On the Grass in the Lili Garden [Peking Opera]

He Jingxue and Zhu Yanhong have a good personal relationship, and her husband and Zhu Yanhong are distant relatives after a few detours, and they met several times at family reunion dinners.After the meeting, He Jingxue chatted with Zhu Yanhong in private, and mentioned that there was no suitable Wen Xiaosheng, and she didn't know how the performance of the next two plays would be.

The only actor in the theater who is currently on stage is too busy, and his schedule is already full. The other actor does not work hard and has been absent from work for a long time. Recently, the provincial court is planning to terminate his labor contract with him.

The dean said that if there is no suitable student at that time, he can borrow one from the Brothers Theater Troupe. Fu Peng and Bian Ji are both roles that students must learn, and they will be familiar with the play after a few times. If not, go to the drama school to hire a teacher Assistants are fine too.

What He Jingxue is worried about is not that she is not familiar with the play, but that she has had a short time to get in touch with colleagues from other units. Being able to perform does not mean being able to act well. She does not want to give the audience a complete but not beautiful answer in her solo performance.

"Fu Penghui, Bian Ji, Liang Shanbo and Xu Xian only studied in drama school, and never acted after graduation."

Although Lin Weiran's county theater troupe mainly focuses on martial arts, it is not without a literary play. In "Picking up the Jade Bracelet", there are performances of Huadan raising chickens and embroidery, plus the gags of the matchmaker behind. It is humorous and close to life, attracting rural audiences I like it more.Moreover, Fu Peng has very few arias, mainly reading and doing, which is suitable for Lin Weiran's current voice condition.

Zhu Yanhong's mind was spinning, thinking in his heart.

Recently, the courtyard is rehearsing the youth version of "Wang Zuo Broken Arm. Storytelling", all of which are performed by young actors, and the performance is good.Some time ago, there was a meeting in the courtyard to discuss, and we planned to add "Eight Hammers", "Picking the Pulley" and "Little Shanghe" to create a "Youth Peking Opera-Shuo Yue Series". After the performance, we will share the story of the Yue family army with the audience.

At present, there are many young samurai who can play Lu Wenlong in the theater, but it has been many years since Xiaosheng actors starred in "Eight Hammers".From the perspective of cultivating talents in various fields in the Provincial Academy, the leaders of the Academy have been looking for suitable civil and military niche students.

Zhu Yanhong made an appointment, and asked He Jingxue to come to his daughter's house after dinner today, and bring a young actor to show her.It's not that she was not invited to dinner, but she said that the cats in the house were not being fed, and she had to sprinkle some cat food when she got home.

If He Jingxue thinks that Lin Weiran can be cultivated, then Lin Weiran has a great chance of passing the resume screening and preliminary examination.During the retest, there will be "Eight Hammers", it depends on Lin Weiran's own martial arts attainments, if it's good, one hammer, oh no, eight hammers will be the final word.

At this time someone opened the door and came in.A pregnant woman was carrying two plastic bags, which looked like stewed vegetables from the packaging.Lin Weiran said hello, no need to inquire, he knew who it was just by looking at it.

Zhu Yuwen and Lin Weiran, the eldest daughters of Zhu Yanhong, answered the salute, and said to Zhu Yanhong: "My dad, I have bought the plum blossom belly and sauced pig's trotters you ordered. The person in front of me in the vegetable market today is a body odor. Smoke your daughter."

"That is, my daughter is the most capable, one is worth two!" Zhu Yanhong smiled and squeezed the bag of stewed vegetables. This is the most famous recruited stewed vegetables in the provincial capital. Please Xiao Lin to try it.

Zhu Yuwen told Lin Weiran to sit down and eat some fruit. Don't be too polite, and said to her father: "I'm just two of you now, and you didn't praise me at all when you co-authored it!"

The door that had just been closed was hastily pushed open, and a man in his thirties said to Zhu Yanhong, "Dad, just now Aunt He called my work unit and asked me to tell you that her mother-in-law twisted her waist and she had to Rushing over to take care of her, I'm really sorry that I can only trouble you to find her at her new house at night. Then, Lao Tan's house is closed today, so you can try the sweet rice wine I bought next door."

