Back to the Republic of China as a director

When Zhou Siyin went back, the book blatantly asked why you were so late, and was sent back to write the manuscript.

When Zhou Siyin sat in the car, he felt his fingers still a little numb, and his brain hadn't fully recovered.He didn't tell Ji Shuangyu his answer, but just repeated one sentence out of question: "I'm not afraid."

Ji Shuangyu was slightly puzzled, and had already been called away by the theater troupe.

Zhou Siyin stood there for a while, feeling that he might have been really scared.I have to drink medicine when I go back.

The next day.

Many theater fans in Beijing sat at home, picked up the latest issue of newspapers, and couldn't help rubbing their eyes.

As we all know, the most topical old drama in Beijing recently is "Lingguan Temple", which has a good reputation, but it is gradually becoming a bit controversial because of the setting.

But there is no dispute about which show is popular, even famous actors will inevitably be attacked by fans of competitors.

Today, it ushered in the first large-scale bad reviews.

Several articles pointed out from various angles: to put it mildly, the boss is stingy and stingy, and he is not willing to give up the set agency.In a big way, "Lingguan Temple" is a kind of retrogression, a kind of error, and it doesn't know innovation!

An insider even broke the news anonymously that the set designer for this play was a part-time actor in Changle Theater.

This layman named Ji Shuangyu turned out to be an orphan working as a coolie on the street. His parents came from a poor family and never went to school or studied in a department.

It's just this kind of person who just designed the set mechanism, but even intervened on the stage, causing Ying Xiaonong and other actors to make trouble on the spot...

Just like this, fans will not be dumbfounded.

The main reason is that in another newspaper, Kunlun Book Company’s best-selling author, Shu Yaoyan, published an essay in which he praised "Lingguan Temple" and called it "the most innovative and beautiful drama I have seen in recent years. It is refreshing", "talks about ghosts and gods but does not worship ghosts and gods, and has an anti-feudal spirit" "uses Western film theory and techniques, and perfectly integrates into the opera stage".

This is nonsense!

Who doesn't know that Shu Yuyan loves to ridicule the fallacy of dramas, this is the first time he has praised a drama so much, the column even exploded the number of words...

This seems to be a mistake. Fans criticized "Lingguan Temple", calling it retrograde and absurd; but the book exaggerated it, saying that the play is very innovative, the plot is smooth, and the thinking is higher than ordinary ghost dramas.

What kind of world is this? How can people who read newspapers not suspect that their posture for getting up today is wrong?

There are a large number of readers of the book, and they scolded the book and said that they have time to watch the play and have no time to write more updates, and at the same time, they also went to learn about the play.

According to the past rules, those aggressive bad reviews directed at Changle Theater could have created a certain amount of momentum, affecting word of mouth and even the box office.

But who told the book to go to the theater, who told him to still stand on the side of "Lingguan Temple"!

These drama critics can't compare to the literary influence of the book's lies, and the character of the book's lies can't be compared to these people-let the book's lies who have been scolding the plot of the old drama come out on the platform, who do you think the audience will trust more?

Here, it is wrong to use the standards of Western dramas to judge "Lingguan Temple"; there, Goldman Sachs praises that "Lingguan Temple" uses superb and novel film techniques.

Moreover, the book's nonsense is justified and well-founded. Although many people have never heard of this montage, there are always well-informed people who can find the information.It hasn't been long since this theory was invented, and there is no movie in China that can master it.

This is not a disagreement, this is a slap in the face.

Say who is rotten?Say who doesn't understand innovation?

Their set designer has never been to school, but isn’t he much more literate and creative than you people who talk about Western theater theories?

Xu Xinyue's mouth was almost crooked, "Montage, montage, right? Although I don't know what it is, it's really a fun thing!"

He hurriedly took advantage of the east wind and asked someone to write a notice on big red paper:

In view of the enthusiasm of the audience, who are constantly asking for tickets, the theater has decided to extend the performance period of "Lingguan Temple" for another five days. You can go to the box office to order!

In this way, "Lingguan Temple" has been performed in Beijing for [-] consecutive days, which is equal to the previous record holder "Lu Yajue Gongming" starring two famous actors!

——If you count the days when the old version was staged, it would have already passed.

Although there are few seats in the Changle Theater, the famous actor performed in the Grand Theater, which is not the same, but it is already very honorable to say it.

Because of the support of the book's rumors, it stirred up public opinion, and there was a long queue outside the box office overnight, waiting for the on-time sale the next day.

Ji Shuangyu was surprised when she saw it, the wind was still blowing, "Boss, are you looking for a babysitter?"

"Nonsense, I didn't!" Xu Xinyue retorted excitedly, how could he insult him like this, insulting "Lingguan Temple", he said loudly, "I didn't know that I could still ask a nurse to line up to create momentum, I learned it!"

Ji Shuangyu: "..."

How should I put it, he actually wanted to praise Xu Xinyue a little bit, and he could still think about flowers!money!Babysitting please.

