far and near

Uno took the outfit that the master gave her to the performance site - a performance stage was set up outside the plaza of a five-story shopping mall, and the performers did not have a dressing room, so they crowded in the temporary dressing room made by the property management company's conference room to take care of themselves Self makeup.The temperature outside was only ten degrees, and some girls in skirts or backless outfits put on heavy makeup and put on down jackets, timidly shrinking their necks and waiting for the show three times in advance.When I arrived, I took off my down jacket, and a smile appeared on my face.

Usheng and his partner Mianjie, who are dressed in scholarly clothes, are much better. They are not afraid of the cold in thick clothes.But Uno has a thin skin, unlike being on stage in a theater, this kind of "wild scene" has a mixed audience, and there are no real opera audiences who know how to do it.The actors sang on the top, and half of the audience may be noisy below: children cry, adults make noise, and mobile phones ring one after another.If there is an accident with poor quality audio, it will stop and go.What Uo was worried about was that he would be affected by the audience.

Sister Mian had a dignified makeup on her face, and with her Henan dialect down her throat, she said Yuebai, "Xiaobai, do you know where we have an advantage over others? It's this makeup." Ms. Mian means that if we wear this skin, who will know who?As soon as the heart is crossed, I will go through the motions and finish singing my own song.You don't care about the noise down here, and the RMB will be in your pocket at night.

When Uogi thought about it, it was true, and after a little rest, he was ready to go on stage.As a result, the last performance was over, and Uo, who was about to board on the left side of the stage, was stopped by the staff, "Excuse me, wait a minute, let's insert a lottery."

Uno and the others can only continue to wait below. There is a temporary rest area behind the stage. Sun Tian, ​​who is wearing a sleeveless, backless and big purple skirt, is squatting there drinking hot and sour egg soup, holding a bowl with indescribable concentration cute.Sister Mian also saw it, and said "tsk", and the hometown voice couldn't help revealing, "If it weren't for this outfit, I would go and drink a pill." Ask the audience if the stage is exciting or not?

There were one or two voices from the dark crowd below, "Wonderful." There were also brats booing, "Not wonderful."

The host came up with a bunch of catchphrases before revealing the main point, "Our stage performance is sponsored by Longxi Emperor Building Materials Company, and the sponsor not only wants everyone to enjoy watching, but also sponsors a cash draw on the spot! "The highest single transaction is 1000 yuan, and the lowest is 200 yuan.

The blood of the audience, who were so quiet, was boiling with enthusiasm, and the lottery session officially started.In order to prevent crowds and disorder, the host asked the lottery party to draw the seat numbers of the audience below, "Now, I invite the representative of Emperor Building Materials Company to draw the lottery!"

Uno turned his head casually, and saw a familiar person coming to the stage from the other side.Yinxiu, who is in her early twenties, deliberately put on a mature makeup, and her long hair has been curled slightly.She was wearing a beige suit, which was close-fitting and dignified.Without looking closely at her face, it's hard to see that the young girl doesn't fully hold up the suit, because her face is still a little tender.

Yin Xiu didn't say anything, but stretched out her hand to draw a card from the lottery box, and handed it to the host to read.She has never shown her face in front of so many people. The closest she was to the stage was when she was in the first grade of elementary school to perform for the Children's Day Gala. A girl with coordinated movements, a delicate appearance and a fast learning dance was selected to practice for half a month. , was finally told by the teacher that he had to pay for uniform performance costumes.She couldn't afford it and was "taken down" just a week before the official show.On the day of the performance, the children applauded their classmates and looked sympathetically at Yin Xiu who was sitting in the corner.Since then, she has been extremely sensitive in front of everyone.

Thanks to her work as a waiter, she gradually dared to speak, but it was different from now, countless pairs of eyes in the audience were looking at Yin Xiu, maybe they were guessing the age of the company representative, maybe they were thinking about the relationship between her and the company boss relationship between.

Yinxiu tried her best to overcome her restraint and kept smiling, but an accident happened when she drew the first card: she pinched the card out with two fingers and then slid to the ground.The host joked, "This first grand prize is so thrilling." While talking, there was a gust of wind when picking up the cards, and there was an echo in the sound system. People chased after them amidst laughter, and Yinxiu's eyes followed his movements and fell on the other side of the stage - under two steps, a bright red hat fell into her sight, wearing a men's gown embroidered in the same color, The young girl with slanted eyebrows and amused eyes collided with her eyes, and she immediately recognized Uo on that face painted in costumes.

