The official performance of "The Jade Hairpin" is tentatively scheduled for November, and the coolness of Su Qiu at that time just matched the artistic conception of the play. And for the actors, the temperature is just right, neither too hot nor too cold.
After intensive rehearsal some time ago, Director Xu decided to take a fold of "Piano Pick" for a formal rehearsal. All scheduling is the same as the official performance, try how the performance works.
Qingcheng has been following this for a while, and has gradually developed some interest in Kunqu Opera. In addition, after all, she also has her own labor to pay, so she is looking forward to it.
The day before the rehearsal, Qingcheng's roommate Shi Yingying suddenly contacted her: "Mumu, what are you doing? I'll come back temporarily to see the handsome guy."
Qingcheng said: "Don't you like to look at juniors?"
Shi Yingying said with an "oops": "Didn't I say, I fell in love with him at first sight. Later, I went to the Internet to find out his previous performances to watch. I can appreciate him now, he really It's very like my boss Gu 20 years ago!"
"Okay... Okay, I'm so busy right now, I won't talk about Yingying, but tomorrow night we just have a rehearsal, seven o'clock, can you come?"
"Really, that's great."
"I'll send your address back."
On the day of the rehearsal, Qingcheng and Shi Yingying joined forces at the subway station not far from the garden. As soon as he saw someone, Qingcheng asked, "Have you eaten yet? It's too early to leave the venue, shall I take you to eat first?"
"I lose weight and don't eat at night. How about you?"
The green oranges are eaten with the actors - after three o'clock, because the actors can't be full before the performance, they eat earlier.
"I've eaten. Then I'll take you directly."
Shi Yingying suddenly looked at Qingcheng seriously and said, "Darling, you told me last night that the garden where the performance is held belongs to your house. At that time, I was very frightened, thinking that I must meet with you. To confirm again: Are you really the legendary rich family daughter? For more than three years, you have been hiding too deeply, right?"
"What daughter, I have a maximum of 100 catties. I didn't deliberately hide it before, but you didn't find it, so I didn't say it."
Shi Yingying was very excited: "I'm just too surprised, okay? Think back to when I, a silly girl from the landowner's family, who was a rice contractor, was always showing off her wealth in front of you. You are so... subtle."
Qingcheng held Comrade Shi Yingying's hands sincerely and said: "Rice contractors, they are the parents of food and clothing, and they should show off."
The two laughed for a while, and finally got outside the garden.
The security guard at the door knew Qingcheng and naturally did not stop them. But Qingcheng didn't take Shi Yingying directly to the room that was now used for the backstage, because it was the busiest time there.
"After the show, I'll take you to see Mr. Su and the others. Now, I'll take you to get acquainted with the environment, and then you will stand with our staff."
The two were walking on the path leading to the back garden, and the speakers hidden in the shadows were playing an ancient tune.
"This is... a guzheng?" Shi Yingying knew nothing about traditional Chinese musical instruments.
"It's the guqin." Qingcheng corrected.
"What's the difference?" Shi Yingying asked again.
"The looks are different, and the voices are different." Qingcheng said succinctly. Of course, for Shi Yingying, speaking is equal to not speaking.
But Shi Yingying didn't bother at all, and then asked, "Then do you know what this song is?"
"The Good Night Quote."
"It's amazing. It really is the representative of our banqin, chess, calligraphy and painting." Shi Yingying was convinced.
The song is over, and a new song is coming. Shi Yingying raised her eyebrows at her, the meaning was obvious - she was going to test her again.
Qingcheng heard it as soon as she heard it: ""Autumn Night Steps to the Moon"."
"I took it, I took it." Shi Yingying said with a smile.
"Orange orange." Director Xu walked towards him quickly.
"Oh, second uncle." Qingcheng introduced the second uncle, "This is the classmate I told you before, her name is Shi Yingying."
"Hello." Director Xu extended his hand in an old-fashioned way.
Shi Yingying hurriedly shook back: "Hello, uncle!"
"It's alright before the opening, Qingcheng, you have a good time with your classmates. I'll go make two meals first."
Qingcheng hurriedly said: "Okay, let's go eat."
