A Chi Ling opens the era of national style

Chapter 57 Infighting
"Enough! I'm asking for your opinion, not for you to quarrel!"

Xu Henian slapped the table heavily, stood up, and looked in the direction of Chen Jinxian and Wang Ranzai.

The two people at the center of the topic were actually calm.

Both of them stood there at a loss.

Xu Henian actually knew that what they said was correct, and they each had their own reasons.

Both Wang Ran and Chen Jinxian are qualified to serve as the young squad leader.

"What's your opinion?" He left the choice to Chen Jinxian and Wang Ran.

Chen Jinxian breathed a sigh of relief, "I think they are right. The senior brother is far superior to me in terms of qualifications and singing skills. I think it is appropriate for the senior brother to serve as the junior class leader."

Wang Ran immediately answered, "I think it's very suitable for the younger brother to be the young class leader. The young class leader is the young one."

He threw this option out in a joking way.

From the bottom of his heart, he had the idea of ​​being a young class leader.

But that was his idea before the troupe was disbanded. Ever since Chen Jinxian discussed letting everyone return to the capital, he felt that the leader of the young troupe must be Chen Jinxian.

Especially when it comes to stabilizing the troupe, Chen Jinxian has done more than any of them, and he never takes credit or complains.

He could see that Chen Jinxian really wanted the troupe to come back to life.

The mutual humility of the two made it difficult for others to make a decision.

Xu Henian paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, squinting his eyes and thinking for a long time.

If he really wanted to directly appoint Chen Jinxian as the head of the young class, he couldn't say it.

Wang Ran was brought up by him alone. He joined He Nian's class at the age of three, and when he was still unable to walk steadily, he would call his master softly and childishly from behind his buttocks.

When he thought of these past events, he couldn't bear it.

"How about this, the two of you have the highest voices, and the position of the young class leader will be chosen from the two of you."

"The young troupe leader is responsible for the entire troupe. Everyone's livelihood and the future of the troupe depend on the young troupe leader."

"As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. The young class leader must be calm enough to be calm in the face of major events, and set a good example for everyone."

"For the sake of fairness, I will give you a test question. The topic is how to save the theater troupe. You two will each express your ideas and let everyone vote."

Chen Jinxian and Wang Ran looked at each other and nodded one after another.

This proposal is indeed fair enough.

Whoever comes up with a better and forward-looking approach will be given the position of leader.

Everyone was seated in the audience. Chen Jinxian and Wang Ran were backstage. When someone was called, who would come out to express their thoughts.

This also avoids borrowing ideas from each other.

Chen Jinxian and Wang Ran stood in the background, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

They didn't expect that their fellow seniors would one day take the stage to compete.

Chen Jinxian shrugged and smiled helplessly, "Actually, I think you are more suitable than me. Your qualifications are the most senior in the troupe, and the master has praised you countless times."

"Master also said that you are the most talented. In my opinion, you are also very suitable."

"Eldest brother, I hope that no matter what happens in a while, it won't affect our friendship, okay?"

"of course."

The two laughed heartily at the same time.

After getting ready, Wang Ran took the stage first.

"I think that if we want to revive the troupe, we need to increase our publicity. We can promote the Crane Troupe on Weibo and Douyin, and we can also post some knowledge about Peking Opera to let the public know more about Peking Opera."

"In addition, we can also print flyers and distribute them on the streets to get more people to make appointments with us."

Xu Henian nodded, and there was applause from the audience. Wang Ran walked to the audience and sat down while watching.

Chen Jinxian then came to the stage, remained silent for a while, and then said seriously.

"It is not difficult to revive the opera troupe, as long as the traditional Peking opera is combined with the popular elements to create a new form of Peking opera, let people know about Peking opera first."

"Gradually deepen it until they understand what real Peking Opera is and fall in love with it from the bottom of their hearts."

"It's hard for them to accept singing a show for them right away, and they won't like such a blunt promotion method."

"So, I think the way to revitalize the theater troupe is to mix drama elements into popular songs, combine the two, create works that are eye-catching, stimulate their interest, and then gradually deepen their interest."

After Chen Jinxian finished speaking, the audience was quiet for a while.

Then Wang Ran took the lead in applauding.

"Good! Well said! This is a real feasible path."

"I support my junior brother's point of view. If you forcefully teach them what Peking Opera is, they won't like it. Only by making them really like Peking Opera can we do it."

