Chapter Twenty-Three: This Is a Good Seedling!
The county cinema is located on Honglingscarf Road near a small county and is a two-story building with gray tones as the main body, which can accommodate 800 people to watch movies at the same time, which can be said to be a considerable building in this era.
At this time, there was no dedicated hall or auditorium in the prefecture, so most of the county's large-scale meetings and performances were held here.
When Li Yanhong took more than 20 students over, the small square in front of the movie theater was already densely packed with students and teachers, and of course, there were vendors selling all kinds of snacks and ordinary people watching the excitement.
The children were very excited, chasing around in bright costumes, and parents with cameras at home were busy taking pictures of the children participating in the performance, creating a festive atmosphere.
The performance team in the garrison camp was obviously infected by the atmosphere here, but fortunately they were quite obedient and did not run around. It seems that Li Yanhong's words are still very binding.
The show was scheduled to open at half past eight, and at half past seven, the doors of the cinema opened, and under the command of the staff at the gate, the performance teams from various towns and villages rushed in.
"Wow, it's so big here."
"The chairs in the cinema are so beautiful."
"Look at the lights on the stage, it's so bright, and there's a painting in the back."
The children who entered the cinema looked around as if they had entered the Grand View Garden, and from time to time they exclaimed in amazement.
And Li Yanhong, who was at the forefront, looked back from time to time to emphasize discipline, and she really felt a little ashamed to see these children making a fuss. Really, isn't it a county movie theater?
Seeing a woman in a small brown suit in front of her, Li Yanhong's eyes lit up, and she didn't care about looking at the students, so she walked a few steps quickly and rushed over.
"Director Jiang, it's so early." Li Yanhong greeted with a cautious flattering look on her face.
"Ah, it's Teacher Liu, you guys came quite early, what about the children?" The woman spoke very kindly, with a kind smile on her beautiful face.
"Over there." Li Yanhong turned around and pointed to the location of Liu Yufan and the others.
"Yo, there are a lot of people, a few shows." The woman who was called "Director Jiang" by Liu Yanhua glanced over here and asked casually.
"Three programs, by the way, Director Jiang, is there time for the end of the performance in a while? Let's have a meal together. Li Yanhong lost no time in pulling closely.
"Hehe, no, no, the unit has an arrangement, next time." Director Jiang said with a smile.
In fact, this is just a polite remark, Li Yanhong knew in her heart that people would not go with her, but just took the opportunity to have a relationship with the leader.
The two chatted for a few words, Director Jiang left under the pretext of leaving in advance, and Li Yanhong turned around and beckoned the students to walk towards the position of the actor. Looking at Director Jiang's back as she turned to leave, there was a look of envy in her eyes. Director Jiang's full name is Jiang Ya, two years younger than Li Yanhong, but he is already the deputy director of the teaching and research department of the county education bureau, and he has a lot of real power in his hands, and he is also a well-known beauty in the education system. Li Yanhong tried hard to have a good relationship with her, but she also had the idea of going to the city. It's just that this thing is very difficult to operate, and it can't be done in one or two sentences.
At half past eight in the morning, the county show started on time.
The first was the speech of the director of the county education bureau. The director's surname is Pan, and he is a small man, and his voice is quite loud when he speaks. Compared with Director Wang, Director Pan speaks for a longer time, which is also a common practice, and it seems that if you don't talk a little longer, you can't show the level of leadership.
The first program is the opening gong and drum of Donglin Township. More than a dozen children dressed in bright red costumes, beating more than a dozen drums together, plus the accompanying dancers in the back, looked very lively. This is also the general arrangement method of theatrical performances, first using drumming, singing and dancing to warm up the scene, and then other types of programs.
Several program positions in Zhumaying Town are not too good, either too far forward or too far back, generally speaking, such positions are not easy to get high scores. Generally speaking, for such a performance with the quality of the selection surname, the good appearance position will be occupied by those units that have a good relationship with the organizer.
The second program to appear is the group dance "I Love You China" in Shanghe Township, and the girls dancing are very tall, and they are middle school students at first glance. Shanghe Township is a strong literary and artistic township, it is said that their music instructor is very powerful, is a professional class, Liu Yufan listened to the conversation of other people on the side, and then watched the performance on the stage, I feel that the arrangement is indeed good.
The warm applause after the song and dance once again proved this, looking at the front row judges constantly nodding their heads, I think the score of this show will not be too low.
The judges are all invited from the county cultural center and teaching and research department, which can be regarded as representing the "highest level" of the literary and artistic circles in Fu'an County, there are a total of nine people, and each person has a program list and a pen in front of him for scoring.
After watching this dance, Liu Yufan said a word to Li Yanhong, and then got up and went to the waiting venue with his accompanying dancer. He is the fourth to appear, and the third show is "Three and a Half Sentences", and it won't take too long to think about it.
