[Double monthly pass period, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass, please thank you and kneel down]

Lu Yiming spent money to build a stage play brand, and even set up a company to engage in traditional culture, which soon appeared in the newspapers.

Lu Yiming just hit the headlines of the newspaper as a business tycoon a few days ago, and even used eBay and Meg Whitman as background boards, and in a blink of an eye he went to care about culture again. Hurry up, it's so powerful that it makes people feel like it's bullshit.

This afternoon, Zheng Youyuan and Lin Yuantao were drinking tea in the teahouse, chatting and talking about Lu Yiming's "Civilization" stage play.

Lin Yuantao complained: "Hasn't Mr. Lu always invested only in technology? It's unbelievable that he actually used [-] million yuan to do a stage play with Zhongchuan this time. Could it be that he fell in love with a beautiful woman from Zhongchuan?" Is it? It must be to make a smile for Bo's beauty by throwing a lot of money. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense."

Zheng Youyuan smiled and said: "This is actually quite normal. After all, you are young and frivolous, and it's hard to be a beauty. There are so many beautiful women in the story. If I were a few decades younger, I might have fallen too."

"Too."

On the other side, Li Yiwen, who was reporting to Lu Yiming, also chatted about this matter with Lu Yiming.

"Why do you want to set up a creative incubation base for the cultural industry all of a sudden? Some people say that you use this company as a cover to set up a golden house."

Lu Yiming suddenly complained: "What kind of golden house hides the beauty? I am not afraid of the shadow, okay? As for spending money on culture, isn't this a basic operation? I have money, and I am happy."

"Nowadays there is a very dangerous trend of thought. It always feels that things made by foreigners are superior. Drinking coffee is more high-end than drinking tea. The piano and violin are more elegant than the zither flute. Isn't this crazy? Don't say anything else, just say it Eat, eight major cuisines, fried, fried, fried, stewed, thousands of years of food culture, can't compare with a piece of bread? Is Dong'an chicken better than KFC? Yangzhou fried rice and claypot rice, is it better than a baguette with no taste? It’s civilized to share meals with knives and forks. The Xia Kingdom eliminated knives and forks 7000 years ago. It’s unsafe and impersonal. Now the dogs say it’s elegant? I’m elegant.”

"All cultures need time to settle, but now there are some people who don't eat delicious food at home, but eat foreign dog food with gusto. Wearing summer clothes is said to be a feudal superstition, and wearing H clothes Just in line with international standards, what the fuck is that?"

"I still say the same thing. If our culture is not protected, someone will covet it. If a country or a nation loses its own culture, it will be completely destroyed, and it will never be possible to stand up again. This is what foreign countries are doing to us now. Things to do. A lot of us have been blinded by performance. I had to step up and reverse that trend."

Beijing.

In [-], the tenth day of August, five days before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

At the entrance of the Capital Workers' Stadium, countless people bought tickets and waited to enter the stadium to watch the world's first performance of the large-scale traditional epic song and dance drama "Civilization".

Most of these people did not buy tickets because of slogans such as "an artistic review of the glorious history of Xia Kingdom" and "reproduce the magnificent epic of 5000 years", but with "this is what Lu Yiming spent [-] million yuan on, I want to see what kind of thing I smashed out" mentality.

If you want to talk about cultural confidence and historical confidence, the post-[-]s and [-]s don't care about it.

In the backstage make-up area of ​​the gymnasium, Lin Yuzhen sat in front of the mirror and was being put on by a professional make-up teacher.Ever since she learned about the relationship between Lu Yiming and Lin Yuzhen, Song Meiyun had drawn her into the team. After intensive training, she had successfully qualified for the job.

Lu Yiming sat on the sofa behind her, reading the script.

"Hello, Lu Yiming."

Lin Yuzhen spoke suddenly.

Lu Yiming raised his head and asked, "Ah? What?"

Lin Yuzhen said, "I'm a little nervous."

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Why are you so worried? You have been debuting for so long, what big scenes haven't you seen?"

