It has been many years since a Yue Opera Troupe has come to Shanghu Village to perform, and this year's Spring Festival suddenly came out of the village with an exciting piece of good news: after the fifth day of the first lunar month, Yue Opera troupes from other towns and villages came to Shanghu Village to perform costume dramas. As soon as the news spread among the villagers, the people of the surrounding three townships and five villages already knew about it.

If a village is willing to invite a Yue opera troupe to perform, once the scene is spread, it will usually be performed for three or five days in a row. When the performance is wonderful, the troupe will perform for several days in a row at the request of the masses in the village, and may even perform for ten days and half a month. Of course, such an "encore" requires several prerequisites: first, the performance level of this Yue Opera Troupe is enough to convince the villagers, and the play is very enjoyable; Second, the collective economic strength of the village or the waist of a certain boss in the village is thick enough to afford all the expenses incurred for the performance.

If the Yue Opera Troupe performs a rich and wonderful program; The age structure of the team is reasonable; The actor is young and beautiful, and the actor's acting skills are high; The protagonist's singing voice is mellow and sweet, the lyrics are chewy and the words are refreshing and unambiguous, and the movements and expressions are impeccable; The backyard props and equipment are advanced, and the personnel cooperate neatly and vividly. Such a troupe often has a strong lineup, a large number of personnel, rich and diverse performance program versions, fantastic changes in plot performances, and deep and solid basic skills after the troupe is formed. The strength of such a Yue Opera troupe's own software and hardware facilities is relatively strong and perfect. These factors determine how long and far this Yue Opera Troupe can go in the future, and how many towns and villages can its influence cover? The economic benefits are as powerful as they are.

The prerequisites that the village requires a troupe to meet are sometimes very demanding. If the Yue Opera Troupe is unable to meet the basic needs of the audience in the village, or if the troupe's own conditions are poor, its strength is not strong enough, the team of actors is not neat and united, the age structure is too old-fashioned and old-fashioned, the discipline is loose and loose, the division of labor in the performance is not very clear, and there are still many contradictions in the team. Then, sometimes, even if the number of days for the performance has been set in the village, there will be "miscarriages" of the performance due to the poor word-of-mouth reaction of the masses who are not appreciating and watching.

Some troupe members of their own team had conflicts and the plot could not be performed, and the actors boycotted, so the troupe had to propose to the village to "break the contract"; Either the villagers can't bear the acting skills of the troupe, and strongly demand that the village take the plot behind the performance, and the audience is "kicked out" of the village. In such a situation, no matter which one it is? Once that happens, the troupe is about to disintegrate and fall apart.

And a good and excellent Yue Opera troupe, first of all, their own cast is very strong, the system is strictly disciplined, the team management level is superb, and the salary is reasonable; The scene is magnificent, the props are neatly equipped, the talents in all aspects are reasonable, and the adaptability is also very strong, so that the Yue Opera Troupe can develop and grow benignly, and the plot performances are endless.

For example: a good Yue Opera troupe must first have a good leader. This regiment leader not only needs to be proficient in a wide range of business skills, but also has the ability to adapt to changes on the spot. For example, when a company goes to a village with a strong economic strength to perform, the performance of the troupe is of a high level and the audience is very enjoyable, so it is natural that the performance date will continue day by day. After more than ten days and a half of continuous performances, the village still refused to finish, and the variety of the troupe's plot repertoire was close to the limit, and the plot catalog had reached the point of exhaustion. What should the troupe do? Of course, at this time, the greatest pressure in the troupe is on the head of the troupe. If the head of the troupe does not have wisdom, advanced prediction, and communication skills on the spot, then the troupe will raise the white flag and surrender to the village. This is the last thing the troupe wants to see, and it is also the result that the village does not want to see. Because, the people in the village are still not happy enough, and at this time, the troupe will not be forgiven by the villagers for cutting the plot.

Since the head of the troupe is the leader and guide of the troupe, he must take into account all aspects of emergencies, and at the same time, he must also have the ability to adapt. When the program is about to run out, the troupe leader will gather various members of the troupe for a meeting in advance to discuss how to pre-empt countermeasures in case of a situation that needs to be rescued in a few days.

The head of the group will assign the following team to temporarily compile a few plot programs and put them in front of everyone for discussion. The content of these plot changes is generally changed without changing the medicine, and the troupe leader will not order the performance team to temporarily write and sing lyrics for the performance members to try out and recite, which is too late. The members of the show also don't have so much energy and memory, and the main purpose of their meetings is just to work out who will play what role temporarily. The head of the troupe will allow the actors to put together some lyrics on the fly, and they will be allowed to make up and sing nonsense at this time. Because this is a rescue, you can fool the audience, but you must not have stage fright, and it is even more taboo to pause and deform during the performance, and there are situations such as singing and singing through the door and singing cold. As long as the actor's mouth is singing non-stop, his hands and feet are dancing, his facial expression is calm and rich, and his mood is normal, the performance is considered a success.

The head of the troupe and the members of the think tank team, the strongest 'brain hub nerves' in the troupe, are all veteran fritters and old slippery heads. It is their business task and responsibility to play the emergency response and rescue measures on the spot, and in normal times, they only need to be responsible for contacting the performance business. But at this time, they can't just leave it alone, they must use their ingenuity to save the scene at this moment. The energy exerted by these "brain hubs" at this time is very admirable.

