On the backstage side, Brother Philosopher found that there were still a lot of people here, some of them were still packing their things, and some were divided into different small groups chatting separately.

Brother Philosopher didn't pay much attention to it at a glance, but as for the backstage, it was quite in line with his impression.

It was cleaner than expected, maybe Ke Hansheng asked them to clean it in advance.

"The basic thing present is the ...... of all the members of the Flower Moon Troupe"

"Hmm...... Wait? Full? Brother Philosopher replied casually, and then suddenly turned his head in surprise.

Just a few people there?

Full?

He thought it was because after chatting with Ke Hansheng for so long, the backstage had already cleaned up and left work.

I thought it was "a lot of people to keep", but it turned out that was all there was to it.

Seeing Brother Philosopher walk in, the people in the troupe seemed to be looking at him and discussing his affairs.

"Do you want to get acquainted?"

"No need."

Ke Hansheng nodded: "Now that various troupes are gradually declining, and the members have withdrawn one after another, it is difficult to perform some slightly large-scale dramas, which can be regarded as a vicious circle...... Oh, just self-comforting. The troupe does not have an official director, and because of its close relationship with the theater, I am considered the acting director. ”

Glancing at the others, he continued, "If the theater is transferred to you, it is your business whether or not to renew the contract with the Flower Moon Troupe. ”

He didn't say much so he did.

It stands to reason that the other party has the intention to buy the theater and start a major renovation, so there is no problem in raising a declining theater troupe.

Although he does hope that if the other party can show mercy, he will continue with the troupe for a few more years.

But here Ke Hansheng can't get an inch by himself.

"Small troupe, it's not bad, let's buy it together." Then he heard a casual fluttering word from the philosopher.

"Huh?" Ke Hansheng was stunned.

"If you are the acting head of the troupe, you should be able to talk together, how to say, the theater and the troupe are packaged and sold together, so that the price can be a little higher." Brother Philosopher lifted his glasses slightly.

Big dog!

Rich man!

O stupid son of the landlord's family!

A number of loud exclamations flashed through my mind in a row.

finally converged on Ke Hansheng's face, forming a smile that he felt was the best in his life.

But Brother Philosopher glanced at it and didn't look away, this smiling face can only be made for air.

After all, buying a theater is derived from considering the multifaceted needs of Wan Yimen, and at first it was just that he wanted to buy a theater troupe to play, which was the fundamental purpose.

After the renovation of the theater, there must be Wan Yi who wants to come to play, and he must always give this kind of Wan Yi a place to go.

A troupe that has few members but was once a little famous is indeed a good choice.

I have a contract with this theater, so it's just right to buy it together.

Without further ado, Brother Green Goblin had already handed over this matter to Brother Philosopher, and he directly completed the transaction on behalf of the Phantom Group and the "Lingxian Grand Theater" and the Flower Moon Troupe.

The name "Lingpendulum" is very nice, so there is no need to change it.

It just sounds like you want to play cards.

After the contract was signed, Brother Philosopher and Ke Hansheng shook hands gently.

Ke Hansheng exhaled, his eyes full of melancholy.

"Will you stay in the troupe?"

"Me? No, after this money is paid off the debt, I will probably use the rest to leave the Golden Circle, I am not young anymore, and the days of living in the Golden Circle have made me haggard. Ke Hansheng shook his head and said with a light smile.

"It looks like there is a retirement plan."

"Yes, there are friends who will take me in on the Dawning Sky Islands."

"Sounds good."

After the two spoke a few words, they returned to the backstage again, and Ke Hansheng clapped his hands and called everyone in the Huayue Troupe to announce the news that the theater and the troupe had changed hands.

Everyone was still surprised.

Whispers could be faintly heard.

"It's true!"

"It's really negotiated, there are still such big dogs these days?"

"I don't care......"

It seems that the news has been conveyed a long time ago, but it is still a bit dreamy for these people to really realize this kind of obviously loss-making business.

"I will also step down as the acting head of the troupe and officially retire from the troupe, and I have worked hard for you in the past few years." Ke Han finished speaking with emotion, bowing deeply to everyone in front of him.

Everyone gave a round of applause.

