Chapter41.

Although the new watch doesn't match his temperament, Li Mu couldn't stop him from feeling like it, so he took off the old one, Paul Newmandytona, who had been wearing it for many years. Because he was in another place and stayed in a hotel, he didn't know where to put it.

When I think about it this way, I think in my mind, otherwise I will give it to Zhuang Qin?

The other party gave him a watch designed with such a careful design, so he had to give him a careful one... But this is an antique watch he had worn, maybe he wouldn't like it, so buy a new one?

He felt that Zhuang Qin's meaning was very obvious, like a confession, but it was very subtle and did not speak out. However, Li Mu thought about it for several days and was only asked about his health during this period. Then before his birthday party, he suddenly sent him an equally subtle message: "I like the gift you gave very much."

Zhuang Qin, who was rehearsing "Nan Ke Ji" in the theater, returned to the backstage and saw the news and replied: "Hahaha, just like it."

A picture of a cute cat emoticon pack.

Li Mu waited for a while, but couldn't see the following.

He couldn't understand and thought Zhuang Qin was busy, so he asked him what he was doing. The other end replied: "I'm rehearsing in the theater, but I'm having an intermission now."

Li Mu raised his hand, rolled up his cuffs, and took a picture with his cell phone.

"I changed my previous one." He felt that his hint was quite obvious.

Zhuang Qin: "Yeah, it looks good!"

The manufacturer of this watch is the brand he endorsed. After deciding the plan six months ago, this batch of watches was given to Zhuang Qin as a sponsor, but the watch advertisements were to be broadcasted at the birthday party.

The daily price of the brand is about 1,000 yuan. The brand is planning to put this design work on the shelves after the birthday party. It will be sold as a limited-edition joint model, and the price will be relatively discounted. It is expected to usher in a wave of crazy grabs.

Li Muzuo waited for the rest of the day, but before he could wait, he posted another one: "The Starry Sky Arcade is very beautiful."

"Yes, I like it very much, too. I used it last night." Zhuang Qin took the time to reply to him while memorizing the script of Kunqu Opera. Li Mu's reply speed was a bit slow, but it didn't affect anything.

"I received your wishes." He said ambiguously, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, but I haven't removed the gift you gave yet. I'll dismantle it tomorrow on my birthday~"

It also comes with a cat emoticon pack full of love begging for a hug.

Li Mu looked at the emoticon, and could even imagine Zhuang Qin lying in a corner of the sofa stretching like a cat, and his heart was like a cat being scratched.

If Zhuang Qin was not so shy, he would be relatively easy to consider this matter himself, so he would not know how to answer.

On the birthday party.

In the morning, Zhuang Qin started to rehearse in regular clothes. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, a large number of star-chasing girls holding support cards were already concentrated outside the brand new Poly Theater, discussing how they went through so much trouble that they were lucky enough to get the ticket. Some of them had not received the ticket, and learned that their enthusiasm was the same in the matter of star-chasing.

The super-large poster outside the theater is a brand new hard photo. Zhuang Qin's half of his face was made of oil paint, his eyes were hung up, and the thick black oil paint was raised up at the end of his eyes, his cheeks were pink, and the other half of his face was not made of, with completely different temperaments, his eyes were shiny, clean and without any impurities.

Not only did the fans stand below and took photos, but they also took photos with Lipai. There are stalls outside the theater where you can get yogurt for free, drinks and snacks for free with tickets. There are several other fast food restaurants, which are also crowded at the moment, most of them are wearing uniform support suits, as well as luminous boards representing the city, such as Chengdu support team, Guangzhou support team... they are dazzled.

Li Mu drove here by himself.

When he was driving by the parking lot, he roughly looked at it and found that it was a group of pretty young girls, boys, but very few. Li Mu parked his car on the side of the road and didn't know how to get off.

He had a work permit from Zhuang Qin to the hotel two days ago. He could use this to enter from the backstage and also arranged a seat for him. He only needed to enter from the backstage and then sit down in the audience area.

