Teresa Teng's three songs, plus the friendly contributions of other actors, until the six-year-old child left the stage, a total of fifteen short shows were performed, which took almost an hour.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that these programs are equivalent to holding a small party in the Yunyuan Theater.

As for the excitement of these shows, they are no less exciting than regular performances.

In particular, the fun and sense of harmony created by the friendly interactions between the guests on and off the stage were actually very similar to the flavor of the first Spring Festival Gala in 1983.

It's just a pity that although having fun alone is not as good as having fun together, due to various taboos, such a good program and live atmosphere have not been able to be seen by the public.

No matter from the perspective of current domestic social ideology or personal interests, Ning Weimin can only keep everything that happens here confined to this theater and cannot be spread outside the theater.

This cannot but be said to be a pity.

Of course, if you look at it the other way around, it just goes to show how lucky the guests who have the fate to be here to attend this wedding today are.

For most people, being able to sit here today, eating delicious food, drinking fine wine, and watching such exciting programs by many Chinese and foreign stars is a rare occasion in their lives and an enjoyment they have never dreamed of. .

There are so many people who really wish this meal could last longer.

I sincerely hope that there will be an endless feast in this world.

But don't say it, although this idea seems to be overreaching and unrealistic.

But who makes Ning Weimin the real richest man in Beijing? How can his wedding be treated as normal?

In particular, all the content arrangements and pomp were arranged by our lady Jiang Nianyun, which is something that ordinary small families can never imagine.

So at least within a certain scope, this seemingly whimsical and false expectation can be considered to be satisfied to a certain extent.

Although speaking generally speaking, a banquet of wine and dinner only lasts for more than an hour.

The length of these fifteen programs was also just right. After the performance and eating, most of the guests should wipe their mouths and leave, saying goodbye and going home.

But Ning Weimin's wedding was not planned like this. It was a whole day of eating, drinking and having fun.

In fact, even after finishing this meal during the day, there is still a banquet at Zixi Tower in the west garden in the evening.

Naxi Tower not only has pavilions several feet high with colorful decorations, but also has lanterns and palace lanterns installed.

In the evening, we turn on the lights to entertain guests, and arrange some expressive music, single string, and drum performances on the small stage in the building.

Guests inside and outside the building can enjoy it while eating and drinking, which naturally adds another level of fun.

Not only that, but before the dinner party in the evening, I had to do some more vigorous whipping.

They were placed outside the theater and in front of the gate of Yunyuan Garden, making a total of tens of thousands of sounds.

And then there will be five-color fireworks and boxes of flowers sent by the Temple of Heaven Garden to congratulate each other, which is a rare and beautiful event.

(Real picture of Box Flower's "Good Weather")

Especially the box flowers, which are large-scale fireworks with contents stacked one on top of another, which can be set off layer by layer and linked with agency messages.

It is tangible, audible, colorful, gorgeous, endlessly changing, rich in content, and very magical.

Even Kang Shude and Jiang Nianyun thought that this thing was extinct, but it happened that because of the lantern festival held in the Temple of Heaven Park, they discovered this thing from the Jinmen craftsmen who participated in the lantern festival last year.

Moreover, when he learned in Japan that Ning Weimin was coming back to hold a wedding, the old director of Tiantan was thinking about sending such a special gift to add splendor to Ning Weimin's wedding.

As a result, he started planning the matter as soon as he came back. I heard that he spent a lot of money to have a set of "The Legend of White Snake" produced, which gave Ning Weimin a huge surprise.

According to the old director, when this set of box flowers is set off, six programs should be visible from beginning to end.

They are "Xu Xian Visits the Lake", "Broken Bridge", "Worship at the Hall", "Xu Xian Opens a Medicine Shop", "Stealing the Immortal Grass" and "Water Floods the Golden Mountain", which is almost the entire story of "The Legend of White Snake".

Therefore, this is the highlight of the evening. Not to mention the ordinary guests, even Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko are eagerly waiting for it. They are looking forward to it and are eager to feast their eyes on it.

Moreover, they had already told director Yutaka Osawa that they would film the process of setting off the box flowers at night.

As for cultural export, if you photograph it for people to see, of course it has to be this kind of unique skill that is only available in China.

Of course, the higher the expectations, the higher the disappointment. It may be a little early to make such big talk at this time.

But then again, even if we focus on the banquet in front of us, it can't be said to be the end of it.

Because don’t forget that in the past, these previous shows could only be regarded as sideshows and were not up to par at all.

For serious dramas, you have to watch Peking Opera.

Today, the actors from the Fenglei Peking Opera Troupe that Jiang Nianyun paid to invite have not yet come on stage.

There was even a scene involving a dragon, but it had to wait until the Peking Opera started to film.

Speaking of which, this international superstar made a lot of sacrifices for filming. He obviously played the role of a rich man, but his actual treatment today was far worse than Teresa Teng's role as a poor girl.

As soon as Teresa Teng stepped off the stage, she could have dinner on the table. Now the rice has been eaten in two big bowls.

And when he put on makeup, he could only drink some drinks through a straw, and just waited backstage, suffering until now.

