The president said that he would help Li Li call and ask, but after a while, Li Li waited for the result that the phone was not painful, and people could not be contacted temporarily.

However, the president smiled: "You can go directly to him when you return to Spring City, he Zhang Guoping is still not happy?"

After putting down the phone, Li Li decided to return immediately without delay.

He just took the elevator downstairs, and saw his sister running towards him with two little short legs, "Brother, I have something to ask you!"

"Okay, I'm going to buy you snacks!" Li Li smiled.

Cherry was not happy at the time, and said aggrievedly: "Why do you always think that I only know how to eat!"

"Yo, what's the situation?"

Cherry pulled her brother and walked forward, "Brother, a little brother has fallen, let's go help him!"

"Where's your little sister?"

"I'm going grocery shopping with my mother!"

As soon as he walked a few steps forward, Li Li vaguely heard the crying of children, and after turning a corner in the community, he saw a six-year-old boy wearing roller skating sitting on the ground crying and wiping away tears.

"Are you alright, kid?"

The boy sat on the ground and ignored him and continued to cry. Li Li took a closer look, and there was no break on his body, so it should be fine.

"Then let the little brother continue to cry for a while, and let's go home and watch it when we come back after dinner?" Li Li proposed.

The boy glanced at Li Li with red eyes, and then cried even more fiercely.

Cherry squatted down and asked, "Little brother, don't cry, how can you stop crying?"

The boy howled, "I'm not going to play anymore!"

"Then, I'll accompany you to do your homework!"

"Woo woo woo ......"

"Then I can only accompany you to eat snacks, hey, brother, buy snacks. ”

Li Li was silent for a moment, "But the little brother didn't agree, it just didn't work!"

Cherry said conclusively, "It must work, you go quickly, brother, he won't cry for a while!"

Li Li: "???"

This is...... What logic? What does it mean that he won't cry for a while? The logic of foodies?

Li Li is going to doubt life, if it weren't for the little boy crying too painfully, Li Li really felt that these two little children were acting with him.

I bought two bags of shrimp crackers, hawthorn slices, and cherries in my arms, and after opening them, I ate them alone, regardless of whether the children were crying or not.

Because the child stopped crying, he looked at her with a blank eye, swallowed his saliva, and asked, "Didn't you buy it for me?"

The cherry mouth was stuffed, and he said indistinctly: "But you don't cry anymore, why do you still want to eat?"

Little boy: "......"

Li Li was on the phone, and when he heard this, he turned his head and said, "Cherry, you have to learn to share!"

"Oh!"

Cherry sighed, lowered down and began to pick up the food scraps that fell on the ground, and instructed the little boy, "Come, let's pick it up together, the teacher said that everyone is responsible for protecting the environment, let's share the labor." ”

Little Boy: "???"

"......" Li Li: "Sharing the fruits of labor, how did it become a sharing of labor with you?

Cherry said unashamedly: "Ah!"

Li Li picked up the bag of shrimp crackers on the bench, and was immediately shocked, a whole bag of shrimp crackers was eaten, he pointed to another bag of shrimp crackers, and said, "Cherry, tear this bag open and give it to the little brother to eat." ”

Cherry was quite generous this time, tore it open and handed it to the little boy, and then looked at the little boy's crunching mouth with straight eyes, and suddenly threw out a sentence: "Are you so greedy?"

Li Li sneered, the little girl was quite self-aware.

At this time, my mother and Huang Xiaomin came over with vegetables, and they were followed by a 30-year-old young woman.

The young woman hurriedly greeted: "Hello Mr. Li, I am at the door with your parents." ”

"Hello sister, your child just fell, but nothing happened. A pack of fries cured. ”

The young woman laughed and said, "This bear child!"

"Xiaomin, give the food to my mother, let's go back to Spring City now. ”

Li's mother said: "What's so urgent? It's not too late to leave after eating!"

"Let's eat it at the airport!"

Cherry hugged her brother's thigh, "Brother, what should I do if you leave!"

"It should be your snacks, right?" Mama Li ruthlessly debunked, "You are not allowed to eat a single piece in the future, regardless of whether your brother comes back or not!

The young woman also taught her children, "I didn't hear it, the professor said that eating snacks is not good for children, bring them to me!"

The little boy aggrievedly handed the shrimp crackers in his hand to his mother, and let his mother ask while eating the shrimp crackers: "Then Professor Zhao, why is it bad for children to eat snacks?"

The little boy licked his lips, mom is too much!

The young woman threw two more shrimp crackers into her mouth and said to her son, "You are not allowed to eat snacks in the future, you know?

Mother Li pondered for a moment and said, "If you can't eat this thing, you won't eat it!"

Young woman: "Listen to what Auntie said, if you can't eat it, you won't eat it!"

"Because it costs money!"

"Because of ......," the young woman was speechless.

