The old drama bone and the little actress [Rebirth]

On the new rehearsal day, Zhou Pei came to Huo Qingzhi's apartment and brought a bag of snacks besides breakfast.

Huo Qingzhi sat on the sofa and waited for her. Zhou Pei came in with a smile on his face, put the paper bag on the dining table, and said with a smile: "I brought you soy milk and small wontons. It doesn't matter if you eat two before ten o'clock in the morning."

Zhou Pei put things on the table, Huo Qingzhi glanced at the time, it was almost time to set off, why was Zhou Pei not in a hurry?

Huo Qingzhi said, "It's almost late."

Zhou Pei's smile froze for a moment, and she said, "You don't have to go to rehearsal today, Sister Li asked for leave for you."

Huo Qingzhi: "Huh?"

She sat at the dining table and ate a small wonton. The small wonton was exactly the one that Ren Yuqing took her to eat. The skin was thin and the stuffing was big, wrapped in hot soup and chili powder, and it was delicious after one bite.

After eating wontons, Huo Qingzhi raised his eyes and asked, "Why did she ask for leave for me?"

Zhou Pei was sitting opposite her, drinking soy milk, her hand was hanging vigorously all the time, Zhou Pei knew Huo Qingzhi's personality well, such rash behavior of asking for leave would definitely make her unhappy, now that Huo Qingzhi asked, she just relieved.

"She thinks you are too tired recently," Zhou Pei said the reason she had prepared, "It's time to take a break."

Huo Qingzhi asked doubtfully, "Really?"

Zhou Pei nodded quickly.

"I just took a long vacation before," Huo Qingzhi stared into her eyes, "it's absolutely unnecessary to ask for leave on rehearsal day."

Zhou Pei: "Is it really unnecessary?"

She meant something, and Huo Qingzhi recalled the scene that day.She was exhausted on stage and couldn't do what she used to.

At this time, Huo Qingzhi remembered something and asked, "What did the critics say about the performance that day?"

Zhou Pei shook his head and said, "It's not those words."

Huo Qingzhi's performance like that would naturally not be a good word.

How did you praise Huo Qingzhi in the past, but now you just drop the pen and write about her bad.

Before Zhou Pei came over in the morning, she went to the newsstand to take a look, bought a few professional review newspapers, glanced at them, and saw that it was horrible.

"The miracle of the Starlight Theater has fallen! Is Huo Qingzhi no longer suitable for drama performance? In the evening drama "Giraffe in Love" a few days ago, Huo Qingzhi's performance was not satisfactory. The whole drama was full of loopholes, which was disappointing."

"...We already know that in the previous "Giraffe in Love" performance, Huo Qingzhi always attracted the attention of the audience by himself. With this performance mode, Group B also performed smoothly in the evening performance. Now that Huo Qingzhi's condition has declined, does it mean that there will be adjustments in the evening?"

The few newspapers that Zhou Pei read were relatively light-spoken, while a few newspapers were very heavy-handed.

"The Starlight Theater chose Group B to perform the evening show. It was already a last-minute choice. Now that the leading actor Huo Qingzhi's condition has declined, the whole performance has become horrible. It's time for the Starlight Theater to reflect on itself."

As for such newspapers, Zhou Pei simply didn't read them, as if there was no such thing.

Looking at her expression, Huo Qingzhi already knew that comments were never good: "Is it all criticism?"

Zhou Pei sighed and said, "It's not that bad, but it's not too good either. Don't think too much about it."

"Well," Huo Qingzhi shook his head and lay down on the sofa, "The show season is almost over."

Zhou Pei keenly caught her signal. The show season is coming to an end. After this season, Huo Qingzhi will leave the theater and return to the film industry. All of this will no longer bother her.

Huo Qingzhi seldom said such frustrating words. Zhou Pei sat beside her and asked, "Did the drama make you very tired...?"

"Although it's not very good to say that," Huo Qingzhi looked at the ceiling, "but it really makes me very tired..."

Zhou Pei glanced at Huo Qingzhi, she suddenly felt that Huo Qingzhi looked very different, in the past six months, Huo Qingzhi had changed too much.

For a moment, Zhou Pei had mixed feelings in her heart. She patted the back of Huo Qingzhi's hand and said, "Don't worry, Sister Li has everything."

At the same time, in the manager's office of the Starlight Theater, Li Lizheng and Pan Deyue were sitting side by side, and the air was filled with strange politeness.

Li Li looked at Pan Deyue with a half-smile, occasionally took a sip of tea, and remained silent.

Pan Deyue tried his best to maintain a smile. When he welcomed Li Li into this room a few months ago, he did not expect her to be so tough.

"Manager Pan, Group A is clamoring to go back to the evening show. Everyone in the troupe knows about it except us, Qingzhi."

Li Li glanced at Pan Deyue, and said slowly: "The troupe is always like this, there is no trace of things, and there are rumors everywhere."

Pan Deyue twitched the corner of his mouth with a half-smile, he just knew what Li Li was talking about.

