The word Liyuan Summit was both familiar and unfamiliar to Cheng Xiaolou, and he recalled it carefully before he suddenly remembered the meaning of these four words.

He knew from his memory that the Pear Garden Summit was the pinnacle of the pear orchard industry in China, and there was no one.

The Pear Orchard Summit is held every 10 years, and the summit of each province is held every three years.

The location of each provincial summit will be rotated in each city, and this year it is the turn of Mianshan City.

Before the start of the Liyuan Summit, each city will conduct a round of pre-selection, and only the best and most outstanding ten will be eligible to represent their cities to participate in the triennial provincial summit.

And the Lingren who finally won the top spot of the summit will be the first person in Liyuan in the next three years, and will become the corner sought after by tens of millions of people.

"How did I forget this, you are right, this kind of event is indeed a good learning opportunity, and it is necessary to see it. ”

After sorting out the memories in his mind, Cheng Xiaolou also nodded approvingly, and decided to move the time to Longcheng a little later, and it would not be too late to go after attending the Liyuan Summit in Longzhong Province.

"Then you two hurry up and pack up, the registration for the pre-selection of Mianshan City has begun today, and when the time comes, not only the colleagues in the city will sign up, but also the servants in the county under the jurisdiction of Mianshan City will rush over. ”

Yu Lihong immediately got up from the stool, and urged the two of them to sign up quickly, as if they couldn't catch up if they were late.

"The county counterparts are also coming? That's really lively, when will the qualifiers start, and are there any rules?"

Cheng Xiaolou raised his eyebrows in surprise, for some reason, he didn't have much memory of the Liyuan Summit in his mind, but he probably had a vague impression, and the details were not clear.

"Boss Cheng, you really deserve to be the most popular corner in our Mianshan, you don't even know about the Liyuan Summit?!Isn't the pre-selection of each session carried out half a month before the start of the summit, when the Mianshan TV station, radio station, and major local websites will track and report the whole process, and the seniors and corners in the circle will attend, and even the official will send heavyweight officials to sit on the scene, and will also invite the most qualified seniors in the four industries of authoritative drama critics, playwrights, and Shengdan Jingchou to serve as judges. ”

Yu Lihong glanced at him speechlessly, and had to patiently elaborate on it.

"The ten Jiaoer who stand out from all the Lingers will each receive a prize of 100,000 yuan provided by the official, and the Jiaoer who wins the top spot in the qualifiers will also receive a prize of 500,000 yuan, and will receive a silver gun, a phoenix crown, a golden flower face and a jade nut that symbolize the highest honor of Mianshan Liyuan Xing. Usually, among the ten people who represent a city to participate in the provincial pear orchard summit, three are shengjiao and danjiao, and two are jingjiao and two harlequin. ”

When it came to the two keywords of 500,000 bonuses and phoenix crowns, Cheng Xiaolou saw that her eyes were shining, obviously coveting it.

He knows that the silver gun, phoenix crown, golden flower face and jade nut hat are the highest rewards for fans to be ugly, and they also symbolize honor and status.

"By the way, the qualifiers will be held for three days, one round a day, and each round will have to sing a different drama. So in addition to the play "Suo Lin Bag", you have to prepare two more plays. ”

After a pause, Yu Lihong reminded again.

"There are three plays to be sung? Okay, I know, let's go and sign up first, and talk as we go. ”

Cheng Xiaolou glanced at him in slight surprise, stood up and tidied up the cyan robe on his body and said.

Yu Lihong originally thought that she had come early enough, but when she arrived at the Mianshan Pear Garden Association, she found that there was already a long queue at the door of the registration office.

Some of the people in line she knew, some didn't, men, women, and children.

"It's only the first day of registration, there are so many people, and I only learned today that we have so many pear orchards in Mianshan City. ”

Looking at the queue of at least hundreds of people, Cheng Xiaolou was really surprised.

"You don't want to think about it, there are seven or eight theater gardens in Mianshan City that can accommodate thousands of people, and there are some small theater gardens that can seat 180 people. As far as I know, there are seven or eight hundred servants in Mianshan City, not counting the eighteen county towns under the jurisdiction of Mianshan, I estimate that there should be dozens of people in each county, and there are towns under the county seat, and there are three or five in each town. I estimate that there are at least two or three thousand people in the pear orchard in the entire Mianshan jurisdiction. ”

Yulihong lined up at the back of the line, counting down one by one with his fingers, and suddenly heard Cheng Xiaolou dumbfounded.

"There are only two or three thousand servants in Mianshan City alone? I will be obedient, and the total number of servants in the thirty-six cities in Longzhong must not be seventy or eighty thousand?

Cheng Xiaolou's brain teaser quickly came up with a number that made his scalp tingle.

What is the concept of three million servants......

And this is not counting playwrights and musicians, who specialize in costumes, props, and stage landscaping......

If you add up all the people involved in the entire industry, there may be more than 10 million employees.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xiaolou finally knew why Peking Opera in this world could develop to such an extent.

If you think about it the other way around, you will find that for such a large number of employees to survive, and many people can even live a very nourishing life, how many people must like this art to cultivate an environment that allows it to take root and flourish.

Cheng Xiaolou made a rough estimate and came to the conclusion that it was at least seven or eight billion.

And the whole of China is only 1.3 billion people!

"Whew...... This market is really huge and scary. ”

After getting a series of data, Cheng Xiaolou exhaled heavily, and became even more determined to leave Mianshan City and go outside.

"I think it must be Mei Lanfang, Cheng Yanqiu, Shang Xiaoyun, Xun Huisheng, Meng Xiaodong, Yang Xiaolou, Tan Xinpei, Yu Shuyan, Qilin Tong..... With the concerted efforts of these Chinese Peking Opera masters, they opened the door to pass through and sent me to this world, and to continue to carry forward their life's work in another way!"

Cheng Xiaolou glanced up at the morning sun above his head, and vaguely saw that a Peking Opera master who had long passed away seemed to be nodding and smiling at him in the sky, his smile was full of hope and expectation.

They seem to be saying: the centuries-old heritage and classics of Chinese Peking Opera art should not bloom in a small city with a population of only 400,000, but should be like the brightest star in the night sky, so that people all over the world can see, look up to her, and remember her......
