Chapter 57: Uncle Zheng
Being teased by Su Yiyang like this, Gu Nanqiao's old face turned red and he completely chose to strike.
Then she didn't care whether Su Dashao was full or not, and judged with subjective consciousness that his current posture obviously seemed to be full, and she was stunned and didn't want to feed it anymore, but left a sentence angrily.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, drive well, if you ink again, it's too late, catch up with Uncle Zheng to start class, and you'll be waiting for you." β
"Okay," Su Yiyang said as he should, "I'll listen to you." β
Gu Nanqiao snorted coldly, and didn't continue to answer his words at all.
Fortunately, Su Dashao was well versed in the truth of accepting it when he saw it, and after a few words of teasing, he didn't continue to spread his virtues, and finally left enough space for Gu Nanqiao to digest this chaotic morning alone.
After that, Su Yiyang and Gu Nanqiao didn't have much of anybody, and drove silently all the way to the school where Zheng Yandu worked.
After the dissolution of the old troupe, the members of the year began to seek their own careers, some like Fan Lingchu, who was bent on making Peking Opera out of their own pockets, and those like Li Hetian who directly changed careers to make a living in a small business, and of course, there were also Zheng Yandu, who turned their former skills into a means of making a living.
Zheng Yandu sang in the old troupe back then, with a good voice and solid basic skills, coupled with the appearance of a gentleman, he didn't know how many girl fans he was. Although Chu Youyou will also sing Xiaosheng in regurgitation and open up more repertoire for the Spring Garden, she only knows some skins, which can only be said to be futile, and Zheng Yandu are completely different concepts.
After leaving the stage, Zheng Yandu no longer insisted on performing, but was specially hired by the educational institution of the Children's Palace to teach the Peking Opera class. His students are down to the children who began to lay the foundation at the age of six or seven, to the grandparents who loved Peking Opera when they were young but had no chance, and who simply enrolled in a class to learn after retirement.
In the end, there was too much traffic jam on this road, and when Gu Nanqiao and Su Yiyang arrived, they had already started class, and the two of them had nothing to do, so they had to stand outside the window and wait.
The long corridors of the Children's Palace are paved with dark gray marble, and although they are far from ornate, they are inexplicably bookish. The sunlight entered through the window, leaving mottled light and shadow on the ground, Gu Nanqiao's side face reflected the sunlight, her hair was slightly raised by the wind, Su Yiyang tilted her head to look at her, as if she smelled the faint fragrance left when the ends of her hair were brushed.
"Let you talk to the old man in the morning," Gu Nanqiao felt that the people around her were looking at her, turned her head and rolled her eyes mercilessly, "This class is an hour and a half, you have to wait." β
"Who did Xiao Nanqiao learn from that skill, how can he sing better than you," Su Yiyang chuckled lightly and retracted his gaze generously, "It's as if you were deliberately grinding in the morning, and the person who wants to eavesdrop on others is not you." β
"Stop, don't praise me, I can't afford it. Gu Nanqiao raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Just at Su Dashao's upside-down black and white mouth, no matter how big my ability is, I can't say anything about you." β
"It's rare for you to praise me once, then I'll bear it," Su Yiyang's smiling eyes were as bright as stars, and he didn't hide the pure affection inside, and smiled casually, "I can't say a few beautiful words, how can I make you happy." β
Gu Nanqiao smiled, and couldn't help Su Yiyang's witticisms.
"If you say a few words, I'll be happier than anything else. β
Then, Gu Nanqiao raised his chin and pointed in the direction of the elevator, "Okay, don't stick here, there is a lounge on the first floor, let's go sit down." β
An hour and a half, whether it is long or not, whether it is short or not, if you get along with boring people, you will feel like sitting on pins and needles, but with Su Yiyang around you, a player who can take on any conversation, it is particularly relaxed and lively, and it is still unfinished.
In addition to the previous business meetings, this was the first time Gu Nanqiao and Su Yiyang were alone, and it also made her finally understand what Su Dashao was like in private, and also felt his many ideas for finding another way.
In all fairness, Su Yiyang is a pretty good chat partner, once he reins in the mouth that scares the dead, his gestures are elegant and decent, and the arrogance and confidence that naturally flow between his words exudes indescribable charm.
And Gu Nanqiao's biggest change in Su Yiyang is the amazing tacit understanding between the two.
ββIt's not just about Peking Opera, it's about the idea of a small theater performance.
These are just appearances, what really surprised Gu Nanqiao was that she and Su Yiyang almost sympathized with each other's pursuit of life, neither of them minded becoming martyrs, nor were they afraid of the bamboo basket being empty. Although the way of expression is different, Gu Nanqiao is more restrained, and Su Yiyang is more arrogant, but behind it is a piece of sincerity that leads to the same end.
At this point, Gu Nanqiao finally understood what Zhong Ziyi meant by "she is very similar to Su Yiyang" mentioned many times, and since the first meeting, she has inexplicably felt novel and close to Su Yiyang, and it is not for nothing.
It was a fit from the depths of the soul.
So chatting and chatting, those words that he rarely talked about after getting along with Shen You for many years, Gu Nanqiao barely thought too much about it at the moment, and said it very naturally.
