Chapter 146 Party One
The evening of December 31st.
The long-prepared New Year's Eve party is about to begin.
On this day, the entire campus was decorated with lights and streamers, especially the auditorium of the office building, which was decorated with joy.
The auditorium was built in 1926. It was the main building when the school was first built. The Kirin and Danchi in front of the building are relics of the Old Summer Palace, as well as a pair of Chinese watches built in the seventh year of Qianlong's reign.
The auditorium is magnificently built, with seating for a thousand people inside, but today there are more than a thousand people in the entire auditorium? Not only the original seats, but also the aisles and aisles on the second floor are crowded with students from all grades.
People are wearing their best clothes and their faces are beaming with joy, because today is not only a New Year's Eve party, but also an important day to bid farewell to the 1970s and welcome the arrival of the new 1980s.
In later generations, this auditorium was renovated, adding to the atmosphere of the times. Now the auditorium basically maintains its original appearance both inside and outside. When walking into the auditorium, I saw that the auditorium was crowded and lively. Song Yuanchao and his classmates felt the same.
An atmosphere filled with vitality.
The seats are roughly divided according to grades, but many students do not sit like this. Those who come early invite their friends to sit together, while those who come late can only find places to sit. Those who come later still have to sit together.
There was no room left, so we could only stand in the aisle or go up to the second floor and lean on the long railing, talking with three or five people, looking at the stage that had been decorated and the curtain drawn with interest.
Song Yuanchao arrived with Lin Yan. Because Song Yuanchao and the others had a performance, their positions were closer to the right and slightly in front. A little ahead of them were the positions of school leaders and teachers. Some of them were older and had gray hair.
The teachers have already taken their seats, looking at the stage in front of them with smiles, looking forward to the start of the performance.
When the 19 o'clock bell rang, the stage curtain slowly opened, and the two hosts walked to the microphone. In generous and emotional tones, they first reviewed the glory of the Capital University over the past century, and then reviewed the achievements of these years.
After a storm, the party was officially announced to begin.
Without the leader's speech, the whole party was less solemn, but it added a lively atmosphere.
The climax was set off in the first program, which was "Love in the Yan Garden" sung by senior students from various departments in the 77th grade. Lin Yan was also on stage today. She was not the lead singer, but stood on the left side of the second row.
Everyone in the crowd wore the same clothes and makeup, but Song Yuanchao saw Lin Yan in the crowd at a glance and saw the muse in his mind.
"The flying snow in the red building is a hero for a moment..."
The music started, and the clear voice of a girl who was singing the lead began to sing. When the second line was sung, the boy who was singing the lead added lyrically: "Remembering the past and seeing each other again, the sun passes thousands of miles away..."
Soon, the chorus sounded at the same time: "We come from the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River, and are in love with the towns and countryside. We go to the ends of the world, pointing to the three mountains and five mountains. Today we have peach trees in the east wind, and we use our youth to complete our homework. Tomorrow we will grow into a forest of giant trees, making China
Shock the world..."
As the singing echoed in the auditorium, all the students including the teachers couldn't help but stood up together and sang loudly along with the music: "Love in the Yan Garden, thousands of knots, asking the young man's thoughts, there is no water in the eyes, and the moon of the Yellow River in the chest..."
"
The song "Love in the Yan Garden" was sung three times until the music gradually disappeared and the whole auditorium fell into silence. Suddenly, the warm applause sounded like a volcanic eruption, and countless people's eyes sparkled.
My heart is filled with immense pride and pride and a firm belief in the future.
After the performance, Lin Yan quickly got off the stage from the side. She squeezed through the crowd on her tiptoes and returned to her seat.
"Singing is so good!" Song Yuanchao said sincerely as he looked at Lin Yan, who had a slight sweat on her face, and took out a handkerchief to gently wipe it off for her.
"I am a member of the chorus. With so many people together, can you tell whether I sing well or not?" Lin Yan looked at Song Yuanchao with a smile and asked.
"Of course, no matter how many people there are, you can't cover up your voice. I think you can actually sing better than the classmate who is the lead singer. You should be the lead singer." Song Yuanchao whispered to Lin Yan, and Lin Yan suddenly had a look on her face.
Hong, pinched him quietly. Although the back of Song Yuanchao's hand hurt, he didn't care at all. Instead, he looked at Lin Yan happily.
"By the way, where's Xiaoyun? Why didn't you see her?" There were too many classmates around, and it seemed that Lin Yan was not used to being such a spoiler, so she deliberately changed the subject and asked.
"She's sitting in the back. This girl came late and I saw her as soon as you got ready. She didn't want to let her come over to sit. Why don't she join in with a few classmates?" Song Yuanchao stretched out his hand and pointed to the back, along the
Lin Yan pointed in the direction of Song Yuan's finger, and Lin Yan quickly found Li Xiaoyun. This girl was huddled together with several female classmates in their class, laughing and chatting about something. The strange thing was that Luo Yang was also beside them.
.
