Since Duan Xiaochen returned to China, Xu Qingya has never been to Du Caige's house, giving him the feeling that Xiao Xu is avoiding meeting Duan Xiaochen at his house.

In this regard, Du Caige is also happy to see it.

When he finally repaired all of Xu Qingya's photo photos and was about to pack them and send them to her, Xu Qingya refused.

"LL can't transmit such a large file, and neither can the mailbox. ”

"That's with a network disk. Du Caige said.

"It's not safe, there will always be traces on the Internet, uncle, you better copy it to the mobile hard drive and give it to me." ”

Du Caige thought about it, and this is also the reason.

They meet at a café.

In the past few days, the weather in the magic capital has not been very good, black clouds are pressing down on the city, it is rainy, and the roads are muddy in many places.

The weather forecast says that there will be a few more days of rain and then light snow in the third and fourth days of the new year.

But it is destined that there will be no snowball fights this year.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, the road is much smoother than usual, and many people have already driven away from the magic capital.

It was very smooth to bring the meeting place.

Xu Qingya had already arrived early, her face was red from the cold, and she was very cute.

After Du Caige gave her the mobile hard drive, she smiled and grabbed Du Caige's hand, "Lend me a warm one, I froze to death." ”

Du Caige naturally would not object.

After a while, she simply snuggled up in Du Caige's arms.

Fragrant and soft.

"What have you been up to lately?" Du Caige asked her.

"It was a final exam before. Then Master asked me to participate in the rehearsal of "The Palace of Eternal Life", and this year they will go to the Spring Festival Gala, and they will only sing one play. The Spring Festival Gala is always a few traditional dramas, but this time there is finally a new drama, and it is so well written, the old-timers hope that we must be on this time. Although we haven't rehearsed very well yet, we can only catch ducks on the shelves. ”

Du Caige was a little surprised: "Then you are playing Yang Guifei? ”

"Who says I can't act? I can be very bewitching. Do you want to take a look?" Xu Qingya was not convinced.

"Yes, I know. Du Caige remembered a few shots when he took a photo of her at the hotel.

Xu Qingya may have also thought of those scenes, and her face turned even redder, and she was red to the root of her ears.

After a while, she smiled and said, "But I won't be involved in the show, not in the next few years." Master said that in the past few years, I have focused on film and television and made more movies. When "The Palace of Eternal Life" goes to the show, I won't be allowed to appear for the time being. But I have to be prepared, and if the main actor has an accident or a small accident, I will be ready to go up at any time. ”

Du Caige nodded. If Xu Qingya wanted to participate in the performance, she would go to the northern rehearsal ten days and a half months earlier.

"You are the number one Tsing Yi in the world in the future, and you must be able to sing such a repertoire as the Palace of Eternal Life. ”

"Of course. Xu Qingya said arrogantly.

"By the way, uncle, after the New Year, I will take you to a good place. ”

"What's a good place? I'll be very busy after the New Year. Go for it today if it's convenient for you. ”

Xu Qingya seemed to smile: "Today...... It's not impossible. Maybe I'll kidnap you. Do you dare to come with me?"

"What don't you dare, whether you kidnap me or I kidnap you, it's a question. ”

"Uncle," Xu Qingya lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, "Then will you kidnap me?"

Du Caige responded speechlessly.

Xu Qingya raised her head and smiled: "Just kidding." ”

Du Caige breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, your expression doesn't look like a joke......

But since you say it's a joke, then I'll take it as a joke, otherwise how can I fool the past.

Before the coffee was finished, the two got up and left.

Xu Qingya spread her palms and asked for the key, and Du Caige would naturally meet her little request.

"The place is far away, are you sure you want to go?" asked Xu Qingya when she got into the car.

Du Caige actually wanted to stay with her for a while. "Go. Tomorrow is the New Year, and there is nothing to do today. Anyway, the place you took me to is still open today?"

"You'll find out when you go. ”

Although the traffic conditions were very good today, it was still more than an hour of driving before Xu Qingya said, "It's almost there."

In normal road conditions, it is estimated that it will take two hours to drive.

At this time, they have already passed the Ring Expressway and are almost in Kunshan.

However, there are like-minded people along the way, and there are beautiful beauties in Zhongtiandi to enjoy, which is not boring.

"Haven't you always wanted to know where my pay went? ”

With that, Xu Qingya drove the car into a paid parking lot.

Du Caige looked out the window.

Not far away, a signboard caught his eye.

"Deer Theatre".

He pointed to the sign and asked, "Where is that?"

Xu Qingya smiled.

With a little cunning, with a little enthusiasm and kindness, like a child who wants to share his beloved toys with his best friends. "I bet you'll love it. Maybe I won't like it very much, but at least I like it a little. ”

She raised her right hand and gestured with her little finger for a "little bit".

With the mischievous smile on her lips and the moving light in her eyes, the action was very cute.

