I'm not just a director

Many people came to the village party.

Not only the people in Jiangtai Town, but also young people who came from other places to watch the excitement.

After all, when the village evening was held last year, no one knew about it. Later, when the media publicized and reported it, they only became aware of it later.

The night life in rural areas is already poor these days, plus the Chinese New Year.

Many young people who have experienced the nightlife in the city and returned from work are in their hometowns without neon lights and bustling night markets.

When they faced the empty night and the chattering of old wives and mothers in their ears, they even felt depressed and couldn't help but want to escape.

For them, going home during the Chinese New Year is just a holiday to go home for a while.

Some people even find it boring to go home for the New Year, with dilapidated houses, nagging parents, and the rudeness that can be seen everywhere in the country.

It's good to be in the city. Even if they live in a basement or a partitioned room, they feel it is much better than their hometown in the countryside.

The city is bustling with traffic, people are drunk, and it is very lively.

As for reuniting with their parents and family, they are still young and have not yet been able to deeply feel the emotional bond with their parents and family...

I happened to hear that Jiangtai Town was holding a village show, and they invited a professional host and a professional performance team from the provincial capital.

This group of young people wanted to go over and join in the fun no matter what.

"Isn't it just a big country stage? What's there to see?"

"I said, what you said is against your will. That's Jiangtai Town, where a big star like Jiang Pei'an is born.

He is a great director who can work with Cheng Long and Jet Li. Don't you like the golden lock in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge"?

That Jinsuo was nothing in front of him. Wasn't that little Yanzi popular a few years ago?

Later, because she offended him, I didn't see any news from her for several years. "

The two young men stepped into the snow pit with flashlights and rushed towards Jiangtai Town.

"I know the Jiang Peian you are talking about, but I just heard it.

I usually work on the factory assembly line and would like to use my time to eat and sleep to work overtime. How can I have time to care about these celebrities? But is he really as awesome as you say? "

one of the young men asked.

The group of people with flashlights grinned and said:
"It's much better than what I said. Do you know that asphalt road in Jiangtai Town?"

"Why don't you know, every time I go to their Jiangtai Town, I am so jealous. The road at the entrance of our village is like raising fish every time it rains."

"Hey, the asphalt road in Jiangtai Town was built by Jiang Peian himself. I heard that he plans to donate another primary school to the town this year, and construction will start after the year.

The mayor of their town loves him so much now that he hangs around in front of his house all day long. But let alone the mayor, he is probably the county magistrate, and he is not enough to look at in front of him..."

As they talked, the two walked to the entrance of Jiangtai Town. When they saw Jiang Peian's name on the merit monument, the young man scratched his head and exclaimed:

"Damn, how much does it cost to build a road?"

"Haha, I'm so poor now that I only have money. Hey, you said we're all from the same place, but why is he a big star? We're still driving screws in the factory."

"This is life. Okay, let's not talk anymore. Didn't you say you wanted to go to the show? Do you want tickets?"

“I heard it’s not necessary, but there probably won’t be enough space inside now.

This time, people from the county, city, and provincial TV stations came, and I heard that the deputy magistrate of the county and the leaders of the city's propaganda department also came. "

"Dear boy, this is going to heaven, it's so awesome."

While the two were talking, they had arrived at the building of the Folk Ditty Art Troupe.

This building stands among the low-rise mud houses or bungalows, and it is difficult not to see it.

It stands there like a flock of chickens. Such buildings are extremely rare even in the county.

At this time, there were many villagers on the three floors outside and three floors around the building, stretching their heads to look inside.

But there was nothing to see here. All I could hear was the sound of clapping and applause coming from inside, as well as festive music.

To the ears of the people outside, these sounds sounded like kitten claws scratching their hearts.

But they couldn't take a step forward. A group of uniformed policemen stood outside the Gein Building to maintain order...

“Tonight we celebrate our annual New Year’s Eve together.

Tonight is a night to witness a glorious moment, and we will welcome the Spring Festival of 2004 together.

In this lively, reunited and joyful day.

No matter where you are, no matter what your identity is, we celebrate the arrival of the New Year together..."

In the auditorium, host Ma Ying was standing in the center of the stage with a microphone.