After speaking, he began to pant heavily, probably running all the way back.In fact, He Jingxue is only in her early forties, but because she and Zhu Yanhong belong to the same generation, Zhu Yanhong's son-in-law also calls her Auntie.

Zhu Yanhong stood up and said to Lin Weiran: "Then we have to leave now, not to mention the long road over there. If we go late, we will disturb the old man's recovery."

Lin Weiran nodded and said yes.

After washing her hands, Zhu Yuwen was pouring out the marinated vegetables and putting them on a porcelain plate, when she heard this, she yelled: "How can I ask the guests to leave at meal time? Mom even made water tofu!"

"All right, let's eat some stewed vegetables!" Zhu Yanhong pulled Lin Weiran to sit at the dining table.He was going to take a taxi later, if it's more expensive, it really shouldn't let Xiao Lin leave hungry, because he was dizzy just now.

Zhu Yanhong's lover Guo Aiyun trotted out from the kitchen with a plate of steaming green pepper beef tenderloin, a bowl of coriander tofu flower, and quickly added two bowls of rice, and said apologetically, "Xiao Lin, you feel wronged today. There are still a few dishes that Auntie is too late to fry, so go after you finish eating. It’s all because Auntie is late to prepare, come back tomorrow, Auntie will make it for you.”

Lin Weiran quickly thanked Guo Aiyun, saying that she was bothering her.

He was moved while eating. He was worried about the same as his third uncle before. What is Zhu Yanhong's status? He is a famous actor in the country and enjoys special allowances.It's just a brief encounter in a small mountain village, why should they help you, maybe they don't even bother to meet each other.

Unexpectedly, Teacher Zhu not only met, but also actively helped him move around for work, and directed the family to arrange a sumptuous dinner.Teacher Guo said that she was late for preparations, but in fact it was only after five o'clock, and there were already four or five plates and large bowls on the table.

Not to mention his own future, but for the enthusiasm of Teacher Zhu, he must prepare well and play well, not to embarrass Teacher Zhu.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Lin Weiran and Zhu Yanhong were walking side by side on the road. They had just come out of He Jingxue's house, and there were occasional people around them.It's not that the nightlife in the provincial capital is not rich, the barbecue stalls at the train station are open until twelve o'clock at night.The main reason is that He Jingxue's new home is located a bit out of the way, in a high-end residential area in the suburbs.

At the beginning of the 90s, the construction of commercial housing in the provincial capital had just started. Most people lived in separate houses in the unit. The same building had the same unit stairs with the same color. Everyone joked that you should check whether the keys are the same. Don’t go to the wrong corridor and open the wrong door. Caught by a thief.Only a small number of rich people choose to buy a house.

He Jingxue is a low-key person. She has never said in the work unit that her husband is a successful entrepreneur. She has always lived in the house of the Provincial Court, and only went to her new home to accompany her in-laws on days off.This afternoon, she and Zhu Yanhong made an appointment to come to Zhu Yanhong's daughter's house after dinner, and she didn't want to hurry back to her new home due to urgent business.

"Are you hungry?" Zhu Yanhong looked at Lin Weiran.They ate in a hurry before going out, Lin Weiran must not be full.

Lin Weiran shook his head, it's normal for opera singers to be hungry and have two meals, especially lunch and dinner, they shouldn't eat too much before the performance.And now he is a little excited, so naturally he doesn't feel hungry.

I saw what Teacher He meant just now, and I will let myself pass the resume screening process.

After talking to her mother-in-law, He Jingxue asked the nanny to take care of her first, and then she took Lin Weiran to the study to have a chat, to see how each other felt, at least to close their eyes.

He Jingxue's plays are very meticulous, from eyes to gestures, every detail has been tempered repeatedly. According to a teacher at the drama school, any stage video of He Jingxue can be used as teaching materials.

It is conceivable that she naturally has high requirements for her partner.

Lin Weiran's appearance made her very satisfied.It is undeniable that most opera performers are appearance-oriented, especially niche actors, who do not paint their faces or wear beards, and cannot hide any flaws on their faces.Although He Jingxue is not a perfectionist, she cannot accept a stage partner who is not good in appearance.

