Years later, the weather got warmer and the streets became lively.The theater business is particularly prosperous, because He Cuixian is back.

His voice has changed from before.Now the voice is pharynx, broken and continuous, but tactful and soft, with more taste than before.

The comeback drama is the traditional old drama "Hou Hou Cursing the Palace", and "Jade Hairpin" which he arranged in his early years.Cao Xiaoxiang went to listen to it on purpose, and came back with only one sentence: "He is out of the cocoon."

When Qin Meixiang heard about it, she brought Xiao Yurong to listen to it.After listening to it, I was very emotional.Boss He is now in his own class.

But Xiao Yurong felt unwilling.Because of the past, he always had complaints about He Cuixian.However, Li Yuan relied on his ability to eat, if he wanted to get rid of this grievance, he could only hold back his energy and sing better than He Cuixian.

Qin Meixiang saw his thoughts in her eyes, and felt a little comfort in her heart.Xiao Yurong's talent is very good, but she lacks the energy to bear hardships.If he can overcome this shortcoming, when he reaches He Cuixian's age, his reputation will not be second to anyone else.

Qin Meixiang, a senior from Liyuan, who was listening to the opera together in the audience, was recognized.So as soon as the play ended, everyone hugged him backstage to congratulate He Cuixian.

He Cuixian has lost weight, but her spirit is much better than before.After all this, he didn't seem so arrogant anymore.Everyone congratulated him on his successful performance, and he exchanged greetings one by one, with thoughtful etiquette.

When he saw Qin Meixiang, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Boss Qin."

Qin Meixiang smiled sincerely and bowed to him.

He Cuixian seemed to heave a sigh of relief, glanced at Xiao Yurong who was silent beside him, and said softly: "Boss Ye is back too, I heard that the mechanism masters from Shanghai School have also been invited."

This is to imply to him that there will be another Romance of the Three Kingdoms between the three of them.Seeing Qin Meixiang's expression, she smiled and continued to chat with others.

Ever since she heard about that play, Xiao Yurong seemed to have realized something, and she no longer needed Yang Qinghan to stare at her when she was practicing.Sometimes Qin Meixiang was afraid that he would use too much force, so she would remind him to rest by her side.With such efforts, Kung Fu progressed very quickly.However, Yang Qinghan soon developed another kind of worry, because he couldn't find a suitable person to play with Xiao Yurong.

There are many actors in a play, and the famous actors pay attention to supporting each other.Those who have a tacit understanding can cooperate and make up for it in all aspects. After a long-term cooperation, the tricks will be performed seamlessly, and everyone will benefit from it.

Xiao Yurong used to be inseparable from Wu Zhiying, but suddenly there were no people around her, and the situation became awkward.As for the famous actors, they put on airs and thought he was young and not worthy enough; as for his contemporaries, they either had their own partners, or they couldn't catch his good voice.

Playing on stage also pays attention to a certain momentum.The two sides are evenly matched, and the show is good.If one party is not as good as the other, the worse one will inevitably lose its reputation from now on, and the audience is all discerning.Therefore, many actors know that their abilities are limited, and they are not willing to find artists who are higher than themselves to act.

The Hechun troupe started out as a martial arts troupe, and although Xiao Yurong was the first female lead there, there were not many chances of him being able to sing his own opera seriously.Without Wu Zhiying, now he can only support other martial arts students.Jiang Yuxiu's hottest scene right now is Changbanpo, and Xiao Yurong plays Mrs. Mi for him.But because it can't fit the mood of the characters, no matter how you act, it's just a supporting role.

Moreover, without a main earner in the family, livelihood also became difficult.Qin Meixiang and Yang Qinghan, plus a little Yulin, would help him from time to time.

Xiao Yurong was quite disturbed by this.Qin Meixiang often relieves him, but she also knows that this is not the way.It is almost impossible to think about leaving and spring shift.Xiao Yulin left when he was not popular, and spent [-] yuan.If Xiao Yurong wanted to leave, she didn't know how much she would pay.

Since there was no other way, I had no choice but to hold my breath, begging for the trick to be sung well, and looking forward to the day when the gold would shine and escape from the cage.

Besides Xiao Yurong, there was another thing that embarrassed Qin Meixiang.

An order came from above, and someone was sent down, saying that the Liyuan could influence the social atmosphere.This is true at first glance, because most of the actors' performances are about eradicating evil and promoting good, being loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and persuading people to be good.Since ancient times, the position of an actress has been humble, and everyone was happy to hear such affirmation.But the visitor quickly changed the subject, saying that the atmosphere in Liyuan was not right, that fish and dragons were mixed together, and that it needed to be rectified in order to play a good role.Removing the rubbish and saving the essence, on the one hand, can better play the educational significance of opera art to the society, and on the other hand, it can also change the society's view of Liyuan and improve the status of actors.

But what is turnip and what is turnip.The views of the official and the artists are quite different.

In the end, because we couldn't reach an agreement, we turned to the education of young artists.Male dancers drink wine, learn opera and get beaten, these naturally cannot be regarded as good customs.So it has to be upright and upright.

