Eat Honey[Transmigration Book]

Regarding the change of roles, the leaders of the troupe had rumors for a long time. Su Kuo didn't take it seriously until a staff member who had a good relationship with him behind the scenes told him: "The matter has not been finalized, but in my opinion, There is a high possibility of replacing you. If you don’t want to, just think of a way before you make a decision.”

Su Kuo couldn't think of anything else, so she went directly to the director Tian Zhang, who said, "I really can't decide on this matter, those fathers who are the sponsors have the final say."

He was a little dissatisfied, and his words were filled with anger.As a director, I am most annoyed by the shackles in my artistic creation, but I am dissatisfied. In the end, I still have to listen to the arrangement of the organizer. Besides, "The Peony Pavilion" is the largest play in the Kunqu opera world in recent years, with high investment and large scale. His weight in it is even lower than those leading plays.He liked Xiao Yao at first, but because of the change of roles, he suspected that Xiao Yao had connections behind him.

"There is no one in his family. If there is any backstage, he just talked about a boyfriend recently, who is quite rich." Su Kuo said, "But he probably didn't do this behind the scenes. honest."

Tian Zhang smoked a cigarette and didn't speak.

Su Kuo's heart was also heavy, and he was silent when he received a call from Shen Xingzhi: "I came to Mingchuan, and now I'm in Wangjiang Tower in Baifeng District, you and your younger brother should get angry, you have worked hard during this time, Celebrate you guys."

Su Kuo's heart beat like a drum, hung up the phone, and took a look at Tian Zhang.Tian Zhang asked: "What's wrong?"

"My master is here," Su Kuo said.

"It's probably because of this," Tian Zhang put out the cigarette in his hand, and said, "I think there are seven or eight out of ten to change you, otherwise he wouldn't have come all the way."

Su Kuo's face was so ugly that he got up to leave, but Tian Zhang called out, "Su Kuo."

Su Kuo turned around, Tian Zhang said: "Whether you change it or not, in my heart, you are the best Du Liniang."

Su Kuo smiled, turned around and left, leaving only a faint scent.

He is very fond of fragrance.

Su Kuo didn't go directly, but went back to the hotel, changed into his favorite clothes, combed his hair meticulously, took a picture in front of the mirror, and looked at himself in the mirror, he was still young and beautiful, but His eyes were a little haggard, so he took out the eyeliner, hooked it up, and painted a sharp and charming makeup.

As soon as he packed up, he heard a knock on the door, he went to open the door, Xiao Yao froze when he saw him, he felt that today's senior brother... is very different.

But he didn't notice the change in eye makeup for a while, and said, "Brother, did you receive a call from Master, he said that he came to Mingchuan and wanted to see us."

"Got it," Su Kuo said, "let's go."

The two left the hotel side by side and went to the intersection to take a taxi.The weather is hot, Mingchuan City is full of flowers, and the air is filled with the sweetness of flowers.The two stood at the intersection, Su Kuo looked at the traffic and said, "Have you heard about the corner change?"

Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, and said, "Change roles?"

He really hadn't heard of it.

He came late to the troupe, and basically contacted low-level personnel. The change of roles was mainly reported by the management. The matter was still undecided. He was well received, and the organizers gave him a very good evaluation.

His mission to perform this time was relatively sudden, and he received a temporary order, so that he didn't have time to notify Zhou Haiquan to come and watch.

Su Kuo smiled and said, "When you get to Master, you will know everything."

Su Kuo didn't believe that Xiao Yao didn't know about it at all, so seeing Xiao Yao's reaction, he felt a little unhappy, so he didn't say anything more.His eye makeup is so sharp today, Xiao Yao just felt that he was no longer as gentle and kind as before, thinking that something must have happened.

When they arrived at Wangjiang Tower, Shen Xingzhi was already sitting there. When he saw the two of them, he asked them to sit down.

"Although I haven't watched your performance, I have heard about it. It's very good. It's a pity that I was in poor health two days ago, so I didn't come to support you. It stands to reason that the two of you are singing Kunqu opera on the same stage for the first time. I should come Sitting under the stage."

"Master, are you feeling better?" Xiao Yao asked.

