"Go and negotiate with them quickly. Can we take photos from the side when the showcase agency tonight?"

Su Hui's temporary intention made the deputy director inexplicable.

After a moment of silence, the deputy director asked, "Can't you take a photo tomorrow?"

"Just in case!" Su Hui said, "I heard that the internal structure of this machine puppet is very complicated, so they will show it once. Any details are missed, which will be a loss for us. Take a photo twice and it will be easier to cut the material."

After saying the reason, Su Hui urged, "Go quickly and talk to them."

"Why don't you go--"

"I have such a bad temper, can I negotiate with them well?" Su Hui was confident.

Deputy Director: "…"

You are quite self-aware.

After hesitating for a moment, the deputy director said weakly: "The guests have all gone to the backstage..."

Su Hui glared at her eyes, "They went to theirs, you took pictures of yours, are there any conflicts?"

“…”

When I met such a director who always made a temporary decision, the deputy director was really bald.

The guild hall covers a small area, but it is used for everything. Except for a performance hall, the rest of the places are arranged as exhibition halls for tourists to visit.

Qingshan Town is one of the relatively developed places in the province except Ancheng. During peak season, tourists from the guild hall are endless.

Because the performance hall has a limited number of people and the artists in the guild are also fixed, they cannot perform multiple times at multiple locations at the same time, so the old guild owner uses this "tour" method to collect exhibition tickets to increase the income of the guild.

The Zhou family puppet hall has a century-old heritage. The exhibition hall introduces the history of the puppet hall, the curators and their experiences of the past dynasties.

Of course, there are also various monumental "puppet men" displays.

There are lifelike and exquisite puppets, as well as dilapidated puppets who have been working for many years.

Every puppet man has his own story.

Seeing that they were interested, Manager Chen explained to them one by one, acting as a fully qualified commentator.

"Five years ago, the old museum owner was selected as the representative inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage representative project. At the age of twelve, he studied puppet show with a folk opera troupe. Later, he joined the puppet theater troupe established by the government. Later, he felt that he was not good at learning skills, so he came to the Zhou Puppet Hall to learn from his master..."

When talking about the old owner, Manager Chen admired and admired him, was excited and talked endlessly.

This is a real person who loves puppet shows.

It seemed that Si Sheng, who had a cold attitude, calmed down a little.

Since the old owner retired, Si Sheng has never been to Qingshan Town again because he could never see such a wonderful puppet show here again.

The old museum owner has been in contact with puppet shows for more than 60 years and has devoted himself to it and has made this industry the ultimate.

Since then, no one of the younger generation has surpassed him. Perhaps he has lost some talent, but more so, he does not have the thought of hard work and his sincere love for this industry.

"Who is that mechanical puppet from?"

When Manager Chen made an almost complete introduction, Zhong Yu suddenly asked the question he had been curious about.

"This," Manager Chen paused, smiled a little apologetically, and said, "I'm so sorry, I don't know either."

The staff who followed the post explained, "This is a gift that the old museum owner received five years ago, with a letter attached, saying that he liked his puppet show very much and thanked him for his efforts in the puppet show in his life. The letter was not signed, so I don't know who it was. However, the old museum owner should know, but he didn't say it."

"so?"

Chu Liangxia was shocked.

"Yes. It's amazing, right?" Manager Chen said incredible. "The man who makes this machine puppet must be a master. The man puppet was taken to an international exhibition before. Many scholars have studied it and say that making this man puppet is really amazing. Since then, the man puppet has become our treasure in the museum."

The staff nodded quickly, "To this day, many tourists who don't watch puppet shows will buy tickets to see puppets in the agency."

"After becoming the 'treasure of the museum', did the producer of the machine puppets come forward?" Chu Liangxia asked curiously.

"No," replied Manager Chen, "After the exhibition, there were a few fakes. They knew that the "Treasure of the Town Hall" was unclaimed, so they pretended to be the maker and made up the story very well. As a result, the old owner was too lazy to finish listening, so they directly bombarded them."

No one noticed that Si Sheng, who was beside him, suddenly touched his nose with his fingers, and his eyes fell to the distance.

Five years ago, she received a order and wanted to stay in Qingshan Town for half a month. When she passed by Zhou's Puppet Hall, she suddenly had the idea of ​​watching a puppet show, so she walked in and got along with the old owner of the museum.

