On the rebirth of the scumbags

When the opera was still shining, countless opera troupes came into being, springing up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and no one thought that it was the last afterglow.

In the first ten years, I fought with outsiders, and after the fight, I fought with my own people again, and the fight was devastated. After that, I finally got peace for a while, took a breath, but couldn't go back.

The way of entertainment is changing with each passing day, people have more choices, have faster-paced pop music, and have seen more exotic foreign things, so naturally they will no longer listen to those outdated and old-fashioned operas.

In the past, no matter what big or small things happened at home, from time to time, the troupe would be invited to sing, and a stage would be set up in the open air, and a group of fans would gather.

The rich hold a money field, and the poor hold a personal field.

Behind, the only thing that can attract people to gather is when a curtain is pulled to enlarge the movie.

At this time, there are very few who can still survive.

The auspicious opera troupe is located in a low-rise bungalow in the old alley in the south of Biancheng. The old troupe owner also opened up several single-door courtyards that were originally built with walls.

At least when Xiang Yan came here for the first time, he foolishly asked passers-by which door they should enter.

It is indeed the same, no matter which door you enter through, it is their troupe.

It was afternoon when Ye Lianzhou went, and the sun was not as hot as noon at that time, but there were still a bunch of old men and women gathered under the old tree at the entrance of the alley to enjoy the shade.

Originally, they didn't know what they were discussing, but when they saw Ye Lianzhou and Xiang Yan who was behind him, they suddenly stopped talking and looked at the two of them as if they were looking at something new.

"Is Xiaozhou back?"

One of the kind-hearted old ladies greeted Ye Lianzhou. Ye Lianzhou walked up to her, half-bent down to her ear, and raised her volume when talking to her:

"Grandma Ran, it's me."

Granny Ran is old and her ears are hard of hearing and her eyes are not good, but she can still recognize Ye Lianzhou.As soon as she saw Ye Lianzhou, she began to rummage through her pockets, talking to herself while searching:

"Hey... I remember putting it here. I left it for Xiaozhou... the white sugar glutinous rice cake he likes... hiss... why is it gone?"

In the few years when the material was still relatively scarce, white sugar glutinous rice cakes were indeed liked by children and adults. They needed less ingredients and the method was simple.

The outer skin has been fried until crispy, but the inner is still soft and glutinous. With the aroma of peanuts and the sweetness of sugar, it is very delicious when it is hot.

Ye Lianzhou held her down, and took the hand that had been deposited for years like the withered bark of an old tree and stuck it to his face, "No, you have already given it to me...the rice cake is delicious, thank you."

Ye Lianzhou had red lips and white teeth when he was a child, and he was quite famous in the alleys. Anyone who saw him wanted to pinch his face.

Ye Lianzhou, who was still a little kid at that time, was very obedient, with dark eyes, compared with the yellow faces of other children, he was as white as snow.

The brothers and sisters performed on the stage, and Xiao Lianzhou, who was clearly not as high as the bench, went down with a plate to beg for rewards.If anyone gave it, he would bow and bow according to the master's instruction, and say a few auspicious words sweetly.

This is such a well-behaved child, pleasing to the eye.Let some viewers who didn't intend to give rewards also feel interesting and give some thoughts.

"You knew that one just now." Xiang Yan had nothing to say.

"Yeah." Ye Lianzhou didn't seem to want to say much.

He was walking ahead, and Xiang Yan followed behind. In fact, Xiang Yan didn't even need Ye Lianzhou to lead the way. After all, he had been here several times before, and he was very familiar with which way to go and which corner to turn.

Through the alley to an ordinary door

The person who came to open the door was a child who was at least ten years old. As soon as he saw Ye Lianzhou coming, he rushed over enthusiastically, raised his head and asked questions cracklingly.

He chattered and asked when Ye Lianzhou came back, and asked him if he was leaving this time, saying that other people in the courtyard said that Ye Lianzhou would not come back after climbing Gao Zhier, he thought he would never see him again .

"how could be."

Mo Yu is an orphan abandoned by his parents because he was born with a blue birthmark on his face.He is the youngest in the theater, and he had a good relationship with Ye Lianzhou before.

Ye Lianzhou rubbed his head skillfully, "It's already this hour, why are you still playing outside and not practicing? Be careful of being taught by the master."

"Brother, don't you know?"

Ye Tangyu looked like she was talking about a big secret, she first looked at Xiang Yan, and then told him after seeing that the expression on Ye Lianzhou's face was nothing,

"When a stranger came to the troupe before, I eavesdropped on their speech, and the troupe said they would sell the troupe..."

