The Pentium Era - South to North

Xiao Wu went to Xiaoshan Airport to pick up Feng Laogui, and many people had dinner together at the Tuxiangyuan Hotel on Yan'an Road in the evening.

Xiao Wu, Xiao Jin, Zhang Chen, Tan Shuzhen, and Lao Yang, all from the Lao Wu Troupe, all arrived.

Wenwen also happened to arrive in Hangzhou today. She came to confirm the contract for "One Person's Oil Painting History" with Zhang Chen. In two days, Liu Qing and the others will arrive in Shanghai, and Zhang Chen will also go there. They have already decided Next, the first episode of "A Person's History of Oil Painting" starts from the "Tushanwan Oil Painting Gallery". Zhang Chen believes that this is the real cradle of Chinese oil painting.

In the second episode, we use the technique of narration to talk about Matteo Ricci and Castiglione. Zhang Chen defines that stage as the enlightenment stage of Chinese oil painting, which is the first time that Chinese people know what oil painting is.

Wenwen and Zhang Chen finalized the contract and went to have dinner with them.

Lao Yang came in from outside the box door. As soon as he saw Xiao Jin, he slapped his thigh and cursed, "I took all precautions, but I didn't expect you to sneak into Hangzhou."

Xiao Jin chuckled and said, Brother Zhang Chen asked me to come, and I was already working at Brother Zhang Chen’s place.

"Xiao Jin, when you do things in the future, you can't be too smart." Lao Yang sat down between Feng Laogui and Zhang Chen and said to Xiao Jin.

"What do you mean, Lao Yang?" Xiao Jin was unconvinced and cursed: "No matter how stupid I am, I will not leave a group of people there and run away by myself."

Old Yang's face turned red instantly, and Xiao Jin continued to curse: "If it weren't for Brother Zhang Chen, so many of us would have starved to death in Pingyang."

Wenwen became curious and asked: "Who ran away and who will starve to death again?"

Zhang Chen and Lao Gui could only laugh. No one answered her question.

Lao Yang regained his composure, and said, "They say you don't expose the weak but the weak. Xiao Jin, if you say this now, aren't you just talking beyond your brains?"

Xiao Jin scolded back: "It's my shortcoming that I don't have a brain. How the hell can you, Lao Yang, expose my shortcoming?"

Several other people's stomachs almost hurt from laughing, but Wenwen was the only one sitting there, looking at them stupidly, not knowing what they were talking about.

When the food was served, Zhang Chen raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's have a drink first."

Only then did Lao Yang and Xiao Jin stop bickering and toast together.

Then talking about the restructuring of the troupe, Lao Yang patted Feng Laogui on the shoulder and shouted:

"Lao Gui, I really envy you. Why haven't I encountered such a good life?"

"Aren't you okay?" Xiao Jin scolded, "Brother Zhang Chen and Sister Shuzhen are now Uncle Gui's boss. At that time, you were still their leader, and you were still in charge of them."

Lao Yang was not interested in continuing to quarrel with Xiao Jin. He said fine, I still have the power, is that enough?

"What kind of group leader? I was the only one who knew how many people were being criticized at that time." Lao Yang said, "There are dozens of people below who want to eat and perform. When they take them out, my fucking pockets are full." It's because I have no money, and I have to beg my grandpa and sue my grandma for alms. I'm just like a fucking dog.

"When you return to Yongcheng, you can rest in peace, can I? You can scold me if I can't get my salary. I'll go to the Cultural Affairs Bureau and they scold me too, saying that I don't understand the general situation and can't help the organization. To share the worries, Laogui could simply leave PepsiCo alone and let the troupe take care of it. At that time, it was impossible for me to ignore it.

"The Provincial Department of Culture also has an assessment of the number of performances every year. If you can't complete it, you won't even get a penny of subsidy. They won't even give you an indicator for becoming a full-time employee. You're a minor in the fucking career establishment. I'm not coveting it like this. You asked for it with shame, do you think it will fall from the sky? Can I also let the troupe roam free?