After that performance, the hearts of Group A began to fluctuate. Everyone felt that they were going back to the evening show soon. Ren Yuqing didn't say anything. In Li Li's ears.

An agent like Li Li knew about it. As the manager of the theater troupe, he was kept secret. He didn't know what Group A wanted to do.

After Fang Yucan's incident, Pan Deyue was already extremely wary of Group A, for fear that they would stir up trouble if they disagreed.

Pan Deyue looked at Li Li sitting there unfathomably, and felt a headache.

He knew that Group A had this idea, and when he passed by the rehearsal room just now, a few people were discussing the matter there, and he overheard it. Just as Pan Deyue wanted to reprimand him, he saw that the time agreed with Li Li had arrived, so he rushed over Office, I didn't expect that this was what Li Li wanted to talk to him about.

Pan Deyue smiled at her: "I don't know what the little girls think now, if they want to go back to the evening show, they have to let Ren Yuqing talk about it."

Li Li looked up at him and said, "Oh?"

Pan Deyue waved his hands again and again: "Of course, even though Ren Yuqing is young, she is also a starring role."

Li Li smiled: "If she didn't say it, Group A wouldn't be back at the evening show?"

Pan Deyue nodded and said, "Yes."

Li Li put down his teacup, and said, "Well, then, please let Manager Pan take more care of this matter, after all...no one wants to bring up old things again."

Pan Deyue said: "It's natural."

Li Li exchanged some pleasantries with him, took a look at him, and left the troupe with the excuse that he still had work.

Huo Qingzhi didn't know anything about her coming to the troupe today, and Li Li didn't intend to tell her.

In Li Li's opinion, as long as Huo Qingzhi can act in a stable manner, he will be fine through this season. The starring role of the evening show has already been obtained. As a manager, she will never let this position be left behind.

The best result is of course that Huo Qingzhi and Group B will stay in the evening show, but if there is any accident, Li Li doesn't mind if Huo Qingzhi becomes the leading actor of Group A, or anything else.

For Li Li, as long as Huo Qingzhi is still the leading actor in the evening show, it will be fine.This position is seen and recognized, and there is no need to think about the rest.

What she said to Pan Deyue today, Pan Deyue will definitely throw the problem to Ren Yuqing, let her choose to lead Group A back to the evening session, or stay in the afternoon session.

Li Li was in a good mood listening to the music on the radio.

After the discussion with Zhou Pei that time, she had a lot of doubts about Ren Yuqing. Now that the question of the evening show was in front of Ren Yuqing, Li Li also wanted to see how she would choose.

After Li Li left, Pan Deyue still sat in the office for a long time, without saying a word, just staring at the trees outside the window, now that autumn has come, the leaves have fallen to the ground, exposing the bare branches.

Before the rehearsal time came, the rehearsal room of the Starlight Theater was full of noise.

Someone in Group B had already discovered that Huo Qingzhi was not here today, and only after asking the drama teacher did they find out that she had asked for leave.

Now, Group B was in chaos. Ever since Huo Qingzhi became the lead actor, she had never been absent from rehearsals. Thinking of her decline in performance before, a lot of speculation surged in Group B for a while.

"Why didn't Qingzhi come today... Is he sick?"

"I don't think she was in a good condition that day. She probably wasn't feeling well. It's normal to ask for leave today. She hasn't asked for leave this season."

"Hmm... I'm thinking about a question, will Qingzhi not want to come? The previous performance was not good, and the newspaper wrote that way, and she didn't come to the rehearsal today..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's just that you didn't come to the rehearsal all day, you sound like you're leaving the group?"

Someone squinted at the speaker, picked up the prop angrily, and shouted: "Rehearsal!"

Without a starring role, Group B just rehearsed like this. Everyone's action lines were fairly serious, but the drama teacher had already discovered that the anger of these people had dissipated a lot, and today's rehearsal was not satisfactory.

In the rehearsal room next door, Group A was rehearsing at the same time.

Ren Yuqing stood in the center, reciting lines, everything was as usual, the rehearsal moved forward in an orderly manner, and soon came to an end.

After the three rehearsals were over, Ren Yuqing was hesitating whether to rehearse two more times, but she saw the members of group A all quiet down, as if they had something to say.

Ren Yuqing looked at them in confusion. She was aware of the recent situation in Group A. It was understandable that they wanted to return to the evening show, but did they plan to speak out now?

Ren Yuqing thought it was ridiculous, she had only acted a few times, and they dared to have such a dream?

Under Ren Yuqing's gaze, someone finally took a step forward, looked at her eagerly, and said, "Yuqing..."

Ren Yuqing tilted her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

The man was stalked by her, but he continued: "Now we have performed two performances, and the word of mouth and evaluation are getting better and better. The afternoon performance is already full..."

Ren Yuqing looked at her sideways and asked, "So?"

The man forcibly cheered himself up and said with a smile, "We think it's time to talk to the manager about returning to the evening show?"