There are pros and cons to this matter, but I can't see it clearly for a while.But Qin Meixiang always felt uneasy.

A play is just a play, and whether it is good or bad is decided by the actors and audience.The reason why traditional opera can be passed down from generation to generation depends on the affirmation of opera fans.However, as soon as these words were said, the other party immediately expressed disapproval, and named Qin Meixiang's old play "Drunken Immortal Tower" to talk about.

Qin Meixiang remained silent.

He has played in elementary school, and has had several serious and unserious masters.Master Xu, who passed on his Zuixianlou, was a clapper opera performer, and his two most proud plays in his life, one was "The Palace of the Brahma King" and the other was "Zuixianlou".Because they are all difficult plays, there are not many apprentices who can master them, so it is not so secretive to pass them on—anyway, if you teach them, you may not be able to practice them well.Jianghu opera troupes used to travel from north to south to seek a living, and they were already in hardship.This Master Xu was not good at knowing people, and he died of depression after being cheated out of his savings in his prime.

He treated Qin Meixiang almost like abuse.During the play in the class, ten-year-old Qin Meixiang walked for thirty or forty miles on stilts, and her feet were dripping with blood.Once found to have loosened the stilt secretly, he would be beaten severely immediately.Master Xu beat people with a two-foot-long thuja stick. Qin Meixiang passed out every time she was beaten.In contrast, Yang Qinghan's little whip is simply extremely gentle.However, the excellent seesaw is also practiced in this way.Qin Meixiang was born in Tsing Yi, but now has a wide range of acting, all thanks to the extremely hard learning experience when she was young.

Because kung fu is not easy to come by, even though she has complicated feelings for this master, Qin Meixiang always cherishes the plays she has learned.Sometimes in the dead of night, I can't help but have a lot of thoughts.He was really afraid that the two plays would end in his own hands.

Yang Qinghan showed Qin Meixiang both plays.Jiuhua Niang in Zuixianlou belongs to Assassination Actress. Although Yang Qinghan doesn't act in this play, she is very accurate in this kind of play, so she can give Qin Meixiang many useful suggestions.But Brahma Palace can be regarded as a kind of Bangzi opera Luantan. Qin Meixiang's character is an extremely lively girl, whose temperament and temperament are quite different from her own.This is doomed that if he wants to achieve success in acting, it will be much more difficult than those colleagues whose nature and role fit.

This is also impossible.There are thousands of plays, and there are thousands of people.No matter how many plays you sing in your life, if you can remember one or two plays in the end, you have already achieved something.No matter how much the patriarch is willing to enjoy the food, he can't ask one person to make all the plays, right?

But the Wufu class would definitely not allow him to take out the Zuixianlou to perform again-how much trouble was caused by acting once in the past, and it is even more impossible to go up against the wind now.

After thinking about it, it's the play "The Brahma King's Palace", you can try it reluctantly.It's just that the play has been left behind for many years.Although Yang Qinghan is known for her lively and charming performances, in the final analysis she was born in elegant operas and big operas, and the small operas passed down from Bangzi opera are not her specialty, so she can give Qin Meixiang limited advice on this opera.

There is no way but to practice the trick again.

Of course Qin Meixiang was going to Yelu Hanyan, so who would Huayun want to come?After much deliberation, he finally thought of Xiao Yulin.Leader Cao was very worried about this.Singing is not Xiao Yulin's forte, and Boss Zhou has never learned this play.But the troupe of operas searched, can they find another actor who is good at martial arts and young and handsome?Although there is no shortage of martial arts performers in the city, they are either too old, or they are not familiar with each other, or they cannot come in the troupe that competes with the spring troupe.

So I have to be strong.Although it was a matter of catching ducks on the shelves, Xiao Yulin readily agreed.Even happy beyond everyone's expectations.If he agrees, that would be great.So Qin Meixiang had one more thing to do in her daily life: tell plays to Xiao Yulin every now and then.

Hanabe Luantan Opera used to have no playbooks, and it was all based on oral instruction, because many artists were illiterate.Here we can see the benefits of reading and literacy: Qin Meixiang silently read out the whole opera script, let Xiao Yulin memorize the opera words first, and then teach him other things, which has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.

Because the old book was born out of country slang songs, it is inevitable that there are some vulgar plots, and the tunes used are also different from Pi Huang's.These have to be changed one by one.So I discussed with my colleagues in the troupe to determine the places that need to be changed one by one.

In this way, while teaching and practicing at the same time, it can't delay the daily performance, and it will only make people busy like a spinning top.

Coincidentally, Yu Dongrong had nothing to do in those days, so he watched a play rehearsal in Cao's courtyard with a few gentlemen who contributed money to the Wufu class.

Xiao Yulin's character, Hua Yun, is a young hunter who can bend his bow and shoot eagles.There is a play in which he is asked to shoot down a paper falcon from a high platform with an arrow through its eyes.Even Wu Lianrui couldn't teach him - this is a unique skill in Bangzi opera.There was no other way, so I had to invite an old Mongolian who had worked in the riding and archery battalion in the old court to teach him archery.

