115 The Art Show Above the Clouds(1/2)
After all the snacks and gifts were distributed, after waiting for a while, the plane finally started to move.
The speed was a bit slow at first, but became faster and faster, and it was obviously accelerating.
After a while, the plane began to climb, and I could clearly feel a pushing sensation on my back, and my ears began to feel pressure.
Fortunately, there is chewing gum. When chewing gum, the pressure in the ears is much better.
After a while, the strong pushing sensation on the back began to disappear, and the tinnitus also disappeared. It must have passed the take-off stage.
Normally, the aircraft at this time will enter a slow climbing stage, slowly fly to high altitude, and then fly into the stratosphere at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
By that time, the plane will be completely smooth and quiet.
Sure enough, after a while, the plane began to fly levelly, the environment was much better, and it felt quite stable.
However, just when Cao Zhiqiang opened his seat belt, crossed his legs again, and planned to read the newspaper, he found that the flight attendant next to him suddenly stood up.
After the stewardess stood up, she first smiled at Cao Zhiqiang, and then stood in the middle of the corridor.
Immediately afterwards, she walked aside, picked up a wireless microphone, and began to say to everyone: "Dear passengers, our plane has now officially arrived in the stratosphere and is flying above the clouds.
This altitude is already higher than the world's highest peak, Mount Everest. It is difficult for real birds to cross, and only large jets like the one we are flying can cruise at this altitude for a long time.
Next, in order to relieve everyone’s tension, please allow us to perform a few shows for you here, do you think it’s okay?”
As soon as the stewardess finished saying this, the passengers behind her immediately burst into cheers and applause.
On the other hand, Cao Zhiqiang, who was in first class, was a little confused when he saw this.
Damn it, are you taking a plane? Are you taking a tour bus?
After receiving everyone's enthusiastic feedback, the older flight attendant smiled and said: "Hello everyone, my name is Zhao Xin, Zou Dao Zhao, Xin Xianrong Xin.
I am the flight attendant on this flight, and I am very happy to spend this interesting and long journey with you.
Next, please enjoy our first program, poetry recitation - "The Farthest Distance in the World", recited by Zhao Xin!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang opened his mouth wide.
Good guy, this is where you want to recite your own poem.
Sure enough, the next stewardess named Zhao Xin recited the poem that he had plagiarized before, no, it was his original poem.
The poem is a good one, the person is beautiful, the voice is pretty good, the attitude is gentle and kind, and apart from being a little older, there is basically nothing to fault.
It's just that, sitting in first class and there is a beautiful stewardess standing within three steps in front of you, smiling and reciting a poem you once wrote, it feels very awkward.
That's right, it's just awkward. Anyway, Cao Zhiqiang doesn't feel proud at all now.
Maybe it's because Cao Zhiqiang's three views are different from those of people of this era. Maybe it's because this poem is not his original creation but plagiarized, so it's a bit awkward.
After finally reciting the poem, I thought it was over, but as it turned out, there was a singing session next.
What songs were sung? Of course they were red songs and pop songs.
The flight attendant Zhao Xin first sang "Singing the Motherland", and then a younger flight attendant came and sang "Sweet Honey". Then they continued to change people and continued to sing. The songs they sang were basically popular songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
After the song was finished, two more stewardesses came over, and they talked about cross talk together.
This makes Cao Zhiqiang confused. Is this a flight or a cultural performance?
But don't mention it, these flight attendants are really versatile. Whether they are singing, reciting poetry, or doing cross talk, they are all very interesting.
In addition to these, they also have some interactive programs, such as riddle guessing and encyclopedia quizzes.
Riddles are easy to say. The so-called encyclopedia questions and answers are a bit like popular science questions. The stewardess asks some small questions and phenomena in life and then asks everyone to answer them. It is a bit like a hundred thousand whys.
For example, why there is thunder in the sky, why lightning rods can protect against lightning, why there is ear pressure when an airplane takes off, etc.
Basically, the flight attendant asks the questions, and then asks the passengers to raise their hands. After being called by the flight attendant, they stand up and answer.
If the stewardess asks a question and no one raises their hand, and the stewardess asks it three times in a row but no one answers, the stewardess will announce the answer herself.
This kind of popular science Q&A is quite interesting, especially Cao Zhiqiang, who answered three questions in a row, all of them correct.
