In [-], the troupe entered a new era.Taiwan and the mainland jointly held a large-scale opera competition called "Spring Returns to the Land". The winner can not only become famous, but also represent Taiwan's opera circles to the mainland for cultural exchanges, which can be described as a supreme honor.Yu Minxiu thinks this is a good opportunity for the troupe to come back to life with a dead wood, and it should not be missed.Of course, the rarer the opportunity, the fiercer the competition. If you don't show some real talents, you may become a stepping stone for others.From the first moment she got the news, Yu Minxiu has been rectifying the troupe non-stop.

First of all, there is no doubt that a good play must have a good script.This depends on Yan Zhennan.In fact, the Gezai Opera Troupe of the Folk Music Society and the Variety Xiaosheng have been able to continue in the field of Gezai Opera, all thanks to the new dramas created by Yan Zhennan from time to time, which satisfy the audience's thirst for freshness.The way of cooperation between the theater troupe and Yan Zhennan still continues the original agreement - a 5.00% commission is taken, and the rest is left alone.In these years, only Yu Minxiu kept in touch with him, outsiders have no way of knowing.

Second, the system reform of troupes.It has been nine years since the opera troupe moved to Yilan in [-].The rectification at the beginning had changed the troupe's appearance, but nine years have passed, and it is actually regressing if it does not keep pace with the times, and those who implemented those changes at the beginning have now gone home.There is no delay in rectification, which is mainly divided into three aspects.The first is finance.The maintenance of a troupe requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, so finance is the most important thing in the troupe, so it should be controlled by Yu Minxiu.But she has to contact Yan Zhennan to create the script, contact various relevant departments to discuss the competition, and is busy rehearsing and performing plays, thinking about rectifying all aspects of the troupe and other matters large and small.After all, one person can't be busy with so many things. In terms of the script, she handed it over to Lin Jiaxi; in terms of finance, she handed it over to me.She smiled and said that women are better at handling money, and that she will have to ask my permission to spend money in the future, as if she has forgotten that she is also a woman, and I am her housekeeper.I am very happy to be able to share her worries for her, but this unexplained sharing of worries makes me more or less unclear about my position.A woman is always a woman, no matter what dynasty she is in, no matter if she likes a man or a woman, no matter if it is a lie or an oath, she insists on asking for a status, not to mention that I am still a stupid woman.The second is internal affairs.The so-called housekeeping refers to eating, drinking, and sleeping in the theatrical troupe.There are many and complicated things, and there is no clue and no law, so it is naturally a thankless job.This is not a major matter, anyway, everyone is used to suffering, and it is understandable if the changes are unsatisfactory for a while, so Yu Minxiu promoted a newcomer named Yu Dawei.According to the management methods of modern companies, Yu Dawei is naturally very happy to be promoted to the management of the troupe.The third is the performance arrangement.It is roughly similar to the work of finding plays before the rectification, but the troupe has rented theaters for many years, and there is no longer any need to travel around. Detailed factors, analyze audience preferences, ticket price setting, optimal performance time, and highest return, in order to obtain the optimal value.Of course, this is not an easy task. It takes time to collect information and requires a certain knowledge base. It seems that there are very few people in the troupe who can take on this task, and this important task naturally falls back on her shoulders.

Time seems to go back to [-], when the theater troupe first moved to Yilan, because the rectification was more or less a question of the old system, conflicting with a small group of people in the theater troupe in terms of interests, and conservative Pai was worried that the rectification would make the troupe fall into a worse situation, so the reform did not go smoothly.At that time, she was also rehearsing "Legend of Jiepaiguan", trying to make a name for the ever-changing niche, which is exactly the same as the current situation.It's just that there is no Uncle Ming to support her now, and no one can give her advice, and maybe because of me, she doesn't even have the last loyal supporter—Mrs. Ma has been coming to the troupe for a long time.

Out of some kind of guilt or distress or habit, I took the initiative to collect various matters about the performance.Because this is a record investigation, involving all kinds of materials and the selection and analysis of various materials, so when I came to a general conclusion, Yan Zhennan had already written the script for our competition.The title of the play is "Wishing Love", which is adapted from "Legend of the White Snake", but the stage effect will be different from the traditional "Legend of the White Snake".In traditional performances, the White Snake and the Green Snake still walk in phantom human forms when they appear on the stage, but after the adaptation, they will introduce modern dance movements to reflect the boneless softness and femininity of snakes.This is due to her modern dance foundation.Of course, after getting the role of Green Snake, this is also one of the things I need to practice hard.In addition, in Bai Suzhen's water-filled Jinshan Temple environment, although the water source cannot be drawn out, the stage background will be slightly changed, and the filming technique of hanging steel wires in modern TV dramas will be introduced to achieve an elegant and handsome effect.These were suggested by Yan Zhennan when she created them.Perhaps it is her spirit of independence, innovation, and seeking for differences that has prompted them to cooperate for so many years.

