505 The Road to a Strong Country

I don't know if it's a coincidence or destiny, or Cai Yan has a soft spot for the number "eighteen". Her "Ni Dress and Feather Coat" and the historical "Eighteen Beats of Hu Ji" have a total of eighteen beats, that is, eighteen chapters. It narrates 18 stories, such as "Nuwa's Creation of the World", "Nuwa Mending the Sky", "Nuwa Helping Dayu to Control the Water", "Shang Moved the Capital to Yin", "After the King of Shang Provoked Nuwa, King Wu Fell", "The Spring and Autumn War Achievements Rose Together, and Qin Shi Huang Ruled the World", so as to interpret the development process of the entire Chinese civilization.

Eighteen beats of music, or solemn shock or melodious and pleasant, or fierce and uplifting or bleak and touching, or sonorous or gentle and soft...... The tone is sometimes like the galloping of thousands of horses on the battlefield, and sometimes it is like the prosperity of the prosperous era and the harmony of a hundred birds; Sometimes it is like a mountain crying for joy, and sometimes it is like a sad day! The plot was full of ups and downs, and the audience present cheered for the prosperity of the prosperous era, worried and wept for the battlefield of tragic casualties, indignant for the plundering of the Hu people, and blamed themselves for the evil consequences of cannibalism.

"Neon Clothes and Feathers" is such a tangled and grand track that people have to admire.

The eighteenth beat of the piece is the last and longest section. Surprisingly, the backdrop of this eighteenth shot is not a painting, but a huge glass mirror.

The mirror faces the audience, so what is reflected in the mirror is all the spectators present.

Since then, the music has entered the **, and more than 100 instruments have been voiced at the same time, and the sound is surging.

"The war is over, and the world is unified; Your Majesty is wise and wise, and the people are peaceful; Take history as a mirror and prosper all people...... The empire is strong, and all nations come to congratulate ......"

Only then did people understand that these eighteen beats were talking about the current Holy Yuan era of the Holy Chinese Empire. Because we are talking about the present, we do not use a painted background cloth, but use a mirror to reflect the people of the present, and the audience of the present is regarded as the background of the times.

The idea came from Luan Yi, who wanted to make the audience feel that they were not just spectators, but participants. They are part of the "Neon Clothes and Feathers" and are part of the Holy Chinese Empire.

Obviously, his purpose was achieved. Seeing themselves in the mirror as one of the elements of the stage made the audience excited, and they would have exclaimed if it weren't for the big "quiet" words on the theater wall.

What made them even more excited was that the eighteenth beat was so beautiful and gorgeous, with the orderly orchestra inputting the surging notes into the ears of the audience, and then reflecting in their minds a beautiful picture of a peaceful and prosperous world. (Cotton, flower 'sugar' small 'say')

Since then, the music has entered the **, and has been rising wave after wave...... Wave after wave, a strong sense of excitement rose in the hearts of all people, their faces were full of red light, and their eyes were moistened with tears of excitement.

The music comes to an abrupt end here, with only a prelude and **, and no ending - because the prosperity itself is not over, it will continue, a hundred years, a thousand years.

The music stopped for a long time, and people were still silent in the memories of the music. "Only an empire can have such beautiful music...... Only the Empire. ”

Hearing the sound of Cai Yan's baton beating the music fight, people recovered from the shock, with tears of excitement on their faces, and they all stood up to applaud Cai Yan and her band.

"Long live the Empire, long live Your Majesty!" One person raised his head, and the people in the theater echoed from afar, raising his right arm and shouting. The atmosphere was so hot that even the bitter winter and those Hu people and people from the Western Regions who were doing business in Luoyang shouted along with it.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live it."

The tsunami lasted for more than half an hour before people could hold back their excitement.

Luan Yi opened the curtain of the box and waved to the people who were full of expectation, "Long live China, long live the empire!" After speaking, he took the lead and left the field under the escort of his own guards.

Then, Cai Yan came to the front desk again and reported a good news to the people who were still unsatisfied. For the next three months, the Imperial Coliseum will present "The Feather Dress" once a week, and those who haven't heard enough or haven't heard it can buy tickets to listen to it. If you miss it this year, don't worry, "Ni Dress and Feather Coat" will be on the stage of the Imperial Theater again in the spring of next year. In addition, as soon as the March deadline for "Ni Clothes and Feathers" expires, the Imperial Theatre will perform a piece written by His Majesty the Pope himself, and the name of the piece is "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", so stay tuned.

As soon as you hear "The Feather Dress", it will be performed continuously, and for three months, there will be a piece of music written by the Pope himself, and the audience will be full of light in their eyes.

Of course, the most excited are the owners of the boxes, because it means that their boxes are not a one-time investment, but they can hear such a good song and such a good play every week, and it is worth the extra money.