"It's much better." Shen Xingzhi said and looked at Su Kuo again: "Today is a little different from usual, did you put on eye makeup?"

"I want to change my style," Su Kuo said with a smile, "Nothing can be hidden from Master."

"People who have been wearing makeup for so many years can't see this." Shen Xingzhi said, "Sit down, let's chat while eating."

Mingchuan is all Cantonese cuisine, Shen Xingzhi ordered a few and gave them to Su Kuo and the others.When Su Kuo was ordering, Xiao Yao leaned over and said, "I don't even know what the benefits are. Master and senior brothers, you can order, and I'll just eat."

"That's why I say you are a lucky person." Su Kuo said with a smile, "You don't have to do anything, you can eat while sitting."

Su Kuo was not polite this time, and ordered several, and finally Shen Xingzhi added another soup, and let them serve.

The appetizers came soon, and after eating for a while, Shen Xingzhi said, "Why don't we three have a drink? Don't drink too much, let's have a little."

As he said that, he called the waiter to come up: "Do you have that kind of one-two-two small wine here, two bottles."

The waiter served two [-]ml bottles of Moutai, and Shen Xingzhi poured them both a glass and said, "For this glass, I would like to congratulate Su Kuo first. After so many performances in a row, each performance is successful. It is not easy, but it is also hard work." Here you go. Come on, do one."

Su Kuo's eyes were red, he didn't speak, just drank the glass of wine with a smile.Xiao Yao didn't even know about it, but he was very excited, and said: "This time, brother's performance is the best among the few performances I have watched. I watched it on stage, and it felt different from the audience. I felt dazzled." Fascinated."

"Comparing on stage and off stage is naturally different. But you only care about praising your brother, how do you know that you are not good at acting? You are also very good at acting. I heard them all praise you." Shen Xing Zhi Zhi said, "This second cup, congratulations to Xiao Yao, it is the first time to really perform on stage and sing a big show. This is the beginning, and it is a good start. Come, drink one."

Holding the wine glass, Xiao Yao said, "Thank you, master, and brother."

After two glasses of wine, hot dishes began to be served.Shen Xingzhi took extra care of Su Kuo's feelings this time, often telling him to eat more, and saying that he had lost weight and should take a good rest.

Su Kuo said: "Isn't this going to be a rest right away? Master, I heard that the boss above is going to let the younger brother try Du Liniang?"

Xiao Yao was still picking up vegetables, but when he heard this, he was so frightened that he lost his meat, so he quickly looked at Shen Xingzhi, and then at Su Kuo.

Shen Xingzhi smiled, but calmly said, "Have you heard about it? They mean it, and they probably want our troupe to have a few more newcomers."

Su Kuo looked at Xiao Yao with a smile, his eyes were shining under the light, he was very beautiful: "Junior brother, congratulations, you have taken up the role so quickly. I think back then I was a supporting role that I had worked with Master for many years. Exactly."

Xiao Yao said: "I sing Du Liniang?"

Is he not good enough?

Shen Xingzhi smiled and asked, "Why, don't you dare?"

"It's not that I dare not, it's just..." Is this true, let him replace Su Kuo?He finally understood what Su Kuo meant by "changing roles" before coming here.

The word "changing roles" is too offensive. As a junior, it is too embarrassing for him to change his role. Whose idea is this?

He looked at Shen Xingzhi, and Shen Xingzhi said: "The decision-making of the people above must be based on market considerations. They probably want to sell a hype by changing roles, right? This is the drawback of touring performances, and they tend to be weak in the later stage. , it’s not easy for your senior brother to persist until now. And this kind of touring performance, changing roles is also normal. You never think that in the future, "The Peony Pavilion" will be sung every year and become a regular performance item, and your senior brother will not go Go forward, just guard this drama, right?"

When he said this, Xiao Yao accepted it much more easily. If it was him who sang, his senior brother would spare time to do other things, so it wouldn't be so embarrassing.He looked at Su Kuo, but Su Kuo didn't look at him. He just took a chopstick and slowly stirred the tea cup in front of him.

Shen Xingzhi asked, "Su Kuo, what do you think?"

