Chapter 26: Applause erupts

Shanghai Majestic Theatre.

Today, "Teahouse" will be staged here, and Renyi's Shanghai performance will start here and end here.

After the performance in Shanghai was finalized, he finally fulfilled his desire to stand on the big stage in Shanghai, and he memorized lines at home every day, so that the load was too great, he was excited, and he was hospitalized with high blood pressure and heart disease.

After treatment, he finally came to Shanghai before the opening of the teahouse......

Jiang Xun had never seen such a lively theater in his previous life, and it was full of audiences, because the audience far exceeded the number of seats, and even if the orchestra pit was opened as a temporary audience, performance tickets were still in short supply.

There was no way, so the theater took out the loudspeaker, and those college students who didn't buy tickets and didn't want to leave gathered in the autumn night breeze to "listen to the play" outside the theater door.

Before the performance, the theater staff was about to "invite out" an audience member who did not have a ticket, but the man said embarrassedly: "I am Ying Ruocheng......"

Oh, at this time, he is xxx of the Ministry of Culture, and he is also Liu Mazi in the teahouse......

……

There was already a crowd of people outside the theater door, backstage, so he silently put on makeup in front of the mirror.

In Jiang Xun's eyes, this sixty-one-year-old man, wearing an ordinary white shirt, sat calmly in front of the mirror and put on makeup, no different from his performance before he performed in "Teahouse" before going on stage.

Jiang Xun sat quietly next to him like this, watching him become the shopkeeper of the teahouse Wang Lifa because of what he was.

At this time, the old actors backstage were preparing for the next performance, so one of them looked up, and Lan Tianye and Yingruocheng came over, "When it comes to the stage, you can help me carry it a little more, I'm afraid that my health is not good, I don't perform well, and I can't live with the audience." "He's still not very comfortable with his body.

Lan Tianye and Ying Ruocheng both smiled and didn't speak.

"Alas, sooner or later the teahouse will have to be handed over to them." So he looked at Jiang Xun beside him.

"Or, you're going to play Liu Mazi?" Ying Ruocheng smiled and patted the young man's head affectionately.

Such a handsome young man plays Liu Mazi? Everyone laughed.

"Let's let him play your second master Qin......" So he looked at Lan Tianye.

"Then you have to be a good announcer first," Lan Tianye stretched out his hand to straighten Jiang Xun's tie, "Go ahead." ”

At this time, the curtain had not yet opened, the theater bell had not yet sounded, the auditorium was not as noisy as before, and people tried to keep their voices down and whisper conversations, waiting for the arrival of the sacred moment.

Jiang Xun took a deep breath and slowly walked onto the stage.

The light hit his face and warmed his heart.

Wow –

Caught off guard, a wave of applause rang out, and in an instant, on this autumn night in Shanghai, Jiang Xun felt his own tears swirling in his eyes......

"Good evening, Shanghai audience and friends, everyone......"

"Alright, it's time for us old guys to play." looked at Jiang Xun on the stage, and suddenly seemed to have changed.

His aura on stage is not the domineering type of "I'm coming", not very public, nor does it show the dew, but inadvertently, brings out the spirit and spirit of the characters, which makes people remember, reminisce, and unforgettable.

Bell Bell Bell –

The theater bell rang, and Jiang Xun walked quickly behind the scenes, looking at the stage intently.

The lights in the theater suddenly turned on, and the curtain slowly opened.

Characters from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China appeared on the stage, drinking tea and chatting, like a scrolling painting scroll, bringing the audience to the old times of Lao She's pen.

In the audience, the audience waited with bated breath to see Boss Wang standing in front of the counter and wiping the table with his hands and feet, and then he added tea and water to the customers and lectured the shopkeeper......

Jiang Xun didn't move, looking at the people on the stage, Lan Tianye, Zheng Rong, Lin Liankun...... Appearing in turn, I'm afraid there won't be many opportunities like this in the future.

……

Second Master Qin: When it's okay, you can talk to the people who drink tea as a joke, you said that there was such a Qin person who didn't know what to do, who loved to run an industry and ran it for decades, and the result was ......

You should advise everyone that if you have money, you have to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, but don't do good deeds. Tell them that Qin is in his seventies, and when he still has some breath, he understands this truth!

Chang Siye: ...... But I am myself, I, I love our country, but who loves me!

No, when I met the funeral, I picked up so much paper money, there was no coffin, no shroud, so I had to prepare some paper money for myself!

……

The paper money in the sky was raised, and the shopkeeper Wang picked up the belt on the back of the chair, turned back and walked backstage, and a tragedy ended.

The curtain slowly closed, and there was suddenly no sound between heaven and earth.

Jiang Xun's ears were still echoing with So Zhi's words backstage, "I'm afraid that my health is not good, my performance is not good, and I can't live with the audience......"

Yes, the audience Jiang Xun didn't know, but at this time, the audience was silent, and the audience didn't seem to know that the performance was over.

The strange silence lasted for a while, and just as the actors were at a loss, the audience erupted in a storm of applause that lasted for more than two minutes.

Jiang Xun felt that all of a sudden, as if the audience who had been holding back all night suddenly woke up.

The applause grew louder and louder, mixed with the shouts of the audience, and it was like a storm that overwhelmed everyone.

Instead of heading out of the theater, the audience flocked to the stage, clapping and shouting in greetings to the authors and actors.

All the actors, as well as the newspaper reporters, were excitedly bowing to everyone and returning the salute.

But there were more and more people, because after the performance, the theater let the college students come in to watch the curtain call and help them fulfill their wishes.

Such a performance can make Jiang Xun remember it for a lifetime.

That night, no one left the theater early, no one cared about the last bus, and he heard sighs and cries from the audience.

In the audience, Sun Daolin, Yuan Xuefen and others stood up, and many viewers were already in tears...... Jiang Xun's tears also flowed out.

The applause was something he had never experienced in his previous life, like a tide, and it was a moment for an actor to survive.

……

No one spoke.

On the way back to Shenjiang Hotel, everyone seemed to be silent, until they got out of the car, Wu Gang said angrily, "I was listening in the background just now, Yuyuan, Mr. Amano wants to pass on the teahouse to Xunzi." ”

"We are from class 85, he is from class 87, there is always one who comes first and then comes!" Wu Gang motioned to Ding Zhicheng that he had to stand on the same line with him.

Ding Zhicheng was in a good mood and ignored him, "Hey, I just learned a song, and you sing it with me......"

Yes?

Wu Gang showed a confused look, but he heard Ding Zhicheng sing, "There is a vine in front of Amen......

"The vine." Wu Gang consciously beat the beat.

"Anen Anen green has just sprouted, and the snail is carrying the heavy shell, climbing up step by step......"

"Wait, you mean he's a snail and we're a oriole?" Wu Gang interrupted Ding Zhicheng.

"No," Ding Zhicheng waved his hand, "It's not us, it's you, you have to remove the first two words, you're just a bird......"

Bird?

Wu Gang suddenly grabbed Ding Zhicheng's neck, "Your uncle, a magic stick, you are a stick!" ”

"Isn't that different?" Ding Zhicheng laughed and coughed, "It's just two states of being able to bend and stretch......"
