"Are you here to learn the old dialect?" Liu Xingwu hurriedly asked.

The man looked to be in his twenties, a young man, and very rare.

In the past few days, most of the people who have signed up are relatively old.

"I am. The man said.

"My name is Liu Xingwu, and I am the deputy director of the Laoqiang Protection Center. Liu Xingwu hurriedly greeted.

There was no way, the manpower was limited, so he could only personally handle the registration.

"My name is Huang Han. The man said, placing the original and photocopy of his ID card on the table.

"I came here after seeing your ad on TV. Huang Han said.

Liu Xingwu smiled and said, "Have you heard the old dialect?"

"I've heard it, I like it. Huang Han was excited.

"Can you sing a few words?"

"Sing, I'll try. Huang Han stood up.

He cleared his throat and then sang, "The order will shake the mountains and rivers!"

The sound echoed through the room, very loud.

After listening to this voice, Liu Xingwu had a number in his heart.

According to the regulations, a loud voice of the learner is the first priority.

After checking some things, Liu Xingwu registered Huang Han's name.

"On the first of July, you come to the Hugou Village Laoxiang Conservation Center for class, our classroom is over there, and the dormitories are also available. Liu Xingwu said.

Huang Han was grateful and left the office.

He was just one of the people who came to sign up.

"Well, there are still young people who are willing to come and learn. Liu Xingwu said very happily.

"I hope this training course will be successful!" Zhang He also said with a smile.

By the time registration was over, a total of 23 participants had been enrolled in the first course, of which 10 were young people, and the remaining 13 were slightly older.

It's enough for someone to learn the old dialect, Liu Xingwu didn't find fault with anything.

The older you are, the more flavorful you sing.

On July 1st, the training course officially started.

Liu Xingwu and Zhang He waited for the students to come over at the conservation center with joyful faces.

Students came here one after another, and Huang Han was among them, and he came quite early.

The students waited in the classroom, and Liu Xingwu stood on the podium, counting only twenty people.

"It's half past nine, won't you not come?" Wu Xiaoqian whispered.

"We'll wait. Liu Xingwu frowned.

The appointed time was nine o'clock, but the people hadn't arrived yet.

After waiting for another half an hour until ten o'clock, the last three people still did not arrive, but they waited for a phone call.

"Director Liu, I'm really embarrassed, my mother said that it would take a year to learn the old dialect, and it would be a waste of time, so let me marry my daughter-in-law quickly, and I won't come. ”

"It's okay, you still have to listen to the elders. Liu Xingwu said slowly.

Hang up the phone, with a heavy heart.

It's good to call, but the remaining two didn't even say hello, so don't wait any longer, they definitely won't come.

After losing at the beginning, Liu Xingwu was not in a good mood.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are here to protect this national intangible cultural heritage, to recruit everyone to learn the old language, in order to be able to pass on the old language, the old language is now a lot of performances, after you learn this craft, we can recommend you to perform outside, you can also make money, but the learning process may be a little harder. Liu Xingwu told the truth.

These people who come to learn can't expect people to love the old dialect and know what they are thinking.

Lao Yan is now performing in various places and appearing on TV, and he must be making money.

Some people may love it, but most of them come to learn a craft so that they can eat well, after all, there is no need to pay tuition here.

What Liu Xingwu told them was that they could make money by learning from the old dialect, so that they could retain people.

Some old people sat down absent-mindedly, and they didn't take this hairy guy seriously at all, and a few of them were people who could be grandparents, let alone take Liu Xingwu seriously.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since we have come to the training class, we must have rules, practice our voices at seven o'clock in the morning, and we must get up to ......," Liu Xingwu said sternly.

The first time I did this, I was a little rusty, but I had to be hard-headed, and no matter what the result of the first training course was, I had to be angry.

After finishing the rules, Liu Xingwu asked Zhang Delin to come over and began to teach some knowledge of the old man.

"Each person has a book, this book should be kept, this is our teaching material, and we must return it when we run out. Liu Xingwu advised.

I don't want money to cherish things, and if I lose them, it's a loss, and I can save a little bit.

Huang Han is very enthusiastic about learning and frequently asks questions in class.

The first day was about music theory, not practice.

The course structure was discussed with the Xi'an Conservatory of Music, Director Liang Qiuliang gave special guidance, and also gave a pre-job training to the veteran artists, so that Zhang Delin could give a down-to-earth lecture.

The next day, the actual combat began, and the instrument was issued.

It is a must to have a musical instrument in each hand.

Yueqin is taught in Yueqin class, and erhu is taught in erhu class......

The training class was quite normal, and Liu Xingwu's heart could be put down.

After more than a month, Huang Han walked into the office.

"Director Liu. Huang Han said a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Liu Xingwu wondered.

"You have been studying very well recently, Lord Delin has praised you in front of me, and after you graduate, you will definitely be the best in this group of people. Liu Xingwu said with a smile.

