Chapter 55 My Speech Battle (9) Instructor Mr. Wu from Tainan No. 1 Middle School

Through speeches, I have been to many places. I went to a lot of schools in the four big cities of Taipei, Taichung, Tainan, and Kaohsiung, but I haven't been to many more.To be honest, at least I am very interested in visiting every girls' school!I'm going to Taichung Girls' High School next week, and I'm really looking forward to it... (It's also my strong point to say embarrassing things without changing my face) It is not uncommon to give speeches in big cities. For example, Hualien, which has beautiful mountains and rivers, I should have been there three times.Or is it just a way to play?In short, Hualien has given me a lot of memories, and it is a very beautiful place.

As far away as Taitung, I also went to Taitung once, but that time I went to four schools for two consecutive days to give speeches, which means I didn't play all of them, completely!Didn't get it!Next time I'm going to make a special trip to hum. Matsu's school had invited me, but it was a pity that the time was not available.I will give a speech in Penghu in a few months, and I will take the girl there with me. The girl has never been to Penghu, but I have been to Penghu twice, and I will rent a motorcycle to take her for a ride.Kinmen's specialty is kitchen knives, but is there any school that owes nine knives?

Speaking of which, apart from the outer islands, I have never given a speech in Yilan, Taiwan. Pingtung currently does not have it, but soon, I will give a speech at Pingbei High School on April 1 this year. Now that I have arrived in Pingtung, I expect to be able to talk about one more school in Pingtung. Is there any school in Pingtung? Students going to advise the school?At other times, I have to drive around Pingtung by myself. Killer Ouyang Bonsai said: "Everything has its price." Lectures are of course paid. But the cost of the speech is really not under my control, it is managed by the brokerage company.Unless the person who invited me has a very special personal relationship with me, it is impossible for me to ask my agent to accommodate.

As long as an email with a speaking invitation is sent to me, 99% of it will be forwarded directly to the agent for processing, and I almost don't care about it at all.Some schools and wonderful units don’t know where to get my mobile phone and pay directly to Joe with me. It really bothers me. After talking for a long time, we don’t know each other or have friendship. , Even if you are a hot girl and not my hot girl, why insist on Lu me?If I can really decide the fee and time completely by myself, wouldn't there be legal problems with the contract signed by the brokerage company? However, occasionally a school in a remote area offers an invitation, and I will go as long as the transportation fee is paid.Because I kept witnessing the terrible gap between urban and rural areas in the process of speaking.

how to say? Often I put a few animation pictures at the beginning of my speech to heat up the scene with laughter. I found that the schools in the bigger cities, the more joyful the laughter I heard. But when the scene was changed to an elementary school in the countryside, when I played the funny slideshow, only a few people were laughing at me, and they laughed a little unwillingly. What does this mean?Said that they have never seen the "One Piece", "Hunter", "Naruto", and "Death Notebook" mentioned in the slideshow I put.Come on, these cartoons are very popular!Even the TV is always on!

I myself grew up in the small city of Changhua, but I still carefully read the Boys’ Letters under the drawer every week.It turned out to be a very common pastime for me, but for many students in places with less resources, a comic book is actually such a strange and distant entertainment. Under the same idea, the so-called "famous figures" in the eyes of those students should rarely come to primary schools to give speeches, right?Then, let me occasionally passively accept speech invitations in remote areas, and give a full-fire speech "Life is a non-stop battle" to students who lack cultural stimulation for a long time. I have also told the brokerage company about this.

This is my voluntary denting, so I don't accept others denting me (this will be discussed in detail in the next chapter). There is a gap between urban and rural areas. There are also differences in school culture. The speaking experience at Tainan No. 1 Middle School is very special. Usually after I finish my speech, I stay on the podium to sign books for my classmates. After signing for about fifteen minutes, the school instructor will yell: "The bell is ringing for class! Students, hurry up and go back to the classroom for class! Hurry up!" After a while, the advocacy will inevitably be invalid. At this time, the instructor will point to one of the queues and say: "After this person, I will return to the classroom, and I will not be able to sign you! Hurry up! Otherwise, the registration will start! "

Both middle school and high school students are very afraid of being registered, being demerited and so on. If they are threatened by the instructors like this, they will start to escape.It only takes about 20 minutes for me to sign and take a group photo with the staff before driving away. BUT! The most frightening thing in life is this BUT! I remember in April 2008 when I went to Tainan No. 1 Middle School to give a speech, I sat down and signed books as soon as the exercise was over.I took a look at the line of people, it was so long, it must have circled the entire auditorium.But I am not afraid at all, because there are always instructors covering me!

As a result, I kept signing, taking pictures, and shaking hands. As time went on, the line of people was still so long that it was hopeless. Finally, the instructor with a smile finally appeared.My heart widened and I felt saved. ...I have never liked the instructor so much in my life! I saw this crew-cut instructor in a khaki uniform holding a microphone amiably, and said to the students of South No. 1 Middle School who were queuing up and circling, circling and circling: "That... the bell has been struck, students who want to go to class , remember to go back to the classroom and go to class...study is also very important. If you want to stay here and sign, remember to be polite...hehehe."

After finishing speaking, I left. Do it, do it, do it, you, the instructor, turned out to be Teacher Wu from the legend of Ha Bang in disguise! Unfortunately, if I remember correctly, I signed the autograph for more than an hour and a half that day, almost as long as the speech.I'm insane when he signs in, and almost all the signers are boys. I don't feel happy at all, big brother! When it comes to the balance between speech time and book signing time, I think the best ratio is: 100 to 0. I remember I said that no matter which school I go to, I plan to speak for two hours.It’s not that I’m very professional, nor that I have a special sense of responsibility, but that I talk a lot... I remember that I even talked for more than two and a half hours at Qingyun University of Science and Technology, and I escaped to pee once in the middle, which is probably the longest so far. record.

However, in general high schools and junior high schools, the school will spend more than ten minutes on collecting classmates, managing order, and quieting the whole team. The officer will talk about it again, but in fact, I only have an hour and a half left for me.It's so short, it's almost impossible to save time for Q&A. Some schools hope that I can leave some time for speeches to sign books for my classmates. Of course I can. Asking me to sign books is not asking me to pick steel bars.Compared with sitting comfortably and signing books, I have a spinal problem and I am tired of standing up and giving speeches, okay?But is it really worth it for the school and the students? I said that Cai Zhiheng is very smart, but the uncle saw it very thoroughly. He said that the readers just hope that you will talk about it quickly, and then sign the book for everyone as soon as possible. But I... have a problem. If it takes me half an hour to sign a book, it means that my speech is only an hour and a little more.Why don't you think of a way to squeeze out my maximum value if you invite me to give a speech at the same cost? It’s okay if my speech is bad today, just take it as a labor service to sign books for everyone, but I seriously think that the content of my speech should be helpful to those who sit down and listen, if not helpful, at least pretty good fun, right? Besides, speeches are fun for everyone, but book signing is only fun for the readers standing in front of me. Everything else is time consuming in line. People who line up feel tired and secretly hate me . In fact, there are book signings held from time to time, and I am basically the kind of writer who is easy to find.If I want to get autographs, I will draw pictures of each book during the book signing, but due to time pressure at the end of the speech, I can only sign autographs, isn't it very monotonous. If possible, I would like to speak all the time. Seriously take away any sentence in my speech, let that sentence have a chemical change with your life, this is more like a man's "signature of grade out of nothing"!
