Chapter 68 Master Yue

The coal washing plant run by Lu Chaoyang's wife, Jian Jie, is located by the Jinsha River in Hexi District

Hexi District is an old industrial area with hundreds of small enterprises, and it was used as supporting facilities for iron and steel complexes during the construction of the third front.

Because there are many small businesses and a large amount of coal is used, the business of the coal washing plant is good.It's just that there is a serious backlog of funds in this business, and the expenses are tens of thousands of dollars, which makes Boss Lu and his wife very headache.

Lu Chaoyang was also a little bit regretful, and complained jokingly to his wife: I said the leader, you are just greedy for everything, you built such a big stall, and accidentally threw away millions.But once the accounts are settled, the monthly profit of his mother is about the same as that of our performance company, and it also exhausts the whole family, it is unnecessary!
Simple but serious, Lao Lu, don't look at our performance company's business is good now, but what about the future?Those who listened to the opera were all from the older generation. Seeing that they were getting older, the business would get worse and worse in the future.The performance company has lived for ten or eight years, and it may not be able to continue, and it still needs to diversify to save a way out.

Lu Chaoyang said, but the business of your coal washing plant is really not surprising.

Jian Jie said that everything is difficult at the beginning, but gradually becomes smooth.Lao Lu, I'll keep an eye on the factory, and your performing arts company will take on more work to keep the factory going.

Lu Chaoyang: "That is, as long as the scene in the smelter is over, at least ten bundles of profits will be generated, which is just for you to support, so don't worry about 1!"

Jian Jie: "I hope that the performance will go well. By the way, have the actors been found? Who are they?"

Lu Chaoyang replied that he was determined to win the smelter's performance. These days, he also contacted some folk drama actors to form a troupe.

"Folk, are Sichuan opera actors successful?" Jian Jie said a little worriedly: "Kongming opera has too high a quality for the actors, and most people may not be able to handle it."

In fact, there are only a few classic repertoires of Kongming opera in traditional dramas, such as "Lost in the Sky", "The Meeting of Heroes", "Borrowing the East Wind" and "Receiving Jiang Wei". The requirements for eye-step singing are very high.Once the performance is not in place, it is easy to make people play.In the end, the actors sang dryly on the top, and the audience dozed off listening to it below, which was depressing.

Jian Jie also said, it is really hard to find actors for Kong Ming Opera, and you are also stupid.If someone wants to play Guan Yu, you can just go, but if you want to go to the prime minister, isn't that embarrassing yourself?In a hurry, where do you find a character who can play Zhuge Liang?
Lu Chaoyang: "It's hard to find an actor who can play Guan Erye! Don't worry, I have a goal in mind. I have already made an appointment to have dinner with him at a nearby restaurant. Let's go and wait."

The person he was talking about was a middle-aged man in his forties, surnamed Yue, who specialized in singing old students, brought a few apprentices, had his own team, and often appeared in various weddings and funerals in the countryside.

The folk performance teams are all connected. Lu Chaoyang has cooperated with him once before, but this time there is nothing wrong, so I invite him to come over for friendship and support.

Jian Jie frowned and said, the folk performance team is in a mess, is it done?

She has also gone out with her husband to run a group several times, and has also been to the countryside, so she knows how those small performing arts groups play.Now the economic situation is very good, and everyone has money on hand.Especially in the countryside, weddings and funerals like to put on a big show for a few days.Ever since, in order to attract the audience, those unscrupulous performers dared to make a group of three-point obese women scratch their heads on the stage, regardless of whether your family is married, a bride or an old man passed away... It happened in a county below Yizhou last year In the striptease incident, in the end, the lead actor was caught by the public security organs, and several of them were sentenced.

Not only them, even the master's house was taken in and locked up for a few days. Do you think it was wronged?

Lu Chaoyang understood his wife's worry and explained, don't underestimate this old Yue.He used to be in the Torch Theater Troupe. Although he didn't go to a serious drama school, most of the actors in the Torch Theater Troupe back then were old artists who were dispatched from professional theaters in the province to the Cowshed in the countryside.

Lao Yue has served several masters in the regiment for many years, but he has learned the real skills, and he has a lot of knowledge, origins and inheritance.

He now opened a photo studio in his hometown, and the business is doing well.The reason why I run outside is not for money, it is purely a hobby, don't worry, the ability is absolutely strong.

After finishing speaking, Lu Chaoyang smiled and said, "Can't you trust me? It's getting late, let's go to the restaurant and drink tea while waiting. Are you hungry?"

