Hai'an Grand Theater, "When You're Old" stage play.

Two seven or eight-year-old boys walked out of the left side of the stage, and one of them said, "Xiao Ming, you scored 28 points in mathematics this time, and your mother can't beat you to death when you go home?" ”

Xiao Ming looked around, and took out the test paper a little mysteriously to show his friends.

“88？ Did you change it? The little friend shouted in surprise.

"Shhhh Be quiet! Xiao Ming hurriedly covered his mouth, "This time it's all up to me at the same table, if it weren't for the fact that she didn't come on the day of the exam, I wouldn't have a place to copy, otherwise I would only take the 28 test!" ”

"That's right."

There was a burst of laughter in the theater.

While talking, the two said goodbye at the door of the house, and Xiao Ming came home and shouted, "Mom, I'm back!" ”

On the sofa in the center of the stage, a middle-aged woman about forty years old sat with her eyelids raised and continued to hold the soles of her shoes, and asked, "How many points are in this math test?" ”

Xiao Ming shrank his neck a little weakly, and said, "Uh...... 88 points. ”

Mom took the test paper and looked at it, frowned slightly, then raised her head and squinted at him, Xiao Ming, who looked straight at him, was sweating, and finally said, "Let's eat first." ”

When Xiao Ming heard this, he climbed onto the table and picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and asked while eating, "Where is my dad?" ”

"I'm going to the town to buy you the Huanggang test papers."

The meat that Xiao Ming sandwiched to his mouth suddenly became unfragrant, put down the dishes and chopsticks with a melancholy face, and said, "...... I'm full. ”

"One grain of rice left to beat you to death."

Xiao Ming pouted and picked up the dishes and chopsticks again, and saw that his mother was still holding the soles of his shoes, and asked, "Mom, what are you doing with the soles of your shoes so thick?" ”

"If you don't get thin, your father won't hurt when he beats you with it."

"Hahahaha." The amusing dialogue between mother and son caused the audience to burst into laughter.

At this moment, Xiao Ming's father came home with a thick test paper and textbook between his waist, put things on the table, and said, "One a day, don't sleep if you can't finish it." ”

Xiao Ming pushed the test paper aside with a depressed face and said, "Can you not talk about these unappetizing things when you eat." ”

"I have to write about my stomach."

After a while, Xiao Ming pushed the bowl away, "I'm done." ”

Mom cut the thread in her hand and handed the sole to his dad, "Let's finish eating, let's fight." ”

"Huh?" Seeing this, Xiao Ming wanted to walk, but was grabbed by his father, pressed on his lap and slapped his buttocks, and screamed.

After the beating, Dad wiped the sweat from his head, turned around and asked, "Why did you beat me?" ”

Xiao Ming cried and said, "You don't even know why you beat me, so you started beating me?" ”

"I can't beat you if it's okay?"

"Hahahaha." An Qi leaned on Zhou Miao and said with a smile: "This family is so interesting. ”

The mother handed the test paper to her father and said, "Look at your son's test paper, 28 points have been changed to 88 points, how stupid can a person come up with such a trick?" ”

"Really?" Dad took the test paper and looked at it, it was true, the "8" on the head of the test paper was very unnatural, and it was changed after seeing it.

"This stinky boy can actually deceive people!" Dad picked up the soles of his shoes and beat them up again.

Xiao Ming howled and shouted, "Didn't you beat me just now, why did you still beat me?" ”

"I was a little confused just now, but I was relieved by this fight." Dad said sternly.

Xiao Ming: "......"

After a while, the scene switched, the family was lying on the bed and preparing to sleep, Xiao Ming was already asleep, and his father quietly took off his pants and looked at them, and said softly: "It's red." ”

Mom hit him with a fan, "It's so hard." ”

"Didn't you tell me to hit it?" Dad said with a look of grievance.

"Did I let you use it so hard?" Mom glared at him.

Dad curled his mouth, didn't dare to talk more, lay down and began to sleep, the mother propped her head, looked at her son with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and fanned him slowly with a fan in her hand.

The picture gradually became warm, accompanied by soft music, which made many viewers in the audience moisten their eyes suddenly.

The scene changed, my mother was still sitting on the old sofa with the soles of my shoes, but my hair had become a little gray, and Xiao Ming, who had grown up, was carrying his bags and preparing to go to college.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming hurriedly blocked it and said, "Oh Mom, who still wears old cloth shoes now, and my classmates will laugh at me when I wear them." ”

Hearing this, my mother froze for a moment, then took out a handkerchief from her pocket, opened it layer by layer, took out a stack of money and stuffed it to Xiao Ming, and said: "Then mom will give you some money, you can buy it yourself, go to college in other places, the cost must be large, save some money, and call home if it is not enough." ”

"Got it, got it, I'm gone, Mom."

