In the past few days, Pei Yanzhi has also been annoyed, because after the agent went to sign a contract with Venus Media, although Venus Media has invested a lot of money this time, it is definitely worth it.

So, not only the movie but also Tu Honggang's music album, all of them have been promoted at any cost, and most of them have gone out, do you still care about this "little money"?

It's good now, the entire entertainment industry knows that Pei Yanzhi is willing to write songs for others.

You must know that although Pei Yanzhi has adapted so many Peking Opera for everyone in Peking Opera Beautiful Boy, those things belong to Pei Yanzhi, except for the drunkenness of the new concubine.

Now Pei Yanzhi is serious, and he has started selling songs at a clear price, although Venus Media is also publicizing, this is the theme song of the same name written by Pei Yanzhi for the movie Jingzhong to serve the country, and it is for the sake of Director Lin's face, half sold and half sent, but other talents don't care about this, selling songs is a good thing, especially now that the music industry is so dull, but the enthusiasm of music fans is still very high.

In the end, Pei Yanzhi really had no choice, so he could only post Su Baoer's phone number on his Weibo, saying that if there was anything at work, he would call this number, and if someone called to harass him, he would be permanently blacklisted, and all the people under the company would become a list of incontacts.

This time, it can be regarded as an Ansheng, except for some friends, there is really no one in the company who dares to touch Pei Yanzhi's tiger beard.

Since Pei Yanzhi performed twice with the Meilanfang Peking Opera Troupe and once abroad, Pei Yanzhi's style has also improved a lot, and now Pei Yanzhi has stepped into the ranks of second-tier stars with one foot, and when the movie Chi Ling is released, Pei Yanzhi will definitely become one of the second-tier stars.

However, according to the regulations, it is estimated that there will be no drama in the first line of stars in the past few years, unless there are bigwigs in the Peking Opera industry who would rather abdicate and make way for Xian, they will choose the best among the second-tier stars in the Peking Opera industry, but they will generally be designated by the big man who abdicates and makes Xian, but the designated person must be the so-called "quasi-first-line", otherwise, it will not be recognized.

Therefore, even if Pei Yanzhi's father wants to abdicate from the first-line actor to make way for Xian, Pei Yanzhi can't enter the first-line, and wants to become a quasi-first-line, according to Pei Yanzhi's current situation, it will take at least three years, after all, there are too many second-tier actors in Huaxia, and there are countless excellent second-tier actors, and those actors who are stuck in the quasi-first-line are at least thousands.

The speed of development of the entertainment industry in recent years has been too rapid, so the position of 99 first-line actors is very precious, but it is also too rare.

Many industries have begun to complain to radio and television, hoping to increase the number of first-line actors, and radio and television have also begun to investigate this matter, and it is estimated that there will be a new charter within this year.

However, Pei Yanzhi should not have this creation, and thousands of quasi-first-line actors who are waiting to be fed are staring at the quota of first-line actors who are ready to be released like wolves, and people's brains are about to hit the dog's brain.

This year's fight in the entertainment industry will be unprecedentedly terrifying, especially the actors who have been evaluated over the years, and Dong Hu is one of them.

Since last year, Dong Hu followed Lin Qingzhi to learn directing, and at the beginning of this year, he took a group of people out to film, this is the first movie he directed, if it can be successful, it is estimated that it will add a heavy stroke to his resume, because most of the film and television actors among those first-line actors are those who write, direct and act by themselves, or are directors, there are pure actors, but there are not many, and these actors are the kind of benchmark figures in the actor industry, as long as they come out to act, this year's actor will not run, unless a few first-line actors meet, otherwise, it is crushing。

These days, the agent Su Baoer also asked Pei Yanzhi to report his whereabouts every day, for fear of repeating this private behavior.

Pei Yanzhi was also coerced by Sun Yaqi's phone call, so he had to obediently send Su Bao'er his location three times a day to let him know where he was now.

On this day, when Pei Yan passed the front door, he found a small opera garden, and a group of people outside were soliciting customers and handing out leaflets.

Looking at the flyer in his hand, Pei Yanzhi suddenly realized that it was a shadow puppet club, which was a shadow puppet show.

At this time, Pei Yanzhi's interest came, because during the Republic of China, shadow puppetry was very popular, and at that time, it was the peak moment of shadow puppetry.

