Ten years of film queen, finally became a top star

Chapter 159: Companion

The lights went out, the movie opening credits ended on the screen, and "The Companion of Fragrant Wife" officially began to show.

In the not-so-large theater, the drumbeats of the civil and military theater sounded, and the graceful and elegant imperial concubine came on stage to take her bow.

Zhou Rongfang held a orchid in her hand and bowed to all the guests. She slowly adjusted her sleeves and knelt down to thank them for their presence. Her every move was full of the beauty unique to opera.

"Encore!" "One more!" "Where's Su Huizhu?!"

Amid the calls for an encore, someone suddenly shouted Su Huizhu's name, and then the whole audience followed suit.

Today is Zhou Rongfang’s special performance of The Imperial Concubine, but the theater is full thanks to Su Huizhu.

There were more than 300 tickets in total, all sold one by one by Su Huizhu through live broadcast.

So many of the audience didn’t even know the people on the stage; they all came to see Su Huizhu.

Su Huizhu wore a smoky makeup today, with a few strands of pink hair hidden in her high ponytail. She wore a short T-shirt and low-waist jeans that exposed her waist, and had a belly button pierced.

As soon as she came out, the shouting from below became even louder, almost lifting the roof off.

"Shh~" She put her finger on her lips and made a hushing sound, and the whole audience instantly fell silent.

Looking at Zhou Rongfang's helpless eyes, Su Huizhu straightened her slightly dislocated phoenix crown and smiled and winked at her.

He took the microphone from the leader who was playing Gao Lishi, and said, "Dear audience members, you are all here. My sister's ability is far superior to mine..."

After a few simple instructions, Su Huizhu got down to business. "Since the audience is so enthusiastic, can I perform a segment of Da Deng Dian with our leading actor?"

"Good!" Amidst the cheers, Su Huizhu, who had managed to stabilize the situation, exchanged glances with Zhou Rongfang.

Seeing that the applause was not going to subside, the leader spoke loudly, "Princess Dai Zhan is coming to the palace!"

"Come to another country and see with your own eyes that other countries and our country are not ordinary..." Although Su Huizhu's singing voice is ordinary, her performance ability is still outstanding even without any costume.

"Wang Baochuan, who is sitting up there, please come forward and pay your respects~"

Dai Zhan was originally feeling unconvinced when he paid his respects to Wang Baochuan.

But because it was an encore, there were not such strict requirements. After Su Huizhu squatted down, she raised her eyebrows at Zhou Rongfang.

Although Zhou Rongfang was angry, she had to continue singing because she was on stage and couldn't mess up the performance.

"Wang Baochuan lowered her head and looked, and saw that Dai Zhannu was dressed like a fairy... If Baochuan were a man, I would also live in her country for a few years..."

This part expresses the third sister's appreciation for Dai Zhan. Zhou Rongfang is singing while Su Huizhu is covering her face and tying her hair to show off.

At the end of the encore, Su Huizhu changed the lyrics temporarily: "Sister, you are too polite. I will take care of your son-in-law. From now on, I will live with you for another 18 years~"

Not only the audience in the audience was laughing, but the media watching the movie were also laughing. They didn't expect the movie to be in this style.

The first scene of the movie ends with the Peking Opera encore, and the scene switches to the backstage.

Su Huizhu stood behind the dressing table and watched her remove her makeup. Zhou Rongfang had a cold face and didn't say anything.

After a long while, Su Huizhu said pitifully: "Senior sister, I was wrong. I won't change the lyrics next time. This is not an encore, I just want to make it more lively. Anyway, they don't understand..."

Zhou Rongfang interrupted angrily, "What do you mean the audience doesn't understand? Can you fool the audience if you don't understand?"

"If you want to fool the audience, you have to have them. If you keep using the same old tricks, there will be no audience left, and all your skills will be useless."

Seeing Su Huizhu was stubborn, Zhou Rongfang stopped talking again. After removing her makeup completely, she said, "I have already agreed with the troupe leader that we will go to the countryside to perform next month."

Su Huizhu rolled her eyes. "My dear sister, we are running out of money. Why are we still going to the countryside? The troupe is almost ruined."

Zhou Rongfang said sarcastically: "What are we afraid of? Don't we have a big internet celebrity like you here to support us? The rewards are enough for us to eat."

The conversation between the two ended unpleasantly. What followed was the quiet performance of Zhou Rongfang in the countryside and the lively performance of Su Huizhu's live singing, which was a clear contrast.

When Zhou Rongfang came back, the two of them performed the Legend of the White Snake on the same stage, she played Bai Suzhen and Su Huizhu played Qing'er.

The sisters have known each other for many years and there is no overnight grudge. Before going on stage, Su Huizhu personally put on makeup for her senior sister.

She was a girl who was good at acting coquettish and silly, and was easily coaxed into submission by Zhou Rongfang with just a few words, but the final confession and kissing scene were cut out.

Because Zhou Rongfang said that Su Huizhu would not be allowed to sell tickets for the live show, the attendance today was not high, with only a small half of the audience watching.

After stepping down, Su Huizhu continued to persuade: "Senior sister, believe me, live streaming is the most popular channel now. No matter how talented we are, it won't work if no one knows about it. This is just a way of publicity."

Su Huizhu said all the nice things she could, but Zhou Rongfang still did not agree with her plan. She firmly believed that they could still be liked by people with their original traditional methods.

Su Huizhu was helpless and could only continue to watch Zhou Rongfang perform and compete, running around all the time but with little results.

Zhou Rongfang insisted that opera should not be performed in a live broadcast environment, so the content of Su Huizhu's live broadcast has now become popular science.

Sometimes I have to write a script before a live broadcast, thinking about how to make a play more attractive.

After a while, the troupe finally couldn't hold on any longer. Su Huizhu's live broadcast rewards could only provide an emergency solution, but it was not a long-term solution.

At the troupe meeting, no one in the troupe opposed Su Huizhu's plan, except Zhou Rongfang, who firmly disagreed.

Su Huizhu was anxious and angry, and said word by word with tears in her eyes: "Senior sister, I can do it, why don't you believe me?"

Zhou Rongfang remained silent, and Su Huizhu asked her again and again while crying.

Although the media watching the movie were introduced to the plot, only a few of them cried along with Su Huizhu. Only the one hiding in the screening room was more unrestrained.

"Wow, why? Why doesn't this person believe her? No one wants to believe her, so it's like this today!"

Zhou Rongfang was heartbroken, and finally couldn't help but stand up and said, "I don't agree not because I don't trust you, but because I'm afraid that you will have to bear the final profit and loss!"

"They all don't oppose you, but no one says they support you either. This attitude shows that they don't want to take responsibility. Can't you see that?"

Su Huizhu wiped away her tears and smiled, "It doesn't matter, as long as you believe in me, nothing else matters."

She will never be able to surpass Zhou Rongfang in opera singing, but she has a natural talent for live streaming.

With the blessing of high popularity, the troupe finally became popular.

The closing drama at the end of the year was Lian Xiang Ban, in which the two sisters performed the love story of Cui Jianyun and Cao Yuhua on the same stage.

Sisters Su Huizhu and Zhou Rongfang, who adhere to tradition and are pioneers of innovation, brought the troupe back to life on their own.

In the end, they have not changed, they are still content with their loneliness and still boldly and unremittingly innovate.

In the end, they all changed, no longer complacent, and learned to take steady steps...