Xiao Ming answered a few casually, and hurriedly left with his bags, his mother stood in place and stared at him in the distance, until Xiao Ming's figure disappeared from her sight, she looked at the cloth shoes in her hand in a daze.

An Qi's tears were extremely low, seeing this scene, and then thinking of her own experience, tears suddenly flowed down, Zhou Miao took her into her arms, caressed her head and comforted her.

On the stage, a few years have passed, Xiao Ming graduated and entered the society, and his mother is still sitting on the sofa, but her hair is whiter, her back is hunched, and she wears reading glasses.

The phone rang, and she couldn't wait to pick it up.

"Hey, son."

"Hey Mom, I won't go back for the Chinese New Year this year, I'm very busy with work, and I'll take the time to go back to see you after the New Year."

"You're not coming back...... Mom's tone suddenly became much lower, "Then you usually remember to eat outside, I knitted you a few sweaters, and filled your favorite sausages at home, and I will send them to you when I get back to dry." ”

"No, no, you can buy it here, you take care of your own body, it's very expensive for long distances, I'll hang up first."

“…… All right. ”

Many years later, Xiao Ming got married and settled in a big city with his wife.

And the mother was older, her hair was all gray, and she sat on the old sofa and picked up the soles of her shoes, and when the clock on the wall rang, she suddenly stood up slowly, and muttered, "It's time to cook, my son is about to get out of school." ”

Seeing this scene, many emotional viewers burst into tears, they knew that the elderly mother was already a little senile dementia.

At this moment, the old father, who also had gray hair, took a man, a woman and a child, and shouted loudly: "Old woman, look who has come back!" ”

"Mom!"

Mom's footsteps suddenly stopped, and she squinted back, "I'm back, how many points did I get in the exam this time." ”

Xiao Ming was stunned when he heard this, and after a long time, he choked up and said, "Mom, I took the 88 exam." ”

The old mother smiled and poked his finger at the door of his head and said, "You fool me again, wait for your father to come back and see that he won't beat your ass." ”

Xiao Ming couldn't hold back any longer, hugged his mother and cried bitterly, and the audience was also sobbing, and An Qi had been crying since the second half of the year, and the clothes on Zhou Miao's chest were wet with crying.

At this moment, a burst of soft music came from the sound of the theater, and Zhou Miao's voice also sounded:

"When you're old

Hair is gray

Drowsiness

When you're old

I can't walk anymore

Snoozing by the fire

Reminiscing about youth

How many people have loved your youthful and joyful hours

Admire your beauty

False or sincere

There is only one person who still loves your pious soul

Love the wrinkles on your old face......"

In this scene, Zhou Miao's singing voice is like a tear gas bomb, and some male viewers who were originally strong and had red eyes and no tears were also broken by tears at this moment.

The singing is long, and the simple and sincere lyrics turn into old times, surging and fermenting in people's hearts, making people's noses pantothenic and lingering.

This song doesn't have a showy melody, it's just sung like a straight narrative, but it has been poking into people's hearts.

"When You're Old" was originally written by the Irish poet Yeats, a poem written for a lover, but after the music was composed and adapted into a song, it was equally applicable to both the mother and the lover.

And here, "When You're Old" is a song given by Zhou Miao to her mother Hong Xue, and the program team specially arranged this stage play after carefully understanding his creative background.

At the end of the song, all the actors of the stage play came to the stage and bowed deeply to the extremely warm applause of the audience.

Zhou Miao rarely watches stage plays, but today's "When You're Old", he really likes it, not to mention An Qi, who cried into little tears.

Zhou Miao patted Zhang Han's thigh and said, "How is it, do you like it?" ”

There was no response, Zhang Han smiled, his eyes were slightly closed, his head was tilted to the side, and there was a trace of tears in the corners of his eyes.

Zhou Miao felt a little wrong, and shook him again, but there was still no response.

Qian Jin squatted down and looked at him, and said with tears in his eyes: "The old man is gone." ”

Zhou Miao was shocked when she heard this, this is leaving? Isn't there one last song you haven't listened to?

But if it's gone, it's gone, Ye Xianglun's father still didn't listen to "Last Night's Dream Back" that he had all his heart and mind, but he didn't regret it, and it may be a kind of happiness to be able to sleep with the singing of "When You're Old".

On the way back to the hospital with Zhang Han's "corpse", Zhou Miao suddenly understood a little, maybe this is life, there are not so many perfect, regret and imperfection are the main theme of life.

The group walked on the street at night, and the last scene of "Last Words" was frozen at this moment.

"Cards!"

