Chapter 7:
Liang Wen sighed as she browsed the news.
Yinhe Brokerage Company was suspected of contract fraud, detention, and intimidation, and was taken down by the police in one fell swoop. From the boss to the assistants, all were locked up in the detention center. It is said that one of its artists committed suicide by jumping off a building under pressure, revealing a corner of the shady part of the galaxy. Liang Wen was considered the last artist signed by Yinhe, and before she was squeezed out by her, the company closed down due to gangster involvement
Zuo Xing hated that iron could not be made into steel, "Wenwen, you are not experienced in the world, how can you sign such a brokerage contract? It will kill you."
Liang Wen was used to being blamed, so she simply kept silent.
"Why?" Ying Shunchen asked calmly.
Zuo Xing shut up in time and turned around.
Lack of money?
After the two got married, he paid Liang Wen a fixed amount of living expenses every month, which was enough for her daily needs of study and life.
And the teacher also left some inheritance, it stands to reason that she shouldn't be short of money.
Ying Shunchen overturned this conclusion, seeing her face tense, his voice softened a lot, "Because of your father?"
Liang Wen shrugged and took the blame, "Blame me for being stupid!"
Ying Shunchen: "..."
The atmosphere in the car was suddenly awkward.
Fortunately, Ying Zhai will arrive soon.
The car drove directly into the basement, and the three of them took the elevator upstairs.
Ying Zhai is a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle, and it is a rare Chinese-style courtyard.
As soon as the three of them got out of the elevator, a black figure rushed over and cried, "Mr. Ying, you are here. The old man fell ill again."
Liang Wen was shocked, so serious?
Ying Shunchen frowned, "What's the matter? When I called Grandpa in the morning, he was fine."
Several people hurried to the bedroom.
The man just now was the butler of Ying's house, named Jing Hai, who has been with Mr. Ying for decades, and is considered half of his family.
He said while running, "This morning, the old man was still talking about you coming back, and asked me to find good tea to make for you to drink. Unexpectedly, I had a heart attack. I took Suxiao Jiuxin Pills, and now Dr. Zhang is watching over me." .”
Ying Shunchen pursed his lips and walked into the bedroom.
Mr. Ying half closed his eyes, panting slightly, lying on the bed. As soon as he heard someone coming in, he turned his face with difficulty, and stretched out a hand, trembling.
Ying Shunchen stepped forward to hold it, and just called out to Grandpa, but was thrown away by Mr. Ying.
"I don't want you to hold it. Where's Wenwen?"
Ying Shunchen: "..."
Zuo Xing suppressed a smile and pushed Liang Wen, "I'm calling you."
With a dark face, Liang Wen had no choice but to step forward.
Mr. Ying's chrysanthemum face suddenly burst open, he held Liang Wen's hand, and said aggrievedly: "Wenwen, if you don't come to see me, I'll be sick."
Liang Wen laughed dryly, and squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth, "Grandpa, I... haven't come here?"
Old Man Ying wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his other hand, "I know you hate Shun Chen. I hate you too! He abandoned the two of us to go abroad, and now he still has the face to come back!"
"..." Liang Wen: This old man is taking a slant of his sword. How could she propose a divorce after stealing her lines?
Ying Shunchen's face was full of embarrassment, Zuo Xing lowered his head and shook his shoulders.
The actor's acting skills are good, and the actor's grandfather's acting skills are even more explosive.
"Fortunately, he is back now. If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. I think he can still be rescued." Old Master Ying commented while staring at Ying Shunchen.
"come over!"
Ying Shunchen stepped forward obediently.
"Hold Wenwen's hand."
Ying Shunchen snorted, and took Liang Wen's hand from his grandfather very naturally.
Liang Wen: "??!" I always feel that something is wrong.
"Shunchen, Wenwen has been alone for the past two years, and I miss you so much." Mr. Ying's trembling voice became excited, and his face turned rosy.
Liang Wen Waterfall Khan: ... the old man still uses a bunch of words.
"You are not allowed to leave when you come back."
Ying Shunchen nodded, "I'm not leaving!"
Mr. Ying laughed in satisfaction, and said softly to Liang Wen: "Wenwen, we are not angry. Grandpa has trained him for you. If he dares to wrong you again, you should tell grandpa. Grandpa will deal with him."
Liang Wen didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Mr. Ying immediately covered his left chest, "Oh, oh, my heart hurts so much. I can't do it..."
Immediately, the chickens were flying like dogs, and Doctor Zhang came up and pinched and pinched.
