1980 My literary era

Capital Theater, the performance of "Farewell My Concubine" is in progress.

Chen Xiaoer came down from the stage sweating profusely and pulled off his hood. In the play, he plays the role of Fourth Master Yuan, a well-dressed beast who loves opera, and his appearance design is also in the direction of a gentle scum.

His scene for tonight is over, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to come down and pull off his headgear.

"Oh, the acting was really enjoyable, but wearing a hood is too painful."

Li Wanfen on the side joked: "Who told you to become naked at such a young age? The group's styling is really convenient."

Chen Xiaoer put the hood on the dressing table, "You don't understand, my hairstyle has a lot of benefits!"

"Oh? Let me hear it?"

"First of all, my hair style is not hot in summer."

"But you are cold in winter!"

"Aren't you cold in winter? Isn't it enough to wear a hat?"

"That's true, what are the advantages?"

"My hair is easy to take care of. It can be done with just one blade. I save money on haircuts."

"That's right, it's all in vain for the master to cut your hair."

…

The two of them were like having a cross talk, one complimenting and the other teasing, making the actors resting and waiting backstage laugh out loud.

"Oh, it can't be done, it can't be done. You two, please stop talking. If you keep talking, my makeup will be ruined."

The plot on the stage was full of ups and downs, but the background was full of joy and peace.

As there are fewer and fewer actors in the backstage and more and more actors are taking a break, the play is about to end.

After some veteran actors get used to it, they still stand on the side curtains and observe the performances of their colleagues. This is also a kind of learning.

Chen Xiaoer chatted for a long time and then joined in.

It happened that the scene of Yu Ji committing suicide was being played on the stage. Seeing Yang Lixin's weak and weak figure slowly falling down, he couldn't help but sigh: "Lixin's play is so good!"

Several veteran actors next to him also nodded in agreement, "Xiao Yang has really come out, and every performance is better than the last!"

"I'm going to make a name for myself!"

The veteran actors sighed, Chen Xiaoer felt a little uneasy when hearing these words. Yang Lixin's performance was indeed good, but he felt that it was the role that made the person successful. The role of Cheng Dieyi was a typical theater guarantor. It will be bad.

Chen Xiaoer is confident that if this role is given to him, he will never perform worse than Yang Lixin.

Of course, he was just thinking about these words in his heart, and he also knew that his image was a bit lacking.

The profession of actor is sometimes just a matter of face.

He is not convinced and envious of Yang Lixin, but he will never be jealous. This is his pride and confidence in his profession.

He firmly believes that as long as he is given a suitable role, he will be like Yang Lixin.

Become famous in one act.

Yang Lixin was born in 1957 and just celebrated his 25th birthday.

He is a native of Yanjing and has loved going to the theater since he was a child. Next to his home is the North China Theater, where he performs Northern Hebei Bangzi all the year round. He is very fond of Hebei Bangzi, Pingxi Opera and Peking Opera.

In 1975, various cultural units in Yanjing were recruiting students. Yang Lixin was a freshman in high school at No. 147 Middle School and accompanied his students to take the exam for the Yanjing Opera Troupe.

Because the typhoon was not bad, he was recommended by the teacher of the Qu Theater to apply for the People's Art. He was successfully admitted to the People's Art student class and became a drama actor.

In his second year in Renyi, Yang Lixin starred in his first drama in his life, playing the role of the "enemy adjutant" in "Ten Thousand Rivers and Thousands of Mountains". His co-star was Zhu Xu, a Mesozoic pillar of Renyi at this time.

In the following years, Yang Lixin successively appeared in many dramas of Renyi, and his acting skills were honed little by little.

Playing the role of Cheng Dieyi is a huge opportunity for Yang Lixin.

He is a popular actor, so he naturally knows how much the theater attaches importance to this play. It took several months just to discuss the script in the early stage.

It took a full year of preparation, rehearsal, and performance.

This year has also been a transformation for Yang Lixin, from the joy when he was first selected as Cheng Dieyi, to the anxiety after getting the script, to the feeling of life being worse than death when he went to the Peking Opera Theater for training...

I took every step with trepidation, fearing that I would be kicked off because of poor performance.

We lack everything in terms of talent and talent, except for good actors.

Now, Yang Lixin finally tastes the joy of suffering.

He stood in the middle of the empty stage, couldn't help but open his arms, closed his eyes and felt the thunderous applause that existed in this theater not long ago.

"Lixin, why don't you leave?"

The arrogant mood was interrupted before it could be released. Yang Lixin put down his arms and turned around, his expression a bit shy.

He originally thought that when the show was over and all his colleagues were gone backstage, he could come to the stage to feel and miss the feeling of being in the spotlight, but he didn't expect to be discovered.

The person who called him was the veteran actor who played Master Guan in the play. He showed a kind smile to Yang Lixin and joked: "How about you experience it again, there is no one here anyway."

Yang Lixin's face felt a little hot, "No need. It's too late. I have to go home early. You should also go home early and rest."

As he spoke, he walked backstage, cleaned up briefly and left the Capital Theater.

The home of Renyi is the Capital Theater. There is a tradition here that after the play ends every night, the actors will leave here on bicycles through the gate of the Capital Theater.