Shi Yingying watched Director Xu disappear around the corner, and murmured dejectedly, "The house belongs to your family, and the director is your uncle... I'm out of balance. I can only be psychologically balanced by marrying my forty-one flower boss Gu."
Qingcheng laughed and said: "Your boss Gu can make soy sauce even if it's not a baby?"
"That's right, you can't destroy other people's families." Shi Yingying suddenly thought of something, and clapped her hands together and said, "Where's Boss Su? There's no famous flower who has an owner, right? Then I'll try to get Boss Su to marry me, haha."
Qingcheng feels that everyone has their own aspirations: "...then come on, come on."
The twilight is four, and the lanterns are beginning to come on, and the whole garden is shrouded in the clear and bright moonlight.
After nightfall, the whole yard actually felt a touch of autumn. Wherever the wind passes, Ye Ye rubs and rustles, which is why Director Xu must choose to perform the live-action garden version in the autumn, just to respond to Pan Bizheng's sentence: Fallen leaves startle and dream.
Qingcheng and Shi Yingying were sitting in an area of the garden that was circled into the auditorium.
The play finally begins-
"The leisurely and quiet couple meet each other occasionally, and Xiaoyin wants to tune at the beginning of the piano."
With the qin, the relationship between Pan Bizheng and Chen Miaochang is extraordinarily elegant.
Chen: In your prime, why did you play this wifeless song
Pan: Xiaosheng does not have a wife.
Chen: Don't do my business either.
Pan: Dare to beg Xian Gu, how about a face-to-face song
The plot is slowly advancing in this back and forth of the music. The sky is light and the stars are sparse, and the people in the garden are clear.
The people in the play changed, and the audience's eyes also changed from the pavilion to the bridge, and from the bridge to the corridor.
Due to time constraints, the garden version cut off a lot of the plot of the original drama, but it is better than the artistic conception. The night of the garden and the reasonable lighting schedule make the audience seem to peep an ancient love between young men and women in the garden. This is two completely different feelings from watching the version on stage.
After a short play, the play ended and the applause broke out! There were staff members, as well as leaders from the Baizhou Kunqu Opera Troupe who came to watch the effect, and Lu Zhi was there that day.
Shi Yingying turned her head to look at Qingcheng while applauding, with an excited tone: "I haven't had the opportunity to watch the live version, but today I finally got what I wanted, the show is so beautiful..."
Although Qingcheng has watched the rehearsal of "The Jade Hairpin" many times, but every time she watches it, she will have some new emotions.
"Yeah, it's beautiful."
Seeing that the male protagonist came down from the stage, Qingcheng seemed to glance at her, but in a blink of an eye, he turned to talk to Tong Anzhi.
Shouldn't he be looking at her on purpose, he just happened to be looking over here
After the play, Director Xu talked with the leaders of the troupe, and the actors went to the backstage to remove their makeup.
After Qingcheng helped the staff to clean up the venue, Shi Yingying couldn't wait to urge her: "Mumu, take me to see Boss Su. I'll go get an autograph and take a group photo!"
Qingcheng felt that Su Po was always at ease when he treated people, and he couldn't bear his temper at all, so it was not easy to guarantee: "I can take you there, but I can't guarantee whether Su Po is willing or not. ."
Shi Yingying nodded again and again, and said after seeing each other.
The two walked along the corridor and crossed the bridge, and finally reached the backstage lounge.
When Shi Yingying finally saw Super up close, her eyes seemed to be stuck with all-purpose glue. It can be said that the Super in the video was inferior to the reality.
"Hello... I'm you..." Miss Shi, who was famous for her ability to talk, lost her usual eloquence for a while.
Qingcheng didn't intend to say more, but at this time, she couldn't help but said, "Mr. Su, she is my classmate, her name is Shi Yingying... I like you very much." I just liked you, but I already wanted you to marry her. So there is nothing wrong with saying "I like it".
Su Po has taken off his hood and his shirt, wearing a white shirt with a lining, still there are many jade trees facing the wind, he still looks like a warm swallow, and greeted Shi Yingying: "Hello."
"Hello, hello!" Shi Yingying glanced at Qingcheng and motioned her to continue helping.
