Si Dan curled his lips and said, "I'm not telling you, Old Uncle Chen.
At your age, you should stop getting involved in being a soldier.
It's more serious to find a wife and give birth to a baby as soon as possible."
Chen Laoshi blushed so hard that he couldn't help but glared at Si Dan and said, "What are you talking about, you kid?
Do you think I don't want a wife?
But how many women like us, who are poor and poor, are willing to marry me?"
Sidan winked at Chen Laoshi and said, "There's no money to make.
Uncle Chen, it's not like you didn't see that our good days are coming.
By the way, I heard that the county is recruiting art team members.
Do you want to go?"
Try it” “What does art team member mean?”
"Yes, they are just acting, but the plays are all newly made up, such as fighting against the Tatars.
Of course, we in East Sichuan have more plays about fighting against the bandits."
Si Dan swallowed a mouthful of spit and said happily.
"That's it."
Chen Laoshi was really aroused and started thinking about it thoughtfully.
After a long time, he sighed and said: "Since this is acting, there must be age requirements.
What can I do at my age?"
"Oh, Uncle Chen, you are wrong.
Acting requires people of all ages, otherwise the acting would not be realistic.
I see that the members of the art team are all in their twenties. , I just need you.”
Chen Laoshi still felt a little unsure: "Well, what do you think I am suitable to play?"
"Xian Thief, Uncle Chen, you are perfect for playing the role of Xian Thief."
Si Dan suddenly slapped his head and said something that shocked Chen Laoshi's jaw.
"Why offer a thief?"
"Yes, Uncle Chen, look, you and Xian Thief are similar in age, which is a natural advantage.
It's really embarrassing for those team members in their twenties to play Xian Thief." "" Chen Laoshi took a deep breath and said, "No, it won't do anything.
I am an honest person, so how can I play the role of a thief?"
"Oh, Uncle Chen, this is your fault.
How can acting be confused with reality?
You see in the drama about fighting against the Donglu, there are also actors playing Dorgon and Duduo.
According to you, these team members are still You can’t find a piece of tofu to kill you.”
"I think it's almost the same" Chen Laoshi said angrily.
"Uncle Chen, I heard that our Wanxian Art Troupe is recruiting people.
We only need two taels of silver a month to perform ten plays.
Except for the time for acting and rehearsal, you can arrange the rest of your time by yourself, and it will not affect you. farming” In desperation, Sidan had to resort to his trump card.
Upon hearing this treatment, Chen Laoshi's eyes immediately widened: "Two taels of silver a month, and only need to act in ten plays."
"Yes, one show for three days, isn't it a good deal?"
Sidan put his hands on his hips and said, "If I hadn't been going to be a soldier, I would have really wanted to try out for the art team."
Chen Laoshi slapped his thigh and said: "Hey, stop talking.
I'm going, why don't I go?"
“I really want to go” "Go, you would be a fool not to go" Chen Laoshi grinned and smiled brightly.
There was a long queue in front of the Chenghuang Temple northwest of the county government office.
Those who came were all ordinary people who applied for the art team.
Among them are children in their teens and adults in their thirties and forties.

Chen Laoshi was still a little nervous among a group of young people in their twenties.
He kept taking deep breaths, trying to calm down.
Yes, you can certainly do it.
Isn't it just a play without losing any weight?
That's twenty taels of silver a month.
My dear, even if I asked him to play the role of a Tatar, he would accept it.
The wait is long.
Because those who come to apply not only have to register, but they also have to enter the Chenghuang Temple to audition.
Chen Laoshi stared closely at the door and found that the people walking out had different expressions.
Some are happy and some are frustrated.
Some are excited and some are disappointed.
Hey, I really don’t know what it will be like when it’s my turn.
But now that we've come this far, let's just let nature take its course.
I am lucky to get it, but I am destined to lose it.
After another half an hour, it was finally Chen Laoshi's turn.
He walked up to the registration clerk, swallowed his foam and said, "I want to apply for the art team."
"Name, age."
"Chen Laoshi, I am forty-three this year."
The scribe quickly wrote down the information, nodded and said, "Go in."
"Why" Chen Laoshi responded quickly and stepped over the threshold into the temple.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he was stunned by the sight before him.
I saw that the entire courtyard was occupied by applicants.
They were divided into groups to audition, and there were special scribes nearby to record the performances.
Chen Laoshi was so excited that he forgot to go inside.
It wasn't until someone called his name that he woke up from a dream and strode inside.
"Chen Laoshi, go put on your costume and watch the scene first, then act it out after a while."
A clerk handed a piece of tissue paper to Chen Laoshi and said without leaving a trace.
"I can't read that."
"Oh, it's nothing.
There are special people over there who can tell you the drama."
After that, he nodded a little in the direction of the old locust tree.
Chen Laoshi nodded with great joy.
“Thank you, thank you very much” He walked quickly to the old locust tree and said respectfully to the thirty-year-old scribe: "Please help me read it, Mr.
Cha."
The scribe nodded, took the tissue paper and said while stroking his goatee: "Well, this time you are acting in a play to present a thief."
"What" Chen Laoshi was stunned.
Do you really want to play a thief?
Does he look like this?
It really made Danwa talk.
The scribe frowned and said, "Why, is there anything I can't do?"
Chen Laoshi shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, of course."
"Then how should I act?"
"Just act out a scene where Zhang Xianzhong is furious after losing a battle.
The more ferocious and scary his face is, the better.
Remember, you must not have any scruples.

The more realistic the acting, the better."
Chen Laoshi nodded as if he understood.
"Is there anything else I should pay attention to?"
"No, this audition is just to try out the feeling.
There are no requirements for the script, it all depends on improvisation."
"oh."
Chen Laoshi responded, but felt a little embarrassed.
He has never acted before.
How should he act if he is not given lyrics?
He racked his brains, pondering everything about Zhang Xianzhong in his mind, and finally acted out.
"You donkey ball, get out of here.
If you don't get out, I'll cut off your drunkard son, a bunch of turtle sons."
Chen Laoshi was very involved in the performance and became more and more excited as he performed.
He pointed at the clerk who had just told him the story and cursed.
The scribe had a livid face and could not say a word.
Chen Laoshi was scolding and had no intention of stopping.
Finally, the scribe shouted stop.
"Ahem, your acting is pretty good.
Just don't be so exaggerated in your facial expressions.
In addition, your body movements must be more in place, and your strength must be sufficient.
Don't look like you haven't eaten enough.
Okay, let's go over there and audition
