At half past six in the evening, Tang Xiaobao arrived at the private room of a certain hotel on time.
There was only one lady sitting in the box. She looked to be in her thirties and was extremely well-maintained. Her real age might not be around forty.
This is Lu Yan.
"Mr. Tang, hello."
Lu Yan seemed a little excited.
She is forty-two years old this year, but her skin is still very shiny and elastic. She does look like a woman in her early thirties, and she has an aura about her that is very quiet and comfortable.
"Hello, Sister Lu."
Tang Xiaobao sat down while still observing Lu Yan.
He understood something in his heart.
Such a woman may not be his cup of tea, but most men of Lang Kun's age cannot resist such temptation.
She sits there quietly, which makes people feel comfortable looking at her. Sitting with her makes you feel peaceful inside.
"Have Director Lang told you everything?" Lu Yan asked.
Tang Xiaobao was stunned: "What did you say?"
"ah?"
Lu Yan poured wine for Tang Xiaobao and said, "Didn't he say, shouldn't we study which part to sing tonight?"
Tang Xiaobao was ashamed: "Oh, I have already said this."
"Come on, come on, let's eat first. Only when we're full can we get down to business."
Doing business?
Tang Xiaobao's mind started to wander again...
This sounds interesting.
Oh, okay, I thought too much.
Lu Yan raised her glass: "Come on, wish us a happy cooperation, let's have a drink."
"I'm still driving the car, so why don't I drink wine?"
Tang Xiaobao declined.
Lu Yan smiled and said: "Don't worry, you'll go to my house later. I live nearby, about two hundred meters away. When you go back after the things are done, you will have already woken up."
Tang Xiaobao was ashamed again: "Go to your house?"
Still finishing things...
It's so easy for people to misunderstand.
"What, is it inconvenient?" Lu Yan asked.
Tang Xiaobao said quickly: "I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you."
"It's convenient. My husband lives abroad all year round and won't come back for the Spring Festival this year. I live alone and my son is studying abroad, so I'm celebrating the New Year with his father there."
Not sure what she thought of, she sighed.
Oh, Tang Xiaobao understands.
No wonder he hooked up with Lang Kun and stayed alone in an empty room for a long time. This is called emptiness, loneliness and coldness.
Just a man and a woman alone, okay?
Of course, Tang Xiaobao would not ask this.
Anyway, he didn't think much about it.
It's just a matter of discussing which part of Huangmei Opera to sing. This is business.
"Okay, then drink less. I don't know much about red wine. I'm just a layman, so I'll just drink it as a drink."
Tang Xiaobao laughed at himself and drank it all with a gulp.
If you eat with him often, you won't make a fuss and it will become a natural habit.
But this was the first time Lu Yan had dinner with Tang Xiaobao, and she was also frightened by him.
She burst into laughter: "Mr. Tang, you are such a sweetheart. No wonder you and Director Lang have such a strong relationship."
Tang Xiaobao laughed: "What kind of sweet-tempered person are you? You just said that I'm a bastard."
"I didn't mean that."
Lu Yan poured Tang Xiaobao another glass of wine.
Next, the two of them chatted while eating.
Lu Yan is very good at chatting. She has lived for most of her life and has seen too many men. She is particularly able to take care of each other's emotions and thoughts, so chatting with her still makes Tang Xiaobao feel very happy.
She is definitely not like ordinary women who are too curious and always ask strange questions over and over again...
Through chatting, Tang Xiaobao learned that Lu Yan was a professional Huangmei Opera actress and was somewhat famous in her circle, but there were too many senior masters ahead of her, so she had to continue to struggle if she wanted to get ahead.
After all, this kind of singing also depends on talent.
After finishing the meal, Tang Xiaobao rushed to buy the order.
The two of them left the hotel, Lu Yan leading the way: "Go this way."
After passing through two alleys and crossing the road, we arrived at the entrance of a high-end residential area.
Entered the elevator and went straight to the eighteenth floor.
Lu Yan lives here.
Enter the house.
Tang Xiaobao looked around.
Well, the room is well decorated.
Clean, tidy, and very tasteful.
On the shoe cabinet, Tang Xiaobao found a pair of men's slippers.
"This house is quite spacious, and the location is not bad, very good."
Tang Xiaobao came to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked outside.
From here, you can see most of Yanjing, and the location is quite good.
Lu Yan is helping Tang Xiaobao make tea.
"He bought this a few years ago."
Tang Xiaobao went over and sat down.
"Mr. Tang, please have some tea."
"Ah, is there boiled water?" Tang Xiaobao asked.
Lu Yan was stunned: "How about I change the coffee for you."
Tang Xiaobao quickly waved his hand: "Let me tell you the truth, I don't know anything about tea, coffee, and red wine. I might as well drink boiled water."
Lu Yan covered her mouth and smiled, pouring him a glass of boiled water.
Just for a moment, the relationship between the two seemed to have become much closer.
After drinking tea, Tang Xiaobao coughed: "Then let's get down to business. I really don't understand Huangmei Opera at all. I haven't heard much of it before, and I don't know how to sing it at all, so you have to teach me."
"ah?"
Lu Yan was immediately dumbfounded.
"You really can't sing Huangmei Opera?"
Tang Xiaobao nodded and smiled bitterly: "I'm being pushed to the top by Director Lang. I really don't know how to do it."
"But the Spring Festival Gala is in a few days. Is it too late for you to learn now?" Lu Yan frowned.
She is a professional Huangmei Opera actor and has practiced for decades, so she knows the ropes best.
However, acting in an opera is completely different from singing.
For example, in Huangmei Opera, you first need to know how to pronounce a word, which is very different from the usual pronunciation.
Moreover, the way of luck and the way of pronunciation are also different from usual speaking.
There are enough knowledge points in this, and it would be difficult for a normal person to achieve anything within three to five years.
No matter how talented you are, you can still perform on stage after practicing for a year and a half, but that is limited to ordinary guest appearances. This is the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, the highest level stage in China. If you sing the wrong note, you will
How many colleagues have made me laugh.
She knew that Tang Xiaobao was a genius, but no matter how talented he was, how could he be so anxious about something like this and sharpen his sword before the battle? Isn't that nonsense?
Tang Xiaobao actually said: "Let's give it a try. There are still a few days left. You can teach me how to sing plum opera tonight. I'll learn the singing first, and then we'll pick out some tunes to practice tomorrow night. What do you think?"
sweat……
Lu Yan was speechless.
One night?
Are you going to learn it in one night?
What a joke!
Lu Yan decided to tell the truth.
"Mr. Tang, you may not know much about Huangmei Opera. There is a lot to learn. It may not be possible in one night."
Tang Xiaobao smiled and said: "How do you know it won't work if you haven't tried it? Let's do this. You only teach me all the knowledge points once. Then whether you can learn it or not is my business. Don't be so sad.
Try it first, you have to try it before you know, now you can only treat a dead horse as a live doctor, right?"
Lu Yan was right when she thought about it.
Gritting her teeth, she didn't think too much and said, "Okay, let me first tell you how Huangmei Opera came about..."