Shadow puppetry is a long-standing art form, the earliest can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty, according to the Han book, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty beloved concubine Mrs. Li died of illness, Emperor Wu's thoughts were in a trance, and he ignored the government all day long. Minister Li Shaoweng went out one day, and met children playing with rag dolls on the road, and the shadows were reflected vividly on the ground. Li Shaoweng's heart moved, and he cut the image of Mrs. Li with cotton silk, painted it with color, and installed wooden poles on his hands and feet. At night, the emperor was invited to sit in the tent and watch. Emperor Wu looked at Long Yan Dayue and couldn't put it down.

This story is considered to be the earliest source of shadow puppetry.

Shadow puppetry originated in Shaanxi Province and flourished in Hebei Province in the Qing Dynasty.

Many Chinese operas were derived from shadow puppetry, and they were transmitted to all parts of the world during the Yuan Dynasty, and played a leading role in the invention of films and art films later.

In the special era, shadow puppetry has also been devastated, and now the shadow puppet theater has basically broken off its inheritance, but the country is slowly recovering this oldest art form.

Pei Yanzhi basically can't see a serious shadow puppet show in the capital, and due to the decline of so many years, the audience for shadow puppet shows is almost gone, and some people don't even know what the name shadow puppet play means.

After Pei Yanzhi saw that many people received the leaflets, he took a symbolic look, and threw the leaflets into the trash can not far away.

These people looked at the flyers that were thrown into the trash, and their faces were lonely, but they were still very enthusiastic to stuff a leaflet into the hands of everyone who passed by, and said a few good words, hoping that the audience could come to see it.

Pei Yanzhi looked at this group of people, the old and the young, and couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Who are you class leaders?"

In fact, several of them already recognized Pei Yanzhi, and they were all whispering, but they didn't dare to come forward, and when they saw Pei Yan coming to ask, they invited a middle-aged man with gray hair from the garden.

This person walked out with some confusion, and the little apprentice who pulled himself out was a little excited, and he couldn't say clearly, what Pei Yanzhi was here, who was Pei Yanzhi!

But as soon as he came out, looking at Pei Yanzhi with a smile on his face, this familiar face, this person also frowned slightly, and finally remembered who this was, the young man in the Spring Festival Gala.

The little apprentice introduced, "Mr. Pei Yanzhi, hello, this is the head of our Shaanxi Qu Society, and also my master, Zheng Shuqing, my name is Chen Xiaoguang!"

Pei Yanzhi said with a smile, "Hello!"

Pei Yanyi stretched out his hand, shook Zheng Guangming's hand, and said, "Let's go in and talk!"

Although Zheng Shuqing didn't know what happened to Pei Yanzhi, he still politely led Pei Yanzhi into the garden.

This garden is not big, similar to the feeling of a small library, fifty or sixty square meters, with more than 20 chairs, and a small table next to each chair, which can put some tea and melon seeds and the like.

Behind the stage is a curtain, because of the shadow puppet show, people are behind the curtain to control the shadow puppet, performing a series of actions on the curtain, and the artist is also singing in the back, and does not show up.

Pei Yanzhi and Zheng Shuqing sat down, and the little apprentice brought a cup of tea to the two of them, standing next to them and waiting.

Zheng Shuqing asked, "Mr. Pei is passing by today?"

Pei Yanzhi said with a smile, "I happened to pass by here and saw the opening of the new theater, and I thought it was a friend in the Peking Opera industry, so I wanted to come and see it, but I didn't expect it to be a shadow puppet show, which also surprised me a little, Zheng Banzhu, are there many drama clubs performing shadow puppet shows in Beijing now?"

Zheng Shuqing smiled slightly bitterly and said, "In the entire capital plus our family, it is estimated that there are only five or six, but the audience is too small, and it is not enough to make ends meet!"

Pei Yanzhi thought for a while and asked, "I don't know how the techniques of these drama clubs are?"

Zheng Shuqing glanced at Pei Yanzhi with some confusion and said, "I have seen all their shadow puppet shows, and it is naturally impossible to compare with the older generation, but now, it is already good!"

Pei Yanzhi asked with some curiosity, "Oh?

