Back to the Republic of China as a director

Ji Shuangyu first went to cancel the doctor's appointment, and then went to the pharmacy to get the medicine. Fortunately, he had nothing to do in the morning, and the theater usually started after ten o'clock in the morning.These days, because of the performance of "Lingguan Temple", the Changle Theater always opens in the afternoon.

After buying the medicine, Ji Shuangyu went to the shop on the same street and bought ready-to-wear cotton clothes and new shoes for each child.Because the fifth younger brother was too young, he always hugged him in his arms.They all walked to the place where the clothes were sold, only to realize it later, and looked around: "Hey, isn't the third sister here?"

The third sister came out a step late, he didn't realize it at all, and left.

After all, the third younger sister is usually elusive, thin and black, and when he didn't bow his head, he thought she was there...

Fortunately, the third sister and the second brother are about the same size, so it is enough to ask the second brother to try it out, and the price they bought is not too fancy.

To say that when Ji Shuangyu was a child, he may have had a good life for a few days, and his younger brothers and sisters really didn't wear new clothes at all.

Either the adult's clothes are changed to be smaller, or they go to the flea market to buy second-hand clothes.

The second brother stuttered, only to find out that the elder brother planned to buy one for them each.

He thinks that his brother is too extravagant and wasteful, and there is almost a month before the Chinese New Year... No, even if it is Chinese New Year, he shouldn’t buy new clothes. The family is so difficult, "Brother, let's just buy some cotton!"

Stuff the old clothes, if not, it costs three or four cents a catty of new cotton, which is more cost-effective than buying new cotton clothes directly.

"Money is a bastard, you can earn money after spending it, what the hell is Xu Xinyue's money..." Ji Shuangyu wrapped up his second brother heavily and buttoned it up.

Food, clothing, housing, and transportation, clothes are still in front of eating, and they can’t do without warm clothes.He has the time to sew cotton, and it would be better to use it to make more money.What's more, from a parallel universe, he doesn't have the skills to sew clothes at all, wouldn't it be exposed if he processed them himself?

The second brother sniffed his nose. He had never been so warm in the winter in the capital. His purple cheeks showed a sincere smile to Ji Shuangyu.

……

"This is my business card." Zhou Siyin mused.

It was almost noon after the decoction came back, and after eating a bowl of medicine, Zhou Siyin felt much better.I don't know whether he is dialectically accurate enough - frightened, or there are more psychological factors in the first place.

Before leaving, he left a business card for Ji Shuangyu, even though he was here... it must be considered a fall!However, Ji Shuangyu's pen writing made him feel a little friendlier, "You can come to me if you have anything to do, but you can't say—"

"I know, I can't say that you passed out because of my scare!" Ji Shuangyu said.

"Who was fainted by you?" Zhou Siyin snatched back the business card, and walked towards the door cursingly, carefully bypassing Sanmei on the way, "I'm leaving!!"

He has a big temper!

Seeing his menacing figure, Ji Shuangyu smiled speechlessly.

As soon as Zhou Siyin walked to the door, several voices came from outside the yard: "Which room does Shu Lianyan live in? What did the general manager say last night?"

I saw Zhou Siyin dodge very quickly, backed up and stood close to the door.

A few people outside the door passed by in a hurry, took a look here, and even exchanged a look with Ji Shuangyu.Hey, it's not Mr. Shu Zhuanyan, but it's pretty good, so slow down and take a few more glances.

Across the wall, Zhou Siyin stood holding his breath, and also looked at Ji Shuangyu.

Zhou Siyin: "..."

Ji Shuangyu: "..."

Zhou Siyin: "..."

Two minutes later, Zhou Siyin said with a dark face, "I'm leaving!"

Ji Shuangyu: "Oh, are you leaving again?"

Zhou Siyin: "..."

After Zhou Siyin left, Ji Shuangyu clapped her hands and steamed some steamed buns for the children for dinner.

The neighbors were quite envious when they saw it. They earned some money. They all ate white flour steamed buns. They lived in the same yard, and the situation of each family could not be hidden from each other.But everyone knows how miserable and poor their family is, so those who are envious and happy for them are all good intentions.

While Ji Shuangyu was tidying up, the second younger brother ran over, touched his new clothes, and said happily, "Brother, this cloth is ready. In summer, take off our outer cloth and make you a summer shirt. One piece is enough Do one set, we're all the same color."

