Chapter 325 Acting in the style of the ancients
The Mid-Autumn Festival will be soon after the National Day. Sister-in-law Song Jia brought Du Shuwen over to celebrate the festival together.
Du Shuwen was so afraid of Long Jiumei that she didn't dare to speak loudly.
Long Jiumei is a typical patriarch who is very indifferent to her daughter-in-law, and she only maintains a superficial equanimity to her granddaughter Du Shuwen.
Once Du Shuwen did something that she disliked, she immediately raised her eyebrows and became so frightened that Du Shuwen didn't dare to breathe.
All in all, the Mid-Autumn Festival meal was not a pleasant one.
Du Caige was helpless.
Even the ancient sages are not necessarily happy and harmonious in their families.
Every family has its cupboard.
He could barely protect Du Rongqi and Du Shuwen, and would not allow Long Jiumei to get angry at them.
But if he always hates Long Jiumei and makes Long Jiumei panic, it's not necessarily a good thing.
After all, she is still a patient, and the doctor also said not to put too much pressure on her and not let her accumulate negative emotions.
As for persuading Long Jiumei to change her mind?
The country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult.
Du Caige is just a mere mortal. Although he has a high emotional intelligence (uh...), things like housework are always cut off and messed up, so don't embarrass him too much.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Song Jia escaped with Du Shuwen.
Then, because the National Day holiday was not over yet, Du Caige did not send Long Jiumei back to the sanatorium for the time being.
As a result, the mother-daughter war between Long Jiumei and Du Rongqi was staged every day, and Du Caige couldn't be bothered.
When he was finally invited to He Tiantian, He Lao's house, his heart was filled with joy, and he almost cried with joy.
These few days, it is difficult for him to even have time to code properly. It will not take long for Long Jiumei and Du Ranqi to quarrel over trivial matters, and then let him be the referee.
How could he be a referee in housework?
He is not yet 35 and does not want to die young yet.
"Uncle, you're here!" Xu Qingya stood at the door as a disciple, welcoming the distinguished guests for her master.
Yes, Master He Tiantian insisted that Du Caige was a distinguished guest.
Xu Qingya could only stick her tongue out behind her back.
That ignorant, peaceful uncle? VIP?
"Little girl, your complexion is not very good. How did you lose weight?" Du Caige looked at her and said casually.
"Hey, don't mention it," Xu Qingya said with a sullen face, "Master said that I had gained weight in the crew before, and my figure was not beautiful, so I was forcing me to lose weight."
"You are the only one who can eat fat under such a difficult environment as the crew."
"Hee hee, uncle, why do you have no idea why I am fat? Who told us to add a fried steak and two drumsticks to the lunch box of our actresses?"
Du Caige didn't squint, "I don't know, it's not me, don't guess."
Xu Qingya smiled and said nothing, just pushed the door open and made a "please" gesture.
Du Caige had communicated with her on the phone before, and there is no need for old-fashioned etiquette to visit the door, just politely say hello to the old lady.
So after entering the door, he saw an old woman with silver hair sitting on the sofa, and he greeted him from a distance: "Hello, Mr. He! I have been famous for your artistic achievements for a long time, and I came to visit today! "
Mrs. He Tiantian is over 80 years old, and most of the old men and women of this age have degraded hearing.
However, Mrs. He Tiantian seemed to hear it clearly, stood up tremblingly, and responded with vigour: "Hello Xiao Du, your ears have become calloused recently hearing your name. Come in and sit. "
She didn't really "receive each other", and even sat still.
However, given her status, if she stood up to greet her, Du Caige would be a little bit unbearable.
It looks just right now.
Xu Qingya bent down and took a pair of cloth slippers for Du Caige, Du Caige glanced at it, the soles seemed to be in his hands.
I don't know whose handiwork? Mrs. He should not be able to do this kind of manual work at her age.
According to Bailing Encyclopedia, He Lao's only daughter and her husband died of illness in the early years, and she has no grandchildren.
Could it be that the nanny did it?
But Du Caige quickly glanced at the room and saw no trace of the second person's life.
Of course, it may also be given to her by a certain apprentice.
Old He had received more than a dozen disciples, and Xu Qingya was considered a closed disciple.
After changing his shoes, Du Caige came to the sofa unhurriedly.
"He Lao!"
Only then did he have the opportunity to seriously look at He Lao.
There is a big gap with the photos on Bailing Encyclopedia.
The photo hanging on Lark Encyclopedia depicts a dry old lady, aloof and serious.
But in front of her, there was a clear-headed old lady with a smile on the corner of her mouth. Although she was in her 80s, she looked very energetic, with a straight waist. The smile is also very kind.
Although they are the same person, their demeanor is very different.
She had some wrinkles and age spots on her face, but it wasn't ugly, she must have been a beauty when she was young.
"Don't be restrained, Xiao Du, just treat it as your own home, and take what you want to eat. If you don't mind, just sit next to me and talk with me."
Du Caige naturally obeyed and sat down next to the old lady.
There is no medicinal or stale smell on Mrs. He's body, but the clothes have a little lavender fragrance.
"See what you like to eat, you're welcome." Mrs. He pointed to a pile of snacks and fruits on the table.
