Chapter 16: Reluctant Invitation

Looking at Yan Wen's seemingly immature, but extremely resolute face---- Chu Yating suddenly understood that perhaps because she had a different childhood experience from other children since she was a child, the world Yan Wen saw in her eyes may be fundamentally different from the world she lives in!

He is actually a stranger to himself!

After all, we have only known each other for two days!

"Alright, don't be cruel! don't you want to go see those big horns, hurry up!"

Chu Yating gradually stabilized the unfair emotions in her heart!

Since I can't persuade him, let's talk about it later, anyway, the two of them live together now! If you can, it's better to change his concept subtly!

As she spoke, Chu Yating stretched out her white and tender soft twing, took the initiative to take Yan Wen's big hand, and walked quickly towards the backstage!

Yan Wen smiled lightly, didn't say anything, and let Chu Yating lead him!

Big horns?

Don't let him down!

——————

There is a huge difference between the backstage of Liyuan and the backstage of ordinary performing arts!

The division of labor is clear, and the dignity and humility are clear!

This is the most direct feature of the opera backstage!

Qin Ning's sons and young masters, these big horns invited from Pingjing and Jizhong do not have professional troupes hosted by the state or locality, but they are also some folk troupes that shuttle through various small theaters!

It's just that compared to the grass platform team that Yan Wen stayed in when he was a child, it is still much more advanced and formal!

Since Yan Xiyan established the "Yancang Society" in Pingjing 30 years ago, bringing the Peking Opera troupe back to the small theater, thus bringing about the second prosperity of the opera art, such folk troupes have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and gradually sprouted a unique vitality!

And today, the "Yuejia class" who came to the "Wuhua Pavilion" to sing for Chu Yating is the best of these folk troupes!

These so-called "folk troupes" that have re-emerged in the new era are all managed in strict accordance with the rules of the old opera troupes in the most glorious period of Peking Opera art troupes three hundred years ago!

After entering the backstage, Yan Wen directly found the coat box of the "Yuejia Class", pinched three sandalwood sticks in front of the box, and burned incense to hang the watch - this is the rule!

Then, under the leadership of the coat box (here refers to the person who manages the coat box), I first met with the general manager of the backstage of the "Yue Family Class" - this is also the rule!

The chief steward of the backstage of the drama troupe is generally served by some respected old actors!

The manager must have a lot of stage experience, know a lot of things, and have enough qualifications!

In such an age, it is not easy to find such an old gentleman to be the chief steward!

For example, the general manager of the "Yancang Society" of the Yan family class was served by Mr. Guo Zhongwen Guo, the mentor of the "Second Master Yan" Yan Xiwen!

It wasn't until Yan Xiyan had an accident that the "Yancang Society" was forced to disband, and the old man returned to his hometown in Huizhou to live for a long time!

As the leader of the folk class in the new era, the chief steward of the "Yuejia class" is not an ordinary person!

Zong Huchen, I want to be the old director of the Pingjing Peking Opera Company, an old gentleman known as the "first ugly man in the world"!

The moment he saw Zong Lao, not only Yan Wen, an insider, but even Chu Yating, a "supernumerary" of Liyuan Bank, was also very surprised!

"You two are ——?"

Holding a purple sand teapot in his hand, Zong Huchen looked at the man and woman who suddenly appeared in front of him, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously!

Not to mention, how can the old man be around eighty, but there is no trace of old age!

As the saying goes: you can't eat in the kitchen, and you can't go into the back hall when you watch a play!

Coming to the Qinning Singing Hall, the chief steward of the "Yuejia Class" really didn't expect that there would be peers among the people listening to the play, and they would be interested in visiting their backstage!

One was Yan Wen and Zhang Luo who were coming, so Chu Yating didn't follow the words of the sect protector, but tilted her head slightly and looked at Yan Wen beside her!

I heard that your society is setting up a stage here, so I came to pay a visit!"

Yan Wen stepped forward, bowed his hand slightly to the sect protector, and said thoughtfully!

"The old man is disrespectful, dare to ask the young brother about the surname of the table?"

As soon as the Sect Protector saw that this young man was an insider, he didn't take the posture of an elder, and asked quite seriously!

"The younger generation's surname is Yan, and the single name is a Wen character!"

Yan Wen paused slightly, and said in a sonorous tone to introduce himself!

The eldest husband will not change his name, and he will not change his surname!

Besides, just like Yan Wen himself said, since he has already walked out of the three eastern provinces, he has no intention of hiding his origin with Ben!

"But Yan of the 'Yancang Society'?"

Listening to Yan Wen proudly report to himself, a light suddenly flashed in the slightly cloudy old eyes of the sect protector!

"Hehehe, it's Yan Xiyan!"

Yan Wen chuckled and nodded!

"Young brother is really a famous family? Oh yes! That despicable society is really slack!"

Getting a positive answer from Yan Wen, Sect Protector hurriedly bowed down and saluted him, expecting to be more polite than before!

was so shocked that Yan Wen and Chu Yating waved their hands again and again!

They knew that the reason why the old gentleman was like this was not because of Yan Wen, but because of his father Yan Xiyan!

The so-called: there is no high or low art, the master is the first!

For Yan Xiyan, the "Emperor of Peking Opera" who has injected fresh vitality into Peking Opera and even the entire Liyuan Tour, even an old man like Zong Huchen is very respectful!

"Young brother, oh, and this girl!

After greeting each other politely for a while, Zong Huchen looked at Chu Yating, who had been following Yan Wen and had not spoken, and asked suspiciously!

"How dare you give advice?" Yan Wen replied modestly with a wave of his hand, "It's the kid who asks for you!"

"Say, say!" Zong Huchen laughed and said, "They are all away from home, don't they just rely on their families to help each other?

Yan Wen smiled slightly when he heard this, and nodded lightly!

"Old sir, that's the case---- your sons invited your club to come to Qinning, just to give my sister a singing party! The kid thinks that if it's convenient for your club, the kid will ask the old gentleman for a chance to come on stage! Even if you run around, you can do martial arts or something! Hehe, how to say it, it's just to make my sister happy, and standing on the stage is a good idea! I hope that Mr. will be successful!"

The words are carefully considered, and Yan Wen is also very sincere and polite!

Zong Huchen listened to Yan Wen's request, but did not directly agree, but only frowned, thought carefully for a long time, and then stretched his eyebrows, nodded and said!

"The young brother smiled for Bo Jiaren, but he can be regarded as a caring person, how can the old decay not be the beauty of an adult?

Speaking of this, the sect protector pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he was thinking about it!

After a while, he slapped his palm suddenly, looked at Yan Wen's expectant gaze, and said with a smile!

"It's better to be like this! There are a total of three children's dramas in this church, and the first hat drama is the old and rotten gangster's "Three Forks"", this can't be moved! But the "Bead Curtain Village" that came out on the second one, the second-way old student who stringed Cheng Jingsi in the disdainful society, just fell into his throat in the past two days! To be honest, you have done us a great favor when you came! Look, or you will be wronged and wronged, and Cheng Jingsi will be on the side, how about it?"

"I can't ask for it!"

Yan Wen smiled, hugged his fists and said!
