Chapter 185: Apprenticeship

Anyway, in the end, I still coaxed the old man, which is good, there is nothing wrong.

Then I took about two days of classes, and on Friday, Lin Mu pondered for a while, and took advantage of the weekend to go to Mei Baojiu's house to meet him, after all, he promised people.

Besides, if you have learned a little something, you can come back and show off in front of the old man and sing him a few words, right?

Lin Mu made a phone call to Mei Baojiu and made an appointment to visit him at his home on Saturday morning, and he agreed.

After school on Friday afternoon, Lin Mu went out, what to do, prepare gifts.

Although Mei Baojiu said that he didn't want to apprentice to a teacher, you can't really say nothing, after all, this is an apprenticeship!

Lin Mu went to buy a little tonic or something, and bought a lot for the old man by the way, and when he came back, the old man scolded Lin Mu for being a loser, but Lin Mu knew that he was actually quite happy, not to mention anything else, just from the fact that he took all the things away.

This person, when he gets old, he begins to become like a child, although the old man makes a lot of money, most of the time he is also quite shrewd.

But the fathers of the world are like this in terms of their children, and they pity the hearts of parents all over the world!

Lin Mu prepared the things he needed and went to rest.

The next day, early in the morning, the old man and Lin Huiru got up to open the store, and he also got up, and after breakfast, he went up according to the address given by Mei Baojiu.

Mei Baojiu's side of life is still close to the Forbidden City, or a courtyard, although the courtyard is not as magical as in later generations, but it is amazing to be able to live here, and it can be seen that his family background is really good.

Lin Mu parked the car when he got there, then went to the trunk to take out the things, and carried the things into the alley.

After walking a few steps, Lin Mu saw Mei Baojiu standing at an intersection waving at him, and Lin Mu hurriedly ran over, "Teacher." ”

Mei Baojiu looked at Lin Mu and nodded with satisfaction, "Well, come with me! Don't bring anything next time, let's not do this!"

"Hey!" Lin Mu said, thinking in his heart that he would still have to bring it with him, buy some tea or something, people of their age like it.

Mei Baojiu walked all the way through the forest, this is the horror of the courtyard, which is a bit of a mystery when it turns around.

After turning a shadow wall, it suddenly opened up, a huge courtyard, and there were two trees planted in the courtyard, and a circle of houses.

Lin Mu noticed that there were a lot of people in the house, and Mei Baojiu took him directly in.

When he arrived at the house, Mei Baojiu turned around and stretched out his hand, Lin Mu handed over the things, he took it, and then handed it to a middle-aged woman standing at the door.

Lin Mu pondered that this should be his wife, and was about to say hello when he heard Mei Baojiu speak.

"This is Li Shengsu, your senior sister, who mainly sings Tsing Yi. ”

Lin Mu was embarrassed, and hurriedly said hello, "Hello, senior sister!"

The woman nodded, smiled and turned to put her things away, Mei Baojiu came in with Lin Mu, and then sat down on the chair in the middle of the hall.

"Before apprenticeship, I have to tell you about the situation of our faction, although I said that I don't force you to be a theater actor, but this is a little respect and belief for inheritance. ”

Lin Mu nodded, "Well, you speak." ”

Mei Baojiu nodded with satisfaction, "Well, it's good......"

"Our faction is called the Mei faction by outsiders, mainly a combination of Tsing Yi, Hua Dan and Dao Ma Dan performance methods, in singing, reading, doing, dancing, music, clothing, appearance and other aspects, continuous innovation and development, developed to the present. ”

"At first, it started with my father, your master, Mr. Mei Lanfang. ”

Mei Baojiu stretched out his hand and arched his hand when he said this, and then continued.

"The operas that my father learned from Mr. Wu Lingxian at the beginning were basically the enlightened operas of Peking Opera Tsing Yi Yinggong, and then what he learned from Mr. Chen Delin and Wang Yaoqing were also traditional old operas with rules and regulations. ”

"But he can master everything, and become a generation of grandmasters, do you know what he relies on?"

Lin Mu saw him looking at him, and hurriedly shook his head, "I don't know." ”

"Innovation! Absorb the essence of others and innovate on the basis of self, so he can do it. ”

Mei Baojiu smiled slightly when he said this, "Then do you know why I plan to take you as an apprentice?"

Lin Mu shook his head again, he was really confused, just because of his appearance or voice?

Mei Baojiu bowed slightly, "It's because of your singing voice, I think your voice is very spiritual!"

It's that sentence, "Love and hate are in an instant", the voice is very clear, and it's not a traditional singing tone, which makes me feel very inspired, and I think accepting you may make me understand. ”

"And you are indeed quite suitable for anti-string Tsing Yi, me, and my father, Mr. Mei Lanfang is best at anti-stringing, you don't have any pressure!"

"Speaking of which, I am often invited to give lectures at the Central Academy of Drama, and I also know that you have this training to liberate your nature, in fact, it is a good choice to reverse Tsing Yi. ”

Lin Mu nodded, "Indeed!"

What he said was true, anti-costume girl, he was actually quite stressed that day, and when he thought about it afterwards, he still felt a little goosebumps all over his body.

At this time, Li Shengsu came over with a dinner plate and a cup of tea on it.

Mei Baojiu opened his mouth at this time and said, "Originally, our pear orchard apprenticeship is very complicated, inviting celebrities, worshipping heaven and earth, worshipping ancestors, serving tea and kowtowing, and returning gifts to ......"

"But considering that you're not fully committed to the industry, I think it's better for you to keep it simple. ”

"Toast a cup of tea and worship the ancestor, and it will be considered a start. ”

After Mei Baojiu finished speaking, Li Shengsu came over to Lin Mu's side with a plate, "Senior brother, serve tea!"

Lin Mu was slightly stunned, stretched out his hands and picked up the teacup, and then respectfully sent it to Mei Baojiu.

"Master, please use tea!"

Mei Baojiu nodded with satisfaction, reached out to take it, took a sip, and then put it down.

"Follow me!"

Mei Baojiu took Lin Mu to his study, took a few books that looked a little yellowed, and handed them to him.

"These are some codexes I wrote when I was younger, and they should be of great help to you now. ”

"Take it back and take a good look at it, and when you're done, you can come to me at home, or you can go to the theater troupe to find me, and I'll teach you other things when the time comes." ”

Lin Mu stretched out his hand to take it and nodded, "Okay!"

It seems that it is not easy to do anything, Lin Mu sighed in his heart.

After handing over the codex to Lin Mu, Mei Baojiu suddenly answered a phone call, and suddenly something happened and asked Li Shengsu to entertain Lin Mu, and Lin Mu also hurriedly made an excuse and left in a hurry.

Leaving Meifu, Lin Mu got into the car, looked at the things on the codex casually, then shook his head, and put it on the co-pilot on the side, planning to look at it when he got home.

But as soon as he started the car, the phone rang.
