Coming out of the Pinnacle Entertainment Building, it was almost half past one in the afternoon, Shen You found a small restaurant nearby and had a simple lunch.

After lunch, he was just about to take a taxi home when he suddenly received a call from Pei Lao.

"Boss Shen, where are you now?"

"I'm in a restaurant across the street from Summit Towers. ”

Knowing that Shen You was still nearby, Pei Lao asked him to come back again, and the two made an appointment to meet at the gate of the Summit Entertainment Building.

Five minutes later, Shen You came to the door of the Summit Entertainment Building.

Seeing Shen You, Pei Lao immediately stepped forward to congratulate: "Congratulations to Boss Shen, the audition is done, and Director Zhang finally decided to let you play Chai Yuan." ”

"I, really!"

Hearing this good news, a smile also appeared on Shen You's face. He was grateful to Pei Lao: "Thank you Pei Lao for this, I know you must have contributed a lot." ”

Pei Lao waved his hand again and again: "Hahaha, I don't dare to take credit for this." It was Boss Shen's performance that was good enough to impress Director Zhang and win a chance for himself. ”

The two talked all the way, and soon came to the fourteenth floor. followed Pei Lao into it, and Shen You signed an actor contract with the crew of "The Last Emperor".

After signing the contract, Pei Lao explained to Shen You: "This drama will probably start in March after the new year, and now there are still more than three months before the start of production."

In the meantime, you're busy.

First of all, you must correct your accent and learn the purest old Yanjing dialect. Then, you'll learn equestrian, golf, ballroom dancing, and other aristocratic etiquette.

Finally, I also have to learn English, French and Dongying, three foreign languages that Chai Yuan mastered, and the minimum requirement is to be coarse, at least to be able to meet the requirements of shooting.

In addition, considering that you have to be busy with some of your own affairs, the crew will give you a week to deal with personal matters, and a week later, you will be assigned a class. ”

"Okay, I've got a note of that. ”

After a few more words with Pei Lao, Shen You said goodbye and left.

Back home, he began to think about how to organize the seven days.

Tomorrow, I will go to Uncle Chen to discuss the formation of the class, and then take the time to go to Dr. Li's clinic, and the editing will have to be postponed again.

Oh yes, you'll have to find a broker. In the future, there will be more and more things, and I will definitely not be able to keep busy.

Thinking of this, Shen You found three senior headhunting companies on the Internet, sent his information and requirements to the agent, entrusted them to help find a suitable agent, and then waited for the results on their side.

Early the next morning, Shen You came to the office of Chen Erkui of the Third Peking Opera Troupe.

"Xiaolou is here, please take a seat. ”

Chen Erkui glanced at Shen You and said with a smile: "Seeing that your complexion is getting better and better, I really believe that you have recovered from your illness." ”

"I told you that I was cured. ”

Shen You also smiled: "Depression is originally a mental illness, and if you think about it, the illness will naturally be cured." ”

"Xiaolou, you can come out again, Uncle Chen is really happy. ”

Chen Erkui smiled with relief, and asked curiously: "What kind of charter did you tell me about the formation of the class that day?"

"It's what I told you that day, let's set up a drama troupe first, I have thought of the name, it's called the Spring and Autumn Drama Club.

Then, we came up with a script, found a theater, and invited actors from the Peking Opera Company in a cooperative way, and then cultivated our own team when we gradually became famous. ”

"Spring and Autumn Opera Club, good name. ”

Chen Erkui praised it, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Xiaolou, your idea is good, but there are a few problems, we have to face them."

Now that the general environment of the Peking Opera market is not good, and the audience of the National Peking Opera Company is small, we invite the same actors (or even the actors' grades may be lower) to perform again, and there will be more people to watch?

Moreover, most of the performance theaters in Yanjing are now used in cross talk and drama, and in the case of Peking Opera, they generally only cooperate with the National Peking Opera Company, if the Spring and Autumn Opera Society is used as the performer, the theater may not be willing to cooperate with you, and without a performance theater, everything is empty talk.

Also, who writes the script, and what plays do the audience like to watch?

These are very real problems. ”

Listening to Uncle Chen's words, Shen You suddenly felt that a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, but he did not feel discouraged: "Uncle Chen, I really didn't think about these problems before when you said them.

The Peking Opera market is really not good now, and the theater is very likely to refuse to cooperate with us.

However, we can't stop doing it just because there are these difficulties, in which case the market will only get worse and worse.

I've already written the script, let's think about the theater, if the big theater can't find it, just look for the small theater, and the small theater can't find it, even if I build an open-air stage on the flyover, I'll sing the play. ”

"Hahaha, good boy, ambitious, the theater will be handed over to Uncle Chen, even if I show this old face, I will definitely find a theater for you to perform. ”

Chen Erkui patted Shen You's shoulder heavily and took the script handed by Shen You.

