Chapter 254 Curtain call
morning.
Soft music echoed in the room.
Li Qingning is practicing yoga in the living room.
At this moment, the cell phone rang, and An Yuan called. The owner of his musical instrument shop brought several electric guitar compact effect pedals. As the saying goes, three generations of music players are poor, and burning the pedals is one of the culprits. He asked Li Qingning if he wanted it.
Li Qingning was indeed a little dissatisfied with the effector of her electric guitar, but she was too lazy to go there.
"Choose yourselves."
Li Qingning said a few more words, just after hanging up the phone, Sister Chen called again.
"you are pregnant?"
Sister Chen's first sentence made Li Qingning confused.
She looked at the shoulder, neck, and back stretching exercises she was doing, mainly to make the lines of the shoulders, neck, and back more comfortable, smooth and soft. She looked at the flat abdomen, "No?"
How could she not know.
Sister Chen said with a smile that she and Jiang Yang were photographed visiting the toy store.
"This joke is not funny."
Li Qingning was afraid that his family would misunderstand.
They went shopping after dinner last night and bought a Lego by the way.
Sister Chen asked her why she was still at home when the Jiangyang drama premiered today, "Didn't you come over to help? Does our company want to send flower baskets or something?"
"Need not."
Li Qingning said that everything should be kept simple.
Now that Jiang Yang has passed, she will go there in the afternoon.
"That's good for you."
Sister Chen hung up the phone. She is going to take her family to watch it tonight.
The house finally quieted down.
Li Qingning didn't do it, she suddenly thought of a melody, in order not to let it slip away, she took the notebook next to her and wrote it down with simplified notation, and continued to practice after finishing writing, and tidy up after practice, and the female teacher Zhang Yue who taught her also When she arrived, after going on strike to send the teacher away, she went to Longfu for lunch, made a phone call with Jiang Yang, and went back to practice the instrument again.
It wasn't until four or five o'clock that Li Qingning tidied up and changed into a dark gray silhouette suit with a short fluorescent color vest inside and wide-leg pants on the lower body. After putting on earrings, Li Qingning took the keys and went downstairs to drive Go to the small theater.
This was Jiang Yang's idea.
The little man wants to be alone, and he doesn't want her there, just let her go to watch the show.
Li Qingning was still a little disappointed.
She got in the car, threw her bag into the co-pilot, and just drove out of the community, she saw Aunt Niu walking towards the subway station. Li Qingning remembered that Jiang Yang said on the phone at noon that Uncle Wang invited Aunt Niu.
So, Li Qingning stopped the car, put the bag in the back seat, and invited Aunt Niu to go with her.
After arriving at the entrance of the alley outside the small theater, Li Qingning found that there was still a big problem here, that is, it was not easy to park. She searched for a while before finding a parking space, parked the car and walked to the small theater with Aunt Niu.
It was past six o'clock when we arrived at the small theater.
Li Qingning saw Jiang Yang and Shitou standing outside, talking with several leaders, and Uncle Wang was by his side, but Uncle Wang looked like his own person, and those leaders were probably from their unit, that is, the leaders of this small theater .
Li Qingning saw through Jiang Yang at a glance.
Although Jiang Yang tried his best to exchange pleasantries, as his bedside person, she could see that Jiang Yang was tired at a glance, just like the kind of person who knew that he couldn't stand in the cold, but couldn't find a topic, so he could only search his guts to find a topic.
When Li Qingning walked over, Jiang Yang let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
It is summer now, not to mention that he tends to sweat easily when he is nervous.
He is talking to the leaders about how to build a cultural brand plan if their program is selected and gets support—probably this, how can Jiang Yang have any preparations, let’s say some vague words, I don’t think it’s sincere enough, let’s talk about specifics , He really didn't think much about it, but luckily Uncle Wang and Shi Shi were there to fill it up.
After the leader saw Li Qingning, the smile that had been smiling all the time became even brighter.
The leader is waiting for Li Yu.