Originally, their winter clothes and summer clothes were all torn apart. Whose clothes were going to be washed, there was no replacement, and they had to wear family members' clothes for the time being. The average person had 1.2 pieces of clothes.Ji Shuangyu's set of flannel pajamas instantly allowed them to greatly increase the per capita ownership rate.

Ji Shuangyu felt sad when he heard that, no wonder the second brother and the others all chose the same blue color when choosing clothes.Since he was a child, he had never seen such a miserable situation with his own eyes.And in his world, time and space and policies are different, and there are no brothers and sisters in his family.

It is really difficult to take care of children these days.

He works part-time during the day, and when he comes back at night, he really can't wait to see them. The upbringing is all out of patience, and he still wants to travel back as soon as he wakes up, thinking that it would be fine if it was just a dream.

Now seeing them excited and uneasy because of a piece of clothing, laughing like this made Ji Shuangyu's "dream" a lot clearer.

Things that had been neglected intentionally or unintentionally before also surfaced. The second brother is not only a "second brother", but also has his own name, his name is Ji Leizong, and the third sister of the invisible baby is called Ji Feifei.The fourth sister, Lulu, and the fifth brother, Haizi, were only given nicknames when their parents died because they were too young.

"It's okay, Brother Lei Zi, you will have new clothes in summer." Ji Shuangyu patted Ji Leizong's head and said.

God of physics, please continue to bless him to wear it back, but before that, he is willing to save more money for these children.

Now, Ji Shuangyu went out to go to work.

When he walked to the door, Ji Shuangyu found a piece of paper stuck on the door bolt. When he twisted it up, he saw that it was a business card with exquisite and concise printing, and in the middle was a line of words: Zhou Siyin of Kunlun Bookstore.

Hey, he has heard of this name before, and even went to the Kunlun Library to read the materials.

So that person is Zhou Siyin from Kunlun Book Company?

Thinking of the character of Mr. Zhou in the rumors and what he saw today... the details are a bit different, Ji Shuangyu laughed and put away the business card.

"Go to work and earn Xu Xinyue's money." Ji Shuangyu walked into the theater all the way, just bumping into Xu Xinyue herself.

"Come here! Come here quickly!" Xu Xinyue grabbed Ji Shuangyu and said angrily, "How can you be more comfortable with the scenery, let me continue to change it!"

Ji Shuangyu was confused: "What are you doing, Mr. Xu?"

Xu Xinyue said angrily: "I went to the Liyuan Public Welfare Association today to discuss the matter of setting up a table show at the end of this year, see which theater will perform it, and who will be called to perform it, and the result..."

The Liyuan Public Welfare Association was the industry guild at this time.At the end of the year, everyone will generally organize some charity performances to help those poor colleagues. This is called a table show.

Thinking of what happened at the meeting, Xu Xinyue was still a little angry.

There are a few sour chickens. Seeing that his box office has been hot these days, and the tickets for the three days are sold out, today's tickets are opened again. Seeing that he can perform for a few more days, the theater business has been revived, and he has been accepted by several well-known theaters. Critics and fanciers praised it, and I don't know how jealous they are.

They said a few sour words, but what was said inside and outside the words, this freehand style is not as good as the Western realistic painting style, the audience is temporarily instigated by the newspaper (maybe they paid someone to write a review of the advertisement).

And it's a step backward, back to the old school, decadent, let Xu Xinyue not be fooled by a set designer who doesn't know where, and quickly return to the right way.

This kind of talk started when "Lingguan Temple" was first released, and now the opposition has become louder. It's not because "Lingguan Temple" has soared at the box office and its influence is getting bigger and bigger. There are even troupes wanting to follow suit.

It attracted more attention, and there were more eyes.In front of Xu Xinyue, he also accused him.

"That's it." After hearing this, Ji Shuangyu was not particularly excited.

In fact, it's easy to understand. Some people may be really brainless in their pursuit of Western sets, and there are many such people everywhere.

But there are still some people who probably understand it in their hearts, but they can't see "Lingguan Temple" becoming popular, otherwise they will put their own Western sets and let them depreciate.The money hasn't come back yet, so it's natural to help blow up the Western sets and flaunt their own style.

Either way, it's nothing new.

