In the last performance of "Picking Up the Jade Bracelet", everyone's state is obviously better than the previous two days.

Whether it is the two protagonists Gu Nanqiao and Li Moyu, or actors such as Liu Matchmaker and the members of the band, they all give full play to their housekeeping skills and fully devote themselves to the stage. At the end of the song, Gu Nanqiao and Li Moyu were almost forgetful, until the curtain slowly fell and the thunderous applause from the audience rang out, they invariably looked at each other, looked at each other and smiled.

Gu Nanqiao didn't know how she finished the curtain call, she looked at the dense audience under the dazzling and dazzling lights, and her ears echoed with long-lasting applause, and her eyes were filled with a thin layer of water.

For a moment, she suddenly thought of the small figure sitting in the audience many years ago, her small hands clenched the ticket stub, her big eyes looked straight at the famous corner on the stage, and her eyes were full of envy and obsession.

The dream of the year finally began to come true.

When it was time for the curtain call, Lin Lulu seized the right time and place, and was the first to jump on the stage to offer flowers. She hugged a large handful of flowers, her thin body was almost completely submerged in the sea of flowers, and she gave each of her colleagues on the stage a bouquet without favoritism, and then took a big group photo with a dead face before leaving.

Until she stepped off the stage, Gu Nanqiao's mood had not completely calmed down, and Lin Lulu chattered all the way, but when she sounded, the voice was like a layer of mist, and she didn't listen to it the whole time, and she didn't think too much.

"Xiao Gu, I'm singing really well today. ”

When he arrived backstage, Li Moyu did not rush to remove his makeup, but walked to Gu Nanqiao's side, "In the play just now, I sang a little bit of everyone's style, keep up the good work." ”

It was too rare to hear such a direct praise from Li Moyu's mouth, Gu Nanqiao was stunned for a moment, and quickly bent his eyes and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Li, thanks to you to support the stage, this performance can go so smoothly." ”

"Thank me," Li Moyu waved his hand, hooking his eyebrows with oil paint, "The success of "Picking Up the Jade Bracelet" this time is your credit, you don't have to let others let it go, you brought Sun Yujiao to life, and the audience bought it." ”

Lin Lulu stood aside and nodded wildly: "Yes, Qiaoqiao, you didn't sit in the audience, I don't know how enthusiastic the audience is, tsk....... The applause, the applause, I was excited. ”

was praised by Lin Lulu for dancing so much, Rao is Gu Nanqiao's good psychological quality, and he was stunned. She looked at Li Moyu a little embarrassed, but saw that Teacher Li, who had always been serious, also had an obvious smile on the corner of her lips, and she looked in a good mood.

"However, this play is just the beginning, there is still a long way to go, and you have to guard against arrogance and rashness. After a few seconds, Li Moyu cleared his throat and said, "Xiao Gu, in half a month, the troupe will start the screening of the repertoire for the New Year's performance season, this time you sing very well and have accumulated audience popularity, you can fight for it." ”

"New Year's performance season......." Gu Nanqiao asked subconsciously, obviously a little surprised by Li Moyu's words.

Whether it is the drama or opera industry, in fact, each major theater troupe has its own fixed performance season, and the repertoire is rehearsed and performed within a specific time, which is also one of the key tasks of the theater troupe every year. Because the performance time of each theater troupe is different, and the theater ticket price is relatively high, for commercial reasons, the performance seasons of the major theater troupes are mostly staggered. In this way, after the ticket is opened, the audience will not be worried about which show to watch, and there are often dramas to watch all year round.

And as the name suggests, the New Year's season is the repertoire of performances performed in the New Year.

Just as the New Year's Eve file in the film industry is a battleground for soldiers in the film and television industry, the New Year's performance season in the theater industry is also a place for major theater troupes to compete. No theater troupe will miss the New Year, the peak period for audiences to watch operas, not to mention the attention of various media and Peking Opera troupes - it can be said that the New Year's performance season is a good opportunity for all famous artists to show their skills and new Hua Dan Xiaosheng to become famous in one fell swoop.

