Chapter 1569: Teasing Troupe

Liangcheng, Dongli Township.

On the red banner at the top of the stage was written 【Meihua Youth Opera Troupe】.

On the empty stage blocked by the curtain, a slightly plump middle-aged woman with a sorrowful expression was singing sadly:

【My child sees the bright moon and smiles...】

The audience was empty, and there wasn't a single spectator in the venue. Instead, several cars surrounded the place squarely, and the meaning of interception was particularly obvious.

There were only a few scattered old men and women, and young people holding mobile phones; the former listened to the opera, and the latter filmed the stage.

The young people muttered:

"This boss Wu is really not a thing! He comes back every day to brag about this hundreds of thousands and that millions, and he won't even give the 20,000 tail payment..."

"Exactly! Such a hot venue, the troupe said to pull a shed to shade the audience, and his mother was reluctant to spend money... Hmph! Sooner or later, he won't be able to keep his wealth."

"The opera troupe is so pitiful, their professional ethics are too strong! Even if the tail payment is owed, they still have to finish singing this opera..."

The old man next to him heard it and glanced at the video he was filming, and suddenly became radiant: "This boss Wu, I see he won't last long!"

"Right!" The young man suddenly felt he had found a soulmate: "You also think this kind of person has no morality, and the enterprise won't last long!"

The old man snorted: "That's because you young people don't understand the rules—since ancient times, opera troupes sing in all directions; the audience is one side for people, three sides for ghosts, and four sides for gods!"

"When people are gone, they still have to sing for ghosts and gods!"

"The opera had just started when he suddenly broke into their backstage and tossed about, saying he wouldn't pay, and telling them to block this side, and taking the audience to eat the banquet... The people are gone, so who is left to listen to the opera!"

Those who are just here to freeload on the drama don't count; they haven't even entered the venue yet!

Young man:... Don't understand, superstitious, but... don't know why thinking about it this way, it feels so refreshing!

Sure enough, Chinese people still need metaphysics to strengthen their psychological construction!

Once this was said, the other old men and women also nodded: "Yes! It has always been this rule; this little Wu doesn't do things properly, and doesn't have character as a person. You say, how can you make such a fuss on the day you celebrate your old mother's birthday? Is this celebrating a birthday, or inviting the King of Hell!"

There was also a middle-aged woman who chimed in: "Alas, that old lady herself has no virtue, relying on her son's money to float every day; is this a human thing to do? She deserves not to hear human opera."

Just as they were talking, they heard two old ladies with gray hair next to them shaking their heads and singing along with the stage:

【Unfilial slave, look up... who knew you didn't think about reading and had short-sightedness, you were greedy for play...】

Wait!

The young man reacted: "Shouldn't a birthday be joyful? Why is this singing so sad!"

The old ladies didn't care about being disturbed in their interest in singing; at this moment, their eyes were fixed on the stage—they hadn't heard it for many years, and they had almost forgotten the lyrics.

At this moment, they smiled: "This is a good opera; who in our village didn't love to order this when doing things in the past? Have you heard of 'Sanniang Teaches Her Son'?"

"It's just that the lyrics seem to have been changed... a lot are missing..."

The two discussed it, and the young man quickly searched online: "Now an opera lasts one or two hours, and many people don't have patience, and it's not conducive to promotion, so many singing segments have versions of one or twenty minutes."

"Oh, then I guess Old Lady Wu felt it was too much of a loss to invite people to sing only one opera for so much money, so she chose a few more!"

Is this the segment of 【Sanniang Teaches Her Son】, isn't it usually singing 【Respect Sanniang, don't be sad, sit steadily in the machine room】, or 【Teach the stubborn child, don't be arrogant, kneel steadily in the machine room】 these two segments?

The old mother tells how hard she worked, educates the stubborn son to wash his heart and change his ways, strive for success, and win the top prize... This is so inspiring.

But this segment on stage sings about the mother telling how hard she worked and blaming the son for not being successful; listen to these lyrics, how spicy! How appropriate!

No wonder they were joining the fun under the sun at noon; they were listening to this feeling!

Hey! This Old Wu family, today this face is lost, tomorrow when going to the market and visiting relatives, people from ten miles and eight villages will all know!

The young man next to him was also lifted in spirit, and then quickly wrote a title for the video—

【Wu Wu Chain Restaurant boss breaks into the opera troupe's backstage to harass female troupe members, threatening not to pay the tail payment...】

After posting, he looked at the progress bar, and looked at the videos of others who forwarded earlier than him and already had popularity, and then gave himself a satisfied like:

If they manage to latch onto this wave, they'll surely be able to manipulate the traffic!

……

And in the opera troupe's backstage, the young female troupe member was packing her clothes while feeling embarrassed: "I don't know when this money can be asked back..."

Because it was a small event, the party A asked them to run far away and only sing for three hours, so the price wasn't too high, just 40,000 yuan.

Now that it's been tossed like this, it's immediately half less, and this is still the Dragon Boat Festival!

Angry!

The older ones in the troupe had seen all kinds of storms: "What's this, we are an enterprise! Even if we go to court, he has no reason, and the money will arrive sooner or later! At most, it's just a matter of whether the singing is happy or not..."

Although that's what they said, they weren't those opera troupes with institutional nature, but enterprises that had already transformed and were responsible for their own profits and losses. Now that everyone was suffering for no reason during the holiday...

Just as they were sulking, hearing the opera lyrics from the front, they couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Teacher Zhang is really teasing..."

This segment sung was clearly not the inspiring segment set at the beginning, and after this segment ended, this act was considered over...

Just, only Sanniang scolding her son, others coming to persuade, without subsequent reversals and success.

In the troupe, everyone listened and couldn't help but be happy:

"This can't blame us; he specified the opera, and let us arrange the segments. But he didn't give money and came in to harass us, and scolded people..."

The opera can't stop once it starts, but their simple version, the front part of the opening music is basically universal, changing the music from the lyrics, it doesn't affect it at all!

Hey! What is needed is a sense of appropriateness.

Who said they have no temper! If opera singers don't have a hard temper, they can't survive the hard work since childhood; they have plenty of stubbornness!

The props also started to be organized and sent to the car; once Teacher Zhang finished singing and came down, the venue could be cleaned up and they could drive away; they wouldn't waste time with this kind of person!

The bullied little girl sighed, still feeling numb in her heart, and at this moment, she was considering editing the video to post on Douyin—the fans were only 300+, all acquaintances, and she didn't know if it could have popularity...

Suddenly, she received a message from the Douyin background!

【Hello, I am an employee of 【Qiaoqiao Farm】 in Yunqiao Village, Yuncheng; may I ask if you can come here to perform for the villagers and employees today? How do you charge?】

【Dragon Boat Festival Peace and Health!】

?? Wow, chapter 1600! I really love this fairy tale for adults! (But work is still hard)

? 【The troupe changing the singing segment is my private setting, it is fictional, it doesn't mean the real troupe is bad!】