The script is not long, a total of more than a dozen pages, and it is divided into eleven scenes, and each entry of the characters, reading, and banyan is written in detail.

"Wonderful, really wonderful. ”

After reading the script, Chen Erkui said excitedly: "I haven't seen such a wonderful book for many years, the story is tear-jerking, the lyrics are shocking, this work is definitely a master." ”

Having been immersed in the Peking Opera industry for more than 40 years, Chen Erkui is naturally very knowledgeable.

Shen You said with a smile: "Since Uncle Chen also thinks this script is good, then the first play of our Spring and Autumn Drama Club will use it to fight cannons." ”

"Hahaha, it's definitely an instant hit. ”

Chen Erkui laughed loudly: "However, a good script must be matched with good actors." Don't worry, I will definitely give you all the famous roles in this play. I will play the harlequin in person, let's invite Boss Yu, and the scene must be matched with the best scene, the pianist Bai Youchen, the drum master Wang Dengyun, none of them can be missing.

I believe that as long as they see this book, they will definitely not refuse. ”

"Thank you Uncle Chen, if our Spring and Autumn Opera Club gathers so many famous actors in the first scene, it will definitely be a big event that shocks Liyuan. ”

Shen You was also looking forward to it in his heart.

The first Kunsheng Wang Jinyu, the famous Chinese ugly Chen Erkui and the famous singer Shen Yuelou in Tsing Yi, this lineup can definitely be regarded as a luxury troupe in the Peking Opera industry.

Not to mention, there is also the first pianist Bai Youchen and the first drummer Wang Dengyun.

In the afternoon of the same day, at the invitation of Chen Erkui, these people were really brought together.

In addition to Wang Jinyu, Bai Youchen, and Wang Dengyun, there are also several important supporting roles.

"Xiaolou, this is my apprentice Wu Shengkui, this is Sun Xiaotang and Boss Sun of the Second Regiment, go to Lao Dan, and this, the rising star of our Third Regiment, Lin Rubai, Xiaosheng Xingdang. ”

Chen Erkui introduced a few fresh faces in the field to Shen You, and other people who were already familiar with each other naturally didn't need to make more introductions.

"Hello Boss Shen. ”

"Hello everyone!"

Shen You greeted them one by one.

Wu Shengkui, in his early twenties, tall and thin, with a pointed and narrow face, dark eyes, and a somewhat slippery face, is indeed a good material for learning ugliness.

Sun Xiaotang looked at forty-six or seven, with short silver-gray hair, and traces of years on his face, but he did not show the vicissitudes of life, and he was very beautiful.

Lin Bai is a young and handsome young man.

"Boss Shen, long time no see. ”

Wang Jinyu stepped forward to greet Shen You: "It's been four years, I remember that four years ago, we sang "Sword Pavilion Memories of Taizhen" at the Mei Theater once, I went to Tang Minghuang, you went to Concubine Taizhen, that scene was really hearty."

Later, when I heard that Boss Shen was sealed and hidden, I felt very sorry in my heart, thinking that I would never have the opportunity to cooperate with Boss Shen again in my life.

Unexpectedly, after four years, we can sing a play together again. ”

Wang Jinyu is in her early forties, not tall, with oily hair, wearing a gray cloth gown, often holding a folding fan in her hand, looking personable, much younger than her actual age.

"I haven't seen you for four years, but Boss Yu's demeanor is still the same. ”

Shen You chuckled: "It's a pity that this time we are playing father and daughter, not singing Shengdan to children's play, or, let's work together again next time?"

"Hahaha, okay, but we can't sing "Sword Pavilion Memories Too True" next time, Boss Shen has to write a new play. ”

"Definitely, definitely. ”

In the next two days, everyone has been rehearsing in the third group, during which two headhunting companies called to tell Shen You, saying that they had a suitable agent candidate and asked him to come and have a look.

Shen You has been busy rehearsing, so naturally he has no time to meet, so he can only postpone it.

On Saturday night, the two theaters that Uncle Chen had been fighting for finally responded, willing to let them try.

Chen Erkui put down the phone and said to everyone: "Jixiang Theater, tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning, go to Zhonghe Garden at two o'clock in the afternoon to perform, and then go back to Jixiang to perform a night play in the evening, everyone is ready, and the official performance will be performed tomorrow." ”

The crowd cheered in unison: "Great, it's finally time to perform." ”

Shen You was also a little excited in his heart, the first step in his comeback to Liyuan was also the first scene of the Spring and Autumn Opera Society's performance, and there was no room for error.