Li Mu raised his hand and looked at the time after the new watch was calibrated.

Half past five.

The official announcement time is that the entry will start at 6:30 and end at 8:30.

He has never participated in such a large-scale star-chasing event. He once left the prom early because he didn't like noisy occasions with a lot of people.

Now he actually came here on his own initiative.

Li Mu sent a message to Zhuang Qin, and replied slowly there. Zhuang Qin said, "My junior is putting makeup on me, so my eyes must be closed."

"Your junior brother wants to perform, too?"

"Yes, he's on the same stage with me."

Li Mu had done his homework before and checked the background of "Nan Ke Ji", which is a tragic story. Tang Xianzu adapted it from "Biography of the Prefect of Nan Ke" in the Tang legend, and used a lot of ink to show the illusory love in the dream of Chunyu Fen and the princess.

Li Mu: "Is the character you play the male lead or the princess?"

When he thought of Zhuang Qin's junior brother, he seemed to be taller and stronger.

Zhuang Qin replied: "My junior is a cross-dressing."

He has not had a cross-dressing experience, but considering that the live broadcast might be used to make a fuss, even if the appearance of the boy's wife must be more amazing, he finally chose to play a young actor. Moreover, Chunyu Fen's situation can be grasped more accurately.

Xiaodao rarely works in the cross-dressing situation. This time, he is trying to compete with his senior brother, put on makeup of a girl's wife, wears wigs, and puts a whole set of antique heads and faces.

The two actually performed Kunqu opera on stage very few times. "The Story of Nan Ke" was arranged by the master and his wife in the early years. They also taught the apprentices in the troupe, but there was no chance to appear because there were no audiences at that time.

Zhuang Qin remembers the last time he saw his master and his wife appear on stage, when he finished the performance of Suon Nanzhi in a venue with only one audience. There was no one in the theater. There were only two people on the foggy stage, performing the joys and sorrows of life, and life was like a dream.

At that time, he didn't understand. He was young and felt sad for no reason. Only when he grew up did he understand why.

After finishing makeup at 6 o'clock, Zhuang Qin took the time to change clothes. Facing the makeup mirror, he sorted out the precious costumes that were valuable on his body.

His makeup is called Shin-dressing, which is a clear face, with eyebrows drawn and eyes drawn, eyes dyed red, eyes hanging up, and eyeliners rising - it is a very light makeup in modern Kunqu opera performances.

Xiaodao's makeup is much more gorgeous. He is not feminine at all, and his facial features are handsome. The makeup artists of the Kunqu Opera Troupe who helped him put on makeup are laughing and saying that you two have performed the opposite: "Teacher Zhuang Qin's face is brighter, suitable for cross-dressing, and his voice is softer."

All departments are ready, the stage has been arranged, and fans have successively entered the venue with tickets, went in after scanning the face and security check, and after finding the seat, a handbag was placed on each seat.

"Is this a gift?" someone asked.

"Yes, it was a gift Zhuang Qin specially prepared for fans." The staff replied.

"Oh my God, such a big box!"

"Can it be taken apart?" a fan asked.

The staff reminded: "Of course it can be dismantled, but remember to take it when leaving the venue."

Someone asked: "We bought a gift for my brother, how can we give it to him?"

Most of Zhuang Qin's fan base are in his teenagers, but most of them can come to the imperial capital to attend his birthday party at this time, including college or work party members, that is, sister fans, but some of them are fans of mothers.

Qiu Ming, who was shoveling cat poop in Thailand, was exposed to a circle of friends.

The note for Ms. Fang, his mother took a photo with Zhuang Qinli, wearing a support suit, holding a birthday party ticket, and smiling like a 28-year-old girl.

The caption is: "Come to celebrate the 20th birthday of the baby!"

Qiu Ming was so shocked that he found it funny. This spirit of chasing stars was more enthusiastic than shopping and playing cards.

