40. The first floor of the world

After watching the exciting flag-raising ceremony and watching the magnificent military parade on TV, it seemed that everyone was like an F1 car coming out of the pit, replacing old tires, filling up with gasoline, and full of power.

The academy still takes good care of this group of students, and specially approves 3,000 yuan for them to make props, although the meat is not much, but at least it can cushion the stomach.

In a blink of an eye, the National Day holiday has ended, and other students went to the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland to go to the waves, and the audience saw the most famous scenery of the Celestial Empire, "the sea of people", and finally reluctantly returned to school, while the group of students of 07 Biaoben rehearsed the program for several days.

The effort is still rewarded, and after a few days, everyone's tacit understanding of the play is getting better and better, and the interpretation of the joke burden is also more skillful, and the whole scene has an excellent effect.

The location of the competition has been decided, in the Beizhan Theater, in terms of the scale of the venue, the specifications of this competition are still very high, the Beizhan is the first large-scale exhibition hall in the imperial capital, built during the "First Five-Year Plan", and the Beizhan Theater is located in the Beizhan complex, with 2,700 audience seats, is the largest professional performance theater in the imperial capital.

Speaking of Beizhan, Han Fei's first impression is Deyun Club, it seems that when he watched Guo Degang's cross talk on the Internet, the theater that Lao Guo mentioned the most was the Beizhan Theater, Lao Guo is indeed a good man, the venue of nearly 3,000 people was full, and he almost didn't sell tickets, which shows the superb level of his cross talk.

"The order of competition is out, come and take a look. Wang Jinduo walked into the small theater from the outside with an A4.

"Come on, let me see. Several students on the stage paused rehearsals and gathered around Wang Jinduo in the center.

Da Tiantian directly dragged the program sequence list, and said leisurely: "The sworn enemy is actually the first to act, because of blowing Siting, the program is "The First Floor of the World", I seem to have heard that there is a TV series of the same name, played by Mr. Weizi, it seems to be the theme of the Republic of China, it is estimated to be a bit similar to "Teahouse", there are more masterpieces that can be referenced, and it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree." ”

Sun Qiang also came over and took a look, gloating, and said with a smile: "Yo, there are also programs in the middle of the broadcast, I thought they were only responsible for broadcasting, and they were unlucky, they actually followed the first performance after the Chinese opera, and the pressure was great." ”

The paper was passed to each other among several people, and Kan Qingzi said: "Let me see, military art is the third performance, "Drifting City", is this a science fiction theme? ”

"The drama "Tropical Thunder" seems to be a war-themed drama, and I haven't seen a war-themed drama for a long time. ”

"This is a big comparison, let's finale, the organizing committee of this competition is also not a big deal to see the excitement, it feels like a long snake formation, and it is the beginning and the end of it, they want Nortel Chinese Opera to destroy the middle teams together. ”

"Don't talk big, I feel a lot of pressure, and everyone is staring at the last one, if you don't smash the performance, you will spray people like grandchildren. ”

"It's like who's not under pressure, it's like a penalty shootout in football, there's no one who doesn't have a lot of pressure, and whoever misses the penalty is responsible. ”

Everyone discussed it babblingly, and Han Fei had to come out to settle the table, and persuaded: "I said, don't complain about these things that you have or not, let's hurry up and go over again, it's a small matter for individuals to be scolded, and it's a big matter to lose face in the school." ”

……

October 10, cloudy.

In addition to the students who came to support the various schools, there were also people who specially bought tickets to come in to watch, and the Beizhan Theater was actually seated by almost half of the people.

The literary and artistic channel of Imperial Capital TV also specially dispatched a location team, followed by several newspapers and online media, these people are quite good at joining in the fun, not to report the gossip news of entertainment stars, but to return to the campus competition, I don't know if this is gossip to start from the sprouts or the media "do not forget the original intention".

The lineup of judges also looks quite luxurious, not only the first-level leaders of the major participating schools, but also the famous star class teachers, and finally invited some old-timers in the drama industry, the one sitting in the middle is the third-in-command of the Municipal Radio and Television Bureau, and his attendance has raised the competition to a new height, and the civil confrontation has become officially supervised.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the competition officially began.

First of all, it is still the speeches of the leaders, which are nothing more than some official clichés, to welcome the 60th birthday of the motherland, all students should actively show the style of contemporary college students, not only to show a good program level, but also to show the style.

