Chen Lijun appeared behind the two, seeing them so intimate, almost leaning against each other.
Jiang Hua turned his head and glanced at her. This person had also just returned.
Had only rested for a short while, and immediately had to perform this big play.
This wasn't a simple small theater play like "New Dragon Gate Inn".
"He Wenxiu" was a traditional Yue opera masterpiece, performed on a big stage.
Before, Chen Lijun didn't have the opportunity to perform such a big play. But in the recent half year, her popularity had soared.
Her experience and technique were no problem. What she lacked was stage experience.
Little Yuan turned her head and glanced at her old classmate, her eyes full of smiles.
After over a decade of studying, Jun Jun was finally performing a major play. This was the ultimate pursuit of all actors.
But she immediately distanced herself from Jiang Hua.
"Jun Jun, my mom is sick. I need to go home and see her. Director Cai asked Jiang Hua to cover for a bit."
Jun Jun hurriedly asked, "Is auntie okay?"
"It should be fine. She's already been sent to the hospital. I'll wait for the play to start, see the situation, then rush over."
The play is greater than heaven.
This is the faith of opera people. Even if her mother is sick, she must persist until the start of the play, to see if Jiang Hua can fully take over. If Jiang Hua can't handle it, she still has to step up.
Jiang Hua turned back and started debugging again. He also had his own pride.
Behind the scenes, that's all. He had done backstage work hundreds of times, with sound engineering taking up a large part.
This was the position that belonged to those behind the scenes.
"Little Yuan, this, this, is the intermission music played first?"
Jun Jun also crowded over. Jiang Hua knew quite a lot of skills. He even knew sound control. Is there anything this guy can't do?
But after watching for a while, she felt bored and patted Jiang Hua's shoulder.
"Do a good job. Big sister is also going to rehearse."
This major play made everyone very nervous. Chen Lijun was also a novice.
Everyone needed to rehearse. Jiang Hua took off his headphones and put on a headset.
Now he was a sound engineer. Although it was only a rehearsal, all the necessary procedures had to be gone through.
An intense day began.
"Alright, start walking... First act, scene one."
The teacher's voice came through the headphones.
Jiang Hua immediately entered work mode.
Little Yuan covered her mouth to the side. This guy was really like a DJ. If he put on his big headphones.
That would be a DJ.
The rehearsal process went through scene by scene. Opera was not just the actors' brilliant performances.
It also required the close cooperation of musicians, backstage crew, lighting, stage art, and so on.
This was the charm of traditional opera.
Little Yuan went from giving guidance at the beginning to being surprised at the end.
She had also changed careers for quite some time, but Jiang Hua's proficiency was not inferior at all.
Of course, he still needed reminders on what to do for the next scene, after all, he wasn't an opera major.
But his proficiency with the equipment was not inferior to hers at all.
She was going to lose her job. Is there anything this guy can't do?
The rehearsal was finally completed. Jiang Hua went through the process seriously and felt it was okay.
He was very focused just now. He stretched out hard.
"Jiang Hua, not bad. Last time when you covered for Little Yuan, I knew you could do this."
Director Cai, Teacher Mao, and that slacking Heavenly Queen stood behind Jiang Hua.
Jiang Hua was immediately unhappy when he saw his employee. This guy slacked off even more than him.
Is the company still going to operate? You might as well join Little Hundred Flowers too.
Hanging around other people's theater all day, not having her own company, while he as the boss is still busy like a dog all day.
"Jiang Hua, I'm already preparing to record a new album. Now I've come to the theater to find some inspiration."
Teacher Mao also immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, Xiaoqi has been working very hard recently."
This woman was a generation apart from Teacher Mao. Unexpectedly, they could become close friends, and she could even help cover for her.
You just spoil her. Now she's almost become an external member of Little Hundred Flowers.
"Alright, rest for a bit. The audience will be coming in soon."
Xiaoqi immediately clapped, "Great, I need to go find my seat. Haha, I finally get to see Jun Jun perform. I'm her fan."
Big sister, you're a heavenly queen, a person in your 30s, and you're still learning from others to chase stars.
But the opera circle is indeed worth chasing. Jiang Hua himself is a Jun-Xiao CP fan.
"Little Yuan, you go see your mom first. I'll keep watch here."
Teacher Mao brought over a stool and sat like a supervisor.
The grand elder of Little Hundred Flowers wasn't joking with you. Even Director Cai was her student.
At Little Hundred Flowers, her word was law. Jiang Hua also had to defer to her.
....
"He Wenxiu - Fortune Telling."
Chen Lijun, in the garb of a fortune teller, made it look like a dashing young gentleman.
The live audience burst into warm applause.
Chen Lijun's performance was truly excellent. He watched the entire performance from behind the stage.
But the audience sitting in the few rows in front of the sound control console discovered something incredible.
Everyone was fascinated by Yue opera and familiar with its backstage, especially Jun Jun's best friend Little Yuan.
This girl also had quite a few fans. Sure enough, in the first two rows of the audience, quite a few people frequently turned their heads to look for Little Yuan.
But they saw a man in big sunglasses sitting in the position, fiddling with the sound control equipment.
Beside him was also Little Hundred Flowers' biggest big-name supervisor, three-time Plum Blossom Award winner Teacher Mao.
This supervisor was also too big of a name.
In the entire Little Hundred Flowers, you couldn't find 10 people who could make her act as a supervisor.
Who was this person?
"Holy shit, Jiang Hua."
No matter how he disguised himself, he was still discovered.
But Jiang Hua was very focused now, following the prompts in the headphones and the reminders from Teacher Mao beside him.
What song was in the next scene, what music should be played.
I must say, female sound engineers are meticulous. Every scene, every scenario was compiled well.
When Jiang Hua himself worked backstage, he often made a mess of things.
After eating a few losses later, he gradually developed the habit of organizing, collecting materials, packaging them well, and numbering them.
He was just a person who didn't tidy up.
"Wow!"
The performance ended, and the entire venue exploded in thunderous applause.
"Chen Lijun! Chen Lijun!"
Is this the cohesive power of a top stream in Yue opera?
Admired, admired. Jiang Hua's last award ceremony caused a Black Sea incident.
Comparing the two, Comrade Little Chen is the top stream. Jiang Hua is no longer the top stream, haha.
For the opera circle, this was the biggest happy event.
Having its own top stream, the audience group was also getting younger and younger. The Yue Opera Troupe was developing in a good direction.
To recast the glory of Yue opera required the perseverance and pioneering of the younger generation of opera people like Qingqing, Jun Jun, Yun Xiao, Xie Yan, and so on.
The traffic Jiang Hua brought might only be a flash in the pan. Now the traffic could be considered stabilized.
The actors took their curtain call.
Jiang Hua played the last segment of curtain call music once, and the musicians below also began improvising.
This had already formed muscle memory. They had performed this play countless times.
Opera was the result of everyone's persistence and hard work.
Jiang Hua breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of thing couldn't be accepted next time. He was sweating profusely.
Suddenly, an audience member in front of the sound control console passed over a tissue.
"Jiang Hua, wipe your sweat. By the way, give me an autograph. I'm Seven Seven!"