Let’s just say how dedicated they are.

So even though the banquet has already reached this point, the dishes are almost served, but there will be a program to surprise the guests soon.

In fact, just after the last dish was served, I saw that the guests at several tables had almost stopped using their chopsticks, and some even spoke and wanted to say goodbye.

Jiang Nianyun quickly signaled Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko to stay as guests. She hoped that these important guests, whose time was precious, would stay a little longer and at least listen to the opening scene of the first play.

Following her instructions, the stage change started from the guest of honor seat at the front.

There are four people per table, two people are responsible for removing the table, and two people are responsible for rearranging the table.

In a short while, the ten tables at the front where guests were seated, the leftovers, cups, plates, bowls and chopsticks were all removed one by one.

Instead, each person received a cup of hot tea and a warm wet hand towel.

After waiting for these guests, they all cleaned their faces and hands one by one, wiped off the oil and sweat from their foreheads and fingers, and drank fragrant tea to clear their mouths.

Soon, in front of each seat, wedding candies, a four-inch cloth plate of wedding cigarettes, four dried fruits, four fresh fruits, four pastries, and four teas were placed for the guests.

In this way, the official seat that was used for eating just now can be converted into a tea seat again.

Not only that, each table has been neatly tidied up, and a red playbill is attached for guests to pass around and read.

In this way, today's real church meeting officially started with the beating of gongs and drums.

Good guy, just this splendid scene was another "shock" for most of the guests at the scene.

But to be honest, this is all I need to do to keep everything simple.

Because anyone who was born into a wealthy family in the past knows that in the capital, there is a so-called "three offerings of tea" to the guests during performances.

To put it bluntly, every time a play reaches a stage, similar to the intermission in theaters and cinemas, service staff will offer porridge and tea in turn, and replace them with fresh and dried fruits.

One presents jujube tea, the second presents chrysanthemum tea, and the third presents lotus seed tea. This is a fixed order, and it is also a common pomp at the gates of the capital or residences.

Today, Jiang Nianyun didn't put much effort into this aspect. She thought that it wouldn't be obvious in the movie anyway, and what kind of tea to drink was completely trivial.

As long as the performance is good, it is better than anything else.

To save trouble, it would be a good idea to just serve jasmine tea, green tea, or black tea to the guests.

If you are someone who has experienced it like Fu Jie and Sagahao, you will naturally know how different it is between now and the past.

But if it were other people, how could they know?

In fact, as Jiang Nianyun expected, almost all the guests focused on the show.

As usual, in the old days when there were Tang Hui troupes, the Kun Opera Troupe, the Peking Opera Troupe, and the Bangzi Opera Troupe would all sing a few auspicious plays that fit the occasion after the opening ceremony. These plays were all Kun Opera repertoires, and even the Peking Opera Troupe and the Bangzi Opera Troupe would also sing authentic Kunqu operas.

.

The same goes for today, because it is a wedding ceremony to congratulate the newlyweds.

Moreover, there were other performances arranged ahead of time, and there was no need to dance to the God of Wealth. Jiang Nianyun and Feng Lei Peking Opera Troupe decided to perform "The Blessing of the Heavenly Official".

This is a Kunqu and Northern Opera opera, with old students dressing up as heavenly officials.

Foreigners, young students, Tie Dan, Zuo Dan, Jing, Za, etc. were respectively made into characters such as longevity star, Cowherd, Weaver Girl, Zhang Xian who gave birth to children, the God of Fortune and Wealth, eight fairies, and eight red dragons holding cloud pieces.

To put it bluntly, all the blessings we hope for in life are all present in this play.

After this, according to the rules, there will be a few more auspicious excerpts, called "back-up plays", the next play is called "central play", and the last play is called "big play". This is considered a whole hall.

meeting.

These dramas are also determined based on the different natures of the hall, so today's excerpts are "The Phoenix Returns to the Nest" and "Little Cowherd".

The plot of "The Phoenix Returns to the Nest" is a good one, while "Little Cowherd" is a joke show with clowns in the show. The plot is to use gags to make everyone laugh and create a happy and festive atmosphere.

The artistic ones that are truly worth appreciating are the main plays. For example, there is Wudan's "small-scale children's play" "Hongqiao Presents Pearls", the "central children's play" of literary operas is "The Number One Scholar", and finally there is the "big play" with both civil and martial arts.

"The most interesting play" is "Lotus Lantern".

With this set of rules, everything from birth to purity to ugliness is included, whether you want gods or gods, you want mandarin ducks or mandarin ducks, you want entertainment or entertainment, you want elegance or elegance.

It can be said to be all-encompassing and suitable for both refined and popular tastes. How appropriate is this.

Everyone has to nod, today's drama is really good.

What is particularly worth mentioning is that Zunlong is not just a mere decoration in today's Peking Opera performances.

He first played the role of the Weaver Girl in the opening film "The Blessing of Heavenly Official", and then played the role of Fairy Lingbo in "The Gift of Pearls from Hongqiao".

When he was young, he studied Peking Opera with Fen Juhua in Hong Kong City for eight years without fail, and today he put all his skills to use here.
