The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Xiangbei said goodbye to Lao Jiao, walked out onto the road, and saw another building diagonally opposite. Judging from the shape of the building, it should be some kind of public facility, an exhibition hall or a conference center. Zhang Xiangbei walked over and found that it was KIAC, Kinosaki International Art Center.

In such a small town, what kind of international art center is there? Who will provide art? Zhang Xiangbei was very curious. He took out his mobile phone and searched Baidu. He was shocked. He didn't expect that KIAC was famous.

Zhang Xiangbei saw an introduction saying that "Kirosaki International Art Center (KIAC)" is a residential creative activity facility. All stage artists and art groups around the world can apply to them. After the application is approved, they can If you stay here for three days to three months, you can use the theater, studios and accommodation facilities here for free 24 hours a day.

Miki Taguchi is also the curator of Kinosaki International Art Center, and playwright and director Orisa Hirata is the artistic director here.

The drama "Metamorphosis", which caused a sensation in the past few years and toured Beijing and Shanghai, was choreographed here and directed by Orisa Hirata.

This play is based on Kafka's novel "The Metamorphosis" and is co-produced by the Youth Troupe, a heavyweight theater company in Japan's small theater industry, and Osaka University, which has made outstanding achievements in cutting-edge robotics research.

The play has attracted everyone's attention because the protagonist Gregor is played by a humanoid robot developed by Osaka University professor Hiroshi Ishiguro. Several French actors played Gregor's parents and sister respectively.

In September 2014, they conducted a month-long rehearsal at the Kinosaki International Art Center. After previewing in Japan, they performed in Normandy and across Europe as an exhibit at the Normandy Autumn Art Festival in France that year.

Taguchi Mikiya and Hirata Orisa still have two major things to do. First, they are currently preparing to build an "International Tourism Arts University" here. This is a prefectural university in Hyogo Prefecture, which mainly cultivates talents in drama. .

Another thing is that they are planning to hold an international theater festival based on Kinosaki International Art Center KIAC, striving to make Toyooka City the largest international theater festival in the world, comparable to the Avignon Theater Festival in France.

There was no performance in the art center today, but the lights inside were on. Zhang Xiangbei walked in. He found that the art center was actually composed of two parts. One part was two open event venues, each with more than 300 square meters. He saw When we arrived at one of them, many local children were lying on the ground scribbling.

There is also a hall with a few young people rehearsing hip-hop dance at one end, and a few young people rehearsing a drama at the other end. The two groups of people are focusing on their own things and not disturbing each other.

Another part of the art center is a theater. The theater is not small, with a thousand seats. On the stage in front, there are art groups from Europe rehearsing a program. Zhang Xiangbei walked in and sat down on the seats below. , and no one cared about him. He looked at it for a while, but didn't see the reason, got up and left, and no one cared about him.

This is really a place of freedom. No wonder it is said that artists staying here have no restrictions and can rehearse their own shows 24 hours a day.

Walking outside, Zhang Xiangbei thought of one thing. Isn't this the goal of Xiangnan and the others? The Yongcheng Wu Opera Troupe now has the Yongcheng Center and the Yongcheng International Street Theater Festival. If the student class If it expands further, wouldn't it also be able to become a school?

What others can do here, Xiang Nan can also do in Yongcheng. Zhang Xiangbei feels that it is best to let Xiang Nan come here to have a look. If possible, it is best to bring the team here to rehearse new plays. This It is an encouragement to the team, and it can also be used as a stepping stone for Xiangnan.

Zhang Xiangbei has thought about it. When he gets up tomorrow morning, the first thing he will do is come here.

When Zhang Xiangbei returned to the hotel, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. The female general had helped him make a bed on the tatami. Zhang Xiangbei took off his bathrobe and went to the hot spring outside and soaked his body in the pool. , and then dialed Xiangnan’s number.

Zhang Xiangbei told Xiangnan about the Kinosaki International Art Center, and also sent her the photos he had just taken with his mobile phone.

The next morning, Zhang Xiangbei got up and went to soak in the hot spring. When he came back, the female general had already tidied up his bed. The mattress and bedding with quilt covers and pillowcases had been put into the cabinet. The room was empty and tidy again.

Breakfast has been laid out on the long table. The breakfast is very rich. The amount of each food is not large, but there are many varieties. The table is full, with about a dozen kinds.

Zhang Xiangbei was eating alone, and the female general knelt beside him to serve him. This made Zhang Xiangbei very unbearable. He really wanted to ask her out, but he thought that not letting her serve would probably be unfair to her. Insult, then give up.

But when I’m having breakfast, I can’t stand the sight of people around me, and there are still people serving me, so what’s the point? Zhang Xiangbei speeded up, but the faster he ate, the female general felt that he was not full yet, and kept bringing new food, which made Zhang Xiangbei dumbfounded. He could only slow down and talk to the female general. Say, I've eaten too much, I'm full, thank you.