Su Kuo laughed and said, "I'm an opera singer. I'll do what my boss arranges. Follow the arrangement."

Shen Xingzhi coughed and said, "They came to ask me what I mean. I think so. You have sung so many times, and it's been really hard. It's time to take a break. This time it was requested by the organizer, and they want to replace Xiao Yao. Go up and try, and you know that if they don't agree, even if I recommend your junior brother to go up, my face is not enough. On the other hand, this is a good opportunity for your junior brother to fall into the sky. It is rare to have such an opportunity, if I miss it, even if I intend to find such an opportunity for him in the future, it will not be easy."

Su Kuo said, "Master doesn't need to say any more, I understand everything."

He really understands.In fact, for him, being replaced is not so difficult to accept.As his master said, who can spend a lifetime guarding a role.In any famous play, the roles are changed. If they don't change this year, they will change next year.From the perspective of the overall interests of their master and apprentice, it is more beneficial for Xiao Yao to continue singing than for him to sing.

Then why is he still so uncomfortable, he seems very wronged, as if he can't see his junior brother well.

Probably because of grievances, Xiao Yao has such a good life compared with him, and Xiao Yao easily achieved the achievements he has worked hard for several years.Or maybe he really can't see his junior brother, at least he can't be better than him, otherwise, as a senior brother, he won't have a foothold in the future.

Brothers from the same sect, both fellow disciples and rivals, if there can only be one standing on the top of the tower, he still hopes that it is him.He has nothing but drama, but his junior has so much.

"It's best for you to think so." Shen Xingzhi said, "Fortunately, he is not an outsider, he is your own junior."

Su Kuo smiled and said "hmm".

Shen Xingzhi looked at Xiao Yao again, and said with a smile, "How is it? Do you dare to take it?"

Xiao Yao was surprised and excited. Who would want to go up in opera? What's more, the reason why he chose to act in opera was to become famous and worthy of Zhou Haiquan.This is the purpose of his singing.

He nodded: "I also follow the arrangement of Master and the troupe."

"That's good. Your senior brother has sung so many times. If you have any difficulties, you can ask him for advice. Next, you will sing in Mengchuan. During this period, you should make good preparations. During the state fair, you come to pick up your brother's class. Come on, the three of us have another drink, for the two of you. Master hopes that both of you will be well, and you will become famous in the future, and I will follow your glory."

Xiao Yao respectfully held the glass with both hands and put it at the bottom. Shen Xingzhi only gestured, but didn't touch him.

After eating, they went back to the hotel with Shen Xingzhi, Xiao Yao returned to his room, and couldn't wait to tell Zhou Haiquan the good news.

Zhou Haiquan was also happy for him and said, "Congratulations, I will definitely buy a few more tickets to cheer you on."

"It's fine if you can come by yourself... It's okay if you don't come, I'm afraid that if you come, I will be nervous."

"Then I'll go secretly, okay?"

"Then don't tell me."

Zhou Haiquan just laughed and said: "I will definitely go, it's the first time my daughter-in-law is responsible, so I won't go, is it justified?"

The phrase "daughter-in-law" came so suddenly, Xiao Yao didn't think it was sweet, but rather embarrassed, and immediately blushed and said, "Who is your wife!"

"Boyfriend, boyfriend." Zhou Haiquan smiled and said, "Boyfriend, come on, I'm really happy for you, I knew you could do it."

Maybe the person I love says that I can do it every day, and I gradually feel that I can do it.

Xiao Yao was very excited and "mua" to the camera.

In another room not far away, Su Kuo was lying on the balcony blowing air.His hair was long and disheveled by the wind, almost covering half of his face.Probably after drinking, he felt very melancholy, covered his eyes, and suddenly choked up.But after choking for more than ten seconds, tears flowed down my face, and suddenly I didn't feel it anymore, only the tears were blown by the wind, making it chilly.

He himself also felt a little baffled, and he didn't know why, probably he had been under a lot of pressure these years, and now he was too tired to bear it.But the road ahead may be more difficult and tiring, so when I think about it, I feel that life is hopeless.

It's like this, it's always like this, no matter how difficult or tiring it is, we must continue to move forward.He is smarter and luckier than others, so he has to work harder.
