Chapter 443: The Quintessence of the Nation Forever [One Update]

After Zhang Chu reported the situation of his bookstore to the editor Gu Xinxue, the answer he got was not so surprising.

Because Nanhai Publishing Company is out of stock, those dealers and large bookstores are waiting outside the company's cooperative printing house with large trucks!

The works that have just been printed from the assembly line have not completely dropped in temperature, and they are loaded onto trucks and shipped to all parts of the country.

Although Gu Xinxue and the others intended to print it again, the printing house had to wait in line for a while, and it was far from quenching their thirst.

Zhang Bowen could only give up in the face of this situation, and his desire to get the goods directly from the publishing house cheaply was shattered, so he had to go to a distributor.

Dealers are obviously not charities, they also have to make money, and the price that Hanlinxuan gets from the dealers is much higher, but it still makes money!

Although the matter has not been resolved, there is no way to do it, and the editors of Nanhai Publishing Company cannot be allowed to make a trick.

Zhang Chu turned on the sound of the announcement, and the soft music flowed down, and he drove the car into the rolling traffic.

……

In the next few days, Zhang Chu did not write a single book, and took classes, reads, exercised, and had leisure and entertainment seriously.

Although the box office of "Psychological Crime" is still high, and although he has sold several films well, he finally feels like a real college student these days, rather than a bystander!

After more than a semester of training, he finally bid farewell to the rookie stage in rock climbing, and can climb up skillfully and agilely on the indoor artificial rock wall.

It's just that if you want to go to the wilderness, you have to practice again, and you can't keep climbing along the same path, so that the muscles of the rest of the body can't be trained.

Only by allowing the body to gradually adapt to various intensities, through accumulation, can the fingers and body become stronger and stronger, and the sudden increase or decrease in the intensity of the exercise is easy to make the body uncomfortable and injured.

Climbing different routes, climbing different rock walls, climbing to different rock pavilions, and even climbing to the top and then slowly climbing down, all of these make Zhang Chu happy.

Sweat soaked the sweatshirt, Zhang Chu stood on the floor with a feeling of exhaustion, it seemed that his arms were trembling slightly, and his muscles were a little sore!

At this time, a senior brother from the club came over from the locker room, and he reminded with a smile: "Zhang Chu, the mobile phone in your locker has vibrated for a long time, and people who don't know still think that you have put some toys that are inappropriate for children in the cabinet." ”

"Your thoughts are too dirty! Then I'll go first, and you play slowly. ”

Zhang Chu waved his hand, the people in the club did not have the villain's provocation, everyone got along okay, even if the people who had never spoken were smiling when they met.

Picking up the water cup and drinking water while walking towards the locker room, Zhang Chu is not suitable for changing clothes now, he just wants to go home and take a shower quickly.

There are not many lockers in the locker room, but the first person can use a small nameplate to hang on the lock of the locker to indicate that it is occupied, Zhang Chu opened the lock and took the mobile phone, keys and clothes in his hand, and slowly walked outside.

"It's strange, what is Director Xu looking for me?"

He looked at the screen of his mobile phone and talked to himself, just now Xu Ji called him three times, and after finding that no one answered, he sent a text message again, asking Zhang Chu if he had time to meet and chat tonight.

Could it be for the sequel to the "Psychological Crime" movie?

Zhang Chu silently thought in his heart, if Old Man Xu came to be a lobbyist, should he agree or refuse?

Anyway, the old man's face still has to be given, Zhang Chu replied with a message and said, "No problem, I will be on time." ”

Driving home, he ordered a takeout for himself in the elevator, he was a little hungry after exercising, and the time agreed by Mr. Xu was eight o'clock in the evening, and he had to eat something.

He opened the door, and without saying a word, took off his wet clothes and threw them in the laundry basket, then went shirtless to the closet to find clean clothes and went to the bathroom to start rinsing.

Most of the men took a shower relatively quickly, and in less than ten minutes, Zhang Chu took a hair dryer and began to dry his hair.

Matcha seemed to be a little afraid of the whirring sound of the wind, and hid in the door and poked her head out, not daring to step in!

Zhang Chu put on the blower, he was a little hesitant, what clothes should he wear tonight, should he be a little more formal, after all, the place invited by Xu Ji is a theater.

This made him quite puzzled, there are still people who go to the theater these days!

After thinking about it for a while, it was really difficult to choose, so he grabbed a polo shirt and put it on his body, and then Zhang Chu sat and waited for the takeaway.

As for what Xu Ji is looking for himself, he will know when he goes, and there is no need to worry about it now.

After waiting for half an hour, the takeaway brother was late, and Zhang Chu was already hungry enough to eat a whole sheep!

Matcha actually squatted on the dining table, looking at Zhang Chu with blank eyes, but he didn't move at all, and swept away these home-cooked dishes in one go, making Matcha aggrieved and angry.

