After saying that, Huo Qianli bowed to the crowd. Grand, warm and long-lasting applause and cheers rang out. It was unclear how much of it was for Huo Qianli's words and how much was because the leader's speech had finally ended.
Huo Qianli sat back in his seat and the performance officially began.
Although they are all in the form of stage plays overall, there are still differences in details.
For example, some are more song-and-dance oriented, weakening the plot and stringing together the entire performance with a few songs;
Some are more drama-oriented, more realistic, and connected by dialogue;
Some take the comedy route, others take the red and professional route;
But objectively speaking, for the audience with limited appreciation level, these are not important. Being able to see familiar friends or buddies around them standing on the stage and performing like ordinary people is absolutely a great joy.
The order of appearance still follows the old rules that are unified among all the villages in Qianfu Town: drawing lots.
I don’t know whether it was good luck or bad luck, but Gao Qiang caught the first one on behalf of Zhuyang Village.
So while Huo Qianli was still speaking, they had already put on their makeup and were waiting backstage.
When the huge curtain that had been replaced several times over the past thirty or forty years was closed and opened again, the actors from Zhuyang Village were already in place on the stage, ready to tell a story that condensed thirty or forty years of time.
The theme of the story is that new buds sprout from an old tree.
It tells the story of how Zhuyang Village was once popular in this large area with its popular bamboo craftsmanship, how it was abandoned and gradually fell into desolation under the trend of the times, and then how it seized the entry point of cultural creativity and folk customs to regain its vitality and find direction and hope.
These down-to-earth plots, coupled with the careful guidance of the drama teacher, even if the performers' level is still raw, the overall effect is already good.
While the audience from the various villages below were watching with rapt attention, the business owners who had originally planned to just pass by for the show also watched with great interest.
At the end of the performance, Mr. Han from Mingting Industrial, who was sitting next to Huo Qianli, clapped his hands and whispered to Huo Qianli, "This show is good. It reminds me of my hometown. It was also a famous tailor village in the past. Many young girls came to the village to learn tailoring, but it gradually declined. It's a pity that they didn't meet a leader like you. Now there are only a few old people in the village."
Huo Qianli felt that nothing he could say was appropriate, so he could only smile and say, "Boss Han can now give back to his hometown. A successful entrepreneur like you is much better than us so-called leaders who can only shout slogans."
President Han smiled bitterly and shook his head, turning his gaze back to the stage.
The successful launch of the first shot in Zhuyang Village gave confidence to those who followed, but also brought pressure.
The host stood in front of the curtain to introduce the show, and the next program was already being urgently arranged.
One show after another was performed, some were of high standard, some were not so high. Fortunately, everyone was quite tolerant and did not hesitate to give applause.
In fact, most of the people here, while paying attention to their own programs, are most looking forward to the programs of Hushan Village.
After all, Hushan Village today has money, people, and so many real stories to tell.
But they didn't expect that the real shock came from an unexpected village.
The male host stood in front of the curtain and said in a loud voice, "Please enjoy the show "After the Breach of Contract", the performance team is: Zhengfeng Village!"
