Chapter 596: Ingenuity
"I thought it would be very hot on this hot day, with so many people gathered here, but I didn't expect it to be not hot at all, and even a little cold. Lin Gongzi, what's going on? Miss Qianqian asked coquettishly.
Lin Jue laughed and said, "You don't understand this, I'll teach you a long insight today." Do you think there's a real place under our Grand Theater? I'll tell you the truth, there's a big pool down there. It was paved with bluestone strips, all of which were drilled. The top is separated by wooden boards. Do you know what water does? The role of water is to absorb hot air and release it slowly. If it can be circulated, all the heat in the theater will be taken away. And the water down there is just flowing. In weather like this, cool water is pumped in in the early hours of the morning, so the entire theater can stay cool in the early hours of the morning. ”
“……”
A group of women were dumbfounded, not knowing what Lin Jue was talking about. It's so complicated, they don't understand. In fact, Lin Jue used the simplest water cooling method. When the Grand Theater was renovated, it was found that there were two wells in the backyard of the Grand Theater. Lin Jue remembered the method of storing water in the patio used by the ancients to keep it cool, so he asked people to dig a grid-shaped pond under the Grand Theater. Taking advantage of the difference in water level height between two wells, water from the two wells can be circulated into them. The temperature of the well water can be imagined, as if a huge central air conditioner was installed underground. In such a hot season, it has an excellent effect. These principles are naturally not understood by these women.
But then Lin Jue's words were understood.
"Of course, this is not enough, hundreds of people gather in this theater, and in this season, it is not enough to have a water cooling system, and other powerful means are needed. For example, if you look at the top of the ring on the second floor. The thick, round thing. The one with the little holes open one by one. Lin Jue pointed to the inner side of the inner ring on the second floor.
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, there were round tubes with holes around the second floor.
"What does that do?" Qianqian asked.
"It's air-conditioning. There are two ice rooms in the front and back of the stage. There must have been a lot of ice there. And, of course, a couple of windmills. What is the white gas coming out of those little holes? It was all windmills that poured cold air into these pipes and leaked out of the holes. The air conditioner sinks, so that all the cold air can sink into the ground to cool down. This is called a two-pronged approach to keep you comfortable and cool in the Grand Theatre on a hot day. Otherwise, do you think that these people are willing to spend money to come here to suffer? All the services have to keep up. Business is so good is not something that is said on the lips, it needs to be thought of bit by bit. ”
The women suddenly realized and admired it incomparably. As Lin Jue said, everything is not obtained out of thin air, and details determine success or failure. Opening a theater may be a good idea, and it's a good business that can make money, but without these trivial designs, even a good idea might not be where it is now.
Lu Wu looked at Lin Jue with some smugness and pride, she knew everything about this theater. She also knew that all the designs and ideas here were come up with by her son. It's not just the water-cooled and air-conditioned system. In addition, there is a sound transmission system throughout the theater so that all corners of the theater can hear the sound of the stage. There is also a slide projection set system that surrounds the walls of the Grand Theatre. On the stage, it can rotate backwards, backwards, lefts, and right, and even the stage system that can be flipped upside down, etc. Everything is Childe's masterpiece.
Only Midori Wu knows how many late nights Childe has drawn all kinds of strange shapes and round gear shafts on the paper one by one. There are at least thousands of discarded graphic papers in the paper basket at home. in exchange for the effect that Childe really wants to achieve.
Midori didn't know how Childe knew this, and she didn't really want to know the answer. The most important thing is that this omnipotent person is his own son, his own husband, and being able to marry this person and serve him by his side is the proudest thing in his life.
On the stage below, the gong sounded three times, and for a moment, the cacophony of the theater fell silent. As the starry lights overhead faded one after another, only a few beams of light shone on the stage shining on the red curtain. The next moment, as the silk and bamboo instruments sounded, the curtain opened, and the performance officially began.
This play called "Splendid Story" is from the repertoire team of the Grand Theater, but in fact, in terms of content, it is just a drama of talented and beautiful people, and it is not too brilliant. This is also the most popular drama at present, which can meet the needs of the audience, and this is enough. But the most fascinating part of the play is actually at the end of the play.
After going through all kinds of tribulations, when the hero and heroine finally got married, there was a fragment of a harmonious ensemble in the mountains. This light film segment evolved from the light curtain drama designed by Lin Jue in the Hangzhou Three Cities Oiran Contest that year. At the last moment, the hero and heroine sit opposite each other, and they are singing on the top of the cliff. Accompanied by the sound of beautiful music, the clouds and waterfalls fall in the sky, and above the water curtain, the light is bizarre, the fish and birds are flying, and the colorful phoenix spreads its wings. The slide is projected on the thin water curtain, and with the instability of the water flow, the birds and beasts on it are also lifelike, waving their wings and teeth, as if they are alive.
