Since 1983

After this incident, Xu Fei did not dare to put up a sign on the street, but asked his colleagues in the group to help pay attention to fellow stamp collectors.

Not long after, someone actually contacted, saying that there are full-page chicken tickets and dog tickets. Eighty pieces per edition, eight cents each, negotiated by the two parties, and transferred for seven yuan.

In later generations, a single piece of chicken ticket is more than 200 yuan, and a dog ticket is 50 yuan, which is worthless, just put together. But the most wanted monkey ticket has never been heard.

After a few days like this, two letters were sent to the Quyi Troupe and the Repertory Theater Troupe respectively, which were the replies from the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions".

"Comrade Xu Fei:

We have received your letter. Please meet at 714, Capital Overseas Chinese Building. You will be responsible for your own board and lodging. If you are not selected, the travel expenses will not be reimbursed. "

Just one sentence caused quite a commotion.

Filming a TV series, it’s still the four great masterpieces, if you say it’s too small, it’ll bring credit to the unit, and if you say it’s too big, it’ll make your ancestors look good.

For a moment, Wu Yangyang's voice surrounded this poor young man, and everyone in the group expressed their absolute support, asking for leave, asking for money, uh, let's discuss it...

In mid-May, the sun is warm.

At the door of a family, a not-so-distracted farewell to life and death is staged. Chen's father and Chen's mother urged him ten thousand times, and Xu Fei assured him in every possible way. His childhood friend, Chen Xiaoxu, kept rolling his eyes.

After ink staining for a long time, he carried a big army green schoolbag and brought the reluctant girl to the bus stop. He wanted to go by himself, but his parents disagreed, so he had to go with this annoying guy.

The two of them waited for nearly half an hour before they saw a red and white tram with a locomotive-like front gliding along the long track.

Don't be too disgusted. In the early 1980s, only 26 cities across the country had more advanced trolleybuses.

Xu Fei looked at the broken car, which was rattling like a tractor, and stopped in front of him. As soon as the door opened, the auntie conductor in uniform came out first and shouted: "The terminal train station, the terminal train station! Don't squeeze everyone, get in line Car, line up and get on the car!"

As soon as she stepped aside, the bastard rushed into the car and handed over a dime.

He held the crossbar, occupied one place, and piled the luggage on another place, blocking the crowd with his body, "Sit!"

"..."

Chen Xiaoxu glanced at it, and found for the first time that it was quite reliable.

There is not much space in the car. Instead of individual seats, they are like long benches, with a row on the left and right. There was nothing to say along the way, when Xu Fei felt that his egg yolk was about to be shaken out, he heard a clattering sound, and finally arrived at the train station.

The real green leather car, from head to toe, has a tormenting smell of body odor. Tickets for the afternoon cost 12.8 yuan each. It takes more than ten hours to sit on the train overnight, and it happens to arrive during the daytime the next day.

The two of them sat by the window, across from each other. After tidying up, they both let out a sigh of relief—it's not easy to go out these days!

It didn't take long for the passengers to fill up one after another, and the cabin quickly became stuffy.

Chen Xiaoxu slapped the fan with his hands, without any intention of chatting, he dug out a copy of "Jane Eyre" by himself. Xu Fei looked left and right for a while, then suddenly said, "Hey, didn't your partner send you off?"

"He's preparing for the exam."

"Do you want to go to drama school?"

"how do you know?"

"Where can a person from the repertory theater go for the test? Does he want to test for Nortel or Chinese opera?"

"I'm not sure, I'll give it a try anyway."

"Hey, I understand this!"

Xu Fei got excited, and baba said: "There are three major art schools in China, Nortel, Chinese Opera and Shanghai Opera. The gap is not big now, but it will be different in the future. The Shanghai Opera is neither awkward nor embarrassing. It ranks at the bottom. Nortel, China Opera Become two big mountains. Especially in Chinese opera, in another ten years or so, there will be a guy surnamed Chu who will apply for the training class, hey, that person is amazing, I will tell you that there are peaches and plums all over the world!"

"You are not serious, so I won't tell you."

Chen Xiaoxu listened very seriously at first, but then he became confused, lowered his head and continued to read. Looking back, her mind was not on the books, but on her boyfriend who told her that she was going to take the exam.

That's right, she has a boyfriend, who is Bai Erye in "The Mansion Gate".

According to rumors that are not true or not, the two are in the drama troupe together, and the second master Bai is also considered handsome and single. At that time, many people in the regiment were dating, but he was the only one who didn't. The leader felt strange and asked.

The man said, "The person I like hasn't grown up yet."

Ouch, the girl was touched at that time!

You know, she learned to dance since she was a child, and she kicked Zijinguan backwards with one trick to play sneakily. After graduating from junior high school, I wanted to join the ballet troupe, but I joined the acrobatic troupe after passing the political examination, and then transferred to the repertory troupe. I was only fourteen years old that year.

Second Master Bai was ten years older than her, and he confessed his feelings to a fourteen-year-old child... Listen, is this what people say? ! !

But the feelings of a girl are always pure and beautiful. She is sad for the possible separation, but there is always a fly nagging in her ear.

"Since we are asked to go there, first of all, it looks like we must have passed this test. When we get to the teacher, we will definitely ask questions. What are you picking up ashes? Uncle, Grandma Liu is the first test of love. Don't be nervous and calm down, you will be able to pass it..."

