Chapter 709 Tour
[Ran Ran Lili! ]
Although Lin Yuran is not among the eight people, except for Pu Tong, the other people in the group are definitely her loyal fans.
After all, they had said before that Ran Ran was not only Lin Yuxi's sister, but also everyone's sister in the future.
Your sister is very good, she will be mine in the next second!
It's not that they are bragging, Lin Yuran is only fifteen years old this year, and he can actually compete with other first-line singers on the same stage without falling behind. He can even counterattack and directly become the number one in the vote rankings.
To do this under the premise that the audience is not optimistic about it, this is completely a slap in the face that the young genius loves to see, and no one can praise him after seeing it.
Among this group, only Yu Wanwan has achieved this achievement at the age of 15. After all, she won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Newcomer at the age of fourteen.
Although Pu Tong is now unparalleled in popularity, he only came into being last year. At the age of fifteen, he was still an unknown amateur.
Several other people were tepid when they were fifteen, and they couldn't even touch Lin Yuran's side now...
It can only be said that their talents are average and they have not met any noble people. If they could have met Pu Tong when they were fifteen years old, they would have taken off long ago!
Pu Tong just smiled and said nothing when he heard this. If they met his fifteen-year-old self, they would probably just stare and say nothing.
[Okay, okay, I've already told Ran Ran. ]
Seeing her sister being so praised by her friends, Lin Yuxi, as a sister, was naturally overjoyed and expressed her gratitude on her sister's behalf.
Her group of friends are not ordinary people. There are eight of them, and any one of them is a first-line artist. If they can get their praise, her sister will be proud of herself!
[Pu Tong, we are ready. When will the second entry examination start? ]
The person who spoke was Chen Siqing. He and Tang Luocheng failed the last exam to join Kepu. Now they are both free agents and cannot take on any business. They are really in a hurry.
The two of them learned from the experience and worked hard in private for a long time, and now they have the confidence to start over again.
[Yes! ]
Only then did Xie Mu remember that he hadn't negotiated the termination of the contract for so long since he came back, and he hadn't taken the Putong Company's entrance exam.
Ever since he fell in love, he seemed to have become a true love-head. He didn't care about anyone except Ling Ling, and he had somewhat forgotten his original intention.
After all, he is still a star, and it is time for him to do something serious.
[Take me one. ]
Hearing that Xie Mu was also going to take the entrance exam, Tang Luocheng and Chen Siqing were a little embarrassed. This guy was a real academic. What if they ran away with him again in this exam?
But now that the matter was over, they didn't want to delay it any longer, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet.
[Since you are all coming, come to Huailin to gather on the 1st of next month! ]
The headquarters of Kepu Company is in Huailin. It is not impossible for a few of them to come back and visit their old places again.
[Okay, okay, early April! ]
Gan Hengxu, who had not been able to speak for a long time, suddenly spoke up, looking overjoyed. What made the usually dull man so happy must be that something great happened to him.
[Didn’t I say last year that our troupe would tour across the country? We have already booked the first stop of the tour in Huailin, which happens to be in early April. ]
Gan Hengxu really wanted to call his friends to watch the show together, but he was cautious and reserved. He didn't know if his friends were free and didn't know how to speak.
Now everyone has to come to Huailin to take the exam, which solves his urgent need. Wouldn't it be nice to invite everyone to watch the show together?
Don't underestimate their troupe performances. Today's opera actors are all established and paid by the state. It's really not easy for ordinary people to get into places like the National Peking Opera Company.
Take their theater troupe as an example. The troupe has its own leader. There are about four or five leading actors and about ten actors in a troupe, not counting the supporting cast.
The band is usually Beijing Hu + Erhu + Beijing Erhu + Yueqin + Da Ruan + Xiao Ruan + Si Gu + Da Gong + Xiao Gong. Depending on the repertoire, there will also be a mess of pipa, bamboo flute, and bangle, and there will be a makeup artist in the background. There are many masters who help with hair binding and clothing.
His troupe had been preparing for this tour for a long time, and it could be said that they turned out in full force. For such a grand occasion, he had to call his brothers to open their eyes!
Pu Tong became interested immediately after hearing this.
When I was a child, usually in the summer, opera troupes would often go to the village to find a larger open space and set up a stage to sing operas for three to five days. There are more than ten people in a troupe, including monitors, actors, bands, makeup artists, etc., with a clear division of labor and each performing their own duties.
In their orphanage where supplies are scarce, watching theater has become a rare entertainment time that all children look forward to.
As night falls, after dinner, the stage begins to slowly become lively. Neighbors, men, women, and children, bring their own small benches, stand or sit, looking forward to the start of the show.
They would even climb into the trees on the edge of the field just to get a better look. The owner of the canteen also pushed a tricycle filled with various snacks, which made them addicted when they were young.
He still remembered that the band behind the scenes sounded the sound of gongs and drums, accompanied by the applause of the audience. After the scene, the actors on the stage sang with all their heart, and they listened heartily in the audience.
But now, the generation that relied on singing to make a living has aged, and young people rarely rely on this industry to make a living, fearing that it will be difficult to support themselves. As a result, the amateur theater troupe gradually became inactive and it was difficult to find traces.
In this increasingly impetuous, utilitarian and fast-paced era, few young people can calm down and practice, study, and ponder the boring and difficult operas handed down from their ancestors.
Entering the new millennium, the entertainment industry has developed rapidly, and people's spare time life has become more and more enriched. Listening to operas has long been forgotten.
Coupled with the popularity of smartphones, entertainment apps represented by Douyin and Kuaishou have filled people's spare time, occupying every fragment of time, and they have long lost interest in obscure operas.
Of course, many people may give it a thumbs-up when they occasionally see an exquisitely dressed female actor singing a few lines for more than ten seconds, but they have long since lost the possibility of seriously watching a show.
Those nights of eating snacks, carrying a small bench, chasing fireflies, and listening to the show became his eternal memories.
If possible, I would like to listen carefully to the end.
[Definitely come! ]
Pu Tong's three words are a bit firm. He really likes the art of opera, not only because it is an excellent traditional culture, but also because he has been infected by this art.
Only art that can enter the homes of ordinary people is real art. Opera may become tepid, but there will definitely be people who remember it.
Pu Tong wanted to listen to a play.
