Chapter 7 Five years of study and debut
Time is such a bastard, it is like a stone on the edge of the railway.
You, as young as you, bent down along the railway tracks, picked up stones into your pockets. Until at a certain moment, the stones could not be loaded and fell out. Then you suddenly realized that your buddy had already walked so far and picked up so many.
You stop, dump all the stones on the side of the road, and then pick up some of the beautiful ones and put them back in your pocket, and the rest have to be treated as memories along the way.
You abandon these memories and continue to walk along the railroad tracks. You never tire of it, and continue to bend down again and again, and continue to pick up stones...
The above words are the true monologues in Liu La's heart at this time. Of course, picking up stones is a rhetorical technique. This job is too literary and not suitable for Liu La. Liu La picked up the melon seed skin that the junior brother kept spitting around.
He said he was a junior brother, but in fact he was Guo Dagang's son. The child was named Guo Qilin. He was only 7 years old this year. It was the most naughty time. Not to mention that people annoy him, even the dog at the door of Deyun Club would take a detour as soon as he saw him.
Guo Dagang's family has rules. The apprentices who live at home have to take turns cleaning every day. Today it's Liu La's turn to be on duty again.
As a result, Liu La was sweeping here, and Guo Qilin, the prodigal child, followed him and knocked melon seeds, throwing them all over the ground, making Liu La so angry.
"Master's wife, don't care about him!" He looked back at his master's wife Wang Hui who was sitting on the sofa watching TV shows. Liu La was full of resentment.
At this time, it had been five years since Liu La became a disciple of Guo Dagang. In five years, Liu La had grown from a young man who was once a young man to a handsome young man today.
Hearing Liu La's complaint, the master's wife smiled and said, "Who should you blame? You deserve it. Who told you to come here? I promised to bring him delicious food last night. The child waited until after two o'clock in the morning. But when he arrived, let alone food, even you didn't know where to go!"
"Accident, purely an accident. Didn't I happen to meet my classmates by chance? I went back to the dormitory with them." After being exposed by the teacher's wife, Liu La couldn't help but smile and explained a few words, then turned around and pinched Guo Qilin's fat face: "Ancestor, can we stop making trouble? I'm wrong. I'll buy you two copies today, so there's no difference!"
Hearing this, Guo Qilin's little face wrinkled: "I think you are not worthy of trust! Otherwise, you might as well give me some cash."
"Ah?" This guy, a naughty boy, made Liu La feel bad.
"Puchi." The master's wife sitting next to her couldn't hold back her joy. He waved to Guo Qilin: "Okay, baby, I won't buy it for you, I'll buy it for you, let's not recruit him today! He is going to perform on stage for the first time today. If he doesn't perform well, he blames you. If your father takes care of you, I can't stop you!"
As soon as he said this, he finally scared Guo Qilin. This naughty child was not afraid of anything else, but his father Guo Dagang.
"You remember, double portion!" After giving Liu La earnestly, the naughty child walked over to Wang Hui. Sitting next to Wang Hui, he looked up at the stepmother who treated him as if he was his own, and blinked his little eyes: "Auntie, what did you say you wanted to buy for me just now?"
Wang Hui...
Spicy...
During these five years, Liu La has lived a fulfilling life. He traveled between his master's home and school every day, and did not delay his study and learning. The only regret is that because he often goes to perform around the country, Liu La's high school for five years and has not graduated, and he still has some credits.
Fortunately, because there are quite a lot of students like him in the class, Liu La himself, including his parents, did not feel too anxious about this.
In five years, with Guo Dagang's hard work, the situation of Deyun Club has gradually improved. Although it is not popular for the time being, the actors' salaries are comparable to ordinary urban white-collar workers. They are only one step away from the most glorious moment.
Based on time, Liu La estimated that the kick to "kick the throne" of Guo Dagang from the idle folk grassroots artist should be coming soon.
Liu La is looking forward to the arrival of that moment, but at this moment, he is more concerned about what is about to happen now.
After five years of hard work, Liu La is finally going to be on stage for the first time tonight.
In fact, Guo Dagang had already notified him about this matter more than a month ago, and Liu La made sufficient preparations in advance. However, when this moment came, he inevitably became nervous.