After the leaders finished speaking, everyone below was about to get moldy, and finally, a young and beautiful hostess walked to the center of the stage and announced: "Below, please enjoy the competition repertoire of the Chinese opera team, "The First Floor of the World". ”

"The First Floor of the World" tells the story of the tortuous development process of the time-honored roast duck restaurant "Fujude", which was founded in the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty and passed down to the early years of the Republic of China, from making ends meet, being like a tired egg, to making a comeback, and becoming famous in Beijing and facing bankruptcy; it praises the ingenuity, dedication, and practical spirit of Lu Mengshi, Jade Girl, Luo Datou, Chang Gui, and others; and accuses and criticizes the habit of idle losers and dark and decadent social forces.

The lights were first dim and then bright, and the background board in the center of the stage was written with three big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing, Fu Jude.

The narrator begins to explain: "Zhengyangmen, also known as Qianmen, can be called 'at the foot of the Son of Heaven', densely populated, bustling in the market, and the essence of the Beijing division lies here. Shops, teahouses, theaters, and stalls are lined up one after another. Bustling with people during the day and brilliant lights at night, it has flourished for 500 years. And behind this Qianmen Street, there is an alley called the meat market, every morning when the sky is light, the meat market is lively, inside and outside is full of pork selling meat bars, on which there are fresh pork picked from the "soup pot" of Dongsi and Xisi. Those who come here to buy meat are those who buy meat from nearby restaurants, cooks who cook in the house, housewives of small families, and occasionally eunuchs from the palace's imperial dining room. Bargging, you buy and I sell, the sound is ......"

For a while, a number of actors came out, all dressed plainly, some carrying baskets, some with blankets on their shoulders, and some carrying fushiki on their backs, the stage was extremely noisy, and when the lights went out and turned on again, the story finally began.

The second shopkeeper's name is Wang Zixi, who is entertaining the guests in the store, and the little apprentice Fushun is shouting: "Ten baked cakes, they should be hot." ”

At this time, a man in a police uniform ran in and said menacingly: "Hang the dragon flag! Hang the dragon flag!

"Hey, I'm sorry boss, I looked for a night yesterday, but I didn't find it, and I went to the clothes shop to set a side tomorrow, and I really can't draw anyone today. "Wang Zixi, as an old shopkeeper for many years, has dealt with this kind of person more times.

"Come on, I'll sell you to hang it, hurry up and hang it, our Zhang Xun Marshal has already seen the emperor, the Qing Dynasty, and it has been erected again. "The policeman's hand was originally behind his back, but now he stretched out to the front, and it was a dragon flag.

"Hey, yes. Wang Zixi gave the money, and Ma Yu sent the plague god away.

Then a few ruffians came one after another, the purpose is the same as that policeman, all to knock the two eldest sons, the reason is also very strange, you don't give money, you can't do it, people have 10,000 ways to find fault in your store, just like the wolf and rabbit joke on the Internet, why don't you wear a hat?

In these years, doing a business is called a grievance, the warlords are fighting to raise military expenses, you businessmen have to show their loyalty, the police station has to maintain law and order, you businessmen have to support the work, hooligans and ruffians have to collect protection money, you businessmen look at it, people are barefoot and are not afraid to wear shoes.

The old shopkeeper Tang Deyuan retired to the inner room due to old age and illness, and the store was all thanks to the second cabinet Wang Zixi to assist the two young shopkeepers in the dismal operation. How can the two young masters have no chance with the ducks, the eldest young master is obsessed with playing tickets, the second young master advocates martial arts, and the shop is unable to make ends meet, Wang Zixi recommended his post-changing brother Lu Mengshi to the old shopkeeper several times to run the store business.

"Tsk, I really don't have to say anything about the line skills of Chinese opera, this imperial capital is really authentic. ”

"That little policeman and hooligan acted so well, could it be that this group of people really went to that restaurant to collect protection money, haha......"

The basic skills of Chinese opera students are really solid, and there are many characters who appear in the first act, but the skills of each line are okay, and the acting skills are also online, and the audience at the bottom glances at them.

The collapse of an empire begins from within, just like the famous Fujude, which is still beautiful on the surface, but on the inside it is hollowed out by the two sons of the old shopkeeper, and even owes a foreign debt.

There were only three people left in the center of the field, Tang Deyuan and his son, and the old father was so angry with the two loser sons that he might as well give birth to two pieces of barbecued pork.

