Early in the morning, an old man selling roasted sweet potatoes pushed his cart to the opposite side of the college gate. He put the horse dumplings on the cart on the ground, took out the radio he carried with him, adjusted the channel, and listened to the radio leisurely.
While watching the opera, a new day of work began.
For actors and directors who have graduated from Peking Opera and have traveled all over the country, when they talk about Peking Opera, their favorite thing in their memory is the smell of the old man's roasted sweet potatoes. The sweet smell can be smelled even from a distance.
Today is the moment that the Grade 98 students of the Peking Opera Performance Class are most looking forward to.
According to the good news announced by the acting class teacher a week ago, today, teacher Qi Guoli, a national first-level screenwriter and director of many well-known TV series such as "Emperor Kangxi", "Queen Lu" and "The Revolution in Progress", will come to
The acting class provides academic guidance to the students in the acting class and prepares to select several potential new actors to lead the new drama "Justice Detective".
For many freshmen in acting classes, if they have the opportunity to star in teacher Qi Guoli's work, it will definitely add a significant mark to their resume.
However, this chance is obviously not very high, because in addition to the freshmen from the class of 1998, the seniors from the sophomore, junior and even graduating classes are obviously also among the candidates selected by Teacher Qi Guoli.
But it does not rule out the possibility of being destined. Therefore, today's students in the 98-level acting class, both men and women, dress themselves up to be outstanding, hoping to be appreciated by great directors and have the opportunity to debut as soon as possible.
"Brother, do you want to buy it or not?"
In front of the sales car, the old man looked at the young man wearing a peaked cap and black casual clothes in confusion, and muttered in his mouth: "Are you a student here? I think you look familiar, you should be a freshman. I
Let me tell you, everyone who has eaten my roasted sweet potatoes says it is good, and great directors and stars like Xu, Zheng Jiaxian, Qi Guoli, and Deng Hong are all because they have eaten my roasted sweet potatoes.
, that’s how you got your famous name today…”
"real?"
The young man handed over a fifty-yuan note and asked the old man to pick one, but found that it was scalding hot. At this moment, the young man started shouting, and kept throwing the scalding sweet potatoes from his right hand to his left hand, grinning and saying
: "Hey, uncle, your roasted sweet potatoes are so hot. Why don't you let me take them raw? Give me the wrapping paper!"
The old man sat on the wooden pier and gave the young man some change. He smiled and handed an old newspaper to him: "The hotter, the better. The hotter, the more popular you will be in the future..."
"What nonsense is this!"
The young man wrapped the roasted sweet potato in a newspaper and squatted next to the old man. While eating, he pointed at the group of people gathered at the school gate and said, "Are there any leaders inspecting the school today? What are these students looking around for?"
"you do not know?"
The old man said and looked at the young man twice. After careful observation, he realized that this young man actually had a very handsome face: "Qi Guoli is coming today. He is a great director and screenwriter, and he also came from Peking Opera.
, they say they are preparing to select actors for a new drama. Look at these college students. They are all so handsome. They look like they want to act. Hey, little brother, I think you are also very good-looking. Don’t you study acting?
student?”
"Hey, I don't have that fate. I just study management. Do you know cultural management?" The young man took a bite of the steaming roasted sweet potato and said with a smile: "Are you mistaken? Let me tell you this, this
It's acting, it doesn't care about the face, it wants to see here."
The young man pointed to the position of his heart, "It's good to be careful and make the audience say yes. These days, everything is lacking except vases."
The old man had a smile on his face. After living for such a long time, this was the first time he heard someone hurt him like this.
At this moment, among the crowd of welcoming students lined up in front of the school gate, two girls walked out from the edge of the queue and walked towards the old man.
"Two roasted sweet potatoes, don't be too big, we won't be able to finish them all." One of the girls with slanted bangs and slightly thick lips said. Her eyes were extremely bright, which made her already look like a middle-aged girl.
He had a little extra energy. As soon as he finished saying this, he casually glanced at the young man in the peaked hat squatting next to him, his face widening, and his bright eyes suddenly widened.
However, she remained calm and nudged her companion with her elbow.
The companion is a short girl. Her figure is as thin as skin and bones. She looks weird and her voice is dull, "What's wrong?"
As soon as she asked this question, she followed the gaze of the girl with slanted bangs and looked at the young man in the peaked hat squatting next to him, eating sweet potatoes. This look instantly gave her a shiver.
Li Qing?
Why is he here?
Looking at Li Qing who was munching sweet potatoes with gusto, Bian Xiaoran's mouth opened wide. She and her companion Zeng Qi had just met this man from the back door of the school a few days ago, and today they met him again.
The two women looked at each other, with a little excitement in their eyes.
The uncle took the plate of roasted sweet potatoes out of the oven and let Bian Xiaoran and Zeng Qi pick two.
After the two paid the money, they didn't intend to leave. They followed Li Qing's example and squatted next to the uncle, peeling the sweet potatoes while looking at Li Qing intently.
Li Qing also noticed these two people, but he didn't care. After he was satisfied with destroying the sweet potatoes, he was about to find toilet paper. At this time, a short girl next to him took a pack of paper towels over in time: "This is wet paper."
Towel, it will be very clean."
Li Qing thanked him, took out a wet wipe, wiped his mouth and toilet paper, and then asked with a smile: "Are you from the acting class?"
Bian Xiaoran nodded quickly: "Yes, actually we have met before..."
Li Qing just asked casually. Hearing this, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, "Have we met before?"
"I've seen it!" Zeng Qi interrupted excitedly: "A few days ago, you were with a counselor at the back door of the school. At that time..."
As Zeng Qi told him, Li Qing suddenly remembered this matter.
At this moment, in front of the school, Gao Rongsheng, a grade 98 counselor in the Department of Arts and Management, appeared in sight.
When Li Qing saw this, he immediately stood up and waved to Gao Rongsheng.
Gao Rongsheng trotted over quickly, took out a certificate from his pocket, and threw it to Li Qing: "At this time, you can use my pass first."
"What about you?" Li Qing asked.
"I'm a teacher. The guards recognize me and have never checked my ID... Hey, who are these two?" Gao Rongsheng looked at Zeng Qi and Bian Xiaoran, feeling that they looked familiar, and soon he woke up.
Aren't they the two smoking bad girls we caught at the back door a few days ago?
He asked with some confusion: "Li Qing, do you know them both?"
"Teacher, we just happened to bump into Li Qing here." Bian Xiaoran said with a smile.
Zeng Qi also nodded repeatedly.
Gao Rongsheng didn't care about this. He was not his student, so there was no need to care. He turned to Li Qing and said, "Let's go. The classmates in the class heard that you are coming to class. They are all waiting anxiously."
Li Qing nodded, said goodbye to Bian Xiaoran and Zeng Qi with a smile, and walked towards the school gate with Gao Rongsheng. (To be continued.) 8