"Then the matter of the new head ......" Ke Hansheng looked at Brother Philosopher, meaning to ask the Phantom Group.

Brother Philosopher shrugged his shoulders and stepped forward directly: "I will directly serve as the new head of the troupe in the future, please take care of me, the theater will start construction for a period of renovation in the future, and I will try my best to find a temporary performance channel for you." If there is a matter of personnel change and withdrawal from the group, those who are interested will come to me directly immediately, and that's it, disband. ”

He was in a state of mind all at once, and he said it well.

The rest of the troupe suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

And a big point is that Brother Philosopher directly mentioned the personnel changes and withdrawal from the group.

Obviously, in the case of the decline of this kind of theatrical performance, there is no doubt that there are different reasons for persevering until now, and this persistence is also very difficult.

But after all, it is necessary to beg for life, and many people have long come to a tipping point of swinging, but may be forced to hesitate due to some old friendship problems, waiting for an opportunity.

Now is the opportunity.

The theater changed hands, renovated and renovated, and the troupe changed hands, and naturally ushered in a wave of simple cleanups.

Even if you clean it up like this, the number of members who are already small is even more pitiful.

After Brother Philosopher said this, everyone present was stunned, and they were silent at first.

For a while, no one dared to bring it up directly.

"Hurry up and deal with it, I believe everyone still has their own lives to face, don't make yourself tired." Brother Philosopher's words are a bit impersonal.

But this is him, an ordinary Wan Yi who has been rotten.

Saying this, someone soon came out and said, "I'm sorry, I was accepted for a recent company interview, and I won't be able to stay for a few days." ”

"I've saved enough money lately, and I'm going to leave the Golden Circle soon." A woman also walked out.

Someone opened their mouths, and suddenly everyone else spoke up boldly.

Ke Hansheng watched from the side, and couldn't help but show bitterness on his face.

Even though he already knew a lot, when he really saw this scene, he was really embarrassed.

It's gone, it's really gone.

Then he took the initiative to help Brother Philosopher take over the finishing work, and took these people to deal with the beginning and end.

The number of people left is in the single digits.

What kind of theater troupe, at first glance, I thought it was a student club of a middle school.

No, there are more serious student clubs than this.

There are many people who choose to leave because many of their friends have chosen to leave, and they also choose to leave because of the crowd.

As for the rest......

"You can go back and think about it again, you can apply for withdrawal from the troupe within three days, and I will negotiate a new contract with you after three days, and then the troupe, including the theater, will restart, I hope you who stay are mentally prepared." Brother Philosopher said briefly to the remaining people.

A large number of acquaintances left, and everyone's interest was not very high, and after a few responses, several people also left together.

Finally, Brother Philosopher turned his head to look at the only one who remained in place.

The previous heroine left a deep impression on Brother Philosopher.

"Well, Miss Chu Xin, is it?" Brother Philosopher recalled the other party's name, which was on the drama poster.

It seems that she is a relatively silent person, and she has not seen her talk to the rest of the group before, so she is a little withdrawn.

She nodded in response to her philosopher.

"Is there anything else wrong with staying?"

"Will the troupe continue to perform?" Chu Xin spoke softly, and the contrast with her loud singing voice when she performed the opera was somewhat obvious.

"Yes, otherwise what would you want the troupe and the theater to do?" Brother Philosopher replied without much thought.

"With so many people left, can they still perform? A lot of backstage preparation for the show requires a lot of work, and now that everyone is gone, it is very difficult to recruit new people. ”

Brother Philosopher looked at her and said this.

"What's wrong?" After Chu Xin finished speaking, he didn't hear the philosopher's reply for the first time, and looked at him curiously.

"It's nothing, you seem to be the last person here to care about the troupe and the performers." Philosopher said.

He was confirming whether the woman's mood swings were whimsical or genuinely caring.

Now it seems to be the latter.

"Hmm." In this regard, Chu Xin just looked at the front court and the audience through the gap in the curtain, and responded gently.

"Don't worry about recruiting new people." Brother Philosopher doesn't mind reassuring Hua Dan, the leader of this possible future troupe.

"There will be a lot of people coming."

In fact, such things as manpower grow out of thin air when needed.

At least that's the case for Wan Yi.
