Chapter 18

The day of the premiere of the new play happened to be Jing Zhe, which was not intentional, but the theater had no choice but to arrange it at this stall.Although the news was released late, the tickets sold well.Seeing that it was profitable, the manager of the theater immediately changed his attitude and urged him to add seats and sell tickets in advance.This is a posture of wanting to make a fortune.Qin Meixiang has always been cautious, so she politely refused, saying that she would wait until the performance was over for a few days before watching it.

The new-style theater is larger than the sub-space of the theater, and there are advantages and disadvantages here.The advantage is naturally that there are more seats, more tickets can be sold, and you can't eat, which is more civilized.But the space is big, and the seats in the back are too far away from the stage.In order to allow people to see clearly, new-style lamps are used on the stage, and the light is often too bright.When actors are dazzled by such light, it is inevitable that they will occasionally squint subconsciously, which will affect their eyesight and expression.It's okay to act in plays with beautiful flowers and beautiful flowers, but it's hard to act in plays where you have to work and sing.Singing at the top of your voice may not be able to take care of every corner.

When an actor makes money, he makes money, and one of the first things in the rules of practice is to be right.When people spend money to watch your play, you have to consider every aspect, so that people can enjoy it as much as possible.So because of this, only a small part of Qin Meixiang's plays were performed in Yong'an in the past.And because of the embarrassment, he had some concerns about this place.If it wasn't for the inconvenience of competing with Cao Jiaban, who is resident in Tongle Building, he didn't want to put the new play here.

Finally, everything is ready, everyone is gearing up, ushering in the day when the new play will be staged.Who would have thought that just before the opening, the outside guy suddenly came in and said that many seats were clamoring for refunds.Qin Meixiang was puzzled.Soon someone who inquired about the news came back and said that He Cuixian had brought forward the new play that was supposed to be performed in the next few days to today, and that Ye Xiaodie had drunk the imperial concubine at the bottom of the box today.This is a precious drama that Ye Xiaodie seldom plays, if you miss this one, you will have to wait for the next time.For more than half a year, He Ye's reputation has been flourishing, and many fans who follow suit want to refund their tickets to see their plays.

There is no such thing in the arena.This is to gain fame and start to rush to bully people.

The manager naturally disagrees, how can the money that comes to the mouth be spit out?But there was too much yelling in the audience, it was obvious that someone was here to stir up the situation.Young Master Yu Qi was furious, and waved his hand: "Back! It's all refunded! I'll take care of the money!"

After such a toss, the theater was empty for a little while.It's frustrating that the team has been busy for such a long time, and it's so frustrating before it's on stage.

Yu Dongrong didn't want Qin Meixiang to face such a seat as soon as he came to the stage, so he pondered for a while, and called the secretary: "Go, call all the people from the foreign firm and the store. Let's say that today is Jingzhe, the boss is on a half-day holiday, so invite them to come Watch Boss Qin's new play."

The secretary was overjoyed: "Alright, I'll go there now!"

Qin Meixiang couldn't care about that anymore.He got dressed early in the morning and silently played in the dressing room alone.Can't think about anything, can't think about anything.He is not Qin Meixiang now, he is Luzhu.

At the beginning of the gongs and drums, he flicked his sleeves and floated onto the stage without looking sideways.

The script of this play is very good, and the supporting actors work very hard.It wasn't the first time Hao Jiaotian and Qin Meixiang acted together. They were both famous actors, and they worked together seamlessly on stage.Hao Jiaotian is a man who sings operas to watch people order dishes.The better the actor in the opposite play, the more he will sing into the play.And he has been famous for a long time, and the audience is more popular than Qin Meixiang, so he won a lot of applause at the beginning.As a result, the morale in front of and behind the stage suddenly soared.

The two of them kept going back and forth like this, and the audience below gradually filled up.The applause unknowingly became louder.Because of such encouragement, the actors worked harder.Many supporting actors do not appear on stage for a while, but they still have years of stage experience, and they are fully prepared, so they show their abilities on stage for a while, and it is wonderful again and again.