"Actually, I've always felt that Peking Opera performances ...... It should be said that small theater performances and private theater classes are more accurate, and this has a lot of room for development. Its biggest advantage is that many people feel unprofitable and are unwilling to open up the market, so they have left this pure land in the hearts of art lovers, and has not been infected by absolute commercialization. β
Why did he say this to Su Yiyang, even Gu Nanqiao himself didn't know.
Because it was so natural, she was a little surprised even after she spoke. And then those things that have been hidden deep for a long time and have hardly been revealed to others are said bit by bit.
"If someone really loves the art and is willing to exploit the market, not just for profit, but to find a balance between business and art, to express traditional art in a way that is more accessible to young people β it could be theatrical reform, or it could be something else..... I can't think of what way it is.
Gu Nanqiao casually combed the hair that fell from his ears, turned his head sideways to look at Su Yiyang, and suddenly smiled. The corners of her lips were slightly raised, a small pair of pear vortices appeared on her cheeks, and her delicate face was extremely agile because of this smile, revealing an indescribable softness and touching.
The sun shone in through the glass window, with a warm yellow halo, reflecting the light on her.
"However, there will always be a suitable way to achieve a win-win situation in the end...... It sounds difficult, right, but I really thought about it, so I left the Peking Opera Troupe in Province B, and I didn't want to give up the spring garden, and I always wanted to try again. β
Different from Shen You's sneer and sarcasm, Su Yiyang always listened quietly, without showing any impatience, or thoughts such as "you are a pure idiot dreaming", he bent a pair of smiling eyes slightly, the sun shone on Gu Nanqiao's body, and it was also reflected in the bottom of his eyes, making the emotion of appreciation extremely real.
Su Yiyang's thoughts in his heart turned back and forth, and for a moment, he wanted to ask something by the throbbing at this moment.
But after all, he felt that the heat was not enough, and he pressed it again.
"So, let's get down to business," Gu Nanqiao quickly put her talk away, she held her chin in one hand, and asked, "Su Yiyang, what do you think needs to be adjusted in the reform of Peking Opera?"
Su Dashao chuckled, didn't answer Gu Nanqiao anything, but stood up slowly, walked straight to the small shop opposite, bought two Cokes, and handed one of them to Gu Nanqiao.
"Stop, it's time to go to your Uncle Zheng, Xiao Nanqiao," Su Yiyang pointed to the dial on his wrist and looked at her with raised eyebrows, "As for these things you said, you can talk about them slowly in the future, and it won't be too late." β
The Coke had just been taken out of the freezer, and it was a little cold when held in the palm of the hand, and the fine droplets of water melted away with the temperature of the palm, slowly flowing down the texture of the skin, passing inch by inch from the fingertips, and dripping onto the ground.
Gu Nanqiao felt that Su Yiyang had something to say.
is different from the ** that Su Dashao's words have been revealed intentionally or unintentionally recently, and he doesn't just want to say something touching and not offensive to brush up his good feelings...... Some of Su Yiyang's emotions have undergone subtle changes. Although Gu Nanqiao didn't know the cause of such a change, he could vaguely feel that he was very light at the moment, revealing those emotions that could be called cautious.
"Don't worry, we still have a lot of time in the future. β
******
After Gu Nanqiao and Su Yiyang went upstairs, Zheng Yandu was already waiting in the office.
After the shareholders' meeting in the spring garden was dispersed yesterday, Gu Nanqiao immediately called Zheng Yandu and said that he would come to visit him the next morning. Seeing Gu Nanqiao at this time, Zheng Yandu was not too surprised, and quickly beckoned her in.
"Qiaoqiao is here, sit down, are you in a hurry?" Zheng Yandu wore a white shirt and a black and gray woolen coat, looking low-key and elegant, very much like an old artist, full of spirit.
"Don't worry, I just took a turn in the Children's Palace, and revisited the old place. Gu Nanqiao chuckled, walked over with Su Yiyang one after the other, and sat opposite Zheng Yandu, "If I hadn't come to see Uncle Zheng, I wouldn't have come to the Children's Palace for a long time." β
Zheng Yandu leaned back in his chair and looked at the young man opposite.
"Jojo, who is this?"
"Hello, Mr. Zheng," in front of the elders, Su Yiyang brought the etiquette and elegance of the rich son to the extreme, he bowed his head slightly, and said very decently, "I am the new shareholder of the Spring Garden, Su Yiyang." β
"Oh, Mr. Su, hello. β
Zheng Yandu and Fan Lingchu are a few years of the same age, but they obviously look younger, there is no worry about independent entrepreneurship, the years have hardly left too many traces on him, he has not seen much old in recent years, except for the sideburns a little white, the overall temperament is still biased towards the upright and chic in the early years, and there is a sense of gentlemanly and square.
"Uncle Zheng, have you been busy here in the Children's Palace recently," Gu Nanqiao took a sip of the teacup and asked, "I came early just now, and there aren't too many children in class?"
I want to talk with more like-minded people about "Xu You Spring Garden", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chats about life, and looks for confidants~