Lin Yuzhen retorted: "Can it be the same? I used to record and edit before, and there was no live audience, so I can shout Ka at any time. This one has a live audience, so I can't make mistakes. And I'm not a dancer..."

Lu Yiming cheered her up and said, "No problem. You performed well in the previous rehearsals. Come on, I'm very optimistic about you."

With Lu Yiming's encouragement, Lin Yuzhen felt much at ease.

At 07:30, the audience finished entering the venue, and the warm-up music sounded, quietly waiting for the official start of the eight o'clock show.

Although there is Lu Yiming's richest man BUFF bonus, the attendance rate of this performance is only about 50.00%.

It can be seen from this that if there is no such topical character as Lu Yiming, and there is no gimmick of throwing [-] million yuan to support traditional culture, how miserable the attendance rate will be.

Look next door, what European classical music concert, the ticket price is extremely high, and it is still full.

It is an indisputable fact that those who engage in traditional culture are now inferior to those who engage in Western literature and art.

But Lu Yiming didn't care about these.

How much is the ticket?Every day the stock market goes up or down by a point, it's more than that.

The entire two-hour stage play of "Civilization" covers almost 7000 years of history from the primitive era, to Xia, Shang and Zhou, to Tang Zong and Song Zu, and to Meishan's suicide, showing the birth and development of the ancestors of the Han nationality. A mighty and magnificent history.Coupled with the gorgeous stage and bright lights, the whole performance can be said to be extremely shocking.

At the end of the performance, there was thunderous applause.

"Damn, it's so beautiful, I've never seen this kind of performance before."

"My DNA moved, and I felt the knowledge in the textbooks appearing vividly in front of my eyes."

"It was a worthwhile trip. I originally came here for the richest man in Lu, but now I want to call for the whole stage play!"

"This is my nation, this is my culture, and I am proud of it!"

"Can you do it again?"

The thing about aesthetics is probably engraved in DNA. When those things in history are presented in front of your eyes, you can't help but burst into tears, and you can't help but applaud and applaud the wisdom of your ancestors.

On the contrary, when those things imposed by outsiders, such as squinting, such as mending clothes, appear in front of your eyes, you will instinctively feel disgusted.You can't even explain why, it's just that they are not pleasing to the eye.

All the content of the play "Civilization" comes from historical materials, not only the arrangement is very careful, but later Lu Yiming also hired a domestic historian to conduct a special research, and the content can stand up to scrutiny.

When the cast and crew came out for the curtain call, a bald and fat man from France rushed onto the stage excitedly and said in broken Xia language: "Hi, I'm Andre from France, your performance is really wonderful .I never thought Xia Guo could produce such a powerful stage play."

He said to Song Meiyun and Lin Yuzhen who were standing in front: "I invite you to perform in France. Paris is the capital of art. It would be a great loss if there are no beautiful dances by you beautiful ladies."

Song Meiyun was very surprised, even unbelievable.

Invite the team to perform in France?
Paris!

Art capital!

Artists seem to have a heart yearning for Europa, and Song Meiyun is no exception.

And if a repertoire that presents the history of the Xia Kingdom can be performed in Paris, the capital of art, it will give people a sense of "counterattack".

You know, in recent decades or even hundreds of years, the Xia Kingdom has only worshiped Europa's "art"!
Zhang Shuting, who was next to him, heard that the gringo was going to invite the "Civilization" team to perform in Paris. He was so happy that he hurriedly said, "Okay, we will definitely be invited to go!"

The speed of agreeing was so fast, as if he was afraid that Andre would suddenly go back on his word.

The main creative team of "Civilization" is Zhongchuan's teacher headed by Song Meiyun, and most of the cast and crew are students and teachers of Zhongchuan. This play is inherently bound to Zhongchuan.The success of this play is the success of Zhongchuan.If this repertoire can enter Europa and stand on the stage in Paris, it will be a great achievement in Zhang Shuting's career!

That's why he agreed so simply.