The beneficiation machine in the coal washing plant was rumbling. Both Jian Jie and Lu Chaoyang were engaged in art and were very sensitive to noise.After staying in the factory for a long time, I suddenly felt restless, so I drove to a restaurant on the main street of the district.

The restaurant sells stewed mutton, and a pot of white soup has already been boiled, which is fragrant.

People in Southwest Province only eat mutton in winter, and don’t touch it in other seasons, mainly because they are afraid of getting angry.There is no way, the climate in the basin is humid, and the local mutton smells strong.But Jinsha City is full of immigrants, most of whom are from the north, and they still retain the habit of eating sheep all year round.

As soon as the couple sat down and had a cup of tea, a group of people marched into the private room. The leader was Lao Yue, a middle-aged man who was a bit bald.

He was followed by six men and women, young and old, each with musical instruments such as huqin, allegro, snare drum, big cymbal, and suona.

Seeing Lao Yue's top baldness, Lu Chaoyang was overjoyed and jumped up, "Lao Yue, Lao Yue, you've arrived. Brothers are looking forward to it, spring is here."

Just go and shake his hand.

"Get out of the way!" Unexpectedly, a young man suddenly took a step forward and stopped in front of him, his eyes were full of murderous intent, as if he was about to punch Lu Chaoyang if he didn't agree with him.

Lao Yue hurriedly shouted: "Xiao Lin, this is Boss Lu, don't mess around." Then he smiled and said to Lu Chaoyang: "This kid is my apprentice, last week we went to the countryside to perform, and when we sang "Lin Haixue Yuan", we ran into a jump. Huang Wu's came over to snatch business. How can we bear it, beat them and drove them away. However, my old waist was also beaten. This kid, now sees anyone approaching as a teacher, and is very wary. "

Lu Chaoyang smiled: "The other side is also blind. If they want to steal your business, they have to let them taste the iron fist of the revolutionary team. By the way, can you sing with back pain?"

Lao Yue said, it doesn't matter, it's all over soon, let's talk about the drama.

Everyone sat down and talked about the scene in the smelter.

Lao Yue said that he can perform Kongming opera, but he can't handle the big drama, so he can only sing a segment. The repertoire is initially determined to be "Zhuge Diaoxiao".

Lu Chaoyang said that the play was very good and fit the occasion.

The smelter frequently had safety accidents, and the boss suspected that evil spirits were at work.Asking the prime minister to pay homage to the filial piety should bring peace back there.

There are not many lyrics in this play, but a lot of dialogue.

As he spoke, he picked up his teacup to moisten his throat, and read: "Woohoo Gongjin, unfortunately, he died young! Wouldn't people be hurt if he shortened the days? Steam to taste..."

Although it is a Southwestern dialect, the characters are well-spoken and have a strong appeal, showing a good foundation in drama.

Lu Chaoyang is also a fan of drama, his heart was itchy, and he followed suit: "Thinking of you, you were majestic and heroic; crying for your early death, bleeding on your knees. Loyalty and heroic spirit; life will last three centuries, and your name will last forever. I am deeply saddened by your sorrow, but my heart is full of sorrow. My heart is full of sorrow. The vast sky is dark, and the three armies are mournful. The Lord weeps, and my friends cry."

Lao Yue continued to read: "Liang is not talented, beggars seek advice, help Wu to reject Cao, and assist Han to secure Liu. With the help of Jijiao, the head and the tail are in love; if they survive or die, why worry about it? Woohoo Gongjin! Farewell to life and death! Pu keeps his chastity, and the darkness is extinguished. If the soul has a spirit, let me learn from my heart; from now on, there will be no bosom friend in the world! Oh, it hurts! Fu Wei is still eating."

Fun, really fun.

Both clapped their hands and laughed.

Jian Jie thought to himself: Bald Yue is a professional, this drama is done.

A stone fell from her heart, and she let the food be served.

At this time, Lu Chaoyang's cell phone rang, and he connected: "Hi, hello, I'm Lu Chaoyang, who... ah, Boss Tao, yes yes yes, I'm in Hexi District, and I'm having dinner at "Zhengtai Restaurant" Well... ah, you are also in Hexi, have you eaten..."

As he spoke, he covered the microphone and said to everyone: "Excuse me, I'm going out to answer the phone. Jian Jie, please replace the wine with tea and give me a respect to Master Yue and all the masters."
