Chapter 180: Rehearsal
Zhou Heng and Jiang Xiaoxuan decided to take a video of Teacher Liu's rehearsal process and put it on the Internet.
Let some people know that they are hilarious for a while, but others take it seriously, haha.
Although it may not have any effect, he can only use his brain like this.
The two of them also came to Mr. Liu's house with more and more people.
The small courtyard, which has always been quiet, is now particularly lively.
This year's farming is basically over, and there are only some odd jobs left, so everyone is also relaxed and can come over and have fun.
Mr. Liu is also very happy, usually a gentle and elegant style, but now he is smiling so much that he can't see his eyes or teeth, and he is busy setting up the stage or something.
Lao He brought several people here, all of whom were his old colleagues in the city's old art research center, and everyone planned to join forces to sing a good show.
The stage of the shadow puppet show is different from the ordinary one, because it needs light, and the characters are cowhides dozens of centimeters high, so it is not like the usual stage.
You can't sing shadow puppets during the day, so you need to be in a very dark place, with the lights on in the background, so that the audience can see the colorful characters moving on the white curtain in front of the stage.
It's not dark yet, and it's still early, so the stage is also very leisurely prepared.
This is a rare event in the village, and everyone who comes is happy and looking forward to it. Some brought their own fried melon seeds from home, knocked them slowly, and waited for the show to begin.
Even from the next village, people rushed over with stools.
Over there, Mr. Liu and a few lead singers began to hang their voices, try out musical instruments, and bursts of erhu, lockna, etc. have begun to babble, and several people are also using hoarse voices, trying to open their voices.
Zhou Hengzheng was assisting Jiang Xiaoxuan in filming, and someone patted him on the shoulder.
Looking back, it was Sun Ji'an.
I didn't expect this guy to come and join in the fun.
Sun Ji'an smiled: "It's the first time I've watched a shadow puppet show, isn't it a shame......?"
As a person born in the "hometown of shadow puppetry", it was the first time he had watched shadow puppetry, and if others asked him some questions about shadow puppetry, he couldn't say one, two, three.
It can be seen that these things are really about to be lost.
Zhou Heng smiled: "It doesn't matter, just watch it now." I haven't seen it many times either. ”
It's also a fun thing to watch, anyway, he doesn't like to listen to singing, mainly because he can't understand it.
But I don't know why, those short films made by the students, there are several background music in them, all of which are sung in their voices, but he thinks it's quite good.
Sun Ji'an sighed with emotion: "Oh, as soon as these things sound, it just feels lively, like the New Year." In the future, if the village develops, every day will be like the New Year. ”
There was a clear expectation in his eyes.
He said to Zhou Heng with a smile: "I have contacted an engineering team, the village must urgently turn on the street lights in the past two days, and the night lighting must keep up, otherwise someone will come, it will not look good, and it will not be able to keep tourists." ”
Zhou Heng was a little surprised: "Old Sun, you are quite courageous! You can do this as you say, it was useless for us to shout before." ”
Sun Ji'an felt a slight sense of accomplishment: "Hehe, this is catching up, there is a development direction in the village, and it is easy to ask for these things." ”
"That'...... What if there aren't many tourists?
"It's okay, it was supposed to be installed in the village, so it's good to take this opportunity to do this. Let me tell you, that family wants to take this opportunity to open a commissary. Sun Ji'an smiled.
There is no commissary in the village - because it is difficult to open it, there are few people who buy things, and those who buy large quantities go directly to the town to buy them, and hoard them at home in boxes and use them slowly;
In the past, there was a kiosk next to the elementary school that sold cheap children's snacks and toys, but the elementary school was merged and the commissary was removed.
However, if there are tourists coming, it is profitable to sell some mineral water, ice cream, instant noodles and the like.
So it's not surprising that someone would have this idea.
Zhou Heng thought to himself, yes, things are a good thing, but this is all based on assumptions. Who can guarantee how many people will come?
It seems that he has to shout hard in the video.
Anyway, it's a matter of the way, if he can make the people in the village make more money, he has no complaints.
In general, he actually hopes that everyone in the village can get rich, which does not conflict with him, and even has benefits.
Before the show began, they chatted about the idle days.
Sun Ji'an asked Zhou Heng: "You are going to the capital in a few days, are you ready?"
Live poultry and the like can't follow people, and they must be checked in advance, which requires some quarantine certificates or something, which must be prepared in advance.
Then there are some relevant documents and the like, as well as the things you need to use at the exhibition.
Zhou Heng nodded: "Well, there's nothing wrong with these." ”
Sun Ji'an said again: "Okay, don't worry too much, I will go with you in a few days, not only me, but also a lot of people who are going to go." ”
High-tech agricultural and sideline products go out of the province to participate in the exhibition, which is also a big event for the city, so there will be a small news team to follow the trip, and the city TV station may have to broadcast it in a loop for half a year.
