Chapter 183: Growing Step by Step
This sentence can't continue to be obedient, Gu Nanqiao said it very lightly. It was clearly just a few simple words, but it was like a thousand-pound boulder suddenly falling down, which couldn't help but make Xiao Fangran a little dazed.
The things that I have talked about tonight are obviously strange and heavy.
The current development of events was completely unexpected by Xiao Fangran, before this late-night meeting, she once thought that this was just an ordinary meeting - she would tell her about the "Old Dream Project", and get Gu Nanqiao's personal acceptance, all of this could come to an end, and they each had a good night's sleep.
As for more things, Xiao Fangran hadn't thought about it.
Probably being chased all the way to grow up, Xiao Fangran didn't know how to compare her heart to her heart, she had never communicated with her daughter about the so-called "growth confusion" before, nor did she imagine the child's inner thoughts. Even Ms. Xiao took it for granted that except for her own sudden departure, she had not done anything unqualified, and all her mistakes had been remedied. After coming back seven years ago, she has given Gu Nanqiao the best things, and the missing feelings have already been made up.
Ms. Xiao is bent on making her daughter stand out and achieve achievements that others can't reach. And the troupe of Spring and Color Manyuan is obviously a very good exercise opportunity for Gu Nanqiao, which can bring her infinite possibilities.
Although it is no less whimsical to want to support an independent troupe on his own, in terms of career, Xiao Fangran has always dared to think and do, and he is quite strong. Not to mention that in the operation of an independent performance group, her avant-garde ideas come into play.
As a mother, Xiao Fangran did not hesitate to give all her achievements to Gu Nanqiao.
After all, if Chun Se Manyuan can really make achievements, it will be beneficial to Gu Nanqiao, and he can even accumulate a unique name. For this reason, she has no problem with the Spring Garden, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she has put all her energy into the development of the repertoire.
In this respect, Xiao Fangran is quite selfless.
Xiao Fangran took out all her energy to help Gu Nanqiao get started, and she personally inquired about the big and small affairs of the troupe, and then implemented them through Gu Nanqiao. In Xiao Fangran's view, these efforts are normal, and even deserved. Just like her overly strict discipline of Gu Nanqiao, she never wanted to kidnap something morally through dedication, nor did she think that her sharpness and strength would hurt her daughter.
It's like Xiao Fangran has never delved into whether the effort behind her back will be perceived, and whether Gu Nanqiao will accept her affection.
In the final analysis, she just hoped that Gu Nanqiao would have a good life.
Probably because she was too surprised, at this time, Gu Nanqiao suddenly expressed what she thought in her heart, and expressed all the many negative emotions that she couldn't bear, Xiao Fangran suddenly felt panicked, she never thought that the child would be so resistant to all this.
In the long silence, a thousand words were choked in the throat and there was no way to vent, Xiao Fangran's moving peach blossom eyes flashed with confusion that could not be hidden, her lips touched up and down, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence from between her lips and teeth.
"Jojo, I'm a little bit stronger sometimes, but I always want you well...... Mom did something wrong, and she really shouldn't have left you when she was a child, but ...... I couldn't help it. You can touch your conscience and say that I can get to this point, isn't it all me who helped you pave the way, how can you talk to your mother like this?"
Gu Nanqiao looked at Xiao Fangran quietly, his gaze swept over her delicate face, and also swept over her confusion and panic. Then she stood up, sat down beside Xiao Fangran, and held her palm as if soothingly.
Xiao Fangran's hands were a little cold, as if they were stained with a little night. When the elegance and strength that were invisibly revealed faded, she was just an ordinary mother, Gu Nanqiao's palm was a little warm, and she spoke softly with indescribable tenderness and patience.
"Mom, of course I know you're for my good, so I've never blamed you. Are you complaining to you when I say this now—no, I just want to tell you what exactly I want. ..... Mom, behind the excessive individualism, it is a kind of bondage in itself, you have always wanted to get out of the shadow left by the Mei family, live the way you want, and have worked hard for this goal for most of your life, you should be able to best understand how uncomfortable it is to have no self. ”
Gu Nanqiao's tone was quite peaceful, but those clear and moving eyes were unexpectedly firm.
"But have you ever thought that your too much interference with me is just to make me live the way you want to be, without respecting what I really need. I already have my own ideas and my own paths, and that's not a bad thing. ”
"I'm not trying to discipline you, I just want you to take fewer detours. Xiao Fangran frowned slightly, her lips wearing beautiful red lipstick trembled slightly, as if she remembered something she felt, and even the emotions in her eyes became stunned.
