Chapter 3 three supporting roles

Upstairs in XX, the XX theater troupe had a dinner today for the performance of a play. There were about 50 people present, and Mr. Shi Ping was the chairman.When the number of people was sufficient, the chairman stood up and reported the results of the last performance, as well as the attention of all walks of life.When he finished speaking, he also mentioned the script for the next rehearsal and how to make various plans in groups.Sitting next to Chen Bai, Luo did not speak to Chen Bai, but seeing Mr. Shiping, she recalled what she had talked at her uncle's house a few days ago. A woman's nerves are very dull in many things, and may be very sensitive in another thing at the same time.Luo is a person who feels pleased with himself in terms of male behavior estimation.Her interest in creating estimates of men's behavior was developed in Peking.She sees everything clearly and knows how to do it, so that the jokes made by men can be made clearer, and she doesn't try to do it for herself.She knew that these things involved a little risk, but she had to take the little risk.In front of her uncle, she developed a woman's ability to explain everything in words, but in the crowd, she was mostly silent like a shy woman.She knows that this way of handling is more beneficial to herself, and she knows that only by doing this can the blood of those young people boil, and she can keep her mouth shut, so all the men are supporting roles in any script when they are acting The young people here also have an ambition in their hearts, thinking that Mr. Shiping, the director, will not allow him to be the leading role in a play, or that Luo will allow himself to be the leading role in a love affair.

She knows everything about men, and she can guess what she doesn't understand, and she makes the meaning of living every day on these. She didn't speak at this time, and saw Mr. Shiping.When Mr. Shiping finished speaking, everyone clapped their hands, and she also clapped for a while as usual.A character playing the role of a clown in a comedic drama, whose speech and expression still has the demeanor of a clown at this time, stood up and proposed to invite the heroine Luo to give a speech. Luo thought to herself, "This group of people, if you want me to talk, it's like watching a show, and I welcome you." Thinking of it, she was naturally a little impatient, and glanced over the long row of seats for a while, and could see everyone's interest where.She stood up for a while, then sat down again.

The palms of all the seats clapped again.Mr. Shiping looked at this side with a smile. "Just tell me, are you happy?" "..." Shaking his head.She thought to herself, "I just want to make these men laugh at me better. Because when I speak, I will unknowingly scold these things who wear clothes and eat meat. I laugh at them, scold them, and pity them, but instead they make these things Stupider." Another woman, just because of her own selfishness, was very displeased with Luo's outstanding behavior, so she proposed to invite Mr. Chen Bai to give a speech to see how everyone was doing.The first to respond to this proposal were the eleven women in the seat, and the other students who wanted to please women. Once everyone agreed, Chen Bai stood up with a smile on his face.

"First of all, everyone asked the queen of our troupe to speak. If she is not happy to say it, it is my turn. What I want to say must be everyone's opinion, that is, the reputation gained from this rehearsal of XX should be given to two people. Divide equally, one is Mr. Shiping, the other is Ms. Luo..." Everyone applauded, Chen Bai looked around, and knew that the words were good, but he was a little negligent, so he waited for the applause to calm down, and then said, "I haven't finished my words! I will say that without me and fellow students and comrades, Mr. Shiping would not be able to follow his plan, and Miss Luo's genius would be useless! So the masses should be grateful to the two of them. But you should thank us, what do you think?"

The applause broke out again, like a storm coming, sweeping away the unhappiness of many people.Chen Bai's words are as smart as a person's appearance, Luo said softly: "Chen Bai, you are so smart, but your words are really empty." The man also said softly: "There is nothing to say, it's not empty, it depends on the person and the time to say it." Luo looked very upset, "Do you think you can see clearly that I like what you said?" Chen Bai argued, "Everyone is not angry, which is rare." "But I don't need you to flatter me in front of people. For your sake, don't make those women hate you, and you shouldn't say such stupid things."

