Back to the Republic of China as a director

When the train arrived in Shanghai, there were crowds of people on the platform, and everyone got out of the station together after gathering.

Ji Shuangyu probed to find the people who came to pick them up. There should be three groups of people.The Shanghai branch of Kunlun Book Company should come to pick up Zhou Siyin and Shu Huayan, Yu Jianqing's senior brother will come to pick up Chunlei Drama Club, and the boss of Jinque, who is Xu Xinyue's relative of the same clan.

Everyone stared at the sign in the crowd at the exit, looking for key names.

"Hey, is that the one? Welcome Teacher Ji Shuangyu to come to Shanghai." The big apprentice Liuliang pointed to a place with sharp eyes and said.

There were about a dozen people, both men and women, with signs to pick them up in their hands.

Ji Shuangyu: "It should be. Why did you send so many people to respond? Are you afraid that we will bring too many props?" Some relatively portable props and outfits are naturally to be brought.

Liuliang handed Aunt Lulu to Chen Zhongxiang to hug, and walked to the group of people to have a conversation, because there seemed to be young people inside, so he asked, "Ahem, are you all students of Teacher Wei?"

Teacher Wei is Yu Jianqing's brother Wei Kesheng, who also works as a teacher in a college and manages a student drama club.

These people looked at each other with doubts on their faces:

"Do we have a teacher named Wei?"

"no."

"There are schools, but they don't teach us..."

Liu Liang looked confused: "Aren't you here to pick up my master, Teacher Ji Shuangyu, and the students from Chunlei Drama Club?"

"Huh? No! No, no, we are from Mr. Ji," the students hurriedly said, "But we are not sent by that Mr. Wei, we are calligraphy lovers from Shanghai University! According to the newspaper, Mr. Ji I came to Shanghai today, and I came here specially to welcome him."

"You are Teacher Ji's apprentice? Where is he?"

I'll go, it turns out that I'm welcome, it's a shame, Jinque has no fans here.

Ji Shuangyu could also hear it, stepped forward, lifted his hat a little and said, "I said why are there so many people."

The students' eyes lit up obviously.

"Teacher Ji!"

"I finally see you, Teacher Ji."

Ji Shuangyu smiled and said: "Thank you everyone, your name is 'Teacher Ji', I really thought they were all connected to Chunlei Drama Club."

"That's because we are all about to write your copybooks. Everyone in the school has a copybook. To learn your calligraphy, aren't you the teacher we have never met!"

This is really good at talking, Ji Shuangyu smiled and saw how many of them were not students, and asked: "Are these also my 'students'?"

Those people looked at each other, and took a step shyly: "Director Shuang, we are all from the capital. We work or study in Shanghai, and we all joined the Shuang Fan Club. We are here to welcome you. When we met these classmates— —I wish you a successful performance in Shanghai."

Ji Shuangyu: "..."

Good guy, this organization has actually developed to other places...!

Ji Shuangyu had no choice but to say: "Then thank you all, well, you are here, let's all have lunch together at noon."

It's so simple, these students and fans don't know which train they are taking or when the train will arrive. They only read the newspaper that it should arrive today, so they came. They must have waited for a long time.

The people who met the station were all cheering. They thought it would be great if they could talk to Mr. Ji to convey their feelings.

Shu blatantly said that he didn't really like chatting with a bunch of people, he stood a little far away and said with emotion: "Ji Henian is still good at communication."

After all, no one responded, and turned to see Zhou Siyin bowing his head in thought.

What's wrong with this.

"Hey, has the person who picked you up arrived?" Ji Shuangyu came over and asked, "I have a lot of people here, it seems that I have to book a big restaurant."

"Brother Baoduo may be wondering which restaurant is big enough." Shu Yaoyan yawned.

Ji Shuangyu also poked Next Zhou Siyin curiously: "What are you doing?"

Zhou Siyin didn't dare to look at him: "It's nothing."

He hasn't been able to fall asleep since he woke up last night.

I was shocked by myself for most of the night, I opened my eyes until dawn, and I was still in a daze after getting off the train.In the past, no matter how difficult it was, it never caused him to toss and turn and lose sleep.

To Ji Shuangyu——

Could it be that you have a strange thought?

It's really weird, Ji Shuangyu is just... a bit more handsome, but he's also a man.