"In other words, Ding Baigou, that old dog, became the leader of the troupe and couldn't control it, so the troupe was completely disbanded. At that time, I only had a simple meal every day, but I wanted to let you have something to eat and let go of the troupe. I don’t dare to live for a day. I’m so damn exhausted. Is there anyone who says I’m good? I couldn’t hold on anymore. This old face was all sold out and it didn’t work anymore..."

As Lao Yang spoke, his eyes turned red. Zhang Chen patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Lao Yang, I know it was really not easy for you at that time. We really didn't understand your difficulties at the time. It was only later that I started to take care of others that I could understand the difficulties and know how difficult it is to be the leader."

Xiao Jin cupped his hands towards Lao Yang and said, "Okay, Lao Yang, thank you."

When Zhang Chen was talking, Tan Shuzhen and Feng Laogui kept nodding, and Wenwen nodded too. Xiaowu saw it and asked Wenwen with a smile:

"What are you nodding to?"

"I am also in charge, and I also know that it is not easy to be in charge." Wenwen shouted.

"Zhang Chen, thank you!"

Feng Laogui said to Zhang Chen that he was embarrassed to look at Tan Shuzhen, but he was talking about you. Feng Laogui continued:

"We are in Sanya. We heard that you were taking over the troupe. Everyone was very happy. Really, knowing this, the troupe has hope."

Feng Laogui then said to Lao Yang: "Lao Yang, what Zhang Chen said is right, and what you said is also right. The troupe is indeed too difficult, but fortunately, these hard days are finally over. From now on, I hope you, Lao Yang, can still help the group more."

Lao Yang waved his hand and said, "Of course, you can tell me that if you stay with the troupe for one day, your heart will remain with the troupe for the rest of your life. Seeing the troupe half dead makes me feel uncomfortable."

Lao Yang picked up the cup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. He said:

"Don't you want to recruit people? I still have some old connections. I know there are several troupes and several good actors. Those troupes are half-dead like us. I will write you a few letters when I go back. You can take them with me. Go find them, ask them to show their respect, and release these people to you, which will also give them a way to survive."

Feng Laogui quickly said, thank you, thank you, Lao Yang!

Wenwen and Feng Laogui said: "Uncle Lao Gui, aren't you going to the Provincial Art School? When will you go tomorrow? I will accompany you. I graduated from the Provincial Art School and I am familiar with it."

Zhang Chen scolded: "You are the only one who was expelled from the art school..."

Zhang Chen almost said the word "fired", but when he said it, he knew it was not good, so he quickly changed his words and said: "You have been away for such a long time, does it still matter?"

Wenwen said carelessly: "Of course, Qianqian and I were expelled from the Provincial Art School, but the two of us were influential figures in the school at that time and were very famous. My class teacher is now from the Provincial Art School. Vice-principal, we are still in contact, old uncle, there will definitely be no problem if you come with me."

Feng Laogui quickly said yes.

"Hey, why do you call him Uncle Gui?" Xiao Jin asked Wenwen.

Wenwen said in surprise: "Didn't you call first? I followed you. Is that wrong? Aren't you older than me?"

Everyone laughed.

Lao Yang raised his cup and said to Feng Laogui:

"Now that we have recruited all the people, I will find you a good script, introduce a good director, and arrange a new play. For the troupe, this new play is like an army fighting a war. When there is a battle, the team can If we are of one mind and do not fight for years, everyone will be tired."

As Lao Yang said, Zhang Chen, Tan Shuzhen, and Feng Laogui kept nodding. Of course, they all knew the importance of arranging new plays for a theater troupe. It can be said that, like aphrodisiacs, there are new plays every year. In the theater troupe where the drama is being rehearsed, everyone in the troupe will be humming the lyrics while walking on the street. Otherwise, they are full of clichés and would not even bother to hum.

