On the morning of March 18, the Ministry of Rites began to distribute floating tickets. The square in front of the government hall was crowded, and more than 3,000 tribute students gathered here to receive their own admission tickets one by one. There is personal information, physical characteristics, the ranking of the autumn sturgeon, and the number of the house for this spring exam. As soon as the floating ticket is issued, it means that the autumn exam has entered the real countdown.

After the floating tickets were issued, Kong Shangde, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Wu Chunlai, the director of the military ceremonial room of the Political Affairs Hall, jointly read out the will of the imperial court, and it was scheduled to hold the undergraduate spring examination in the examination room of the Great Zhou Gongyuan in five days. Wu Chunlai also said some words of encouragement, Lin Jue was in a hurry below, and as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Jue hurriedly fled here.

Wu Chunlai originally wanted to leave Lin Jue to speak, but when he learned that Lin Jue had already left, he blew his beard angrily and scolded a few words, but he could only give up.

Lin Jue was anxious that today was the opening day of the Grand Theater, because he was going to come to collect the floating tickets in person, so everyone was ready, waiting for him to rush to the Grand Theater for the opening ceremony. Originally, the sooner the opening was opened, the better, but after the time was consumed, how could Lin Jue not be anxious.

When Lin Jue hurried to the Grand Theater, a group of people in front of the door were waiting anxiously. The invited lion and dragon dancers all sat on the ground and waited, a group of people in the grand theater stood with wide eyes, and a large group of onlookers had already dispersed because they couldn't wait. The scene was rather deserted.

Seeing Lin Jue appear, Xie Danhong and Xie Yingying breathed a sigh of relief, and said 'Amitabha Buddha' to the sky. After Lin Jue apologized, he immediately ordered the opening ceremony to begin. The cannons roared, the firecrackers crackled, the gongs and drums made a fuss, and the listless colorful lions and dragons also jumped with the gongs and drums. The scattered people gathered again, and the scene became lively in an instant.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After some jubilation, Lin Jue and Xie Yingying pulled the corner of the colored ribbon on the lintel and opened it at the same time. The colorful silk floated down, revealing a huge signboard with gold letters on a red background. The signboard reads: Jiangnan Grand Theater. Next to it, small characters are written in small letters: the first semicolon of Beijing. This signboard was written by Lin Jue a few days ago, and it was framed and hung on the lintel last night.

"Good!" People inside and outside applauded, the doors of the theater opened, and the people were invited to come in and see the layout of the theater. The people poured in with curious expressions, passed through a patio passage inside the door, passed through two gates, and entered the theater of the Grand Theater.

But I saw a huge stage in front of me that was brightly lit and colorful, and the seats in the theater were arranged in a stepped pattern from high to low. Each of the seats is a large mahogany chair with a lot of water, and there is a beautiful coffee table between the two chairs. This is the ordinary seat of the theater, and it is like a private seat.

The space above is both high and wide, the second floor and the first floor are connected together, and the circle of boxes on the second floor is arranged in an arc, which is the most open view. When the crowd enters, the theater is lit up, and the lights shine overhead like stars, illuminating the entire theater without any dead ends. This kind of lamp is unheard of and unseen by the people, and it is the latest lighting equipment newly invented by Lin Jue. The glass is the bright light of the calcium carbide lamp with tin foil behind the lampshade. The foil does not focus the light, the folds of the tin foil can scatter the light from all angles, but the foil is not weakly reflective, so the light is bright but not dazzling, and even has the effect of a shadowless lamp.

Someone muttered in a low voice and asked, in such a large theater, can the people on the stage hear it clearly? Lin Jue couldn't help but smile when he heard such a question. How did these people know that this problem was exposed in Hangzhou and had already been resolved. Unbeknownst to them, the walls on both sides of the stage were inlaid with dozens of bamboo pipes, and there were large horns at the side curtain of the stage to collect sound and transmit the sound to the honeycomb-like sound outlets at the back of the theater, forming a dual-channel environment similar to surround sound. Not only can you clearly hear every line and singing paragraph on the stage, but also produce a sense of truth and fullness.

An hour later, the theater cleared and the doors closed. The cast and crew went to the backyard to eat, and then the actors began to dress up and prepare, the gatekeepers, the ticket checkers, the orderliness, the tea and water pourers, and the guides were in place, everything was in full swing and in an orderly manner.

After noon, the first batch of more than 100 spectators were delivered to the Xiatuqiao Pier in the north of the street by free boats hired to receive spectators at several large piers in the Bianhe River. Then he was led by a special person to the Qianlai Theater, and checked his identity twice at the ticket gate before entering.

Soon after, horse-drawn carriages also gathered, these are large family spectators, they are not rare to have any free pick-up, each of them has their own car. The little prince Guo Kun and the little county lord Guo Caiwei came, and Ma Bin also came on horseback. Groups of spectators rushed to the entrance. Lin Jue stood at the door from beginning to end and greeted him with a smile, and when the miscellaneous servants who checked the tickets reported that all the five hundred and forty-eight spectators had entered and the ticket stubs had been collected, Lin Jue turned around and entered with satisfaction.

With a clang, the door of the theater was tightly closed, and seven or eight nurses stood at the door. The people outside the door were envious, they were not qualified to go in to watch the play, they could only stare outside. Soon after, there was a roar of cheers, followed by the sound of silk and bamboo drums, wisps of clear sound wafting out, accompanied by bursts of laughter and applause from time to time.

