Literary Master 1978.

Chapter 115 As long as you are happy

The commotion at the school gate was nothing compared to the scene in front of the auditorium. Just after six o'clock, thousands of college students from inside and outside the school had gathered outside the auditorium. If not handled properly, it would become a serious group rape incident.

Upon receiving the news, Jia Zhen did not dare to be careless and rushed here as soon as possible.

"…Thanks to all the students for their love for Yanshi University and the play "The World's No. 1 Restaurant". They braved the cold weather to come and watch the play. On behalf of Yanshi University, I, Lao Jia, would like to thank you all.

We also ask our classmates to understand us. The popularity of "The World's No. 1 Restaurant" has indeed exceeded our expectations at Yanshi University.

Our auditorium has only 1,500 seats, and including the aisles, it can only accommodate 2,000 people at most.

Right now, there are already more than 2,200 students in the auditorium, so there is no way to put more people in..."

Jia Zhen's arrival quieted the noisy students for a while. The students had hoped that Jia Zhen's arrival would help them coordinate entering the auditorium, but he said that no more people could enter the auditorium. The students, who had just been quiet for a while, became excited again.

Seeing that something was wrong, Jia Zhen raised his voice and pressed his hands down, "Everyone listen to me, listen to me!"

“‘The World’s Number One Restaurant’ is a drama that our school fully supports. If everyone wants to watch it, we will definitely perform it as long as conditions permit, and let more students see this drama.

Not only the teachers and students of our Yenching Normal University, but also the students from major universities in Yenching, I, Jia Zhen, promise everyone here that you will definitely see this drama.

Today is December 12th, and there are three days until the December 6th Capital Universities Art Festival, when this drama will meet students from major universities in Yenching.

Of course, I know that the performance can only allow a small number of students to see this play.

After December 12, our Yanjing Normal University's "The World's No. 9 Restaurant" will hold a tour in major universities in Yanjing. At that time, students from every university, including you, will be able to see the charm of this drama! "

Jia Zhen's voice was sonorous and powerful. Although the plan he proposed was not perfect, it was indeed feasible. After he finished speaking, the students in the audience really quieted down.

Seeing this, Jia Zhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, he had experienced war and turmoil, but facing such a group of college students, he dared not be careless at all, because they were all treasures of the country.

But at this moment, someone below started shouting.

"Secretary Jia, you only think about other schools. What about our students at Yanshi University? We haven't even seen The World's No. 1 Restaurant yet?"

"Yes, it's a play put on by our own school, and we haven't even seen it yet!"

Among the thousands of students below, there are not only a large number of students from other schools, but also a large number of students from this school. Jia Zhen's proposal only talked about taking care of students from other schools, and some students of Yanshi University felt that they were not taken seriously.

It is always easy to deal with the objections of students from our school. Jia Zhen shouted in a relaxed tone: "There are still several days before the 9th. Isn't there enough time for you to watch? After the students from the brother schools have finished watching, you can watch it however you want, right?"

"Besides, our Yanshi University has produced such a great drama, don't you want to show it off?
"They, Shuimu, Yanda, and Renmin University, have been suppressing us every year. Now you have such a good opportunity to show off? Why don't you seize it?"

His speech was light-hearted and humorous. Many of the students in the audience were from the universities he had just mentioned, and there was a good-natured laugh among the crowd.

With Jia Zhen's promise, the situation at the entrance of the auditorium was finally resolved.

He also took the initiative to offer to escort everyone out of the school. Although it seemed a bit like being escorted, it was still a different kind of attention.

The crowd finally began to disperse and walked towards the entrance of the Normal University in an orderly manner.

Li Tong and the others looked at each other, and Wang Xiaoping asked, "What about us?"

Chen Jiangong sighed, "Let's go. Don't expect to see a good result given the situation today."

Everyone thought so and followed the crowd.

Less than ten minutes later, a team of thousands of people approached the school gate in a mighty procession, causing the crowd, which had originally calmed down, to become agitated again.

The security guard at the gate was already terrified. He hadn't finished dealing with the one outside yet, when another one from inside the school popped up again.

Fortunately, Secretary Jia Zhen was walking in front of the crowd, and when everyone saw his face, they breathed a sigh of relief.

At the school gate, Jia Zhen repeated the promise he had made in the auditorium. The students at the gate also accepted the plan and gradually dispersed.

Watching the students gradually disappear into the night, Jia Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Secretary, today it is really thanks to you that we were able to turn the tide."

As soon as the security director started to flatter, he was met with a vicious look from Jia Zhen.