Qin Meixiang did not suffer from stage fright in such an environment.The more he sang, the more he devoted himself to it. He sang and danced at the same time. The applause received by the Lingzi dance and the water sleeve dance almost lifted the roof.Because Lvzhu is a skilled dancer herself, he decided to add the water sleeves to [-] feet, adding this extremely graceful water sleeve dance to the play.Because of hand disease, he practiced this dance even more strenuously than hanging a hair in the air.And because I want to restore the beauty of ancient dances, I specially entrusted Lin Erye to borrow many albums of ancient dances and myths from book collectors, and even copies of murals in Buddhist caves, and try to figure them out day and night.

Hard work pays off, and the dance is over as soon as it is performed.The audience went crazy.The actors behind did not dare to go on stage and had to wait for the audience to calm down.

It will go smoothly in the future.It wasn't until the last scene of the performance that they fell from the building, and everyone raised their hearts to their throats again.With tears in her eyes, Luzhu sprinted across the field, behind her were wolves, tigers and leopards with ulterior motives.She had no other way to escape to the tall building, and jumped down to protect her dignity, so as to show her ambition with death.

Qin Meixiang sang the last verse with tears in her eyes, and jumped down from the three-story table-high stage set.He used the most difficult volley to lift the hair, and his body was light, like a paper kite with a broken thread.

The play is over.There were cries from the audience.

Yu Dongrong saw that he was about to have a heart attack.No one got up in the flowers scene for a long time, he ran over with weak hands and feet, and said in a trembling voice: "Mei Xiang?"

Qin Meixiang was lying on the soft blanket, her tears were still wet, but there was a smile on her face.He wiped his tears and sat up: "I'm fine. Go down quickly, the curtain call will come later."

Young Master Yu Qi breathed a long sigh of relief, and ran backstage again.

Qin Meixiang got up and adjusted the costumes, and the colleagues who took part in the show came to the stage one after another, and everyone was beaming with joy.The curtain opened again, and they clapped their hands together to thank the audience.

The applause knocked off the roof of the theater.

What is an instant hit, this is it.

After that, the tickets will be sold easily.Not only is it easy to sell, it is simply a steal.The newspapers were full of news about Qin Meixiang's new play.Critics praised him for making great progress in his skills and deepening his skills, and asserted that the water sleeves in the green beads and the hanging hair in the air are about to become his unique skills.Because the three young famous actors were all performing in those few days, it was inevitable that there were some sarcastic remarks.But winner and loser, these words are not directed at Qin Meixiang, but are directed at Ye Xiaodie and He Cuixian.After all, Ye Xiaodie's drunken concubine is a scene of great success. In comparison, it seems that He Cuixian is inferior in the end.

In fact, it is not that Daiyu is not good at burying flowers.It's just that the play followed the route of Nanqu, which was too sunny and unappealing for both refined and popular tastes, so the audience didn't buy it much.Fortunately, the literati are quite knowledgeable, and they have found some scenes for He Cuixian.

The response was so good that it would not be possible without speeches.This new drama dragged on from the first three days to five days, and then to seven days.On the tenth day, everyone discussed that this was the last match.Because many actors are old, it is really difficult for them to sing like this.

For the last scene, the theater was packed with people.Those who didn't know outside thought that there was a war inside.The shouts were almost deafening.Because of the familiarity with the car before, Qin Meixiang felt more secure.Singing, reciting and playing are all perfect.In the end, he fell from the building, and as soon as he fell, there was a shocking cry from the audience.Zuoer also entered the play.

He wiped away his tears and got up to take the curtain call. When he looked at the auditorium, his heart skipped a beat.

On the VIP seat in the front row, facing Xu Pingshan's ashen face.

Everyone in the troupe took a curtain call amidst the applause of the audience, and when they returned to the backstage, they all looked joyful.Qin Meixiang was surrounded and laughed too.I always feel uneasy in my heart.

