Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 286 Chapter 283. A very impressive guest role
Quickly scanning the task list, Kyushu Cheng realized that he was right to lend a helping hand this time.

The work assigned to the Art Department by the Executive Committee is arranged for five people. After all, the number of registered members of the Art Department is currently five. Naturally, this should be used as a standard to assign as many tasks to them as possible.

"There's too much work for you, it's completely stuck at the critical point." Jiuzhou Cheng put down the list and complained: "If you don't ask for my help, it's hard to say whether you can complete it, right?"

"Haha, it can definitely be done, but it will be very hard and very busy~" The director of the art department forced a smile and told the truth:

"But the student union also approved a club fund for us, which is regarded as payment for our hard work. Originally, the four of us planned to use the money to go out to eat and watch movies together after we were done. If Kyushu students want to come together, If you help, we will share part of the funds with you.”

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey. You guys can arrange tasks for me." Kyushu Cheng nodded: "As long as it's not a working day, I will try my best to stay for a few hours after school to help you complete the tasks together."

"Thank you very much!" The director of the art department bowed gratefully.

Five minutes later, the head of the art department compiled a task list for Kyushu Cheng.

For high school students with some art skills, these tasks will probably take at least thirty to forty hours to complete. In other words, I have to stay in school and work for about two hours almost every day.

But Kyushu Cheng's paper-cutting skills are much better than those of ordinary high school students, and these tasks can be completed in only fifteen hours.

"I have to go to my part-time job today. If I have time, I will come to help tomorrow." Kyushu Cheng said, preparing to leave the art department classroom first.

He planned to go to the Yugami Detective Agency first to see if there would be any commissions in the next period of time. In addition, several places where he had worked during the summer hoped that he could continue to work part-time. Jiuzhou Cheng also planned to negotiate with each company on salary and then choose the most suitable one for part-time work.

"Jingle Bell--!"

Just when Kyushu Cheng stepped out of the classroom, his cell phone rang.

"Is he a classmate of the kendo club?" Kyushu Cheng recognized the caller as the director of the kendo club who had gone to Fukuoka to compete with him before.

[Jiuzhou classmate, are you still in school? ] The kendo director got straight to the point, with a hint of request in his tone: [Our kendo club wants to discuss something with you. Are you willing to come? 】

"Just in time, I'm still at school." Kyushu Cheng replied: "Come over now?"

[No problem, we are waiting for students from Kyushu to arrive! 】

Kyushu Makoto changed his route and decided to go to the kendo club's activity hall first.

Pushing open the gym door, Kyushu Cheng saw that the members of the kendo club were not training, but gathering together to discuss something.

A sickly man who looked to be in his twenties was also sitting next to him, shivering with a glass of warm water in his hands.

"Kyushu-senpai is here!" The first one to notice was Motaro. He ran over and led Kyushu Makoto through the door.

The other members also greeted him in unison and motioned for Kyushu Makoto to sit with them.

"Hello, are you Kyushu-san?" The sickly man stretched out his hand and greeted him proactively: "I am Harumasa Zaihara, the club teacher of the Kendo Club. I heard everyone say that thanks to your activeness in Fukuoka , so that everyone can come back safely.”

"Hello, Teacher Zaihara." Kyushu Cheng heard the members of the Kendo Club mention this person, and also knew that he did not accompany the members to the competition because he was sick: "Nice to meet you."

"Ahem. When we met today, I feel that you are indeed a great person, Kyushu-san. Please allow me to express my gratitude to you. These children have been taken care of by you." Zaihara Haruzheng smiled palely, and then Looking at the members:

"Everyone has something to discuss with you today, and it's about the cultural festival. Just let them explain the specific situation."

Having said that, Harumasa took a step back and let the young people communicate among themselves.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Kyushu Cheng felt a flash of loneliness in Harumasa Hara's eyes. But before he had time to think too much, he was called out by the Kendo members:
"Kyushu-san, we are going to perform a stage play at this cultural festival. We would like to invite you to make a guest appearance!" "Guest appearance in a stage play?" Kyushu Cheng was stunned for a moment, not understanding it at all.

