Chapter 137 Let's play a part
Boss Mao didn't say who was at fault. He coughed lightly and silently pushed Ai Lingzhi's hand away from his arm.
Li Xiangjun stood aside and watched, silently stood back to his original position, and said delicately: "My aunt has always respected Aunt Mao, and I will do whatever Aunt Mao says."
"traitor!"
Ai Lingzhi glared at Li Xiangjun and stood aside angrily. The five of them suddenly reached a deadlock.
The girls in Shangya class not far away all held their breath at this moment.
Only Liu Xiaomei murmured while eating: "It turns out that Boss Meng didn't ask us to come over because he wanted to protect us. With this posture, I was so scared that I cried when I stood there.
Sister Xibao can stand there properly and her legs are not weak. She is already very good."
Everyone looked at her and booed her.
Sun Yaling even picked up a fruit and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Eat your peanuts."
Liu Xiaomei was so aggrieved that she picked the peanut out of her mouth again and spat on it twice.
But female actresses can only survive in the constantly squeezed living space by joining a group to keep warm.
At this point, Liu Jinding's one-man show is over. If she wants to continue singing, it's time for her personal maid to take the stage.
It is worth noting that the role of Su Yawang, the maid, was played by Liu Jinding's Ma Tongjiaying general, so it was not Hua Dan who filled the role, but Wu Dan or Daoma Dan. Her recitation was not like that of an ordinary maid.
I still use Jingbai, but follow Liu Jinding and use Yunbai.
After saying these words, Su Yawang deliberately stood in the same place for a while, in order to buy more time for Xibao to relax his legs and feet.
As soon as she sat down, Ai Lingzhi and Li Xiangjun were naturally reluctant to leave, so they also sat down reluctantly.
Here, Boss Mao was pushed to the forefront. While he was hating Boss Meng for making trouble with her, he also regained a little bit of the feeling of being the boss and calling the shots.
This is a rule in the industry. Once on stage, you can't make any mistakes.
Su Yawang couldn't bear the hard work for her alone, so she said "yes" from a distance and walked onto the stage in small steps.
The more this happens, the more inheritance and development is needed, and a powerful person is needed to lead female actors to a better future.
"Let's sing two verses first and listen."
But not at this moment, Xibao didn't hesitate at all, walked straight over, turned around, folded his sleeves and bent his legs to sit in the air, his upper body still upright, and continued to read without changing his expression: "When the general left and there was no news, the slave was always worried.
I am concerned about you, I hope you and your ministers are safe and sound, and I wish you a pillar of fragrance to thank the gods!"
The girls in Shangya class felt heartbroken when they saw it and couldn't help but start talking.
After that, there is a Erhuang Adagio: "I miss you and my heart is anxious."
Xibao then nodded his head and gave blessings to the three bosses one by one. Then he stood aside in an open place, took a good posture, and was ready to start singing.
But Boss Meng interrupted her and said: "Stop singing here, go to the stage and act like a few seniors helping you rehearse the show."
Xibao glanced at Boss Meng's side in the audience, but no one shouted to stop, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue speaking her mind.
The Water Sleeves Kung Fu was performed without physical objects, but she didn't take it lightly. She performed a few moves and made the people below feel as if she really had two water sleeves in her hands.
Xibao remained seated and finished reading these words in one breath. Seeing that there was still no movement from below, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue singing: "Servant girl——"
Now that Boss Meng wants to help Xibao, she naturally does her part.
"Sister Xibao is so strong. She has been sitting in the air for so long, and my legs have already gone numb, but she still doesn't change her expression."
But her behavior changed in the eyes of Ai Lingzhi and the others.
Xibao then followed Boss Meng's instructions, stood by the stage, and started walking according to the script.
"Liu Jinding of the slave family, after marrying General Gao, returned to the Southern Tang Dynasty to serve his father. So far, there has been no news. I am just afraid that the emperor and his ministers are in trouble. I intend to lead the troops to rush to the Southern Tang Dynasty to rescue the siege in case of danger, and rush to kill him in battle.