However, Huang Han did not have the slightest joy on his face when he heard this.

"Director Liu, I'm sorry, I can't study here. Huang Han said slowly, not daring to look at Liu Xingwu.

"Don't learn?" Liu Xingwu said in surprise.

Huang Han was recruited by him, and he learned very well, and he will definitely be able to go out to perform in the future.

"Director Liu, my family doesn't let me continue to study, saying that I am delaying earning money here, and I can earn thousands of dollars a month by working outside, but I don't make money here, and I don't know when I can make money, I ......," Huang Han said.

Not the first, and it won't be the last.

There have already been one or two students who have left for various reasons.

The older ones are going to farm and take their children away, and the younger ones are going out to work because they are getting married.

I don't really like the old one, so I can't leave it for the end.

Liu Xingwu was silent, not knowing what to say.

"Director Liu, when I earn money, I will come back to learn the old style, but now I can't learn, my peers in the village have gone out to work, and when they earn money, they will come back to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law, if I don't earn money again, my father and mother will kick me out of the house." Huang Han said.

"Okay, then you go through the formalities and let's go. Liu Xingwu said a little depressed.

"Thank you, Director Liu. Huang Han bowed.

Wu Xiaoqian on the side went through the formalities for him, and Huang Han quickly left here.

The family urging is just a reason, in fact, he doesn't want to learn, Liu Xingwu can see it.

The process of learning the old dialect is very boring, you must be patient, you must have perseverance, and you must be able to endure hardships......

A few young people can persevere, and even if they do, those young people will not come to learn the old ways.

When Zhang Delin was a child, when he was a child, because according to the old rules, he had to drink his own urine before opening his throat, and Zhang Delin also hesitated at that time, but he still drank urine under the spur of the master.

If you can't persevere, there will be one less old master today.

Now in modern society, many superstitious things have been discarded, and good things are left behind, and scientific methods are used to teach the old way.

For this reason, Zhang Delin did his best to break the old rule of passing on men but not women, and passing on inside but not outside, but even so, some people left for free teaching.

Everyone is an individual and has the right to choose, and Liu Xingwu can't limit them.

One after another people left, and in the end all the young people left, and no one remained, only some old people remained.

"Lin Xiong, what do you think?" Liu Xingwu asked.

According to the current situation, the training course will not be able to train many artists.

Lin Xiong thought for a while and said, "Didn't they leave because they didn't make money, or if we gave them subsidies to learn from the old ones, they wouldn't be able to stay." ”

"If you dare to think so, I dare not do it. Liu Xingwu shook his head.

It's okay to issue subsidies, but where does the money come from?

It's hard to do anything without money.

Many ideas can only think because of the lack of funds, providing free musical instruments and teaching materials is already the limit of the old protection center, and if you want to go further, you must get government subsidies.

The proposal was very good, Liu Xingwu wrote a report and handed it in, intending to give it a try, but it didn't take long for him to be approved back, and the reason for the refusal was that there were not enough funds and not so much money to invest in the old man.

The government will first invest money in infrastructure construction, and the money for infrastructure construction is not enough, let alone allocate funds to the old man.

There is no way, so I can only do it first, and keep as many people as I can.

There will definitely be a lot of problems in the first training course, and it is better to have problems than not to find them.

Zhang He also knew about the plight of the training class, but he couldn't help, so he could only post an advertisement in the theater to help promote it.

The old-fashioned performances are gradually becoming less and less.

The heat has passed, and it should be how it should be.

In the old theater, Zhang Chuan stood on the stage and performed with the old artists.

He has now begun to learn the old style with the training class, and Zhang Delin's teaching to him is stricter than those ordinary students, after all, he is a member of the Zhang family.

Now, he is familiar with the stage with Yu Shengye, and he can leave the school as soon as possible.

Zhang He sat in the first row of the audience and watched the performances of several people.

The mobile phone rang, and Zhang He saw that it was actually a Beijing number that was calling, so he quickly ran out to pick it up.

"Hello. ”

"Mr. Zhang, I'm Li Wan. ”

"Professor Li?" Zhang He said in surprise.

"I changed the number, I didn't have time to say, you just saved it. Li Wan smiled.

"Professor Li, you're welcome. Zhang He responded.

Li Wan paused and said, "Zhang He, this time I came to introduce you to a good thing." ”

"Professor Li, please speak. ”

"Beijing Renyi Repertory Theatre is planning a large-scale drama performance, the director is a friend of mine, this drama is adapted from a novel, the author is a great writer in Shaanxi, very famous. ”

"The drama performance needs some local operas in Shaanxi, and the director is looking for a suitable one, so I recommended Huayin Laohua to them. Li Wan smiled.

"Thank you, Professor Lee. Zhang He hurriedly said.

It's been so long, Li Wan actually remembers them, and it is really hard to forget the kindness of being able to recommend Huayin Laojiao out at this time.
