In the second round of performances, ticket prices have risen, but pre-sales are still hot, and tickets are hard to find.

The scalpers laid out in advance and made more or less money.

The audience called on Happy Rice to introduce a purchase restriction policy to prevent scalpers.

For the drama club, scalpers who can't get rid of them are happy troubles.

The last of the second round of performances, just in time for New Year's Day. All the cast and crew of the drama club and all the audience laughed in the drama for New Year's Eve.

At the end of the performance, the audience left, and Mi Xinghe held a simple cocktail party backstage to celebrate the millennium when the Drama Club sent away the "willows and flowers" and ushered in 2001, which was full of opportunities.

I don't know who shouted "It's snowing", everyone put down their wine glasses and rushed out of the theater to play in the snow in the square outside.

The snow fell heavily, and under the reflection of the street lamps, they all showed a majestic momentum, and everyone chased and played in the snow like children.

Zhou Yi became the target of everyone's pursuit and interception, and was soon stuffed with several snow balls in his neck and was forced to withdraw from the "battlefield".

After retreating, I noticed that there was no "Hua Ping" in the crowd.

Where did she go, I saw her answering the phone just now.

Zhou Yi returned to the backstage of the theater to look for it, and suddenly saw that Hua Ping was sitting in front of the mirror in the dressing room and making a phone call.

In the mirror, she frowned, stunned, her fists clenched tightly because of nervousness, as if something big had happened.

After a while, he hung up the phone, his eyes were stupid, and his expression was gloomy.

"Senior sister, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Yi came in and asked softly.

Hua Ping turned around and glanced at Zhou Yi, and suddenly seemed to see a relative, with a flat mouth, red eyes, and tears.

"Something's wrong."

"What's going on?"

"The things in the mine are not covered, and the old Fei has hooked up the previous things, and Lao Fei called me and asked me to quickly pack up my things and go abroad early tomorrow morning to hide."

"Huh?" Zhou Yi was confused by the sudden news.

Some time ago, a mining accident occurred in Fei Deyang's mine, and several people died. Fei Deyang's overnight emergency business trip was to solve the matter. A lot of money was spent before and after, and it seems that it has not been settled.

"It's too late to explain, I need to hurry up." Hua Ping picked up her bag and was about to go out, but she reluctantly glanced back at Zhou Yi, hugged him aggrievedly, kissed him fiercely, and then left in tears.

Before leaving the door, he instructed: "My family's affairs will be kept secret for the time being, and I will tell them when I go abroad." ”

Hua Ping is gone, and Zhou Yi's head is still messy and irritable until this moment.

How do you say that if you go abroad, you will go abroad? Do I have to go abroad? Even if her husband Fei Deyang goes abroad, Hua Ping can stay? Also, which country to go to? Can't come back? Who plays Qiu Ya when she leaves?

"Zhou Yi, what's wrong with Senior Sister Huaping?" Meng Xiyang walked in and interrupted Zhou Yi's thoughts.

"Gone."

"Why did she leave all of a sudden, telling her to ignore me?"

"I didn't know, I answered the phone and left in a hurry, only to say that something happened at home."

"I thought you were bullying her." Meng Xiyang looked at Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi was in no mood to take care of Meng Xiyang, his heart was all on Hua Ping's body, and he even thought: Is Hua Ping absconding in fear of crime? If you abscond in fear of crime, will you be stopped by customs?

On second thought, what is her sin? Even if she is guilty, it is Fei Deyang's sin, what does it have to do with her?

……

At 11 a.m. the next day, Zhou Yi received a text message from Hua Ping that she was at the Tokyo airport and would be transiting to the United States and would not be back in a short time.

Later, he replied to a text message, revealing endless longing: "I will definitely regret leaving when I arrive in the United States, because I know that I will miss you every day in the future and can't sleep." Goodbye, my Charlotte. ”

Zhou Yi's heart was heavy, thinking of the days when he got along day and night, and his inexplicable irritability couldn't be dissolved.