"You failed to control the situation during yesterday's performance, and you dared to let so many students into the school today. Can you still do your job as the security department? What do you do as the director?"

Jia Zhen’s angry voice echoed at the gate of Yanshi University.

Chen Jiangong's eyes swept around under the light, and finally he passed through the crowd and met a familiar gaze.

"Old Blue!"

"Jiangong!"

The two men brushed past the crowd and shook hands as if they had met victoriously at Jinggangshan.

Then Lan Tianye started to complain, "Why didn't you come earlier? I've been waiting for a long time and I haven't even entered the school gate."

"We didn't go in either, did we? Why did I go to see you so late last night? It was because I had a feeling that The World's No. 1 Restaurant was going to be a hit. In the morning you insisted that you had to rehearse during the day, and you dragged your feet until the evening, and you still blame me?"

The two hindsighters complained to each other, but they couldn't change the outcome.

"I heard from the secretary just now that the performance will continue tomorrow. I will come again tomorrow." Lan Tianye said.

Chen Jiangong glanced at the security guard at the door and said, "Can you come in by yourself? Go to the People's Art Theater tomorrow morning to get a letter of introduction. It will be easier to get things done with the name of your People's Art Theater!"

Lan Tianye slapped his forehead and said, "I am confused, confused. This is what we should do today."

Of course, his words cannot be taken seriously. Last night, Chen Jiangong talked a lot. He seemed to take it seriously, but he was still a little contemptuous in his heart. After all, it was just a student play.

Today, seeing how crazy the college students were about "The World's Number One Restaurant", he finally began to take the drama seriously.

After parting with Lan Tianye, Chen Jiangong and others returned to Yanda under the cover of night.

On the way, Wang Xiaoping sighed, "I never thought that The World's No. 1 Restaurant would have such a big impact on students after only one day of performance."

“Our universities are close to each other, and students move around frequently, so news spreads quickly.

When we were performing "Conscience", didn't the students from those schools also flock to our Yanda University? It's just not as exaggerated as "The World's No. 1 Restaurant". "Liu Zhida said.

Everyone nodded sympathetically.

It has created such a sensation after just one day of performance. No one can imagine how much prestige "The World's Number One Restaurant" would bring to Yanjing Normal University if it were performed for half a month, and what a powerful influence it would have on the Yenching university community.

Today is the second day of the performance of "The Best Restaurant in the World" at Yanshi University. The performance and atmosphere in the auditorium are even more lively than yesterday.

Young people always have a kind of naive paranoia. They will praise something they like to the sky, and trample it into the mud for something they hate.

Although the script of "The World's Number One Restaurant" was written by Lin Chaoyang, he is also the husband of Yanshi University alumnus Tao Yushu, and is regarded as one of their own by Yanshi University students.

During the two-day performance, despite the crude stage settings and sound effects and the immature performances of the actors, the brilliance of "The World's Number One Restaurant" was not at all obscured. On the contrary, such a strong contrast further demonstrated the powerful heritage and artistic appeal of the drama.

In the minds of students who have watched this play, it has far surpassed the level of student dramas, and is not inferior to many professional drama troupes. Earlier, when this play was still on paper, many Yanshi University students who had read the script praised it for having "seven points of the charm of Tea House".

"Teahouse" was born more than 20 years ago and has long become one of the insurmountable classics in the Chinese drama world. When several students compared it with "The World's No. 1 Restaurant", many of them sneered.

But now that "The World's Number One Restaurant" has made its debut, it has become a huge success, and all the previous doubts have turned into applause, cheers and praises.

Today's curtain call lasted for more than twenty minutes. Unlike yesterday when everyone left the auditorium in excitement after the performance, today some students spontaneously stopped at the auditorium door after the performance.

The security guards who had been guarding here had just experienced the situation before the performance and were afraid that these students would cause trouble again, so they asked them to leave quickly.

But these students refused to leave and waited at the door of the auditorium until a group of actors who had just removed their makeup and changed their costumes came out of the auditorium, and then they swarmed in.

"Lu Mengshi!"

"Chang Gui!"

"Jade chick!"

……

The actors of "The Best Restaurant in the World" were mainly students from the Class of 1977 of the Chinese Department of Yanshi University. They were talking and laughing on their way out when they were suddenly blocked by a group of people and got startled.

Only after they heard the shouts of their classmates did they realize that everyone was waiting for them.

In fact, these students were waiting here without any intention of doing anything. They had no flowers or gifts prepared. They just wanted to say a few words to these actors and get close to these idols shining on the stage.

