All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

In the blink of an eye, it was already the summer of [-].

At this time, it has been more than four years since Yue Wenxuan went to Hong Kong to perform.

Since he has been staying in China for the past few years and has not accepted performance invitations from foreign groups, the sensation caused by his performances on Hong Kong Island that year has gradually subsided.

Especially after entering [-], he never received an invitation to perform from any foreign group.

There is no performance task today, after work, Yue Wenxuan kills time as usual.

When he was about to leave work at noon, Director Yang called and asked him to go to the office.

Yue Wenxuan took a box of tea from the drawer of the desk, and walked into Director Yang's office casually.

As soon as he entered the door, he said: "There is no leader like you who always asks for bribes from me, who is a subordinate. This is the last box of Anxi Tieguanyin. After drinking it, you can find a way by yourself and don't look for it again." me."

Director Yang quickly put the box of Anxi Tieguanyin in the drawer, "Don't be so stingy, it's just a box of tea, this is what the leader thinks highly of you.

If you behave well in the future, you must remember to bribe me, the director, at worst, and I will return you a few meal tickets for the cafeteria next month. "

"Don't mention your meal tickets, you are also the leader of our theater after all, just want to exchange tea with me for just a few meal tickets, you are too shabby."

After the two chatted a few words, Director Yang said:
"I called you here this time because I have an important task for you. This is a task arranged by our immediate leader. You are not allowed to refuse."

"When did I refuse the mission you arranged? Whether it's going to a remote mountainous area or going to a military camp, I didn't go all the way."

"It's good if you are willing to cooperate, this time it is the mission to go to Hong Kong Island with the group to perform.

This visit is very important, and you are an artist specially invited by Hong Kong Island.

This invitation is fundamentally different from the previous invitations of foreign groups. The leader calls for you to participate by name, and you are not allowed to refuse. Director Yang said with a serious expression.

"Since it is a task assigned by the leader, I will definitely cooperate actively."

This time Yue Wenxuan did not refuse, and agreed very happily.

Just like Director Yang said, this time is a political task, and he cannot refuse it.

Another reason is that after entering [-], this special period will end in another three years. Yue Wenxuan no longer needs to be as cautious as before, and can take a little bigger steps.

This is already the second time to go to Hong Kong Island to perform. With the experience of the last time, I have made more preparations before the trip.

This time when they went to Hong Kong with the group, Ruan Bingling helped pack the luggage, and Yue Wenxuan hardly did anything.

After arriving on Hong Kong Island, Yue Wenxuan found a familiar figure among the welcoming team.

This person is Huang Huaisheng who was in charge of receiving them at the Hong Kong Island office last time.

Looking at where Huang Huaisheng was standing, it was obvious that he was no longer the small leader he was in the past, and his position must have been greatly improved.

Huang Huaisheng had obviously spotted Yue Wenxuan, and after meeting his gaze, he nodded and smiled.

After going through a series of procedures, returning to the accommodation, and everyone settled down, Huang Huaisheng knocked on Yue Wenxuan's door.

Yue Wenxuan opened the door and was surprised to see Huang Huaisheng, "Director Huang, please come in."

After entering the room and sitting down, Huang Huaisheng said with emotion: "Comrade Wenxuan, it is really not easy to invite you to come to Hong Kong Island once.

In the past few years, I only know that there are more than a dozen major Hong Kong island groups that have invited you to perform, but it is a pity that you have rejected them all.

You don't know how big a sensation you caused when you came to Hong Kong Island last time. The literary and art circles on Hong Kong Island and the audience who were lucky enough to watch the performance that day all highly respect you.

These people are looking forward to your visit to Hong Kong Island again. Unfortunately, it has been a few years and this has not happened. "

Yue Wenxuan said: "It's not that I don't want to come to Hong Kong Island to perform. The main reason is that the domestic performance tasks are also very heavy, and I really don't have time to spare."

Of course Huang Huaisheng would not believe such an explanation, but he had no intention of delving into it, and continued:
"Do you still remember Tang Weibin, the director of the show you performed in Hong Kong last time?"

"Of course I remember, I was very impressed with him."

"This time, he invited you here because he strongly recommended it."

"A few years have passed, and Director Tang has not forgotten me. When I see him again, I want to express my gratitude to him."

