Chapter 566 Teaching Opera
"The birthday banquet has already started, hasn't Chairman Mu arrived yet?"
"I don't know. There must be something delayed?"
"Maybe he's still changing clothes. After all, it's his birthday party, so he needs to be more meticulously prepared."
"Too"
"I heard that Chairman Mu invited several celebrities to perform today. Maybe he wants to make the finale?"
""
Several guests were communicating privately. At this moment, everyone's attention was basically on the stage. Only a few people noticed that a figure in red was slowly walking towards here carrying an oil-paper umbrella.
Kong Baosheng, who was eating small cakes at the table, saw Chen Ling coming, stuffed the rest of the cake into his mouth, and ran over quickly.
"Sir, you are finally back. I'm almost full!"
Chen Ling smiled slightly and said, "Did nothing happen during my absence?"
Kong Baosheng thought seriously, "Yes."
"What?"
"Several very beautiful female stars came to talk to me, and they all came to ask about Mr. They seemed to want to make friends with him." Kong Baosheng blinked, "Let me tell you, sir, you look better than Mr. Those top men look so much better!”
"Did you answer?"
"No, I told them that if they want to get to know you, they will come to you myself." Kong Baosheng thought for a moment, "By the way, a few of them seem to have to perform on stage. I'll point them out to you later! They all look good. So beautiful.”
Chen Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
After the host on the stage warmed up, a male singer came on stage. As the speakers on both sides of the stage began to play music, melodious singing began to echo over the venue.
At the same time, bursts of excited screams sounded faintly from outside the manor, and it seemed that many people were shouting the singer's name outside.
Mu Chunsheng's birthday banquet was originally a grand event, and some of the guest lineups had been announced long ago. Although some of the die-hard fans of the celebrities were not eligible to enter, there were quite a few people who cheered from a distance outside the manor. . Even if you can't see anyone, just listen.
The security of the Beidou Consortium did not deliberately drive them away. After all, this also demonstrated the influence of the Beidou Consortium to a certain extent. It enlivened the atmosphere without disturbing the social interaction of the distinguished guests in the manor.
Chen Ling stood outside the crowd and casually took a glass of wine from the passing waiter, as leisurely as if she were a real guest at the banquet.
Not far away from him, Director Wang Jincheng was standing there stiffly, scanning the surroundings with vigilant eyes, seemingly still looking for traces of Li Ruohong, and looking up at the sky from time to time.
I don't know if it was Chen Ling's illusion, but it seemed that the sky was getting darker from just now, as if dark clouds were silently gathering in the sky.
"Hello, I'm Lu Aizhen. I don't think I've seen you before." While Chen Ling was leisurely watching the performance, a woman in a gorgeous dress walked up to him, her slightly raised lips filled with enthusiasm. .
When Kong Baosheng saw her, he silently bowed his head to Chen Ling, indicating that this was one of the people who came to ask him just now.
"Jinghong Tower actor, Lin Yan." Chen Ling responded politely, "I just entered the main city not long ago."
"I've never heard of Jinghonglou. Have you signed a contract with the company?"
"Signed with Huang's consortium."
"The Huang Family Group has good taste." Lu Aizhen looked at the almost perfect face and couldn't take her eyes away for a while. She took the initiative to hand a note to Chen Ling, "This is my private address. If you have time, Welcome to have some afternoon tea together.”
"Thanks."
Chen Ling symbolically accepted the note and continued to watch the performance, as cold as an iceberg.
Seeing this, Lu Aizhen pursed her lips in boredom, then turned and left. After all, she was a well-known actress in the main city, so naturally she would not ask for trouble.
After Lu Aizhen left, several figures came to talk to Chen Ling one after another. Even when several actresses came on stage to perform, it was difficult to take their eyes away from the red-clad figure in the crowd. The little-known Chen Ling Ling, suddenly attracted the attention of many people.
Of course, under Chen Ling's cold face attack, no one could chat with him for more than five sentences before leaving happily.
In the crowd, an old man who was also wearing a theatrical robe snorted coldly when he saw this.
"Young man, where do you come from?"
Chen Ling looked at him, with a flash of doubt in his eyes. At the same time, Kong Baosheng seemed to recognize him, and whispered in Chen Ling's ear: "He is Li Hanxiang, the oldest in the main city." When my grandma opened Jinghong Tower in the early years, he was also an actor in the building. It is said that he was not very popular at the time. Later, he was poached by a large consortium and gradually became famous by having scandals with female stars. Now that he is older, and there are fewer and fewer people singing, his qualifications are getting higher and higher.”
Chen Ling's brows rose slightly. He had heard from Kong Baosheng before that there were many famous actors in Jinghong Tower in the early years. It seemed that Li Hanxiang was one of them. However, the method of becoming famous was not glorious.
"My hometown is in a small town outside the main city. I just entered the main city this year." Chen Ling answered politely.
The old man looked him up and down, the disdain in his eyes getting stronger and stronger. He put his hands behind his back and spoke unhurriedly:
"Oh, it turns out you came from the countryside, so who did you study under?"
Chen Ling thought for a while, "I studied under an unknown actor."
"Unknown actor?" The old man sneered, "I think the Huang Group is getting poorer and poorer. Where did the unknown actor come from, and he has to be promoted to the stage?"
"Wild actor? You are the wild actor!" Kong Baosheng naturally didn't like this traitor from Jinghong Tower. When he heard that he dared to scold Chen Ling, he immediately became anxious and pointed at his nose to scold him back.
This yelling instantly attracted the attention of several guests around him. When the actresses who had just been chatting with Chen Ling saw this scene, they roughly guessed what happened, and looked at Li Hanxiang with disdain and disgust.
What kind of person is Li Hanxiang? Almost everyone in the circle doesn't know it. Let's not talk about the scandals in the early years. Basically everyone here has done it. After he became famous, he secretly tricked those who have not yet become famous. Their fame has almost ruined the public. .
Chen Ling raised her hand to stop him, looked at Li Hanxiang calmly, and said slowly:
"Senior, what advice do you have?"
"Young man, listen to my advice. Not everyone can sing opera. Don't think that you can do it well just because you have a good skin. You have only learned a few songs and practiced martial arts for how many years? Do you know how to sing? How do you write four characters?" The old man seemed to enjoy the feeling of teaching the younger generation. He put his hands behind his back and said calmly.
Chen Ling raised her eyebrows, but still didn't say anything more. Instead, she smiled and nodded perfunctorily:
"Well, that's what senior said."
Li Hanxiang glanced at the stage. A dance performance had just ended. The host slowly came onto the stage and announced the next opera performance.
Li Hanxiang stroked the sleeves of his gorgeous opera robe, straightened his back, and walked slowly towards the stage in a posture.
"Young man, let me teach you what drama is."