Because it was the last performance, many sponsors sat in the VIP seats during the performance. After the performance, they came down from the stage to the backstage together with some celebrities who came to watch the performance. Everyone was smiling.The box office income of the ten-day performance was nearly [-] yuan. After deducting the cost, it was still a lot of money.The director of the U.S. Bank, Mr. Xie Wuye, waved his hand: It's still early, everyone go to a celebration banquet!He said so, and everyone naturally responded.

Qin Meixiang saw Xu Pingshan among the group of sponsors, the bandit commander's expression was gloomy, and he was definitely not happy.

He thought about it and couldn't remember what he had done.If there is anything to be said about being with the peers in the play, it is just a play.Before acting, there were many people who went too far than Luzhu, and I haven't seen him like that.

Because of the noise of the crowd, there was a constant stream of people who came to talk. Even though the two were not far apart, they didn't say a word.Before he could wait, he was wrapped up by the crowd and went out to Dingtai Building with a heavy heart.

The shopkeeper of Ding Tai Building heard about the visitors and greeted them personally, giving them the largest private room.The ten tables were full, and many chairs and bowls and chopsticks were added.The dignitaries and famous actors sat at two tables interspersed, and the rest of the people also sat at random.The food and drinks were served quickly, it wasn't because someone was joking and joking, the box was always very lively.

Because Qin Meixiang is the protagonist, she inevitably has to sit at the table to socialize with others.Needless to say, the nobles, he also has to take care of the people in his team with all his heart.Without the help of everyone, there would be no such a good show, and he will remember all these friendships.

Yu Dongrong slipped down from the main table a long time ago, and took Xiao Yulin to eat in the corner.This kid came to help out, and he was afraid that he would not eat well because of his thin skin.Every time a new dish was served, Young Master Yu Qi would tell the people at the table how to eat it, but in fact, it was all for Xiao Yulin.So the biggest sea cucumber and the eight most tender pieces fell into Xiao Yulin's bowl silently.Yu Dongrong was chatting with others on the table, and he was grinding his knees with Xiao Yulin under the table, there was a kind of secret excitement.

When Qin Meixiang looked at Xiao Yulin's ears, she knew that Yu Dongrong was dishonest.He was a little wanting to laugh, and a little embarrassed.But no one on the table noticed it except him.Everyone was busy eating and drinking, and Young Master Yu Qi kept talking non-stop.

He walked over to toast with others, and Yu Dongrong spilled his wine glass calmly and poured him another glass.Qin Meixiang took it and tasted it, it was clear water.So he picked up the flagon with clear water and smiled knowingly.

Because of protecting her throat, Qin Meixiang has always been very restrained in drinking.But in such an occasion, it is inevitable to drink a few more glasses.Only others drank more than him, so by the time he walked around and turned back to the main table, the people there were already six or seven points drunk.

Qin Meixiang sat down, talking and laughing with others.As he was talking, the topic was taken a little crookedly.Several of the nobles at the table were the old and the young, still unable to get rid of the bad habits of the old banquet, taking advantage of their drunkenness, they clamored for someone to accompany them.I didn't know who it was, so why hire someone else, the ready-made theater troupe is here.

It is common for actors to drink alcohol.The difficulty lies in that this is the troupe's celebration banquet.Nowadays, we all talk about new Western ideas, and everyone is equal.Although everyone knows that they are not equal in fact, they are all decent people, and they have to behave in such a situation where people talk a lot.What's more, Qin Meixiang at the main table is not just a random little girl who can be called around.

So as soon as these words came out, the faces of a few decent nobles were not very good-looking.Xie Wuye said haha: "Since I want to accompany you for a drink, I will accompany you!" As he spoke, he had a full drink, which seemed to put an end to the embarrassment.

But someone was so drunk that he still refused to give up and pulled Qin Meixiang: "Boss Qin, the stool is so hard and uncomfortable. You sit here..." He pointed at his knee.

