Chapter 233
As the acting president, Xu Deyi is actually very troubled by the current situation of the Liyuan Guild.
When Tan Xinpei was still in power, he was able to suppress those numerous mountaintops with his own ability and prestige!
However, after Tan Xinpei passed away, the Liyuan Guild was leaderless. They tried to elect a leader several times, but all ended in failure!
In the past two years, many people nominated Yang Xiaolou to serve as the head of the association.
But Yang Xiaolou valued his life the most. He knew that his health had begun to decline and he did not have the energy to manage the Liyuan Guild, so he politely declined!
However, things are different now. When Yang Xiaolou came back this time, he originally planned to take some people from his troupe to the Magic City. However, after he came back, Mei Lanfang and others came to visit him, hoping that he could take on the burden of the Liyuan Guild.
Although Mei Lanfang was famous all over the country, he did not have much say in the opera industry, which valued seniority and qualifications.
To put it bluntly, although the Four Great Dan Actresses are big names in the eyes of opera fans, they are still junior figures in the opera industry.
Mei Lanfang was also deeply aware of the chaos in the Liyuan Guild. Over the years, many of his reforms had been obstructed and even suppressed by the Liyuan Guild.
So, this time, taking advantage of Yang Xiaolou's return, Mei Lanfang brought other outstanding young people to find Yang Xiaolou, hoping to reorganize the Liyuan Guild and put it on the right track.
Yang Xiaolou looked at the group of young people in front of him. He knew that these people were the future of the opera world, so after careful consideration, he made his own choice!
If he could become the head of the Liyuan Guild, it would also be a good thing for his apprentice Lin Mu.
Although the process was somewhat tortuous, with the joint efforts of Yang Xiaolou and Xu Deyi, the Liyuan Guild was renamed the Beijing Liyuan Guild, and fifteen directors were elected, including Yang Xiaolou as the head, Xu Deyi, Yu Shuyan, Ma Lianliang, Tan Fuying and the four famous actresses.
The previous leaders of the guilds were not killed at once, but ten people were selected to become alternate directors.
Since then, the Beijing Liyuan Guild has been rebuilt, which has made all the Peking Opera actors in the city excited.
Because the biggest purpose of establishing the Liyuan Guild was to allow grassroots Peking Opera actors to have a job.
Whether it is forming a troupe and inviting actors, or taking care of the birth, death and burial of poor artists and other public welfare matters, the guild is responsible for all of them.
Things like voluntary performances and disaster relief performances are also the responsibility of the Liyuan Guild.
Previously, the Liyuan Guild was in chaos. Not only did it impose levies on various troupes, but it also ignored the basic demands of many grassroots actors. This led to the closure of many troupes and even some actors starving to death on the streets!
……
"Boss Lin, my name is Wang Zicheng. I'm here on behalf of Master Yuan San of the Yuan Wenhui to invite you to perform in Tianjin. Our Master San heard that you're good at the Qi School, so he specifically asked me to come and invite you!"
A middle-aged man with a thick Tianjin accent, wearing a long gown, sat in front of Lin Mu with a smile on his face.
Lin Mu looked at the information of this person on the radar and couldn't help but frown in his heart!
Wow, this is the person sent by Yuan Wenhui!
This grandson is a complete traitor!
Yuan Wenhui came from a porter background, that is, he moved goods at the docks.
He joined the gang in 1926, recruited disciples and gathered people, and gradually became the leader of the Anqing Gang.
In 1931, Yuan Wenhui joined the Jiaopenji faction and forced laborers to mine and build roads, resulting in numerous casualties.
By now, the casinos and brothels opened by Yuan Wenhui have spread all over Tianjin, and he has become the undisputed number one in Tianjin.
When Lin Mu heard that it was Yuan Wenhui who came to invite him, a murderous intent surged in his heart.
Because in later life, when Lin Mu was performing in Tianjin, he met several old drum-singing artists, all of whom were women. When they talked about the past, their eyes were red and they said that Lin Mu had met a good time!
