Chapter 7: Puppet Tourist Town (5)
The audience in the audience looked sad and angry, as if they were the puppets in the play, and it was really rare for people to be able to empathize like this.
Just as Su Yun wanted to take a closer look at what was going on on the hanging silk play on the stage, a young woman walked from the side.
She looked at about twenty-six or seven, with a big wave, delicate makeup, wearing a well-cut cheongsam, with a plush shoulder draped over her shoulders, looking very noble, she was very tall, more than one meter and seven, standing a few centimeters taller than Su Yun, holding an all-wood folding fan in her hand, with a friendly and moving smile.
She said, "Guest, are you watching the play?" ”
"My name is Aya, and I'm the owner of the theater."
Su Yun said: "What kind of play are you playing?" It's not like those plays on canvas. ”
As soon as I said this, something outrageous happened, and I listened to the original mournful singing abruptly stopped, and turned into some cheerful tunes.
Aya looked surprised, "How come," she smiled and covered her lips with a folding fan, "What about the guests to take a look at again?" ”
Su Yun glanced over Aya, looked at the stage, and found that the dolls on the stage had changed at some point, and they had been replaced by the delicate dolls on the canvas, and the faces of the guests in the audience were no longer sad and angry, they had different expressions, some were interested in the repertoire on the stage, and some were bored.
Su Yun's eyes widened slightly, her heart beat faster, and the scene in front of her seemed familiar, similar to the scene on the bus she saw when she first opened her eyes when she first entered the game.
Aya hooked the corners of her lips, and began to introduce the track staged by the hanging silk puppet on the stage, which was a romantic love story with a cheerful tone, Su Yun listened politely, did not interrupt, and after Aya finished introducing it, she said the purpose of the trip.
"Boss, do you still have apprentices here?"
Aya was slightly stunned, and suddenly smiled, "Recruit." ”
She looked at Su Yun fixedly, "You should have read the apprenticeship requirements, I don't have any requirements for your education and industry, now that the traditional culture is gone, I just want to accept someone who can develop the puppet show, as long as you are interested in the puppet show." ”
Seeing that Su Yun had no opinion, Aya turned around, "Come with me, I'll take you to get to know." ”
Su Yun nodded and followed, and Aya, who was walking in front, said as he introduced, "You can pay your salary on a daily basis, go to the theater at nine o'clock in the morning, and get off work at half past nine in the evening, and I will ask the master who taught you the puppet show to give you the salary, including lunch, but not accommodation." ”
"This is the stage, if you finish your studies in the future, you can perform on stage."
After walking through the stage and coming to the backstage of the theater, Aya pointed to the closed door on the left, "That's the cafeteria, it's usually closed, it won't open until twelve o'clock at noon, and when it closes, you can just go in at that time." ”
As he spoke, he led Su Yun upstairs, and met several theater staff on the way, and nodded and said hello to Aya one by one.
Aya introduced in detail: The first floor is a place where employees often stay, and some sets and props will be placed, and puppet shows should also keep pace with the times, not only puppeteers, but also more scenes, which are more attractive to watch.
The second floor is where the puppets are placed, and the apprentices are also on the second floor.
On the third floor, there are some old objects, which are easily damaged, and employees are forbidden to enter.
When she said this, she smiled and continued: "If you are curious and have to go in, you will stay forever if you encounter anything or damage." ”
When she said this, her eyes were very soft, even faintly encouraging.
Su Yun guessed that players should need to meet certain conditions before the NPCs in the dungeon can attack the player.
As long as those conditions are not triggered, there is no danger to your life, and there is no need to be overly afraid of the quest NPC.
As long as it wasn't suddenly shocking, Su Yun could accept the fact that he was in the copy without changing his face.
Aya saw that Su Yun had no intention of exploring the third floor, and she was a little lacking in interest, so she brought people into the second floor, and there was a classical wall clock on the wall of the second floor, which was swinging and shaking, showing that it was more than eleven o'clock.
A small stage was set up in the middle, and there were a lot of puppets in the hall, all kinds, but they were also taught to be traditional puppets, they were not as realistic as those hanging under the eaves of the B&B, but they were also a little more beautiful than the puppets in the impression.
Su Yun took a cursory look, and there were no old puppets that were performing on the stage at the beginning.
Aya smiled and said, "Isn't it much better than what you've seen before?" ”
Su Yun nodded honestly, these puppets are indeed beautiful, she has seen that there is a resin-like joint puppet in reality, the price is not cheap, called BJD, and it is imitated in the proportion of real people, and the pastel is painted with makeup, which is very similar to real people, and it has achieved the beauty that real people can't reach.
The face of the puppeteer here is not too good for BJD.
Aya is very proud, "Puppet shows naturally have to keep pace with the times, some people are afraid of the appearance of puppets in the past, few people look at them, and now puppets are made into beautiful shapes,"
There will still be people who are afraid.
Su Yun thought silently, some people are naturally afraid of humanoid things.
However, such a beautiful existence, if you add a brilliant script, it is indeed more attractive to watch.
