Chinese Opera Small Theater, its real name is Chinese Opera Experimental Theater, if you want to visit Nanluoguxiang, even if you don't watch drama performances, you also "have to" pass by here, gray and simple building façade, low-key, introverted, quietly standing at No. 39 Dongmian Hutong.

In the summer, the walls of the small theater will be crawling with green creepers, which is impressive, and now the creepers are no longer as in the middle of summer, but they are not all yellow.

The experimental theater was built in 1978, with more than 700 seats, a total of 22 rows, and a turntable with a diameter of 14 meters.

Every Chinese opera person will be so familiar with this experimental theater that they can't be more familiar with it, because there will be various plays staged here from time to time, students can get tickets for free, and at the end of the semester, some tickets will be sold for people outside the school to buy tickets to watch, of course, this is also very rare.

As a student of the acting department, I basically come here often, and it can be said that Zhou Bai's Chinese opera brothers and sisters have all grown up here, and this is the stage they are most familiar with.

"Every time I come here, I feel that the stage is so big, and I can't help but be excited, I used to watch the performances of my brothers and sisters, and I thought when it would be our turn, and now we can also rehearse and perform here. Zhou Bai said to Zeng Li beside him with a sigh.

"This stage is actually not too big, when I used to perform, the stage was much bigger than this, but I didn't expect that there would be fewer and fewer opportunities to perform later, so I applied for Chinese opera. Zeng Li looked around the small theater and said, remembering that there were only one or two performances a month before, and those days were simply tormenting.

"So you also like the feeling of the stage to finally apply for the Chinese opera, right?" asked Zhou Bai.

"This is just one of them, and I think it's boring to stay in the troupe, and I can't see a glimmer of hope, so I can't stay anymore. I don't have any plans as a man, and if I can stay, I'll keep staying. Zeng Li sighed and said that she is the kind of person who doesn't know how to plan herself and is more able to go with the flow.

"Then you are different from Yuan Xiang, Yuan Xiang seems to have come to the capital relatively early before, looking at your relationship, why do I think you have known each other for a long time, not just your fellow countrymen?" Zhou Bai thought of Yuan Xiang, and felt that she seemed to be more familiar with Zeng Li than herself.

"Yuan Yu and I are classmates of the Academy of Chinese Opera, both majoring in Tsing Yi, and she was assigned to a theater with me, but she left soon and stayed in the capital for a short time. Zeng Li seemed to say casually, seeing Zhou Bai mention Yuan Yan, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, and he was a little sour.

"No, you guys hide it too well, I said how do you feel so familiar with each other, I can't imagine that there is such a relationship, why have I never seen you mention it?" Zhou Bai was almost stunned, they never mentioned this matter, this was the first time he knew that they still had this relationship.

"You didn't ask us about the past, Yuan Yang is relatively quiet, and he won't talk to you about this. I have told 'Little Steel Cannon', Hu Yu, and Sister Ting, what is there to talk about with you boys. Zeng Li said with a smile, in fact, girls know about it, and boys are very arrogant, how can they care about this.

"You're sexist, why do you feel like you're still hiding a lot from me?" Zhou Bai protested.

"Of course, I won't tell you a lot of things, you don't inquire about girls, and you're not Jia Baoyu. Zeng Li patted Zhou Bai's shoulder and said disgustedly.

"......" Zhou Bai was speechless, why do girls have this problem, I will shoot it for you at every turn, Yuan Yang is like this, and Zeng Li is also like this.

"Don't talk about this, aren't you excited to see this stage? It's a rare opportunity to sing, and I want to enjoy your performance at tonight's rehearsal to see what you can sing after studying for so many years. Zhou Bai said with a smile, although he could see a scale and half a claw in the body and lines class, he had never heard Zeng Li sing seriously.

"It's like you know Peking Opera, you're a layman, sister, I can shock you by singing two sentences casually. Zeng Li glanced at him and said, Zhou Bai doesn't understand opera, whether it's good or not, can only be seen by laymen, and insiders can see the doorway.

"I have been humming a few sentences recently, and I think Peking Opera is still very charming, although I can't become an insider, there is definitely no problem in being a ticket holder. Zhou Bai explained that the drama he was exposed to more was Cantonese opera, as well as local Li opera, and Peking Opera only began to come into contact after coming to the capital, and he slowly liked it.

"It's a pity that I can only sing a part of today's rehearsal and tomorrow's performance, and I don't think I will have any chance to sing on stage in the future, and the drama is now in decline. Zeng Li said with some loss that after studying Peking Opera for so many years, it would be a lie to say that he didn't love it.

"It seems that I have to thank the opera for being lonely, otherwise I wouldn't have had a chance to meet you. Seeing Zeng Li's lost expression, Zhou Bai turned to smile and said.

This sentence made Zeng Li's face a little red, and she couldn't help but be a little shy, and then she gave him a blank look and said, "Who wants to know a fool like you, stupid." ”

"Yes, yes, this is my honor, for being able to recognize such a beautiful woman as you, this is a blessing that I have cultivated in my previous life. Zhou Bai patted his ass undisciplinedly.

"Giggles, that's pretty much it. Hey, you said that there is only one small theater in the school, isn't it too little, and the time for this row is so tight, if only there could be one more? Zeng Li was very satisfied with Zhou Bai's flattery of being a dog-legged person, and the more he looked at the small theater, the more he liked it, and felt that it would be a pity if he didn't have the opportunity to go on stage in the future.

"We have all hutongs here, and even if we want to increase the theater, it's only a theater that is smaller than here, and there are all hutongs nearby, so it's very difficult to build a new campus, so if we have a new campus, we might build more." Zhou Bai thought for a while and said, he knew that there would be a new campus in Chinese opera in the future, but they would not have the opportunity to go there this time.

In fact, what Zhou Bai didn't know was that even if the new campus was established, in the past, all the higher vocational classes over there were here, and the undergraduate classes were still here, after all, this is the inheritance of Chinese opera, and the excellent teachers have basically settled here, so the new campus still has to take its time.

In fact, the number of undergraduate classes in Chinese opera has always been very small, and they are really serious Chinese opera performance students, and many chaotic people in later generations claim to have graduated from the Chinese opera performance department, but in fact, they are a higher vocational class that recruits hundreds of people.

In fact, it's okay to talk about Chinese drama, but it's even worse on Nortel's side, this is a later story, and I won't mention it for the time being.

Speaking of theaters, there will be two subordinate theaters in the future, and the experimental theater has become one of them, but now there is only one, because the well-known North Theater was only leased by the Chinese opera in 05, and now it is also called the auditorium of the Ministry of Aviation, which is used to show movies.

This year, because the China Youth Art Theater does not have its own fixed performance venue, it leased and transformed the auditorium of the Ministry of Aviation into a theater for professional drama performances for temporary use, and changed its name to the Qingyi Small Theater, and the first program will have to wait until two years later, and the name of the program is "The Flower Girl".

In 05, because the Qingyi Small Theater went bankrupt after all kinds of bloody things, it was rented by the Chinese Opera and became the North Theater of the Chinese Opera, and after ten years of renting in the Chinese Theater, this theater finally became an express hotel, which is really embarrassing.