Yue Wenxuan felt that Huang Huaisheng mentioned Tang Weibin for more than just this reason.

Sure enough, Huang Huaisheng continued: "Tang Weibin admires you very much, it is rare for you to come to Hong Kong Island, and he hopes to keep you for a while.

After the performance of the visiting group this time, there will be two performances spontaneously organized by the public. He is eager to invite you to participate in the performance.

In order to facilitate this matter, he even contacted two well-known pai people.

These two have a lot of face, and the leaders above attach great importance to it. I hope you can agree to it.

I came to see you this time. On the one hand, I have not seen you for many years, and I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you. On the other hand, I am also formally asking for your opinion. "

It was said that he was asking for his opinion, but in fact Yue Wenxuan had no room to refuse at all, so saying this was just to look good.

In the past, he was able to refuse the performance invitations of those foreign groups, not because of his face, but because the leaders above had various concerns, so he had the right to refuse.

Once the leader above decides something, he can only cooperate, and he cannot be allowed to act according to his personal wishes.

Seeing that there will be another three years, the special period will be over, and Yue Wenxuan no longer resists similar invitations.

Yue Wenxuan also said with a serious expression: "Since it is a task assigned by the leader, I will definitely complete it earnestly, and I will definitely not embarrass our domestic literary and art circles."

Seeing Yue Wenxuan agree so readily, Huang Huaisheng was also very happy.Knowing that he and Yue Wenxuan knew each other, the leader entrusted him with this task. Naturally, he didn't want any twists and turns.

"Thanks to Comrade Wenxuan for his support and cooperation. Our work here is not easy, and we have to rely on the strong support of the leftists on Hong Kong Island in many aspects.

We must pay attention to the common demands and voices of these people.

And we also think that this is not a bad thing. Comrade Wenxuan's reputation in the literary and art circles on Hong Kong Island, and even conquering the audience here, is also a promotion for our mainland, and it is also a way to add luster to our mainland. "

Yue Wenxuan said modestly: "Director Huang's praise is too much. I'm just an ordinary actor, and at most I have a little bit of professional ability. I absolutely can't live up to your expectations."

"It's worth it, it's totally worth it! Don't underestimate the role of literature and art in propaganda.

I'm not arguing with you about this. How about the specific effect? ​​You'll know after your performance this time is over.

A few years ago, Comrade Wenxuan was still a young man, but now he is a strong and vigorous young man. I believe that your professional ability in singing must also make great progress. I am very much looking forward to the results of your performance this time. "

Huang Huaisheng also watched Yue Wenxuan's performance on Hong Kong Island a few years ago, and he has full confidence in him.

"I will do my best, and I will definitely not embarrass our domestic literary and art circles.

If I stay and attend the next two performances, will I still be able to catch up with the time for the delegation to return home? "

Huang Huaisheng said: "It is definitely not possible to catch up. Counting from today, you have to stay on Hong Kong Island for at least 20 days before returning to China."

"I came here with the delegation. If I can't go back with the delegation, will there be any procedural problems?" This is what Yue Wenxuan really cares about.

"Our side has already reported to the visiting group and the domestic side. There will be no problems in the procedure. You can rest assured about this."

Huang Huaisheng gave Yue Wenxuan a reassurance.

"As long as there is no problem with the procedure, I will follow Director Huang's instructions for the work arrangement from then on."

Huang Huaisheng said modestly: "I'm just your direct contact person during the time in Hong Kong Island. We don't have a strict subordinate-subordinate relationship. If there is anything, let's discuss it."

After the matter was settled, Huang Huaisheng took his leave and left.

Yue Wenxuan was very happy to be able to stay on Hong Kong Island for 20 days.

In this era, in all aspects of life, Hong Kong Island is indeed much more advanced than China.

The conditions of accommodation and food in the office are very good, and Yue Wenxuan is happy to experience here for a longer period of time.

Originally, he was a little curious, but this time he even arranged a single room for him. Knowing the follow-up arrangements, he lived more securely.

There were only three people from the literary and art circles who accompanied the delegation this time, which was far less than Yue Wenxuan's last visit.

The other two are famous dramatists. Yue Wenxuan knew their names, but because neither of them were from Shanghai, he was not familiar with them.