Of course, since this is not a class after all, it is impossible to catch everyone and ask questions. That would not only be impolite, but also a bit too conspicuous.
So even though Cao Zhiqiang understood the following questions and could answer them, he was very wise not to raise his hand to answer them and left the opportunity to others.
After the popular science Q&A, the passengers will be invited to stand up and perform a personal performance, usually singing, poetry recitation, or even Peking Opera singers. The singing is also very stylish and interesting.
However, Cao Zhiqiang discovered that during this period, the most popular performances were poetry recitations, and most of the poems recited were poems written by Cao Zhiqiang.
It can be seen that poetry in this era does still have its charm, at least it is very popular among the upper class, and the influence of Cao Zhiqiang's poetry is indeed greater, at least it is popular.
However, Cao Zhiqiang did not participate in these activities, mainly because he did not want to be too conspicuous.
He was the only passenger in the first class cabin, and he was so young that he already stood out.
It's better to keep a low profile and be a handsome man. It's not good to stand out too much.
However, after another passenger finished singing "My Motherland", the conductor named Zhao Xin seemed to have spotted Cao Zhiqiang and insisted on him performing a show for everyone.
At this time, the atmosphere was already heated due to everyone's previous performance, so after seeing that Cao Zhiqiang was still unhappy, everyone started to boo.
Encouraging voices such as "come here" and "don't be afraid" were heard endlessly, and some were even irritating, saying, "You won't be afraid anymore. If you are, just change your seat with me."
Since everyone was so enthusiastic and well-intentioned, Cao Zhiqiang had no choice but to be respectful rather than obey orders.
After standing up, Cao Zhiqiang said: "Well, I'm glad to be on the same plane with you all. Let me sing a song for you."
"What song are you going to sing?" Zhao Xin, the female flight attendant holding an accordion, said with a smile, "If it's not particularly popular, I'll accompany you."
Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "No, give me the accordion and I will play and sing by myself."
"Ouch." said the female steward holding the accordion, "really, you can also play the accordion?"
"I understand a little bit." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.
"Okay." Zhao Xin, the female steward, immediately took down the accordion generously, "Here you go."
Cao Zhiqiang nodded, said no more, picked up the accordion, stood in the middle of the corridor where the stewardess had stepped aside, and said to the microphone held by the female flight attendant: "The so-called meeting is fate, I am very happy to share the same flight with you.
plane.
Next, I will sing a song for you, the song is called "So Many People in the World", I hope you will like it."
Just after saying this, the female flight attendant Zhao Xin suddenly put the microphone to her mouth and said: "I have never heard the name of this song. Who is the original singer?"
After saying this, she put the microphone in front of Cao Zhiqiang again.
Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "No, in this world, I am the original singer, because this is a song I wrote myself, and now I play and sing it. Everyone, you should be the first to listen to this song.
Let’s be an outsider in singing.”
"Wow, is it true?" the female flight attendant deliberately exaggerated.
Cao Zhiqiang shrugged: "You'll know after you hear it."
"Okay!" the female steward immediately said loudly, "You all heard it, we have a musical talent here who can write and sing his own songs. No matter what, everyone applauds first!"
As soon as he said this, everyone applauded.
After everyone finished applauding, the female flight attendant smiled and said to Cao Zhiqiang: "Okay, comrade, please start your performance."
Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly and nodded.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang played the accordion first and played the prelude to "So Many People in the World" using his new top-level accordion playing skills.
As soon as the prelude sounded, everyone immediately became quiet.
This is not only because the passengers at this time are of higher quality and more polite, but the most important thing is that the prelude of Cao Zhiqiang's song is so touching.
Although this song, if it is a solo, it would be better performed on piano or guitar.
But as for the accordion, it's actually pretty good, and it doesn't have a nostalgic feel to it.
As the prelude sounded, Cao Zhiqiang’s singing began to float in the cabin:
There are so many people in this world
There is an open door in the crowd
In my hazy eyes forever
The first time I saw you was in the blue morning
There are so many people in this world
How lucky I have us
The morning and evening in this long destiny
It often makes me look into the distance and be fascinated
Gray leaves are floating in the pond
Watch the plane roar to a distant land
The sound of footsteps shouting in the long corridor of time
When the lights come on, it’s deserted
…