Li's mother smiled: "I'm doing Russian research and translation, how do you know this, anyway, it's right not to eat!"

Cherry whispered to her brother, "Brother, is this considered a tyranny?"

Li Li suddenly looked at his sister with some admiration, the word violent Zheng is so known to children?

Think about what you knew when you were five or six years old?

……

At about 8 o'clock in the evening, Li Li landed in Spring City.

Li Li, an art group in Spring City, knows it very well, because there are few of them. Frankly speaking, Chuncheng is a place where art is withering, and there are only three or two professional drama troupes with certain qualifications.

Senyi Repertory Theatre is one of the three regular repertory troupes, this repertory troupe often performs classic dramas in the convention and exhibition center or a theater, and occasionally arranges its own works, and its own works are miserable, and they can't sell tickets at all, just listen to the name of the drama - "Welcome to the New Century!" and "Dedication and Love for Good Youth......

In order to keep a low profile, Li Li didn't drive a Rolls-Royce, and drove a BMW to the office of the Senyi Repertory Troupe, but when he walked to the door of the studio, he saw two pieces of paper pasted on it.

The first one is to tell visitors that there is no one in the studio due to the performance.

The second is a rental information: this studio is rented at a low price, with an area of 240 square meters and an annual rent of 80,000 yuan.

Huang Xiaomin was puzzled: "Is this going to move?"

"It's not moving, it's not going to work!"

Li Li and Huang Xiaomin turned around together, only to see the cleaning aunt and said, "They can't sell tickets, they can't sustain it, it seems that today is the last one, right?"

Li Li's heart was cold, and he asked, "This is a professional club." ”

"What's the use of being professional, last time there was a free ticket for "Thunderstorm", I went to see it, and there weren't many audiences at the scene, so I fell asleep while watching it. ”

Huang Xiaomin said: "That's not right, there are still friends who like literature and art to support it!"

"This kind of person is more lip service, there are boys leading girls to pretend to be profound, and some girls walk in with a book and feel that they are more literary and artistic, and they just read it again, how can there be so many people who really like art. There is an idiom called what, and what is attached?"

"Vassals are elegant!"

"Yes, the vassal is elegant!"

Huang Xiaomin said: "But people who really like art can get together and pick up the scenes of the drama!"

The aunt put down the mop and said: "You just take it for granted! How can there be so many people who really like literature and art, and there are a lot of people who pretend to be forced by literary and artistic models! How can there be people who like literature and art and are willing to spend hundreds of yuan to watch a drama?"

If there are so many people who like literature and art, can Peking Opera be eliminated? No one listens to cross talk? Lao Guo doesn't say it, when it was not popular a few years ago, there were only two or three audiences in the audience. Now it seems that other cross talk groups can't sell tickets, right?

No, I can't!"

"Auntie, you really understand!"

"Every day I clean here, I always listen to them grinding this little thing! ”

Li Li asked, "Then where are they performing tonight?"

"At the Spring City Grand Theater!"

……

The Spring City Grand Theater is very close to here, only 1 mile away.

Li Li came to the ticket window to buy a ticket, and then walked into the theater, he looked at it, and there was a banner hanging on the stage: Farewell performance of Senyi Drama Society.

This is a bit sad, but the actors on the stage are still very engaged, and the performances are extraordinarily serious.

"There are so few audiences!" Huang Xiaomin whispered.

The audience is indeed small, only more than 30 people.

Li Li has seen the ticket price, 100 yuan per person, and there are only more than 30 audiences even for the farewell performance, which is really unable to maintain the drama club.

The two sat down, and Huang Xiaomin asked quietly: "If this is full, and then the ticket price is set at 500 yuan a piece, won't it be crazy?"

"Now there is no such blockbuster troupe in Huaguo. ”

The repertoire on the stage is the classic drama "White Pear Flower" in this time and space, which was not in the previous life, and the story background of this drama is the story of a special period decades ago.

Some of the young viewers present couldn't understand the social form at that time, and the content of the story was incompatible with the current era, and it was too profound and heavy, causing some young viewers to keep looking at their mobile phones.

Among them, there is even an even more excessive couple lingering!

Li Li is about to cry, big brother and sister, this is not a movie theater...... Shall we respect the actors on stage?

"White Pear Flower" was quickly finished, and all the cast and crew came to the stage for a curtain call.

At this time, a girl in a red lady's suit about twenty-six or seventeen years old stood in the middle, and she said with red eyes: "Today is the last performance of our Senyi, and we have left everything we have on the stage without reservation and dedicated it to the audience."

……

In the past 10 years since the establishment of Senyi, we have worked together to create brilliance, but also fell to the bottom again and again, we have struggled tenaciously and never gave up, but this time, we really can't hold on. ”

Speaking of which, some of the cast and crew on stage were already quietly wiping away tears.

Offstage, all the audience looked at the stage quietly, without a sound, and even the couple who had been lingering before were sitting in danger at this time.