"You're home by yourself tonight, I'll get you a pack of snacks and come back later to play with you. ”

Estimating that there would definitely be a traffic jam on the road, Zhang Chu decided to leave early to save being late.

……

However, he still underestimated the congestion of the imperial capital, and he went out before seven o'clock, and according to the anti-congestion navigation of the map, he still was still almost five minutes late!

The antique red lanterns of the Zhengyi Ancestral Hall have been lit, there are drums and pianos in the courtyard, and there are flowers in the garden this season.

As a theater with a history of more than 300 years, it still looks similar to that of the Kangxi period, with a wooden structure facing north and south, and a two-story stage facing north and south.

The four corners of the column, the upper ceiling in the middle of the patio, leading to the attic above, with a square hole and a hook, for the actors who play the gods and monsters to rise and fall or various background decorations.

The stage is hollow under the slab and has a basement, which improves the acoustics and allows the actors to escape from below.

This is probably the most complete and literary old theater in the old Yanjing City!

It is estimated that the performance time is approaching, and the entire theater is almost full of people, which is quite a bit of a scene of watching a big drama in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

After Zhang Chu reported the name of Director Xu Ji, he was guided to the box on the second floor, where Mr. Xu was drinking tea with a retro teacup, and beside him was the assistant director Jiang Hua!

"Could it be that the old man is not a lobbyist for psychological crimes, but a lobbyist for Wukong?" Zhang Chu's heart moved by chance, Jiang Hua had taken the initiative to find himself and wanted to shoot Wukong's biography before.

After Xu Ji saw Zhang Chu, he smiled and beckoned: "Come and sit, the show will start in two minutes." ”

Zhang Chu was not restrained, he sat on the polished wooden chair and looked at the stage below, only to see that there was nothing on the line, only curiously asked: "Old Xu, what kind of play are you singing today?"

"Today is Farewell My Concubine, tomorrow is the Peony Pavilion, and the day after tomorrow is Mei Lan Fanghua, all of which are classic excerpts of the Mei School. ”

However, Zhang Chu, who has never watched Peking Opera, is a little confused, and it seems that he has found the wrong person to watch the play by himself, and he doesn't know how to appreciate it at all.

Just as he wanted to ask, he found that Jiang Hua's beard on one side was uneven, and the whole person looked very decadent, as if he hadn't found himself coming in at all.

"Old Xu, what's wrong with Teacher Jiang Hua?

After hearing Zhang Chu's voice, the main owner, Jiang Hua, raised his head blankly, covered his face with some shame and said: "Since the last premiere, I went back and watched "The Legend of Wukong" several times, but when I wanted to change it to the script, I didn't know how to start. After tossing for so many days, I figured out that this adaptation was too difficult, and I thought it was just an ordinary Journey to the West story. ”

The lover is so haggard, is he tortured by himself?

Zhang Chu hurriedly replied: "Teacher Jiang, don't worry, if you want to do it, just do it, if you don't want to do it, forget it." ”

"Xiao Jiang is a person, he is easy to drill the horns. Xu Ji sighed, "If you can't do it, you can't do it, you're about to trap people, so I asked you to come out and persuade him." ”

Obviously, Jiang Hua is already in his thirties and forties, and he has to let Zhang Chu, a young man, persuade him, Zhang Chu opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

From beginning to end, I haven't asked Jiang Hua to adapt, and now a large number of people of age have actually come out of this state, which is really unacceptable.

"Teacher Jiang Hua, "The Legend of Wukong" is biased towards the stream of consciousness, and it is very difficult to adapt. Otherwise, after a few days, when I'm free, the two of us will rewrite a new Journey to the West movie script together, which will also include these main characters and relationships. ”

Anyway, I promise not to have money, throw it out first!

"Re-write?" Jiang Hua's eyes gradually became focused, no longer so divergent, "What kind of story are you re-writing?"

Zhang Chu just made a casual promise, and did not intend to fulfill it: "Journey to the West story, you see I wrote the Journey to the West diary and the biography of Wukong, and now I have a different experience of Journey to the West." But I've been quite busy lately, so I'll tell you more about that story when I'm done, what do you think?"

"Really, then I'll be waiting for you!"

"Definitely. Zhang Chu has already made up his mind, this kind of hot yam must not be touched in the future, and he is completely looking for trouble for himself.

Xu Ji on the side gave him a grateful look, and said, "Okay, okay, don't talk about it for the two of you, the actor is about to go on stage, watch the play quietly!"

has been a person for two lifetimes, Zhang Chu has never watched Peking Opera once, and can only sing a few words of rap face, what blue-faced Dou Erdun steals the royal horse, red-faced Guan Gongzhan Changsha and the like.

Now that he wants to accompany Xu Ji to watch the play, he doubts that he can stick to it, and will it be too rude to play with his mobile phone?