They always need to find a common denominator, that is, even the performance of the rescue cannot let the ordinary audience see the flaws, and in order to achieve this effect, it is necessary for the 'brain nerves' of these troupes to play a super high level and a very reasonable layout. However, people in the same industry know this truth, but the level of rescue will vary greatly depending on the level of literacy of the troupe's think tank.

The most convincing rescue plot is to move out of a plot of "Suffering and Raiding the House". Generally speaking, there are several main "crucifixion" scenes in the plot of the troupe at the scale level. This scene is indeed very sensational, and it will make the audience feel sad at every turn, and bow to tears of sympathy. As long as the actors on stage have rich and exaggerated expressions and movements, wear tattered makeup, are unkempt, burst into tears, and cry and sing miserably and sadly, they will generally "harvest" a lot.

The clever troupe, the day before the performance of this plot, will focus on the bleak and tragic scene of the plot of this performance in the forecast of the next show after the previous performance, the language is very sensational, but it is not understandable, leaving a lot of suspense, and this is what they want.

The audience knows that in the next performance of the "Suffering and Raiding Home" disaster scene, they will prepare some "charity donations" in advance, such as grain, oil, rice and noodles, melons, fruits and vegetables, containers, needles and threads, clothes, shoes, hats, money and decorations, etc.

When the troupe performs these scenes, often the troupe's performances have reached the point of exhaustion, and the head of the troupe or other persons in charge will use vivid language to sensationalize: "In order to thank the villagers for their deep friendship and friendship to the troupe, in order to thank the fans and friends for their strong support, and to thank the village leaders for their cordial care, the troupe decided to take out the best of the troupe's best repertoire "XX" tomorrow night for a charity performance, and the performance of this repertoire does not require the village to pay for the performanceThe troupe is only performing to express our deep gratitude to the troupe!

Xu Zhiguo was very happy about the sudden Yue Opera performance in Shanghu Village, in addition to being very obsessed with these performances, the most important point was that he could harvest a very rare urine fertilizer on the spot at this time. Urine and water feces are a good economic fertilizer that cannot be replaced by other fertilizers in rural areas. In normal times, these urine and feces can only be slowly accumulated through their own families, but the amount of urine is not large if people are less, and it takes a long time to accumulate, and these accumulated human and animal manure also need to be stored in the manure tank and fermented for a period of time before it can be fertilized into the crop field. Now, acting in the village, Xu Zhiguo has the opportunity to accumulate urine, and maybe he can receive several large buckets in one night.

Xu Zhiguo needs to go to the performance site in advance to observe the layout. It still takes a little skill to set up the urine bucket. After watching the play for a long time, they will definitely have an urgency to urinate, and they need to find a place to pee urgently, and the child is fine, you can find a place where no one is around, and scatter it in the open space, but what about adults and women? You can't be so uncultivated in front of others, and then they want this kind of temporary urine bucket to appear around the performance venue to solve their needs.

As long as these urine buckets are found, men and women will not look embarrassed, and as long as they spill urine into the urine bucket, they will not be criticized and blamed by others.

On the first night, Xu Zhiguo was relatively hidden because of the good location of his dung buckets, and that night, the two dung buckets he placed were full of urine.

This made Xu Zhiguo very happy, and he wanted to arrange an extra urine bucket tomorrow night, so that he could harvest more urine fertilizer at night.

He asked Jin Xiaoju to 'contribute' the only dung bucket he had placed at home, saying that he would place it in an inconspicuous place behind the 'chat pavilion' at night to receive the urine of visitors. Jin Xiaoju objected and said: "Zhiguo, you moved all the dung buckets in our house, what can we do at home?" Don't you need to pee yourself? ”

Xu Zhiguo said with a smile: "Let's endure it ourselves, and now the opportunity is so good, if you don't take it to pick it up, people will still be desperate." ”

Jin Xiaoju said that she couldn't help him, so she had to ask her husband to take it away.

The play became more and more exciting, and the audience from the nearby villages came to watch in groups, and the gathering of these people made old farmers like Xu Zhiguo smile.

Xu Zhiguo knows that as long as the village opera continues, the fertilizer he needs in the field this month can be easily solved.

It is really better for people to be counted than heaven, and Xu Zhiguo's plan is seamless, which makes him happy and inspired. It's a pity that he didn't count that there are still hidden bad people in the village, and he can't see the good of others, just tonight, after the play ended, when Xu Zhiguo happily went to carry the dung bucket with Xiaoju, something angry and annoying appeared: Xu Zhiguo's dung bucket was being torn apart and 'paralyzed' on the ground, and the surrounding urine was spilled and leaked.

This scene made Xu Zhiguo's distressed tears almost flow. He ignored the smell and picked up the pieces of the dung bucket with his hands, and cursed all around.

Xu Zhiguo's three dung buckets were all killed overnight. When Xu Zhiguo sent the fragments to the house of a hoop cooper named Yang Songyin in the village to repair them, he was suffering from no money to get the bucket for a while, so he only waited for the next market opening day five days later, and used the family's rice to call for money to take out the dung bucket, and the Yue Opera performance in the village was also coming to an end.