This is the big Buddha behind this small theater. Otherwise, how could they regard Jiangyang's drama as an incubation project? With Li Yu's signature, if they cooperate to create relevant cultural brands and ecology, they can easily achieve results.
Li Qingning came over, exchanged a few words with the leader, and said that it was getting late, and asked Shitou to lead them in and take their seats.
She took out the paper and asked Jiang Yang to wipe his sweat, "How is it?"
Jiang Yang said: "It's quite tiring."
They go in together.
Almost everyone has arrived.
Zhou Hao also helped hire a few reporters, red envelopes are indispensable.
The play begins.
Jiang Yang looked at Li Qingning beside him, Li Qingning smiled, put his hands on his knees, and covered them to play.
Jiang Yang felt a little more relaxed.
The play is about two hours long.
After the end, the audience began to applaud.
Although there were not many audiences, the applause was very enthusiastic. Teacher Wen and Jiang Nan next to him gave Jiang Yang a thumbs up.
Jiang Yang's heart was relieved.
At this time, the actors took the stage in groups to call the curtain in the same tune as the Beijing rhyme drum, and then stood in two rows in front and back, walked to the front of the stage together, and thanked the audience forward, right, and left.
Then, they retreated again, and then pushed Uncle Wang out, and he accepted the audience's applause again.
Uncle Wang may be old and his line skills are not that strong, but he sang vividly in the last part of the drama.
After Uncle Wang bent down to call the curtain, he did not retreat, but called all the actors to come forward, and then they greeted Shitou and Jiang Yang to go on stage together. This was not in the rehearsal and planning, because the stage of the drama always belongs to the actors , It is customary for them to accept applause, and directors rarely come to the stage to call a curtain call, let alone screenwriters.
But the applause of the crowd became more and more enthusiastic.
"Go."
Li Qingning patted Jiang Yang.
Jiang Yang was a little nervous.
But when he stood on the stage and saw Li Qingning's encouraging eyes, he felt at ease.
He looks around the audience.
Ms. Wen, Mr. Jiangnan, and Sister Chen stood up, applauded warmly, and smiled sincerely.
Jiang Yang let out a long breath,
As something that appeared in the textbook, he moved to this world, and it hasn't been destroyed yet.
This is good.
He bowed down to express his gratitude, and it suddenly seemed like a dream, and it was great to be the person who weaved the dream.
The audience applauded like thunder.
After he stepped down, he hugged Li Qingning, then took Li Qingning's hand, and thanked those who came to congratulate him.
Uncle Wang and their leaders are very satisfied.
Although the actor's performance is immature to the naked eye, it doesn't mean that he can't handle it. The key is that the script is good, especially the lines and conception, and it is well combined with opera - their unit is originally a Peking Opera troupe.
They feel that if they push forward, they have a great chance of being selected by the district.
Ms. Wen and Mr. Jiangnan were the last ones to leave.
Jiangnan shook his head: "Xiao Jiang, I really underestimated you."
This script is quite good.
Teacher Wen is the same. He thought Jiang Yang was playing for fun before, but he didn't expect him to play with such a good script.
Mr. Wen said that he could help polish the play. The actors are immature and the stage is not satisfactory.
Obviously there is the intention of cooperation.
Li Qingning felt that it was appropriate to discuss these things tomorrow, and after making an appointment to meet at Longfu tomorrow, Teacher Wen and the others also left.
The rest is time to celebrate.
Shitou took the members of the theater troupe, regardless of corner A, corner B, or the staff, to the reserved restaurant.
Jiang Yang didn't go.
He took Li Qingning's hand and walked to the parking place. After getting into the car, Jiang Yang completely relaxed.
He leaned on Li Qingning's shoulder, closed his eyes, "I'm a little tired."
He has been busy since morning, and all he does is layman's work.
There is also the heart tired.
He was afraid he would screw it up.
Li Qingning patted his head, turned on the music in the car, "Listen to music and relax."
I still owe one more.
It must be returned tomorrow.
