Smoke curls.

The middle hall of the Shuntian Peking Opera Company, the building is said to be the main hall with a cloister in the early Shun Dynasty, the door is open at this moment, the main hall lists three incense cases, and offers wine, livestock and melons and fruits, and hangs three portraits on it. The character in the middle is dressed in a yellow python robe, which is the Tang Ming Emperor Li Longji, that is, the ancestor of the pear garden, the figure on the left is the originator of Beijing opera, Huai Cheng Changgeng, and the right is the founder of the Cheng faction, the famous "opera Zhuge " and "Cheng Dawang" of the Shun Dynasty, that is, the great-grandson of Cheng Changgeng, Cheng Nianhuai.

The old man Cheng Yunshan sat on the left side of the incense case, his back straight, and his face was solemn.

The contemporary leaders of the famous schools of Peking opera in Beijing, several old friends of Cheng Yunshan, several leaders of the National Peking Opera Company and the Shuntian Peking Opera Company, all 17 disciples of the old man Cheng, and several relevant people in the cultural circle who are related to the Cheng school and the old man Cheng, all stood on both sides to watch the ceremony. Several elders who are higher than Cheng Yunshan have a seat.

The third-generation disciples of the contemporary Cheng School, from ten-year-old children to those who have already begun to enter the stage, are all dressed in formal attire and stand outside the threshold.

Today's initiators are the second-generation disciples, and compared to them, of course, they are still outside the threshold.

Fang Shaobai, the eldest disciple of the Cheng faction, stood in the middle and said loudly: "Since you enter my door, you should know the rules: first, the prince of heaven and earth, you must not be disrespectful; second, the laws of the country must not be observed; third, adultery and plunder, the virtue of the wicked, should be rejected; fourth, the big smoker, said the blessing of longevity, said happy pill, bad health, not contaminated; fifth...... Six...... Seven...... Li Qian, do you know?"

Li Qian lowered his head, "I know. ”

Fang Shaobai asked, "Can you comply?"

Li Qian nodded, "Yes." ”

Fang Shaobai said: "Good." You can enter my door...... Incense!"

An old man with silver hair started and took three incense sticks that had been lit from a young disciple who was in charge of serving the incense candles, walked two steps slowly, and reached out to hand the incense. Li Qian took it respectfully. Raise to the end of the nose, straighten the heart, eyes, nose, bow your head, and kneel.

Three sticks of incense, high above the top.

Fang Shaobai took the incense and turned to Li Zhixuan. Li Zhixuan was An Xiang on his behalf.

Li Qian kowtowed like three.

Fang Shaobai said: "You can get up." ”

Li Qian got up and stood.

Fang Shaobai said: "Take the ring." ”

Next to him, a disciple of the Cheng faction handed over a commonly used prop in the play - a wooden painted knife.

Fang Shaobai took the knife in his hand and said, "Li Qian, take the three precepts!"

Li Qian stretched out his right hand.

The knife in Fang Shaobai's hand snapped down.

The corners of Li Qian's mouth twitched.

In the current era, in fact, the so-called door rules and precepts have long been relaxed, and many times it is just a formality, in order to show that the old rules have not been lost or forgotten, like this kind of three precepts at the beginning. That is, to play the hand board three times, it can be regarded as giving the new disciple a dismount, so that he knows that the door rules are not for play, but they are often symbolic points to stop, and they will not really hurt at all. But the old man Cheng Yunshan accepted apprentices, but he has always been a real fight.

Although Fang Shaobai had already said in advance, he would pay attention when the time came, and try his best to make a sound so that the old man could hear it, and it wouldn't hurt too much. But even so, it still hurts after all!

However, the corners of Li Qian's mouth moved. But the palms of the hands were still held high and did not move.

"Smack"!

"Smack"!

Fang Shaobai handed back the restraints and turned his head to look at Cheng Yunshan who was sitting on the chair.

Cheng Yunshan nodded, so Fang Shaobai said: "Li Qian, you can bow three times and knock on the master." ”

According to Fang Shaobai's instructions in advance, Li Qian did not turn around and face the direction of Cheng Yunshan. Instead, he was still facing the incense case, bowing and kowtowing in a proper manner.

After the three kowtows, Fang Shaobai smiled and said, "Licheng, please get up!"

Li Qian stood up.

Until this time. The old man Cheng Yunshan stood up, and a disciple handed over a wooden box that looked extremely exquisite, and the old man took it, walked in front of Li Qian, and said, "You have entered my door, I am a teacher, and I will give you a meeting gift." ”

Li Qian took it.

Cheng Yunshan said: "Open it and take a look." ”

Quite a few people stood on tiptoe to look this way.

Li Qian opened the box in response, but saw a feather fan inside.

