Chapter 081: Meet Jin Shijie
The celebration lasted until 11 o'clock in the evening, and the fans who came to participate in the celebration left satisfied, and Li Xiang and his party dragged their tired bodies back to their respective rooms.
At 10 o'clock in the morning the next day, Li Xiang asked for a driver with the prestige person and rushed to the National Taiwan University of Arts.
The morning rush hour in the north is no different from the first-tier cities in the mainland, just after the morning rush hour at 10 o'clock, the road is quite smooth, and the driver drove into Taiyi in less than 30 minutes.
"Hey, Mr. Jin, where are you? I'm not familiar with this place, I'm on the school square. Okay, I'll be waiting for you right here!" Li Xiang called the other party.
After a while, a woman in her thirties came from the east, not very beautiful, but very attractive, with the temperament of a good wife and mother.
"You're director Li Xiang, right? I'm a student of Mr. Jin, and my name is Tu Guping. "The woman's voice is very good, Wanwan Mandarin sounds very soft and glutinous, which makes people feel very comfortable, such as Li Xiang's favorite sister Zhilin, but the same old man is a little strange.
"Hello Sister Tu!" Li Xiang greeted Tu Guping with a smile, it turned out to be Mr. Jin's future wife.
"The teacher asked me to pick you up and take you to the theater, he is rehearsing the play, and he can't leave for the time being, I'm sorry. Sister Tu thought of an apology to Li first and explained the reason.
"It's okay, Sister Tu, you can take me to see Teacher Jin!"
"Okay, you come with me. ”
The two walked for a few minutes, and then came to the small theater of Taiyi, and under the guidance of Tu Guping, Li Xiang came to the backstage of the theater.
A group of stage actors were rehearsing at the moment, and next to this group of people, there was a middle-aged man in his fifties, who was watching their performance intently.
This person's hair is half bald, his face is wrinkled, but his eyes are very bright, and the whole person looks very kind, which is the focus of Li Xiang's trip - Mr. Jin Shijie.
Speaking of Mr. Jin Shijie, in fact, mainland audiences are familiar with him from Wei Zhongxian in "Embroidered Spring Knife", and Mr. Jin also won the Golden Horse Best Supporting Actor award that year with his wonderful interpretation of this role.
But Li Xiang liked him a little earlier, because Li Xiang was a fan of Aunt Qingxia, and he had watched every Aunt Qingxia movie, even including those romance movies starring in Taiwan in the early days.
It was also in the movie "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" starring Aunt Qingxia in 92 that Li Xiang met and fell in love with Jin Shijie and Li Liqun.
Later, I also listened to a lot of dramas starring them, including the drama version of "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" and Li Xiang's favorite "This Night, Who Says Cross Talk".
Mr. Jin, the drama they are rehearsing now will also be performed in the mainland in the future, and Li Xiang has also seen it, which is based on the famous suspense master Hitchcock's movie "39 Steps", called "Step by Step Laughter".
The reason why I am deeply impressed by this drama is because the 48 roles involved in the whole play are only completed by four actors, that is, Jin Shijie, plus the other three people he is watching - Tian Xin, Bo Xueliang, and Liu Liangzuo.
Tian Xin is one of Li Xiang's favorite Wanwan actresses, and mainland audiences may be familiar with her back to Ah Jing in the TV series "No. 8 Pawnshop" in which she and Du Dewei collaborated.
Li Xiang likes her not because of her superb acting skills, but purely because she is also a ball king-level actress, Li Xiang didn't steal her photo album on the Internet when he was in high school, think about it at that time, he was also bohemian and loved freedom!
Li Xiang watched from the side for a while, and Tu Guping went to say hello to Jin Shijie, and Jin Shijie also saw Li Xiang who was watching with interest.
"Hello Director Li, I'm Jin Shijie!" At the end of the scene, Jin Shijie came over and took the initiative to shake hands with Li Xiang and say hello.
"Hello Mr. Jin, your drama is quite interesting. Although Li Xiang watched "Step by Step Laughter" in his previous life, it was more than 20 years ago, and it is still interesting to rewatch it now.
"It's still early, it's still being polished, and it's optimistic that it won't be shown to the audience until the end of next year!" "I remember correctly, the future is also the end of 09, and "Step by Step Laughter" will start in the north.
Mr. Jin is not an actor of a certain troupe, he is usually mainly responsible for acting teaching in Taiyi, and at other times, in addition to the current Goto Theater where he rehearses "Step by Step Laughter", the most well-known to the audience is Lai Shengchuan's performance workshop, where Mr. Jin was also known by the Wanwan audience with "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring".
However, Goto Theater is not unknown, and the most famous performance group is not actors, but singers.
Like the famous Taiwanese singer-songwriter who is also Ah Mei's teacher, Zhang Yusheng is a member of this team, and there is also Cai Qin, a famous female singer on Treasure Island, who is also affiliated with the Goto Theater.
Of course, the actors are not far behind, but they are not as famous as Zhang Cai, Jin Shijie and Li Liqun are the mainstays of this team.
"I don't think it's too early, why don't you let me invite you to lunch, you bring Sister Tu, let's talk about it again?" Li Xiang looked at his watch and it was almost half past eleven, so he simply invited Mr. Jin to have a meal and talk while eating.
Teacher Jin Shijie looked at Li Xiang with a strange expression, and said in his heart, How did this kid know that Xiao Tu and I were in love? The two had been very low-key before they got married, and even the later weddings were not made a big deal, and the friends who attended their weddings even denied it, and it was low-key enough.
"Okay, I'll talk to them. Mr. Jin was probably afraid that his remaining hair would become less because of thinking, so he didn't think about it anymore and decisively agreed to Li Xiang.
The last time I came to Gaobei, I didn't have a good taste of the food here, this time I can't treat myself badly, Li Xiang has long been in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and his friends have inquired about the delicious things that are there.
Li Xiang Bincheng people, seafood or something has been eaten since childhood, I like it very much, and the aquatic products here are also known for their freshness, which is naturally very suitable for Li Xiang's appetite.
There was no obstacle to reading traditional Chinese characters, Li Xiang ordered some of his favorites, and ordered a few more of Mr. Jin's favorites, and chatted with Mr. Jin before the food was served.
"Mr. Jin, I especially like your performance, especially the Jiangbin Willow in the Peach Blossom Garden, I really never get tired of watching it!"
"Thank you, Director Li... Otherwise, a busy person like you would not have come to me with dignity. Jin Shijie knew that Li wanted to find him, it was definitely not as simple as just getting acquainted, but fortunately he picked out the topic.