Not long after, Mi Xinghe called.

It turned out that Huaping also contacted him and told him that the original investment of 200,000 yuan was transferred to Zhou Yi, which was regarded as Zhou Yi's investment in shares. Because Zhou Yi loves drama and is talented, these investments should be regarded as support for his career.

When Zhou Yi heard this, her heart became more and more sour, it seemed that she was sure that she would not come back, and she didn't know if she would be able to meet again in the future.

……

It's still time to look forward.

Now you have to face a troublesome thing: Hua Ping is gone, who will play Qiu Ya?

According to the plan that has been finalized, the third round of New Year's performances will be held in a week, with 15 performances in a row. If you change to a new actor, can you run in with everyone?

Zhou Yi pushed open the window, picked up the broom and leaned over and smashed the opposite window: "Meng Xiyang, did you get up?" ”

Since the rehearsal of "Charlotte's Troubles", everyone has been out day and night, sleeping until eleven or twelve o'clock in the morning, going to work in the drama club in the afternoon, and rehearsing until late at night.

The window opened, and Meng Xiyang stood at the window: "What's wrong?" ”

"Go downstairs and invite you to dinner."

"Why did you invite me to dinner? Nothing will happen, right? ”

"Annoying, go down and talk slowly."

They each went downstairs and met in the alley.

"What's going on?" Meng Xiyang asked with concern.

"Huaping's matter", Zhou Yi sighed, "She went abroad, and it is very likely that she will not come back." ”

"Huh?" Meng Xiyang's reaction was exactly the same as yesterday's Zhou Yi, a little confused, and his mind couldn't turn around, "Why did you go abroad?" ”

"I don't know the specific situation, it is rumored that the mining disaster has fermented, and other things have been aroused, his husband is going to run away, and Huaping can only follow him abroad."

"Who will play Qiu Ya when she goes abroad?"

"What annoys me is this matter, it's easy to run in, and I have to change actors, everything has to be done all over again. There is also the question of candidates, it is not easy to find a good actor who fits Qiu Ya's image. ”

"It's not as difficult as you say", Meng Xiyang has never liked Hua Ping very much, and he has never felt that Hua Ping is indispensable.

Zhou Yi glanced at her: "Didn't she act well?" ”

"Good, but not so good that it can't be replaced. Also, I've always had a very strange feeling that she didn't look at you right, and if it weren't for the female assistant staring at her all the time, she would have seduced you. ”

"Is there one? Why didn't I see it? Zhou Yi pretended to be confused.

"I can't be mistaken, a woman's sixth sense is very accurate."

Zhou Yi snorted and said with a heavy heart: "Then if you didn't say it earlier, I missed a Titanic-style love." ”

"Shameless!" Meng Xiyang glared at Zhou Yi, his eyes were like a knife, "I see what you missed is Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing's adultery." ”

After saying that, he strode forward.

……

It is imminent to recruit new actors.

After discussion, Mi Xinghe went to the Drama Academy and the Film Academy respectively to recruit actresses to play Qiu Ya, either full-time or part-time.

and posted recruitment notices outside the gates of the Happy Drama Club and the Tongqian Theater respectively.

Today's Happy Rice has become famous and influential because of the popularity of "Charlotte's Troubles". In just one day, more than 50 resumes were received in the mailbox, most of them accompanied by beautiful life photos.

Zhou Yi personally looked through the resume screening.

First eliminated more than 20 people who did not have any performance experience and were not from a professional class, then eliminated 10 people who did not look amazing, and then eliminated 10 people whose cups could not reach C.

Selecting "Qiu Ya", Zhou Yi always inexplicably thought of the image of a bikini beauty throwing out the pool, so he had requirements for cups.

In the end, 10 people were preliminarily screened, all of whom were from professional classes, all had performance experience, and they were big and beautiful.

At least that's what it looks like in the photos.

Zhou Yi also paid special attention to a person, very beautiful, a big star in the future, if she can come, she will be Qiu Ya.