This young man has handsome facial features and a tall and straight figure, which fits the image of romantic men like Fu Peng and Bian Ji.

As for singing, He Jingxue doesn't think that Lin Weiran's voice is as bad as he described. It should be said that his voice is in good condition, but it's just that he can't train systematically because of the long time in the warehouse.If you get guidance from a master and work hard, you will be able to sing.

What He Jingxue is talking about is a wise teacher, a wise teacher, not necessarily a famous teacher.

He Jingxue told Lin Weiran to rest early and don't worry, she will sign the resume.The requirement of the provincial court is that there are two or more examiners' signatures on the resume, even if the review is passed.Zhu Yanhong will definitely sign, so now Lin Weiran is equivalent to entering the preliminary test.

Cheating?He Jingxue didn't think so at all.How do you know how he feels on stage if you don't see him on stage.The resume screening is just for checking, mainly to stop amateurs and pranksters, so don't waste everyone's time.

Don't laugh, it really happened. A retired uncle in his 60s said that he likes Mei Pai Tsing Yi, taught himself at home for a year and a half, and wanted to come to the Provincial Academy to sing.As for submitting a resume but not being able to get in touch, the hospital sent people to look for it according to the address and found that it was a garbage room.

Moreover, the young man was very polite, he came with a gift box of snacks, and wished the old man a speedy recovery.And I heard from Zhu Yanhong that he called his uncle at the phone booth on the side of the road just now, and said that he was with the teacher of the Provincial Peking Opera Theater and would come back later, so that his uncle could rest assured and go to bed first.

After the reform and opening up, some new trends of thought have emerged in the society. Some young people no longer value morality, and do not respect the old or love the young.

A polite and responsible junior like Lin Weiran is naturally not annoying.

"Hey, it's driving so fast!" Zhu Yanhong slapped his face in front of him with his hands. What is the displacement of this car? It has such a big exhaust.

They took a taxi when they came, but now it is difficult to take a taxi to go back. There are not many vacant cars in this suburb.He Jingxue asked them to sit for a while, waiting for her husband to come back and drive them off.But they declined, saying the weather was fine for a walk.So they walked to the bus station one kilometer away.

Lin Weiran looked at the speeding car, the speed was very fast, he could only see two people sitting in the car, and the person in the passenger seat rested his head on the window glass, as if he was deeply worried.

The car drove into the community of He Jingxue's mother-in-law's family.It was the first time Lin Weiran had seen such a beautiful house when he was so old, and he could even take the elevator upstairs.It is estimated that people who live in this kind of house have cars at home. I don’t know if He Jingxue can drive. It seems that it is quite far from here to the Provincial Peking Opera House.

Although Lin Weiran had never seen He Jingxue in person before, Lin Weiran looked at her photos almost every day.

In the internal publication of the Provincial Department of Culture that he treasured since he was a child, the first half page is a graphic report of the famous Xun School Huadan He Jingxue leading a team to perform in the United States, and the second half page is Lin Weiran's performance in the provincial children's Peking Opera performance. The news of the No.1 group of old students.

At that time, for a rural child like Lin Weiran, going abroad was a big deal, bigger than having a special beard.

Lin Weiran looked away and followed Zhu Yanhong forward.So he didn't see the black car of Lincoln Continental [-] just now, bypassing the small high-rise building where He Jingxue's mother-in-law's house was, and drove straight to the villa area on the other side of the artificial lake.

In the afternoon of the next day, the front desk of the No. [-] Middle School Guest House received a call from the Provincial Peking Opera Theater looking for Lin Weiran, informing him that he would go to the Provincial Academy for a preliminary examination in two days.Zhu Yanhong didn't expect it to be so soon. He went to the office early in the morning and stuffed Lin Weiran's resume into the pile of papers.

He wasn't on the top. This pile of things has been sitting here for several days. Whose resume was the first one? I guess many people passing by have seen it.Unexpectedly, a few ten minutes later, as soon as everyone went to work, the office clerk brought the resumes of Lin Weiran and others to review for him.

Now it seems that the art brush provided by Mr. Lin has played a big role.When the preliminary reviewers lined up the resumes, Lin Weiran's one successfully attracted the attention immediately and was picked out first.
