Art Garden, backstage of the theater.

Dong Ce was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, with a fake beard on his face, and Meng Feng, who had just finished working from the ticket booth, was holding a teapot and said while drinking: "You said before that you would be very busy when selling tickets, why did you still let Yu Nan and them sell tickets?" Instead, the people in the background are idle? ”

Dong Ce glued his beard, turned his head to look at Meng Feng and said: "The people in the background can't be transferred casually, otherwise they won't be busy when they come back, and once they make a mistake, they won't be second, as for Yu Nan and them, I not only want them to sell tickets, but also let them participate in all the behind-the-scenes work in the future, this is an experience, and I am familiar with the process of the entire theater operation, I will ask them their views and opinions in a month, if not, if there is, it may be beneficial to the development of the art garden." ”

Meng Feng nodded in understanding after hearing this, and said: "Indeed, in this way, they can also be more compatible with all the employees, I say, why did you sing those plays well and dance better, but you obviously had no patience to drive away all the plays!" ”

Dong Ce picked up the paintbrush and said while thrushing: "Impatience is a point, the most important thing is that they have no respect for us, this job, and even themselves!" ”

"Disrespectful?" Meng Feng was stunned, and after a while, he thought that when he interviewed for the scene, there were indeed many people who respected them on the surface, but when Dong Ce asked a few irrelevant ones, and even some of them were asked why they fell into the Qinglou and sang operas, most of the women were either angry or coquettish, and only Yu Nan and a few of them were very calm to tell the past, but behind the calm, it made people hear deep helplessness and sadness!

"It seems that this recruitment also requires experience and eyesight!" Meng Feng said with emotion.

"This is a science, you have to study hard, although we are very short of talents, but rather lack than indiscriminate, grasp a few key points and cultivate more, success is fortunate, the monthly money can not be less." After Dong Ce finished speaking, he got up and picked up the desktop hat, blew out the oil lamp next to the bronze mirror, and then turned around and walked to the front of the stage.

On the stage, Yu Nan, who played Su Hui, was full of red, and looked at Lu Qing who played Yan Yu blankly, and sang for a long time: "Did Yu Lang remember that in the brocade box at home, there was a paper of autumn poems and shoe dust prints? ”

Yan Yu sighed faintly, handed over the wine glass, and sang with emotion: "How can you forget!" ”

"Really!" Su Hui smiled sadly and muttered: "It's a pity that I still don't understand what that autumn poem means, if I had known that this was the case, Hui Niang shouldn't have left shoe prints on Yulang's poem!" With that, Su Hui took the wine glass and drank it all.

Spirits are like intestinal poison, and Su Hui seems to have never tasted such strong wine, a glass of wine makes her face feel pain, but she recklessly showed a desolate smile, looking at Yan Yu with pity.

Yan Yu closed his eyes, didn't dare to look at Su Hui, turned around and left the house directly.

Su Hui cried, tears wet her cheeks in an instant, she leaned against the wall weakly, from soft sobbing to painful convulsions, her whole person slowly curled up in the corner, struggling and twisting with the desolate drum music, for a long time, until she didn't move!

"Cover the lights!" With a wave of Dong Ce on the side of the stage, suddenly, the backstage personnel on the left and right sides hurriedly lowered four black cloths to cover all the four rows of copper mirror oil lamps that illuminated the stage.

"Wow!" The audience was instantly boiling!

"Su Niangzi is really dead?" A young man shouted in disbelief.

"I once read "Gongsun Mingxiang", which did write that Su Hui died here, but I didn't expect her to be locked in the house alone, suffering from poisonous wine, alas! My poor lady Su! ”

"Woooooooooo......oo Damn Yan Yu! Why does Su Niangzi, who doesn't drink alcohol, drink? A woman cried.

"How unreasonable, how unreasonable! How did this pair of dog men and women succeed! ”

No matter what the audience reacts to, the on-stage performance will continue as usual.

When Yan Yu was beaten to death with a stick, it can be said that it was very happy, but there are still some people who feel pity, thinking that Yan Yu just wants to seek a future, but the officialdom is cunning, and Han Yao'er is a vicious woman who can't tolerate sharing her husband with others, so it became Yan Yu's tragic ending!

When Dong Ce returned to the backstage, he saw Yu Nan handing over a cup of tea, he took a sip and said to Yu Nan: "Your performance today is better than yesterday, which is very good, but the reaction after poisoning is not enough, you must be stronger and die quickly." ”

"Ahh When Yu Nan heard this, his delicate little face wrinkled, and he said: "But I went to the pharmacy yesterday to ask the doctor about the reaction to poisoning, and they said that even if it is arsenic, if it is put in a glass of wine, it will not be imperceptible, and it will never kill in an instant!" ”

"Damn!" Dong Ce rolled his eyes and said: "We are acting, not reality, during the time you are struggling on stage, how many backstage personnel have to be busy for you, especially the musicians, they are about to stop, but seeing that you are still struggling, how dare they stop, they can only continue to cooperate, but in this way, there will be problems with the connection of the music, and it will not be able to support a strong touching atmosphere, you must remember this, not not to drag you, but to discuss with the musicians first, and rehearse more." ”

"Oh!" Yu Nan responded a little unhappily, she felt that it was very good just now, and the audience's response was also very enthusiastic, but it seemed that in the eyes of the big boss, it was only reluctant, which made her feel pressured!

"I just said, your paragraph is too procrastinating, you still don't believe it!" Lu Qing didn't have the anger to blame Yu Nan.