If it weren't for Ying Xiaonong's colorful face instead of a bloody celebrity, there would probably be a lot of quarrels among the fans, just like modern fans praise their own and opponent's works for idols.

"I think ours is very good! Didn't you see how those newspapers praised us? Who said that progress must be done in a Western style, and a foreigner is his father?" Xu Xinyue didn't think much about it at all, and she was not very high I even doubted whether this set could be popular before.

Now that I am angry, I just want to fight for my breath without steaming the steamed buns, but it is very good to start taking one bite at a time.

"I want to play this play for a few more days and continue to revise it. You go and make this play more satisfactory!"

Ji Shuangyu: "..."

Ji Shuangyu: "Calm down, the people think it looks good, who are they. But this one, make it more comfortable..." How the hell can you change it to be more comfortable, and you don't even give money. It's already like this Ji Shuangyu became frugal.

However, this is an opportunity.

Ji Shuangyu's heart moved, and he put on an expression designed to seduce investors: "Hey, in fact, the purpose of the host is to perform for a few more days. In this way, as long as you give me the right to direct, we can change in this direction."

In the future, when Xu Xinyue saw this expression, she would reflexively feel pain.

At this time, Xu Xinyue was still relatively naive. He thought, yes, on the one hand, those people are worshiping foreigners, and on the other hand, they are more jealous, so no matter how they are changed, as long as the box office becomes popular!

"Okay, I'll guide you!" Xu Xinyue said firmly.

Ji Shuangyu secretly rejoiced, he could be said to be able to follow the order, and he had actually already gone through the plot secretly in his heart.

Good guy, according to the current timeline, there has never been a "director" in the Chinese opera world.He is considered to be the first director in the theater world!

……

As soon as Xu Xinyue announced the news internally, the entire Hanxi class fell silent.

The corner of the head teacher's mouth twitched and said, "Are you out of your mind? Can you copy everything, director?" He held back his breath and didn't say anything harsh.

That's right, Ji Shuangyu's set brought them back to life, but director and rehearsal are the same thing.

Xu Xinyue had rejected Ji Shuangyu twice before. The reason was that there had never been a director in the theater industry. If she really wanted to rehearse a play, she would still be pointed at. Everyone pays attention to seeing each other on stage, and it is embarrassing to "get into the pot".

Temporary learning of drama, that is, making trouble, is usually for actors who save the scene to learn temporarily, or to catch up with roles that they don't know.If it happens more often, it means that you are not good enough, you know few plays, and your skills are not good enough.

Another example is Ying Xiaonong, he turned the play over and asked him to rehearse the play again, can he keep his face?

Xu Xinyue also felt a little regretful at this time. He was capricious and aggressive just now, but now he was hesitant when he was told by the class leader. Usually he can't care about such technical matters, "Uh, well... ..."

Ji Shuangyu saw that it was not good, and immediately said: "I don't think there are any actors in our class who have deep friendship with literati, especially those who can write plays. I can actually write and direct. I have already thought about how to change the plot!"

Nowadays, there are no professional screenwriters, but literati are supporting roles, and there are tailor-made scripts.

But the Hanxi class was not particularly popular before, and Ying Xiaonong was even more outdated, and nowadays the supporting roles are all about Danjiao and Kunling. They really don't have much ability to adapt and create.

When Ji Shuangyu said this, they looked at each other and hesitated.

However, the plot can be changed, this rehearsal...

Does the director have to be bundled?

Ying Xiaonong admired Ji Shuangyu very much, and it can even be said that he became popular this time because of his strength.It is also the biggest actor in the theater at present, and everyone else looks at Ying Xiaonong first, waiting for him to speak first.

Ying Xiaonong looked at Ji Shuangyu with deep eyebrows: "People, you can't do this. Everyone has their own duties. If you look good, you should do your own duties well."

Everyone: "..."

Ji Shuangyu: "Thank you...?"

Ying Xiaonong said euphemistically: "Actually, I support you to sort out the plot. Many famous actors in the company have changed their plays, otherwise they will not be able to keep up with the times. But directing plays, you can direct other people's plays. I am here for you. Don't worry, we will definitely fulfill your request on stage, and you can rest assured about my performance."

——Are you kidding? If you say it, he will guide you, where will you put your face.It's fine if he's a famous teacher and actor in the same industry, but he's still such a brat, a layman.

