Chapter 11: Who Are You?

Before Su Yiyang's words were completely finished, Li Hetian guessed what he meant.

It seemed that he didn't expect the young man in front of him to be able to say such a sharp thing, Li Hetian was slightly stunned at first, and then subconsciously turned his head and wanted to hand Duan Mingshan an inquiring look, but found that his old partner also changed his face.

Also a little impressed by Su Yiyang was Gu Nanqiao who was sitting in the audience, although she didn't see the play "The Legend of the West Chamber" just played, but in everyone's conversation, she also vaguely guessed what the problem with this play was.

Sure enough, Su Yiyang's words later verified Gu Nanqiao's thoughts.

"Listening to what makes the audience enjoy this play, Yingying sends Huai Si Lang on a moonlit night, thinking about a love word, not to mention the show-off skills of everyone here, not to mention the show-off skills that do not cooperate with each other tacitly. I would-venture to ask, you must have not rehearsed this play for at least a month, right?"

Duan Mingshan raised his eyebrows a little unexpectedly: "You can even hear whether we rehearse or not?"

What Su Yiyang said is indeed the truth, but as an audience, if you want to listen so carefully, you have to have a very deep study of Peking Opera, and you can't exercise such ear power without more than ten years of hard work. And Su Yiyang is young, and he still looks chic and casual, no matter how you look at it, he has little to do with the identity of a senior drama fan.

Su Yiyang nodded noncommittally, and continued: "I can still hear that Teacher Li usually doesn't have much contact with that little Tsing Yi, and he doesn't know her well, right? Chu Youyou's timbre and body are not the best, among the four skills and five methods, the advantage is the combination of singing and chanting and the use of eye method - her eyes have an aura, which is her unique feature, and it is easy to become an invisible highlight in some singing sections. ”

"Since it's the highlight of the show, it's time to make it rarer......."

Li Hetian repeated in a low voice, recalling Fang Cai's performance, frowning slightly, "I left a large number of complex singing passages to that girl, originally thinking of handing over the stage to her, not stealing her limelight, and letting her show all her singing voices, but it turned out to expose her shortcomings." ”

"Teacher Li is an understanding person, that is, you haven't had a few run-ins with this little Tsing Yi before, so you gave me the opportunity to get an axe in the class. ”

Su Yiyang chuckled, half-jokingly brought a high hat to Li Hetian, and ended with a simple joke: "What I just said is the subjective impression of the audience, as for how to perform this play well and what to change and adjust, it is a matter of spring in the garden, and everyone here knows better than me." ”

Gu Nanqiao didn't continue to tease Chu Youyou with poverty, but looked at Su Yiyang seriously.

He was wearing a white casual shirt, short black hair was messy and stylish, reflecting the angular handsome face and lazy smiling eyes, handsome and handsome, handsome very much in line with the public's aesthetics. Obviously, he exudes an arrogant aura in his words, but he has a bit of a youthful attitude in his gestures, which makes him look casual and lazy, and people can't find fault with it.

If you judge people by their appearance, Su Yiyang doesn't look like a Peking Opera connoisseur no matter how she looks at it, but the question he just pointed out is too spicy.

Just listening to a play, it is absolutely impossible to say what he said just now, it feels as if Su Yiyang is not just an ordinary audience, but has a very deep study of the spring garden, which makes Gu Nanqiao a little frightened.

What Su Yiyang said is not so much the problem of "The Legend of the West Chamber", but the predicament that has long existed in the garden full of spring.

The reason why the private troupe of Spring Manyuan can stand up to the scene is because of the three elder brothers Fan Lingchu, Duan Mingshan and Li Hetian, and as for the other members, almost none of them have too high a level of skills. Except for Chu Youyou and Li Mu, who plays gongs and drums, the rest of the people only know a little about instrumental music, and their professional level is extremely limited.

And Chu Youyou started his internship in his senior year, and only then came to the Spring Garden to perform on stage, and he had little run-in with the opera team before, and his singing habits were also a decent routine in the class. There is no problem with normal performances, but if you delve into the artistic presentation of the work, it is nitpicky to say that she does not match the overall style of the band, and it is very out of place.

As for Li Mu, it is even more exaggerated, he is the only son of Li Hetian, who just turned eighteen this year and is in his third year of high school. His skills are all trained by Li Hetian himself, plus the child really likes Peking Opera performances, and has always wanted to find an opportunity to exercise, and later Li Hetian came to the spring garden to help, so he called his son over to make up the number, and the two of them supported the three major martial arts in Peking Opera together, which can be regarded as ensuring the normal performance.

However, Li Mu, as a student party, can come to the spring garden to play gongs and drums while busy with his studies, and no one is embarrassed to force him to rehearse with the members of the drama team all day long, at most he is here to save the scene and make up the numbers.