Mr. Ying finally managed to catch his breath, breathless, distraught, "I am really suffering. My son died early, my grandson was disobedient, and my granddaughter-in-law will run away at any time..."
The disobedient Ying Shunchen turned to look at Liang Wen, "Wenwen, didn't you say that you have something to say to grandpa?"
Liang Wen gave him a blank look, how could she tell in such a situation?
I could only squeeze out a bitter face, "Grandpa, I didn't want to run away..."
Mr. Ying sat up immediately, full of air, "That's great. Grandpa is waiting for your words."
Liang Wen: "..." Damn. Jump into the pit!
Jing Hai took out an antique wooden box.
Mr. Ying: "This is the dragon and phoenix bracelet my father ordered for Shun Chen's grandma when she married me. The style is a bit outdated, but...it is heavy."
Liang Wen couldn't laugh or cry. The bracelet looked really heavy, and she was afraid that if she took it, not only would her wrist be crushed, but she would even be unable to speak clearly.
"You take it. If Shun Chen doesn't listen to you, take out the bracelet and make him kneel down. Seeing the bracelet is like seeing me."
Ying Shunchen immediately fell into sweat.
Mr. Ying ignored him, and solemnly handed the box to Liang Wen.
Liang Wen was forcibly accepted by Shangfang's bracelet, feeling very heavy.
Jing Hai took Liang Wen to the garden.
Only the grandpa and grandson are left in the bedroom.
Ying Shunchen said helplessly: "Grandpa, why didn't you tell me about giving the bracelet in advance."
Mr. Ying was so angry that he blew his beard, "I'm not good at acting with you, and you still blame me! Whoever's wife will chase after you. I'm too busy, right?"
Ying Shunchen's black line, "Wenwen is also your granddaughter-in-law. She listens to you."
Mr. Ying rolled his eyes at him, "Once or twice is fine, if you still treat her like this, you might run away someday."
Ying Shunchen didn't say anything.
Thinking of her failing the graduation exam, thinking of her appointment with Yinhe's absurd manager...
So stupid... let's keep it for another two years.
Mr. Ying sighed, "You..."
On the way back from Yingzhai, Liang Wen, who didn't know that she had been defined as a stupid daughter-in-law, put on the dragon and phoenix bracelet and lifted it up to feel the weight.
The corners of Ying Shunchen's mouth twitched, the master who cheated his grandson.
At this time, Liang Wen's cell phone rang.
It was Mei Zhou calling.
"Wenwen, rehearsals for the dance drama will start in a week. Your foot injury is still not fully healed, so you are not allowed to go anywhere this week. You are being raised at home, do you hear me?"
Liang Wen had an obedient face, "Okay, Teacher Mei."
"Send the script to your email first. Please take a good look. I'll see you at the rehearsal next Monday." Mei Zhou was clean, and hung up the phone after explaining the matter.
Zuo Xing looked curious, turned around and asked, "Wenwen, what's the matter? Is there something good?"
Liang Wen hummed, "Let me participate in Teacher Mei Zhou's dance drama."
Zuo Xing wowed, "It's hard to get a ticket for Mei Zhou's dance drama. Save a ticket for me when the time comes."
Seeing Ying Shunchen's downcast eyes, he quickly added, "Two. Two."
Liang Wen: "Okay."
After sending her home, Ying Shunchen left.
Just as he pulled on his slippers and entered the room, the phone rang.
Liang Wen looked down, Ying Shunchen transferred 500,000 yuan.
Tut tut. Originally, she was given 10,000 a month, but now it is fifty times more.
guilt? Repay your favor?
Liang Wen pursed her lips, remembering that there was only more than two thousand yuan left on the card, and felt that the five hundred thousand yuan came in time.
In fact, there are also wages for participating in dance dramas, but the rehearsals have not started yet, and there are still a few days before the money is paid.
***
Liang Wen, who was trying to be self-reliant, opened her notebook and downloaded the dance drama script sent by teacher Mei Zhou.
Dance drama uses dance as a form to narrate stories and express emotions. All in all, it is an externalized dance language. Compared with novels that are good at expressing the psychological activities of characters, dance dramas are characterized by the emotional display of visual space.
This dance drama created by Mei Zhou is called "Maiko".
The story happened in the Jiade period of Nanling Kingdom. It tells the love tragedy between Li Er, a maiko who is excellent in color and art but has a tragic fate, and Ran Xia, a guard who waits silently with deep roots in love.
