Venus, who has always dared to say and dare to do, has begun to complain again. This time, she complained about the Wuzhen Theater Festival, and she spoke publicly on a forum of the theater festival.
The biggest slot that Venus threw out was to accuse theatrical repertoire arrangements not to follow the theater festival directors. In order to avoid suspicion, who should be the director should not arrange anyone's play, which is the real support for young theater talents. For example, this year, when Meng Jinghui is the director, don't go on Meng Jinghui's play, otherwise the pattern will be too small.
Venus's roll call at the scene triggered a burst of laughter and applause from the audience. After the relevant video was exposed on the Internet, some people thought that Venus hit the nail on the head and said a lot of people's hearts, some people thought that Venus was irresponsible to talk like this, did not see all the facts, and some people thought that Venus actually had selfish intentions when she spoke like this, in order to hype her new "Venus Show".
So, is there any reason for Venus to complain so fiercely?
01
It is undeniable that the opening and closing dramas of this year's Wuzhen Drama Festival are indeed related to several directors, first Meng Jinghui's "Red and Black", and then Lai Shengchuan's "Once Upon a Time".
If according to Venus, Meng Jinghui Lai Shengchuan they do not arrange their own plays, they can indeed make way for more new plays. But the problem is that a theater festival not only has to take care of newcomers and new plays, but also has to take care of the psychology of some people watching the plays of famous directors, so if you deliberately do not put in the plays of directors with good quality because of avoidance, it is too deliberate.
Ren Xian does not avoid relatives, and it is reasonable to say that the selection of dramas should not avoid relatives, and everything should be based on the quality of the repertoire as the standard, not on whether it is a new repertoire or not. It is precisely because Meng Jinghui and Lai Shengchuan's works have a relatively good reputation and market influence that they can support the role of the opening and closing dramas, and it is inappropriate to push two ordinary works regardless of quality.

While complaining about Meng Jinghui and Lai Shengchuan, Jin Xing also affirmed the theater director Tian Qinxin. She said that when Tian Qinxin was the director of the theater festival, she did not push her own plays and left more opportunities for young people. In fact, this is not the truth, Tian Qinxin also put his own repertoire into it that year, and also won a lot of praise.
So the question is not whether the director puts his own play in, but what is the quality of the play itself. For example, the two new plays of Meng Jinghui and Lai Shengchuan failed to win universal recognition. As a theater audience, you should complain about the quality of the play, not which director it is, whether this person is the theater festival director or not.

But in the end, I still have to affirm Venus's words. Although there is something debatable about her words, even if she is wrong, her attitude of not making a mess and daring to criticize is still worthy of recognition. This has nothing to do with whether she is pushing her own new show, and it is not necessarily related.
In various public occasions, we have seen that the parties have said too many scenes, hello, hello, and very few people dare to say a few words of truth. A truly healthy literary and art market should have people who dare to tell the truth and dare to carry out literary and artistic criticism, which is conducive to the generation of a benign public opinion environment and the emergence of more and better new works.
Why is Venus so popular? The most important reason is that she dares to tell the truth. Sometimes she seems a little arrogant, and the criticism is occasionally inappropriate, but no matter what, we need such real people.
