It’s better to be in pieces than in ruins

The four masters and apprentices were at odds with each other and were at a stalemate.

Wen Zhongjun suddenly gave Liu Tielan a hard push and pushed Liu Tielan to the ground.

This is considered the following offense and offends Master.

This was absolutely not allowed in the old troupe business, so everyone was so shocked that they could not move and looked at Wen Zhongjun in disbelief.

Wen Zhongjun also missed, and was stunned for a moment, but he only thought for a moment, then began to adjust his makeup, pretending to be free and easy, looked at Liu Tielan and said: "Master, you don't know, I can sing, Jixiang Grand Theater

, sing the Chinese Axis Son, I will become famous."

At this time, there are no advertisements for opera performances in the theater, and no playbills are released. Before the audience enters the theater, they don’t know which actors will be singing today, let alone what kind of plays there are. They have to wait until they have listened to one or two plays.

You can tell who will sing by watching the people moving around backstage, so there is a special business in the theater called selling playlists.

Therefore, the players will not compete for the top or second prizes, there is no such thing.

If everyone wants to fight, fight for the order of appearance.

Generally, theatergoers who have the reputation to be rewarded with money will wait until the theater opens before going out. By the time they get to the theater, the singer has already finished singing halfway, and then they go in to entertain the guests and chat. When the theater actually starts,

It happens to be the beginning of the axis.

After listening to one or two plays, it's time to leave.

Most of the roles that come to the back to sing big roles are new plays that need to be sung for several consecutive performances. This kind of new play is experimental and may or may not sound good. Respectable people who don’t want to be guinea pigs often don’t have time.

Stay and keep listening.

Usually it is people like peddlers and lackeys who rarely have enough money to go to the theater to listen to it, and they will listen to it from beginning to end, but these people also don't have enough money to give rewards.

Therefore, the actors often have to compete to sing the centerpiece when singing. However, unless he has excellent kung fu or is very famous, it is usually not his turn to sing.

So when she heard that Wen Zhongjun was going to sing Zhuangzizi at the Jixiang Grand Theater, Liu Tielan stood up and slapped Wen Zhongjun in the mouth.

"When you sing in the Jixiang Grand Theater, don't you look at how much you weigh? Who of the singing roles there is not equal to the other? If you squeeze others in to sing, are you worthy?

Master has told you a long time ago that the most important thing in life is to recognize one's own abilities. If morality is not worthy of it, sooner or later you will fall!"

As Liu Tielan said this, she wanted to hit Wen Zhongjun in the mouth again, trying to wake him up and stop him from daydreaming.

Unexpectedly, Wen Zhongjun grabbed his wrist and stopped him from hitting him.

"I just received two slaps from you in vain because I thought of my feelings as master and disciple. Now I won't bear it any longer.

What you said is always correct, but you missed one thing. Actors with extraordinary talents can perform according to their abilities, but how can there be so many talented people in this world?

Someone with mediocre qualifications like me needs to be praised.

Now Jin Sanye is willing to praise me and ask me to sing the Chinese axle at the Jixiang Grand Theater. He also said that he would book three performances in a row and find a newspaper to publish a report to praise me.

Didn't you say that before?

There are many people in the world who understand opera, but there are even more people who don't understand opera. Most people watch operas just for fun. Who knows what is good? What is bad?

It’s just that I’m just following what others say. If more people say I’m good, I’ll become really good.”

Mr. Jin?

Liu Xi had only been in the capital for a short time and didn't know much about the famous people here. However, someone passing by happened to whisper something, so she listened.

"Mr. Jin is very happy today. He has rewarded several new sisters-in-law. I heard that one of them serves him the hardest. If he pleases Mr. Jin, he will be able to sing the centerpiece at the Jixiang Grand Theater tomorrow."

Liu Xi knew that this was talking about Wen Zhongjun. She soon figured out what Wen Zhongjun's words meant. She suddenly looked towards Wen Zhongjun and saw Liu Tielan spitting directly into his face, followed by another one. .

"I'm willing to humble myself! I, Liu Tielan, have raised you for free. From now on, we will never be estranged from each other and pretend that we don't even know each other!"

After Liu Tielan finished speaking, she left with her hands behind her back.

After taking two steps, he turned back and glared at the disciples and said, "If you don't follow us, you see the benefits and want to stay and take the shortcut together, right?"

Shen Liangjun and Shen Mengjun shook their heads in unison.

Not to mention that they don't want to, even if they do, not everyone can do the job of being a aunt. Someone has to be good-looking and young like Wen Zhongjun to be wanted.

Shen Liangjun then gave Wen Zhongjun a hard look, "You are really confused, just take care of yourself!" After saying that, he left.

Shen Mengjun had already told Wen Zhongjun all the good things to say and did not persuade him, so he asked him to come. At this moment, he was speechless, shook his head, and left with Shen Liangjun and Liu Tielan.

Only Liu Xi looked at Wen Zhongjun standing at the entrance of the alley, standing there for a long time without going in. That look reminded her of herself when she saw her whole family burned down.

She suddenly felt compassion, walked up and handed over her veil.

"Senior brother, please wipe your face first."

Wen Zhongjun glanced at her, and there was a lot of softness in his eyes.

He took Liu Xi's handkerchief, wiped his face twice, and suddenly smiled.

"You think I'm mean too, don't you?"

Liu Xi was thinking about other things and nodded subconsciously. When she realized it, she quickly shook her head.

But Wen Zhongjun no longer cares.

"It doesn't matter, I chose the path myself. I have chosen this path now, and I will be responsible for whether it is good or bad in the future.

It's you, in this world, it's difficult for an actor to walk, even for male actors, it's even more difficult for female actors. If you insist on singing, I just hope you don't end up like me in the future."

As he spoke, he leaned down and picked up the few taels of silver that Liu Tielan had just thrown on the ground, and handed them to Liu Xi's hand.

"These few taels of silver are what I have saved through frugality in my daily life. It is clean money. The weather is getting colder and Master's legs are getting cold again. You can use it to buy some cotton for Master and make a knee pad or something." , just don’t say it’s the money I gave you.”

His eyes turned red as he spoke, and he said nothing more. He stared at the dirty handkerchief in his hand, turned around and went back without giving it back to Liu Xi.

Liu Xi looked at his increasingly blurry back and felt very uncomfortable.

She thought that Wen Zhongjun was probably reluctant to let go of Xi Rongsheng and his master, but he made his own choice and took action for it. She somewhat admired his courage.

It's just that they are different. Wen Zhongjun thinks that people with mediocre qualifications must rely on others to become popular, but she doesn't think so.

She likes to sing opera, and she doesn't care how many people she sings for or whether she can become famous. As long as she can stand on the stage and have people acting opposite her, she will be very satisfied after this addiction to opera is over.

Opera has been a pure art since ancient times. Before the show started, a blue dragon and white tiger shook the place to tell the audience that my performance was sacred and should not be disturbed.

Therefore, its essence cannot be tainted by any dirty things.

This is what Liu Xi’s father told her since she was very young.

So on this day, she made a vow in her young heart that no matter what difficulties she encountered in the future, she would never choose Wen Zhongjun's path, and would rather be broken than ruined!
