came to the church, looking at the statue of Jesus crucified in front of them.

The atmosphere here is quiet, solemn and solemn.

They looked at each other and everything was silent.

Feng Chengcheng chose to go to college in Shanghai, which demonstrated his attitude. The next step depends on the arrangements of his elders.

Those love poems must have played a role.

Lin Zixuan was slightly proud in his heart. Love poems were indeed a big killer against literary and artistic young women.

The two walked out of the church side by side without holding hands.
