【Chapter 17: Year by Year】(2) To be continued
Tang Qingyou was surprised and called Prus's name.
The pair of clear blue electric eyes of the two-meter-tall Nordic handsome man Pruss suddenly bent out of a perfect arc, as if he had met an old acquaintance, and chatted with Tang Qingyou.
Counting up, Tang Qingyou has been in the North and South Cinema Line for more than a year, and the work in the performing arts industry is just like that, art management is not as high-end and high-grade as the name sounds, but just a behind-the-scenes job, full of all kinds of trivial daily life. In the long run, the career of most arts managers is nothing more than following the pace of the years, working week by week, and increasing their resumes year by year. The former drama queen did not have direct contact with art here, and as she launched a protracted wheel war with the repetitive and trivial work day after day, Tang Qingyou faced the Nanshan Grand Theater and Beihai Art Base, which were already on the right track, and the enthusiasm of the industry also faintly showed signs of fading. She had almost forgotten the glorious feeling she had felt in front of the stage. Until the famous conductor in front of me judged with certainty that she was an artist, not just an art manager. Tang Qingyou was ignited by Pruss's self-confidence, and finally let go of the happy room, under his whimsical guidance, talked about Nordic drama from German and Austrian music, and finally talked about the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale she once played - "The Daughter of the Sea".
Tang Qingyou had just joined the Pingsheng Drama Club at that time, and she had not yet won the title of "Queen of Drama", and she starred in a drama for the first time, playing the supporting actress in "The Daughter of the Sea", a human princess. is the traditional female number two who later married the male protagonist and "lived a happy and happy life".
In the original story, the human princess doesn't have much presence, nothing more than picking up the prince on the beach, and the prince falls in love with her by mistakenly believing her to be his savior. In a sense, if there is no mermaid princess, then the human princess is indeed a kind and beautiful female number one image who saved the prince. However, the human princess in Hans Christian Andersen's story is just a lucky person who inadvertently takes advantage of others and finds love and a happy life.
At the suggestion of Tang Qingyou, at the end of the Pingsheng version of "The Daughter of the Sea", when the mermaid princess turned into a bubble, there was a scene that could be said to be reversed: the human princess stood on the shore with the prince, admiring the rough sea. The mermaid princess in the sea melted into foam little by little with tears in her eyes, but the prince did not see it at all. And the human princess, who was nestled on the prince's shoulder, showed a mysterious smile at this time, and her hand was on the side of the prince's vision, waving gently towards the disappearing mermaid princess...... A surround sound came from above the theater: "Look who it is, it's the last laugh." Hahaha......"
As he spoke, the stage lights were all extinguished, and a few seconds later, the sound of the waves became louder and louder, and on the stage, the background LED screen appeared from the dark and bright picture of the sea, and a big ship sailed from afar, and the four big words "to be continued" floated out.
Although later, the Pingsheng version of the drama "The Daughter of the Sea" has not launched a sequel, but this adapted version has been in the limelight for a while, Tang Qingyou has become a campus figure by virtue of a scene at the ending, from an unknown newcomer to the drama club, and then the next play is to appear in front of everyone as the female number one.
"Wow! That's great! You're an artist! Pruss reciprocated Tang Qingyou's past sharing with a startled expression, and then confirmed with her again whether he would attend the concert that night, and when he heard the definite answer, he was very happy: "Dear friend, I must give you a gift tonight." ”
Tang Qingyou raised his coffee and saluted him: "As long as you remember, once in the café next to the Nanshan Grand Theater, there was a Chinese girl who drank a cup of coffee with you, and I was very happy!" ”
"Yolanda, you're my friend, of course I'll remember you!"
Tang Qingyou smiled: "I will also remember you, you are my one-day friend." ”
Pruss shook his head desperately: "No, no, no, friends don't last for a day, they are all for life." Just like the drama you acted, our friendship can go on forever and without an ending! ”
Tang Qingyou's rational thinking is working by inertia: "Look, after drinking this cup of coffee, you are going back to perform, and I, as one of the audience in more than a thousand seats, are two worlds on and off the stage of the Grand Theater." Except for enjoying the live music and applause together, we will not have anything to cross paths again. ”
However, this is not valid to the ears of Pruss, who insists on his "ism" unwaveringly: "No, no, no, you have to believe me, I am very happy to meet you as a friend, and I will give you flowers at the end of the show tonight." I'll let you know that on and off stage, it's a world. No matter where you sit, I'm sure I'll find you! ”
In this regard, although Tang Qingyou felt that it was difficult to operate, he even decided that Pruss was a failure. But firstly, there is really no need to be too serious when we meet in Pingshui, and secondly, just listening to these nice words, I feel overjoyed. Tang Qingyou couldn't help but OS in his heart: It is said that foreigners can coax people, and it is true, Tu Yiran has never been so romantic!