In the past half month, she was basically free, so she ran to the Zhou Puppet Hall. After a long time, the old owner knew her and took her to the backstage to see it.

After leaving Qingshan Town, Si Sheng spent half a year in his spare time making machine puppets intermittently and then sent them to the old museum owner.

As for the development of the "treasure of the museum", she never expected it...

"It's here."

As he said that, Manager Chen pointed to a room with closed doors and windows.

Chu Liangxia was delighted and a little excited.

It was just now—

"Manager Chen! Manager Chen!"

A staff member ran over, took a breath after a look at the room door that had not been opened.

"What's going on?" Manager Chen frowned, not satisfied with his recklessness.

The staff quickly calmed down, first looked at the three of them suspiciously, then came to Manager Chen's ear and whispered a few times.

Manager Chen paused, turned his face slightly cold, and then hesitated to look at Si Sheng.

Si Sheng asked: "It has something to do with us?"

"Not that." Manager Chen's expression suddenly became much gentler and he quickly explained, "That's right, the program team here who recorded the variety show has made an appointment to shoot the puppets in the agency tomorrow. However, after hearing that we will also have a mechanism display tonight, I want to ask if we can come and shoot it once."

After saying that, he added, "They are afraid of missing out, so they want to shoot more materials."

Si Sheng frowned slightly.

She didn't say anything, but she heard Zhong Yu feel upset, "They stopped us at the door."

“…”

Suddenly hearing such a reason for refusal, Si Sheng looked at Zhong Yu with amusement and cry.

Do you still remember this revenge?

"Yes, yes, it's their fault. They heard about this and want to apologize to you."

Manager Chen nodded and then expressed his attitude, "This depends entirely on you. If you nod, we will allow them to take pictures; if you think it is not suitable, just pretend that there is no such thing."

Whether to shoot or not, once or twice, there is actually no difference for them who will definitely perform a mechanism display.

It all depends on Si Sheng's attitude.

Si Sheng turned his head and asked the two of them: "What do you think?"

After thinking for a while, Chu Liangxia said, "I'm fine."

“…”

Zhong Yu didn't say anything, he was having a quarrel.

Retracting his gaze, Si Sheng asked Manager Chen, "How many people?"

Manager Chen didn't know, so he looked at the staff who had just come.

"They knew this time it was for the VIP, so they only sent two photographers and promised that they would never disturb you." The staff quickly explained.

As he said that, he looked at the three of them curiously.

When it comes to "VIPs", they have met them, and they are all masters from their walks to learn and communicate, and the old owner will also personally entertain them.

And, all of these "masters" are predecessors in the industry. They all have countless titles and are all fifty years old...

I have never seen a "VIP" who is less than thirty years old.

As for displaying puppets, the old owner usually notified many days in advance. This time, less than an hour in advance, the "VIP" arrived, and no matter how you look at it, it was a "temporary decision".

The staff at the museum were very curious when they heard the news. But when they made excuses to pass by, they found that they were all wearing masks and refused to show their true faces.

Especially the man, his eyebrows and eyes were hidden in the shadow of the hood, and he could not see any outline.

"Can."

After a little thought, Si Sheng agreed.

Zhong Yu's quiet gaze came over, and his unhappy emotions overflowed.

Si Sheng avoided his sight and pretended not to see it.

She chose to agree, and there were three reasons.

First, they had an entanglement with Duan Tongyue and Qingyiren and were unhappy at the door, but they were not with the entire "Looking for the Secrets of the City" program team.

Second, if the agency puppets are displayed on popular variety shows, which can make some viewers interested in puppet shows, why not do it?

Third,...

She didn't expect Duan Tongyue would cause trouble again.

If Duan Tongyue is so blind and wants to come to her again to act in trouble, it will probably not be so easy for them to record the machine puppet tomorrow night.

It would be better to provide some material to the program team now.

Feeling a little sorry.

I began to swear that the update was on time, but I couldn't control it until now.

I started to swear to write about traditional culture, but in order to ensure that I kept up with ten thousand updates, and my mentality was broken, I didn’t do any careful investigation on puppet shows. Today I checked and found that there were too many types of puppet shows, different places, different types, and many masters’ experiences are worth mentioning, but I was not prepared enough and I was about to die.

Anyway, you just think I have written it blindly, it is completely fictional.
