Chapter 36 Reasonable Explanation
Seeing Gu Nanqiao, the main master, enter the door, Guo Xiaodong finally stopped talking for a short time, she tilted her head to look at Gu Nanqiao, she looked like she was ready to watch a good show, and she did not hide the mocking smile in her eyes.
Xia Liyan waved his hand and motioned for Gu Nanqiao to come over: "Xiao Gu is late today?"
Gu Nanqiao stood opposite the desk and replied casually: "The alarm I set in the morning didn't go off, and I accidentally overslept." ”
"Yes, the alarm didn't go off...... Xia Liyan deliberately lowered his voice, and glanced at Gu Nanqiao meaninglessly, "Last night, was Xiao Gu busy?"
At this moment, there was something in Xia Liyan's words, how could Gu Nanqiao not hear it.
It's just one thing to be able to hear it, and it's another thing to answer it.
Gu Nanqiao silently weighed the words she heard at the door in her heart, although Guo Xiaodong's words flickered indistinctly, she could still feel that the meaning in those subtexts was nothing more than talking about investment in the spring garden yesterday.
But she really couldn't figure out why Guo Xiaodong felt the door clearly every time he was full of big and small things in the spring garden, and what did she mean by the sentence "The spring garden was exposed"?
Adhering to the attitude of responding to all changes with the same, Gu Nanqiao didn't explain too much, but just responded lightly: "There was something at home yesterday, I slept late, I'm sorry, Head Xia." ”
"Oh..... What is going on at home?" Xia Liyan replied lightly.
Then she pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, her sharp gaze was refracted through the lenses, and after staying on Gu Nanqiao's face for a few seconds, she finally turned into a chuckle of unknown meaning.
"Xiao Gu, did you see the list of performances sent to the group by the troupe yesterday?"
"See," Gu Nanqiao nodded, and made up the second half of Xia Liyan's unspoken sentence very knowingly, "There is also a new notice from the planning department this morning, I also saw it." ”
"Well, what do you think?" asked Xia Liyan.
"I don't have any opinion, Captain Xia. Gu Nanqiao chuckled lightly, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "If the troupe hands over "The Phoenix Returns to the Nest" to me to sing, I will definitely not disappoint everyone, if I don't plan to let this play participate in the New Year's performance season, I can accept it and absolutely obey the leader's arrangement." ”
Guo Xiaodong originally stood quietly on the side, a little bit wanting to see Gu Nanqiao's gaffe, and plead with Head Xia for the opportunity to perform - Gu Nanqiao was very popular because of the recent limelight, or jealousy or envy, and the rumors and rumors in it have not stopped, especially as soon as the performance list came out yesterday, it directly pushed her to the forefront.
If Gu Nanqiao could successfully finish singing this "Phoenix Returns to the Nest", it would be fine, but there was a turmoil in the change of the performance list, it can be said that the current huge Peking Opera Troupe of Province B is not a big deal to watch people, waiting to see the jokes of "new famous actors".
After all, there are so many pairs of eyes from colleagues, and the right and wrong are the most difficult to provoke.
Even Guo Xiaodong, the initiator, felt that Gu Nanqiao's situation was very embarrassing after comparing her heart to heart, if she felt flustered and uneasy, it would be normal to directly mess up. But Gu Nanqiao handled it calmly, without the slightest anxiety and crampedness, as if these things had no effect on her at all, and she didn't care about it at all.
I don't know whether to say that Gu Nanqiao's mentality is too good, or whether to say that she is too pretentious.
Guo Xiaodong casually combed the long hair that fell down her shoulders, although she knew that now was not a good time to speak, she still couldn't help but sour: "Heh, some people say it so well, is it because they don't look down on the opportunity given by the Peking Opera Troupe in Province B, and they are focused on other things." ”
In this regard, Gu Nanqiao curled the corners of his lips and chuckled, too lazy to respond to anything.
Xia Liyan frowned slightly quietly, Guo Xiaodong's personal emotions were too obvious to sow discord, which was the most disgusting thing as a leader.
When Guo Xiaodong said this, no matter whether she could achieve the goal of bad Gu Nanqiao or not, she would hurt people by a thousand and damage herself by eight hundred, which seemed that she was scheming and not emotionally intelligent, and she invisibly destroyed her image in the eyes of the leaders.
This is also the reason why Guo Xiaodong has been singing in the Peking Opera Troupe for so many years, but he has never sung out.
In the complex personnel environment of the state-owned academy group, if you want to become famous in one fell swoop and fight for a way out that can be called a brilliant one, it is no less than one in a million. After all, outstanding Peking Opera performers change every year, and the descendants of professional opera schools and famous teachers are constantly sending talents to major theater troupes, but the opportunities to become famous actors are extremely limited.
In such a situation, if you want to reach a height that others can't beat, it is important to have outstanding personal ability, but this is only the most basic threshold, the actor's conduct and behavior, aura understanding... These icing on the cake are also indispensable.
And in this regard, Gu Nanqiao is obviously much better than Guo Xiaodong, a senior.