After parking the car, Xu Qingya naturally took Du Caige's hand, strolled over like an ordinary couple, and came to an iron door.

The large iron gate is locked, and this is the door for vehicles to enter and exit.

There was a small door next to it, but there was no padlock. With a slight push, it opened.

Through this small door, they walked into a small courtyard, which was not very large, with a dozen parking spaces, and two small narrow flower beds, which were naturally full of flowers at this time, but there were still some bright green struggling to survive.

On the front is a small building with a plaque: Luming Theater.

Next to the line of small print: Pioneer Experimental Theater.

Xu Qingya gave Du Caige a brief introduction all the way: "This place is very close to Kunshan, uncle, you know, Kunshan is the birthplace of Kunqu Opera. The owner and proprietress of this theater are both Kunshan natives and have loved Kunqu opera since childhood. Later, they both entered the Wudu Kunqu Opera Art Troupe, where they met and fell in love. ”

"They're all young, in their twenties, a little bit older than me. But they are from the same family as me, and their master's master and my master are sisters and brothers. So in terms of generation, they are all my teachers and nephews. ”

The teacher and nephew are okay, Xu Qingya's seniority in the opera industry is too high, she directly studied under the older generation of master He Tiantian, and now a group of Mesozoic famous actors who are 40-60 years old are her brothers, and most of the new generation of 20-30 years old are her teachers and nephews.

Xu Qingya continued: "They like opera very much, but their concept is a bit radical, they want to combine opera and modern pop elements at a deep level, and they want to modify the music and lyrics, read the words, and even move and move. They believe that in this way, opera can be passed on in the fast-paced modern society and achieve better development. ”

"At least the masters and uncles can't accept it, thinking that this will lose the traditional beauty and elegant beauty of opera. Some seniors said that if opera was to become like this in order to survive, they would rather die out from now on. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Qingya turned her head to look at Du Caige, with a smile in her eyes: "Uncle, what do you think?"

Du Caige refused to comment, "I'm not a person in this circle, it doesn't matter what I think." ”

"But it's important to me. ”

On the topic of art, Du Caige occasionally flickered and sometimes perfunctory.

But once you open your mouth, you will never lie, and you will not say anything against your will.

Even if it upsets her by saying it, there is no way to do it.

So he thought about it for a while and gave a serious answer: "Before I saw it, I heard you describe it like this, and I was a little repulsed, worried that the new school of opera developed by their theory would lose the essence of traditional opera and the things that moved me the most." But I'd like to hold my opinion and watch a few of their performances first. ”

Xu Qingya smiled: "It's a pity that there is no performance today." After the New Year, I'll take you to see their performances sometime. ”

Du Caige didn't know her answer, whether she liked it or not.

Because Xu Qingya obviously supports these two teachers and nephews, and even invests most of her own income to help each other.

But judging by the way she looks, she should be able to accept her own thoughts.

In terms of art, it is very important to seek common ground while reserving differences, and it cannot be like religion.

When an art form can only accommodate one voice, that is when that art dies.

A lone branch is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom in spring.

This is especially true for the arts.

Since there was no performance today, there was actually nothing to see.

And the husband of the two bosses is not there, only the wife is cleaning up at the end.

Seeing Xu Qingya come to the door with Du Caige, the young girl first said in surprise: "Xiaoya, have you found a boyfriend?"

Xu Qingya neither admitted nor denied it, but just smiled and introduced Du Caige to her.

Xu Qingya's female nephew is Du Caige's own family, also surnamed Du, and has a very common name "Du Juan".

"It's not the cuckoo's juan, it's the juan's juan," she emphasized with a smile, "Brother Du, the 'Palace of Eternal Life' you wrote is really a masterpiece, and the one in my family has been talking about wanting to meet you in real person, thank you for your contribution to Kunqu Opera." ”

Hearing this, Du Caige had a preliminary understanding of the teacher and nephew he had never met - he would thank others for their contributions to Kunqu Opera, which showed that he really regarded Kunqu Opera as a very important thing in his life and regarded the promotion of Kunqu Opera as his life goal.

Du Juan took them on a tour of the office, costume collection room, musical instrument storage room, etc., and showed them a small theater with 200 seats and a maximum capacity of 300 spectators.

"It's a very simple little place, which makes Brother Du laugh! Du Juan said.

"It's not easy for you to do that. It's definitely not a small overhead, is it?"

"Yes, without my aunt's funding, our theater would have closed down a long time ago. Du Juan said frankly.

Du Caige didn't ask Xu Qingya how much money she funded.

It's someone else's business.

"I suddenly want to invest in theaters, I'll invest 500,000 yuan, give me 5% of the shares. ”

Du Juan refused: "That's not good, we haven't invested much money in this theater in total, and now we haven't been able to make a profit, 500,000 yuan will give you at least 20% of the shares." ”