The people outside are even more itchy and yearning. The drama in it must be very exciting, otherwise why is the atmosphere so enthusiastic. They hated themselves for not seizing the opportunity early, and it was said that the first 100 applicants could get the opportunity to watch the play for free, but at that time they felt that it didn't matter, and felt that a play was nothing remarkable. But now that I have been excluded, I regret it more and more.

People are sometimes so cheap, you won't cherish what you give to you, but what you can't get is always in turmoil.

……

In the theater, the show starts on time at the beginning of the day. Knock knock drums beat a few times, the lights of the city went out, and the theater fell into darkness. The bustling theater fell silent immediately, and all eyes were on the faint lights that lit the stage. In a flash, the stage was brightly lit, and all the characters and background props seemed to emerge from nothingness at once, and a pleasant scene of spring and Jingming was instantly unfolded in front of you.

The scenery of the illusion light curtain that surrounds half of the theater outlines the mountain scenery of distant mountains, green trees, and pavilions. In the background of the stage, there are rows of neat and bright houses, and a group of scholars are sitting in them reading poetry books.

But I saw the white clouds fluttering slowly in the clear blue sky in the background, and the flowers and trees seemed to sway gently with the wind. Birds on the branches of the trees bounce between the branches. The water in the mountains is actually flowing, and there are occasional splashes and fish jumping out......

Where is the background, this is simply the real scene. Everything is real, the colors are bright and the light is bright, making you feel like you're in the middle of the scene. The audience in the capital is also a well-informed person, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, what kind of wonderful things have not been seen, but the virtual scene of the stage in front of them is real, and the ability to be lifelike has exceeded their psychological expectations. So, after a short silence, thunderous applause rang out like a raging storm. The sound of applause resounded in the theater. Even those who had no expectations were shocked by this meeting, and those who came with expectations were extremely satisfied.

In the largest and most luxurious box in the middle of the second floor, the little prince Guo Kun applauded and nodded to Lin Jue, who was sitting next to him. Guo Kun actually has no interest in watching dramas and visiting restaurants, but he also has to be admired by Lin Jue's ingenuity and methods. On the other side, the little county lord had already slapped his face, looking at Lin Jue's eyes with admiration and admiration. Guo Kun saw it in his eyes, but pretended not to see it.

The plot of the first act is simple, explaining the identities of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, Zhu Yingtai disguised herself as a man to study in the academy, and lived with Liang Shanbo for three years, and her relationship was very strong. Zhu Yingtai had a love for Liang Shanbo, but he didn't dare to say it. Three years, rushing by and about to go home, Zhu Yingtai said that he would use the last opportunity to let Liang Shanbo know that he was a woman. I hope to tie the knot with him.

At the beginning of the second act, Zhu Yingtai was about to go down the mountain, and Liang Shanbo sent Zhu Yingtai down the mountain. When the two people walked down the mountain road, the light and shadow in the background flowed, the shape of the mountain changed, and as the two walked around, the angle of the scenery also changed, which was simply fantastic.

The audience was amazed, and regardless of the repertoire, just seeing this scene was worth it. However, the excitement of the plot and lines also exceeded their imagination.

On the stage, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai walked out of the academy with the scholars Sijiu and Yinxin, and a magpie chirped on the tree in front of the door. Zhu Yingtai turned his eyebrows slightly, pointed to the magpie and sang: A plum branch in front of the door of the study, and the birds on the tree are fighting against each other. Magpies are chirping all over the trees, reporting good news to your brother Liang.

Liang Shanbo smiled and sang: The two brothers went out, and the magpies in front of the door were in pairs. The magpie has always reported good news, congratulations to the virtuous brother on returning home safely.

Zhu Yingtai had no choice but to stomp his feet, in addition to being discharged from the hospital and going down the mountain, the scenery changed, Zhu Yingtai sang: Out of the academy and down the mountain, but I saw the woodcutter on the mountain carrying firewood.

Liang Shanbo nodded and sang stupidly: How hard it is to get up early and fall at night, and it is also difficult to get by.

Zhu Yingtai sings: Brother Liang! Who did he carry firewood? For which do you send down the mountain?

Liang Shanbo: He carried firewood for his wife and children, and I will send your virtuous brother down the mountain.

Zhu Yingtai stared and stomped his feet, speechless with anger. The audience burst into laughter and applause.

……

Zhu Yingtai: Qingqing lotus leaf clear water pond, mandarin ducks in pairs and pairs. Brother Liang! If Yingtai is a woman with red makeup, Brother Liang, would you like to wear mandarin ducks?

Liang Shanbo: With mandarin ducks, with mandarin ducks, it's a pity that you are not a woman with red makeup.

Zhu Yingtai glared and gritted his teeth, the audience laughed, and someone lamented: "Hey, this stupid scholar, it's really a desperate death." ”

The scenery changes, the water of the small river, and there are geese on the river.

Silver Heart: There is a river ahead,

Forty-nine: A pair of big white geese floated in.

Zhu Yingtai: The male walks in front, and the female is called brother in the back.

Liang Shanbo: If you don't see two geese to speak, how can there be a female goose called a male goose?

Zhu Yingtai: When you don't see the female goose, she smiles at you, and she laughs at your brother Liang like a goose.

Liang Shanbo: Since I am a stupid goose, don't call me Brother Liang from now on.

Lovers:......

The audience was already laughing and out of breath.

"It's really a stupid goose, how can there be such a stupid scholar." The audience shouted.

Along the way, eighteen miles away, Zhu Yingtai used a variety of ways to hint, but Liang Shanbo just didn't understand. The conflict effect of this comedy made the audience laugh constantly, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.
