After being defeated by Qingmei, I became a top player

Originally, after Chen Shuren saw the gatekeeper of the Haughty Garden, he was not sure whether he could invite Liyuan disciples to participate in the variety show.

But what he didn't expect was that after Mei Qingling stated his intention, four of the nine people said that they could call their apprentices for interviews now.

Regarding these four old people, Chen Shuren was not surprised because they were from Mei Qingling's group.

But he didn't expect the other three.

Even if these three people had not quarreled with him before, Chen Shuren could tell from their expressions and the direction of their seats that they were definitely not in the same group as Mei Qingling and those who were seeking innovation.

But unfortunately, these three people also gathered around him.

Even when they heard that others were about to call their disciples, they all took out their mobile phones to prepare, leaving Chen Shuren dumbfounded.

The moment he saw the mobile phone, Chen Shuren also came back to his senses from the scene created around the stage that seemed to be a hundred years ago.

I have to say that the environment of the Humble Garden, coupled with such a group of Liyuan disciples wearing plain robes, really feels a bit transcendent.

Of course, not everyone came together. The two old artists who had quarreled with Chen Shuren were still glaring at them, disdainful of the 'rebellion' of those in their own camp.

Chen Shuren ignored the two people and said to a circle of old artists around him: "Dear teachers, we are here today just to understand the situation of Zhuoyuan. We have not made too many preparations, and the recording of the program does not happen overnight. Teachers, let us go back and think about it, and we have to be the best, right?"

"Besides, not all the people you teachers want to recommend are around, right? How about we make an appointment and then talk about it?"

There was nothing wrong with what Chen Shuren said, and everyone was right. Instead of rushing out of proportion, it would be better to speak slowly.

After calming down, these people felt that Chen Shuren's proposal was good.

I was even thinking about whether Chen Shuren would be looked down upon by being so eager just now?

But what Chen Shuren said next made everyone feel comfortable.

"I feel the enthusiasm of all the teachers and their promotion of Jingzhou culture, and I am also very scared.

But since the teachers believe in me, I will naturally be able to earn their trust.

Apart from anything else, this program, under the management of the boy, will definitely allow Yangzhou, Qingzhou and other big states to see the heritage of Jingzhou! "

"A culture that has been passed down for thousands of years should have its own unique charm!"

After Chen Shuren said this, not only did the people from Mei Qingling's group look at Chen Shuren more and more, but the expressions on the faces of the three people who had previously been expressionless softened.

At this moment, no matter who Chen Shuren was or what he had done before that made them unhappy, at least now, what he said and what he was about to do were consistent with what they had wanted in their lives.

After saying that, Chen Shuren said goodbye to Mei Qingling and others, and walked out of the Humble Garden with a few people around him.

The exchange meeting in the Humble Garden was not over yet, and what followed was an exchange of pure skills. Chen Shuren did not have that ability, so he left.

As they walked on the road, the assistant who took Chen Shuren off on behalf of Mei Qingling looked at Chen Shuren curiously and said nothing.

"Uh, don't know what to call me yet?"

Chen Shuren couldn't stand the assistant's gaze and couldn't help but speak.

"Me, my name is Mei Xiaofang."

Upon hearing Mei Xiaofang's introduction, Chen Shuren raised his eyebrows.

"You and Mei are..."

"She's my grandma."

Chen Shuren suddenly realized, no wonder this little girl was so casual around the Mei family, she turned out to be a member of his own family.

However, why didn’t this girl inherit any of Mei’s temperament?

Chen Shuren couldn't help but glance at Mei Xiaofang with his discerning eye, and then he understood.

A blank slate without any talent.

"Chen Shuren, what you just said are really your thoughts?"

Mei Xiaofang suddenly spoke.

"Ok?"

Chen Shuren was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what the other party was talking about.

"Yes."

"But why? You are not from Jingzhou, is it just for your show?"

Mei Xiaofang stared at Chen Shuren and said.

"For the show, it's definitely one of the reasons, but not entirely."

Chen Shuren smiled.

"And I'm not doing it for Jingzhou. If possible, if "Run Together" has to film in other states in the future, I will treat it the same way."

"It is better to let a hundred flowers bloom than to have a single flower. Can you imagine that after all the states in Daxia are merged, you can hear, see, and feel all the cultures you want to feel anywhere?"

"Rather than clinging to my own selves, what I hope is that when I get older, I can see the new things that have emerged as a result of the collision of these cultures."

"A steadfast life is boring, isn't it?"

Hearing Chen Shuren's words, not only Mei Xiaofang opened her mouth slightly, but Tang Yingcheng and Shi Lei behind him also looked at Chen Shuren in surprise.

