Chapter Ninety-Eight: Cave Walk (4)

In less than two hours, the bus had already driven into Kuncheng.

Kuncheng Hotel is located in Kuncheng's most lively mass street nearby, three-star, is currently one of the most high-end hotels in Kuncheng.

As soon as the bus stopped, Ye Zi saw a long sign at the entrance of the lobby of the hotel through the car window: Warmly welcome the Shencheng Artists Performance Troupe to stay in the Kuncheng Hotel.

Hehe, it's all "artists"! Ye Zi was very funny and casually changed his mind, but immediately felt that he was full. He hurriedly took his luggage, followed the other actors, and stepped off the bus.

――――――――――

Ye Zi was arranged to live with Mr. Wu Junyu, a Sioux City commentator. Mr. Wu has just turned 60 this year and is at the peak of his artistic career.

As soon as he entered the room and put down his things, Ye Zi didn't have time to say hello to Mr. Wu, but the old man spoke first.

"Xiao Ye, Nai (Su Cheng dialect: your) new song "The Sound of the Waves Still" I have heard, and I am happy to cut down (good) with the song (this song). In the first (that) "Late Autumn" I am happy, Xiaoye, Nai (you) sang really wrong (good), and there are two (the two of us) who have time to talk about it. (ps: The following is written directly in Mandarin, and the translation is exhausted.) )

Mr. Wu sat on the sofa and said with a smile.

Ye Zi found the boiling water bottle, and while making tea for Mr. Wu, he hurriedly replied: "Mr. Wu, I can't bear your praise like this." ā€

Placing the brewed tea on the coffee table beside Mr. Wu, Ye Zi continued: "Teacher Wu, I will keep your encouragement firmly in my heart. I'm only eighteen years old now, and I've just made a little bit of success, and when I perform, I really hope that Mr. Wu can help me correct my shortcomings. ā€

Mr. Wu nodded his finger on the coffee table to express his gratitude, picked up the teacup and blew the foam and took a sip, then smiled and said: "I, Wu Junyu, have always had a word to say, I will say good if your song is good, you don't have to be modest." We are all open-mouthed eaters, and it is not good to be too modest, and we will be bullied by others. ā€

"As for the things on the show, what others say may not be suitable for you. I just want to tell you one thing, acting, acting, non-stop, until acting becomes the most natural and familiar thing in your life, and any problem will be solved. ā€

Mr. Wu's thinking is completely different from others. Ye Zi thought to himself, perhaps, this is the real reason why he was able to become a generation of Sioux City commentators.

――――――――――

In the afternoon, the platform is very smooth.

They are all a bunch of veteran actors, and everyone knows their requirements very well. The sound and lighting are also veterans of "old eating and doing", and it only took us just over an hour to complete the stage smoothly.

Ye Zi also looks very sophisticated, not at all like a newcomer who has just debuted. He hummed along with the accompaniment in a half-soft voice, walked around the stage, communicated with the sound engineer about a few things that needed attention, and then stepped off the stage.

The most serious rehearsal was the old love of the late twins, and the two songs were sung twice repeatedly, and it was over when I felt that there was no problem at all. However, Ye Zi knows that this is also their performance habit all along.

Mr. Wu didn't come to the stage at all. In his words, there is no need to walk on stage, as long as the microphone on stage can still ring, there will be no problems with the performance.

――――――――――

Dinner was simple.

Before the performance, there are not many actors who will eat and drink, especially tonight's performance is scheduled to start at half past seven, so no one will move their chopsticks much.

At half past six, all the actors gathered by Qian Liren had already gathered in the lounge backstage of the theater.

"None of you eat, right?" Qian Liren said with a smile: "After the performance in the evening, the leaders of their company invite everyone to dinner, and we will have a good meal then." Don't dare to say anything else, hairy crabs are definitely enough. Zhigang, don't you like hairy crabs the most? Let go of the belly and eat it at night. ā€

Zhou Zhigang, the most famous Yue Opera boy in Shencheng, smiled when he heard this: "It's like we haven't eaten hairy crabs, or I'll give you all the hairy crabs at night, how about you add a thousand meters to our nobody?" ā€

In addition to a few old artists who pride themselves on their identities, Zhou Zhigang's mention of yƬ has won unanimous applause from everyone.

Qian Liren gave up his hand again and again: "You just spare me, I'm a small business, I really can't afford it." ā€

"Hmph, I knew you were a money picker!" There will definitely be no one else besides Qin Zhu who speaks like this.

In Qian Liren's embarrassed expression, everyone laughed.

――――――――――

"Okay, okay," Qian Liren clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to be quiet: "I'll talk about the order of tonight." There are a total of eighteen programs, and the Kuncheng Song and Dance Troupe they invited themselves has an opening dance, twins, and the opening dance is followed by the two of you, no problem, right? ā€

"No problem, two songs are enough, right?" Boss Qin Yu replied loudly.

Qin Zhu muttered: "Why are we opening again?" Annoyed, every show called us open. ā€

"Who told you to lift your unkempt hair? If someone else can't lift their unkempt hair, it will be difficult to perform when the field is cold. That's worth looking at you! Zhou Zhigang smiled again.

"You prepare three." Qian Liren pretended not to hear Qin Zhu's muttering, and continued: "If the audience is enthusiastic, then add one song, and generally two songs will come down." Teacher Yuan, when the time comes, you will see the situation, and if you want to add it, you can come to the stage to greet you. ā€

"Got it, I'll see what happens." Yuan Kun, the host from the Shencheng TV Art Troupe, nodded.

Qin Zhu said strange things again: "Teacher Yuan, it's best that you don't come up, you won't add money to me if you add a song, right, Boss Qian?" ā€

Qian Liren didn't accept this, he simply ignored it and continued to speak.