Tang Deyuan angrily asked: "Let me ask you, how much is the overdraft in the past six months, how much is the dividend, and how much is the balance?"

The eldest son, Tang Maochang, said hesitantly: "The account is calculated by the prince, I read it, I didn't remember it, probably, probably ......"

"Probably a fart, you say!" Old Tang looked at his second son.

The second son, Tang Maosheng, was even more straw and said, "The eldest brother read the account book, but I didn't read it. ”

Tang Deyuan was angry and scolded: "A foolish account! You are just like this? You are deliberately trying to waste this inheritance left by your ancestors!"

"Dad, you are also sick, you can't make such a big fire, to be honest, we both have our own good, but we don't want to serve these ducks. ”

Your grandfather entered Beijing at the age of fourteen, and the two benches were supported by a piece of board, and when he bought this land, he happened to give birth to you, and his grandfather named you Maochang, so that our Tang family ancestors kept this family business for generations. Look at you like that, it would be better not to have you as an obstacle in the first place. ”

Tang Maosheng continued to say unhesitantly: "Dad, it's too desperate for you to say this. ”

I saw Tang Deyuan's eyes widen suddenly, the green tendons on his neck rose like earthworms, and the whole person trembled like a swing: "You, you get out of me!"

After that, the old Tang softened on the ground, with white saliva hanging on the corner of his mouth, and the second shopkeeper, who had been hiding behind and listening for a long time, finally rushed up and helped Tang Deyuan up, Tang Deyuan said tremblingly: "Quick, go and invite Lu Mengshi." ”

The lights go out and the first act ends.

"Damn, are they that strong? A group of Nortel people sat in the fourth row on the left, and they could see the performance on stage clearly.

Han Fei said: "Although we usually look down on each other, we really have to face up to the gap with Chinese opera, not to mention anything else, at least we have fallen behind on this drama stage." ”

"Yes, the old shopkeeper just now, his acting skills are really amazing, this person is only one year older than us, sweeping monk. Da Tiantian couldn't help but feel a little admired.

At the beginning of the second act, it was still in the Fujude Restaurant, although Lu Mengshi was invited, but this fucking world has made the business of the restaurant very bleak, but the money that should be collected in black and white cannot be less, and these collectors are more punctual than the eldest aunt.

Sociologists have discovered a social phenomenon called the "broken window effect", when undesirable phenomena in the environment are allowed to exist, they will induce people to imitate them, or even intensify them. A building with a few broken windows, for example, may have vandals destroy more windows if those windows are not repaired.

Fujude is like this, originally Xuanhe was once in harmony, and now this restaurant is like a broken ship drifting on the stormy sea, which will touch the reef at any time.

The guys and cooks are gossiping in the store all day long because they don't have any customers, and the shopkeeper's heartfelt rescuer Lu Mengshi is not a good person, he does the work, he is lazy and steals, and from time to time he runs to Bada Hutong to fool around with a female branch named Yu Yan'er.

The buddy Han Fei who played Lu Mengshi was a little bit, he was Er Kang in "New Huanzhu Gege", and he was also a little impressed by the girl who played Yu Yan'er, but he didn't remember the name, it was the girl with a sharp nose in "The Pretender".

Yu Yan'er teased: "You are so bold. ”

Lu Mengshi smiled cheaply, hugged Yu Yan'er, touched her hand again, and said: "Don't be bold, dare to seduce the people of the Eight Hutongs? ”

"Hmph. Yu Yan'er drilled into Lu Mengshi's arms, her posture was extremely charming, and she said coquettishly: "Who knows if what you said is true." ”

"Really, can't you try it?"

"Nasty. ”

"Yu'er, you're so slippery. ”

"Dead ghost, it's annoying. ”

Seeing this scene, there was a burst of laughter from the audience, why did you drive openly?

However, there is a good saying, only a great hero can be true, it is a true celebrity who is self-styled, Lu Mengshi tossed and moved between warlords, royalists, ruffians, and two young owners, and with the help of his confidante Yu Yan'er and chef Luo Datou and cousin Changgui, he miraculously brought Fu Jude back to life.

"Amazing, this Lu Mengshi acted really well. ”

"I think Jade Chick is also good, hey, you said they wouldn't be a couple, that Jade Hin'er's coquettish actions are not like outsiders. ”

"Whatever, but the pressure on the middle pass behind is great, as the old saying goes, throwing bricks leads to jade, this time it is estimated that throwing jade leads bricks. ”

At the beginning of the third act, ten years later, Fujude is still the leading brand in the catering industry in Beijing with the clever means of CEO Mr. Lu Mengshi.