But why is it like last night.Recently, I have become more and more timid, and sometimes my heart beats violently. Could it be that...

"Hey, hey, why did you get distracted again? Did you not sleep well last night?" Ji Shuangyu asked with concern. He knew that some people don't sleep well, or sleep lightly, and they just can't sleep well on transportation.

As for Ji Shuangyu himself?It was too tiring to take care of the children, so I slept soundly for a night when I didn't think deeply.

Zhou Siyin responded indiscriminately.

It was the first time he had such emotions, he was at a loss, at a loss, confused, and didn't know what to do...

Zhou Siyin glanced at Ji Shuangyu quickly, and couldn't help but sigh, "Oh!"

When he raised his head again, he saw other people, including Ji Shuangyu, all looking over because of his sigh, Zhou Siyin couldn't care less, and said with a heavy heart: "I don't know if I will have time to visit Shanghai Town God's Temple this time."

In this case, he has to burn incense and ask!

Ji Shuangyu: "..."

...when he didn't ask.

……

Ji Shuangyu and his party reconciled with all the people who picked up the station, went to the restaurant, and directly booked a dining room for dinner.

Yu Jianqing's senior brother Wei Kesheng, after meeting Ji Shuangyu, shook hands and said: "I have long admired you! I have long admired Jun Shu, and I also bought copybooks. I don't want to see director Ji's works relayed from the letters of my junior and younger brothers. I really yearn for it and wish I could go there right away. Ask for advice in the capital. Fortunately, Director Ji agreed to come to Shanghai."

Ji Shuangyu said a few words politely.

Wei Kesheng's school drama club still has a small audience in Shanghai, but in the final analysis, their school is also a foreign school, and most of them are educated people.

Therefore, the purpose of Wei Kesheng's admiration is very clear, which is to target Ji Shuangyu's achievements in realism. Of course, he is also interested in what he said is popularization and Chineseization, so he invited them to come.

"It's just a coincidence that Mr. Victor went to see the Beijing Opera, and he said he wanted to see China's local art. Because it's a famous actor's ticket, it's rare to buy a ticket. I'm afraid I won't be able to see it today." Wei Kesheng said regretfully.

Victor is what he said in his letter. The theater experts invited from Occidental University have arrived in Shanghai a few days ago. They naturally entertained him to watch some local art. Unexpectedly, Mr. Victor was quite interested. , I bought another ticket to see it.

"It's okay, let's follow the rules of China, see you on stage!" Ji Shuangyu thought it would be good for everyone to communicate after watching the work, "By the way, I have never been to Shanghai before, and I don't know how our market is going here. You can tell me ?"

"This idiot has done his homework." The boss who invited Jinque is called Xu Xu. Although he is related to Xu Xinyue, he is much more straightforward when talking about business. Ji Shuangyu communicated with him and reached an agreement. Make money back.

Xu Xu opened a movie theater in Shanghai, where operas and movies are performed. Although it is not a first-run movie theater, it is said that he bought an expensive sound projector. It can be seen that he is different from Xu Xinyue and actively keeps up with the trend to make money. .

At this time, Xu Xu took out a stack of newspapers and said with a pleasant smile: "Many news circles in this port have mentioned your visit to Shanghai this time, I think it is very good!"

Yu Jianqing also hurried over and put the newspapers aside for a look.The advertising section of newspapers about various movies can take up a quarter of the page, not including news about these works.

[The rising stars of the capital, the "Golden Sparrow" "Golden Immortal", went to Shanghai to perform. This newspaper reproduced a photo of a beauty. The new play is very impressive! 】

[Jinxian is famous in the capital for its fairy charm, which is a rare product in the world. This time in Shanghai, the audience will be feasting their eyes. 】

All kinds of movies have been advertised the most in newspapers, and the news about them is also the most.Because when going to a theater in Shanghai, the first thing to look at is appearance, the second is to look at the stage, and the third is to look at singing skills, so when mentioning Jinque, most of them are talking about her rare beauty.

The photos of the gorse are still fascinating.

But when it comes to the stage, it is far less advocating than in the capital newspaper, and most of them are understated.Today's communication is convenient and convenient, but it is not as barrier-free as later generations. Most people see local newspapers.

