On the stage, where the scenery is beautiful, the lights flicker like water, and the dancers dance to the beautiful music.

The dance posture of the actors is very beautiful, with the gorgeous atmosphere of the court dance, and the unique elegant and gentle beauty of the Chu dance.

Gong Li looked at the performance on the stage and couldn't help but say: "The dance is so good, no wonder I won the award last year." ”

"Won the award last year? Why did you perform in Beijing this year? Chen Li'an asked suspiciously, he thought it was this year's award-winning work.

Gong Li shook her head and said, "How do I know, look good, don't talk." ”

Chen Li'an: "." Didn't you speak first!

The sullen Chen Li'an turned his head and continued to watch the performance, the dance was indeed very good, smart and elegant, but with a sense of dignified atmosphere, the actor showed the melancholy of Mrs. Xiang's longing and grief but not seeing it very well.

Thinking of this, Chen Li'an picked up the repertoire and wanted to see who danced this paragraph.

Mrs. Chu Yunxiang, performer Liu Xiaoli. Chen Li'an looked at the name on it, his expression was a little strange, and it turned out to be this one after a long time.

No wonder he looks so good, and he dances well.

Gong Li turned her head to look at Chen Li'an, who didn't watch the performance seriously, and couldn't help but hit him and asked, "You don't like to watch dance dramas?" ”

"No, Mrs. Xiang's unit is very good." Chen Li'an shook his head and said, "I suddenly thought of the beginning of Mrs. Xiang's sentence. ”

Gong Li suddenly became curious, and asked in a low voice: "Which sentence, will you still recite Chu Ci?" ”

"The emperor descended to Beizhu, and his eyes were sorrowful." Chen Li'an recited it in a low voice, and then said to Gong Li angrily: "Isn't it strange to be able to recite Chu Ci, I can also recite the Book of Poetry, I usually have nothing to read more books." ”

Gong Li: "." You're high! You're amazing! You'll look down on me because you're going to recite it!

Gong Li, who was a little angry, turned her head and ignored Chen Li'an, you can still see a sense of superiority after watching a performance, dog man! It's amazing!

Chen Li'an didn't care about Gong Li's reaction, he really didn't think about pretending, he just happened to remember that he had acted in the drama Qu Yuan in his previous life and studied Qu Yuan's words.

Mrs. Xiang was written by Qu Yuan, and her description of love is both sad and innocent.

Gong Li was still a little sullen on the side, flipped through the repertoire introduction sheet in her hand, and then saw this Mrs. Xiang on the back, and immediately felt a little funny.

"What, I just saw it, and I said I could carry it." Gong Li thought that Chen Li'an had just looked through the repertoire list, and naturally thought that he was deliberately pretending to be erudite in front of him, and couldn't help muttering: "The little man is quite cute." ”

The cute and pretending little man, looking at Liu Xiaoli on the stage at this time, couldn't help but marvel at her beauty.

Vermilion lips and teeth, and the concubine is only a concubine; Blue straight eyebrows, beautiful eyes.

Rich flesh and micro bones, adjusted to entertain only; Small waist and neck, if Xianbei only.

Tsk, I really know how to pretend, Chen Li'an complained about himself in his heart, but just one sentence is really good-looking, and it really can't describe the amazing beauty.

Especially when the water sleeves were thrown up, the sense of amazement was particularly strong, Chen Li'an leaned on the back of the chair and watched Liu Xiaoli throw the water blue water sleeves high and then take them lightly, really appreciating her dancing skills.

Worthy of an award-winning work, Chen Li'an couldn't help but applaud with the rest of the audience after the short ten-minute performance.

"Do you think this dance is good?" Gong Li clapped her hands and asked, Chu Yun has a total of nine units, nine Chu Ci, Mrs. Xiang is just one of them, and Chen Li'an did not applaud so seriously in the previous units.

Chen Li'an stopped applauding, nodded seriously, and said, "That section of water sleeves is amazing." ”

Gong Li also nodded in approval and said: "Indeed, that actor, your water sleeves are estimated to be four or five meters apart, and it is really not good if you don't have a solid foundation." ”

"By the way, do you want to send a flower basket?" Gong Li suddenly looked into Chen Li'an's eyes and asked.