Fan Lingchu, Duan Mingshan and Li Hetian are extremely familiar with each other's singing habits, and all kinds of small habits are kept in mind, even if they miss a few rehearsals, they can make up for it with the tacit understanding accumulated by the three of them for many years. However, for the other members of the troupe, such unprofessionalism will affect the quality of the performance very much, especially after the three pillars, no matter how much the other members of the spring garden rehearse, it has no substantive significance, and it will not help much in the final performance.

This is also the problem that Gu Nanqiao is worried about - once Fan Lingchu has a little wind and grass on his side, the spring garden will not be far from the skylight.

It's not that Gu Nanqiao hasn't thought about these things, and it's not that he hasn't mentioned them to Fan Lingchu. Especially last year, when Gu Nanqiao thought of the preliminary model of drama reform, and after the first performance, she got a fairly good attendance rate, and she urgently needed the big guys in the spring garden to cooperate with more rehearsal attempts, she once seriously discussed the current situation of the spring garden with her master Fan Lingchu.

But Fan Lingchu understood everything, but he was helpless.

Duan Mingshan and Li Hetian knew from the beginning that Fan Lingchu was struggling to run the drama team, and all expenses, large and small, were maintained by his own advances, so when the two brothers discussed, they were stunned that no one mentioned the salary.

Later, under Fan Lingchu's several requests, they reluctantly accepted the performance fee according to the number of performances, but it was only a symbolic little money, less than one-third of the salary of the musicians of the normal Peking Opera troupe, and it was nothing more than voluntary labor. For the old friends who were willing to come to help, they were already relying on the old days, Fan Lingchu really couldn't pull his face to ask for more, and he couldn't make a reluctant request similar to asking them to put more effort into the private theater troupe of Spring Garden.

That conversation couldn't be over, and Gu Nanqiao didn't mention it again.

For these bad things in the spring garden, Fan Lingchu was embarrassed to speak, Gu Nanqiao didn't take a position to make more judgments, and at this moment, Su Yiyang, a person who couldn't beat the troupe, pointed out implicitly and sharply, and couldn't help but make everyone present change their faces slightly.

Li Hetian's thin hand rubbed the drumstick, and he had already put away the nose that was not the nose at the beginning, and the eyes were not eyes, and he looked a little differently at this young boy who seemed to be a child. And Duan Mingshan, the eldest brother of the troupe, looked at Su Yiyang thoughtfully, as if he was reflecting on the "Legend of the West Chamber" that he had just sang, and it also seemed to be recalling the deep meaning of his words.

In other words, Duan Mingshan was thinking about the purpose of this uninvited guest's visit today.

As an ordinary audience, most of the people who come to see the play just want to watch a lively show, even if they find problems, most of them don't say anything, I really don't think it's good, it's a big deal to change the troupe next time to watch it. Why be like Su Yiyang, to delve into where the problem is, and deliberately mention it and do these thankless things.

Su Yiyang was indeed right when he said the truth, but why did he know so much, and why did he bother to bother with the problems of the troupe, if everything was just a coincidence, Duan Mingshan would not believe it.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask something, a clear and pleasant voice came first.

"This audience friend, let me ask first, who are you?"

The person who spoke was Gu Nanqiao, she stood up and walked to Su Yiyang's side, and asked bluntly: "I am basically familiar with the audience who often comes to the Spring Garden, if I remember correctly, today is the first time you have come to the Spring Garden to watch a play, but what you said just now is not like you can say it for the first time." ”

Su Yiyang turned his head sideways in response and looked at Gu Nanqiao casually: "What's the matter, ask me where I come from, can't I, who is looking for trouble, get out of the gate of the spring garden?"

Gu Nanqiao was choked by Su Yiyang's bluntness, and said in his heart You still know that you are looking for trouble, and you are quite self-aware. However, these emotions were well hidden in Gu Nanqiao's heart, and they were not revealed at all on the surface.

"What are these words," Gu Nanqiao curled the corners of his lips and chuckled, "We are full of spring and open the garden to do business, we are not afraid of the audience's opinions, and it is not that we can't listen to criticism, what you just said makes sense, of course we will encourage if we don't change it." ”

Su Yiyang took out the cigarette biting the corner of his lip and flicked the cigarette ash casually.

White smoke rose around, reflecting a playful smile in his eyes: "Filling out an audience questionnaire on the street and knowing to protect privacy is anonymous, you asked in such detail, you don't want to send me a pennant, right?"

"Whether you send a pennant or not, you have to see what you want to do, right?"

Gu Nanqiao was too lazy to tease Su Yiyang with poverty, and continued to ask directly, "You came to the Spring Garden today, not by chance, but because you knew something about it before, and you came to the door on purpose, right?"