Many people were a little stunned, and even in the lobby, they couldn't help but feel a little commotion.

The old man said: "As we all know, the ancestors of the family have always been known as 'playing Zhuge ', but unfortunately the Zhuge feather fan he handed down has been destroyed in the war a hundred years ago. I will give it to you today, hoping that you will work hard to expand the Chinese opera culture and the culture of Peking opera!"

From the commotion in the lobby just now, Li Qian knew that the meaning of this feather fan was a bit heavy, but he still bowed down immediately and said, "Master Xie." Willing to inherit the master's ambition. ”

…………

Old Man Cheng opened the mountain gate again, which is certainly not a trivial matter for the Beijing opera industry. Therefore, although the whole ceremony may only take dozens of minutes from beginning to end, many people even have to fly from thousands of miles away to watch the ceremony, and some figures of the older generation have also rushed over.

At the end of the ceremony, Fang Shaobai took Li Qian to meet the elders and fellow disciples one by one.

There are so many people, for a while, to be honest, Li Qian has also memorized a few key points, and the others are just familiar at best.

Then, at noon, it was a banquet arranged by Fang Shaobai.

Everyone was very busy, and after the feast, they quickly took their leave.

And after this whole set of cumbersome procedures, Li Qian officially entered the door of the old man Cheng Yunshan and became his eighteenth disciple.

However, with Li Qian, the old man is obviously not as strict as the previous disciples who have been learning from elementary school, and the two parties only agreed that Li Qian will spend two and a half days a week to learn drama. According to the current class schedule, this time is tentatively set for every Wednesday afternoon and every Saturday morning.

…………

"Huh...... Hey...... Huh......"

"Hmm...... Not...... Hmmm......"

"Ah...... Yes...... Ah......h

There were constantly voices coming from the practice room, and outside the room, Liao Liao and Qi Jie looked at each other, both looking helpless.

Qi Jie rubbed her brows in distress, "What is he...... Are you enchanted?"

Liao Liao shook his head and sat cross-legged on the sofa without any posture. I peeled the lychees and ate them, spit out the kernels while eating, and said, "I don't know, anyway, I don't like to listen to Peking Opera." ”

Qi Jie couldn't help but ask again: "He's been like this every day lately?"

This time, it was Liao Liao's turn to be surprised, "What if you don't do this? I don't also hang my voice every day? Singing and singing are all singing." Of course his voice is important, even when he didn't learn drama before, he would get up early and hang his throat!"

Qi Jie pursed her lips and was speechless.

But after a while, he glanced at the practice room over there, came over with a gossipy face, first snatched a lychee that Liao Liao had peeled and stuffed it in his mouth, and then asked in a low voice: "You two have been ...... lately He often comes to stay, huh?"

Liao Liao peeled another one and whispered: "He shouldn't have touched his little girlfriend yet." He didn't dare to go over there, for fear of being caught by reporters, so he went back on time on Friday and Saturday to accompany his eldest wife, and from weekend to Thursday, all here!"

Qi Jie raised her eyebrows, didn't say anything, grabbed two lychees and sat back to peel them.

Liao Liao glanced at her and felt that something was not quite right. He asked, "You came here so early, what's the matter?"

Qi Jie finished peeling a lychee and stuffed it in his mouth. sighed, threw the rest back, clapped his hands, took his briefcase, and said helplessly: "Sister Runqing's concert has almost been rehearsed, and now it's almost time to determine the guest list." And then, there are some company things......"

As she spoke, she took out a stack of documents, and Liao Liao hurriedly waved her hand, "I'm not his wife." Don't read it to me! Later, when he's done with his voice, you can read it to him. I don't care about that!"

Qi Jie reluctantly put down the file and looked at her, "What do you say you are lazy about? He's okay, although he doesn't do his job, it's good that people are going to learn things, look at you, there are few reporters at the door of the company now, okay? You have taken a leave of absence for ten days, I don't believe it, you are still in pain? You can't walk? Should you also go to the company to report something? Also, did Sister Runqing call you? She concert, do you go or not?"

Liao Liao was also a little ashamed when he heard this, and finally stopped, but soon, before she could speak, the practice room actually stopped.

Both of them thought that Li Qian was coming out.

But then, a burst of guitar sounds came out.

Liao Liao winked at Qi Jie and whispered: "Come on, let me tell you, what I enjoy most every day now is this time, which is more enjoyable than the two of us doing things at night!

Qi Jie rolled her eyes, and listened to it start singing: "You are in the sun in the south, the snow is falling, I am in the cold night in the north, the four seasons are like spring, if it is too late before dark, I will forget your eyes......"

Two women sat on the couch in the living room, and no one spoke.

Liao Liao hugged his fruit bowl, Qi Jie hugged his folder, but his mind seemed to have been taken away by the magnetic voice.