……

The theater tickets for these five days were quickly sold out again, and the dispute in the newspapers played the biggest advertisement for it.

And because those drama critics broke the news, Ji Shuangyu was put on the stage, and the name seemed to be famous for a while.

Not everyone understands progress and retrogression and artistic ideas, but theater fans know "drilling the pot" and know that there has never been a director on the opera stage.

This is really quite different from the previous actor-centric system.

When the actors in other troupes heard about it, they all complained.There are quite a few conservative forces in the theater world, and the dispute over the set style is still secondary, but the influence of the position of director is too great!

"...Ah, I can't bear to be asked to accept a part-timer and a set designer to direct the play. How to sing in this play has always been figured out by the actors."

"That is, we have worked hard for more than ten years, and we are going to listen to the set designer?"

"That's why Xu Xinyue was desperate, so he hired such a director. This play really hit him."

"Speaking of which, I don't know exactly how Ying Xiaonong was instructed. My master said he went to see it. In the past, Boss Ying was not so comfortable on stage. As soon as he opened his mouth, the audience exploded. This is not a plot. Did you do it?"

"And the Western theory that Mr. Shu Wangyan mentioned was also designed by the director."

"Is that so..."

Could it be that Ying Xiaonong's progress was really guided by the director?

There are different opinions in the Liyuan industry. Even if there are conservatives who are waving the banner, they can't agree on what a director is, whether it is good or bad.

Although Ji Shuangyu is in the center of public opinion.

However, he doesn't have a mobile phone or a computer, and he is not willing to spend money on newspapers, and he doesn't have many friends in the theater industry, so for him, it's all useless.

Even if he knew, he would probably roll his eyes: Don't compete with you old antiques, the box office has the final say.

As a modern person, Ji Shuangyu knows that these remarks cannot be passed down now. When people mention it in future generations, they can at most say that in that era, a certain play won the highest box office.

Right now, Ji Shuangyu is working as a male mother in Xiaogu Hutong...

"Drink more, meat, eggs and milk, you can't lack it!" Ji Shuangyu bought a lot of eggs and milk and came back, learning to cook well, and feeding them to the four children.He also peeled an egg and ate it to add protein.Ji Feifei, eat more and grow taller without turning white.

The gate of the courtyard is open. The structure of their courtyard is rough and there is no screen wall, so people passing by can meet the eyes of the people inside.

Ji Shuangyu was eating eggs, and went out to take out the trash, when she saw Shu Huayan and Zhou Siyin passing by, Shu Huayan was downcast, Zhou Siyin also lowered his head, looking heavy on his mind, neither of them was very energetic.

"Hi! Mr. Zhou!" Ji Shuangyu raised his hand and greeted vaguely.

Earlier in the Changle Theater, he had joked with Zhou Siyin a few times, and the man seemed to have been frightened silly.But not dizzy, but also progress.

Zhou Siyin froze when he heard his voice, and his footsteps sank.

He came to see a doctor with a false claim, this guy has recovered for a few days, and started to yell that he is getting sick again, and he is going to send him an obituary and a notice of suspension...

Zhou Siyin had to gag him this time.

"Hey, Mr. Ji, you actually live here too?" Shu Wangyan said pleasantly, "We are still neighbors that we have never met, and I live right there!"

"Oh, really?" Ji Shuangyu glanced at Zhou Siyin, so it's no wonder Zhou Siyin came to Xiaogu Hutong earlier.

"Since you also live here, before you and..." Shu Huayan seemed to think of something, just about to speak, but was interrupted by Zhou Siyin, "Aren't you dying of illness?"

Why are you excited again?

Shu Huayan quickly changed his weak tone, stroked his chest and said softly, "How did you guys know each other? I always think Brother Baoduo treats you very well, and he treats us very fiercely..."

Zhou Siyin: "..."

Ji Shuangyu: Hehe, of course it's because he has something in my hands!

"You can't say it, just think I met you when I went to the library to borrow books." Ji Shuangyu smiled and said, "You two stay for a drink. I haven't thanked you yet. It turns out that you are a great writer. We speak up, we speak up, or we're on the street."

He also heard about it from a colleague of Xiaoxiang who had read the book and published it in the newspaper, so he knew that Zhou Siyin's friend was a best-selling author.This is also reasonable, Zhou Siyin himself is the publisher.

"I'm just telling the truth." The book said arrogantly, he never bothered to look at favors or take money to write.

"Thank you very much. I will definitely read your book some other day." Ji Shuangyu enthusiastically let them in, poured two cups of hot milk, brother Lei Zi also added fire obediently, and then ran out to play, leaving a place for The brother chats with the guests.

Zhou Siyin took a look around. Compared with his last visit, this place has changed a little.The translucent new window paper reflected the sunlight and shone on the newly pasted light green wallpaper. Although it was only a small change, the whole room looked warmer and brighter.

Ji Shuangyu said: "I heard that Mr. Lian Yan wrote about suspense, and it's a bit scary—Mr. Zhou, can ordinary people fall asleep after reading it?" He turned around and looked at Zhou Siyin.