Any good blueprint needs realistic financial and material resources to be successfully built. The so-called poor family does not know the price of materials, rice, oil and salt. When she first described the scene to us, although it was conceivable It is magnificent, but Lin Jiaxi and I still have reservations about the practicality.At that time, she remembered the problem of the budget.But she is such a person, she will do what she says, no matter how many obstacles and difficulties, she will go forward bravely after passing five hurdles and cutting six generals.I thought in my heart that it would be great if she could move forward emotionally, but it was that hug with unknown meaning that repeatedly put my idea of ​​leaving on hold, and I pushed the time of leaving until after the performance.

The repertoire performed by the folk music club is not too many, but they are all classics, and each repertoire must be beyond the reach of others. "The Legend of Jiepaiguan" portrays Luo Tong more affectionate, righteous, and flesh-and-blood; Yang Jiajiang and "Butterfly Transformation" generally tell about loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness while not forgetting love, and the blending of love and justice is more in line with human nature.Needless to say about other tracks.After analysis, it was found that the troupe's repertoire performance ratio could be slightly adjusted, and ticket prices could also be slightly increased.At that time, there were still three months before the "Spring Return to the Earth" competition, and I only hoped that the budget could be raised slightly, so that even if the boats were completely broken and failed in the end, it would not end too disastrously.Of course, it is not a wise move to raise the ticket price during this critical period, but there is an additional return—that is, if you watch a certain number of performances by the Folk Music Club, you can get free tickets to "Spring Returns to the Land".For old movie fans, this can be regarded as a big temptation.

This is of course my wishful thinking. Three months is still too hasty.She went around looking for acquaintances to preach, hoping to get some sponsorship, but she didn't dare to make too much fanfare, because it was considered a commercial secret after all.It can be forgiven if such a good idea dies due to financial problems in the end; if it is plagiarized by someone with a heart, it would be a bit of a loss outweighing the gain to steal the chicken.Therefore, progress is not objective.She is often sad and helpless, and when she talks to me occasionally, she only talks about the grassroots culture of Qinggezai opera that the rich people like very much. However, the braver the more fearless, the more despised she is, the more she has to do as.This is no longer just a matter of the rise and fall of the troupe, but more importantly, it allows all colleagues to see the way Gezai Opera should go, and even change the prejudice of some people in society.She persisted because she firmly believed that the path she was taking was right, and the changes she made were progressive.I had no choice but to hand over the semi-finished investigation results to her, hoping to make a little difference.

"Did you do all of these?" She looked at me in surprise.That pile of reports was not considered detailed, and the time was too short to see any patterns, most of them were just my own speculations.

"Hmm." Probably what I love the most in my life is her hearty and bright smile, even more than myself.I never see her disappointed or lost, and I am even more reluctant to fulfill her dream, although sometimes I forget her and only remember myself. "Although one's own power is indeed weak, I think you said before that as long as it is a good show, you don't have to worry about not having an audience. Our previous publicity is still a bit crude, and we can re-emphasize the highlights. This is just my preliminary idea , it’s not complete enough, I hope it helps. When doing these investigations, I found that the musical instrument masters of the troupe occasionally create new tunes. If you can combine tunes and singing, you should be able to create a new way of singing. Add it to the new play, so the chances of winning the championship may be even greater." I said.

She raised her head, lowered it, raised it again, and still couldn't seem to find the right words to say.I just stuck there too.She hesitated and hesitated, and finally hugged me gently. "Thank you, Ah Feng," she said.

I should have been very happy, but I don't understand why there is a faint sadness in my joy.I couldn't get it off, and it gradually covered her face until I couldn't see it.I hurriedly escaped from her embrace, and left there, sometimes I don’t even know what I’m running away from, it’s just an inexplicable feeling of up and down, like being stuck at the end when I hang myself. in one breath.Although I haven't personally experienced what it's like to hang yourself, I think it should be very similar.With that breath stuck in my throat, I replied "You're welcome".