Qingcheng glared at her with hatred, and could only continue to help: "Boss Su, my classmate would like to ask for your autograph. If possible, I would like to take a photo with you again." attitude is very respectful.
She said, Shi Yingying had already taken out the notebook and pen in the bag very obediently.
Seeing that Qingcheng kept his eyes down and didn't look at him, Su Po smiled inaudibly, took the notebook and pen, signed his name, and smiled and said to Shi Yingying, "Thank you for your liking."
Shi Yingying immediately became enthusiastic and said sincerely, "I will always follow you!"
Qingcheng suddenly thought of the way that Shi used to be a coquettish bitch to newcomers in the new drama, and couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Supper asked her.
Qingcheng held back a smile and said seriously, "I'm happy for you."
After changing clothes, Tong Anzhi came over from the next room and said with a smile: "I heard what you said, Qingcheng brought friends?"
Shi Yingying said hello immediately: "Hello, Boss Tong! Your performance today is so good and beautiful."
Tong Anzhi said: "I can hear it, it's not a lie. Thank you."
Su Po stood up and said to Shi Yingying, "Wait for me to change clothes and take off my makeup before taking pictures with you, okay?"
"Of course, you are busy first, I will wait for you."
As soon as Su Po walked to the door of the inner room, he turned to look at Qingcheng and said, "Miss Xu, can I talk to you alone?"
Qingcheng had a bad premonition, and walked to him nervously, and deliberately kept a very safe distance: "What?"
Seeing that she wanted to be 108,000 miles away from him, Su Po took a step forward and whispered, "I can't sell my hue for nothing."
"... Boss Su, you are so funny."
Boss Su chuckled and said, "I'm serious."
seriously? Do you have to give money? The unknown green orange was about to touch the mobile phone to transfer money.
"Thinking about it, I don't seem to be lacking anything." Supper said again.
Qingcheng put down the hand that took out the phone.
Super said: "Then I owe it first, and I will talk to you when I think of it."
Qingcheng thought: The risk of being owed is too great, but for a while, I don't know how to deal with it.
She opened her mouth to speak twice, and finally said helplessly: "Okay." She was almost a knife in the back for her friend.
Classmate Shi Yingying grabbed Tong Anzhi to help her sign, and looked at the picture of Qingcheng and Su Po from the corner of his eyes, feeling an indescribable feeling. Although I don't know what they are talking about, I somehow feel very harmonious.
Mumu actually has such a good relationship with Boss Su
After Tong Anzhi signed it, he handed the book back to her. When she took the autograph book, she asked in a low voice, "Boss Tong, does Qingcheng have a good relationship with Boss Su? What are they whispering about, can't you tell us what we are listening to together?"
Tong Anzhi shrugged: "Have fun."
"..." Shi Yingying saw that Tong Anzhi was joking, so she didn't make a fuss and asked more, but when the atmosphere of their crew was good, she couldn't help but envy even more.
When Su Po was about to get home that day, he saw that the small and fresh flower shop outside the community was still open, so he parked the car unconsciously, got out of the car and went to the flower shop.
When I entered the store, I didn't know what to buy. In his life, except for the carnations he gave to Ms. Liang when he was a teenager, he never bought any other flowers.
But since you've come in, you can't go out empty-handed. He looked around and found that the calla lilies in the corner were the most pleasing to the eye, so he pointed to the boss and said, "Bring me ten."
When Su Po arrived home, Ms. Liang had just returned from the Latin dance class. Seeing her son came back with a bunch of flowers, he was not in a hurry to take a shower. She asked curiously and expectantly, "Girl gave it?"
"no."
"Is it for me?" Ms. Liang was still very happy.
"No." Super was about to lose his temper.
In the end, he said directly: "I think it looks good so I bought it."
Ms. Liang looked at her son as if she were looking at a monster. Finally, he waved his hand and said, "It's fine if you like it. Hey, the bigger it is, the harder it is to understand." Then he took his clothes and went to the bathroom.
Unaffected, Super went to find a glass jar and put the flowers in casually, always feeling that something was wrong.
He pondered that he should buy a beautiful vase another day to be worthy of such beautiful flowers.
