Chapter 252

The direct disciples he has taught are all extraordinary.

Thinking this, he also asked out of curiosity.

"What does Fifth Brother want from me?"

Bai Xiao Ling smiled and then spoke.

"The tunes you've presented these past few days have given the three major folk orchestras a huge boost in fame."

"Fifth Senior Brother is so jealous his eyes have turned red."

"Now it's heard that you have a lost traditional Peking Opera piece, so..."

Damn! Su Meng was completely stunned.

He had just casually said a few words in the live stream, and it stirred up the National Peking Opera Academy?

For a moment, he even felt a bit of a headache.

"Fifth Brother~~~"

Calling back, Su Meng's voice lacked some of its previous confidence.

"No, you are my Great Uncle Five!"

"Xiao Meng, we're not outsiders, so I'll just say it straight."

"If you can hand over that play to our Third Troupe, I'll call you Great Uncle Five from now on!"

These words left Su Meng suddenly silent.

Shen Liangjun felt uneasy in his heart and quickly added.

"Xiao Meng, even between close brothers, accounts must be settled clearly; regarding the fees, certainly..."

"Sigh~~~" Su Meng let out a long sigh and said helplessly.

"Fifth Brother, why talk about money?"

"The main thing is that this traditional Peking Opera... it's a bit so improper."

"So improper?" Shen Liangjun was instantly baffled.

"Can Peking Opera be so improper?"

"Could it be influenced by the Land of the Rising Sun, creating some kind of romance action film?"

"But that doesn't make sense either; during the Qianlong era, there was no such thing..."

"Hiss... Could what that old witch Cixi liked be some kind of boudoir secret play?"

Damn!

Su Meng was directly stunned; why is it that none of these older brothers and sisters are proper?

"Forget it, Fifth Brother, I won't say anything more."

"I'll add you on WeChat and send you the script; you can read it yourself..."

"Damn!"

Shen Liangjun glanced at his phone and jumped up in shock.

"Old Shen, what's wrong? Is this script not good?"

A middle-aged man nearby quickly asked.

Shen Liangjun took several deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.

"Troupe Leader, I've sent the script to the group chat; everyone, please take a look."

"This... is truly damn so improper!"

The Troupe Leader picked up his phone in confusion, glanced at the title, and was instantly dumbfounded.

His speech even became a bit stuttering.

"This... what is this thing?"

Seeing the Troupe Leader's expression, everyone in the room was also baffled.

What kind of earth-shattering play could surprise you, a great Troupe Leader like this?

One by one, they quickly picked up their phones and opened the group file, instantly stunned.

Someone instinctively read a few lines of dialogue from the script.

This almost made everyone in the room spit out a mouthful of old blood.

This is... Peking Opera?

Whose Peking Opera is this so improper?

Immediately, everyone started talking all at once.

"I thought there really was some lost traditional Peking Opera piece, but it turns out... isn't this just parody?"

"After all, he's an outsider; how could he understand the profound depth of Peking Opera?"

"Peking Opera is an art; how can it be used for parody?"

"Exactly, Troupe Leader... Troupe Leader?"

Someone then realized that the Troupe Leader, at some point, had fallen into deep thought over the script.

Shen Liangjun pushed him, and he finally came to his senses.

He then spoke with a complex tone.

"This play isn't long; although it has only four characters, it includes Sheng, Dan, Jing, and Chou all together."

"Moreover, the lyrics not only observe tonal patterns and rhyme, but the content is also witty and accessible."

"A bit interesting..."

What? A whole group of people were instantly stunned.

Director, are you serious?

You actually find this farcical performance interesting?

The Director steadied himself before continuing.

"Recently, you must have noticed."

"Although Su Meng's 'Getting Up Early to Collect Manure' was a parody, it drew many people's attention to Yu Opera."

"Peking Opera has been in dire straits since its inheritance; many young people consider it outdated."

"This play may seem farcical, but it will also draw many young people's attention to Peking Opera."

"Personally, I think... it might be worth a try."

Hearing the Director speak this way, everyone fell silent.

After a long while, many quietly nodded, agreeing with the Director's viewpoint.

The Director's gaze swept across the faces of the people around him, and he issued an order.

"Old Shen, contact Teacher Su; we... want to try this play!"

"I will sing the Jing role myself."

"Teacher Zhao, you sing this Dan role; Teacher Lu, you try the Chou role."

He named these two, both famous stars of Troupe Three.

As for himself, needless to say, as the Director, he was the undisputed leading star of Troupe Three.

"As for the Laosheng, let..."

"Director!" Shen Liangjun hurriedly interrupted him.

"Su Meng said he wants to sing this Laosheng role himself..."

"I'm furious! How could this not kill him?"

Inside a luxurious mansion, Hua Chenyu violently swept everything off the coffee table onto the floor.

Then he plopped onto the sofa, panting heavily with rough breaths.

The agent sat nearby, his face also looking rather unpleasant.

It was originally a perfect hand of cards.

But who would have known that Su Meng's songwriting ability was so godlike?

Not only did he write pop songs with masterful skill, but he could even write large-scale traditional Chinese orchestral pieces!

Who could have imagined that?

Glancing at the furious Hua Chenyu, the agent's heart also harbored a wave of resentment.