Finally, the entire theater is surrounded by walls and overhead, with steep rocks, towering peaks, deep canyons, and rushing rivers. In just a few breaths, all the images of mountain peaks, cliffs and deep valleys are occupied by the pictures of flowers blooming. In the last few breaths, the scene of thousands of flowers blooming in front of me is simply incredible. Where have the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty seen these methods? This kind of technique of slide projection was only available in later generations, and it took artists to draw thousands of images on thin, transparent glass sheets in just a few breaths.
But the hard work and the means obviously paid off enormously. In the last short song, countless stunned mouths were opened in amazement, and countless applause were received. Every viewer who spent money felt that it was worth it. Not only watched a good show of talented and beautiful women, but also saw such a wonderful scene, it was really worth it.
Lin Jue's ears kept echoing with exclamations, most of which came from the girl Qianqian. The cold white ice also seemed to exclaim a few times. Lin Jue couldn't help but glance back at her a few times, and found that she was holding her mouth open and her expression was a little dull against the stage and the phantom lights around her, obviously she had never seen this kind of scene.
Compared with Qianqian and Bai Bing's performances, Guo Caiwei and Lu Wu were much calmer, just smiling and occasionally applauding. This made Qianqian extremely dissatisfied, and said to Green Dance: "You guys...... Isn't it surprising? It's a miracle, you don't feel it at all. ”
Midori Wu and the little county lord looked at each other and smiled, and said in their hearts: Of course we are not surprised, not only have we seen such a strange scene many times, but we also know what the principle behind it is. If you knew that it was a picture projected by sliding pieces of glass, you wouldn't think it was so unusual.
After the actor's curtain call, the applause thundered, the curtain fell, the flowers disappeared, and the lights turned on. The audience was greatly satisfied, and they left the venue one after another.
Lin Jue got up and said, "Let's go, let's go backstage and have a look." ”
Guo Caiwei nodded in response, and the group waited out of the box and went downstairs to the backstage. In the background, a group of women who are removing their makeup are jubilant. After seeing Lin Jue and the little county lord, they all stood and saluted. Lin Jue gave up his hard work, and took the opportunity to visit the people who manipulated the stage slide lantern and the musician, and praised him for his encouragement, and then came back.
There was already a lot of laughter in the background, Lin Jue watched the women chatting hotly from a distance, and the seven or eight women sat around Guo Caiwei, talking to her like a star. Guo Caiwei has a graceful demeanor and has the majesty of a housemother. Although the surrounding group of women are all beautiful, the difference in bearing is visible at a glance.
"Say what? So lively? Lin Jue sat on a stool and took a few sips of the tea that was brought up.
"I'm talking about last year's Tri-Castle Oiran Tournament. Didn't these girls all participate in the Oiran Contest at that time? Isn't the last part of today's play the same trick you used at the beginning? The little county lord smiled.
Lin Jue sighed, and then understood. Indeed, there are several red cards in the Oiran competition last year. Qin Xiaoxiao, Zheng Nuanyu and Miss Qianqian were all the most powerful figures in last year's Oiran Competition. Seeing tonight's performance, they must have remembered what happened last year.
"Miss Qin, Miss Zheng, Miss Liu'er, can you still adapt to this time? Have you found some doorways? Lin Jue asked with a smile.
Qin Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and smiled: "It's been hard for this time, Miss Yingying." Every day we are taught how to act and demonstrate. She still has to perform herself, and she has a lot of things to do, so it's so hard for her. If we don't grow any further, we won't be able to live up to her. I think I've made a lot of progress. ”
Zheng Nuanyu said with a smile: "Xiaoxiao, you can't talk so much, it's not up to you to say whether you have grown or not." I'm afraid it's not good for you to sell yourself so much. ”
Qin Xiaoxiao's smile trembled, and she waved her hand and said, "The slave family didn't mean that, the slave family just said that they had some experience." With the guidance of famous teachers like Yingying, can you not grow? ”
Lin Jue smiled: "Have you worshiped Yingying as a teacher?" Have you kowtowed to tea? ”
All the women laughed, and Xie Yingying said angrily: "Where do I dare to take them as apprentices." I can't take it on the table. I have to be fair, Xiaoxiao and Nuan Yuliu'er are very smart and learn quickly. A little bit is thorough, very spiritual. I see that it won't be long before I can go on stage. To be a pillar is for sure. ”
Lin Jue smiled: "Really? Then I'll take a test. How about I come up with a question? ”
Xie Yingying smiled: "Do you want to come here again?" You don't want to embarrass people with questions like 'pain but not sadness, sorrow but not sadness'. ”