"Huh?" Chen Li'an was stunned for a moment in the face of Gong Li's sudden question, then shook his head and said, "It's not an acquaintance who sends any flowers." ”

The corners of Gong Li's mouth hooked up with a smile, and she looked at Chen Li'an playfully and said, "Don't you know each other if you send it, don't you appreciate other people's water sleeves very much." ”

"Did you learn this yin and yang weirdness from your brother?" Chen Li'an glanced at Gong Li, feeling that his good sister and Zhang Guorong were infected after playing mahjong twice.

"Just kidding, you're serious." Gong Li's eyes wandered, and with a smile on her face, she picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of tea, then turned her head to continue looking at the next unit.

Chen Li'an also took a sip of the cup and continued to appreciate the last unit.

Ten minutes later, after the end of the last unit, the entire Chu Yun dance drama ended, the lights in the theater were turned on, and the actors on the stage all came to the stage to start thanking.

Chen Li'an and all the audience members also stood up and applauded, expressing the audience's gratitude and encouragement to the actors.

The audience was also scattered, and many people ran up to the stage from the audience to offer flowers, most of the actors received flowers, Gong Li touched Chen Li'an with her arm next to her and said, "Really don't you want to send a flower?" ”

"If you change a flower for me, I'll give it away!" Chen Li'an said angrily: "Bored, let's go, I'm hungry if I haven't eaten at night." ”

"What's the hurry, come back with me and say hello to my friends." Gong Li shook the ticket in her hand and said, "People send me tickets, and I have to say thank you when I come." ”

Contacts are inevitable, Chen Li'an nodded and followed Gong Li to the backstage.

At this time, the backstage was very chaotic, and the actors at the end of the performance chatted with friends who were either removing makeup or holding flowers.

Gong Li and Chen Li'an shuttled through the corridor, walking towards the theater office area.

However, Gong Li didn't see her friend in the office, there was only an eldest sister in the office who was boredly eating melon seeds, and Gong Li only knew that her friend was busy sending the leader of the performance in front of her.

Running back again, Chen Li'an was too lazy to move, and said to Gong Li: "You go, I won't go." ”

Gong Li looked at Chen Li'an's lack of interest, and did not force him to wait here, and came back after saying hello.

Looking at Gong Li's departing back, Chen Li'an stood at the door of the theater office, glanced at the white wall, and then took out a cigarette and lit it.

The backstage dressing room is too noisy, which always reminds Chen Li'an of when he acted in dramas in his previous life, and he will inevitably miss his former life.

"I'm afraid the order of tomorrow's appearance will not be good, and the repertoire list has been decided." A man on the other side of the corridor looked a little helpless and followed behind a woman, and his mouth full of Wuhan dialect sounded quite interesting.

Chen Li'an turned his head and glanced at it, and recognized the "Mrs. Xiang" with the man at a glance, leaning against the wall and looking at them with interest.

Mrs. Xiang's expression was not very good-looking, she looked at the head of the troupe and said, "Commander, I really can't help it, I have to go back tomorrow night and transfer Mrs. Xiang to the first performance." ”

The head of the regiment sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, I also know the situation at your home, I'll go and ask." ”

Chen Li'an heard their conversation and probably understood, but he didn't think that a local song and dance troupe could make the Beijing Theater change the order of the repertoire.

The tickets have been sold, the repertoire list has been completed, and the most important thing is that there has been a performance today, how can it be possible to change the order.

The head of the song and dance troupe and Liu Xiaoli walked towards the office, Chen Li'an stood in the corridor outside the door and smoked, and saw Liu Xiaoli with makeup on her face clearly, she really looked good.

When the head of the song and dance troupe saw Chen Li'an standing at the door of the door's office, he thought he was a staff member of the theater, so he came over and asked, "Is your manager here?" ”

Liu Xiaoli also turned her eyes to Chen Li'an, and was slightly stunned after seeing Chen Li'an's appearance, this is a star face, whether it is acting or dancing, it is more than enough.

Faced with the question of the head of the song and dance troupe, Chen Li'an flicked the cigarette ash into the trash can and said: "I'm not from the theater, I came to see the performance, you can go in and ask." ”

"Oh, I'm sorry." The head of the song and dance troupe said quickly, then glanced at the empty office through the small window on the door, knocked on the door and leaned in to ask.