"Zhigang, you're following the twins."

Zhou Zhigang raised his hand: "I know, don't worry." ā€

――――――――――

A few more programs were arranged, and Qian Liren looked at Ye Zi.

"Xiao Ye, you will play the eighth gear tonight, following Mr. Wu."

"Okay, no problem." Ye Zi nodded and replied.

Qin Zhu likes to express his opinion very much: "Xiao Yezi, you will be blessed if you follow Teacher Wu, Teacher Wu's performance is explosive, you are very good at acting in the back, and the atmosphere of casual singing will rise." ā€

"Well, Mr. Wu's performance must not have been said." Of course, Ye Zi also had to pick up a sentence.

Mr. Wu Junyu sat alone on the sofa in the corner of the lounge, smoking a cigarette by himself, smiling and not saying a word.

――――――――――

"Teacher Cheng Shu and Teacher Zhao Fei, you two will be arranged behind Ye Zi's solo, and ten minutes will be fine." Qian Liren turned to the other corner of the lounge.

Old man Cheng Shucheng frowned slightly: "Xiao Qian, take my show up a notch, and we'll follow Xiao Wu." ā€

Mr. Cheng is over 70 years old this year, so of course he can call Mr. Wu Junyu that.

"Cheng Lao, this 惻惻惻惻惻惻" Qian Liren looked embarrassed: "The tenth show in the back is also a soloist, and it is an actor from their local song and dance troupe, if your program is advanced, it will be difficult to arrange it later." What do you think 惻惻惻惻惻惻? ā€

Generally speaking, in the program arrangement, the comprehensive evening party will not put two programs of the same nature together, but will intersperse different types of programs, so that the audience will feel that the program is rich and colorful.

Cheng Shu's request is very unreasonable.

And when the actors come out to go out, they basically won't be picky about the order of the show, unless it's like the "twins" combination at the beginning, almost every time they will be arranged to appear first, but Qin Zhu is just nagging a few words and complaining, and will not directly ask for a change of position.

"That's what I ask, Xiao Qian, you can do it." Old man Cheng was peaceful, and closed his eyes slightly after saying this.

――――――――――

Qian Liren's heart was very annoyed.

This Cheng Shu really gets older and worse, relying on his age and status, almost every performance will do something. If the organizer hadn't asked the "intelligence chief" in the movie to be present by name this time, he would not have invited this old man, who was becoming more and more difficult to serve.

But now that he has come, he can only find a way to solve the problem.

――――――――――

"Xiao Ye, then please do me a favor and switch the position with Teacher Cheng Shu, okay?" Qian Liren could only ask Ye Zi for help.

Ye Zi nodded very dryly: "No problem, Brother Qian, that's it." ā€

"Hey, good, Xiaoye, brother, thank you!" Qian Liren hurriedly thanked him.

He really wants to thank him.

If a decision has not been made on the program arrangement of this performance, then it is no problem, and it doesn't matter who is before or after. But once it has been decided, if it is changed temporarily, then generally speaking, few actors will agree so simply like Ye Zi.

There is a face issue involved.

Actors are the kind of people who want to save face, if you want to change the order, they will first ask you why? If you don't have a very strong reason, they won't ignore you.

Oh, if he wants to swap it, you can swap it? So I want to change my position? Why does he need me to back down if he wants to swap? I guess tonight's finale will work?

If it weren't for Ye Ziqian's gentle concession today, Qian Liren would definitely sit on wax.

Don't look at Cheng Shu is an older generation of artists with a high status, but he and Ye Zi are basically two circles, and everyone is not in the same circle. One is in the film industry and the other is in the pop music world, except for this kind of "crooked wheel" performance, everyone has almost no intersection, even if it doesn't give you face, so what?

――――――――――

There are several reasons why Ye Zi backed down tonight.

After all, Old Man Cheng Shucheng is an old artist and deserves Ye Zi's respect. Since he made a request in person, Ye Zi, as the youngest junior present, took a step back, and the other actors would not think that Ye Zi had lost face, but would think that this child knew how to be polite and could behave.

This is important! When people get along with each other, first impressions are still very useful.

Besides, Ye Zi also hopes to be able to make friends with Qian Liren, a powerful big acupoint in Shencheng's "crooked wheel" circle, and in the future Shencheng entertainment circle, Qian Liren is a very famous big agent. Invest now, it's a good deal.

――――――――――

A small turmoil quickly subsided, and everyone had no opinion on the order of the next programs.

Qian Liren deliberately came over and patted Ye Zi on the shoulder, and walked out of the lounge to get ready to go.

――――――――――

"Xiaoye, come over and smoke a cigarette." Wu Junyu beckoned to Ye Zi.

"Mr. Wu, I didn't smoke before I went on stage." Ye Zi lit a cigarette for Mr. Wu, didn't smoke it himself, and talked to Mr. Wu.

Mr. Wu took a deep breath of his cigarette and nodded slightly: "Yes, you can sit here with me, and we will wait for the table together later." ā€

Through the smoke, Mr. Wu blinked a little childishly.

Ye Zi smiled slightly, sat quietly beside Mr. Wu, and waited for the arrival of the performance.

――――――――――

Note: Half-voice soft singing, a special noun for singers, refers to singing with half the volume and half of the voice, sometimes called "small voice singing", which is generally used when walking on stage.

The purpose of walking on stage during the performance is to familiarize yourself with the performance venue, and to design the position on the stage during the performance in advance, and it is OK to achieve this effect.

For singers, it is not necessary for the singer to be completely released to sing during rehearsal, as long as he is released to sing a few words, it is enough for the sound engineer to adjust the singer's voice. Rehearsals are generally "half-sung", which is also good for protecting the voice.