As the leader of the troupe, Xia Liyan has always had a strong ability to recognize people, and she has to admit that even in the current situation, she is still partial to Gu Nanqiao. After all, in the current situation, which can be said to be completely unfavorable to Gu Nanqiao, she can still be so calm and decent, and she does have a bit of the temperament that a person who has achieved great things should have.
But no matter how much you appreciate it, Gu Nanqiao's actions have already violated Xia Liyan's bottom line, so it doesn't matter if you don't tolerate it.
Thinking like this, Xia Liyan's face sank a little more, and he said lightly: "Do you know why the troupe announced the list of performances and temporarily withdrew it?"
This question is really a bit sharp, even if Gu Nanqiao doesn't understand the situation, he won't feel that there is no insider in it, it's really as simple as what the planning department said is for the sake of performance time, not to mention that Guo Xiaodong has already given a metaphor between the lines.
"Head Xia, in fact, there are some things I have always wanted to explain to you before, but I haven't found a suitable opportunity. ”
Gu Nanqiao thought for a while, and took the initiative to confess very simply, "Spring is full of my master's troupe, something happened to my master's family recently, and the troupe is not manpowered, so I will help take care of it." Last month, it was rumored that I was taking private work outside, but I performed on stage for Master once, and it was just to save the scene, and there was no financial dealings, let alone affecting my own work, please rest assured. ”
Xia Liyan's gaze stayed on Gu Nanqiao's face, as if he was distinguishing the truth from the false.
In fact, the entanglement between Spring Manyuan and Gu Nanqiao is not the first time Xia Liyan has heard of it, and it is not at this moment that he has begun to have opinions. When the performance list of "Picking Up the Jade Bracelet" was just announced, Guo Xiaodong came to Xia Liyan once, and at that time, it was just in time for Gu Nanqiao to ask for leave one after another, delaying the rehearsal progress of the troupe.
The repertoire of the troupe is such an important event.
Gu Nanqiao, as the female number one, has been releasing pigeons in the troupe, so does this Peking Opera still have to be performed?
So when Guo Xiaodong took out the photo of Gu Nanqiao on stage outside, and pricked her with a small needle openly and secretly, Xia Liyan was so angry that he was furious, and then after those insinuations and slander, he couldn't wait to change people on the spot.
But after calming down a little, Xia Liyan quickly dispelled such thoughts. There is no other reason - if Gu Nanqiao is not allowed to sing Sun Yujiao, who should take the stage, is it really necessary to let Guo Xiaodong be on top?
Not to mention whether Guo Xiaodong's stage skills can support such a play, and whether he can add something different to the icing on the cake in addition to the successful completion of the performance. Just how to settle Guo Xiaodong in the future is enough to give Xia Liyan a headache.
As the leader of the Peking Opera Troupe in Province B, Xia Liyan's thinking is naturally far-reaching.
For example, she sang "Picking Up the Jade Bracelet" to Gu Nanqiao, which was just a performance on the surface, but in fact, she regarded Gu Nanqiao as a good seedling that could be cultivated, and wanted to create an opportunity for her to accelerate her appearance. Even, if Gu Nanqiao's performance this time is gratifying, she can really afford to take the lead, Xia Liyan doesn't mind pouring more effort into her later, and regards her as the signboard of the Peking Opera Troupe in Province B, and she is praised as a famous actor who can represent the image of the troupe.
When it comes to this consideration, Xia Liyan is by no means determined by a pat on the head, when choosing the right candidate, she has investigated for a long time, and after some careful consideration, there is no reason to overturn it and start over because of a trivial matter.
What's more, Gu Nanqiao is a rare good seedling.
So even if there were rumors within the troupe at that time, Xia Liyan did not change the performance list, and even came forward in person to suppress the rumors and rumors about taking private jobs. Xia Liyan knew that Gu Nanqiao was a person who understood, since the leadership had shown its attitude so obviously, it was equivalent to beating her in disguise, so Gu Nanqiao guessed that the above considerations would know how to restrain his behavior.
After that, Gu Nanqiao really did not disappoint Xia Liyan, whether it was the phenomenal success of "Picking Up the Jade Bracelet" or the performance plan of "The Phoenix Returns to the Nest", it was all close to the plan that Xia Liyan originally arranged for her.
Xia Liyan never minded Gu Nanqiao showing her ambitions, and even what she admired was Gu Nanqiao's heart higher than the sky, and the arrogance that was invisibly revealed all over her body, not to mention that she also had enough talent and ability to match. Therefore, Xia Liyan did not hesitate to give this new Hua Dan a chance, wanting her and the troupe to fulfill each other.
However, all of the above are from the perspective of being beneficial to the future development of the Peking Opera Troupe in Province B.
Gu Nanqiao's private life Xia Liyan has nothing to do with it, and those little things don't matter, but if the person he chooses can't become the face of the Peking Opera Troupe in Province B, and even affects the image of the entire troupe because of his personal behavior, then Xia Liyan will not sit idly by.