Xiao Yulin learned very quickly.The target was replaced with something else after a while—copper coins hanging on a branch, the hole in the middle was pasted with red paper, and he had to shoot the arrow through the small hole.

Yu Dongrong was leaning on the porch drinking tea, and felt that although Boss Zhou was not so thin-skinned now, he was still very pleasing to the eye when he was concentrating on his work.Xiao Yulin was tall and straight, with broad shoulders and a slender waist, all of which grew on her legs.These days are very busy, and he doesn't pester Yu Dongrong so much in bed anymore.When I come to Yu's house to spend the night, I often fall asleep without saying a few words.

Young Master Yu Qi happily turned him over, gearing up to give him a boost.However, seeing Xiao Yulin sleeping soundly, nine out of ten times he couldn't do it.So I just lay beside him and watched, brushed my eyelashes, poked my face, and occasionally rubbed some unspeakable parts with evil intentions.Because Xiao Yulin never sleeps still, Yu Dongrong often stops after playing for a while.

There was only one time, when he had been fiddling for a long time, he accidentally raised his head and saw Xiao Yulin looking at him with half-closed eyes.Yu Dongrong shivered in shock, and in the next second Xiao Yulin turned over, stretched out his long arms, hugged him, and pressed half of his body weight onto him.Yu Dongrong seemed to be able to hear his shoulders creak.So he had to crawl out from under Boss Zhou's body with great difficulty, and lay down on the other side of the bed honestly.There was no one in Xiao Yulin's arms, and he was murmuring with his hands on the bed with his eyes closed.Yu Dongrong stretched out his hand and was immediately grabbed.So he had to hold it in his hands, and a complicated but sweet emotion rose in his heart.

While in a trance, I suddenly heard a burst of applause.Xiao Yulin finally shot the arrow through the copper coin hole.However, the bow-bearer didn't have any joy on his face, he just ran to the distance with a heavy heart and picked up the arrow that fell on the ground.

Yu Dongrong greeted him: "Stop practicing, let's rest." Xiao Yulin shuffled back slowly, sat down on the porch, and sighed softly.

Young Master Yu Qi poured him a cup of tea: "Isn't this very good, why are you sighing?"

Xiao Yulin shook his head, and said in a shy voice, "But do you know how many times I shot before I got hit like this one?"

Yu Dongrong comforted: "Haste makes waste. Old Tu said that you are smart and strong, and you can learn very quickly. Besides, this is not to participate in Naadam, but to act on stage. If you really can't practice, you can do it There are also some. When the time comes to make the paper eagle bigger, it doesn’t have to be shot in the eyes, wouldn’t it be enough to shoot things down.”

Xiao Yulin's expression slowly became serious: "That won't work. The most taboo in singing is to fool the audience, and to fool the audience is to fool yourself. Over time, word of mouth will be ruined." He lowered his head and gritted his teeth: "I can't give Boss Qin is ashamed."

Yu Dongrong dragged his cheeks and looked aside, Qin Meixiang was stretching his tendons on the bench in the corner of the courtyard.With standing stilts tied to his feet, it was difficult for him to kneel and lie motionless on the palm-width bench.People in the theatrical troupe have long been used to the strangeness: practicing kung fu, you have to suffer all kinds of strange hardships.Depending on how powerful you are, since you eat the food of the patriarch every day, you can't let go of your kung fu.

But Yu Dongrong wanted to sigh every time he saw it.The play is good-looking, but the practice is too hard.Danjiaoer's swaying skills and Wusheng's plunge, the former is suffering, and the latter is dangerous.Qin Meixiang has both, so Yu Dongrong always loves him very much.This kind of heartache is not the same as feeling sorry for Xiao Yulin, because Xiao Yulin can manage it with his own hands and persuade him with his mouth.Boss Qin is no longer under Yu Qineng's control.Because I knew it was nothing to worry about, I always felt helpless in my heart.

He asked Xiao Yulin softly: "What do you think of Boss Qin's tricks?"

Xiao Yulin said with admiration: "I have never seen anyone better than him in the whole city."

Yu Dongrong sighed: "Then do you know how old he started practicing?"

Little Yulin hesitated and said, "Zuo is only seven or eight years old..."

"It started as soon as he entered the team at the age of seven. Unless the master told him, the stilts never left his feet. They were tied up for traveling and work, and they could only be untied when sleeping. The stilts alone were not enough. There are also sandbags and tiles hanging on the ground... Wearing those things, driving thirty or forty miles of dirt roads to go to county by county to perform operas... I just want to say, don't worry. Which famous actor's unique skills, no It has been practiced for many years."

Xiao Yulin shook his head: "I know the truth. But... I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time for the performance..." He sadly said, "It's hard to get the chance to act with Boss Qin..."

Yu Dongrong hooked his little finger: "Then you can continue to practice, it doesn't matter what you do well. There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain." He took the small basket with Poria cocos pancakes beside him to Xiao Yulin Pushed in front of him.

Xiao Yulin grabbed it and quickly ate a piece, Littlefinger hooked Yu Dongrong tightly, then picked up the bow and returned to the place just now.

The corners of Yu Dongrong's mouth turned up slightly, and he lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