"I will save myself, don't you see them all happy?" The woman snorted, not saying that what she said was right, nor denying that it was wrong. Chen Bai said, "I was wrong. I should try to make them hate me, but it can make me love you more." Lo said, "Your plan is good. It is the best skill of a wise man." "You are too good at using words. When you say skills, do you mean that I am lying, or—" "I should know better than others!" At this time, Chen Bai was cutting a piece of bread with all his strength, his hands trembled slightly when he heard this, but this decent young gentleman still tried his best to maintain his status as a gentleman, he gently put down the knife, looked at Luo, and made an expression of affection and helplessness . "I beg you, don't be too harsh," he didn't say the words, only accumulated in his gentlemanly manner.He thought Lo would get his point in this little reflection.He is waiting to be forgiven, needs to be forgiven, because this person is confident that there are various reasons for forgiveness.

The woman didn't seem to notice this situation, and said, "A clever man can please others, but—" She meant that even though he pleases others, it doesn't necessarily make him love him.Chen Bai didn't hear this clearly, he still has his philosophy.According to his philosophy, he should be silent at this time, and he was silent.He waited for the opportunity to invite Luo to play somewhere when the meeting was over.He forgives her everything, because he feels that he is a man, and there are some things that should be forgiven for a bit wayward woman.He is in Airo, sacrificing prejudice in love is the most important condition, and he did it, so he is optimistic and not depressed.

After serving the soup once, the chairman stood up from the seat again. With a long neck and a long head, he looked at Luo with his slightly myopic eyes, and raised his eyebrows amusedly. Although the appearance is unattractive but has a gentleman's demeanor, he proposed again, asking Luo to say a few thoughts.His appearance was so serious, and his speech was so decent, Luo could no longer refuse. Amid the applause, the woman stood up, and her words were as clear as a bell, which echoed in all the hearts of everyone.Her attitude towards a child, who was a little reserved at first, seemed to explain her noble status.Immediately, she humbly talked about how incapable she was, and the direction that everyone should work hard in the future. After she finished speaking, she looked around and slowly sat back in her original position.Everyone was intoxicated by the harmony of the sound.The women felt ashamed and clapped their hands to cover up their weaknesses.The young men all turned to Luo's side, wanting to drink a glass of wine and wish the woman's health.Chen Bai understood this victory, and at this moment, a kind of vanity shone into his heart, he deliberately leaned his body closer to Luo who was beside him, and put a small tall glass close to his lips, "I wish our queen all the best. "Looking at Chen Bai's behavior, Luo felt slightly dissatisfied.

Chen Bai took a sip of his wine and said, "The words are really touching." "Do you think I'm acting?" "I thought you were a genius. No matter acting or other things, you always make people feel so beautiful." Luo felt a little overwhelmed by the words, so she also took a sip of the wine. Chen Bai said again, "Mr. Shi Ping is the first to admit that you are a genius." This remark was inappropriate and ruined the situation created by the previous sentence.At this moment, Luo was thinking of other things, and she suddenly felt that Chen Bai had suspected her sourly.When a woman loses the trust of a man in this respect, according to the law of physics, she always takes the best posture for the man's resistance, that is, she deliberately gets close to the man who made her falsely accused, as a small revenge.At this time, she took the glass in her hand, making an air of intentionally embarrassing Chen Bai, and Mr. Chairman Shiping, who was a little more hands-on, looked at the glass from a distance and drank some red wine.

Although Chen Bai who was sitting on the side was laughing dryly, Luo could guess what was hidden in the smile.She deliberately asked, "Chen Bai, you are happy!" The man nodded unnaturally, "Why am I not happy? Do you think men are like women, making her happy or sad according to what she sees?" Luo said, "It's admirable to be a man like you." "But I don't want others to admire." "Of course I know what you mean." "Because you are a smart woman." "Probably not very smart, you are too much." "..."