"I don't know, you can wait here for a while." The eldest sister in the office glanced up and replied.

The head of the song and dance troupe nodded with a smile and thanked him, then exited the office and turned his head to Liu Xiaoli and said, "No one is here, you wait here for a while, when the people come back, you go and call me, I will go and arrange the affairs of the other people in the group first." ”

Liu Xiaoli was a little anxious, but she had no choice but to nod and say to the head of the group: "Trouble the head of the group, then I'll wait here." ”

The head of the song and dance troupe looked at Liu Xiaoli again and again, and finally sighed and turned to leave.

At the door of the office, Liu Xiaoli paced back and forth a little irritably, quite anxious about Mrs. Xiang looking forward to her beloved on the stage.

Chen Li'an smoked a cigarette and looked at Liu Xiaoli, who looked depressed, and felt that his luck was quite good, and he could watch Mrs. Xiang again after watching the performance.

Perhaps Chen Li'an's gaze was a little direct, and Liu Xiaoli, who was restless, also noticed it, and nodded at him apologetically when she stopped.

Chen Li'an knew that she had misunderstood, but instead of explaining, he boasted: "Mrs. Xiang just now is very good, looking forward to your performance tomorrow." ”

Liu Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Thank you." ”

It seems a little rude to reply with only one thank you, after all, it is the audience who came to see the performance, so he added another sentence and said: "It may be a little earlier tomorrow, if you want to see it, remember to come early." ”

Chen Li'an smiled, pressed the cigarette butt in his hand and threw it into the trash can and said, "I just heard you say that you want to change the order, this matter is estimated to be difficult, don't expect too much." ”

After hearing Chen Li'an's words, a trace of helplessness flashed on Liu Xiaoli's face, and she replied softly: "I know, but I can't help it, I have to try." ”

Chen Li'an is actually quite curious about why Liu Xiaoli shook the order of appearance, for stage actors, the stage is bigger than the sky has always been the most important criterion, and a request like Liu Xiaoli is generally not made.

However, this is someone's private matter, and Chen Li'an won't ask more, just nodded and replied: "I hope you can go well, your dancing is really good, and you will definitely become a celebrity in the future." ”

It's just that Chen Li'an still admires her quite much if she doesn't rely on dancing, she can give up dancing that has been insisted on for so many years, and she has already achieved something.

"Thank you."

In the face of the encouragement and affirmation of strangers, Liu Xiaoli's face has improved a lot, she has suffered from family resistance and opposition in recent years, and she is really about to give up.

The two stood at the door of the theater office and began to chat.

"Are you waiting for someone too?" Liu Xiaoli asked curiously.

"Yes." Chen Li'an nodded and explained: "I came with a friend, she had a friend in the theater and went to say hello." ”

Know someone in theater? Liu Xiaoli thought for a moment and asked, "What do your friends' friends do in the theater?" ”

"Huh?" Chen Li'an was stunned for a moment and vaguely guessed Liu Xiaoli's thoughts, shook his head and said, "I don't know, it should be a middle and high-level person." ”

It's not the middle and high-level leaders of the theater who won't come forward to see the performance, but I don't know what the specific position is.

Hearing Chen Li'an's words, Liu Xiaoli nodded slightly and looked at him with a hesitant look, but still didn't say if she could help introduce it.

Chen Li'an saw Liu Xiaoli's hesitation, thought for a while and said, "I'll help you ask later, if I can help you." ”

"Really?" Liu Xiaoli's eyes lit up and she said with surprise: "Thank you, if you can, I will invite you to dinner with your friends." ”

"Don't be so polite, can you talk about it, maybe people are just a little leader and can't help you."

This kind of thing is uncertain, who can guarantee that it will be successful, and Chen Li'an doesn't know if Gong Li's friends will be willing to help.

It's not so easy to change the order of the performance.

"Thank you anyway." Liu Xiaoli said with some gratitude, it would be really touching that someone could lend a helping hand when encountering difficulties in an unfamiliar environment, even if she couldn't help in the end, she would be grateful.

Chen Li'an shook his head and didn't speak, turned his head to look at the end of the corridor where footsteps came from, and saw Gong Li and a few people walking over talking and laughing.

Gong Li saw Chen Li'an from afar, and recognized at a glance that the dancer opposite Chen Li'an was Mrs. Dancing Xiang, a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes, but the expression on her face did not change at all.