"Don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense, I really heard it!" The child at this age was the most serious, seeing that Ye Lianzhou didn't believe his words, his tone became more anxious.

"I really heard it, I didn't lie to you! And these days the class master didn't urge us to practice... He even let the older ones go out to find other jobs." Mo Yu pursed her mouth, "Isn't that We're going to leave."

"I'm really sorry for everyone... I won't be able to see you in the future."

Ye Lianzhou also knew in his heart that this might be true, but he still comforted his junior brother in front of him, "It's okay, we won't leave."

"Don't think so much."

"I'm going to tell the master and the others, we must still be together."

Most of the people who can still stay in the troupe are poor children without parents. In the past, when the auspicious troupe was busy, there could be dozens of people.

However, when the income is getting less and less, those who have a little knowledge, even if they have some other skills, leave early, and those who stay either have feelings for the troupe or have nowhere to go.

"You wait here for a while, I'm going to talk to my master about something."

Ye Lianzhou really didn't want to bring Xiang Yan here at first, but after thinking about it, he would have to use Xiang Yan's name to persuade his master to agree to his method.

In addition, Xiang Yan seems to like to follow her.

So let him follow.

But it was not time to use him yet, so he was asked to wait in the waiting room, and he first went to the courtyard where the master lived to explain the purpose of his trip.

The reason why opera is gradually declining is not only because it is outdated, but more and more people do not understand it.The threshold is too high. If you want to know what a scene on stage is about, you must first know the background of the story, otherwise you will be confused.

Ye Lianzhou had always had a blind spot in his vision before, and he thought that if he could understand it, then others should also understand it, until Xiang Yan woke him up with a word that day.

Xiang Yan said that in order to understand what Ye Lianzhou was singing, he read the books related to the play in advance. He said that he finally knew which character Ye Lianzhou was playing on stage that day, and what the story was about. .

indeed.

Ye Lianzhou thought for a long time about how to bring the dead back to life, and went to watch a few Western drama performances with Xiang Yan. They also called drama drama,

Contains classicism, romanticism, realism.

Although the two are both stage performances, the performance form of the drama is obviously more intuitive, and the values ​​are conveyed more directly, unlike their implicit and euphemistic operas.

After all, Ye Lianzhou is still relatively young, he can accept certain changes, but how can he persuade the class leader to innovate and persuade him to follow the trend of the times to combine Chinese and Western styles.

The old class leader is a very stubborn person. Before this, he never listened to or looked at those... He probably would not agree to change the things left by his ancestors.

Sure enough, Ye Lianzhou was scolded back at the first start, and he really has a lot of skills after going out for a few days.

Ye Lianzhou didn't refute, and silently listened to the class leader's reprimand, seeing that he was almost tired, got up and poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him.

After he drank it, he spoke again. This time, Ye Lianzhou didn't try to persuade him. He just said calmly, "Master, I just want us to stay together like before."

He counted those classmates in the courtyard, which senior brother loved to spin around the stove, which senior sister had the greatest strength, who was the most eccentric, who was the most careful, who liked to draw, and who had the sharpest nose.

It is also said that at the New Year's Eve in previous years, everyone ate around a table.

The more Ye Lianzhou said, the more surprised the class leader's expression became.

He originally thought that he should be the one who didn't care about these trivial things the least, but silently remembered all everyone's preferences so clearly.

"By the way, this is part of the money, which can be used as the booking money for me to buy the troupe."

When Ye Lianzhou was sold into the theater troupe, he signed a contract of selling himself. The night before he left, the troupe owner returned the contract to him.

20 years ago, Ye Lianzhou was taken away by the class leader who was also a father and teacher through a thin piece of paper, and 20 years later, Ye Lianzhou returned a thin piece of paper to the class leader.

is a contract.

"There are about six days left, I want to try the effect first."

He wanted to try it, but there happened to be such an opportunity, why didn't he seize it.

Jinxin Tower, Xiang Yan is the host.

New ones are not necessarily good ones. He himself has learned operas for more than ten years, so he is reluctant to change operas in a mess, but even so, this is a very bold attempt.

If the effect is good, that's the best, and their theater troupe can continue to survive, and escape disaster by changing their appearance with the new name.

Even if it's a step back, it doesn't matter if the effect is not good, they will not starve to death in the 36th line, and Ye Lianzhou thinks it's not impossible for them to do something else together.

