Chapter 12: The Evening
The convoy of all-colored buses stopped at the entrance of the Yancheng Grand Theater, and almost every student's first action after getting off the bus was to look up.
Yancheng Grand Theater is one of the city's iconic buildings, and since its opening, it has mainly staged large-scale performances such as opera, ballet, and symphony, which can be called the perfect crystallization of architecture and art. In the past, when some well-known theater companies took the stage, it was often difficult to get a ticket.
"It's huge!" The boys said.
"It's magnificent, it's beautiful!" The girls chose to admire from another angle.
The electronic screen at the entrance of the theater typed the words "Chaoyang Middle School New Year's Day Party", and the background screen was a set of slides, including a panoramic view of the campus, a group photo of teachers and students, etc., the most eye-catching of which was a photo of Pan Dongdong's performance last year.
The one-man photo never appeared on the school's billboard, and the student council officer in charge of the photo at the time did not remember any such capture. The photographer captured the moment when Pan Dongdong jumped up in the solo dance, and the timing and angle were all impeccable. Pan Dongdong in the picture is like an elegant swan, with full wings, and the vivid beauty under the static is about to come out. Not only the Chaoyang teachers and students who just got off the bus, but even passers-by were gradually attracted by the girls on the big screen and cast amazing eyes.
"The pickled girl is so clever, I think it's only you." A boy next to Liang Min said enviously.
Liang Min smiled faintly and didn't take a stubble. There is never a shortage of followers around him, and he has to listen to it dozens of times a day like this, and he has long been tired of it. This small arrangement is just one step in many links, he likes tepid expressions, and only hopes that Pan Dongdong will notice his painstaking efforts.
There was indeed a stir in the 3rd class of the sophomore year.
"Ahh Wang Juan is indeed worthy of the title of "Fierce Donkey", and a scream is full of penetration even in a noisy environment, "Dongdong, you are so beautiful!" Oh my God, if only I could be on such a big screen! β
"If your picture were on it, I'd die." The boy next to her suddenly looked at her affectionately.
"Fascinated?" Sister Fierce Donkey is quite shy.
"Stick yourself in the eyes and die." The boy replied coldly.
In the laughter, Pan Dongdong looked at himself on the electronic screen, his face was a little pale. Last year's solo dance won the first prize, and this year's modern dance drama is several levels higher in difficulty, she plays two roles by herself, and every rehearsal always has problems with one of the roles.
Now she was nervous, but there was no one to talk to. When I called my mother in the car, I just said lightly that the family was ready to celebrate her when the party was over. As for what to celebrate, his mother didn't say, but Pan Dongdong couldn't be clearer.
Is the first so important? What if I can't get it?
Pan Dongdong was upset, and Mu Ran followed the footsteps of the classmates around him. It wasn't until I walked into the Grand Theater and was in the 800-seat main hall that I came back to my senses. Not far away, a group of giggling and squackering guys attracted her attention, and there was a familiar figure sitting there in the fourth class of the sophomore year, looking out of place with the crowd around him.
"Stinky perverts get nervous too?" Pan Dongdong was slightly surprised, but when he saw that guy inadvertently turned his head, he immediately glared at the other party.
Chen Mo was stunned, and quickly retracted his gaze, and at the same time heard a greeting from behind: "Hey, who is that, a righteous and courageous part-time work expert!" I heard that you also have a show to perform, are you going to go up and move bricks as a migrant worker? Ha ha! β
All the boys in the 206 dormitory stared at the back together, and when they saw that it was the senior party who was speaking, and then looked at them, Wang Fatzi and Xiao Siyan immediately became deflated balls, and turned back stupidly.
"If there are no migrant workers moving bricks, what do you live in?" Chen Mo said lightly.