The premiere of "The Feather Coat" was a great success, and its significance can be described as epoch-making. It is not only a representative of the fusion of Eastern and Western music, but also creates a new art form of opera, and presents new interesting points and conversation points for the people of the empire, who are desperately short of entertainment.

It is true that the high ticket prices of the Imperial Theatre made it inaccessible to the common people, who made up the majority of the population of the Empire. But don't forget, capital always flows to new and valuable things.

It's like an opera. After witnessing the beauty of opera, many private capital forces immediately realized the value contained in it. As a result, small theaters have sprung up in various states and counties, some of which imitate the decoration of the Imperial Theater and invite well-known local folk artists to compose songs; Others just put up a cloth fence on a sunny day, set up a stage, and let the band play the piano and sing; There are also taverns, on the basis of the original cross talk and storytelling, invite two musicians and two singers, and also join in the fun...... And so on.

But no matter what, the empire's music, dance, and singing careers have embarked on a vigorous road under the leadership of the Imperial Theater.

As the saying goes, culture and sports are not separated, literature and art are not as fast as the fast lane of development, and sports naturally cannot be left behind. Therefore, after the Imperial Theater was officially put into operation, Luan Yi surrendered his attention to the Imperial Arena located in the southeast of the Grand Theater, and in the same year announced that the Imperial Household Department would host the Imperial Keju Tournament of the Holy Lady's Cup.

Since this was the first large-scale competitive sports tournament to be held in the Empire, it was necessary to avoid management problems due to lack of experience. Luan Yi limited the scope of participation in the first Keju competition to the area of Chang'an and Luoyang, and then pulled other states and counties into the cup competition when he had experience in the future, and even allowed other subject countries to join the empire's Keju Cup, and even opened a special Keju World Cup.

In his previous life, as a pseudo-fan, Luan Yi was very disappointed in the Chinese men's football team. In this world, both the venue and the rules are determined by the empire, and he does not believe that the Chinese nation's Keju cannot be the king and hegemon in the world.

Kemari was a sporting and entertainment sport with a long history in the Empire, and it was popular with the people of the Empire for a long time. Especially in recent years, with Luan Yi introducing the five-a-side juju competition into the army, this rule has also become active among the people, and a large number of juju enthusiasts have been cultivated in various states of the empire.

Taking Luan Yi as an example, there are two directly subordinate Keju teams, one is the Imperial Royal Keju Team, whose members are Luan Yi's personal soldiers, and it is a semi-professional team established with Luan Yi's support. In addition to the military salary issued by the imperial court on weekdays, Luan Yi will also give the players an extra part of the subsidy as a reward for the players, and they usually take an extra hour and a half to train their skills in addition to duty, and the training place is in the school field in the back garden of the Papal Palace.

Luan Yi's other team is the Luanjia Chamber of Commerce Keju Team, whose members are craftsmen or laborers in his Chamber of Commerce. They have nothing to do on weekdays, they will play in the open space of the factory for a while, and after playing for a long time, they will form a team to compete with other workshops in Luoyang factory, and the wins are far more than the losses, since then they have become famous in Luoyang, and even Luan Yi has heard their name. So he injected a sum of money into them for training, and developed it into a professional team raised by the Luan Family Chamber of Commerce.

Keju is very popular with the public, and Luan Yi has a source of participants in the regional Keju competition. In order to attract the majority of Keju enthusiasts to participate, Luan Yi did not hesitate to offer a huge amount of bonuses, the first place merchant silver 1 million taels, the second place 500,000, and the third place 300,000.

One million taels of silver is not an ordinary person, but it is also a large asset for the rich people of the empire.

I heard that the prize money is so high, Luoyang and Chang'an have stepped up the training of the Keju team, and spent huge sums of money to recruit more powerful talents and strengthen the team. Those who did not have a team stepped up their efforts to recruit personnel and organize the team.

For a time, the entire empire was deeply immersed in a deep passion for Kemari.

On April 31, the 25th year of the 25th century, a total of 96 teams signed up for the competition.

The organizing committee of the competition divided the 96 teams into A, B, C, and D by drawing lots...... Sixteen groups, each with six teams, compete twice a week in a single round-robin at the Empire Arena starting June 1.

In the game, the winner gets three points, the draw gets two points, and the loser gets zero points.

In other words, there are sixteen groups, and the sixteen teams with the highest scores are the top 16. The top 16 re-draw to select the opponent, the winner enters the quarterfinals, and the loser is eliminated. Until the first, second and third places are decided.

The propaganda offensive in each issue of the "Holy Light" suddenly pushed Keju into the most sought after topic after "Ni Dress and Feather Coat", and the novel competition rules and competition system instantly whetted the appetite of the people. There are also gambling houses that have made preparations in advance for the upcoming gambling activities.