"..." After eating coffee, the banquet was over, and two women who were close to Luo surrounded the person who was regarded as the queen, and sat behind a screen to talk.Chen Bai discussed with Mr. Shiping and several students from the publishing group about printing the theater coupons and advertisements for the next rehearsal.Some pairs of young male and female students sat in a corner, talking about the love between Luo and Chen Bai in low voices, as if this was the only love story that could be said.There were also some men and women who sat scattered in various places, and when they were full, they followed the habit of a young man who had food in his stomach, and came to talk to friends about eating, dressing, women's literature, and other things in an orderly manner.Naturally, these people's thoughts are radical, they are beautiful, and their blood is hot, but their minds are inevitably muddled.Everyone sees the world in a haze, and because of the haze, everyone has their own prejudices in life, and they come to this world to live in a very healthy way.Everyone also has a kind of sadness, either because of women's eyes, or because of money, because of stimulation, talking loses their original character.Among them were a few self-admired men, with white faces and long hair, who, to complement their artistic appearance, customarily paired their white shirts with a huge black bow tie, (or the tie was scarlet again. color,) the bow tie is blown by the wind, this kind of man is melancholy like a gentleman who has lost his love, or proud like an official, walking back and forth on the soft carpet in the hall by himself.A few first-year art school girls who are the most sympathetic but not too daring to indulge in front of others secretly impress this touching and elegant man in their hearts, shake their hearts, and memorize the stories in the script, and go to some places It seemed that when it was in harmony with my own mood, I corrected the posture of my body when everyone was not paying attention. Then someone got up and left.Some people saw the big clock on the wall and rushed to the Beijing theater to watch "The Soul of the Party" when the time came, so they left the dining place in varying degrees. The women who had friends were invited to watch a movie and eat ice cream, and those who had no friends also walked back to school. The pale-faced man who had pretended to be a worker the previous time sat in a corner and read the newspaper with an air of waiting.After the group meeting was over, Mr. Shiping saw that many people had left, so he went to the cashier to inform him of the day's expenses. When he came back, he went to the screen to see Luo, and Chen Bai followed.Because Luo came here with Mr. Shiping, Mr. Shiping asked Luo, "Do you want to go to another place to play?" Chen Bai replaced Luo and said, "She promised me to go to Taihe Hotel to see the Japanese photography exhibition." Luo because she has a kind of right in front of Mr. Shiping, she said that Chen Bai can't control her taste, and at this time she denied Chen Bai's words.She said, "Mr. Shiping, I don't want to see that Japanese painting, I want to go back." "Really?" "I don't want to waste time telling lies." Chen Bai felt a little feverish on his face, but he still tried his best to calm himself down, "I'll go with you." Luo agreed without thinking, "That's fine." Chen Bai was a little upset in his tone, and changed his words, "I'll go with you." I can't go with you." This hurt Luo's heart, so she was silent for a while, and said to Mr. Shiping, "Mr. Shiping, you have nothing to do, so just go and sit with me at my house. We talked about that story yesterday. It's not over, uncle's wine will only be opened after you go." Seeing that Chen Bai was silent, Mr. Shiping thought, "This is a child's intentional revenge," and said, "Chen Bai, what do you mean by not going with Luo?" Chen Bai walked away a little, with an unhappy look on his face, "She doesn't want me to go!" Seeing Chen Bai like this, Luo made a plan in her heart, "Chen Bai, if you are like this, I will do one thing to embarrass you." She nodded with the other women, and went to the place where the coats and hats were kept for Shiping. Take your hat sir.Chen Bai saw everything was very innocent, and knew that this was a deliberate move to embarrass him, so he also walked over to get his hat, ready to walk.The man felt no failure under any circumstances. He saw them going downstairs, and saw the gloomy student who seemed to be reading a newspaper. see. "Mister Zhou, do you want to transfer to another school or go elsewhere?" The