At half past six, there were few outsiders in the theater. A few people didn't know where the ticket was left. They were flipping through bags outside. They were so anxious that they were crying. The staff were comforting: "Look for it again, don't worry, you have to wait twenty or thirty minutes before the show starts."

Li Mu held his work permit and entered from the backend entrance in a low-key manner.

He wore a hat and covered his lower half of his face with a mask. Apart from his tall figure, he was not special.

Entering the noisy backstage, waiting for the venue were preparing for Kunqu opera actors, as well as other accompaniments and dancers. Li Mu looked around and found the protagonist from a large number of Kunqu opera actors.

I was wearing Suzhou opera dresses, and the best Su embroidery craftsmanship was all on the thin pink costume embroidery pattern.

But Li Mu only saw a quiet side face from the angle, with the curve of his side face extremely delicate and he didn't speak. Then he saw that the person who played the role of the female role should be the one who was Junior Brother Zhuang Qin, who fed him a drink with a straw-stitched drink.

Zhuang Qin took a sip and waved his hand to say he didn't want it.

It is a habit to not speak half an hour before going on stage.

The lights dim and the actors are about to come on stage.

Li Mu then walked around and entered the venue through the side door, finding a seat in the dim theater hall.

The darkness around him was full of people, and this environment made him feel a little uncomfortable.

After sitting down, Li Mu noticed the handbag placed on the seat, with familiar patterns printed on it. Before he could take a closer look, the lights were turned off.

In the countdown, the curtain slowly opened, accompanied by screams from the audience, and the support lights were all on. Xiao Guan's accompanimentist sat on the side stage. In the entire accompaniment group, there were moon qin, flute, sheng, and pipa zheng.

On the theater stage, the princess played by Xiaodao first appeared. The screaming stopped for a few seconds. Because of the makeup, everyone didn’t know if it was Zhuang Qin. Someone recognized it: “It seems that it is not Zhuang Qin’s younger brother…”

"But this is so beautiful..."

Most fans don’t know what Kunqu Opera is. If it weren’t for the influence of idols, they might not have watched such a performance in their entire lives.

"It must be a man?"

Xiaodao's handsome facial features were weakened by the beautiful makeup, but he still showed his masculine traits, but his singing style was soft enough to make him look real.

Li Mu, who has read the original work of "Nan Ke", heard it was "Yaotai". After singing for two minutes, the lights changed, and after the side curtain, an actor wearing a crown scarf walked out.

Zhuang Qin showed her face and appeared. Her eyes fell on the audience. She turned to the stage. When she faced her junior brother, she opened her mouth to sing the lines. The water-melting tune was very soft because she was a young student, and she heard it clearly and soft in her ears.

"Bang!" The accompanist beats the gong.

His appearance is so beautiful, his makeup is light and his handsome and bright facial features are highlighted. His gentle aura is still retained on this character, and he is so handsome that he looks like a jade-like face.

There were a few screams off the stage, but it went down quickly and no one wanted to ruin the show.

Li Mu looked up and saw that the stage was high. Zhuang Qin seemed to be very close to him, as if he could reach out with his hand.

Chunyu Fen in reality is down and out. From his frustrated lyrics that he offended the commander and lived a life of drinking. He complained about reality and drank too much. This decadent life can only get a greater emptiness... But in a dream where it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, he has feelings for the people in the dream!

After one scene, one will take another, and ten minutes later, you will jump to the last one-man show.

Chunyu, who walked out of the dream, was unwilling to break everything in the dream, and the illusion in the dream extended to reality. His eyes were sad and frightened, perhaps because everything in reality made people frustrated, or perhaps because everything in the dream was too real, so that Zhuang Qin could not give up: "[Study Upgrade][Seeing the bed and making shocked] Don't approach, I'm afraid."

At this time, he had become one with the character's heart, and everyone could see the fear.
