Farmer's Favorite

Shi Yu immediately lost his appetite, and his eyes did not fall on the table.

Instead, he turned his head to the side, and through the gap by the door, he could just see the two talking outside.

He said lightly: "I haven't said anything about my family background yet. My surname is Shi. I am the young head of Shiyuan in Shangjing. A family famous for its actors. When I was young and ignorant, I came to Genshan Town regardless of my family's dissuasion. I wanted to find some good seedlings to bring back to the clan, but I didn’t want to get caught up in it myself, so you know what happened next.”

As he spoke, with a trace of bitterness on his face, he said: "Shi Yuan is very famous in Shangjing, even the harem is hand-picked by Shi Yuan to come to sing operas. With this name, the scenery is boundless. But, again A lot of fame can't hide the background of an actor. In the eyes of the rich and powerful, we are inferior after all. But Chang Zian is different. Others are simply human in his heart. There is no distinction between high and low, no distinction between high and low. I naturally understand it, but I can't accept it, just because of his status... I can't afford it."

Zhuang Xinyan raised his eyebrows, he really couldn't understand why Shi Yu said these words in front of him.

It was just the first time the two met, and it was not even possible to talk about getting acquainted with each other, and these words came from the heart, but they should not be said to him.

Zhuang Xinyan supported his chin with one hand. He was not interested in being a relationship consultant, so he said, "You are the young owner of the theater, so you should have some skills?"

Shi Yu came back to his senses, with a little panic on his face. He didn't understand why he said what was on his mind in front of this person, so he quickly covered it up: "Of course."

Zhuang Xinyan became interested, and he continued to ask: "Are you interested in the script?"

"The story book?" Shi Yu returned the love and supernatural story book that was circulated in the street at that time, and he said: "I have read some travel notes."

Zhuang Xinyan immediately rolled his eyes and said, "A script adapted into a song."

"Of course I'm interested. When I go out of Beijing this time, I also plan to visit some small places to see if there are any suitable pieces to bring back to Beijing." Shi Yu didn't hide it. To stand out, a good track is the top priority.

However, the chances of encountering a good repertoire are very small, at least he has been away from Beijing for more than two months, and apart from finding two or three children with good singing voices, he really has not encountered a suitable repertoire.

At this time, Zhuang Xinyan yelled and called Xiao Er to come over with a pen and paper.

On the dinner table, he immersed himself in writing some paragraphs, and after a while, he handed over the rice paper and said, "Look."

When Zhuang Xinyan wrote it, Shi Yu guessed something, but he didn't hold out hope. After all, he traveled to so many places and visited many famous artists. So far, he hasn't caught a good repertoire. What's more, Zhuang Xinyan Xin Yan couldn't describe how he felt, but he was dressed like a country boy, and even though he could read, the handwriting was a little... indescribable.

but.

After holding the rice paper in his hand, he really couldn't put it down.

The above is only a short description of a few scenes, but you can see the lingering and touching inside.

"What's next?" Shi Yu was a little anxious, the content on the rice paper just ended at a wonderful moment, which made him a little itchy.

Zhuang Xinyan tapped on the table with a very polite smile on his face: "Next, it's time to talk about the price."

if not?Is it possible to give it to this person for nothing?Zhuang Xinyan is not so generous, not to mention that the first impression this person gave him was that he was not happy, if it wasn't because he blocked Lin Qi a lot of trouble back then, and he was just right, he wouldn't take these things track.

Naturally, he would not be polite if the price could be as high as it could be.

Shi Yu lowered his head and thought for a while, then he said, "If the story below is good, I'll offer 500 taels."

The price is neither high nor low. Although he thinks it is good, he still has to go on stage to know the effect. If the world likes it, it will naturally bring them profits, but if the response is not good, the loss will be more than the 500 taels. Waste their time with the pillars.

One of the reasons why other theaters are not as good as them is that they got the repertoire and sang on stage in less than half a month. From the eyes of the world, they only saw the surface without any depth at all.

But Shi Yuan is different. It takes at least half a year to get in tune with a piece of music. There are also some other changes, which are added up in one piece. It may take a year to delay before performing on stage.

And the best age of a pillar is around fifteen to twenty years old. There are only a few years of prosperity in a lifetime, and a year of delay has not been rewarded. For them, they cannot be exchanged for money.