After cleaning at noon, Liu La came to Zhang Yiyuan Teahouse early with concern.
When he came to the backstage of the performance, Mr. Zhang Wenshun was waiting for him with tea bowls.
Because he is still in school and the time cannot be fixed, Liu La does not have a fixed partner. Mr. Zhang is quite familiar with him, and he can still talk to him one by one and one by one. Therefore, today Guo Dagang specially asked this old man to support Liu La.
Just so happens that the old man is idle now. If the effect of the two of them today is OK, maybe the couple of young and old will be fixed.
Seeing Liu La coming, the old man smiled: "I knew you must have arrived early today. I came here to wait for you, thinking about relieving you. Why are you nervous?"
Liu La couldn't help but feel moved when he heard the old man say he was here to wait for him.
He sniffed and said, "I really let you talk. Somehow, since the fight began this week, I started to feel panic. I was up and down all day and couldn't calm down."
Speaking of this, Liu La asked Zhang Wenshun with a little curiosity: "Mr., were you nervous when you first came on stage?"
Hearing his words, Mr. Zhang was amused: "On stage? When I first performed, there was no stage! At that time, we always looked for a piece of land on the overpass, and then drew a circle with white lime. People stood in the white circle and said that the income was all based on the audience's reward of copper coins. After all, in the early years, it was not like now, and there were no tickets sold in the open air at that time."
After thinking about it, Mr. Zhang said again: "I must have been nervous at that time, but when I really act, I don't care about nervousness. You kid, you have been very worried since you were a child! I can't help you with this personality, so I'll accompany you to the words twice. After all, if you are more familiar with your life, you have more confidence, that's the reason."
"Hey, this is also a way, I'm just trouble you." Liu La quickly added tea to the old man, and then the two of them talked about the lyrics in the background.
In fact, the old man is really right. Liu La is nervous for nothing, just because he is worried.
He was not afraid of performing on stage. He studied acting in his last life and had long liberated his nature and had no tension in stage performance. What really made him nervous was the unreality of being a human being for two lives, and finally standing on stage again.
This confusing emotion can only be slowly relieved by time...
As soon as this person gets busy, time passes very quickly. In the blink of an eye, Liu La and Mr. Zhang only took a few words in the backstage, and the performance point is here.
The first opening work to go on stage was the quick-row book "Linglong Tower" by Boss Gao Feng Gao. As the host of the newspaper finished speaking, a tall and thin man walked up from the backstage, ringing the quick-row in his hand, and singing quickly in his mouth—
Linglong Tower, Tower Linglong, Linglong Pagoda First Level,
A high table with four legs, a monk with a scripture.
A cymbal and a chime, a wooden fish roe and a lamp.
A golden bell, a total of four taels, and the wind blew...
According to Guo Dagang's evaluation, the biggest feature of this actor is that he has no characteristics at all. His performance is particularly clean, without any mess, basic skills, and all kinds of penis practice the most solid and smoothest.
This fast-paced book lasts for about ten minutes. After Boss Gao finished performing it, Guo Dagang was immediately followed. He and Yu Qian were naturally the most happy to watch. As soon as they came on stage, there were warm applause from the audience.
"It's all here." Guo Dagang said with a smile when he stood in the middle of the stage.
"Well. A lot of people came today." Yu Qian answered his words.
"Hmph." Guo Dagang snorted coldly: "But there are no ones who come. You can bear the consequences if you don't come!"
Yu Qian: "Yo, what are the consequences?"
Guo Dagang curled his lips: "I saved 20 yuan in tickets..."
The two teachers started talking nonsense as soon as they got on the stage, but Liu La, who was waiting at this time, felt more nervous and anxious.
Finally, after more than forty minutes, after returning to the stage again, Guo Dagang bowed to the audience below: "The two actors below, one of you is very familiar with, Mr. Zhang Wenshun, the other one is one of my apprentices. This child is on stage for the first time today. Please support you all. If you can't go there, don't scare the child. Please come to me and say, Guo Dagang thanks you again for your parents of food and clothing."
After saying this, Guo Dagang and Yu Qian bowed deeply to the audience and then stepped down.