student saw that Luo was walking with Mr. Shiping today, and at this moment Chen Bai came to talk to him, and the bad mood he usually felt because of a certain threat was a little less.Chen Bai was his professor, so he hurriedly stood up and straightened his clothes while saying, "I want to go back, I want to go back." "Don't go back to school, the two of us will go to the Taihe Pavilion to look at the paintings, okay?" "Okay." After agreeing like this, the man seemed to be puzzled by what he said immediately, and saw the fit and neat Chen Bai standing in front of him, making a smile that didn't know what the meaning was. Chen Bai understood some of the reasons for this man's melancholy, and suddenly felt a kind of sympathy that he didn't have at ordinary times, so he took the young student's hand and decided to play with him for a while.When I arrived, I saw that another girl was about to leave, so I said, "Ladies and comrades, let's go to see the paintings together, let's go to see the paintings together."The women looked at each other for a while, as if they all admitted that this matter could not be refused and there was no reason to refuse, they said "yes" in unison. There were six people who went to the Taihe Hall together.After looking at Japanese Western paintings for a while, several people were invited by Chen Bai to eat ice cream in a nearby cafe.Chen Bai went to the telephone and made a call, asking Mr. Shiping if he had returned to school. From the phone, he knew that Mr. Shiping had not returned to school. Chen Bai was a little unhappy. After parting with the students, he hurried to Went to the place where Luo lived. A week later, the ×× troupe rehearsed a play by Mr. Shiping in the Guangming Theater, called "The Tragedy of Mrs. Wang", and the protagonist was still the heroine Luo. Because this script needs two male roles, Chen Bai is one of them, and Chen Bai chose the pale-faced student surnamed Zhou to act as the other.During the rehearsal, Chen Bai secretly observed everything about Luo from the sidelines. As for Luo, because the supporting role didn't talk much, he often approached Luo with a little curiosity and provocation. The timid man approached, and during a rehearsal, in front of Chen Bai, sometimes in order to annoy this selfish man deliberately, in order to subject him to a kind of abuse, which seemed to be the abuse that Chen Bai deserved, and also once Deliberately gave all the warmth of a woman to the man surnamed Zhou.In fact, this woman did not think of this dangerous game at all, and the root planted was the explosion of the other side. In this matter, she slightly misused her cleverness. Before the play was officially staged, it got excellent results in the rehearsal. The student surnamed Zhou became more silent for some reason. Mr. Shi Ping didn't understand the reason, so he noticed him at the back and asked him, Why are you so unhappy.The student blushed and walked away without saying a word, and then he acted as if he was afraid that the director, Shiping, would be suspicious of his behavior, so he replaced this corner with another person, so he wrote to Mr. Shiping again, Explain that the melancholy is nothing but poor health and nothing else.Mr. Shiping knew a lot about young people's feelings. He believed in this person's honesty, and felt that this person's performing arts and language genius were beyond the reach of other roles, so he especially said a lot of words to him to try to cheer him up. This student has a kind of trust in Mr. Shiping, and he just wants to tell everything in front of this middle-aged man when he has the opportunity. After performing the trick, the student seemed to be very familiar with Mr. Shiping. Whenever he came to Mr. Shiping's room, he often saw Luo here, so he sat aside very restrainedly and listened to Luo's conversation with Mr. Shiping.Sometimes I was alone with Mr. Shiping, talking about Luo's friendship with Chen Bai, the young man looked envious and pitiful, and always said in a stubborn tone, "They all say that Chen Bai is getting engaged. They all said so." Mr. Shiping has heard this many times. Sometimes he just smiles and doesn't answer, and sometimes he checks the other party, and he seems to say stubbornly, "This is for sure, this is for sure." When the pale-faced student heard this, he was visibly a little embarrassed, and remained silent.Or after a while, suddenly say this again, "They all said that Luo is good." Those who listened asked, "Who said?" So they seemed not to know the answer and fell silent. In Mr. Shiping's heart, he had great sympathy for this student.