Zheng Shuqing nodded, and said confidently, "Our family has been engaged in this art since the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, although it suffered a blow a few decades ago, but all the techniques and shadow puppets have been retained, and the inheritance has not been broken!"

Pei Yanzhi was suddenly in awe.

Pei Yanzhi asked, "What time do you start?"

Zheng Shuqing said, "There are two sessions a day, one at two o'clock in the afternoon, and one at six o'clock in the evening!"

Pei Yanzhi looked at his watch, it was already 1:40 in the afternoon, and it seemed that the show was about to start.

The actors outside also came in one after another, glanced at Pei Yanzhi and Zheng Shuqing, didn't stay, and went directly to the backstage to prepare for today's performance.

Pei Yanzhi stood up, went to the ticket office at the door, bought a ticket, 40 yuan, which is really not expensive, and then ordered a pot of tea and some melon seeds, which cost less than 100 yuan in total.

Looking at Pei Yanzhi's support, Zheng Shuqing also smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and said to Pei Yanzhi, "Mr. Pei, please take a seat, I'll go to the back, and I'll start immediately!"

Pei Yanzhi said with a smile, "You're busy, don't worry about me!"

Zheng Shuqing was not hypocritical, and hurriedly took the little apprentice to the backstage together, and the performance was about to begin.

Pei Yanzhi sat in the middle of the first row, and he looked comfortable.

Slowly, the sparse audience began to buy tickets to enter, this is the front door, it is a very prosperous place, and this point, it is the time when everyone comes out to shop after eating, and this shadow puppet troupe has also been here for some days, and there are still some audiences who like to watch this kind of art to come to cheer.

There are more than 20 seats, almost half of the attendance, in fact, about 10 people.

Pei Yanzhi sat in the first row, playing with his mobile phone, waiting for the shadow puppet show to begin.

"Hey, Pei Yanzhi!" a low-voiced exclamation sounded beside him.

Pei Yan was startled, turned his face to look, and saw a familiar face, Chang Xiaotu.

Although Chang Xiaotu had already lowered his voice, the people around him still heard it, but Pei Yanzhi was not worried, because when these people came in just now, Pei Yanzhi had already confirmed that like the current situation of Peking Opera, the audience is all old people, and it is more desperate than Peking Opera.

This is also the reason for such an artistic fault, but in Shaanxi Province and Hebei Province, one is the birthplace and the other is a prosperous place, and the audience base of shadow puppetry in these two places is still very good, but here in Beijing, shadow puppet theater is still difficult to be accepted by young audiences.

Chang Xiaotu stuck out his tongue embarrassedly and asked, "Pei Yanzhi, why did you come here, do you also like shadow puppetry?"

Pei Yanzhi looked at Chang Xiaotu with some curiosity and asked, "Of course, but I am quite surprised that you can come to this kind of place, you actually like shadow puppetry?"

Chang Xiaotu smiled slightly and said, "I don't like it, but my grandmother likes it!"

Chang Xiaotu looked at the old lady next to her, the old lady looked kind, but looked at Pei Yanzhi with a bit of scrutiny.

Pei Yanzhi felt a little numb in his scalp, and said with a forced smile, "Grandma, hello!"

Grandma Chang asked with a smile on her face, "The young man is so handsome, which school is he a student?"

Chang Xiaotu said with a smile on the side, "Grandma, he is the Pei Yanzhi I often tell you, the one who sings, don't you like his play very much in the Spring Festival Gala?"

Grandma Chang's eyes flashed, the smile on her face became sincere, and she said, "Oh, you are the kid on TV, you look so good, you sing well, your Peking Opera really has the taste of Master Ma Lianliang, young man, not bad!"

Pei Yanzhi felt a little flattered, and said embarrassedly, "Grandma, you have won the award, not as good as you said!"

Just as Grandma Chang was about to continue to praise Yan Zhi, suddenly, the lights in the theater dimmed, and several incandescent lamps lit up behind the curtain on the stage, illuminating the curtain very transparently.

The shadow puppet show officially began, Pei Yanzhi was also relieved, confessed to Grandma Chang, and then turned his head and prepared to watch the play seriously!

After hearing the curtain, the gong and drum guys also urged, just like the opening of Peking Opera, it was lively and lively first, focusing everyone's attention on the stage and preparing to start the play!
