Chapter 116 Where is your reserve?
"The Best Building in the World" is like the 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 gang 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 just as uncomfortable to catch.
These people have never been as envious and envious of the students of Yan Normal University as they are now. A drama that can be compared to a classic of human art was born in the school and performed exclusively by the students. How much happiness and honor is this? How could it be possible?
Don’t make people 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 the premiere of "The First Floor in the World" at the 12.9 Student Arts Festival in the capital during these two days, it will also be released one after another.
Performed in major universities in Yanjing.
Time flies to December 9th. Today is the day of the December 9th Capital University Art Performance held in the auditorium of the Yanjing Municipal Government.
All the major universities in Yanjing have gone to some students, and Yan University is no exception. Many people from each grade have gone. This time, on behalf of Yanjing University, the play "Conscience" was produced by the Chinese Department of the 77th grade.
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 it can defeat these companies in the performance, then "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 produces a program. "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 Yanda University have seen the actual appearance of this work, just because of the momentum and influence it created within a few days of performance,
It's 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, 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 an event like a literary performance. He could only squat in the library and catch 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 heard everyone's comments these days and I really want to watch this play you wrote soon." Hu Wenqiong said with some anticipation.
"I didn't expect that not only were you good at writing novels, but you were also able to 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, I'm embarrassed."
"We have a great writer like you in our library. In the future, we might even add 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 chat between the two was relaxed and happy. 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.
They looked sideways, and some even had disgust in their eyes.
But at this moment, this group of students couldn't care less about being disliked or not. 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!" Hu Wenqiong didn't have time to 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 seriously again, 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 classmate 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 purpose of the other party's visit, 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, and most of the people behind him were also students from the ’78 class.
Lin Chaoyang has always been close to the Chinese Department of Class 77, and has basically no interaction with the Chinese Department of Class 78. He occasionally attends classes in the same classroom, and there is no communication.
Today's cultural performance lasted from morning to afternoon for a whole day, of which only five drama programs took up one afternoon, and "The First Floor in the World" occupied an hour and a half.
In future generations, the organizers may not allow such programs to be registered because they take up too much time. However, there is only one standard for selecting programs for the January 29th Art Festival, and that is the quality of the program.
At this time, the performance had been going on for a day, and by the time the afternoon program was performed, the response was far less than the previous program. This was not because the subsequent programs were not good to watch, but because the students were physically and mentally tired.
The grand finale performance of "The First Floor in the World" immediately boosted the students' spirits. More than 2,000 students in the city hall auditorium were mesmerized and devoted themselves to the stage performance.
Finally, the performance ended. Although there was no curtain call because it was a performance, the students' spontaneous applause and cheers lasted for nearly ten minutes, which is rare in such an official performance.
At the time of award evaluation, "The First Floor in the World" won the first place in this cultural performance with undisputed results, allowing Master Yan to vigorously defeat old rivals such as Shuimu, Yan University, and Renmin University, which are good at drama.
Yan Ying and Zhongxi opera have no temper, and successfully showed their faces in this art performance, with unlimited glory.
After the performance, students like Gao Xianjun and others who went to participate in the event couldn't wait to return to Yanda, in order to come to the library to meet Lin Chaoyang and express their admiration and admiration.
Lin Chaoyang was surrounded by this group of students, and he was also surrounded by praises and praises. He didn't even have time to say anything modest.
The classmates are so enthusiastic. Even though he has published several novels, he has never received such treatment at Yanda!
Seeing that the off-duty time had passed and his colleagues were leaving the library one by one, Lin Chaoyang was unable to move forward. He couldn't help but complain in his heart: Where has all the reserve of you Yan University students gone?
After a long time, the students' excitement cooled down, and they finally let Lin Chaoyang go.
He returned home with lingering fear. Unexpectedly, he was hugged by his uncle as soon as he entered the door.
"Chaoyang! It's blocked! It's so awesome!"
"Brother, be gentle!"
Lin Chaoyang patted his uncle's back with his hand and finally broke away from his warm embrace.
"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. No matter how good someone says it is, it will never be as shocking as seeing it live. Chaoyang, your writing in this book is great! It's great!"
After letting go of Lin Chaoyang, Tao Yucheng still praised excitedly.
"Brother, what are you..."
"I just came back from the art performance. My dear, our Chinese Drama School and Yanying School, two schools that are famous for drama, were completely defeated by your performance of "The First Floor in the World"!" Tao Yucheng said with a smile.
.
Oh, yes, he almost forgot that his uncle was in the movie.
However, my school's drama was canceled by another school. Why are you so happy, uncle?
"Dad, Mom, I'm telling you, you must go see this play written by Chaoyang, it's amazing!" Tao Yucheng recommended "The First Floor in the World" to his parents.
In the past few days, the news about "The First Floor in the World" has been lingering in their ears.
Tao Yushu was busy with this some time ago, and later Tao Yumo begged to see it again. When he came back, he was full of emotion. Today, it is Tao Yucheng who praises it again.
Father Tao said with a smile: "Everyone has been discussing this play written by Chaoyang recently!"
Tao Yucheng joked: "Dad, you must have heard people praise Chaoyang often, right?"
"Haha!" Father Tao smiled and said nothing, it was self-evident.
A few people were talking when Tao Yushu came back from outside. She also went to participate in the art performance today. She went back to school with everyone to deliver props, so she came back a little late.
"What are you talking about?" she asked as soon as she walked in and saw the lively chat at home.
"What else can we talk about? Let's talk about Chaoyang's masterpiece. Although he didn't go to this art performance, he made a big splash! By the way, I also heard that some people from the arts came to watch the performance today."
Tao Yucheng said.
"Really? I don't even know."
Tao Yushu took off his coat and hung it up, and then said: "The response to "The First Floor" is really good, and it won the first prize this time!"
Tao Yucheng lamented: "It's a pity that there is no money to win prizes at the performance. Even if we give some prizes, there are so many people and it's not enough."
"It's an honor!"
Although Tao Yushu is usually obsessed with money, at this time he has a sense of collective honor.
"However, this time I heard that we trampled Shuimu and Yanda under our feet, and the school leaders were very happy and said they would reward us!"
After hearing what she said, Tao Yucheng joked: "It's not a small amount to be rewarded by so many people. Besides, your school can't forget Chaoyang, a great hero."
Tao Yushu said with a smile: "You have to discuss this issue with our school leaders."
The brother and sister were telling jokes when there was a knock on the door.
