Literary Master 1978

"The Best Building in the World" is like peach blossoms in March, blooming all over Yanjing's major universities overnight.

In just two or three days, this play, written by Lin Chaoyang and prepared and performed by students from Yanjing Normal University, became the hottest topic in major universities in Yanjing this winter.

Countless students wanted to see this play, but the day after the premiere of "The First Floor in the World", Yan Normal University tightened the access control, and no students from other schools were allowed to enter.

According to rumors, it was because there were so many student spectators who came here on the second day of the performance that it almost led to a group incident.

Such rumors undoubtedly cast a veil of mystery on the drama "The First Floor in the World" in the minds of students from many colleges and universities in Yanjing, making all those who have not watched the drama become as curious as cats. It's as uncomfortable as catching.

These people have never been as envious and envious of the students of Yan Normal University as they are now. How much happiness and honor is it that a drama that can be compared to a classic of human art is born and performed in the school, or is only enjoyed by the students? How can one not be envious and jealous?

Fortunately, time passed quickly.

According to the students who went to Yan Normal University that day, the Secretary of Yan Normal University has promised that in addition to appearing at the Capital One, Two and Nine Student Art Performances in these two days, "The First Floor in the World" will also be released one after another. Performed in major universities in Yanjing.

Time flies to the day of December 9th, when the Capital University Cultural Performance will be held in the auditorium of the Yanjing Municipal Government.

All major universities in Yanjing have gone to some students, and Yan University is no exception. Many people from each grade have gone. This time, the drama "Conscience" created by the Chinese Department of the 77th grade on behalf of Yanjing University participated in the performance.

Originally, more than ten days ago, everyone was extremely confident and wanted to show their faces in front of the major universities in Yanjing.

Especially for the next-door neighbors and Yanying and Zhongxi Opera, which are good at drama. If they can be defeated in the performance, "Conscience" will undoubtedly become the biggest winner of this year's art performance.

The January 29th Art Performance is a comprehensive performance event. Each university in Yanjing puts on a show. "Conscience" is a drama, which naturally has advantages in terms of duration and audience experience. If you want to come and win the first prize, there is no problem.

But who would have thought that "The First Floor in the World" would appear halfway through. Although almost no students at YSU have seen this work in action, just because of the momentum and influence it created within a few days of its performance, It's just not comparable to "Conscience".

Before leaving, the crew of "Conscience" cheered each other on.

"It doesn't matter, I don't have to be first, but it's good to be second!"

"That's right. Chaoyang is a well-known writer in the country, but Jian Gong's strength is still a little bit behind. It's not a shame to lose to him."

"If you can't speak, just speak less!"

…

Lin Chaoyang was definitely not qualified to participate in activities such as art performances. He could only squat in the library and fish.

Today, many students went to participate in the cultural performance. The library was a little deserted than usual. The workload was less and there was more time for fishing.

It was almost time to get off work, and he was chatting with Hu Wenqiong. Recently, the reputation of "The First Floor in the World" has spread rapidly in major universities, and even Hu Wenqiong and other faculty members know about it.

"You should be coming to our Yan University to perform in two days, right? Is that what you said?"

"Yes, it was promised by their secretary, and I was not present at the time."

"I've been itching to hear what everyone said these days. I really want to watch this play you wrote soon." Hu Wenqiong said with some anticipation.

"I didn't expect that you were not only good at writing novels, but you could even pick up scripts. You've quickly caught up with Lao She." Hu Wenqiong praised again.

Lin Chaoyang smiled humbly, "Sister Hu, please stop praising me, you're embarrassed."

"We have a great writer like you in our library. In the future, you might even be given the title of 'playwright'. What's wrong with the boasting?" Hu Wenqiong said with a smile.

It was about to get off work, and the two people were chatting happily. At this moment, dozens of students suddenly poured into the library, causing a lot of commotion and attracting teachers and students who were studying and reading in the library. side glances, some with disgust in their eyes.

But at this moment, this group of students couldn't care less about being disliked. They had firm eyes and rushed to the front desk of the library in an aggressive manner.

Hu Wenqiong and Lin Chaoyang looked at the group of students blankly, not understanding what was going on.

"Chaoyang!" Before Hu Wenqiong could say anything more, the students had already arrived in front of them.

"Comrade Chaoyang!" Dozens of students rushed to the front desk, led by a male student wearing brown glasses, shouting Lin Chaoyang's name loudly.

"Hey, it's me!" Lin Chaoyang answered cautiously.

"Comrade Chaoyang!"

The male student with brown glasses called Lin Chaoyang again seriously, then stepped forward and held his hand. The students standing behind the male student with brown glasses also had excited faces.

""The First Floor in the World" is wonderful! Outstanding! Excellent!"

The male student with brown glasses held Lin Chaoyang's hand and shook it vigorously while boasting, almost shaking out Lin Chaoyang's digested lunch.

But finally knowing the other party's intention, Lin Chaoyang breathed a sigh of relief. Just now he almost thought he had traveled through time in "Hot Blood High School".

He smiled and said: "Thank you, thank you. Dear students, have you just come back from the art performance?"

