Chapter 7 Dinner
"Rhetoric. ”
Xiao Xu said this, but the expression on her face was not like that at all, I could penetrate the joy in her eyes and taste the joy in her soul.
"My rhetoric is only for you. ”
"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, when I finish rehearsing the scene with Zhang Li, you can teach me to sing that song. ”
I nodded, looked up at the clock on the wall, it was already 4:40 in the afternoon, and I quietly watched them rehearse, they rehearsed Daiyu after reading "Huizhen Ji" Later, when I was resting in the tent, I read a sentence: Every day when the family thinks about falling asleep, because the people who played Baoyu didn't come, Yuan Mei helped play Baoyu, and after acting for a while, the front was okay, every time Yuan Mei said the lines of the amorous lady and the iris, Xiaoxu and Zhang Li always laughed back and forth, saying this sentence The girl said it was too strange, and it felt very wrong, so it was better to find a boy to play. The three of them looked east and west, each actor was busy with his own business, Xiaoxu saw that there was no one to find, so he put his eyes on me, looked at me for a while, she beckoned to Zhang Li, the two bit their ears for a long time, and ran to say something to Yuan Mei, I looked at them with interest, I only felt interesting in my heart, but I still pretended not to understand anything, waiting for them to visit.
Sure enough, after the three girls chatted for a while, the three of them came over to me side by side, and I pretended not to know and asked:
"What's wrong? Why don't you act?"
"We want to ask you to do us a favor. "Zhang Li's accent is still so cute, always pronouncing you as Li.
"But it doesn't matter, as long as the three girls are in need, Li will not hesitate to go to the soup!"
Xiao Xu smiled and slapped me and said, "You guy, it seems like we want your life!"
"Oh, why do you still beat people when you ask for help, I won't help. ”
"Hmph, if you don't help, just spit out the popsicle I bought for you. ”
"Hey, you're waiting for me here? Alas, cannibalism has a short mouth, there's no way, you say. ”
Xiaoxu ran behind me, rubbed my shoulders and said:
"It's not a big deal, I just want you to help us put on a show. ”
"Okay, my acting skills are actually pretty good, what role do I play?" I actually told the truth, I went to a media college, and I often have the opportunity to act, and I have played the leading role in many short films, speaking of which, my acting skills may be stronger than some newcomers in this crew.
"You're quite confident, so you can play better. Xiaoxu handed me Yuan Mei's script, I was watching, she patiently pointed to the content of the book with her slender fingers, and explained to me the part of preparing for rehearsal, including the character's demeanor, tone, action and a lot of detailed and complicated interpretation content and performance skills, and even Jia Baoyu's state of mind told me clearly, I was surprised, I always thought that Xiaoxu had no acting skills, but I didn't expect that the real her was a drama addict who studied performing arts, and she was really worthy of the word actor.
I listened patiently, remembered carefully, Xiaoxu talked endlessly, for ten minutes, without even repeating anything, today is really a lesson from her.
"Xiaoxu, you really impress me, your understanding of performance is so deep that I feel like a grain of sand in front of you. ”
"You, you, you speak better than you sing, and I won't be happy at all if you have nothing to do. Xiaoxu said high-sounding, but he smiled like a flower.
I read the script carefully for a few minutes, read all the sentences in it, and figured out the feelings in place, so I beckoned Xiaoxu and Zhang Li to take a look, I stood up for them according to the dispatch in the play, and asked Yuan Mei to help play the old mother and the attacker in the end, after some tossing, I started the audition, Xiaoxu sat on the chair, chanting the lines of daily family love and sleepiness, I pretended to stand outside the door, learning from the appearance of Jia Baoyu played by Ouyang, and jumped into the house:
"Why do you fall asleep every day?"
Xiaoxu listened, leaned on the chair and pretended to be asleep, I smiled unconsciously when I saw her like that, put my hand on her small shoulder, and Yuan Mei also shouted at the right time:
"My sister is sleeping, Bao Erye will come back when she wakes up. ”
Xiao Xu turned over when he heard this, and said with a smile:
"Who sleeps? ”
"Let's all fall asleep as a girl, Zijuan, and when the girl is awake, come in and serve. Yuan Mei said, flashed a way, and let Zhang Li take place.