Qin Meixiang gently pulled her sleeves out, still with a smile on her face: "Shen Beile is drunk..."

Then Lord Belle didn't let go, instead he yelled: "Boss Qin looks down on me?"

This is over, and everyone at the table persuaded: "Drink too much, Boss Qin has a good temper, don't be as knowledgeable as him..."

Shen Beile let go of his hand with drunken eyes, poured a full glass of wine, moved to Qin Meixiang, and lewdly looked over: "You drank."

Nothing to say to drunks.Qin Meixiang picked up the wine glass before drinking.But Shen Beile yelled again: "Slow down!" After finishing speaking, he poured a glass for himself, and came to hold Qin Meixiang's arm. It turned out to be the way to drink a glass of wine: "Boss Qin, I will teach you how to drink well..."

This is too much.Qin Meixiang hid outside for a while, and spilled the wine.

Shen Beile immediately yelled: "Hey, you stinky opera singer! My father told you to drink to flatter you..."

Before the words fell, a sound of a plate breaking was heard.Shen Beile was pressed face down heavily into the plate.

Qin Meixiang was shocked, and saw Xu Pingshan standing behind him at some point, holding the struggling person on the table with one hand, with dangerous eyes.

This time everyone panicked.Eating well, how could it be like this.Young Master Yu Qi raised his head when he heard the sound, and was also stunned.He quickly got up and ran over: "Hey, what's the matter? Calm down, calm down..."

Xu Pingshan didn't pay any attention to anyone, he pinched the back of Shen Beiler's neck with his big hands like iron tongs and crushed it into the plate.Someone came over to tease him, but when he saw his eyes, he was frightened, so he could only whisper: "Don't mind me, don't be serious...Today is a good day, don't worry about that drunk..."

Qin Meixiang was afraid that he would really cause trouble.Behind Shen Beile is the clan of the old nobles.Although it is not as good as before, it is still a centipede after all.He boldly pulled Xu Pingshan's arm, and persuaded him in a low voice: "Forget it...it's nothing to worry about, it's just talking too fast...it's not worth getting angry..."

Xu Pingshan finally picked it up from the table, looked at Shen Beiler's colorful face, and patted it: "Oh, what's the matter? Oh...I'm really sorry, I was so happy today, and Xu was drinking too much." It's a bit high...don't bother with me, I'll wipe it off for you, I won't make it up to you..." As he spoke, he pulled up Shen Beiler's sleeve and slapped him heavily on his face.Then he laughed and put the person back in his seat.

Everyone was dumbfounded: what is this called?

Shen Beiler was bluffed and frightened, so he woke up early.At this moment, he shrank his neck like a quail, his face was covered with nosebleeds and sauces, he looked more like a clown than a clown.The witty and witty one couldn't help laughing even though he was in doubt, and by the way he smoothed things over quite wittily: "How should I put it, drink less wine and eat more food. Come, come, eat vegetables. Vegetables, buddy! Clean up here! We're celebrating a new show today..."

The theatrical troupe hangs out with all kinds of teachers and nine streams all day long, and I have never seen any kind of posture.Celebrities are also used to dealing in the social arena, so this farce was exposed in an understatement.Hao Jiaotian was mature, and immediately opened his mouth, wanting to tell everyone a little bit.The famous actor said so, so naturally there is no one who does not support it.So the banquet became lively again, and everyone just pretended not to see Shen Beiler's miserable face.

Xu Pingshan said he was drunk, but his eyes were blurry in a second, he staggered back to his table, and called him brother Xie Wuye.Yu Dongrong was also at the table, and took advantage of the opportunity to call Qin Meixiang to sit down.So Qin Meixiang passed by, just separated from Xu Pingshan by a person.From time to time, he chatted with people for a while, and the rest of the time he just sat there, eating in a gentle manner.Occasionally, he raised his head and glanced at Xu Pingshan calmly, and saw him drinking happily with Xie Wuye, it seemed that there was nothing wrong.