The name of a famous actor can spread to Shanghai, but he hasn't come here to go through the rivers and lakes, and the publicity and understanding are still not as good as those in the capital.

In the capital, no one dared to say that the Shanghai scene is unparalleled in the world.

But in Shanghai, they will still be questioned——

[Also, Ji Shuangyu, a famous calligrapher, will be the director, and will bring the so-called freehand style stage. It is said that he has set a performance record in the capital, and he has performed for more than a month. You may watch it. 】

[Ji Shuangyu defeated Jiang Sihai, the set artist of the Fujian gang in the capital, and was regarded as the leader of the line in Beijing for a while, and he seems to have ambitions here.It's a pity that Jiang Sihai is not the number one figure in the Fujian gang, and there are several masters in the set circle. Can the so-called freehand style achieve success in Shanghai? 】

[The stage is said to be a new style of the Beijing School, which is conservative and freehand. I don't know if it will affect the effect of Jinque's performance. 】

Because of the release of copybooks, almost every student has a copybook, and Ji Shuangyu has become famous as a calligrapher.However, the Shanghai press seemed to be skeptical of his stage design.

——There are also good words, if you look carefully, they are basically related to Kunlun Bookstore.

Drama is the deepest art that needs to be seen with one's own eyes.

The reporters and editors in Shanghai saw the bragging of their counterparts in Beijing, but they still couldn't immediately recognize it under the circumstances that it was hard to imagine the real situation. They themselves usually used exaggeration.

What's more, this is still Jiang Sihai's base camp, can they see Ji Shuangyu pleasing to their eyes?

Furthermore, the preferences of the audiences on both sides are not the same.

How many famous actors from the capital city have come to Shanghai is not a halberd, this place is not so easy to conquer!

There are also a few who mentioned Chunlei Drama Club, but their interest is higher, because they are invited by the universities here to perform, and it is said that they are more innovative and realistic - this is more in line with the usual aesthetics of Shanghai, which makes people curious. How else can we innovate.

Although Yu Jianqing is a new playmaker, he has long regarded Ji Shuangyu as his own, and he has watched it himself. The Beijing opera arranged by director Ji is also excellent and groundbreaking.

"This is so wonderful! Some reporters, without seeing the facts, make wild guesses. Conservative is conservative, freehand is freehand!" Yu Jianqing complained for Ji Shuangyu, and looked at Xu Xu dissatisfied.

This is the case in the commercial drama industry, regardless of whether it is a new drama or an old drama, business is the first. It is good if it can also be artistic, but you must choose, and of course choose to make money.

"Hahahaha, Teacher Yu misunderstood, I don't mean that." Xu Xu laughed.

Ji Shuangyu also said: "I agree, I also think it's great."

With Yu Jianqing's puzzled eyes, Xu Xu said: "I don't mean that they speak very well. Even if there is some misunderstanding, but you see, so many news, no matter whether they are praised or neutral, but rarely belittled, they are all concerned. Ms. Canary’s performance, it will save a lot of effort for us to promote it. As long as people can enter the theater, it depends on our ability.”

Only then did Yu Jianqing know why they said it was excellent. What they looked at was the degree of attention. Anyway, word-of-mouth can tell the difference after the show.

Ji Shuangyu nodded, "Well, the origin of dramas in Shanghai is the place for the whole of China to emulate. We can't count on the reporters here to help us tout it without saying a word. It is certain that we don't understand and have doubts. It’s great that we performed continuously for more than a month in the capital, but I heard that the popular dramas in Shanghai can perform continuously for several months.”

Although Wei Kesheng is not interested, but he understands people and the world, of course he has to follow suit and say a few good words: "Since the two dramas are both produced by Mr. Ji, they must not be different, and Shanghai audiences have always been very aesthetic."

"Hahahaha, it's great, and our opening story is excellent. With Ms. Jinque's ability, I don't think the box office will be bad." After Xu Xu saw himself, he had more and more confidence in them, thinking in his heart, what's the matter? , you have to act continuously for a month, right?

It's your first time, think conservatively!

Furthermore, when famous actors in the capital go to Shanghai, they often visit the wharf and invite people from the newspaper and ticket circles to dinner, so they will try their best to promote it.But Jinque didn't, at least not yet. These newspapers only collected news before she came.

