Master of Chinese Opera

Chapter 61

After sending Lin Yanqiu away, on the way back, He Ling immediately reported to Shen Yuelou about her recent work.

"The preparations for the studio have been completed, and all procedures have been fully prepared. The office is located in the Dongcheng business district. Twelve employees have been recruited, all of whom were former members of Xu Chen's studio.

Are you going to visit tomorrow? "

"Okay, I'll go and have a look tomorrow."

Nodding slightly, Shen Yuelou looked at He Ling again and asked, "Is there enough funds for the studio?"

"I was just about to tell you? It cost 16 Huayuan to rent an office building, and a few sums to go through the formalities, as well as the advance payment for the staff to settle down..."

After looking at the receipts and detailed accounts that He Ling handed over to him, Shen Yuelou nodded and directly sent her 60 Huayuan.

Among them, 20 Huayuan was the overrun, [-] Huayuan was a reward for He Ling, and the rest was money for the renovation of the Tianqiao Theater.

A few days ago, he asked workers to renovate the Tianqiao Theater rented from the Second Peking Opera Troupe. It just so happened that now that He Ling had finished the preparations for the studio, he could leave it to her to watch over it with confidence.

The next day, as soon as Shen Yuelou walked into the studio, he was immediately treated like a king.

Including He Ling, a total of thirteen employees lined up to greet Boss Shen.

Like He Ling, these people are all agents or assistants who are considered to have a bad reputation in the industry. Their recent work conditions and future prospects were originally very bleak.

Now, with the turn of events and such a good job opportunity, they are naturally very grateful to Shen Yuelou.

"Hello, Mr. Shen!"

"Hehe, hello!"

After a little observation of these people's clothing appearance and mental outlook, and knowing their names through He Ling's introduction, Shen Yuelou couldn't help but nodded at He Ling and said: "Sister Ling, I have worked hard for you during this time."

The quality of the staff is not bad, and the studio has started to get on the right track, and He Ling has contributed a lot.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Shen Yuelou and He Ling went to the inner office to discuss work.

Seeing the general manager's office specially arranged for him by He Ling, Shen Yuelou nodded slightly, feeling more and more satisfied with her.

"Sister Ling, the previously signed probationary contract is void. Let's formally sign a new contract. You have to think about it in the past two days. If you think about it clearly, you can write the treatment you want into the contract."

"Hehe, thank you Mr. Shen.

So, am I a regular? "

With a few chuckles, He Ling looked up at Shen Yuelou and said slowly, "There is one more thing I want to tell you. A Jin consulted me a few days ago. There are still five years left in her contract with Jinghe Records. The month expires, but she doesn't want to stay in Jinghe anymore.

She wanted to terminate the contract with Jinghe Records early, so she asked for my opinion.

I took a look at her contract, and there are some agreements on the number of albums in it, and the merger with Beijing has not been fulfilled, these are bargaining chips in the negotiation.

She took these chips to talk with Jinghe, and finally spent 200 million Chinese yuan in exchange for her freedom.

She heard you started a studio and wanted to ask if you could sign her?
It's not good for her to ask you directly about this matter, so she can only convey it through me. "

Hearing He Ling's words, Shen Yuelou pondered for a while, nodded lightly and said: "Okay, you can deal with this matter.

The conditions are as favorable as possible, and the contract is signed once a year, giving her full freedom. "

"Okay, Mr. Shen."

……

Two days later, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, at the Huaxia National Center for the Performing Arts.

After more than two months of preparation and rehearsal, the drama "Returning in the Wind and Moon Night" is finally going to be on the stage.

After putting on makeup and checking the props, Lin Sinan cheered Shen Yuelou and the other actors of the drama company with a terrifying face and said: "Everyone let go of this play, show the level of rehearsal, Guaranteed to succeed."

Feng Zhengyuan immediately echoed: "With Mr. Shen's script as a backing, and you personally helping us open the scene, this play is sure to succeed."

"Hehe, if this drama becomes a success, it has nothing to do with me."

Hearing Feng Zhengyuan's words, Shen Yuelou quickly waved his hands and smiled, and said modestly: "The main reason is that the teachers performed well. I have had a few episodes with the teachers in the crew during this period, and my acting skills have really improved a lot." few."

Hearing Shen Yuelou's words, Li Ganlin couldn't help but joked: "Hey, Teacher Shen is good at everything, but he is too modest.

When I was young, with your talent and your looks, I would have been crazy.

If Director Lin came to talk to me, I promise I would ignore him. "

"Mr. Li, are you thinking of something beautiful?"

Hearing Li Ganlin mention himself, Lin Sinan couldn't help but answer, "However, your wish has been fulfilled by me.

In this play, when I was young, didn't I look like Teacher Shen? "

"Hahaha, this is just a drama, Director Lin, don't get too involved in the drama."

After a few jokes, the actors performed their duties and waited for the scene.

Asking the driver to park the car next to the National Grand Theater, Pei Qingfeng, Liang Yundu and others walked into the National Grand Theater slowly.

They are all Lin Sinan's old friends for many years, so they naturally want to come to join him.

Entering the theater and sitting in the front row, Yu Huaxing couldn't help but chat with Pei Qingfeng.

"Old Pei, what did you tell me last time? How did you think about it?

Director Zhang Cheng is really sincere. He has been begging you for three years, but you still haven't let go.

If you had agreed three years ago, the movie would have been released by now. "

"Hehe, let's talk about it, I haven't thought about it yet, the main reason is that the actor is wrong.

Wait a minute, don't worry, today, we will only watch dramas and not discuss business affairs. "

Hearing what Pei Qingfeng said, Yu Huaxing had no choice but to look at the stage absently.

After a while, the host of the theater came up to report a scene, and the drama "Returning on a Snowy Night" officially started.

The curtain slowly opened, and all the lights on the stage were dimmed. Accompanied by the sound of a sad erhu and the sound of howling wind and snow, two young actors dressed as beggars took the lead on the stage.

As soon as they heard the tear-jerking sound of the erhu in the background music, the audience knew that it was a tragedy.

"Returning on a Snowy Night", a masterpiece rehearsed by Yanjing People's Art Theater Club, the quality is definitely not bad.

"Well-meaning masters and ladies, do me a favor and give me a stutter?"

After yelling twice, seeing no one answered, the two little beggars started a "fire" on the stage with yellow lights.

With the fire and the howling of the wind, a desolate old man walked onto the stage in a snowstorm.

Lin Sinan appeared on stage with scars on his face, not only the two little beggars in the play, but also some of the audience sitting in the front row were shocked.

"Grass, this old thing, scared me."

Meng Fanzhi was sitting in the second row of the theatre. Seeing Lin Sinan's ghostly appearance from the darkness, he trembled all over and almost wet his pants.

In order to create the atmosphere of the snowy night during the Republic of China, the lights on the stage were already very dim, and suddenly a devastated and trembling old man with a sick face came up, which was indeed a bit scary.

Hell!

The two little beggars were so frightened that they stood on the stage and did not dare to move.

It wasn't until the sick old man fell to the ground and called for help that the two little beggars dared to step forward and help him to the fire.

Through the faint light of the fire, although the old man had a broken and sickly face, Pei Qingfeng, Liang Yundu and others could tell from the old man's slightly outstretched orchid fingers and his walking figure that he used to be a danjiao.

Is he really an old man with a story?
How was his face disfigured?
Why did he come back here?