Young Master Yu Qi's mouth was never idle, he talked more than anyone else, and drank less than anyone else.This is what he does.While doing so exquisitely and perfunctorily, Qin Meixiang's diet can also be taken into consideration at the same time.The red bean paste in the first-class eight-treasure rice and the abalone in the white-grilled four-treasures were already on Qin Meixiang's plate before others could see clearly.Immediately, someone made a joke: "Why is it that the seventh master is only serving Boss Qin's food alone? Isn't it fair?"

With a smile, Yu Dongrong picked up a chopsticks of fried fish fillets for a wealthy businessman next to him.The wealthy businessman was a well-known clean freak, when he saw the chopsticks being handed over, he hurriedly guarded his dishes, and said with a smile, "Don't dare to work, Qi Ye."

Young Master Yu Qi's chopsticks made a bend, and put the sliced ​​fish into his mouth.After eating happily, he said to the opposite side: "Look, I don't blame me for this matter. Or you come over and exchange places with Mr. Peng?"

That one smiled and spat at him: "Well, I'm so close to you, my ears can't bear it."

Everyone laughed.

In the end, the cups and plates were messed up, and half of the people on the table were drunk.Xie Wuye yelled to pay the bill, the shopkeeper came over and said that the theater manager had already settled the bill.Yes, the money is in the hands of the theater.So he grunted a few times symbolically, and was helped away by the buddy.As soon as the guest of honor leaves, the table should be broken up.Yu Dongrong also got a little drunk, settled down one by one and sent everyone away.Looking back, hey, Qin Meixiang's seat is empty.

Xiao Yulin didn't drink, so he came to help him: "Boss Qin is gone."

Yu Dongrong said strangely: "It is agreed that I will send him off..."

Little Yulin's face was rarely worried: "I was taken away by that teacher."

Yu Dongrong was silent for a moment, then sighed.

In the private room, Xu Pingshan poured himself on Qin Meixiang as drunk as mud.Boss Qin had no choice but to carry him outside. Unexpectedly, Xu Pingshan didn't let go until he got into the car, and dragged Qin Meixiang into the car with his arms.

As soon as the car door was closed, the eyes of the people around him were clear, and they looked like drunks.

This is another play.It's a pity that this person doesn't go to sea to sing.

Qin Meixiang straightened her clothes and was about to say something.But Xu Pingshan raised his hand: "It's not up to you today." He stared at him, his voice suppressed anger: "I have a debt to settle with you."

It's nothing more than that I didn't sleep well last time, and I want to make up for it.Qin Meixiang was a little annoyed, but she couldn't say anything.He said flatly: "The accounts at the theater are always counted very quickly, and the share can be delivered in four or five days. This time the new play can be performed successfully, thanks to the general's generous help..."

Xu Pingshan sneered: "I never thought of getting back the money I gave out."

Qin Meixiang smiled: "It's just what the general deserves. This is also the rule of Liyuan."

Xu Pingshan approached suddenly, gritted his teeth and said, "Boss Qin is pretending to be confused with me?"

There was a smell of alcohol in his mouth, and Qin Meixiang dodged subconsciously: "Meixiang doesn't know what the general is talking about." He paused, and then said softly: "The past few months have been focused on acting, if there is something not thoughtful... ...You are open-minded, so you spared Mei Xiang..."

Xu Pingshan was furious: "Your show! Are you willing to risk your life for the play!"

Qin Meixiang suddenly realized what he was talking about, and felt a little unbelievable.He considered it for a while: "It's just acting. Besides... I have a background in martial arts, and I know it well..."

"How many farts do you have! Do you really think I don't know anything? Tell you, before I went up the mountain, I practiced with Master Wu for ten years. The little things in your drama are leftovers from learning Kung Fu. "He couldn't help but stretch out his hand to unbutton Qin Meixiang's clothes.

