Three days passed in a hurry, during which Shen You not only finished writing the story of "Farewell My Concubine", but also collected some of the materials needed for "Tsing Yi of Two Flowers".

After coming back from morning exercise, taking a shower, and changing into a black Tang suit, Shen You thought about it, and brought the manuscript of "Farewell My Concubine" with him.

Today is the day he made an appointment to record "Round Table Foursome".

Shen You thought that there was an old man in the literary world among the guests who recorded the roundtable program together this time, if the other party had a good impression of himself after the recording of the program, he could ask him to help introduce the editor of the publishing house and find a good home for "Farewell My Concubine".

After leaving the house and walking to the door of the community, Shen You stood on the side of the road and beckoned and called a taxi.

"Master, go to the Phoenix Guild Hall. ”

"Okay. ”

Twenty minutes later, the taxi drove to the entrance of the Phoenix Hall. Shen You got out of the car after paying, and immediately the staff of the program team came forward to receive him.

After a brief chat, the staff took Shen You directly to the studio on the fourth floor.

Entering the studio and seeing that the host and the other two guests were already in place, Shen You said to the three of them apologetically: "I'm sorry everyone, I'm late." ”

"It's not too late, it's only 9:40, and it's not yet the original recording time, it's early for us, Boss Shen, please take a seat." ”

Dou Wentao got up to greet him, and with a gesture of his hand, he invited Shen You to the seat on the right.

The four people at the round table gathered, the camera was adjusted, the director gave the host an OK gesture, and the program officially began to be recorded.

"Eh, today I am incense, all the sounds in my ears are babbling, today, our Boss Shen is here, welcome Boss Shen. ”

After Dou Wentao lit sandalwood and shook the firewood, he took the lead in applauding.

Shen You clapped his hands while smiling and nodding to the other three people at the round table: "Hello Teacher Xu, good host, good Pei Lao." ”

Shen You knew that the middle-aged man wearing black-framed glasses and a black jacket on his right hand was Xu Zidong, a professor of Chinese at Lingnan University in Xiangjiang and a scholar of modern literary history.

The septuagenarian wearing a dark gray tunics with a clear face on the opposite side is Pei Qingfeng, a veteran of the Chinese literary world and a famous writer.

After taking his seat, Dou Wentao looked at Shen You and exclaimed with envy: "Our Boss Shen, the first time I saw it today, I felt like a little fairy, his face is simply the most beautiful look we can think of in our hearts." ”

As he spoke, he was still gesturing his hand on his more obscene face.

Seeing Dou Wentao's funny movements and his exaggerated tone, Pei Qingfeng couldn't help laughing.

Xu Zidong also echoed: "Our Boss Shen is not only outstanding in appearance, but his temperament also makes people feel like a spring breeze." ”

Hearing Dou and Xu praise them like this, Shen You hurriedly shook his hand and chuckled: "The two teachers are too famous. ”

After a humility and a handful, after a greeting and politeness, everyone was no longer restrained, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere slowly became lively.

"Does Mr. Xu usually like to listen to Peking Opera?"

The host, Dou Wentao, threw out today's topic.

Xu Zidong shook his head: "I don't listen much, mainly because I don't understand it very well." ”

Dou Wentao looked at Pei Qingfeng again: "I heard that Pei Lao likes to listen to operas, and he is still a famous ticket for Peking Opera." ”

"Yes, I've been obsessed since I was a child, I'm now in Yanjing Jiyunzhai box office ticket play, and I'm learning from Liu Pai (Liu Hongsheng) old students. ”

Pei Qingfeng nodded, with a smug expression.

"Ouch, learn from the Liu faction, it's amazing, this faction has a high tone and talent, and ordinary people really can't learn it.

You are an old student, so have you heard Boss Shen's play before?"

Pei Qingfeng said with a smile: "Although I am an old student, Tsing Yi, Hua Dan, Xiao Sheng, and Hua Face ...... , as long as it's a good play, I love to listen to it.

I have naturally heard Boss Shen's plays, "Farewell My Concubine", "The Drunken Concubine", "Cosmic Edge", ...... , when Boss Shen was in the Peking Opera troupe, I didn't miss a single of his plays. ”

Dou Wentao listened carefully, and when Pei Lao finished speaking, he praised it in due time, turned his head and told Xu Zidong the anecdote of Shen Yuelou: "I have heard a lot of legends about him, it is said that once when he performed at the National Center for the Performing Arts, Mr. Xiao Yanqiu (Cheng Pai Qingyi Famous Actor) heard Boss Shen singing Benyue on stage in the side curtain, and immediately said to the actor next to him with a surprised face: "Oh, this figure, this singing voice, it is simply Mei Lanfang alive!"

As soon as Mr. Xiao Yanqiu's words got out, Boss Shen got the nickname "Little Mei Lanfang" in the pear orchard.

It's just that you're not happy to hear people call you that?"

In the end, Dou Wentao looked at Shen You again.

"No! No!"

Shen You hurriedly explained: "Since I was a child, Mr. Mei has always been my idol, and I naturally have great respect for Mr. Mei in my heart, but at that time, I felt that my level was not enough, and I couldn't afford Mr. Xiao Yanqiu's praise. ”

"I see. Dou Wentao made a clear expression, and asked curiously: "Eh, why did Boss Shen suddenly quit the pear orchard four years ago?

"Nothing happened, but I had just become a singer at that time, and the troupe arranged too many plays for me, and my voice was overworked, and I slowly collapsed.