Regardless of the size of the troupe, they will carefully prepare the repertoire for the New Year's season, firstly for the sake of attendance, and secondly, to show how high the troupe has performed in the past year, and to strive for the opportunity to reshuffle the cards in the Peking Opera Troupe.

The actors who are eligible to participate in the New Year's performance season are all the pillars of the major theater troupes, and they are absolutely famous. Especially the actors who sing the New Year's Eve show represent the layout and level of this theater troupe, not to mention the profit-oriented things such as exposure and attendance, this glory alone is what every actor is looking forward to.

Of course, Gu Nanqiao knew this, so he felt that he was not qualified enough.

"Mr. Li, our troupe looks at the new year's performance season, I have only been in the troupe for a year...... No chance, right?"

"Why don't you have a chance, what's wrong with you Gu Nanqiao?" Li Moyu lifted his robe and sat down on the chair upright, even if he got off the stage and spoke, he had a faint playfulness with a straight tone, "The results of this "Picking Up the Jade Bracelet" are here, do the newcomers in our group have such strength and level? Head Xia's eyes lit up, since you are a material, there is no need to be dusty for so many years, good actors with talent and hard work can be met but not sought, which theater troupe will not cherish it." ”

Li Moyu's silent words reached Gu Nanqiao's heart, this cold-faced senior seemed to be the most difficult to get along with, but in fact, he was the most cherished. In his eyes, he only has the practice of family kung fu and real skills, and adheres to the principle of speaking by personal strength, and looks down on the rigid rules of the theater troupe, but cares a lot about respecting the teacher.

Because of this, Li Moyu doesn't mind that Gu Nanqiao is a little-known newcomer, and is willing to take the initiative to sing with her partner, regardless of the conventions in the troupe, come first and come first, take care of her everywhere.

Thinking like this, Gu Nanqiao's heart warmed, and he chuckled: "Then borrow Teacher Li's auspicious words, I will definitely prepare well and not let you down." ”

"That's right!" Li Moyu saw that Gu Nanqiao responded generously, raised his eyebrows and laughed heartily, "Don't be idle these days, take the time to think about whether there is any better repertoire that is suitable for our New Year's performance season, the big guy can love it, and you can sing brilliantly...... Hand in the performance plan first and show it to me. ”

"Okay, I'll study it when I go back," Gu Nanqiao nodded, "Prepare a few more performance plans, submit a written material for you to see, and then you will make a decision." ”

"Well, we still have to be a little more innovative, after all, it's the New Year's performance season, and it's the end of the year, so let the audience watch something new. Li Moyu thought for a while, and then continued, "You don't have to worry about the rest, just rehearse and prepare first, as for Captain Xia, it's a big deal that I'll mention it for you." ”

As soon as Gu Nanqiao heard this, he didn't want to owe Li Moyu any more favors, so he refused at the moment: "I still don't bother you, Mr. Li, I'll hand in the performance report, and the rest will go according to the process, as for whether you can be selected, it depends on the attitude of Head Xia." ”

"Do you really need me to talk about it for you?" When asking this sentence, Li Moyu's eyes were fixed on Gu Nanqiao's face, as if he wanted to distinguish whether her words were fake and polite, or if she really thought like this.

"I really don't need you to recommend it to me, Mr. Li. ”

Gu Nanqiao was very calm, and his big transparent eyes looked back at Li Moyu without flickering, "I am very grateful to you for having the opportunity to sing "Picking Up the Jade Bracelet" this time, and if I continue to trouble you, I will not be happy to go." As for the New Year's performance season, everyone strives for performance qualifications based on their strength, so it's fair. ”

Li Moyu nodded, didn't say anything more, and the smile and appreciation in his eyes became stronger.

Although what he said just now was also sincere, if Gu Nanqiao directly agreed to it, Li Moyu would have to weigh more whether this new little flower girl was not right, and he was too eager for quick success.