Let his monarch and his ministers return home as soon as possible. This is my idea, and I will report it to my mother."
Then she opened her voice and read: "My son-in-law is going to Nantang to serve, day and night -"
When Boss Meng came to her, he said that there was a child who was very promising and wanted to give her a boost in his retirement performance, hoping that she would come out to help. She agreed without much thought.
"Have you never eaten peanuts? You have to peel them first."
So when they see a good seedling, everyone should help them, just like she helped Boss Meng, Ai Lingzhi, and Li Xiangjun.
Boss Meng then sat next to Boss Mao with his hands on his knees and said with a smile: "Then you can sing two verses first. You don't need to sing more, just sing the part where you make your appearance."
At her age, she has seen a lot of things in the world, and she understands the difficulties of being an actress best.
"Yes, there are no maids on the stage right now. How will the play be performed later?"
But the premise is that Xibao is really worth it.
Xibao looked at Boss Meng, waiting for her opinion.
First, the nine of them strolled towards the center of the stage, then shook and folded their sleeves to make a good appearance, and then added the movements of swinging and folding their sleeves.
As Boss Mao said, he first found a seat and sat down.
When opera first developed, it was clear that the majority were female actors. And until the previous dynasty, female actors could still perform on stage legally.
She originally thought she was here to practice fighting scenes with the four actors, so she was wearing an arrow-sleeved training suit instead of a wetsuit.
She was ready to take the time for the maid to speak before continuing with the next lines.
Nowadays, due to the decree of the imperial court, the male actors are so powerful that they can be divided into different factions, where a hundred flowers bloom and compete for beauty.
She sang so hard that her heart was broken. She turned around and walked towards the back of the stage. Since she was asked to audition temporarily, no props were set up.
Originally, during a serious opera performance, there should be tables and chairs in the middle and back of the stage for Liu Jinding to sit and talk later while describing the plot.
Su Yawang then said "yes" and walked forward in small steps, blocking Boss Meng and the others' view of Xibao. She made small movements with the hands hidden behind her back, signaling Xibao to take the opportunity to adjust his legs to make them looser and faster.
While reading: "I'd like to invite my wife!"
"Hey! How could this person come out without a look and try to steal the show here?"
Xibao glanced at the other three people. Singing on the stage is different from singing down there. Off the stage, you don't have to do any movements and concentrate on testing your singing skills. But on the stage, you have to see the real deal and act seriously.
Ai Lingzhi and Li Xiangjun both looked at Boss Mao. Boss Mao didn't speak, so they looked away and didn't speak.
Xibao Ren is not very good at expressing joy in the play. He only responds with his eyes for a moment and then continues to speak his lines.
"Please come out of the hall, Madam."
The maid should have answered the conversation next, but there was no maid on the stage. But if Xibao spoke immediately, it would have seemed like he was talking to himself, and the sense of balance in the play would have been lost.
She has not appeared on stage for more than ten years.
As she spoke, she grinned at Boss Meng and said in a sinister tone: "You are blocking your little heart, are you really putting yourself in the right role? If this were in my theater troupe, I would have to kick her out.
"
Li Xiangjun also pursed his lips and smiled, and pretended to persuade Ai Lingzhi: "Sister, please stop talking. I think that child has been sitting on the stage for too long. It's really hard for her. It's better to ask them to invite the madam.
Come up here and finish this show."
As she spoke, she covered her mouth and smiled again: "This child is really strong. I'm afraid he won't even be able to move his feet when he stands up, and he won't be able to perform the play."
Boss Mao looked at the two of them out of the corner of his eye and wanted to call it a day and ask Xibao to take a rest. But now Li Xiangjun actually looked down on Xibao. If he gave up now, the two of them would have to continue to look down on her.
