042 Choose makeup, Spring and Autumn Pavilion
"Good words! Graceful and beautiful, soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, dignified in shape, like a rich son, with a graceful demeanor! I didn't expect Xiaolou that you are not only good at singing, but also have such attainments in calligraphy, amazing, really amazing!"
Tao Zhiqiu cautiously took the script handed over by Cheng Xiaolou, and when he saw the three words "Suo Lin Bag" on the cover, his eyes instantly lit up and praised him sincerely.
The third sister Qiao and the others around him looked down when they heard the sound, and sure enough, they saw that the words on the cover of the play were neat and rigorous, but they were beautiful and gentle, and they had a different style.
Although they didn't have much research on calligraphy, they could still see that Cheng Xiaolou's handwriting was indeed beautiful.
"Mr. Tao has won the award. ”
Cheng Xiaolou smiled modestly and didn't explain much.
If someone who was proficient in calligraphy on the earth in a previous life saw his handwriting, he would surely be able to see the origin of this handwritten script at a glance.
Cheng Xiaolou began to practice calligraphy at the age of four under the supervision of his grandfather, an hour a day without interruption, he has practiced this hand Zhao body for more than 30 years, although he does not say that he has a glimpse of the essence, but he has also practiced seven or eight points of fire.
This hand Zhao Ti is also one of the few foundations that Cheng Xiaolou can take.
Strictly speaking, the script he gave Tao Zhiqiu for "Suolin Bag" is also an abridged version, only the first fold of "Choosing Makeup (Lian)" and the second fold of "Spring and Autumn Pavilion", as for the content of the later "Guining", "Zhu Lou", "Three Chairs" and "Great Reunion", the content of the four-fold play is not in the script.
In Cheng Xiaolou's opinion, the rehearsal of the two folds of "Choosing Makeup" and "Spring and Autumn Pavilion" took about half an hour, and it was almost the same as a play alone, so he couldn't just come to Yulang and take up all the time for others.
And to rehearse and perform the whole play, seven days is too tight, at least more than half a month.
For such a long time, Cheng Xiaolou and Duan Lanquan couldn't wait, the two of them added up to less than five hundred yuan, and they really waited until half a month later to get into the account, and it was estimated that they would be hungry for a long time.
Of course, there is the most important point, that is, as Duan Lanquan said, the heart of guarding against others is indispensable, and you must always leave some hole cards for yourself, so that you can advance and retreat freely in the future.
Only the first two folds of the play "Suo Lin Bag" is less than ten pages long, and this also includes the last two pages of the score.
Everyone present except Cheng Xiaolou and Duan Lanquan surrounded Tao Zhiqiu, and they only watched the script for more than ten minutes.
"Good play, it's really a rare masterpiece, I believe that within three days after the start of this play, it will inevitably become the most popular drama in the entire Mianshan City!"
After closing the script, Tao Zhiqiu's excited eyes lit up, and he pinched the script with both hands, as if he was afraid that it would suddenly grow wings and fly away.
Not only him, but also the third sister and others who had also read the content of the play were also very excited. When Tao Zhiqiu closed the script, they all looked up at Cheng Xiaolou with a tacit understanding, and their eyes were like a vicious wolf seeing a sheep, and a pervert seeing a woman without clothes, faintly emitting green light.
Even Yulang's leading third sister, Hua Danqiao, looked at him with a sense of longing, and almost didn't write the words "I want" on her face.
Cheng Xiaolou's thoughts of these people are like a mirror in his heart, and he naturally knows that they have taken a fancy to the characters in the play.
In addition to the heroine Xue Xiangling in the play "Suolin Bag", Zhao Shouzhen, the daughter of a poor man who married Xue Xiangling on the same day and met in the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, and the two scenes of the maid Meixiang are also very outstanding, and there is a great possibility that they will become popular with this play.
In addition to the two female roles of Zhao Shouzhen and Mei Xiang, there is also an old student and a few clowns, although they cannot be compared with the two roles of Zhao Shouzhen and Mei Xiang, but as long as they are good enough, there is still a certain chance of being brilliant.
Cheng Xiaolou understood that the peers of this dry Yulang theater must have taken a fancy to the characters in the play, and Tao Zhiqiu naturally saw this.
Before calling to invite him to Yulang to take the stage, in fact, Tao Zhiqiu carefully understood the specific situation of Xiaolou in the process, and of course knew that he had no team.
So theoretically speaking, all the roles in this "Suo Lin Bag" except for the heroine Xue Xiangling will fall on the heads of these actors in Yulang Theater nine times out of ten.
Tao Zhiqiu saw that the group of people under his hands were faintly a little impatient, so he simply gritted his teeth and asked with a cheeky smile: "Xiaolou, I guess you should also consider the role in the play, you see that we have all the ugly people here, although only the third sister and Yulihong can be called the top corners, but the others are also old people in the industry, and they have a lot of experience on the stage. ”
Hearing him say this, most of them nodded vigorously with bright eyes, their eyes full of hope and longing.
"I understand what Mr. Tao and everyone mean, now I am also a member of Yulang, and I will be a family with you in the future, the purpose of I took out the script today, in fact, I also hope that you can take time out of your busy schedule to help me play across the knife. ”
Cheng Xiaolou smiled faintly, and did not whet everyone's appetite, and said something humble and polite.
It's always right to be humble and polite when you first arrive, anyway, he doesn't have his own team under his hands, and he can only count on these people in Yulang for cross-knife playing.
In this case, it is better to agree generously in public to be a favor, and have the right to make a good fate, and it will be easier to mix in the theater in the future.
"Boss Cheng is bright, let alone Mianshan City with your bearing, I don't think there are many people who can compare to you even in the provincial capital. ”
"Thank you Boss Cheng for your support, you can speak if you have something in the future. ”
"It is our blessing to have the honor to give Boss Cheng a cross-knife. ”
......
As soon as Cheng Xiaolou said this, without waiting for Tao Zhiqiu to speak, the people behind him were excited and rushed to make a statement.
"Xiaolou, thank you in advance. ”
Cheng Xiaolou politely bowed his hand to the excited crowd, paused, and then raised his tone by two points and continued: "But there are only so many roles in the play, it is really impossible for everyone to have a share, as for the final decision who will play which role, I will choose the most suitable person according to the actual needs of this play, and if anyone fails to get their favorite role, please bear with me." ”
"Boss Cheng, don't worry, we all understand this. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall man showed a mouthful of big white teeth and replied with a smile.
"Yes, you don't have to worry about this Xiaolou, you can give everyone the role in the play, in the end, whether you are selected or not, they will definitely only be grateful and will not have half a complaint. ”
Tao Zhiqiu also patted his chest and assured.