However, they were a little far away and Lin Yan couldn't hear what they were talking about. Anyway, they looked very interested. At this time, the announcer began to announce the next program. Lin Yan turned her head and watched with Song Yuanchao attentively.
performed.
The chorus was followed by a poetry recitation, performed by students from the Chinese Department of Class 78.
This classmate took the stage and recited Gorky's "Petrel". His recitation was full of emotion. In the majestic poem, one seemed to see the petrel flying through the air, and felt that the petrel was fearless in the face of the storm.
The black elves shuttle through the wind and rain, facing the difficulties with momentum...
When the syllables of the last high-spirited sentence fell, the scene also burst into warm applause. Although the applause did not last for a full minute like the chorus just now, it also made the reciting classmate extremely happy. He solemnly addressed the audience to the audience.
After the teacher and classmates bowed and saluted, they walked backstage.
"The next program is an excerpt from the Greek classical tragedy "Oedipus", jointly performed by students from the History Department of Class 77 and Class 78." When the announcer announced the content of the next program, the scene was filled with excitement.
The Greek classical tragedy "Oedipus" is a very famous drama. Although many students do not know it, there are also many students who know it. Many people simply do not believe their ears.
, today’s party will actually stage this tragedy? Even an excerpt from it.
But when the curtain at the back slowly opened, everyone could clearly see several students standing at various locations on the stage. These students were wearing ancient Greek robes and golden wigs on their heads.
Among them, the prophet's robe is light red, holding a wooden stick, and his granddaughter in white robe is nestling next to him. The queen's robe is milky white, with a golden crown on her head. King Oedipus's robe is the most gorgeous
, the dark robe is inlaid with gold trim, and he also holds a golden scepter symbolizing authority in his hand...
The appearance of these characters made everyone look at the stage intently, looking forward to their wonderful performances.
Speaking of "Oedipus", I'm afraid many people don't know it, but when it comes to the drama "Thunderstorm", almost everyone doesn't know it. In fact, the plot of the latter is borrowed from the former, but compared with the latter "Oedipus"
He is more critical and his anatomy of human nature is more fruitless.
When the performance started, some of the teachers sitting in the front row watched the performances of their classmates with interest, but a few showed very unhappy expressions, but no one paid attention to this. Almost everyone
I turned my attention to the stage and gradually became immersed in the charm of this great drama.
Twenty minutes later, when the excerpt of this scene was completed and the performing students bowed to the audience, a thunderous applause suddenly sounded. Many students and teachers could not help but stand up and cheer for the students on the stage with excited and encouraging smiles.
Applause for a wonderful performance.
Lin Yan, who was sitting below, had her eyes moistened unconsciously, and a tear slipped quietly down her cheek.
"The performance was really good!" Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh. In fact, the expressions of the classmates on the stage could not be said to be good. Due to the lack of preparation for the rehearsal and the fact that they were not majoring in drama, their performance could only be said to be reluctant, but they performed
It captures the essence and conflicts in the play, making people ignore these shortcomings.
In this era, it was unprecedented to be able to perform such a play in public. It allowed many students to intuitively feel the charm and influence of art for the first time, and Lin Yan was one of them.
"It's very good, but it's a pity that there's only one scene." Song Yuanchao said with emotion at the same time. It would be great if he could watch the whole drama.
"You have to be careful." Suddenly, Lin Yan whispered to Song Yuanchao.
Song Yuanchao showed a puzzled expression.
"Look, every performance is so wonderful, what will happen if you don't shine?" Lin Yan asked deliberately with a smile on her face.
"Ouch, this is really difficult to handle. Isn't this embarrassing?" Song Yuanchao patted his forehead and made a sad face, then asked, "How about Yanzi, how about I find a reason to hide from you? I'll wait for you later.
Just run away first, and when people ask about it, they will say that I have a bad stomach after dinner and can’t go on stage?"
Hearing what Song Yuanchao said, Lin Yan's eyes suddenly widened with an expression of disbelief, but she soon understood that Song Yuanchao was teasing her on purpose. Lin Yan was so angry that she twisted him over without politeness.
Song Yuanchao bared his teeth.
"Take it easy, how can you get on stage if your screws are broken?" Song Yuanchao complained as he rubbed his arms. Seeing Lin Yan give him a rollicking look, Song Yuanchao leaned close to Lin Yan's ear and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you are not the right partner for me.
So useless? I will definitely not let you down when the time comes."
The program continued, and the next few programs were not as amazing as the first ones, but they were still pretty good. Soon it was the turn of Song Yuanchao's class, which was the cross talk performance of Yang Zhengqing and Sun Yaoliang.
Today, Lao Yang and Sun Yaoliang specially wore long robes. Lao Yang was originally tall and burly, but when he wore this long robe, it did not show his elegance but instead showed his strength. He didn't look like a scholar, but he looked a bit like the old society.
thug.
As for Sun Yaoliang, it's even more funny. His gown doesn't fit very well, and it looks like he needs to be one size too big. Coupled with his slim figure and long pointed mouth and monkey cheeks, everyone's first impression is that he looks like a dogleg in the movie.
Chapter completed!