The male student with brown glasses nodded and introduced himself first. It turned out that he was Gao Xianjun from the Chinese Department of ’78. Most of the people behind him were also students from the ’78 class.

Lin Chaoyang has always been close to the Chinese Department of the Class of 1977, and has basically no contact with the Chinese Department of the Class of 1978. They occasionally go to the same classroom for classes, but there is no communication.

Today's art performance lasted from the morning to the afternoon, and only five drama programs took up the entire afternoon. "The World's No. 1 Restaurant" took up an hour and a half.

In the future, the organizer may not allow such programs to be registered, because it takes up too much time. But there is only one standard for selecting programs for the December 9th Art Performance, and that is the quality of the program.

At this time, the performance has been going on for a day, and the response to the afternoon program is far less than that of the previous program. This is not because the later programs are not good, but that the students are physically and mentally tired.

"The World's No. 1 Restaurant" was the finale performance, which immediately boosted the spirits of the students, making more than 2,000 students in the city hall auditorium fascinated and fully devoted to the stage performance.

At the end of the performance, although there was no curtain call because it was a performance, the students' spontaneous applause and cheers lasted for nearly ten minutes, which was rare in such an official performance.

At the time of awarding, "The World's No. 1 Restaurant" won the first place in this art performance with an undisputed result, allowing Yanshi to greatly suppress old rivals such as Shuimu, Yanda, and Renmin University, and beat Yanying and the Central Academy of Drama, which are known for their dramas, and successfully showed their faces in this art performance, with unlimited scenery.

After the performance, Gao Xianjun and other students who participated in the event couldn't wait to return to Yanda, just to come to the library to see Lin Chaoyang and express their admiration and respect.

Lin Chaoyang was surrounded by this group of students, and was also surrounded by praise and compliments, and he didn't even have time to say anything modest.

The students were really too enthusiastic. He had published several novels but never received such treatment in Yanda!

Seeing that the time for get off work had passed, colleagues left the library one by one, but Lin Chaoyang could not move. He could not help complaining in his heart: Where is the reserve of you Yan University students?

After a long time, the students' excitement cooled down, and then they let Lin Chaoyang go.

He returned home with lingering fear, but he did not expect to be hugged by his brother-in-law as soon as he entered the door.

"Chaoyang! You are amazing! So awesome!"

"Brother, be gentle!"

Lin Chaoyang patted his brother-in-law on the back with his hand, and finally broke free from his warm embrace.

"Hearing is false, seeing is believing. No matter how good others say it is, it is not as shocking as seeing it in person. Chaoyang, your book is so great! So great!"

Letting go of Lin Chaoyang, Tao Yucheng still praised excitedly.

"Brother, what are you doing..."

"I just came back from the art performance. My goodness, our Central Academy of Drama and Yanying, two schools that are good at drama, were defeated by your "The Best Restaurant in the World"!" Tao Yucheng said with a smile.

Oh, yes, he almost forgot that his elder brother-in-law is from the Central Academy of Drama.

But his school's drama was destroyed by other schools, why are you so happy, elder brother-in-law?

"Dad, Mom, I tell you, you must go and see this drama written by Chaoyang, it's amazing!" Tao Yucheng recommended "The Best Restaurant in the World" to his parents again.

In the past few days, the news about "The Best Restaurant in the World" has been lingering in their ears.

Tao Yushu was busy with this some time ago, and later Tao Yumo begged to go and see it. When he came back, he was also full of emotion. Today, Tao Yucheng applauded again.

Tao's father said with a smile: "Recently, everyone is discussing the play written by Chaoyang!"

Tao Yucheng teased: "Dad, you must have heard a lot of people praising Chaoyang, right?"

"Haha!" Tao's father smiled and said nothing, this is self-evident.

As they were talking, Tao Yushu came back from outside. She also went to participate in the art performance today. Because she went back to school with everyone to deliver props, she came back a little late.

"What are you talking about?" As soon as she entered the door, she saw that the family was chatting enthusiastically, so she asked.

"What else can we talk about? Talk about our Chaoyang's masterpiece. Although he didn't go to this art performance, he made a big splash! By the way, I also heard that people from the People's Art Theater came to watch the performance today." Tao Yucheng said.

"Really? I didn't know."

Tao Yushu took off his coat and hung it up, and then said: "The response to "The World's No. 1 Restaurant" is indeed good. This time it won the first prize!"

Tao Yucheng said regretfully: "It's a pity that there is no money for winning the award in the performance. Even if there are some prizes, there are not enough to share with so many people."

"This is an honor!"

Although Tao Yushu is usually very greedy for money, she has a strong sense of collective honor at this time.

"However, this time I heard that we stepped on Shuimu and Yanda, and the school leaders were very happy and said they would reward us!"

Tao Yucheng listened to her and joked: "So many people are rewarded, it's not a small amount. Besides, your school can't forget Chaoyang, this great contributor."

Tao Yushu smiled and said: "You have to report this issue to our school leaders."

The brother and sister were telling jokes when there was a knock on the door.