Qin Meixiang was a little flustered and glanced ahead.The driver kept his eyes fixed, like a puppet.With such a flash of skill, Xu Pingshan stripped half of his clothes off.His actions were rough, Qin Meixiang finally couldn't bear it, and groaned softly.

Xu Pingshan stared at his shoulder and didn't speak for a while.Finally he let go.Qin Meixiang lowered her head and put on her clothes silently.

"You can do it." After a long time, he heard Xu Pingshan squeeze these words out between his teeth: "It's ruthless."

So all the way with a cold face.Say no more.

When they arrived at Xu's mansion, Qin Meixiang went to take a bath in silence.When I came out after washing, I could smell a very pungent medicine smell in the room.Xu Pingshan was sitting on the edge of the coffee table with his cigarette dangling, with his chest open, warming something on a small alcohol stove, when he saw Qin Meixiang, he raised his chin at him: "Come here."

Qin Meixiang didn't want to disobey him at this stall, after all, she would be the one to suffer at that time.He walked over obediently: "This is... medicine?"

Xu Pingshan put out the cigarette, and took off his bathrobe: "Be short."

Qin Meixiang turned her back and knelt down habitually.The hot medicinal wine fell on his back, making him shiver from the heat.After applying it, it is hot, and the whole shoulder is on fire.Xu Pingshan had a rather admiring tone: "Does it hurt?"

"I'm used to it." This is a true sentence, this little pain is nothing at all.When he was studying opera, he was beaten much more severely than this.

Before he could say thank you, a pair of hands came up and rubbed his wound like rolling dough.She didn't know which tendon was rubbed, Qin Meixiang only felt that her whole body was sore and swollen, which was more uncomfortable than pain.He couldn't hold it back anymore, and a moan escaped softly from his throat.

Xu Pingshan paused for a moment, and then became even more ruthless: "If you play a few more fucking times, you'll be disabled!"

"It's because I'm not good at kung fu." Qin Meixiang argued: "My senior brother is fine. Just practice more and it will be fine. From now on..."

"There is no future." Xu Pingshan pressed the acupuncture point on his shoulder blade: "This scene is not allowed to be performed again."

Qin Meixiang was so pressed that he could hardly kneel down, she was in a daze, she just thought it was an angry remark.Originally, a play could not be performed continuously all day long.He responded vaguely: "Well, I won't act."

Xu Pingshan said sternly: "It's settled, but we can't act anymore."

Qin Meixiang held the soft tendons for him, and only wanted to get out of his hands quickly, so she nodded softly: "Thank you, General, I'm much better..."

Xu Pingshan finally smiled: "Don't fucking think that I don't know about Xiao Jiujiu in your play. You're scolding me for a play."

The reason why this play can touch people's hearts is because Qin Meixiang resonates with that character.But if you insist on who it is aimed at, then there is really no one.Qin Meixiang was a little surprised that Xu Pingshan hurriedly took his seat.After the accident, it was silent again.

Before he could think about what was going on here.His back was sore again.When he lost his mind, he couldn't hold back anymore, and let out a gasp.

"Fuck!" Xu Pingshan cursed, followed by the movement of the belt.Before he could turn his head, the person was pushed to kneel down to the ground.

His entire shoulder and back were covered with bruises from the fall, layer upon layer.Xu Pingshan did not directly press on him like usual.There is only such a limited area of ​​skin for their blind date.

But it was so deep that it seemed that the whole body was penetrated.

Xu Pingshan's hands were still rubbing his back.Pain, soreness, swelling.Then it was numb, crisp, and itchy again.It spread from the back and spread all over the body.

It could have been the drinks tonight, or it could have been something else.As soon as he opened his mouth, he seemed to be unable to stop.Those broken, little moans and sighs.

In the end all the feelings stay in that limited place.Rough, warm and wet hands covered him and squeezed him tightly.

He suddenly raised his neck amidst the low growl from behind, and with a clear cry that didn't sound like a human voice, he collapsed on the carpet.