In the first year of Jiade, Nanling defeated Dayong, the neighboring country, and the king of Nanling took a fancy to Lier, a dancer in the Yonggong Palace, and brought her back to Nanling. On the way back to the country, the maiko and the guard Ran Xia made a promise to each other for life.
The king of Nanling killed prisoners and offered sacrifices to the dead, and held a grand banquet in the palace. Li'er performed dances to cheer her up, her looks and dances were captivating, so she was favored by the Nanling King and brought into the palace as a concubine.
Li'er is well-clothed and well-fed, but she misses Ran Xia deeply.
The king of Nanling died of illness, and the prince of Nanling ascended the throne. The new king ordered the concubine to be buried. Li'er performed a sad dance before the ceremony, which won the favor of the new king and pardoned him.
The new king is absurd, and the dancers don't stop. Li'er's feet were bruised and scarred, Ran Xia lost her manners in front of the imperial court, was maimed by a stick, and was exiled to guard the spirit in the imperial mausoleum. Li'er bid farewell, and the two hugged each other and cried.
When a neighboring country comes to court, the new king orders Li'er to compose a new dance. Li'er made men's clothes and pretended to be the new king, mocking him for his extravagant lewdness and militarism.
The new king was angry and wanted to execute Li'er. Ran Xia escaped from the emperor's tomb after hearing the news. Li'er presented it as a gift. Ran Xia knelt on the ground to say goodbye, and cut off his hair to show his ambition.
The whole dance drama adopts a three-act plot structure. The first act "love": the hero and heroine will be in love for life on the way to subjugate the country. The second act "Broken Love": The hero and heroine are in the harem but separated by power. The third act "Love Jue": The heroine mocked the new king and was stabbed to death, and the hero died in love with his hair cut off.
At the same time, Teacher Mei Zhou sent a lot of references and learning videos. Although this dance drama is an overhead history, the overall setting, costumes, and dance features correspond to those of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Therefore, a lot of content in the documents and videos is related to the history of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
For a week, Liang Wen ordered takeaway three meals a day, and went to bed until midnight. Other than that, I was all reading materials, watching videos, figuring out the plot of the script, smacking the mood of the heroine, getting into the state little by little.
A week later, the rehearsal field.
Liang Wen met Pei Yu, a male dancer who played the male lead guard Ran Xia. He is the head of the dance academy, has rich experience in dance drama, and has cooperated with director Mei Zhou many times.
Liang Wen was just a fledgling, and was appointed by Teacher Mei Zhou as the heroine. She was very anxious. When she saw Pei Yu, she hurried forward to say hello and beg for more care.
Pei Yu has the same name as him, a gentle and jade-like man, and said modestly: "This dance drama challenge is quite big. There are many solo dances and duet dances alone. I also feel the pressure. Let's make progress together."
Liang Wen broke into a sweat when she heard this. Even the chief said it was difficult to handle, and it was even more difficult for her as a newcomer.
At this time, a familiar voice sounded from behind, "Wenwen, Senior Brother Pei Yu, you guys came here very early."
Liang Wen straightened her back and turned around slowly.
Xi Jiameng was so alive that she appeared here with a smile on her face, as if the friendship between the two was still there.
Pei Yu laughed and said, "Yesterday, Teacher Mei Zhou said that the heroine's B role is you. I still can't believe it. You are a big star now, and you still come to this thankless dance drama?"
Dance theater actors are all hard-working with real guns on stage. It can't be like acting in a movie or TV series, if the performance is not good, it will be NG. Moreover, dance theater actors are no more famous than film and television drama stars, and their income is high, so there are very few people in this industry.
Moreover, the B corner of a dance drama is the same as that of a musical drama. You have to learn the same things as the A corner, but you may not have the opportunity to play, which is even more thankless.
Xi Jiameng looked embarrassed, "Brother, you are joking. I am not a big star. Teacher Mei Zhou can agree with me to be the B role. I am too happy. How dare I pick and choose."
After finishing speaking, she stepped forward and took Liang Wen's hand, her eyes turned red instantly, "I finally begged for this opportunity to act in this dance drama with you, Wenwen, please forgive me? Don't be angry with me again. "
Liang Wen forced out a smile, pulled Xi Jiameng back to the corner, and said in a low voice, "Xi Jiameng. I told you not to act in front of me. I don't like that. Besides, you are just my substitute. I will stand on the stage well, but you will never have a chance."
The author has something to say:
There are many dance dramas at Station B, and interested little angels can go and see them. "Zhaojun's Outing of the Frontier" and "Du Fu" are recommended.
