Chapter 229: Pivoting

The next day was a good day, the TOEFL test was on this day, the Guangdong Cantonese Opera Troupe also came today, and Oliver's plane still arrived today, as if they were all in the same place.

Fortunately, the exam was in the morning, the arrival time of the Cantonese opera troupe was noon, and Oliver's plane landed at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, so as not to make Chen Dahe lose his skills and split himself into three petals, but there is no need to think about it on this day.

The TOEFL test is the easiest, and there is no fixed test time, whoever finishes the question first can go first, when others are still guessing the question, Chen Dahe has already brushed twice and finished writing, and then handed in the paper and left, leaving only the broken eyes in the test room.

After coming out of the examination room, he first told the team leader that he would return to the mainland later, and the team leader teacher also learned from the Xinhua News Agency that President Wang attached great importance to Chen Dahe, so naturally he did not have the slightest objection and let him leave freely.

Chen Dahe then got into the Mercedes-Benz waiting outside the examination room, and the driver drove straight to the hotel.

There are dozens of Cantonese opera troupes, so it is naturally impossible to stay at the expensive Mandarin Hotel, but it can't be too bad, at least more to go, and it's best to be close to the performance venue.

So Chen Dahe advanced money first, and chartered a three-star hotel near the performance theater as a residence for the Cantonese opera troupe during its stay in Xiangjiang.

The most important thing is that the hotel also has two restaurants, one Chinese and one Western, the Chinese can hold a celebration banquet, and the Western can be used as a buffet for the daily work of the troupe members, which is the most convenient.

When the car stopped at the door of the hotel, Zhu Shilin of Phoenix Pictures, Yuan Yangan of Great Wall Film Company, and Liao Yiyi of Xinlian Pictures were all waiting there, in addition to the three of them, there were dozens of people standing in a pile on the other side, most of them were Cantonese opera celebrities and theater representatives who had participated in Chen Dahe's reception reception the night before.

Because of the reason that they had met Chen Dahe before, these people came to greet him, so that Zhu Shilin didn't even have a chance to speak, they also wanted to beat the side drum for Chen Dahe in advance, and asked him to help promote the union of the three companies in Beijin, if it was the day before yesterday, they might still be a little embarrassed, but now they can make a request with confidence, they also contributed to Chen Dahe's distress yesterday, and the force is not small, and it is not too much to do now.

But now there are a lot of people, so I can only wait for the next time to find a chance to mention it.

At noon, two buses came from a distance, and with a shout at the door, everyone looked at each other and rushed to the door of the hotel to wait.

When the actors of the Cantonese opera troupe got out of the car, these famous actors consciously lined up in two rows, leaving a passage in the middle to applaud and welcome, and at this moment they seemed to become fans of the opera on a daily basis, while the Cantonese opera actors from the mainland became stars.

After all the Cantonese opera troupe members entered the hotel, Wu Nianping accompanied an old man in his seventies to Chen Dahe.

"Chen Sheng, let me introduce you," Wu Nianping pointed to the old man and said, "This is Mr. Xian Pinrong, the head of the Guangdong Cantonese Opera Troupe, Xian Lao, this is the promoter of this performance exchange meeting, Chen Dahe Chen Sheng." ”

Without waiting for Chen Dahe to speak first, Xian Lao stretched out his right hand first and said with a smile, "Hello Comrade Chen, I have been famous for you for a long time!"

Chen Dahe hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold it, and said with sincere fear, "Old Xian is too famous, you can call me Xiao Chen, thanks to Old Xian's concern, the younger generation is really ashamed." ”

"There's nothing to dare to do," Xian Lao said with a smile, "First the National Peking Opera Company, then the National Song and Dance Theater and the Xiaobaihua Cantonese Opera Troupe of Zhejiang Province, and now it's finally our turn to be the Guangdong Cantonese Opera Troupe, without your promotion, I don't dare to think about when I can come to Xiangjiang to perform." ”

At this time, there was already a large group of people standing densely around the three of them, basically all of them were famous Cantonese opera actors in Xiangjiang, many of these people were the descendants of Xian Lao, and some even studied art under Xian Lao's name in their early years, and when they heard Xian Lao's words, they had a good impression of Chen Dahe.

One of the old men in his fifties smiled and said, "Chen Sheng has done this very well, we haven't seen Master Xian for many years, and I can see Master Xian today, thank you Chen Sheng!"

Chen Dahe shook his head again and again, "Mr. Li praises falsely, in fact, at this time, the country has opened up its policy, and other people can also contribute to this matter, and the younger generation really doesn't dare to take credit." ”

"Even if it's a coincidence, we people have to accept your affection," another old man said with a serious face, "We have also heard about Chen Sheng's yesterday, and we dare not say anything else, from today onwards, Chen Sheng can walk freely on the Xiangjiang Territory, and such a thing will never happen again." ”

Chen Dahe was overjoyed when he heard this, and said again and again, "Then thank you masters!"

"Oh?" Xian Lao turned his head to look at the person who spoke just now and asked, "Ah Can, could it be that Xiao Chen had some accident here?"

The old man known as Ah Chan blushed slightly, bowed down and said, "Master Xian, it was our poor greeting that made Chen Sheng a little frightened, but Brother Li had already sent a message to Hongmen last night, and no matter what, Chen Sheng must not be involved, and they replied that night to make a guarantee." ”

Xian Lao frowned slightly, "Why are you still involved in Hongmen?"

Chen Dahe smiled bitterly, "This is related to several employees of my company, all of which are old stories, which are really difficult to talk about." ”

Seeing that Chen Dahe didn't want to say, Xian Lao didn't ask any more, anyway, the Cantonese opera industry has already protected him, then Brother Li in Ah Can's mouth is the person who talked to Chen Dahe just now, this person is a descendant of one of the founders of Hongmen, and his words can still be useful in talking about the rules and seniority of Hongmen.

The people of the Guangdong Cantonese Opera Troupe arranged to check in, and after a short rest, they began to receive the feast, and the Chinese restaurant of the hotel was full of 16 tables, and the Cantonese Opera Troupe accounted for 10 tables, and the rest were all guests who came to receive the wind for the Cantonese Opera Troupe, and almost most of them were well-known figures in the Xiangjiang Cantonese opera industry, which shows that the Xiangjiang Cantonese Opera Troupe attaches great importance to the performance of the Guangdong Cantonese Opera Troupe.

After eating a meal until two or three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Dahe had to go to the airport to pick up people, so after confessing to Xian Lao after the meal, he rushed to Kai Tak Airport with Ma Jiatong.

At this time, the Xiangjiang Airport is still in the downtown area, Kai Tak Airport with only one runway, and the location is in the Kowloon City District, and the hotel where the Cantonese opera troupe stays is not far away, it only took more than half an hour to rush from the hotel to the arrival hall of the airport.