Fortunately for Shi Lei, Chen Shuren had been refreshing his knowledge ever since he met Chen Shuren, so after hearing these words, he only raised Chen Shuren's image a little higher in his heart.

But Tang Yingcheng was a little different.

Looking at Chen Shuren, who was exuding an aura of confidence, he couldn't connect him with the person who fell asleep drunk after failing to confess that night.

Does love really make people mature?

Tang Yingcheng fell into deep thought.

"The reason why I can't keep up with Brother Shu is because I don't have the experience he has?"

"How about I also have an unforgettable love?"

Thinking of this, Tang Yingcheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"What are you thinking about? Brother Shu, that's not a relationship, it's an awakening after asking for something but not getting it. I don't even have anyone I like, so how can I ask for something but not get it?"

Thinking like this, Tang Yingcheng looked at Chen Shuren again.

Since you can't surpass him, then follow him, learn from him, and become him!

At this time, Fan Zhengzhi, who was following the team at the end, had mixed feelings in his heart.

When he was first invited by Yue Jingwei, he didn't have much in mind. He just wanted to get to know the people from Tianyu Company who came from Yangzhou and broaden his network. There is nothing wrong with taking multiple paths.

Who would have known that this newly opened path would suddenly turn into a thoroughfare!

He had seen most of the top old artists in the Jingzhou opera world today. Although these people themselves did not have any positions, the disciples who came out from under them would not dare to think about it.

Normally for a businessman of Fan Zhengzhi's level, he should have stood and listened to the play just now.

And all of this was caused by the young man in front of him.

He didn't dare to get close to Mei Qingling, but this young man didn't seem to be living in a different world.

then……

"Brother Chen, from what you say, you want to record the show in Jingzhou, right?"

Chen Shuren nodded. He didn't have a bad impression of Fan Zhengzhi.

Although his abilities are a bit lacking, he is still a good person.

"Correct."

"Does your program need sponsorship?"

Chen Shuren looked at Fan Zhengzhi who looked expectant, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Shall we find a place to chat?"

"it is good!"

……

After Chen Shuren left, the exchange meeting in Humble Garden continued for more than an hour.

Ten old artists sat on the Taishi chair and took turns teaching the Liyuan disciples who came to ask questions. Among the ten people, there was almost no one lined up in front of Mei Qingling.

From this we can also see Mei Qingling's status here.

In this regard, even those old artists who did not deal with Mei Qingling's group did not have any dissatisfaction with this.

Before the factions were divided, Mei Qingling was the top group of people.

Even if they are divided into factions, Mei Qingling's abilities cannot but be recognized.

In addition, Mei Qingling is still running around the major states in order to promote opera and find a path after opera even though she is still seventy years old. No one will have any opinions on Mei Qingling.

In this regard, even the two people who were the strongest opponents had nothing to say.

As dusk approached, when the ten old people picked up their teacups one after another, no one came forward to ask for advice, and instead they started discussing among themselves.

"There aren't many good seeds this year."

An old man put down his tea cup and sighed.

"Isn't this quite normal? In our time, we didn't necessarily have a good young talent every year. Nowadays, the society is so impetuous and there are so many temptations. If one is born every three years, I think it's good."

The old man who had invited Chen Shuren to his theater before shook his head and said.

"Huh, you know that there are fewer and fewer available talents, but you still lead the wolf into the house!"

The old man who was the first to confront Chen Shuren said indifferently.

"Haha, Han Wanxi, Han Wanxi, just keep your skills and go to the grave! Isn't it just because your most beloved disciple ran away to become an artist? It's been so many years and you still can't let go!"

There were people who couldn't deal with Han Wanxi and they exposed their shortcomings unceremoniously.

Hearing this, a look of anger flashed across Han Wanxi's face, but he quickly returned to normal.

Over the years, he has listened to these satires and sermons a lot, and he is no longer as angry as he was at the beginning when he disagreed.

"Hmph, my disciple ignored his talent in opera and insisted on joining the ranks of artists. Now? Haha, he is a third-tier artist. Haha, after so many years, he became a third-tier artist? If he takes the path of traditional opera, he will be a first-tier artist. Artists have to call him sir when they see him!"

Hearing the anger and sadness in Han Wanxi's tone, perhaps feeling the same, the man who mocked Han Wanxi stopped saying anything.

With the ability of Han Wanxi's disciples, they entered the artist circle and got the name of a third-tier artist. What if they went there?

The atmosphere was suddenly silent.

"Times have changed."

Someone sighed.

"hehe."

Mei Qingling's laughter suddenly sounded.

Everyone looked over and saw Mei Qingling standing up from her seat.

Behind her, Mei Xiaofang wanted to help, but Mei Qingling raised her hand to stop her.

“Times have changed, but I don’t think it’s gotten worse.”