It seems that both the mayor of Puppet Town and the owner of the theater really want the puppet show to flourish... Why?
Out of the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage, or... What are the other reasons?
I don't know.
On the second floor, in addition to the hall where the puppeteers were placed, there were also two rooms with doors, both doors were closed, and Aya knocked on one of them, "Xiao Zhang, the apprentice is here." ”
As soon as the words fell, the door was opened from the inside, and a middle-aged woman walked out of it, she looked like she was forty or fifty years old, her figure was a little thin, but her eyes were very focused, her eyes fell on Su Yun, she was slightly stunned, and then she was happy.
Aya said, "Her name is Zhang Mu, and she will teach you the silk puppet, you can call her master." ”
Zhang Mu said with a smile, "If you don't dare to be, you can call me Sister Zhang in the future, or Xiao Zhang." ”
"......" Su Yun smiled, "Okay, Sister Zhang." ”
Obviously, Aya looks like she is in her twenties, and she is still very young.
Is it very senior? Still have some weird fetishes......
"My name is Su Yun, and I will trouble Sister Zhang in the future."
Aya didn't ask Su Yun what her name was along the way, originally Su Yun was going to say it at first, but she was interrupted, as if she had already known her name, or didn't care at all, and then led Su Yun to introduce her, and talked endlessly all the way, so she didn't have a chance to speak.
Zhang Mu didn't react much to Su Yun's name, and her joy didn't change in the slightest.
Aya eyebrows curled: "From now on, Ah Yun, you can study with Xiao Zhang, when you get off work in the evening, I will ask Xiao Zhang to pay you the salary, although it is not too early, you are also the first day to come, and I will pay you a salary of 1,000 after work tonight." ”
Su Yun was a little moved, she really looked like a good boss, at least much better than the boss who always made people work overtime, and even didn't understand it but still pointed fingers.
Aya finished speaking and left.
Zhang Mu led the people to introduce the silk puppet, which is a rope tied to the bottom of the puppet's hands, feet, shoulders, ears and spine, pointing to the gods. The puppeteer will follow the movements of your fingers, and on that basis, give it charm.
Su Yun first followed Zhang Mu to understand the hanging silk puppet, and when it was time to eat, he asked Zhang Mu to shout and go to the cafeteria for lunch, and during the lunch break, Su Yun sat on the open-air stage on the first floor for a while.
The puppet show seems to be watched by the same group of people, they eat the lunch provided by the theater while watching the play performed on the stage, the play is still the one told by the boss, and the two happy enemies who love each other open their hearts because of the small misunderstanding resolved.
Su Yun is not particularly interested in love dramas, and the next content direction is unsurprisingly a happy ending, there is nothing special, and no tasks are triggered.
After that, when it was time to go to work, he continued to follow Zhang Mu to seriously learn the operation of the hanging silk puppet.
If the suspense puppet wants to learn to perform on stage, it is not overnight, even if the brain remembers it, it has to be practiced to give it charm, so that they can interpret the life of ordinary people like real people.
Zhang Mu was very satisfied with this smart apprentice who studied seriously, and the joy in his eyes came from the bottom of his heart, and at half past nine in the evening, Zhang Mu handed over his salary to Su Yun and told Su Yun to put the puppet man away, leave early after cleaning, and don't stay.
Zhang Mu said when he left: "At this time, everyone is going back to their respective homes after work, Ayun had better hurry back to the hotel, don't play at night, the lights should be turned off in the town after a while, the lights are blind at night, don't fall at night, such a big beauty, it won't look good if you fall on your face." ”
She really seemed to be reminding herself. This made Su Yun feel very surprised.
After all, as far as the receptionist and the boss were concerned, it could be seen in their words that they wanted her to stay.
After Zhang Mu left, Su Yun cleaned up the puppeteers who practiced his hands, put them back in place, cleaned the stage and the second floor, and went downstairs after doing this.
As Zhang Mu said, the old staff of the theater had already left, and when she came to the first floor, she saw the door of the canteen open, and the dim light was shining inside, and an attractive fragrance came to her nose.
I can't smell the specific dish, but it is very gluttonous, and the theater does not include food in the afternoon, so she has no money to go out of the theater to buy food, so she is hungry until now.
Lured by the fragrance, the stomach rings very cheerfully, and it is unusually loud in the quiet theater at night.
Su Yun didn't say a word, just raised his leg and ran.
The cafeteria is open for an hour except at noon, and it should be closed on weekdays.
Although he was extremely hungry, he had only one life. Don't try it lightly.
When he came to the open-air theater in the theater, Su Yun paused.
The reason is that the theater should have been dispersed a long time ago, and the staff had already gone home, but a puppet show was being staged on the stage, with a faintly bleak background music and the mournful singing of the female puppet in the play.
There was only one person in the audience, and the others were vacant, and that person sat in the center of the audience, and his figure was very familiar.
…… Friendship?
Su Yun's expression was solemn, no, it wasn't Aya.