Zhou Siyin: "..."

Why don't you ask the author himself, or the owner of the bookstore.The book said ignorantly: "It's kind of scary! Especially the latest chapter, I got the inspiration from Xiaogu Hutong, haha, Brother Baoduo, tell me about your impressions after watching it?"

Zhou Siyin said coldly: "I don't know. I didn't read it."

The book blatantly said: "??"

The book said incredulously: "Impossible, why didn't you read it!"

It's fine if Ji Shuangyu didn't read it, he is a bestseller, but maybe people don't like to read novels.But Zhou Siyin is different, he is the owner of Kunlun Bookstore, and he has come to press his manuscript several times!

The book's nonsense has always assumed that Zhou Siyin will read it, and even Zhou Siyin has conveyed to him the editor's words about the plot.

Zhou Siyin really didn't watch it, and the reason was not that he didn't dare... to be interested.But this reason is not humane.

Zhou Siyin thought about it: "...I only read the finished novel."

The book blatantly took two steps back and spit out a mouthful of blood.

God, what a hurtful sentence! !

The book blatantly retreated to the corner to recuperate.

Seeing that Ji Shuangyu was also drinking a cup of hot milk, Zhou Siyin couldn't help asking, "Where are your ancestors from?"

Dairy companies in this period were initially established to meet the needs of foreigners. They introduced disinfection, cold chain and other equipment, and sold condensed milk, fresh milk, and milk powder, and even exported them overseas.

Later, under the influence of advertisements, Chinese people also began to buy dairy products, but the main targets of advertisements were children and women.And there are still some people who believe that milk is not suitable for children to drink.Ji Shuangyu seemed to drink without burden.

He suddenly remembered that Ji Shuangyu used the word "Pujie" just now, and asked suspiciously, "Are you from Guangdong?"

There are also a lot of influences from foreigners.

Ji Shuangyu: "How come, my whole family is old goose Jing'e City goose man goose!"

Zhou Siyin: "..."

"I'm just kidding, hahahaha." Ji Shuangyu skinned a bit, and said happily, "I'm from the capital, isn't this... I read in your bookstore's newspaper that milk is good for your health. I have children at home."

Speaking of the newspaper, Zhou Siyin's heart skipped a beat, and he stared at Ji Shuangyu.

His steps on the road were heavy, which was a difficult problem, but now seeing Ji Shuangyu, he suddenly had an idea...

As for Ji Shuangyu who was being stared at, he didn't respond, he was used to it.

"Do you accept the draft?" Zhou Siyin asked.

"Appointment? I don't know how to write novels." Ji Shuangyu admitted that the director should not be separated, and he can also write scripts, and this time he changed to Lingguan Temple.But writing novels is different.Because the book was lying next to him, he felt that Zhou Siyin wanted to ask him to write a story.

"I'm not talking about novels, I mean words." Zhou Siyin said slowly, "I want to invite you to write a masthead for a new periodical of our bookstore, and the finishing fee is 50 yuan. I have seen your handwriting, it is very unique face."

Ji Shuangyu froze when she drank milk.

As soon as he worked on a play, Xu Xinyue only gave him twenty yuan! !

At this moment, Shu Huayan suddenly came back with a look of horror on his face, "I said that the legend of Xiaogu Hutong is true, did you hear that, a faint voice called brother..."

Zhou Siyin: "..."

Ji Shuangyu: "..."

Ji Feifei: "..."

Ji Shuangyu hugged Ji Feifei, and said slowly: "Mr. Liar, this is my sister, she is calling me."

"Ah! Where did it come from!" Shu Yaoyan was taken aback, and then realized that he was a little thinner, but he was indeed a live child, and he wiped his face in embarrassment.

No, I have to pass on this embarrassment.

"Now I wonder how you guys met. I thought that Brother Baoduo was trying to trick me, but Mr. Qiaoji also lives here. Tell me, did something happen that night when Brother Baoduo came to see me? Baoduo Brother, you won’t encounter any legends about Xiaogu Hutong, don’t you dare tell me?”

As expected of a novelist, with a few random words in the book, he guessed almost exactly.Except that he guessed that even if he said it, he would never have imagined that Zhou Siyin's courage could really be different from what he said.

Zhou Siyin's heart tightened.

At this time, Ji Shuangyu wiped his mouth and said loudly: "I forbid you to say that about Mr. Zhou, he is the bravest person in the world!"

Zhou Siyin: "..."

The book scratched his head in vain: "Oh?"

50 yuan, 50 yuan, food and clothing are guaranteed now, and the living is still very simple. With 50 yuan, I can buy some furniture.

I will never molested Boss Zhou again, what is the difference between this kind of boss and a Bodhisattva.Not only did she not molested, but Ji Shuangyu also took full responsibility: "It's me! I was afraid of the dark and ghosts, and even fell down. Mr. Zhou helped me selflessly!"

Zhou Siyin: "..."

The book nodded wildly: "Oh!"