There's no way, how much news can a small city have, and when it encounters such a big event, it's still worth breaking the bank.
In this way, the trip to the capital is not small.
Zhou Heng asked him: "Then you are also leaving, what about the engineering team you just talked about?
"It's okay, Director Zhang will watch it, I'll tell him. ”
Director Zhang is the original village director Zhang Changyan, he used to be the only one in the two committees of the village, but now, the old village chief who has been working for several years has been covered by this young first secretary of the subordinate faction.
How long has he been here? Zhang Luo is not only running large-scale breeding for the villagers, installing water and electricity in a unified manner, but also applying for road repair, and now installing street lights for Zhang Luo in the village.
These are real things, and no one in the village is blind.
Zhang Changyan only sighed, it costs money to apply for road repairs, installation of street lights, etc., and it is difficult for him to apply for money from the town every time, but this person is from the city, and he will return to the city in the future, even if the official is small, but the upper and lower levels will give some face.
He didn't accept it.
And one more thing, he thinks, saying that he didn't do anything, which village chief in the neighborhood didn't do this? He is not out of line, he is not as greedy as others.
However, it is useless to say this, he can only listen to the dispatch appointment now, and he still has to carry out the errand of installing the village street lights.
The problem is that this young first secretary not only does things beautifully, but also speaks beautifully! Even in his place, he can't find fault at all, so he doesn't know where to start even if he wants to find some fault.
During this time, the old village chief seemed very unsatisfactory.
But he didn't dare to show it on his face, because in the end, he still wanted to slap him up and plot for the future!
At this time, he didn't bother to watch the play, but was ready to start installing the street lights.
Sun Ji'an was young, and he had already suppressed him, a local official, invisibly, which was not obtained by any gentleness and kindness.
Perhaps the first secretary of other subordinate factions is still living in a battle of wits and courage with the local village officials, and all kinds of things are still chicken feathers, and all kinds of cooperation, but he has firmly gained the upper hand.
So, the old village chief didn't even have the enthusiasm to watch the shadow puppet show.
As the sky gradually darkened, the sky was full of stars, and then a gong sounded, and the shadow puppet show officially began.
The lights came on, and now on the white curtain was the first scene, and the characters also went on stage separately, reading their lines, and then the music sounded, and the main character babbled and sang.
Teacher Liu's unique hoarse elderly singing voice is ready, and the rest of the characters in the sitting seat have spoken and sang, and the shadow puppet show in the small courtyard has officially begun.
Jiang Xiaoxuan hid behind the crowd, recording the environment of the scene, and from time to time the camera was pointed at the stage.
The colorful shadow puppet characters are vivid and interesting in singing, fighting, rolling and fighting.
An hour later, several people were exhausted from singing, the show ended, the lights came on, and the people watching the play gradually dispersed.
The singers began to clean up the stage, putting away all these props, instruments, etc., for tomorrow's performance.
Zhou Heng asked Teacher Liu: "You sing like this every day, your voice can't stand it?" ”
After all, at this age, and the weather is gradually getting colder, when people sing loudly, they will also inhale a lot of cold air.
Teacher Liu was flushed and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, it's a big deal to say less during the day." ”
The old man is quite happy to have something to do.
At the end of the song, everyone dispersed, and Zhou Heng, Sun Ji'an and others also went back.
The next day, Zhou Heng went to prepare for going to the capital, which could not miss anything, otherwise, it would be troublesome at that time.
Jiang Xiaoxuan sorted out the video taken yesterday in the later stage, with music, etc., and uploaded it to the Internet, which also explained the situation last night.
The people who said earlier that they were going to come and really planned to come, when they saw the preparations made by the people in the village, they were laughing and moved for a while, and they were all going anyway, so they lived up to them.
And some people who have never seen a shadow puppet show really plan to go now.
Even some people who have never spoken hilarious, seeing the busy work of Teacher Liu and those people, plan to go and see their enthusiasm.
Of course, there are also many who go to taste the hares raised by Zhou Heng.
Then Jiang Xiaoxuan passed on the little incident between the kitten catching the sparrow, Zhou Heng and the big yellow dog that she photographed yesterday, and immediately caused another exclamation, and by the way, she sucked another wave of fans.
Usually just a cute kitten, the actual combat ability is so strong, it is really a fan with strength.
From the idol faction to the powerful faction, it is by virtue of that leap.
The comments and barrage are almost bursting, and they all say they are amazing.
[Oh my God, such a small cat can catch mice on its own, and I can't! I'm so ashamed!]
[Tell me, tell me, how the hell does it do it?]
[It's useless to tell you, the hind legs kicked hard and flew up, and then casually stretched out his claws to catch the flying sparrow in his mouth, and then turned around and fell, the secret told you, then will you?]
[Hahahaha...... The mouth is really poisonous. 】
[Where are you going to take the training course?
[Don't think about it, it's useless, your master has degenerated. 】
All kinds of lively.