The person who made a provocative speech sat next to Liang Min, and when he heard that Chen Mo actually dared to fight back, he looked a little incredulous, and immediately stood up, as if he wanted to come over and teach him a lesson. Liang Min stretched out his hand to stop the guy and smiled at Chen Mo, "Junior brother, you have a good temper!" β
"I'm telling the truth." Chen Mo tugged at the corners of his mouth and returned a sneer.
After the Ares robot is completely fused with its body, it will toss him from time to time even during the day. From the moment he walked into the theater, Chen Mo felt that the muscles of his left forearm seemed to be alive, twitching there with unprecedented vigor, and he was already holding back cold sweat all over his body. It is said that people with toothaches are angry, and the pain he is enduring is undoubtedly a hundred times more than a toothache, and when he saw the guy who was looking for a toothache sitting with Liang Min, he already understood something to some extent.
"I'm in my third year of high school, and I don't have time to schedule a show. But even if we don't win, it's probably not easy for you to win the prize! Liang Min said loudly, as if he was afraid that he wouldn't hear, "Why don't we make a bet, I know you don't have any money, so let's bet a dime!" I bet that even if your class pushes you up this year, you won't get the award, and Old Tang will still be disgraced and faceless. β
"Does the participation prize count?" The fat man asked cautiously.
"What do you say?" Liang Min laughed.
Chen Mo glanced at the head teacher sitting in a group of young teachers, Lao Tang's old tunic was still so conspicuous, sitting there with a straight waist and a straight waist, and his hair combed back meticulously. Including the black silk female head teacher of Pan Dongdong's class, several teachers who had worked the class program were happily discussing something around him, but no one talked to him.
Old Tang naturally has nothing to participate in the discussion, those homeroom teachers can throw students money on the costumes of the performance, and he never even charges class fees. He was too old, and he sat there alone no matter how he looked, as if he was completely disconnected from the whole environment.
"I'll bet with you, but not for money." Chen Mo said suddenly.
"So what to bet on?" Liang Min came to be interested.
"If you lose, the trouble starts today, don't fucking pretend to be in front of me. Is Old Don your name? Disrespecting the teacher makes you look good?! Chen Mo's words made everyone around him stunned.
Liang Min was stunned, and then shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Okay, if I win the bet, you have to give me a bare ass crawl around the school!" β
Chen Mo didn't even bother to reply to him this time, nodded and leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes.
"I heard that the class that won the first prize this time even has a bonus for the teacher, and the other classes have invested in the show, can you do it?" The fat man asked quietly.
"If it doesn't work, you have to try." Chen Mo exhaled a breath of turbidity. If it weren't for the face of the head teacher, he would never be interested in making such a naΓ―ve bet with others.
"Anyway, when it's time for you to perform, even if the audience boos you down, our brothers will support you to the end!" The fat man patted him on the shoulder, and Xiao Siyan and the others also looked at him with farewell eyes.
"your grandma!" Chen Mo was angry and funny.
After the three floors of the grandstand were almost full, the "hum" in the Grand Theater began to gradually subside. President Li took the stage to speak as usual, and he spoke at an extremely long time as usual. He was dressed in a suit today, and his gaze from the audience was as kind as that of a reporter.
ββ¦β¦ Finally, I would like to add one more point, students. Half an hour later, Principal Li took out a boxy handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
There was a stirring in the audience, and everyone knew that his mantra symbolized the beginning of another tirade.
"This time, Chaoyang Middle School held a New Year's Day party at the Yancheng Grand Theater, which was the first time since the establishment of the school. I would like to give a special thanks to Liang Min, a student from Class 1 of Senior 3, because of his generous help, the Grand Theatre is only open to teachers and students of our school today! Principal Li took the lead in applauding and smiling.
More than 1,000 students in the junior high school and high school were in an uproar, and then they realized that it was Liang Min who had chartered the scene!
"My mother, how much does this cost!"
"If you have money, you may not be able to afford it, I guess my family still has the strength."
"Senior Liang Min is so handsome......"
Amidst all kinds of exclamations, Liang Min sat up straight, glanced around, and smiled appropriately.