Tang Qingyou had to admit that he was pleased by this master conductor. So, out of the psychology of reciprocating, before the opening, she deliberately went to the box office to call up the seat map, found the empty seat of the day, and picked the most advanced seat in it - in this way, it was easier for Pruss to find her.
Not surprisingly, the symphony received a full round of applause that night, and after the end of the concert, it returned five times, and then closed six times in a row, before the audience reluctantly left their seats. Among the five small songs that returned, Pruss specially arranged a song "Jasmine", with an oriental melody, thunderous applause, and the stage and the audience were in a boiling state.
Among them, Ding Yan, the director of field affairs, personally held a large handful of red roses on stage and presented them to the conductor Prus.
Then, in the thunderous applause, Preus swept around the audience, and finally fixed his eyes on Tang Qingyou, and directly threw the bouquet in his hand. The bouquet of red roses fell into Tang Qingyou's arms impartially.
Pruss also blinked, giving a mesmerizing smile.
The audience who didn't know the truth didn't think there was anything, but so many colleagues in the venue were there, and everyone saw this scene and expressed their joy to Tang Qingyou: "Oh my God, Sister You, have you won the jackpot?" Teach us! ”
Tang Qingyou just smiled and said, "Tonight's luck is really good!" "What I really want to say is: First of all, you have to have basic foreign language communication skills.
Many successful people have invariably mentioned a sentence: "Opportunity only favors the prepared mind." "No one knows if your current preparation will be used in the future, but every time you make one more preparation, you will always strive for one more possibility for the future, or even a way out.
After the performance, Tang Qingyou rushed backstage again and thanked Pruss in person. Tang Qingyou hugged the flowers, and the two took a photo, which was handled by Ni Huan'er who was passing by. When Ni Huaner pressed the shooting button, Prouss actually learned from Japan and South Korea, and bent over to compare half of his heart on the top of Tang Qingyou's head.
Ni Huan'er was also overjoyed, and ended muttering to Tang Qingyou: "Sister You, you have to post this photo on Moments!" ”
Tang Qingyou was naturally happy, and immediately sent a circle of friends out: "Received flowers from the conductor master, my luck is so good tonight!" ”
Needless to say, this circle of friends has blown all the friends who have been diving for a long time out of the water, and then ...... Here's the problem.
Mr. Tu Yiran, who has never shown his face in the circle of friends, and hardly even uses WeChat, left a message: "If you have had enough, go home early." ”
Shen Bo also appeared, and replied to Tu Yiran: "Look, you are uneducated again, right?" At this time, it should be said: Mo Shanghua blooms and returns slowly! ”
Boyi's old colleagues and the subordinates of Yida Culture have been watching, paving the road with flowers, and everyone is sprinkled with petal rain, lining up to welcome Tang Qingyou's "phoenix back to the nest".
Tang Qingyou was dazzled and didn't dare to reply to a single word.
In just ten minutes, Tang Qingyou's circle of friends exploded. At the same time, the group photo of the conductor Master Pruss with leaders, colleagues, and fans was only halfway through. Tang Qingyou waved goodbye to Pruss through the sea of people. Preuss actually "excuseme" all the way through the crowd, walked up to Tang Qingyou, and said enthusiastically: "Yolanda, I will definitely remember you, you will be my forever friend!" I'm looking forward to seeing you next time I can be an audience member and come to see your show! Remember, our friendship is still to be continued! ”
Tang Qingyou was infected by Prus's enthusiasm, and for a second, he almost believed what he said. But soon, she was back to reality. She had already opted out before she entered the performing arts industry, so how could she go back? Now she can only continue to trek in the field of arts management, and as for what awaits her at the end of this road, she herself is still vague at this moment.
Of course, Tang Qingyou was still very pleased with Prus's definition of the friendship between the two in the state of "unfinished", so much so that she was full of affection for this word since then.
This large-scale symphony has passed, Chinese New Year's Eve has also begun to count down, Tang Qingyou is responsible for the project coordination of the musical "Chasing Love" is scheduled to be performed two days before Chinese New Year's Eve, the crew will land two days in advance, as soon as the rehearsal is completed, the crew released Ji Simian and two mainland young actors to come back first.
As a result, the first thing the two young actors said when they saw Tang Qingyou was: "Manager Tang, you just wait to watch a big show!" ”