At this time, there will be many fans who love dramas waiting here. In later generations, these are fans.

Fans are waiting at the gate of the Capital Theater. When they see an actor riding out, they will shout their name loudly, or the name of the character, and the actors will happily agree.

The play "Farewell My Concubine" is very long, three hours long, and every time the actors come out it is already after 11pm.

But in recent days, the number of fans at the entrance of the Capital Theater has not decreased, but has increased.

Most of them have only one purpose, and that is to have close contact with "Cheng Dieyi".

Yang Lixin was well prepared and came out of the courtyard on his bicycle. He held the handlebar with one hand and the fans standing at the door waved with his other hand, smiling all over his face.

This feels so good!

Yang Lixin felt that he was looking more and more like a great actor, and he was secretly happy when he heard an earth-shattering shout from the crowd.

"Die Yi!" [broken sound]

Before Yang Lixin could react, a long black object hit him head-on.

With a "Duang" sound, the bicycle stopped there. Stars appeared in Yang Lixin's eyes and he felt a sharp pain in his forehead.

The fans who were excited just now were startled, and they immediately rushed forward without knowing what was happening in the dark.

"Teacher Yang, what's wrong with you?"

"Cheng Dieyi, are you okay?"

After getting over the initial dizziness and pain, Yang Lixin finally recovered. He took off the hand covering his head, and it turned out that he was bleeding.

The fans who had gathered around him had already found the object that had just flown over for him. They looked at it with the light of a flashlight and saw that it was a sword.

When I pulled it out, I saw that it had been sharpened.

Yang Lixin called it a fluke in his heart. Thanks to the scabbard and the leather covering, otherwise his life might have been risked by it.

Who is this?

Yang Lixin cursed in his heart.

"Who is this?"

Yang Lixin didn't need to take the initiative to speak, there were already angry fans speaking up for him.

"What a bastard. How can you throw things away like this?"

"That's right, Teacher Yang's head was smashed."

"It almost killed me. It's better to go to the hospital quickly."

Fans are clamoring to send Yang Lixin to the hospital for examination.

Yang Lixin was in a state of confusion. He touched the injury on his forehead, but it must not be too serious. There will be a performance tomorrow.

Under the escort of enthusiastic fans, he came to the hospital and checked first. His head was smashed but his bones were fine. Yang Lixin said he was lucky.

The doctor also planned to give Yang Lixin stitches on his wound, but Yang Lixin refused.

If he needs stitches, he needs to shave his head. There will be a performance tomorrow, so there can't be any problem with his style.

"Doctor, is it okay without stitches?"

The doctor hesitated for a moment and said, "Your wound is not too big, so it's not impossible to do it without stitches. It's just that the wound will recover a little slower, and scars will be unavoidable."

Yang Lixin thought that it didn't matter how fast she recovered. Any wound would leave a scar, it was just a big or small thing. As long as it wasn't on the face and it didn't delay her acting, it didn't matter.

After rejecting the offer of stitches, Yang Lixin came out of the clinic, and fans gathered around him.

"Teacher Yang, are you okay?"

"Teacher Yang, your injury won't delay tomorrow's performance, right?"

…

It was already past midnight, and being surrounded by these enthusiastic fans, Yang Lixin felt warm in his heart.

"Thank you everyone. My injury is fine. It will heal in a few days. It's too late. You all should go home first."

"We're fine. You're injured. Let's take Teacher Yang home first to prevent anyone from harming you again."

A fan said, winning unanimous approval from everyone.

Yang Lixin couldn't win over these fans, so he had no choice but to agree to their escort.

Along the way, Yang Lixin chatted with everyone.

This group of fans are basically young people, and their families are in good condition. Otherwise, there would be no actors who would come to watch dramas and pursue talent in their spare time.

When he arrived at the venue, Yang Lixin stood at the entrance of the alley and waved goodbye to the fans.

The group of fans finally dispersed, leaving a young-looking man riding a bicycle still standing there with a guilty look on his face.

Zhang Jianjun's heart was filled with apology and guilt.

The sword that hit Yang Lixin was thrown by him. He really had no intention of harming Dieyi.

The sword he threw out was an ancient sword collected by his father and was old.

Zhang Jianjun felt that Yang Lixin's Cheng Dieyi was good, and Cheng Dieyi's Yu Ji was good, but the sword he used on the stage was not good enough, so he stole the sword from home and gave it to Cheng Dieyi. .

Unexpectedly, I was too excited in the dark and accidentally threw it too hard.

"Oh! It's really self-defeating."

Fortunately, the sword was finally taken away by Yang Lixin.

Zhang Jianjun thought to himself that this whipping was not in vain.

The next day, Yang Lixin appeared in Renyi with gauze on his head.

Ouyang Shanzun was startled, "What's going on?"

Yang Lixin explained yesterday's situation, and Ouyang Shanzun asked worriedly: "Can you still go on stage tonight?"

Yang Lixin gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

"Don't force it. If it doesn't work, let Group B go."

Yang Lixin shook his head and said stubbornly: "Director, I'm really fine, the drama is huge!"

Ou Yanshanzun smiled and said: "Okay. The show is as big as the sky, and it looks a bit horny!"

Yang Lixin smiled brightly with gauze on his head.
