new movie called The Stage was shown
in a few cinemas. The preview screenings
(试映) continued until July 20. The movie
was directed by Chen Peisi, a famous comedian who also
starred in the movie. The movie was based (基于) on
Chen's long-running stage play of the same name.
The story takes place

almost a hundred years ago,
when warlords (军阀) often
fought. The story is full
of humor. Chen plays the
leader of a Peking Opera
group. The movie starts as
the group travels to Beijing
to perform for three days. But a warlord mistakes a
restaurant waiter for the group's best star. This causes
many silly things to happen.
The stage play was a big hit. It was shown more than
330 times over 10 years, in 65 cities, including Vancouver
and Toronto in Canada. *The play shows true artists'
strong belief: they will do anything to fight against being
disrespected by powerful people who don't understand
art.
One part of the story is as follows: the warlord takes
out a gun to make the group change a key part of their
show Farewell My Concubine. But everyone in the group
thinks it should not be changed.
The movie already hit cinemas all over the country
on July 25, and it got a lot of good reviews from the
audience (观众).

1. C 细节理解题。由第一段最后一句可知，这部电影改编自其同名舞台剧。
2. D 细节理解题。由第二段最后两句可知，一位军阀误将餐馆服务员当成戏班最好的演员，这引发了许多荒唐事的发生。
