Republic of China: With the support of the veteran actor system, it is invincible

"Junior brother, from now on I will eat with you!"

Lin Mu hurriedly bowed solemnly and said,

"Senior Brother Ye, you are too modest. With your ability, you can choose any troupe in the world. It is my honor to be able to join my Qingyun Troupe. Everyone, come here!"

Lin Mu shouted to the people busy backstage.

Everyone quickly put down their work and gathered around!

Ye Shenglan stood beside Lin Mu, looking at this group of people, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart!

From the actions and expressions of these people, Ye Shenglan could see the cohesion of this troupe.

Even in Ma Lianliang's Fufeng Society, Ma Lianliang did not have such a high prestige.

After all, there are all kinds of people there, and anyone can be the top star in an ordinary opera troupe!

"By the way, starting today, Mr. Ye Shenglan officially joins our Qingyun class and holds the second rank!"

Hearing this, everyone nodded and said nothing!

Now, Lin Mu has the final say in the Qingyun class, and everyone depends on Lin Mu for their livelihood.

Besides, to be a second-rate player, you must have the ability to be a second-rate player. If you don’t have this ability, no one will criticize you, and the fans won’t be happy about it!

Therefore, no one would come out to sing a different tune at this time!

In this way, Ye Shenglan joined the Qingyun class and became Lin Mu's first big-name helper.

The sign outside the door shows the plays being performed today!

"The Great Destruction of the Copper Net Formation"!

The name of the play was not written at the top like in later generations, but at the bottom, in bold font, very obvious!

Above is the list of actors!

The list of actors in those days was very particular, and the actor's status in the troupe could be seen from the way the name was written.

First of all, in the first row, Lin Mu’s name was written horizontally. This was the only name occupying the first row!

This means that in this play, Lin Mu is the protagonist and the top star!

Then the second row, Zhang Quanzhong and Ye Shenglan.

Zhang Quanzhong is the painted-face actor in Lin Mu's opera troupe.

The shapes of these two people's names on the water sign are very strange!

The character "Zhang" is on top, and "Quanzhong" is written horizontally below the character "Zhang". The three characters are arranged in a "品" shape.

The same is true for Ye Shenglan.

In the third row, the actors' names are written in vertical columns from top to bottom.

"Hey, Brother Li, why are the names on this water sign written differently?"

It just so happened that two laborers passed by Hongming Teahouse with today's wages. One of them glanced at the water sign and asked curiously!

Brother Li also likes to listen to operas on weekdays, but he is short of money and can only go to the cheapest open-air opera troupe to satisfy his desire.

When he heard his brother asking him, he immediately became eager to teach others!

"Hey, you don't know this, right? There's a lot of intricacies in these water signs. Look at the third row first. The names are all written vertically. These people are called "Three Cards" in the troupe. The way their names are written means they're standing!"

"Look at the second row. The names are arranged in a triangle shape. These people are called "Er Pai" in the troupe. The way their names are written means they are sitting down and have a higher status!"

"Look at the first row again. Boss Lin's name is a bit of a disadvantage, as it has two characters. If it were Boss Ma Lianliang, all three characters would be written horizontally, indicating that this actor is lying down, meaning he can make money just by lying down. This is the top star!"

"So, the unnamed supporting character wants to stand, the third card wants to sit, and the second card wants to lie down!"

Hearing what Brother Li said, the person next to him subconsciously asked,

"What about the top card?"

Brother Li slapped his head in annoyance and said,

"I'm already the top star, it's the end of the world, what else is there to think about? I can just eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day!"

"Then they still eat crispy duck and drink red wine every day!"

"Hey, you know a lot!"

"Hey, I just heard someone say that when I passed by Jinjiang Sichuan Restaurant one day!"