The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the chaos of the world is for profit. It has always been like this.

After getting off the stage, Lin Yuzhen approached Lu Yiming, who immediately said approvingly, "Congratulations, the performance was a complete success."

Lin Yuzhen was also flushed with excitement, and said happily, "Fortunately, nothing went wrong. I was so nervous."

Then, she said anxiously: "Just now a foreigner said that he wanted us to go to Paris for a performance. Do you think I should go? If I do, then the several announcements in my hand will be rejected. "

"I never thought that I would go abroad to perform as a dancer, obviously I was just on a whim."

It has to be said that some people really have enviable talents in certain fields.

For example, Lin Yuzhen, obviously never learned dance seriously since she was a child, but when she was in college, she signed up for a dance club because of her hobbies, and practiced with a beautiful teacher for a few years, and she danced very well.This time, it was only a period of emergency training before he could perform in the repertoire.

This point, even she did not expect.

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Go, why don't you go? What's the matter? Don't you like dancing?"

Lin Yuzhen muttered, "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I don't know what to do."

Lu Yiming encouraged and said: "Then why don't you have any doubts? Isn't today a good day? Life is short, do what you want to do quickly, go where you want to go quickly, and love who you want to love quickly. There is no such thing as love in this world. So much for the future, don’t leave any regrets for yourself.”

Looking at Lu Yiming's handsome face, Lin Yuzhen couldn't help blushing a little.

Especially when Lu Yiming said "don't leave regrets for yourself", Lin Yuzhen's heart instantly became flustered.

Lu Yiming touched her forehead strangely, and said, "What's wrong with you? You blushed suddenly, are you sick? Hey, it's so hot."

"You're sick. I won't tell you, I'm going to remove my makeup."

Lu Yiming shook his head slightly, not knowing what happened.

"Okay, then I'll go out first, Wang Zai is still waiting for me outside."

Lu Yiming walked out of the workers' gymnasium and saw Li Quanwang at the door.

"Wang Zai, I'm here."

Li Quanwang glanced this way, then walked over and said, "Da Ming, I just settled a bill."

"Huh? What account?"

Lu Yiming raised his eyebrows, not knowing what Li Quanwang was talking about.

Li Quanwang said: "For a performance like this, the cost is 30 to [-], right?"

Lu Yiming made some calculations in his mind and said, "Almost."

Li Quanwang went on to say: "This is not counting the other daily living costs and the expenses of the cast and crew. If I include it, I estimate that it will cost at least 60 million to pay back."

"Yes."

Li Quanwang pointed his fingers and said, "But I counted it just now, and it seems that more than 2 tickets were sold. There are 20 seats in the Capital Workers' Stadium, and the occupancy rate is only one-third. Tickets The price is 50 yuan, and the ticket revenue is only more than [-] yuan, which is a loss-making business."

Lu Yiming retorted: "How can you say that you are losing money when you are a cultural person? Besides, I have money, so it is reasonable to pursue a little bit of artistic taste, right?"

Li Quanwang's eyes showed deep doubts: "By the way, I seem to have seen Lin Yuzhen on stage just now."

Lu Yiming asked: "Is there? Why didn't I see it? Am I nearsighted?"

Li Quanwang immediately spat on his face: "Damn, I'll give you some rainbow and you're still shining. You're an investor and you don't know that Lin Yuzhen is here? I don't think you have any good intentions. She's graduated, and You haven't learned dance yet, so how could you appear in this crew under normal circumstances?"

Lu Yiming thought to himself, the truth is indeed so, but the team reciprocates and insists on pulling people in, what can I do?
"What's wrong with you, don't talk nonsense, Lin Yuzhen and I are innocent, okay?"

"Tch, you're not really brave now, but you won't be able to tell in the future."

"..."

Lu Yiming waved his hand and said, "Stop beeping, let's go back to the hotel for supper. Call the chef and ask the chef to prepare something like Oron Wagyu."

