Chapter 109: The premiere of the "Heart to Heart" Art Troupe!
The selection took place for a whole day, and at nearly 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the list of finalists was finally posted on the bulletin board on the first floor of the Cultural Affairs Bureau.
Gao Li and Wang Baocheng are impressively listed, in addition, there is also Han Xuefei who plays the guzheng, two masters who play suona, Zhang Gensheng and Meng Dahai, two masters who play suona, Pang Dayuan and Li Guangming who play erhu, and more than a dozen singers who include popular and ethnic singing. The selection rate is very high, accounting for more than half of the participants.
At the time of selection, Jiang Ya and Liu Yufan grasped the scale relatively loosely, as long as they didn't look too amateurish, they were absorbed. After all, they also know that this performance is a public welfare surname, focusing on participation, everyone can come, and they do not report the purpose of making money, but take this opportunity and stage to increase some of their popularity in Fu'an. Most of these actors are not professional, there are teachers, folk artists, teachers who run their own art schools, and students who are studying in art colleges in other places.
In addition, some singers and musicians who were originally related to the Yafan Celebration, Jiang Ya also selected some to come in. In this way, the cast is relatively large, there are about nearly thirty, and in Fu'an, such a performance team can definitely be regarded as top-notch.
The candidates are decided, and the next step is to determine the program. The county is urging very tightly, and the first performance will take shape on Saturday. Although Jiang Ya knew that there were political factors in this, she still felt that the county did not respect objective facts. A complete show is not as simple as getting people together, and all factors need to be considered. The grass platform team that was built in a hurry will definitely have such and such problems. But she also knew what was at stake, and there was really no way to do it, so she had to be simple and in a hurry.
Fortunately, these actors each have a set of formed programs, and Jiang Ya didn't care about the details of the program, but just spent some thought on the arrangement and connection of the program.
After several days of hard work, I finally perfected a program before Saturday.
The premiere is still set in the county cinema in Fu'an.
Early in the morning of Saturday, more than ten propaganda vehicles appeared in the entire county of Fu'an. These cars are converted from ordinary pickup trucks with tweeters on them. There is only one piece of content played, at seven o'clock tonight, the Fu'an County "Heart to Heart" Art Troupe will hold a large-scale theatrical performance in the Fu'an County Cinema, the ticket is free, please go to watch.
The name of the "Heart to Heart" Art Troupe was Liu Yufan's idea, and he also borrowed it from CCTV's "Heart to Heart" Art Troupe. Although there are some suspicions of plagiarism, but fortunately, this is only a temporary surname performance, which lasted for less than a month, and it ended after a dozen performances, and I believe that no one will pursue his "piracy" problem.
There are free performances to watch, and the big guys are naturally happy, and there is a good project for leisure and summer. Just after five o'clock, you can see people on the street, either on bicycles, driving, or on foot, gathering in groups of three or five towards the cinema.
And the front door of the cinema has long been hung with a red banner of "Fu'an County Heart to Heart Art Troupe Premiere Ceremony", which is very atmospheric.
In the spacious hall of the cinema, the staff of the Yafan Festival are nervously adjusting the lights and sound. Although there are complete sets of equipment in the cinema, they are all old things from more than ten years ago, and the effect is terrible. Yafan's celebration, which plans to make a good person to the end, simply moved his own audio equipment. The speaker is a professional Budweiser stage audio imported from the United States, with a dual 15-inch speaker system to ensure that a good sound field effect can be obtained within 300 meters. The mixer and amplifier are also the latest Yamaha stage professional-grade equipment, and even the microphone used for the performance is a high-grade U-segment condenser microphone to ensure excellent sound quality.
Such a set of equipment, all purchased, will cost about 30,000 yuan. For the general small band or wedding, it is obviously unbearable, and generally they will only choose cheap domestic speakers, at most with a Yamaha mixer, there is a five or six thousand yuan down, although the sound is poor, but it can be barely used. However, as a high-end celebration service organization, such a sound system is almost the "standard" of Yafan Celebration, and each store is equipped with more than two sets of such equipment. In the flagship store in Fu'an, there is even a set of Gryphon top-level stage sound system originating in Denmark, which was specially imported from abroad for more than 300,000 yuan. Of course, for such a performance, neither Jiang Ya nor Liu Yufan was willing to take out that set of equipment. It is specially prepared for customers who have extremely high requirements for celebration performances, and the price of renting it out is as high as 5,000 yuan. With such a set of equipment, it is enough to amaze the audience.
At seven o'clock in a quarter of an hour, Minister Cai, accompanied by his secretary Wang Fei, Li Xiangdong of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and several deputy directors, came to the cinema.
