"What is this? A new song written for me?"
"Haha, you will know if you take a look. Here!"
Li Yiran doubtfully took the manuscript paper handed over by Sun Tao. She frowned as soon as she took the paper. There was no music score, and judging from the format, it was not lyrics.
One page, a few hundred words.
It's not lyrics, it seems to be a synopsis of the plot.
"What is this, a synopsis? Aren't you going to make a movie about campus love soon..."
Li Yiran glanced at Sun Tao angrily, which means can you finish one thing well? You are eating the food in the bowl, looking at the food in the pot, and thinking about what is on other people's tables.
Sun Tao smiled awkwardly and said, "It's not a movie script. Let's read it first and then talk about it."
Li Yiran took the manuscript paper and sat next to Sun Tao.
……
In 1937, the Japanese used gunfire to push the Chinese people into dire straits.
In a county called Anyuan in southern Jiangxi, fortunately, the war has not been implicated here yet. The people here work at sunrise and rest at sunset as usual, and they are peaceful.
However, it is usually very quiet on the eve of a storm.
In a theater in the county town, a group of actors with Pei Yanzhi as the main performer performed classic opera programs such as "The Peach Blossom Fan" every day.
At this moment, the country is suffering destruction...
One day in the same year, the war did not let go of Anyuan County.
. . .
The fire was getting fiercer and fiercer, but on the stage, the drama did not stop.
The drama has started and must not stop until the end of the song, regardless of whether anyone is listening in the audience!
……
Li Yiran finished reading the seven to eight hundred words in less than three minutes, but she still held the manuscript and never put it down.
A bitch is ruthless, an actor is meaningless;
Actors are juxtaposed with bitches. In the early years, there was not much difference between male actors and bitches in the theater.
They are all low-life industries, and they have seen all kinds of filth in them. Li Yiran actually does not agree with her identity that much. Of course, it is much better now. In the past, when she went to the countryside to perform with her cousin, she was regarded as raped and had all kinds of problems. Oil once made her deeply hate the profession she was engaged in.
After a while, Li Yiran raised her head and asked, "What is this?"
Li Yiran: Could it be that it was a script he tailor-made for himself? But, I never thought about developing into an actor.
"The background of the song, don't you know that "Silk Opera" also has a story background?"
Li Yiran nodded, "I know, the story of the old man and the puppet. After reading the story and listening to the song, I felt that the lyrics were so well written. Hum, (￢︿￢☆), such a good song was not written for me. ”
Sun Tao smiled slightly and said, "Do you know the source of the story?"
"I heard it came from an ancient book from the Song Dynasty. When we were chatting in the company, we said, it doesn't matter that you are talented. How can you read so many books even if you graduated from a technical secondary school?"
Sun Tao chuckled, "You are so talented, who are you comparing yourself to?"
Li Yiran lightly kicked Sun Tao in the calf, "Go away, you are so sanctimonious, if they know you are so perverted..." Sun Tao laughed, "They will line up to attack me, you must help me keep the secret. ”
Sun Tao then said sternly: "Actually, everyone is spreading lies. The Song Dynasty book "Menglianglu·Hundred Opera Skills" only mentions the puppet show, and there is no story about the old man and the puppet at all.
In layman's terms, "Menglianglu" is a documentary that tells the story of society. I made up the story. ”
"Making up stories? You?"
"Yes, you have to recognize my identity. First of all, I am an expert who writes songs part-time. After the story is written, the songs will come out."
Li Yiran was stunned for a moment, then immediately threw herself into Sun Tao's arms and asked in surprise: "Then, is there a song behind the story you gave me?"
"Of course, the song is called "Chi Ling" but I can't give it to you yet..."
"Hmm~o(*￣▽￣*)o, bad guy, are you going to say something again to make me behave well."
Sun Tao raised his hands, "I didn't say it, you mentioned it yourself."
——
Youleyuan Tongguo Shabu Shabu on Chaoyangmenwai Street is a newly opened shop.
Although it is a newly opened restaurant, it is an old restaurant that started making copper pot shabu-shabu in Xicheng decades ago.
Inside is a collection of Ming and Qing Dynasty-style antique furniture. The seats are partitioned by screens and wooden fences, providing good privacy.
It was already half past six when Sun Tao led Li Yiran into the store. It was just after dinner and the late night snack group had not yet arrived. There were many empty seats in the store. The waiter led the two of them to an empty seat, put down the menu and ballpoint pen, and said "Select" When he called me, he turned around and left.
Li Yiran chuckled and said, "Your reputation is not good, the waiters don't seem to recognize you."
"Why do I want them to know me? I'm not a celebrity. Come on, order first. Let me tell you, this copper pot hotpot mutton is easy to say, but you have to pay attention to how you eat it. The toppings that are served after it is served. First step.
After we finish ordering, the waiter will bring us four small plates of brown sugar, garlic, chopped green onion, coriander, and chopped pickled mustard..."
Shabu-shabu mutton, grilled mutton skewers, sour plum soup, cabbage, vermicelli, and frozen tofu.
The two chatted while eating, talking about the past and thinking about the future. Sun Tao ate happily, but Li Yiran looked worried.
Sun Tao knew what she was worried about, so he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and made a call.
Li Yiran asked curiously: "What?"
Sun Tao, "Look at how worried you are, you should live in the present and think less about the future. Do you know how the policy will develop? Maybe in three to five years, girls will be able to have children without getting married."< br>
Before he finished speaking, the phone beeped twice and someone answered the call.
"Hey, Brother Sun, did you remember me? What are you busy with now? Are you participating in the recording of "The Voice of China" in Jichun or studying at school?"
"Brother Ma, you don't care about me either. Am I planning to make a movie? I'm too busy to keep my feet on the ground."
"Hahaha" Ma Bo smiled awkwardly and skipped the topic. He couldn't help but didn't mention the movie at all.
"There's a gap between lines. I don't understand movies either. If you're filming a TV series, I'll definitely help you raise the price. To be honest, "If You Are the One" is so popular right now, and I don't envy "The Voice of China." br>
I'm going too far, but you remembered that I'm here. What's the matter? ”
Sun Tao put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, "It's something. Is there any big party in your stage recently? I wrote a new song and I want the singers from our company to show it at the party."
Ma Bo's tone was very relaxed, "There are many parties, you can do it at any time."
Sun Tao laughed and said, "I heard that it is rumored that I don't write many good songs, and my fame in lyrics and music depends on quantity. This song is the fruit of my hard work. Ordinary stage premieres would be inferior to my talents." (End of Chapter)