"Is she looking at me?" Liang Min only had this one thought in his heart, but he forced himself not to look at Pan Dongdong's position. He originally wanted to throw a flying kiss to Chen Mo, but the other party didn't even return his head, which made him a little disappointed.
"Next, I announce the official start of the New Year's Day party of Chaoyang Middle School!" President Li finally finished his speech. The two male and female hosts of the student union walked side by side, the girl had a thin waist and long legs, and a sweet voice, which caused a whistle as soon as she spoke.
The show took the stage one after another, and a few guys in the 206 dormitory clapped their hands when they saw the girls on stage, and the boys applauded when they came on stage, until they provoked the teacher to look at them angrily.
At this moment, only Chen Mo's mind was not on the stage at all, and when the more than ten girls in Class 3 walked to the backstage from the side aisle, he noticed Pan Dongdong's strange expression, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Domineering girls are also nervous?" Chen Mo thought he was dazzled.
Pan Dongdong noticed something, and quickly cast his gaze, and just wanted to glare at him again, but saw Chen Mo smiling stupidly at him, his teeth were dazzlingly white.
"Come on!" Chen Mo gave her a thumbs up.
Pan Dongdong looked around quickly, pouted, secretly returned one of his middle fingers, pushed the girl in front of him, and walked lightly, his bundled ponytail jumped and jumped as if he was demonstrating.
The smile on Chen Mo's face suddenly turned into embarrassment. Is there such a big feud? He was helpless.
Liang Min, who was sitting in the back, didn't see Pan Dongdong's small movements, but he took in the eyes of the two of them, and his expression became extremely gloomy.
Every year on New Year's Day, the teachers will be on the show, and this time as soon as King Luo Yan, dressed in a warlord uniform, appeared on stage, all the students in the audience were suddenly silent, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh. King Luo Yan and the other two teachers performed Peking Opera, singing an excerpt from "Wisdom Fight" in "Shajiabang", Lao Luo pretended to be Commander Hu, with his chest and belly and staring at the image of triangular eyes.
"I think back then, Lao Tzu's team was only opened...... "King Luo Yan usually likes to hum Peking Opera, which was originally his specialty repertoire. At this moment, as soon as the word "Lao Tzu" came out, the posture lit up, and it was really a fusion of the singing charm and his own fierce atmosphere.
The vast majority of the boys in the audience couldn't hold back anymore and applauded.
King Luo Yan was triumphant and took a step forward, "There are only a dozen birdmen and seven or eight guns!" β
In the original lyrics, it is "more than a dozen people", and most of the folk like to sing "more than a dozen birdmen", at this moment, King Luo Yan accidentally appeared "birds", which immediately made the students laugh, and the noise almost lifted the roof of the Grand Theater.
Principal Li, who was sitting in the VIP seat, wiped his sweat and peeked left and right, only to see that the leaders of the Education Bureau who had been invited all had strange faces and twisted muscles in their cheeks, obviously struggling to endure it.
finally waited for Lao Luo to go down, and the junior high school students came up and performed a few more shows. Principal Li looked at the list in hand, coughed dryly, and said with a smile: "Money Bureau, this is good next, you might as well take a look." β
"Oh?" The leaders of the Education Bureau squinted, showing little interest in his special recommendation.
"The next program is the modern dance drama "Light and Darkness" brought to us by Class 3 of the second year of high school, everyone is welcome!" The host's announcement sparked the warmest applause since the beginning of the party, and several drowsy people in the VIP seats also sat up straight.
From the stage to the auditorium, the lights went out one by one, and in the darkness, the low tickling of the crowd was like the wind across the lake.
There was a soft "pop", and a spotlight hit the center of the stage.
The crimson curtain slowly lifted, and an angelic dancer stood alone, wings dreamlike in the pale halo of light. After a half-minute silence, the melodious sound of the violin resounded through the JBL stereo.