Who doesn't know that Ji Shuangyu's previous relationship with their industry is that he came to play tricks and play the soul, without opening his mouth.

He made such a tact, and the other actors didn't dare to refuse directly. After all, Ji Shuangyu's position as a set designer is still very stable, so he could only say aggrievedly: "Just let us go, I really don't need you to talk about the play!"

It seems to be bullied, which is really dumbfounding.

Ji Shuangyu said loudly: "I have to force it!!"

Everyone: "..."

How can there be such a stubborn person? ?They are almost writing their twisted melons not sweet on their faces.

Ji Shuangyu said to one of the supporting roles: "Just now I heard you hang your throat and sing the phrase 'Jingui hears the cicada, it's a good feeling, and the autumn air is unbearable'. Do you know the meaning of this sentence?"

Danjiao looked bewildered, "...I don't know."

She couldn't read, so how could she know what it meant.

At this moment, only in the major classes, those promising actors have the opportunity to take cultural lessons, so that they can understand the opera and practice calligraphy.

But she didn't come from a well-known major, even if she was an actor who took a cultural class, she might not have mastered many allusions.Only those top famous actors have high cultural qualities, or, in other words, conversely, with cultural qualities, they have a better chance of becoming first-class actors in the end.

Ji Shuangyu grew taller and taller, and said proudly: "Because the word is wrong, it should be 醢醢, not 醢醢. 醢 means meat sauce, and 醢 means throwing away all the meat sauce. This is the literal meaning." , is actually expressing grief to the point of not eating. So this whole sentence is very sad. When singing, shouldn’t it be more sad, and the accent is more tortuous. sound."

In the end, he was already looking down on all living beings, and the eyes he looked at them had extra aura.

Everyone looked up at him, feeling afraid to look directly at the brilliance, and raised their hands to cover their eyes.

"Ah!" But Ying Xiaonong cried out.

After a while, Ying Xiaonong realized that she had lost her composure, coughed, rubbed her eyes and said, "I didn't expect you to know how to act."

"Of course, otherwise, how dare I say I'm a director?" Ji Shuangyu jumped off the stool, and everyone was able to look away. Damn, the light on him is really blinding people's eyes...

Good guy, arrange lighting effects for yourself after speaking.

The playbooks were handed down word of mouth by illiterate artists, and this time the word "醢" was falsely spread.There are many similar situations in many dramas. Although it is a bit embarrassing, Ying Xiaonong is not surprised by this.

In just a few words, some actors with insufficient comprehension and cultural level may not be able to penetrate it in their lifetime.If the dan role played according to Ji Shuangyu's words, it would definitely win a lot of applause.

If it is really done, it is called "Qiaotou" in jargon, and it is usually a skill that only famous actors have.It refers to their unique handling of performances. It may be just a detail, but it can receive excellent effects and sublimate the entire performance.

And these words also reveal that Ji Shuangyu also has an understanding of singing, and she is definitely not a layman!

——Although Ji Shuangyu is not a master of Chinese opera, he has come into contact with, understood, and been influenced by the elders of Liyuan Xing in his family, and he understands that all the operas he learned were refined and refined decades later.

Many wrong lines have been corrected, and the most suitable performance method has also been found out, and some skills that were kept secret at this time will also be carried forward in the future.

Coupled with his basic qualities as a director, if he still doesn't understand this point, can he direct the play with the cheek?

Ji Shuangyu looked at Ying Xiaonong: "Boss Ying, look now, can we rehearse the play?"

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. He is first-rate in martial arts, but his literature and drama are not good enough.This part is not easy to make up, either the actors are very talented, or they have to be guided by a master without hiding their secrets, right?

Who doesn't keep their hands these days, that's why some actors still steal plays, so they learn plays in private without telling the master.

At this time, Ying Xiaonong keenly noticed that Ji Shuangyu, this young man, although he is not a famous actor, and he doesn't know where his skills come from, he is still willing to give him all he has... So this series of dramas has only one benefit but only one harm. This is a great opportunity for him to make further progress.

The only harm is being chewed and chewed, Ying Xiaonong said anxiously: "Chew, just chew!"

Ji Shuangyu: "Huh?"

Ying Xiaonong: "Hey, if I say row, I will row..."
