Xibao took advantage of Cao Guiying's success and became an instant success in Beijing.

Literati and poets flocked to her stage, and everyone praised her more than those in Shanghai.

Within a month, Xibao became a popular actor that major theaters were eager to invite.

The limelight once overshadowed Cao Guiying, who invited her here in the first place.

"I'm so confused. I invited an enemy to steal all my limelight."

Cao Guiying was drinking tea at Xibao's house and joking randomly.

Xibao was a little absent-minded, because after that day, Yu Wenliang never came again, but Zhang Bolin was always there. Xibao asked around and found out that Yu Wenliang's family was very strict and his studies were tight now.

Came out easily.

I thought it was an opportunity that would come to my door, but it turned out not to be that easy.

Moreover, Yu Wenliang did not ask Zhang Bolin to reveal his identity to Xibao, so Xibao could only pretend not to know, let alone ask Zhang Bolin to take him to see Yu Wenliang. If he showed too much concern, it would be easy for the secret to be revealed.

At the same time, he did not want to have much to do with Zhang Bolin. This person was not very stable, and if he was asked to push his limits, it would easily cause some unpleasant things.

"Yeah, blame me for asking for trouble. Jiao'er is so popular now, I'm afraid he will kick me away as the leader."

Wen Zhongjun heard something wrong from the side, so he rushed up and touched Xibao while he was refilling the tea. Xibao came back to his senses and looked at Wen Zhongjun inexplicably.

Wen Zhongjun then reminded her: "Boss Cao is jealous that you are more popular than her now."

"Nonsense."

Xibao looked at Cao Guiying with a busy smile, his whole face made people look at him.

"Sister Guiying is my leader and the most popular Kun Jiao'er in Beijing. As a newcomer, how can I compare to Sister Guiying?"

That's true. If an opera singer wants to become famous, there are many factors.

Of course you have to sing well, but this is only one of them.

You also need people to support you, you need to have opportunities, and you need to have actors who are on the same stage who can cooperate well.

Otherwise, some people become famous for a while, then change troupes, and then they fall into disrepair and lose their prestige.

In recent years, there have been a few female actresses in Beijing who were more popular than her, Cao Guiying, but she is the only one who has been as popular for such a long time.

Xibao can think so thoroughly, become so famous, and respect her so much, she deserves to be famous.

"You are quite clever."

Cao Guiying felt comfortable, and the atmosphere naturally relaxed.

But when she came today, she didn't really mean to chat.

Originally, she invited Xibao here just for the scripted play of "The Story of the Stone". Now that the play was over, Xibao had no intention of returning to Shanghai. She just wanted to ask Xibao about his future plans.

"It's just that "The Story of the Stone" has been sung, what are your plans next?"

Xibao and Wen Zhongjun looked at each other and smiled. She knew that the Yikun Troupe had its own four pillars, and they usually sang small-scale operas and did not need two protagonists.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

Originally, with Cao Guiying's fame and status, it was not unfair for Xibao to give her the four-poster role, but now that she has become popular and there are so many theaters inviting her, Cao Guiying wants to keep her in the theater troupe, but it is hard to say.

Xibao doesn't have so many ideas.

In her current situation, unless she forms her own troupe, there are only so many female actors, so how can it be so easy to form a temporary one? Either the skills are uneven, or the hearts are not aligned, and there is definitely no tacit understanding that they have cultivated together since childhood.

If Su Yawang was willing to come, she wouldn't have to worry so much.

But Su Yawang has only played a leading role for a few days now and has made a name for herself in Shanghai. How can we ask her to come to Beijing to do four pillars for her again?

Xibao then smiled and said, "If Sister Guiying is willing to take her in, how about I make a four-poster for Sister Guiying?"

Cao Guiying actually had this intention. In the past, her troupe also sang a lot of plays, but the scope was really small. Most of them were one-man shows with female roles. When encountering such live performances as "The Story of the Willow Shade" and "Butterfly Cup", Danxing

Even though I can perform these very serious plays, I don't always feel like they are evenly matched when performing them.

After working with Xibao, she found the reason.

It feels right to have actors of similar ability acting opposite each other.

It's just that such a relatively time-consuming drama is not often performed in the theater. It happens three to five times a month.

The rest of the time, the actors sang more excerpts, which lasted less time and made a lot of money.

At this time, there is no need for both people to be on stage at the same time.

So she really thought of a way and came to Xibao specifically to discuss it.

"That's what happened. The troupe that used to sing matinees at Xixiangfen Theater has now gone to sing night shows elsewhere. Several little girls in our troupe want to earn more money, but they are suffering from the fact that no one can sing the main roles. After all,

My energy is also limited."

Cao Guiying said, fearing that Xibao would misunderstand her meaning, so she explained: "Don't get me wrong, I mean, we will take turns at the matinee and night shows, you sing one, three, five, and I sing two

, Thursday, Saturday, let’s sing a big show together on Sunday——”

As she spoke, something suddenly occurred to her, and she added: "But let's agree first that we will be responsible for selecting plays for our own venue, and the other party will never interfere, how about that?"

This is an idea, but after all, Cao Guiying still suffered a bit.

Xibao and Wen Zhongjun naturally had no reason to disagree, so they made the matter happen.

That day, Xibao sang in the matinee. After the show, she felt a little sleepy. She thought that before Wen Zhongjun came, she took a nap in the dressing room for a while, and unexpectedly fell asleep. She had a separate dressing room and was not very big at ordinary times.

She didn't like being disturbed, so the person who combed her hair and the person who took care of the box had already told her to let her go.

It just so happened that Wen Zhongjun was caught up in something and came a little late, so she slept until dark and woke up only when she heard the noise outside.

She yawned and stumbled out of the dressing room. She saw the showman hurriedly came in to talk to Cao Guiying, but ran away in a panic as soon as he saw her.

Cao Guiying also looked very unhappy and was shocked when she saw Xibao.

"Why are you here at this time?"

Xibao yawned and said, "I overslept. What show are you singing tonight?"

As she said this, she looked at Cao Guiying's outfit and saw that she was going to sing "Yang Paifeng Beats Jiao Zan".

However, Cao Guiying complained to her: "Forget it, Man Jiang has been having troubles for the past few days. She disappeared from play again today. I rushed to her house several times to encourage the drama, but I didn't find anyone. The drama is about to begin.

It’s starting, I’m afraid tonight’s nightclub is going to have a red light.”

Shen Manjiang is another co-star in the Yi Kun class, and is one of the few clean actors among Kun boys.

Although the government now allows women to sing on stage, it still does not allow men and women to share the stage. Therefore, Jing Jiao'er is very popular in the Kun class. Before Xibao came, Man Jiang was considered the second person in the Yi Kun class.

After hearing what Cao Guiying said, Xibao somewhat understood what she was causing trouble.

At this moment, the opera promoter came back again, and said with a sad face: "Boss Cao, I actually found Boss Shen, but she asked me to bring you a message, saying that this theater troupe has her but not Boss Liu, and Liu
