“花五角钱登台表演”——“大家乐”舞台

‘Fun for All’ stage enriched people’s cultural life

特区创建之初，深圳经济迅速发展，百万青工大量涌入，如何解决广大干部职工在工作“八小时”外的文化活动，成为了当时的一个难题。

At the beginning of the establishment of the special economic zone, Shenzhen’s economy developed rapidly and millions of young workers flooded into the city. How to enrich the cultural life of the workers outside their eight-hour work became a problem at the time.

1986年，深圳市政府从极其紧张的财政经费中抽拨出1万元，在“中心”广场的一片桉树林前，用砖头、水泥砌筑了一个简陋的露天舞台，购置了一架电子琴和一台普通音响，每周举办两次“大家乐”活动。活动采取“自荐、自演、自娱、同乐”的形式，每位登台表演者只需交5角钱的报名费，观众则可以免费欣赏表演。

In 1986, the Shenzhen government allocated 10,000 yuan from its tight financial fund to build a simple open-air stage with bricks and cement in front of a eucalyptus grove in a central square in Futian District, and purchased an electronic piano and an ordinary stereo to hold the “Fun for All” event twice a week. The event adopted the idea of “self-recommendation, self-performance, self-entertainment and fun for all.” Each performer only needed to pay a 0.5-yuan registration fee, while the audience could enjoy the performance for free.

谁也没想到，就是这样一个简易的露天小舞台，竟然把深圳百万青工的业余文化生活搞得红红火火，成为当时深圳人创造的一大人文景观。每逢周三、五晚上，“大家乐”舞台前总是人潮涌动。报名表演者排成长龙，跃跃欲试等待登台，前来观看的人席地坐在舞台前，来晚的人则井然有序地站在后面，里三层外三层好不热闹。

No one would have thought that such a simple open-air stage would greatly enrich the cultural life of millions of young workers in Shenzhen, yet it became a unique city phenomenon at that time. Every Wednesday and Friday, many people gathered in front of the stage. Performers queued up in a long line, waiting for their turn to present, while the audience sat on the floor in front of the stage.

此后，“大家乐”舞台不断升级改造，简陋舞台变为配备钢网结构及灯光音响设备的大舞台。1987年，“大家乐”舞台开始举办“荔枝杯青年歌手大奖赛”，直到2012年共举办了二十一届，当时风靡全国的超女、快男的海选方式,最早就是在这里实践的。26年间，“大家乐”舞台共举办9000多场活动，38万人次登台表演，近1000万市民参与其中。

Later, the stage was upgraded and transformed from a simple stage to a large stage equipped with a steel mesh structure, and lighting and sound equipment. Starting in 1987, the “Fun for All” stage began to hold the Litchi Cup Youth Singer Grand Prix, which had been held for 21 years until 2012. During those 26 years, the stage had held more than 9,000 events, with 380,000 people performing on the stage and nearly 10 million citizens enjoying the performances.

随着电视、网络和手机的普及，2012年1月，“大家乐”最终退出了深圳的主流文化市场，承载着一代深圳人特殊记忆的“大家乐”舞台至此成为了历史。在“大家乐”舞台旧址建起的深圳青年宫，成为集深港国际青年交流中心、青年教育馆、大家乐文化中心、义工博物馆、青年社团总部等多功能于一体的深圳青年活动基地。

As a consequence of the growing popularity of television, Internet and cell phones , in January 2012, the grassroots form of entertainment “Fun for All” finally withdrew from the mainstream of the cultural market in Shenzhen. The Shenzhen Youth Palace, built on the former site of the “Fun for All” stage, has become a multifunctional base for youth activities in Shenzhen, integrating the Shenzhen-Hong Kong International Youth Exchange Center, the Youth Education Museum, the “Fun for All” Cultural Center, the Volunteer Museum, and the headquarters of youth associations.