However, it is not a good thing for the CEO to be too strong, just like the Zen master of the Lakers, although he brought the Lakers five championship trophies, the board of directors felt that he had too much power, and kept stumbling on him openly and secretly, and finally made the Zen master leave New York. And the situation of Fujude is also similar, the two vice chairmen Tang Maosheng and Tang Maochang were instigated by outsiders to plot to get rid of the CEO, damn, this is our family's business, now that Fujude Restaurant is thriving, we don't need you anymore, hurry up and pack up the covers.

The manager of the public relations department, that is, Chang Gui, an expert in the running hall industry, unfortunately died in the line of duty when serving food, and Luo Datou, the executive chef of the catering department, had a bad habit, he loved to smoke a big cigarette, and was told by a mole, and the next day the detective team came to the store and found out the tobacco from unknown sources.

The dogleg of the detective team, Kewu, said arrogantly: "Fifth master, I'm here again"

Lu Mengshi glared at him, neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "What are you doing?"

Ke Wu said: "You have someone here who has a big cigarette secret. ”

"Kewu, you must have credentials to speak, you don't want to spew blood!"

The detective captain waved his hand, and the wind was light: "Search." ”

A group of detectives kicked the tables in the store like devils who had entered the village, knocked the wine jar on the counter to the ground, shattered the stubble, and finally found cigarette butts in a wine jar in the kitchen.

Lu Mengshi looked at Luo Datou, who was like a frosted eggplant, and said bitterly: "You, you are so unlucky!"

"Hmph, the ninth-rate things, bundle them up and pull them out to show the public. The captain gave them a contemptuous look, and the team members immediately began to tie people up with ropes.

For a while, Lu Mengshi remembered the scene of his father's humiliation back then, and the righteousness and pride in his bones burst out, and he shouted: "Wait! Luo Datou is a cook in the oven, not a cigarette dealer. I am willing to testify, and Fujude is willing to protect!"

The captain squinted at him and said, "Who can protect you?"

No one in the store dared to come forward, and the guys looked at the two young owners, but they really flattered and threw them to the blind, and they wished that Lu Mengshi would be arrested.

"Let's go, let's talk to the detective team. ”

"Big head, roast your duck well, be a serious person. ”

Yu Yan'er pounced on Lu Mengshi with an arrow step, crying: "Mengshi!"

Lu Mengshi touched Yu Yan'er's cheek, and smiled helplessly: "I have wronged you, it is me Lu Mengshi who can't stand you." ”

After the detective team left, the two brothers Tang Maochang and Tang Maosheng were as happy as the New Year.

"Haha, this business is surnamed Tang after all. ”

"Look at his cowardice, just our relationship with the captain, we can play him to death casually. ”

There is a way that the agency is too smart, but it took Qingqing's life, the two vice chairmen thought that they had driven away the CEO, this company can still laugh at the catering industry in Beijing, who knows that it is with the tiger skin, the detective captain is a master who eats people and does not spit out bones, and after a few years, he took out Fujude, and the last scene finally began.

Fujude was already in decline, the plaque was full of scratches, and the couplet in front of the door was tattered.

Or the policeman: "Hang the flag and hang the flag." ”

Wang Zixi asked, "What kind of flag will you hang this time?"

"The Republic of China, the five-color flag, I know that you are not free, take it and give money. ”

"Gotcha. ”

Wang Zixi was so old that his waist was already rickety, and he staggered into the store with the flag, looking at the empty scene in the store, there were no half customers, and the furnishings were already old, he sat on the chair and didn't know what he remembered.

In the end, the plaque of "Fu Jude" suddenly fell, snapped, and the lights went out, Fu Jude finally collapsed, just like what was said in "Dream of Red Mansions": "It's like eating all the birds and throwing them into the forest, and the land is so clean and white." ”

"Okay, great!"

"Wonderful, really wonderful. ”

Han Fei looked at his teammates around him, and all of them looked very solemn.

"Do you think we still have a chance to win?" Wang Jinduo was a little unconfident.

"Their ideas and performances are very good. Sun Qiang, who has always been funny, also became serious.

"It turns out that we really underestimated the enemy before, and the level of others is really high. ”

"Don't be discouraged, our show is not bad, they did perform quite well, but we have to catch up!"
