That year, Gu Yansheng picked up a violinist backstage.
At that time, he was the most popular actor in Shanghai. He was admired all over the city.
But the man was wearing an old gown that had been washed white, and was holding a broken piano. The first thing he asked him was:
"Do you care about the food?"
Gu Yansheng felt ridiculous.
Three minutes later, the man tried the strings.
As soon as the string fell, the entire backstage fell silent.
From then on, there was Lin Huaiyin behind Gu Yansheng.
Together they accepted commissions, revised old plays, went to theaters, and held meetings.
The first meeting in "The Peony Pavilion" was emotional.
In "The Romance of the West Chamber", someone delivers a message for someone else.
Learn restraint in "The Story of the Hosta".
The "Palace of Eternal Life" was full of pampering guests.
In "Peach Blossom Fan", elegance creates coldness.
In "Fifteen Guan", the unjust case has not been resolved.
In "The Injustice of Dou E", no one listens to the innocence.
At first, everyone thought this was an interesting anecdote from Shanghai:
Boss Gu picked up an unreasonable piano player.
Boss Gu gave him food, meat, a place to live, and a playlist for him.
Boss Gu would say to anyone he met: "This is my violinist."
Later, the city was in turmoil, the old drama became evidence of guilt, and the old people became sinners.
Only then did Gu Yansheng realize that he had proudly shown Lin Huaiyin to the world and personally pushed Lin Huaiyin into the spotlight.
That year, everyone said that Boss Gu had picked up his violinist.
Many years later, Gu Yansheng found out.
It wasn't him who picked up Lin Huaiyin.
It was Lin Huaiyin who picked him out of a play that would never end when he was at his most decent, most vain, and least sincere.
Purpose: True love is priceless
