Of course, there was a lot of competition in this line of work, which he only felt after he went in.

He has a high vision, so he specially looks for a troupe with a good reputation and a large scale to apply.

The first one I went to was one of the most famous in the county.

The leader of the troupe glanced at him, pointed to the piano next to him and said, "Let's play a song first." ”

He carefully moved the piano on the table aside, took his own out, and began to play.

After the song, the head of the troupe was a little moved - his piano skills are still very good, and he has a detached bearing when he strokes the piano.

So the head of the troupe asked him about his specific situation.

Knowing that he was still a scholar, the head of the troupe was very moved and immediately hired him.

After being hired, the head of the troupe said to him: "Some plays don't use your soundtrack, so sometimes only a few scenes need to use you in a month, and sometimes you need to use several scenes in a row, so you have to look at luck in this business." ”

He said, "I know." ”

The head of the troupe smiled and said, "But you feel quite good when you play the piano, if there is such a role in the future, you can try it." ”

He hurriedly thanked him.

The head of the troupe asked, "Do you know how to write music?" Writing music can make more money than soundtracks, and it doesn't affect your work. ”

When he thought about it, he thought it was good, anyway, if he had an extra income, his family would be able to live a little more comfortably, so he immediately agreed.

So, from that day on, when there was no soundtrack, he nested in the backstage of the troupe to write tunes.

A month later, he wrote his first opera, "Cloud Bounds", which received widespread attention as soon as it was performed.

The head of the troupe saw that he still had some talent, so he asked him to write a few more, and said that he could get 10% of the income from the performance of each opera he wrote.

In this way, as long as the opera he wrote is a hit, he doesn't have to worry about his income, so he nodded and agreed, and signed a contract with the head of the troupe.

Gradually, the music he wrote spread out, so within half a year he became a well-known opera artist in the county.

During this period, he also went to score music whenever he needed it, but because the people who scored the music were all in the backstage or in the shadows of the stage, even if his piano skills were good, no one noticed him because of this.

And the operas he wrote became more and more famous day by day.

The head of the opera troupe said to him, "Why don't you write opera from today on?" and said: "Now that the opera you have written has made you famous in the county, you should strike while the iron is hot and spread this reputation in one go, so that your fame may spread to the capital in less than two years, and then you will be a famous opera artist in our country."

At that time, even if you don't want to work in our troupe, you will definitely not have to worry about having nowhere to go, and after you have a reputation, your income will rise gradually, and you will be able to gain fame and fortune in a few years. ”

He felt that what the head of the troupe said was indeed reasonable.

Although writing opera is not his forte, judging from the few films he has written so far, it can be seen that he does have some talent in this area, in this case, it is undoubtedly a wise choice for him to work hard in this area.

But if he writes opera, he won't have time to practice, and his piano skills will always stagnate. His initial desire was to become a top luthier, and after going through so many detours, he thought that he could be very firmly committed to the art of the piano, but he didn't expect it.......

Truth be told, with his current reputation in opera, it seems that he should stick to this route, but that also means that he will have to give up his original dream again.

He couldn't make a decision right away, and he told the head of the troupe that it would take a few days to think about it.

In the next few days, he did not consult with his family, because he knew that his family would definitely support him to write opera full-time. He sat alone on the hillside behind the house, looking at the houses and mountains in the distance, making the finest measurements in his mind.

Is it to do what you like or is it easier to make money? If he chooses the former, he will have to accept the cruel test of reality, but of course, he will not be left to the point of not being able to eat, because he has an income after all. However, if you want to stick to what you love, you must make a realistic plan for advancement, otherwise you will end up in a state of stagnancy, not living and dying.

If you choose the latter, it is obviously a broader and easier path to take, because he is now well-known in opera. And he is also a little interested in writing opera, if he devotes himself to this area for a few more years, it is indeed possible to become famous all over the world.

What's more, for him at this stage, it is indeed more important to make money than to do what he likes.

After thinking about it, he decided to write opera full-time first.

He was thirty-five years old. He decided to succumb to reality first.

As a result, he devoted himself to writing opera for the next five years, and created many popular works. At this time, he finally tasted the sweetness of fame and fortune.

However, as the saying goes, no one is good for a thousand days, and no flower is red for a hundred days, his opera team has become famous all over the country because of his opera in the past five years, and everyone in the team has also been stained with light, and they have gained unprecedented fame and fortune.

During a performance, the opponent set up a game, which led to a court official who came to see the troupe's performance being plotted, and the spearhead was pointed at the head of the troupe, thinking that he still remembered the revenge of the court minister for refusing to help their troupe when it was the most difficult, so the entire troupe was arrested, and the head of the troupe was even forced to be charged with "deliberately/intentionally/plotted/killed" and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Some of the dialogues in the operas he wrote were also criticized as 'dissatisfied with the imperial court' and 'insinuating the monarch', so he was imprisoned for five years for betrayal.

He was forty years old.

He was indignant and wrote many letters to prove his innocence, but none of them could be delivered.

So, with no way to prove himself and complain, he had to endure his anger and go to prison for five years.

He was forty-five years old when he was released from prison.

Only then did he learn that his parents had died of illness while he was in prison, and that his wife had committed suicide because she could not bear the weight of life. As for his two children, some say they disappeared the day after his wife committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, and some say that they were seen led by a man down the side road of West Street.

Dear friends, a watch is coming. I hope you like the story told by Mr. Yuzi, which contains a lot of life philosophy. Originally, I wanted Teacher Yuzi to explain these life philosophies directly in class, but it would be more boring, so I simply used the form of storytelling.