The girl in red choked up: "Farewell, don't say goodbye! We hope that one day, there will be a chance to get together again to perform on stage, I always believe that drama is immortal, I, well, thank you, all the cast and crew, bow to the audience!!"

Everyone on the stage bowed deeply to the audience, and the applause from the audience spread instantly.

The performance on stage was sincere, and the audience responded with equally sincere applause, although they didn't necessarily think the play was good.

The actors on the stage walked to the backstage in turn with their heads down, and the audience also got up.

At this time, an elderly audience member sighed: "Another yellow one!"

"Another yellow one?" Huang Xiaomin asked, "Uncle, is the drama so sluggish now?"

"Hey, civil society can't last long without government support, but their family is pretty good, and it's been 10 years. Unlike official theatre companies like the Giessen Repertory Theatre, people can't go hungry if they don't perform for a year. But civil society can't!"

Huang Xiaomin asked, "Is it so cruel?"

"I'm a drama fan, I can't figure it out, such a good drama, why don't people want to watch it now? What a thick and profound tragedy!"

A young audience member said: "996 is going to tire us into dogs, we are thick and tragic enough, we just want to relax when we are tired, besides, I can't understand the social background, what is a cloth ticket?"

……

Li Li shrugged his shoulders and said to Huang Xiaomin: "If the drama is not reformed and does not fit the current era, it has no prospects." ”

Huang Xiaomin was very incomprehensible: "But why don't they reform? Doesn't the drama itself have to reflect the current life?"

"First of all, there are few audiences for dramas, and new plays can't attract audiences, so they can only rely on classic plays, and then the creative momentum of new plays has decreased sharply, the quality cannot be guaranteed, and the old plays are getting more and more derailed, resulting in fewer and fewer audiences...... It's a vicious circle, and the market environment is getting worse and worse. ”

"So what's the solution?"

Li Li sighed: "I can only become popular in two or three drama clubs, and I can try it with a little noodles." It's hard!"

Originally, the drama market in the previous life was very sluggish, but I didn't expect it to be even more cruel in this life!

The figures of Li Li and Huang Xiaomin blended into the crowd that ended.

……

Background.

The actors took off their makeup, everyone reluctantly said goodbye, they could not go to work directly tomorrow, and they all had to start a new future.

Some are going abroad, some are going south to do business, and some are laughing about aspiring to marry into a wealthy family.

Everyone's smile is very uncomfortable, but they want to use this smile to erase the sorrow of parting.

Vice President Zhang Guoguo leaned against the door dejectedly, and the bright red lady's suit looked a little dull. I just received a text message from my brother, saying that my father turned the corner, which made her breathe a sigh of relief, but I don't know if my father would give my brother a slap in the face when he knew the news that he had disbanded the drama club!

Anyway, when I made mistakes when I was a child, my brother was always beaten.

Zhang Guoguo calmed down for a while, barely sketched the smile on her cheeks, she pushed the door and walked into the room, clapping her hands, "Let's get together! After so many years of ups and downs, thank you for sharing honor and disgrace, on the occasion of this parting, I will send you a little red envelope, I wish you all a smooth future!"

After that, she opened her bag and took out a stack of red envelopes, which she was about to distribute to everyone.

"Guoguo, we can't ask for this, the old president is unwell now and needs money, you can keep it. ”

"That's right, we've been in a relationship for so many years, and we'll see you outside when you give a red envelope!"

"I received it with my heart, and I can't accept the red envelope. ”

……

At this moment, the director hurriedly walked in and said, "Li Li seems to have come to see our drama." ”

Everyone was surprised:

"Who?"

"Who are you talking about?"

"Li Li, can our little temple still attract him?"

……

Director: "Didn't you notice that there was an audience member wearing masks and sunglasses tonight? I felt like Li Li at the time! I just went to the ticket office to check, and sure enough!!"

After everyone exclaimed, an actor said, "But so what?"

"It's not like that! I'm just surprised!" Li Liye!" the director laughed, "I almost became colleagues with Li Li, but when I was about to join, he resigned." I was not born, and I was old. ”

"Your analogy!" Zhang Guoguo smiled, "Come, everyone must receive this red envelope, if there is something in the studio, go and get it tomorrow morning, I wish you all a smooth future." ”

Li Li came to see the drama, but everyone didn't think much about it, and Zhang Guoguo didn't think anything about it.

The next morning, Zhang Guoguo opened the WeChat group and took a look, and someone had already rushed to the airport to prepare to go to the field.

She put away her sadness, ate breakfast and rushed to the studio. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw two men and two women standing at the door of the studio and looking inside.

One of the young men was wearing a mask and sunglasses, the same as last night's outfit.

Zhang Guoguo asked in surprise, "Teacher Li, do you want to rent a house?"

Li Li looked back and smiled and asked, "Can I rent someone?"