Xiaoxu straightened out his bangs and said angrily:
"People are sleeping, what are you doing in here?"
"What did you just say?"
"I didn't say anything. ”
I raised my hand and tapped Xiaoxu's forehead lightly and said:
"I'll give you a quirk to eat!
When Zhang Li heard this, she walked in quickly, I glanced back at her, stretched my legs on the chair and said:
"Treasure... Zijuan, bring me a bowl of your good tea. Seeing Zhang Li, Baochai almost blurted out that sentence.
"Ignore him, scoop me up and wash my face first. ”
"How can this work, Second Master Bao is a guest, so naturally show him tea first. Zhang Li turned around and walked out, and I patted my thigh excitedly and said:
"Good girl, if you are an amorous lady with a kite, how can you be willing to fold the quilt and make the bed!"
Xiao Xu glanced sideways and said:
"Second brother, what did you say?"
I was startled, half a pot of cold sweat flowed, and hurriedly said:
"I didn't say anything. ”
Xiaoxu covered his face with his hands and said with a crying voice:
"Now the emerging ones, I listened to the village dialect outside, and I also told it, and after reading the bastard book, I also made fun of me, and I became a boredevil!"
When I saw it, I hurriedly said to Xiaoxu continuously:
"Good sister, I said the wrong thing, don't tell me, if I do it again, I will have a boil in my mouth and a rotten tongue!"
"Second master, why are you here, the master called you. ”
Xiaoxu jumped down from the chair, and the pear blossom with the rain turned into a lively and active little girl in a second, walked up to me and said:
"Okay, that's it, you still play Baoyu like that, when I see Director Wang again, I will definitely recommend you to Director Wang!"
Yuan Mei listened, and couldn't help nodding and said:
"Xiaoxu is right, you really have a heart to play Baoyu, and you have that kind of taste in every move. "Yuan Mei thought that I had studied the role of Baoyu, but I didn't know that I had already watched the full set of Red Mansions, so I naturally knew the results of the film crew's scrutiny a hundred times, plus Xiaoxu, who was close to me, why should I not play it well?
Listening to the praise of the two of them, although my heart was happy, but my brain was still very calm, I waved my hand at them and said:
"Forget it, I can't play Baoyu, I'm a lighting artist, so I should do my own thing. ”
Although I said this, I didn't think so, on the one hand, I am one meter eight five tall, a little taller than Hou Changrong, the reason why he missed Baoyu is because he is too tall, let alone me, on the other hand, I can't bear to snatch the only classic role in Ouyang Fenqiang's life, if he can't play this Baoyu, I may ruin his life.
"How do you say that, if you play Baoyu, someone else will naturally take over your work, you don't have to worry!" Xiaoxu didn't give up, and asked me tightly.
I looked at her solemnly and said word by word:
"I have a specialization in the art industry, please respect my profession. ”
A trace of loss flashed in Xiaoxu's eyes, and he lowered his head and remained silent, I also felt a little guilty when I saw her like this, but I couldn't help it, I couldn't cross my conscience.
Xiaoxu's affection was low, like a child who had been reprimanded by his parents, and in order to divert the topic, I shouted at the three of them:
"Do you want to go to dinner, I'm in for a treat!"
Xiao Xu raised his head and looked away, his eyes covered with a faint layer of sadness, and said softly:
"I'm not going. ”
"How can you not go, this meal, but it has a special meaning, this is a testimony that the two of us are back together, and this is also the last step of my apology to you, you must appreciate your face." ”
After I finished speaking, I glanced at Yuan Mei, she was also clever, and quickly ran to Xiaoxu's side, took her arm and said:
"Xiaoxu, you see that Jiaqi said so, so bothered to pick a gift for you, and wrote a song for you by hand, the gift has arrived, the love has also arrived, you don't go, isn't it embarrassing him?"
Xiaoxu listened, looked at Yuan Mei, looked at me again, hesitated for a while, but nodded, Zhang Li also came over after seeing it, Yuan Mei took Zhang Li's arm, and the three of them walked out together, I said hello to Chen Honghai and Gao Hongliang, and went out with them.
