After Zhou Hua came back from the movie, he found his sister and told her about the design of the cinema.
After all, the Kong family has been developing overseas for more than 30 years, so it is not surprising that they learned the technology there. Moreover, tiered classrooms have appeared in China for several years, so it is understandable that they are used in theaters.
"Third brother, don't underestimate the Kong family just because I suppressed their pharmaceutical technology. They have recruited talents from almost every walk of life. They have been overseas for more than 30 years, so they must have learned a lot of Western technology. It's even possible that they secretly bribed Western talents.
Last year, their phones had semi-touch screens, so they should be able to find breakthroughs in areas we haven’t touched upon.”
"Well, sister, do you and your uncle have any new ideas?"
"Yes, wait a minute. There's no rush. Many of the technologies we've developed are still in their early stages. Let them hone their skills until they're mature, and then we can learn from them and innovate."
Zhou Hua laughed, "Sister, what you said is too literary."
"I am a civilized person."
"I don't think so."
Xiao Chunmei went upstairs to look after the three treasures for a while before coming downstairs. As soon as she came down, Zhou Hua pulled her to the north building because it was time to rest.
The difference in the cinema soon spread throughout the town. Those who had enjoyed it at half price last night were happily showing off to others because the original price would be restored today.
The bus that picked up passengers naturally also promoted the cinema. Winter vacation had begun, and many students who were on vacation followed their grandparents and took the free bus to shop and play bumper cars. When they heard that there was a movie to watch, they changed their plan to return in the morning and simply returned in the afternoon.
The lunch break on the bus was perfect for them to watch movies and play bumper cars.
What can the grandparents do? The grandchildren are older, so they let them go out to play alone while they sit on the first floor, eat something, and wait.
My grandchildren are still young, so I can only go to the cinema with them.
The novel design of the cinema has broadened the horizons of the elderly. It’s nice to enjoy it for a while. I’ll let the children come too next time.
Lu Jin looked at the grandparents sitting idle on the first floor, then at the large open space under the patio. He took out his phone and called his eldest brother to explain the situation. "Big brother, how about building an opera stage in this open space on the first floor patio? It would be perfect for the elderly."
Ling Ran looked at his wife. He always pressed the hands-free button when answering calls in front of his wife.
Zhou Xiang nodded. Lu Jin's brain was really quick! She said to the phone Ling Ran handed over, "Lu Jin, go find the opera troupe and tell them that they'll only be providing the venue for free. Whether they can get tips from the audience will depend on their real skills."
"Yes, I'll go look for it right away."
After hanging up the phone with Lu Jin, Zhou wanted to call Guanjia Village and look for Guan Tao.
When Guan Tao heard they were looking for him, he went straight to Zhou's house and asked, "Is there any work for me?"
"Yes, you and Ling Ran go to the mall and build a stage in the middle of the first floor. An open-air stage without a backstage."
Guan Tao didn't understand, so Ling Ran took him to see the scene and then explained it to him.
Because there was no backstage, Zhou Xiang's request was to build the stage according to the largest size of 18 meters * 20 meters, and to expand the outer perimeter of the stage by 2 meters, 30 centimeters lower than the middle stage, as a place for people to play drums and gongs or do other miscellaneous music.
Without a backstage, there is no direction to go, and people can watch from all sides. There are steps leading to the stage facing the west gate and the north gate.
Guan Tao pointed to the sign that read "Delicious Food Every Customer Will Never Forget," and asked, "Where's this sign?"
"It can be withdrawn or moved, it won't affect anything."
"Well, since you need it urgently, I'll go back and arrange the materials and start work tonight."
"Okay! Let's hurry up and take the wood to the lumberyard to be cut!"
"Yeah! I can't cut through so many big pieces of wood!"
Lu Jin naturally went to the town cultural center. When the director heard about it, he also thought it was feasible. Nowadays, opera culture is in decline, and those opera lovers have no place to perform. If there is a free venue, they can indeed sing for free. Since the audience is older, they all really understand opera. If there are people who really give coins as rewards, it can be helpful to earn some money for food.
"Are you going now?"
Lu Jin didn't expect the director to be so anxious. "Director, the stage is being set up. It takes time. Besides, don't you need to rehearse? A good opening is the most important thing, right? If there are any unique folk talents, you can also incorporate them."
"The stage is still being set up, which means it will take at least two or three days. Okay, I'll have them rehearse for a while, and then go find someone in the village who can perform drum rap."
The next day, customers who were enjoying the food found that a rudimentary stage had been built under the patio. They held their bowls and chatted with Guan Tao who was working.
Guan Tao answered while working.
When the customer heard that this would be a stage for opera, he almost choked himself, "Then, then, do I need to buy a ticket when I come to eat next time?"
Guan Tao stood up straight. "Bullshit! It's free for you to see. It's so beautiful! You've never seen a place like this where customers can enjoy themselves. They can have a meal and listen to free opera. And those women in your family are still making fun of others. Humph! A horse doesn't know how long its face is."
Guan Tao snorted, this guy didn't care at all, "Free?"
"Yes, it's free. If I feel comfortable with it, I can just leave after listening. If I feel uncomfortable with it, I can give a little tip to the person who worked so hard to perform the opera."
"This, this, this, isn't this similar to the street vendors who sold art during the fairs in the past?"
"Huh? You're such an uneducated person! You're devaluing everything beautiful when you say that. Why don't you say it's like a teahouse in a big city? You haven't seen the world, but you've probably watched TV, right?"
"Hehehe, I don't have a TV at home either."
"Can't you eat less and save some money to buy one? Look at all that fat on you."
"No," the man hugged the bowl to his arms, "eat less, it will kill you."
Guan Tao waved his hand to drive him away, "Okay, okay, take your life away now."
Soon, Guan Tao was surrounded by a group of people.
"Carpenter Guan, is this really a stage where you can watch and listen to operas for free?"
Guan Tao didn't even raise his head. "If you keep chatting with me, I'll just do it slowly. I don't care anyway."
"No, no, no, that's all we're asking. Leave now."
Guan Tao stood up straight again and raised his voice, "Yes, this is the stage where you can watch the show for free. You can give tips, and the tips go to the troupe. Here, Zhou Xiang won't accept a penny. Do you understand? Go back and control those chatterboxes in your family. They keep gossiping about others all day long. You have your own shortcomings and faults. Why don't you talk about your own faults?"
Guan Tao felt sorry for Zhou Xiang. He was clearly trying to increase the popularity of the town and change it, but this bunch of ignorant people didn't know anything and were even hindering him.
"Yes, yes, you are right. Let's go home and teach them a lesson."
Everyone quickly dispersed. Guan Tao was a well-known stubborn man in Guanjia Village. If he got angry, he would be even more difficult to deal with than Lao Shi.
Lao Shi was cursing people on the street without mentioning any names.
This Guan Tao, if he could follow someone home, he would have to convince them with his nagging.