Everyone in the Kendo Club quickly explained the situation to Kyushu Makoto.

On the day of Xiujin Academy’s cultural festival, in addition to the school’s staff, many people from outside the school were invited to attend, including journalists and practitioners involved in the education field, as well as parents who wanted to send their children to Xiujin Academy.

Since the Kendo Club won the Jade Dragon Flag in this year's competition and became the leader of the entire school, the school hopes that they will organize a club program at this year's cultural festival to show the style of the Kendo Club to the outside world and also do a good job for the school. publicity.

The school’s suggestion is to have the kendo club organize some activities such as “kendo exhibition matches” and “kendo experience classes” on the day of the cultural festival.

This is undoubtedly the most conservative proposal. However, kendo itself is already an unpopular and niche sport, and it is difficult for such a rigid activity to attract the interest of many people.

So the students in the kendo club discussed it and decided to create a "kendo stage play", which is to integrate kendo and stage play, that is, to add a lot of kendo fighting scenes to the stage play.

As long as the script and story are interesting enough, even people who don't care about kendo may be attracted to it; and people who like kendo themselves can naturally enjoy professional kendo performances from the stage play, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

The school also thought this plan was great, so they agreed, and everyone began to discuss the script again.

In the end, everyone decided to learn from the famous Chinese novel "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" about "Guan Yun surpassed five levels and killed six generals" and wrote a draft script about "The great swordsman passed two levels and killed three generals".

The story tells that during the Heian period, there were two famous swordsmen in Ashina Kingdom. One is Kanjiro who was born as a commoner, and the other is Kazuo Hachijo who was born as a noble.

On a whim one day, the leader of the Weiming Kingdom decided to let two swordsmen compete in front of the palace. The winner would be the "No. 1 Swordsman of the Weiming Kingdom" and would be conferred the title of General of the Kingdom by the king.

The two swordsmen happily accepted the invitation and agreed to come to the imperial city to compete on a certain day.

However, Hachijo Kazuo was very scared in his heart. His fame was promoted by his family's power. In fact, his swordsmanship was far inferior to Kanjiro.

Since Kanjiro lived in a remote countryside, he had to cross two city gates to reach the imperial city, which took about three days. So Hachijo Kazuo had a crooked idea and wanted to rob and kill Kanjiro on his way to the imperial city, so that he would be victorious.

So Hachijo Kazuo hired three bandits and asked them to ambush Kanjiro on the road he must pass and attack him.

However, Kanjiro finally defeated the three thieves with his superb swordsmanship, came to the imperial city to win the contest as promised, and exposed Hachijo Kazuo's conspiracy in public.

At the end of the story, everyone is happy. Kanjiro becomes the best swordsman of Ashina Kingdom, while Hachijo Kazuo is sentenced to exile by the Lord of the Country.

"Well, the script is not bad." After listening to the entire script, Kyushu Cheng nodded approvingly.

Although it is a clichéd story, the plot is twisty and interesting enough, and the ending is smooth. Overall, it's a very enjoyable story, and I can't find any major faults with it.

Moreover, the main attraction of this "kendo stage play" is to combine kendo performance with drama. To put it bluntly, it is a kendo exhibition match with a storyline, and the script is not that important.

Immediately, Kyushu Cheng asked again: "It's okay for you to invite me to guest star, but which role should I play?"

When it comes to "guest appearances", it refers to inviting well-known big names to participate in friendly performances, most of them playing supporting roles with few roles, so the audience will have a sense of surprise that "this adult will also appear in this drama!" . Many movies and TV series invite popular celebrities to guest star as a publicity stunt.

The Kendo Club invited Kyushu Makoto to make a "guest appearance", which was actually a compliment to him and regarded him as a big shot.

"Actually, we have been discussing this issue for a long time. Kyushu-san is the benefactor of our Kendo Club. Since you are invited to make a guest appearance, you must show your sincerity." The Kendo Minister held his chin and put on a witty smile:

"So we specially revised the script and planned to give you a very impressive guest role!"