Yuan Mei and Zhang Li discussed for a while, but still didn't decide what to eat, Xiaoxu didn't speak at first, but after a few minutes, he also began to join the discussion, I saw that Xiaoxu was no longer silent, I breathed a sigh of relief, and I regretted saying such hard words just now, and secretly made up my mind that no matter what I would do in the future, I would speak softly to Xiaoxu.
The three girls discussed for a long time, and finally proposed to eat shabu mutton, this hot day, I really don't know what they think, I don't care, I have been in good health since I was a child, heat-resistant, cold-resistant, hunger-resistant, and eating hot pot in summer is not a big deal.
In 1984, as the Sixth Five-Year Plan was nearing completion, the market economy and agriculture had developed by leaps and bounds, and the material needs of the broad masses of the Chinese people had been greatly satisfied.
On the way, I also secretly told her not to worry about spending money, she just smiled, patted her chest, and signaled to me to rest assured, speaking of which, every time I saw Yuan Mei, I did feel a lot more steady, maybe because she looked mature? Or have I seen her play a gentle and obedient, considerate attacker, let me bring the characteristics of the character into reality? In short, the result was the same, Yuan Mei not only had the ability to convince me, but also lived up to my trust, she took us to a very good-looking restaurant, with a very simple signboard with five powerful traditional characters: Donglai Shun Restaurant. Although the weather was very hot, the clerks were all neatly dressed, all white shirts and blue cloth pants, and I felt hot for them, although I wore a lot of them.
"What do you want to eat? The menu is on the board. The waiter took a small notebook and pointed to the wall to the side, and I followed the direction to see a small dark green blackboard hanging on the wall, on which lines of dishes were neatly copied with chalk:
I glanced at a bunch of dishes that I couldn't understand, such as the upper brain, the big three-turn, the small three-turned, the cucumber strips, and the grinding crotch, and I gave up and said to the three of them:
"I don't come to this place often, you can order whatever you want. ”
They didn't seem to understand very well, and after discussing with the waiter for a long time, they finally decided that something should be better, and I didn't mix it, anyway, I can eat anything, and there is nothing taboo.
"What do you want to drink?" the waiter asked without looking up.
"Do you want to drink?"
"Forget about the wine, you have to get up early every day to practice, and if you drink too much, you are afraid of making a mistake. Zhang Li is still as cautious as ever, the two of them nodded when they heard it, I saw this, ordered a few bottles of Arctic Ocean soda, and waited for the dish, within a few minutes, the dipping sauce and side dishes were served, a total of seven small bowls of dipping sauce, the waiter explained to us one by one, the dipping sauces were: soy sauce, sesame oil, shrimp oil, chili oil, leek flowers, red bean curd, sesame paste, side dishes are: sugar garlic, garlic, Coriander and sesame sauce baked cakes, I turned the table and turned everything in front of them, wanting to show my demeanor, but Yuan Mei gave me a copy first, which made me a little embarrassed, but I still accepted her hospitality.
About ten minutes later, the waiter came over with a steaming copper hot pot, and the mutton, frozen tofu, bamboo shoots, cabbage and vermicelli were also presented one after another, and the mutton was cut very neatly, evenly spread on the white plate with blue patterns, and it looked like it was machined. After the hot pot was served, the temperature around the table increased significantly, although there were two big fans blowing at us, but it was still hot and unbearable, I could endure it, but a few girls were bitter, they all rolled up their sleeves, revealing their white arms, and they were sweating deliciously.
I watched them eat for a while, and then I tasted the first piece under the urging of Yuan Mei, there was no dipping sauce, the mutton was fresh and crispy, from the 80s, the pollution-free and pollution-free Inner Mongolia lamb bombarded my taste buds with a unique grassland style, and it was delicious.
Eating delicious mutton, drinking cold soda, the sweat on my face was blown by the wind of the fan, cool and refreshing, I turned my head to look out the window, the red sunset sprinkled on the long street, like a red carpet, beautiful, this situation, I can't help but want to sing a song, afraid of disturbing the three girls, I just sang Wu Bai's first class in the world in my mouth:
The scenery of life is like the turbulence of the sea
Sometimes fierce, sometimes flat, dear friends, you be careful
The environment of life Begging will come out of the day
Don't complain about the sky, Mo Youren's fate is a lifetime
Eating hot pot and singing songs, he sat in front of Yiren in his dream.
Life is like this, what more can a husband ask for.