Mei Qingling paces.

"Before I went out, year by year, I saw more and more Liyuan disciples join the official, business, and entertainment circles. I thought that traditional opera was about to come to an end. I even thought that the identity of Liyuan disciples would change in the future. It becomes a way to 'gild' oneself, which makes me feel chilly."

When Mei Qingling said this, the old people behind her looked a little gloomy when they thought about the disciples who were not interested in opera but became their disciples every year.

"But fortunately, fortunately, I went out and saw more things, and saw another outlet for opera."

Mei Qingling turned around and looked at everyone.

Seeing the disdain on Han Wanxi's face, Mei Qingling smiled and said, "Senior brother."

Hearing Mei Qingling call him that, Han Wanxi had a look of astonishment on his face.

He hadn't heard this title for a long time.

It seemed that this talented junior sister had been calling him this way a long time ago.

"Ever since I sent Xiao Chen's two works back to Jingzhou, you have been very dissatisfied, thinking that I was deviating from traditional opera. I have never explained it."

"Now, let me tell you."

Mei Qingling looked at Han Wanxi and said, "I have never given up on traditional opera, and I will never give up on traditional opera."

"I was silent before because I didn't find any other path besides the opera style created by Xiao Chen. If this is really the only way to go, I will choose it for the continuation of opera."

Hearing what Mei Qingling said, Han Wanxi wanted to refute, but he opened his mouth and said nothing.

Yes, if opera is going to die out, then what is there to hold on to?

Thinking of this, Han Wanxi's back suddenly bent a little.

Seeing the sadness on everyone's faces, Mei Qingling smiled.

"Now, it's different."

"I went to Yangzhou and saw the phenomenon after the merger of Qingzhou and Yangzhou. There, I saw hope."

"We have always regarded the skills taught by our masters as our own. Then we followed the rules set by our predecessors, accepted a dozen disciples, and closed the door."

"In the past, there was nothing wrong with this kind of rule. After all, at that time, having a craft and being able to support yourself was something that others couldn't envy."

"But now, there are so many things that can support oneself. Compared with having to practice for ten years, showing one's face and singing can make a good living, the temptation is too great."

"So, the disciples couldn't hold on one by one and left one by one."

"The disciples have changed and chosen to adapt to the times. Why can't we, as teachers, change?"

Having said this, Mei Qingling glanced at Han Wanxi again.

"Brother, the change I am talking about is not the integration of opera and pop music, but the news and program that Xiao Chen brought today!"

"We are too self-isolated, so we don't realize one thing, and that is Hezhou in Daxia."

"I asked Xiaofang to ask someone just now and he told me the news. Next year, Jingzhou and Yongzhou will merge with Yangzhou and Qingzhou."

Mei Qingling calmly told a piece of news that ordinary people cannot access, but who is sitting here who is an ordinary person?

So they were only slightly surprised and waited for Mei Qingling to continue.

"The merger of the four states is also a collision between cultures. Daxia has never given up on Hezhou for so many years, but it has failed. The reason is that the cultures between states are different."

"But why did the merger of Yangzhou and Qingzhou succeed? I thought about it and asked some people. They said it was because the times were different."

"The existence of the Daxia Data Center appears to be a barrier between states, but in fact it is subtly allowing states to understand each other."

"Whether it's videos, live broadcasts, or things that can be seen through technical means, it is a way to understand other states. However, this process is controlled by the Daxia Data Center very slowly and covertly, and it is only symbolic every time. It exposed a small hole, and before people could react, it blocked the entrance again."

"The result of so many years of slow influence is that when Yangzhou and Qingzhou merged, nothing happened. Even many Qingzhou people felt inexplicably familiar when they saw certain things in Yangzhou."

"Now, Hezhou is coming again. I don't know what Xiao Chen's program is about, but what I know is that being able to search for that program in Jingzhou itself means something. It goes without saying. Metaphor."

"Those barbarians in Yongzhou are ahead of us. Why don't we, the self-proclaimed nobles, take advantage of this opportunity to let people in the four states know about our Jingzhou opera?"

"Even if one person in a hundred is interested in opera, based on the population base of the four states, the number of people who like opera is still a huge number."

"What's more, Daxia has more than four states!"

Mei Qingling's voice was very soft and soft, but when it reached the ears of everyone present, it was very loud.

Looking at the junior sister who had gray hair but still had such an elegant figure, Han Wanxi had a complex look on her face.

Since he was young, his junior sister had been different. He had been envious of her before, but in the end he attributed it to Mei Qingling's great talent.

But now, he understands that the difference between him and Mei Qingling is not talent.

Then, a voice that was subtle but could be heard by everyone came out.

"I have no objection. Just listen to you, junior sister."