At this moment, Qi Jie unconsciously recalled the feeling when she hid in the corridor and secretly listened to him sing.

In fact, it's only been a little over two years.

However, teachers and students have become bosses and CEOs.

She couldn't help pursing her lips slightly, and there was a faint sadness on her face.

However, halfway through the song, it stopped.

After a while, the guitar sounded again, "The past has become a cloud of smoke, dissipating in front of each other's eyes, even if you say goodbye, I can't see that you have some grievances......"

When the guitar and singing stopped again, Liao Liao looked like a nymphomaniac and muttered: "Do you know?

Qi Jie smiled reluctantly, speechless.

…………

After a while, Li Qian opened the door and came out, and when he saw Qi Jie, he was slightly stunned, "Why did you come here so early?"

Qi Jie quickly adjusted her mood and shook the folder in her hand, "I have to listen to your big boss's arrangement first, and then I will go back to work!"

Li Qian smiled and walked over, Liao Liao picked up a glass of water on the table and handed it to him, "Have you tasted the cold?"

Li Qian took it, sat down, took a sip, and nodded, "It's just right." ”

Liao Liao nodded and sat back.

As soon as he glanced back and saw Qi Jie looking at him in some surprise, Liao Liao subconsciously explained: "Give him cold boiling water, he likes to drink a glass of warm water after hanging his throat, and I pinch some boiling water." ”

Qi Jie pursed her lips and didn't speak, saying in her heart that you have actually begun to learn to take care of people?

But soon, she cleaned up her mood and opened the folder, but she didn't look at it, but just said: "Sister Runqing's concert rehearsal is almost over, I chatted with Sister Runqing, what she means is that the performance time of the guests at the concert is better to be controlled within 20 minutes as much as possible, the time is too long, not very good, so, according to her requirements, plus the company's considerations, we have preliminarily decided on a few candidates, you see?"

As she spoke, Li Qian took a few more sips of water before putting down the cup and saying, "No, just talk about it." ”

Qi Jie said: "There are about five to six songs in total, of which we plan to arrange two songs as Sister Runqing to sing with the guests, so we plan to invite a total of four guests, two of which we will keep by ourselves, and two of them will be her own decision, and she plans to invite Huang Yuqing and Liu Mingming." Huang Yuqing is popular, Liu Mingliang has known her for many years, and they are very suitable, although we haven't sent an invitation yet, but it's not a big problem, after all, even if there is no company, Sister Runqing's own connections are very strong. ”

Speaking of this, she paused and said, "It's just ......"

Li Qian turned his head to look at her, "Just what?"

Qi Jie smiled helplessly and said: "It's just that the news that Sister Runqing is going to hold a concert has already spread, so in the past month, many record companies and many agents have come to walk around, and some even said it on the bright side, just hoping to make Sister Runqing's concert show her face." It's okay to say otherwise, Changsheng Records, the relationship with us has always been good, and Mr. Chen personally went over to sit for a long time...... If you don't give them a place, won't it be too offensive?"

Li Qian thought about it and frowned a little.

But after a while, he said: "Give one of the two places in the company, and let Liao Liao go up and show his face, the three of them are still studying, and there are no new songs and new albums to promote, so it doesn't make much difference if they can't go up." ”

When Qi Jie heard this, he immediately said, "But that's a great incentive for them!"

Liao Liao pouted when he heard this, "What are you motivating!" said and turned his head and touched Li Qian's arm, "Didn't you say the day before yesterday that that song is suitable for that Ge Rilen?" Seeing Li Qian nodded, she said to Qi Jie: "If they don't have emotions, if they have emotions, you just tell them, let them study hard, maybe Qian will write songs for them personally...... Why don't you just press it down?"

Qi Jie blinked when she heard this, and nodded, "That's right." Alright, let's do it!"

Is it important to show your face at He Runqing's concert, or is it important to get a song from your boss?

You don't need to think about this question to know the answer.

The former, that is, going up to sing a song, is at best familiar when there is no need to promote the new album, but what about the latter...... It's likely to mean an overnight hit!

Solving this thorny problem, Qi Jie turned the next page, originally wanted to continue talking about things, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at Li Qian, "Your singing is really getting better and better now, you really don't think about going up to sing a song?"

Li Qian smiled when he heard this, and while holding a cup and drinking water, he thought about it for a while, and then said, "Let's go back and talk about it, I'll think about it again." ”

Qi Jie shrugged and looked helplessly at the document in his hand.

"Here's what's this, well, the soundtrack of the TV series we took over last month, the two songs you wrote were very satisfying, but ...... You also understand, the other party proposed that either Liao Liao or He Runqing would sing, and the others would ......"

Li Qian frowned and put down the water glass.

"Well, that's a big problem! you can't count on both of them for everything!"
