【Chapter 142】 Artistic performance
Construction projects in China have always been indispensable for all kinds of grand ceremonies, and officials are very keen to hold various activities to show their political achievements.
As a key project at the end of this year, the highway construction in Liangcun is also unavoidable, and the leaders of the county and town hope to hold a lively groundbreaking ceremony to lay the foundation for the project. However, the county leaders were not too bureaucratic, and all the boring speeches were arranged, and in order to attract the attention of the masses, the groundbreaking ceremony was mixed with a variety of activities.
In this kind of key project, as the main force of Qingshan County's theatrical performances, Qingshan County Art Troupe will naturally not miss it. Under the instructions of the leader, they almost all went out and arrived in Qingyun Town with a large amount of performance equipment.
In normal times, it is difficult for the people in the countryside to have few opportunities to watch theatrical performances, and there are very few entertainment activities. 'A pool of stagnant water' can be used to describe the usual spiritual life of tens of thousands of people in Qingyun Town.
Therefore, the arrival of the county art troupe this time made the whole Qingyun boil!
After the boring groundbreaking ceremony during the day, the masses are looking forward to the evening theatrical performances, which simply regards the arrival of this art troupe as a grand festival.
Qingyun, who usually rarely moves, the crowd is quite excited, and the opening of the conversation is the upcoming program of the art troupe, and everyone meets to watch the program at the middle school in the town in the evening.
It seems that God also thinks that the masses of Qingyun have not seen wonderful literary and artistic programs for a long time, and they are particularly gracious.
It was just over five o'clock, and every household in Qingyun and the surrounding Liang Village had already made dinner in advance, and the smoke rose in the clear sky, condensing but not dissipating. The dolls, who used to be very noisy, became much more well-behaved, and instead of playing crazy in the yard dam and the barn field, they stayed quietly at home and waited for dinner.
However, their eyes looked out of the door from time to time, always worried that other partners would leave first, and their hearts naturally felt like they were being tickled by cats, and they were a little restless. For children, watching movies and performances is actually a grand festival, but sometimes it may not be possible to meet once in several years.
The housewives who were cooking were also in a much better mood, their steps were brisk, their mouths were humming a little ballad, and they seemed to be several years younger. Usually they are busy taking care of their husbands and children all day long, honoring the elderly, and having to take care of housework, so busy that they can't touch the ground, how can they ever have leisure time?
Nowadays, it is rare to have such an opportunity, so it is natural to go to see the performance and feel the cheerful feeling of being young.
The man in the prime of life sat on the threshold, leaned on the door frame, looked at his well-behaved and naughty son, and then turned to look at his virtuous wife who was busy. For the vast majority of country men, having a warm home, with wives and children, and hot kang heads for wives and children is the lifelong pursuit of many people.
I took a puff of hookah, and the smoke erupted, outlining the eyes very beautifully.
Such scenes are constantly played out in most of Qingyun's families, although some details are different, but the meaning of happiness is not different.
In order to welcome the performance of the art troupe, Qingyun's mass life and rest were obviously advanced by about two hours.
As time passed, the children could no longer sit still, ate two mouthfuls of food hastily, and then slipped out of the house amid their father's stern gaze and their mother's kind smile. When they walked out of the courtyard gate, they couldn't help but smile at each other when they saw that their partners were also going out at the same time. They were like free-range goats, and they immediately ran wildly, and the sound of crisp laughter spread throughout the village.
From time to time, they climb trees on the side of the road, either pick up stones and throw them down to a nearby ditch, or break off branches to chase and fight, for children, enjoying theatrical performances is not the point, the important thing is to be able to spend an uncontrolled evening with their friends.
The sound of innocent laughter was like a signal, which made the otherwise quiet village a little restless, and everyone walked out of their homes and towards the town's middle school.
The big girl and the little daughter-in-law chattered together, looking forward to the evening show, and talking about the east and west families. For them, who are usually very busy, tonight is a good opportunity to communicate with each other.
The heads of the families are also in groups of three or five, discussing the latest agricultural affairs and new things in the town, and exchanging tips such as hunting and fishing. Although they are the pillars of the family, both old and young, they cannot erase their optimistic surname, and always hope to enjoy life as much as possible between heavy farm work.
Ordinary leisure activities such as singing, dancing or bowling are more elegant activities such as singing, dancing or bowling, and the way villagers relax is often practical and fun.
Whether it's fishing or hunting in the mountains, villagers can improve their meals for their families while relaxing, which is very rural. In rural areas, it is often those who are energetic and skilled in fishing and hunting to become the focus and leader of their partners.