A man walking with Gong Li, with his hands behind his back in front of him, asked with a kind smile: "When will the movie of you and Kai Clicquot be completed, and now we are waiting for him to come back with another Cannes." ”

When Gong Li heard this question, she suddenly thought of what Chen Li'an said in Suzhou at the time, this movie may not win the award, but this kind of assertion is good if you know it, and you can't tell others.

"It may take next year to finish, Director Cheng is very attentive to this movie, and the filming is relatively slow." Gong Li explained with a smile.

"That's sure to win the prize." The manager of the theater is also Gong Li's friend, and said with a smile: "This time, you have to come back with a queen trophy." ”

"I hope so." Gong Li smiled, but she knew very well in her heart that there was not much hope, and it would be good to have a nomination.

The theater manager and the leader both smiled, thinking that Gong Li was modest, and she was the actress who won the most awards at the three major European film festivals in China, and as long as she played well, she was still very promising.

"That's your friend, isn't that an actor?" The theater manager knew that Gong Li was coming with friends today, so he took the initiative to ask.

Gong Li struggled for a moment and said: "Sort of, is he a painter or a photographer, and the things I was looking for you to help with the exhibition before were to help him." ”

The theater manager suddenly thought for a while and said, "I remember, I finally went to the film festival held by the National Art Museum of China, and I heard that it was quite successful." ”

When the leader who walked in front with his hands behind his back heard this, he looked sideways at Gong Li and asked, "Is it called Chen Li'an?" ”

"Director Wang knows?" Gong Li asked in surprise.

The leader called Director Wang nodded, and then said: "Someone mentioned in the meeting two days ago that it is ready to support some promising young artists. ”

There is another thing that Director Wang didn't say, why did the meeting support young artists, the center of the meeting that day was to discuss the ban on the Yuanmingyuan Painters' Village.

Hundreds of people get together all day long to criticize all kinds of problems, and the hidden danger is very big, and if it is not good, it will become a work of art that has a bad impact on society like those people in the East Village.

Artists also need to be managed and guided, but they can't be beaten to death with a stick, they have to be supported while fighting.

As for the artists who support something, it is needless to say more, and Chen Li'an has naturally remembered it because the previous film festival has played a positive role in the society.

Gong Li heard Director Wang say that a group of young artists should be supported, and she suddenly knew in her heart that there must be Chen Li'an in the list, otherwise how could a leader remember the name Chen Li'an.

A few people chatted while walking, and when they came to the door of the office, Chen Li'an didn't know who the two people who came with Gong Li were, so he nodded and said hello.

Director Wang looked at Chen Li'an's refreshing and uneven hairstyle, and immediately had a lot of good feelings, which was much more pleasing to the eyes than those artists with long hair.

The point is that they are much better looking than those people, and they don't have the smell of "dangerous elements".

"You're Chen Li'an, right?" Director Wang asked with a smile, then reached out and patted Chen Li'an on the shoulder and said, "The young man is good, he should be like you when he engages in art, and it would be good if all young artists were like you." ”

Chen Li'an was extremely puzzled, just now when Director Wang wanted to reach out and pat him on the shoulder, if it wasn't for Gong Li's constant looks, he almost didn't take a step back to dodge.

Listening to Director Wang's words, although Chen Li'an didn't know who he was, he still squeezed out a smile and replied, "Thank you." ”

At this time, Gong Li hurriedly stood up and introduced: "Li'an, this is Director Wang of the Ministry of Culture, and this is Manager Liu of the theater. ”

Director Wang waved his hand and said modestly: "It's time to get off work, don't call it director, everyone is an art worker." ”

"Director Wang is right, everyone is a literary and artistic worker." Manager Liu also smiled and agreed.

"Director Wang is right!" Chen Li'an looked at Director Wang, who was full of officialdom with his hands behind his back, and listened to Manager Liu's words again, the corners of his eyes twitched, hmm. It's so convincing!

Liu Xiaoli, who was standing next to her, looked at this scene, not to mention how surprised she was, the director of the Ministry of Culture? Big star Gong Li? The man who just spoke to himself is an artist. What's it called? How did I forget to ask the name.

Well. What did others call him just now? Chen: What's coming from?