The audience was crowded with people watching the performance.

Sitting in the row in front of the stage were county and city-level leaders.

Jiang Pei'an sat beside them and talked to them from time to time.

"Director Jiang, your village gala is very good. You don't have to watch CCTV's Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve. We ordinary people have our own stage, too."

The leader of the city's Propaganda Department said with a smile.

The deputy county magistrate smiled and said:
"Minister Jiang is right, this is our common people's own stage, Director Jiang doesn't know the influence of the village show you organized.

Based on last year's success, when this year just entered the twelfth lunar month, our brother units in other counties came to ask the county magistrate about the successful experience of holding the village party last year.

Haha, our county is ahead of its brother units in this regard. "

Jiang Peian smiled and said:
“Our rural areas are no better than outside, and the people work hard outside for a whole year.

There are no entertainment activities in rural areas. My original intention of organizing the village party is to let us farmers watch a lively party and relax during the Chinese New Year. "

After hearing Jiang Peian's words, the city leader smiled and said:
"Director Jiang is determined. If you have this idea, the city will definitely support it. This village evening is very meaningful and I hope it can be continued in the future.

If you have any difficulties, please report them to the county and city. We will definitely provide strong support and strive to spread the experience and spirit of our village party to the whole city and even the province.

As material life continues to improve, people's spiritual needs must also be paid attention to. "

Having said this, the city leader looked at Jiang Peian with a smile and said:
"This still needs Director Jiang's help and guidance when the time comes. It can't just be about the spiritual enjoyment of the people in Jiangtai Town or Xinnan County. Other areas must also be taken care of."

After hearing the words of the city leader, the deputy county magistrate and Jiang Peian looked at each other and nodded silently.

But obviously, the deputy county magistrate was not optimistic about his words. The city leaders have set the tone this year and want to promote the village evening throughout the city.

But there must be motivation for promotion. Why Jiangtai Town is booming is because of the influence of Jiang Peian, a big star.

There is also strong support from the folk art troupe, which is why it has such a prosperous effect.

What are the other counties?
We don’t have the people we need, and we don’t need the money. Just slogans about breaking the sky, it’s useless!
The village evening in Jiangtai Town can only be realized in Jiangtai Town, Jiang Peian and the Folk Minor Art Troupe.

It wouldn't be possible to change the person or the place.

Now the city wants to pick peaches and gain political achievements, but it’s hard!

The Spring Festival Gala on stage is still going on, and this performance is designed to cater to three generations of audiences: old, middle-aged and young.

The performance structure has been specially adjusted. The elderly like to listen to operas, such as Yu Opera and Huangmei Opera.

Covers of classic songs and current popular songs are also arranged for middle-aged or young people.

Although it is a cover, those who are sure to bring the program to the stage must have good skills. What's more, this program has gone through many layers of screening before being put on stage, so the quality is naturally guaranteed.

As for language programs, the art troupe will certainly not forget its special skills, and folk tunes will naturally be included.

There are all kinds of programs such as acrobatics, magic, dance, sketches and so on.Although there are only a few hundred people in the art troupe, they were all wandering around in the world before.

The key to being in the world of martial arts is to have a lot of skills but not to overwhelm yourself. Naturally, you can use your talents easily...

The people in the audience looked very happy, applauding and shouting from time to time, and the party entered a climax stage.

"Dear viewers, our Xinnan County is really a land of outstanding people. Not only has it produced many historical celebrities, but there is also a big star. Do you know who it is?"

Ma Ying took the microphone and looked at the first row with a smile.

"Jiang Peian!"

The audience in the audience and the artists of the folk art troupe shouted Jiang Pei'an's name loudly.

The spotlight suddenly hit Jiang Pei'an, who also stood up from his seat and greeted everyone.

"Hello Director Jiang, Happy New Year."

Ma Ying greeted Jiang Pei'an with a smile, and Jiang Pei'an's figure immediately appeared on the big screen behind her.

"Hello host, I wish you a happy new year, and I wish everyone a happy new year and all the best."

Ma Ying smiled and said:
"Thank you, Director Jiang, for your blessing. However, Director Jiang, it is not popular for us to say Happy New Year during the Chinese New Year. All the best. Do you know what is popular now?"