When both of them were stunned, the host caught the card, "The number of this hard-working winner is—" The noisy atmosphere music sounded, and the audience was waiting for the host to read the number, and Yin Xiu on the stage was still there. Looking at Uno, the shock in her eyes quickly faded, and she quickly turned her head to scan the audience.Her smile is well-trained, and her ears are no longer listening. There is only one voice in Yinxiu's heart: don't look.

Then, she numbly drew the lottery, mechanically shook hands with each winner, gave red envelopes, and was helped by the host to take pictures among the people.Yin Xiu never turned her head, her nails were embedded in her palms, and the curvature of her lips remained unchanged.

Sister Mian noticed that Uosheng's expression was wrong, "What's the matter Uosheng?"

Uno turned around and wiped his tears very carefully with the sleeve of his costume, "The wind has blown sand in."

She was wearing a bright costume to go on stage to sing the emperor's general, and she presented the award on behalf of the emperor company in the center of the stage.This wonderful and cruel fate pierced his heart, and Uogi began to ring in his ears.Sister Mian saw that something was wrong with her, "Is it uncomfortable? Why don't we stop singing, this time has been disrupted by them, it's okay not to act."

Uno came back to his senses, "Sister, please pinch me." She stretched out her arm to let sister pinch, the first stroke was very light, and Uno shook his head and frowned, "Harder."

Sister Mian pinched again, but Uosheng still didn't think it would work.At the fifth beat, the pretty Huadan gritted her teeth viciously, and grunted softly in pain, and her voice returned to normal, "Okay."

When they were performing, Usheng sang smoothly with a solid melody and memorized lyrics, and caught people's hearts with just one word, "...the night hates the cold moon, and there is no place to express all kinds of sentiments..." She really He completely forgot the audience in the audience, and only had these three famous songs in his eyes.The sister Mian in front of her is sometimes herself, and sometimes Yinxiu.And Uosheng sang extremely emotionally and deeply, and Sister Mian was also substituted into the situation by her partner.

Uo has sung a ten-minute piece of music for more than ten years.She once thought that there should be a mother and a master in the audience, and then she hoped that Yu Ren and Yin Xiu would come to listen. Today, she came here for 2000 yuan, or to be exact, for the 1000 yuan that will be divided equally.

But now, Uosheng is singing for himself and Yinxiu.But the person supporting the play is in front of him, and the person who should be confided may be in the audience or may have left.

Yin Xiu didn't leave immediately after presenting the award, she hid behind the stage.But the sound of the sound surrounds the surroundings, and Uosheng's voice is like crying, like a spring, like a knife cutting directly on her pulse.

For the sake of Maosheng, she found Yue opera to listen to in private. After a long time, she gradually became able to hear the differences.Maosheng's pronunciation is very mellow, and a little nasal sound makes his singing more telling.Yinxiu's fists were clenched all the time, and when Uosheng finished singing and someone applauded from the audience, her body shook, as if she had loosened the soles of Rooting's feet, and she was able to leave immediately.

After stepping down, Maosheng searched around, but did not see Yinxiu, only Sun Tian, ​​who was looking for a trash can with a bowl of hot and sour egg soup, gave her a thumbs up, "expert."

Usheng wanted to laugh, but Sister Mian found that her makeup was washed away by sweat. She dragged Usheng back to the temporary dressing room, "I didn't expect, Xiaobai, that you performed so nervously but performed better than in the theater. Look at the sweat It's dripping—" It wasn't sweat, and Sister Mian suddenly saw that Usheng's eyes were all red.

Uno opened the makeup mirror, and said in a stronger nasal voice, "I don't take care of things, and when there are many people, I will be nervous and not practiced."

Sister Mian didn't dare to say much, so she sat next to Uno and took off her makeup together.After the masks of the two were washed off, Uogi's expression returned to normal.

Uo went to the women's changing room to change into costumes, and focused on smoothing out the double-breasted, long-collared and long-sleeved garments, then put on the dust cover and spread it upright on the back of the chair.The crown hat was carefully removed and held in front of the chest, the whole set of movements was gentle and serious.She made several actors in the temporary dressing room look favorably at each other—although everyone sang and acted in very different styles, the professional integrity of Uogi overflowed, making people feel that they were not just trying to make ends meet at the moment, And really playing a professional stage.

Originally, the three girls at the end of the show had an appointment for a dinner party. Seeing Uno like this, my sister was still beating drums in her heart, "If you feel uncomfortable, next time."