"Got it, my brother Lu!" Yu Nan stuck out her tongue at Lu Qing, and her appearance was completely opposite to the fresh and elegant, dignified and virtuous Su Hui on stage, so that many backstage personnel didn't understand why Dong Dadong's family asked her to play Su Hui?

In fact, Dong Ce didn't expect it! When he first interviewed Yu Nan, this girl behaved dignifiedly, dressed in a fresh and elegant blue shirt, sat down in the interview hall, and quietly answered his questions, giving him the feeling that it was Su Hui, and there was no one else, but I didn't expect that this girl came to the art garden for less than half a month, and completely became a lively and cheerful girl in the flower season!

But this is not surprising, Yu Nan did not grow up in the kiln since childhood, speaking of which, she is also equivalent to the victims of the flood, everything in the family was washed away, the mother was seriously ill, and the father was crushed by the collapsed house and broke a leg, originally wanted to go to Jinling to relatives, but the relatives were also poor, helpless, only under the arrangement of relatives, to sing in the Qinglou!

It's also a shame that she met Meng Feng, otherwise after a while, I'm afraid she won't be able to jump out of that quagmire!

And because of her experience, her tears come when they are called, and they go when they are lingering, even Dong Ce has to admire!

"Big boss, what about me? What else can I strengthen? Li Yuan carried a small stool and sat beside Dong Ce and said curiously.

"You?" Dong Ce glanced at Li Yuan, thought for a while, and said, "You are rude enough, but you still lack the feeling of being a lady." ”

"What do you mean by the big boss?" Li Yuanliu frowned and said, "Isn't Han Yao'er just rude, why is everyone so beautiful?" ”

Dong Ce was a little speechless when he heard this, and sighed: "Her brutality is only aimed at Yan Yu, because of the depth of love and hatred, this understanding is somewhat complicated, and there are many levels, but the person you want to play is to love Yan Yu, so she hates the woman Yan Yu loves, that is, Su Hui, and the rest of the people should maintain a dignified demeanor, this must be distinguished!" ”

"Love is deep and hateful!" Li Fei blushed after hearing this, looked at Dong Ce and said, "The big proprietor seems to know the way of male and female **** very well!" ”

"Alas, that's right!" Yu Nan also came over and said with a smile: "Haven't you heard Sister Lu say it, our big boss used to be a merry man!" There is no brothel in Jinling, which he has never been to! and also talked to Sister Lu...... Hey! ”

"And this?" When Li Yuan heard this, she looked at Lu Qing in surprise.

Lu Qingqiao's face flushed, but she didn't answer!

In fact, Lu Qing is a relatively famous Qing official in Jinling, he has been to many Qinglou to sing songs, and he has seen Dong Ce more than once or twice, and even once Dong Ce had to pull her to accompany her!

Dong Ce was definitely wronged, he didn't have this memory at all, and when he heard it at the moment, he understood why Lu Qing sometimes looked at him with a little weird look!

"Ahem! People are not romantic! Dong Ce pretended to cough lightly, and said cautiously: "I used to drink too much to make jokes, don't hold on to it, otherwise you will deduct the monthly money!" ”

"Oh, what a chilling person you say this, Brother Tu, they all say that you are the sect leader, your sect does not discriminate against people, everyone is equal in respect and inferiority, you seem to want to dissociate yourself from our Sister Lu now!" Yu Nan is not afraid of Dong Ce, she can see that the owner is cold-hearted and hot-hearted, and thinks about them everywhere, so she dares to ridicule.

Without waiting for Dong Ce to speak, Lu Qing hurriedly said: "Nan'er, don't say it, otherwise my sister will be really angry!" ”

When Yu Nan heard this, he couldn't help but pout, as if he wanted to look at Lu Qing like a fool! I secretly thought sister, I'm helping you! You still don't appreciate it, it's so stupid!

Don't say that Lu Qing doesn't have this mind, even if she has, it is impossible for others to help, she has her own way of doing things, and she can't stand the interference of others, so she naturally won't accept Yu Nan's affection.

Dong Ce looked at this matter very lightly, not to mention the artists under his hands, even if he had a secretary, he was too lazy to touch it, it was not that he was stupid, it was troublesome, the relationship between men and women could be bought with money, in his opinion, it was very clean, and there were no twists and turns.

After a break at noon, everyone began to busy with the afternoon performance.

Dong Ce asked a few people who went out to investigate the audience's reaction, and learned that the response to the broken jade case was very good, and even the audience who came to see it yesterday came again today, not only by himself, but also by bringing a family or relatives and friends, it is obvious how popular this drama is.

However, Rao is like this, he still finds fault with each performance, and after the performance, he is looking for employees to mention points one by one, which makes his subordinates complain, but who let them stand up to such a proprietor!

After a busy day, everyone had just dispersed to rest, and Dong Ce, who had not had time to leave, was found by Meng Feng again.

"Why are you so anxious?" Dong Ce asked.

"It's not a matter of tickets, it's only half an hour today, and the tickets for the whole day are sold out, I plan to ask Master Tao to take people to work tonight to make tickets, and from tomorrow, the tickets for the next three days will be sold, what do you think?" Meng Feng asked.

"Okay, that's good." Dong Ce nodded.

"But in this case, I'm worried that someone will raise the ticket price outside and damage the reputation of our art garden, is there a way to stop this ticket from being sold privately?" Meng Feng said depressedly again.

"There are scalpers this year?" Dong Ce was happy after hearing this, and then said: "It doesn't matter, it seems that our art garden is hard to find, and we are hanging up a sign, so that guests don't want to buy high-priced tickets, they can come to the art garden to book tickets directly, but in terms of time, hehe!" ”

When Meng Feng heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and pointed at Dong Ce and said, "You old fox!" ”