The audience in the audience shouted in cooperation:

"Wish you prosperity and wealth!"

“Yes, Gong Xi Fa Cai, a simple sentence of Gong Xi Fa Cai is not only auspicious words, but also our ordinary people’s expectation for a better life.

Last year, on this stage and at this time, Director Jiang sang a song "Gong Xi Fa Cai" in our village evening.

Then the song immediately became popular all over the country. You can hear the familiar melody and lyrics when walking on the street. As soon as I heard this song, I knew that the New Year is coming, right? "

"Yes!"

"Whether it's the lyrics or the melody, it's so catchy that I almost want to hum it now."

Ma Ying said exaggeratedly.

"Sing a song!"

"Sing a song!"

"Sing a song!"

Ma Ying's hosting skills are still very good, and she can mobilize the atmosphere of the whole room with a simple joke.

Seeing the cheers of the audience, Ma Ying shook her head and said:

"I'm okay as a host, but I know everything about singing, but I don't know anything about it!"

"Hahaha."

The audience roared with laughter.

Ma Ying continued:
"So, professional matters should be left to professionals. Director Jiang can not only film movies and TV series but also act.

She is also a very good singer. I wonder what kind of beautiful music Director Jiang will bring me this year?

Let us give you a round of applause, Director Jiang Peian Jiang! "

"Director Jiang!"

"Director Jiang!"

"Director Jiang!"

The atmosphere at the scene reached a climax. Jiang Peian smiled and said hello to the leader beside him, and slowly walked to the stage with the microphone.

At this time, the music started playing slowly, and the spotlights were following Jiang Pei'an.

Seven words slowly appeared on the big screen:
""where did all the time go""

"Where has the time gone? What kind of song is this? I've never heard of it."

"Listen, it's probably Director Jiang's original work. Even though Director Jiang doesn't sing many songs, the first one is a classic. I'm looking forward to this song."

Looking at the words that appeared on the big screen, the audience immediately whispered.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Peian's deep voice came from the stereo.

"The old tree in front of the gate grows new buds, and the dead tree in the yard blooms again

I half-lived a lot of words, hidden in my head of white hair..."

Jiang Pei'an's voice was full of affection, and with his voice, a group of photos began to play on the big screen.

When a child is born, the whole family is surrounded by joy.

The photos then continued to change, from the child being born, to toddling under the protection of his parents, to a photo of the child standing with his parents at the school gate.

The passage of time seems to be vividly displayed in the photos.

"Where has the time gone, you are old before you feel young.

After giving birth to a child and raising a daughter for the rest of my life, all I can think about is the child crying and laughing..."

Listening to the song and looking at the constantly switching photos on the stage, the audience seemed to be immersed in the singing.

The old appearance of my parents kept popping up in my mind, and my father's straight waist became rickety.

The mother's long black hair also had strands of white hair appearing unconsciously.

"Where has the time gone? I didn't even take a good look at your eyes.

After half a lifetime of living on daily necessities, all that is left is wrinkles..."

When they heard "Half a lifetime of food, rice, oil and salt", many young people in the audience wet their eyes unconsciously.

Yes, in their memories, their parents seem to always be around the pot.

For as long as I can remember, after school, and after returning from work, my mother has cooked and my father has cooked the pot.

It’s always the same sentence: “Are you hungry? Food will be ready soon.”

Outside the stage, many people gathered around the Folk Art Troupe building in the cold winter.

Many young people shed tears when they heard the soulful singing and melody.

At this moment, they will not feel that returning to their hometown from a big city to celebrate the New Year is a waste of time.

This is the hometown where they were born and raised, and there are parents who have taken care of them for half their lives.

"This song is so well sung."

Someone whispered.

"Yangzi, let's go home, it's a bit cold outside..."

One of the young people who had just used a flashlight to watch the stage performance sniffed, wiped the corners of his eyes covertly with his sleeves and said slowly.

"Well, go back. It's okay to stand here and get cold all the time. I haven't eaten the dumplings made by my mother yet."

"Me too, I'm going back to Shencheng after the New Year."

"Well, I won't be able to come back until the Chinese New Year next year..."