"I, I like you as soon as I see you," Mrs. He smiled and spoke directly. "Such a beautiful person with clean eyes. You are a simple and good boy."
At this moment, Xu Qingya pulled out a small stool and sat beside her master's leg, and a pair of small pink fists were gently beating her master's legs.
Wen Yan smiled and said: "Master, don't be deceived by him. He is a big radish."
Hearing this, Mrs. He smiled and said, "Who didn't do anything absurd when he was young. And it's normal for a capable and handsome man to make some mistakes when it comes to women. I've inquired about you, Xiao Du, you He's responsible and loyal, and in our words, he acts like the ancients. That's good."
She was born in the old society. At that time, it was common sense for rich people to have three wives and four concubines. She was used to it.
And she is so old, she is no longer bound by all kinds of worldliness.
For her, the matter of men and women is not worth mentioning at all, only art is the eternal pursuit.
Du Caige smiled bitterly and said, "Lao He, you are too famous."
Mrs. He said unhappily, "Don't be so cautious in front of me. I heard that you and Lao Sun are both big and small, and they are having a lot of fun. Who are you going to show this ghost in front of me?"
Du Caige looked at her seriously, but saw that she didn't seem to be joking.
Du Caige's previous understanding of Mrs. He was only through Bailing Encyclopedia and Xu Qingya's narration.
In Xu Qingya's words, her master is the most strict and old-fashioned, with a very old-fashioned style.
Du Caige thought why was he always the kind of serious and rigid person.
But now it seems that it may be a misunderstanding.
He couldn't help but look at Xu Qingya.
But she saw Xu Qingya sticking out her tongue quietly, as if she was saying: Don't look at me, Master is not usually like this!
She only wore a very light makeup, and she was pure and charming with a charm, especially with the flow of her eyes, she had a thousand amorous feelings, which was really a test of Taoism for men.
Du Caige thinks that if he replaced it with a young man with a little less concentration, he might be in a daze because of absentmindedness and make a small appearance.
He quickly retracted his gaze and looked at a delicate red apple, "Grandma He..."
"My name is Aunt He." The old lady's eyes were full of threats.
Du Caige shuddered, "Uh, Aunt He, that's right. I came to visit today because I wanted to know you for a long time. Second, I wanted to ask your permission to let Xiao Xu continue to follow me to make movies. I also plan to write a few songs for her to sing. She has this talent, and she is very talented. I am like a jade craftsman. When I see a piece of rough jade, if I don’t carve it properly, I feel uncomfortable.”
Mrs. He smiled and said, "Well, then you have a similar feeling to me. Qing'er is also very talented in Kunqu Opera. So, my answer is, no."
"People's energy is limited, and it is amazing to be able to do one thing to the extreme. If she is distracted to sing and make movies, I am afraid that she will end up being second-rate in everything."
Du Caige said sternly: "I can refute you with a real example, Aunt He."
Mrs. He was startled, then smiled knowingly: "You want to say yourself? Are you a top musician and a top writer?"
Du Caige nodded: "Also, he is also a top director. I am confident in this, but it still needs to be tested by the market."
Mrs. He shook her head: "You are a special case."
"Xiao Xu will also be a special case," Du Caige insisted. "She has such talent and such hard work. If she can't succeed, I don't think there are many people in the world who can succeed."
Mrs. He smiled and said, "You can't convince me. Don't even think about fooling me with your foolish reasoning. She is already my apprentice, and she can firmly inherit my mantle and become the best big Tsingyi. , inheriting the past and linking the future, and passing on the skills of Kunqu Opera to the next generation. Why take the risk?"
"You think it's important to make her a big star, and it's important to make a lot of money, but that's not the case," Mrs. He said in a very kind and firm manner, "Her family doesn't care about fame and fortune, and she doesn't care much about fame and fortune herself. I don't even care. I'm just afraid that things about Kunqu Opera will be lost, and when I go underground, when asked by my ancestors, I will be too ashamed to answer."
Du Caige noticed that Xu Qingya was looking at him helplessly at this moment, and said silently with her lips: "I care!"
Du Caige almost laughed out loud.
However, Mrs. He is really not easy to pass...
Having said that, Du Caige knew that he couldn't ask for it.
He adjusted his expectations immediately.
Don't think about getting it done right away this time, or make several more trips, and take your time to convince Mrs. He.
So he diverted the topic and told some interesting stories about Qingya during her time on the set, about her hard work, and about her singing and practicing on the rooftop at night.
Mrs. He never left her line for three sentences. Seeing that Du Caige was not completely ignorant of Kunqu Opera, she became interested. From time to time, she asked Du Caige to talk about some lyrics, discuss a piece of music, and discuss the combination of several instruments.
Du Caige is not a fan of Kunqu Opera, but he has watched the documentary "600 Years of Kunqu Opera" and heard several famous plays.
For example, the youth version of "The Peony Pavilion", "The Palace of Longevity", "Peach Blossom Fan" and so on.
He found that Mrs. He was most interested in the Kunqu Opera documentary that he had promised Xu Qingya to shoot, and kept chasing this and that.
Du Caige had no choice but to falter, thinking about it clearly before speaking.
After all, the histories of the two worlds are different, so "600 Years of Kunqu Opera" cannot be copied mechanically.
He didn't expect that something would still happen.