Zhuang Xinyan thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "I want to share."

500 taels is a lot for him at this stage.

But on the contrary, he is not short of money at this stage, or in other words, he is not worried about having nowhere to make money.

That being the case, simply put a long line to catch big fish.

He continued: "One tenth of the profit within five years, if you agree, I will provide you with two tracks every year in exchange for the same conditions."

Shi Yu sighed slightly, "Can you make other songs?"

Zhuang Xinyan shrugged his shoulders, and said with a slight smile, "Who knows, maybe it will happen or not, it depends on whether you dare to bet."

Shi Yu suddenly laughed out loud, he was really willing to gamble, no matter whether he could have a good song in the future, but the one he was holding in his hand was indeed real and no fakes were allowed.

To be honest, one tenth of the profit within five years is much more than 500 taels.

Even, if he complied, some people would be dissatisfied when he returned to the clan.

However, no matter how dissatisfied he is, no one will break the contract as the young master. This is his right as the young master, but it is also his duty.

If the song is not good, even for Lin Qi's sake, he won't agree to it.

But now, he still has to thank Lin Qi, otherwise how could he meet him.

Shi Yu didn't respond right away, but said, "Give me the complete repertoire. If it's suitable, I'll agree to your request. If not, I'll give you 500 taels as usual."

Zhuang Xinyan glanced at him, and instead of writing, he spoke eloquently.

A story about a farmer who herds cattle and a fairy - "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl"

Zhuang Xinyan spoke in a soft and slow voice, but Shi Yu was fascinated by it.

While talking, Zhuang Xinyan couldn't help thinking about the past.

If he is asked to name the plots in movies and TV shows, he may not be able to name one or two of them.

But opera is different, he can say a lot, and even the dialogue plots of some operas can be completely told without any mistakes.

All of this comes down to life when I was young.

In a palm-sized room, the skinny children don’t have any toys. The only thing they have is the old-fashioned TV that can only play drama channels. There is no one at home for a long time, and the children can only turn up the volume to the maximum to cover up the panic in their hearts. .

So, day after day.

These dramas often accompany him and are deeply imprinted in his heart, but they are extremely disgusting to children.

The two things Zhuang Xinyan hated most in the past were cooking and drama.

And from the moment he met Lin Qi, he found that, unknowingly, these two disgusting things didn't seem to bring him any feelings, and he was even used to making some soup and cooking for Lin Qi now.

At this time, until the end of the sound, Shi Yu suddenly stood up and clapped his hands. He was sure that the biggest gain of his trip to the south was here, "Okay! It's really great! I agree to all your conditions."

Before Zhuang Xinyan responded, Chang Zian poked his head in and asked, "What are you doing? There's such a big commotion."

While speaking, his small eyes cast a vigorous glance at Zhuang Xinyan. He just heard that this big man has hunted big bugs. If he gets angry and tries to beat Shi Yu, he will definitely not be able to stop him.

"I found a good song." Shi Yu said very happily.

"Really? That's great." Chang Zian was also happy for him, but when he was talking, he secretly pulled Shi Yu's sleeves to keep him away.

"We can sign the contract now. After I visit Shiyou in a few days, I will go to your place and discuss some details." Shi Yu's smile still did not fade. Apart from visiting Shiyou, he actually still wants to Let's deal with Chang Zi'an's affairs.

He followed all the way so far, and the people in the Chang family didn't know how anxious they were.

Moreover, some things are really time to make a decision.

Afterwards, Shi Yu signed the contract with Zhuang Xinyan, and left with Chang Zian.

Lin Qi felt a little regretful at this time. He said, "I'm familiar with Zi'an, but I think he's quite interesting. He also made an appointment with me to hunt wild boars in the mountains."

As he spoke, he also laughed.

Chang Zian saw that he was the kind of child with an extraordinary family background, but he felt that being able to hunt wild boars was a great feat, which made him make up his mind to hunt one himself.

Zhuang Xin stretched his hand over, put his hand on his shoulder, gently squeezed his earlobe, and said, "You can accompany me if you like, and I will take you up the mountain together when the time comes."

Lin Qi felt a little itchy, and shrank his neck, "Take the chopsticks in your hand, there are so many meals left, let's eat more."

Zhuang Xinyan put down his hands, he was not hungry anymore, but it felt good to eat and talk with Lin Qi.
