The Pentium Era - South to North

Xiang Nan and the others left Yongcheng and headed north this time. They were going to participate in two activities in total, both of which were highlights. The first was to participate in the performance of the Ministry of Culture, which was the "China Art Festival".

After the "China Art Festival", they will immediately rush to Shanghai to participate in the Eastern Division of the "Plum Blossom Award" competition hosted by the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Chinese Dramatists Association.

The full name of "Plum Blossom Award" is "Chinese Drama Award-Plum Blossom Performance Award". It is the highest award for Chinese drama performing arts. It is selected every two years and aims to commend young and middle-aged drama actors who have made outstanding achievements in stage performing arts.

The "China Art Festival" is held every three years. At the "China Art Festival", the "Wenhua Award", a group award for performing groups, and various individual awards will be selected. The "Wenhua Award" is a professional stage art award The highest government award, compared with the "Plum Blossom Award", its award scope is wider.

The "Plum Blossom Award" is a performance award and is limited to drama. The "Wenhua Award" has individual awards, in addition to performance awards, as well as director, screenwriter, composer, stage design, etc. Its scope of awards is not only for drama. , also involves folk arts, acrobatics, and even puppet shows, shadow puppet shows, etc.

The "Wenhua Award" and the "Plum Blossom Award" will meet unexpectedly in the spring of this year, which is a big event for art groups across the country.

For the first time, Yongcheng Wu Opera Troupe was lucky enough to be selected and obtain a quota to participate in these two events. This was already a breakthrough in the history of Yongcheng. Deputy Mayor Sun Jin happily called Zhang Chen and said:

"Old classmate, thank you. You really did keep your promise. This time I finally heard the news."

Sun Jin not only heard the news and went to these two large-scale events for the Yongcheng Wu Opera Troupe, but the Yongcheng City Committee also held a special standing committee meeting, at which it was decided that Sun Jin would personally lead the group to Beijing and Shanghai.

Xiangnan and the others went to Beijing, and with them was the "dog-licking" Xiaohu. Xiaohu was not an official member of the delegation, but when Sun Jin heard that he was the young boss of "Fubon Financial Holdings", he was very interested. He was generously included in the official list of the delegation.

Doesn't "Fubon Financial Holdings" sponsor Yongcheng Wu Opera Troupe to rehearse new plays every year? This time, "Shakespeare and Tang Xianzu" is due to their sponsorship, so of course they can attend the delegation.

Xiaohu went with them, and the most welcome ones were of course Yin Tao and Ding Yousong. Ding Yousong said: "As soon as Xiaohu came, our treatment skyrocketed."

Of course, everyone stayed in a hotel designated by the festival organizing committee. Other literary and artistic groups received meal coupons and ate working meals. Only they ordered their own meals, which made other literary and artistic groups look at them with suspicion.

After eating for two days, Sun Jin quickly stopped her. She said no, we can't make it special, it will make people angry.

Individual ordering has been cancelled, but Xiaohu can’t stop Xiaohu from having takeaways delivered and taking them out for midnight snacks. Yin Tao said:

"Xiaohu, can we defeat you?"

Xiaohu smiled and said, "Okay, I'm here to serve you."

When he said this, he glanced at Xiang Nan. Xiang Nan did not look at him. Instead, he closed his eyes and silently rehearsed the lines and singing in his mind.

Xiang Nan is still the same towards Xiaohu. I can't say I like him or hate him, but he has helped me a lot. He just follows me and doesn't show any other expression. What can you do to him? Besides, he is still the special commander of Captain Sun. As a formal member of the group, it is natural to follow.

Xiang Nan thought to himself: "Just follow me."

There is one thing that Xiang Nan feels relieved about, which is also the reason why she doesn't hate Xiao Hu. Xiang Nan is not a fool. Of course she knows that Xiao Hu likes her. But even when she followed Xiao Hu to Taiwan, Xiao Hu was always like this, polite and never disrespectful. There will be no excessive words or deeds, not even provocative behavior.

This made Xiang Nan feel safe and relaxed when she was with him.

Today is their last performance, and the closing ceremony and award ceremony of the "China Arts Festival" will be held tomorrow. After that, they will leave for Shanghai to participate in the Eastern Division of the "Plum Blossom Award" competition.

Rumors have spread that Yongcheng Wu Opera Troupe's "Shakespeare and Tang Xianzu" is very likely to win this "Wenhua Award". Although there are ten "Wenhua Awards" in total, it is just ten. It's also amazing. You have to know that there are thousands of professional performance groups across the country. Ten out of a thousand, isn't that an amazing achievement?

And I heard that because they are a popular group in the "Wenhua Awards", there will be many leaders and experts coming to watch their last performance tonight. Many of the experts are judges. Sun Jin warned everyone over and over again to focus on Mentally, don’t fail in your performance or fall short of your success.

With ten minutes left before the performance, Sun Jin quietly said to Teacher Wu: "No, no, no, Teacher Wu, I'm too nervous. I can't sit in the audience and look at the expressions of the experts."

Teacher Wu said: "You can go back to the hotel and rest. I will keep an eye on this place."

Sun Jin patted Teacher Wu on the shoulder and said, "Okay, please, Teacher Wu!"

Teacher Wu, Xiang Nan and the others said, "Let's go back to the hotel."