As soon as the director spoke, Zhang Han, who was originally cold, suddenly came to life, jumped down in a wheelchair to move his muscles and bones, and sighed: "This little variety show is recorded so fast, I have to find a job again." ”

"You still need to go out to find a job? Shouldn't the show take the initiative to find you to choose? Zhou Miao smiled.

Zhang Han shook his head: "It's already a world of young people, the old man is becoming less and less popular, and if he doesn't take the initiative, he won't have to eat at all, if Xiao Zhou has a good opportunity in the future, he has to think about my brother." ”

With Zhou Miao's coffee position, if there is a new variety show, which host he wants to use is a matter of his words.

"Don't worry, I will definitely cooperate with you if I have the opportunity."

After filming "Last Wishes", Zhou Miao and An Qi rested locally for a night, and then flew back to Beijing the next day.

Hong Xue originally wanted Zhou Miao to send An Qi to Suzhou to be taken care of by her, but An Qi was reluctant to live separately from Zhou Miao, and in the end Zhou Miao promised her mother that she would ask the best nutritionist to prepare a daily meal for An Qi, and when he was busy with things, he would accompany An Qi back to raise the fetus.

As soon as he got home, Zhao Li pulled An Qi to ask questions, and made a large table of dishes, all of which were healthy and nutritious, and An Qi still loved to eat.

After the meal, Zhao Li found an opportunity and said to Zhou Miao: "I've checked, you can't do that in the early stages of pregnancy, you are not allowed to move and I will tell you, do you hear?" ”

Zhou Miao knew what she was talking about, but deliberately pretended not to understand and asked, "Which one?" ”

Zhao Li slapped him in disgust, "Don't be hippie and smile, I'll tell you seriously." ”

Zhou Miao pressed her shoulder and smiled: "Don't worry, I know this, am I the kind of person who doesn't care about anything for my own comfort?" ”

"That's not for sure." Zhao Li gave him a blank look.

"I'll look for you at night?"

"Don't, An Qi is just pregnant, spend more time with her."

……

After the recording of "Last Wish", it was cut into four episodes, and each new song was a separate issue, which was broadcast one after another after Zhou Miao returned to Beijing.

This kind of variety show where each issue is a small unit drama, it is really the first time I have seen it in China, all the plots revolve around Zhou Miao and the song itself, and each issue has highlights and gimmicks to attract the audience.

In the second issue, Zhou Miao and An Qi came to the Lovelorn Museum and exchanged the bank card returned to him by Hu San for "If There Is an Afterlife" he wrote to Zhao Li.

Zhou Miao gave her youth to Hu San, gave her marriage to An Qi, and gave it to Zhao Li, but there was only one sentence If there is an afterlife, how beautiful the song is, how cruel Zhou Miao is to Zhao Li.

In the third issue, Zhou Miao and the two came to the art exhibition and saw An Qi, who was "old and decrepit", time was in a hurry, but "she" was still like now, she was the ultimate dazzling maniac, and every painting in "her" art exhibition was Zhou Miao.

From teenager to middle age, life has taken a turn, which has made many fans of Zhou Miao sigh.

And in this issue, An Qi and Zhang Han's interactive Q&A laughed crazy many audiences, especially the secret little code between the two, which topped the Weibo hot search overnight, and Zhou Miao's action of knocking three times on the camera lens was made into a "go to my room tonight" gific by netizens, which was collected by countless people.

When the theme song of the third issue of "Secret Signal" sounded in the ward, the whole network was sweetened by this Zhou Miao-style romance, and the aunt smiled when she saw it, and she was very satisfied.

In the fourth issue, unlike the first three issues, this issue Zhou Miao directly took Zhang Han and Qian Jin out to find songs, at the Hai'an Grand Theater, the curtain of the stage play opened, and at the beginning, the audience, like An Qi, was amused by this funny family, but in the second half of the whole cry.

And after "When You're Old" sounded, all the sadness and longing were healed, and the whole show was sublimated at this moment!

However, just after the end of the stage play, the father played by Zhang Han left with a smile.

At first, the audience felt a little abrupt, but after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Han's departure was actually foreshadowed in the front, in the first few issues, Zhang Han became weaker and weaker when he spoke, and coughed up blood later, but under Zhou Miao's gag, not too many people noticed this.

Before going out to watch the performance, Qian Jin also hinted that his body might not be able to hold it, but although Zhang Han understood this, he still went, the stage ended, and his life came to an end.

In the end, he still couldn't hear the last song in "Last Night's Dream Back", and "Last Words" also officially ended after his death.

In just four episodes, netizens have said that they have just fallen in love with this show, and it ended as a pity, and they have not heard the last song of Zhou Miao's new album.

So, the day after the fourth episode was broadcast, Zhou Miao's Weibo was updated.
