Chapter 77
77 Birthday
in fact, what you have to overcome is not only the audience’s criticism, but also the pressure you put on yourself. After you go on stage, one is to train your courage, the other is to train your release. Do you understand what I mean? ” Chang Yuhu said, ” if you have free time, come over and practice. I will let Dong Chaoping know later.
Jiang se nodded. She knew that Chang Yuhu was doing this for her own good. An opportunity like this was not something that came easily. She was not an ungrateful person, so she said sincerely, ”
“Teacher Chang, thank you.”
Chang Yuhu patted her hand and said, ”
“I’ve seen your performance just now. It wasn’t satisfactory at the beginning, but you adjusted very quickly. You weren’t frightened by your own inferior performance at the beginning. Look at the young man who played the role of child beggar A. He was selected to play in the theater when he was eight or nine years old. Don’t look down on his young age, his acting experience is much longer than yours.”
She pointed out a few of Jiang SE’s shortcomings in her earlier performance, and Jiang se took her words to heart.
In the afternoon, she went on stage twice during the rehearsal time, and her performance was better and better.
It was already five or six O ‘clock in the evening when they left the theater.
When Jiang se was rehearsing on stage earlier, she had tried her best, so she did not feel it. However, when she walked out of the theater, she realized that her throat was a little dry because she was not used to self-regulating when she was reading her lines.
After being nervous, he relaxed, and his body ached faintly.
you’ve left my phone number. If you have anything you don’t understand, call me.
Chang Yuhu still had some matters to attend to. The person who drove to pick her up had been waiting at the side door of the Grand Theater for a while. She gave Jiang se a few instructions before she left in a hurry.
After parting ways with Chang Yuhu, Jiang se prepared to return to her rented apartment.
The largest library in the imperial capital was near the Grand Theater. She had originally planned to come with Chang Yuhu and go to the library after Chang Yuhu’s teaching. She would then rent a few books that she had mentioned when she chatted with hou Xiling and his wife today.
However, because she had rehearsed a few scenes in the afternoon, she was indeed a little tired, so she naturally gave up on this idea.
Chang Yuhu greeted the person in charge of the theater. Since she would have more time to come over in the future, Jiang se made up her mind. However, just as she turned around, her phone rang.
The call was from Yu Xiaozhou, who was in the dormitory. When Jiang se picked it up, she asked loudly, ”
“Sese, it’s CAO Shuang’s birthday tomorrow. After some discussion, we decided that it’s a weekend tomorrow, so we’re going out tonight to raise some money to celebrate her birthday.”
Although Jiang SE’s mentality was somewhat different from these girls after her rebirth, the four of them still got along well in the dormitory.
Yu Xiaozhou had a straightforward personality. Cao Shuang and Chen Yuwei were easy to get along with. Hence, Jiang se agreed to his request as soon as Yu Xiaozhou finished.
“Then I’ll go back to the dormitory later.”
Yu Xiaozhou hung up the call in a good mood. After Jiang se agreed to her request, she naturally did not plan to return to her rented apartment. Instead, she took the subway back to school.
The three girls in the dormitory were all there. When Jiang se returned, they were sitting cross-legged and discussing where they should go to have fun.
Jiang se took her clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out, she was drying her hair when she heard Yu Xiaozhou’s excited voice.
“Sese, we’ve finished our discussion,”
She clapped her hands and her eyes lit up.
“Yuwei and I are already 18. Sese, you’re the youngest and Cao Shuang ‘er is almost 19. We haven’t had a drink or gone to a bar alone.”
Chen Yuwei nodded her head in agreement,
Xiaozhou said that there’s a high-end club called Jiulong Hall in the upper ring of the imperial capital. You can sing and drink there. Why don’t we each pool some money and go have a look? ”
Jiang se, who was wiping her hair, paused.
The nine Dragons Hall was a well-known entertainment club in the imperial capital. Naturally, Jiang se knew about it. There were many entertainment options in the club, but the cost was not low either. If one wanted to join, the annual membership fee for an ordinary member would be more than 100000 Yuan.
If the girls wanted to go there to play, even if it was just to sing and play, the simplest expense would be at least a thousand.
The girls in the dormitory came from well-to-do families and had enough for their monthly living expenses. However, these girls ‘expenses were not small either. It had only been a few months since school started, but the dormitory was already filled with clothes, shoes, bags, and the like. She reminded, ”
“Even if it’s just singing, it’s not cheap to go to the nine Dragon Hall.” Not to mention drinking wine, the expenses were much greater.
Yu Xiaozhou nodded.
we’ve checked. Cao Shuang ‘er’s birthday is tomorrow. We’ll be there later. We’ll leave the dormitory at 11 O’ clock and take a taxi there. We’ll reach Jiulong Hall at about 11:30. There won’t be a traffic jam at night.
They had already made the necessary arrangements before they left for the nine Dragon Hall.
“I can spend the morning with Shuang ‘er in the nine Dragon Hall and be the first to wish her a Happy Birthday.”
moreover, the fees in the nine Dragon Hall are also charged according to the time period. At this time, it’s about 680 Yuan per hour. Let’s go and play for a while, and each person will pay about 400 yuan.
Chen Yuwei calculated and reported a number.
Cao Shuang also said in a straightforward manner, ”
my parents gave me an extra 1500 Yuan for my birthday this month. We can order some cheap wine to drink.
The group had already come to an agreement. They had also inquired about the expenses. Naturally, Jiang se did not have any other opinions.
“As for the cost of the round trip, we’ll just split it equally.”
Cao Shuang was the oldest, and it was her birthday tonight. Therefore, everyone unanimously decided to put the money in her hands for safekeeping.
Before Jiang se returned, she received a call from Yu Xiaozhou. When she found out that they were going to pool money to go out and play together, she had already withdrawn 2000 Yuan from her account. She handed 400 yuan to Cao Shuang first. The rest of them paid up in turn as well. Since Xiaozhou had made a call to book a private karaoke room at the nine Dragons Hall, they began to discuss their plans to play that night.
Since she had to spend Cao Shuang’s birthday that night, Jiang se naturally could not go to bed. Hence, after she dried her hair, she decided to take a nap.
It was almost nine O ‘clock when they woke up. The girls were busy changing their clothes and putting on makeup. Jiang se also got up to wash up. It was almost November, but the night weather was still a little chilly. She put on a pair of jeans and a sweater. She even planned to put on a jacket to wrap herself up tightly.
The girls in the dormitory cleaned up until 10:30 pm. Yu Xiaozhou called in advance to book a taxi. It was the first time for the girls to go out at this time of the night. They were a little nervous and a little excited, so they laughed and laughed all the way in the car.
As Yu Xiaozhou had said, there was no traffic jam at night. It was only around 11:30 when they arrived at Jiulong Hall.
For the people of this era, 11:30 was just the beginning of many people’s nightlife.