Li Quanwang licked his lips and said with a smile, "I just happened to be hungry too. Let's go, eat all the wagyu you picked up by the roadside last time."

Half an hour later, Lu Yiming and Li Quanwang were already sitting on the observation deck of the presidential suite of the five-star hotel where Lu Yiming stayed, looking at the lights of Wanjia in front of them, opened the top-quality champagne, and listened to the sound of wagyu beef roasting on the iron plate. "Squeak" sound.

At this moment, Zhao Tiezhu came in and said, "Mr. Lu, I have a guest asking to see you."

Lu Yiming asked, "Who?"

Zhao Tiezhu said: "I don't know him, he is a strange European face."

Lu Yiming said, "Forget it, I'm on vacation today, so I don't see any guests."

"Ok."

Lu Yiming sent Zhao Tiezhu away, and chatted with Li Quanwang while eating Wagyu and drinking champagne.

A few minutes later, Lu Yiming's phone rang, and to his surprise, the call was actually from Shi Jinhua.

"Director Shi, you still called at such a late hour, what advice do you have?"

Shi Jinhua said: "Is there a foreigner looking for you just now?"

Lu Yiming thought for a while, and said: "It seems that there is such a person. I didn't see him. It affected my supper, so he sent him away. What's the matter?"

When Shi Jinhua heard this, he felt a little ashamed, and said: "He is Andre, a French jeweler. He is a European who deals in luxury goods. He thinks that Xia Country's economy is growing rapidly, so he wants to invest in it. He said he likes it very much. The classical culture and art of our country, after learning that the stage play "Civilization" was supported by you, I want to have some in-depth exchanges with you. I heard that he also plans to ask the stage play "Civilization" to perform in Paris Woolen cloth."

Hearing what Shi Jinhua said, Lu Yiming immediately remembered what Lin Yuzhen said just now that a foreigner was invited to perform in Paris, so he said helplessly: "Okay, I'll let the butler bring him up. Hey, I'll waste a few more wagyu dollars. "

Shi Jinhua: "..."

After a while, Andre walked in accompanied by Zhao Tiezhu.

Andre was very enthusiastic. Although his tone was a bit lame, he insisted on talking to Lu Yiming in Mandarin: "Mr. Lu, I have heard your name many times. The stage play you invested in is really great, I think Parisians should also have the right to enjoy such a wonderful show."

Lu Yiming frowned slightly, always feeling that these words seemed strange.

However, he didn't delve into it, and just said lightly: "It would be great if we could perform in Paris."

"Civilization" tells the story of China. If it can enter the European art market, it will be an act of cultural propaganda and a big counterattack. Of course, Lu Yiming will not object.

Andre immediately said in a big way: "I can help with this matter!"

Lu Yiming said casually, "Will it be too much trouble for you?"

Andre quickly said: "No trouble! For me, art should have no borders. Xia Guo has a splendid culture, and it should shine on the world stage!"

Later, around the topic of art, the two chatted and laughed, which can be regarded as a happy conversation.

When leaving, Lu Yiming even got up and sent Andre to the door, and the two sides also left each other's contact information.

When Lu Yiming returned to his seat, Li Quanwang said with emotion: "I didn't expect that there are good people in the capitalists in Europe and the United States."

Lu Yiming asked with a half-smile, "Why do you think Andre is a good person?"

Hearing Lu Yiming's rhetorical question, Li Quanwang was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "He likes our Xia country's traditional culture very much, and he is also warm-hearted and willing to provide selfless help. Isn't that a good person?"

Lu Yiming said disdainfully: "He is just a seller of luxury goods, and he relies on the vanity of leeks to make money. How could he be a good person? As for artists or fanatical art lovers, these are just labels deliberately shown to outsiders. Forget it, in fact, he doesn't understand the culture of Xia Kingdom at all, and even the basic understanding is wrong, just pretending. As for helping, it's just a performance, and it's not him who pays for it, how much can it cost? On the contrary, through this After this incident, he directly became an international friend, and the advertising expenses can save a lot of money."