The female general then started to clean up, and after a while, everything was evacuated from the room.

After enjoying such meticulous service, Zhang Xiangbei not only did not feel satisfied, but also made up his mind. Next time he comes again, he must go to the West Village House Zhao Yueting. I can't live here anymore. I am young and have the skills. My feet can't bear it.

I had something to talk about when I went out today. Zhang Xiangbei did not wear a bathrobe, but wore his own T-shirt and a pair of frayed casual pants when he went out. When he arrived in the lobby, the young man at the door saw him and disappeared in a flash. Waiting for Zhang Xiangbei When Xiangbei walked to the door, he had already brought Zhang Xiangbei's leather shoes over.

Zhang Xiangbei walked out of the Nishimura House and went to the Kinosaki International Art Center. He asked the staff on the first floor. Today, the artistic director Hirata Orisa was not there, but the curator Miki Taguchi was also there.

The staff enthusiastically led him up to the second floor and to the curator's office. Miki Taguchi was about the same age as Zhang Xiangbei's father. He had a bald head, glasses, and a goatee on his chin.

Not knowing who Zhang Xiangbei was, Taguchi Miki also stood up and came over to shake hands with Zhang Xiangbei warmly, which made Zhang Xiangbei a little confused. He later told Zhang Xiangbei that I like strangers and uninvited guests the most, because They will always bring you information about another world that you are unfamiliar with, and they will always bring surprises.

The two people exchanged business cards and were stunned for a moment when they held each other's business cards. Zhang Xiangbei saw that on Taguchi Mikiya's business card, one side was printed with the four Chinese characters "Specialize in Nosy" written with a brush, and the reverse was "Josaki International Art" Mikiya Taguchi, director of KIAC Center.”

Taguchi Mian also looked at Zhang Xiangbei's business card. Zhang Xiangbei didn't have a new business card, and there was nothing to print on the new business card. His business card was still the original "Zhaixianshui" business card, but he just changed the company name of "Zhaixianshui" and The chairman made a mark with a pen. Taguchi also held it. He didn’t know what was going on. Zhang Xiangbei explained:

"I have already left this company. On my business card, only my mobile phone is correct."

Taguchi Miki also smiled and understood.

Zhang Xiangbei and Miki Taguchi said that their visit to him today had nothing to do with "Zhai Xian Shou". They were entrusted by the Yongcheng Wu Opera Troupe to discuss cooperation with him.

What surprised Zhang Xiangbei was that Miki Taguchi not only knew Yongcheng Wu Opera Troupe and Yongcheng, but also knew Xiangnan. It turned out that he had been to Yongcheng when the second Yongcheng World Street Theater Festival was held. , just not as an invited guest, but because he saw the news online and ran over to watch it. He felt that the Yongcheng International Street Theater Festival was well done.

In Yongcheng, of course he had seen the performance of the Yongcheng Wu Troupe, the organizer of the drama festival, and was deeply impressed by Xiangnan. When Xiangnan came to Tokyo to perform, he saw the poster in the newspaper and made a special trip to Tokyo to see it. her show.

With such a fate, the next thing was very simple. Zhang Xiangbei opened WeChat and asked Xiangnan to video-record with Mikiya Taguchi, who acted as the translator. Then, Zhang Xiangbei represented Yongcheng Wu Opera Troupe and Yongcheng Center, and soon Established an exchange and cooperation relationship with Kinosaki International Art Center KIAC.

The two parties agreed that the Yongcheng Wu Opera Troupe will come here every year to rehearse new plays and perform for a month. Kinosaki International Art Center KIAC will also send performance groups to Yongcheng to rehearse and perform.

Zhang Xiangbei was at Kinosaki International Art Center KIAC, and Miki Taguchi also had lunch with him, visited their art center, and then prepared to leave. Miki Taguchi also heard that Zhang Xiangbei was going to the top of Master Mountain, so he volunteered to accompany Zhang Going north, Zhang Xiangbei said it didn’t have to be so hard, and Taguchi Mian also said, why is it so hard? Have you forgotten what was written on my business card?

Of course I didn't forget that he was just "minding other people's business." Accompanying someone to climb a mountain was really just a nosy matter. Zhang Xiangxi laughed loudly and went out with Miki Taguchi.

Taguchi Mikiya and Zhang Xiangbei said that the reason why it is called Master Mountain is because the founder of Kinosaki Hot Spring, Dochi Master, was the founder of Kinosaki Hot Spring. In the eighth century AD, he established a hot spring temple here, which is also the name of Kinosaki Hot Spring. The main hall of Onsenji Temple was built in 1837 at the beginning of Kaicheng. It is the oldest wooden structure in Tajima.

"The cable car we are going to take will have a stop in the middle, which is the Hot Spring Temple." Taguchi Mikiya and Zhang Xiangbei said.