As soon as my voice fell, I was frustrated in my heart, so I stopped singing in anger, and directly announced that the box was sealed, and I quit the pear orchard line from then on. ”

After thinking for a moment, Shen said these words slowly and methodically.

The real situation naturally can't be said directly, and he can barely get through with this set of arguments.

Hearing Shen You's words, Dou Wentao smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Boss Shen would be such a gentle person, and there would be a time when he was young and vigorous.

So where did Boss Shen go after quitting the pear orchard, and what have you been doing all these years?

I think it's not just me, but many viewers are also very curious about Boss Shen's experience over the years. ”

In the week that Shen Yuelou became popular again, his experience after quitting the pear orchard has already been made into a legend.

retired at the peak of his career, for what reason, and where did he go?

Some people say that he was hurt by love, and then, he became a monk.

Some say that he married a wife and had children and emigrated abroad.

Others say he died four years ago.

……

Shen You naturally heard about the rumors on the Internet, and he just replied lightly: "Actually, in the years since I quit the pear orchard, I haven't gone anywhere, and I've been staying in Yanjing City."

Life is also unremarkable, reading books all day long, practicing my voice, and occasionally writing novels and scripts. ”

Dou Wentao was surprised: "Oh, Boss Shen has also written scripts and novels? Mr. Xu and Pei Lao are experts in this regard, I wonder if we have the honor to read a masterpiece?"

Shen You's heart moved, and he replied with a smile: "What a masterpiece, I write novels and scripts to entertain myself, write and play."

If a few teachers are interested, after the show, I will definitely present a clumsy work, please a few axes to correct it. ”

This topic was quickly skipped, and then, the four of them talked about some famous anecdotes, and the story of Liyuan.

Dou Wentao asked: "Mr. Pei, you said that you have experienced Peking Opera from its heyday in your life, and then to this day, some people say that Peking Opera is in decline, or that the audience is getting smaller and smaller, what do you think of this?"

Pei Qingfeng thought for a while, and replied seriously: "This question is difficult to explain, the audience is small, if you want to compare it with the past, it must be less, or compared with the audience of pop music, movies, and TV series, it is even less pitiful."

But if you want to say that it is declining, you don't have to. ”

Dou Wentao asked again: "Oh, how do you say it?"

Pei Qingfeng replied: "There are still many people who really like Peking Opera, and it is irreplaceable, if you really get into it and become a fan of Peking Opera, it will be a lifetime thing, and when you watch other entertainment, it will taste like chewing wax." ”

Hearing Pei Lao say this, Dou Wentao looked at Xu Zidong and asked with a smile, "Teacher Xu has a different opinion?"

"Nope. Xu Zidong shook his head and said, "Listening to Pei Lao just now, I was thinking about a question, that is, why don't I watch Peking Opera."

Because when we mention Peking Opera today, it is an elegant art, not a pastime and entertainment.

Before watching the play, I don't want to burn incense and bathe in the bath, and get ready to be edified and baptized.

I think many people now have the same idea as me, thinking that it is too heavy, and it is better to stay away. ”

After listening to Xu Zidong's thoughts, Shen You smiled and said: "It is a misunderstanding to regard Peking Opera as an elegant art that can only be viewed from a distance, not up close.

In the past, Peking Opera was a particularly popular and entertaining thing, but later, there were movies, TV dramas, and pop music, which were more entertaining, so it seemed to be artistic.

In fact, in addition to the big themes of family and country hatred and life philosophy in Peking Opera, there are also some short stories of parents......"

Pei Qingfeng sighed: "In the final analysis, the misunderstanding is due to the lack of promotion and popularization of Peking Opera culture.

If you want to change the status quo of fewer and fewer audiences, you have to have a superstar in the Peking Opera industry, and one person can lead the revival of an industry. ”

"Pei Lao's words are good, just like there is a boss Guo in the cross talk world, there is also a need for such a person in the Peking Opera industry. ”

Dou Wentao and Xu Zidong applauded Pei Lao's unique insights, and Shen You also nodded: "I have been taught." ”

"Round table foursome, see you after the advertisement. ”

The host Dou Wentao finished reading an advertisement, and then turned back: "Boss Shen came to our show, how can he not raise his voice?

Shen You said helplessly: "Okay, then sing a short paragraph from the new drama I wrote." ”

"New opera, then we are blessed, I hope that our Boss Shen's drama can make Mr. Xu, who has never listened to opera, fall in love with Peking Opera. ”

The three of them applauded together, the camera was given to Shen You, and Shen You sang a commentary: "Su San left HD County and came to the street." I didn't say that I was miserable in my heart, and the gentlemen in the past listened to me: Which one goes to Nanjing to turn around, and pass on the letter with my San Lang. said that Su San would break his life, and I should repay him for becoming a dog and horse in the next life.

Okay, that's it, it's ugly. ”

From the moment Shen You started singing, Pei Lao closed his eyes, shook his head, and patted his legs at the same time, tasting the charm.

A hearty piece of flowing water in Xipi is really enjoyable to listen to.

Until Shen You finished singing, Pei Lao had not yet escaped from the state of numbness.

Dou Wentao said: "It's really unfinished, Pei Lao is fascinated by it, what does Teacher Xu think?"

"Sounds good. ”

Xu Zidong said seriously: "It's really good, if Boss Shen sings such a scene on stage, I will definitely sell tickets to watch it." ”

……

The recording of the "Round Table Foursome" program ended in laughter, and Shen You walked out of the studio after exchanging contact information with the other three.