Everyone on the stage was an actor and an audience, and everyone off the stage was a classmate. The actors were not arrogant, and after chatting for a while, the security guards came out again to chase everyone away, and the students left reluctantly.

Because of her close relationship with Tao Yushu, Wu Yingfang got the role of Yu Chu'er, who was the lover of the protagonist Lu Mengshi in "The World's Number One Restaurant" and the only female character among the more than 30 actors in the whole play.

A touch of red amidst the green naturally won the love of many audiences.

Enjoying the admiration and worship of her students, she couldn't help but feel elated.

"I heard that the Capital Theatre has a rule. Every day when the show is over, fans who like the show will wait at the theatre gate, waiting for the actors from the People's Art Theatre to ride by on their bicycles and say hello to them," Wu Yingfang said with a sly delight.

Tao Yushu joked: "Yes, you are a big star now!"

"Go away, are you making fun of me?" Wu Yingfang said shyly.

"Well, this is of course a joke." Tao Yushu turned serious and said, "But on our Yanshi University campus, you actors are really big stars now. I guess if you continue to perform for a few more days, someone will block the classroom and confess their love to you."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Wu Yingfang's mind was aroused by Tao Yushu's words and her cheeks flushed.

After a few jokes, everyone separated. Tao Yushu and her classmates returned to Yanda. It was already ten o'clock in the evening when she got home.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw a long-lost face.

"Sister~" Tao Yumo's voice was so sweet that it made people sick.

When you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something.

Whenever her younger sister showed signs of being submissive to her since she was a child, it was basically because she wanted something from her.

Tao Yushu took off his coat and said, "If you have something to say, just talk nicely!"

"Sister, your show 'The World's Number One Restaurant' is really well-arranged!"

"Did you go to see it?" Tao Yushu asked.

Tao Yumo was choked by her words, but she was not discouraged, "No. I haven't had time yet, right? Really, I am your sister, why didn't you tell me about the premiere yesterday? I heard that the people who went to your Yanshi University today almost filled up the school?"

"Who did you listen to?"

"Of course it's the group of people who went to your school. There were hundreds of people from our school, but in the end, they didn't see any of them. They returned to the dormitory at around 7 or 8 o'clock, and the corridor was full of complaints..."

"Let's get down to business." Tao Yushu interrupted her chatter.

Tao Yumo laughed, "Sister, take me to your school tomorrow! They said that Yanshi University doesn't allow people from other schools to enter now."

"Well, okay." Tao Yushu agreed.

"That's great, sister!" Tao Yumo hugged Tao Yushu and said, "I have a few more classmates..."

"Don't push your luck. I'm just helping out on the set. How much authority do you think I have?"

Tao Yumo insisted, "Don't lie to me. The scripts were all written by my brother-in-law."

Her idea was actually correct. As a key figure in the birth of "The World's Number One Restaurant", although Tao Yushu did not play a role in the play and only did some behind-the-scenes work, he still became a great contributor in the eyes of Master Yan in the past two days.

Even if she did not hold any important position in the crew, she was second only to the first person.

Tao Yumo kept pestering her sister, and Tao Yushu had no choice but to agree that she could bring two classmates, but no more.

After returning to the room, Tao Yushu exerted all his strength and threw himself onto the bed.

“Oh, putting on a show is so tiring!”

Lin Chaoyang asked: "The play has already started, and you are not doing any physical work behind the scenes, so why are you so tired?"

"I'm so tired!" Tao Yushu turned to him, "You don't even know, there was almost an accident in the auditorium tonight."

Lin Chaoyang nodded, "I heard from Yumo. These students spread news quickly and their legs are even faster. It's only been a day."

When this topic was mentioned, Tao Yushu's fatigue disappeared. He sat up suddenly with an excited look on his face.

"That's because your script is so good, you don't even know..."

From yesterday to today, Tao Yushu has lost count of how many compliments and compliments she has heard, some about her, but more about Lin Chaoyang and "The World's Number One Restaurant".

These praises and compliments filled Tao Yushu's heart. Lin Chaoyang did not go to Yanshi University today, and as soon as she came back, she couldn't wait to share these honors with her.

Under the light, her skin is as white as cream, bright and attractive, and the way she looks is extraordinary.

Lin Chaoyang just looked at her quietly. After a long time, Tao Yushu finally reacted and asked, "Why don't you speak?"

"I'll just listen to you."

"Are you happy?" Tao Yushu asked again.

"As long as you are happy." Lin Chaoyang's expression was full of doting.

Feeling the love in his words, Tao Yushu's eyes narrowed with a smile and she threw herself into his arms.
