In a sense, the “排” serves both as a measure word and as a noun.

“好戏” is often used sarcastically, and this is the reason “好戏还在后头呢” is translated as "the worst is yet to come" in your dictionary. In short, 好戏 is something like "others' misery".

March 9, 2010 at 5:26 AM《现代汉语词典》 says it's "feng1zheng" (first + nuetral tone), and as far as I know, people in 东北 (northeast China) says "feng1zheng". As you say, it seems to have two different pronunciations in Shanghai and north China. I hear that 轻声 (neutral tone) and 儿化 are mainly heard in northern dialects, putonghua (普通话) included.

That's right. For example, the Japanese transliterations of English words are just awful for native English speakers, but we Japanese are very happy with them, hehe. They are very easy for us to pronounce.
