Sidan pursed his lips and said, "It's not me saying it, Uncle Chen, don't get involved in being a soldier at your age." Hurry up and ask for a daughter-in-law, give birth to a baby, and continue the incense. ”

Chen Laoshi's face turned red from being suffocated, and he glared at the four eggs and said, "How can you talk about this doll?" Do you think I don't want to ask for a daughter-in-law? But we are poor and white, and there is a woman in the four walls of the family who is willing to marry. ”

Sidan squeezed his eyes at Chen Honest and said, "There is no money to make, Uncle Chen, you don't see that our good days are coming." By the way, I heard that the county is recruiting members of the art team, do you want to try it? ”

"Literary and artistic team? What does it mean? ”

"That's it, it's acting, but the play is all newly made, such as fighting the Tartars. Of course, there are more scenes in our eastern Sichuan to fight against the thieves. ”

Si Dan swallowed a mouthful of foam and said with a taste.

"That's it."

Chen Laoshi was really aroused and pondered thoughtfully.

After a long time, he sighed and said, "Since this is acting, there must be a requirement for age." What can I do when I'm old? ”

"Oh, Uncle Chen, you're wrong. This acting is naturally necessary for people of any age, otherwise how can it be real. I see that the current art team is full of players in their twenties, and there is a lack of you! ”

Chen Laoshi still felt a little uncertain: "Then, what do you say I am suitable for?" ”

"Offering thieves, Uncle Chen, you are too suitable to play the offering thief!"

Si Dan suddenly patted his head and said something that made Chen Laoshi's jaw drop in shock.

"What? Offering thieves? ”

"That's right! Uncle Chen, you see, you are the same age as the thief, this is a natural advantage. Those 20-year-old team members played the thief, it was really embarrassing to die. ”

“...”

Chen Laoshi sighed and said, "No, you can't say anything." I am an honest man, how can I play a thief. ”

"Oh, Uncle Chen, this is your mistake. How can acting be confused with reality? You see that in the play against the Eastern Captives, there are also those who play Dorgon and Dord. According to you, these team members still have to find a piece of tofu and kill them? ”

"I think it's about the same!"

Chen honestly said angrily.

"Uncle Chen, I heard that our Wanxian literary and art team is recruiting, two taels of silver a month, and only needs to act in ten plays. Except for the time for acting and rehearsals, the rest of the time can be arranged by yourself, which does not affect your farming! ”

In desperation, the four eggs had to use a killer move.

As soon as he heard this treatment, Chen Laoshi's eyes immediately widened: "Two taels of silver a month, you only need to act in ten scenes?" ”

"That's right! One scene in three days, isn't it cost-effective? ”

Sidan crossed his hands on his hips and said: "If I didn't want to be a soldier, I really wanted to try it in the art team." ”

Chen Laoshi patted his thigh and said, "Hey, don't say it." I'll go, I'll go, can't I? ”

"Really going?"

"Go, fools don't go!"

Chen honestly grinned, and his smile was very bright.

...

...

There was a long queue in front of the Chenghuang Temple in the northwest of the county government.

Those who came were all ordinary people who had applied for the art team.

Among them are dolls in their teens, as well as in the prime of life in their thirties and forties.

Chen Laoshi was still a little nervous in the middle of a crowd of young people in their twenties.

He couldn't stop taking a deep breath, trying to calm his mind.

Yes, you can.

Isn't it just acting? And it won't drop a piece of meat.

That's two taels of silver a month, obediently, even if he is asked to play a tartar, he will admit it.

The wait is long. Because those who come to apply not only have to sign up, but also have to enter the City God Temple to audition.

Chen Laoshi stared at the door tightly, and found that the expressions of the people who came out of it were different.

Some are happy and some are depressed. Some are excited, some are disappointed.

Hey, I don't know what it's going to be like when it's my turn.

But now that we've come this far, let's just let it be.

I am fortunate to have gained, but I have lost my life.

After another half an hour, it was finally Chen Laoshi's turn.

He walked up to the registered scribe, swallowed and spitted, "I want to recruit as a member of the literary team." ”

"Name, age."

"Chen Laoshi, I am forty-three years old this year."

The scribe quickly jotted down the information, nodded, and said, "Go in." ”

"Hey!"

Chen Laoshi hurriedly answered, and stepped across the threshold and entered the temple.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he was stunned by the sight in front of him.

I saw that the entire courtyard was filled with recruits, and they were divided into multiple groups to audition, and there were special scribe records next to them.

Chen honestly watched the rise and forgot to go inside. It wasn't until someone shouted his name that he woke up like a dream and strode inside.

"Chen Laoshi, you go and change into costumes, take a look at this scene first, and then come to the show later."

A scribe handed a piece of tissue paper to Chen Laoshi and said without a trace.

"That's... I can't read. ”

"Oh, nothing. There's a special person over there who will give you a play. ”

After that, I nodded a little in the direction of the old locust tree.

Chen Laoshi nodded very happily.

"Thank you, thank you!"

He walked quickly to the old locust tree, and said respectfully to the scribe who looked like he was in his thirties: "Please also ask the master to help me read it." ”

The scribe nodded, took the tissue paper and stroked his goatee as he said, "Well, you are playing a thief's play this time. ”

"What!"

Chen was stunned.

Do you really want to play a thief, is he so like?

It really made the egg baby talk.

The scribe frowned and said, "Why, is there anything you can't do?" ”

Chen Laoshi shook his head again and again: "No, no, of course you can." ”

"Then what should I do?"

"You will play a scene in which Zhang Xianzhong loses the battle and jumps like thunder, the more hideous and terrifying the face, the better. Remember, you must not have scruples, the more realistic the performance, the better. ”

Chen honestly nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Is there anything else I should pay attention to?"

"No, this audition is just a feeling, there is no requirement for the lyrics, it all depends on the immediate play."

"Oh."

Chen honestly responded, but felt a little embarrassed.

He has never acted before, how can he act if he is not given words?

He racked his brains, pondered everything about Zhang Xianzhong in his mind, and finally acted out his head.

"You donkey ball for Lao Tzu to roll, all for us Lao Tzu to roll! Don't roll Lao Tzu cut your hanging wine again! Turtle sons, a group of turtle sons..."

Chen Laoshi was very involved in acting, and the more he acted, the more excited he became, pointing to the scribe who had just told him about the play, and scolded.

The scribe had a blue face, and could not say a word.

The rise of Chen Honest's scolding has no intention of stopping at all.

At last the scribe shouted.

"Ahem, you're doing a good job. It's just that the facial expressions are not so exaggerated. In addition, the body movements are more in place, and the strength must be sufficient, not as if you have not eaten enough. Okay, let's try out there! ”