Lao Yang and Tan Shuzhen said: "I'm ashamed. In the past few years in the troupe, I haven't rehearsed a new play. Zhenzhen, I know you are not convinced. Every year you look forward to rehearsing a new play and participating in the Ministry of Culture." If you can attend the performance, your performance will not be worse than that of Xiao Baihua, and you can also win the Plum Blossom Award.

"Unfortunately, I don't have the ability. A new play costs at least 100,000 yuan. I really didn't have the ability to get this 100,000 yuan at the time."

Tan Shuzhen raised her cup and said, "Come on, Lao Yang, don't talk about this, let's have a drink."

Lao Yang said yes, raised his glass and clinked it with Tan Shuzhen, and the two drank a drink.

"By the way, Uncle Lao Gui, let me be your agent." Wenwen said, "When your new play is arranged, I will help you contact the performance, and strive to let you not only perform in Beijing, but also find a way Act abroad."

"This is good, Laogui. It's right to let Wenwen be your agent." Tan Shuzhen said, "She is Nan Nan's agent and Zhang Chen's agent. She is very capable."

When Tan Shuzhen was talking, Zhang Chen nodded beside her.

Feng Laogui said with a smile: "You two bosses have agreed, what else will I have to say?"

"Then let's make an agreement, Uncle Gui." Wenwen said, "I know the troupe doesn't have much money. Don't worry, I will be your agent for free. You only need to reimburse me for the transportation and accommodation expenses."

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "She will try her best to get you half-price room rate."

Wenwen said yes, I will definitely save money if possible.

When Zhang Chen said this, Tan Shuzhen glanced at him. Zhang Chen immediately realized that he had made a mistake. You have never stayed in a hotel with others, how come you even know about the half-price room rate?

Zhang Chen hurriedly told Wenwen: "You don't need to save, just spend what you need. As long as you do things well, you will still charge the fees that should be charged."

Tan Shuzhen said that's right, Wenwen, just go ahead and do it.

Wenwen laughed "haha": "Listening to you two talking, I suddenly feel that I am rich."

Everyone had a great time eating this meal. They were all old acquaintances from the theater troupe, including Wenwen, who was originally studying Yue opera at the provincial art school. They all had a common language. Everyone was eating and drinking, and Wenwen couldn't bear it. As soon as he stopped, he stood up and sang a piece of Shaoxing opera.

After singing, I went to pick up Feng Laogui. Feng Laogui got up and sang a piece of Wu opera.

After Feng Laogui finished singing, Tan Shuzhen's drama addiction was aroused. She had indeed not sung for a long time. Wenwen knew that she sang very well. When they first met, the two of them had a drama. Wenwen Wen insisted that Tan Shuzhen sing, so Tan Shuzhen stood up and sang an excerpt from "Three Invitations to Fan Lihua".

Everyone else clapped when they heard this, but Feng Laogui looked a little sad. He was remembering the scene when Tan Shuzhen played Fan Lihua and he played Xue Dingshan. The two performed on the same stage. The past is like a cloud, but it still lingers. With.

They didn't finish eating until more than ten o'clock. Today, Feng Laogui also drank a lot of wine as an exception, and he was a little staggered when he finished.

Feng Laogui lives in the International Building not far next door. Wenwen has not been to Hangzhou for a long time and will only stay for one day this time. She will return to Beijing tomorrow evening. It would be troublesome to organize the room upstairs in the dynamic zone. Zhang Chen asked her to live there too. International Building.

Zhang Chen happened to pass by the International Building when he returned home, so he asked them to get into his car.

When they arrived at the International Building, Zhang Chen accompanied them upstairs. Wenwen went back to her room. Zhang Chen sent Feng Laogui into the room. Feng Laogui sat on the bed and said a few words to Zhang Chen. Suddenly, his body swayed. I poured it down, it was too much alcohol.

Zhang Chen laid his body on the bed, covered him with a quilt, poured a glass of water and put it on the bedside table to see if nothing happened to Lao Gui. He should just have a good sleep.

Zhang Chen opened the door and walked out towards the elevator. A door on the side suddenly opened, which startled Zhang Chen. Before he understood what was going on, Wenwen had already pulled him in.