"I didn't see it, my junior brother actually has such an idea."

Xu Henian's ancient and unwavering eyes shone with light as he looked at Chen Jinxian with satisfaction.

Sure enough, he was right.

Chen Jinxian is the perfect candidate for the young class leader.

The future of the Peking Opera industry is really bright.

And Chen Jinxian is the person who leads everyone towards the new Peking Opera.

"Let the voting begin now. Will you two go backstage, or will you watch them vote with your own eyes?"

"Just stay here, there's nothing to hide from."

"Me too, just stay here."

The two chose to sit and stand on the stage and watch them vote.

In the end, Chen Jinxian won with 33 votes and Wang Ran won with [-] votes.

"Congratulations to your junior brother. It seems that I am really old. The future of the troupe depends on young people."

Wang Ran took the initiative to shake hands with Chen Jinxian.

Chen Jinxian bowed deeply, "Senior Brother, I accept the offer. I will definitely lead you all to live a good life, and I will definitely let more people know about Peking Opera."

The position of the young leader was decided, and in front of Xu Henian, no one had any objections.

He said he wanted to vote, he voted, and the results came out.

Even if some people are not convinced, they can only hold it in their hearts.

Xu Henian came to the stage to announce the results, solemnly announcing Chen Jinxian as the successor of Henian's class.

From then on, what Chen Jinxian said was what the old class leader said.

After the crowd dispersed, everyone went back to their rooms.

Chen Jinxian sat in the lobby and checked the data of the two platforms. Strangely, the number of fans increased very slowly.

His eyes were sore from watching it, and he planned to go back upstairs and lie down for a while.

At the corner of the stairs, he seemed to hear rustling chatter. He stopped and was about to leave, but he seemed to hear his name again.

"Don't you think this vote is very unfair to senior brother?"

"No, everyone voted for it. How is it unfair?"

"Tsk, you're stupid! It's clear that senior brother's voice is louder, and the master insists on asking some exam questions, isn't this partiality!"

Chen Jinxian didn't have the habit of listening to the wall, but this time he became the subject of discussion, and he couldn't move his mind.

The voices sounded like Qin Mengzhi and Li Li.

Qin Mengzhi stood by Wang Ran's side, while Li Li tried his best to speak for Chen Jinxian.

"But where is the bias? The situation at that time was obviously that the senior brother and the junior brother had almost the same supporters. Master was doing it for the sake of fairness."

"Come on, you said it too, this is a competition between the senior brother and the junior brother, why should Chen Jinxian win the senior brother?"

"The plan he proposed is really good. Didn't the master say it? It depends on whose plan is more forward-looking. Obviously, the younger brother's plan is better."

"The combination of opera and pop is called forward-looking? Have you seen how Chen Jinxian is evaluated on the Internet? They say he is insulting Peking Opera, or just sing well and stop doing all these bells and whistles!"

"I'm too lazy to tell you! You are just biased against Chen Jinxian."

"What prejudice do I have? I'm starting from the facts, and the truth of the facts is that this matter is unfair."

Chen Jinxian heard hurried footsteps coming from the front, and then heard Qin Mengzhi's voice.

Li Li should have left, and Qin Mengzhi followed closely.

He walked out slowly, feeling a little complicated.

He is not a saint and cannot completely ignore the voices of the outside world.

After pacing in the room and thinking for a long time, he finally made up his mind to find the master.

Xu Henian's room was empty, and no one answered.

Chen Jinxian opened the door and went in but found no one.

"Strange, it was still in the lobby just now, why did it disappear again?"

"Hey, I thought it was someone who was sneaking around in front of the master's door. It turned out to be the junior brother... No, it should be called the young class master now."

"Can you stop being so thorny when you speak?"

Qin Mengzhi walked out of the room and leaned against the door frame, staring straight at Chen Jinxian with rat-like eyes.

Chen Jinxian immediately refuted and fought back.

When they were in the theater troupe before, the two had a good relationship because of the same period, and they got along very well all the time.

Even during the time they returned to the capital, the two of them did not have any disputes.

Chen Jinxian didn't remember how he had offended Qin Mengzhi, and suddenly he didn't want to see him so much.

Their voices were neither loud nor quiet, and everyone on this floor could hear them.