Thinking of this, Xu Xu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Speaking of which, there are very few famous actors in this news scene. Don't blame me for speaking directly. If I didn't know that when Ms. Jinque didn't perform, I would study behind closed doors, and it was me who never got off the train. Received from the hotel... I almost thought that when you and the celebrities in the local news circle made friends!"

Ji Shuangyu: "..."

Zhou Siyin: "..."

other people:"……"

The one in this shot was picked up by fans today, but it wasn't Jinque, but Ji Shuangyu's.

It is true that there are people who make friends with big men in the news industry, and it is not Jinque, or Ji Shuangyu...

……

After the gathering, everyone checked into the hotel. Most of them were visiting Shanghai for the first time, but Yu Jianqing was not, so someone begged him to take him for a stroll.If I don't go today, I will start rehearsing for the performance in a few days tomorrow, I'm afraid I don't have time.

Yu Jianqing also invited Ji Shuangyu to go, "Director Ji, let me show you the night view of the Bund! Mr. Qiu is also going to see it."

Just as Ji Shuangyu was about to refuse, she asked doubtfully, "Who is Mr. Qiu?"

The book three or five steps away said nonsense: "??? It's me, friend!"

Ji Shuangyu: "..."

Ji Shuangyu: "I'm sorry, I always thought your surname was Shu. Is your name Qiu Shuren?"

"Treat man? Just be a human being!" Shu blatantly rolled his eyes, "My name is Qiu Junsheng! Are you going or not?"

"Thank you, I won't watch it." Ji Shuangyu leaned on the pillar in the hotel lobby and said, tired from the journey, he didn't really want to see any night scenes, and it's not like he hasn't seen it... It's interesting to chat with Zhou Lingdang in the hotel too much.

After the two left, Ji Shuangyu didn't even look at Zhou Siyin who was standing beside her, and said, "No talking, no guessing."

He noticed Zhou Siyin's gaze, and he felt that this friend was going to be superstitious again!

Now there is no need to pretend in front of Zhou Siyin, but it is still very helpless.

Zhou Siyin hesitated to speak, he just looked at Ji Shuangyu, not thinking about superstition, but...

Just look.

Ji Shuangyu thought of something, and took out two tickets from his pocket: "After the rehearsal tomorrow, let's go to the movies. This is said to be a Western movie with a very good box office recently."

Zhou Siyin: "...!"

The heart was beating fast again.

What does this mean, two tickets, watching a movie alone?

Nowadays, when young people date, they like to go to the movies.

Ji Shuangyu, could it be...

What the hell does he mean? ?

Zhou Siyin raised his hand in a daze to take the movie ticket, only to hear Ji Shuangyu say: "I hinted that Boss Xu gave it to them, and went to their theater to watch the movie. You invite me on weekdays, but today I invite you."

Honestly, I've been wanting to see it for a long time!

He is a film director by profession, and now he has obtained positions in operas and dramas, and his life is much easier, but he is also eager to move on to movies, and he plans to observe the current movies.

However, he deliberately left a stalk, and he didn't hear Zhou Siyin complaining that the tickets he sent were not invited by Ji Shuangyu.

Zhou Siyin didn't bother to complain, he was still immersed in thinking, recalling every detail of Ji Shuangyu's words, wishing to analyze every word.

During the long exam, the driver sent by the branch came in quickly and told him in a low voice that someone in the branch wanted to invite him to have fun, and by the way, talk about another important matter mentioned in his previous letter.

"Didn't I say that we're leaving today, see you in the office tomorrow?" Zhou Siyin said coldly.

The driver smiled awkwardly: "This...he...we thought you were interested, and in fact, cared about the new department you mentioned..."

"No, no, go back!" Zhou Siyin dismissed people casually, shaking his head speechlessly.

Ji Shuangyu laughed and said, "You can't blame them either. This is one of the three major illusions in life: the leader appreciates me."

This Ji Henian is really narrow!

Zhou Siyin also regained his senses and regained his energy, "These three major illusions in life again? Speaking of which, when you were in the capital, you also said one: other people's tools are easier to use. Then I have heard these three major illusions twice." That's it, what's the other one?"

Ji Shuangyu: "There is another one that is the funniest, he (she) must like me, hahahahahahaha!"

Zhou Siyin: "..."