Chen Xiaoxu didn't want to talk about it, but couldn't help it, and said, "I've seen A Dream of Red Mansions!"

"Seeing is different from understanding. You have to prepare deeply."

"Understand? So many experts across the country dare not say they understand the Dream of Red Mansions. Do you dare to say that you understand it?"

"There is nothing to be afraid of. Everyone has different thoughts and perspectives, and understands different meanings. The so-called Confucian scholars see "Yi", Taoists see obscenity, wits see lingering, revolutionaries see rowman... This is the truth."

"You don't like studying, why are you doing one set now?" She was a little surprised.

"I was ignorant before, so I can't change my ways now? At least I have memorized storytelling since I was a child, and I have a little ink in my stomach."

"Hey, tell me, what did you see from "Dream of Red Mansions"?"

The girl was biting the tip of a white and tender thumb, and there was a little bit of habitual meanness in the corner of her mouth.

"I've seen so much..."

Xu Fei leaned back tactically, pointing at Jiangshan, which seems to be true and false, "I have seen the past, present, past and future, as well as your destiny!"

………………

"Tsk tsk, can you believe that there are no odd and even numbers in the capital? Can you believe that the streets are full of wild dogs? Can you believe that this girl is like a puddle of water?"

When that guy came out of the station, his mouth never broke, and he spoke strange words that no one could understand.

Chen Xiaoxu ignored him at all, and was absorbed in the joy of coming to the capital for the first time. She had been on the train for more than ten hours, and she had already survived the period of fatigue. The weather was just right this time, and the majestic ancient capital rushed towards her face, and it was full of vitality everywhere, filling up the blue bar immediately.

The delicate girl shows a lively and active side. In fact, she is quite lively, but the artistic image is too deep, which is easy to be misunderstood.

The two of them did not go far, and first went to a place called the accommodation introduction office near the train station to register. There is no ID card these days, so you have to get a letter of introduction from your unit when you go out, first register, and then go to the designated guest house.

The capital city is the strictest. In some special periods, such as the eve of the National Day, you have to get a letter of introduction from the relevant provincial department before you can buy a train ticket. If they think you don't need to go, you can't go even if it's a big deal.

The letter of introduction was just a thin piece of paper, and it said: "There is an actor from our troupe, xx, coming to Beijing on a business trip, please welcome the xx guest house, etc..."

Of course, with the size of the Quyi Troupe, it can't match up with a Beijing unit. They usually stay in the guest house of Ansteel's Beijing Office when they are on business trips. And the two of them registered, ran to the place exhaustedly, went in and asked, it was full!

Chen Xiaoxu was dumbfounded immediately, he stuttered, "Well, what should I do?"

"It's okay, let's live somewhere else."

Xu Fei hastened to guide her, and led her around the street, and soon found a state-run hotel with steps extending underground, probably rebuilt from an air-raid shelter.

He was very experienced at a glance, and two big characters floated brightly: cheap!

Walking down the steps, the light is very dim, there are long light bulbs hanging above the head, and a counter is horizontal inside.

"That, comrade!"

He called out the title in a not so quick way, and said, "Excuse me, is there any room left?"

"How many rooms do you want?" An older lady in a white coat raised her head.

"We want two single rooms, here is the letter of introduction."

"Oh, the ones in Ancheng, the guest houses are full, right? This is a common thing in the capital, just get used to it, and some are still in the bathhouse to deal with it overnight! You are lucky today, I have a room... hey you guys What's the relationship? Are they a couple? They look like a man and a woman."

The eldest sister gave full play to the talents and attributes of the people in the capital, and Chen Xiaoxu was taken aback when she heard it.

"Look at what you said, do you still need a single room for a couple?" Xu Fei followed suit.

"That's not true. People are getting more and more wild now. A couple can still live together. Are you here on a business trip?"

"It's okay..."

He leaned over and said in a low voice, "Isn't that crew of Dream of Red Mansions currently casting actors? We're here for an interview."

"Yo!"

The eldest sister's eyes lit up, and she looked up and down again, "I didn't say that, this girl looks like she walked out of a painting, she will definitely succeed, and you are hard to find even if you are tall and tall."

What do you mean?

He just came out of the painting, and I'm only as big as I am, so it's no wonder that he is so talented and beautiful.

"Our single room costs one yuan per night, and there is no toilet, so there are just two rooms left. Come and have a look, it doesn't matter if you don't stay here."

The eldest sister led them to turn left and right in a tunnel-like layout, and then opened a small door. The inside is less than ten square meters, just a wooden bed covered with checked sheets, and another table for lame legs, which is cushioned with a brick.

Xu Fei asked Chen Xiaoxu with his eyes. The girl obviously didn't like it, but she still nodded, "Let's live here."

So, the two registered and cleaned up.

Afterwards, they met again in the room and each took out their property calculations. One brought 40 yuan and a few catties of common food stamps; the other brought 30 yuan and several catties of food stamps.

"We have a total of seventy, and we have more than twenty tickets to go back, and there are more than forty left. It's hard to come to the capital, and we have to bring some gifts."

He thought about his spending itinerary, and said, "Go out for dinner later, go to the Overseas Chinese Building in the afternoon, and then check the situation. If you have time, go to the department store to have a look, and return the day after tomorrow."

"Well, listen to you."

It was rare for Chen Xiaoxu to be well-behaved, because she unexpectedly discovered that the other party was a very good travel partner, and she unconsciously developed a sense of trust.