"Next, please enjoy the male solo "Our Field", the curtain is a tall girl, wearing white pants, and her face is not painted with red blush, it seems that the aesthetics of the county are still stronger than those in the town, and the children's faces have not become monkey butts one by one.
Originally, Li Yanhong was also going to ask Liu Yufan to paint makeup, but Liu Yufan didn't agree, although it was for the needs of stage performances, but he wanted to make himself a big man, oh no, a big boy painted that kind of makeup, Liu Yufan really couldn't accept it. Fortunately, Li Yanhong didn't insist too much, in her opinion, Liu Yufan is not her student, and she doesn't need to manage too much, anyway, when the time comes, his performance is not good, and he can't blame himself.
The crew moved a Yamaha PSR-180 electronic organ to center stage. This was also arranged in advance, and the county provided an electronic piano for the performance team that needed to be accompanied by the piano, but when Liu Yufan asked to play and sing, he still met the staff's suspicious eyes. A teenage elementary school student actually wants to play and sing by himself? Does he have such a level?
Sure enough, when they saw the electronic piano in the center position, the audience below also raised their interest. After all, before this, it was rare to play and sing by yourself, and generally solo singing was accompanied by accompaniment.
Actually, Liu Yufan didn't want to do this, although it was not difficult for him to play and sing this simple song, but after all, it was not as comfortable as following the accompaniment, and many gestures could not be made. But the county has a word in advance, only providing on-site pianos, and it is not possible to use them in advance, so Liu Yufan can't record the accompaniment into the piano first.
"Well, it would be nice to find an accompaniment band." Liu Yufan thought helplessly.
Coming to the center of the stage, the bright stage lights shone on his face and on the keys of the PSR-180 in front of him. Looking at this electronic piano, Liu Yufan was a little excited, this is also the best piano he has touched since he was reborn.
Compared with many domestic pianos, the timbre and touch of the Yamaha electronic organ are indeed much better, which is not to say that Liu Yufan is not patriotic and does not support domestic electronic organs, but at this stage, it is difficult for China to come up with a product that can be compared with the Yamaha series of electronic organs.
Of the nine judges, Jiang Ya sat in the middle, and at this moment, she was looking at the big boy on the stage with great interest.
"Do you want to play and sing? It's really rare, and I don't know who taught the students, so let's see how well you play. Jiang Ya is also a graduate of the Normal University, and her artistic performance in the school is very good, so she was selected by the Education Bureau as soon as she graduated, and was drawn to the teaching and research group of the teaching and research department of music and physical beauty. Even the professionals of the cultural center sitting next to her are not necessarily higher than Jiang Ya's attainments in music, and it can be said that among these nine people, Jiang Ya is an absolute authority.
Liu Yufan calmed down his mood, looked at his side, the backup dance was ready, and skillfully pressed a few function keys on the control panel of the piano to adjust the timbre, dynamics and sustain, and then began to play.
The hands gently fall on the keys, and the right hand plays a bright prelude in the high register, under the flowing arpeggios of the left hand.
"Yo, this kid doesn't play the piano ordinarily." As soon as she heard a prelude, Jiang Ya's expression became focused. The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. Don't look at the performance of only one beginning and a few bars, but how deep Liu Yufan's kung fu is, Jiang Ya immediately heard it.
The dynamics are even, the layers are clear, and what is even more rare is that he plays so emotionally, how old is he, and he actually has such a good feeling in music?
Looking at the child on the stage, who was only about one meter four tall, Jiang Ya felt a little incredible.
"Our field, beautiful field......" The crisp and clean children's voice sounded, with the accompaniment like flowing water, showing a picturesque field scenery in front of everyone.
Coupled with the accompanying dance in the back, the whole show gives people a feeling of spring breeze, and people seem to fly out of the theater and to the field with Liu Yufan's singing, enjoying the beautiful and charming spring light in the wild.
"There is still no main melody accompaniment, and this child's sense of rhythm is also top-notch!" Jiang Ya couldn't help but sit up straight, and her gaze at Liu Yufan became eager. She intuitively felt that she had found a good seedling.
At the same time, in the corner of the actor's seat under the stage, a little girl wearing a white dress and a refreshing ponytail also stared at the boy on the stage curiously.
"Yo, Siying, what's wrong." Seeing this, a middle-aged beautiful woman in her thirties next to her asked with concern.
"Not much, I don't want to act." The girl pursed her cute little mouth and said angrily.
"I've been practicing for more than a month, how can I say that if I don't act, I won't act? Isn't it uncomfortable. The middle-aged beauty asked nervously.
"Oh, what, people aren't uncomfortable, it's just that person is so annoying, he actually sings the same song as others, he has sung it, how can I sing it." The little girl snorted angrily and pointed to Liu Yufan, who was singing energetically on the stage.