He thought so far...

The class leader didn't know what to say for a moment, and he said after a while, "The money you sent back earlier is enough... Then, he gave it to you, right?"

The class leader was about to say a few words, who would give someone such a large sum of money so easily, he thought Ye Lianzhou had to pay something, at least he had to promise something...

"Don't worry, I borrowed it."

Ye Lianzhou said the same thing as Xiang Yan.

In the past, he would accept whatever Xiang Yan gave him, and he also had a small treasury, but this time, things can't be settled with just money, and he needs a name if he wants to change his appearance.

Borrowing money from him is also considered pulling a banner from him.

At the beginning, Xiang Yan said: "You don't have to pay it back, that's what I'm willing to give to Zhou Zhou, and it's not much."

"No, I'll borrow it."

Ye Lianzhou turned cold and repeated, "I said, I borrowed it, and there is a document, and I will pay you back with the principal and interest in the future. We return one yard for one yard."

Xiang Yan changed his words again: "That's good, it's a loan."

In fact, he never thought about getting anything back from Ye Lianzhou. The first time he told Ye Lianzhou that he liked him, Ye Lianzhou's expression was very calm.

Calm as if in that era, it was normal for a man to express his love for another man.

It's been a long time.

"I can't do the work of serving people."

Ye Lianzhou said pointedly.

In fact, his words, behavior, tone, and even Ye Lianzhou's attitude in front of Xiang Yan from the beginning to the end, I am afraid no one will believe him.

He is too bold, but he is just a low-level actor, and Xiang Yan is far higher than him in terms of status and status.

What is his family background in detail? I don’t seem to have heard him mention it. What has he experienced before?But if you think about it, you can also know that he is not such a good person to get along with.

There are countless vertical and horizontal scars on his bare arms, and from the occasional murmurs of the people below him, it can also be pieced together that Xiang Yan is not as heartless as he was in front of Ye Lianzhou.

Those big people who have power and status seldom care about the emotions and wishes of small people.

It's not that Ye Lianzhou himself hasn't heard countless deeds, and in the end, there is no good end, it's just one-sided oppression and extortion after another.

In fact, Xiang Yan could do such a thing, after all, the disparity between the two was too great, but he didn't.

Who gave Ye Lianzhou such courage and confidence?

Ye Lianzhou thought for a while,

Probably Xiang Yan gave it to him.

Because his attitude, words and deeds are all sending some kind of signal to Ye Lianzhou, for example, he can be promoted to a place with better development outside, but he wants to stay in Biancheng.

Since they all handed over the pole in person, Ye Lianzhou of course chose to climb up the pole.

Of course, one inch is not enough, he has to go three feet further.

Xiang Yan didn't know if he heard the implication of Ye Lianzhou's words at that time.

He actually smiled: "It's okay, it's the same when I serve you."

The meaning of the word "serve" is very vague. It seems to have no meaning at a shallow level, but at a deeper level, it has another meaning that cannot be explained in detail.

Or maybe...he didn't understand at all.

Ye Lianzhou then planned to speak more bluntly, for example, he is not the kind who will be inferior to others, and he is also unable to do those flattering things.

"Actually, I don't really understand those things..."

"But as long as Zhou Zhou is happy, I'm willing to do anything."

Relying on his amazing intuition, Xiang Yan unexpectedly answered Ye Lianzhou's question by mistake.

"You said you don't like to serve others, so I'll serve you." He said surprisingly: "Actually, I'm not very good at it, but I can learn. I learn things quite quickly."

Xiang Yan bought a bouquet of flowers for Ye Lianzhou from outside. It was a rose that he thought was a rose, but it was actually a rose.

Pinch off the long thorny stem, Xiang Yan pinned the gorgeous flowers in full bloom to Ye Lianzhou's temples, the layers of rose petals complemented the fair complexion of the wearer.

Ye Lianzhou was already good-looking, but the flowers pinned to his ears made him even more beautiful, and he was more delicate than flowers.

Flowers do not bloom on Ye Lianzhou's temples, but also on Xiang Yan's heart

I just felt that my chest was inexplicably numb.

People say that actors are ruthless, if Ye Lianzhou is really a ruthless person, then he will love his ruthlessness.

In short, there is no way not to love him.

The author has something to say:

Attacking is still just using receiving.

There is an invisible circle around Xiaozhou, and those who are drawn into the circle by him, he will treat them well and sincerely.But now, Shou is clearly still outside the circle.

The next chapter must be sweet woo woo woo