"You are still young, and you don't have your own judgment on many things, especially when it comes to Peking Opera performances, and it never hurts to listen to the experience of your predecessors. The golden age of Peking Opera actors is too short, it is too late to waste, whether it is success or singing achievements, you must cherish the years of these years, you wait until my age...... I am afraid that you will regret it. ”
Gu Nanqiao lowered her eyes and chuckled, her voice was not hurried, and even a little soft.
"I've thought about all of this, and I know you're doing it for my good. But what's wrong with making mistakes? The good and the bad are all in life, and you have to experience them yourself, don't you? What's more, since a few years ago, I have added a lot of personal thoughts to the performance of the Spring Garden, and the performance effect has proved that I am right. Especially in the past year, I have completely taken over this troupe, and my achievements now are enough to explain it all - Mom, can't you be completely reassured?"
Speaking of this, Gu Nanqiao's tone paused slightly, she looked straight at Xiao Fangran, and said quite sincerely.
"Mom, why can't you trust me once, I can do better?"
Maybe Gu Nanqiao said it too firmly, or maybe the stimulation brought by her words just now was too strong, Ms. Xiao, who is usually proud and self-controlled, rarely let go of her subjective judgment and looked back on these years along her daughter's train of thought. Then, those things that Xiao Fangran was too lazy to study in depth also became clear.
Since Gu Nanqiao's freshman year in high school, Xiao Fangran came back to find her, and Chun Se Manyuan gradually opened up with the help of this Peking Opera genius. A lot of things have happened over the years, but Xiao Fangran has never shown up, and the big guys in the spring garden don't know that the pillars that amazed and admired them back then actually participated in this way.
Now that I think about it, it can be regarded as a coincidence that this troupe can come to this day.
If it hadn't been for Fan Lao's determination to resolutely start a business with his life savings at the beginning, and without his tenacity to grit his teeth and persist even in the face of years of losses, there would have been no initial site and material foundation, and all this would have come to naught. If it weren't for the help of the first batch of creators and the old troupe Iron Triangle, there would be no exquisite skills that can pull the performance level of the grass stage team above the passing line. If the performance level of Spring Manyuan never goes up, even the pitiful fans can't keep it, and maybe this troupe will have broken up a long time ago.
In addition, Xiao Fangran's silent support behind the scenes is also indispensable.
In the most difficult six years of the development of Spring Color Manyuan, Xiao Fangran has worked hard behind the scenes, especially in the initial performance direction and repertoire characteristics, which can especially reflect Ms. Xiao's unique vision. If Gu Nanqiao's initial Peking Opera enlightenment relied on Xiao Fangran's devil training to lay the foundation, then many of her ideas for Peking Opera reform and what she is practicing now all originated from her mother.
Because it is inconvenient to come forward directly, all the help that Xiao Fangran gave to the troupe was reflected through Gu Nanqiao. She has completely brought over the experience of participating in the development of repertoire in Mei's house over the years, from the ideas she practiced in the performances of the Jingyao Opera Troupe back then, to her unique insights on Peking Opera performances, all of which have been contributed to the Spring Garden.
And the value in it is beyond the reach of others.
At first, Fan Lingchu was skeptical of his little apprentice's words, and refused to adopt those performances that seemed obviously unconventional at the time, and the usual performances were carried out in the traditional way of Peking Opera performances. Gu Nanqiao said a lot, he just chuckled kindly, raised his hand to rub the tips of the little apprentice's hair, and relieved himself with a good temper.
"Nan Qiao, your ideas are good, when you grow up, you can sing on stage in person, and Master will accompany you to toss. Master believes that you will be able to make the climate when the time comes. ”
Gu Nanqiao didn't force this, she didn't care if Fan Lingchu was in her heart or not, she would always change the script a few days before the performance and hand it to her master, as for Fan Lingchu It didn't matter if she finally adopted it, she just hoped that those ideas could subtly affect Fan Lingchu and make him willing to start trying new ways of performing.
Later, it was Gu Nanqiao who went to college and began to perform on stage in the Spring Garden.
Finally got the real opportunity to perform, Gu Nanqiao couldn't hold back anymore, and began to make a gesture. Although the repertoire of Spring Color Manyuan is still a fairly common classic repertoire, after the finishing touch, it is like a rebirth, bringing a completely different freshness than before.
Such a situation is not surprising. After all, those adapted singing segments were all seen by Xiao Fangran himself, and the level was naturally quite guaranteed, coupled with Gu Nanqiao's aura interpretation, it was almost logical to present the best effect, and it won a full house as soon as it appeared.
Now tracing back along the tortuous memory, this is how Gu Nanqiao grew up step by step.
