Master of Chinese Opera

Chapter 11
The applause sounded, the curtain fell, and the audience left the stage one after another. Lin Yanqiu hurried backstage to take off her makeup.

Seeing Shen Yuelou's eyes chasing Lin Yanqiu's figure to the background, Lin Sinan couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "I heard that among the actors in Liyuan, regardless of gender, many people regard Boss Lin as a dream. lover.

Mrs. Shen has the same kind of admiration for Boss Lin, right? "

Full of admiration?Where is it all?
Hearing Lin Sinan's words, Shen Yuelou shook his head lightly, and replied with a helpless expression: "Director Lin really knows how to joke, if he says he's full of admiration, he can't be wrong.

It's just that Shen admired Boss Lin's accomplishments in opera art.

Therefore, I just want to talk about opera with her and exchange learning experience with her. "

"I see."

Lin Sinan was only joking, hearing Shen Yuelou's seriousness, he couldn't help but say seriously: "Actually, if Mr. Shen wants to make friends with Boss Lin, there will be a good opportunity later.

There is a dinner at Qingyuantang Restaurant at noon, which was set up by our Jiyunzhai box office to thank all the performers who sang today. Boss Lin, as a major actor, will naturally attend.

If you are not in a hurry to go back at noon, come with us to Qingyuantang Restaurant. "

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Upon receiving Lin Sinan's invitation to eat dinner, Shen Yuelou frowned slightly, feeling a little hesitant in her heart.

Go ahead, not quite right.

He is neither a box office fan of Jiyunzhai, nor an actor in today's concert, so what capacity should he take the seat?

Moreover, at the dinner table, he didn't know anyone except Lin Sinan, so would the scene be a bit awkward?

However, if he didn't go, he would miss another great opportunity to make friends with boss Lin Yanqiulin.

Seemingly seeing Shen Yuelou's concerns, Lin Sinan waved his hands, and persuaded with a light smile: "There is nothing inappropriate, this is not a formal gathering, it's just a casual meal with friends, there's nothing too particular about it .”

"OK then!"

After thinking over and over again, Shen Yuelou finally decided to follow Lin Sinan for this meal.

For this meal, Jiyunzhai was the host, and Director Lin invited him over on behalf of Jiyunzhai. He just accepted the invitation, and it wasn't a meal.

After eating porridge, side dishes and coarse grain bread for more than a week, I really need some delicious food to nourish my body.

Entering the high-grade Qingyuantang restaurant, the group immediately divided into two tables and sat down.

Lin Sinan and four important figures from the box office of Jiyunzhai sat at the main table with Lin Yanqiu, while Shen Yuelou sat at the second table at another table with the other eight actors who played for Boss Lin.

When everyone was seated one after another, while waiting for the dishes to be served, Shen Yuelou couldn't help but cast a sideways glance at Lin Yanqiu who was on the main table full of stars.

Lin Yanqiu is not tall, with a delicate and small face. She has short hair that reaches her ears and combs her greasy hair upwards. She has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes.

I saw that she was wearing a lake blue thick cloth silk shirt, holding a golden silk silk fan in her hand, sitting quietly like that, talking with people in a soft voice, looking gentle and elegant, Extraordinary bearing.

As expected, she deserves to be the number one Kunling who is famous all over the world, she is graceful, not surprised by favor or humiliation, and treats people with restraint... I don't know, when will I have her current status and cultivation?
Hehe, don't be too envious, I have a system to help, and in the future I will stand shoulder to shoulder with the four masters of "Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Stone" and become a real opera master!
While talking warmly with fellow Jiyunzhai fanciers, perhaps feeling someone else's deliberate gaze, Lin Yanqiu looked in the direction of that burning gaze, and a pair of autumn water-like almond eyes instantly matched Shen Yuelou's affectionate pair. The staring eyes met squarely.

Their eyes met, and both of them were a little bit taken aback.

Hey, this person doesn't seem to be the actor who acted with me in the morning, right?

I don't seem to have him in my mind.

Is he also from Yanjing Liyuan?

Instead, he had a good appearance.

Nodding politely to Shen Yuelou, Lin Yanqiu quickly looked away.

Seeing Lin Yanqiu take the initiative to look away, Shen Yuelou smiled slightly and didn't care.

It's okay to have a nodding acquaintance first, as long as the meal is not finished, I still have the opportunity to get acquainted with her.

"The dishes are all served, everyone please take your time."

After a while, the waiter of Qingyuantang put all the food and drinks on both tables together, and a 57-year-old man in rich clothes who was sitting on the right side of Lin Yanqiu at the main table slowly stood up.

The old man had a short stature, and his gray hair looked a little sparse. He had a round face, long eyes, a short chin, and a short and dense beard under his jaw and around his lips, which looked very funny.

He raised his wine glass, nodded to the boss Lin Yanqiulin and Lin Sinan at the same table, and then turned his gaze to Shen Yuelou's table.

"My humble servant, Meng Fanzhi, is currently the deputy director of the Huaxia Opera Research Institute, and at the same time, one of the main persons in charge of the box office of Jiyunzhai.

Today, Lin Yanqiu Lin, the owner of the box office, was able to accept our invitation to come to Jiyunzhai to sing a hall. I and the other fanciers at the box office are deeply honored.
……

It is rare for everyone to gather together today, please enjoy drinking to your heart's content. "

"Drink this cup full!"

"Jing Meng Director!"

"Boss Lin!"

……

Shen Yuelou pretended to follow everyone, stood up with a wine glass and shouted twice, but did not taste the glass of wine in his hand.

Since he was a child, he has never touched a drop of alcohol.

It can't be said that he doesn't like it. When he was a child, class leader Zhou was very strict with him. Things like tobacco and alcohol that might hurt Shen Yuelou's capital (throat) were naturally strictly prohibited.

Later, when he grew up a bit, and when he was a little rebellious during his youthful restlessness, he also tasted a few drops secretly. The taste was spicy and exciting, which was not his favorite taste, so he stopped dipping it.

After the host of Jiyunzhai finishes his toast, he will accompany the guests to drink the first glass of wine, and everyone can eat with chopsticks.

Stewed crab meat and lion head, crystal meat, squirrel mandarin fish, Liangxi crispy eel...

Looking at the delicious food on the table full of color, fragrance and taste, Shen Yuelou suddenly moved his index finger, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat.

Only the beautiful scenery and delicious food can not be disappointed, the ancients do not deceive me!

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, just before the end of the thank-you banquet, Lin Sinan suddenly ran over from the main table with a wine glass and whispered to Shen Yuelou.

"Mr. Shen, can you sing the play "Jiange Wenling"?"

Hearing Lin Sinan's question, Shen Yuelou nodded confidently, and replied softly: "Of course, this is one of the excerpts I learned when I was in Qingyi, and I sang it on stage intermittently during those years when I was in Wanzhou. I tried it dozens of times, and it never fails.”
