Chapter 31 Nine Masters Set Rules
Mei Wenjiu looked around at everyone, he knew everyone here, all of them were the biggest people in various professions and factions, and some people even had to call themselves "Senior Brother"!
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, these people followed their father or Master Ma, and there were many Peking Opera masters, who worked together to push Peking Opera to such a height, and they also made great contributions.
But up to now, it is still these people who have become an obstacle to the development of the entire Peking Opera industry, they are proud of their achievements, they think very highly of themselves, they control the Peking Opera Company, they have set up all kinds of rules, so that the Peking Opera people who should be blooming are locked in a small cage.
The new generation of Peking Opera people has no chance to get ahead, only their disciples can rise to the top, and they will not be soft at all in suppressing other factions.
These people have become the mountain above the head of the Peking Opera industry, and now they are short of the last straw, if that straw really appears, then the entire Peking Opera industry will disappear in a short period of time, after all, the current Peking Opera has lacked the most important foundation, that is, the audience!
Therefore, although Mr. Mei Wenjiu has long known the vices and disadvantages of the Peking Opera Company, he can't move lightly without a good entry point, because he is like a nuclear weapon, and there is only one chance, if he can't get rid of the biggest drawbacks for Peking Opera, then Peking Opera will really be over.
It just so happened that Pei Yanzhi's deeds in the past two days have caused a sensation in the whole of China, Mei Wenjiu is not like others, he has heard his father say that this Pei Yanzhi, Mr. Mei Lanfang mentioned the name Pei Yanzhi when he mentioned to Mei Wenjiu when he was a Peking Opera actor of the same era, but because of the problem of time, the two have not met, let alone cooperated, so Mr. Mei is also a big regret in life.
But Mr. Mei Lanfang didn't know how Pei Yanzhi died, but he just said that after the July Seven Incident, he never heard of Pei Yanzhi again, and he didn't know that he was incognito, and he didn't know that he died in a foreign country.
So when Mei Wenjiu saw that article, he was moved, but also a little admired, the great man of the country is for the country and the people, and people like Pei Yanzhi can be called righteous people.
Mei Wenjiu also specially downloaded "Red Ling" sung by Pei Yanzhi, listening to "Red Ling", looking at that article, Mei Wenjiu couldn't help but burst into tears, and muttered, "Mr. Pei, eternal and heroic!"
When Liu Changsheng came to invite him to preside over the Peking Opera Theater Conference, Mei Wenjiu refused at first, I have already handed over the Peking Opera Company to you, if you can't do it, just change people!
But when Liu Changsheng said that he wanted to put the story of Mr. Pei Yanzhi on the stage of Peking Opera, Mei Wenjiu couldn't help but feel moved, the opportunity came!
Therefore, Mei Wenjiu agreed to Liu Changsheng's request and came to the Peking Opera Company.
Mei Wenjiu looked at everyone here, and her heart was full of feelings, but she said, "The Peking Opera Company needs to be reformed!"
As soon as these eight words came out, all the faces of the people on the scene changed, some were excited, some were excited, some were uneasy, and some were mournful.
Looking at the noisy scene, Mei Wenjiu also frowned slightly, and tapped twice on the ground with a cane, and the people who saw it quickly quieted down, and gradually the entire conference room became silent again, and everyone's eyes were on the old man with a straight back in the middle of the rostrum.
Although Mei Wenjiu's voice was not loud, it was word for word, and the beads of sweat of those who had ghosts in their hearts smashed on the ground.
"Since this conference, we Peking Opera Company, more than 70 Peking Opera actors, each faction, can only stay one, and the factions I am talking about are those that have been determined before the 80s, the so-called factions over the years, forget it!"
As soon as he said this, some people's faces turned red like boiled crabs.
This is also a very helpless thing in the Peking Opera circle, because the faction is a common thing, not the kind of sect I set up in the martial arts, I invite the world's heroes to be a witness.
This is not the case with Peking Opera, it is the art of this Peking Opera master who is unique, jumping out of the nest and standing in his own right, which is recognized by everyone, rather than self-styled.
But in the era of the vigorous development of Peking Opera, there were some opportunistic people who learned from other factions, but when they saw that this faction was in decline, and they had a little fame, they broke away from that faction and boasted that they were the founders of what faction they were, and they also recruited disciples.
Although there are not many such people in the Peking Opera circle, they also have a certain climate, because many ill-intentioned people can take advantage of it, so for a famous and decent person like Mei Wenjiu, it is scoffing at such a person.
There are a few middle-aged people who are not too old, and a trace of resentment flashed in their eyes, this is simply the practice of "digging people's ancestral graves", because of Mei Wenjiu's words, all of their emerging factions have become "evil crooked ways".
But the identity of Mei Wenjiu, there is nothing to say such things, it was originally your opportunistic tricks, and you were unwilling to deal with you before, but now it only needs Mei Jiuye's words.
Mei Wenjiu glanced at those people with disdain, they were all clowns who jumped off the beam, self-proclaimed kings, did they really think that others would identify with their faction?
Mei Wenjiu continued, "The second point, when did the Peking Opera Company have so many vice presidents, I came here today and found out that there are almost twenty vice presidents, what do you want to do, when I was the president, there were only four vice presidents, why do you want so many vice presidents?"
All of them have been removed from me, only the positions of four vice presidents are retained, and the rest should be done and what they should do, this is the Peking Opera Company, not a place for you to fight!"
The faces of more than a dozen vice presidents on the stage were a little sneering, even Pei Jingqi's face was somewhat unnatural, his eyes glanced at Pei Yanzhi who was standing at the back, and looked at Pei Yanzhi with a smile on his face, Pei Jingqi also glared angrily.
Pei Yanzhi held back a smile, just a vice president, you were originally excluded by others, but now it's okay, no official is light, but if today's story is lined up as Peking Opera, let alone a vice president, after Liu Changsheng retires, the next dean estimates that Pei Jingqi has a lot of hope.
After all, at that time, although the prestige of his own family was not as good as that of the Mei family, it was also below the family and above the hundreds.