"What? Did I hit your sore spot? Master went out early in the morning, what are you doing here looking around? Do you think the position of the young class leader is not enough?"

"What do you mean."

"What do you mean you don't know? Why didn't you bring the master and move in at the same time as us?"

"Because I was very busy some time ago, and I haven't sorted it out here yet."

"Oh, an excuse! It's clear that you want to deliberately drag the master into the courtyard, so as to brainwash him and let him come forward to appoint the young class leader's seat."

Chen Jinxian frowned and looked at Qin Mengzhi angrily.

How deep of hatred and contradictions must there be for Qin Mengzhi to have such a deep prejudice against him.

The point is, why doesn't he remember how he offended him.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm down his emotions and not let himself quarrel with him.

Having just taken over the position of the young class leader, quarreling with the seniors would make the people in the troupe uneasy.

"Senior brother, I don't know why you would have such an idea. I can swear to God that I did not expect anything today, and I never knew about it."

"I brought my master to live here because I think we are all in the same troupe and should be reunited."

"If you have misunderstood because of this matter, then I apologize. It was my lack of consideration, but I will not take the blame for your so-called brainwashing of the master! Nor do I recognize this reason."

Qin Mengzhi just opened his mouth to refute.

The doors of the rooms opened one after another.

Wang Ran came out and stood between the two, "They're all from the same troupe, why are you arguing? Are you not happy that the troupe can reunite? Don't you want to continue singing?"

"Does it matter who holds the position of Young Leader? In today's situation, Junior Brother is indeed more suitable to be the Young Leader."

"What are you dissatisfied with?"

Wang Ran threw the pot out.

Listening to the quarrel just now, those who didn't know it thought it was Wang Ran who asked Qin Mengzhi to come out.

Qin Mengzhi stomped his feet, gritted his teeth, and said, "Brother, I'm always talking for you. If you don't help me, will you help him? He stole your seat as the young troupe leader. You've been in the troupe for so long. Why isn't the young class leader you?"

Chen Jinxian stepped forward and said, "If you really feel that I am not suitable to be the junior class leader, I can make it clear to the master and give this position to the senior brother."

"Who are you pretending to be acting for? If you want to, why didn't you say it when the master was around?"

Qin Mengzhi retorted again.

Chen Jinxian helplessly spread his hands, "Is there anything wrong with me?"

The atmosphere is getting more and more dignified.

The rest of the people stopped watching the show and stood up one after another to persuade them to make peace.

"Okay, okay, isn't this matter already settled? The senior brother didn't say anything, why are you so anxious and pale?"

"That's right, stop arguing, don't wait until the time comes for the play, and conflicts will erupt within us first."

"Mengzhi, go back to your room, be careful if the master finds out about this, he will punish you again!"

"Just punish him. I'm afraid he won't succeed. The master is no longer the master he used to be! I'm very disappointed in him!"

Chen Jinxian rushed in front of Qin Mengzhi with strides, and shouted angrily, "Qin Mengzhi!"

"I'll let you, you're still kicking your nose, right? You say I can do anything, but you say the master just can't do it! Don't you know if the master treats you well?"

"That's right, Mengzhi. You shouldn't say that about Master. You forgot that you were sick when you were a child. Who carried you five miles away to seek medical treatment?"

"Mengzhi, you've had enough!"

Everyone started to scold Qin Mengzhi.

Qin Mengzhi lowered his head with a gloomy face, clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turned white and creaked.

"Okay! You are all reasonable, but I am the most unreasonable! Let me go!"

As soon as the words fell, Qin Mengzhi ignored dissuasion and threw down the stairs, and disappeared in the theater after a while.

After everyone calmed down, they went downstairs to look, but couldn't find him.

Xu Henian walked in carrying a big bag, "What are you doing here?"

"Master, did you see Mengzhi when you came back?"

"Mengzhi? No, what's the matter?"

Everyone hesitated, and Chen Jinxian stepped forward slowly, "Senior Brother Mengzhi said that the candidate for the junior class leader should be re-elected."

He didn't tell his master what Qin Mengzhi said about him.

Xu Henian was a little puzzled, "Why? Isn't this the result of the vote?"

Chen Jinxian lowered his head and did not answer, and the rest of the people turned their eyes away one after another, not daring to look at Xu Henian.

"Speak! Are you all mute? What happened to Qin Mengzhi?"