When Yin Tao and the others heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed: "Great, I wasn't too nervous before, but when Mayor Sun said it, I became nervous."

Xiang Nan scolded: "You're worthless, why should you be nervous? You've already performed so many times."

"Oh my god, Mayor Sun asked us to concentrate and not fall short. The more she talks, the more I feel like I'm going to collapse. Aren't you nervous, Xiangnan?" Yin Tao shouted.

Xiang Nan clapped his hands, called everyone together, and said to them:

"Today is the last show. Everyone will perform the same as the previous five shows. We have done a good job in the past. Don't worry about who is sitting below today, and don't think about tomorrow. Do you understand?"

Everyone lowered their heads and said nothing, but their hearts were still pounding. Xiang Nan said:

"If you really want to think about it, just think that today is the last show. After the performance, we will be relieved and can go to Guijie Street for supper. You can eat as late as you want today, Xiaohu, right?"

Xiaohu said yes, "Everyone can eat whatever they want, even a lobster per person."

"You're so stingy, and after traveling such a long way, you treat each of us to a spicy crayfish?" Xiang Nan teased him.

"Big, big, big..." Xiaohu said quickly, "Big lobsters, weighing more than one pound or two, we will choose the biggest ones to eat. We will finish all the lobsters in Guijie today."

Xiang Nan agreed, "After this performance, we will eat lobsters as apples. Do you agree?"

Everyone clapped, and then their facial expressions relaxed.

Xiang Nan continued: "It is normal to make mistakes on stage. Please remember, if you make a mistake, don't be nervous. Let it pass as soon as possible. Just perform the rest well. People around you, please remember to help." Give it a try."

Xiang Nan turned to the actor who played Romeo and said, "Remember, if I make a mistake, you can help me catch it."

Romeo nodded and said, OK, I remember.

After Xiang Nan finished speaking, Teacher Xu's drums started playing. Xiang Nan clapped his hands and said, "Okay, everyone is ready to play."

…

At the closing ceremony the next day, when the host announced this year's "Wenhua Award", Sun Jin, Teacher Wu, and Xiang Nan sat there, all very nervous. They submitted the names one by one, but none of them had their names. , everyone's hearts became colder and colder. Sun Jin sat there with his hands on both sides of his thighs and a slight smile on his face.

When a name was announced on the stage, Sun Jin secretly bent one finger. One hand was soon bent into a fist. When the other hand also had four fingers bent, Sun Jin sighed in his heart, It's over, it's all a waste of joy. It seems that there is still a shady secret behind the selection, and they just bullied us from the mountains and valleys.

"Zhejiang Province Yongcheng Wu Opera Troupe's "Shakespeare and Tang Xianzu"." The host read out the last name.

"Oh!" Everyone cheered, and Sun Jin's hand, which had been bent into two fists, suddenly waved, knocking off the reading glasses of Teacher Wu sitting next to him.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Wu!" Sun Jin quickly said to Teacher Wu.

Teacher Wu laughed loudly: "It doesn't matter, it's worth knocking off ten pairs."

Sun Jin remembered and asked, "Teacher Wu, did I hit you?"

Teacher Wu continued to smile: "Even if you slap me, I won't know it hurts."

Sun Jin also laughed.

When it was time to go on stage to receive the award, Sun Jin and Teacher Wu declined each other, but Xiang Nan said: "This is the group award, Captain Sun, of course it is you who will receive the award.

After returning with the trophy and certificate, everyone here is still excitedly passing the trophy and certificate. The most important single award "Wenhua Performance Award" has begun to be announced on the stage. The first one is "Shakespeare and Tang Xianzu" Feng Xiangnan. "

Everyone looked at each other, wondering if they heard it wrong. Sun Jin said, "I heard it sounds like Xiangnan."

Xiang Nan said: "No way."

Someone from another group in the back row said, "It's you, Feng Xiangnan from "Shakespeare and Tang Xianzu."

Only then did Xiang Nan laugh.

When Xiang Nan came back with the trophy and certificate with a smile, everyone congratulated her, and Xiao Hu also said, Congratulations, Xiang Nan! Xiang Nan made a face at him.

Next, the "Wenhua Arranger Award" was awarded. The host announced a name, which shocked Sun Jin and others.

""Shakespeare and Tang Xianzu" Ding Yousong."

Ding Yousong was stunned, and Xiang Nan slapped him in the face. He asked blankly, "Is it me?"

This time everyone heard correctly. Yin Tao said to Ding Yousong: "Of course it's you, fool."

Ding Yousong chuckled: "Why do I feel like I'm dreaming?"

The good things were not over yet. When the host applied for the "Wenhua Screenwriting Award" and "Shakespeare and Tang Xianzu", there was a commotion in the venue, and Xiangnan and the others laughed.

Neither of the two screenwriters came, and they didn't know that such a good thing would happen, so Sun Jin came on stage to accept the award for them.

When Sun Jin came back, Teacher Wu smiled at her: "Unexpectedly, we won a bunch of awards today."

Sun Jin said to Teacher Wu with a grimace: "Oops, it's difficult to judge the special prize of this year's Yongcheng Literary Award.

There is no reason for this.

Thank you Hu Hu, Yuan Wang, and Doudou Weng for your monthly votes! Thanks for all the votes and reading! Have a good evening everyone!