The audience was already full of ordinary people waiting to watch the performance. For the arrival of several leaders, these people did not show much reaction, and most of them did not know who these people were, even if they saw that they were leaders, but they had nothing to do with themselves, so these people should still do what they should do.
Only those actors in the actor seat, when they saw the leader coming, they all rushed forward to say hello. Don't want money to perform for free, isn't the picture just to leave a good impression on the leader? Such an opportunity should naturally be seized.
Under the leadership of Jiang Ya and others, Minister Cai and several other leaders sat in the specially prepared leadership seat.
Jiang Ya is wearing a red evening dress decorated with small sequins today, and her big wavy hair is naturally draped over her shoulders, looking beautiful and generous, quite like a CCTV host.
"Minister Cai, can you start?" Seeing that the leaders were all seated, Jiang Ya asked.
"Let's get started, hehe." Cai Shouwen was in a very good mood, and waved his hand to Jiang Ya and said.
The stage lights were instantly bright, and a burst of passionate opening music came from the speakers. The unique transparent and atmospheric sound of Budweiser speakers immediately enveloped every corner of the cinema!
"Good evening, folks, folks!" Jiang Ya, who was wearing a red dress, walked to the side of the stage, and as soon as she appeared, her sweet voice and moving beauty immediately caused a burst of enthusiastic cheers and applause from the audience.
Jiang Ya is very well-known in Fu'an County, especially among those young unmarried men, and everyone knows about it. In their hearts, Jiang Ya is a goddess-like existence. At the beginning, they didn't know who the host of this show was, but when they saw that it was Jiang Ya, these people were immediately as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. Many people secretly regret not grabbing a seat in the front row, so it's good to bring a telescope.
"Today is the first performance of our Fu'an Lianxin Art Troupe. Our Fu'an County Heart-to-Heart Art Troupe was established in accordance with the requirements of the county party committee to go to the countryside, and its purpose is to send the latest and best theatrical performances to the masses and enrich everyone's amateur literary and artistic life. Our slogan is: Singing connects you, me and him, everyone is happy together! Come, please join me in shouting: the song connects you, me and him, everyone come to rejoice! ”
The contagiousness of the beautiful host is huge, looking at Jiang Ya's microphone stretched out to the audience, a warm response immediately sounded below:
The song connects you, me and him, everyone come to have fun together!
Most of the people who shouted were young people. If you want to say that in normal times, they will definitely not be too active in watching the excitement and participating in something like this, and they will have a good face. In front of the public, I was embarrassed to shout. But now, they shouted louder than anyone else, as if they were afraid that the beautiful hosts on the stage would not hear it.
Looking at this opening remark, Minister Cai smiled and nodded. This opening is good, very novel and lively, what was originally performed for the common people to see, it can't be too rigid, then it's not called literature and art going to the countryside. It seems that this Jiang Ya has a very accurate grasp of the positioning of the show.
Several other leaders also felt the same way, and they all lowered their heads and whispered, feeling very fresh that Jiang Ya did not read a bunch of high-sounding clichés at the beginning, but had a small interaction with the audience. This is a bold innovation!
And this beginning obviously won the favor and recognition of the audience. Don't look at it and simply shout a slogan, but after shouting, they feel as if they are not just sitting in the audience, but really participating in the performance.
This idea is naturally the credit of Liu Yufan. At present, this kind of literary and artistic performance in the countryside is not rare, but he knows that there will be more and more in the future. Different from large-scale performances, this kind of performance with zero contact with the audience should be lively in form, and secondly, let the audience participate more, so as to make the performance more infectious and successful. He remembered that there was an event of "Everyone Singing in Passion Square" on the Central Channel, and the host's performance was very good, using the language of the masses to communicate with the audience, and the effect of each performance was good. Although in the end, the audience did not actually participate much, but it made the audience show more interest in the performance.
"Okay, let's not talk about it now, and the wonderful program will be presented to you immediately. I know that in our Fu'an, there is a unique skill, that is, blowing the trumpet. Although there are masters all over the country, our horn in Fu'an is different from other places. In particular, we have a lot of masters, they are all top of their best, and then let's invite Zhang Gensheng and Meng Dahai to perform the trumpet trick for us with warm applause: pull out three sections!
"Wow~~~" Jiang Ya finished the curtain, and the audience immediately burst into warm applause. For blowing the trumpet, the people of Fu'an really like it very much, whether it is a wedding or funeral, there must be a trumpet. Those masters not only played well, but also had many tricks, which not only enjoyed listening, but also enjoyed watching. The two people Jiang Ya mentioned just now are two famous old artists who play trumpets in the Fu'an realm.
Zhang Gensheng and Meng Dahai each wore a white cardigan, and as soon as they came on stage, there was another round of warm applause.
The two glanced at each other and raised their horns at the same time in tacit understanding.