On the third day after the visit, the three went to the rehearsal hall to start the rehearsal.

The three of them had just walked into the rehearsal hall, and Tang Weibin, who was having a heated discussion with the director team, happened to catch Yue Wenxuan with a glance.

Seeing Yue Wenxuan's appearance, he had a look of surprise on his face, and quickly walked towards the door to greet him.

Yue Wenxuan shook hands with him with a smile. Tang Weibin looked excited and said in Cantonese:
"Mr. Yue, I finally look forward to you!
In the past few years, I have sent you fourteen performance invitations, but unfortunately none of them have been approved. It is really a pity.

This time, in order to invite you over, I mobilized several well-known people who are passionate about piss to jointly invite you, and that's how I got my wish.

It was so difficult for us to invite Mr. Yue here, and we sincerely beg Mr. Yue to perform more performances. "

Sensing Tang Weibin's sincerity, Yue Wenxuan said happily:

"First of all, I would like to thank Director Tang for his recognition and invitation. I am also very happy to come to Hong Kong Island to perform again.

You are the director, and I am an actor. I will follow the director's instructions on how the program will be arranged. "

"Mr. Yue said so, then I'm not impolite. Can I arrange ten programs for you this time?" Tang Weibin asked a little nervously.

"As long as everyone doesn't think I take up too much time, and the audience doesn't get bored with me, then I have no problem."

"No one would dislike it, it's too late for everyone to welcome it.

Since Mr. Yue has no objection, the matter is settled like this.

Our director team still has a short meeting to be held. Mr. Yue might as well go to the lounge to rest first. If you have time, consider the choice of ten solo repertoires. "

Then he called a young man to his side, "This is Feng Zai from our director team, let him lead Mr. Yue to the rest room for a rest, you can tell him to do anything."

Under the leadership of Feng Zai, Yue Wenxuan and his party walked into a lounge with an area of ​​about [-] square meters.

Feng Zai was worried that Yue Wenxuan would dislike the rudimentary living room, so he specially explained:
"There are too many actors participating in the rehearsal this time, and there are too few lounges. The lounge assigned by Director Tang to Mr. Yue is already the one with the best conditions and the largest area."

Yue Wenxuan said: "It would be nice to have a lounge to stay in. I don't have any objections to this, so you can rest assured."

Feng Zai diligently made a pot of tea, asked Yue Wenxuan if he had any other needs, arranged everything properly, and then left.

The two famous drama masters are both over 60 years old. Among them, Mr. Liu, the oldest, said with emotion:
"This is the sixth time I have come to Hong Kong Island to perform, but I have never been treated like this before.

When I participated in rehearsals before, there was no staff to meet them, not to mention the lounge, there was no one to say hello, so I had to sit anywhere by myself.

I came to participate in the rehearsal today, and actually followed Xiaoyue to the biggest lounge. This was the first time that I received such high-standard treatment. "

Mr. Lu also said: "I really didn't expect Xiaoyue to have such a high reputation on Hong Kong Island. It seems that your performance must be very good. I have to study hard when I rehearse later."

"Mr. Lu has won the award, but he dare not compare with the two teachers. It should be me who learns from the two teachers."

Mr. Liu also said: "Don't be modest, these people from Hong Kong Island have their eyes above the top, if they don't have the ability to calm them down, the chief director will not have such a sincere attitude."

Mr. Liu and Mr. Lu each had only one program, and the repertoires performed by Yue Wenxuan were all in his heart, so he didn't need to write them out, he quickly made a selection in his mind.

The three of them were talking, and the time passed quickly. Seeing that it would be noon in one hour, the chief director Tang Weibin walked into the lounge quickly.

The rehearsal time in the morning was very tight, and Tang Weibin didn't care about being polite, and said as soon as he came in:
"Mr. Yue, have you selected all the repertoires for the ten performances?"

Yue Wenxuan picked up a piece of draft paper and handed it to Tang Weibin, "I've chosen them all, you can review them first to see if it's appropriate to perform these pieces?"

Tang Weibin took the manuscript paper, browsed it roughly, and said: "I am familiar with only seven of these ten songs, and I am not familiar with the other three.

The seven capitals I am familiar with are no problem, and they fit the theme of the party very well.

For the other three tracks, can we discuss it after the rehearsal is over? "