And Gu Nanqiao did not have a trace of hesitation or greed, and refused very simply, in such a situation, she could still keep her heart, which inevitably made Li Moyu take a look at it, and felt that she was not wrong.

"Xiao Gu, you should prepare well," Li Moyu stood up and patted Gu Nanqiao on the shoulder, "The opportunity is yours, you can't run away, you just remember not to fight unprepared battles - yes, then you take off your costume and chat with Xiao Lin, I won't bother the two of you." ”

"Okay, Mr. Li walks slowly. Gu Nanqiao responded.

It wasn't until Li Moyu's figure completely disappeared into the dressing room that Lin Lulu stuck out her tongue and let out a breath: "Qiaoqiao, I really admire you, you can still talk and laugh in front of Teacher Li, and you can deal with it so easily...... Really, every time he looked at me, I suspected scolding me. ”

"Teacher Li is a little more rigorous, hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, but in fact, he is not so difficult to get along with. Gu Nanqiao was amused by Lin Lulu's aggrieved expression, and said casually, "However, it's true that I have a bad temper, and I don't get scolded by him less." ”

"I don't know if he scolds you or not, it's really good for you, but, Qiao Qiao ......." Lin Lulu paused and muttered in a low voice, "Are you stupid, Teacher Li said that he recommended it for you, but you still refused, what do you think!? If it weren't for Li Moyu's face, I didn't dare to give you a look, I really had the heart to remind you....... It's the New Year's performance season, even if you go up to play soy sauce, you can also go out and brag, okay, what do you think? ”

"Li Moyu and I are not related, why has he always helped me, don't owe anything to people, this is the most difficult to repay. Gu Nanqiao said it as a matter of course, "And ah, it is precisely because of the rare opportunity of the New Year's performance season that I have to fight for it even more with my ability, otherwise even if others don't say anything, I will be ashamed of myself." ”

"Tsk, if you think so, others may not think so. Lin Lulu pursed the corners of her mouth, "These newcomers in our group, whenever they have a chance, they are all eight immortals who cross the sea to show their magical powers, rush up with their heads, and climb up without stepping on the top of others' heads, they are considered benevolent and righteous, and a few of them are based on real skills." ”

"I don't care what other people do," Gu Nanqiao shrugged his shoulders and said lightly, "Anyway, I can't do that." ”

"Hey...... I'm really afraid that you will suffer, don't say it far away, Guo Xiaodong has been seeing that you don't deal with it, and trying to squeeze you, this time "Picking Up the Jade Bracelet" is so successful, if she can't keep her eyes on you, what kind of moth will she make. ”

"Lulu, let's not be so disappointed," Gu Nanqiao said hatefully, "You can't think of something good?"

"Prevention is better than prevention," Lin Lulu sighed, and suddenly asked as if she remembered something, "Hey, yes, what about your twenty-four filial boyfriend, why didn't you see him come to give you flowers when your performance ended today?"

"Shen You has been very busy recently, and his company has taken on new performance projects," Gu Nanqiao said casually, "It is said that it is a cooperation with a large company, and it is quite troublesome to run the process, and I have been working overtime to hold meetings everywhere." ”

"Qiaoqiao, I'll tell you how much you have to be careful," Lin Lulu rolled her eyes and said half-jokingly, "Emotional crises all start when you suddenly become very busy, and if you cheat nine times out of ten, you have to jail your man." ”

"Lin Lulu, you crow's mouth, there's still no end, that's enough. Gu Nanqiao rolled his eyes at Lin Lulu mercilessly, and said angrily, "After cursing my career, you will start cursing my feelings, believe it or not, I will beat you." ”

"Hey, don't don't ......" Lin Lulu hurriedly raised her hand to surrender, "I won't say it, okay?"

Just when Gu Nanqiao and Lin Lulu were laughing and playing, neither of them paid attention, and there was actually a person sitting in the corner of the dressing room, who was Zhuang Lin, a member of the band in the group.

He listened to all the conversations in the dressing room, and his face gradually sank.