"Huh? Why change it next time?" Uosheng's nasal voice also faded by half, and his tone of speaking was completely unchanged.

Sister Mian patted her heart reassuringly, "Xiaobai——you just now, did you get into the show just now? You're so good!" She already admired Uno's singing skills, and today's partner refreshed her knowledge, and she also Thumbs up, "Medium!"

After half an hour, Sun Tian also sang and danced vigorously to Zhang Huimei. She trotted in wearing a down jacket and stomping her feet.

Sun Tian said to wait for a while, she is very fast, she does not need to remove makeup when changing clothes, but this false eyelash is annoying, "I have to fix it for a long time every time." Several of Sun Tian's false eyelashes have been frozen together, she sucks He looked at the eyelashes with his nose in the mirror, and reached out to forcefully tear them off.

"If you pull it like this, it's easy to take off your real eyelashes, and it's easy to make your eyelids sag." There is Wang Li, who taught makeup removal in Usheng, and he knows these details like the back of his hand.She opened her makeup case and took out a cotton swab, dipped it in makeup oil, and soaked the roots of Sun Tian's eyelashes a little bit.

The Henan girl's body leaned back slightly when Uosheng approached, the words on her mouth stopped suddenly, and she felt the coolness in her eyes.She had her eyes closed at first, but when she wanted to see Usheng's movements, she opened them again, her long eyelashes swept across the cotton swab, and Xiaosheng's warm voice came from above her head, "Don't move."

Sun Tian had no choice but to close her eyes again, and this time her body leaned back slightly, and she could smell the scent of calendula on Uno's body.

"You have to wait for the false eyelashes to be moisturized before they fall off." After he finished his work, Uso's left eye was busy with his right eye, and his clean and slender knuckles pinched the tiny cotton swab without looking clumsy.Sun Tian's eyeballs moved quickly, and Uogi said don't worry, I'm good at removing makeup.Sun Tian was so frightened that she didn't dare to roll her eyes.

In the end, the false eyelashes fell off, and Uosu squeezed the cotton pad to sweep over Sun Tian's eyes, and said, "Wait a little longer." The force was gentle and gentle.

Sun Tian counted "1, 2, 3——" secretly, but this moment was too short, and Uso had already wiped the area around her eyes clean.She opened her eyes and looked in the mirror, feeling indescribably refreshed.These eyes are still hers, but they are not hers anymore after Uno has removed her makeup——Sun Tian kept looking at Uno behind her through the mirror.

Uno nodded in satisfaction, but Sun Tian was a little embarrassed, "The school doesn't teach this, and I always mess around with it myself."

"Then you won't be messed up in the future." Maosheng said, seeing that Sun Tian was a little dazed, she reminded, "Let's go, let's eat."

Uosheng felt that among the countless experiences her master taught her, the most effective method was this way to quickly restore her mood: keep herself busy in an orderly manner.Immersed in your hands, you can forget some things in your mind.

For example, I forgot Yin Xiu's surprised and aggressive look on the stage, and I forgot my feeling of extreme loss when I couldn't find someone.

But she didn't do well enough. When the three of them ate hot pot at night, Usheng's bowl was full, but she always forgot to move her chopsticks.

Sister Mian was still saying that the play on the Maosheng stage scared her to death, and she was afraid that she would forget the words or lose her tune while singing Xiaobai.As a result, he didn't have any. As expected of Wang Li's high-achieving student in Baizhou, he is a solid young artist.

Sun Tian noticed that it was not as simple as entering the play. Behind the stage, she saw a girl listening to the music absently. When the music was about to end, she looked back at the stage, as if she had to struggle mentally before she could walk away.It is said that she is the representative of the sponsoring company. She is young and capable.

After eating the hot pot, my sister went home first, and Uosheng and Sun Tian walked for a while in the same direction. Uosheng said that this costume was not convenient to take the bus to squeeze, so she took a taxi and could take Sun Tian all the way.

"Eh?" Sun Tian blinked, "Are you chasing me?"

"This—" Uosheng was speechless, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that." Sun Tian's eyes were neither sweet nor salty, "What does that mean?"

A bus came, and Sun Tian, ​​who had to catch the school gate control time, immediately chased after it. Before getting on the bus, she turned her head and yelled at Uo, "You want to be beautiful!" Looking back at her in a row, he immediately turned his head back worriedly, and finally took out the small mirror that he carried with him to look at his eyes, "Mei Di is very careless."