For example, Wang Huaan, he has a high popularity among his partners, not only because the Wang family is a big family in Liang Village, not only because Wang Huaguo is the village party secretary, but also because of his personal strength. Wang Huaan is not only a beautiful worker, a big farmer, but more importantly, he has superb hunting skills under Zhang Huaizhong.
Since he was a child, his hunting skills have impressed his friends, and he has gradually cultivated enough prestige.
Not only did the young people happily rush to Qingyun Junior High School, but even some elderly people put on their new clothes, dressed up energetically, and made an appointment to go to the play together. Perhaps for these elderly people, participating in such an event once will be less than once, how can they not cherish it?
In this way, the performance of the Qingshan County Art Troupe has not yet started, and it has already stirred up clouds in all directions and is lively.
When the afterglow of the sun reflected the western sky in a red, extremely beautiful, all the cast and crew of the Qingshan County Art Troupe were making final preparations for the performance.
Over the years, under the impact of a large number of film and television works and TV programs, the Castle Peak Art Troupe, which was originally popular with the masses, has increasingly felt the pressure of the market. Under the intersection of various circumstances, the art troupe has begun to make ends meet, and the salary can no longer be paid in full. At the same time, the loss of excellent talent has further aggravated the decline of the art troupe.
In the past few years, the art troupe has performed in the county with few audiences, and it already has the feeling of being a thin mountain.
However, this time, the art troupe that was assigned by the county leaders to come to Qingyun to perform felt a completely different atmosphere from the county seat.
This kind of difference, Liao Hui, the head of the art troupe, feels the deepest!
In the past, when performing in the county seat, it was often after the performance began that the audience would lazily walk into the venue and watch absentmindedly. In this cold atmosphere, the actors really don't have any passion for acting and creating, and the performance is more superficial and perfunctory.
In this world, many things are often a cycle of evil, and the worse it is, the worse it gets.
However, after coming to Qingyun, Liao Hui immediately felt the enthusiasm of the people of Qingyun. Unlike in the past, when they were given a cold reception in other places, as soon as they got off the bus, the people of Qingyun were very enthusiastic to help the actors of the art troupe unload all kinds of equipment and move them to the backstage.
After eating a sumptuous dinner full of mountain and forest characteristics, Liao Hui saw that villagers arrived at the venue one after another, waiting for the performance to begin. Liao Hui hasn't seen this kind of scene for several years, and at this moment, he really recalls the glory of the previous art troupe.
As time went by, more and more men, women, and children rushed to Qingyun Junior High School, and they all looked black and swarthy from the stage.
Although the show has not yet begun, there are more than 1,000 people in the junior high school, and they are all looking forward to the wonderful performances of the actors.
The laughter of children, the coughing of old people, and the conversation of young people all come together and become very noisy. However, to Liao Hui's ears, it was like heaven!
After being snubbed for many years, Liao Hui suddenly realized that he had gone in the wrong direction before.
In the past, Liao Hui always thought that the consumption level in the city was higher, and the masses had a stronger demand for theatrical performances and a stronger consumption capacity. As everyone knows, the people in the city have already developed their appetite because they have been exposed to more performance modes, and they are already a little disdainful of this little dish of the Tsingshan Art Troupe.
On the contrary, due to the scarcity of entertainment facilities and programs, the people in the countryside do not have too strong immunity to various performances, and often look forward to seeing live performances.
After figuring out this festival, Liao Hui knew that he should pay more attention to the rural market in the future, create novel programs that farmers like to see, and let the art troupe glow with a second spring.
Not to mention Liao Hui, who was standing at the exit of the backstage, the crowd gathered more and more, some of them brought their own benches, some took out the chairs and benches from the classroom, and some went up to the teaching building and stood on the railing to hold their positions. Even more outrageous were some dolls, who climbed the tall mango trees and looked through the gaps in the leaves at the empty stage.
The villagers were fixed on the Republic stage, and just the high-pitched sound began to play music, which was enough to make the villagers feel inexplicably excited. Perhaps for the villagers, this kind of live feeling cannot be experienced by watching TV.
Seeing that the enthusiasm of the villagers was beyond imagination, the organizers were worried about accidents, so they could only ask the village officials to come forward to restrain the behavior of the villagers, hoping that the whole viewing process would be carried out in a happy and peaceful manner.
As night fell, the colorful lights on the stage began to light up, which caused the villagers to be tickled, and everyone had more expectations for the next performance.
With the two presenters wearing heavy makeup starting to appear, tonight's performance officially kicked off!
